Chairman and CEO Comments

Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack, commented, “We completed the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 with another record year with 15% annual revenue growth and 21% annual EPS growth. Our all-time high fourth quarter and annual results were driven by increasing demand for our differentiated high-end consulting services for managing water resources and resilient infrastructure. In 2024, we held our inaugural investor day establishing 2030 targets which include expanding our leading global water consultancy and growing our recurring revenue software business.

“We continue to see strong demand for our high-end services in coastal flood protection and recovery, security of water supplies, and digital modernization of water infrastructure. Over this past year, we received increasing orders across all our client end-markets which drove backlog up 12% to an all-time high of $5.38 billion. With strong momentum in contract wins and a record backlog, we are initiating our full year fiscal 2025 guidance for net revenue and earnings, which represents forecasted EPS growth of 15% for fiscal 2025.”

_______________ 1 Non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes provide valuable perspectives on its business results. Refer to tables at the end of the release and Regulation G Information for reconciliations to the comparable GAAP metrics. 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 required to provide such reconciliation with sufficient precision.

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 available at tetratech.com/investors.
