ICF International Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

Total Revenue Increased 14 Percent

Core Business Revenue Up 24 Percent

Organic Growth Rate of 20 Percent

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FAIRFAX, Va. (August 5, 2010)—ICF International, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter Results and Highlights

Total revenue for the 2010 second quarter reached $199.6 million, an increase of 14 percent over total revenue of $175.4 million reported in the 2009 second quarter and 24 percent above core business revenue1 of $160.6 million reported for last year’s second quarter. The second quarter of 2009 included $14.8 million of total revenue from The Road Home contract. Organic revenue2 growth was 20 percent for the 2010 second quarter.

Net income was $7.2 million, a 39 percent increase over the $5.2 million reported for last year’s second quarter. Earnings per diluted share were $0.37 compared to $0.33 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009. For the 2010 second quarter, the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 19.6 million compared to 15.7 million shares in the 2009 second quarter. The increase resulted primarily from the 3.6 million shares issued in connection with the Company’s secondary public offering, which was completed in December 2009.

“Our second quarter performance was at the high end of our guidance range,” noted Sudhakar Kesavan, chairman and chief executive officer. “Each of our markets achieved significant revenue growth, driven primarily by the continued strength of our federal government business, and we posted an exceptional organic growth rate of 20 percent. Operating income increased 25 percent, benefiting from higher revenue without a commensurate increase in indirect and selling expenses.”

“This was a solid sales quarter for ICF in which we captured several important contracts in the federal, state, and commercial markets. Quarter-end backlog was $1.3 billion, similar to levels at the end of the 2010 first quarter, and our pipeline is $2.9 billion,” Mr. Kesavan said.

Backlog and New Business Awards

Backlog was $1.3 billion at the end of the 2010 second quarter. Funded backlog was $549 million, or 43 percent of the total.

The total value of contracts awarded in the second quarter of 2010 was $162 million compared to $143 million in the second quarter of 2009.

 

1

Core business revenue excludes revenue from The Road Home contract.

2

Organic revenue excludes revenue from The Road Home contract and revenue from acquisitions closed during the previous four quarters.


Key contracts won in the second quarter included:

 

   

Health Informatics: A new $19 million, 41-month contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for enhanced data collection support for public health applications and comparative effectiveness research for up to 15 cancer registries. For more than 10 years, ICF has supported the National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System.

 

   

Health Information Resource Center: A new $11.6 million contract with the CDC to develop a resource center for broad-scale community action to reduce chronic disease. Focused on combating obesity and reducing tobacco use, the center will provide expert information on policy, systems and environmental change, technical assistance, training, tools, and materials to 44 communities funded by CDC through the Communities Putting Prevention to Work Program.

 

   

Energy Efficiency: A $6.5 million recompete contract with the City and County of San Francisco to implement energy efficiency programs, including the San Francisco Energy Watch program and a federally funded Home Performance program.

 

   

Energy Efficiency and Clean Energy: Two new contracts with an aggregate ceiling of $8.5 million to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program and Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant recipients. Under these programs, ICF will support grantee energy efficiency and clean energy initiatives in the municipal, institutional, and health care sectors.

 

   

Transportation: Four five-year contracts totaling $7 million with the New York State Department of Transportation to provide transportation demand management and Commuter Choice service planning. These contracts are designed to help improve traffic congestion, air quality, commuting, and mobility throughout the New York metropolitan area and the state.

 

   

Energy Efficiency: Two multi-million dollar energy efficiency contracts to assist two utilities with energy efficiency program management.

Summary and Outlook

“We expect 2010 to be a year of continued strong growth for ICF,” Mr. Kesavan said. “Based upon our year-to-date results and our current visibility, we are narrowing our total revenue guidance range for full year 2010 to $755 million to $775 million from the previous range of $740 million to $775 million and our organic revenue growth rate range to 13 percent to 16 percent from the previous range of 11 percent to 16 percent. We reaffirm our expectations for EBITDA3 margin in the range of 9 percent to 10 percent and for diluted EPS of $1.33 to $1.43, based on approximately 19.7 million fully diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 40.0 percent.”

For the third quarter of 2010, the Company expects total revenue of $195 million to $202 million and diluted EPS of $0.35 to $0.40, based on approximately 19.7 million fully diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 40.2 percent.

 

3 EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, which adds depreciation and amortization to operating income to derive EBITDA. We have provided EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance an understanding of our operating results. EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to operating income as a measure of operating performance or the cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Please refer to the table at the bottom of the statement of earnings in this release that reconciles GAAP operating income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
