Reports Second Quarter Results   630.663.8283

Downers Grove, Illinois, Tuesday, July 27, 2010 – ATC Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ-GS: ATAC), today reported financial results for the second quarter 2010.
 
Second Quarter Results
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, revenue decreased 9.6% to $104.4 million from $115.5 million for the same period in 2009.  Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010 was $7.8 million versus a loss of $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2009.  Income from continuing operations per diluted share for the quarter was $0.39, as compared to a loss of $0.85 per share or income of $0.53 per diluted share on an adjusted basis, for the second quarter of 2009.  Additionally, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $5.4 million, or $0.27 per share primarily related to the sale of its U.K.-based engine remanufacturing business.
 
Logistics segment revenue for the second quarter decreased 8.6% to $77.6 million from $84.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Logistics segment profit for the quarter decreased 24.2% to $11.9 million from $15.7 million in the same quarter of last year.  The decreases in revenue and profit were primarily attributable to a reduction in returns volumes with AT&T driven by increased device quality and wider consumer acceptance of smartphones and the impact of price concessions in connection with contract renewals, partially offset by an increase in revenue with TomTom.
 
Drivetrain segment revenue decreased 12.4% to $26.8 million from $30.6 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Second quarter segment loss was $0.4 million compared to a loss of $37.4 million, or segment profit of $1.7 million excluding a goodwill impairment charge of $37.0 million and restructuring charges of $2.1 million in last year’s second quarter.  The decreases were driven by the loss of the Honda transmission remanufacturing program and launch costs associated with new engine remanufacturing programs, which were partially offset by the cost savings attributable to last year’s restructuring of the Drivetrain business.
 
Todd R. Peters, President and CEO said, “On July 19, 2010 we announced that ATC had entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by GENCO Distribution System, Inc. (GENCO), a privately held third-party provider of logistics services for retailers, manufacturers, and U.S. government agencies, in

an all-cash merger valued at $512.6 million.  Our news release, along with our merger agreement and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 19th, highlight various aspects of the proposed transaction.  In light of this recent development, specifically including the pending filing of our proxy statement related to the proposed transaction with GENCO, we will not hold a conference call on July 28th to discuss second quarter results as previously announced.
 
“I am pleased to report that during the second quarter in our Logistics business, we set the stage for growth in the second half of the year.  Although not material to the quarter’s result, we launched new or expanded programs with AT&T, U.S. Cellular, and a leading wireless device manufacturer.  We also won $38 million in new business.  These wins include the expansion of programs with existing customers, new programs with existing customers and a program with a new customer.  While revenue related to returns volumes with AT&T was down, it was in line with our expectations and recent run rate, and we benefitted from strong volumes with TomTom.  Our segment profit for the quarter of $11.9 million or 15.3% of net sales met our expectations.
 
“Also, in early July, we invested $10 million in a joint venture with Genesis Networks Enterprises, LLC (Genesis), a leading minority-owned provider of network, IT and supply chain solutions to the communications industry, to form Genesis-ATC.  Genesis owns 51% of Genesis-ATC and our subsidiary, ATC Logistics & Electronics, Inc., owns the remaining 49%.  Genesis-ATC combines the strengths of two companies to provide value-added distribution services for consumer electronic products such as cable set-top boxes, along with field service support and reverse logistics services to AT&T and other customers.  Genesis-ATC will open a wider range of new business opportunities for both partners.  In certain cases, ATC Logistics & Electronics, Inc. will provide services to Genesis-ATC.
 
“As we previously announced, we sold the U.K.-based operation of our Drivetrain business in May to two senior members of the local management team.  During the quarter, we continued to make significant progress on the launch of the new U.S.-based engine remanufacturing programs.  We remain optimistic that we will achieve our modest profitability targets for the full year.
 
“I refer you to our Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 for additional details on our results.”
 
For further information, please see the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC.
 
ATC Technology Corporation is headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois.  The Company provides comprehensive engineered solutions for logistics and refurbishment services to the consumer electronics industries and the light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle service parts markets.

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 certain of the 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 charge 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 charge and (ii) the Drivetrain plant closure and restructuring costs.  Our earnings per share amounts are calculated under the two-class method of presenting earnings per share for all periods presented, which requires that we allocate a portion of our income to participating securities (outstanding unvested share-based awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends).
 
Adjusted Segment profit:  Represents segment profit (loss) (GAAP basis) adjusted to exclude (i) the Drivetrain impairment of goodwill charge and (ii) the Drivetrain plant closure and restructuring costs.
 
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.
