SANTA ANA, CA - May 2, 2007 - TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI), North America's largest printed circuit board manufacturer, today reported results for the first quarter of 2007, which ended April 2, 2007.

Financial & Operational Highlights
First Quarter 2007 First quarter net sales of $176.9 million increased 143 percent compared with the same period a year ago and 23 percent sequentially.

The Printed Circuit Group (PCG) acquisition was accretive to earnings in the first quarter 2007, which was ahead of plan.

First quarter gross profit of $34.7 million increased $7.2 million sequentially.

The Company benefited from the PCG acquisition, which diversified our customer base and broadened our end market exposure.

First Quarter 2007 Financial Results First quarter 2007 net sales increased $32.7 million, or 23 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2006, and $104.2 million, or 143 percent, to $176.9 million from the first quarter of 2006 due to the inclusion of PCG. First quarter 2007 results included a full quarter of the operations of PCG, which TTM acquired from Tyco International Ltd. on October 27, 2006, compared with two months in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Gross margins were 19.6 percent for the first quarter of 2007, compared with 19.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 27.8 percent for the first quarter of 2006. On a year-over-year basis, gross margins were affected by the inclusion of PCG's backplane assembly operations, which inherently carry a lower gross margin than printed circuit board manufacturing.

Selling and marketing expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $7.6 million, representing 4.3 percent of sales. This compares with $6.3 million, or 4.4 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $3.4 million, or 4.6 percent of sales, in the year-ago period.

General and administrative expense, including amortization of intangibles, was $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared with $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $3.9 million in the year-ago period.

TTM posted operating income of $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2006.

Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $8.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with $5.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $8.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2006.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter of 2007 was $25.5 million, compared with $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2006. (A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is provided after the GAAP financial statements below.)

PCB quick-turn business represented approximately 15 percent of net sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to 13 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 21 percent for the first quarter of 2006. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to PCG's limited quick-turn capacity.

"We are pleased with the Company's solid financial results for the first quarter of 2007, the first full quarter of contributions from the PCG acquisition," said Kent Alder, President and CEO. "Our results reflect the success of our strategy to diversify our customer base through the acquisition of PCG, which clearly differentiates us from our peers. With the exception of high-end computing and the inventory realignment by one of our key customers, we saw continued steady demand."

Commenting on TTM's integration of PCG, Alder noted, "The integration is basically complete, which is a tribute to the planning and execution of our combined management team. The Company has paid down debt ahead of schedule, which helped make the acquisition accretive to earnings in the first quarter of 2007." Alder concluded, "We are off to a solid start in 2007 and will continue to benefit from the greater size, expanded customer base, diversification, and cross-selling opportunities that we gain with the acquisition of the Printed Circuit Group."

The Company noted that financial results for the first quarter may be subject to change pending the resolution of certain accounting matters relating to the acquisition of PCG. Such changes are likely to affect the opening balance sheet of the acquired entity. Should results for the first quarter change from those established in this press release, the Company expects that revised numbers would be issued when it files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or about May 14, 2007.

Balance Sheet The $226 million purchase price for the PCG acquisition was financed with a $200 million, 6-year term loan and $26 million from cash on the balance sheet. In the first quarter of 2007, TTM paid down $50 million, or 25 percent of the debt, and funded net capital expenditures of $3.6 million. Cash and short-term investments at the end of the first quarter of 2007 totaled $45.4 million, compared with $70.7 million at year-end 2006.

Second Quarter Forecast For the second quarter of 2007, TTM estimates revenues in a range of $158 million to $167 million and earnings in a range of $0.13 to $0.19 per diluted share. "We expect satisfactory demand from most end markets, and we anticipate that the aerospace/defense sector will remain solid," said Alder. "In addition, we expect the PCG acquisition to continue to be accretive to earnings despite the closure of the Dallas, Oregon, facility on April 6, 2007, which will reduce second quarter revenues by approximately $10 million. We paid down an additional $25 million of debt in April, reducing our outstanding balance to $125 million, and we expect to continue paying down debt ahead of the required schedule in the second quarter."
