Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Interim Results

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating and reportable segment. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2016.

Nature of Operations

The Company provides professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services, in the areas of energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, education and social programs; safety and security; and consumer and financial. The Company offers a full range of services to these clients throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative, from research and analysis and assessment and advice to design and implementation of programs and technology-based solutions, and the provision of engagement services and programs.

The Company’s major clients are United States (“U.S.”) federal government departments and agencies, most significantly the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), the Department of State (“DOS”), and the Department of Defense (“DoD”). The Company also serves U.S. state and local government departments and agencies; international governments; and commercial clients worldwide, such as airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, oil companies, banks and other financial services companies, transportation, travel and hospitality firms, non-profits/associations, law firms, manufacturing firms, retail chains, and distribution companies. The term “federal” or “federal government” refers to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refers to U.S. state and local government, unless otherwise indicated.

The Company, incorporated in Delaware, is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. It maintains offices throughout the world, including over 55 offices in the U.S. and more than 10 offices in key markets outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India and Canada.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2015 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, contract receivables, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates their fair values at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, due to their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying value of other long-term liabilities related to capital expenditure obligations approximates their fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 based on the current rates offered to the Company for similar instruments with comparable maturities. The Company believes the carrying value of its lines of credit payable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 approximate the estimated fair value for debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company elected to early-adopt ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740) on a retrospective basis. As required by ASU 2015-17, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current within the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17, the Company reclassified $8.0 million in current deferred tax liabilities to long-term liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016 the Company also adopted ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (Subtopic 350-40) and ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805) on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework and supersedes almost all existing revenue recognition guidance. Included in the new principles-based revenue recognition model are changes to the basis for deciding on the timing for revenue recognition. In addition, the standard expands and improves revenue disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, to amend ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update revises an entity’s accounting for operating leases and requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. This update also requires certain qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee. This update is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). ASU 2016-09 simplifies and improves the accounting and reporting for share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09.

Note 3. Contract Receivables

Contract receivables consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015
Billed	$	167,889		$	163,355
Unbilled		110,865			95,748
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(2,341	)		(2,138	)
Contract receivables, net	$	276,413		$	256,965

Contract receivables, net of the established allowance for doubtful accounts, are stated at amounts expected to be realized in future periods. Unbilled receivables result from revenue that has been earned in advance of billing. Unbilled receivables can be invoiced at contractually defined intervals or milestones, as well as upon completion of the contract or government audits. The Company anticipates that the majority of unbilled receivables will be substantially billed and collected within one year, and therefore, classifies them as current assets in accordance with industry practice.

The Company considers a number of factors in its estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts, including the customer’s financial condition, historical collection experience, and other factors that may bear on collectability of the receivables. The Company writes off contract receivables when such amounts are determined to be uncollectible. Losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Road Home Contract

Although no legal proceeding has been commenced, the Company has received correspondence from the Office of Community Development of the State of Louisiana, claiming that the Company is responsible for the overpayment of Road Home program grant funds to some grant applicants. The State has also indicated that, as it continues to review homeowner grant calculations, it expects to assert additional demands in the future, increasing the aggregate claim amount. The total claim received by the Company to date is approximately $180.2 million. The Company believes this claim has no merit, intends to vigorously defend its position, and has therefore not recorded a liability as of March 31, 2016.

Note 5. Long-Term Debt

The Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a syndication of 11 commercial banks on May 16, 2014, which was further modified on November 5, 2014 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on May 16, 2019. The Credit Facility allows for Company borrowings of up to $500.0 million without a borrowing base requirement, taking into account financial, performance-based limitations and provides for an “accordion,” which permits additional revolving credit commitments of up to $100.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval. The Credit Facility provides for stand-by letters of credit aggregating up to $30.0 million that reduce the funds available under the revolving line of credit when issued. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants, as defined in the Credit Facility, require, among other things, that the Company maintain, on a consolidated basis for each quarter, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Facility.

The Company has the ability to borrow funds under its Credit Facility at interest rates based on both LIBOR and prime rates, at its discretion, plus their applicable margins. Interest rates on debt outstanding ranged from 2.42% to 2.44% for the first three months of 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $337.9 million in long-term debt outstanding, $3.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, and unused borrowing capacity of $158.4 million under the Credit Facility (excluding the accordion). Taking into account the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity (excluding the accordion) was $108.7 million as of March 31, 2016.

Note 6. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The ICF International, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Omnibus Plan”) provides for the granting of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards to all officers, key employees, and non-employee directors of the Company. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 2.2 million shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan. Cash-settled RSUs (“CSRSUs”) have no impact on the shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan, and have no impact on the calculated shares used in earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $20.0 million as of March 31, 2016, related to unvested stock options and unsettled RSUs, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. The unrecognized compensation expense related to CSRSUs totaled approximately $17.7 million at March 31, 2016 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. Unrecognized compensation expense related to performance-based share awards (“PSAs”) of approximately $3.6 million as of March 31, 2016 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company granted approximately 0.2 million shares in the form of RSUs and approximately 0.2 million shares in the form of CSRSUs with a grant date fair value of $34.24. The Company granted approximately 0.1 million shares in the form of PSAs to its employees with a grant date fair value of $37.21. The awards granted are generally subject to service-based vesting conditions, with the PSAs also having performance-based vesting conditions. The performance conditions for the PSAs granted in 2016 have a performance period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 and the performance conditions are consistent with the PSAs granted in 2015. The Company’s performance-based share program is further described in Note K, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 37.6% and 40.0%, respectively.

The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax statutes and regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and require the application of significant judgment. The Company’s 2012 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for federal tax purposes, in addition to the Company’s 2009 amended tax return. Certain significant state and foreign tax jurisdictions also remain open under the statute of limitations and subject to examination for the tax years from 2011 to 2015.

The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2016 was $0.4 million. Included in the balance as of March 31, 2016 was $0.3 million of tax positions that, if recognized, would have a favorable impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax benefits may decrease by approximately $0.1 million.

The Company’s policy is not to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. The Company has made no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes or additional foreign taxes on future unremitted earnings of its controlled foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers these earnings to be permanently invested.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

EPS is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into stock. The difference between the basic and diluted weighted-average equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation is due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting and settlement of RSUs. PSAs are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. The Company’s PSAs outstanding at March 31, 2016 did not meet the related performance conditions and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Approximately 0.2 million weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS because they were anti-dilutive for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs for each period reported is summarized below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Net Income	$	9,687	$	7,900

Weighted-average number of basic shares outstanding during the period		18,994		19,450
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs		299		388
Weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period		19,293		19,838

Basic earnings per share	$	0.51	$	0.41
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.50	$	0.40

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully. The risk factors described in our filings with the SEC, as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

Our forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and the information available to our management at the time these disclosures were prepared. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.

The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company,” as used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, refer to ICF International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

We provide professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex natural resource, social, and public safety issues. Our services primarily address four key markets: energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, education and social programs; safety and security; and consumer and financial. We provide services across these four markets that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative, from research and analysis and assessment and advice to design and implementation of programs and technology-based solutions, and the provision of engagement services and programs.

We categorize our clients into two client classifications: government and commercial. Within the government classification, we present three client sub-classifications: federal government, state and local government, and international government. Our major clients are federal government departments and agencies. Our federal government clients have included every cabinet-level department, most significantly HHS, DOS, and DoD. We also serve a variety of commercial clients worldwide, including airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, oil companies, hospitals, health insurers, and other health-related companies, banks and other financial services companies, transportation, travel and hospitality firms, non-profits/associations, law firms, manufacturing firms, retail chains, and distribution companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue generated by federal government clients and commercial clients was 49% and 34%, respectively. The remaining 17% of revenue was generated by state and local government clients, as well as international government clients.

We report operating results and financial data as a single segment based on the consolidated information used by our chief operating decision-maker in evaluating the financial performance of our business and allocating resources. Our single segment represents our core business – professional services for government and commercial clients. Although we describe our multiple service offerings to four markets to provide a better understanding of our business operations, we do not manage our business or allocate our resources based on those service offerings or markets.

Revenue increased to $283.6 million, representing an increase of 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding prior period. We experienced growth in federal and state and local revenue and, to a lesser extent, international government revenue, while commercial revenue declined. Operating income increased 10.9% to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding prior period and net income increased 22.6% to $9.7 million.

