Tetra Tech Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Achieves 20% EPS, 10% Revenue, and 20% Backlog Growth

 

Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The Company exceeded its earnings and revenue guidance for the quarter, delivering growth of 20.0% and 9.9% in EPS and revenue, respectively, and achieving new record backlog.

 

Fourth Quarter Results

 

Revenue in the quarter was $434.8 million, up 9.9% from $395.6 million, and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was $275.5 million, up 9.8% from $250.9 million for the same quarter last year.  Income from operations for the quarter was $24.5 million, up 22.3% from $20.0 million for the same quarter last year.  Net income for the quarter was $14.1 million, up 19.7% from $11.8 million for the same quarter last year.  Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $0.24.  This represents a 20.0% increase from $0.20 for the same quarter last year.  Backlog at the end of the quarter was a record $1.26 billion, up 19.8% from $1.05 billion at the end of the same quarter last year.  Cash provided by operations for the quarter was $34.5 million, up 23.0% from $28.0 million for the same quarter last year.

 

Compared to the same quarter last year, the resource management segment experienced strong growth in revenue, net of subcontractor costs, driven primarily by robust state and local government markets.  The infrastructure segment also experienced growth in revenue, net of subcontractor costs, primarily as a result of increased commercial work.

 

Fiscal Year Results

 

Revenue for fiscal 2007 was a record $1.55 billion, up 9.8% from $1.41 billion, and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was a record $1.01 billion, up 5.7% from $958.6 million for the same period last year.  Income from operations for fiscal 2007 was a record $86.3 million, up 24.2% from $69.5 million for the same period last year.  Net income for fiscal 2007 was $46.4 million, up 26.6% from $36.6 million for the same period last year.  Diluted EPS for fiscal 2007 was $0.79, up 25.4% from $0.63 for the same period last year.

 

Tetra Tech CEO Dan Batrack commented, “We are pleased with our strong performance in the fourth quarter, which capped a solid year of growth and record accomplishments at Tetra Tech.  Each of our business segments performed well, and we continued to win major key contracts.  We are also pleased to report on the continued strong, broad-based demand for our services, which resulted in new record backlog of over $1.2 billion.  Moreover, our operating margin continued to improve as planned, we achieved strong cash generation in the quarter and the fiscal year, and we made several strategic acquisitions in the fiscal year which will contribute to our future success.”
