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, 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; capital

availability and project investment by our clients; 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, 2016, 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.

These slides are intended as a visual aid to TRC’s commentary on the Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results Conference

Call. As such, they should be considered in the full context of that commentary, the transcript of that conference call and TRC’s second

quarter 2017 Form 10-Q and Financial Results Press Release. Also, this presentation contains references to non-GAAP metrics such as

EBITDA, gross margin, free cash flow and various adjusted metrics. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics can be found on

slides 17-21.
