Executive Management Comments
Dan Batrack, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Tetra
Tech began fiscal 2026 with a strong first quarter as net revenue was up 8% and EPS up 17%. Subsequent to the first quarter, we announced
two strategic acquisitions, further expanding our front-end consulting business for our defense clients. As expected, our margin increased
by 80 basis points, with our higher margin front-end advisory and technical consulting business growing at a double-digit rate. With
the promotion of Roger Argus to CEO effective after our annual shareholders meeting, I see continued progress toward achieving our
2030 vision and direction and the associated financial targets.”
Roger Argus, President and CEO-designate, stated,
“We continued to see significant demand for our differentiated services in water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure across
our global operations. During the quarter, we grew our government business with municipal water and defense clients, and on the commercial
side, we saw an increase in power and transmission projects to support energy demand. As a result, we are increasing our guidance for
2026 and are well positioned to achieve our 2030 goals.”

2 Reconciliation
of the net revenue guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available
without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the magnitude and timing
of all the components, including subcontractor costs, required to provide such reconciliation
with sufficient precision.
3 The
only adjustments in our guidance for EPS are to exclude the gain on business disposition
and contingent consideration in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial results presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial
measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We provide these non-GAAP financial
measures because we believe they provide a valuable perspective on our financial results. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations
as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation and are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP measures. In
addition, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently which limits the ability of investors to compare non-GAAP measures
of Tetra Tech to those used by our peer companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures is set forth above in this release.
