NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of ICF International, Inc. (“ICFI”) and its principal subsidiary, ICF Consulting Group, Inc. (“Consulting,” and together with ICFI, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Consulting is a wholly owned subsidiary of ICFI. ICFI is a holding company with no operations or assets other than its investment in the common stock of Consulting. All other subsidiaries of the Company are wholly owned by Consulting. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The terms “federal” or “federal government” refer to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refer to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated.
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 disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Key estimates include estimates related to variable consideration on contracts with customers, costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, collectability of receivables, valuation and useful lives of acquired tangible and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and contingencies. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.
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 in one operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three-month and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 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, 2023 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to update reportable segment disclosure requirements for public entities under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). ASU 2023-07 enhances the current segment reporting disclosures of Topic 280 by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), the amount and description of other segment items, and interim disclosures of each reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. ASU 2023-07 also requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all of the disclosures required in Topic 280, as amended. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and interim periods within the 2025 fiscal year on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax rates and amounts paid by entities. ASU 2023-09 specifically requires all entities to disclose, on an annual basis, disaggregated domestic and foreign pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations and the disaggregated income tax expense or benefit by federal, state, and foreign components, and a tabular rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, of eight specific categories as well as any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of a threshold computed by multiplying pretax income or loss from continuing operations by the applicable federal rate. Additionally, the amendments also require disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions as well as any individual jurisdictions over 5% of the total income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented to the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

(5,435
The Company sells certain billed contract receivables in accordance with its Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “MRPA”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”). The contract receivables that are sold without recourse and where the Company does not retain any ongoing financial interest in the transferred receivables, other than providing servicing activities, are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Consequently, these contract receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at the date of the sale, and the cash received from MUFG is presented as part of cash flows from operating activities.
The following is a reconciliation of billed contract receivables sold to MUFG that were eligible and accounted for as sales under ASC 860, including billed contract receivables sold to MUFC and collected from customers on behalf of MUFG during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the balance of billed contract receivables not yet collected from the customers as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

The Company services the receivables sold by collecting cash and remitting it to MUFG. The related servicing fee received from MUFG was immaterial.
The aggregate impact of the sale of billed contract receivables on the Company’s operating cash flows was $23.0 million and $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company also sold certain billed contract receivables to MUFG that did not qualify as sales under ASC 860. Consequently, the cash received from and remitted back to MUFG is presented as cash from financing activities within “Proceeds from other short-term borrowings” and “Repayments of other short-term borrowings” on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amounts due to MUFG for cash collected and not yet remitted for billed contract receivables sold that did not qualify as sales under ASC 860 totaled $1.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively. These amounts are included as part of “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 6.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
(20,102
(21,997
Net contract assets (liabilities)
202,665
179,835
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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $15.2 million and $16.2 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
The Company had $1.4 billion in unfulfilled performance obligations (“UPO”) as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to recognize the remaining UPO as revenue of approximately 25% by December 31, 2024, 58% by December 31, 2025, and the remainder thereafter.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
At June 30, 2024, the Company had floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $275.0 million, of which $100.0 million will mature on February 28, 2025, $75.0 million will mature on February 28, 2028, and $100.0 million will mature on June 27, 2028. The Company has designated the swap agreements as cash flow hedges. See “Note 5 – Debt” for details on the impact of the swap agreements on the Company’s interest rates. See “Note 12 – Fair Value” for the fair value of these swaps.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
A reconciliation of the Company’s statutory rate to the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

The uncertain tax position and tax credits recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are both primarily related to the Research & Experimentation (“R&E”) credits.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was higher for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily due to restructuring of the ownership of the Company’s Canadian entities for tax purposes during the second quarter of 2023 which reduced the Company’s 2023 effective tax rate.

The unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2024 was $38.5 million, which is expected to vest over the next 1.7 years.
NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS (“U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS”) considers the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s common stock options, RSUs, and performance share awards (“PSAs”) were exercised or converted into the Company’s common stock. 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.
As of June 30, 2024, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 met the related performance conditions for the initial performance period and were included in the calculation of U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS. However, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 have not yet completed their initial two-year performance period and therefore were excluded from the calculation of U.S. GAAP Diluted EPS.
EPS, including the dilutive effect of stock awards for each period reported is summarized below:

A total of 82,169 and 46,534 shares of restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 because they were anti-dilutive. There were no shares excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 31 shares excluded for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Letters of Credit
The Company had open standby letters of credit totaling $1.8 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Open standby letters of credit reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.
Guarantees
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of bank guarantees for facility leases 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.

