ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Leveraging a history of more than 75 years, Vectrus, Inc. (Vectrus, the Company, our company, we, us or our) is a leading provider of global service solutions, including facility and base operations, supply chain and logistics services, information technology mission support, and engineering and digital integration services primarily to the United States (U.S.) government in 206 locations and 27 countries and territories across four continents in both stable and unstable political and economic environments. We operate our business based on three core values of Integrity, Respect and Responsibility. A primary strength of our company is our global footprint and ability to recruit U.S. and international personnel, as well as navigate the logistical, legal, and other challenges of operating in multiple challenging overseas locations. We have a proven history of deploying resources rapidly and with precision to support the success of our customers' missions. Our strategy is to advance our competitive profile and further differentiate Vectrus as an innovator in the converged infrastructure market.

Our primary customer is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), with a large concentration in the U.S. Army. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we had total revenue of $1.4 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, substantially all of which was derived from U.S. government customers. We operate as one segment.

We employ approximately 9,200 people and engage approximately 6,000 additional subcontract personnel around the world. The management team has an average of 35 years of experience in the military, defense industry, and a wide range of other U.S. government agencies. Our management team has experience winning contracts, driving premier operating efficiencies, and managing all aspects of the demanding compliance culture required of a U.S. government contractor in a global environment. We are also a leading employer of veterans with more than 42% of our employees with a military background, and we have been recognized numerous times in recent years by veteran-focused organizations as a military-friendly employer.

Vectrus was incorporated as an Indiana corporation in February 2014. In September 2014, Exelis Inc. (Exelis) completed the spin-off (the Spin-off) of Vectrus. Prior to the Spin-off, we were a subsidiary of Exelis that constituted Exelis' Mission Systems business, which was part of Exelis' Information and Technical Services segment. As a result of the Spin-off, Vectrus became an independent, publicly traded company. References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to Exelis or "Former Parent" refer to Exelis Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than Vectrus). Subsequent to the spin-off, Exelis was acquired by Harris Corporation in May 2015.

Acquisitions

On December 31, 2020, Vectrus acquired Zenetex, LLC (Zenetex) and Higgins, Hermansen, Banikas, LLC (HHB). Zenetex is a leading provider of technical and strategic solutions focused on enabling mission readiness, performance, and enhanced protection for defense and national security clients globally and HHB delivers intelligence community solutions. The purchase prices of $118.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, were funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In July 2019, Vectrus acquired Advantor Systems Corporation and Advantor Systems, LLC (collectively, Advantor) from Infrasafe Holding, Inc. and Infrasafe, LLC (collectively, Infrasafe). Advantor is a leading provider of integrated electronic security systems to the U.S. government and is the only vertically integrated and accredited Command, Control & Communications (C3) networked security technology platform in the industry. The purchase price of $45.1 million was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In January 2018, Vectrus acquired SENTEL Corporation, a U.S. government contractor with expertise in logistics and supply chain management, engineering and advanced information technology solutions for spectrum management systems, sensor networks, border and perimeter surveillance systems and other detection systems, and multidisciplinary mission support for various intelligence community clients. The purchase price of $36.9 million was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our Business Strategy

Our goal is to be an innovator and leader in the convergence of our clients' physical and digital infrastructure and supply chains.

We seek to drive growth through the following three strategies: Enhance the Foundation, Expand the Portfolio, and Add More Value. Key components of these strategies, and our progress in executing these strategies, include:

•Enhance the Foundation. We strive to enhance our business by strengthening our methods and approaches to deliver higher value, high-impact services to our clients, while growing in, and around, our strong foundation in our four core capabilities: facility and base operations; supply chain and logistics services; information technology mission support; and engineering and digital integration services. One of the components associated with this strategy is the development and execution of growth campaigns to increase our organic revenue generation with both existing and new customers.

In 2020, we continued to advance our U.S. Navy campaign by winning a new eight-year, including options, $210 million firm-fixed-price contract to provide base operations support to the Isa Air Base in Bahrain. Additionally, we were awarded an eight-year, $45 million firm-fixed-price contract to provide base operations support at the Naval Support Facility in Deveselu, Romania. We also further strengthened our foundation by winning a $196 million, five-year recompete contract to continue base operations support services at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The initial two-year award of this outcome-based contract in late 2018 was an important strategic win that started our Navy facility and base operations growth campaign, which has resulted in more than a half a billion dollars of prime contract wins. Our total U.S. Navy revenue increased 22% in 2020 compared to 2019.

