Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by TTM Technologies, Inc. on April 29, 2020. The report details a Board-approved restructuring plan for the company's Electro-Mechanical (E-MS) business unit, which operates three manufacturing facilities in China (two in Shanghai and one in Shenzhen).
Key Financial Metrics
The filing discloses specific costs associated with the restructuring plan but does not provide broader financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or total debt for the period.
- Estimated Cash Outlay: Approximately $17 million for severance and shutdown costs.
- Estimated Non-Cash Charges: Approximately $8 million for asset impairments.
- Total Estimated Restructuring Cost: Approximately $25 million.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the strategic decision to discontinue operations at the Shanghai E-MS (SH E-MS) and Shenzhen (SZ) facilities. The Shanghai BPA (SH BPA) facility will be integrated into the company's PCB operations. These actions represent a significant contraction of the E-MS business unit.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

The filing includes standard forward-looking statements cautioning that actual results may differ materially from predictions due to risks and uncertainties beyond the company's control.
