SANTA ANA, CA - May 2, 2005 - TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI), a leading manufacturer of time-critical and technologically advanced printed circuit boards, today reported results for the first quarter of 2005.

First-Quarter Results
First quarter 2005 net sales increased 2 percent to $58.9 million, compared to $57.7 million for the first quarter of 2004. Sequentially, from the fourth quarter of 2004, net sales were roughly unchanged.

For the first quarter of 2005, quick-turn business represented 21 percent of net sales, compared to 21 percent for the first quarter of 2004 and 21 percent for the fourth quarter of 2004. While quick-turn volume increased, pricing declined.

Gross margin decreased to 23.0 percent for the first quarter of 2005, compared to 30.0 percent for the first quarter of 2004 and 24.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2004. Start-up costs related to the Chippewa Falls expansion in the first quarter of 2005, and pricing pressure affected gross margins.

General and administrative expenses decreased from the year-ago period, but increased sequentially, primarily due to audit fees related to the implementation of Sarbanes Oxley Act Section 404.

TTM posted an operating profit of $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2005, down from $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2004 and $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. The decline in gross profit, as described above, was the primary cause.

Net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $4.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $6.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2004, and $6.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2004. The fourth quarter of 2004 included a $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, benefit from the reduction of the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter of 2005 was $9.7 million, compared with $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2004 and $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, TTM generated cash flow from operations of $5.5 million, enabling it to fund net capital expenditures of $2.7 million, while expanding its cash and short-term investments to a total of $61.9 million.

"Market demand was relatively stable in the first quarter of 2005, albeit with slightly greater than expected pricing pressure," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM Technologies. "Internally, we had two factors that temporarily increased costs, which were the start-up of our expansion at the Chippewa Falls facility and Sarbanes Oxley compliance. The expansion of Chippewa Falls is now running smoothly and has added capacity needed to satisfy customer demand. In addition, Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs should decline in the second quarter."

Outlook
For the second quarter of 2005, TTM is estimating revenues of $58 million to $61 million and earnings of $0.10 to $0.12 per diluted share.