We also made significant progress strengthening our foundation outside of the U.S. Navy by successfully winning the recompete of our second largest contract in the Vectrus portfolio. In December 2020, Vectrus was awarded a five-year $882.5 million contract to continue Operations, Maintenance and Defense of Army Communications in Southwest Asia and Central Asia (OMDAC-SWACA). Vectrus has supported this work since 1995, which includes maintaining security and reliability of the Army’s 24/7 connected networks and operating the Army’s largest cyber center and network footprint across the Middle East.

Finally, in recognition of our rapid response supply chain and logistics capabilities, in early 2020 we won a task order to provide supply-chain-as-a-service capability to procure COVID-19 personal protective equipment for the Army’s Research, Development, Acquisition, and Production program. While small in value, this demonstrates our client’s recognition of Vectrus having the ability to offer an immediate solution for something as urgent and critical as the safety and health of those conducting ongoing national security missions during an emergency.

•Expand the Portfolio. We are focused on creating a higher-value, technology-enabled and differentiated platform by strengthening our Information Technology (IT) competencies and fusing the physical and digital aspects of our clients' facility and logistics missions. We package our capabilities by leveraging our strong foundation in facility and base operations; supply chain and logistics services; information technology mission support; and engineering and digital integration services. In addition, we seek to partner with highly innovative third parties. We expect the result will be a more technology-enabled, differentiated, higher value portfolio.

In furtherance of this strategy, in 2020, Vectrus was awarded a position on a “Best in Class” General Services Administration, Multiple Award Contract, indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, known as OASIS. This vehicle provides integrated professional services for all government customers worldwide. This award demonstrates our increased capability to function as a prime contractor in large scale IT as well as our traditional markets. This IDIQ contract allows access to a funding stream that is new to us and affords additional avenues of organic growth.

Our organic and inorganic capability advancement drive a technology-enabled, differentiated portfolio that enables us to compete and win more effectively. In 2020, we were awarded a U.S. Navy contract to provide concepts and develop prototype software to integrate disparate onboard sensor to support signal discovery and integration. Additionally, through an award under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA), we will provide software and engineering to support sensor data integration and visualization of the U.S. investments in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense equipment to the joint services. We were also awarded a strategically important five-year fixed price IDIQ to provide intrusion detection system supplies, hardware, and services at Edwards Air Force base.

•Add More Value. The convergence of our clients' physical and digital infrastructure and supply chains represents an opportunity to improve the outcomes of our clients' missions while creating a higher value, growth-oriented platform. Our long-term strategy seeks to shape our future and purpose by building our capabilities to offer innovative, integrated solutions to customers. This approach includes creating more predictive, agile and responsive infrastructures and supply chains as well as standardizing, improving, and automating our core operational capabilities to create a differentiated, growth-oriented business.

To accelerate our strategy, Vectrus acquired both Zenetex and HHB in 2020. These acquisitions provide additional capabilities in logistics and supply chain; security; facility engineering, design, and planning; advanced engineering; IT; and international readiness solutions. Additionally, we anticipate these capabilities will expand Vectrus' overall addressable market and content at client installations, facilities, and bases. Vectrus is expected to have increased access to Intelligence Community clients. Finally, we believe the services and capabilities of both acquisitions will allow us to bring design thinking principles to our technology offerings, putting customers in the center of building the technology they use. Not only does this speed the adoption of new technology, but it also improves the quality of the data generated as a result.

In 2020, Vectrus was awarded a prime contract for the Navy Smart Warehouse Prototype 5G Applications. This contract relates to the DoD’s 5G experimentation and testing at five U.S. military test sites. This award is

strategically significant for several reasons. First, while we have received other awards for our technology capabilities in the past, this award is a testament to our clients’ migration toward the converged infrastructure market. Second, it represents the largest full-scale 5G test for dual-use applications in the world. Finally, it puts us into an additional competitive arena focused on technological solutions that are now being applied within traditional facility and base operations and IT services. Vectrus will provide industry-leading inventory management, network security, robotic material moving, and environmental sensing capabilities at Naval Base San Diego. This award is the result of our deliberate and strategic investments to expand our capabilities to help our clients move from a traditional way of operating their facilities, supply chains and networks, to a more instrumented and converged approach. We also grew our Engineering and Digital Integration portfolio and our Advantor capabilities were embedded into several opportunities to faster support customers, positioning us to be a leader in the converged market.

In 2020, we derived results from our enterprise wide performance improvement initiative, Enterprise Vectrus which is streamlining, modernizing, and automating our core program and support processes. We have hardened our delivery excellence, including program phase-in; evolving our global talent chain; reinforcing supply chain as a core competency; completing the implementation of our modernized enterprise IT platform; and quickening the pace of technology insertions into our current program base and as standalone offerings. Enterprise Vectrus process improvement, efficiencies, and repeatable performance had a positive impact on our client outcomes and growth in 2020.

Competition

Our competition varies depending on our service offerings. In Facility and Base Operations, our primary competitors are PAE Facilities Management (PAE), AMENTUM, KBR Inc., and Fluor Corporation (Government group). Our principal competitors in Information Technology Mission Support include divisions of Leidos Holdings, Inc., Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Peraton, and General Dynamics Technologies Segment. In Engineering and Digital Integration, there are less direct competitors given the current lifecycle stage of this market. There are typically fewer competitors in the overseas market for each of our services capabilities.

The U.S. government has implemented policies designed to protect small businesses and under-represented minority contractors. From time to time, certain U.S. government work in the U.S. has been restricted to small businesses, including Alaska native companies. We participate with these small businesses as a subcontractor for select opportunities. In addition, we rely on our teaming relationships with other prime contractors and subcontractors for large procurements or other opportunities where we believe the combination of services will help us win and perform the contract. Our competitors may consolidate or establish teaming or other relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to address customers’ needs.

Competitive bids for the work that Vectrus pursues are based on technical qualifications and corporate experience in performing contracts of similar size and scope and are highly price sensitive. While not every contract is procured via selection of the lowest priced bidder, customers are sensitive to cost based on their budget allocations. Acquisition cycles are long (generally 12 to 24 months), and contracts are typically multi-year contracts that include an initial period of one-year or less with annual one-year (or less) option periods for the remaining contract period.

Some U.S. government customers have shown a strong preference for multiple award IDIQ contracts. These contracts offer awards to a pool of contractors, followed by competition within the pool for individual programs via task orders under each IDIQ over the period of performance. The period of performance under IDIQ contracts follows a traditional three-to-ten-year performance cycle. The governing IDIQ contracts often have multi-billion-dollar ceiling values.

Our company closely monitors costs to foster highly competitive pricing and uses an in-house business development model both to manage the cost of revenue and capture opportunities for future bids.

Seasonality

We do not consider any material portion of our business to be seasonal. However, various factors can affect the distribution of our revenue between accounting periods, including the timing of awards, product deliveries, customer acceptance of products and services, contract phase-in durations, contract completions, and the availability of customer funding. Weather and natural phenomena can also temporarily affect the performance of our services.

The U.S. government's fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. U.S. government agencies may award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the time frame leading up to the end of its fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds, which may favorably impact our third fiscal quarter.

Regulatory Environment

The U.S. government markets in which we serve are highly regulated. When working with U.S. agencies and entities, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to the creation, administration and performance of contracts. Among other things, these laws and regulations:

•Require compliance with government standards for contract administration, accounting and management internal control systems;

•Define allowable and unallowable costs and otherwise govern our right to reimbursement under various flexibly priced U.S. government contracts;

•Require certification and disclosure of all cost and pricing data in connection with certain contract negotiations;

•Require us not to compete for, or to divest ourselves of, work if an organizational conflict of interest exists related to such work that cannot be appropriately mitigated; and

•Restrict the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.

U.S. government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. government, agency-specific regulations that implement or supplement FAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and other applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various rules regarding procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, allowable costs, contract performance, contract termination and adjustment, audits, and IT system security and privacy controls. In addition, as government contractors, we are subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. government

agencies, such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These agencies review our performance, cost structure, incurred costs, forward pricing rates and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards under our contracts. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of and our compliance with our internal control systems and policies, including our accounting, purchasing, government property, estimating, and related government business systems.

The U.S. government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new or revised contract rules and regulations at any time. To help ensure compliance with these complex laws and regulations, all of our employees are required to complete ethics and other compliance training relevant to their respective positions.

We are subject to other U.S. government laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the False Claims Act. When working overseas, we must comply not only with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, but also with foreign government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may differ from U.S. laws, including regulations relating to import-export control, foreign tax considerations, data privacy, foreign labor and environmental law, and anti-corruption.

