VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2023

(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

VSE Corporation (“VSE,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for transportation assets to commercial and government markets.

Basis of Presentation

Our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K"). In our 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. 

Due to our intent to sell our Federal and Defense segment, the consolidated financial statements present the Federal and Defense segment's results of operations as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale for all periods presented. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Once the sale is complete, our operations will be conducted under two operating segments: Aviation and Fleet.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to reflect discontinued operations classification. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.

Underwritten Public Offering

In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of up to 2,846,250 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The issuance and sale of shares pursuant to the agreement was executed in two transactions, with the first transaction closing on July 24, 2023, and the second transaction, which represented shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, closing on July 28, 2023. We received proceeds of $129.1 million in connection with the offerings, net of issuance costs. We used substantially all of the proceeds of the public offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

(2) Acquisitions

Precision Fuel Components, LLC

On February 1, 2023, our Aviation segment acquired Precision Fuel Components, LLC ("Precision Fuel") for a purchase price of $11.7 million. Precision Fuel provides MRO services for engine accessory and fuel systems supporting the business and general aviation ("B&GA") market. Our acquisition of Precision Fuel expanded our MRO capabilities and client base. Precision Fuel operating results are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in net tangible assets of $3.1 million, goodwill of $4.8 million, and contract and customer-related intangible asset of $3.8 million, which is being amortized over a period of five years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of Precision Fuel, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Desser Aerospace

On July 3, 2023, we closed on, and completed, the acquisition of Desser Holding Company LLC ("Desser Aerospace"), a global aftermarket solutions provider of specialty distribution and MRO services. The intent to acquire Desser Aerospace was announced on May 4, 2023. We purchased Desser Aerospace for a preliminary cash consideration of $133.8 million, which included $9.5 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (subject to post-closing adjustments). Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, we immediately sold, in a separate transaction, Desser Aerospace’s propriety solutions businesses to Loar Group Inc. (“Loar”) for a cash consideration of $31.8 million, which included $1.8 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (the “Loar Sale”).

The purchase price for Desser Aerospace was allocated on a preliminary basis, among assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, at fair value based on the best available information on the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values of the non-financial assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, were determined based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations utilizing established industry valuation techniques. We have not yet finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, working capital and income taxes. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes to the Desser Aerospace opening balance sheet. Adjustments or changes to goodwill, assets or liabilities remain possible.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented above has been prepared from historical financial statements that have been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Desser Aerospace as though it had occurred on January 1, 2022 and includes adjustments for intangible asset amortization; interest expense and debt issuance costs on long-term debt; acquisition and other transaction costs; and certain costs allocated from the former parent. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

Honeywell Fuel Control Systems

On September 27, 2023, our Aviation segment entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International Inc., for a purchase price of $105.0 million, to exclusively manufacture, sell, market, distribute, and repair certain Honeywell fuel control systems (the "Honeywell FCS Acquisition"). The purchase price of this acquisition was funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This agreement expands existing distribution and MRO capabilities supporting certain Honeywell’s fuel control systems and associated subcomponents.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in inventory of $12.0 million, property and equipment of $2.7 million, goodwill of $73.0 million, and contract and customer-related intangible asset of $17.3 million, which is being amortized over a period of 10 years. We have not yet obtained all the information required to complete the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition. We are in the process of finalizing our valuation and the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes in the fair values and an adjustment to goodwill.

We incurred $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the Honeywell FCS Acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

(3) Discontinued Operations

In May 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Federal and Defense (“FDS”) business to an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP. On September 27, 2023, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. Neither party paid any termination fees. We still intend to pursue divestiture of the segment with an entity that can support its growth plans. As a result of the May 2023 agreement, and because we still intend to divest the business, in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, results of operations for FDS are reported in income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the carrying value of the related assets and liabilities are presented within assets and liabilities held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

We had letters of credit outstanding of $0.7 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

In July 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment to our credit agreement which, among other things, provided for the following: (i) the extension of a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million, which will mature on the same date as the existing term loan; (ii) a reduction in our capacity to incur incremental revolving or term loan credit facilities from $100.0 million to $25.0 million; (iii) quarterly amortization payments for the new term loan in the amount of $2.25 million; (iv) an increase in the maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio from 4.50x to 5.00x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter; (v) the addition of a tier to the top of the pricing grid if the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 4.50x; and (vi) expressly permitting the Desser Aerospace acquisition and the subsequent and simultaneous sale of the propriety solutions businesses to Loar (the "Loar Sale"). The net proceeds received under the new term loan were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Desser Aerospace acquisition.

Future required term loan and revolving facility payments as of September 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

(6) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2023 were (in thousands):

	Notional Amount	Paid Fixed Rate	Receive Variable Rate	Settlement and Termination
Interest rate swaps	$150,000	2.8%	1-month term SOFR	Monthly through October 31, 2027
Interest rate swaps (a)	$100,000	4.5%	1-month term SOFR	Monthly through July 31, 2026

(a) In July 2023, we executed a fixed interest rate swap that hedges the variability in interest payments on $100 million of floating rate debt. We have designated, and will account for, this fixed interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.

We are party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our floating rate debt. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we reclassified $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. We estimate that we will reclassify $4.5 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following September 30, 2023.

(7) 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. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards. There were no antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	15,001,908	12,797,727	13,585,391	12,772,731
Effect of dilutive shares	48,154	36,357	53,673	43,588
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	15,050,062	12,834,084	13,639,064	12,816,319

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

We may have certain claims in the normal course of business, including legal proceedings, against us and against other parties. In our opinion, the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Further, from time-to-time, government agencies audit or investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable contractual and regulatory requirements. Government audits or investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes, audits and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Amounts Recorded at Fair Value	Financial Statement Classification	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value September 30, 2023		Fair Value December 31, 2022
Non-COLI assets held in Deferred Supplemental Compensation Plan(a)	Other assets	Level 1	$	566	$	539
Interest rate swaps	Other assets	Level 2	$	9,298	$	6,620
(a) Non-Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets held in our deferred supplemental compensation plan consist of equity funds with fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and amounts included in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying value of our outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to our existing debt arrangements.

(12) Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.

Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 27.9% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 25.2% and 26.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of prior year primarily due to 2023 transaction costs incurred in connection with the Desser Aerospace acquisition that was disallowed for tax purposes. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of prior year was attributable to higher pre-tax book income reported in the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

We are a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for transportation assets to commercial and government markets.

Recent Developments

Sale of Federal and Defense Segment

In May 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Federal and Defense (“FDS”) business to an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP. On September 27, 2023, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. Neither party paid any termination fees. We still intend to pursue divestiture of the segment with an entity that can support its growth plans. As a result of the May 2023 agreement, and because we still intend to divest the business, in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, results of operations for FDS are reported in income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the carrying value of the related assets and liabilities are presented within assets and liabilities held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Acquisitions

In July 2023, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Desser Holding Company LLC ("Desser Aerospace"), a global aftermarket solutions provider of specialty distribution and MRO services.

In September 2023, we entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International Inc. to exclusively manufacture, sell, market, distribute, and repair certain Honeywell fuel control systems (the "Honeywell FCS Acquisition").

See Note (2) "Acquisitions" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Underwritten Public Offering

In July 2023, we initiated a public offering of the Company's common stock relating to the issuance and sale of 2,846,250 shares at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The offering closed in two transactions, and net proceeds of $129.1 million was received by the Company, which were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. See Note (1) "Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Business Trends

The following discussion provides a brief description of some of the key business factors impacting our results of operations detailed by segment.

Aviation Segment

During the third quarter, our strong program execution of new and existing distribution awards, an expansion of product offerings and MRO capabilities, increased market activity, and contributions from the Desser Aerospace acquisition produced strong results, with quarterly revenue reaching $152.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing a 48% increase year-over-year. Market growth and share gains have resulted in a 54% and 46% year-over-year increase in repair and distribution revenue, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period for the prior year. Our growth has been driven by several strategic initiatives, including the introduction of new products and service capabilities to our portfolio, further strengthening our position in the market. Additionally, expanding our partnerships with Original Equipment Manufacturers has provided us new opportunities, including access to new markets with an established customer base. We believe the July 2023 acquisition of Desser Aerospace will increase our exposure to the high-growth, higher-margin aviation distribution and MRO markets. We believe that the combination of Desser Aerospace’s distribution and MRO capabilities coupled with VSE Aviation’s aftermarket business capabilities and offerings creates a platform for geographic expansion into international markets and provides opportunities to cross-sell products and services. Furthermore, we believe that

-21-

the Honeywell FCS Acquisition to exclusively manufacture, sell, market, distribute, and repair certain Honeywell fuel control systems expands our existing capabilities and provides access to new customers and end markets while strengthening our partnership with Honeywell.

