SANTA ANA, CA - TTM Technologies has reported results for the fourth quarter ending Dec. 31, and full-year 2007.
Fourth quarter net sales of $167.5 million improved 2.7% sequentially
over third quarter net sales, primarily due to continued strength in
the PCB market. Net income was $11.8 million, an increase of 44% over
the third quarter.
Net sales for full year 2007 were $669.5 million, up 81% as compared
year-over-year to $369.3 million in 2006. Net income for the year
experienced a slight decrease at 0.85% to $34.7 million in 2007,
compared to $35 million in 2006. The company reports that the decline
was due to softer market conditions in 2007 as well as higher interest
costs.
Commenting on the company’s results, president and CEO
Kent Alder noted, “We delivered a solid performance in the fourth quarter, fueled
by strong demand for our high tech manufacturing services, as well as
from our Aerospace/Defense customers ... Fourth quarter revenue, gross
and operating margins and earnings per share all grew significantly
over the third quarter.” Alder added, “Our growth strategy is working,
and we will continue to strengthen our capabilities and enhance our
leadership position in the industry.”
For the first quarter 2008, TTM estimates revenues in a range of $168 million to $176 million.
