AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2021 (1) Basis of Presentation Description of Business Medpace Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Medpace” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global provider of clinical research-based drug and medical device development services. The Company partners with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in the development and execution of clinical trials. The Company’s drug development services focus on full service Phase I-IV clinical development services and include development plan design, project management, regulatory affairs, clinical monitoring, data management and analysis, pharmacovigilance new drug application submissions, post-marketing clinical support, laboratory services, clinical human pharmacology, imaging services, and electrocardiography reading support for clinical trials. The Company’s operations are principally based in North America, Europe, and Asia. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes could differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 . Share Repurchases In the first quarter of 2018, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $ 50.0 million in share repurchases. In the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the stock repurchase authorization by $ 50.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Board approved the stock repurchase authorization up to $ 150.0 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 661,637 shares for $ 43.2 million. As of March 31, 2021, we have remaining authorization of $ 102.6 million remaining under the repurchase program. Repurchases under the share repurchase program are executed in the open market or negotiated transactions under trading plans put in place pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The Company constructively retired the repurchased shares associated with these approved share repurchases, with all amounts paid in excess of par value reflected within Retained earnings in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company engaged in a non-cash financing activity of $ 1.4 million related to share repurchases executed, but not yet paid as of March 31, 2020. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses and other commitments to extend credit held by the reporting entity. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and it had no material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. - 8 - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new guidance includes several provisions to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes for financial reporting purposes and increasing consistency and clarity for financial statement readers. The new guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and the related interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2021 and it has no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. (2) Net Income Per Share Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s Restricted Stock Awards (“RSA”) are considered participating securities because they are legally issued at the date of grant and holders are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting term. The computation of diluted EPS includes additional common shares, such as unvested Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) and stock options with exercise prices less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period (“in-the-money options”), which would be considered outstanding. This assumes that additional shares would have to be issued in cases where the exercise price of stock options is less than the value of the common stock being acquired because the cash proceeds received from the stock option holder would not be sufficient to acquire that same number of shares. The Company does not compute diluted EPS in cases where the inclusion of such additional shares would be anti-dilutive in effect. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except for earnings per share): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Weighted-average shares: Common shares outstanding 35,753 36,024 RSAs 116 95 Total weighted-average shares 35,869 36,119 Earnings per common share—Basic Net income $ 43,306 $ 28,954 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to RSAs 140 76 Net income available to common shareholders—Basic $ 43,166 $ 28,878 Net income per common share—Basic $ 1.21 $ 0.80 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 35,753 36,024 Effect of diluted shares 1,996 2,006 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 37,749 38,030 Net income per common share—Diluted $ 1.14 $ 0.76 During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 0 and 439,405 stock options, respectively, that were excluded due to the exercise price exceeding the average fair value of the Company’s common stock during the period. (3) Fair Value Measurements The Company follows accounting guidance related to fair value measurements that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of “observable” inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy specifies three levels based on the inputs, as follows: Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Valuations based on directly observable inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data. Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity representing management’s determination of assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. - 9 - The fair value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advanced billings approximate their carrying amounts due to their short term maturities. The Company does not have any recurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2021. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. (4) Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities Contract assets and liabilities are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets within the accounts reflected below. Contract Assets Accounts receivable represent amounts due from the Company’s customers who are concentrated primarily in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. Unbilled represents revenue recognized to date that has not been billed or is not yet contractually billable to the customer. In general, amounts become billable upon the achievement of negotiated contractual events, in accordance with predetermined payment schedules or when a reimbursable expense has been incurred. Amounts classified to unbilled are those billable to customers within one year from the respective balance sheet date. Accounts receivable and unbilled, net consisted of the following (in thousands): As of March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Accounts receivable $ 131,918 $ 137,912 Unbilled receivables 28,425 23,396 Less: allowance for doubtful accounts ( 346 ) ( 346 ) Total accounts receivable and unbilled, net $ 159,997 $ 160,962 Contract Liabilities Advanced billings represent cash received from customers, or billed amounts per an agreed upon payment schedule, in advance of services being performed or revenue being recognized. Advanced billings consisted of the following (in thousands): As of March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Advanced billings $ 277,807 $ 255,664 As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $ 1.8 billion of performance obligations remaining to be performed for active projects. - 10 - (5) Intangible Assets, Net Intangible assets, net consisted of the following (in thousands): As of March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Intangible assets: Finite-lived intangible assets: Carrying amount: Customer relationships 145,051 145,051 Accumulated amortization: Customer relationships ( 131,501 ) ( 130,223 ) Total finite-lived intangible assets, net 13,550 14,828 Trade name (indefinite-lived) 31,646 31,646 Total intangible assets, net $ 45,196 $ 46,474 As of March 31, 2021, estimated amortization expense of the Company’s intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands): Amortization Remainder of 2021 $ 3,836 2022 3,353 2023 2,199 2024 1,443 2025 946 Later years 1,773 $ 13,550 (6) Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses consisted of the following (in thousands): As of March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Employee compensation and benefits $ 29,004 $ 40,208 Project related reimbursable expenses 86,044 87,092 Other 8,560 7,067 Total accrued expenses $ 123,608 $ 134,367 (7) Debt On September 30, 2019, the Company obtained an unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $ 50.0 million (the “Credit Facility”) through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Medpace, Inc., as borrower, and Medpace IntermediateCo, Inc., as guarantor. Outstanding balances under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points (1.00%). On March 30, 2020, the Company amended the credit facility to extend its expiration date to March 31, 2021 and add provisions for alternative interest rates when certain interbank market offered rates are not available. On March 29, 2021, the Company amended the credit facility expiration date to March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $ 0.2 million in letters of credit outstanding related to certain operating lease obligations, which are secured by the Credit Facility. (8) Leases The Company enters into leases for real estate and equipment. Real estate leases are for our corporate office space and laboratories around the world. Real estate leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 19 years. Many of the Company’s leases include options to extend the leases on a month to month basis or for set periods for up to 20 years.

The Company granted 312,897 awards to employees under the 2016 Incentive Award Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020, consisting of 20,724 RSA and 92,768 restricted stock units RSU vesting after four years , and 199,405 fully-vested stock option awards. - 12 - Award Activity The following table sets forth the Company’s stock option activity: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Weighted Average Stock Options Exercise Price Outstanding - beginning of period 2,500,727 $ 43.26 Granted - $ - Exercised ( 406,169 ) $ 22.42 Forfeited/Expired ( 12,000 ) $ 57.94 Outstanding - end of period 2,082,558 $ 47.24 Exercisable - end of period 1,564,110 $ 49.66 The following table sets forth the Company’s RSA/RSU activity: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Shares/Units Outstanding and unvested - beginning of period 695,562 Granted - Vested - Forfeited ( 13,935 ) Outstanding and unvested - end of period 681,627 Cumulative vested shares - end of period 1,913,916 Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to all outstanding stock based compensation awards is summarized below (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Total direct costs $ 2,047 $ 2,006 Selling, general and administrative 824 3,439 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 2,871 $ 5,445 (10) Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was 10.7 % and 20.6 % for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 varied from the U.S. statutory rate of 21 % primarily due to the impact of state taxes, which was favorably offset by tax benefits related to Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) and excess tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation. (11) Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including employment claims and claims related to other business transactions. The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of such proceedings, but it believes that adequate reserves have been recorded and losses already recognized with respect to such proceedings, which were immaterial as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred related to these actions; however, the Company believes that such potential losses were immaterial as of March 31, 2021. Purchase Commitments The Company has several minimum purchase commitments for project related supplies totaling $ 12.6 million as of March 31, 2021. In return for the commitment, Medpace receives preferential pricing. The commitments expire at various times through 2027. - 13 - (12) Related Party Transactions Employee Loans The Company periodically extends short term loans or advances to employees, typically upon commencement of employment.

Leased Real Estate Headquarters Lease The Company entered into an operating lease for its corporate headquarters with an entity that is wholly owned by the chief executive officer of the Company. The Company has evaluated its relationship with the related party and concluded that the related party is not a variable interest entity because the Company has no direct ownership interest or relationship other than the lease. The lease for headquarters is for an initial term of twelve years through November 2022 with a renewal option for one 10 -year term at prevailing market rates. The Company pays rent, taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses that arise from the use of the property. Annual base rent for its corporate headquarters allows for adjustments to the rental rate annually for increases in the consumer price index.
