Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)

(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

TTM Technologies, Inc. (the Company or TTM) is a leading global provider of time-critical and technologically complex printed circuit board (PCB) products and backplane assemblies (PCBs populated with electronic components), which serve as the foundation of sophisticated electronic products. The Company provides advanced technology products and offers a one-stop manufacturing solution to customers from engineering support to prototype development through final volume production. The Company serves a diversified customer base in various markets throughout the world, including manufacturers of networking/communications infrastructure products, touch screen tablets and smartphones. The Company also serves aerospace and defense, high-end computing, and industrial/medical industries. The Company’s customers include both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company uses a 13-week fiscal quarter accounting period with the fourth quarter ending on the Monday nearest December 31.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an update that would require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendment on January 1, 2014, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

(2) Acquisition of Viasystems Group, Inc.

On September 21, 2014, TTM, Viasystems Group, Inc. (Viasystems), and Vector Acquisition Corp. (Merger Sub) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) under which TTM will acquire all outstanding shares of Viasystems (the Merger) for a combined consideration of $11.33 in cash and 0.706 shares of TTM common stock per outstanding share of Viasystems common stock, which based on the closing market price on September 19, 2014 was valued at $16.46 per share of Viasystems common stock, or approximately $368 million. The total enterprise value of the transaction, including the assumption of debt, is approximately $927 million which was based on the closing market price on September 19, 2014 and is subject to change prior to the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement provides that Viasystems is entitled to receive a reverse breakup fee of $40 million from TTM in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated following specific conditions.

TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

On September 30, 2014, in conjunction with TTM’s announcement of the execution of a definitive agreement with Viasystems, TTM was named in a class action complaint filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. On October 13, 2014, TTM was named in a similar class action complaint filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Both suits were filed on behalf of the public stockholders of Viasystems against Viasystems’ board of directors for breaches of fiduciary duties arising out of their attempt to sell Viasystems to TTM, and against TTM for aiding and abetting such breaches of fiduciary duties. TTM cannot assess the potential outcomes of these class action complaints at this time. See Note 12 to these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Bank fees and legal and accounting costs associated with the acquisition of Viasystems of $1,632 for the quarter ended September 29, 2014 have been expensed and recorded as general and administrative expense in the consolidated condensed statement of operations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015.

(3) Inventories

Inventories as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013 consist of the following:

	As of
	September 29, 2014		December 30, 2013
	(In thousands)
Inventories:
Raw materials	$	45,733	$	42,533

Finished goods		44,585		47,274
	$	151,638	$	138,145

(4) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In conjunction with the closure of its Suzhou, China manufacturing facility in 2013, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets, primarily consisting of held for sale machinery and equipment, were impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets in the amount of $10,782 for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013 and reclassified such assets to assets held for sale, which were included in other current assets in the December 30, 2013 consolidated condensed balance sheet.

During the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge for additional assets, related to the closure of the Suzhou, China manufacturing facility, which were originally designated to be transferred to other facilities in China as well as the disposal of a substantial portion of the assets held for sale. As a result, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge in the amount of $1,845 during the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, as the carrying value of the assets was greater than the market value at the date of disposal.

(5) Long-term Debt and Letters of Credit

The following table summarizes the long-term debt of the Company as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013:

	Average Effective Interest Rate as of September 29, 2014	September 29, 2014			Average Effective Interest Rate as of December 30, 2013	December 30, 2013

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

Credit Agreement

In 2012, the Company became a party to a facility agreement (Credit Agreement) consisting of a $370,000 senior secured term loan (Term Loan), a $90,000 senior secured revolving loan (Revolving Loan), and a secured $80,000 letters of credit facility (Letters of Credit Facility). The Term Loan and Letters of Credit Facility will mature on September 14, 2016. The Revolving Loan will mature on March 14, 2016. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment and is senior to all other debt, including the convertible senior notes. See Note 6 to these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the full and timely payment of all Credit Agreement related obligations of its Asia Pacific operating segment.

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs included in other non-current assets was $1,323 and $1,937, respectively, and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Company’s Credit Agreement using the effective interest rate method. At September 29, 2014, the remaining amortization period for the unamortized debt issuance costs was 1.7 years.

The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on any unused portion of the loan and letters of credit facility granted under the Credit Agreement. The Company incurred commitment fees related to unused borrowing availability of $155 and $129 for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and $439 and $320 for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 29, 2014, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement was $273,800, of which $96,200 is due for repayment through September 2015 and is included as short-term debt, with the remaining $177,600 included as long-term debt. None of the Revolving Loan was outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2014. Available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan was $90,000 at September 29, 2014.

Other Credit Facility

Additionally, the Company is party to a revolving loan credit facility with a lender in the People’s Republic of China (China). Under this arrangement, the lender has made available to the Company approximately $47,300 in unsecured borrowing with all terms of the borrowing to be negotiated at the time the revolver is drawn upon. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolver and this arrangement expires in December 2014. As of September 29, 2014, the revolver had not been drawn upon.

Letters of Credit

The Company has an $80,000 Letters of Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement, as mentioned above. As of September 29, 2014, letters of credit in the amount of $43,234 were outstanding under this Credit Agreement. The Company has other standby letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $3,894, which expire between December 31, 2014 and February 28, 2015.

(6) Convertible Senior Notes

Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

In December 2013, the Company issued 1.75% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2020, in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $220,000. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to the Company’s future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

In January 2014, the Company closed the sale of an additional $30,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (Additional Notes). The Additional Notes were sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option granted by the Company in the underwriting agreement related to the offer and sale of $220,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020.

In connection with the offering of the Additional Notes, the Company entered into additional convertible note hedge and warrant transactions (Additional Call Spread Transaction) with respect to shares of its common stock. The additional convertible note hedge, which cost an aggregate $7,953 and was recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, consists of the Company’s option to purchase up to 3,100 common stock shares at a price of $9.64 per share and will expire upon the maturity of the notes. Additionally, the Company sold warrants to purchase 3,100 shares of its common stock at a price of $14.26 per share. The warrants expire ratably from March 2021 through January 2022. The proceeds from the sale of warrants of $4,053 was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The 2020 Additional Call Spread Transaction has no effect on the terms of the convertible senior notes due 2020 and reduces potential dilution by effectively increasing the conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2020 to $14.26 per share of the Company’s common stock.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

In May 2008, the Company issued 3.25% convertible senior notes due May 15, 2015, in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $175,000. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to the Company’s future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

In January 2014, the Company repurchased $6,514 of notes at approximately 103.4% of their principal amount. The repurchase of the convertible senior notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and accordingly, the Company recognized a $506 loss primarily associated with the premium paid to repurchase the convertible senior notes and the recognition of certain remaining unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion, including the effect of a fundamental change and subject to Other Conversion Rate Adjustments, would be 2,587.

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the following summarizes the liability and equity components of the convertible senior notes:

Convertible senior notes due 2015		36		177		104		519
	$	214	$	177	$	635	$	519

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, remaining unamortized debt issuance costs included in other non-current assets were $5,580 and $5,399, respectively. The debt issuance costs and debt discount are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible senior notes using the effective interest rate method. At September 29, 2014, the remaining weighted average amortization period for the unamortized senior convertible note discount and debt issuance costs was 6.1 years.

For the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the 2020 convertible senior notes and the 2015 convertible senior notes is based on an effective interest rate of 6.48% and 8.37%, respectively. For the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013, the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the 2015 convertible senior notes is based on an effective interest rate of 8.37%.

(7) Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $379 and $3,365 for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an income tax benefit of $968 for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and a provision for income taxes of $13,494 for the three quarters ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s provision for income taxes reflects the benefits of earnings from the Company’s operations in lower-tax jurisdictions in China, the apportioned state income tax rates, generation of other credits and deductions, and certain non-deductible items.

During the quarter ended September 29, 2014, the Company’s provision for income taxes was impacted by losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recorded as a result of full valuation allowances. In addition, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits resulting from the research and development deduction at a Chinese subsidiary within the Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment and changes in estimates resulting from the completion of the Company’s 2013 federal income tax return. During the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the Company’s provision for income taxes was further impacted by a discrete tax benefit resulting from the retroactive approval of the high technology enterprise status for certain Chinese subsidiaries within the Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013 was impacted by the impairment of property, plant and equipment related to a plant closure in China which resulted in no related tax benefit. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2013, a state law was enacted that significantly reduced the carryforward period of certain state tax credits. As a result, a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $3.3 million generated a discrete tax item for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013.

Certain foreign losses generated are not more than likely to be realizable, and thus, no income tax benefit has been recognized on these losses. The Company’s foreign earnings attributable to the Asia Pacific operating segment will be permanently reinvested in such foreign jurisdictions and, therefore, no deferred tax liabilities for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings are recorded.

(8) Financial Instruments

Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce the volatility of purchases and other obligations generated in currencies other than the functional currencies. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may at times purchase forward exchange contracts to manage their foreign currency risks in relation to certain purchases of machinery denominated in foreign currencies other than the Company’s foreign functional currency. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013 was approximately $30,379 and $47,000, respectively. The Company has designated certain of these foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges.

The fair values of derivative instruments in the consolidated condensed balance sheet are as follows:

Convertible senior notes due 2020		195,234		243,725		167,167		237,050

The fair value of available for sale securities was determined using quoted market prices for the securities on an active exchange.

The fair value of the derivative instruments was determined using pricing models developed based on the LIBOR swap rate, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable market data, including quoted market prices, as appropriate. The values were adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of the counterparty and the Company, as necessary.

The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated based on discounting the debt over its life using current market rates for similar debt as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013.

The fair value of the convertible senior notes was estimated based on quoted market prices of the securities on an active exchange, which are considered Level 1 inputs.

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the Company’s other financial instruments also included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and equipment payables. Due to short-term maturities, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value.

(10) Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to its customers, which are concentrated primarily in the computer, cellular phone, networking and communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Most are located outside the United States, with the exception of aerospace and defense industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the entity from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk.

The Company’s customers include both OEM and EMS companies. The Company’s OEM customers often direct a significant portion of their purchases through EMS companies. While the Company’s customers include both OEM and EMS providers, the Company measures customer concentration based on OEM companies, as they are the ultimate end customers.

For each of the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 23% of the Company’s net sales. For the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 16% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales.

(11) Fair Value Measures

The Company measures at fair value its financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.

At September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the following financial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the type of inputs shown:

	September 29, 2014		Fair Value Measurements Using:
			Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
	(In thousands)
Money market funds	$	129,012	$	129,012	$	—		—

Available for sale securities		148		148		—		—
Foreign exchange derivative assets		657		—		657		—
Foreign exchange derivative liabilities		2,938		—		2,938		—

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for the quarter or three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal matters, which it considers normal for its business activities. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any reasonably possible or probable loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period. The Company has accrued amounts for its loss contingencies which are probable and estimable at September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013. However, these amounts are not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.

Class Action Complaints related to Viasystems Acquisition

Since the public announcement on September 22, 2014 of the execution of the Merger Agreement, Viasystems, TTM, Merger Sub, and the members of the Viasystems Board have been named as defendants in two putative class action complaints challenging the Merger. The first lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri on September 30, 2014 (the Missouri Lawsuit), and the second lawsuit, filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2014 (the Delaware Lawsuit and, together with the Missouri Lawsuit, the Lawsuits), generally allege that the Merger fails to properly value Viasystems, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in approving the Merger Agreement, and that those breaches were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems.

The Delaware Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the Viasystems Board breached its fiduciary duties by: (a) agreeing to the Merger for grossly inadequate consideration, (b) agreeing to lock up the Merger with deal protection devices that prevent other bidders from making a successful competing offer for Viasystems, and (c) participating in a transaction where the loyalties of the Viasystems Board and management are divided; (2) the voting agreements entered into between the Company and certain of Viasystems’ significant stockholders prevent Viasystems stockholders from providing a meaningful vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger; and (3) that those breaches of fiduciary duties were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems. Further, the Missouri Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the proposed Merger is unfair and the consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is inadequate; (2) the Viasystems Board and Viasystems’ management have a conflict of interest due to the cash pool bonus and change in control payments to be made to certain executive officers and key employees if the Merger is consummated; and (3) the Merger Agreement contains impermissible deal protection devices.

