NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of ICF International, Inc. (“ICFI”) and its wholly-owned 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”). 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.
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. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis including those that relate to revenue recognition (including estimates of variable considerations and remaining costs to complete fixed-price contracts), expected credit losses, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets including those acquired from business combinations, and reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.
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 annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with 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 the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data as a single operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three-month and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
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 annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, 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.
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective, retrospective, or modified basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06.

The Company sells certain billed accounts receivable in accordance with its Amended Master Receivables Purchase Agreement with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) that are accounted for as sales under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”).

NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT
On April 10, 2026, the Company completed the refinancing of its previous credit agreement, dated May 6, 2022 (the “Previous Credit Agreement”) by entering into a new Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” or the “Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent, BOFA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the joint lead arrangers, certain other financial institutions as lenders, and certain guarantors party thereto (“Loan Syndicate”).
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement: (a) maintains a $600 million revolving credit facility (together and inclusive of a $75 million swing line sublimit and $100 million sublimit for letters of credit); (b) increases the existing term loan facility from $300 million to $450 million; (c) maintains a delayed draw term loan facility of $400 million; (d) increases the existing incremental credit facility from an aggregate principal amount of not more than $300 million, to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $300 million and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, plus the amounts of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans; (e) allows the Company the option to borrow at interest rates based on a base rate or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a contractually defined margin based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio; (f) amends the definition of “Consolidated Indebtedness” to net Unrestricted Cash and replaces the existing maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant with a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, which is maintained at a maximum of 4.50 to 1.00 (with temporary increases to 5.00 to 1.00 for the three fiscal quarters following a “Material Permitted Acquisition”); (g) extends the maturity date until April 10, 2031; and (h) modifies certain definitions and covenants. The Loan Syndicate of the amended Credit Facility includes a combination of continuing and new financial institutions. The borrowing and repayments against the amended Credit Facility are presented in the statement of cash flows on a constructive basis, as if each borrowing in the previous syndicate was extinguished, and each financial institution in the Loan Syndicate is providing new borrowings.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, long-term debt consisted of:

The Company utilizes floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of debt facilities. Inclusive of the impact of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (see “Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), the average interest rate for long-term debt was 5.0% and 5.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 5.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $585.9 million under the $600 million revolving line of credit (inclusive of outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.6 million) and $400.0 million of the unused delayed draw term loan facility. Taking into account the financial and performance-based limitations, the available borrowing capacity was $619.0 million at September 30, 2026.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables on contracts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed. Contract liabilities result from advance payments received on a contract or from billings in excess of revenue recognized.
The following table summarizes the contract assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The increase in net contract assets (liabilities) is primarily due to the timing difference between the performance of services and billings to customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $27.9 million and $19.4 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Changes in Estimates on Contracts
The Company recognized net income of $4.3 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $8.6 million and $11.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a result of net changes in estimates related to fixed-price contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. The impact of the changes on the Company’s diluted earnings per share was $0.24 and $0.05 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $0.47 and $0.63 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Revenue Adjustments from Previously Satisfied Performance Obligations
The Company recognized $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of revenue from previously satisfied performance obligations during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $12.9 million and $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The adjustments were primarily due to changes in transaction price from contract modifications and final award performance determinations.
Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
In computing unfulfilled performance obligations (“UPO”), the Company excludes contracts with a stated term of one year or less (practical expedient), and contracts with the U.S. federal government. As of September 30, 2026, the UPO was $0.2 billion, of which 51% is expected to be recognized as revenue by December 31, 2026, 70% by December 31, 2027, 89% by December 31, 2028, and the remainder by December 31, 2029.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
At September 30, 2026, the Company had floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) for an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, of which $50.0 million will mature on February 28, 2030, $25.0 million will mature on June 26, 2030, and $100.0 million will mature on July 31, 2030. The Company has designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. See “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” for details on the impact of the Swaps on the Company’s interest rates, and “Note 12 – Fair Value” for the fair value of these Swaps.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate (the “ETR”) was 15.0% and 22.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 18.8% and 18.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were lower than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to research tax credits and state tax planning strategies implemented that were, in part, offset by additional tax provisions attributable to equity-based compensation and valuation allowance on excess foreign tax credits. The ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were lower than the combined statutory tax rate primarily due to research tax credits offset, in part, by valuation allowances on equity-based compensation assets and excess foreign tax credits.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees
The Company had open standby letters of credit totaling $1.6 million at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Open standby letters of credit reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Previous Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $3.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of bank guarantees for a facility lease and contract performance obligations.
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 its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company provides a broad array of professional services to its clients across several markets, primarily within the U.S. The Company operates as a single reportable and operating segment because the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), which is the Chief Executive Officer, manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. Although the Company disaggregates its revenue by client market and client type, it does not manage its business or allocate resources based on client market or type.
The CODM assesses performance of the segment based on consolidated net income that is reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The CODM uses consolidated net income to evaluate the Company’s performance against budgets and decide whether to use the profits to invest in the business, paydown debt, repurchase stock, pay dividends, or fund acquisitions. Asset information provided to the CODM is not used for the purpose of making decisions and assessing performance of the Company.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
We provide professional services and technology-based solutions, including management, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex business, natural resource, social, technological, and public safety issues. Our clients include U.S. federal, state, local and international governments or their agencies, as well as commercial entities. Our services primarily support clients that operate in these key markets:
We provide services to our diverse client base that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative. Our primary services include:
We believe that, in the long-term, 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 due to heightened concerns about the environment and use of clean energy and energy efficiency, particularly as a result of increasing energy demand from data centers, cryptocurrency operations, and electrification of buildings and vehicles; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; the means by which healthcare can be delivered effectively on a cross-jurisdiction basis; natural disaster relief and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats. In the wake of the major hurricanes that devastated communities in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and the impact of wildfires in Hawaii, Oregon, and southern California, the affected areas remain in various stages of recovery efforts. We believe our prior and current experience with disaster relief and rebuild efforts, including after hurricanes (Katrina, Rita, Helene, and Milton) and Superstorm Sandy, and the wildfires in Oregon, put us in a favorable position to continue to provide recovery and housing assistance, and environmental and infrastructure solutions, including disaster mitigation, on behalf of federal departments and agencies, state, territorial, and local jurisdictions, and regional agencies.
As the federal government continues to sharpen its focus on efficiency, transparency, consolidation, and accountability, we see growth opportunities for our fit-for-purpose technology solutions. Our offerings are innovative, agile, scalable, and aligned with commercial best practices, delivering clear and measurable outcomes. By combining deep institutional knowledge of our clients’ markets and data with our proven expertise in artificial intelligence, open source, cloud-native, and commercially available off the shelf low-code and no-code platforms, we are able to deliver highly functional, cost-effective solutions that meet the evolving demands of our customers while driving greater value and impact for taxpayers.
Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements that span the entire program life cycle, and to complete and successfully integrate additional strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on building scale in our vertical and horizontal domain expertise, developing business with our existing clients as well as new customers, 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, gain access to or expand customer relationships, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.
Although we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain business challenges facing all government service providers. The very nature of opportunities arising out of disaster recovery means they can involve unusual challenges. Factors such as the overall stress on communities and people affected by disaster recovery situations, political complexities, challenges among involved government agencies, and a higher-than-normal risk of audits and investigations may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow; however, we believe we are well positioned to provide a broad range of services in support of initiatives that will continue to be priorities to the federal government, as well as to state and local and international governments and commercial clients.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $470.5 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 1.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $1.3 million, or 1.2%, compared to 2025 and totaled $111.2 million and $112.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
Direct Costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, direct costs totaled $291.3 million compared to $290.5 million for the same period in 2025. As a percentage of direct costs, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 61.8% and 61.3%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 38.2% and 38.7%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 38.3% and 38.2%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 23.6% and 24.2%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Indirect and selling expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, indirect and selling expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 2.8%, compared to the prior year as a result of increases of $1.0 million and $2.3 million in indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs and general and administrative costs, respectively. The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily from higher software and travel expenses. As a percentage of total indirect and selling expenses, indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs were 72.0% and 73.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and general and administrative costs as a percentage of indirect and selling expenses were 28.0% and 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $5.7 million compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change was due to incremental amortization associated with software placed in service during 2026.
The decrease in amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations was primarily due to certain intangible assets previously acquired becoming fully amortized.
Interest, net. The decrease of $1.5 million in interest, net, was primarily due to lower average debt balance of $418.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $508.4 million for the same period in 2025. Interest from debt facilities was $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of debt facilities resulted in an increase of interest by less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to a reduction of $0.2 million for the same period in 2025. The average interest rate for our debt facilities was 4.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 5.7% for the same period in 2025. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest rate was 5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 5.5% for the same period in 2025.
Other income. The change in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily due to lower foreign currency gains in 2026 of $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million in 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was 15.0% and 22.7%, respectively. The difference was primarily due to implementation of state tax planning strategies and changes to valuation allowances on research and development tax credit.

