Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE CONTACT: Mike Smith, CFA 719-637-5773 michael.smith@vectrus.com Vectrus Announces Strong 2018 Results; On Track to Achieve Five-Year Growth Plan of $2.5 Billion in Revenue and 7% EBITDA Margin • Fourth quarter revenue $330 million, up 11%; Diluted EPS $0.89 • Full-year revenue $1,279 million, up 15%; Diluted EPS $3.10 • Contract bookings of $1.4 billion including approximately $350 million of new business in 2018 • Diversified client and geographic portfolio through growth; Achieved revenue growth of 50% with the Air Force and 60% in U.S. and Europe • Strong cash performance and low leverage ratio provides flexibility for continued strategic execution COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., February 26, 2019 — Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced fourth quarter and full-year 2018 financial results. For the fourth quarter, revenue was $330 million, operating income was $12.6 million (3.8% margin), GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.89 and adjusted diluted EPS1 were $0.73. For the full year, revenue was $1,279 million, operating income was $48.3 million (3.8% margin), diluted EPS were $3.10 and adjusted diluted EPS1 were $2.94. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2018 was $40 million. “We reported strong fourth quarter and full-year 2018 financial results,” said Chuck Prow, president and chief executive officer of Vectrus. “In the fourth quarter, we achieved 11% revenue growth year- over-year as we phased in approximately $350 million of new contract awards won in 2018. Additionally, our 2018 full-year revenue increased 15%, which represents our strongest year-over- year growth rate since becoming a public company. We also had strong cash flow in the fourth quarter, which resulted in approximately $40 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the year.” “During 2018, we positioned Vectrus as a higher value, growth-oriented platform through several new wins, significantly expanding our client and geographic footprint,” Prow explained. “We continued to advance our Air Force growth campaign and in 2018 grew our revenue with this important client by almost 50%. We are proud of our progress serving the Air Force client and notably our recent $84 million contract award to provide support services at Sheppard Air Force Base, which builds on our Maxwell and Keesler contract wins and makes Vectrus the largest full and open base operations support services provider to the Air Education and Training Command.” 1
Exhibit 99.1 “We plan to replicate our Air Force success through additional growth campaigns,” said Prow. “We are seeing early progress with our recent U.S. Navy client campaign and in the fourth quarter were awarded a new $60 million two-year task order to provide support services at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Importantly, this base operations support services task order builds on our existing IT and engineering work with the Navy, which includes providing a full range of network support services to the U.S. Navy's afloat force and Electromagnetic Effects Engineering. We look forward to further expanding our relationship with this important client.” “The ability to execute our margin improvement story is becoming a reality as most of our new business awards in 2018 were fixed-price,” Prow explained. “With approximately 60% of our 2018 new awards being fixed price in nature, we have the ability, through technology insertion to apply Vectrus solutions to generate better client outcomes while improving margins.” “Our teams continue to execute well, with high levels of client satisfaction,” said Prow. “Notably, we recently received our K-BOSSS contractor performance assessment report from our Army client and I’m proud to announce that we once again received the highest possible ratings across all evaluated areas. This is a highly complex program and I’d like to thank our client for their continued confidence in our ability to support this critical mission.” "On January 17, 2019, we were notified by the U.S. government of its intent to exercise an option to extend the K-BOSSS contract until March 28, 2020 with an additional six-month option period through September 28, 2020," Prow explained. “Vectrus is the largest services provider to the DoD in the CENTCOM area of responsibility with incumbency on a major portion of the CENTCOM workload expected under the LOGCAP V construct,” said Prow. “Importantly, during 2018 we continued to solidify our position in CENTCOM through additional new contract wins in Kuwait, Jordan, and United Arab Emirates. We believe that Vectrus is uniquely positioned to win the LOGCAP V CENTCOM area of responsibility and would provide significant continuity and mission assurance to the DoD.” Full-Year 2018 Results • Revenue $1,279 million, $164.5 million or 15% increase year-over-year • Operating income $48.3 million • Operating margin 3.8% • Diluted EPS $3.10 • Net cash provided by operating activities $40 million Full-year 2018 revenue of $1,279 million increased $164.5 million or 15% compared to 2017. The increased revenue was attributable mainly to activity in our U.S. programs of $103.2 million (consisting of a $112.3 million increase related to our acquisition of SENTEL), $45.1 million from our European programs and $16.2 million from our Middle East programs. 2
Exhibit 99.1 “Our full-year 2018 financial results show significant growth compared to 2017 and are demonstrative of our strategy to grow Vectrus into a higher value, growth-oriented platform," said Matt Klein, chief financial officer of Vectrus. "We reached several public company milestones in 2018 with record revenue, operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS1 (excluding one-time tax benefits) and operating cash flow. We made great progress in 2018 and remain on track for the achievement of our five-year financial plans." Operating income was $48.3 million or 3.8% operating margin for the full-year 2018, compared to $41.2 million or 3.7% in 2017. Full-year 2018 diluted EPS were $3.10 compared to $5.31 in 2017. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for 2018 and 2017 were $2.94 and $2.17. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $40.1 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to 2017. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 63 days in 2018. The Company ended 2018 with total debt of $75.0 million, which was down $4.0 million from $79.0 million at the end of 2017. The Company also ended the year with cash of $66.1 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (total leverage ratio) of 1.25x to 1.00x. “Our strong financial performance, strategic execution, and capital allocation activities in 2018 significantly enhanced our positioning,” said Klein. “During the year we successfully won approximately $350 million of new business, completed the acquisition and integration of SENTEL, and reduced our overall leverage profile.” The Company ended 2018 with total backlog of $3.0 billion and funded backlog of $688.6 million. 3
Exhibit 99.1 2019 Guidance 2019 guidance details include: “We expect annual revenue to be in the range of $1,300 million to $1,330 million with a mid- point of $1,315 million which assumes the full-year extension of K-BOSSS, our largest contract as a percentage of revenue," said Klein. "Full-year operating margin is expected at 3.8% to 4.2% and net income is expected to be in the range of $35.3 million to $40.4 million. We expect to see diluted EPS in the range of $3.07 to $3.51 per share and net cash provided by operating activities is expected at $40.0 million to $46.0 million. Our 2019 guidance assumes interest expense of $4.7 million, capital expenditures of approximately $8.5 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $4.1 million, mandatory debt payments of $4.5 million, a tax rate of 21 percent and weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 11.5 million at December 31, 2019.” $ millions, except for operating margin, EBITDA margin, and per share amounts 2019 Guidance 2019 Mid Revenue $ 1,300 to $ 1,330 $ 1,315 Operating Margin 3.8% to 4.2% 4.0% EBITDA Margin 4.1% to 4.5% 4.3% Net Income $ 35.3 to $ 40.4 $ 37.9 Diluted EPS 2 $ 3.07 to $ 3.51 $ 3.29 Cash Provided by Operating Activities $ 40.0 to $ 46.0 $ 43.0 The Company notes that forward-looking statements of future performance made in this release, including 2019 guidance, the potential for winning LOGCAP V CENTCOM award and the five-year growth plan are based upon current expectations and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested here, including those factors set forth in the Safe Harbor Statement below.

Exhibit 99.1 Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures The primary financial performance measures we use to manage our business and monitor results of operations are revenue trends and operating income trends. In addition, we consider adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and EBITDA margin 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 net income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and EBITDA margin, 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 net income and diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these items are provided below. "Adjusted net income" is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, other income; significant charges or credits that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations and unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non- operating tax settlements or adjustments, such as revaluation of our deferred tax liability as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and net settlement of uncertain tax positions. "Adjusted diluted EPS" is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. "EBITDA" is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization. "EBITDA margin" is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. 11
