[10-Q] ICF International, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
ICF International (ICFI) Q2 2025 10-Q highlights: Revenue fell 7% YoY to $476.2 m as U.S. federal work contracted (-43% YoY) following $418 m of terminated contracts tied to new administration priorities. Energy–Environment remained the largest market (52% of sales; +6.5%), but Health & Social programs (33% of sales) dropped 19%. Fixed-price work rose to 50% of mix while cost-based work shrank to 7%.
Gross margin improved 160 bp to 37.3% on lower subcontract mix, yet operating income slipped 6% to $40.0 m and net income declined 7.6% to $23.7 m ($1.28 diluted EPS). A larger R&D tax credit and IRC 987 planning cut the effective tax rate to 15.7% YTD (vs. 23.4%).
Balance sheet: Cash & restricted cash grew to $26.9 m (+43% YTD). Net contract assets rose $48 m, reflecting billing timing. Long-term debt climbed $50.6 m to $462.3 m (5.7% avg. rate) to fund share buybacks ($41.8 m) and working-capital swings; leverage now 0.46× assets. Equity increased to $1.00 bn as retained earnings set a new high.
Cash flow: Operating cash inflow dropped to $18.9 m (vs. $50.6 m) on receivable and payables movements. Capex remained modest at $9.2 m; free cash flow was $9.7 m.
Outlook flags: 0.8 bn unfulfilled performance obligations, with 38% expected in 2H-25. Terminated federal contracts and the newly enacted OB3 tax law introduce forecast uncertainty, but management cites continued demand in energy, infrastructure, and AI-enabled tech solutions.
ICF International (ICFI) evidenze del 10-Q del secondo trimestre 2025: I ricavi sono diminuiti del 7% su base annua, attestandosi a 476,2 milioni di dollari, a causa del calo del 43% dei lavori federali statunitensi, conseguente alla cancellazione di contratti per 418 milioni legati alle nuove priorità dell'amministrazione. Il settore Energia-Ambiente è rimasto il mercato principale (52% delle vendite; +6,5%), mentre i programmi di Salute e Sociale (33% delle vendite) sono calati del 19%. Il lavoro a prezzo fisso è salito al 50% del mix, mentre quello a costo è sceso al 7%.
Il margine lordo è migliorato di 160 punti base, raggiungendo il 37,3% grazie a una minore incidenza di subappalti, tuttavia l'utile operativo è sceso del 6% a 40,0 milioni e l'utile netto è calato del 7,6% a 23,7 milioni (utile diluito per azione di 1,28 dollari). Un credito d'imposta R&D più elevato e la pianificazione IRC 987 hanno ridotto l'aliquota fiscale effettiva al 15,7% da inizio anno (contro il 23,4%).
Stato patrimoniale: La liquidità e le disponibilità vincolate sono aumentate a 26,9 milioni (+43% da inizio anno). Gli attivi netti da contratti sono cresciuti di 48 milioni, riflettendo i tempi di fatturazione. Il debito a lungo termine è salito di 50,6 milioni a 462,3 milioni (tasso medio del 5,7%) per finanziare riacquisti di azioni (41,8 milioni) e variazioni del capitale circolante; la leva finanziaria è ora 0,46× gli attivi. Il patrimonio netto è salito a 1,00 miliardo grazie a utili trattenuti record.
Flusso di cassa: L’afflusso di cassa operativo è sceso a 18,9 milioni (da 50,6 milioni) a causa di variazioni nei crediti e debiti. Gli investimenti in capitale sono rimasti contenuti a 9,2 milioni; il flusso di cassa libero è stato di 9,7 milioni.
Prospettive: Obblighi di prestazione non ancora eseguiti per 0,8 miliardi, con il 38% previsto nella seconda metà del 2025. La cancellazione di contratti federali e la nuova legge fiscale OB3 introducono incertezze nelle previsioni, ma la direzione segnala una domanda continua nei settori energia, infrastrutture e soluzioni tecnologiche abilitate dall'intelligenza artificiale.
