Tetra Tech Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Achieves Record Revenue and Backlog
Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended October 1, 2006. Overall, the Company exceeded its earnings and revenue guidance for the quarter, and exceeded its revenue and operating cash flow guidance for the year.
Revenue in the quarter was $385.6 million, up 9.6% from $351.7 million, and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was $250.9 million, up 7.2% from $234.2 million for the same quarter last year. Income from operations for the quarter was $20.0 million, up 3.7% from $19.3 million for the same quarter last year. Net income for the fourth quarter was $11.8 million, up 30.0% from $9.1 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations, before and after the effect of stock option expense under SFAS 123R, was $0.22 and $0.20, respectively, which exceeded guidance. Backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was a record $1,062 million, up 18.9% from $894 million at the end of the fourth quarter last year. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $27.1 million.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same quarter last year, the resource management segment experienced strong growth in revenue and backlog. This performance continued to be driven by a robust federal market and recent wins with the Department of Defense, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy. The infrastructure segment experienced revenue and backlog growth as a result of increased state and local government business and commercial work.
Fiscal Year Results
Revenue for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2006 was a record $1.4 billion, up 9.8% from $1.3 billion for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2005. Revenue, net of subcontractor costs, for fiscal 2006 was $958.6 million, an increase of 5.2% from $910.9 million for fiscal 2005. Income from operations for fiscal 2006 was $69.5 million compared to a loss of $73.9 million for fiscal 2005. Net income for fiscal 2006 was $36.6 million compared to a net loss of $99.5 million for fiscal 2005. Diluted EPS for fiscal 2006, after the effect of stock option expense under SFAS 123R, was $0.63 compared to a loss per share of $1.75 for fiscal 2005.
Dan Batrack, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Tetra Tech, said, “Our 2006 financial results clearly indicate that we’re on the right path. We met all of the objectives that we established for the year, and are pleased to have achieved a record $1.4 billion in revenue and a record of nearly $1.1 billion in backlog, both from continuing operations. We continue to see strong end-markets across all parts of our business. These signs point to a bright future for the Company.”

(a) A non-GAAP financial measure; see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below.
(b) Effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) — Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective application method. Accordingly, the results of operations for the current fiscal year include charges related to the fair value of its stock-based compensation awards.
(c) Upon a voluntary review of its past stock option grants in August 2006, the Company determined that, due to unintentional errors, the accounting measurement dates for certain historic stock option grants differed from their actual grant dates. Pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 — Interim Financial Reporting, the Company recorded cumulative non-cash, pre-tax stock-based compensation charges of $2.3 million for continuing operations and $0.9 million for discontinued operations in the third quarter ended July 2, 2006.
(d) Reflects a non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 of $105.6 million for goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management of the Company believes that reporting income before the effects of SFAS 123R and the cumulative adjustment related to past stock option grants is useful 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 measures:
