"Our second quarter and year to date revenues declined from prior year levels primarily due to the challenging budget environment," said Maurice "Mo" Gauthier, VSE CEO. "However, we have had some success at winning new work, and effectively managed costs to increase our net income, operating income, and earnings per share over second quarter 2012. We plan to continue to balance costs with revenue levels as dictated by market conditions and diversify our service offerings into adjacent markets to enhance both our competitiveness and profitability."
Revenues were $119 million compared to $136 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months, revenues were $238 million in 2013 compared to $276 million in 2012.
Operating income was $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months, operating income was $22.6 million in 2013 compared to $25 million in 2012.
Net income was $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $1.18 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.  Net income was $12.1 million for the first six months of 2013, or $2.27 per diluted share, compared to $13 million, or $2.44 per diluted share for the first six months of 2012.

Bookings were $248 million for the first six months of 2013 compared to revenue of $238 million. Funded contract backlog at June 30, 2013 was $238 million, compared to $264 million at March 31, 2013 and $265 million at June 30, 2012.

Update on U. S. Army Reserve Program
Our U. S. Army Reserve contract is being re-competed to transition the work from the General Services Administration (GSA) to Army contracts. Our current contract expired July 20, 2013 prior to the award of successor follow-on contracts. Consequently, on July 22, 2013 we suspended operations for this work and placed our workforce of approximately 700 employees for this program on furlough.  This program generated approximately $39 million of our revenue in the first six months of 2013. There is no guarantee that we will regain a substantial part of this U.S. Army Reserve vehicle refurbishment work. We expect the successor contracts to be awarded during the third quarter of 2013.
