FAIRFAX, Va.— November 5, 2020-- ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, president and chief executive officer said, “This was another quarter of strong performance for ICF, demonstrating the resilience of our diversified business model, excellent execution across our client set, and positive impact of our key growth catalysts.  

 

“Service revenue increased 3% year-on-year, led by programs for federal government clients and energy-related advisory and implementation work for commercial clients. Favorable business mix, higher utilization and lower SG&A costs drove Adjusted EBITDA¹ growth of 4.9% and resulted in a 14.3% Adjusted EBITDA margin on service revenue, 30 basis points above last year and 180 basis points ahead of the prior quarter.

 

“Another financial highlight of the third quarter was operating cash flow, which increased by $84 million, bringing year-to-date operating cash flow to $95 million, primarily due to improved collections. We utilized these funds to pay down $79 million of long-term debt associated with the January acquisition of ITG.

 

“This was the highest third quarter for contract wins in the company’s history, representing a trailing-12-month (TTM) book-to-bill ratio of 1.2, setting the stage for future growth. ICF was awarded $792 million in contracts, including strategic wins that align with the growth catalysts we have identified: IT modernization/digital

1


 

transformation, public health, commercial energy and disaster management. In disaster management, we have won small but strategic mitigation contracts in four states since the beginning of this year and are awaiting award decisions on larger contracts in additional jurisdictions.”

 

Third Quarter 2020 Results

 

Third quarter 2020 total revenue was $360.3 million, 3.6% below the $373.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2019, due primarily to lower pass-through revenues. Service revenue increased 2.9% to $264.7 million from $257.2 million. Net income was $17.9 million, down 9.0% from the $19.6 million in the third quarter 2019. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounted to $0.94, 7.8% below the $1.02 reported in the prior year’s third quarter. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.10 per diluted share, as compared to $1.12 in the year-ago quarter.

 

Year-on-year net income and EPS comparisons reflected increased interest and amortization expense related to the ITG acquisition, which was completed on January 31, 2020, as well as a higher income tax rate.

 

EBITDA¹ was $36.9 million, up 3.6% from the $35.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $37.8 million, 4.9% above the $36.0 million reported in the comparable quarter of 2019. Third quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA margin on service revenue expanded by 30 basis points year-on-year to 14.3%.

 

Backlog and New Business Awards

 

Total backlog was $2.9 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Funded backlog was $1.5 billion, or approximately 53% of the total backlog. The total value of contracts awarded in the 2020 third quarter was $792 million, resulting in a TTM book-to-bill ratio of 1.2.

 

Government Revenue Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

 

Revenue from government clients was $247.0 million, steady year-over-year.

 

 

U.S. federal government revenue was $175.1 million compared to $148.3 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 18% year-on-year. Federal government revenue accounted for 49% of total revenue, compared to 40% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2019.

Summary and Outlook

 

“Strong year-to-date performance highlighted by a 4.1% increase in service revenue, has enabled us to raise our guidance for EPS. Specifically, we now expect GAAP diluted EPS to range from $3.15 to $3.30 exclusive of special charges, up from the previous guidance midpoint of $3.00, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.90 to $4.05, up from the previous guidance midpoint of $3.65. We now expect 2020 revenues to range from $1.460 billion to $1.500 billion.

 

“Additionally, we have increased our operating cash flow guidance to approximately $120 million for 2020, up from previous guidance of $110 million, and representing a 31% increase from 2019 levels.

 

“Looking ahead, we are confident in ICF’s growth prospects heading into 2021. In addition to our substantial year-to-date contract awards, our business development pipeline was $6.8 billion at the end of the third quarter, representing significant opportunities in both the government and commercial arenas. We are well-positioned in high-profile areas of federal government spending including IT modernization and public health; bring substantial qualifications and scale to the growing areas of disaster management and mitigation; and are leaders in providing consulting and implementation services to the utility industry. These business attributes, together with a strong corporate culture, position ICF to achieve mid-single-digit organic growth in service revenue in the coming years.

In addition to these growth catalysts, we are pleased that at ICF our business, environmental and social responsibilities are intertwined. Much of our business is in core service areas that address environmental and social issues, including climate, energy efficiency, disaster management, public health and social programs, which enables us to create positive impacts.  Moreover, we are a leader in the way we operate, including being the first professional services firm to go carbon neutral (in 2006), and embracing social justice, diversity and equal pay. We are proud of ICF’s ability to make a positive impact on society,” Mr. Wasson concluded.

 

1 Non-GAAP EPS, Service Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income 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.

(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: These costs consist primarily of consultants and other outside third-party costs, as well as integration costs associated with an acquisition.

 

 

 

 

 

(6) Special charges related to severance for staff realignment: These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers, groups of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a consolidation or reorganization or, to the extent that the costs are not included in the previous two categories, involuntary employee termination benefits for employees who have been terminated as a result of COVID -19.

 

 

 

 

 

(7) Special charges related to facilities 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 27.2% and 23.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 25.7% and 23.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 reclassifications.
