Vectrus Announces First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

First quarter results tracking to full year guidance
Phase-in operations on track to contribute later in 2015
Core business continues to stabilize
Reiterates 2015 annual guidance

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 6, 2015 — Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced first quarter 2015 results which included revenue of $260.9 million, operating income of $9.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.46. For the quarter ended March 27, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $27.2 million and free cash flow1 use was $27.7 million.
"We are reporting financial results that are tracking to our annual guidance for 2015," said Ken Hunzeker, chief executive officer and president of Vectrus. "As we begin our first full year as an independent company, we remain optimistic about our backlog, our phase-in progress on the new business wins, and a stabilizing core business to deliver on our 2015 expectations."
Phase-in Progress
New business phase-ins are progressing as expected. The Turkey-Spain Base Maintenance contract team completed phase-in activities and assumed full-operating capability on March 28. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Enterprise Information Management and Information Technology Support Services contract team continues to successfully meet the milestone schedule and is expected to assume full operating capability by the end of July. The Thule Base Maintenance contract phase-in is proceeding as directed by the customer while the company waits for a decision

by the Court of Federal Claims regarding the award protests. Vectrus still expects new contract wins to contribute approximately $150 million in revenue in 2015.
Core Business Stabilizing
"We saw our non-Afghanistan business, which we refer to as "the core business," stabilize year over year at $217.3 million for the first quarter," said Hunzeker. "Afghanistan revenue in the first quarter was $43.6 million and in line with our expectations. We anticipate growth in our core business, primarily attributed to the new contract wins, which we expect will offset the revenue decline in Afghanistan contract activity."

First Quarter 2015 Results
Revenue $260.9 million
Operating income $9.4 million; adjusted operating income1 $9.5 million
Operating margin 3.6 percent; adjusted operating margin1 3.6 percent
Diluted earnings per share $0.46; adjusted diluted earnings per share1 $0.47

First quarter 2015 revenue of $260.9 million declined $43.0 million or 14.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, first quarter 2015 revenue1 of $260.9 million declined $35.7 million or 12.0 percent compared to the first quarter of 2014.
Programs based in Afghanistan contributed $43.6 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2015, down an anticipated $37.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis the declines were partially offset by an increase in our core business revenue, which we believe signifies stabilization of the core business.
Operating income was $9.4 million or 3.6 percent operating margin in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $17.6 million or 5.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014.
"On an adjusted basis, operating income1 was $9.5 million or 3.6 percent operating margin in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $18.8 million or 6.3 percent in 2014," said Matt Klein, chief financial officer at Vectrus. "We remain committed to improving operating margin over time."
First quarter 2015 diluted earnings per share were $0.46 compared to $1.07 in 2014 and adjusted diluted earnings per share1 were $0.47 compared to $1.15 in 2014.
For the quarter ended March 27, 2015, cash used in operating activities was $27.2 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $56.5 million during the same period in 2014. Free cash flow1 used was $27.7 million for the quarter ended March 27, 2015, compared to $57.0 million used during the same period in 2014.
"While the first quarter resulted in the use of cash consistent with normal seasonal patterns, we witnessed significant improvement year over year," said Klein.
For the quarter ending March 27, 2015, book-to-bill2 ratio was 0.6x. The Company ended the quarter with total backlog of $2.6 billion, which excludes the Oct. 2014 award of the Thule Base Maintenance contract. Funded backlog at March 27, 2015, was $696.8 million.

Footnotes:
1 See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
2 Adjusted book-to-bill is the amount of adjusted funded orders divided by adjusted revenue for the period.

4 Full-year 2015 free cash flow guidance is GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less estimated capital expenditures of $2M.
5 See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Full-year 2015 adjusted diluted EPS guidance reflects the impact, net of tax, of separation costs incurred to become a stand-alone public company in the amount of $320K or $.03 per share. The total number of estimated weighted average diluted common shares outstanding is 10.8M at Dec. 31, 2015.

Exhibit 99.1 

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The primary financial performance measures Vectrus uses to manage its business and monitor results of operations are revenue trends and operating income trends. In addition, we consider adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow, to be useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives.
Adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow, however, are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow are provided below.
“Adjusted revenue” is defined as revenue adjusted to exclude the TARS program revenue which has been retained by Exelis.
“Adjusted operating income” is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude income taxes, interest expense, TARS program operating income, and separation costs incurred to become a public company.
“Adjusted operating margin” is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude income taxes, interest expense, TARS program operating income, and separation costs incurred to become a public company, divided by adjusted revenue.
"Adjusted net income" is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude TARS program operating income and separation costs incurred to become a public company, net of taxes.
"Adjusted diluted earnings per share" is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude TARS program operating income and separation costs incurred to become a public company, net of taxes divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
“Free cash flow” is defined as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
