Pasadena, California. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) today announced results for the second quarter ended March 29, 2015.
Second Quarter Results
Revenue in the quarter was $564.8 million and revenue, net of subcontractor costs(1), was $432.8 million. Revenue and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, in the quarter were both up 3% compared to the prior year, excluding the wind-down of the Remediation and Construction Management (RCM) segment and the impact from foreign currency translation. Operating income was $30.4 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.31. Operating income adjusted for non-operational items(2) in the quarter compared to last years second quarter was up 26%, and EPS from operations(2) were up 45% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Cash generated from operations was $19.3 million, up 33% compared to last years second quarter.
Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program
On April 27, 2015, Tetra Techs Board of Directors declared a 14% increase in the quarterly dividend, raising it to $0.08 per share payable on May 29, 2015 to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2015. Additionally, in the second quarter, the Company spent an additional $48.6 million of the approved $200 million share repurchase program. For the first half of fiscal 2015, Tetra Tech has returned $77.4 million to its shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Tetra Techs Chairman and CEO, Dan Batrack commented, Tetra Tech had a solid second quarter, which reflects the strength in our water, environment and energy business. We continue to see a strong volume of orders and contract wins, which resulted in an 11% increase in backlog in our on-going operations on a constant currency basis. We are focused on advancing our strategic growth plan, as demonstrated by our announced acquisition of Cornerstone Environmental Group, in addition to returning capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
(1) Tetra Techs 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) See reconciliation tables for details on non-operational items.
Six-Month Results
Revenue for the six-month period was $1.1 billion and revenue, net of subcontractor costs, was $869.8 million. Operating income for the six-month period was $67.0 million and EPS were $0.71. Cash generated from operations was $24.8 million.
