TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2006 RESULTS;
STRONG PERFORMANCE CONTINUES, AND OUTLOOK REMAINS POSITIVE

SANTA ANA, CA — April 26, 2006 — TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI), a leading manufacturer of time-critical and technologically advanced printed circuit boards, today reported results for the first quarter of 2006.

First-Quarter Results

First quarter 2006 net sales increased $9.6 million, or 15 percent, to a record $72.7 million from $63.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and increased $13.8 million, or 23 percent, from $58.9 million in the first quarter of 2005. The sequential increase, from the fourth quarter of 2005, resulted primarily from improved demand as well as favorable quick-turn pricing trends.

For the first quarter of 2006, quick-turn business represented 21 percent of net sales, compared to 22 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 21 percent for the first quarter of 2005.

Gross margin increased to 27.8 percent for the first quarter of 2006 from 23.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 23.0 percent for the first quarter of 2005. Gross margin benefited from higher prices as well as better absorption of fixed costs due to increased production.

General and administrative expense, including amortization of intangibles, was $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase from $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $3.7 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expense.

As a result of strong revenue growth and higher profitability, TTM posted operating income of $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2006, up from $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2005.

Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $8.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $19.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2005, and $4.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a $12.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, benefit from a reduction of the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased to $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2005.

In the first quarter of 2006, TTM generated cash flow from operations of $9.8 million, enabling it to fund net capital expenditures of $3.3 million while expanding its cash and

short-term investments to a total of $90.5 million, an increase of $8.1 million from year-end 2005 levels.

“TTM continues to capitalize on strong industry conditions with solid demand across multiple market segments, especially in networking and communications,” said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM Technologies. “We significantly increased production at each of our facilities during the first quarter. We’re particularly pleased with TTM’s industry-leading earnings, strong cash flow and margin expansion.”

Outlook

For the second quarter of 2006, TTM is estimating further gains, with revenues in a range of $73 million to $77 million and earnings in a range of $0.20 to $0.24 per diluted share.

* This information provides a reconciliation of EBITA/EBITDA to the financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.

“EBITDA” means earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. “EBITA” means earnings before interest expense, income taxes and amortization. We present EBITDA / EBITA to enhance the understanding of our operating results. EBITDA / EBITA is a key measure we use to evaluate our operations. In addition, we provide our EBITDA / EBITA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find EBITDA / EBITA 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, EBITDA / EBITA 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.
