Roger Argus

Thank you, Latania. Good morning, and welcome to our fiscal year 2026 third quarter earnings conference call. We had a strong third quarter with growth primarily driven by our U.S. federal and international end markets, both of which increased at double-digit rates.

We received significant new orders during the quarter, including commercial orders for data centers and sediment restoration projects, driving our backlog up by more than $200 million in the quarter. Our performance resulted in our increasing guidance for fiscal 2026. For the call today, I will begin with an overview of our third quarter's performance and the client markets that are driving our growth.

Steve Burdick, our Chief Financial Officer, will provide additional detail on our financial performance and capital allocation. We delivered a strong third quarter with positive performance across key financial metrics. Net revenue was $1.1 billion for the quarter, exceeding the upper end of our guidance and supported by strong demand for high-end leading with science approach to water, environment and sustainable infrastructure.

Earnings per share of $0.42 also exceeded the upper end of our guidance. We generated cash flow of $229 million from operations in the quarter and $467 million year-to-date, which is an all-time high for the first 3 quarters of a year. And importantly, our backlog was up for the second consecutive quarter, increasing sequentially by 5% to just under $4.5 billion.

Overall, the quarter was in line with our expectations and the increased backlog provides us with good visibility into the fourth quarter and the end of the fiscal year. Both of our business segments performed well in the third quarter. The Government Services Group or GSG grew by 7% in the third quarter on a year-over-year basis and generated a strong margin of 17.5%.

Demand remains solid for both of our our U.S. federal and state and local government markets, especially in water, environment and defense. The Commercial/International Group or CIG also performed well. with revenue up 9% from the prior year and an associated margin of 15.1%. CIG's growth was from a diversified mix of clients across water, power and energy and mining markets worldwide.

I would now like to provide an overview of our net revenue by customer. Our international work was up 12% on a year-over-year basis and represented 47% of our business. Revenue growth was driven by water programs in the U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands an increase in infrastructure work in Canada and growth in mining and digital automation revenues in Australia.

In the U.S., our U.S. federal work was up 12% from last year and represented 20% of our business. This growth was driven by our work for the U.S. federal government and infrastructure, planning and environment for defense and civilian clients. Our U.S. commercial business was up 1% compared to last year and represented 20% of our business.

Revenues for Energy and transmission-related services continue to increase, accompanied by stronger mining and minerals project activity. However, these gains were partially offset by the decline in renewable energy work including the cancellation of remaining offshore wind programs along the Atlantic Coast. Our U.S. state and local business grew by 5% this quarter.

We continue to see strong growth and longer-term orders in municipal water, including new projects for PFAS treatment, digital systems modernization, water reuse and desalination. We had a strong quarter for new orders and our backlog was up $208 million, increasing by 5% sequentially from the prior quarter. As we stated before, we take a conservative approach to backlog.

We include only work that is contracted, funded and authorized. This gives us high-quality visibility into future performance and increases our confidence in our project pipeline. Our backlog growth was supported by several important wins across priority markets.

In the United States, we added just under $300 million in contract capacity from the Army Corps of Engineers Mobile and Norfolk districts, where we have worked for decades. Mobile district includes the critical U.S. Gulf Coast regions as well as supporting international programs in Central and South America. The Norfolk District is a central hub for supporting the world's largest naval base innovation in coastal resiliency and the critical East Coast shipping channels.

We also added new state and local programs, including being awarded the lead designer role for the largest dedicated municipal PFOS treatment system in the United States located in Dayton, Ohio. And this quarter, we were pleased to see that our U.S. commercial orders were also very strong. Commercial orders were led by digital automation for data centers, power and transmission services and sediment restoration programs.

I will now turn the call over to Steve Burdick, our Chief Financial Officer, to discuss our financial results and capital allocation in more detail. Steve?

Steven Burdick

Thanks, Roger. As Roger said, I'd like to now provide an update on our reported year-to-date fiscal 2026 GAAP results, working capital, cash flows and capital allocation. So as Roger just discussed in the call, our market-leading focus on the front-end technical design and engineering for water and environmental projects are carrying higher margins across all of our end markets.

