THIRD QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
(As compared to the Third Quarter 2020)

• Total Revenues of $200.6 million increased 21.2%
• GAAP Net Income of $9.0 million increased 11.3%
• Adjusted Net Income of $9.7 million increased 42.5%
• Adjusted EBITDA of $21.4 million increased 18.7%

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported total revenue of $200.6 million, versus $165.5 million for the same period of 2020. Excluding a non-recurring order for pandemic-related personal protective equipment (PPE) in the third quarter 2020, total revenue increased 26.6% on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter 2021, the highest quarterly revenue run-rate since the fourth quarter 2016. The Company reported adjusted net income of $9.7 million or $0.76 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $6.8 million or $0.62 per adjusted diluted share in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $21.4 million in the third quarter 2021, versus $18.0 million for the same period in 2020. The Company generated total free cash flow, as defined by operating cash flow less total capital expenditures, of $21.0 million in the third quarter 2021, versus $11.3 million in the same period of 2020.

Aviation segment revenue increased 101.9% on a year-over-year basis, driven by organic growth within both distribution and MRO markets, initial contributions from program implementation of recent contract wins, and market share gains within the business and general aviation (B&GA) market, supported by the acquisition of Global Parts Group completed in July 2021. Aviation distribution and MRO revenue increased 187% and 8%, respectively, in the third quarter 2021 versus the prior-year period, with distribution revenue currently above pre-pandemic levels.

Fleet segment revenue increased 6.4% on a year-over-year basis, excluding a non-recurring order for pandemic-related PPE fulfilled in the prior-year period. Fleet segment growth was driven by higher commercial fleet and e-commerce fulfillment sales, while U.S. Postal Service-related revenue was flat in the period.

Federal & Defense segment revenue increased 2.5% on a year-over-year basis, given contributions from the March 2021 acquisition of HAECO Special Services and recent contract wins.

STRATEGIC UPDATE

VSE continued to successfully execute on its multi-year business transformation and organic and inorganic growth plans during the third quarter. The management team remains focused on accelerating the business transformation through new business wins, product line and service expansion, execution on new program awards, and accretive bolt-on acquisitions supporting and accelerating the strategy.

Aviation segment's B&GA focus driving sustained revenue growth and margin expansion. During the past twelve months, VSE Aviation expanded its base of small and medium sized business jet customers from approximately 100 to more than 3,000 through a combination of new contract wins and complementary, bolt-on acquisitions. These actions have contributed to significant sustaining growth in Aviation segment revenue, together with opportunity for margin expansion. VSE Aviation expects to gain further traction in this market as both new and existing business jet customers leverage the full breadth of the Company’s combined repair and distribution capabilities.

Aviation segment executing multiple program implementations in support of new contract wins. On a year-to-date basis, VSE Aviation has announced more than $100 million of new annualized contract revenue from multi-year distribution agreements with leading global OEMs. During June 2021, VSE Aviation commenced implementation of a 15-year, $1 billion engine accessories distribution agreement in support of B&GA engine operators and maintenance providers located throughout the United States. To date, program implementation and revenue are in line with initial expectations.

Aviation segment continues to secure multi-year contract extensions with OEM customers. In October 2021, VSE Aviation announced a 5-year extension of an existing distribution agreement valued at approximately $125 million with a global aircraft engine manufacturer. Under the terms of the agreement, VSE Aviation will remain the distributor of new fuel control systems and associated spare parts to the B&GA and rotorcraft markets for this leading global OEM. The agreement, which was initially scheduled to terminate in 2024, has been extended through 2029 and builds on VSE Aviation’s multi-year pipeline of higher-value contractual revenue with both new and existing partners.

Fleet segment continues to generate strong revenue growth and diversification across commercial fleet and eCommerce fulfillment businesses. During a period of global supply chain disruption and part shortages, commercial fleets have increased their reliance on VSE's Wheeler Fleet Solutions subsidiary as a critical supplier of parts, including higher-margin private label brands. This dynamic, coupled with strong e-commerce demand, resulted in a 65.9% year-over-year increase in total Fleet segment commercial revenue during the third quarter 2021, as compared to the prior-year period. Commercial revenue represented 34.3% of total Fleet revenue in the third quarter 2021, versus 22.0% in the prior-year period when excluding the non-recurring PPE order, in line with the continued revenue diversification strategy.

Federal & Defense segment building funded backlog through new foreign military sales wins, contract extensions. In conjunction with a programmatic business development focus, Federal & Defense segment has expanded its bidding activity with both the U.S. armed forces and allied foreign militaries. These actions contributed to a 23% year-over-year increase in funded backlog during the third quarter 2021 and a strong qualified pipeline of new business opportunities.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We continued to execute on our aftermarket distribution and MRO strategies during the third quarter, while positioning the business to generate above-market revenue growth in higher-margin, niche verticals that leverage our unique value proposition,” stated John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation. “New contract wins, long-term program extensions, strong program execution, commercial e-commerce growth, together with contributions from recently completed acquisitions, have created a strong, recurring base of business driving continued growth and margin expansion opportunities for VSE.”

“Our Aviation segment had a strong third quarter, as revenue increased more than 100% versus the prior year period, while Adjusted EBITDA margins grew materially on both a sequential and year-over-year basis, driven by new program wins and improved demand across both our distribution and MRO businesses,” continued Cuomo. “In June, we commenced service under our 15-year, $1 billion engine accessories distribution agreement. This program is currently performing in line with our previously communicated forecasts, driven by strong B&GA customer demand and solid execution from the VSE Aviation team.”

“We remain committed to building upon existing, long-term customer relationships that align with our broader commercial strategy,” continued Cuomo. “In October, we announced VSE Aviation won a five-year extension to an existing distribution agreement valued at approximately $125 million with a global aircraft engine manufacturer. Our ability to both retain and expand upon decades-long partnerships that provide higher-value, multi-year contractual revenue streams is integral to the continued success of our long-term organic growth strategy.”

“Our Fleet segment generated strong revenue growth across commercial and e-commerce channels during the third quarter, serving as a reliable partner to customers during a period of global supply chain disruption,” continued Cuomo. “Fleet adjusted EBITDA margins increased 80 basis points sequentially. Within our Federal and Defense segment, revenue increased year-over-year on several new program awards and extensions, while funded backlog increased more than 20% versus the prior-year period. Our business development teams have built a strong qualified pipeline of high-margin, niche capability opportunities to support the future of this segment,” concluded Cuomo.

“VSE remains focused on improving profitability as we execute our strategic growth initiatives. Our EBITDA margin was 10.7% in the third quarter as the Aviation Segment margin rate grew to 10.0%, up 340 basis points versus the prior year period. VSE generated strong free cash flow in the third quarter of $21 million and ended the period with more than $117 million of liquidity,” stated Stephen Griffin, CFO of VSE Corporation. We remain focused on growing the business both organically and inorganically, and are pleased with the early progress made with the recently completed Global Parts acquisition. We continue to stay focused on achieving our net leverage target of 2.5x by year-end 2022 through meaningful growth in EBITDA as a result of the recent investments in working capital made throughout 2021.”

The non-GAAP Financial Information set forth in this document is not calculated in accordance with 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.
