  • Entergy Louisiana awarded ICF a $35 million energy-efficiency contract on August 5, 2026.
  • ICF reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $1.89 billion to $1.96 billion in May 2026.
  • Commercial, state, local, and international clients exceeded 58% of Q1 2026 revenue.

  • ICF's 2026 acquisitions deepen utility, grid, and local-government specialization.
