Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $556.8 million, compared to $513.6 million from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2020.
GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2021 was $32.2 million. This compares to GAAP operating loss of $40.3 million from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2020, inclusive of a goodwill impairment charge of $69.2 million.
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $21.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $61.5 million, or ($0.58) per diluted share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2020.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $36.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $26.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2021 was $68.6 million, or 12.3 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $67.2 million, or 13.1 percent of net sales, from continuing operations, in the third quarter of 2020.
“In the third quarter, TTM delivered revenue and non-GAAP earnings within the previously guided range despite labor and production inefficiencies in North America and tight supply conditions globally for certain raw materials. Results were led by strong year on year growth from the automotive and data center computing end markets and strength from the medical, industrial and instrumentation end market,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM.
Business Outlook
In the fourth quarter, further increases in labor and raw materials costs, along with potential power rationing in China, are expected to negatively affect profitability. As a result, TTM estimates that revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $530 million to $570 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.28 to $0.34 per diluted share.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.
Separating Fact from Fear on the FCC ‘China Lab Ban’
05/14/2026 | Jan Pedersen, NCAB GroupRecent news headlines have suggested that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has “banned all testing laboratories in China and Hong Kong.” Understandably, this has created concerns around PCB testing, material approvals, UL listings, and the continued use of established test laboratories in Asia. The good news is that for most PCB, PCB material, and PCBA testing, nothing has changed. Let’s separate fact from fear.
