TTM Technologies, Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTMI), a leading global printed circuit board (“PCB”) and radio frequency (“RF”) components and assemblies manufacturer, today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, which ended on June 28, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

Net sales were $567.4 million
GAAP net income of $28.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share
Non-GAAP net income was $40.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share
Cash flow from operations was $56.9 million, or 10% of revenues

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $567.4 million, compared to $570.3 million from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2021 was $40.9 million. This compares to GAAP operating income of $23.0 million from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $28.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $40.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $33.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 was $75.6 million, or 13.3 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $76.8 million, or 13.5 percent of net sales, from continuing operations, in the second quarter of 2020.

“In the second quarter, TTM delivered revenue and non-GAAP earnings above the high end of the previously guided range despite significant challenges from COVID-19 and tight supply conditions for certain raw materials. The solid performance was driven by better than expected sales in our commercial end markets led by strong year on year growth from the automotive and data center computing end markets,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. “Additionally, strict financial discipline drove strong and consistent operating cash flow in the quarter. These achievements reflect the strategic changes made to strengthen TTM, particularly the divestiture of the volatile mobility business which historically caused weak seasonal results in the first half of the year.”

Business Outlook
The stronger than expected revenues in Q2 pulled forward some demand from Q3 and the tight raw material supply conditions will have a greater impact in our third quarter. As a result, TTM estimates that revenue for the third quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $530 million to $570 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.31 to $0.37 per diluted share.

Forward-Looking Statements
The preliminary financial results included in this press release represent the most current information available to management. The company’s actual results when disclosed in its Form 10-Q may differ from these preliminary results as a result of the completion of the company’s financial closing procedures; final adjustments; completion of the review by the company’s independent registered accounting firm; and other developments that may arise between now and the disclosure of the final results. This release contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or performance. TTM cautions you that such statements are simply predictions and actual events or results may differ materially. These statements reflect TTM's current expectations, and TTM 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 TTM statements will not be realized. Further, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond TTM'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 impact of COVID-19, general market and economic conditions, including interest rates, currency exchange rates and consumer spending, demand for TTM's products, market pressures on prices of TTM's products and raw materials used in TTM’s products, warranty claims, changes in product mix, contemplated significant capital expenditures and related financing requirements, TTM's dependence upon a small number of customers and other factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's public reports filed with the SEC.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes information about TTM’s adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. TTM presents non-GAAP financial information to enable investors to see TTM through the eyes of management and to provide better insight into TTM’s ongoing financial performance.

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 to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. TTM 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.

With respect to the Company’s outlook for non-GAAP net income per diluted share, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort certain items that may affect a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our expected non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes primarily the future impact of restructuring actions, impairment charges, unusual gains and losses, and tax adjustments. These reconciling items are highly variable and difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management’s control and could have a material impact on our future period net income per diluted share calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income per diluted share to a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and has not been provided.

	¹ Other represents the SH E-MS and SZ results.

	² This information provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA to the financial information in our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

	³ Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain on commodity hedge, restructuring and other charges.

	⁴ Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, unrealized gain on commodity hedge, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges.

	⁵ This information provides non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures -- which add back amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt (before consideration of capitalized interest), gain on sale of assets, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gain on commodity hedge, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges as well as the associated tax impact of these charges and discrete tax items -- provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.

	⁶ Income tax adjustments reflect the difference between income taxes based on a non-GAAP tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate.

	⁷ Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gain on commodity hedge, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges. We present adjusted 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 adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find 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, 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.

	⁸ Free Cash Flow in 2020 has been restated to exclude the Mobility business which was sold in Q2 of 2020.