Aspectos destacados del 10-Q del segundo trimestre de 2025 de ICF International (ICFI): Los ingresos cayeron un 7% interanual a 476,2 millones de dólares debido a la contracción del trabajo federal estadounidense (-43% interanual) tras la terminación de contratos por 418 millones vinculados a nuevas prioridades administrativas. Energía-Ambiente siguió siendo el mercado más grande (52% de las ventas; +6,5%), pero los programas de Salud y Sociales (33% de las ventas) disminuyeron un 19%. El trabajo a precio fijo aumentó al 50% de la mezcla, mientras que el basado en costos se redujo al 7%.
El margen bruto mejoró 160 puntos básicos hasta el 37,3% gracias a una menor proporción de subcontratación, sin embargo, el ingreso operativo bajó un 6% a 40,0 millones y el ingreso neto disminuyó un 7,6% a 23,7 millones (EPS diluido de 1,28 dólares). Un mayor crédito fiscal por I+D y la planificación IRC 987 redujeron la tasa impositiva efectiva al 15,7% en lo que va del año (vs. 23,4%).
Balance: El efectivo y efectivo restringido crecieron a 26,9 millones (+43% en lo que va del año). Los activos netos por contratos aumentaron 48 millones, reflejando el momento de la facturación. La deuda a largo plazo subió 50,6 millones a 462,3 millones (tasa promedio del 5,7%) para financiar recompras de acciones (41,8 millones) y variaciones en el capital de trabajo; el apalancamiento ahora es 0,46× activos. El patrimonio neto aumentó a 1.000 millones debido a ganancias retenidas récord.
Flujo de caja: El flujo de caja operativo cayó a 18,9 millones (vs. 50,6 millones) por movimientos en cuentas por cobrar y por pagar. La inversión en capital se mantuvo modesta en 9,2 millones; el flujo de caja libre fue de 9,7 millones.
Perspectivas: Obligaciones de desempeño no cumplidas por 0,8 mil millones, con un 38% esperado en el segundo semestre de 2025. La terminación de contratos federales y la nueva ley fiscal OB3 introducen incertidumbre en las previsiones, pero la dirección menciona demanda continua en energía, infraestructura y soluciones tecnológicas habilitadas por IA.
ICF International (ICFI) 2025년 2분기 10-Q 주요 내용: 매출은 전년 동기 대비 7% 감소한 4억 7,620만 달러로, 미국 연방 정부 사업이 43% 축소되었으며, 이는 새 행정부 우선순위에 따른 4억 1,800만 달러 규모 계약 해지의 영향입니다. 에너지-환경 부문이 가장 큰 시장으로 남아 매출의 52%(6.5% 증가)를 차지했으나, 보건 및 사회 프로그램(매출의 33%)은 19% 감소했습니다. 고정 가격 계약 비중은 50%로 증가했고, 원가 기반 계약은 7%로 줄었습니다.
하도급 비중 감소로 총이익률은 160bp 개선되어 37.3%를 기록했으나, 영업이익은 6% 감소한 4,000만 달러, 순이익은 7.6% 감소한 2,370만 달러(희석 주당순이익 1.28달러)를 기록했습니다. 더 큰 연구개발 세액공제와 IRC 987 계획으로 연초 이후 유효 세율이 15.7%(전년 동기 23.4%)로 낮아졌습니다.
재무상태표: 현금 및 제한 현금이 2,690만 달러로 43% 증가했습니다. 순계약자산은 청구 시점 차이로 4,800만 달러 증가했습니다. 장기부채는 5.7% 평균 금리로 5,060만 달러 증가해 4억 6,230만 달러가 되었으며, 주식 환매(4,180만 달러)와 운전자본 변동을 위해 사용되었습니다. 부채비율은 자산 대비 0.46배입니다. 자본은 유보이익 증가로 10억 달러에 도달했습니다.
현금 흐름: 매출채권 및 매입채무 변동으로 영업활동 현금 유입은 1,890만 달러로 감소(이전 5,060만 달러)했습니다. 자본적 지출은 920만 달러로 소폭 유지되었으며, 잉여현금흐름은 970만 달러였습니다.