15

TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Lawsuits seek injunctive relief to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement or any of the terms therein, costs and disbursements and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, as well as other equitable relief as the respective court deems proper. The Delaware Lawsuit also seeks: (1) in the event the Merger is consummated prior to the entry of the court’s final judgment, rescissory damages as an alternative to rescission, and (2) an accounting by all defendants to the plaintiff and other members of the class for all damages caused by the defendants and for all profits and any special benefits obtained as a result of their alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. TTM believes the Lawsuits are without merit.

Environmental Matters

The process to manufacture PCBs requires adherence to city, county, state, federal and foreign environmental regulations regarding the storage, use, handling and disposal of chemicals, solid wastes and other hazardous materials as well as compliance with air quality standards and chemical use reporting. The Company believes that its facilities in the United States comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. In China, governmental authorities have adopted new rules and regulations governing environmental issues. An update to Chinese environmental water waste law was issued in late 2012, but allows for an interim period in which plants subject to such law may install equipment that meets the new regulatory regime and come into full compliance with the new laws in 2014 and 2015, depending on the province of China in which such plant is located. The Company’s plants in China are not yet in full compliance with the newly adopted environmental regulations as updated in late 2012. The Company expects to come into compliance and does not anticipate any immediate risk of government fines or temporary closure of its Chinese plants. The Company has established and enacted an investment plan, which includes capital expenditures estimated to be approximately $15, 000 through 2015, to address the regulatory changes in order to come into full compliance during the interim period.

(13) Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

Diluted	$	0.09	$	(0.09	)	$	0.01	$	0.13

For the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and for the three quarters ended September 30, 2013, performance-based restricted stock units, restricted stock units and stock options to purchase 1,263, 1,230 and 1,987 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method for performance-based restricted stock units, restricted stock units or stock options was greater than the average market price of common shares during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, potential shares of common stock, consisting of stock options to purchase approximately 954 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.78 to $16.82 per share, 1,551 restricted stock units, and 118 performance-based restricted stock units were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss from operations and, as a result, the impact would be anti-dilutive.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

For the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the effect of 27,970 shares of common stock, related to the Company’s convertible senior notes and warrants to purchase 28,020 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013, the effect of 10,963 shares of common stock, related to the Company’s convertible senior notes and warrants to purchase 10,963 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

The Company maintains a long-term incentive program for executives that provides for the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units (PRUs), representing hypothetical shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued. Under the PRU program, a target number of PRUs is awarded at the beginning of each three-year performance period. The number of shares of common stock released at the end of the performance period will range from zero to 2.4 times the target number depending on performance during the period. The performance metrics of the PRU program are based on (a) annual financial targets, which are based on revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization expense), each equally weighted, and (b) an overall modifier based on the Company’s total stockholder return (TSR) relative to the S&P SmallCap 600 for PRUs granted in 2012, and, for PRUs granted in 2013 and 2014, a group of peer companies selected by the Company’s compensation committee, over the three-year performance period.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for PRU awards granted based on management’s periodic assessment of the probability of the PRU awards vesting. PRUs activity for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 was as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of specified factors, including those set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2013, filed with the SEC.

OVERVIEW AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

We are a leading global provider of time-critical and technologically complex printed circuit board (PCB) products and backplane assemblies (PCBs populated with electronic components), which serve as the foundation of sophisticated electronic products. We provide our customers time-to-market and advanced technology products and offer a one-stop manufacturing solution to customers from engineering support to prototype development through final volume production. We serve a diversified customer base in various markets throughout the world, including manufacturers of networking/communications infrastructure products, touch screen tablets, and smartphones. We also serve the aerospace and defense, high-end computing, and industrial/medical industries. Our customers include both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers.

On September 21, 2014, we, Viasystems Group, Inc. (Viasystems), and Vector Acquisition Corp. (Merger Sub) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) under which we will acquire all outstanding shares of Viasystems (the Merger) for a combined consideration of $11.33 in cash and 0.706 shares of TTM common stock per outstanding share of Viasystems common stock, which based on the closing market price on September 19, 2014 was valued at $16.46 per share of Viasystems common stock, or approximately $368 million. The total enterprise value of the transaction, including the assumption of debt, is approximately $927 million. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein for additional information. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015.

Our Asia Pacific operating segment experiences revenue fluctuations, caused in part by seasonal patterns in the touch screen tablet and cellular phone industries, which together have become a significant portion of the end markets we serve. This seasonality typically results in higher net sales in the third and fourth quarters due to end customer demand to meet fourth quarter sales of consumer electronics products.

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Specifically, we are subject to risks associated with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). For the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, our consolidated condensed statement of operations included an unrealized foreign exchange loss of approximately $2.1 million, due primarily to the rapid depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar during the first quarter of 2014. Unrealized foreign exchange gains during the third quarter of 2014 were approximately $1.5 million. We do not engage in hedging to manage foreign currency risk related to revenue and expenses denominated in RMB nor do we currently use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk for a majority of our loans due from our foreign subsidiaries.

Labor costs represent a significant portion of our total manufacturing costs. Our labor costs in the People’s Republic of China (China) have increased rapidly over the past number of years as a result of mandated increases in the minimum wage and increased compensation offered to our labor force due to the reduction of overtime hours that we implemented to meet standards required by some of our global customers. These increases in labor costs have reduced the gross and operating margins of our Asia Pacific operating segment. We believe annual labor rate increases together with increased pricing pressures from our principal customers and the reduction in our first quarter and second quarter operating leverage due to the seasonal nature of our business will occur each year for the foreseeable future and may further reduce gross and operating margins in our Asia Pacific operating segment.

We sell to OEMs both directly and indirectly through EMS providers. While our customers include both OEMs and EMS providers, we measure customers based on OEM companies as they are the ultimate end customers. Sales to our 10 largest OEM customers accounted for 58% and 56% of our net sales for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Sales to our 10 largest OEM customers accounted for 55% and 52% of our net sales for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

For PCBs, we measure the time sensitivity of our products by tracking the quick-turn percentage of our work. We define quick-turn orders as those with delivery times of 10 days or less, which typically captures research and development, prototype, and new product introduction work, in addition to unexpected short-term production demand from our customers. Generally, we quote prices after we receive the design specifications and the time and volume requirements from our customers. Our quick-turn services command a premium price as compared to our standard lead-time products.

We also deliver product within compressed lead times of 11 to 20 days. We typically receive a premium price for this work as well. Purchase orders may be cancelled prior to shipment. We charge customers a fee, based on percentage completed, if an order is cancelled once it has entered production. We derive revenues primarily from the sale of PCBs and backplane assemblies using customer-supplied engineering and design plans. We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the sales terms are fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss have transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured — generally when products are shipped to the customer. Net sales consist of gross sales less an allowance for returns, which typically have been less than 3% of gross sales. We provide our customers a limited right of return for defective PCBs and backplane assemblies. We record an estimate for sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical results.

Cost of goods sold consists of materials, labor, outside services, and overhead expenses incurred in the manufacture and testing of our products as well as stock-based compensation expense. Many factors affect our gross margin, including capacity utilization, product mix, product quality issues, production volume, and yield. We generally do not participate in any significant long-term contracts with suppliers, and we believe there are a number of potential suppliers for the raw materials we use.

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions paid to our internal sales force and independent sales representatives, salaries paid to our sales support staff, stock-based compensation expense as well as costs associated with marketing materials and trade shows.

General and administrative costs primarily include the salaries for executive, finance, accounting, information technology, facilities, research and development, and human resources personnel, as well as insurance expenses, expenses for accounting and legal assistance, incentive compensation expense, stock-based compensation expense, bad debt expense, gains or losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, and acquisition-related expenses.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2013 for further discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 30, 2013.

22

Specific to our goodwill valuation policy, we will perform our annual impairment test during our fourth fiscal quarter. Given the recent volatility of our market capitalization, it is reasonably possible that we could record an impairment charge by fiscal year end when we conduct our annual impairment test.

We manage our worldwide operations based on two geographic operating segments: 1) Asia Pacific, which consists of five PCB fabrication plants and one drilling facility and 2) North America, which consists of seven domestic PCB fabrication plants, including a facility that provides follow-on value-added services primarily for one of the PCB fabrication plants, and one backplane assembly plant in Shanghai, China, which is managed in conjunction with our U.S. operations. Each segment operates predominantly in the same industry with production facilities that produce similar customized products for their customers and use similar means of product distribution.

The following table compares net sales by reportable segment for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

	For the Quarter Ended						For the Three Quarters Ended

Total net sales	$	345,275		$	338,691		$	934,805		$	1,002,104

Net Sales

Total net sales increased $6.6 million, or 1.9%, from $338.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 to $345.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. Net sales for the Asia Pacific segment, excluding inter-segment sales, increased $8.1 million, or 3.9%, from $206.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $214.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher demand in our Cellular Phone and Networking/Communications end markets, partially offset by lower demand in our Computing/Storage/Peripherals end market. The change in our product mix resulted in a 13% increase in the average PCB selling price, partially offset by an 8% decrease in PCB shipments from the third quarter of 2013. Net sales for the North America segment decreased $1.5 million, or 1.1%, from $132.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $131.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a 7% decrease in demand for PCB products in the Networking/Communications end market, partially offset by increased revenue for PCB products in the Medical/Industrial/Instrumentation end market.

Total net sales decreased $67.3 million, or 6.7%, from $1,002.1 million for the first three quarters of 2013 to $934.8 million for the first three quarters of 2014. Net sales for the Asia Pacific segment, excluding inter-segment sales, decreased $70.6 million, or 11.5%, from $616.2 million in the first three quarters of 2013 to $545.6 million in the first three quarters of 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the absence of net sales resulting from the sale of a controlling equity interest in a subsidiary in the second quarter of 2013 combined with lower demand in our Computing/Storage/Peripherals and Cellular Phone end markets, which resulted in a 20% decrease in PCB shipments from the first three quarters of 2013. This decrease in net sales was partially offset by an 11% increase in the average PCB selling price, which was driven by product mix shift. Net sales for the North America segment increased $3.3 million, or 0.9%, from $385.9 million in the first three quarters of 2013 to $389.2 million in the first three quarters of 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in demand for backplane assemblies and for PCB products in our Medical/Industrial/ Instrumentation end market.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased from 14.3% for the third quarter of 2013 to 14.2% for the third quarter of 2014. Gross margin for the Asia Pacific segment increased from 12.6% for the third quarter of 2013 to 13.6% for the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to higher production volumes at certain PCB fabrication plants and lower product warranty claims, partially offset by higher production costs resulting from new product introductions, product mix changes, and a five day production shut down at one of our advanced technology facilities in China due to an unexpected power outage. Gross margin for the North America segment decreased from 16.9% for the third quarter of 2013 to 15.2% for the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to a mix shift toward lower margin assembly products and lower cost absorption due to lower production volumes at certain PCB fabrication plants.

Gross margin decreased from 14.7% for the first three quarters of 2013 to 13.5% for the first three quarters of 2014. Gross margin for the Asia Pacific segment decreased from 13.5% for the first three quarters of 2013 to 12.5% for the first three quarters of 2014, primarily due to unfavorable product mix, lower utilization and increased equipment-related expenses at our advanced technology plants in the first two quarters of 2014. Gross margin for the North America segment decreased from 16.6% for the first three quarters of 2013 to 14.9% for the first three quarters of 2014, primarily due to a mix shift toward lower margin assembly products and lower cost absorption due to lower production volumes at certain PCB fabrication plants.

