Executive Management Comments

Roger Argus, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We completed fiscal year 2026 with a strong fourth quarter driven by our global commercial and government businesses. We continue to see increasing demand for our differentiated Leading with Science technical services for water and environmental programs, including digital automation for associated facilities. Our resilient infrastructure design services are growing globally with new contracts for water supply, coastal infrastructure, and defense modernization.

The strength of our balance sheet and consistent cash flow generation position us to continue to invest in organic growth and strategic acquisitions.”

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 isset forth in this release.
