Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of ICF International, Inc. (“ICFI”) and its 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”). Consulting is a wholly owned subsidiary of ICFI. 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. The terms “federal” or “federal government” refer to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refer to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated.

Software assets, which were previously included within “Property and equipment, net” and “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, have been reclassified and consolidated under “Other intangible assets, net”. To conform to the current year’s presentation, $1.6 million and $21.8 million, as of December 31, 2024, have been reclassified from “Property and equipment, net” and “Other assets” to “Other intangible assets, net,” respectively.

Previously separate financial statement line items “Depreciation and amortization” and “Amortization of intangible assets” on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been combined under “Depreciation and amortization”.

Use of Estimates

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. Key estimates include those that are related to variable consideration on contracts with customers, costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, collectability of receivables, valuation and useful lives of acquired tangible and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and contingencies. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates. During the three and the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $5.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively, in net income as a result of changes in estimates related to fixed-price contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires greater disaggregation of income tax rates and amounts paid by entities. ASU 2023-09 specifically requires all entities to disclose, on an annual basis, disaggregated domestic and foreign pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations and the disaggregated income tax expense or benefit by federal, state, and foreign components, and a tabular rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, of eight specific categories as well as any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of a threshold computed by multiplying pretax income or loss from continuing operations by the applicable federal rate. Additionally, the amendments also require disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions as well as any individual jurisdictions over 5% of the total income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is expected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and, except for additional footnote disclosures, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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 2027 fiscal year and interim periods within the 2028 fiscal year, 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 and, except for additional footnote disclosures, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
