Santa Ana, CA – May 9, 2025—TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTMI) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program allowing the Company to repurchase its outstanding common stock with an aggregate market value of up to $100 million from time to time through May 7, 2027. The Company’s previous two-year repurchase program expired on May 3, 2025.
“Given the company’s solid cash flow generation and strong balance sheet, we believe repurchasing shares is a prudent use of capital,” said Dan Boehle, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “While strategic acquisitions remain a primary goal for the use of our free cash flow, this authorization provides us with added flexibility to enhance shareholder value.”
The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on various factors, such as available liquidity, cash flows and general market conditions. The repurchase program may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and other methods, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion without prior notice.
