Announces New Executive Leadership Roles

ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

"Growth catalysts across our client set resulted in a revenue increase of 11 percent for full year 2019, representing positive year-on-year comparisons in each of our client categories," said John Wasson, president and chief executive officer. Revenue from government clients increased at a double-digit rate, led by considerable growth in state and local government and a significant pickup in federal government work in the second half of the year. Revenue from commercial clients, which accounted for approximately 35 percent of 2019 revenue, advanced by 6 percent year-over-year, driven by growth in marketing services and energy markets, which together comprised 93 percent of commercial revenue.

"Our business mix, higher utilization and a lower tax rate led to earnings per share increasing at a faster rate than revenue for full year 2019, and we ended the year with operating cash flow of $91 million, 22 percent ahead of 2018 levels.

"Fourth quarter earnings included special charges, the majority of which represented M&A expenses related to our acquisition of ITG, which closed at the end of January. This transaction has strengthened ICF's position in the federal IT modernization arena, and we see significant revenue synergies on the horizon by combining ICF's domain expertise and contract vehicles with ITG's best-in-class qualifications and leading platform expertise.

"ICF was awarded over $1.5 billion in contract awards in 2019, of which over 70 percent represented new business, and our business development pipeline was a robust $6.5 billion at year end, supporting our expectations for significant growth in 2020," Mr. Wasson noted.

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 operations 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.

2019 Recognitions

ICF received several important recognitions in 2019:

For the fourth and second straight years, respectively, Forbes included ICF on two of its coveted annual lists: "America's Best Management Consulting Firms" and "America's Best Midsize Employers."
ICF was named a "Fast Moving" brand by the Government Business Council in its 2019 Leading Brands in Government study.

Summary and Outlook

"2019 was a record year for ICF, and we look forward to continued growth ahead in 2020. In government markets, our federal government business development pipeline was at record levels at 2019 year-end, and our acquisition of ITG, which closed in late January 2020, provides further visibility and additional growth opportunities. We are pleased with recent wins to provide disaster management services in new geographies and we continue to expect this area to be a long-term growth driver for ICF. In commercial markets, we have a robust energy efficiency pipeline and are engaged in several pilot programs that position ICF at the leading edge of distributed energy consulting work for utilities. Also, we continue to leverage our commercial marketing services, loyalty platforms and engagement capabilities across our client set.

"Our guidance for 2020 is based on our current backlog and portfolio of business and does not include any additional material contract wins or expansions in the disaster recovery arena, nor any material benefit from new disaster recovery-related mitigation contract awards or energy efficiency contract wins in California, all areas that represent long-term growth opportunities for ICF," Mr. Wasson noted.

For full year 2020, ICF expects revenue of $1.60 billion to $1.65 billion and EBITDA of $145.0 million to $155.0 million, representing year-on-year growth of 10 percent and 16 percent, respectively, at the midpoints. GAAP earnings per diluted share is expected to range from $3.45 to $3.75, exclusive of special charges. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to range from $4.00 to $4.30. EPS guidance includes more than $0.30 per share in additional interest expense related to the ITG acquisition, as well as a higher tax rate. Per share guidance is based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 19.2 million. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $120 million, substantially ahead of 2019 levels.

Concluding, Mr. Wasson said, "The new executive leadership roles we announced today will ensure that ICF remains at the leading edge in our client work, while utilizing best practices across the company. Our growth profile and substantial bench strength enable us to leverage their leadership skills to strengthen areas that are critical to our continued success."

⁽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 intangible assets: We recognized impairment expense of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 related to intangible assets associated with a historical business acquisition.

⁽⁵⁾Special charges related to acquisitions, consisting primarily of consultants and other outside party costs, and an increase in the contingent consideration liability from a previous acquisition.

⁽⁶⁾Special charges related to severance for staff realignment: These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers and groups of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a consolidation or reorganization.

⁽⁷⁾Special charges related to facility consolidations, office closures, and our future corporate headquarters: 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. Additionally, we incurred one-time charges with respect to the execution of a new lease agreement for our corporate headquarters.

⁽⁸⁾Adjustment related to bad debt reserve: During 2018, we established a bad debt reserve for amounts due from a utility client that had filed for bankruptcy and included the reserve as an adjustment due to its relative size. The adjustment in 2019 reflects a favorable revision of our prior estimate of collectability based on a third party acquiring the receivables.

⁽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 24.5% and 29.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 23.6% and 25.9% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

⁽¹¹⁾As is shown in the supplemental schedule, we track revenue by key metrics that provide useful information about the nature of our operations. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of our expertise. Client type is an indicator of the diversity of our client base. Revenue by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that we have assumed.

⁽¹²⁾Certain immaterial revenue percentages in the prior year have been reclassified due to minor adjustments and reclassification within contract mix.
