SANTA ANA, Calif., July 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), North America's largest printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the second quarter of 2009, ended June 29, 2009.

Second Quarter 2009 Financial and Operational Highlights



 * Second quarter net income on a GAAP basis increased to $5.9
   million, or $0.14 per diluted share, from $1.4 million, or $0.03
   per diluted share, in the first quarter.
 * Gross margin increased to 18.7 percent in the second quarter from
   16.3 percent in the first quarter.

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results -- GAAP

Second quarter net sales of $144.5 million decreased $4.5 million, or 3.0 percent, from first quarter net sales of $149.0 million.

Operating income for the second quarter was $12.2 million compared to operating income of $5.0 million for the first quarter. Excluding asset impairment and restructuring charges, operating income for the first quarter was $7.8 million.

Net income for the second quarter was $5.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to first quarter net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

"In this challenging economic environment, TTM delivered improved earnings in a quarter when revenue declined slightly and we generated $25.2 million in cash," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "The rate of decline in revenues decreased in the second quarter, which is a positive and encouraging sign. But, more importantly, the structural and operational improvements that we have made as well as our ongoing focus on cost control improved our margins over the prior quarter and strengthened the company for the future," Alder said.

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results -- Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and asset impairment charges, non-cash interest expense and the income tax effects related to these expenses.

Second quarter non-GAAP net income was $8.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. This compares to first quarter non-GAAP net income of $5.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

Excluding asset impairment charges, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the second quarter was $18.3 million, or 12.6 percent of net sales, compared with first quarter adjusted EBITDA of $11.1 million, or 7.5 percent of net sales.

A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is provided after the GAAP financial statements accompanying this press release.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information about the Company's non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income 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 charges and restructuring charges 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. In addition, the Company's internal reporting, including information provided to the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors, contains non-GAAP measures.

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) Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position APB
 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled
 in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)", which
 changed the method of accounting for our convertible notes. In
 addition, as required, we revised our previously reported financial
 statements to retrospectively apply this change in accounting in prior
 periods.

 (2) 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.

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

 (4) This information provides non-GAAP adjusted net income and
 non-GAAP adjusted 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 charges and restructuring charges 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.
