Chairman and CEO Comments

Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack, commented, "Tetra Tech delivered another quarter of record financial performance driven by our differentiated Leading with Science^® services in water, environment and sustainable infrastructure. We are seeing increasing demand from both our commercial and government clients to address the impacts of climate change including water scarcity, infrastructure vulnerability, and environmental degradation. This has resulted in a significant broad-based increase in project awards from our key clients in North America, U.K., and Australia. The combination with RPS is exceeding our expectations, including the speed of margin expansion and the identification of revenue synergies. Based on our strong performance and record high backlog, we are increasing our net revenue and earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2023."

Nine-Month Results

Revenue for the nine-month period was $3.26 billion and net revenue was $2.69 billion, up 25% and 28%, respectively, over the same period in fiscal 2022. EBITDA was $328 million, up 26%.

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. The Company is relying on the exception provided in the applicable SEC rules to exclude the reconciliation of adjusted EPS to EPS for future outlook, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, since it is not able to predict with sufficient precision acquisition, integration and intangible amortization expenses related to the RPS transaction. Similarly, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of net revenue to revenue since it is not able to predict with sufficient precision subcontractor costs.

For fiscal 2023, Tetra Tech is increasing adjusted EPS guidance to range from $5.22 to $5.27 and is increasing net revenue guidance to range from $3.16 billion to $3.21 billion. Tetra Tech expects adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 to range from $1.40 to $1.45 and net revenue to range from $790 million to $840 million.

RPS is expected to contribute additional net revenue of approximately $175 million in the fourth quarter and $500 million for fiscal 2023. The impact to adjusted EPS, excluding acquisition, integration and intangible amortization expenses, is expected to be approximately $0.03 accretive for the fourth quarter and $0.01 accretive for fiscal 2023.

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.
