Tetra Tech Announces Additional $400 Million Share Repurchase Program

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK), a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $400 million share repurchase program, which is twice the size of the previous authorization. Together with the amount remaining under the previously approved program at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company has a total of $563 million available for share repurchases.

In the last twelve months ending third quarter of fiscal 2021, Tetra Tech generated $294 million of cash flow from operations and this strong cash flow has enabled the Company to return $98 million to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. During the same time period, the Company also advanced its Leading with Science^® strategy with the completion of five strategic acquisitions that have added new technical capabilities and geographic presence. Tetra Tech continued to deleverage its balance sheet, and its net debt leverage ratio was 0.1x at the end of the third quarter 2021.

“The newly authorized share repurchase program reflects confidence in our long-term growth outlook and our commitment to a balanced capital allocation strategy,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO. “The strength of our balance sheet and strong consistent cash flow generation will allow us to continue investing in both organic growth initiatives and strategic acquisitions while having greater capacity to return more capital to shareholders.”