As such, even as the reported revenue was down from last year due primarily to the decrease in revenue of our USA customer and the revenues from onetime disasters last year, our operating income increased significantly and adjusted EBITDA on net revenue for the first 9 months has increased by about 80 points over in fiscal '26 compared to fiscal '25. These results further support our long-term strategic goals to improving EBITDA margins by 50 basis points annually. More often over the last year, I've been asked by our shareholders and others what our margins look like on a net service revenue or NSR basis, which would be similar to how others in the industry report their margins.

I've looked at that question and can tell you that our EBITDA margin would be about 240 basis points higher this year to date on an NSR basis. Now as a result of our ability to enhance our profit margins and further manage our working capital, we were able to increase EPS and come in well above our previous guidance range for the third quarter. Now regarding our working capital.

Cash flows generated from operations for the first 9 months of the year were at a historical record of $467 million, which represents a significant 31% improvement over fiscal 2025. And consistent with each of the last consecutive 21 years, our operating cash flows have continued to exceed net income. Our focus on working capital and cash flows has resulted in our DSO reflecting an industry-leading standard of 56 days, which is similar to last year and an improvement compared to Q2 of this year.

This lower DSO metric provides significant insight into our core business as it reflects outstanding work that our project managers lead relative to higher-quality projects and highly satisfied clients in our broad portfolio across all of our end markets and geographies. Now our net debt target is about 1 to 2x and our actual net debt on EBITDA was at a leverage of 0.88x, which is lower than our leverage ratio 1 year ago when it stood at 0.96x. So as we continue to execute on high-quality results with increasing margins, operating cash flows in excess of net income and lower working capital KPIs we will continue to provide higher returns for our shareholders and those higher shareholder financial returns are reflected in an improving return on capital employed, which now stands at over 20%.

So with that perspective, I now present our capital allocation strategy and overview. We have a very strong balance sheet our operating cash flows was $567 million for the trailing 12-month period. Now Roger will discuss our strategic global areas later in the presentation but I do want to point out that our balance sheet and cash flows provide us with significant liquidity available to invest in organic and acquisitive growth priorities in order to take advantage of these key business opportunities such as technology and automation, which continues to provide us a dominant position in those markets.

Year-to-date, we have closed acquisitions of technical leaders focused on defense, such as Habit in the U.S. and Providence in Australia. And regarding our dividend program, I'm pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend, which is an 11% increase year-over-year to be paid in the fourth quarter. This is our 45th consecutive quarterly dividend with annual double-digit increases in the amounts paid.

And based on our lower leverage, we have continued our stock buyback program this year. In the third quarter, we increased our buyback to $100 million. And for the first 9 months of 2026, we bought back a total of $200 million.

We do have $398 million available from our stock buyback plan that was approved by our Board of Directors as part of our capital allocation strategy. I'm very pleased to share these strong year-to-date results for fiscal 2026, which has enabled us to increase shareholder value as we can pay increasing dividends, increase our stock buybacks, engage in accretive acquisitions, all the while deleveraging our balance sheet. I want to thank you for your support, and I will now hand the call back over to Roger to discuss our global opportunities in water for 2026 and beyond.

Roger Argus

Thank you, Steve. Across our key regions, our clients are increasing their investment in water-related priorities that align directly with Tetra Tech's core strengths. These priorities leverage Tetra Tech's expertise in high-end water treatment, water quality management hydropower infrastructure, digital systems and cybersecurity.

In the U.S., where we work with more -- over 500 municipal clients, we are seeing clients continuing to plan for modernization and expansion of their facilities while proactively integrating rate increases, bonds and commercial funding sources. We also see new programs in the U.S. to expand hydro power to meet increased demand, such as the Lake Chalon program, which we announced last week. In the U.K. and Ireland, large regulated investment cycles are supporting growth across our key markets in water quality, leakage management and desalination.

The U.K.'s AMP cycle includes approximately GBP 105 billion of water sector investment through the year 2030. Across the U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands, we hold over GBP 2 billion in contract capacity to provide differentiated solutions such as our smart sewer systems and our Water net league detection system. In Canada, federal infrastructure and hydropower investments are supporting demand for our water, environment and infrastructure services.