Fleet Segment

During the third quarter, growth in our Fleet segment was driven by contributions from commercial fleet customers, e-commerce fulfillment volume, and the United States Postal Service ("USPS"). The solid performance of our USPS program is supported by the expansion of the installed base of USPS vehicles and continued support of legacy vehicles. We have made significant progress in executing our revenue diversification strategy through the successful launch of our new e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center, including the completion of initial inventory investments. These strategic initiatives have been instrumental in our ability to capture new customers and drive revenue growth within e-commerce fulfillment. Our commercial revenues were 47% of total Fleet segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 39% for the same period in the prior year, demonstrating the continued success of our diversification strategy.

Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in the prior year due to growth in our Aviation segment of $49.7 million and our Fleet segment of $14.2 million. See "Segment Operating Results" section below for further discussion of revenues by segment.

Revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in the prior year due to growth in our Aviation segment of $89.4 million and our Fleet segment of $38.3 million. See "Segment Operating Results" section below for further discussion of revenues by segment.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue. Costs and operating expenses for our operating segments increase and decrease in conjunction with the level of business activity and revenues generated by each segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for discussion of cost and operating expenses by segment.

Operating Income. Operating income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase of $10.9 million for our Aviation segment and $2.0 million for our Fleet segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment. The operating income increase attributable to our segments was partially offset by an increase in corporate costs, including acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.

Operating income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase of $28.3 million for our Aviation segment and an increase of $4.0 million for our Fleet segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment. The operating income increase attributable to our

-22-

segments was partially offset by an increase in corporate costs, including acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in our debt facility borrowings and a higher average interest rate on borrowings outstanding.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 27.9% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 25.2% and 26.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year. Permanent differences such as foreign derived intangible income deduction, Section 162(m) limitation, capital gains tax treatment, state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and other items caused differences between our statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate and our effective tax rate. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily resulted from various transaction costs incurred in 2023 in connection with the Desser Aerospace acquisition that was disallowed for tax purposes. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was attributable to higher pre-tax book income reported in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in our level of revenues and associated inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and from profitability. Significant increases or decreases in revenues and inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable can affect our liquidity. Our inventory and accounts payable levels can be affected by the timing of large opportunistic inventory purchases and by distributor agreement requirements. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the level of work we perform and by the timing of large purchases. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include capital expenditures, and investments in the acquisition of businesses.

Our primary sources of external financing are the capital markets and our credit agreement. Our credit agreement is with a bank group and includes a term loan and a revolving facility, with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of our revolving facility

-24-

of $350.0 million. Under the credit agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan, the revolving facility, or a combination of both, subject to customary lender commitment approvals. The aggregate limit of increases is $25.0 million. Our outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement increased approximately $174.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had borrowings outstanding under our term loan of $182.5 million, borrowings outstanding under our revolving facility of $281.0 million, outstanding letters of credit of $0.7 million, and $68.3 million of unused commitments under the credit agreement.

In July 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment to our credit agreement which, among other things, provided for the following: (i) the extension of a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million, which will mature on the same date as the existing term loan; (ii) a reduction in our capacity to incur incremental revolving or term loan credit facilities from $100.0 million to $25.0 million; (iii) quarterly amortization payments for the new term loan in the amount of $2.25 million; (iv) an increase in the maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio from 4.50x to 5.00x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter as indicated in the table below; (v) the addition of a tier to the top of the pricing grid if the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 4.50x; and (vi) expressly permitting the Desser Aerospace acquisition and subsequent and simultaneous business sale to Loar.

Testing Period	Maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio
June 30, 2023 through and including September 30, 2023	5.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2023 through and including June 30, 2024	4.75 to 1.00
September 30, 2024	4.50 to 1.00
December 31, 2024 through and including March 31, 2025	4.25 to 1.00
June 30, 2025	4.00 to 1.00
September 30, 2025 and thereafter	3.75 to 1.00

In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of 2,846,250 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The issuance and sale of shares pursuant to the agreement was executed in two transactions, with the first transaction closing on July 24, 2023, and the second transaction closing on July 28, 2023. We received proceeds of $129.1 million in connection with the offerings, net of issuance costs.

We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with our cash flows from operations and debt instruments under our credit agreement mentioned above, will provide sufficient liquidity for our business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital requirements associated with our business operations over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(49,771)	$	(4,206)
Net cash used in investing activities	(227,912)		(3,181)
Net cash provided by financing activities	298,034		6,959
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	20,351	$	(428)

Cash used in operating activities increased $45.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to greater use of cash for inventory purchases.

Cash used in investing activities increased $224.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $218.7 million related to acquisitions during the current year as discussed in Note (2) "Acquisitions" to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash provided by financing activities increased $291.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of $129.1 million in proceeds related to our public

-25-

underwritten offering of our common stock in July 2023 and overall higher proceeds from net borrowings of our debt during the current period due primarily to the increase in our term loan facility.

We paid cash dividends totaling $3.9 million or $0.30 per share during the nine months ending September 30, 2023. Pursuant to our credit agreement, our payment of cash dividends is subject to annual restrictions. We have paid cash dividends each year since 1973.

Other Obligations and Commitments

There have not been any material changes to our other obligations and commitments that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Inflation and Pricing

There have not been any material changes to this disclosure from those discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our credit agreement provides available borrowing to us at variable interest rates. Our interest expense is impacted by the overall global economic and interest rate environment. The inflationary environment has also resulted in central banks raising short-term interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate changes could potentially put us at risk for a material adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows. To mitigate the risks associated with future interest rate movements we have employed interest rate hedges to fix the rate on a portion of our outstanding borrowings for various periods.

For additional information related to our debt and interest rate swap agreements, see Note (5) and Note (6), respectively, to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report.

Other than as discussed above, there have been no material changes to our market risks from those discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which require us to make estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant accounts, particularly those that involve judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including revenue recognition, inventory valuation, business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets, and income taxes. If any of these estimates, assumptions or judgments prove to be incorrect, our reported results could be materially affected. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See "Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note (1) "Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussions of our significant accounting policies and estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from those disclosed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recently announced accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements, see Note (1) "Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See "Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with our acquisition of Desser Aerospace, certain areas of internal control over financial reporting changed. These areas are primarily related to integrating our corporate functions such as entity level controls and certain financial reporting controls. Certain control structure items remain in operation at Desser Aerospace, primarily related to information technology, inventory management, human resources, processing and billing of revenues, and collection of those revenues. The control structure at Desser Aerospace has been modified to appropriately oversee and incorporate these activities into the overall control structure. We will continue to evaluate the need for additional internal controls over financial reporting.

There have been no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K”) should be considered together with information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and under "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The risk factors set forth in our 2022 Form 10-K are updated by adding the following:

Circumstances associated with divestitures could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

We may periodically divest or seek to divest of certain businesses, including businesses or assets included in our Federal and Defense segment that are no longer a part of our ongoing strategic plan. A decision to divest or discontinue a business or product line may result in asset impairments, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and losses upon disposition, both of which could have adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or executing alternative exit strategies at acceptable prices and terms and in a timely manner and prospective buyers may have difficulty obtaining financing. These divestitures may require significant investment of time and resources and may disrupt our business, distract management from other responsibilities, and may involve the retention of certain current or future liabilities in order to induce a buyer to complete a divestiture or may otherwise result in losses on disposal or continued financial involvement in the divested business, including through indemnification or other arrangements, for a period of time following the transaction, which could adversely affect our financial results. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we may encounter in divesting or discontinuing a business or product line, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not purchase any of our equity securities during the period covered by this report.

Item 5.    Other Information

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, no director or "officer," as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act, of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

VSE Corporation (“VSE,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for transportation assets to commercial and government markets.

Basis of Presentation

Our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K"). In our 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. 

Due to our intent to sell our Federal and Defense segment, the consolidated financial statements present the Federal and Defense segment's results of operations as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale for all periods presented. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Once the sale is complete, our operations will be conducted under two operating segments: Aviation and Fleet.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to reflect discontinued operations classification. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.

Underwritten Public Offering

In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of up to 2,846,250 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The issuance and sale of shares pursuant to the agreement was executed in two transactions, with the first transaction closing on July 24, 2023, and the second transaction, which represented shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, closing on July 28, 2023. We received proceeds of $129.1 million in connection with the offerings, net of issuance costs. We used substantially all of the proceeds of the public offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

Precision Fuel Components, LLC

On February 1, 2023, our Aviation segment acquired Precision Fuel Components, LLC ("Precision Fuel") for a purchase price of $11.7 million. Precision Fuel provides MRO services for engine accessory and fuel systems supporting the business and general aviation ("B&GA") market. Our acquisition of Precision Fuel expanded our MRO capabilities and client base. Precision Fuel operating results are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in net tangible assets of $3.1 million, goodwill of $4.8 million, and contract and customer-related intangible asset of $3.8 million, which is being amortized over a period of five years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of Precision Fuel, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Desser Aerospace

On July 3, 2023, we closed on, and completed, the acquisition of Desser Holding Company LLC ("Desser Aerospace"), a global aftermarket solutions provider of specialty distribution and MRO services. The intent to acquire Desser Aerospace was announced on May 4, 2023. We purchased Desser Aerospace for a preliminary cash consideration of $133.8 million, which included $9.5 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (subject to post-closing adjustments). Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, we immediately sold, in a separate transaction, Desser Aerospace’s propriety solutions businesses to Loar Group Inc. (“Loar”) for a cash consideration of $31.8 million, which included $1.8 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (the “Loar Sale”).

