SANTA ANA, CA - July 26, 2006 - TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI), a
leading manufacturer of time-critical and technologically advanced printed circuit
boards, today reported results for the second quarter of 2006.
Second-Quarter Results
Second quarter 2006 net sales increased $4.0 million, or 5.5 percent, to a record
$76.7 million from $72.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 and increased $19.5
million, or 34.0 percent, from $57.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. These
favorable comparisons resulted from strong pricing and rising demand.
For the second quarter of 2006, quick-turn business represented 19.5 percent of
net sales, compared to 20.7 percent for the first quarter of 2006 and 21.8 percent
for the second quarter of 2005.
Gross margin increased to 30.0 percent for the second quarter of 2006 from 27.8
percent in the first quarter of 2006 and 19.3 percent for the second quarter of
2005. Gross margin benefited from higher prices as well as better absorption of
fixed costs due to increased production.
General and administrative expense, including amortization of intangibles, was $4.0
million in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $80,000 over the first quarter
of 2006 and $628,000 over the year-ago period. As a percent of sales, G&A expense
declined to 5.2 percent in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 5.3 percent in
the first quarter of 2006 and 5.8 percent in the second quarter of 2005. The year-over-year
increase in G&A expense was due primarily to higher incentive compensation expense
and stock-based compensation expense.
As a result of strong revenue growth and higher profitability, TTM posted operating
income of $15.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $13.0 million
for the first quarter of 2006 and $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2005.
Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $10.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted
share, compared with $8.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the first quarter
of 2006, and $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of
2005.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased
to $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $16.7 million for the first
quarter of 2006 and $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2005.
In the second quarter of 2006, TTM generated cash flow from operations of $10.8
million, enabling it to fund net capital expenditures of $2.3 million, while expanding
its cash and short-term investments to a total of $101.2 million, an increase of
$10.7 million during the quarter.
"We again posted excellent results in the second quarter of 2006 as we capitalized
on solid market conditions and continued to execute our time and technology strategy.
We are proud of the fact that we consistently increase market share and generate
superior profitability in the printed circuit board marketplace," said Kent Alder,
President and CEO of TTM Technologies.
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2006, TTM is estimating revenues in a range of $73 million
to $78 million and earnings in a range of $0.20 to $0.25 per diluted share.
"Business indicators for the printed circuit board industry, while somewhat mixed,