24

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 1.1%, from $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 to $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses remained consistent at 2.6% for each of the third quarters of 2013 and 2014. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 2.2%, from $27.6 million for the first three quarters of 2013 to $27.0 million for the first three quarters of 2014. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses were 2.7% and 2.9% for the first three quarters of 2013 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses for the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily due to reduced commissions and lower travel expenses over the comparable periods of the prior year. Additionally, the increase in selling and marketing expense as a percentage of net sales for the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily due to lower net sales.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million from $24.3 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2013 to $25.8 million, or 7.5% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses decreased $6.0 million from $77.0 million, or 7.7% of net sales, for the first three quarters of 2013 to $71.0 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the first three quarters of 2014. The increase in general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2014 primarily related to costs of $1.6 million related to the proposed acquisition of Viasystems. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the first three quarters ended 2014 is primarily due to costs savings resulting from the sale of our controlling equity interest in a subsidiary in the Asia Pacific operating segment and lower incentive compensation expense, offset by the $1.6 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in the third quarter of 2014.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense, net increased $1.1 million from $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in other expense, net was primarily due to a decrease in currency transaction and derivative gains.

Other expense, net increased $6.5 million from $13.7 million for the first three quarters of 2013 to $20.2 million for the first three quarters of 2014. The increase in other expense, net was primarily due to unrealized foreign currency transaction losses of $3.6 million due to the rapid depreciation of the Chinese RMB against the U.S. Dollar, and $0.5 million loss on the extinguishment of debt related to repurchase of a portion of convertible senior notes due 2015, both in the first quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $3.0 million from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 to $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. In 2013, income tax expense was higher primarily due to the increase of valuation allowance of $3.3 million as a result of a new state law that significantly reduced the carryforward period of certain state tax credits. In addition, in the third quarter of 2014, we had a decrease in income tax expense due to discrete benefits resulting from the research and development deduction at a Chinese subsidiary within our Asia Pacific operating segment.

The provision for income taxes decreased $14.5 million from an income tax expense of $13.5 million for the first three quarters of 2013 to an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the first three quarters of 2014. The decrease in our provision for income taxes was primarily due to losses incurred for the first three quarters of 2014 compared to income in the same period of the prior year, combined with (i) a $1.5 million discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2014 resulting from the retroactive approval of the high technology enterprise status for a subsidiary within the Asia Pacific operating segment, (ii) a $0.7 million discrete tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2014 resulting from the research and development deduction at a Chinese subsidiary within the Asia Pacific operating segment, and (iii) a $0.4 million change in estimates resulting from completion of our 2013 federal income tax return.

Our effective tax rate is primarily impacted by the U.S. federal income tax rate, apportioned state income tax rates, tax rates in China and Hong Kong, generation of other credits and deductions available to us, and certain non-deductible items. Certain foreign losses generated are not more than likely to be realizable, and thus no income tax benefit has been recognized on these losses. Additionally, as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, we had net deferred income tax assets of approximately $6.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Based on our forecast for future taxable earnings, we believe it is more likely than not that we will utilize the deferred income tax assets in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, the issuance of convertible senior notes, and term and revolving debt. Our principal uses of cash have been to finance capital expenditures, meet debt service requirements, fund working capital requirements, finance acquisitions, and refinance existing debt. We anticipate that financing acquisitions, servicing debt, financing capital expenditures, and funding working capital requirements, will continue to be the principal demands on our cash in the future.

As of September 29, 2014, we had net working capital of approximately $251.3 million compared to $347.0 million as of December 30, 2013.

25

As of September 29, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $248.7 million, of which approximately $67.6 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries as of September 29, 2014, $64.4 million was located in Asia and $3.2 million was located in Europe. Cash and cash equivalents located in our Asia Pacific operating segment are expected to be used in local operations. Cash and cash equivalents located in our backplane assembly facility in Shanghai, China, as well as in Europe, which are managed in conjunction with our U.S. operations, totaled approximately $14.2 million and are available for repatriation and a deferred tax liability for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings has been recorded.

Our 2014 capital expenditure plan is expected to total approximately $100.0 million (of which approximately $80.0 million relates to our Asia Pacific operating segment). The expenditures will fund capital equipment purchases to increase production capacity, especially for advanced technology manufacturing, comply with increased environmental regulations, replace aging equipment, and expand our technological capabilities.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations, cash on hand and cash available from borrowings under our existing credit arrangements will be adequate to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditure, debt service, and working capital needs for the next 12 months. However, we may enter into new borrowing arrangements, if needed, to fund acquisitions, fund our business operations, or refinance existing debt.

Credit Agreement

We are party to a facility agreement (Credit Agreement) consisting of a $370.0 million senior secured Term Loan, a $90.0 million senior secured Revolving Loan and a secured $80.0 million Letters of Credit Facility. The Term Loan and Letters of Credit Facility will mature on September 14, 2016, and the Revolving Loan will mature on March 14, 2016. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of our Asia Pacific operating segment and is senior to all of our other debt, including the convertible senior notes. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the full and timely payment of all Credit Agreement related obligations of the Asia Pacific operating segment.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest margin of 2.38%. At September 29, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 2.53%.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to certain financial and operating covenants that include maintaining maximum total leverage ratios and minimum net worth, current ratio, and interest coverage ratios for both us and our Asia Pacific operating segment. In addition, our Credit Agreement includes a covenant that the Principal Shareholders (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement dated April 9, 2010 as amended on September 14, 2012) will not reduce their shareholding below 15 percent of TTM’s issued shares. At September 29, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants.

We are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on any unused portion of the loans and letters of credit facility granted under the Credit Agreement. We incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014, respectively, in commitment fees. As of September 29, 2014, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan was $273.8 million, of which $96.2 million is due for repayment through September 2015 and is included as short-term debt, with the remaining $177.6 million included as long-term debt. None of the Revolving Loan associated with the Credit Agreement was outstanding at September 29, 2014. Available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan was $90.0 million as of September 29, 2014.

We have an $80.0 million Letters of Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement. As of September 29, 2014, letters of credit in the amount of $43.2 million were outstanding under our Credit Agreement, and other standby letters of credit were outstanding in the amount of $3.9 million. The other outstanding standby letters of credit expire between December 31, 2014 and February 28, 2015.

We are party to a revolving loan credit facility with a lender in China. Under this arrangement, the lender has made available to us approximately $47.3 million in unsecured borrowing with all terms of the borrowing to be negotiated at the time the revolver is drawn upon. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolver and this arrangement expires in December 2014. As of September 29, 2014, the revolver had not been drawn upon.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

On December 20, 2013, we issued 1.75% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2020, in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $220.0 million. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to our future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated indebtedness. Offering expenses are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible senior notes.

26

In January 2014, we closed the sale of an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (Additional Notes). The Additional Notes were sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option granted by us in the underwriting agreement related to the offer and sale of $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020. In connection with the offering of the Additional Notes, we entered into additional convertible note hedge transactions with respect to shares of our common stock. The additional purchased call options cover up to approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock, at a strike price of $9.64 and will expire upon the maturity of the notes. Additionally, we also entered into additional warrant transactions, whereby we sold warrants to acquire up to approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock at a strike price of $14.26, which will expire ratably from March 2021 through January 2022.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

In May 2008, we issued $175.0 million of convertible senior notes. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to our future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated indebtedness. Offering expenses are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible senior notes.

Prior to December 30, 2013, we repurchased $136.1 million principal amount of notes. In January 2014, we repurchased $6.5 million principal amount of notes at approximately 103.4% of their principal amount. This repurchase was also accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and, accordingly, we recognized a loss of approximately $0.5 million, primarily associated with the premium paid to repurchase the convertible senior notes and the recognition of certain remaining unamortized debt discount and issuance costs. At September 29, 2014, $32.4 million of principal related to the convertible senior notes due 2015 remain outstanding.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table provides information on our contractual obligations as of September 29, 2014:

(1) Unrecognized uncertain tax benefits of $2.5 million are not included in the table above as we have not determined when the amount will be paid.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As a result, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Seasonality

As a result of the product and customer mix of our Asia Pacific operating segment, our revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations. These fluctuations include seasonal patterns in the computer and cellular phone industries, which together have become a significant portion of the end markets we serve. This seasonality typically results in higher net sales in the third and fourth quarters due to end customer demand to meet fourth quarter sales of consumer electronics products.

27

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us at the beginning of fiscal year 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an update that would require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the amendment on January 1, 2014, and our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business we are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, as well as the effects of translating amounts denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. Dollar as a normal part of the reporting process. Our Asia Pacific operations utilize the Renminbi (RMB) and the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) as the functional currencies, which results in us recording a translation adjustment that is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Our foreign exchange exposure results primarily from employee-related and other costs of running operations in foreign countries, foreign currency denominated purchases and translation of balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies. Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the RMB. For the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, our consolidated condensed statement of operations includes an unrealized foreign exchange loss of approximately $2.1 million due to the rapid depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar during the first quarter of 2014. There was approximately $1.5 million of unrealized foreign exchange gain during the third quarter of 2014.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce the volatility of purchases and other obligations generated in currencies other than the functional currencies. Our foreign subsidiaries may at times purchase forward exchange contracts to manage their foreign currency risks in relation to certain purchases of machinery denominated in foreign currencies other than our foreign functional currency. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013 was approximately $30.4 million and $47.0 million, respectively. We have designated certain of these foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges. To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our foreign exchange hedge positions, we continually monitor our foreign exchange forward positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with their underlying foreign currency exposures, from an accounting and economic perspective. However, given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to be hedged, we cannot assure that such programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the timing of the accounting for recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market instruments for any given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect our consolidated operating results and financial position.

We do not engage in hedging to manage foreign currency risk related to revenue and expenses denominated in RMB and HKD nor do we currently use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk for a majority of our loans due from our foreign subsidiaries. However, we may consider the use of derivatives in the future. In general, our Chinese customers pay us in RMB, which partially mitigates this foreign currency exchange risk.

Additionally, we do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor have we experienced any losses to date on any derivative financial instruments due to counterparty credit risk.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources and Credit Agreement appearing in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of our financing facilities and capital structure. As of September 29, 2014, approximately 50.8% of our total debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of September 29, 2014, an assumed 100 basis point change in variable rates would cause our annual interest cost to change by $2.7 million.

See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2013 for further discussion of market risks associated with interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risks has not changed materially since December 30, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 29, 2014, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 29, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements due to error or fraud. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. There can be no assurance that we will prevail in any such litigation. We believe that the amount of any reasonably possible or probable loss for known matters would not be material to our financial statements; however, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

Since the public announcement on September 22, 2014 of the execution of the Merger Agreement, Viasystems, TTM, Merger Sub, and the members of the Viasystems Board have been named as defendants in two putative class action complaints challenging the Merger. The first lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri on September 30, 2014 (the “Missouri Lawsuit”), and the second lawsuit, filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2014 (the “Delaware Lawsuit” and, together with the Missouri Lawsuit, the “Lawsuits”), generally allege that the Merger fails to properly value Viasystems, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in approving the Merger Agreement, and that those breaches were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems.

The Delaware Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the Viasystems Board breached its fiduciary duties by: (a) agreeing to the Merger for grossly inadequate consideration, (b) agreeing to lock up the Merger with deal protection devices that prevent other bidders from making a successful competing offer for Viasystems, and (c) participating in a transaction where the loyalties of the Viasystems Board and management are divided; (2) the voting agreements entered into between TTM and certain of Viasystems’ significant stockholders prevent Viasystems stockholders from providing a meaningful vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger; and (3) that those breaches of fiduciary duties were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems. Further, the Missouri Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the proposed Merger is unfair and the consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is inadequate; (2) the Viasystems Board and Viasystems’ management have a conflict of interest due to the cash pool bonus and change in control payments to be made to certain executive officers and key employees if the Merger is consummated; and (3) the Merger Agreement contains impermissible deal protection devices.

29

The Lawsuits seek injunctive relief to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement or any of the terms therein, costs and disbursements and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, as well as other equitable relief as the respective court deems proper. The Delaware Lawsuit also seeks: (1) in the event the Merger is consummated prior to the entry of the court’s final judgment, rescissory damages as an alternative to rescission, and (2) an accounting by all defendants to the plaintiff and other members of the class for all damages caused by the defendants and for all profits and any special benefits obtained as a result of their alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. TTM believes the Lawsuits are without merit.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the factors described below, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in analyzing an investment in our common stock. If any of the events described below occurs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would likely suffer, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you could lose all or part of the money you paid for our common stock. The risk factors described below are not the only ones we face. Risks and uncertainties not known to us currently, or that may appear immaterial, also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the following risk factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or the other documents we file with the SEC, or our annual or quarterly reports to stockholders, future press releases, or orally, whether in presentations, responses to questions, or otherwise.