The purchase price for Desser Aerospace was allocated on a preliminary basis, among assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, at fair value based on the best available information on the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values of the non-financial assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, were determined based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations utilizing established industry valuation techniques. We have not yet finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, working capital and income taxes. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes to the Desser Aerospace opening balance sheet. Adjustments or changes to goodwill, assets or liabilities remain possible.

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Desser Aerospace reflects the strategic advantage of expanding our specialty distribution and MRO services to new customers. The value attributed to goodwill and customer relationships is not fully deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated value attributed to the customer relationship intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis using a weighted average useful life of 8.5 years.

We incurred $1.2 million and $3.0 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the Desser Aerospace acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The operating results of Desser Aerospace were included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated revenues and operating income include $25.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, from the acquisition of Desser Aerospace. Desser Aerospace's operating income does not include the impact of acquisition-related expenses incurred by VSE Corporation.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations for Desser Aerospace and VSE Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations are as follows (in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revenue	$	231,353	$	190,710	$	672,918	$	558,250
Income from continuing operations	$	12,111	$	7,721	$	31,377	$	17,782

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented above has been prepared from historical financial statements that have been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Desser Aerospace as though it had occurred on January 1, 2022 and includes adjustments for intangible asset amortization; interest expense and debt issuance costs on long-term debt; acquisition and other transaction costs; and certain costs allocated from the former parent. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

Honeywell Fuel Control Systems

On September 27, 2023, our Aviation segment entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International Inc., for a purchase price of $105.0 million, to exclusively manufacture, sell, market, distribute, and repair certain Honeywell fuel control systems (the "Honeywell FCS Acquisition"). The purchase price of this acquisition was funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This agreement expands existing distribution and MRO capabilities supporting certain Honeywell’s fuel control systems and associated subcomponents.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in inventory of $12.0 million, property and equipment of $2.7 million, goodwill of $73.0 million, and contract and customer-related intangible asset of $17.3 million, which is being amortized over a period of 10 years. We have not yet obtained all the information required to complete the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition. We are in the process of finalizing our valuation and the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes in the fair values and an adjustment to goodwill.

We incurred $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the Honeywell FCS Acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Discontinued Operations

In May 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Federal and Defense (“FDS”) business to an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP.

(a) In July 2023, we executed a fixed interest rate swap that hedges the variability in interest payments on $100 million of floating rate debt. We have designated, and will account for, this fixed interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.

We are party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our floating rate debt. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we reclassified $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. We estimate that we will reclassify $4.5 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following September 30, 2023.

Earnings Per Share

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. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards. There were no antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

We may have certain claims in the normal course of business, including legal proceedings, against us and against other parties. In our opinion, the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Further, from time-to-time, government agencies audit or investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable contractual and regulatory requirements. Government audits or investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes, audits and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

(a) Non-Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets held in our deferred supplemental compensation plan consist of equity funds with fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and amounts included in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying value of our outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to our existing debt arrangements.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.

Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 27.9% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 25.2% and 26.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of prior year primarily due to 2023 transaction costs incurred in connection with the Desser Aerospace acquisition that was disallowed for tax purposes. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of prior year was attributable to higher pre-tax book income reported in the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K"). In our 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. 

Due to our intent to sell our Federal and Defense segment, the consolidated financial statements present the Federal and Defense segment's results of operations as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale for all periods presented. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Once the sale is complete, our operations will be conducted under two operating segments: Aviation and Fleet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.

Underwritten Public Offering

In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of up to 2,846,250 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The issuance and sale of shares pursuant to the agreement was executed in two transactions, with the first transaction closing on July 24, 2023, and the second transaction, which represented shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, closing on July 28, 2023. We received proceeds of $129.1 million in connection with the offerings, net of issuance costs. We used substantially all of the proceeds of the public offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

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. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards.
