#18395792 2126548 4567356 ICF Investor Presentation Q4 2023 H 3852575 867442 기기 기 VICE March 2024#2Cautionary statements Caution Concerning Forward-looking Statements Statements that are not historical facts and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may concern our current expectations about our future results, plans, operations and prospects and involve certain risks, including those related to the government contracting industry generally; our particular business, including our dependence on contracts with U.S. federal government agencies; and our ability to acquire and successfully integrate businesses. These and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in forward- looking statements that are included in the "Risk Factors" section of our securities filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date hereof, and we specifically disclaim any obligation to update these statements in the future. Note on Non-GAAP Measures The information presented in this presentation regarding certain unaudited adjusted results and certain historical adjusted results does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and should not be construed as an alternative to our reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ICF has included this non-GAAP information to assist in understanding the operating performance of the company. The non-GAAP information provided may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies to prepare similar non-GAAP measures. All non-GAAP information has been reconciled with reported U.S. GAAP under Appendix 1 and 2 of this presentation. Additionally, ICF does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to the variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (such as the effect of share-based compensation or the impact of future extraordinary or non-recurring events like acquisitions) is available to ICF without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, ICF is unable to estimate the probable significance of the unavailable information. ICF provides forward-looking non- GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achievable, but it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations, and the U.S. GAAP financial measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP financial measures. 2 ICF#3ICF: A professional + technology services firm 3 Serve a roster of government clients with social + environmental missions, energy utilities + commercial clients Deliver strong cross- cutting capabilities in technology + engagement 品 L A growth platform combining organic initiatives + acquisitions H 100º Leverage deep domain expertise to achieve superior results for clients Benefit from visibility of a substantial backlog + growth profile of commercial revenues ICF#4Synergy in markets + capabilities ICF's work across core service areas including climate, energy efficiency, disaster management, public health and social programs addresses environmental and social issues Energy, Environment, Infrastructure + Disaster Recovery 41%¹ Health and Social Programs 42%¹ Security and Other Civilian + Commercial 17%¹ Advisory + Strategy Program Management Technology, Analytics + Engagement 'Percentages based on full-year 2023 financials released on February 27, 2024 4 ICF#5Track record of strong revenue and EPS growth ↑ Revenue 5-year CAGR 8.0% Non-GAAP EPS 5-year CAGR 11.7% 15-year Revenue and Non-GAAP EPS CAGRS calculated over 2018-2023 5 ICF#6Multiple catalysts for long-term organic growth 6 Energy efficiency and utility consulting 上 Climate, environment and infrastructure consulting Disaster management ⚫ IT modernization / digital transformation Public health H ~80% of revenue from continuing operations in 2023 represented work in these key growth areas, which are expected to grow 10% or more in the aggregate over the next several years ICF#7Utility consulting and decarbonization programs ● ICF is a leader in implementing decarbonization programs (energy efficiency, electrification, flexible load management) for utilities Supporting utility transformation: distributed energy, grid resilience, and electrification (EVs, buildings, other) ● Majority long-term contracts Utility work across North America 210+ 75+ Active programs Utility clients 20 Large portfolios Industry leading planning and policy development 30 Location of ICF U.S. energy clients DSM program design clients 7 27 40+ Potential study clients Related regulatory testimonies ICF#8Climate, environment and infrastructure consulting ● ● ● IL ICF has one of the largest full-service climate consulting practices in the U.S. 40+ years of climate-related experience -