Contracts

U.S. government programs generally are implemented by the award of individual contracts to a prime contractor, which may utilize one or more subcontractors. Our company usually is a prime contractor on long-term contracts that are of a finite duration of generally between three and ten years. We were the prime contractor on contracts representing 95%, 95% and 94% of our revenue for the three years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. In other contracts, we team with the prime contractor as a subcontractor. The U.S. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend across several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as the U.S. Congress approves further appropriations. Prior to the expiration of a contract, if the customer requires further services of the type provided by the contract, it typically begins a competitive rebidding or recompete process. The contracts and subcontracts under a program generally are subject to termination for convenience or adjustment if appropriations for such programs are not available or if they change. The U.S. government is required to equitably adjust a contract for additions to or reductions in scope or other changes, including price, which it directs.

Generally, the sales price elements for our contracts are cost-plus, cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price. We commonly have elements of cost-plus, cost-reimbursable and firm-fixed-price contracts on a single contract.

On a cost-plus type contract, we are paid our allowable incurred costs plus a profit, which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement, up to funding levels predetermined by our customers. On cost-plus type contracts, we do not bear the risks of unexpected cost overruns, provided that we do not incur costs that exceed the predetermined funded amounts. Most of our cost-plus contracts also contain a firm-fixed-price element. Cost-plus type contracts with award and incentive fee provisions are our primary variable contract fee arrangement. Award fees provide for a fee based on actual performance relative to contractually specified performance criteria. Incentive fees provide for a fee based on the relationship between total allowable and target cost.

On most of our contracts, a cost-reimbursable element captures consumable materials required for the program. Typically, these costs do not bear fee.

On a time-and-materials type contract, we are reimbursed for labor at fixed hourly rates and generally reimbursed separately for allowable materials, costs and expenses at cost. For this contract type, we bear the risk that our labor costs and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract.

A firm-fixed-price type contract typically offers higher profit margin potential and a greater level of risk than a cost plus type contract. On a firm-fixed-price type contract, we agree to perform the contractual statement of work for a predetermined contract price. Although a firm-fixed-price type contract generally permits us to retain profits if the total actual contract costs are less than the estimated contract costs, we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to sustain losses on the contract. Although the overall scope of work required under the contract may not change, profit may be adjusted as experience is gained and as efficiencies are realized or costs are incurred.

The percentage of our total revenue generated from each contract type for the periods presented was as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
Contract type	2020		2019		2018
Cost-plus and cost-reimbursable ¹	71	%	76	%	78	%
Firm-fixed-price	29	%	24	%	22	%
Total revenue	100	%	100	%	100	%

Backlog

For a discussion of our backlog, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Backlog” in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Environmental, Health and Safety

We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances, the cleanup of contaminated sites, and the maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, contractors, and visitors. Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are subject to change, the nature of which is inherently unpredictable, and the timing of potential changes is uncertain. Environmental, health and safety requirements are significant factors affecting all of our operations, and we have established a comprehensive program to address compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements.

Human Capital Resources

At December 31, 2020, we employed approximately 9,200 full-time employees, a 2,000 employee increase from December 31, 2019 primarily due to our acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB. We also employed approximately 6,000 subcontract workers, unchanged from 2019 year-end. At December 31, 2020, approximately 24% of our employees were represented under 26 collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. In the ordinary course of business, a number of collective bargaining agreements will be subject to renegotiation in a given year. We do not expect that any of the contracts subject to renegotiation in 2021 (individually or as a whole) present a significant risk to our business. We believe that relations with our employees and union representatives are positive.

We believe our employees are among our most important resources and are critical to our continued success. We focus significant attention on attracting and retaining talented and experienced individuals to manage and support our operations, and our management team routinely reviews employee turnover rates at various levels of the organization. Management also reviews employee engagement and satisfaction surveys to monitor employee morale and receive feedback on a variety of issues. We pay our employees competitively and offer a broad range of company-paid benefits, which we believe are competitive with others in our industry.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our vision to innovate and lead core capabilities unites the development of internal strategies to equip leaders to manage diversity by maintaining accountability, measuring results, refining approaches, and institutionalizing a culture of inclusion. We are a leading employer of veterans with more than 42% of our employees voluntarily reporting a military background, and we have been recognized numerous times in recent years by veteran-focused organizations as a military-friendly employer,

Our 2020 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D, E & I) Executive Council initiatives align closely with Vectrus’ strategic priorities. The Executive Council is led by our Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and is co-chaired by two Senior Vice Presidents who report to the Vectrus Chief Executive Officer. Given the national discussion on race and equity, the Executive Council encourages open dialogue, fosters inclusion, and employee engagement through Global Townhalls and D, E & I Leadership Conferences in 2020.

In setting the stage for 2021, we established five Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to enhance our ability to innovate and grow in a changing multicultural global environment. As the support system within Vectrus, our ERGs have three focus areas to foster awareness, respect, and Inclusion:

•Business Development and Outreach

•Employee engagement and retention and professional development

•Recruitment

Annually, in the first month of the last quarter, ERGs evaluate their performance to goals in each focus area and report these results to the Executive Council. The Executive Council reports annually to the Board of Directors overall diversity distribution for employees and suppliers.

Learning and Development

We continue to emphasize employee development and training and provide a range of development programs and opportunities, skills, and resources needed to have a successful career with Vectrus. Our on-line Vectrus University gives employees access to more than 1,600 virtual courses that address such topics as leadership/management, information technology skills, along with the standard required compliance courses of a Defense contractor. We are committed to identifying and developing the talents of our next generation leaders by providing knowledge to help early-in-career employees develop the skills to move up within the organization, providing a training program to keep our supervisors current on best practices and ensure they focus on the success of their people and encouraging nominations into our programs that consist of additional training and mentoring opportunities.

We have a robust talent and succession planning process and have established a specialized program to support the development of our talent pipeline for critical roles. On a quarterly basis, we conduct a review of succession plans and the individual development plans of our emerging talent. These sessions focus on high potential talent, diverse talent, and the succession for our most critical roles, and are led by our CEO, Chief Human Resource Officer, and Senior Vice Presidents.

Employee Health and Safety

During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented public health and safety protocols including new infectious disease procedures to protect our employees, our subcontractors and our customers. These protocols include complying with social distancing and other health and safety standards as required by federal, state and local government agencies, taking into consideration guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and other public health authorities in the countries we operate in. We conducted weekly calls to educate and keep the work force informed on how to deploy the infectious disease response plan at the local level. We provided a continual effort to share an environment of best practices and lessons learned including modified work presence. We modified the way we conduct many aspects of our business to reduce the number of in-person interactions. For example, we significantly expanded the use of virtual interactions in all aspects of our business, including customer facing activities. Many of our administrative and operational functions during this time have required modification as well, including most of our workforce working remotely.

As a service provider we continued to have a large employee population that were required to be on site daily. To maintain a healthy workforce, our focus included protect the employee, continue service delivery, and keep the business running. This was done by successfully deploying a Pandemic Plan early in the effort and keeping it current with continual updates and guidance. We continue to monitor the safety of our employees and keep universal precautions in the forefront.

For a detailed discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our human capital resources, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ethics and Compliance

All employees must adhere to the Vectrus Code of Conduct that sets standards for appropriate behavior and includes required annual training on preventing, identifying, reporting and stopping any type of unlawful discrimination, unethical behaviors, and unacceptable conduct. With employees living and working on four continents and in 206 locations, Vectrus requires each employee to complete the Vectrus Code of Conduct training annually.

Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) and Other Country National (OCN) Compliance

Vectrus employs processes and procedures that focus on CTIP compliance and the overall candidate experience for both subcontract and direct hire OCN staffing. Key audit areas are staffing office safety, recruiting process compliance, CTIP awareness notifications and training, candidate document collection procedures and candidate interviews.

Vectrus conducts an extensive and robust vetting of potential subcontractors to identify those who have proven CTIP-compliance and recruiting processes in place. We seek only those companies that will fully protect human rights.

Vectrus personnel conduct inspections and audits of the subcontractors regional recruiting centers following award of a contract. During these inspections, we confirm their employees have been trained in CTIP compliance and that their recruiting processes comply with all local and US government CTIP policies and regulations, as well as personnel countries of original and HN labor laws. Vectrus personnel interview potential candidates about their recruiting experience with our subcontractors and review employment documents for compliance, if available.

Over the life of our contracts, Vectrus Contracts/Subcontracting personnel, with assistance from Task Order Managers, Site Managers, and CTIP Teams (location-specific), monitor our contracted subcontractors to validate they are maintaining compliance with CTIP and all other provisions in their contracts with us.

Once employees have been hired, Vectrus provides program-specific, CTIP, quality, safety, and task-specific training. This training reinforces our commitment to providing safe and anonymous options for reporting suspected CTIP violations.

Vectrus maintains an active CTIP Awareness campaign, at each program location, to reinforce our protection of human rights. This helps empower all employees to confidently report suspected violations without fear of retaliation. Vectrus quickly investigates CTIP violation complaints that, if validated, are reported immediately to our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer and the appropriate USG and program authorities.

