Tetra Tech reported a robust performance for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2026, showcasing significant growth and resilience in challenging conditions, including the longest U.S. government shutdown in history. The company recorded an 8% increase in revenue, amounting to $987 million, and a 12% rise in operating income, which reached $131 million. This performance boosted the earnings per share (EPS) by 17% year-over-year, bringing the adjusted EPS to $0.34 for the quarter. A notable strength for Tetra Tech lies in its Government Services segment, which achieved a net revenue growth of 5%, despite the government shutdown, underscoring its resilience and strategic client relationships. The segment’s margins improved by 40 basis points to 18%, driven primarily by projects with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Meanwhile, the Commercial and International Group segment saw a 10% increase in revenue, supported by strong water programs in the U.K.
