RESTON, Va., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and technology services provider, reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chair and chief executive officer, said, "This was another strong year for ICF in which we achieved solid revenue growth, delivered strong profitability, and reported forward-looking metrics that point to continued growth in our commercial, state and local and international businesses. Our broad-based energy advisory work and program implementation for commercial clients was an important contributor to fourth quarter and full year revenue growth, reflecting robust demand for our energy efficiency work, grid resilience solutions, flexible load management plans and electrification programs. Revenues from commercial, state and local and international government clients, together with our IT modernization/digital transformation work for federal government clients, accounted for approximately 75% of ICF's 2024 revenues and remain areas of continued investment.

"The increasing contribution from our higher margin commercial work, together with high utilization across ICF and scale benefits, were key drivers of adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin on total revenues expanded by 30 basis points year-on-year to 11.2%, and lower interest expense drove a 33% increase in net income for the year. Operating cash flow generation was another financial highlight of 2024, surpassing our guidance to reach $172 million.

"We were pleased to announce in early January 2025 the acquisition of Applied Energy Group (AEG) that was completed on December 31, 2024. AEG is a leading energy technology and advisory services company with over 100 utility management and demand-side energy experts. AEG brings a highly trusted energy technology platform that is cloud-based and offers real-time business intelligence to electric and gas utilities, state and local governments, and state energy offices nationwide and provides best-in-class advisory services. AEG generated approximately $30 million in annual revenue in 2024 at margins comparable to our commercial energy business and its 2025 revenues are expected to increase at a mid-teens rate. The transaction is anticipated to be immediately accretive to ICF's Non-GAAP EPS."

Summary and Outlook

"2024 was a year of growth and substantial profitability for ICF. Our results continued to benefit from our diversified business model that enables us to be agile in shifting emphasis and resources to those areas that are expected to have the greatest growth potential. This agility will be essential in 2025 as we navigate changes in federal government spending priorities, and our strong financial position gives us the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

"Looking ahead, we expect ICF's 2025 total revenues, GAAP EPS and Non-GAAP EPS to range from flat to down 10% from 2024 levels, with a 10% decline representing the maximum downside risk we foresee from the loss of business primarily from federal government clients during this transition year. Underpinning this expectation is our projection that ICF's revenues from commercial energy, state and local and international government clients will grow at least 15% in the aggregate, and that revenues from our federal government clients will be challenged in 2025 by potential funding curtailments and a slower pace of new RFPs. Within this environment, we plan to manage expenditures to maintain similar adjusted EBITDA margins to those of 2024. This framework does not contemplate an extensive government shutdown this year, nor a prolonged period of pauses in funding modifications to existing contracts or new procurements. Operating cash flow in 2025 is projected to be approximately $150 million.

"First quarter 2025 revenues are expected to range from $480 million to $500 million, with GAAP EPS anticipated between $1.35 and $1.45 and Non-GAAP EPS within the range of $1.70 and $1.80, similar to results in the first quarter of 2024.

"ICF has a proven track record of effectively managing through dynamic business environments by conservatively assessing challenges and remaining agile to capture opportunities. From mid-November 2024 to-date, we repurchased 395,000 shares, demonstrating our confidence in ICF's long-term outlook and our commitment to delivering value to shareholders. Our ability to navigate volatility is underpinned by the dedication of our professional staff, who are committed to providing the highest quality services to our clients. We appreciate the contributions of ICF's employees to our success to-date and count on their continued support in 2025 and beyond," 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. 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⁾ 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 operating lease right-of-use and leasehold improvement assets associated with exit from certain facilities, and an intangible asset associated with exit of a business.

⁽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⁾ Includes pre-tax gain from the divestitures of our U.S. commercial marketing and Canadian mobile text aggregation businesses.

⁽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 20.9% and 21.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 20.2% and 22.8% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
