Basis of Presentation

The Company's accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Therefore, such financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Form 10-K"). In the Company's opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. 

In February 2024, VSE entered into two separate agreements to sell substantially all of the Federal and Defense segment assets. Additionally, in April 2025, VSE completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of its Fleet segment. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further information. The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations for the Federal and Defense and Fleet segments as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include fair value measurements, inventory provisions, collectability of receivables, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards and settlement of prepaid stock purchase contracts, which were issued as part of the Company's February 2026 issuance of tangible equity units. See Note (13) "Common Stock and Tangible Equity Unit Public Offerings" for further discussion of the prepaid stock purchase contracts, which are assumed to be outstanding at the minimum settlement rate of 0.2171 shares per prepaid stock purchase contract in determining weighted-average shares for basic EPS. Additional shares are included in determining weighted-average shares for diluted EPS based on the imputed settlement rate utilizing the volume weighted-average price of the Company's common stock during the period not to exceed 0.2660 shares per prepaid stock purchase contract, if dilutive. The antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation are not material.
Business Segments The Company's single operating segment is the only segment for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated regularly by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. As the Company operates under a single reportable operating segment, the CODM evaluates segment performance based on net income (loss) and considers budget-to-actual, sequential period and prior period comparisons on a monthly basis when making decisions regarding capital and personnel allocation. Segment assets are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Net sales of the Company exclude intercompany sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation.
