RESTON, Va., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a leading global solutions and technology provider, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chair and chief executive officer, said, "Our third quarter performance demonstrates the benefits of ICF's diversified client base, our agility in adapting to challenging market conditions, and the success of our business development activities.

"We continued to see strong year-on-year growth in revenues from our commercial, state & local government and international government clients. Within this client set, revenue growth from commercial energy clients remained robust, driven by strong demand from our utility clients for ICF's industry-leading energy efficiency programs and expertise in flexible load management, electrification, grid resilience and affordability—expertise that is closely aligned with the needs of our utility clients as they address increasing electricity demand.

"We are successfully executing our plan to maintain similar margins to those of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 10 basis points to 11.4% of third quarter revenues, primarily reflecting the increased contribution of higher-margin commercial energy revenues and the benefits of cost management initiatives. Additionally, fixed price and time and materials contracts accounted for 93% of third quarter revenues compared to 88% last year, while cost reimbursement contracts declined to 7%.

"Third quarter contract awards increased 2.4% year-on-year, resulting in a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.53, despite the continuing delays in new federal government procurements. Approximately 50% of the awarded contracts in the federal government arena represented new business, a good indication that our capabilities, particularly in the area of IT modernization, are being recognized. Our business development pipeline was $8.4 billion at the end of the third quarter, which together with our year-to-date contract awards of $1.8 billion support our confidence in ICF's ability to return to growth in 2026.

"In a separate release today, we announced several executive leadership changes supporting ICF's future growth. Following Barry Broadus' decision to retire after a 40-year career in finance, we have tapped James Morgan, currently COO, to take on the additional role of CFO following the publication of ICF's full year 2025 financial results. In addition, Anne Choate, currently executive vice president, will take on the role of president. ICF is fortunate to have a strong, stable group of talented leaders like James and Anne, who will work closely with me, our executive leadership team and our board of directors in executing organic growth, acquisitions and financial strategies that build our future growth and profitability."

• International government revenue was $29.0 million, up 8.2% from $26.8 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Summary and Outlook

"Year-to-date results have put us on track for our 2025 results to be within the guidance framework we provided at the beginning of this year, which stated that a 10% decline in revenues, GAAP EPS and Non-GAAP EPS from 2024 levels was the maximum downside risk we foresaw from the loss of business primarily from federal government clients during this transition year. At that time, we stated that our guidance framework did not consider the potential impact of an extended government shutdown. In the month of October, we estimate that ICF's revenues will be reduced by approximately $8 million and gross profit by approximately $2.5 million as a result of the current government shutdown. Based on this monthly impact continuing, we are pleased to be able to maintain our original guidance framework for revenues and Non-GAAP EPS even if the government shutdown extends through the end of the year. Given these assumptions, we expect the year-on-year decline in fourth quarter revenues and Non-GAAP EPS would be similar to what was reported for the third quarter. We are revising our operating cash flow estimate for 2025 to range from $125 million to $150 million to reflect the timing of payments as a result of the government shutdown.

"Looking ahead, we continue to be confident in our ability to return to revenue and earnings growth in 2026. This outlook is supported by the continued growth from our non-federal government clients, improvement from portions of our federal government business, recent contract wins and a robust pipeline of opportunities. Additionally, our professional staff has been instrumental in helping us navigate difficult business conditions, and their ongoing commitment to ICF and our clients underpins our ability to drive long-term growth," Mr. Wasson concluded.

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, as amended. 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 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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) Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS were calculated using numbers as reported in U.S. GAAP.
(4) These are primarily third-party costs related to acquisitions and integration of acquisitions.
(5) These costs are due to involuntary employee termination benefits for (i) our officers and (ii) group of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a business reorganization or exit.
(6) These charges and adjustments are related to a previously exited leased facility which we will continue to pay until the contractual obligations are satisfied but with no economic benefit to us, and the closure of certain international offices.
(7) Pre-tax gain related to the 2023 divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business which includes contingent gains realized in the first quarter of 2024.
(8) Net Income Margin Percent on Revenue was calculated by dividing net income by revenue.
(9) EBITDA Margin Percent and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Percent on Revenue were calculated by dividing the Non-GAAP measure by the corresponding revenue.
(10) These are office closure charges and adjustments previously included in Adjusted EBITDA and accelerated depreciation related to fixed assets for planned office closures.
(11) The amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations totaled $9.2 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $27.9 million and $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(12) Income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items, if any, of 22.7% and 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 23.0% and 20.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
