Fairfax, Virginia, November 6, 2006 -
ICF International, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICFI), a leading provider of consulting services
and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, reported revenue
and earnings growth for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Third-Quarter Results
Revenue for the period was US$107.8 million, an increase of 156 percent from the
$42.2 million reported for last year’s third quarter. This year’s third-quarter
revenue performance included $55 million representing the first contribution from
the Company’s recently-awarded Housing Program Management Services contract
to help restore Louisiana’s housing infrastructure. The three-year program
has a total contract value of $756 million.
Earnings from operations for the period were $6.3 million, which included a nonrecurring
charge of $2.7 million for one-time bonus payments and $0.3 million in noncash compensation
expenses as required under FAS 123(R). This was a 271 percent increase from the
2005 third quarter, when the Company had earnings from operations of $1.7 million.
The one-time bonus was negotiated under an incentive plan that has been in place
since 1999 and was triggered by the completion of the Company’s initial public
offering (IPO).
Net income for the quarter increased to $3.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share,
from the $1.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, earned in the comparable 2005
period, an increase of 138 percent. Pro forma diluted earnings per share, excluding
the nonrecurring charge and FAS 123(R) expense, were $0.44.
On September 28, 2006, ICF Common Stock began trading in the Company’s initial
public offering of 3,659,448 shares (4,670,000 shares including shares sold by selling
stockholders) at a price of $12.00 per share. After full exercise of the underwriters’
overallotment option in October to purchase an additional 700,500 shares, aggregate
net proceeds to the Company after offering expenses were approximately $46.5 million.
The initial public offering, exclusive of the overallotment option, is reflected
on ICF’s September 30, 2006, balance sheet as a receivable from the underwriters,
as the settlement date was subsequent to the close of the reporting period.
Commenting on the results, Sudhakar Kesavan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said, "Our strong third-quarter financial performance reflects growing demand for
ICF’s combination of advisory and implementation services, and our ability
to utilize superior domain expertise to execute key projects for government and
commercial clients."
"ICF achieved several significant milestones in the third quarter that should create
positive momentum in the periods ahead," Mr. Kesavan noted. Highlights include:
- ICF won recompetitions totaling $147 million during the quarter, representing 98
percent of potential revenue from recompetitions, in addition to winning significant
new government and commercial contract awards totaling $51 million during the quarter.
- ICF met the deadlines established for the first phase of the Louisiana Housing Program
Management Services Contract.
- ICF successfully completed its IPO. This offering has enabled the Company to retire
its term and revolver debt, thereby providing the resources to support continued
organic growth and pursue strategic acquisitions.
Nine-Month Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2006 was $217.4 million, compared to $125.4
million last year, an increase of 73 percent. Earnings from operations were $7.9
million compared to $6.4 million, an increase of 24 percent. Included in earnings
from operations for the 2006 nine-month period were nonrecurring charges of $7 million,
of which $4.3 million related to a one-time charge for the abandonment of ICF’s
leased facility in San Francisco, CA, and a portion of its Lexington, MA, facility,
as well as a $2.7 million charge related to one-time bonus payments. Also included
in earnings from operations for the first nine months of 2006 were noncash compensation
expenses totaling $0.6 million, as required by FAS 123(R). Net income was $2.7 million,
or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.32 per
diluted share in the comparable period in 2005.
Excluding the FAS 123(R) expenses and nonrecurring charges noted above, earnings
from operations for the 2006 nine months were $15.5 million compared to $6.4 million
last year, an increase of 143 percent. Pro forma diluted earnings per share for
the nine months were $0.65. A table reconciling pro forma and GAAP earnings from
operations is included at the end of this press release.
Backlog and New Business Award Highlights
At the end of the third quarter, the Company had total backlog of $317 million,
of which 49 percent was funded. This compares to total backlog at the end of the
second quarter of $310 million, of which 62 percent was funded.
In addition, on October 19, 2006, the Company announced that it had received funding
authorization for the Second and Third Phases of the Housing Management Services
Contract for the State of Louisiana's Office of Community Development. The contract
value of these two phases is approximately $669 million, and this amount will represent
an addition to Q4-funded backlog. This follows the four-month Phase I funding of
$87 million announced on June 30, an amount that was included in the reported second-quarter
backlog. The contract term for these phases is scheduled to expire in June 2009.

Pro Forma Income Statement
Management believes that excluding the impact of certain one-time events and the
effect of FAS 123(R) provides a better comparison with prior results. The following
table reconciles earnings from operations after these adjustments to net income
and earnings per share. These adjustments are specified in Note A, below, and were
tax-effected by our estimated effective tax rate, and pro forma earnings per share
was adjusted by the Company’s weighted average basic and fully diluted shares
outstanding.

Caution Concerning Forward-looking Statements
This document may contain “forward-looking statements”—that is, statements related to future—not past—events, plans, and prospects. In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “guidance,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For ICF, particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company’s future results include: risks related to the government contracting industry, including possible changes in government spending priorities; risks related to our business, including our dependence on contracts with U.S. federal government agencies and departments and continued good relations, and being successful in competitive bidding, with those customers; performance by ICF and its subcontractors under a major contract with the State of Louisiana, Office of Community Development; uncertainties as to whether revenues corresponding to the Company’s contract backlog will actually be received; strategic actions, including the ability to make acquisitions and the performance and future integration of acquired businesses; risk associated with operations outside the United States; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These uncertainties may cause ICF’s actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. ICF does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
