Zacks Investment Research | Feb 25, 2020 08:14PM ET
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK) announced yesterday that it acquired Arlington, VA-based Segue Technologies, Inc. Financial terms of the transaction have been kept under wraps.
Segue specializes in providing management consultancy, IT solutions and cybersecurity to customers, including commercial, non-profit and government. The firm’s government clients include the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. It employs more than 200 people.
Details of Buyout
Per Tetra Tech, the buyout of Segue will strengthen its ability to better serve customers with innovative techniques — including enterprise-wide software applications, advanced data analytics and cloud services. In addition, the buyout is predicted to solidify Tetra Tech’s business from the government, especially the U.S. Department of Defense, and commercial customers.
The company will integrate Segue with its Government Services Group. The segment, which engages in serving the U.S. government clients (federal, state and local) and development agencies, generated 53.7% of adjusted net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (ended December 2019).
Buyout Strategies
The above-mentioned transaction is consistent with Tetra Tech’s policy of acquiring businesses to improve product lines and market exposure.
