TTM TECHNOLOGIES INC (TTMI)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 2025 was a strong beat: revenue $730.6M (+21% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS $0.58 both exceeded the high end of guidance; GAAP EPS was $0.40 .
  • Strength was broad—record quarterly revenues in Aerospace & Defense and Data Center Computing; non-GAAP operating margin reached 11.1% (+210 bps YoY) and Adjusted EBITDA was $109.7M (15.0% margin) .
  • Q3 2025 guidance: revenue $690–$730M and non-GAAP EPS $0.57–$0.63; CFO detailed operating assumptions (SG&A ~8.9% of sales, R&D ~1%, interest expense ~$10.5M, tax rate 13–17%, ~104M diluted shares) .
  • Key catalysts: continued AI-driven demand (data center and networking), robust A&D backlog (~$1.46B), new US capacity option (Eau Claire, WI), and CEO succession plan announced; near-term investor focus on Penang ramp pace and margin drag .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Record non-GAAP EPS and above-range revenue: “revenues and non-GAAP EPS above the high end of the guided range…non-GAAP EPS at a quarterly record high” .
  • AI demand tailwinds: “increased demand in…Data Center Computing and Networking…driven by the requirements of generative AI” .
  • Strategic footprint expansion and resilience: acquisition of Eau Claire, WI facility and land rights in Penang to accelerate US capacity and Southeast Asia diversification .

What Went Wrong

  • Penang ramp slower than planned, increasing margin drag: management now expects break-even later; operating margin drag from Penang ~210 bps, worse by ~30 bps YoY .
  • Automotive softness persisted: sales - YoY decline due to inventory adjustments and soft demand at several customers .
  • A&D book-to-bill <1 in Q2 (0.69) on timing (not demand), which can create near-term visibility concerns despite healthy multi-year backlog .

Management Commentary

  • “Revenue grew 21% year-on-year due to demand strength from our aerospace and defense, data center computing, networking, and medical industrial and instrumentation end markets…Non-GAAP EPS of $0.58 was a quarterly record…cash flow from operations was a solid 13.4% of revenues” .
  • “We acquired a facility in Wisconsin and land rights in Penang as we continue to support the regional diversification of our customers’ PCB supply chains” .
  • On A&D demand: “We maintain a solid A&D program backlog of approximately $1.46 billion…bookings for the Sabre and LTAMDS related programs” .
  • On Penang: “Slower-than-expected revenue ramp…$5.2 million in Q2; break-even $30–$35 million per quarter not yet reached…focus on yields and qualifications (3 of 5 anchor customers qualified)” .
  • On US cost parity: “Pricing in Eau Claire likely at least 50% higher than China; will require long-term customer commitments” .

Q&A Highlights

  • Eau Claire readiness: modular 750k sq ft facility can be phased by modules; move with customer commitments; primary interest from data center space .
  • Penang ramp risk: slower ramp reflects qualifications and yield optimization; expected linear increases, but break-even delayed; margin drag worsened to ~210 bps .
  • China capacity: added ~20% for data center; qualifying Guangzhou; capabilities for asymmetric PCB designs expanding .
  • Segments clarity: Commercial largely PCBs; A&D ~50% PCBs and balance integrated electronics (mission systems, RF/microwave, assemblies) .
  • Mix vs pricing: high ASP mix a larger driver of margin expansion vs unit growth .
  • M&A pipeline: near-term pause; expect more opportunities (microelectronics, RF/microwave) over next 12–18 months .
  • Cost competitiveness US: US capacity structurally higher cost; customer appetite exists for some domestic supply; pricing models under development .

Estimates Context

  • Q2 2025 beat: Revenue $730.6M vs $668.4M consensus; Primary EPS $0.58 vs $0.523; EBITDA $109.7M vs $99.0M. The magnitude of beat was driven by stronger A&D, Data Center Computing, Networking, and MII, plus higher ASP mix and execution . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
  • Prior periods: Q1 2025 revenue $648.7M vs $621.4M consensus; Primary EPS $0.50 vs $0.395; Q4 2024 revenue $651.0M vs $630.1M; Primary EPS $0.60 vs $0.473 (note: FX-influenced quarter) . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • TTMI’s AI infrastructure exposure is an increasingly material growth driver; management guides Data Center Computing to 24% of Q3 sales and sees strong networking demand tied to AI switches .
  • A&D remains a resilient anchor (45% of Q2 sales) with ~$1.46B backlog and program wins; NATO and US budget tailwinds support multi-year visibility .
  • Margin trajectory is positive (non-GAAP operating margin 11.1%), aided by mix and execution; watch Penang ramp and its ~210 bps drag near-term .
  • Strategic capacity optionality: Eau Claire enables faster US scale but requires customer commitment to offset higher costs; Syracuse targets ultra-HDI with volume in 2H26 .
  • Q3 guide implies sustained strength despite Penang start-up costs; consensus likely to adjust higher on the back of repeated beats and AI momentum. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
  • CEO succession introduces headline risk but Board expects conclusion by year-end; narrative likely focused on continuity of AI/A&D strategy and footprint expansion .
  • Near-term trading: positive skew on AI and A&D prints; watch for updates on customer commitments for US capacity and Penang qualifications, plus any tariff-related macro signals .
