Insights

ICF's Q2 2024 results demonstrate strong financial performance and strategic positioning. Key highlights include:

  • Revenue increased 2.4% year-over-year to $512 million, with a 6.2% increase when adjusted for divestitures.
  • GAAP EPS rose 27% to $1.36, while Non-GAAP EPS grew 7.6% to $1.69.
  • EBITDA increased 17.2% to $55.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA grew 9.9% to $56.0 million.
  • Contract awards reached a record $810 million, up 83% year-on-year, resulting in a trailing twelve-month book-to-bill ratio of 1.40.

The company's performance was driven by favorable business mix, higher utilization and strong demand in the Energy, Environment, Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery segment. This segment grew 14%, accounting for 45% of total revenues. The shift towards higher-margin revenues, particularly from commercial energy clients, contributed to margin expansion and improved profitability.

ICF's increased guidance for full-year 2024 reflects confidence in its business model and market positioning. The revised EPS guidance of $5.60 to $5.90 (GAAP) and $6.95 to $7.25 (Non-GAAP) represents significant year-on-year growth. The company's robust backlog of $3.8 billion and record business development pipeline of $10.5 billion provide visibility for sustained growth.

Investors should note the company's strategic focus on high-demand areas such as energy efficiency, grid resilience and IT modernization, which align well with current market trends and government priorities. The increasing percentage of contract awards with AI components also positions ICF favorably in the evolving technology landscape.

ICF's Q2 2024 results underscore the company's strong positioning in the energy sector, particularly in areas critical to the ongoing energy transition. The 24.8% growth in energy markets revenue, which now comprises 86.6% of commercial revenue, is particularly noteworthy.

Key trends driving this growth include:

  • Energy Efficiency Programs: Continued robust demand from utility clients for core energy efficiency programs.
  • Grid Resilience: Increasing focus on strengthening power infrastructure against climate-related challenges.
  • Electrification: Growing initiatives to shift various sectors towards electric power.
  • Decarbonization: Ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions across industries.
  • Flexible Load Management: Rising importance of managing power demand, especially with increasing data center loads.

The significant contract wins with utilities across the U.S. for energy efficiency program implementation demonstrate ICF's strong market position. These programs are important as utilities strive to meet regulatory requirements and consumer demands for more sustainable energy use.

The company's expertise in integrating AI into energy solutions is a key differentiator. As the energy sector becomes increasingly data-driven, ICF's ability to leverage AI for improved efficiency and decision-making will likely be a major growth driver.

Looking ahead, ICF is well-positioned to capitalize on the substantial investments flowing into the energy sector, driven by federal initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. These policies are accelerating the transition to clean energy and creating significant opportunities in areas where ICF has demonstrated expertise.

ICF's Q2 2024 results reveal a nuanced picture in its government contracting business. While overall government revenue grew modestly at 1.8% year-over-year, there are several important trends to note:

  • Federal Government: Revenue remained relatively flat at $273.5 million, with a slight 0.2% increase. However, this was impacted by a $9.1 million decrease in subcontractor and other direct costs, suggesting improved profitability on federal work.
  • State and Local Government: Revenue increased by 4.7% to $84.8 million, indicating growing opportunities at this level.
  • International Government: Showed strong growth of 9.5%, reaching $28.7 million.

The company's success in securing major contract awards is particularly impressive. The $236.8 million recompete contract with USAID for the Demographic and Health Surveys Program demonstrates ICF's strong position in health and social programs. The $87.7 million subcontract for CMS's Quality Payment Program modernization highlights ICF's capabilities in IT modernization, a key focus area for federal spending.

The $84.1 million recompete contract with Puerto Rico for disaster recovery and mitigation efforts underscores ICF's expertise in this critical area. This aligns well with increasing government focus on climate resilience and disaster preparedness.

ICF's book-to-bill ratio of 1.40 for the trailing twelve months indicates strong future revenue potential from its government contracts. The company's ability to win new business, accounting for approximately 55% of first-half awards, suggests its services remain highly relevant to government priorities.

