Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

Second Quarter Results

 

Tetra Tech achieved its best quarterly results in the Company’s history with record revenue, income, cash flow and backlog.  Revenue in the second quarter totaled $723 million.  Revenue, net of subcontractor costs(1) (net revenue), in the second quarter totaled $585 million, up organically 10% year-over-year.  Operating income for the second quarter was $48 million, up 11% year-over-year.  EPS was $1.00 on a GAAP basis, up 96% year-over-year; however, excluding a non-recurring tax benefit, adjusted EPS(1) was $0.70, up 30% year-over-year.  Backlog at the end of the quarter was a record $2.81 billion, up 12% year-over-year.  Record cash flow from operations was $115 million, up 41% year-over-year.

 

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

 

On April 29, 2019, Tetra Tech’s Board of Directors declared a 25% increase in the quarterly dividend, raising it to $0.15 per share payable on May 31, 2019 to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2019.  In the second quarter, Tetra Tech repurchased $25 million of common stock.  Additionally, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had $175 million remaining under the approved share repurchase program.

 

Comments on Results

 

Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack, commented, “Tetra Tech had another strong quarter, exceeding the high end of our guidance range for both net revenue and earnings.  Our double-digit organic growth for the quarter was driven by continued strong demand across our end-markets for our consulting and engineering services focused on water, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure.  The addition of eGlobalTech further advances our growth strategy and the integration of emerging technology into our high-end consulting services for our clients. Given the strength of our results and record backlog of more than $2.8 billion, we are increasing our guidance for both EPS and net revenue for fiscal 2019.”

 


(1)  Net revenue and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes provide valuable perspectives on its business results. Refer to Reconciliation of Revenue and Operating Results tables.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The use of words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “could,” “may,” “intend,” “plan” and “believe,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available operating, financial, economic and other information, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results.  A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual future results or events to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements in this release, including but not limited to: continuing worldwide political and economic uncertainties; the U.S. Administration’s potential changes to fiscal policies; the cyclicality in demand for our overall services; the fluctuation in demand for oil and gas, and mining services; risks related to international operations; concentration of revenues from U.S. government agencies and potential funding disruptions by these agencies; dependence on winning or renewing U.S. government contracts; the delay or unavailability of public funding on U.S. government contracts; the U.S. government’s right to modify, delay, curtail or terminate contracts at its convenience; compliance with government procurement laws and regulations; credit risks associated with certain clients in certain geographic areas or industries; acquisition strategy and integration risks; goodwill or other intangible asset impairment; the failure to comply with worldwide anti-bribery laws; the failure to comply with domestic and international export laws; the failure to properly manage projects; the loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability of our employees to obtain government granted eligibility; the use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements; the ability to maintain adequate workforce utilization; the use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the inability to accurately estimate and control contract costs; the failure to adequately recover on our claims for additional contract costs; the failure to win or renew contracts with private and public sector clients; growth strategy management; backlog cancellation and adjustments; risks relating to cyber security breaches; the failure of partners to perform on joint projects; the failure of subcontractors to satisfy their obligations; requirements to pay liquidated damages based on contract performance; the adoption of new legal requirements; changes in resource management, environmental or infrastructure industry laws, regulations or programs; changes in capital markets and the access to capital; credit agreement covenants; industry competition; liability related to legal proceedings, investigations, and disputes; the availability of third-party insurance coverage; the ability to obtain adequate bonding; employee, agent, or partner misconduct; employee risks related to international travel; safety programs; conflict of interest issues; liabilities relating to reports and opinions; liabilities relating to environmental laws and regulations; force majeure events; protection of intellectual property rights; stock price volatility; the ability to impede a business combination based on Delaware law and charter documents; and other risks and uncertainties as may be described in Tetra Tech’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of Tetra Tech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, and Tetra Tech’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal year 2019, as well as in Tetra Tech’s other filings with the SEC.  Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since such information speaks only as of the date of this release. Tetra Tech does not intend to update forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so.

 

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.