We believe that demand for our services will continue to grow as government, industry, and other stakeholders seek to address critical long-term societal and natural resource issues in our key markets due to heightened concerns about clean energy and energy efficiency; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; and ongoing homeland security threats. We also see significant opportunity to further leverage our digital and client engagement capabilities across our commercial and government client base. For fiscal year 2016, we anticipate net income will grow at a higher rate than revenue due to growth in higher-margin services work and reductions in expenses, including interest and amortization of intangibles.

Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements across the program life cycle in our four key markets, and to complete and successfully integrate additional strategic acquisitions. In our four markets, we will continue to focus on building scale in vertical and horizontal domain expertise; developing business with both our government and commercial clients; and replicating our business model in selective geographies. In doing so, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities that enhance our subject matter knowledge, broaden our service offerings, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.

Federal government revenue was 49% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016. While we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain near-term challenges facing all government service providers, including top-line legislative constraints on federal government discretionary spending that limit expenditure growth through 2021. Actions by Congress could result in a delay or reduction to our revenue, profit, and cash flow and could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations; however, we believe we are well positioned in markets that have been, and will continue to be, priorities to the federal government.

We believe that the combination of internally-generated funds, available bank borrowings, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund on-going operations, potential acquisitions, customary capital expenditures, and other current working capital requirements.

Our clients utilize our services because we offer a combination of deep subject-matter expertise, technical solutions, and institutional experience in our market areas. We believe that our domain expertise and the program knowledge developed from our research and analytic, and assessment and advisory engagements (which we refer to hereafter as “research and advisory services”) further position us to provide our full suite of services.

We have more than 5,000 employees around the globe, including many recognized as thought leaders in their respective fields. We serve clients globally from our headquarters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, our more than 55 regional offices throughout the U.S., and more than 10 offices outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India and Canada.

Three Months ended March 31, 2016, compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2015

The following table sets forth certain items from our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the period-over-period rate of change in each of them and expresses these items as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $283.6 million, compared to $273.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing an increase of $10.1 million or 3.7%. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the 8.2% increase in government revenue driven by revenue growth from federal and state and local government clients in our health, education and social programs and energy, environment and infrastructure markets, which was partly due to higher revenue from energy and digital interactive commercial-rate work performed for state and local government clients. The increase in government revenue was partially offset by a 3.9% decrease in commercial revenue primarily due to the anticipated reduction in certain energy and infrastructure contracts and foreign currency impacts.

Direct Costs. Direct costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $177.2 million compared to $164.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $12.6 million or 7.7%. The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to an increase in expenses for other direct costs related to subcontracted labor, as well as higher staff utilization during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Direct costs as a percent of revenue increased to 62.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 60.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of the increase in other direct costs.

Indirect and selling expenses. Indirect and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $81.6 million compared to $84.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $3.3 million or 3.9%. The decrease in indirect and selling expenses is largely due to lower costs related to travel and professional services and other non-labor costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Indirect and selling expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 31.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million or 4.4%.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $3.1 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $1.2 million decrease was mainly due to reduced amortization of intangible assets that were fully amortized.

Operating Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, operating income was $17.7 million compared to $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $1.7 million or 10.9%. Operating income as a percent of revenue increased to 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, largely due to lower indirect and selling expenses and the decrease in amortization of intangibles assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, interest expense was $2.5 million, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $0.1 million or 4.6%.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, was 37.6% and 40.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate, including state and foreign taxes net of federal benefit, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was lower than the statutory tax rate for the quarter primarily due to a favorable true-up for our deferred state tax provision, partially offset by permanent differences related to compensation costs and other expenses not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table shows our revenue from each of our four key markets as a percentage of total revenue for the periods indicated. For each client, we have attributed all revenue from that client to the market we consider to be the client’s primary market, even if a portion of that revenue relates to a different market. Certain immaterial revenue amounts in the prior year have been reclassified due to minor adjustments.

The fluctuation in the percentages of revenue by market for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to revenue growth from federal and state and local government clients in our health, education and social programs and energy, environment and infrastructure markets, which was partly due to higher revenue from energy and digital interactive commercial-rate work performed for state and local government clients.

The following table shows our revenue by type of client as a percentage of total revenue for the periods indicated.

