Capital Allocation, Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

 

On May 5, 2025, Tetra Tech’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 44th consecutive quarterly dividend at an amount of $0.065 per share, a 12% increase year-over-year, payable on June 5, 2025, to stockholders of record as of May 23, 2025.

 

In the second quarter, Tetra Tech repurchased $150 million of common stock. Furthermore, the Board approved an additional $500 million share repurchase program. Together with the $173 million remaining under the previously approved program at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company had $673 million available for share repurchase.

 

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on May 5, 2025, Tetra Tech entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a total borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion that will mature in May 2030.

 

Chairman and CEO Comments

 

Dan Batrack, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We generated record second quarter results for revenue and net income despite the decrease in revenue associated with the reorganization of USAID. Our growth in State and Local, U.S. Commercial, and International revenues more than offset this headwind, which resulted in net revenue and EPS exceeding consensus and the upper end of our guidance range for the quarter. We are seeing significant demand for our differentiated Leading with Science® services in our water and environmental markets, including our high-end digital automation services for our municipal and commercial clients.

 

“In the last month, we announced strategic acquisitions expanding our global digital technology and program management businesses. Based on our strong performance, we increased our dividend by 12% and expanded our stock buyback program by an additional $500 million. With record year-to-date performance and a strong outlook, we are raising our FY25 guidance for net revenue and EPS.”

 

 

 

 

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.

 

During the quarter, we were notified that virtually all our contracts with USAID were terminated for convenience. Consequently, we performed an interim impairment review of the goodwill in our Global Development Services division. As a result, we reduced backlog by the value of the terminated contracts and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $92.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Tetra Tech has updated its guidance for fiscal year 2025 based on its current outlook, which includes the expected impact of the ongoing U.S. federal government review process.

 

For fiscal 2025, Tetra Tech is increasing full year guidance for net revenue2 to range from $4.400 billion to $4.765 billion and is increasing adjusted EPS3 guidance to range from $1.42 to $1.52. For the third quarter in fiscal 2025, Tetra Tech expects net revenue to range from $1.10 billion to $1.20 billion and EPS to range from $0.35 to $0.40.

Investors will have the opportunity to access a live audio-visual webcast and supplemental financial information concerning the second quarter of fiscal 2025 results through a link posted on the Company’s website at tetratech.com on May 8, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. (PT).

 

 

2 Reconciliation of the net revenue guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the magnitude and timing of all the components, including subcontractor costs, required to provide such reconciliation with sufficient precision.

3 The adjustments in our guidance for EPS are to exclude the legal contingency of $0.35 and goodwill impairment of $0.31.

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 set forth above in this release.
