Downers Grove, Illinois, July 28, 2009 – ATC Technology Corporation (ATC)

(NASDAQ-GS:ATAC), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2009.

Second Quarter Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, revenue decreased 12.6% to $118.5 million from $135.6 million for the same period in 2008. Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 was $16.6 million versus income of $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. During the second quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $37 million related to the impending loss of its Honda automatic transmission remanufacturing program and a $2.1 million restructuring charge in its Drivetrain segment. Loss per share from continuing operations for the quarter was $0.85, as compared to earnings of $0.42 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008. On an adjusted basis, excluding the goodwill impairment and restructuring costs, earnings were $0.54 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009. The Company expects to record additional restructuring charges of $1.5 million in the Drivetrain segment during the second half of this year.

The Company’s Logistics segment’s revenue for the quarter decreased 1.8% to $84.9 million from $86.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. Logistics segment profit for the quarter increased 37.7% to $15.7 million from $11.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase in profit was primarily attributable to a favorable mix of services and the benefit of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

The Company’s Drivetrain segment’s revenue decreased 31.6% to $33.6 million, compared to $49.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Adjusted segment profit decreased to $1.6 million for the quarter, compared to segment profit of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Drivetrain results were impacted by across-the-board reduction in volume for all significant customers.

Management Comments

Todd R. Peters, President and CEO said, “During the first half of the year our Logistics segment has delivered better than expected results, as underlying demand for our customers’ products and services remained strong despite a tough market environment. I am also pleased to report that we have launched initial programs with three new brand-name customers in the consumer electronics space. These initial programs provide the opportunity for us to develop longer-term relationships. We have won $29 million in new business year-to-date with new and existing customers. I remain very enthusiastic about new business prospects in our Logistics segment. We also benefited from a favorable mix of services and cost reduction initiatives resulting in solid operating margin performance in the Logistics segment.”

“Revenues for our Drivetrain business were disappointing, as we experienced across-the-board softness with all of the segment’s customers. It is worth noting that profitability in the segment is up sequentially due to benefits beginning to be realized from our restructuring efforts, which began late last year. I am pleased that we have been awarded new business with Chrysler and Subaru to supply remanufactured engines, thereby strengthening our product profile in North America as a natural extension of our core capabilities. These new programs with existing customers are an important element in our efforts to stabilize the Drivetrain business and are expected to contribute approximately $15-$17 million in annualized revenue.”

“Our liquidity remains strong with approximately $99 million in cash as of June 30, 2009 in addition to the $79 million of availability on our $150 million credit facility.”

“While the first half of the year has been challenging, we now expect full year revenue of $485-$505 million. We expect Logistics revenue of $338-$355 million, which reflects the combination of current demand with an anticipated seasonal increase in connection with the holiday season. We expect continued strong margin performance and segment profit of $59-$62 million. For Drivetrain, we expect $147-$150 million in revenue and adjusted segment profit of $6-$7 million. We expect earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.51-$0.61, including charges of $1.54 per share this year for the goodwill impairment and restructuring. Accordingly, our revised 2009 earnings per share guidance on an adjusted basis is $2.05-$2.15,” Peters concluded.

__________________________________________________________________

Explanation of non-GAAP financial measures:

The Company reports its financial results of operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company also provides non-GAAP financial information to complement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. This press release includes such non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of the Company's financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's financial statements.

Following is a description of the various non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company:

Adjusted Income From Continuing Operations: Represents income (loss) from continuing operations (GAAP basis) adjusted to exclude, on an after-tax basis, (i) the Drivetrain impairment of goodwill charges and (ii) the Drivetrain plant closure and restructuring costs.

Adjusted Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Share: Represents income (loss) from continuing operations per share (GAAP basis) adjusted to exclude, on an after-tax basis per diluted share, (i) the Drivetrain impairment of goodwill charges and (ii) the Drivetrain plant closure and restructuring costs.

Adjusted Segment profit: Represents segment profit (loss) (GAAP basis) adjusted to exclude (i) the Drivetrain impairment of goodwill charges and (ii) the Drivetrain plant closure and restructuring costs.

Free Cash Flow: Represents net cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations reduced by purchases of property, plant and equipment.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, investors, equity analysts, and rating agencies with useful information by which to measure our performance. In addition, many of the Company’s internal performance measures are based on these non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may vary from similar titled measures of other companies because of differences in the way the measures are calculated and therefore should not be used to compare the Company’s performance to that of other companies.

Whenever the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is made available. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company are not intended to supercede or replace the Company’s GAAP results or expectations.
