Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Interim Results

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) for the interim period presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating and reportable segment. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Certain immaterial amounts in the 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. The Company believes the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their estimated fair values at March 31, 2014, due to their short maturities. The Company recognizes activity related to its forward contract agreements and contingent consideration payable in connection with acquisitions at fair value as further described in Note 9. The Company believes the carrying value of the lines of credit payable approximate the estimated fair value for debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings at March 31, 2014. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014.

Nature of Operations

The Company provides management, technology, and policy professional services in the areas of energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, social programs, and consumer/financial; and public safety and defense. The Company’s major clients are U.S. federal government departments and agencies, most significantly the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), Department of State (“DOS”) and Department of Defense (“DoD”). We also serve U.S. state and local government departments and agencies; non-governmental organizations, non-U.S. governments, and multilateral institutions; and commercial clients worldwide, such as airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, financial institutions, health payer and provider organizations, law firms, multinational corporations, non-profit organizations, oil companies, and retail firms. The Company offers a full range of services to these clients, including strategy, analysis, program management, and information technology solutions that combine experienced professional staff, industry and institutional knowledge, and analytical methods.

Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 3. Contract Receivables

Contract receivables consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Billed	$	140,726		$	106,658
Unbilled		103,914			100,157
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(1,725	)		(1,753	)
Contract receivables, net	$	242,915		$	205,062

Contract receivables, net of the established allowance for doubtful accounts, are stated at amounts expected to be realized in future periods. Unbilled receivables result from revenue that has been earned in advance of billing. Unbilled receivables can be invoiced at contractually defined intervals or milestones, as well as upon completion of the contract or government audits. The Company anticipates that the majority of unbilled receivables will be substantially billed and collected within one year, and therefore, classifies them as current assets in accordance with industry practice.

The Company considers a number of factors in its estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts, including the customer’s financial condition, historical collection experience, and other factors that may bear on collectability of the receivables. The Company writes off contract receivables when such amounts are determined to be uncollectible. Losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for claims held for amounts due a entity, excluding financing receivables. Examples include, but are not limited to, trade accounts receivables, notes receivables, loans receivables. Includes disclosure for allowance for credit losses.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Road Home Contract

Although no legal proceeding has been commenced, the Company has received correspondence from the Office of Community Development of the State of Louisiana, claiming that the Company is responsible for the overpayment of Road Home program grant funds to some grant applicants. The State has also indicated that, as it continues to review homeowner grant calculations, it expects to assert additional demands in the future, increasing the aggregate claim amount. The total claim received by the Company to date is approximately $85.7 million. The Company believes this claim has no merit, intends to vigorously defend its position, and has therefore not recorded a liability as of March 31, 2014.

Long-term Debt [Text Block]

Note 6. Long-Term Debt

The Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) on March 14, 2012, as amended on May 29, 2012 and on July 31, 2013, with a syndication of eleven commercial banks to allow for borrowings of up to $500.0 million for a period of five years (maturing March 14, 2017) under a revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility amends and restates the Company’s previous agreement entered into on February 20, 2008, which had allowed for borrowings of up to $350.0 million. The Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $400.0 million without a borrowing base requirement, taking into account financial, performance-based limitations. The Credit Facility also provides for an “accordion feature,” which permits additional revolving credit commitments of up to $100.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval. The Company incurred approximately $2.0 million in additional debt issuance costs in 2012 related to amending the Credit Facility, which are amortized over the term of the agreement. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants, as defined in the Credit Facility, require, among other things, that the Company maintain, on a consolidated basis for each quarter, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Facility.

The Company has the ability to borrow funds under its Credit Facility at interest rates based on both LIBOR and prime rates, at its discretion, plus their applicable margins. Interest rates on debt outstanding ranged from 1.40% to 1.42% for the first three months of 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $127.2 million in long-term debt outstanding, $1.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, and available borrowing capacity of $270.9 million under the Credit Facility (excluding the accordion feature). Taking into account the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity was $270.9 million as of March 31, 2014.

Note 7. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2013, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of $18.5 million as of March 31, 2014, related to unvested stock options and unsettled restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.06 years. The unrecognized compensation expense related to cash-settled RSUs (“CSRSUs”) totaled approximately $10.0 million at March 31, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.4 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted approximately 0.3 million shares in the form of equity compensation, including stock options, and stock-settled RSUs, and granted approximately 0.1 million shares in the form of CSRSUs to its employees. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 1.8 million shares available for grant under its 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended. CSRSUs have no impact on the shares available for grant under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and have no impact on the calculated shares used in earnings per share calculations.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, was 38.9% and 40.4%, respectively.

The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax statutes and regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and require the application of significant judgment. The Company’s 2008 through 2013 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal tax purposes. In addition, certain significant state and foreign tax jurisdictions are either currently under examination or remain open under the statute of limitations and subject to examination for the tax years from 2008 to 2013.

The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Included in the balance as of March 31, 2014 was $0.5 million of tax positions that, if recognized, would have a favorable impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax benefits may decrease by approximately $0.2 million.

The Company reports penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in net income before tax. The Company has made no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes or additional foreign taxes on future unremitted earnings of its controlled foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers these earnings to be permanently invested.

Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The fair value standards require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. When a valuation includes inputs from multiple sources at various levels in the fair value hierarchy, the assets or liabilities are classified at the lowest level for which the input has a significant effect on the overall valuation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted primarily of contingent consideration in connection with the Company’s acquisition of ECA in July 2013. In accordance with the purchase agreement for ECA, the Company is required to pay consideration in the event that ECA achieves certain specified earnings results during the three fiscal-year end periods post-acquisition, ending December 31, 2015. At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines the fair value of contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow model which includes a probability assessment of expected future cash flows related to ECA. The fair value measurement uses significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus, represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value measurement of contingent consideration was zero and $2.8 million, respectively. The change in the fair value measurement of $2.8 million was recorded as a reduction to indirect and selling expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In addition, the Company accounts for forward contract agreements in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. The fair value of the hedges at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the changes in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were immaterial.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into stock. The difference between the basic and diluted weighted-average equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation is due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock and settlement of RSUs. The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs excludes shares that would be anti-dilutive to the calculation of EPS if included. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, less than 0.1 million anti-dilutive weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, approximately 0.4 million anti-dilutive weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS. The dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs for each period reported is summarized below:
