Executive Management Comments<\/b><\/p>\n
\nRoger Argus, Chief Executive Officer, commented, \u201cWe delivered a strong second quarter, driven by growth across our end markets in water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSteve Burdick, Chief Financial Officer, stated, \u201cTetra 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program<\/b><\/p>\n
\nOn April 27, 2026, Tetra Tech\u2019s 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 44th<\/sup> consecutive double-digit increase in the Company\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Six-Month Results<\/b><\/p>\n
\nRevenue 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.<\/p>\n

Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (\u201cGAAP\u201d), 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<\/i>set forth above in this release.<\/i><\/p>\n
