TTM Technologies, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTMI), a leading global manufacturer of technology solutions including mission systems, radio frequency ("RF") components and RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, quick-turn and technologically advanced printed circuit boards ("PCB"), today reported results for the second quarter 2024, which ended on July 1, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Net sales were $605.1 million
• GAAP net income of $26.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share
• Non-GAAP net income was $40.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share
• Cash flow from operations was $41.9 million
• Repurchased 1.39 million shares of common stock for $25.1 million at an average price of $18.09 per share
• Anticipate close of the refinancing of $346.5 million of a senior secured term loan at an interest rate of SOFR + 2.25%

Second Quarter 2024 GAAP Financial Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $605.1 million, compared to $546.5 million in the second quarter of 2023.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2024 was $39.0 million compared to GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2023 of $21.4 million.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $26.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $6.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2023.

Second Quarter 2024 Non-GAAP Financial Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $40.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $33.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was $84.6 million, or 14.0% of sales compared to adjusted EBITDA of $74.7 million, or 13.7% of sales for the second quarter of 2023.

"TTM reported Non-GAAP EPS that was above the guided range and demonstrated solid year on year growth due to higher revenues and improved operational execution. Revenues were above the guided range, representing the second consecutive quarter of year on year growth due to demand strength in our Aerospace and Defense and Data Center Computing end markets, the latter being driven by generative AI," said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. "In addition, cash flow from operations was a healthy $41.9 million enabling us to repurchase stock while maintaining a solid balance sheet with a net leverage ratio of 1.4x. Finally, we refinanced our Term Loan B, reducing interest expense going forward," concluded Mr. Edman.

Refinancing of Term Loan B

We anticipate that on August 1, 2024, we will close the refinancing of $346.5 million of a senior secured term loan ("New Term Loan Facility") at an interest rate of SOFR + 2.25%, 50 basis points lower than our previous Term B Loans issued in May 2023. Upon closing, the new Term B Loans will be issued at par and maintain the same maturity of May 2030. Once issued, this debt will amend and restate TTM's previous senior secured term loan facility. We anticipate using the proceeds from the New Term Loan Facility to refinance $346.5 million of such outstanding indebtedness. We have used cash on hand to pay fees and expenses of approximately $1 million related to the refinancing activity. Once finalized, the new financing is expected to generate annual interest savings of approximately $1.7 million.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, TTM estimates that revenues will be in the range of $580 million to $620 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.37 to $0.43 per diluted share.

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 has not been provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, TTM is unable to address the probable significance of the information.

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, 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, 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
To supplement our consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, 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 reconciliations below 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.

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.}
