VSE Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2018
Federal Group Revenue Declines; Aviation Group Increases
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VSE Corporation (Nasdaq: VSEC) reported the following unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2018.
CEO Commentary
"We continue to experience a reduction in revenue from our Federal Services Group; however, contract backlog improved at the end of the second quarter. We are attaining encouraging results from our strategic efforts in our Aviation Group. Our Singapore operation began generating revenue in the second quarter as we extend new product lines to new geographic and end-user markets,” said Maurice “Mo” Gauthier, VSE CEO.
Mr. Gauthier continued, “Our Supply Chain Management Group’s revenue decreased slightly due to a reduction of parts ordered by the U.S. Postal Service, which was partially offset by increases in commercial and DoD revenue during the second quarter. Our Supply Chain Management Group has experienced double digit growth in both the commercial and DoD markets and we will continue to focus on these key markets.”

Financial Information
Revenues were $170.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $193.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months, revenues were $347.3 million in 2018 compared to $391.2 million in 2017. These decreases were primarily attributable to a reduction in work in our Federal Services Group.
Operating income was $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months, operating income was $25.4 million in 2018 and $29.2 million in 2017. The operating income decrease was primarily attributable to revenue decreases in our Federal Services Group and lower U.S. Postal Service revenues in our Supply Chain Management Group, which was partially offset by a revenue increase for the Aviation Group.
Net income was $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $7.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2017. Net income was $15.8 million for the first six months of 2018, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $15.1 million, or $1.39 per diluted share for the first six months of 2017. The increase in net income was due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which reduced the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
Bookings in our Federal Services Group were $189 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to revenue for this group of $169 million. Funded contract backlog at June 30, 2018 was $338 million, compared to $261 million at March 31, 2018 and $386 million at June 30, 2017.