The fluctuation in the percentages of revenue by client type for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to revenue growth from federal and state and local government clients in our health, education and social programs and energy, environment and infrastructure markets, which was partly due to higher revenue from energy and digital interactive commercial-rate work performed for state and local government clients. In addition, revenue to commercial clients decreased, primarily as a result of the anticipated reduction in certain energy and infrastructure contracts and foreign currency impacts.

Our contracts with clients include time-and-materials contracts, fixed-price contracts, and cost-based contracts (including cost-based fixed fee, cost-based award fee, and cost-based incentive fee, as well as grants and cooperative agreements). Our contract mix varies from year to year and quarter to quarter due to numerous factors, including our business strategies and the procurement activities of our clients. Unless the context requires otherwise, we use the term “contracts” to refer to contracts and any task orders or delivery orders issued under a contract.

The following table shows the approximate percentage of our revenue from each of these types of contracts for the periods indicated.

Time-and-materials contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor at fixed hourly rates and generally reimbursed separately for allowable materials, other direct costs, and out-of-pocket expenses. Our actual labor costs may vary from the expected costs that formed the basis for our negotiated hourly rates if we utilize different employees than anticipated, need to hire additional employees at higher wages, increase the compensation paid to existing employees, or are able to hire employees at lower-than-expected rates. Our non-labor costs, such as fringe benefits, overhead, and general and administrative costs, also may be higher or lower than we anticipated. To the extent that our actual labor and non-labor costs under a time-and-materials contract vary significantly from our expected costs or the negotiated hourly rates, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or, perhaps, incur a loss.

Fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a pre-determined price. Compared to time-and-materials and cost-based contracts, fixed-price contracts involve greater financial risk because we bear the full impact of labor and non-labor costs that exceed our estimates, in terms of costs per hour, number of hours, and all other costs of performance in return for the full benefit of any cost savings. We therefore may generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or, perhaps, incur a loss.

Cost-based contracts. Under cost-based contracts (which include cost-based fixed fee, cost-based award fee, and cost-based incentive fee contracts, as well as grants and cooperative agreements), we are paid based on the allowable costs we incur, and usually receive a fee. All of our cost-based contracts reimburse us for our direct labor and fringe-benefit costs that are allowable under the contract; however, certain contracts limit the amount of overhead and general and administrative costs we can recover, which may be less than our actual overhead and general and administrative costs. In addition, our fees are constrained by fee ceilings and, in certain cases, such as with grants and cooperative agreements, we may receive no fee. Because of these limitations, our cost-based contracts, on average, are our least profitable type of contract, and we may generate less than the expected profit, or perhaps, incur a loss. Cost-based fixed-fee contracts specify the fee to be paid. Cost-based incentive-fee and cost-based award-fee contracts provide for increases or decreases in the contract fee, within specified limits, based upon actual results as compared to contractual targets for factors such as cost, quality, schedule, and performance.

We define total backlog as the future revenue we expect to receive from our contracts and other engagements. We generally include in our total backlog the estimated revenue represented by contract options that have been priced, but not exercised. We do not include any estimate of revenue relating to potential future delivery orders that might be awarded under our General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contracts, other Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, Master Service Agreements (“MSAs”), or other contract vehicles that are also held by a large number of firms and under which potential future delivery orders or task orders might be issued by any of a large number of different agencies, and are likely to be subject to a competitive bidding process. We do, however, include potential future work expected to be awarded under IDIQ contracts that are available to be utilized by a limited number of potential clients and are held either by us alone or by a limited number of firms.

We include expected revenue in funded backlog when we have been authorized by the client to proceed under a contract up to the dollar amount specified by our client, and this amount will be owed to us under the contract after we provide the services pursuant to the authorization. If we do not provide services authorized by a client prior to the expiration of the authorization, we remove amounts corresponding to the expired authorization from funded backlog. We do include expected revenue under an engagement in funded backlog when we do not have a signed contract, but only in situations when we have received client authorization to begin or continue working and we expect to sign a contract for the engagement. In this case, the amount of funded backlog is limited to the amount authorized. Our funded backlog does not represent the full revenue potential of our contracts because many government clients, and sometimes other clients, authorize work under a particular contract on a yearly or more frequent basis, even though the contract may extend over several years. Most of the services we provide to commercial clients are provided under contracts or task orders under MSAs with relatively short durations. As a consequence, our backlog attributable to these clients is typically reflected in funded backlog and not in unfunded backlog.

