Financial Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to $377.9 million from $357.8 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to $52.6 million from $45.7 million in the third quarter of 2010.

GAAP net income attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $33.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $29.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010. The results for both the third and fourth quarters of 2010 included foreign exchange gains that contributed approximately $0.02 per diluted share each quarter.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $39.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $35.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $76.5 million, or 20.2 percent of net sales, compared to $66.9 million, or 18.7 percent of net sales, for the third quarter of 2010.

"Our better than expected results for the fourth quarter capped a remarkable year for TTM and demonstrate the continuing success of our strategic growth initiatives as well as the strength of our market position," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "Strong demand for our advanced technology products, including PCBs used in touchpad tablets, networking equipment and smartphones, contributed to the record fourth quarter revenue and profitability. We continue to benefit from robust growth in our Asia Pacific operations and solid performance in our North America operations. Additionally, we are leveraging our global footprint, highly efficient operations and low cost structure to increase TTM's margins."

For the fiscal year 2010, the increase in sales, operating income, net income and EBITDA were primarily due to the combination with Meadville.

Net sales for fiscal year 2010 increased to $1.2 billion from $582.5 million in fiscal year 2009. 

Operating income for fiscal year 2010 increased to $125.6 million from $18.5 million in fiscal year 2009.

GAAP net income attributable to stockholders for fiscal year 2010 was $71.5 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2009.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to stockholders for fiscal year 2010 was $105.5 million, or $1.49 per diluted share. This compares to fiscal year 2009 non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $30.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share.

EBITDA for fiscal year 2010 was $193.4 million, or 16.3 percent of net sales, compared to $42.0 million, or 7.2 percent of net sales, for fiscal year 2009.

Please refer to the tables below for a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders as well as EBITDA.

"2010 was a milestone year for TTM," said Alder.  "We completed the transformative combination with Meadville, achieved record revenue and profitability, and generated strong cash flow to fund expansion. We made great strides in positioning TTM to take advantage of the growth in the global PCB market. As we enter 2011, we are excited about the multiple growth drivers we see for our business and believe we are well positioned for success as our momentum continues."  

Business Outlook

The Company's guidance for the first quarter of 2011 reflects normal seasonality. For the first quarter of 2011, TTM estimates revenue will be in the range of $338 million to $358 million, GAAP earnings attributable to stockholders in a range from $0.27 to $0.36 per diluted share and non-GAAP earnings attributable to stockholders in a range from $0.35 to $0.44 per diluted share.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information about the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures -- which add back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory adjustments, 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.

These statements reflect the company's current expectations, and the company does not undertake to update or revise these forward-looking statements, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in this or other company statements will not be realized. Furthermore, readers are cautioned that these statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the company's dependence upon the electronics industry, the impact of the current economic crisis, the company's dependence upon a small number of customers, the unpredictability of and potential fluctuation in future revenues and operating results, increased competition from low-cost foreign manufacturers and other "Risk Factors" set forth in the company's most recent SEC filings.

1 This information provides a reconciliation of EBITDA, non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP EPS attributable to stockholders to the financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.
           
2 EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA to enhance the understanding of our operating results, and it is a key measure we use to evaluate our operations. In addition, we provide our EBITDA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find 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 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.
           
3 This information provides non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP EPS attributable to stockholders, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures -- which add back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt (before consideration of capitalized interest), asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures, inventory fair value adjustment, 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.
