Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of ICF International, Inc. (“ICFI”) and its wholly-owned principal subsidiary, ICF Consulting Group, Inc. (“Consulting,” and together with ICFI, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). ICFI is a holding company with no operations or assets other than its investment in the common stock of Consulting. All other subsidiaries of the Company are wholly owned by Consulting. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis including those that relate to revenue recognition (including estimates of variable considerations and remaining costs to complete fixed-price contracts), expected credit losses, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets acquired from business combinations, and reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized net income of $0.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as a result of net changes in estimates related to fixed-price contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.

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 annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with 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 the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in as a single operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 specifically requires all public entities to disclose within a tabular format the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities in each relevant expense caption as well as certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2024-03 also requires public entities to disclose a qualitative description of the composition of any amounts in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated and the amount and definition of the entity’s selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective, retrospective, or modified basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06.

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The Company sells certain billed accounts receivable in accordance with its Amended Master Receivables Purchase Agreement with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) that are accounted for as sales under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”).

The following is a reconciliation of billed accounts receivable sold to MUFG:

The aggregate impact of the sale of billed accounts receivable on the Company’s operating cash flows was net inflows of $7.9 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amounts due to MUFG for cash collected and not yet remitted for billed accounts receivable sold that did not qualify as sales under ASC 860 totaled $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables on contracts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed. Contract liabilities result from advance payments received on a contract or from billings in excess of revenue recognized.

The following table summarizes the contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


	Financial Statement Classification	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025			$ Change
Contract assets	Contract assets	$	192,231		$	186,684		$	5,547
Contract liabilities - current	Contract liabilities		(44,635	)		(43,444	)		(1,191	)
Contract liabilities - non-current	Other long-term liabilities		(12,017	)		(3,043	)		(8,974	)
Net contract assets (liabilities)		$	135,579		$	140,197		$	(4,618	)

The decrease in net contract assets (liabilities) is primarily due to the timing difference between the performance of services and billings to customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $13.9 million and $12.8 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

In computing unfulfilled performance obligations (“UPO”), the Company excludes contracts with stated term of one year or less (practical expedient), and contracts with the U.S. federal government. As of March 31, 2026, the UPO was $0.2 billion, of which 46% is expected to be recognized as revenue by December 31, 2026, 64% by December 31, 2027, 86% by December 31, 2028, and the remainder by December 31, 2029.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

At March 31, 2026, the Company had floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) for an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, of which $50.0 million will mature on February 28, 2030, $25.0 million will mature on June 26, 2030, and $100.0 million will mature on July 31, 2030. The Company has designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. See “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” for details on the impact of the Swaps on the Company’s interest rates, and “Note 12 – Fair Value” for the fair value of these Swaps.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate (the “ETR”) was 25.1% and 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in the ETR was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $4.5 million, or 14.8%, recognized in the first quarter of 2025 related to the regulations under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) 987, and income tax provisions of $1.9 million, or 6.9%, in the first quarter of 2026 attributable to stock-based compensation vesting.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

The Company had open standby letters of credit totaling $1.6 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Open standby letters of credit reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $5.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of bank guarantees for facility leases and contract performance obligations.

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 its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company provides a broad array of professional services to its clients across several markets, primarily within the U.S. The Company operates as a single reportable and operating segment because the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), which is the Chief Executive Officer, manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. Although the Company disaggregates its revenue by client market and client type, it does not manage its business or allocate resources based on client market or type.

The CODM assesses performance of the segment based on consolidated net income that is reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The CODM uses consolidated net income to evaluate the Company’s performance against budgets and decide whether to use the profits to invest in the business, paydown debt, repurchase stock, pay dividends, or fund acquisitions. Asset information provided to the CODM is not used for the purpose of making decisions and assessing performance of the Company.

