SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), North America's largest printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the third quarter of 2009, ended September 28, 2009.
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results - GAAP
Third quarter net sales of $139.1 million decreased $5.4 million, or 3.7 percent, from second quarter net sales of $144.5 million. Net loss for the third quarter was $4.9 million, or $0.11 per basic share, compared to second quarter net income of $5.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. Excluding non-recurring charges, net income for the third quarter was $5.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.
During the third quarter, TTM recorded non-recurring charges totaling $17.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, primarily related to the closure of the Company's Hayward, California and Los Angeles, California facilities announced on September 1, 2009 as well as further impairment of its Dallas, Oregon building.
"We are encouraged by the improvement in demand we are experiencing in our PCB business," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "For the first time in five quarters, PCB sales increased due to growth with our commercial customers."
Third quarter gross margin of 17.4 percent declined from second quarter gross margin of 18.7 percent. Excluding $2.6 million of inventory write-down costs related to the facility closures, gross margin was 19.3 percent.
Operating loss for the third quarter was $5.4 million compared to operating income of $12.2 million for the second quarter. Excluding non-recurring charges, operating income for the third quarter was $11.7 million.
"TTM continues to perform solidly in all key financial metrics," Alder said. "With the restructuring of our North American footprint, we have positioned the company to better serve customers, improve operating efficiencies and take advantage of improving market conditions."
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results - Non-GAAP
Non-GAAP results for the third quarter exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures and other costs and the income tax effects related to these expenses.
Third quarter non-GAAP net income was $7.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. This compares to second quarter non-GAAP net income of $8.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.
Excluding asset impairment charges, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter was $10.7 million, or 7.7 percent of net sales, compared with second quarter EBITDA of $18.3 million, or 12.6 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.

For the PCB Manufacturing segment, third quarter net sales (before inter-company sales) were $123.2 million, compared with $122.6 million in the second quarter.

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 and restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures and other 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. 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.

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) On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative
guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in
cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) by
separately accounting for the liability and equity components in
a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt
borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent
periods. The Company has retrospectively applied this method of
accounting back to the issuance date of convertible debt, which
for the Company was May 2008.
(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 a 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 and
restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility
closures and other 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.
(5) Costs related to evaluating strategic opportunities and
miscellaneous facility closure costs.
"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.