Our acquisition strategy involves numerous risks.

As discussed above, on September 21, 2014, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Viasystems and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Viasystems, with Viasystems surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. This transaction and any other acquisitions we may pursue in the future involve numerous risks. As part of our business strategy, we expect that we will continue to grow by pursuing acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets, or product lines that complement or expand our business. Risks related to an acquisition may include:

• the potential inability to successfully integrate acquired operations and businesses or to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale, or other expected value;

• diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of our existing business to focus on integration of the newly acquired business;

• unforeseen expenses associated with the integration of the newly acquired business;

• difficulties in managing production and coordinating operations at new sites;

• the potential loss of key employees of acquired operations;

• the potential inability to retain existing customers of acquired companies when we desire to do so;

• insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions;

• the potential decrease in overall gross margins associated with acquiring a business with a different product mix;

• the inability to identify certain unrecorded liabilities;

• the potential need to restructure, modify, or terminate customer relationships of the acquired company;

• an increased concentration of business from existing or new customers; and

• the potential inability to identify assets best suited to our business plan.

Acquisitions may cause us to:

• enter lines of business and/or markets in which we have limited or no prior experience;

• issue debt and be required to abide by stringent loan covenants;

• assume liabilities; record goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing and potential periodic impairment charges;

• become subject to litigation and environmental issues, which include product material content certifications;

• incur unanticipated costs;

• incur large and immediate write-offs;

• issue common stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership; and

• incur substantial transaction-related costs, whether or not a proposed acquisition is consummated.

30

Acquisitions of high technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our recent or future acquisitions will be successful and will not harm our business, operating results, or financial condition. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could harm our business and operating results in a material way. Even when an acquired company has already developed and marketed products, product enhancements may not be made in a timely fashion. In addition, unforeseen issues might arise with respect to such products after the acquisition.

The issuance of our common stock in connection with the Merger could decrease the market price of our common stock.

The issuance of our common stock in the Merger may result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock, including a stock price decline.

We, Viasystems, and Merger Sub may be unable to satisfy the conditions to the Merger, and the Viasystems Merger may not be consummated.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Viasystems stockholders, (2) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of certain other required antitrust approvals under applicable antitrust and competition laws of China, Germany and Estonia, (3) the absence of any legal restraints or prohibitions on the consummation of the Merger, and (4) receipt of approval of the transaction from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the other party not having suffered a material adverse effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

These and other conditions to the consummation of the Merger may fail to be satisfied. In addition, satisfying the conditions to the Merger may take longer, and could cost more, than Viasystems and we expect. The satisfaction of all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Merger could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the Merger is successfully consummated within its expected timeframe. Further, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be consummated.

Failure to achieve expected benefits of the Merger and to integrate Viasystems’ operations with ours could adversely affect us following the completion of the Merger and the market price of our common stock.

Although we expect to realize strategic, operational, and financial benefits as a result of the Merger, we cannot be certain whether, and to what extent, such benefits will be achieved in the future. In particular, the success of the Merger will depend on achieving efficiencies and cost savings, and no assurances can be given that we will be able to do so. For example, costs associated with Viasystems’ legal proceedings and other loss contingencies may be greater than expected. In addition, in order to obtain the benefits of the Merger, we must integrate Viasystems’ operations. Such integration may be complex and the failure to do so quickly and effectively may negatively affect earnings.

In addition, the market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if the integration of Viasystems is unsuccessful, takes longer than expected, or fails to achieve financial benefits to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors, or the effect of the Merger on our financial results is otherwise not consistent with the expectations of financial analysts or investors.

Legal proceedings in connection with the Merger, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Merger.

Since the public announcement of the Merger Agreement on September 22, 2014, Viasystems, the members of the Viasystems Board, our Company, and Merger Sub have been named as defendants in two putative class action complaints challenging the Merger (see “Item 1 – Legal Proceedings”). The Lawsuits generally allege, among other things, that the Merger fails to properly value Viasystems, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in approving the Merger Agreement and that those breaches were aided and abetted by our Company, Merger Sub, and Viasystems. The Lawsuits seek, among other things, injunctive relief to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement or any of the terms therein, costs and disbursements, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, as well as other equitable relief as the court deems proper.

31

One of the conditions to the Merger is that no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, or other order (as defined in the Merger Agreement) issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Merger shall be in effect; nor shall there be any statute, rule, regulation, or order enacted, entered, or enforced that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger. Consequently, if the plaintiffs secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying, or otherwise adversely affecting the defendants’ ability to consummate the Merger, then such injunctive or other relief may prevent the Merger from becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all. If consummation of the Merger is prevented or delayed, it could result in substantial costs to our Company and Viasystems. In addition, we and Viasystems could incur significant costs in connection with the Lawsuits, including costs associated with the indemnification of Viasystems’ directors and officers.

We will incur substantial additional indebtedness in connection with the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, we have received commitments for financing arrangements consisting of a senior secured asset-based revolving facility (the “ABL Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $150 million, and a senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term B Facility” and, together with the ABL Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of $1,115 million. While we have obtained a commitment for such financing, we are continuing to evaluate and explore various capital structure options for the ultimate financing structure to be implemented. Any such final documentation will be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Merger. We intend to use the aggregate proceeds of the Term B Facility to pay the cash portion of the consideration to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Merger, to refinance certain existing indebtedness of Viasystems, to refinance certain existing indebtedness of our Company, and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger. We do not presently expect to draw on the ABL Facility. This additional indebtedness of our Company may limit the combined company’s operating flexibility following the Merger and may otherwise strain the combined company’s liquidity and financial condition.

As a result of the Merger, our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheet will increase. If our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, or other intangible assets become impaired in the future, we would be required to record a material, non-cash charge to earnings, which would also reduce our stockholders’ equity.

Under GAAP, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis (or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable) and other intangible assets if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. If our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, or other intangible assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we will be required to record a material, non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which the impairment is determined.

We are subject to risks of currency fluctuations.

A portion of our cash and other current assets is held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 29, 2014, we had an aggregate of approximately $188.2 million in current assets denominated in Chinese RMB and the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Changes in exchange rates among other currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the value of these assets as translated to U.S. dollars in our balance sheet. To the extent that we ultimately decide to repatriate some portion of these funds to the United States, the actual value transferred could be impacted by movements in exchange rates. Any such type of movement could negatively impact the amount of cash available to fund operations or to repay debt. Significant inflation or disproportionate changes in foreign exchange rates could occur as a result of general economic conditions, acts of war or terrorism, changes in governmental monetary or tax policy, or changes in local interest rates. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the RMB and the U.S. Dollar and the HKD cannot be predicted. To the extent that we may have outstanding indebtedness denominated in the U.S Dollar or in the HKD, the depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar or the HKD, will have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations (including the cost of servicing, and the value in our balance sheet of, the U.S Dollar and HKD-denominated indebtedness). Further, China’s government imposes controls over the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies, which subjects us to further currency exchange risk.

Products we manufacture may contain design or manufacturing defects, which could result in reduced demand for our services and liability claims against us.

We manufacture products to our customers’ specifications, which are highly complex and may contain design or manufacturing errors or failures, despite our quality control and quality assurance efforts. Defects in the products we manufacture, whether caused by a design, manufacturing, or materials failure or error, may result in delayed shipments, customer dissatisfaction, a reduction or cancellation of purchase orders, or liability claims against us. If these defects occur either in large quantities or too frequently, our business reputation may be impaired. Since our products are used in products that are integral to our customers’ businesses, errors, defects, or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers beyond the cost of the PCB, for which we may be liable. Although our invoices and sales arrangements generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability and related claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate these limitation of liability provisions. Product liability litigation against us, even if it were unsuccessful, would be time consuming and costly to defend. Although we maintain technology errors and omissions insurance, we cannot assure investors that we will continue to be able to purchase such insurance coverage in the future on terms that are satisfactory to us, if at all, or that insurance will cover the specific defect issues that arise.

We are heavily dependent upon the worldwide electronics industry, which is characterized by economic cycles and fluctuations in product demand. A downturn in the electronics industry or prolonged global economic crisis could result in decreased demand for our manufacturing services and materially impact our financial condition.

A majority of our revenue is generated from the electronics industry, which is characterized by intense competition, relatively short product life cycles, and significant fluctuations in product demand. The industry is subject to economic cycles and recessionary periods. Due to the uncertainty in the end markets served by most of our customers, we have a low level of visibility with respect to future financial results. Consequently, our past operating results, earnings and cash flows may not be indicative of our future operating results, earnings and cash flows.

We depend upon a relatively small number of OEM customers for a large portion of our sales, and a decline in sales to major customers could harm our results of operations.

A small number of customers are responsible for a significant portion of our sales. Collectively, our ten largest OEM customers accounted for approximately 58% and 56% of our net sales for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and one customer represented 23% of our sales in each of the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013. Sales attributed to OEMs include both direct sales as well as sales that the OEMs place through EMS providers. Our customer concentration could fluctuate, depending on future customer requirements, which will depend in large part on market conditions in the electronics industry segments in which our customers participate. The loss of one or more significant customers or a decline in sales to our significant customers could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition and lead to declines in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, we generate significant accounts receivable in connection with providing manufacturing services to our customers. If one or more of our significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for the manufacturing services provided by us, our results of operations would be harmed.

In addition, during industry downturns, we may need to reduce prices at customer requests to limit the level of order losses, and we may be unable to collect payments from our customers. There can be no assurance that key customers would not cancel orders, that they would continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as experienced by us in prior periods, that they would be able to meet their payment obligations, or that the end-products which use our products would be successful. This concentration of customer base may materially and adversely affect our operating results due to the loss or cancellation of business from any of these key customers, significant changes in scheduled deliveries to any of these customers, or decreases in the prices of the products sold to any of these customers.

The Chinese member firm of the KPMG network, of which our independent registered public accounting firm is also a member, may be temporarily suspended from practicing before the SEC. If a delay in completion of our audit process occurs as a result, we could be unable to timely file certain reports with the SEC, which could cause a default under our Credit Agreement or our Convertible Senior Notes and may result in acceleration of significant amounts of indebtedness.

In the quarter ended September 29, 2014, approximately 67% of our total net sales were generated from our significant operations in the People’s Republic of China. Certain of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit documentation related to their audit as of and for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2014 may be located in China, and certain audit procedures may take place within China’s borders.

33

On January 22, 2014 an SEC administrative law judge issued an initial decision suspending the Chinese member firms of the “Big Four” accounting firms, among others, from practicing before the SEC for six months as a result of their failure to provide certain documents to the SEC because to do so would violate Chinese law. The decision is not yet effective and will only become effective when and if the SEC endorses it. If the decision goes into effect, the work of our auditors with respect to our Chinese operations could be delayed.

A delay in completion of the audit process could delay the timely filing of our quarterly or annual reports with the SEC. A significant delay in completion of our regular audits could delay provision of financial statements required under our Credit Agreement. Failure to comply with the deadlines for providing such financial statements could result in a default under our Credit Agreement, which would trigger a cross-default under the terms of our Convertible Senior Notes, rendering all such indebtedness immediately due and payable. A delinquency in our filings with the SEC may also result in NASDAQ initiating delisting procedures. Delisting of our stock would also trigger a default under our Credit Agreement and may require us to repurchase our Convertible Senior Notes. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to maintain satisfactory capacity utilization rates, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Given the high fixed costs of our operations, decreases in capacity utilization rates can have a significant effect on our business. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or enhance gross margins would continue to depend, in part, on maintaining satisfactory capacity utilization rates. In turn, our ability to maintain satisfactory capacity utilization would depend on the demand for our products, the volume of orders we receive, and our ability to offer products that meet our customers’ requirements at competitive prices. If current or future production capacity fails to match current or future customer demands, our facilities would be underutilized, our sales may not fully cover our fixed overhead expenses, and we would be less likely to achieve expected gross margins. If forecasts and assumptions used to support the realizability of our long-lived assets change in the future, significant impairment charges could result that would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we generally schedule our quick turnaround production facilities at less than full capacity to retain our ability to respond to unexpected additional quick-turn orders. However, if these orders are not received, we may forego some production and could experience continued excess capacity. If we conclude we have significant, long-term excess capacity, we may decide to permanently close one or more of our facilities and lay off some of our employees. Closures or lay-offs could result in our recording restructuring charges such as severance, other exit costs, and asset impairments as well as potentially causing disruptions in our ability to supply customers.

