In U.S. federal, we saw increased orders from defense agencies related to new facilities and infrastructure modernization. Our high-end consulting services for providing water supplies and mitigating environmental impacts are increasingly critical to gaining community support for the establishment of data centers. Our international operations grew due to demand for front-end water and infrastructure consulting services. These positive trends led to backlog growth and improved revenue visibility for the remainder of the year, leading to our increased guidance for fiscal 2026.”   Steve Burdick, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Tetra Tech has started off the first half of fiscal 2026 with the strongest cash flow generation on record with $238 million from operations. These exceptional cash flows have consequently provided better returns for shareholders through our stock buyback program, which has returned $100 million so far this year, and our cash dividend program. Our ability to consistently generate cash in excess of net income has allowed the Company to once again increase our quarterly cash dividends by an additional 11% over last year. Cash generated over the last twelve months of $688 million has allowed us to fund acquisitions, complete stock buybacks, and pay dividends, while deleveraging our net debt by more than 25% from this time last year.”   Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program   On April 27, 2026, Tetra Tech’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.072 per share, an 11% increase year-over-year, payable on June 2, 2026, to stockholders of record as of May 14, 2026. This is the 44 th consecutive double-digit increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Tetra Tech repurchased $50 million of common stock. Additionally, as of March 29, 2026, the Company had $498 million remaining under its share repurchase program.   Six-Month Results   Revenue for the six-month period was $2.43 billion and net revenue was $2.09 billion. Net revenue increased 8% Y/Y excluding USAID / DOS and disasters. Operating income was $273 million, EPS was $0.76, and cash flow from operations was $238 million.   Business Outlook   The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and the actual results could differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of transactions that may be completed or developments that become evident after the date of this release. The Business Outlook section should be read in conjunction with the information on forward-looking statements at the end of this release.   For fiscal 2026, Tetra Tech is increasing the full year guidance for net revenue 2 to range from $4.25 billion to $4.40 billion and adjusted EPS 3 to range from $1.50 to $1.58. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Tetra Tech expects net revenue to range from $1.05 billion to $1.10 billion and EPS to range from $0.38 to $0.41.     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 six months of fiscal 2026.         Webcast   Investors will have the opportunity to access a live audio-visual webcast and supplemental financial information concerning the second quarter of fiscal 2026 results through a link posted on the Company’s website at tetratech.com on April 30, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. (PT).   Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Items In thousands (except EPS data)       Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended       March 29, 2026     March 30, 2025     March 29, 2026     March 30, 2025   Revenue   $ 1,220,157     $ 1,322,113     $ 2,430,820     $ 2,742,674   Subcontractor costs     (170,524 )     (218,408 )     (344,011 )     (441,639 ) Net revenue   $ 1,049,633     $ 1,103,705     $ 2,086,809     $ 2,301,035                                     Operating Income   $ 131,523     $ 39,603     $ 272,517     $ 62,129   Contingent consideration     (58 )     (1,931 )     (7,506 )     (2,297 ) Legal contingency     -       -       -       115,000   Goodwill impairment     -       92,416       -       92,416   Adjusted Operating Income   $ 131,465     $ 130,088     $ 265,011     $ 267,248                                     EPS   $ 0.36     $ 0.02     $ 0.76     $ 0.02   Contingent consideration     -       -       (0.02 )     -   Legal contingency     -       -       -       0.35   Goodwill impairment     -       0.31       -       0.31   Gain on divestiture     (0.02 )     -       (0.05 )     -   Adjusted EPS   $ 0.34     $ 0.33     $ 0.69     $ 0.68     About Tetra Tech   Tetra Tech is the leader in water, environment and sustainable infrastructure, providing high-end consulting and engineering services for projects worldwide.

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.         Tetra Tech, Inc.