전망: 이행되지 않은 성과 의무가 8억 달러이며, 그 중 38%가 2025년 하반기에 예상됩니다. 연방 계약 해지와 새로 시행된 OB3 세법으로 인해 예측에 불확실성이 있으나, 경영진은 에너지, 인프라, AI 기반 기술 솔루션에 대한 지속적인 수요를 언급했습니다.
Points clés du 10-Q du deuxième trimestre 2025 d’ICF International (ICFI) : Le chiffre d’affaires a diminué de 7 % en glissement annuel, atteignant 476,2 millions de dollars, en raison d’un repli de 43 % des travaux fédéraux américains suite à la résiliation de contrats d’une valeur de 418 millions liée aux nouvelles priorités de l’administration. Le secteur Énergie-Environnement est resté le principal marché (52 % des ventes ; +6,5 %), tandis que les programmes de santé et sociaux (33 % des ventes) ont chuté de 19 %. Les travaux à prix fixe ont augmenté pour représenter 50 % du mix, tandis que ceux basés sur les coûts ont diminué à 7 %.
La marge brute s’est améliorée de 160 points de base pour atteindre 37,3 %, grâce à une moindre proportion de sous-traitance, mais le résultat d’exploitation a reculé de 6 % à 40,0 millions et le résultat net a diminué de 7,6 % à 23,7 millions (BPA dilué de 1,28 $). Un crédit d’impôt R&D plus important et la planification IRC 987 ont réduit le taux d’imposition effectif à 15,7 % depuis le début de l’année (contre 23,4 %).
Bilan : La trésorerie et les liquidités restreintes ont augmenté à 26,9 millions (+43 % depuis le début de l’année). Les actifs nets au titre des contrats ont augmenté de 48 millions, reflétant le calendrier de facturation. La dette à long terme a augmenté de 50,6 millions pour atteindre 462,3 millions (taux moyen de 5,7 %) afin de financer des rachats d’actions (41,8 millions) et des variations du fonds de roulement ; le levier est désormais de 0,46× les actifs. Les capitaux propres ont augmenté à 1,00 milliard grâce à des bénéfices non distribués records.
Flux de trésorerie : Les flux de trésorerie opérationnels ont chuté à 18,9 millions (contre 50,6 millions) en raison de mouvements des créances et dettes. Les dépenses d’investissement sont restées modestes à 9,2 millions ; le flux de trésorerie libre s’est élevé à 9,7 millions.
Perspectives : Obligations de performance non réalisées de 0,8 milliard, dont 38 % attendus au second semestre 2025. La résiliation des contrats fédéraux et la nouvelle loi fiscale OB3 introduisent une incertitude dans les prévisions, mais la direction souligne une demande continue dans les secteurs de l’énergie, des infrastructures et des solutions technologiques basées sur l’IA.
ICF International (ICFI) Q2 2025 10-Q Highlights: Der Umsatz sank im Jahresvergleich um 7 % auf 476,2 Mio. USD, da die US-Bundesaufträge um 43 % zurückgingen, nachdem Verträge im Wert von 418 Mio. USD aufgrund neuer Prioritäten der Regierung gekündigt wurden. Der Energiesektor-Umwelt blieb der größte Markt (52 % des Umsatzes; +6,5 %), während Gesundheits- und Sozialprogramme (33 % des Umsatzes) um 19 % zurückgingen. Festpreisaufträge stiegen auf 50 % des Mix, während kostenbasierte Aufträge auf 7 % schrumpften.
Die Bruttomarge verbesserte sich um 160 Basispunkte auf 37,3 % durch geringere Subunternehmeranteile, jedoch sank das Betriebsergebnis um 6 % auf 40,0 Mio. USD und der Nettogewinn um 7,6 % auf 23,7 Mio. USD (verwässertes Ergebnis je Aktie von 1,28 USD). Ein höherer F&E-Steuergutschrift und die IRC 987-Planung senkten den effektiven Steuersatz auf 15,7 % im Jahresverlauf (gegenüber 23,4 %).
Bilanz: Zahlungsmittel und gebundene Zahlungsmittel stiegen auf 26,9 Mio. USD (+43 % im Jahresverlauf). Nettovertragsvermögen stieg um 48 Mio. USD, was die Abrechnungszeitpunkte widerspiegelt. Die langfristigen Schulden stiegen um 50,6 Mio. USD auf 462,3 Mio. USD (durchschnittlicher Zinssatz 5,7 %), um Aktienrückkäufe (41,8 Mio. USD) und Schwankungen im Umlaufvermögen zu finanzieren; die Verschuldungsquote beträgt nun 0,46× der Vermögenswerte. Das Eigenkapital stieg auf 1,00 Mrd. USD, da die einbehaltenen Gewinne einen neuen Höchststand erreichten.
Cashflow: Der operative Cashflow sank auf 18,9 Mio. USD (gegenüber 50,6 Mio. USD) aufgrund von Veränderungen bei Forderungen und Verbindlichkeiten. Die Investitionsausgaben blieben mit 9,2 Mio. USD moderat; der freie Cashflow betrug 9,7 Mio. USD.
Ausblick: Unabgewickelte Leistungsverpflichtungen von 0,8 Mrd. USD, davon werden 38 % in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2025 erwartet. Die gekündigten Bundesverträge und das neu eingeführte OB3-Steuergesetz bringen Unsicherheiten in die Prognose, aber das Management verweist auf eine anhaltende Nachfrage in den Bereichen Energie, Infrastruktur und KI-gestützte Technologielösungen.
- Gross margin expansion of 160 bp YoY due to lower subcontract mix and higher fixed-price work.
- Effective tax rate fell to 15.7% YTD, boosting after-tax profitability.
- Cash & restricted cash increased 43% YTD to $26.9 m, enhancing liquidity.
- Shareholder equity surpassed $1 bn, reflecting retained earnings growth.
- Revenue declined 7% YoY with U.S. federal sales down 43%, exposing concentration risk.
- Backlog reduced by $418 m from contract terminations tied to policy changes.
- Net income fell 7.6% YoY; operating cash flow dropped 63%.
- Debt increased $50.6 m to $462.3 m, raising leverage as interest rates stay elevated.
Insights
TL;DR: Revenue dip on federal pull-back, margins stable, leverage up; thesis modestly negative.
Q2 shows the vulnerability of ICFI’s book to U.S. federal policy swings: a 7% top-line hit and backlog cut of $418 m. Management contained margin erosion via mix shift and cost control, holding operating margin at 8.4%. Lower ETR flattered EPS, but underlying EBIT fell 5.7%. Debt rose 12% to finance buybacks, pushing net leverage toward 2× EBITDA (pro-forma). Cash conversion weakened; only 37% of net income translated to operating cash. Unless commercial/energy wins accelerate, the stock’s premium multiple is at risk.
TL;DR: Contract terminations are material yet pipeline remains diversified, risk manageable.
The $418 m T4C adjustments signal real revenue headwinds, but ICFI still carries $0.8 bn of UPO and maintains strong positions in disaster recovery, energy efficiency, and digital modernization. Fixed-price contracts now half of revenue, improving visibility and margin leverage. New AEG acquisition expands utility client set, partially offsetting federal softness. Key watch items are DOGE audit exposure and OB3 Act implementation impacts, yet liquidity (26.9 m cash, 488 m revolver capacity) affords operational flexibility.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(dollar amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of ICF International, Inc. (“ICFI”) and its principal subsidiary, ICF Consulting Group, Inc. (“Consulting,” and together with ICFI, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Consulting is a wholly owned subsidiary of ICFI. ICFI is a holding company with no operations or assets other than its investment in the common stock of Consulting. All other subsidiaries of the Company are wholly owned by Consulting. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The terms “federal” or “federal government” refer to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refer to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated.