Our results of operations are often subject to demand fluctuations and seasonality. With a high level of fixed operating costs, even small revenue shortfalls would decrease our gross margins and potentially cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Our results of operations fluctuate for a variety of reasons, including:

• timing of orders from and shipments to major customers;

• the levels at which we utilize our manufacturing capacity;

• price competition;

• changes in our mix of revenues generated from quick-turn versus standard delivery time services;

• expenditures, charges or write-offs, including those related to acquisitions, facility restructurings, or asset impairments; and

• expenses relating to expanding existing manufacturing facilities.

A significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed in nature, and planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders. Accordingly, unexpected revenue shortfalls may decrease our gross margins. In addition, we have experienced sales fluctuations due to seasonal patterns in the capital budgeting and purchasing cycles, as well as inventory management practices of our customers and the end markets we serve. In particular, the seasonality of the computer and cellular phone industries and quick-turn ordering patterns affect the overall PCB industry. These seasonal trends have caused fluctuations in our operating results in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. In addition, our future quarterly operating results may fluctuate and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of our common stock likely would decline.

34

Covenants in our credit agreement may adversely affect our Company.

On September 14, 2012, we became a party to a Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants that include, among other provisions, limitations on dividends or other distributions, maintaining maximum total leverage ratios and minimum net worth, current assets, and interest coverage ratios at both the Company and the Asia Pacific operating segment level. In addition, our Credit Agreement includes a covenant that the Principal Shareholders (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement dated April 9, 2010 as amended on September 14, 2012) will not reduce their shareholding below 15% of TTM’s issued shares. Our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to comply with all of these financial covenants. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders could elect to declare amounts outstanding there under to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay the indebtedness owed under the Credit Agreement and our other indebtedness. See “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Agreement.”

Our results can be adversely affected by rising labor costs.

There is uncertainty with respect to rising labor costs, in particular within China, where we have most of our manufacturing facilities. In recent periods there have been regular and significant increases in the minimum wage payable in various provinces of China. In addition, we have experienced very high employee turnover in our manufacturing facilities in China, and we are experiencing ongoing difficulty in recruiting employees for these facilities. Furthermore, labor disputes and strikes based partly on wages have in the past slowed or stopped production by certain manufacturers in China. In some cases, employers have responded by significantly increasing the wages of workers at such plants. Any increase in labor costs due to minimum wage laws or customer requirements about scheduling and overtime that we are unable to recover in our pricing to our customers could adversely impact our operating results. In addition, the high turnover rate and our difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified employees and the other labor trends we are noting in China could result in production disruptions or delays or the inability to ramp production to meet increased customer orders, resulting in order cancellation or imposition of customer penalties if we are unable to timely deliver products.

To respond to competitive pressures and customer requirements, we may further expand internationally in lower cost locations. If we pursue such expansions, we may be required to make additional capital expenditures. In addition, the cost structure in certain countries that are now considered to be favorable may increase as economies develop or as such countries join multinational economic communities or organizations, causing local wages to rise. As a result, we may need to continue to seek new locations with lower costs and the employee and infrastructure base to support PCB manufacturing. We cannot assure investors that we will realize the anticipated strategic benefits of our international operations or that our international operations will contribute positively to our operating results.

In our North America operating segment, rising health care costs pose a significant labor-related risk. We work with our insurance brokers and carriers to control the cost of health care for our employees. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts will succeed, especially given recent and pending changes in government oversight of health care.

We serve customers and have manufacturing facilities outside the United States and are subject to the risks characteristic of international operations.

We have significant manufacturing operations in Asia and sales offices located in Asia and Europe, and we continue to consider additional opportunities to make foreign investments and construct new foreign facilities. For the quarter ended September 29, 2014, we generated 67% of our net sales from non-U.S. operations, and a significant portion of our manufacturing material was provided by international suppliers during this period. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to significant international operations, including but not limited to:

• managing international operations;

• imposition of governmental controls;

• unstable regulatory environments;

• compliance with employment laws;

• implementation of disclosure controls, internal controls, financial reporting systems, and governance standards to comply with U.S. accounting and securities laws and regulations;

• limitations on imports or exports of our product offerings;

• fluctuations in the value of local currencies;

• inflation or changes in political and economic conditions;

• labor unrest, rising wages, difficulties in staffing and geographical labor shortages;

• government or political unrest;

35

• longer payment cycles;

• language and communication barriers as well as time zone differences;

• cultural differences;

• increases in duties and taxation levied on our products;

• other potentially adverse tax consequences;

• imposition of restrictions on currency conversion or the transfer of funds;

• travel restrictions;

• expropriation of private enterprises; and

• the potential reversal of current favorable policies encouraging foreign investment and trade.

Our operations in China subject us to risks and uncertainties relating to the laws and regulations of China.

Under its current leadership, the government of China has been pursuing economic reform policies, including the encouragement of foreign trade and investment and greater economic decentralization. No assurance can be given, however, that the government of China will continue to pursue such policies, that such policies will be successful if pursued, or that such policies will not be significantly altered from time to time. Despite progress in developing its legal system, China does not have a comprehensive and highly developed system of laws, particularly with respect to foreign investment activities and foreign trade. Enforcement of existing and future laws and contracts is uncertain, and implementation and interpretation thereof may be inconsistent. As the Chinese legal system develops, the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the preemption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. Further, any litigation in China may be protracted and may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, though changes in government policies and rules are timely published or communicated, there is usually no indication of the duration of any grace period before which full implementation and compliance will be required. As a result, we may operate our business in violation of new rules and policies before full compliance can be achieved. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us.

We depend on the U.S. government for a substantial portion of our business, which involves unique risks. Changes in government defense spending or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from products and services ultimately sold to the U.S. government by our OEM and EMS customers and is therefore affected by, among other things, the federal budget process. We are a supplier, primarily as a subcontractor, to the U.S. government and its agencies as well as foreign governments and agencies. The contracts between our direct customers and the government end user are subject to political and budgetary constraints and processes, changes in short-range and long-range strategic plans, the timing of contract awards, the congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes, the government’s ability to terminate contracts for convenience or for default, as well as other risks, such as contractor suspension or debarment in the event of certain violations of legal and regulatory requirements.

For the quarter ended September 29, 2014, aerospace and defense sales accounted for approximately 15% of our total net sales. The substantial majority of these sales are related to both U.S. and foreign military and defense programs. While we do not sell any significant volume of products directly to the U.S. government, we are a supplier to the U.S. government and its agencies as well as foreign governments and agencies. Consequently, our sales are affected by changes in the defense budgets of the U.S. and foreign governments. The domestic and international threat of terrorist activity, emerging nuclear states and conventional military threats have led to an increase in demand for defense products and services and homeland security solutions in the recent past. The U.S. government, however, is facing unprecedented budgeting constraints and the U.S. defense budget is currently declining as a result of budgetary pressures and the wind down of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The termination or failure to fund one or more significant contracts by the U.S. government could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Competition in the PCB market is intense, and we could lose market share if we are unable to maintain our current competitive position in end markets using our quick-turn, high technology and high-mix manufacturing services.

The PCB industry is intensely competitive, highly fragmented, and rapidly changing. We expect competition to continue, which could result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share. Our principal PCB and substrate competitors include Unimicron, Ibiden, Compeq, Tripod, Isupetasys, Viasystems, Sanmina, Multek, Wus and Zhen Ding. Our principal backplane assembly competitors include Amphenol, Sanmina, Simclar, TT Electronics, and Viasystems. In addition, we increasingly compete on an international basis, and new and emerging technologies may result in new competitors entering our markets.

Some of our competitors and potential competitors have advantages over us, including:

• greater financial and manufacturing resources that can be devoted to the development, production, and sale of their products;

• more established and broader sales and marketing channels;

36

• more manufacturing facilities worldwide, some of which are closer in proximity to OEMs;

• manufacturing facilities that are located in countries with lower production costs;

• lower capacity utilization, which in peak market conditions can result in shorter lead times to customers;

• ability to add additional capacity faster or more efficiently;

• preferred vendor status with existing and potential customers;

• greater name recognition; and

• larger customer bases.

In addition, these competitors may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, or adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements, and devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products than we do. We must continually develop improved manufacturing processes to meet our customers’ needs for complex products, and our manufacturing process technology is generally not subject to significant proprietary protection. During recessionary periods in the electronics industry, our strategy of providing quick-turn services, an integrated manufacturing solution, and responsive customer service may take on reduced importance to our customers. As a result, we may need to compete more on the basis of price, which could cause our gross margins to decline.

An increase in the cost of raw materials could have an adverse impact on our business and reduce our gross margins.

To manufacture PCBs, we use raw materials such as laminated layers of fiberglass, copper foil, chemical solutions, gold, and other commodity products, which we order from our suppliers. In the case of backplane assemblies, components include connectors, sheet metal, capacitors, resistors and diodes, many of which are custom made and controlled by our customers’ approved vendors. If raw material and component prices increase, it may reduce our gross margins.

If we are unable to provide our customers with high-end technology, high quality products, and responsive service, or if we are unable to deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.

In order to maintain our existing customer base and obtain business from new customers, we must demonstrate our ability to produce our products at the level of technology, quality, responsiveness of service, timeliness of delivery, and cost that our customers require. If our products are of substandard quality, if they are not delivered on time, if we are not responsive to our customers’ demands, or if we cannot meet our customers’ technological requirements, our reputation as a reliable supplier of our products would likely be damaged. If we are unable to meet these product and service standards, we may be unable to obtain new contracts or keep our existing customers, and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to risks for the use of certain metals from “conflict minerals” originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

During the third quarter of 2012, the SEC adopted rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank. These rules impose diligence and disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict minerals” mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries as required by Dodd-Frank. While these new rules continue to be the subject of ongoing litigation and, as a result, uncertainty, we submitted a conflicts minerals report on Form SD with the SEC on May 30, 2014. Compliance with these rules is likely to result in additional costs and expenses, including costs and expenses incurred for due diligence to determine and verify the sources of any conflict minerals used in our products, in addition to the costs and expenses of remediation and other changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification efforts. These rules may also affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of our PCB’s as there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” minerals that can be used in our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such minerals in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, since our supply chain is complex, we may, at a minimum, face reputational challenges with our customers, stockholders and other stakeholders if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the minerals used in our products. We may also encounter customers who require that all of the components of our products be certified as conflict free. If we are not able to meet customer requirements, such customers may choose to disqualify us as a supplier, which could impact our sales and the value of portions of our inventory.

37

Unanticipated changes in our tax rates or in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred income tax assets or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations in which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries and states with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, as well as other factors. Our tax determinations are regularly subject to audit by tax authorities, and developments in those audits could adversely affect our income tax provision. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions, which could affect our operating results and financial condition.

If our net earnings do not remain at or above recent levels, or we are not able to predict with a reasonable degree of probability that they will continue, we may have to record a valuation allowance against our net deferred income tax assets.

As of September 29, 2014, we had net deferred income tax assets of approximately $6.3 million. Based on our forecast for future taxable earnings, we believe we will utilize the deferred income tax assets in future periods. However, if our estimates of future earnings decline, we may have to increase our valuation allowance against our net deferred income tax assets, resulting in a higher income tax provision, which would reduce our earnings per share. Additionally, the ability to utilize deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income in the specific tax jurisdictions that have deferred income tax assets.

If events or circumstances occur in our business that indicate that our goodwill and definite-lived intangibles may not be recoverable, we could have impairment charges that would negatively affect our earnings.

