Article content
Dan Batrack, Chairman and CEO, commented, 'Tetra Tech delivered another strong quarter with increasing revenue, record operating income, and significant operating margin expansion over the third quarter of last year. This performance is being driven by our high-end water, environmental and sustainable infrastructure services, which includes our clients' increased funding for preparing and responding to natural disasters. Although the financial results for fiscal 2025 to date have exceeded our initial expectations, we are continuing to navigate the near-term financial impacts from the changes in U.S. federal government priorities and the related secondary impacts to our end markets.'

1
Non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes provide valuable perspectives on its business results. The reported adjusted operating income and EPS exclude non-cash goodwill impairment related to USAID in Q2-25 and legal contingency in Q1-25. 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 exclude legal contingency of $0.35 in Q1-25 and goodwill impairment of $0.31 in Q2-25.

Article content
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide a valuable perspective on our financial results. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation and are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP measures. In addition, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently which limits the ability of investors to compare non-GAAP measures of Tetra Tech to those used by our peer companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is
