      FAIRFAX, Va., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --

      First Quarter Highlights:

      • Total Revenue Was $378 Million; Service Revenue¹ Was $280 Million, up 9.5%
      • Diluted EPS Was $0.96 Compared to $0.55
      • Non-GAAP EPS¹ Was $1.13, up 36%
      • Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Service Revenue¹ Was 13.5%
      • Record Contract Awards of $596 Million up 67%; TTM Contract Awards Were $2.2 Billion For a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 1.44

      —Expects Full Year 2021 Service Revenue, EBITDA¹ and EPS to be at Upper End of the Guidance Ranges—

      ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

      Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "This was an excellent quarter for ICF, underscoring our positioning in high-growth markets within both the government and commercial arenas, and representing efficient execution on client programs. Additionally, this was another quarter of robust contract awards that indicate how well ICF's domain expertise and implementation capabilities are aligned with market demand.

      "Results exceeded our expectations, led by double-digit revenue increases in our government and commercial energy businesses, where IT modernization, public health, mitigation/resilience, energy efficiency and utility advisory work remained major growth catalysts.

      "Strong service revenue growth of 9.5%, together with higher utilization, drove substantial operating leverage. Earnings and EBITDA¹ increased at considerably higher rates than revenue, even as we moved ahead with investments in people and technologies to expand our capabilities in the high-growth markets we have identified. Gross margin of 38.7% included a significant quarter-specific benefit primarily related to the timing of several recently awarded fixed price energy efficiency contracts on which certain program costs will be incurred in upcoming quarters and the timing of energy efficiency incentive fees on several contracts. 

      "This was ICF's third consecutive quarter of record contract awards, with strong year-on-year increases in federal, state and local and commercial energy wins, virtually all in response to RFPs that were issued prior to the arrival of the new administration. At the end of the first quarter, our pipeline remained over $6 billion, representing diversified growth opportunities across our government and commercial client sets," Mr. Wasson noted.

      First Quarter 2021 Results

      First quarter 2021 total revenue was $378.5 million, an increase of 5.6% from the $358.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2020. Service revenue growth was 9.5% year-over-year to $279.6 million, from $255.4 million. Net income amounted to $18.4 million in the 2021 first quarter, and diluted EPS was $0.96 per diluted share, inclusive of $0.05 of tax-effected special charges primarily related to facility closure and severance costs. In the 2020 first quarter, net income was $10.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, inclusive of $0.16 of tax-effected special charges primarily related to M&A and severance costs.

      Non-GAAP EPS was $1.13 per share, an increase of 36% over the $0.83 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA was $36.4 million, 49.5% ahead of the $24.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $37.7 million, compared to $28.0 million reported in the comparable quarter of 2020. First quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin on service revenue was 13.5%, representing a 260-basis point increase from the 10.9% reported in the 2020 first quarter.

      Backlog and New Business Awards

      Total backlog was $3.0 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Funded backlog was $1.6 billion, or approximately 52% of the total backlog. The total value of contracts awarded in the 2021 first quarter was $596.1 million, up 67% year-on-year for a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.57. Trailing-twelve-month (TTM) contract awards totaled $2.19 billion for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.44.  

      Government Revenue First Quarter 2021 Highlights

      Revenue from government clients was $270.1 million, up 12.9% year-over-year.

      • U.S. state and local government revenue was $57.2 million compared to $60.9 million in the year-ago quarter, with the lower year-on-year comparisons primarily representing reduced pass-through revenues. State and local government clients accounted for 15% of total revenue, compared to 17% of total revenue in the 2020 first quarter.
      • International government revenue was $37.1 million, representing a 62.5% year-over-year increase, primarily related to a short-term project. International government revenue accounted for 10% of total revenue, up from 6% in the first quarter of 2020.

      Summary and Outlook

      "ICF's first quarter results represented a strong start to the year and have laid the foundation for significant growth across key metrics in 2021. Based on this performance and our current backlog and pipeline, we now expect full year 2021 service revenue, EBITDA and EPS to be at the upper end of the guidance ranges we provided at the time of our fourth quarter earnings release, namely service revenue of $1.095 billion to $1.13 billion; EBITDA of $145 million to $155 million; GAAP EPS of $3.90 to $4.20; and Non-GAAP EPS of $4.35 to $4.65. We continue to anticipate total revenue in 2021 of $1.525 billion to $1.575 billion, and we reaffirm our expectation that operating cash flow will be approximately $100 million.

      "As noted last quarter, approximately 55% of our 2020 service revenue represented ICF's work in key growth areas, namely IT modernization, public health, disaster management, energy efficiency and utility consulting, along with climate, environment and infrastructure consulting, all of which are closely aligned with the priorities of the new administration. Taken together, we expect the growth rate in these areas to be 10% or more over the next several years.

      "At ICF, much of our business is in service areas that enable us to create positive impacts on society and we, in turn, have prioritized being a good corporate citizen. This has attracted like-minded people who have been instrumental to our success and share our commitment to carbon neutrality, diversity, social justice and equality. We encourage you to access our most recent corporate citizenship report, available on our website, to learn more about how ICF addresses its environmental, social and governance responsibilities," Mr. Wasson concluded.

      1 Non-GAAP EPS, Service Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Service Revenue 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 statement 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.

      (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) Subcontractor and other direct costs is direct costs excluding direct labor and fringe costs.


      (4) Adjustment related to impairment of long-lived assets: We recognized impairment expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 related to impairment of a right-of-use lease asset.


      (5) Special charges related to acquisitions: These costs consist primarily of consultants and other outside third-party costs and integration costs associated with an acquisition.


      (6) Special charges related to severance for staff realignment: These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers, groups of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a consolidation or reorganization or, to the extent that the costs are not included in the previous two categories, involuntary employee termination benefits for employees who have been terminated as a result of COVID-19.


      (7) Special charges related to facilities consolidations and office closures:  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 we will continue to pay until the contractual obligation is satisfied but with no economic benefit to us.


      (8) Special charges related to retirement of the former Executive Chair: As a result of the employment agreement, the departing officer was able to maintain certain equity awards beyond his date of employment. The 2019 equity award held by the former Executive Chair was updated for a change in the performance factor.


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


      (10) Income tax effects were calculated using an effective U.S. GAAP tax rate of 26.7% and 18.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