As of September 29, 2014, our consolidated balance sheet reflected $33.3 million of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets. We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred, such that the potential for reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with further decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization may indicate that the remaining balance of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. If factors indicate that assets are impaired, we would be required to reduce the carrying value of our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, which could harm our results during the periods in which such a reduction is recognized. We will perform our annual impairment test during our fourth fiscal quarter. Given the recent volatility of our market capitalization, it is reasonably possible that we could record an impairment charge by fiscal year end when we conduct our annual impairment test.

Our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets may increase in future periods if we consummate other acquisitions. Amortization or impairment of these additional intangibles would, in turn, reduce our earnings.

Damage to our manufacturing facilities due to fire, natural disaster, or other events could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

The destruction or closure of any of our facilities for a significant period of time as a result of fire, explosion, blizzard, act of war or terrorism, flood, tornado, earthquake, lightning, other natural disasters, an outbreak of epidemics such as Ebola or severe acute respiratory syndrome, required maintenance or other events could harm us financially, increasing our costs of doing business and limiting our ability to deliver our manufacturing services on a timely basis. Our insurance coverage with respect to damages to our facilities or our customers’ products caused by natural disasters is limited and is subject to deductibles and coverage limits. Such coverage may not be adequate or continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates and terms.

In the event one or more of our facilities is closed on a temporary or permanent basis as a result of a natural disaster, required maintenance or other event, or in the event that an outbreak of a serious epidemic results in quarantines, temporary closures of offices or manufacturing facilities, travel restrictions or the temporary or permanent loss of key personnel, our operations could be significantly disrupted. Such events could delay or prevent product manufacturing and shipment for the time required to transfer production or repair, rebuild or replace the affected manufacturing facilities. This time frame could be lengthy and result in significant expenses for repair and related costs. While we have in place disaster recovery plans, there can be no assurance that such plans will be sufficient to allow our operations to continue in the event of every natural or man-made disaster, pandemic, required repair or other extraordinary event. Any extended inability to continue our operations at unaffected facilities following such an event would reduce our revenue and potentially damage our reputation as a reliable supplier.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our significant debt service obligations.

As of September 29, 2014, we had total indebtedness of approximately $556.2 million, which represented approximately 44% of our total capitalization. We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

38

Our substantial indebtedness and the fact that a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be used to make principal and interest payments on this indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• reducing the availability of our cash flow for working capital, capital investments and other business activities and purposes;

• limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate, which would place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt;

• limiting, by the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, our ability to borrow additional funds; and

• having a material adverse effect on our business if we fail to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements, because such failure could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in all or a substantial amount of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable.

Our ability to incur significant future indebtedness, whether to finance capital expenditures, potential acquisitions or for general corporate purposes, will depend on our ability to generate cash. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or if future borrowings are not available to us under our secured credit facilities in amounts sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. If we cannot make scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt obligations in the future, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, sell assets, delay capital expenditures, or seek additional equity. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or to effect any other of these actions, our business may be harmed.

Our results may be negatively affected by changing interest rates.

We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing activities. As of September 29, 2014, $273.8 million, or 49%, of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus an applicable interest margin. From time to time, we may also maintain lines of credit at banks in mainland China used for working capital and capital investment for our mainland China facilities that can have interest rates tied to either LIBOR or People’s Bank of China rates with a margin adjustment. Should LIBOR increase substantially in the future for any reason, our interest payments on our variable interest rate debt would also increase, lowering our net income. For additional information, see “Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

If we are unable to respond to rapid technological change and process development, we may not be able to compete effectively.

The market for our manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and continual implementation of new production processes. The future success of our business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance our technological capabilities, to manufacture products that meet changing customer needs, and to successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes on a cost-effective and timely basis. We expect that the investment necessary to maintain our technological position will increase as customers make demands for products and services requiring more advanced technology on a quicker turnaround basis. For example, in 2014 we have made and expect to make significant capital expenditures to expand our HDI and other advanced manufacturing capabilities. We may not be able to raise additional funds in order to respond to technological changes as quickly as our competitors.

In addition, the PCB industry could encounter competition from new or revised manufacturing and production technologies that render existing manufacturing and production technology less competitive or obsolete. We may not respond effectively to the technological requirements of the changing market. If we need new technologies and equipment to remain competitive, the development, acquisition, and implementation of those technologies and equipment may require us to make significant capital investments.

We are subject to the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for our facility security clearance, which is a prerequisite to our ability to perform on classified contracts for the U.S. government.

A facility security clearance is required in order to be awarded and perform on classified contracts for the Department of Defense (DoD) and certain other agencies of the U.S. government. As a cleared entity, we must comply with the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, or NISPOM, and any other applicable U.S. government industrial security regulations. Further, due to the fact that a significant portion of our voting equity is owned by a non-U.S. entity, we are required to be governed by and operate in accordance with the terms and requirements of the Special Security Agreement, or the SSA. The terms of the SSA have been previously disclosed in our SEC filings.

39

If we were to violate the terms and requirements of the SSA, the NISPOM, or any other applicable U.S. government industrial security regulations (which may apply to us under the terms of classified contracts), we could lose our security clearance. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain our security clearance. If for some reason our security clearance is invalidated or terminated, we may not be able to continue to perform on classified contracts and would not be able to enter into new classified contracts, which could adversely affect our revenues.

The prominence of EMS companies as our customers could reduce our gross margins, potential sales, and customers.

Sales to EMS companies represented approximately 39% and 38% of our net sales for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Sales to EMS providers include sales directed by OEMs as well as orders placed with us at the EMS providers’ discretion. EMS providers source on a global basis to a greater extent than OEMs. The growth of EMS providers increases the purchasing power of such providers and could result in increased price competition or the loss of existing OEM customers. In addition, some EMS providers, including some of our customers, have the ability to directly manufacture PCBs and create backplane assemblies. If a significant number of our other EMS customers were to acquire these abilities, our customer base might shrink, and our sales might decline substantially. Moreover, if any of our OEM customers outsource the production of PCBs and creation of backplane assemblies to these EMS providers, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be harmed.

The former owners of our Asia Pacific operating segment own a substantial percentage of our common stock.

We issued a large amount of stock to the principal owners of Meadville in connection with our acquisition of our Asia Pacific operating segment. As of September 29, 2014, approximately 33% of our common stock was beneficially owned by Su Sih (BVI) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (referred to as Su Sih). Su Sih is a holding company wholly owned by Mr. Tang Hsiang Chien, a citizen of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and the father of our director Mr. Tang Chung Yen, Tom. Su Sih and certain affiliates of Mr. Tang Hsiang Chien, if any, who are Principal Shareholders (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement dated April 9, 2010 as amended on September 14, 2012), are entitled to jointly nominate one individual to our board of directors and a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Asia Pacific operating segment. If our Principal Shareholders — or any significant shareholder — were to sell a large number of shares of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could significantly decline. In addition, our relationship with our principal lenders might be negatively impacted.

If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business could be negatively affected.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, growth in the scope and complexity of our operations. This growth may strain our managerial, financial, manufacturing, and other resources. In order to manage our growth, we may be required to continue to implement additional operating and financial controls and hire and train additional personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future, and failure to do so could jeopardize our expansion plans and seriously harm our operations. In addition, growth in our capacity could result in reduced capacity utilization and a corresponding decrease in gross margins.

Our international sales are subject to laws relating to trade, export controls and foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect our operations.

We are required to comply with all applicable domestic and foreign export control laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR, and the Export Administration Regulations, or EAR. Some items manufactured by us are controlled for export by the United States Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security under the EAR. In addition, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and international counterparts that bar bribes or unreasonable gifts for foreign governments and officials. Violation of any of these laws or regulations could result in significant sanctions, including large monetary penalties and suspension or debarment from participation in future government contracts, which could reduce our future revenue and net income.

Our failure to comply with the requirements of environmental laws could result in litigation, fines, revocation of permits necessary to our manufacturing processes, or debarment from our participation in federal government contracts.

Our operations are regulated under a number of federal, state, local, and foreign environmental and safety laws and regulations that govern, among other things, the discharge of hazardous materials into the air and water, as well as the handling, storage, and disposal of such materials. These laws and regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act, as well as analogous state, local, and foreign laws. Compliance with these environmental laws is a major consideration for us because our manufacturing processes use and generate materials classified as hazardous. Because we use hazardous materials and generate hazardous wastes in our manufacturing processes, we may be subject to potential financial liability for costs associated with the investigation and

40

remediation of our own sites, or sites at which we have arranged for the disposal of hazardous wastes, if such sites become contaminated. Even if we fully comply with applicable environmental laws and are not directly at fault for the contamination, we may still be liable. The wastes we generate include spent ammoniacal and cupric etching solutions, metal stripping solutions, waste acid solutions, waste alkaline cleaners, waste oil, and waste waters that contain heavy metals such as copper, tin, lead, nickel, gold, silver, cyanide, and fluoride, and both filter cake and spent ion exchange resins from equipment used for on-site waste treatment.

Any material violations of environmental laws or failure to maintain required environmental permits could subject us to fines, penalties, and other sanctions, including the revocation of our effluent discharge permits, which could require us to cease or limit production at one or more of our facilities, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Even if we ultimately prevail, environmental lawsuits against us would be time consuming and costly to defend.

Environmental laws also could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violation. We operate in environmentally sensitive locations, and we are subject to potentially conflicting and changing regulatory agendas of political, business, and environmental groups. Changes or restrictions on discharge limits, emissions levels, material storage, handling, or disposal might require a high level of unplanned capital investment or global relocation. It is possible that environmental compliance costs and penalties from new or existing regulations may harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are increasingly required to certify compliance with various material content restrictions in our products based on laws of various jurisdictions or territories such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) directives in the European Union and China’s RoHS legislation. New York City has adopted identical RoHS restrictions, and many U.S. states are considering similar rules and legislation. In addition, we must also certify as to the non-applicability to the EU’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive for certain products that we manufacture. The REACH directive requires adoption of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) periodically. We must survey our supply chain and certify to the non-presence or presence of SVHCs to our customers. As with other types of product certifications that we routinely provide, we may incur liability and pay damages if our products do not conform to our certifications.

We are also subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in China, which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the treatment, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. The manufacturing of our products generates gaseous chemical wastes, liquid wastes, waste water and other industrial wastes from various stages of the manufacturing process. Production sites in China are subject to regulation and periodic monitoring by the relevant environmental protection authorities. Environmental claims or the failure to comply with current or future regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us, suspension of production, or cessation of operations.

The process to manufacture PCBs requires adherence to city, county, state, federal and foreign environmental regulations regarding the storage, use, handling and disposal of chemicals, solid wastes and other hazardous materials as well as compliance with air quality standards and chemical use reporting. We believe that our facilities in the United States comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. In China, governmental authorities have adopted new rules and regulations governing environmental issues. An update to Chinese environmental water waste law was issued in late 2012, but allows for an interim period in which plants subject to such law may install equipment that meets the new regulatory regime and come into full compliance with the new laws in 2014 and 2015, depending on the province of China in which such plant is located. Our plants in China are not yet in full compliance with the newly adopted environmental regulations as updated in late 2012. We expect to come into compliance and do not anticipate any immediate risk of government fines or temporary closure of our Chinese plants. We have established and enacted an investment plan to address the regulatory changes in order to come into full compliance during the interim period. There can be no assurance that violations will not occur in the future.

Employee theft or fraud could result in loss.

Certain of our employees have access to, or signature authority with respect to, bank accounts or other company assets, which could expose us to fraud or theft. In addition, certain employees have access to key IT infrastructure and to customer and other information that is commercially valuable. Should any employee, for any reason, compromise our IT systems, or misappropriate customer or other information, we could incur losses, including losses relating to claims by our customers against us, the willingness of customers to do business with us may be damaged and, in the case of our defense business, we could be debarred from future participation in government programs. Any such losses may not be fully covered by insurance.

41

Because we sell on a purchase order basis, we are subject to uncertainties and variability in demand by our customers that could decrease revenues and harm our operating results.

