TTM Technologies, Inc. Reports 2010 First Quarter Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., May 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), a major global printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the first quarter of 2010, ended March 29, 2010.

2010 Highlights

Completed business combination with Meadville Holdings Limited's PCB business, creating one of the largest PCB manufacturers in the world with pro forma 2009 annual revenue of $1.2 billion.
Gross margin in the first quarter 2010 expanded to 19.5 percent from 18.5 percent in the fourth quarter 2009.
TTM's average panel price and book to bill improved quarter over quarter as North American PCB demand strengthened.

First Quarter 2010 Financial Results – GAAP

"TTM's first quarter marks a milestone in our transformation to a stronger, world class leader in PCB manufacturing," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "With the completion of the Meadville acquisition, and a restructuring that has better matched our North American footprint to demand, we are now well-positioned to foster future growth in the U.S. and abroad."

First quarter net sales of $138.2 million decreased $11.7 million, or 7.8 percent, from fourth quarter net sales of $149.9 million. The decline in net sales was due primarily to the closure of the Los Angeles, California facility in the fourth quarter as well as the acceleration of order deliveries from the first quarter into the fourth quarter to meet customer requests.

First quarter operating income of $9.9 million was an improvement over fourth quarter operating income of $6.6 million. TTM recorded $2.8 million and $6.8 million in charges related to previously announced plant closures, impairment of long-lived assets and the Meadville Holdings transaction in the first quarter 2010 and fourth quarter 2009, respectively. Net income for the first quarter was $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income in the fourth quarter of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

"With demand improving, and with the restructuring activities we began in 2009 largely completed, we expect to see improving revenue and profitability in the second quarter from our U.S. business," Alder said.

First Quarter 2010 Financial Results – Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory write-down, costs related to the Meadville Holdings transaction and miscellaneous closing costs as well as the income tax effects related to these expenses.

First quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income was $8.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. This compares to fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP net income of $8.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Excluding asset impairment charges, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter was $15.1 million, or 10.9 percent of net sales, compared to fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $14.7 million, or 9.8 percent of net sales.

First Quarter 2010 Segment Information

TTM Technologies reports two operating segments: PCB Manufacturing and Backplane Assembly.

For the PCB Manufacturing segment, first quarter 2010 net sales (before inter-company sales) were $122.9 million, compared with $128.2 million in the fourth quarter 2009. First quarter operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $10.5 million compared to operating segment income of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter. Excluding charges related to plant closure, impairment of long-lived assets and transaction costs, first quarter operating income (before amortization of intangibles) for the PCB Manufacturing segment would have been $12.9 million for the first quarter compared to fourth quarter operating segment income of $11.8 million.

For the Backplane Assembly segment, first quarter net sales (before inter-company sales) were $21.7 million, compared with $29.3 million in the fourth quarter. First quarter operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $0.2 million compared to operating segment income of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter. Excluding charges related to plant closure, first quarter operating income (before amortization of intangibles) for the Backplane Assembly segment would have been $0.5 million compared to fourth quarter operating segment income of $2.5 million. The decline in operating income in the Backplane Assembly segment is due primarily to the closure of the Hayward, California facility.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments at the end of the first quarter totaled $222.9 million, an increase of $7.2 million from $215.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter.

Second Quarter 2010 Forecast

For the second quarter of 2010, TTM estimates revenue will more than double in a range from $290 million to $310 million, GAAP earnings in a range from $0.03 to $0.12 per diluted share and non-GAAP earnings in a range from $0.16 to $0.25 per diluted share, as a result of incorporating Meadville Holdings' results beginning April 9, 2010. TTM issued 36.3 million shares as part of the Meadville purchase price. As a result, diluted share count for the second quarter will be approximately 76.5 million shares.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information about the Company's non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures - which exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debt, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures, costs related to the Meadville Holdings transaction and miscellaneous closing costs as well as the associated tax impact of these charges - provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.

A material limitation associated with the use of the above non-GAAP financial measures is that they have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable with similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

⁽¹⁾ Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the Company reports gains and losses from the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment as component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Prior to the second quarter 2009, the gains and losses from the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment were included as a component of cost of goods sold.

⁽²⁾This information provides a reconciliation of EBITA / EBITDA / Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS to the financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.

⁽³⁾ This information provides non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures -- which exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debt (before consideration of capitalized interest), asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures, costs related to the Meadville Holdings transaction and miscellaneous closing costs as well as the associated tax impact of these charges -- provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.

"EBITDA" means earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. "EBITA" means earnings before interest expense, income taxes and amortization. We present EBITDA / EBITA / Adjusted EBITDA to enhance the understanding of our operating results. EBITDA / EBITA / Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure we use to evaluate our operations. In addition, we provide our EBITDA / EBITA / Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find EBITDA / EBITA / Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful measure for evaluating our operating performance and comparing our operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and for evaluating our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. However, EBITDA / EBITA / Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
