MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Strong business performance and market conditions in the second quarter of 2023 supported double-digit revenue growth and improved profitability in both our Aviation and Fleet segments,” said John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation. “Our record results reflect our strengthening customer and supplier relationships, market share expansion, and robust end-market activity. We expect to build off this momentum in the second half of 2023, driven by the strong execution of recently awarded distribution programs, the expansion of new capabilities within MRO, and the scaling of our newly launched Memphis, Tennessee distribution and e-commerce fulfillment facility.”

“Our differentiated market position, strong program execution, and bespoke product and service offerings, supported by favorable long-term industry trends, will position us to deliver exceptional results in the second half of 2023 and beyond”, concluded Mr. Cuomo.

Steve Griffin, CFO of VSE Corporation, commented, "Following our oversubscribed secondary equity offering in July 2023, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and reduced net leverage, providing the Company with increased financial flexibility. Our balance sheet and improved cash flow in the second half of the year will serve as a catalyst for our strategic initiatives and allow us to pursue both organic and inorganic investment and growth opportunities."

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS / STRATEGIC UPDATE

Strong Program Execution and Market Share Gains Driving Record Financial Performance
•Aviation segment second-quarter revenue increased 19%, driven by increased MRO activity and strong execution on new and existing distribution programs
•Fleet segment second-quarter revenue increased 24%, supported by contributions from all revenue channels with sales growth from e-commerce fulfillment accounts, commercial fleet customers, and the United States Postal Service




Balance Sheet Optimization
Completed Follow-on Equity Offering
•In July 2023, VSE completed a follow-on equity offering of 2,475,000 shares of common stock at $48.50 per share ("Offering"), resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $112.7 million
•VSE used substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility
•The net proceeds of the Offering significantly increases balance sheet flexibility, allowing the Company to pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportunities

Executed Variable-to-Fixed Interest Rate Swap
•In July 2023, VSE executed a 3-year fixed interest rate swap ("Swap") that hedges the variability in interest payments on $100 million of floating rate debt
•Following the execution of the Swap, VSE has hedged an aggregate of $250 million of its variable debt

Repositioning of the Business
Sale of Federal & Defense Segment
•In May 2023, VSE entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Federal and Defense segment to Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP for up to $100 million in total cash consideration, including a $50 million earn-out, subject to certain re-compete(s) being awarded
•The transaction is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions and approvals

Acquisition of Desser Aerospace
•On July 3, 2023, VSE completed the acquisition of Desser Holding Company LLC (“Desser Aerospace”), a global aftermarket solutions provider of specialty distribution and MRO services
•VSE acquired Desser Aerospace assets for a net purchase price of $94 million (subject to customary adjustments for working capital) following the sale of Desser Aerospace’s Proprietary Solutions
•VSE funded the acquisition with borrowings under a term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility
•The acquisition expands and diversifies the Company’s Aviation segment product and MRO capability offerings and provides a platform for growth into international markets
•The business will be fully integrated into the Aviation segment systems, processes and organization

SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Aviation segment revenue increased 19% year-over-year to a record $124.7 million in the second quarter 2023. The year-over-year revenue improvement was attributable to strong program execution of new and existing distribution awards and increased MRO activity. Aviation distribution and repair revenue increased 13% and 37%, respectively, in the second quarter 2023, versus the prior-year period. The Aviation segment reported operating income of $15.8 million in the second quarter, compared to $6.5 million in the same period of 2022. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by 61% in the second quarter to $19.2 million, versus $11.9 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.4%, an increase of approximately 400 basis points versus the prior-year period, driven primarily by strong MRO revenue growth, favorable product mix and price.

Fleet segment revenue increased 24% year-over-year to $80.5 million in the second quarter 2023. Revenue from commercial customers increased 46% on a year-over-year basis, driven by growth in commercial fleet and e-commerce fulfillment. Commercial revenue represented 47% of total Fleet segment revenue in the period, a 7-point increase year-over-year. Revenue from the United States Postal Service (USPS) increased approximately 15% on a year-over-year basis, driven by an expansion of the installed base and increased support of legacy vehicle fleets. The Fleet segment reported operating income of $7.9 million in the second quarter, compared to $5.4 million in the same period of 2022. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% year-over-year to $9.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin declined approximately 10 basis points to 11.9%, primarily impacted by customer mix and under-absorption of fixed costs at the newly launched distribution and e-commerce fulfillment facility.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $71 million in cash and unused commitment availability under its $350 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2025. As of June 30, 2023, VSE had total net debt outstanding of $371


million and $99.8 million of trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Net leverage was 3.7 times as of the end of the second quarter.

The Company expects the net leverage ratio to be below 3.5 times by the end of the third quarter 2023, following Adjusted EBITDA contribution and free cash flow generation in the third quarter, proceeds from the recently announced common stock offering, and partially offset by the acquisition of Desser Aerospace.

In July 2023, the Company amended its credit facility with its lending syndicate in connection with the Desser Aerospace acquisition. The amendment provided for an incremental $90 million Term Loan A and a revision of certain financial covenants of the existing facility.

GUIDANCE

VSE is increasing its full year 2023 revenue guidance. The Company is maintaining its Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance for its Aviation and Fleet segments and its positive free cash flow guidance for the second half of 2023. The new guidance is as follows:
•Aviation segment full year 2023 revenue guidance is increasing from 10 to 15% to 25 to 30% growth, as compared to the prior year, to reflect contributions from the recent Desser Aerospace acquisition and improved performance within distribution and MRO sales channels
•Aviation segment expects Adjusted EBITDA margin to be at the higher end of its previously provided guidance range of 13 to 15%
•Fleet segment full year 2023 revenue guidance is increasing from 12 to 20% to 20 to 25% growth, as compared to the prior year, to reflect strong growth in USPS sales and commercial customer market share gains
•Fleet segment is maintaining its Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance range of 11 to 13%
•The Company maintains its outlook for positive free cash flow in the second half of 2023

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.
The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding Adjusted EBITDA margin. This non-GAAP financial measure is derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company's future financial results. This non-GAAP financial measure is a preliminary estimate and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the company's actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.
