We have also posted on the website an earnings presentation that we will refer to during our call. Here is Edwin.

Thank you, Sean. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 conference call.

At TTM Technologies, we are focused on designing and manufacturing complex products and solutions in two strategic directions. The first is advanced interconnect, which includes highly complex printed circuit boards, substrates, and advanced packaging.

The second strategic directions builds on our advanced interconnect technology to design and manufacture sophisticated modules, subsystems, and systems. Examples of this include our in-house developed RF modules, thermal and power management systems, edge and AI processing products, as well as complex subsystems and fully integrated mission systems.

We believe the future of electronics lies in speed to market, high reliability, and efficient technology integration. The markets in which we do business continue to demand highly complex technology solutions in an increasingly compact size and footprint.

Our strategy is to stay at the cutting edge of advanced interconnect technologies through innovation and continue to move up the value chain into complex modules and subsystems that combine sensors, actuators, RF, and photonics. We engage early with our customers to ensure alignment on product development, which helps optimize their sourcing of leading technologies and streamlines their supply chain.

From a demand standpoint, we expect healthy tailwinds due to our participation in two key megatrends currently driving economic growth: artificial intelligence and defense. As stated previously, approximately 80% of our net sales are related to these two megatrends.

Our ability to seize these organic growth opportunities requires our continued focus on technological innovation, as well as expanding our capacity across our strategic footprints. We are further investing capital and resources to take full advantage of these opportunities today and in the future through our global footprint, which offers our customers manufacturing options across 24 sites located in China, Malaysia, Canada, and the United States.

We stand well-positioned to support this growth across our end markets and are on track towards our ambition to grow revenues 15% to 20% per year for the next 3 years and to double our earnings from '25 to '27, which were goals previously shared on January 13th. In our commercial segment, we are highly focused on supporting the demand wave of artificial intelligence in the data center computing and networking end markets.

In our aerospace and defense end market, we continue to excel with our leading position in advanced interconnect products as we work to expand our product offerings in integrated electronics, including modules, subsystems, and into mission systems. We are also focused on technological opportunities arising through increased use of automation and AI applications in our medical, industrial, and instrumentation end markets, while we remain strategically positioned in high-value automotive solutions.

I now begin with an overview of our business highlights from the quarter, then will follow with a summary of our Q4 and fiscal 2025 financial performance and our Q1 and fiscal 2026 sales guidance. We will then open the call for your questions.

We delivered an excellent fourth quarter of 2025, and I would like to thank our employees for delivering these results. We achieved sales of $774.3 million, above the high end of our guided range, and non-GAAP EPS of 70 cents per diluted share, met the high end of our guided range.

Sales grew 19% year on year, reflecting continued demand strength in our data center computing and networking end markets, driven by the requirements of generative AI, while our medical, industrial, and instrumentation and aerospace and defense end markets also experienced solid to strong growth. The company's adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, a strong result compared to the 14.7% in the prior year, reflecting continued improvement in execution.

Non-GAAP EPS of 70 cents per diluted share was an all-time quarterly record high for TTM. Cash flow from operations were $63 million, or 8.1% of sales, which brings fiscal 2025 cash flow from operations to $292 million, or 10% of sales.

The aerospace and defense end market represented 41% of fourth quarter 2025 sales. Sales in the aerospace and defense market grew 5% year on year for the fourth quarter and 13% year on year for the full year of 2025.

The sales growth in the defense market as a result of positive tailwinds in defense budgets, our strong strategic program alignment, and the key bookings for ongoing programs. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we saw significant A&D bookings related to the APS-153 airborne surveillance radar, LTAMDS air defense radar, AMRAAM air dominance missile, and Javelin anti-armor missile system.

In addition, we continue to see an increase in bookings for restricted programs. A&D book-to-bill was 1.46 for the quarter and 1.04 for the full year of 2025, which increased program backlog to $1.6 billion compared to $1.56 billion a year ago.

We expect sales in Q1 2026 from this end market to represent 42% of our total sales. Sales in the data center computing end market represented 20% of fourth quarter 2025 sales.

