SANTA ANA, CA - July 29, 2004 - TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI), a leading manufacturer of time-critical and technologically advanced printed circuit boards, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2004.

Second-Quarter Results
"We achieved yet another period of expanded revenues and earnings in the second quarter of 2004," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM Technologies. "Market conditions remained favorable, and we continued to capture an increased share of the market. Additionally, the second quarter's cash flow from operations of $14.1 million represented our sixteenth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations-every quarter since we have been a public company."

Second quarter 2004 revenue increased 50 percent to $61.6 million, compared to $41.0 million for the second quarter of 2003. Sequentially, from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter, revenues increased $3.9 million, or 7 percent.

For the second quarter of 2004, quick-turn business represented 22 percent of total revenues, compared to 29 percent for the second quarter of 2003 and 24 percent for the first quarter of 2004. The percentage declined due to higher growth in our standard volume products and a lower ramp-to-volume portion of our quick-turn business, at the end of the second quarter.

Gross margins increased to 31.0 percent for the second quarter of 2004, compared to 15.7 percent for the second quarter of 2003 and 30.0 percent for the first quarter of 2004. This margin improvement reflects TTM's significant operating leverage as well as a favorable product mix, as reflected in our increased layer count,and strong operating efficiency.

TTM posted an operating profit of $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to an operating profit of $735,000 for the second quarter of 2003 and an operating profit of $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2004. The second quarter of 2004 included a pretax restructuring charge of $855,000 to write down the value of the Burlington property, which we closed two years ago and are holding for sale.

Net income for the second quarter of 2004 was $6.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2004, and net income of $432,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2003. The non-cash restructuring charge reduced second quarter 2004 after-tax earnings by $539,000, or $0.01 per share.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2004 was $13.5 million, up from $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2004.

Financial Strength
"Our balance sheet continued to strengthen in the second quarter," continued Alder. Compared to the first quarter of 2004, cash and short-term investments increased $9.9 million, to $47.1 million at the end of the second quarter. Debt declined to $6.7 million at the end of the second quarter from $7.8 million at the end of the first period. TTM's $25 million revolving credit facility remained undrawn at the end of the quarter.

Outlook
"With healthy bookings and broad-based customer input confirming that market conditions remain favorable, we expect solid revenue and earnings in the third quarter of 2004," concluded Alder. For the third quarter of 2004, TTM is estimating revenues of $62 million to $64 million and earnings of $0.18 to $0.20 per share.
