Epiq develops open-architecture, AI-enabled software-defined radios (SDRs), high-performance radio frequency products and radiation-tolerant space computing solutions.
Deal Expands Defense Portfolio
TTM said the acquisition will strengthen its integrated electronics business and advance its vertical integration strategy across land, air, sea and space markets.
The deal also expands TTM’s exposure to defense applications. These include missile defense, space, communications and signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Epiq’s technology is designed for applications that require compact systems with lower size, weight and power requirements.
Expects Earnings Boost In 2028
TTM expects the transaction to immediately add to its adjusted EBITDA margin. It also expects the deal to be accretive to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share during 2028.
The company estimates a synergy-adjusted transaction multiple of 17.4 times Epiq’s expected 2027 adjusted EBITDA.
TTM expects net leverage of about 2.3 times when the transaction closes. It plans to reduce leverage to between 1.5 times and 1.7 times within 12 to 18 months.
JPMorgan, Bank of America and Barclays have committed financing for the transaction, subject to customary conditions.
“The addition of Epiq Solutions to TTM is highly strategic and provides complementary technology to our overall portfolio,” TTM CEO Edwin Roks said.