We expect hydropower investments to continue to expand to address increased demand for clean and reliable energy. One of our key clients, Hydro-Quebec, plans to add 11 gigawatts in new capacity driving new opportunities for us in hydropower, modernization, transmission and water treatment. And in Australia, water agencies are accelerating deployment of digital automation and cybersecurity to improve operations and prepare for AI-enabled optimization.

Market forecasts estimate more than $17 billion of digital water investments in Australia over the next decade. We have provided additional water automation services used today by utilities such as the Water Corporation in Western Australia and for South Australia Waters system modernization. I'd now like to present our guidance for the fourth quarter and the entire 2026 fiscal year.

Our guidance is as follows. For the fourth quarter, net revenue guidance is from $1.12 billion to $1.17 billion. Adjusted earnings per share guidance is from $0.45 to $0.48 and for the full fiscal year of 2026, our net revenue guidance is from $4.315 billion with $4.365 billion, and our increased adjusted earnings per share guidance is from $1.56 and to $1.59.

The right side of this slide presents the FY '26 net revenue growth, which is up 8% year-over-year at the midpoint with an associated margin expansion of 70 basis points year-over-year at the midpoint. You can read the FY '26 assumptions on our slide, but I'll highlight a few. Intangible amortization of $34 million, depreciation of $23 million, interest expense of $30 million, an effective tax rate of 27.3% and and this guidance does not include contributions from future acquisitions.

In summary, we had a strong third quarter as demonstrated by our financial metrics in revenue, margin, cash generation and backlog. Demand for Tetra Tech's differentiated leading with science services continues to drive sustained growth for us in water-related work globally. Our focus on water is also bringing us new opportunities in hydropower, digital automation, data centers, mining and resilient infrastructure.

Strong cash flows supports our strategy to deploy our cash to grow organically and through acquisition while also returning cash to our shareholders. And with our outperformance in the third quarter, we have raised our guidance for the full fiscal year 2026. I think we'll now take your questions. .

Operator

Thank you. At this time, the question-and-answer session will begin now. The first question comes from Rene Gagliardo with William Blair.

Unknown Analyst

This is Rene on for Tim Marine. I just have 1 question about the. We saw the backlog was up year-over-year for the first time in several quarters and up sequentially now for 2 quarters in a row.

To talk about two of the primary drivers behind that backlog growth, we've seen some announcements recently, particularly on the commercial and federal side we're hoping to get a little more detail about where you're seeing momentum.

Roger Argus

Thanks, Rene. Yes, I'm very encouraged by our continued backlog growth. As you mentioned, the 5% sequential growth was our second quarter in a row with growing backlog.

And I'd like to highlight as well that -- for us, backlog includes only contracted, funded and authorized work, which means our project teams can begin work on these projects. So as you mentioned, we highlighted some recent press releases such as the PBOS treatment system in Daytona, visual automation in Los Angeles and also a $27 million award from the FAA for airspace modernization. So for us, the backlog has grown across all of our end markets.

We've highlighted a few specific ones that we felt are of particular interest, including commercial orders. We see the scope of work that we provide for data centers is expanding -- we started with more of the engineering commissioning type work, expanded into feasibility studies. As we discussed on our last quarterly call, and now doing -- continuing to do the feasibility studies, but also doing work related to power and water supply associated with the development of new data centers.

And we were also encouraged in the commercial sector by new works late in the quarter for settlement remediation programs. And one of the things that I really especially like about some of the orders that we received in the quarter is that they are really just initial funding for longer term, in some cases, multiyear programs, so it gives us encouragement and really pleased to see the backlog growth.

Operator

Next question comes from Sabahat Khan with RBC Capital.

Sabahat Khan

Great. Thanks, and I guess just maybe on a similar line of questioning, I guess, can you talk through -- there were a lot of moving pieces here between last year and early this year around DOS work kind of getting shifted away, diligent impacts, procurement sort of headwinds across the U.S. government. Can you just maybe projects aside, maybe just the operating backdrop, the ability of the Government and other U.S. agencies, even just private sector customers to bring work to the market in this environment.

Maybe just a bit of background on where we are today versus maybe this time last year.

Roger Argus

Thanks, Sabahat. Great question. Just I'll start with the U.S. federal government.

