Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 included a $14.1 million foreign exchange gain, compared to a $7.0 million foreign exchange loss in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“We delivered a solid quarter with revenues and non-GAAP EPS above the high end of the guided range. Revenues reflected the fourth consecutive quarter of year on year growth due to demand strength in our Aerospace and Defense, Data Center Computing and Networking end markets, the latter two being driven by generative AI,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. “Operating margins were double digit for the second consecutive quarter and reflected continued solid execution. In addition, cash flow from operations was a healthy 13.2% of revenues enabling the company to maintain a solid balance sheet with a net leverage ratio of 1.2x,” concluded Mr. Edman.
Full Year 2024 Results
Net sales for 2024 increased to $2.4 billion from $2.2 billion in 2023, a 9.4% increase.
GAAP operating income for 2024 was $116.0 million, inclusive of a $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S Components segment. This compares to a GAAP operating income for 2023 of $42.3 million, inclusive of a $44.1 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S Components segment.
GAAP net income for 2024 was $56.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, inclusive of a $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S Components segment. This compares to a GAAP net loss for 2023 of $18.7 million, or ($0.18) per diluted share, inclusive of a $44.1 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S Components segment.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for 2024 was $178.4 million, or $1.71 per diluted share. This compares to 2023 non-GAAP net income of $139.5 million, or $1.33 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $352.5 million, or 14.4% of net sales, compared to $298.2 million, or 13.4% of net sales, for 2023.
"Our employees delivered outstanding results in 2024 for TTM. Revenue growth of 9.4% was driven by generative AI in the Data Center Computing market and continued strength in the Aerospace and Defense market. Revenue fall through, favorable product mix, and improved execution helped to grow margins and non-GAAP EPS year on year," continued Edman. “We continue to execute on our strategic priorities by growing Aerospace and Defense revenues 12% year on year, opening a new manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia, supporting customer supply chain resiliency needs and starting construction on a new ultra-HDI manufacturing facility in Syracuse, New York. Finally, in 2024, we generated $236.9 million in operating cash flow which enabled us to strengthen our balance sheet, refinance our Term Loan, and return $34.5 million of capital to our shareholders through our stock buy back program.”
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2025, TTM estimates that revenues will be in the range of $600 million to $640 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.37 to $0.43 per diluted share.
With respect to the Company’s outlook for non-GAAP net income per diluted share, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort certain items that may affect a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our expected non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes primarily the future impact of restructuring actions, impairment charges, unusual gains and losses including but not limited to unrealized foreign exchange translation, and tax adjustments. These reconciling items are highly variable and difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management’s control and could have a material impact on our future period net income per diluted share calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income per diluted share to a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP has not been provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, TTM is unable to address the probable significance of the information.
