OCO Holdings, Inc

(“

Olson

”)

On November 5, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Olson, a leading provider of marketing technology and digital services based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

As a result of the acquisition, Olson became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $298.2 million in cash was funded by the Company’s Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 below). The acquisition expands the Company’s existing digital technology and strategic communications work and strengthens its ability to bring more integrated solutions to an expanded client base including multi-channel marketing initiatives across web, mobile, email, social, print, broadcast and off-premise platforms. For further discussion of the Olson acquisition, refer to “Note F,

Business Combinations

” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Olson is based on management’s preliminary estimate of fair value as of the acquisition date and is subject to revision until the purchase price adjustments and valuations of intangible assets and goodwill are finalized, which will be completed within a one-year measurement period ending November 5, 2015. Due to the significance of the Olson acquisition, use of the measurement period is necessary to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in the allocation of the purchase price to goodwill and to other acquired intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $5.1 million related to measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has allocated approximately $230.2 million to goodwill resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash	$	8,816

and interest expense, and records income tax effects as if Olson had been included in the Company’s results of operations. The pro forma information also includes an adjustment to eliminate $1.9 million of operating income related to the reduction of an Olson contingent liability that was settled as a result of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the 2013 (in thousands except per share amounts):

Mostra SA

(“Mostra”)

In February 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Mostra, a strategic communications consulting company based in Brussels, Belgium.

Mostra offers end-to-end, multichannel communications solutions to assist government and commercial clients, in particular the European Commission. The acquisition extends the Company’s strategic communications capabilities

globally to complement its policy work and enhance its strategy of providing a full suite of services that leverage its research and advisory services. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company finalized its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition. The purchase was immaterial to the Company’s financial statements taken as a whole.

CityTech, Inc.

(“

CityTech

”)

In March 2014, the Company acquired CityTech, a Chicago-based digital interactive consultancy specializing in enterprise applications development, web experience management, mobile application development, cloud enablement, managed services, and customer experience management solutions. The acquisition adds expertise to the Company’s content management capabilities and complements its digital and interactive business.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company finalized its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition. The purchase was immaterial to the Company’s financial statements taken as a whole.

Ecommerce Accelerator LLC

(“

ECA

”)

In July 2013, the Company hired the staff of, and purchased certain assets and liabilities from ECA, an e-commerce technology services firm based in New York, New York. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded a contingent consideration payable at the estimated fair value of $2.8 million at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the contingent liability was reduced to zero in the first quarter of 2014 and the change in the fair value measurement of $2.8 million was recorded as a reduction to indirect and selling expenses. We are no longer required to pay contingent consideration to ECA, as the parties mutually agreed to the release of this potential obligation in the third quarter of 2014. The purchase was immaterial to the Company’s financial statements taken as a whole. The addition of ECA enhanced ICF’s multi-channel, end-to-end e-commerce solutions.

The entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. The disclosure may include leverage buyout transactions (as applicable).

Note 4. Contract Receivables

Contract receivables consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
Billed	$	167,930		$	165,934
Unbilled		110,607			96,207
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(2,138	)		(1,887	)
Contract receivables, net	$	276,399		$	260,254

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.

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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 6 . 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 $113.3 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, 2015.

Note 7 - Long-term Debt	3 Months Ended
Note 7 - Long-term Debt	Mar. 31, 2015
Notes to Financial Statements
Long-term Debt [Text Block]	Note 7. Long-Term Debt The Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a syndication of 11 commercial banks on May 16, 2014, which was further modified on November 5, 2014 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on May 16, 2019 (five years from the closing date). The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $500.0 million without a borrowing base requirement, taking into account financial, performance-based limitations and provides for an “accordion,” which permits additional revolving credit commitments of up to $100.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval. The Credit Facility provides for stand-by letters of credit aggregating up to $30.0 million that reduce the funds available under the revolving line of credit when issued. 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, 2015, 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 2.17% to 4.25% for the first three months of 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $377.3 million in long-term debt outstanding, $6.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, and unused borrowing capacity of $116.5 million under the Credit Facility (excluding the accordion). Taking into account the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity (excluding the accordion) was $80.2 million as of March 31, 2015.

Note 8 - Accounting for Stock-based Compensation	Mar. 31, 2015
Notes to Financial Statements
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Note 8. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.0 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of $21.0 million as of March 31, 2015, related to unvested stock options and unsettled restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years. The unrecognized compensation expense related to cash-settled RSUs (“CSRSUs”) totaled approximately $21.1 million at March 31, 2015 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted approximately 0.2 million shares in the form of stock-settled RSUs, and granted approximately 0.1 million shares in the form of CSRSUs to its employees. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a performance-based share program (the “Program”) that provides for the issuance of performance shares to its senior management. Under the Program, the number of performance shares that the participant will receive depends on the Company’s achievement of two performance goals during two performance periods. The performance goals under the Program are based on (i) the Company’s compounded annual growth rate in earnings per share (“EPS”) during a performance period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016, and (ii) the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) relative to its peer group during a performance period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. The performance shares will only be eligible to vest following the expiration of the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2017. Actual shares vested will be subject to both continued employment by the Company (barring certain exceptions) and actual financial measures achieved. The actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued to each participant at the end of the applicable performance period will be determined by multiplying the award by the product of two percentages, one based on the Company’s EPS performance and a second one based on the Company’s rTSR performance, subject to a minimum and maximum performance level. The Company recognizes expense for these awards on a straight-line basis over the performance period based on the estimated fair value of the awards and the estimated number of shares expected to vest. The initial estimate for shares expected to vest is based on target performance and adjusted as appropriate throughout the performance period. The fair value of the awards is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model due to the relative total shareholder return component. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million performance awards with a grant-date fair value of $44.21 per share. Compensation expense recognized related to performance awards for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was less than $0.1 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to performance awards of $2.6 million as of March 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 1.1 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 EPS calculations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 9. Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was 40.0% and 38.9%, 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 2014 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 2014. The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $0.7 million. Included in the balance as of March 31, 2015 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 $0.3 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.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 10. 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 and settlement of RSUs.

Performance awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s performance awards outstanding at March 31, 2015 did not meet the related performance conditions and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

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 periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately 0.2 million and less than 0.1 million anti-dilutive weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS, respectively.

The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs for each period reported is summarized below:

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework and supersedes almost all existing revenue recognition guidance. Included in the new principles-based revenue recognition model are changes to the basis for deciding on the timing for revenue recognition. In addition, the standard expands and improves revenue disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. The proposal is yet to be ratified. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Subtopic 835-30) which amends the current presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of as an asset. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