This end market experienced 57% year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter and 36% year-on-year growth in the full year of 2025, which reflects continued demand strength from our data center customers building products for AI applications. The networking end market represented 8% of fourth quarter 2025 sales.

Year-on-year growth was 23% for the fourth quarter and 43% for the full year of 2025, as this market continues to become more correlated with the AI-related demand for more complex switching technology. Due to the AI-related correlation between data center computing and networking end markets, we will begin reporting them as a single combined end market in 2026, and consequently, we will be reporting on four end markets going forward.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the combined sales for data center and networking would have represented 36% of total sales, and we expect the first quarter 2026 to represent 37% of total sales. The medical, industrial, and instrumentation end market represented 14% of fourth quarter 2025 sales.

This end market saw year-on-year growth of 28% during the fourth quarter and 22% for the full year of 2025, as medical and industrial areas saw increased demand for AI-enabled robotics and more complex sensing applications, and the instrumentation area saw increased demand for automated testing equipment and AI applications. For the first quarter of 2026, we expect the medical, industrial, and instrumentation end market to represent 14% of total sales.

Automotive sales represented 9% for the fourth quarter 2025 sales. We will be increasingly selective in this market to focus on higher value-add products that carry margin profile consistent with our financial growth.

We expect the automotive end market to represent about 8% of total sales in the first quarter of 2026. The overall book-to-bill ratio was 1.35 for the fourth quarter of 2025, with the commercial reporting segment at 1.28, the A&D reporting segment at 1.46, and the RF&S reporting segment at 0.94.

At the end of 2025, the 90-day backlog, which is subject to cancellations, was $654.9 million compared to $502.1 million at the end of last year. Now Dan Bailey will summarize our financial performance for the fourth quarter and full year.

Dan?

Thanks, Edwin, and good afternoon, everyone. I will review our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 that were included in the press release distributed today.

Key financial highlights are also summarized in the earnings presentation posted on our website. For the fourth quarter, net sales were $774.3 million compared to $651 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The 19% year-over-year increase was due to continued strong growth in our data center computing, networking, medical, industrial, and instrumentation, and aerospace and defense end markets, partially offset by a decline in our automotive end market. For the full year, net sales were $2.9 billion compared to $2.4 billion in 2024.

The 19% increase for fiscal 2025 was driven by the same end-market dynamics that drove growth in Q4. GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $80.7 million compared to GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $9 million, inclusive of a $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S components segment.

For the full year of 2025, GAAP operating income was $264.7 million compared to $116 million in 2024, inclusive of the $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S components segment. On a GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $50.7 million, or 48 cents per diluted share.

This compares to GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $5.2 million, or 5 cents per diluted share, inclusive of a $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S components segment. For the full year of 2025, net income was $177.4 million, or $1.68 per diluted share.

This compares to $56.3 million, or 54 cents per diluted share, in 2024, inclusive of the $32.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to the RF&S components segment. The remainder of my comments will focus on our non-GAAP financial performance.

Our non-GAAP performance excludes M&A-related costs, restructuring costs, certain non-cash expense items such as amortization of intangibles, impairment of goodwill, stock compensation, gains on the sale of property, unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange, and other unusual or infrequent items. We present non-GAAP financial information to enable investors to see the company through the eyes of management and to facilitate comparisons with expectations and prior periods.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 21.7% and compares to 20.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full year of 2025, gross margin was 21.3% and compares to 20.4% in 2024.

The year-on-year improvement in both periods was due primarily to higher sales volume and favorable product mix, particularly in the data center computing, networking, and aerospace and defense end markets, as well as improved operational execution. Selling and marketing expense was $19.8 million in the fourth quarter, or 2.6% of net sales, versus $18.9 million, or 2.9% of net sales, a year ago.

For the full year of 2025, selling and marketing expense was $80.8 million, or 2.8% of net sales, compared to $76.2 million, or 3.1% of net sales, in 2024. Fourth quarter general and administrative expenses was $43.1 million, or 5.6% of net sales, compared to $40.9 million, or 6.3% of net sales, in the same quarter a year ago.

For the full year of 2025, general and administrative expense was $168.3 million, or 5.8% of net sales, compared to $156.6 million, or 6.4% of net sales, in 2024. Our operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 12.7%, a 260-basis-points improvement from 10.1% in the same quarter last year.

For the full year of 2025, operating margin was 11.7% as compared to 9.6% in 2024. The increase in both periods was due to the improvement in gross margin, as well as continued spending discipline in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Interest expense was $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $10.7 million in the same quarter last year. For the full year of 2025, interest expense was $43.2 million compared to $45.5 million in 2024.

Interest income was $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $2.1 million in the same quarter last year. For the full year of 2025, interest income was $10.4 million compared to $10.9 million in 2024.

Other non-operating income and expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled a net expense of $3 million, as compared to net income of $1.4 million in the same quarter last year. For the full year of 2025, other non-operating income and expenses totaled a net expense of $4.8 million, compared to net income of $3.5 million in 2024.

Our effective tax rate was 13.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in a tax expense of $11.4 million. This compares to an effective tax rate of 12.2% or a tax expense of $7.2 million in the same quarter last year.

For the full year of 2025, the effective tax rate was 14.5%, resulting in tax expense of $43.9 million, compared to an effective tax rate of 12.4% and tax expense of $25.2 million in 2024. Fourth quarter 2025 net income was $74.8 million, or 70 cents per diluted share.

This compares to fourth quarter 2024 net income of $51.4 million, or 49 cents per diluted share. For the full year of 2025, net income was $259 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, compared to $177.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $126.2 million, or 16.3% of net sales, compared to fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $95.7 million, or 14.7% of net sales. For the full year of 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $456.3 million, or 15.7% of net sales, compared to $351.5 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in 2024.

I will now turn to our guidance for the first quarter of 2026. We project net sales for the first quarter of 2026 to be in the range of $770 million to $810 million, and non-GAAP earnings to be in the range of 64 cents to 70 cents per diluted share.

As a reminder, we expect first quarter profitability to be typically impacted by increased operating costs, particularly labor costs, resulting from the Chinese New Year holiday. In addition, we expect our full year 2026 total net sales to increase in the range of 15% to 20% over 2025 total net sales.

The first quarter 2026 EPS forecast is based on a diluted share count of approximately 106.7 million shares, which includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock awards. We expect SG&A expense to be about 8.5% of net sales in the first quarter, and R&D expenditures to be about 1% of net sales.

We expect interest expense of approximately $10.6 million, interest income of approximately $2.2 million, and other non-operating expense of approximately $2.7 million. We estimate our effective tax rate to be between 12% and 17%.

Further, we expect to record depreciation of approximately $29.8 million, amortization of intangibles of approximately $9.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $11.5 million, and non-cash interest expense of approximately $0.5 million. Finally, I'd like to announce that we will be participating in the Citi Industrial Tech and Mobility Conference in Miami, Florida on February 19th, and the J.P.

Morgan Leveraged Finance Conference in Miami, Florida on March 3rd. That concludes our prepared remarks.

Now, I'll turn it over for questions.

Thank you. Good afternoon.

Congrats on the quarter. First question is regarding capacity, and I wonder if you could talk about where you stand with respect to adding additional data center capacity in China as needed.

Second question is just where you stand with Syracuse in terms of the ramp of the new capacity there, and then I have a follow-up question on margins. Thank you.

Yeah. Thank you very much, Jim, and good afternoon.

To answer your first question, we're making very good progress both in China and the U.S. on expanding our capacity.

Remember that we guide, let's say, our growth 15% to 20% over the coming 3 years. That capacity will do the job, let's say.

We have even more capacity to do even more depending on the demand, of course. Capacity is not the issue.

Also the supply chain is not the issue. The equipment is not the issue.

We're well on track. We were there, let's say, last week in China.

Things are going very, very, very smooth. To answer your second question in Syracuse, same thing.

We have our lead customers there. The building is up, as you know.

The equipment is in. We are basically doing the tie-ons now.

As we said 3 months ago, we are exactly on track. For the second half of this year, we will see first revenues coming from Syracuse Diamond, which is a really really nice milestone.

The question, just follow-up final question from me, is just on gross margins, the improvement you saw. You highlighted that it was volume-driven and mix.

I wonder if you could also give us a sense of what the headwind was from Penang, and was it more mix-related or volume-related in terms of A&D and data center? Thank you.

Jim, hi. This is Dan.

I'll take that one. Q4, first to to address your Penang question, Q4, at the gross profit level, still had headwind of about 180 and we had guided 160, a little bit a little bit worse than expected there on Q4, but still, as noted, improved gross margins.

That gross margin improvement was primarily mixed data center and networking, as well as we did have improved margins in A&D, those two in that order. You're right on with that.

About 180 basis points on Penang, that will improve throughout this year, and as we guided before, it'll it'll be about half of that by the end of the year.

Yeah. Maybe Jim, some additional color on Penang.

We basically doubled revenues versus last quarter, so that's going in the right direction. Also, if I look at the yield numbers, and again, we look at these yield numbers every week, yeah, on the lead vehicles, we see that that is going in the right direction.

I will be there, let's say, in one week from now. It is going really, really smooth in Penang, I really hope we do better, let's say, than the 160 basis point, cut it in half for the end of the year, what we said before.

We're making good progress, I really hope we do a lot better.

Thanks very much for that additional color.

Great. Thanks for taking my question.

Congratulations on the strong results and outlook. Edwin, a moment ago, you referred to capacity in the United States.

I suspect you're talking about Eau Claire. Could you give us any update as to what the plans are to equip that facility, and when we might see any revenue from it, any longer-term plans you can tell us about Eau Claire?

Absolutely, Will. Pleasure to do that.

I was referring to China and to the existing facilities in the U.S. I'm happy to talk about Eau Claire.

Eau Claire is an amazing site. It's the largest site, if I exclude some of the in-house activities of some of our customers.

If I look at the bigger scheme, it's the largest PCB site in the U.S. It's 750,000 square feet, and it's based on three different modules.

I was there 2 weeks ago, and it is really really big, well-maintained. The previous owner, TDK, did a really good job.

It's well-maintained. What we are going to do is the coming 8 18 months, and 2 2 years, let's say, we're going to tool up that facility.

We are discussing right now, and this is a work in progress right now, with our lead customers, both on the commercial side and the defense side. That's still a mix.

They need the capacity, I think we're in a good position there. Again, this is going hand in hand.

The thing is the facility is there. It will take us, let's say, 18 to 24 months to get first revenues, but it's going really really smooth.

By the way, Eau Claire is not built into the capacity plans we described.

Okay. It sounds like that's 18 to 24 months out, Edwin Roks (President and Chief Executive Officer):

Yeah. Eau Claire will be on top of, yeah.

Got it. Thank you.

Maybe one other. The very large book-to-bill you had this quarter, it's clearly there's a lot in defense, but even in the commercial part of the business, it was strong.

Yet, you also disclose the 90-day book-to-bill. It sounds like this is not so much sort of rush orders for the next quarter, but it's providing you greater visibility.

Any color on the orders by end market, or I guess I'm trying to ask whether that's driven by just trying to lock in capacity, or if it's a matter of providing a commitment to TTM so that you can then commit to add capacity?

Happy to do that. If you look at our visibility, that didn't change, let's say, for the business, the ongoing business, the commercial side, mostly data centers and networking.

It's still about 6 to 9 months, yeah, that's our outlook, which is a normal number. Over time, we will get let's say, on some more strategic elements of these same customers, we get some more visibility, yeah?

On the running business, it is about 6 to 9 months, and that was the case, and that's still the case. On the defense side is, of course, a different story.

There, the backlog we have, the $1.6 billion, is a big number. The pipeline is even bigger, and as this is going over multiple years.

In generally, let's say, 2 years or even 2.5 years, that's where we use these $1.6 billion for. It's still in that same order for in this case.

Great. Thank you.

Hi, this is Sahaj on for Ruben. Congrats on the quarter.

