RESTON, Va., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a global consulting and technology services provider, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chair and chief executive officer, said, "This was another quarter of strong execution for ICF. Revenues increased 7.2% year-on-year. Adjusting for the sale of the Commercial Marketing Group that was completed in the third quarter and the commercial U.K. events business that we exited at the end of the second quarter, revenue growth is estimated at 8.4%¹, with our two major market categories, Energy, Environment & Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery and Health & Social Programs posting revenue increases of 14% and 7%, respectively.

"This also was a robust period for contract wins, which reached a third quarter record of $875 million and included record federal government awards led by IT modernization, public health, and cybersecurity. Year-to-date contract awards increased 10%, and 70% of the dollar amount of the awards represented new business, a strong indication of how well aligned ICF's capabilities and priority markets are with client demand and funding.

"Third quarter profitability benefited from higher utilization, lower facility costs, favorable mix, and scale efficiencies. Additionally, net income and per share earnings were bolstered by tax optimization strategies that have helped to offset higher interest expense.

"At quarter-end, our business development pipeline was $9.8 billion, 10% above the same period last year. The pipeline represents a diversified set of opportunities, which together with our strong backlog and book-to-bill metrics, support our expectation that 2024 will be another year of considerable recurring revenue growth for ICF."

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Third quarter 2023 total revenue increased 7.2% to $501.5 million from $467.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. Subcontractor and other direct costs were 27.1% of total revenues compared to 28.3% in last year's third quarter. Operating income increased 13.0% to $31.9 million, up from $28.2 million, and operating margin on total revenue increased to 6.4%. Net income totaled $23.7 million, and diluted EPS was $1.25 per share in the 2023 third quarter, representing increases of 24.3% and 23.8%, respectively. Third quarter 2023 net income and diluted EPS included $5.1 million, or $0.20 per share, in tax-effected special charges, net of the gain on the sale of the company's Commercial Marketing Group. Special charges in the third quarter of 2023 related to facilities reductions (including the previously disclosed one-time non-cash stranded facilities charge), M&A, and severance costs. Also included was a one-time tax benefit and other tax optimization strategies representing $0.13 per share.

Summary and Outlook

"ICF's strong year-to-date performance has put us firmly on track to achieve our full-year guidance and has set the stage for continued growth in 2024. Our key growth markets, utility consulting, disaster management, IT modernization/digital transformation, and climate, environment, and infrastructure services, represented approximately 80% of our total nine-month revenues, adjusted for the sale of our Commercial Marketing Group and the exit of our commercial U.K. events business. We are also encouraged by our year-to-date profitability metrics, which reflect actions we have taken to deploy our resources to support these growth markets, strengthen operating efficiencies, and streamline our business.

"Based on our results to date, the recent sale of our Commercial Marketing Group and the exit of our commercial U.K. events business in the second quarter, we are narrowing our guidance range for full-year 2023 revenue to $1,950 million to $1,980 million, and we anticipate subcontractor and other direct costs will be approximately 27% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $212 million to $218 million. We are raising our guidance ranges for diluted EPS to $5.00 to $5.10, exclusive of special charges, and Non-GAAP EPS to $6.40 to $6.50 due to a lower than anticipated tax rate. Operating cash flow is projected at approximately $150 million in 2023. Included in full year 2023 guidance are $60 million in year-to-date revenues from our Commercial Marketing Group and our commercial U.K. events business, which were divested in 2023. At similar margins to the rest of our business, these service lines are estimated to have contributed EPS of approximately $0.20 that will not recur in 2024.

"Looking ahead to 2024, our record sales, substantial backlog, and robust business development pipeline support our expectations for high single-digit organic growth in recurring revenues.

"In the third quarter, Forbes named ICF one of America's Best Employers for Women for the second consecutive year, and in 2023 ICF also was included on Forbes' America's Best Management Consulting Firms list for the eighth straight year and on its Best Employers for Diversity List for the third straight year. These recognitions speak volumes about the collaborative and inclusive corporate culture that we work every day to maintain. We encourage all our stakeholders to read our latest Corporate Citizenship Report, which details how ICF and our people are impacting society," Mr. Wasson concluded.

¹ Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measurements. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measurements to the 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 other similarly titled measures used by other 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 the 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 the 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 other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in forward-looking statements that are included in the "Risk Factors" section of our securities filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date hereof, and we specifically disclaim any obligation to update these statements in the future.

Note on Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

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

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

⁽³⁾ Includes adjustment to revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to reflect the impact of exiting our U.K. commercial marketing business as of June 30, 2023 and the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business on September 11, 2023. The adjustment of revenue related to our U.K. commercial marketing business was for the period July 1 to September 30 totaling $2.8 million for both the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The adjustment of revenue related to our U.S. commercial marketing business was for the period September 12 to September 30 totaling $2.2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾ The calculation of EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 has been revised to conform to the current period calculation of EBITDA. Specifically, interest income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was reclassified from "Other expense" to "Interest, net" on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

⁽⁵⁾We recorded impairment of $0.9 million and $2.9 million in the first and the third quarter of 2023, respectively, related to impairment of an intangible asset and operating lease right-of-use assets.

⁽⁶⁾These costs consist primarily of third-party costs and integration costs associated with our acquisitions and/or potential acquisitions and separation costs associated with business discontinuation/divestitures.

⁽⁷⁾These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers, and/or groups of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a consolidation or reorganization.

⁽⁸⁾ These costs are exit costs associated with terminated leases or full office closures. The exit costs include charges incurred under a contractual obligation that existed as of the date of the accrual and for which (i) we will continue to pay until the contractual obligation is satisfied but with no economic benefit to us or (ii) we contractually terminated the obligation and ceased utilizing the facilities.

⁽⁹⁾During the third quarter of 2023, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.4 million from sale of assets related to the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business.

⁽¹⁰⁾ These costs represent incremental non-cash lease expense associated with a straight-line rent accrual during the "free rent" period in the lease for our new corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia. We took possession of the new facility during the fourth quarter of 2021, while also maintaining and incurring lease costs for the former headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia. The transition to the new corporate headquarters was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

⁽¹¹⁾ Net Income Margin Percent on Revenue was calculated by dividing net income by revenue.

⁽¹²⁾EBITDA Margin Percent and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Percent on Revenue were calculated by dividing the non-GAAP measure by the corresponding revenue.

⁽¹³⁾ Income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items, if any, of 21.7% and 29.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 23.5% and 28.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

⁽¹⁴⁾ As is shown in the supplemental schedule, we track revenue by key metrics that provide useful information about the nature of our operations. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of our expertise. Client type is an indicator of the diversity of our client base. Revenue by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that we have assumed.

⁽¹⁵⁾During the first quarter of 2023, we re-aligned our client markets from four to three and reclassified the 2022 percentages to conform to the current presentation. Certain immaterial revenue percentages in the prior year have also been reclassified due to minor adjustments and reclassification.