The segment revenue, significant segment expenses, and segment profit are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Revenue	$	437,500	$	487,618
Significant segment expenses:
Direct labor and related fringe benefit costs		167,983		191,930
Subcontractors and other direct costs		102,654		110,612
Indirect and selling expenses		118,827		131,891
Depreciation and amortization		5,571		5,318
Amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations		7,609		9,477
Interest expense		6,806		7,423
Provision for income taxes		6,868		3,150
Other segment expense (1)		660		966
Net Income	$	20,522	$	26,851

(1) Other segment expense includes interest income and gains/losses on foreign currency and disposition of assets.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 10, 2026, the Company completed the refinancing of its current Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated May 6, 2022 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent, BOFA Securities, Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the joint lead arrangers, certain other financial institutions as lenders, and certain guarantors party thereto.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement: (a) maintains a $600 million revolving credit facility (together and inclusive of a $75 million swing line sublimit and $100 million sublimit for letters of credit); (b) increases the existing term loan facility from $300 million to $450 million; (c) maintains a delayed draw term loan facility of $400 million; (d) increases the existing incremental credit facility from an aggregate principal amount of not more than $300.0 million, to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $300.0 million and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, plus the amounts of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans; (e) amends the definition of “Consolidated Indebtedness” to net Unrestricted Cash and replaces the existing maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant with a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, which is maintained at a maximum of 4.50 to 1.00 (with temporary increases to 5.00 to 1.00 for the three fiscal quarters following a “Material Permitted Acquisition”); (f) extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility until April 10, 2031; and (g) modifies certain definitions and covenants.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

We provide professional services and technology-based solutions, including management, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex business, natural resource, social, technological, and public safety issues. Our clients include U.S. federal, state, local and international governments or their agencies, as well as commercial entities. Our services primarily support clients that operate in these key markets:

•

Energy, Environment, Infrastructure, and Disaster Recovery;

•

Health and Social Programs; and

•

Security and Other Civilian & Commercial.

We provide services to our diverse client base that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative. Our primary services include:

•

Advisory Services;

•

Program Implementation Services;

•

Analytics Services;

•

Digital Services; and

•

Engagement Services.

We believe that, in the long-term, demand for our services will continue to grow as government, industry, and other stakeholders seek to address critical long-term societal and natural resource issues due to heightened concerns about the environment and use of clean energy and energy efficiency; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; the means by which healthcare can be delivered effectively on a cross-jurisdiction basis; natural disaster relief and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats. In the wake of the major hurricanes that devastated communities in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and the impact of wildfires in Hawaii, Oregon, and southern California, the affected areas remain in various stages of evacuation, relief, and recovery efforts. We believe our prior and current experience with disaster relief and rebuild efforts, including after hurricanes (Katrina, Rita, and more recently Helene and Milton) and Superstorm Sandy, and the wildfires in Oregon, put us in a favorable position to continue to provide recovery and housing assistance, and environmental and infrastructure solutions, including disaster mitigation, on behalf of federal departments and agencies, state, territorial, and local jurisdictions, and regional agencies.

As the federal government continues to sharpen its focus on efficiency, transparency, consolidation, and accountability, we see growth opportunities for our fit-for-purpose technology solutions. Our offerings are innovative, agile, scalable, and aligned with commercial best practices, delivering clear and measurable outcomes. By combining deep institutional knowledge of our clients’ markets and data with our proven expertise in artificial intelligence, open source, cloud-native, and commercially available off the shelf low-code and no-code platforms, we are able to deliver highly functional, cost-effective solutions that meet the evolving demands of our customers while driving greater value and impact for taxpayers.

Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements that span the entire program life cycle, and to complete and successfully integrate additional strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on building scale in our vertical and horizontal domain expertise, developing business with our existing clients as well as new customers, and replicating our business model in selective geographies. In doing so, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities that enhance our subject matter knowledge, broaden our service offerings, gain access to or expand customer relationships, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.

Although we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain business challenges facing all government service providers. The very nature of opportunities arising out of disaster recovery means they can involve unusual challenges. Factors such as the overall stress on communities and people affected by disaster recovery situations, political complexities, challenges among involved government agencies, and a higher-than-normal risk of audits and investigations may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow; however, we believe we are well positioned to provide a broad range of services in support of initiatives that will continue to be priorities to the federal government, as well as to state and local and international governments and commercial clients.

Revenue. The decrease in revenue was driven by a reduction of $56.7 million from our U.S. federal government clients primarily as a result of terminated contracts during the first half of 2025 due to the Administration’s changing priorities and the actions recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency. Revenue from our commercial, U.S. state and local government, and international government clients increased a combined $6.6 million to offset the decrease of revenue from our U.S. federal government clients. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:

•

Energy, Environment, Infrastructure, and Disaster Recovery client market revenues decreased $6.4 million, or 2.7%, due to a decrease of $11.3 million from our U.S. federal government clients, offset by increases of $2.8 million, $1.9 million, and $0.2 million from our commercial, international government, and U.S. state and local government clients, respectively.