I guess I want to ask about the CapEx and how fungible that is relative to aerospace and defense and data center, and how you're thinking about that growth relative to the sort of updated long-term '27 targets you provided earlier.

We had also given some guidance before that for the data center and compute capacity that we're putting on in China, that'll be an additional incremental capital expenditure of about $200 to $300 million over the next 2 to 3 years. That's above the 4% to 5% normal capital expenditures that we have.

Frankly, going in from this year to next year, we'll probably see about almost the same level of CapEx. We'll disclose in our 10-K the expected CapEx for 2026, which is in the range of $240 to $260 million, and then that'll grow into the following year as well, so.

In terms of the doubling in earnings, are you thinking of that purely organically or inorganically? How are you thinking about M&A in this scenario?

Ruben, happy to answer that question. This is all organic growth, yeah, because there is so much demand, and we are investing in our capacity.

Based on that, let's say, and based on, let's say, the traction we make on yield and all the other operational elements, we think we can double the earnings in 2 years.

Understood. Thank you.

Thank you. Just digging in deeper into the additional data center capacity you're putting in place in China, I believe the most advanced printed circuit boards you're making now are in Dongguan with maybe 87 layers, asymmetric designs.

Are those processes being ported to these other facilities in China as well, and how long does that take?

Mike, that's a good question. Indeed.

Everything, let's say, beyond the 60 layers, yeah, we hear different numbers. The 78, not the 87, the 78 layers is one of the boards we're working on, and that's going very smooth.

I can tell you that the numbers go up. If we speak with and of course, we speak with our customers on a daily basis, the demand is high, but the number of layers is going up.

There are numbers, let's say, beyond the 100 layers already, which are required. Of course, these systems become more and more compact, that requires more layers and more complexity.

We are well-positioned, and we are happy to see that because we are well-positioned to do these multiple layers.

Mike, I'll just add that you mentioned the site, Dongguan and Guangzhou, those two sites both are where we do the artificial intelligence boards now. The capital expenditures that we are doing out there are additional equipment and facilitization and optimization of those lines in those same factories, it's not new factories.

To your question, it will very easily and efficiently be able to get that new capacity up and running.

Okay. Thanks for that clarification.

Then, a follow-up is regarding space. Historically, I think defense has been maybe 90% of your aerospace and defense business with maybe 5% space, but now there's talks of putting as many as a million data center satellites into low Earth orbit.

I would imagine those might have different properties required of the printed circuit boards going into such equipment. Is that something that you're working on now, or is that another future opportunity?

Both, Mike. It is something we're working on right now.

We have the technologies, but space is absolutely one of our strategic directions and requiring more PCBs, but not only PCBs, also integrated modules, radiation-hard, and so on and so forth. That's absolutely on our radar and absolutely in our strategic plan.

Great. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thanks. Follow-up is a cost question on copper.

Copper has traditionally been a significant expense for TTM. I think the price has been quite volatile and rising.

I believe you hedge it, but can you just sensitize us what should we expect the impact of volatile copper prices to be on the P&L over the next few quarters? All right.

Sure. Thanks for your question, Will.

We don't expect any significant impacts from it. Generally, we build the volatility into our pricing, right?

If we see it going up, we're going to add that into our pricing. We're able to pass that through to our customers.

We're quickly able to update our pricing models, right? Then to your point, we do hedge it, so that offsets and mitigates some of the risk as well.

The biggest mitigation is that we're able to price it in.

Great. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you, Cherie.

I like to close by summarizing three items. We are growing.

We delivered strong sales growth in Q4 of 19% year on year, driven by increases in our data center computing, networking, medical, industrial, and instrumentation, and aerospace and defense markets. Second, our adjusted EBITDA for the first for the fourth quarter of 16.3% reflected strong operating performance, leading to an all-time high record quarterly non-GAAP EPS of 70 cents per diluted share.

Third, we continue to generate solid cash flow from operations, which enables us to invest in our projected continued growth. In closing, I would like to thank all employees of TTM, our customers, our suppliers, and our shareholders for their continued support.

Thank you very much, and goodbye.
