RESTON, Va., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a global consulting and technology services provider, reported results for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Commenting on Å·²©ÓéÀÖ results, John Wasson, chair and chief executive officer, said, "This was anoÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr quarter of strong performance for ICF. Total revenues increased 3% year-on-year. Revenues from continuing operations increased 6% from last year's levels, which includes a considerable impact from lower pass-throughs.

"Our Energy, Environment, Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery client market again was a key contributor to our third quarter results, delivering year-on-year revenue growth of 15.3% and accounting for 45.7% of total third quarter revenues, up from 40.8% in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ similar period last year. We experienced continued strong demand from our utility clients for a broad range of ICF's capabilities, including core energy efficiency programs, grid resilience, electrification, and flexible load management, all of which have taken on greater importance given recent increases in projected electricity demand, particularly from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ growth in data centers. ICF is a market leader with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ unique experience, capabilities and scale to assist utility clients across all Å·²©ÓéÀÖse areas with analytics, multidisciplinary solutions and program management.  

"Favorable mix and higher utilization were key drivers of third quarter margin expansion. Operating margin increased by 250 basis points year-on-year to 8.9%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 50 basis points to 11.3% from 10.8%.

"We ended Å·²©ÓéÀÖ third quarter with a record business development pipeline of $10.6 billion, after $697 million in contract awards. Year-to-date contract awards increased 16% from last year's levels to just over $2.0 billion, of which 63% represented new business wins, indicating how well aligned ICF's capabilities are with client spending priorities."

Summary and Outlook

"Continued favorable business mix and utilization metrics, togeÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ incremental tax benefits of approximately $0.25 per share, have led us to increase Å·²©ÓéÀÖ midpoint of our earnings per share guidance for full year 2024 by $0.35. Our revised guidance for GAAP EPS is in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ range of $6.05 to $6.15, excluding special charges, and Non-GAAP EPS is expected to range from $7.40 to $7.50, representing year-on-year growth of 14.6% at Å·²©ÓéÀÖ midpoint. We have adjusted our full year 2024 revenue guidance range to $2.0 billion to $2.03 billion from $2.03 billion to $2.10 billion to reflect an estimated $50 million reduction in expected pass-throughs. This primarily impacts revenue comparisons for our Health and Social Programs client market with no meaningful impact on margins. Based on our strong cash flow to date, we reaffirm our guidance for full year 2024 operating cash flow of approximately $155 million.

"Our forward-looking metrics support our confidence in continued growth for ICF as we enter 2025. We have a strong multiyear backlog, a record business development pipeline and a consistent track record of new business wins. We are experiencing robust demand from commercial clients for our energy and environment expertise and related implementation and technology capabilities. We have excellent credentials in disaster management, resilience and mitigation work to assist state and local governments with recovery after storms, flooding and wildfires, as well as with Å·²©ÓéÀÖir future resilience planning. The large majority of our federal government work is in areas that have bipartisan support, particularly IT modernization, which remains an area of priority spending. And importantly, our people are fully engaged in achieving Å·²©ÓéÀÖ objectives and missions of our clients, which underpins our confidence in ICF's future growth potential," Mr. Wasson concluded.

1 Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measurements. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measurements to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ most applicable GAAP number is set forth below. Special charges are items that were included within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income but are not indicative of ongoing performance and have been presented net of applicable U.S. GAAP taxes. The presentation of non-GAAP measurements may not be comparable to oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr similarly titled measures used by oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr companies.

Caution Concerning Forward-looking Statements

Statements that are not historical facts and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties are "forward-looking statements" as defined in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may concern our current expectations about our future results, plans, operations and prospects and involve certain risks, including those related to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ government contracting industry generally; our particular business, including our dependence on contracts with U.S. federal government agencies; and our ability to acquire and successfully integrate businesses. These and oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in forward-looking statements that are included in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ "Risk Factors" section of our securities filings with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ date hereof, and we specifically disclaim any obligation to update Å·²©ÓéÀÖse statements in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ future.

Note on Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

The company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and because not all of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of Å·²©ÓéÀÖse forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (such as Å·²©ÓéÀÖ effect of share-based compensation or Å·²©ÓéÀÖ impact of future extraordinary or non-recurring events like acquisitions) is available to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ company without unreasonable effort. For Å·²©ÓéÀÖ same reasons, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ company is unable to estimate Å·²©ÓéÀÖ probable significance of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ unavailable information. The company provides forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achievable, but it cannot accurately predict all of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ components of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ adjusted calculations, and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S. GAAP financial measures may be materially different than Å·²©ÓéÀÖ non-GAAP financial measures.

(2) These tables provide reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ most applicable GAAP numbers. While we believe that Å·²©ÓéÀÖse non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, Å·²©ÓéÀÖy should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. OÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr companies may define similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently and, accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how we define Å·²©ÓéÀÖse measures. 










(3) Revenue from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ exited U.K. commercial marketing business (June 30, 2023), U.S. commercial marketing business (September 11, 2023), and Canadian mobile text aggregation business (November 1, 2023). Subcontractor and oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr direct costs from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ exited business are approximately 15.0% and 31.1% of revenue of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ exited business for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.










(4) Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS were calculated using numbers as reported in U.S. GAAP.










(5) Represents impairment charges recorded in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ first and third quarters of 2023 of $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of an intangible asset associated with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ exit of our commercial marketing business in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.K. and operating lease right-of-use assets.










(6) These are primarily third-party costs related to acquisitions and potential acquisitions, integration of acquisitions, and separation of discontinued businesses or divestitures.










(7) These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers, and employees who have been notified that Å·²©ÓéÀÖy will be terminated as part of a business reorganization or exit.










(8) These are exit costs associated with terminated leases or full office closures that we eiÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr (i) will continue to pay until Å·²©ÓéÀÖ contractual obligations are satisfied but with no economic benefit to us, or (ii) paid upon termination and ceasing to use Å·²©ÓéÀÖ leased facilities.










(9) Pre-tax gain related to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ 2023 divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business which include contingent gains realized in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ first and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ third quarter of 2024.










(10) Net Income Margin Percent on Revenue was calculated by dividing net income by revenue.










(11) EBITDA Margin Percent and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Percent on Revenue were calculated by dividing Å·²©ÓéÀÖ non-GAAP measure by Å·²©ÓéÀÖ corresponding revenue.










(12) These are exit costs related to actual office closures (previously included in Adjusted EBITDA) and accelerated depreciation related to fixed assets for planned office closures.










(13) Income tax effects were calculated using Å·²©ÓéÀÖ effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items, if any, of 13.8% and 21.7% for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 20.0% and 23.5% for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