I mean we did -- last year went through the longest shutdown in history. The government has approved a budget, which they're operating under now. So there were some headwinds early in the year due to that shutdown, obviously.

But even with the budget in place, we're continuing to see challenges in the U.S. federal government placing orders and awarding work. It's due to a number of reasons. The constrained contracting office staff pool, basically came in last year, and there was a significant reduction in force in terms of staffing for the U.S. federal government, and that created some bottlenecks in terms of issuing task orders and getting work out to the contractors.

So that remains an issue. And I know the government is trying to navigate it, but we haven't really seen any substantial change on our end in terms of the flow of work. I mean we still did work as we've announced, and we've got great backlog growth as last quarter.

So it is slowing, but it's still very constrained in that regard. I think on the commercial side, while they don't have those same constraints, I think that uncertainty in the marketplace around whether it be regulatory enforcement or compliance requirements are in place. So those aren't particularly affected, which is most of our work.

But I think the general uncertainty around this U.S. administration causes some of the clients to be cautious in their awards of new programs. Again, we've seen really nice awards in the commercial sector in the last quarter. in spite of these headwinds. So we're encouraged by that.

But the overall sense of -- I would use the word maybe trepidation has changed because of uncertainty associated with I would call geopolitical issues. The war in Iran, obviously, creates some supply chain issues related to fuel and other things. So there's overall pressures on the market.

Sabahat Khan

Great. And then just based on, I guess, thinking about your medium-term outlook based on how the year has evolved, I think the last commentary we got on that was, look, the company is still committed to sort of the fiscal '30 targets that you laid out. Given where we are in the year, I'm not sure if we can comment directionally anything on fiscal '27.

But how are you feeling about the medium-term targets just trying to gauge and we're getting questions on do we return to maybe a run rate growth level in fiscal '27? So anything you can share on that front?

Roger Argus

Well, it's early for us to comment on FY '27. We are encouraged by the backlog growth that we experienced in Q3, and we're really focused on Q4 in terms of continuing that trend and building a a stable base of work that will carry us into the new fiscal year.

Sabahat Khan

And then one quick one, I guess, on the DOS USA work, some amount of flow through over the course of this year. Just a view on that. Is that something that could potentially continue into next year?

And then if there ends up being sort of a steady state amount that continues, is that eventually just become part of the base business? How should we sort of think about that from RN, whether it's modeling or just how management views that business for line?

Roger Argus

Yes. Thanks, Saba. That's a great question.

U.S. AID does not exist anymore. Department of State does and will continue on and is a client of ours. So while we have had these the year-over-year issues associated with the decline in ad the sort of precipitous drop-off.

We do see work with the Department of State continuing. They are going to be a client of ours. I think that there's a lot of political uncertainty around some of the work that we do with AID in particular, the Ukraine work.

So it's hard for us to at least at this point, give a clear view into the future on that. But it has been continuing for us and will continue at some level in the future.

Operator

The next question comes from Sangita Jain with KeyBanc Capital.

Sangita Jain

If I can continue on the department estate question that was asked previously. Given that Department of State is a customer of yours, and you have several other federal agencies to our customers, do you just start holding this into regular GST revenue and not even discuss it as episodic, do you think that is possible?

Roger Argus

Eventually, yes.

Sangita Jain

What are the things that you're kind of waiting on before you decide to do that?

Roger Argus

Well, I think that for one thing, the predominance of our USA work was completed in Q4 of FY '25 so waiting for that to sunset, I think, is an important factor in our consideration around how we consider Department of State work moving forward. I think that, as I mentioned in the previous response, we've maintained a level of conservatism around what we forecast in terms of the contribution from the remaining Department of State work. But I think we will continue to have some conservatism around that.

But over time, is we're hopeful that the work there will stabilize, and our confidence will increase and then it will be considered a normal part of our business.

Sangita Jain

Got it. And then if I can ask on U.S. commercial. I know international commercial was pretty strong has been the last couple of quarters.

So can you reference what's going on in the U.S. as you transect the slowdown in renewables, et cetera, going into next year?

Roger Argus

Right. Well, there is still a renewable practice that's ongoing. The offshore wind practice was estimate is probably the right word.