We define unfunded backlog as the difference between total backlog and funded backlog. Our estimate of unfunded backlog for a particular contract is based, to a large extent, on the amount of revenue we have recently recognized on that contract, our experience in utilizing contract capacity on similar types of contracts, and our professional judgment. Accordingly, our estimate of total backlog for a contract included in unfunded backlog is sometimes lower than the revenue that would result from our client utilizing all remaining contract capacity.

Although we expect our total backlog to result in revenue, the timing of revenue associated with both funded and unfunded backlog will vary based on a number of factors, and we may not recognize revenue associated with a particular component of backlog when anticipated, or at all. Our government clients generally have the right to cancel any contract, or ongoing or planned work under any contract, at any time. In addition, there can be no assurance that revenue from funded or unfunded backlog will have similar profitability to previous work or will be profitable at all. Generally speaking, we believe the risk that a particular component of backlog will not result in future revenue is higher for unfunded backlog than for funded backlog.

Our funded and estimates of unfunded and total backlog at the dates indicated were as follows:

Service revenue represents revenue less subcontractor and other direct costs such as third-party materials and travel expenses. Service revenue is a measure that we use to evaluate our margins for services performed and, therefore, we believe it is useful to investors. We generally expect the ratio of direct costs as a percentage of revenue to increase when our own labor decreases relative to subcontractor labor or outside consultants.

EBITDA, earnings before interest and other income and/or expense, tax, and depreciation and amortization, is a measure we use to evaluate performance. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We evaluate these adjustments on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including its size and nature and whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We believe that the adjustments applied in calculating adjusted EBITDA are reasonable and appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures, and debt service. Our Credit Facility includes covenants based on EBITDA, subject to certain adjustments.

Adjusted EPS represents diluted EPS excluding the impact of certain items such as special charges and acquisition-related expenses that we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations and are excluded from adjusted EBITDA as described further above. Non-GAAP EPS represents adjusted EPS further adjusted to eliminate the impact of amortization of intangible assets related to our acquisitions. Adjusted EPS and non-GAAP EPS are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to basic or diluted EPS. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of adjusted EPS and non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe that the supplemental adjustments applied in calculating adjusted EPS and non-GAAP EPS are reasonable and appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. Short-term liquidity requirements are created by our use of funds for working capital, capital expenditures, and the need to provide any debt service. We expect to meet these requirements through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility. We entered into our Credit Facility with a syndication of 11 commercial banks on May 16, 2014, which was further modified on November 5, 2014. The Credit Facility matures on May 16, 2019. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $500.0 million without a borrowing base requirement, taking into account financial, performance-based limitations and provides for an “accordion,” which permits additional revolving credit commitments of up to $100.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval. The Credit Facility provides for stand-by letters of credit aggregating up to $30.0 million that reduce the funds available under the revolving line of credit when issued. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and requires that we remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants, as defined in the Credit Facility, require, among other things, that we maintain, on a consolidated basis for each quarter, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with our covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $337.9 million borrowed under our revolving line of credit and outstanding letters of credit of $3.7 million, resulting in unused borrowing capacity of $158.4 million on our Credit Facility (excluding the accordion), which is available for our working capital needs and for other purposes. Taking into account certain financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity (excluding the accordion) was $108.7 million as of March 31, 2016.

We have the ability to borrow funds under our Credit Facility at interest rates based on both LIBOR and prime rates, at our discretion, plus their applicable margins. Interest rates on debt outstanding ranged from 2.42% to 2.44% for the first three months of 2016.

We anticipate that our long-term liquidity requirements, including any future acquisitions, will be funded through a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility, additional secured or unsecured debt, or the issuance of common or preferred stock, each of which may be initially funded through borrowings under the Credit Facility. We believe that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund on-going operations, customary capital expenditures, and other current working capital requirements. We are continuously analyzing our capital structure to ensure we have sufficient capital to fund future strategic acquisitions and internal growth. We monitor the state of the financial markets on a regular basis to assess the availability and cost of additional capital resources both from debt and equity sources. We believe that we will be able to access these markets at commercially reasonable terms and conditions if we need additional borrowings or capital.

