FAIRFAX, Va. (May 5, 2011) - ICF International, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Results and Highlights
For the first quarter, total revenue reached $194.7 million, an 11.6 percent increase over the $174.4 million reported for the 2010 first quarter. Organic revenue1 growth was 10.9 percent. Net income was $7.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, representing a 42.5 percent increase over net income of $5.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, earned in the comparable 2010 period. Operating income increased 32.9 percent to $13.4 million from the $10.1 million reported in last year’s first quarter.
“ICF’s strong first quarter 2011 performance was driven by solid revenue gains across each of our markets and client categories and demonstrates our excellent competitive positioning in the high-growth areas of commercial energy and the federal health and education markets,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sudhakar Kesavan. “Profitability benefited from a 40.8 percent revenue increase in our domestic commercial business, which was driven by energy efficiency work and related performance incentives, environmental management of infrastructure projects, and a pickup in energy transaction activity.”
“The pace of new contract wins was good, our backlog was seasonably stable and well diversified, and our pipeline exceeded $2.6 billion at the end of the first quarter,” Mr. Kesavan noted.
Backlog and New Business Awards
Backlog was $1.4 billion at the end of the 2011 first quarter. Funded backlog was $639 million, or 47 percent of the total.
The total value of contracts awarded in the first quarter of 2011 was $217 million.
1 Organic revenue excludes revenue from acquisitions closed during the previous four quarters.
Key contracts won in the first quarter included:
| • | Energy Efficiency: A $36.5 million re-compete contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to continue nearly two decades of support for the ENERGY STAR® PROGRAM. This particular contract supports the Labeling and Residential Branch of the program with a wide variety of research, marketing, information, evaluation, and management support functions. |
| • | Energy Efficiency: A new grant valued at up to $10 million to support global energy efficiency efforts of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the agency’s Energy Efficiency for Clean Development Program. ICF will help USAID address energy performance and greenhouse gas mitigation at missions worldwide. |
| • | Energy Efficiency: A new $4.3 million contract to support another major U.S. utility. ICF’s responsibilities under the contract encompass the areas of residential energy efficiency; whole house retrofit programs; and contractor recruitment, training, and program support. |
| • | Health: A new multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract by the U.S. Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with a capacity of $100 million. ICF is one of three winners to provide global epidemiology and strategic information services, with an emphasis on activities under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). |
| • | Information Technology: A new, multiple-award blanket purchase agreement valued at up to $108 million by the EPA to support the agency’s Information Technology Solutions - Business Information Strategic Support II (ITS-BISS II) program. Under the contract ICF will provide EPA’s information technology and information management policy, planning, and support services. |
| • | Transportation: A new ID/IQ contract by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Transportation Systems Center valued at up to $40 million. ICF will support the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 compliance area. |
| • | Commercial Sector: In addition to the energy efficiency projects already noted, more than 250 additional domestic and international commercial project wins in the areas of energy efficiency, power and gas market assessment, asset valuation, environmental management, and aviation. |
Summary and Outlook
“First quarter results marked a strong start to 2011 for ICF and illustrated the advantages of our balanced portfolio strategy in both the government and commercial sectors,” Mr. Kesavan said. “We expect results in the seasonally stronger second quarter to continue to reflect similar business trends, with revenues in the range of $212 million to $220 million and earnings per share in the range of $0.43 to $0.47, based on approximately 19.9 million weighted average number of shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 40.0 percent.”
“Based on funded backlog levels and our strong business development pipeline, we reaffirm our full year 2011 guidance of revenues in the range of $830 million to $865 million, which represent 10.8 percent growth at the midpoint and earnings per diluted share of $1.63 to $1.73, which represent 21.7 percent growth at the midpoint. This is based on approximately 20.1 million weighted average number of shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 40.0 percent.”