So we do have continuing renewables practice in the U.S. Our power and energy practice in the U.S. is growing. As I mentioned earlier, the data center work as well continues to grow, and we've -- we're receiving orders around sediment restoration now, which includes really front-end work associated with potential long-term implementation around those segment projects. So -- also, I mean, data centers for us is relatively small.

I think it's around $60 million for the year. But we're seeing an expanded scope of services that our clients are coming to. So we're very encouraged by the data center that we're doing.

Operator

The next question comes from Ryan Connors with Northcoast.

Ryan Connors

So I wondered if we could dive a little deeper into the state and local business, Roger. I think one of the takeaways from the industrial side of the water industry in this earnings season has been that there is a bit of a downshift in the environment there. So I'm wondering how you're seeing that market evolve?

Is there -- I know you mentioned it's still pretty solid. But any shift in the cadence of projects or the types of projects or the composition of funding of those projects. Anything you can tell us about how that particular market is evolving here?

Roger Argus

That's a great question as well. Last quarter, we sort of signaled that the federal government has proposed some budgets that would include cuts for co-funding of some of the brand money that goes to state and municipal clients for water programs. So we expressed a little caution around that.

The final budgets are not complete. I know that the -- one version of a budget when Congress came back with the state revolving funds funded at the same level or maybe slightly more next year. So the final budgets aren't final in that regard.

So we've been cautious and watching very closely, but our municipal water treatment business, for example, was still up double digits year-over-year in Q3. So we haven't seen an impact there. As I mentioned during my prepared remarks, our clients are looking at other sources of funding.

The demand remains stronger. They have the population to serve and provide water. And so they have to find a way to do that, and they've looked at rate increases.

I know San Diego, where I lived it had a rate increase and other sources of funding, including some legal settlements that have occurred in recent months. So we've not seen it in the municipal water treatment area where we have seen it though is in the flood protection space. And that, in fact, there's been a reduction in federal co-funding around flood protection work.

So flood protection is a small part of our U.S. state and local market, but we have seen an impact there. And in fact, more than 20 states have filed lawsuits against the federal government because the federal government is withholding promised flood protection funding co-funding for their projects. So that's one area where we've seen some impact.

Again, it's a smaller part of our overall state and local business, but the municipal water treatment, which is the predominance of work, again, is still up double digits, and we haven't seen any impact.

Ryan Connors

Got it. Okay. That's really helpful.

And then secondly, bigger picture question, but obviously, concerns around AI disrupting your business model have weighed on the stock this year. I wanted to give you a chance to address that as you continue to learn more and more about what these new AI models are capable of and how they do present risks or opportunities for you? I mean how are you seeing that evolve in terms of how you view AI in the industry?

And what kind of risks and opportunities it creates for Tetra Tech.

Roger Argus

Thanks. Tetra Tech is a front-end applied science, technical and engineering firm. We provide the very front-end work that requires temporal knowledge of the the geology that we work in, the site-specific information, the regulatory framework, the community priorities, all of these things that are -- require local knowledge and knowledge of the specific field conditions that we work in.

For us -- and we use that information and our technical expertise to develop what I call bespoke solutions, custom solutions for our clients a unique problems. So we pride ourselves on our ability to technically solve the most complex problems related to water using that site specific knowledge and our technical expertise. For us, AI is an enabler for our technical experts.

You'll notice and I described what we do, we are not the downstream commodity design company that has an offshore center of excellence that does routine type design work that is repetitive and potentially displaced by AI. So for us, we view AI as a tool. It's an enabler for our technical experts and it allows us to provide better solutions to evaluate more alternatives and to assess larger data sets to develop better solutions for our clients, which is what we do.

Tetra Tech has always been a user of the latest technology to support our clients and differentiate us in the marketplace. So in particular, in water, where demand is high, whether it's water supply or water treatment, the challenges are more complicated. Our clients need our technical expertise enabled by AI and other digital tools to address the problems and satisfy the requirements of their projects.

So for us, we see AI as an enabler going to help us provide better solutions to our clients and grow market share as well as gain margin expansion on our fixed price projects as well.

Operator

The next question comes from Andrew Wittmann with Baird.

