Tetra Tech Reports Third Quarter Results

Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the third quarter ended July 2, 2006.  Overall, the Company achieved the high end of its earnings and revenue guidance for the quarter.  Revenue in the quarter was $359.1 million, up 12.0% from $320.6 million, and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was $240.2 million, up 4.5% from $230.0 million for the same quarter last year.  Income from operations was $18.4 million, up 26.4% from $14.6 million for the same period last year.  Net income for the third quarter was $9.8 million, up 31.8% from $7.4 million for the same period last year.  Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations, after the effect of stock option expense under SFAS 123R, was $0.17 compared to $0.05 for the same period last year.  Diluted EPS from continuing operations, before the effect of stock option expense under SFAS 123R, was $0.19 compared to $0.05 per share for the same quarter last year. Backlog at the end of the third quarter was $1,006 million, up 10.8% from $909 million at the end of the third quarter last year. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $13.9 million compared to $6.1 million a year ago, an increase of 128.7%.

In the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period a year ago, the resource management segment experienced revenue growth, continued margin expansion, and strong backlog growth.  This strength was driven by a robust federal market and new wins with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense, which includes work in Iraq.  The infrastructure segment experienced revenue growth, continued margin improvement, and backlog growth as a result of increased state and local government business.  The communications segment experienced revenue and backlog growth, but was negatively affected by a project delay that resulted in lower than expected earnings. Management expects this delay to abate in the fourth quarter.

Nine Month Results

Revenue for the nine months ended July 2, 2006 was $1.0 billion, up 9.8% from $927.8 million for the same period last year.  Revenue, net of subcontractor costs, for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $707.7 million, an increase of 4.6% from $676.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005.  Income from operations for the first nine months was $51.8 million compared to a loss of $93.2 million for the same period last year.  Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $26.7 million compared to a net loss of $108.5 million for the same period last year.  Diluted EPS from net income for the first nine months was $0.46 compared to a diluted loss per share of $1.92 for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management of the Company believes that income before the effect of SFAS 123R is useful information because it allows investors to assess the Company’s earnings trend.  Such non-GAAP information is also integral to management’s internal evaluation of the Company’s performance. The following table reconciles the Company’s reported GAAP net income and EPS to the non-GAAP financial measure:
