Margin Performance Which Includes Continued Growth Investments—

ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021

Commenting on the results, John Wasson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "Our fourth quarter operating results were in line with our expectations, capping a year of strong performance. As anticipated, service revenue was similar to that of the third quarter, led by strong growth in our government and commercial energy client categories. In the fourth quarter, we continued to benefit from our expanded capabilities in key growth areas, namely IT modernization/digital transformation, public health, disaster management and utility consulting, as well as climate, environment and infrastructure. Together, annual revenues from these markets increased over 10% and accounted for approximately 65% of our full year 2021 service revenue.

"ICF reported exceptional margins in 2021 with adjusted EBITDA to service revenue reaching 13.9% for the fourth quarter and 14.4% for the full year. Both full year and fourth quarter performance reflected a favorable business mix, high utilization and lower facility-related costs, together with pandemic-related expense savings. While certain operating expense items will increase with the return of pre-pandemic activities, we are confident in our ability to progressively increase normalized EBITDA margins over the next several years through a combination of scale, lower facility costs and other operating efficiencies.

"Both the fourth quarter and full year were periods of record contract wins for ICF, bringing our book-to-bill ratios to 1.68 and 1.45, respectively. Approximately two-thirds of the value of the contracts we won in 2021 represented new business, a clear indication of how well aligned ICF's subject matter expertise and implementation capabilities are with trends in market demand and client spending.

"In the fourth quarter, we were pleased to announce the acquisition of Creative Systems and Consulting, which we completed at the start of 2022. Creative is a premier provider of IT modernization and digital transformation solutions to U.S. federal agencies that brings substantial expertise in Salesforce and Microsoft platforms, which complements our leading ServiceNow and Appian capabilities. We expect this acquisition to provide significant opportunities for revenue synergies over time as ICF now will offer leading practices supporting the most widely adopted low-code/no-code platforms in the federal government."

Summary and Outlook

"Last year was a period of significant achievement for ICF. Our service revenue growth rate was substantially higher than in 2020, reflecting excellent execution on existing contracts and demonstrating our strong positioning in key growth markets, where we continue to build our capabilities, backlog and pipeline. These accomplishments have laid the foundation for even stronger growth in 2022.

"Looking ahead, we expect 2022 to be a year of double-digit service revenue growth, driven by high single-digit organic growth and the benefit of our Creative acquisition. Business trends are anticipated to be similar to those of 2021, with revenue growth from our government and commercial energy clients more than offsetting lower comparisons in commercial marketing services, where activity has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Specifically, we expect service revenue for full year 2022 to range from $1.225 billion to $1.275 billion, representing year-on-year growth of over 12% at the midpoint. Pass-through revenues are anticipated at approximately 28% of total revenue in 2022, implying total revenue of $1.7 billion to $1.76 billion.

"EBITDA is expected to range from $160 million to $172 million, which includes continued organic investments in people, recruiting, technology and expanded business development capabilities and tools to ensure we take full advantage of the strong long-term demand trends in our growth markets. Based on current visibility, adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $168 million to $180 million, equivalent to an adjusted EBITDA margin on service revenue of 13.9% at the midpoints of the ranges. This represents a 50-basis point expansion from the 13.4% we reported pre-pandemic in 2019. The difference between EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA guidance is primarily due to the add-back of a non-cash rent expense of approximately $8 million associated with our new Reston, Virginia, headquarters. GAAP EPS is projected at $4.15 to $4.45, and non-GAAP EPS is expected to range from $5.15 to $5.45, representing increases of 15% and 10%, respectively, over 2021. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $130 million in 2022.

"We expect the positive trends underlying our 2022 guidance to remain in place over the coming years given spending priorities across our government and commercial client sets and ICF's domain knowledge, cross-cutting implementation skills and expanded scale. The great majority of our work in any given year involves helping clients address critical environmental and social issues, which has enabled ICF to attract and retain professionals who are committed to making a positive impact on society. On our part, we are committed to providing those professionals with a collaborative working environment that meets the highest standards of corporate responsibility. We encourage you to visit our website to learn more about our achievements in this area," Mr. Wasson concluded.

(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 long-lived assets: We recognized impairment expense of $7.9 million during 2021 and $3.1 million in 2020 related to impairment of right-of-use lease assets.

 

(5) Special charges related to acquisitions: These costs consist primarily of consultants and other outside third-party costs and integration costs associated with our acquisitions and/or potential acquisitions.

         

(6) Special charges related to severance for staff realignment: These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for Company officers, groups of employees who have been 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: 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 (i) continue to pay until the contractual obligation is satisfied but with no economic benefit to us or (ii) we contractually terminated the obligation and ceased utilizing the facilities.

         

(8) Special charges related to the transfer to our new corporate headquarters:  These costs are additional rent as a result of us taking possession of our new corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia, during the fourth quarter of 2021 while maintaining our current headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.  We intend to complete the transition to our new corporate headquarters by the end of 2022 when our Fairfax lease ends.

         

(9)Special charges related to retirement of Executive Chair: These costs include severance, pro rata incentive bonus, welfare benefits, and acceleration of equity awards we incurred under the departing officer's severance agreement during the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result of the employment agreement, the departing officer was able to maintain certain equity awards beyond his retirement date, including performance-based awards that are subject to changes until they vest.

         

(10) EBITDA Margin Percent and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Percent were calculated by dividing the non-GAAP measure by the corresponding revenue.

         

(11)Income tax effects were calculated using an effective U.S. GAAP tax rate of 28.9% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, and 28.5% and 26.4% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