Software assets, which were previously included within “Property and equipment, net” and “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, have been reclassified and consolidated under “Other intangible assets, net”. To conform to the current year’s presentation, $
Previously separate financial statement line items “Depreciation and amortization” and “Amortization of intangible assets” on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been combined under “Depreciation and amortization”.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Key estimates include those that are related to variable consideration on contracts with customers, costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, collectability of receivables, valuation and useful lives of acquired tangible and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and contingencies. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates. During the three and the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $
Interim Results
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires greater disaggregation of income tax rates and amounts paid by entities. ASU 2023-09 specifically requires all entities to disclose, on an annual basis, disaggregated domestic and foreign pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations and the disaggregated income tax expense or benefit by federal, state, and foreign components, and a tabular rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, of eight specific categories as well as any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of a threshold computed by multiplying pretax income or loss from continuing operations by the applicable federal rate. Additionally, the amendments also require disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions as well as any individual jurisdictions over 5% of the total income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is expected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and, except for additional footnote disclosures, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 specifically requires all public entities to disclose within a tabular format the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities in each relevant expense caption as well as certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2024-03 also requires public entities to disclose a qualitative description of the composition of any amounts in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated and the amount and definition of the entity’s selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company for the 2027 fiscal year and interim periods within the 2028 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 and, except for additional footnote disclosures, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The decrease in the Company’s ETR for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to the increased Research and Experimentation tax credit in the second quarter of 2025 and the impact of foreign withholding taxes imposed upon a dividend distribution from our Canadian subsidiaries made during the second quarter of 2024.
The decrease in the Company’s ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to an income tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2025 from tax planning implemented in connection with the “transitional rules” governing unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses derived from translation of the operations, assets and liabilities of non-U.S. qualified subsidiaries provided by recently finalized U.S. federal tax regulations under Section 987 (“IRC 987”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The regulations under IRC 987 are effective for the Company for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and require computation of a pre-transition foreign currency gain or loss to be included in the determination of future taxable income or loss and an analysis of the various elections available to taxpayers. Based on the Company’s current analysis of the regulations and the available election to amortize its pre-2025 cumulative unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses impacting U.S. taxation of foreign earnings under Subpart F of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company recognized a non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $

Litigation and Claims
The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company provides a broad array of professional services to its clients across several markets, primarily within the U.S. The Company operates as a single reportable and operating segment because the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is the Chief Executive Officer, manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. Although the Company disaggregates revenue by client market and client type, it does not manage its business or allocate resources based on client market or client type.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully. The risk factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:
Our forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and the information available to our management at the time these disclosures were prepared. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.
The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “the Company,” as used throughout this Quarterly Report, refer to ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “federal” or “federal government” refer to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refer to U.S. state and local governments and the governments of U.S. territories. The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (our “Annual Report”).

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
We provide professional services and technology-based solutions, including management, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex business, natural resource, social, technological, and public safety issues. Our services primarily support clients that operate in three key markets:
We provide services to our diverse client base that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative. Our primary services include:
We believe that, in the long-term, demand for our services will continue to grow as government, industry, and other stakeholders seek to address critical long-term societal and natural resource issues due to heightened concerns about the environment and use of clean energy and energy efficiency; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; the means by which healthcare can be delivered effectively on a cross-jurisdiction basis; natural disaster relief and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats. In the wake of the major hurricanes that devastated communities in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and the impact of wildfires in Hawaii, Oregon, and southern California, the affected areas remain in various stages of evacuation, relief, and recovery efforts. We believe our prior and current experience with disaster relief and rebuild efforts, including after hurricanes Katrina and Rita and Superstorm Sandy, and the wildfires in Oregon, put us in a favorable position to continue to provide recovery and housing assistance, and environmental and infrastructure solutions, including disaster mitigation, on behalf of federal departments and agencies, state, territorial, and local jurisdictions, and regional agencies.
As the federal government sharpens its focus on efficiency, transparency, consolidation, and accountability, we see growth opportunities for ICF’s fit-for-purpose technology solutions. Our offerings are innovative, agile, scalable, and aligned with commercial best practices, delivering clear and measurable outcomes. By combining deep institutional knowledge of our clients’ markets and data with our proven expertise in AI, open source, cloud-native, and commercially off the shelf low-code and no-code platforms, we are able to deliver highly functional, cost-effective solutions that meet the evolving demands of our customers while driving greater value and impact for taxpayers.
Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements that span the entire program life cycle, and to complete and successfully integrate additional strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on building scale in our vertical and horizontal domain expertise, developing business with our existing clients as well as new customers, and replicating our business model in selective geographies. In doing so, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities that enhance our subject matter knowledge, broaden our service offerings, gain access to or expand customer relationships, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.
Although we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain business challenges facing all government service providers. The very nature of opportunities arising out of disaster recovery means they can involve unusual challenges. Factors such as the overall stress on communities and people affected by disaster recovery situations, political complexities, challenges among involved government agencies, and a higher-than-normal risk of audits and investigations may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow; however, we believe we are well positioned to provide a broad range of services in support of initiatives that will continue to be priorities to the federal government, as well as to state and local and international governments and commercial clients.
As discussed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we received notices for termination-for-convenience pursuant to the recent executive orders issued by the Administration or actions by DOGE which resulted in a reduction of $418.2 million of our backlog. The revenue recognized in fiscal year 2024 from the contracts subject to these terminations represented approximately 6.4% of the total 2024 fiscal year revenue.

Revenue. The decrease in revenue was driven by a reduction of $68.8 million from our U.S. federal government clients primarily as a result of terminated contracts during 2025 due to the Administration’s changing priorities and the actions recommended by DOGE, as well as the disruption of the typical U.S. federal government procurement cycle. This decline was offset by increases of $31.5 million, $0.9 million, and $0.6 million from our commercial, U.S. state and local government, and international government clients, respectively. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $20.5 million, or 15.5%, from the second quarter of 2024 and totaled $112.3 million and $132.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
21
Direct Costs. The decrease of $30.9 million in direct costs was primarily a result of terminated U.S. federal government contracts during 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 62.4% and 59.7%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 37.6% and 40.3%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 39.1% and 38.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 23.6% and 25.9%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 62.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 64.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Indirect and selling expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our indirect and selling expenses decreased by $4.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of a decrease of $4.6 million in general and administrative costs. The decrease in general and administrative costs was due, in part, to lower facilities expense as a result of facility consolidations in the fourth quarter of 2024. Our indirect and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue were 25.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization. Our depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.5 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisition of Applied Energy Group (“AEG”) in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Interest, net. The increase of $0.7 million in interest, net, was primarily due to higher average debt balance of $542.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $493.8 million for the same period in 2024. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of our debt reduced our interest expense by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a reduction of $1.7 million for the same period in 2024. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest rate was 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 5.3% for 2024.
Other (expense) income. Other (expense) income increased $1.7 million primarily due to an increase in unrealized foreign currency loss, resulting from depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British pound, the principal currencies in which we transact. If the U.S. dollar experiences additional depreciation in 2025, we may incur additional foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 21.0% and 26.3%, respectively. The difference was primarily due to the increased research and experimentation tax credit in the second quarter of 2025 and the impact of foreign withholding taxes imposed upon a dividend distribution from our Canadian subsidiaries made during the second quarter of 2024.

Revenue. The decrease in revenue of $42.7 million was driven by a reduction of $103.4 million from our U.S. federal government clients primarily as a result of terminated contracts in the first six months of 2025 due to the Administration’s changing priorities and the actions recommended by DOGE, as well as the disruption of the typical U.S. federal government procurement cycle. This decline was offset by increases of $57.5 million, $2.4 million, and $0.8 million from our commercial, international government, and U.S. state and local government clients, respectively. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $30.4 million, or 12.0%, and totaled $222.9 million and $253.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
Direct Costs. The decrease of $38.9 million in direct costs was primarily a result of terminated U.S. federal government contracts during the first six months of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 62.9% and 60.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 37.1% and 39.6%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 39.2% and 38.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 23.1% and 25.2%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 62.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 63.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
23
Indirect and selling expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our indirect and selling expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 0.5%, compared to the prior year, as a result of a decrease of $4.5 million in general and administrative costs, offset by an increase of $3.2 million in indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs. The decrease in general and administrative costs was due, in part, to lower facilities expense as a result of facility consolidations in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs was due in part to the impact of severance in the current period. Our indirect and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue were 26.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization. Our depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $10.8 million which is comparable to depreciation and amortization of $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisition of AEG in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Interest, net. Our interest, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $15.8 million which is comparable to interest, net, of $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of our debt decreased our interest expense by $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a reduction of $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest rate was 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 5.5% for 2024.
