On May 5, 2025, Tetra Tech's Board of Directors approved the Company's 44 th consecutive quarterly dividend at an amount of $0.065 per share, a 12% increase year-over-year, payable on June 5, 2025, to stockholders of record as of May 23, 2025.
Article content
In the second quarter, Tetra Tech repurchased $150 million of common stock. Furthermore, the Board approved an additional $500 million share repurchase program. Together with the $173 million remaining under the previously approved program at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company had $673 million available for share repurchase.
Article content
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on May 5, 2025, Tetra Tech entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a total borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion that will mature in May 2030.
Article content
Dan Batrack, Chairman and CEO, commented, 'We generated record second quarter results for revenue and net income despite the decrease in revenue associated with the reorganization of USAID. Our growth in State and Local, U.S. Commercial, and International revenues more than offset this headwind, which resulted in net revenue and EPS exceeding consensus and the upper end of our guidance range for the quarter. We are seeing significant demand for our differentiated Leading with Science ® services in our water and environmental markets, including our high-end digital automation services for our municipal and commercial clients.
Article content
'In the last month, we announced strategic acquisitions expanding our global digital technology and program management businesses. Based on our strong performance, we increased our dividend by 12% and expanded our stock buyback program by an additional $500 million. With record year-to-date performance and a strong outlook, we are raising our FY25 guidance for net revenue and EPS.'

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and the actual results could differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of transactions that may be completed or developments that become evident after the date of this release. The Business Outlook section should be read in conjunction with the information on forward-looking statements at the end of this release.
Article content
During the quarter, we were notified that virtually all our contracts with USAID were terminated for convenience. Consequently, we performed an interim impairment review of the goodwill in our Global Development Services division. As a result, we reduced backlog by the value of the terminated contracts and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $92.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Tetra Tech has updated its guidance for fiscal year 2025 based on its current outlook, which includes the expected impact of the ongoing U.S. federal government review process.
Article content
For fiscal 2025, Tetra Tech is increasing full year guidance for net revenue 2 to range from $4.400 billion to $4.765 billion and is increasing adjusted EPS 3 guidance to range from $1.42 to $1.52. For the third quarter in fiscal 2025, Tetra Tech expects net revenue to range from $1.10 billion to $1.20 billion and EPS to range from $0.35 to $0.40.

1
Non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes provide valuable perspectives on its business results. Adjusted operating income and EPS exclude non-cash goodwill impairment related to USAID. Refer to tables at the end of the release and Regulation G Information for reconciliations to the comparable GAAP metrics.
2
Reconciliation of the net revenue guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the magnitude and timing of all the components, including subcontractor costs, required to provide such reconciliation with sufficient precision.
3
The adjustments in our guidance for EPS are to exclude the legal contingency of $0.35 and goodwill impairment of $0.31.

Could Investing $10,000 in Markel Make You a Millionaire?
Turning a $10,000 investment into $1 million or more would mean a 100X result. But it isn't as far-fetched as it might seem, and you don't necessarily need to invest in volatile high-tech companies to make it happen. One of my favorite candidates to be a millionaire-making stock in my own portfolio is insurance company Markel (NYSE: MKL), which does things much differently than its insurance industry peers. In fact, Markel's business model often draws comparisons to an early stage Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), and to say that Berkshire has been a millionaire maker would be a major understatement. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » With that in mind, here's a brief overview of Markel's business model, why the stock could be a good value today, and how it could turn $10,000 into a million-dollar investment simply by continuing to execute on its time-tested growth strategy. Markel in a nutshell If you aren't familiar with Markel, here's a quick overview of its business. There are three main components. At its core, Markel is an insurance company. It mainly operates in specialty insurance (the excess and surplus, or E&S lines, in insurance terms) and reinsurance. These are types of insurance that can be rather difficult, but that have enormous profit potential. In addition, Markel invests some of its float in the stock market, similar to Berkshire Hathaway. As of the latest information, Markel owned about $11.3 billion worth of stocks (and the largest holding happens to be Berkshire). The company's equity investments have delivered 12.8% annualized returns over the past five years. Finally, Markel Ventures is the company's division that acquires entire businesses. Unlike Berkshire, which needs to buy massive companies to move the needle, Markel has the luxury that it can invest a meaningful amount of money in early stage businesses with lots of growth potential. Just to name a few examples, Markel Ventures owns a luxury handbag maker, a houseplant company, a homebuilder, and several others. Last year, Markel Ventures generated $5.1 billion in revenue. This isn't exactly Berkshire's business model, but it's a pretty similar one. And it follows one of Warren Buffett's top rules for conglomerate building: Be willing to own minority shares of businesses (common stocks) while pursuing opportunistic ways to own entire companies as well. Over the 60-year period that Warren Buffett has run Berkshire Hathaway, this has resulted in a total return of more than 5,500,000%. To say that this is a time-tested model would be an understatement. A 'baby Berkshire' at a discount Markel recently announced a strategic review of its business due to lackluster profitability in its insurance business and generally subpar stock performance. Just to name a few things that have already been done, Markel decided to pull the plug on several unprofitable insurance lines and has already decided that improving the technology capabilities of its insurance business needs to be a priority. According to management, Markel's intrinsic value has grown at an 18% annualized rate over the past five years. But its stock price has only grown at a 9% rate. Management estimates a $2,610 per-share intrinsic value for the business, and the stock trades for about $1,935 as I'm writing this. That's a big valuation gap. Management also announced a $2 billion stock buyback program along with the review and said that this will be a near-term focus of capital deployment. So, the company believes its stock price doesn't reflect the business' value and is putting its money where its mouth is. Could Markel make you a millionaire? The short answer is yes. But it's unlikely to happen quickly. Markel is designed to be a long-term compounder that can produce returns that are superior to the overall stock market. Over long periods, the S&P 500 has produced total returns of about 10% annualized, and in the modern era (since Warren Buffett has been running the company), Berkshire Hathaway has produced 19.9% annualized returns. So, assuming that Markel successfully beats the S&P over the long term, here's how long it could take to turn a $10,000 investment into $1 million: Long-Term Annualized Total Return Years to Turn $10k Into $1 Million 12% 42 14% 36 16% 32 18% 29 20% 26 Data source: Author's own calculations. Years are rounded to the nearest whole number. Now, I don't necessarily think Markel, or any other company, will produce Berkshire-like returns over a 60-year period. But I do believe that with Markel's strategy, it's entirely possible to significantly outpace the market. In short, the most likely scenario (which would still be very impressive) would be one of the first few rows in the chart. For context, since it went public in 1986, Markel has delivered 15% annualized returns, so there is real-world evidence that the company can beat the market. Of course, this assumes that you invest $10,000 once. The best way to approach a stock like Markel or Berkshire Hathaway (or most other compounding-focused stocks for that matter) is to invest incrementally over time. But the point is that even with a single investment, a stock with steady market-beating returns can have massive wealth-building potential over time.

Prediction: 3 Stocks Berkshire Hathaway Will Add to Its Portfolio After Warren Buffett Steps Down as CEO
Next year, Berkshire Hathaway will have a new CEO. Warren Buffett, who has been in charge for decades, is stepping down and Greg Abel will be taking over. It's a monumental shift for the business, and while there may not necessarily be drastic changes in the day-to-day operations, there could be some adjustments to Berkshire's holdings. There are three stocks that I think Abel should consider adding to Berkshire's portfolio once he takes over: Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Enbridge (NYSE: ENB), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Here's why these stocks are great long-term investments and why they fit the Berkshire mold. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Microsoft Buffett distanced himself from Microsoft because of his close association with co-founder Bill Gates. But with Buffett no longer at the helm, it opens the path for Berkshire to create a position in Microsoft under Abel. Microsoft is the type of business that checks all the boxes for Berkshire. It has solid fundamentals, many growth opportunities, and a strong brand that is known all over the world, giving it a fantastic competitive moat. In the trailing 12 months, the software company generated more than $270 billion in revenue, amassing nearly $97 billion in profit along the way. Microsoft is a leading company in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, and its office software is a staple in many businesses around the world. This is an excellent stock for investors to own for the long haul, and I think it may just be a matter of time before it finds its way into Berkshire's holdings. Enbridge With Abel being from Canada and having strong roots in Alberta, I think he'll be inclined to put his stamp on Berkshire. And what better way to do so than by opening up a position in a top oil and gas company from Canada -- Enbridge. Berkshire is no stranger to the sector and holds multiple stocks from there. Enbridge is known for its consistency and long-term dependability, which is why it also looks like a model Berkshire-type investment. This year, the company expects to meet or exceed its financial guidance, and if it does, it'll be the 20th consecutive year that Enbridge has done so. Few companies can generate that kind of consistency. And Buffett has always valued predictability and stability in businesses. The pipeline company generated revenue totaling just under 61 billion Canadian dollars over the trailing 12 months. And with Enbridge closing on multiple acquisitions in the U.S. within the past year few years, its financials could look even better in the future. Along with an attractive dividend that yields nearly 6%, this is a stock that can be ideal for any type of long-term investor. Enbridge is another stock I expect may be a staple in Berkshire's portfolio once Abel is at the helm. Nvidia For years, iPhone maker Apple has been the top holding in Berkshire's portfolio. But the company has arguably been losing its luster due to a fumbled AI rollout and delaying key features on its latest phones. And it highlights much more than that: a lack of innovation. At the very least, it's lagging behind its key rivals. A changing of the guard may be overdue at Berkshire. While Buffett has long been a fan of Apple's business, Abel may see an opportunity to change that up. Investing in Nvidia is a move that could make much more sense. Even for people who are unfamiliar with AI, investors have come to know about Nvidia's dominance in the chip world, and I believe it now has the strong brand that Apple once did, which is synonymous with innovation. Nvidia has dominant market share in the AI chip market, and its fundamentals are incredible. Over the past four quarters, it has net a profit of $77 billion on revenue of nearly $149 billion. Given its impressive market position and huge profit margins, it seems unfathomable that the stock isn't in Berkshire's portfolio already. I can only assume that it's because Buffett may not want too much exposure to tech or that he's simply too unfamiliar with it. For Abel, however, this can be yet another opportunity for him to change up Berkshire's holdings with more growth-oriented businesses. While Apple may have performed well over the past decade, it may no longer make sense for it to be Berkshire's top holding. Nvidia could be a much better fit.
