Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the first quarter ended January 2, 2011.
First Quarter Results
Revenue in the quarter was $611.1 million, up 12.8% compared to $542.0 million in the first quarter last year. Revenue, net of subcontractor costs(1), was $405.6 million, up 18.1% compared to $343.5 million in the first quarter last year. Operating income was $34.3 million, up 10.3% compared to $31.1 million in the first quarter last year. Net income was $22.3 million, up 19.2% compared to $18.7 million in the first quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.36, up 20.0% compared to $0.30 in the first quarter last year. The EPS of $0.36 included a prior-year tax benefit of approximately $0.02. Backlog was $1.91 billion, up 18.5% compared to $1.61 billion at the end of the first quarter last year. Cash generated from operations was $8.9 million, compared to cash used of $5.2 million in the first quarter last year.
“Tetra Tech had a solid first quarter that included strong growth in net revenue, EPS, and backlog,” said Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack. “The Company’s performance was driven by continued strength in our front-end consulting and engineering services, and recent Canadian acquisitions that expand our water services to the mining and energy markets. International business increased significantly and now represents 25% of our net revenue. In addition, commercial net revenue grew 11% year-over-year. The performance and opportunities in our international and commercial markets have improved our business outlook, which is reflected in our increased EPS guidance for the year.”
(1) Tetra Tech’s revenue includes a significant amount of subcontractor costs and, therefore, the Company believes revenue, net of subcontractor costs, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides a valuable perspective on its business results.

These forward-looking statements include information concerning future events and the future financial performance of Tetra Tech that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results. Readers are urged to read the documents filed by Tetra Tech with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, each as it may be amended from time to time, which identify risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