The increasing incorporation of AI components in contract awards positions ICF well for future government work, as agencies increasingly seek to leverage advanced technologies for improved efficiency and effectiveness.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Net Income Was $25.6 Million and GAAP EPS Was $1.36, Up 27%
  • Non-GAAP EPS1 Was $1.69, Up 8%

  • Contract Awards Were a Record $810 Million, Up 83% Year-on-Year for a TTM Book-to-Bill Ratio of 1.40

RESTON, Va., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a global consulting and technology services provider, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chair and chief executive officer, said, "We delivered strong performance across all key financial metrics in the second quarter, demonstrating the benefits of our diversified portfolio and reflecting continued favorable business mix. Revenues increased 2% year-on-year and increased 6% from last year's levels adjusting for the divestiture of our commercial marketing business lines in 2023.

"Similar to the first quarter, our second quarter results were led by robust growth in higher-margin revenues from commercial energy clients. We experienced especially strong demand from our utility clients for ICF's core energy efficiency programs as well as our expanded offerings in priority areas including grid resilience, electrification, decarbonization and flexible load management, all of which are particularly relevant given the growth in data center demand. Revenues from our Energy, Environment, Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery client market increased 14% to account for 45% of ICF's second quarter revenues, compared to its 41% contribution to last year's second quarter revenues.

"Margin expansion was a key driver of our strong second quarter earnings. In addition to favorable business mix and higher utilization, margin performance reflected lower facility costs, together with the benefits of our increased scale. Also, lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower interest expense enhanced our net income and earnings per share results for the period.

"This was a record second quarter of contract awards for ICF, which reached $810 million, representing a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.58 and a trailing twelve-month book-to-bill ratio of 1.40. New business wins accounted for approximately 55% of our first half awards, demonstrating how well ICF's capabilities are aligned with client spending priorities. Additionally, an increasing percentage of the value of our year-to-date awards represented contracts that include an AI component, a good indicator of our recognized expertise in this high-demand area."

Summary and Outlook

"Following our strong year-to-date performance and based on our current visibility for continued favorable business mix and utilization metrics, we are pleased to increase our earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2024. Our revised guidance is for GAAP EPS in the range of $5.60 to $5.90 and Non-GAAP EPS of $6.95 to $7.25, up $0.35 from prior guidance and representing year-on-year growth of 32.2% and 9.2%, respectively, at the midpoints. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to range between $225 million and $235 million, up from our prior guidance of $220 million to $230 million. The midpoint of this range will result in ICF achieving the three-year EBITDA objective we provided at our 2022 Investor Day adjusted for the 2023 divestitures, and we expect to accomplish this with substantially fewer acquisitions than originally contemplated.

"Our first half results have put us on track to achieve our full year revenue guidance for 2024. Based on our current visibility, we expect our Energy, Environment, Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery client market to show robust growth in the second half of this year, continuing to more than offset results in our Health and Social Programs client market, where gross revenue comparisons have been impacted by lower pass-through revenues. Operating cash flow guidance remains at approximately $155 million.

"A growing backlog and our record business development pipeline of $10.5 billion at the end of the second quarter support our expectations for continued strong growth in 2024 and give us confidence in ICF's ability to continue to grow at a high single-digit rate in the coming years. We are experiencing high demand from commercial clients for our energy and environmental expertise and implementation skills. We have excellent credentials to assist state and local government clients in meeting their planning, resilience and mitigation objectives, as well as supporting their disaster recovery efforts. We also have significantly expanded our capabilities in areas in the federal government that have bipartisan support, particularly IT modernization, which remains an area of priority spending.

"We appreciate the tremendous contributions of our staff in driving the success of ICF by supporting our clients with multi-disciplinary advisory work and cross-cutting implementation skills. Their passion for their work and for the impact it has on society is ICF's 'secret sauce'," Mr. Wasson concluded.

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.

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) Revenue from the 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).










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










(5) Represents impairment of an intangible asset associated with the exit of our commercial marketing business in the United Kingdom in 2023.










(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 they 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 either (i) will continue to pay until the contractual obligations are satisfied but with no economic benefit to us, or (ii) paid upon termination and ceasing to use the leased facilities.










(9) Pre-tax gain resulting from the release of an escrow related to the 2023 divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business.










(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 the non-GAAP measure by the 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 the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items, if any, of 26.3% and 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 23.4% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