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 services primarily support clients that operate in three 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 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 to our broad array of clients. Although we describe our multiple service offerings to clients that operate in three markets to provide a better understanding of the scope and scale of our business, we do not manage our business or allocate our resources based on those service offerings or client markets. Rather, on a project-by-project basis, we assemble the best team from throughout the enterprise to deliver highly customized solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of each client.
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; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; the means by which public health can be improved effectively on a cross-jurisdiction basis; natural disaster recovery and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats.
We also see significant opportunity to further leverage our digital and client engagement capabilities across our client base. 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, 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. Administrative and legislative actions by the federal government to address changing priorities or in response to the budget deficit and/or debt ceiling could have a negative impact on our business, which may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow. Similarly, 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 and 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. The increase in revenue was driven by $5.2 million, $3.8 million, $2.5 million, and $0.4 million from our commercial, U.S. state and local government, international government, and U.S. federal government clients, respectively. Our revenue from client markets was impacted in varying amounts by our exit from the commercial marketing and events businesses during 2023. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $4.9 million, or 3.5%, from the second quarter of 2023 and totaled $132.8 million and $137.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
Direct Costs. The increase of $3.9 million in direct costs was driven by an increase in direct labor and related fringe benefit costs which reflected the growth in the business, offset by a decrease in subcontractor and other direct costs primarily as a result of our exit from the commercial marketing and events business during 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 59.7% and 57.7%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of direct costs were 40.3% and 42.3%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 38.4% and 37.5%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 25.9% and 27.5%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 64.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 65.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Indirect and selling expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our indirect and selling expenses increased slightly by $0.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to the prior year. As a result, our indirect and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 25.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to fewer capital assets as a result of the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business in the third quarter of 2023.
Amortization of intangible assets. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was primarily due to the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business in the third quarter of 2023 that resulted in fewer intangible assets in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023.
Interest, net. The decrease of $2.4 million in interest, net, was primarily from a decrease of our average debt balance to $493.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $668.8 million for the same period in 2023, as well as an increase in utilization of our Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “MRPA”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”). Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of our debt reduced our interest expense by $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2023. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.7 million compared to $9.4 million for 2023 and our interest rate inclusive of the swap agreements was 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 5.5% for 2023.
Other income (expense). The change in other income (expense) was primarily due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 26.3% and 4.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the impact of tax planning strategy regarding the ownership structure of our Canadian subsidiaries implemented during the second quarter of 2023.

Revenue. The increase in revenue was driven by $7.1 million, $6.9 million, $5.5 million, and $3.6 million from international government, U.S. federal government, U.S. state and local government, and commercial clients, respectively. Our revenue from client markets was impacted in varying amounts by our exit from the commercial marketing and events businesses during 2023. The following were changes in revenue from our various client markets:
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes subcontractor and other direct costs, which decreased $16.3 million, or 6.1%, and totaled $253.3 million and $269.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the margin on such costs.
Direct Costs. The increase in direct costs was driven by an increase in direct labor and related fringe benefit costs which reflected the growth in the business, and offset by a decrease in subcontractor and other direct costs, primarily as a result of our exit from the commercial marketing and events business during 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs as a percentage of direct costs were 60.4% and 57.7%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs as a percentage of total direct costs were 39.6% and 42.3%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct labor and related fringe benefit costs were 38.4% and 37.5%, respectively, and subcontractor and other direct costs were 25.2% and 27.4% respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 63.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 64.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Indirect and selling expenses. The increase in indirect and selling expenses of $5.9 million, or 2.4%, was primarily due to higher compensation costs offset by lower general and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. However, indirect and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue were consistent at 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 25.4% for 2023.
Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in our depreciation and amortization was primarily due to fewer capital assets as a result of the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business in the third quarter of 2023.
Amortization of intangible assets. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was primarily due to fewer intangible assets as a result of the divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business in the third quarter of 2023.
Interest, net. The decrease in interest, net, was primarily from a decrease of our average debt balance to $501.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $651.6 million for the same period in 2023, as well as an increase in the utilization of the MRPA. Use of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable interest portion of our debt reduced our interest expense by $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2023. Inclusive of the impact of the swap agreements, our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $13.9 million compared to $18.1 million for 2023 and our interest rate inclusive of the swap agreements was 5.5% for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Other income (expense). The change in other income (expense) included a gain of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that was recognized after the release of an escrow originating from the 2023 divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business, and to a lesser degree the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 23.4% and 14.0%, respectively. The change was primarily due to the impact of a tax planning strategy regarding the ownership structure of our Canadian subsidiaries implemented during 2023.
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. to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures (“non-GAAP”). 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 certain items noted above, amortization of 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
Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. In addition to cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations, our primary source of liquidity is from our Credit Facility with a syndicate of multiple commercial banks, as described in “Note 5 – Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report. As of June 30, 2024, we had $575.9 million available under the Credit Facility to fund our ongoing operations, future acquisitions, dividend payments, and share repurchase program.
We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for a total notional value of $275.0 million to hedge a portion of our floating-rate Credit Facility. The swap agreements will expire in 2025 and 2028, respectively, and we may consider entering into additional swap agreements as these existing hedges expire. As of June 30, 2024, the percentage of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt was 63%.
There are other conditions, such as the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the sustained increase in inflation, both in the U.S. and globally, 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 borrowings, 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 at commercially reasonable terms and conditions if we need additional capital in the near term.
Dividends. We have historically paid quarterly cash dividends to our shareholders of record at $0.14 per share. Total dividend payments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $5.3 million.
Cash dividends declared thus far in 2024 are as follows:

Cash Flow. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $30.8 million to $50.6 million as a result of higher net income, the favorable impact of working capital changes, and the timing of servicing the receivables sold to MUFG under the MRPA. See “Note 3 – Contract Receivables, Net” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for additional details on the sale of receivables under the MRPA.
Cash used in investing activities decreased by $37.1 million due to reduced capital expenditures, timing of acquisitions, and cash received in connection with the 2023 divestiture of our U.S. commercial marketing business.
Cash used in financing activities increased by $70.8 million, due to reduced net borrowings primarily from our Credit Facility and an increase in 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
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934) and have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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
There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.
The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks that we encounter. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Share Repurchase Program. One of the objectives of our share repurchase program has been to offset dilution resulting from our employee incentive plan. 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. Repurchases are funded from our existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 18,183 shares under our share repurchase program at an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2024, $67.2 million of repurchase authority remained available for share repurchases.
Repurchases of Equity Securities. The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity for the three months ended June 30, 2024 for our share repurchase program and shares purchased in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations related to the settlement of restricted stock units.