Although we have long-term contracts with many customers, those contracts generally do not contain volume commitments. We generally sell to customers on a purchase order basis. Our quick-turn orders are subject to particularly short lead times. Consequently, our sales are subject to short-term variability in demand by our customers. Customers submitting purchase orders may cancel, reduce, or delay their orders for a variety of reasons. The level and timing of orders placed by our customers may vary due to:

• customer attempts to manage inventory;

• changes in customers’ manufacturing strategies, such as a decision by a customer to either diversify or consolidate the number of PCB manufacturers or backplane assembly service providers used or to manufacture or assemble its own products internally;

• variation in demand for our customers’ products; and

• changes in new product introductions.

We have periodically experienced terminations, reductions, and delays in our customers’ orders. Further terminations, reductions, or delays in our customers’ orders could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Increasingly, our larger customers are requesting that we enter into supply agreements with them that have restrictive terms and conditions. These agreements typically include provisions that increase our financial exposure, which could result in significant costs to us.

Increasingly, our larger customers are requesting that we enter into supply agreements with them. These agreements typically do not include volume commitments, but do include provisions that generally serve to increase our exposure for product liability and limited sales returns, which could result in higher costs to us as a result of such claims. In addition, these agreements typically contain provisions that seek to limit our operational and pricing flexibility and extend payment terms, which can adversely impact our cash flow and results of operations.

Our business has benefited from OEMs deciding to outsource their PCB manufacturing and backplane assembly needs to us. If OEMs choose to provide these services in-house or select other providers, our business could suffer.

Our future revenue growth partially depends on new outsourcing opportunities from OEMs. Current and prospective customers continuously evaluate our performance against other providers. They also evaluate the potential benefits of manufacturing their products themselves. To the extent that outsourcing opportunities are not available either due to OEM decisions to produce these products themselves or to use other providers, our financial results and future growth could be adversely affected.

Consolidation among our customers could adversely affect our business.

Recently, some of our large customers have consolidated, and further consolidation of customers may occur. Depending on which organization becomes the controller of the supply chain function following the consolidation, we may not be retained as a preferred or approved supplier. In addition, product duplication could result in the termination of a product line that we currently support. While there is potential for increasing our position with the combined customer, there does exist the potential for decreased revenue if we are not retained as a continuing supplier. We also face the risk of increased pricing pressure from the combined customer because of its increased market share.

We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers and to credit exposures in weakened markets.

Most of our sales are on an “open credit” basis, with standard industry payment terms. We monitor individual customer payment capability in granting such open credit arrangements, seek to limit such open credit to amounts we believe the customers can pay, and maintain reserves we believe are adequate to cover exposure for doubtful accounts. During periods of economic downturn in the electronics industry and the global economy, our exposure to credit risks from our customers increases. Although we have programs in place to monitor and mitigate the associated risks, such programs may not be effective in reducing our credit risks.

Our 10 largest OEM customers accounted for approximately 58% and 56% of our net sales for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, our OEM customers often direct a significant portion of their purchases through a relatively limited number of EMS companies. Sales to EMS companies represented approximately 39% and 38% of our net sales for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Our contractual relationship is often with the EMS companies, who are obligated to pay us for our products. Because we expect our OEM customers to continue to direct our sales to EMS companies, we expect to continue to be subject to this credit risk with a limited number of EMS customers. If one or more of our significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay us, our results of operations would be harmed.

42

We rely on suppliers for the timely delivery of raw materials and components used in manufacturing our PCBs and backplane assemblies. If a raw material supplier fails to satisfy our product quality standards, it could harm our customer relationships.

Although we have preferred suppliers for most of our raw materials, the materials we use are generally readily available in the open market, and other potential suppliers exist. The components for backplane assemblies in some cases have limited or sole sources of supply. Consolidations and restructuring in our supplier base may result in adverse materials pricing due to reduction in competition among our suppliers. Furthermore, if a raw material or component supplier fails to satisfy our product quality standards, including standards relating to “conflict minerals” (discussed above in a separate risk factor), it could harm our customer relationships. Suppliers may from time to time extend lead times, limit supplies, or increase prices, due to capacity constraints or other factors, which could harm our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis.

We may need additional capital in the future to fund investments in our operations, refinance our indebtedness and to maintain and grow our business, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Our business is capital-intensive, and our ability to increase revenue, profit, and cash flow depends upon continued capital spending. If we are unable to fund our capital requirements as currently planned, however, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we do not achieve our expected operating results, we would need to reallocate our sources and uses of operating cash flows. This may include borrowing additional funds to service debt payments, which may impair our ability to make investments in our business. Looking ahead at long-term needs, we may need to raise additional funds for a number of purposes, including:

• to fund capital equipment purchases to increase production capacity, expand our technological capabilities and replace aging equipment;

• to refinance our existing indebtedness;

• to fund our operations beyond 2014;

• to fund working capital requirements for future growth that we may experience;

• to enhance or expand the range of services we offer;

• to increase our sales and marketing activities; or

• to respond to competitive pressures or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition and international expansion activities.

Should we need to raise funds through incurring additional debt, we may become subject to covenants even more restrictive than those contained in our current debt instruments. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity, our equity holders would suffer dilution. There can be no assurance that additional capital would be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, our business and financial results could suffer.

Our Asia Pacific operations could be adversely affected by a shortage of utilities or a discontinuation of priority supply status offered for such utilities.

The manufacturing of PCBs requires significant quantities of electricity and water. Our Asia Pacific operations have historically purchased substantially all of the electrical power for their manufacturing plants in China from local power plants. Because China’s economy has recently been in a state of growth, the strain on the nation’s power plants is increasing, which has led to continuing power outages in various parts of the country. There may be times when our operations in China may be unable to obtain adequate sources of electricity to meet production requirements. Additionally, we would not likely maintain any back-up power generation facilities for our operations, so if we were to lose power at any of our facilities, we would be required to cease operations until power was restored. Any stoppage of power could adversely affect our ability to meet our customers’ orders in a timely manner, thus potentially resulting in a loss of business and increased costs of manufacturing. In addition, the sudden cessation of power supply could damage our equipment, resulting in the need for costly repairs or maintenance as well as damage to products in production, resulting in an increase in scrapped products. Similarly, the sudden cessation of the water supply to Chinese facilities could adversely affect our ability to fulfill orders in a timely manner, potentially resulting in a loss of business and under-utilization of capacity. Various regions in China have in the past experienced shortages of both electricity and water and unexpected interruptions of power supply. From time to time, the Chinese government rations electrical power, which can lead to unscheduled production interruptions in our manufacturing facilities. There can be no assurance that our required utilities would not in the future experience material interruptions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

43

Outages, computer viruses, break-ins and similar events could disrupt our operations, and breaches of our security systems may cause us to incur significant legal and financial exposure.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, some of which are owned and operated by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for a variety of functions, including worldwide financial reporting, inventory management, procurement, invoicing and email communications. Any of these systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks and similar events. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems and those of third parties on which we rely may also be vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions. If we or our vendors are unable to prevent such outages and breaches, our operations could be disrupted. If unauthorized parties gain access to our information systems or such information is used in an unauthorized manner, misdirected, lost or stolen during transmission, any theft or misuse of such information could result in, among other things, unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and oversight, difficulty in marketing our services, allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations, litigation by affected parties and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business may suffer if any of our key senior executives discontinues employment with us or if we are unable to recruit and retain highly skilled engineering and sales staff.

Our future success depends to a large extent on the services of our key managerial employees. We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified management in the future. We can make no assurances that future changes in executive management will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our business also depends on our continuing ability to recruit, train, and retain highly qualified employees, particularly engineering and sales and marketing personnel. The competition for these employees is intense, and the loss of these employees could harm our business. Further, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies depends in part on our ability to retain key management and existing employees at the time of the acquisition.

Our manufacturing processes depend on the collective industry experience of our employees. If a significant number of these employees were to leave us, it could limit our ability to compete effectively and could harm our financial results.

We have limited patent or trade secret protection for our manufacturing processes. We rely on the collective experience of our employees involved in our manufacturing processes to ensure we continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies in our industry. Although we are not dependent on any one employee or a small number of employees, if a significant number of our employees involved in our manufacturing processes were to leave our employment, and we were not able to replace these people with new employees with comparable experience, our manufacturing processes might suffer as we might be unable to keep up with innovations in the industry. As a result, we may lose our ability to continue to compete effectively.

We may be exposed to intellectual property infringement claims by third parties that could be costly to defend, could divert management’s attention and resources, and if successful, could result in liability.

We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions, and other measures to protect our proprietary information. All of these measures afford only limited protection. These measures may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged, and others may develop technologies or processes that are similar or superior to our technology. We may not have the controls and procedures in place that are needed to adequately protect proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy our products or obtain or use information that we regard as proprietary, which could adversely impact our revenues and financial condition.

Furthermore, there is a risk that we may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. As is the case with many other companies in the PCB industry, we from time to time receive communications from third parties asserting patent rights to our products and enter into discussions with such third parties. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we could incur costs in either defending or settling any intellectual property disputes alleging infringement. If any claims are brought against the customers for such infringement, whether or not these have merit, we could be required to expend significant resources in defending such claims. In the event we are subject to any infringement claims, we may be required to spend a significant amount of money to develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such alternatives or in obtaining such licenses on reasonable terms or at all, which could disrupt the production processes, damage our reputation, and affect our revenues and financial condition.

44

Our business and operations could be adversely impacted by climate change initiatives.

Our manufacturing processes require that we purchase significant quantities of energy from third parties, which results in the generation of greenhouse gases, either directly on-site or indirectly at electric utilities. Both domestic and international legislation to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions could create increases in energy costs and price volatility. Considerable international attention is now focused on development of an international policy framework to guide international action to address climate change. Proposed and existing legislative efforts to control or limit greenhouse gas emissions could affect our energy sources and supply choices as well as increase the cost of energy and raw materials derived from sources that generate greenhouse gas emissions.

CERTIFICATION

I, Thomas T. Edman, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of TTM Technologies, Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d- 15(f)) for the registrant and have:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an update that would require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendment on January 1, 2014, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Acquisition of Viasystems Group, Inc.

(2) Acquisition of Viasystems Group, Inc.

On September 21, 2014, TTM, Viasystems Group, Inc. (Viasystems), and Vector Acquisition Corp. (Merger Sub) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) under which TTM will acquire all outstanding shares of Viasystems (the Merger) for a combined consideration of $11.33 in cash and 0.706 shares of TTM common stock per outstanding share of Viasystems common stock, which based on the closing market price on September 19, 2014 was valued at $16.46 per share of Viasystems common stock, or approximately $368 million. The total enterprise value of the transaction, including the assumption of debt, is approximately $927 million which was based on the closing market price on September 19, 2014 and is subject to change prior to the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement provides that Viasystems is entitled to receive a reverse breakup fee of $40 million from TTM in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated following specific conditions.

On September 30, 2014, in conjunction with TTM’s announcement of the execution of a definitive agreement with Viasystems, TTM was named in a class action complaint filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. On October 13, 2014, TTM was named in a similar class action complaint filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Both suits were filed on behalf of the public stockholders of Viasystems against Viasystems’ board of directors for breaches of fiduciary duties arising out of their attempt to sell Viasystems to TTM, and against TTM for aiding and abetting such breaches of fiduciary duties. TTM cannot assess the potential outcomes of these class action complaints at this time. See Note 12 to these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Bank fees and legal and accounting costs associated with the acquisition of Viasystems of $1,632 for the quarter ended September 29, 2014 have been expensed and recorded as general and administrative expense in the consolidated condensed statement of operations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

TTM Technologies, Inc. (the Company or TTM) is a leading global provider of time-critical and technologically complex printed circuit board (PCB) products and backplane assemblies (PCBs populated with electronic components), which serve as the foundation of sophisticated electronic products. The Company provides advanced technology products and offers a one-stop manufacturing solution to customers from engineering support to prototype development through final volume production. The Company serves a diversified customer base in various markets throughout the world, including manufacturers of networking/communications infrastructure products, touch screen tablets and smartphones. The Company also serves aerospace and defense, high-end computing, and industrial/medical industries. The Company’s customers include both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company uses a 13-week fiscal quarter accounting period with the fourth quarter ending on the Monday nearest December 31.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an update that would require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendment on January 1, 2014, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Fair Value Measures

(11) Fair Value Measures

The Company measures at fair value its financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.

