“Changes in government spending priorities and increased competition for fewer opportunities have caused significant declines in our DoD and other federal legacy revenues,” said VSE CEO Maurice “Mo” Gauthier. “However, our Supply Chain Group has seen growth in both revenue and operating income for the second quarter and first half of this year as compared to the same periods for last year. Our success in extending our vehicle, ship and aircraft sustainment, service life extension and logistics competencies to new markets continues to guide our strategic direction. Additionally, our positive cash flow and reduction in bank debt positions us to consider a variety of options to increase shareholder value.”
Revenues were $108 million compared to $119 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months, revenues were $227 million in 2014 compared to $238 million in 2013.
Operating income was $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months, operating income was $22.1 million in 2014 compared to $22.6 million in 2013.
