Commenting on ICF’s third quarter results, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sudhakar Kesavan said, “As expected, revenue growth continued to be driven by substantial increases in business with our commercial and non-U.S. government clients, which in the aggregate accounted for 29 percent of total revenues, up from 24 percent in last year’s third quarter. This strong performance more than offset the continued headwinds in business with the U.S. Federal Government. Organic revenue growth ¹ rates in 2012 have been affected in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 by a reduction as a percentage of revenue in subcontractor and other direct costs. As a result, reported organic growth for the third quarter was negative 1.7 percent. Organic growth for the first nine months of 2012 is a positive 1.9 percent.”

“We continued to achieve growth across all of our major markets in the third quarter. Energy, Environment, & Infrastructure increased 4.6 percent; Health, Social Programs, & Consumer/Financial increased 15.2 percent; and Public Safety & Defense increased 2.9 percent. In addition, business awards this quarter included a number of important strategic wins and a high percentage of new contracts versus re-competes with government and commercial clients,” Mr. Kesavan noted.