Andrew J. Wittmann

One of my questions have been asked and answered, but maybe one for Steve. Just -- as you think about the margin expansion potential in the company, I see at the Investor Day, you laid out kind of this view that you could have around 50 basis points a year. And this year, you're obviously doing better than that.

I guess the guide here, EBITDA margin is up 70 basis points. How should we think about that as it relates to '27? Do you feel like some of the benefits that you got this year was maybe pull forward and maybe next year because it's never going to be a straight line.

We should think of it as not a straight line, maybe 2 years is 100%, but maybe this year is 70% next year, 30%. I'm not trying to get that specific. Just trying to get your way of thinking about it with your knowledge of your current utilization rates and the mix of projects that are in our backlog.

And just kind of feel you off for how we should be thinking about the margin outlook for the company?

Steven Burdick

Yes. I think, Andy, good question. And I think you've thought about all the different moving pieces that I think about all the time, too, in terms of -- as we pointed out back in our Investor Day back in 2023, we we had already implemented a plan, and we were progressing on that plan very well, where over the last probably 6 or 7 years prior to that, we were improving our margin by about 50 basis points a year on average.

And some years is a little more, some years it is a little less, but on average. And we had a plan that we've implemented since then to be about 50 basis points a year. And you're right.

Some years, it could be a little less and some a little more. But just to point out from -- in fiscal '23, our margin was where we were from '23 to '24, we increased it by about 70 basis points. From '24 to '25, we increased it by about 80 basis points.

This year, we're about 70. And so everything that we're doing to improve it is working. And next year, we think 50 is about right, but it could be a little less, it could be a little bit more based on history.

And I think we'll have a better idea when we provide '27 guidance.

Andrew J. Wittmann

Fair enough. Thank you for thoughts on that. Just one other quick one.

Maybe I missed it. Did you mention how much Ukraine work -- AID work is in the fourth quarter guide? It's just asking because I know that in the third quarter, it came a little bit above kind of what you're thinking?

I'm just wondering, did you comment, can you comment on 4Q contribution?

Steven Burdick

Yes. It's probably about the same as Q3. So Q3 was about $66 million in total.

So it's probably in that range for Q4.

Andrew J. Wittmann

And then, Roger, it was interesting to hear you talking about the mining end markets -- at one point in Tetra Tech's history, this was a pretty significant portion of what you're doing. And it's been interesting that like commodity prices for copper, gold, our 2 key areas of investment have been really high for a while. And I was wondering when we start hearing more about greater investment here.

And maybe it's not even for new mines, maybe it's remediation. I don't know what kind of work you're seeing I know that not just those commodities, but things like uranium have been big things for you in the past. I just was wondering kind of -- do you feel like this is kind of a blip on the radar?

Or do you feel like there's something beginning here where a mining cycle could benefit Tetra Tech more materially than it has really for quite some time again. Just love to get your thoughts about kind of where that business is today and what you think it could be in the next year .

Roger Argus

And we do have a strong mining practice, and it is global. We work for large multinational mining clients and I guess my first reaction to your question is for me to predict the commodity prices that wouldn't even venture to go there. And you're right that the work that we're seeing is driven in part by the prices that you mentioned as well as demand for the rare earth elements.

So for us, we've got -- we've got work in all of those areas, and we continue to work with our clients closely and follow their lead in terms of where they're doing exploration, research as well as new mine development as well and including the long-term maintenance of tailings and other aspects of historic mining activities. So I'd say we're watching it very closely. We're staying very close to our clients.

We've got the technical capabilities and the ability to ramp should larger projects start to come to market. So we're encouraged. But I think at this point, I'd be reticent to saying that we're seeing the beginning of a larger cycle or anything like that.

I don't have that crystal ball.

Operator

This will conclude the Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to Roger Argus to conclude.

Roger Argus

Thank you, Latania. In closing, I'd like to thank you for your insight, your questions and your interest in Tetra Tech. Recent awards and future opportunities continue to demonstrate the strength of our business and the enduring alignment of our differentiated water services with the priorities of our clients worldwide.

I look forward to speaking with you again next quarter. Thank you, and goodbye.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our conference call for today. Thank you all for participating, and have a nice day. All parties may disconnect now.
