Chairman and CEO Comments

Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO Dan Batrack, commented, “Tetra Tech had a strong start to fiscal 2022 with record first quarter revenue, earnings, and cash flow. Our performance was driven by double digit revenue growth and a 120-basis point expansion in operating margin. We continue to expand our differentiated technical services by Leading with Science® to respond to the increasing global demand to address water, environmental and climate change priorities. Given the strength of our performance, as well as achieving a record high first quarter backlog, we are increasing our guidance outlook for both net revenue and EPS for fiscal 2022.”

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 included in this release.
