TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
TTM Technologies, Inc. (the Company or TTM) is a leading global printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, focusing on quick-turn and volume production of technologically advanced PCBs and backplane assemblies as well as a global designer and manufacturer of high-frequency radio frequency (RF) and microwave/microelectronics components and assemblies. The Company provides time-to-market and volume production of advanced technology products and offers a one-stop design, engineering, and manufacturing solution to customers. This one-stop design, engineering, and manufacturing solution allows the Company to align technology developments with the diverse needs of the Company’s customers and to enable them to reduce the time required to develop new products and bring them to market.
The Company serves a diversified customer base in various markets throughout the world, including aerospace and defense, data center computing, automotive components, medical, industrial and instrumentation related products, as well as networking/communications infrastructure products. The Company’s customers include both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Due, in part, to the on-going coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, the global economy and financial markets have been volatile, and the pandemic has contributed to disruptions in global supply chains and labor shortages and high inflation, and there is a significant amount of uncertainty about the length and severity of the consequences caused by the ongoing pandemic. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal calendar with the fourth quarter ending on the Monday nearest December 31.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers , which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognizes contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment (or if adopted early as of an interim period, as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application). The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 on April 4, 2022 and any impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements will be dependent on the magnitude and nature of future acquired entities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance , which provides guidance on disclosures for transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(2) Share Repurchase Program
On February 3, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to $ 100,000 in value of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time through February 3, 2023 . The Company may repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price, and volume of open market stock repurchases. In addition, the Company adopted a trading plan, which may be amended from time to time, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate certain purchases that may be effected under the share repurchase program. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases are determined at the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares.
During the quarter ended April 4, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,373 shares of common stock for a total cost of $ 30,232 (including commissions). As of April 4, 2022, the remaining amount available to be repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program was $ 5,184 . Subsequent to April 4, 2022, the Company repurchased 374 shares of common stock for a total cost of $ 5,192 (including commissions) and there are no amounts available for repurchase as of May 4, 2022.
(3) Leases
The Company leases some of its manufacturing and assembly plants, sales offices and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases and finance leases that expire at various dates through 2049 . The majority of the Company’s lease arrangements are comprised of fixed payments, and certain leases consist of variable payments based on equipment usage. These variable payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use (ROU) asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Certain leases contain renewal provisions at the Company’s option. Most of the leases require the Company to pay for certain other costs such as property taxes and maintenance. Certain leases also contain rent escalation clauses (step rents) that require additional rental amounts in the later years of the term. Rent expense for leases with step rents is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

Remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the ABL Revolving Loans of $ 1,214 and $ 1,355 as of April 4 , 2022 and January 3, 2022, respectively, are included in other non-current assets and are amortized to interest expense over the duration of the ABL Revolving Loans using the straight-line method of amortization.
As of April 4 , 2022 , the remaining weighted average amortization period for all unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was 5.1 years.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the quarter ended March 29, 2021, the Company recognized losses of $ 15,217 associated with the premium paid on extinguishment of debt and the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs as a result of the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance of the Senior Notes due 2025.
(9) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by tax rates in China and Hong Kong, the U.S. federal income tax rate, apportioned state income tax rates, generation of credits and deductions available to the Company as well as changes in valuation allowances and certain non-deductible items. Additionally, no tax benefit was recorded on the losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions as a result of corresponding increases in the valuation allowances in these jurisdictions.
During the quarter ended April 4, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by a net discrete benefit of $ 2,047 . This is mainly related to the approval of the Company’s renewal application for High and New Tax Enterprise status for two of the Company’s manufacturing subsidiaries in China, and windfall tax benefit of the stock-based compensation releases, which are offset by accrued interest expense on existing uncertain tax positions.
The Company has various foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company expects its earnings attributable to most foreign subsidiaries may be repatriated back to the U.S. and so a deferred tax liability has been recorded for foreign withholding and the estimated federal/state tax impact. For those other companies with earnings currently being reinvested outside of the U.S., no deferred tax liabilities on undistributed earnings are recorded.
(10) Financial Instruments
Derivatives
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company’s business is exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates on certain LIBOR-based variable rate debt. Increases in interest rates would increase interest expenses relating to the outstanding variable rate borrowings and increase the cost of debt. Fluctuations in interest rates can also lead to significant fluctuations in the fair value of the debt obligations.
On May 15, 2018, the Company entered into a four-year pay-fixed, receive floating (1-month LIBOR), interest rate swap arrangement with a notional amount of $ 400,000 for the period beginning June 1, 2018 and ending on June 1, 2022 . Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.84 % against a portion of its LIBOR-based debt and receives floating 1-month LIBOR during the swap period.
At inception, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the interest rate swap was zero . As of April 4, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a liability in the amount of $ 1,385 and included as a component of other current liabilities. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. No ineffectiveness was recognized for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021. The interest rate swap increased interest expense by $ 2,706 and $ 2,740 for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021, respectively.
14
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may at times purchase forward exchange contracts to manage their foreign currency risks in relation to certain purchases of machinery denominated in foreign currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts as of April 4, 2022 was approximately $ 1,625 (Euro (EUR) 1.4 million). There were no foreign exchange contracts as of January 3, 2022.
Commodity Price Risk Management
The Company uses various raw materials in the manufacturing of PCBs. In particular, the Company has been experiencing increasing prices and lead times of copper clad laminates (CCLs), a key raw material for the manufacture of PCBs. CCLs are made from epoxy resin, glass cloth and copper foil, all of which are seeing limited supply and resulting increased prices. The Company only buys a small amount of copper directly. However, copper is a major driver of laminate cost. As such, the Company enters into commodity contracts to hedge copper as a proxy for hedging laminate. As of April 4, 2022, the Company has commodity contracts with a notional quantity of (i) 0.5 metric tonnes for the period beginning April 5, 2022 and ending on June 29, 2022 , (ii) 0.6 metric tonnes for the period beginning June 30, 2022 and ending on October 3, 2022 , (iii) 0.7 metric tonnes for the period beginning October 4, 2022 and ending on January 3, 2023 , and (iv) 0.7 metric tonnes for the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on March 31, 2023 . As of April 4, 2022, the fair value of the commodity contracts was recorded as an asset in the amount of $ 1,699 and included as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The changes in the fair value of these commodity contracts are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The commodity contracts decreased cost of goods sold by $ 1,402 for the quarter ended April 4, 2022. These commodity contracts are not designated as accounting hedges.

(12) Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to its customers. Some customers to whom the Company extends credit are located outside the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, does not require collateral, and considers the credit risk profile of the entity from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk.
The Company’s customers include both OEMs and EMS companies. The Company’s OEM customers often direct a significant portion of their purchases through EMS companies. While the Company’s customers include both OEM and EMS providers, the Company measures customer concentration based on OEM companies, as they are the ultimate end customers.
For the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021, one customer accounted for approximately 10 % and 13 % of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
(13) Fair Value Measures
The Company measures at fair value its financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of April 4, 2022 and January 3, 2022 were as follows:

The fair value of the derivative instruments was determined using pricing models developed based on the LIBOR swap rate, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable market data, including quoted market prices, as appropriate using Level 2 inputs. The values were adjusted to reflect non-performance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, as necessary.
The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices or discounting the debt over its life using current market rates for similar debt as of April 4, 2022 and January 3, 2022, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
As of April 4, 2022 and January 3, 2022, the Company’s other financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, and contract liabilities. Due to short-term maturities, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of April 4, 2022 consisted of $ 332,757 held in the U.S., with the remaining $ 186,322 held by foreign subsidiaries.
16
The majority of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories, and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or are tested at least annually in the case of goodwill) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, based upon a comparison of the non-financial instrument’s fair value to its carrying value, an impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value .
(14) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal matters, which it considers normal for its business activities. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any reasonably possible loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period. The Company has accrued amounts for its loss contingencies which are probable and estimable as of April 4, 2022 and January 3, 2022. However, these amounts are not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.
(15) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Performance-based restricted stock units (PRUs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock options to purchase 975 shares of common stock for the quarter ended April 4, 2022 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The PRUs were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the performance conditions had not been met at April 4, 2022, and for RSUs and stock options, the options’ exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method was greater than the average market price of common stock during the applicable quarter and, as a result, the impact would be anti-dilutive.
For the quarter ended March 29, 2021, potential shares of common stock, consisting of stock options to purchase approximately 60 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $ 11.83 to $ 16.60 per share, 2,897 RSUs, and 289 PRUs were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during that quarter and as a result, the impact would be anti-dilutive.
Outstanding warrants for the quarter ended March 29, 2021 to purchase common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the strike price of the warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock was greater than the average market price of common shares during the applicable quarter and because the Company incurred a net loss during that quarter, and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.
