Good morning, and welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of ICF International, Inc. Please welcome John Wasson, ICF's Chair and CEO. Good morning. On behalf o f ICF's Board of Directors, management, and employees, I'd like to welcome everyone and thank you for joining us today at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of ICF International, Inc.

As Chair of this meeting, and in accordance with ICF's bylaws, I hereby call the meeting to order at 8:00 A.M. and appoint Jim Daniel, General Counsel and Corporate Assistant Secretary of ICF, as Secretary of this meeting. In 2025, the people of ICF demonstrated strength, resilience, and agility as we navigated unprecedented change and disruption in the federal government market. Against this backdrop, we succeeded in offsetting a large part of the decline in revenues from federal government clients by driving double-digit growth in revenues from our commercial, state and local, and international government clients in the aggregate. At the same time, we maintained our margins while continuing to invest and execute in our three priority growth areas, commercial energy, disaster recovery, and federal technology, to position us for a return to growth in 2026. Our performance in 2025 illustrates the power of a diversified portfolio that pairs industry-leading s ubject matter expertise, technical insights, and program design with innovative technology and disciplined program delivery. ICF's through line across our entire organization is our commitment to build more prosperous and resilient world for all. ICF's more than 8,400 employees work every day to fulfill that purpose. The agenda and rules of conduct appear on your screen on the virtual meeting page. We will conduct the meeting in accordance with these documents.