At September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the following financial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the type of inputs shown:

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal matters, which it considers normal for its business activities. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any reasonably possible or probable loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period. The Company has accrued amounts for its loss contingencies which are probable and estimable at September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013. However, these amounts are not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.

Class Action Complaints related to Viasystems Acquisition

Since the public announcement on September 22, 2014 of the execution of the Merger Agreement, Viasystems, TTM, Merger Sub, and the members of the Viasystems Board have been named as defendants in two putative class action complaints challenging the Merger. The first lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri on September 30, 2014 (the Missouri Lawsuit), and the second lawsuit, filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2014 (the Delaware Lawsuit and, together with the Missouri Lawsuit, the Lawsuits), generally allege that the Merger fails to properly value Viasystems, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in approving the Merger Agreement, and that those breaches were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems.

The Delaware Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the Viasystems Board breached its fiduciary duties by: (a) agreeing to the Merger for grossly inadequate consideration, (b) agreeing to lock up the Merger with deal protection devices that prevent other bidders from making a successful competing offer for Viasystems, and (c) participating in a transaction where the loyalties of the Viasystems Board and management are divided; (2) the voting agreements entered into between the Company and certain of Viasystems’ significant stockholders prevent Viasystems stockholders from providing a meaningful vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger; and (3) that those breaches of fiduciary duties were aided and abetted by TTM, Merger Sub, and Viasystems. Further, the Missouri Lawsuit specifically alleges, among other allegations, that (1) the proposed Merger is unfair and the consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is inadequate; (2) the Viasystems Board and Viasystems’ management have a conflict of interest due to the cash pool bonus and change in control payments to be made to certain executive officers and key employees if the Merger is consummated; and (3) the Merger Agreement contains impermissible deal protection devices.

The Lawsuits seek injunctive relief to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement or any of the terms therein, costs and disbursements and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, as well as other equitable relief as the respective court deems proper. The Delaware Lawsuit also seeks: (1) in the event the Merger is consummated prior to the entry of the court’s final judgment, rescissory damages as an alternative to rescission, and (2) an accounting by all defendants to the plaintiff and other members of the class for all damages caused by the defendants and for all profits and any special benefits obtained as a result of their alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. TTM believes the Lawsuits are without merit.

Environmental Matters

The process to manufacture PCBs requires adherence to city, county, state, federal and foreign environmental regulations regarding the storage, use, handling and disposal of chemicals, solid wastes and other hazardous materials as well as compliance with air quality standards and chemical use reporting. The Company believes that its facilities in the United States comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. In China, governmental authorities have adopted new rules and regulations governing environmental issues. An update to Chinese environmental water waste law was issued in late 2012, but allows for an interim period in which plants subject to such law may install equipment that meets the new regulatory regime and come into full compliance with the new laws in 2014 and 2015, depending on the province of China in which such plant is located. The Company’s plants in China are not yet in full compliance with the newly adopted environmental regulations as updated in late 2012. The Company expects to come into compliance and does not anticipate any immediate risk of government fines or temporary closure of its Chinese plants. The Company has established and enacted an investment plan, which includes capital expenditures estimated to be approximately $15, 000 through 2015, to address the regulatory changes in order to come into full compliance during the interim period.

Convertible Senior Notes

Convertible Senior Notes

(6) Convertible Senior Notes

Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

In December 2013, the Company issued 1.75% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2020, in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $220,000. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to the Company’s future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

In January 2014, the Company closed the sale of an additional $30,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (Additional Notes). The Additional Notes were sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option granted by the Company in the underwriting agreement related to the offer and sale of $220,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2020.

In connection with the offering of the Additional Notes, the Company entered into additional convertible note hedge and warrant transactions (Additional Call Spread Transaction) with respect to shares of its common stock. The additional convertible note hedge, which cost an aggregate $7,953 and was recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, consists of the Company’s option to purchase up to 3,100 common stock shares at a price of $9.64 per share and will expire upon the maturity of the notes. Additionally, the Company sold warrants to purchase 3,100 shares of its common stock at a price of $14.26 per share. The warrants expire ratably from March 2021 through January 2022. The proceeds from the sale of warrants of $4,053 was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The 2020 Additional Call Spread Transaction has no effect on the terms of the convertible senior notes due 2020 and reduces potential dilution by effectively increasing the conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2020 to $14.26 per share of the Company’s common stock.

The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion, including the effect of a fundamental change and subject to Other Conversion Rate Adjustments, would be 32,425.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

In May 2008, the Company issued 3.25% convertible senior notes due May 15, 2015, in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $175,000. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally to the Company’s future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

In January 2014, the Company repurchased $6,514 of notes at approximately 103.4% of their principal amount. The repurchase of the convertible senior notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and accordingly, the Company recognized a $506 loss primarily associated with the premium paid to repurchase the convertible senior notes and the recognition of certain remaining unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion, including the effect of a fundamental change and subject to Other Conversion Rate Adjustments, would be 2,587.

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the following summarizes the liability and equity components of the convertible senior notes:

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, remaining unamortized debt issuance costs included in other non-current assets were $5,580 and $5,399, respectively. The debt issuance costs and debt discount are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible senior notes using the effective interest rate method. At September 29, 2014, the remaining weighted average amortization period for the unamortized senior convertible note discount and debt issuance costs was 6.1 years.

For the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the 2020 convertible senior notes and the 2015 convertible senior notes is based on an effective interest rate of 6.48% and 8.37%, respectively. For the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013, the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the 2015 convertible senior notes is based on an effective interest rate of 8.37%.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, potential shares of common stock, consisting of stock options to purchase approximately 954 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.78 to $16.82 per share, 1,551 restricted stock units, and 118 performance-based restricted stock units were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss from operations and, as a result, the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the effect of 27,970 shares of common stock, related to the Company’s convertible senior notes and warrants to purchase 28,020 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013, the effect of 10,963 shares of common stock, related to the Company’s convertible senior notes and warrants to purchase 10,963 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Income Taxes

(7) Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $379 and $3,365 for the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an income tax benefit of $968 for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and a provision for income taxes of $13,494 for the three quarters ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s provision for income taxes reflects the benefits of earnings from the Company’s operations in lower-tax jurisdictions in China, the apportioned state income tax rates, generation of other credits and deductions, and certain non-deductible items.

During the quarter ended September 29, 2014, the Company’s provision for income taxes was impacted by losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recorded as a result of full valuation allowances. In addition, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits resulting from the research and development deduction at a Chinese subsidiary within the Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment and changes in estimates resulting from the completion of the Company’s 2013 federal income tax return. During the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the Company’s provision for income taxes was further impacted by a discrete tax benefit resulting from the retroactive approval of the high technology enterprise status for certain Chinese subsidiaries within the Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013 was impacted by the impairment of property, plant and equipment related to a plant closure in China which resulted in no related tax benefit. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2013, a state law was enacted that significantly reduced the carryforward period of certain state tax credits. As a result, a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $3.3 million generated a discrete tax item for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013.

Certain foreign losses generated are not more than likely to be realizable, and thus, no income tax benefit has been recognized on these losses. The Company’s foreign earnings attributable to the Asia Pacific operating segment will be permanently reinvested in such foreign jurisdictions and, therefore, no deferred tax liabilities for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings are recorded.

Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce the volatility of purchases and other obligations generated in currencies other than the functional currencies. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may at times purchase forward exchange contracts to manage their foreign currency risks in relation to certain purchases of machinery denominated in foreign currencies other than the Company’s foreign functional currency. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013 was approximately $30,379 and $47,000, respectively. The Company has designated certain of these foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges.

Convertible senior notes due 2020		195,234		243,725		167,167		237,050

The fair value of available for sale securities was determined using quoted market prices for the securities on an active exchange.

The fair value of the derivative instruments was determined using pricing models developed based on the LIBOR swap rate, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable market data, including quoted market prices, as appropriate. The values were adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of the counterparty and the Company, as necessary.

The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated based on discounting the debt over its life using current market rates for similar debt as of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013.

The fair value of the convertible senior notes was estimated based on quoted market prices of the securities on an active exchange, which are considered Level 1 inputs.

As of September 29, 2014 and December 30, 2013, the Company’s other financial instruments also included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and equipment payables. Due to short-term maturities, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

(10) Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to its customers, which are concentrated primarily in the computer, cellular phone, networking and communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Most are located outside the United States, with the exception of aerospace and defense industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the entity from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk.

The Company’s customers include both OEM and EMS companies. The Company’s OEM customers often direct a significant portion of their purchases through EMS companies. While the Company’s customers include both OEM and EMS providers, the Company measures customer concentration based on OEM companies, as they are the ultimate end customers.

For each of the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 23% of the Company’s net sales. For the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 16% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales.

Segment Information

(15) Segment Information

The operating segments reported below are the Company’s segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. The Company manages its worldwide operations based on two geographic operating segments: 1) Asia Pacific, which consists of five PCB fabrication plants and one drilling facility, and 2) North America, which consists of seven domestic PCB fabrication plants, including a facility that provides follow-on value-added services primarily for one of the PCB fabrication plants, and one backplane assembly plant in Shanghai, China, which is managed in conjunction with the Company’s U.S. operations. Each segment operates predominantly in the same industry with production facilities that produce similar customized products for its customers and use similar means of product distribution.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating segment income, which is operating income before amortization of intangibles. Interest expense and interest income are not presented by segment since they are not included in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated. Reportable segment assets exclude short-term investments, which are managed centrally.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

(4) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In conjunction with the closure of its Suzhou, China manufacturing facility in 2013, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets, primarily consisting of held for sale machinery and equipment, were impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets in the amount of $10,782 for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2013 and reclassified such assets to assets held for sale, which were included in other current assets in the December 30, 2013 consolidated condensed balance sheet.

During the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge for additional assets, related to the closure of the Suzhou, China manufacturing facility, which were originally designated to be transferred to other facilities in China as well as the disposal of a substantial portion of the assets held for sale. As a result, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge in the amount of $1,845 during the three quarters ended September 29, 2014, as the carrying value of the assets was greater than the market value at the date of disposal.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

The Company maintains a long-term incentive program for executives that provides for the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units (PRUs), representing hypothetical shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued. Under the PRU program, a target number of PRUs is awarded at the beginning of each three-year performance period. The number of shares of common stock released at the end of the performance period will range from zero to 2.4 times the target number depending on performance during the period. The performance metrics of the PRU program are based on (a) annual financial targets, which are based on revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization expense), each equally weighted, and (b) an overall modifier based on the Company’s total stockholder return (TSR) relative to the S&P SmallCap 600 for PRUs granted in 2012, and, for PRUs granted in 2013 and 2014, a group of peer companies selected by the Company’s compensation committee, over the three-year performance period.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for PRU awards granted based on management’s periodic assessment of the probability of the PRU awards vesting. PRUs activity for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 was as follows:

	Shares
	(In thousands)
Outstanding target shares at December 30, 2013		353
Granted:
Third tranche of 2012 grant		59
Second tranche of 2013 grant		113
First tranche of 2014 grant		86
Change in units due to annual performance achievement		(42	)
Vested		(90	)
Forfeitures / cancellations		(34	)
Outstanding target shares at September 29, 2014		445

The fair value for PRUs granted is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, as the TSR modifier contains a market condition. For the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the following assumptions were used in determining the fair value:

	September  29, 20141			September  30, 20132
Weighted-average fair value	$	5.80		$	6.79
Risk-free interest rate		0.4	%		0.3	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected volatility		41	%		49	%
Expected term in months		23			25

(1) Reflects the weighted-averages for the third year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2012, the second year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2013 and the first year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2014.

(2) Reflects the weighted-averages for the third year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2011, the second year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2012 and the first year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in 2013.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted 833 and 894 restricted stock units during the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The units granted have a weighted-average fair value per unit of $8.00 and $8.17 for the three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The fair value for restricted stock units granted is based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. There were no restricted stock units granted during the quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

Stock Options

The Company did not grant any stock option awards during the quarter or three quarters ended September 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013.