•

Health and Social Programs client market revenues decreased $26.8 million, or 15.9%, due to decreases of $31.8 million and $0.4 million from our U.S. federal government and U.S. state and local government clients, respectively, offset by increases of $3.2 million and $2.2 million from our international government and commercial clients, respectively.

•

Security and Other Civilian & Commercial client market revenues decreased by $16.9 million, or 21.2%, due to decreases of $13.6 million, $3.1 million, and $0.3 million from our U.S. federal government, commercial, and international government clients, respectively, offset by an increase of $0.1 million from our U.S. state and local government clients.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $8.0 million, or 7.2%, from the first quarter of 2025 and totaled $102.7 million and $110.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the margin on such costs.

Direct Costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 62.1% and 63.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 37.9% and 36.6%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 38.4% and 39.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 23.5% and 22.7%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Indirect and selling expenses. The change in total indirect and selling expenses were due to decreases of $10.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs and general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of indirect and selling expenses were 73.6% and 74.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and general and administrative costs as a percentage of indirect and selling expenses were 26.4% and 25.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $5.6 million which was comparable to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The decrease of $1.9 million in amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations from $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to certain intangible assets previously acquired becoming fully amortized.

Interest, net. The decrease of $0.6 million in interest, net, was primarily due to lower average debt balance of $453.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $514.3 million for the same period in 2025. Interest from debt facilities was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of debt facilities resulted in an increase of interest by less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a reduction of $0.7 million for the same period in 2025. The average interest rate for our debt facilities was 5.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 5.7% for the same period in 2025. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest rate was 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 5.1% for the same period in 2025.

Other expense. The decrease in other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to foreign currency expense in 2026 of $0.3 million compared to $1.0 million in 2025, partially offset by losses from disposal of assets of $0.5 million in 2026 associated with early exits from certain leased facilities.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 25.1% and 10.5%, respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s statutory rate to the effective tax rate (the “ETR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Statutory tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
State taxes, net of federal benefit		6.0	%		6.0	%
IRC 987 regulations		—			(14.8	%)
Stock-based compensation		6.9	%		1.5	%
Uncertain tax position		2.5	%		3.9	%
Tax credits		(9.1	%)		(11.3	%)
Other		(2.2	%)		4.2	%
Effective tax rate		25.1	%		10.5	%

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The following tables provide reconciliations of financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“non-GAAP”) to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to investors and may be useful in evaluating our financial information and assessing ongoing trends to better understand our operations, they should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may define similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, thus limiting their use for comparability.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a measure we use to evaluate operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We evaluate these adjustments on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including their size and nature, as well as whether we expect them to recur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow as these measures do not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures, and debt service.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(in thousands)	2026		2025
Net income	$	20,522	$	26,851
Interest, net		6,709		7,337
Provision for income taxes		6,868		3,150
Depreciation and amortization		13,180		14,795
EBITDA		47,279		52,133
Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses (1)		649		259
Severance and other costs related to staff realignment (2)		—		2,550
Charges and adjustments related to facility consolidations and office closures (3)		972		256
Total Adjustments		1,621		3,065
Adjusted EBITDA	$	48,900	$	55,198

(1)

These are primarily third-party costs related to potential and/or closed acquisitions and integration of closed acquisitions.

(2)

These costs are due to involuntary employee termination benefits for (i) our officers and (ii) group of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a business reorganization or exit.

(3)

These charges and adjustments are related to previously exited leased facilities and the closure of certain international offices.

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“Non-GAAP Diluted EPS”) represents diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share (“U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS”) excluding the impact of certain items noted above, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the related income tax effects. While these adjustments may be recurring and not infrequent or unusual, we do not consider these adjustments to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We believe that the supplemental adjustments provide additional useful information to investors.

