Event summary
- Tetra Tech reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.22 billion and net revenue of $1.05 billion, with an 8% Y/Y increase excluding USAID/DOS and disasters.
- Backlog grew to $4.28 billion, up 8% sequentially, driven by key wins including a $400 million contract for USACE Huntsville District.
- Operating income was $132 million with an EBITDA margin increase of 90 basis points Y/Y.
- Cash from operations reached $165 million in Q2 and $688 million over the trailing twelve months, reducing net debt by 25% Y/Y.
The big picture
Tetra Tech's strong Q2 performance reflects growing demand for its high-end consulting and engineering services in sustainable infrastructure, particularly from U.S. federal agencies and international markets. The company's ability to generate substantial cash flow has allowed it to deleverage debt while increasing shareholder returns, positioning it favorably amid broader industry trends toward environmental and water management solutions.