Financial Condition. There were several changes in our balance sheet during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $9.4 million on March 31, 2016, from $7.7 million on December 31, 2015 and long-term debt increased to $337.9 million on March 31, 2016, from $311.5 million on December 31, 2015 primarily to fund operations resulting from the increase in accounts receivable and reduction in accounts payable. Contract receivables, net, increased $19.4 million compared to December 31, 2015, while days-sales-outstanding increased from 73 days on December 31, 2015 to 78 days on March 31, 2016, primarily due to temporary timing differences in client billings. Accounts payable decreased $14.1 million, and days-payables-outstanding decreased from 53 days on December 31, 2015 to 47 days as of March 31, 2016.

We have explored various options for mitigating the risk associated with potential fluctuations in the foreign currencies in which we conduct transactions. We currently have forward contract agreements (“hedges”) in an amount proportionate to work anticipated to be performed under certain contracts in Europe. We recognize changes in the fair value of the hedges in our results of operations. We may increase the number, size and scope of our hedges as we analyze options for mitigating our foreign exchange risk. The current impact of the hedges to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

Share Repurchase Program. In the third quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan, effective November 5, 2015, and expiring on November 4, 2017 that authorizes share repurchases in the aggregate up to $75.0 million, not to exceed the amount allowed under our Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility further limits our share repurchases to $75.0 million during the duration of the Credit Facility, net of new issuances as defined in the Credit Facility. Purchases under this program may be made from time to time at prevailing market prices in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The purchases will be funded from existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and the repurchased shares will be held in treasury and used for general corporate purposes. The timing and extent to which we repurchase our shares will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations, as may be considered in our sole discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 128,780 shares under this program at an average price of $33.29 per share. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $39.7 million remained available for share repurchases.

Cash Flow. We consider cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:

Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments. We bill most of our clients monthly after services are rendered. Operating activities used $13.6 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cash flows used in operating activities for the first three months of 2016 were negatively impacted primarily by net contract receivables due to temporary timing differences in client billings, accounts payable, and prepaid expenses and other assets, and were positively impacted primarily by accrued salaries and benefits and the income tax payable. Cash flows used in operating activities for the first three months of 2015 were negatively impacted primarily by net contract receivables due to temporary timing differences in client billings, accrued salaries and benefits, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, and were positively impacted by deferred revenue and the net income tax receivable.

Investing activities used cash of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2016 was for capital expenditures. The cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2015 was primarily for capital expenditures and our acquisition of OCO Holdings, Inc. and its various subsidiaries, including Olson + Co., Inc.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flow provided by financing activities of $18.9 million was largely attributable to $26.4 million in net advances on our Credit Facility, primarily as a result of working capital needs, partly offset by cash used for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program of $4.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash flow provided by financing activities of $24.3 million was largely attributable to $27.2 million in net advances on our Credit Facility, primarily as a result of working capital needs.

We use off-balance sheet arrangements to finance the lease of facilities. We have financed the use of all of our office and storage facilities through operating leases. Operating leases are also used from time to time to finance the use of computers, servers, copiers, telephone systems, and to a lesser extent, other fixed assets, such as furnishings, and we also obtain operating leases in connection with business acquisitions. We generally assume the lease rights and obligations of businesses acquired in business combinations and continue financing facilities and equipment under operating leases until the end of the lease term following the acquisition date.

The Credit Facility provides for stand-by letters of credit aggregating up to $30.0 million that reduce the funds available under the revolving line of credit when issued. As of March 31, 2016, we had 12 outstanding letters of credit with a total value of $3.7 million, primarily related to deposits to support our facility leases.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2016 that require us to make future cash payments. For contractual obligations, we include payments that we have an unconditional obligation to make.

(1) Represents the obligation for principal and variable interest payments related to our Credit Facility assuming the principal amount outstanding and interest rates at March 31, 2016 remain fixed through maturity. These assumptions are subject to change in future periods.

There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2016.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. As of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, to our knowledge, in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

We are involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause us to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Investing in our common stock involves risk. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may affect us and prevent us from achieving our goals. There have been no material changes in those risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2016.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we encounter. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Issuances of Common Stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, a total of 5,000 shares of unregistered common stock, valued at an aggregate of $171,803 were issued to seven directors of the Company for director-related compensation on January 4, 2016 and March 31, 2016. The issuance of these shares is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Purchase of Equity. The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
