Following the substantial
completion of our restructuring in fiscal 2005, our best minds are now
focused on tomorrow—growing the business in the most effective way
possible. Our strategic realignment last year positioned Tetra Tech for
its next era of growth.
Tetra Tech exited the wireless communications business
and arranged the sale of two other non-core businesses during the year.
As a result, we are more efficient and more profitable. We are also better
able to focus on our fundamental strengths in water resources and water
infrastructure, and in targeted new markets in systems support and security.
Tetra Tech also kicked off a new business development program focused on
initiatives that bring to light special skills and unique competencies
within the organization. Our initiatives will help us align our business
with specific client needs.
With these changes behind us, Tetra Tech welcomed new
operational leadership at the beginning of fiscal 2006. Dr. Li-San Hwang
decided to retire, and I became the Chief Executive Officer after 25 years
of working at Tetra Tech. My plan is to focus on the characteristics that
make Tetra Tech a great company: entrepreneurial spirit, technical excellence
and fiscal discipline.
During fiscal 2005, Sam Box was elected President, I was
named Chief Operating Officer and the Board of Directors gained a new Vice
Chairman—Lockheed Martin veteran Al Smith. Tetra Tech invested in
project reviews and fiscal management changes that meet our corporate governance
responsibilities and are expected to lead to the type of financial performance
you anticipate. |
