·                Record Backlog of $2.03 billion

 

·                Increasing FY12 guidance

 

Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the second quarter ended April 1, 2012.

 

Second Quarter Results

 

Revenue in the quarter was $624.3 million compared to $612.6 million in the second quarter last year.  Revenue, net of subcontractor costs1, was $476.9 million, up 10.8% compared to $430.3 million in the second quarter last year.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA2), were $49.2 million, up 16.2% compared to $42.3 million in the second quarter last year.  Operating income was $35.5 million, up 21.5% compared to $29.3 million in the second quarter last year.  Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.35, up 25.0% compared to $0.28 in the second quarter last year.  Backlog was $2.03 billion compared to $1.99 billion at the end of the second quarter last year.  Cash generated from operations was $33.1 million compared to $33.7 million in the second quarter last year.

 

Six-Month Results

 

Revenue for the six-month period was $1.31 billion, up 6.8% compared to $1.22 billion in the year-ago period. Revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was $968.9 million, up 15.9% compared to $835.9 million in the year-ago period.  EBITDA were $100.3 million, up 11.8% compared to $89.7 million in the year-ago period.  Operating income was $71.6 million, up 12.7% compared to $63.6 million in the year-ago period.  Diluted EPS were $0.71, up 10.9% compared to $0.64 (or up 16.4% compared to $0.61 excluding a prior year tax benefit) in the year-ago period.  Cash generated from operations was $71.4 million, up 67.4% compared to $42.6 million in year-ago period.

 

Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack commented, “Tetra Tech had a strong second quarter highlighted by growth of 11% in net revenue and 25% in EPS.  Our performance this quarter also had a strong volume of new orders, which contributed to a record backlog of $2.03 billion.  We continue to see strong demand for our water-related services from a broad base of industrial clients in the U.S. and abroad, and our U.S. government work has remained stable.  As a result of increased confidence in our business outlook, we are increasing our net revenue and 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.

2 EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful representation of operating performance because of significant amounts of acquisition-related non-cash amortization expense. A table reconciling net income attributable to Tetra Tech to EBITDA can be found at the end of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. Among the important factors or risks that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements in this release are:  worldwide political and economic uncertainties; fluctuations in annual revenue, expenses and operating results; the cyclicality in demand for U.S. state and local government and U.S. commercial services; credit risks associated with certain U.S. commercial clients; delays in U.S. federal debt ceiling legislation and shifts in U.S. defense spending; concentration of revenues from U.S. government agencies and potential funding disruptions by these agencies; delays in the completion of the U.S. government budget process; violations of U.S. government contractor regulations; dependence on winning or renewing U.S. federal, state and local 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; the failure to properly manage projects; the loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements; the ability to maintain adequate utilization of our workforce; the use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the inability to accurately estimate contract risks, revenue and costs; the failure to win or renew contracts with private and public sector clients; acquisition strategy and integration risks; goodwill or other intangible asset impairment; growth strategy management; backlog cancellation and adjustments; risks associated with international operations; the failure of partners to perform on joint projects; the failure of subcontractors to satisfy their obligations; changes in resource management or infrastructure industry laws, regulations or programs; changes in capital markets and the access to capital; credit agreement covenants; industry competition; volatility of common stock value; liability related to legal proceedings; 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 environmental laws and regulations; force majeure events; protection of intellectual property rights; and the interruption of our computer, information and communications technology and systems. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to Tetra Tech, which is subject to change.
