VSE Corporation (NASDAQ: VSEC, "VSE", or the "Company"), a leading provider of aftermarket distribution and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for land, sea and air transportation assets for government and commercial markets, today announced results for the second quarter 2021.

SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
(As compared to the Second Quarter 2020)

  • Total Revenues of $175.1 million increased 3.8%
  • GAAP Net Loss of $(12.4) million vs. $(22.6) million
  • Adjusted Net Income of $7.7 million increased 16.0%
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $18.9 million increased 9.5%

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported total revenue of $175.1 million, versus $168.7 million for the same period ended 2020. Excluding the divestiture of CT Aerospace and a non-recurring order for pandemic-related personal protective equipment (PPE) in the second quarter 2020, total revenue increased 18.1% on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter 2021. The Company reported adjusted net income of $7.7 million or $0.60 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $6.6 million or $0.60 per adjusted diluted share in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $18.9 million in the second quarter 2021, versus $17.2 million for the same period in 2020.

Aviation segment revenue increased 52.3% on a year-over-year basis, excluding the divestiture of CT Aerospace. Aviation segment growth was driven by improved demand within distribution and repair markets, share gains within the business and general aviation (B&GA) market, and initial contributions from recently announced contract wins. Aviation distribution and repair revenue increased 85% and 13%, respectively, in the second quarter 2021 versus the prior-year period, with distribution currently operating above pre-pandemic levels. Fleet segment revenue increased 12.2% on a year-over-year basis, excluding a non-recurring order for pandemic-related PPE sold in the prior-year period. Fleet segment growth was driven by higher commercial fleet and e-commerce fulfillment sales, offsetting a modest decline in U.S. Postal Service-related revenue. Federal & Defense segment revenue increased 6.5% on a year-over-year basis, as contributions from the acquisition of HAECO Special Services during the quarter more than offset the completion of a DoD program.

In the second quarter, VSE recognized an increase to its inventory valuation reserve, resulting in a non-cash $24.4 million pre-tax loss primarily associated with Aviation segment inventory purchased before 2019. The reserve is primarily driven by the significant decline in global air travel related to the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in lower demand for certain aviation products in international regions. VSE does not anticipate lower international demand to materially impact the recovery of the Aviation segment. At this time, the Company does not anticipate any further material inventory reserve adjustments.

STRATEGY UPDATE

VSE continued to successfully execute on a multi-year business transformation and growth plan during the second quarter. The management team remains focused on accelerating the business transformation through new business wins, product and service line expansions, and accretive, bolt-on acquisitions.

  • Executed on revenue diversification strategy within higher-margin, under-served markets. During the past two years, the company has narrowed its strategic focus to higher-margin, value-added market opportunities that leverage its unique value proposition. Within the Aviation segment, this focus led to the creation of a comprehensive B&GA product and service offering. Within the Fleet segment, an increased focus on aftermarket parts distribution within commercial and e-commerce channels has served to diversify its revenue mix beyond the legacy U.S. Postal Service relationship. In the Federal & Defense segment, increased focus has been placed on developing a more sophisticated on- and off-base service offering capable of providing both on-demand and scheduled maintenance to support the U.S. government and allied foreign militaries.
  • Aviation segment commenced deliveries on $1 billion engine accessories distribution agreement. During the second quarter, VSE commenced deliveries on a previously announced, 15-year distribution agreement valued at approximately $1.0 billion with Pratt & Whitney Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, VSE will be the distributor for more than 6,000 flight-critical components across more than 100 B&GA and regional jet engine platforms.
  • Aviation segment acquired leading B&GA airframe distribution and MRO company. On July 26, 2021, VSE announced the acquisition of Global Parts Group, Inc. (Global Parts), a leading provider of B&GA distribution and MRO services, for $38 million. Strategically, the acquisition expands VSE’s existing B&GA focus to include the entire airframe, including accessories, landing gear, rotables, power supplies, wheels, brakes and windows. This acquisition further diversifies VSE's existing product and platform offerings, while expanding its customer base of regional and global B&GA customers. Global Parts generated approximately $65 million in total revenue in the full-year 2020.
  • Fleet segment expanded commercial distribution capabilities. Total commercial revenue, which excludes U.S. Postal Service and Government-related revenue, increased 107% in the second quarter 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, driven by increased sales in e-commerce fulfillment and commercial fleet channels. Commercial revenue represented 30% of total Fleet revenue in the second quarter 2021, versus 16% in the prior-year period when excluding the non-recurring PPE order.
  • Federal & Defense segment launched Aircraft Maintenance & Modernization division. Leveraging expertise acquired through the HAECO Special Services acquisition, VSE launched a division dedicated to providing on and off-base maintenance and modification services to government customers that include scheduled and unscheduled maintenance checks, contract field team technical services, avionic and structural modifications, and upgrades and conversions for government and military aircraft.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We continued to advance our business transformation and revenue diversification strategy during the second quarter. VSE continued to gain market share in niche, higher-margin verticals, while capitalizing on gaps within under-served, fragmented markets where our technical expertise and integrated suite of solutions remain key competitive advantages,” stated John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation. "We anticipate a continued recovery in Aviation segment performance in the coming year, supported by recent contract wins, product and service line expansions, inorganic growth and improved operating efficiencies. Aviation distribution revenue exceeded pre-pandemic levels during the second quarter, while repair activity continues to improve.”

“The acquisition of Global Parts further solidifies our position as a leading distribution and MRO services provider within the business jet market,” continued Cuomo. “This transaction expands VSE Aviation’s B&GA support capabilities beyond existing engine, avionics and satellite communications to include the airframe, resulting in the creation of a more comprehensive parts distribution and MRO solutions provider for our global base of business jet customers. The acquisition of Global Parts is immediately accretive to our Aviation segment.”

“Our Fleet segment continued to experience strong growth within commercial distribution and e-commerce fulfillment during the second quarter, resulting in an increasingly diverse revenue mix that extends beyond our legacy USPS business,” continued Cuomo. “Our Federal & Defense business performed on-plan, with both bookings and backlog increasing on a year-over-year basis during the second quarter. The recent launch of our Aircraft Maintenance and Modernization division represents an exciting opportunity to leverage the technical expertise acquired through the HAECO Special Services transaction, one that has the potential to support a higher-margin book of business within our Federal & Defense segment.”

“Disciplined balance sheet management remains a key area of focus for our team,” stated Stephen Griffin, CFO of VSE Corporation. “Over the near to medium term, we expect working capital investments in new program inventory to drive incremental revenue and EBITDA, resulting in a decline in net leverage at or below historical levels by year-end 2022.”

“The update to our inventory valuation reserves in the second quarter takes into consideration important regional pandemic-related market dynamics, primarily related to Aviation inventory for distribution agreements entered into before 2019. This reserve change incorporates lower expected demand for certain inventory supporting international customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, it does not materially alter our outlook for the Aviation segment where our distribution business revenue exceeded pre-pandemic levels during the second quarter, and it does not affect any of our recent investments in new, high-performing customer programs.”

“In July, we amended and extended our existing loan agreement with our commercial banking syndicate,” continued Griffin. “This amendment extends the maturity of our existing arrangement to 2024, while providing the flexibility to further our business transformation and pursue immediately accretive strategic acquisitions.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

AVIATION
Distribution & MRO Services

VSE’s Aviation segment provides aftermarket MRO and distribution services to commercial, cargo, business and general aviation, military/defense and rotorcraft customers globally. Core services include parts distribution, component and engine accessory MRO services, rotable exchange and supply chain services.

VSE Aviation segment revenue increased 52.3% year-over-year to $47.5 million in the second quarter 2021, less contributions from the divested CT Aerospace assets in the second quarter 2021. The year-over-year revenue improvement was attributable to a domestic recovery in post-pandemic air travel, and contributions from recently announced contract wins and market share gains, particularly within the B&GA market. The Aviation segment recorded an operating loss of $(22.3) million in the second quarter, versus an operating loss of $(34.4) million in the prior-year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased to $4.0 million in the second quarter 2021, versus $1.2 million in the prior-year period.

FLEET
Distribution & Fleet Services

VSE's Fleet segment provides parts, inventory management, e-commerce fulfillment, logistics, supply chain support and other services to support the commercial aftermarket medium- and heavy-duty truck market, the United States Postal Service (USPS), and the United States Department of Defense. Core services include parts distribution, sourcing, proprietary IT solutions, customized fleet logistics, warehousing, kitting, just-in-time supply chain management, alternative product sourcing, engineering and technical support.

VSE Fleet segment revenue increased 12.2% year-over-year to $58.1 million in the second quarter 2021, excluding a non-recurring order for pandemic-related protective equipment fulfilled in the prior-year period. Revenues from commercial customers increased approximately $9.1 million or 107%, driven by growth in commercial fleet demand and the e-commerce fulfillment business. The operating income decline of (43.0)% year-over-year to $4.0 million in the second quarter 2021 is due to sales mix-related factors, resulting in a segment Adjusted EBITDA decline of (26.5)% year-over-year to $7.0 million.

FEDERAL & DEFENSE
Logistics & Sustainment Services

VSE's Federal & Defense segment provides aftermarket MRO and logistics services to improve operational readiness and extend the life cycle of military vehicles, ships and aircraft for the U.S. Armed Forces, federal agencies and international defense customers. Core services include base operations support, procurement, supply chain management, vehicle, maritime and aircraft sustainment services, IT services and energy consulting.

VSE Federal & Defense segment revenue increased 6.5% year-over-year to $69.5 million in the second quarter 2021, driven by growth in maritime services and the contributions from the HAECO Special Services business. Operating income grew 3.4% year-over-year to $7.0 million in the second quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA grew 7.8% year-over-year to $8.1 million in the period. VSE Federal & Defense second quarter bookings increased 138% year-over-year to $107 million. Funded backlog increased 31% year-over-year to $224 million.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $140 million in cash and unused commitment availability under its $350 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2024. The Company’s existing credit facility includes a $100 million accordion provision, subject to customary lender commitment approvals. As of June 30, 2021, VSE had total net debt outstanding of $275 million, and $69.7 million of trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

The non-GAAP Financial Information set forth in this document is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") under SEC Regulation G. We consider Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS (Diluted), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow as non-GAAP financial measures and important indicators of performance and useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate our business' ongoing operating performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income represents Net Income adjusted for acquisition-related costs including any earn-out adjustments, loss on sale of a business entity and certain assets, gain on sale of property, other discrete items, and related tax impact. Adjusted EPS (Diluted) is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and other amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (as defined above) adjusted for discrete items as identified above. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow represents operating cash flow less capital expenditures.