The following table presents a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS to Non-GAAP Diluted EPS for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026			2025
U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS	$	1.12		$	1.44
Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses		0.04			0.01
Severance and other costs related to staff realignment		—			0.14
Charges and adjustments related to facility consolidations and office closures		0.06			0.01
Amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations (1)		0.41			0.51
Income tax effects of the adjustments (2)		(0.13	)		(0.17	)
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS	$	1.50		$	1.94

(1)

The amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations totaled $7.6 million and $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(2)

Income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items, if any, of 25.1% and 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. In addition to cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations, our primary source of liquidity is the Credit Facility with a syndicate of commercial banks, as described in “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report. The Credit Facility requires that we remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants (as defined by the Credit Agreement, see “Note 8 - Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report for additional details). As of March 31, 2026, we remained in compliance with these covenants, and we had $512.4 million available under the Credit Facility to fund our ongoing operations, future acquisitions, dividend payments, and share repurchase program. On April 10, 2026, we completed the refinancing of the Credit Facility, see “Note 15 - Subsequent Events” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.

We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for a total notional value of $175.0 million to hedge a portion of our floating-rate Credit Facility. The interest rate swaps will expire in 2030, but we may consider entering into additional swap agreements prior to the expiration of these existing hedges. As of March 31, 2026, the percentage of our fixed-rate debt to total debt from our Credit Facility was 40%.

We provide support services to the U.S. federal government and any prolonged federal government shutdown may affect our abilities to generate cash from that business to certain degrees. There are other conditions, such as the ongoing wars in Ukraine, instabilities in the Middle East, and volatility in global trade (including the imposition of tariffs), that create uncertainty in the global economy, which in turn may impact, among other things, our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and our ability to successfully execute and fund key initiatives. However, our current belief is that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowing capacity, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund ongoing operations, customary capital expenditures, quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases, and organic growth. Additionally, we continuously analyze our capital structure to ensure we have capital to fund future strategic acquisitions.

We continuously monitor the state of the financial markets to assess the availability of borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and the cost of additional capital from both debt and equity markets. At present, we believe we will be able to continue to access these markets on commercially reasonable terms and conditions if we need additional capital in the near term.

Dividends. We have historically paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders of record at $0.14 per share. Total dividend payments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $2.6 million.

Cash dividends declared thus far in 2026 are as follows:


Dividend Declaration Date	Dividend Per Share		Record Date	Payment Date
February 26, 2026	$	0.14	March 27, 2026	April 14, 2026
May 7, 2026	$	0.14	June 5, 2026	July 10, 2026

Cash Flow. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(in thousands)	2026			2025
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities	$	(3,142	)	$	(33,034	)
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities		(2,830	)		(3,452	)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities		15,137			41,024
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash		(232	)		737
Net Change in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	$	8,933		$	5,275

Net cash used in operations decreased by $29.9 million, primarily due to higher cash collections from customers and timing of payment of vendors.

Cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.6 million as a result of lower capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2025.

Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $25.9 primarily due to lower net borrowings from our Credit Facility and short-term borrowings, partially offset by reduced share repurchases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Share Repurchase Program. One of the objectives of our share repurchase program has been to offset dilution resulting from our employee incentive plan. The timing and extent to which we repurchase our shares will depend upon the approval by our board of directors, market conditions, and other corporate considerations, as may be considered in our sole discretion. Repurchases are funded from our existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 217,513 shares under our share repurchase program at an aggregate price of $15.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, $78.9 million of repurchase authority remained available for future approved share repurchases.

Repurchases of Equity Securities. The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 for our share repurchase program and shares purchased in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations related to the settlement of restricted stock units.


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)		Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (2)
January 1 - January 31		13,248	$	94.53		—	$	93,965,514
February 1 - February 28		313	$	94.53		—	$	93,965,514
March 1 - March 31		251,621	$	68.71		217,513	$	78,919,258
Total		265,182	$	70.03		217,513

(1)

The total number of shares purchased includes shares purchased from employees to pay required withholding taxes related to the settlement of restricted stock units in accordance with our applicable long-term incentive plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 47,669 shares of common stock from employees in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations at an average price of $74.04 per share.

(2)

The current share repurchase program authorizes share repurchases in the aggregate up to $300.0 million. Our Credit Facility permits annual share repurchases of at least $25.0 million; provided, that the Company is not in default of its covenants, and higher amounts provided that our Consolidated Leverage Ratio prior to and after giving effect to such repurchases is 0.50 to 1.00 less than the then-applicable maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and subject to a net liquidity of $100.00 million.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

On March 7, 2026, John Wasson, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, (and his spouse) adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions under Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The trading arrangement provides for the sale of up to 37,133 shares held in trusts associated with Mr. Wasson and terminates on the earlier of the date all shares covered by the trading arrangement have been sold and July 8, 2028.
