Q1 Fiscal 2016 Investor Review TRR Jim Stephenson SVP Corp. Development & Planning Needham & Company Growth Conference NYC January 14, 2016


 
Safe Harbor Statement 2 Certain statements in this presentation may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," or other words of similar import. You should consider statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss TRC’s future expectations, contain projections of the Company’s future results of operations or of its financial condition, or state other "forward-looking" information. TRC believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its investors. However, there may be events in the future that the Company is not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause its actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in its forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the uncertainty of TRC’s operational and growth strategies; circumstances which could create large cash outflows, such as contract losses, litigation, uncollectible receivables and income tax assessments; regulatory uncertainty; the availability of funding for government projects; the level of demand for TRC’s services; product acceptance; industry-wide competitive factors; the ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel; the availability and adequacy of insurance; and general political or economic conditions. Furthermore, market trends are subject to changes which could adversely affect future results. See the risk factors and additional discussion in TRC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, this presentation contains references to non-GAAP metrics such as EBITDA, gross margin, adjusted EPS and free cash flow. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics can be found on slides 28 and 29.

Definitions for Non-GAAP Measures 30 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization (EBITDA) The Company presents EBITDA because it believes that it is a useful tool for the Company, its lenders and its investors to measure the Company’s ability to meet debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. As used in the presentation, EBITDA is operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Note that a separate, modified non-GAAP term “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” is specified in the Company’s revolving credit agreement. Gross Margin and Gross Margin % The Company presents Gross Margin and Gross Margin % to allow investors to better evaluate short-term and long-term profitability trends. The definition of Gross Margin is equal to Net Service Revenue less Cost of Services. Gross Margin % is equal to Gross Margin Divided by Net Service Revenue. Free Cash Flow The Company presents free cash flow, and ratios based on it, to conduct and evaluate its business because, although it is similar to cash flow from operations, the Company believes it is a useful measure of cash flows since purchases of fixed assets are a necessary component of ongoing operations. The definition of Free Cash Flow is equal to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus additions to property and equipment. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share is defined as reported earnings per common share excluding the tax impact of the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance. The Company does not believe that this excluded item is indicative of its ongoing operating results, and it is not considered when forecasting future results. The Company believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share is of value to its current and potential investors when comparing results from past, present and future periods.