Revenue. The decrease in revenue of $46.7 million was driven by a reduction of $82.9 million from our U.S. federal government clients, primarily as a result of terminated contracts in the first six months of 2025 due to the Administration’s changing priorities and the actions recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency as well as the disruption of the typical U.S. federal government procurement cycle. This decline was offset by increases of $18.5 million, $13.5 million, and $4.2 million from our international government, commercial, and U.S. state and local government clients, respectively. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $0.2 million, or 0.1%, and totaled $335.3 million and $335.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
22
Direct Costs. The decrease of $31.7 million in direct costs was primarily a result of terminated U.S. federal government contracts during the first six months of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 61.0% and 62.4%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 39.0% and 37.6%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 37.9% and 38.9%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 24.3% and 23.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 62.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 62.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Indirect and selling expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our indirect and selling expenses decreased by $9.4 million, or 2.5%, compared to the prior year, as a result of decreases of $8.6 million and $0.8 million in indirect labor and related fringe benefit costs and general and administrative costs, respectively. The decreases were primarily from our efforts to align indirect and selling expenses to support our ongoing operations. As a percentage of revenue, indirect and selling expenses were 26.6% and 26.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $17.1 million compared to $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to incremental amortization associated with software placed in service during 2026.
Interest, net. The decrease of $3.8 million in interest, net, was primarily due to lower average debt balance of $443.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $521.6 million for the same period in 2025. Interest from debt facilities was $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of debt facilities resulted in an increase of interest by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to a reduction of $1.1 million for the same period in 2025. The average interest rate for our debt facilities was 5.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 5.7% for the same period in 2025. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest rate was 5.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 5.4% for the same period in 2025.
Other expense. The change in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily due to lower foreign currency expense in 2026 partially offset by higher losses from disposal of assets in 2026 compared to 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was 18.8% and 18.1%, respectively. The 2026 rate was comparable to 2025 as a result of certain state tax planning implemented during the year and changes to valuation allowances on research and development tax credit.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The following tables provide reconciliations of financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“non-GAAP”) to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to investors and may be useful in evaluating our financial information and assessing ongoing trends to better understand our operations, they should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may define similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, thus limiting their use for comparability.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a measure we use to evaluate operating performance. 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 (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We evaluate these adjustments on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including their size and nature, as well as whether we expect them to recur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow as these measures do not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures, and debt service.

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“Non-GAAP Diluted EPS”) represents diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share (“U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS”) excluding the impact of the specific items noted above, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the related income tax effects. While these adjustments may be recurring and not infrequent or unusual, we do not consider these adjustments to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We believe that the supplemental adjustments provide additional useful information to investors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations. Contractual obligations requiring material cash outflows primarily consist of payments related to operating and finance leases for facilities and equipment, as well as scheduled principal and interest payments under our Credit Facility. See “Note 4 – Leases” and “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt,” respectively, in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for additional details.
Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. In addition to cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations, our primary source of liquidity is the Credit Facility with a syndicate of commercial banks, as described in “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report. The Credit Facility requires that we remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants (as defined by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, see “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for additional details). As of September 30, 2026, we remained in compliance with these covenants, and we had $585.9 million of unused borrowing capacity under the $600.0 million revolving line of credit (inclusive of outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.6 million) and $400.0 million of unused delayed draw term loan facilities under the Credit Facility available to fund our ongoing operations, future acquisitions, dividend payments, and share repurchase program. Taking into account the financial and performance-based limitations, the available borrowing capacity was $619.0 million at September 30, 2026.
We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for a total notional value of $175.0 million to hedge a portion of our floating-rate debt under the Credit Facility. The interest rate swaps will expire in 2030, but we may consider entering into additional swap agreements prior to the expiration of these existing hedges. As of September 30, 2026, the percentage of our fixed-rate debt to total debt from the Credit Facility was 47%.
We provide support services to the U.S. federal government and any prolonged federal government shutdown may affect our abilities to generate cash from that business to certain degrees. There are other conditions, such as the ongoing wars in Ukraine, instabilities in the Middle East, and volatility in global trade (including the imposition of tariffs), that create uncertainty in the global economy, which in turn may impact, among other things, our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and our ability to successfully execute and fund key initiatives. However, our current belief is that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowing capacity, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund ongoing operations, customary capital expenditures, quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases, and organic growth. Additionally, we continuously analyze our capital structure to ensure we have capital to fund future strategic acquisitions.
We continuously monitor the state of the financial markets to assess the availability of borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and the cost of additional capital from both debt and equity markets. At present, we believe we will be able to continue to access these markets on commercially reasonable terms and conditions if we need additional capital in the near term.
Dividends. We have historically paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders of record at $0.14 per share. Total dividend payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $7.6 million.

Cash Flow. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:
Net cash provided by our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $65.5 million compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to lower taxes and interest payments and timing of cash advances related to certain energy incentive programs.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was comparable to the same period in 2025.
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was higher than the same period in 2025 by $56.1 million primarily due to net repayment of debt and payment of costs related to the refinancing of our Credit Facility, partially offset by reduced cash used for share repurchases.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
