TTM outperformed revenue expectations due to better sales across all end markets,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. “Additionally, strict financial discipline led to solid operating cash flow in the quarter, driving our net debt leverage ratio down to 1.4x and enabling repayment of our convertible bond.”

"Despite the challenges from COVID-19 and the strengthening Chinese currency, we delivered solid results in 2020 and made progress on our strategy of diversification, differentiation and discipline. Specifically, we exited the volatile consumer and lower margin businesses through the sale of the Mobility business unit and the restructuring of the E-MS business unit," continued Edman. “In addition, we generated significant cash flow due to our operational and financial discipline. This cash, along with the proceeds from the Mobility sale, allowed us to repay $400 million of our Term Loan and our convertible bonds reducing our leverage and putting TTM in a strong position for the future.”
Business Outlook
TTM estimates that revenue for the first quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $490 million to $530 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.19 to $0.25 per diluted share.
