MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"We completed a defining year in our company's history by delivering strong fourth quarter and full year results as we advanced our business transformation strategies, culminating in significant year-over-year growth, robust new business wins, and record full year revenue in our Aviation and Fleet segments,” stated John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation. “These successful fourth quarter results were underpinned by continued program execution excellence and commercial market momentum.”
“In the fourth quarter, our Aviation segment revenue grew by nearly 30% versus the prior-year period, with segment margin reaching 2019 levels, driven by an increased mix of higher-margin repair revenue,” continued Cuomo. “Both our Aviation distribution and MRO businesses are now performing above pre-pandemic levels, with Aviation representing nearly 70% of total fourth quarter profit for VSE.”
“Our Aviation segment completed the acquisition of Precision Fuel Components in February 2023,” continued Cuomo. “This transaction expands our MRO capabilities within the B&GA and rotorcraft markets, supporting our value proposition to provide VSE Aviation customers access to differentiating, full-service, on-demand repair and distribution solutions. We will remain an opportunistic acquirer of complementary, accretive Aviation assets that enhance our capabilities within high-value, underserved portions of the market.”
“Our Fleet segment reported commercial revenue growth of approximately 20% in the fourth quarter, with commercial fleet revenue representing nearly 40% of total segment revenue in the period,” continued Cuomo. “In January 2023, we announced the opening of a new distribution and e-commerce fulfillment center in the greater Memphis, Tennessee area. This 450,000 square-foot distribution center more than doubles the existing warehouse
footprint of VSE’s Fleet segment, providing our Wheeler Fleet Solutions subsidiary the capacity required to meet the growing demand for our aftermarket products across e-commerce fulfillment and commercial fleet customers. We anticipate this distribution center will contribute approximately $50 million in new, incremental sales to our Fleet segment in 2023.”
"We remain well positioned to grow, and in 2022, we reduced our net leverage ratio by nearly a full turn driven by stronger earnings led by Aviation and Fleet. Interest expense increased in the fourth quarter due to a higher Federal Funds Rate and the timing of cash flow in the quarter," stated Stephen Griffin, CFO of VSE Corporation. "We utilized our strong operating and free cash flow to drive reduction in our debt in the fourth quarter, while strategically investing over $10 million in inventory for new distribution programs set to launch in 2023. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation, while seeking to invest in accretive, value-enhancing growth opportunities."
STRATEGIC UPDATE
In 2022, VSE continued to successfully execute on its multi-year business transformation plan of establishing a leading aftermarket parts distribution and MRO services platform in high-growth, fragmented market segments.
New Business and Long-Term, Sustainable Revenue Channels
On February 1, 2023, the Aviation segment acquired Precision Fuel Components, a leading provider of MRO services for engine accessory and fuel systems supporting the business and general aviation (“B&GA”) market. This transaction expands VSE Aviation’s MRO capabilities in B&GA and rotorcraft markets, while positioning the Company to capitalize on higher-margin technical service opportunities.
In January 2023, the Fleet segment opened a new, state-of-the-art e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center in the Memphis, Tennessee area to expand capacity and support faster, same-day order-to-delivery times; to allow for additional shipping carrier options; and to continue the highest level of service for commercial aftermarket parts distribution. The new facility is expected to contribute approximately $50 million in incremental commercial sales to the Fleet segment in 2023.
The Federal & Defense segment is actively investing in business development to ensure sustainable long-term growth. In 2022, business development resources increased five times over 2021, with a focus on core capability competencies and new customer channels. This deliberate, strategic approach resulted in a 60% expansion in the pipeline for new business opportunities. As of December 31, 2022, the segment submitted bids totaling $1.5 billion, now currently awaiting award.
Growing Profit
Aviation operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew to $12.3 million and $15.8 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 173% and 102%, respectively, versus the prior-year period. The strong execution of new programs, as well as market recovery and growth within MRO activities, propelled the business and resulted in a year-over-year margin expansion of +500bps, driving positive outcomes for the quarter.
Fleet operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew to $5.6 million and $7.9 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 6% and 4% versus the prior-year period, respectively. The increase is driven by a successful commercial expansion strategy and stable revenue from the USPS. Growing adjusted EBITDA remains a key priority for this segment. The margin compression in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by $0.6 million in anticipated pre-launch expenses for the new Memphis-area distribution center.
Optimizing Legacy Programs
During the fourth quarter, the Aviation segment commenced inventory purchases for a previously announced expansion into the Asia Pacific region supporting its existing Pratt & Whitney Canada distribution agreement. As part of the expanded agreement, VSE Aviation will provide engine spare parts and exchange support for accessories to B&GA engine customers, operators, and maintenance providers in the Asia Pacific region.
Fleet segment revenue from USPS increased to $39.8 million, up 6% in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period. As the provider of maintenance services for all vehicle types in the 230,000+ USPS fleet, the Fleet segment continues to fulfill its critical role as a key partner in USPS operations, supporting the complexity of its supply chain and providing parts solutions for older long-lived vehicles (LLV), commercial off-the-shelf vehicles (COTS), and next-generation delivery vehicles (NGDV).
In March 2023, the Federal & Defense segment received a 6-month contract extension to its Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) program. The contract extension allows the segment to continue providing Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Follow-on Technical Support (FOTS) services to NAVSEA, which has a funded backlog greater than $125 million.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Aviation segment revenue increased 29% year-over-year to a record $107.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The year-over-year revenue growth was attributable to share gains within the B&GA market and continued commercial aftermarket recovery, supported by global air traffic recovery. Aviation distribution and repair revenue increased 22% and 53% respectively in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period. The Aviation segment reported operating income of $12.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $4.5 million in the same period of 2021. Segment adjusted EBITDA increased by 102% in the fourth quarter to $15.8 million, versus $7.8 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 14.7%, an increase of 528 basis points versus the prior year period, driven by the execution of new program awards and strong MRO results.
Fleet segment revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $64.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenues from commercial customers increased 19% on a year-over-year basis, driven by growth in commercial fleet demand and e-commerce fulfillment sales. Commercial revenue represented approximately 40% of total Fleet segment revenue in the period for the fourth consecutive quarter. The Fleet segment reported operating income of $5.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $5.3 million in the same period of 2021. Segment adjusted EBITDA increased 4% year-over-year to $7.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.2%, a decline of 41 basis points versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by planned $0.6 million in pre-launch expenses for the new e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center in the Memphis area.
Federal & Defense segment revenue decreased 7% year-over-year to $62.3 million in the fourth quarter 2022, driven by decline in U.S. Army work due to program completions, partially offset by increases in a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program with the U.S. Navy. The Federal & Defense segment reported an operating loss of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter 2022, primarily due to a contract loss recognized in the current quarter. The loss is related to a specific fixed-price, non-DoD contract with a foreign customer that is not considered indicative of ongoing business operations and strategy. We expect no further loss related to this contract, which was completed in 2022. Segment adjusted EBITDA declined 77% year-over-year to $0.8 million in the period, given a higher mix of cost-plus contracts and program completion expenses. Funded backlog increased 1% year-to-date to $187 million, while bookings decreased 6% on a year-to-date basis.
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $160 million in cash and unused commitment availability under its $350 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2025. As of December 31, 2022, VSE had total net debt outstanding of $286 million and $92 million of trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

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.