Other (expense) income. Other (expense) income increased $4.4 million year-over-year primarily due to $2.8 million in unrealized foreign currency loss, resulting from depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British pound, the principal currencies in which we transact, and $1.7 million gain from divestiture of our commercial marketing business during 2024. If the U.S. dollar experiences additional depreciation in 2025, we may incur additional foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 15.7% and 23.4%, respectively. The difference was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $4.5 million recognized in the first quarter of 2025 from tax planning implemented in connection with the “transitional rules” governing unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses derived from translation of operations, assets, and liabilities of non-U.S. qualified subsidiaries provided by recently finalized U.S. federal tax regulations under IRC 987.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The following tables provide reconciliations of financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“non-GAAP”) to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to investors and may be useful in evaluating our financial information and assessing ongoing trends to better understand our operations, 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, thus limiting their use for comparability.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a measure we use to evaluate operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We evaluate these adjustments on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including their size and nature, as well as whether we expect them to recur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow as these measures do not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures, and debt service.

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“Non-GAAP Diluted EPS”) represents diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share (“U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS”) excluding the impact of certain items noted above, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the related income tax effects. While these adjustments may be recurring and not infrequent or unusual, we do not consider these adjustments to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We believe that the supplemental adjustments provide additional useful information to investors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. In addition to cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations, our primary source of liquidity is from our Credit Facility with a syndicate of multiple commercial banks, as described in “Note 5 – Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report. The Credit Facility requires that we remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants (as defined by the Credit Agreement, see “Note 10 – Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report for additional details). As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants, and we had $488.3 million available under the Credit Facility to fund our ongoing operations, future acquisitions, dividend payments, and share repurchase program.
We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for a total notional value of $175.0 million to hedge a portion of our floating-rate Credit Facility, of which $150.0 million in swaps will expire in 2028 and the remaining $25.0 million will expire in 2030. We may consider entering into additional swap agreements before these existing hedges expire. As of June 30, 2025, the percentage of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt was 38%.
There are other conditions, such as the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and volatility in global trade (including the imposition of tariffs), that create uncertainty in the global economy, which in turn may impact, among other things, our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and our ability to successfully execute and fund key initiatives. However, our current belief is that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowing capacity, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund ongoing operations, customary capital expenditures, quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases, and organic growth. Additionally, we continuously analyze our capital structure to ensure we have capital to fund future strategic acquisitions.
We continuously monitor the state of the financial markets to assess the availability of borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and the cost of additional capital from both debt and equity markets. At present, we believe we will be able to continue to access these markets on commercially reasonable terms and conditions if we need additional capital in the near term.
Dividends. We have historically paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders of record at $0.14 per share. Total dividend payments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $5.2 million.
Cash dividends declared thus far in 2025 are as follows:

Cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the timing of invoicing our customers, subsequent collection of cash, paying our vendors, and by the profitability of our contracts.
The change in cash used in financing activities of $43.0 million was primarily due to increased net borrowings from our Credit Facility and short-term financing, partially offset by an increase in share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and have concluded that as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause us to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Share Repurchase Program. One of the objectives of our share repurchase program has been to offset dilution resulting from our employee incentive plan. The timing and extent to which we repurchase our shares will depend upon the approval by our board of directors, market conditions, and other corporate considerations, as may be considered in our sole discretion. Repurchases are funded from our existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 31,339 shares under our share repurchase program at an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million. As of June 30, 2025, $111.7 million of repurchase authority remained available for share repurchases.
Repurchases of Equity Securities. The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 for our share repurchase program and shares purchased in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations related to the settlement of restricted stock units.