We have zero tolerance for CTIP violations. Vectrus rapidly requests corrective actions (CA) be put in place by subcontractors or employees for validated CTIP violations. If CTIP violations warrant, a subcontractors or employee unable to execute or comply with approved CAs will be removed swiftly from the contract and prevented from conducting future business with Vectrus.

Over the life of the contract, Vectrus conducts regularly scheduled audits and inspections of employee housing and transportation, interviews employees hired through our subcontractors, and reviews employment contracts and related

documentation to further validate our subcontractor’s compliance with FAR 52.222-50 and both country of origin and HN labor laws.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the following risks, which we believe are the principal risks that we face and of which we are currently aware, and all of the other information in this report. The risks described below relate to our business, governmental regulations, financial conditions and markets, the Spin-off, and our securities.

Should any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a few large contracts, and the loss or material reduction of any of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

Aggregate revenue from our two largest contracts amounted to approximately $0.7 billion, or 48.3% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, our two largest contracts were the K-BOSSS and the OMDAC-SWACA contracts. The K-BOSSS contract is exercised through September 28, 2021. The K-BOSSS contract was re-competed as a CENTCOM task order under the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program Five (LOGCAP V) contract vehicle, which was awarded on April 12, 2019. Each basic IDIQ contract ordering period is an initial five-year ordering period with options for five additional one-year ordering periods. Vectrus is one of the four award recipients of the basic IDIQ contract and received task orders in the INDOPACOM Setting the Theater Task Order and associated Performance Task Order and the CENTCOM Setting the Theater Task Order and associated Performance Task Order (the LOGCAP V Award). The OMDAC-SWACA contract was re-competed in 2020, and on December 29, 2020, the U.S. Army announced that we were re-awarded this contract. Performance on the newly awarded contract began on March 1, 2021. The new award is an approximately $882.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with an estimated completion date of December 26, 2025.

The K-BOSSS and OMDAC-SWACA contracts each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the transition from K-BOSSS to LOGCAP V, and the re-compete award of the OMDAC-SWACA contract will continue to have a significant impact on our revenue. Our revenue, results of operations and cash flows are highly dependent on these existing contracts and the continued transition to LOGCAP V. The loss or material reduction of any of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations and cash flows. See "Significant Contracts" in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may not be successful in winning new contracts or recompeting our existing contracts, which could have an adverse impact on our business and prospects.

Our contracts with the federal government are typically awarded through a rigorous competitive bidding process. This competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

•We may bid on programs for which the work activities, deliverables, and timelines are vague or for which the solicitation incompletely describes the actual work, which may result in inaccurate pricing assumptions;

•We may incur substantial costs and spend a significant amount of managerial time and effort preparing bids and proposals; and

•We may realize the lost opportunity cost of not bidding on and winning other contracts that we may have pursued otherwise.

If we are unable to win a particular new contract, we may be prevented from providing the customer the services that are purchased under that contract for a number of years.

In addition, we face rigorous competition and pricing pressures for any additional contract awards from the U.S. government. Some of our existing contracts must be recompeted when their original period of performance ends. Recompetes represent opportunities for competitors to take market share away from us. Recompetes also represent opportunities for our customers to obtain more favorable terms and discounts from us. We may be required to qualify or continue to qualify under the various multiple award task order contract criteria. Therefore, it may be more difficult for us to win future task orders. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards, or successfully recompete our existing contracts, our business and prospects will be adversely affected, and our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.

Competition within our markets may reduce our revenue and market share.

Our business is highly competitive, and we compete with larger companies that have greater name recognition, greater financial resources, and larger technical staffs, as well as companies with a competitive advantage due to a small business designation. Within our industry, companies have engaged in merger and acquisition activity, with a goal to increase their competitive position. Our competitors may provide our customers with different or greater capabilities or better contract terms than we can provide, including past contract experience, geographic presence, price, and the availability of qualified

professional personnel. In addition, our competitors may consolidate or establish teaming or other relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to address customers’ needs.

Even if we are qualified to work on a government contract, we may not be awarded the contract because of existing government policies designed to assist small businesses and other designated classifications of business, such as under-represented minority contractors. Accordingly, larger or new competitors, alliances among competitors, or competitors designated as small business contractors may emerge that may adversely affect our ability to compete. If we are unable to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may experience declines in revenue and market share, which could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contracts, our performance, and our ability to control costs.

We generate revenue under various types of contracts, which include cost-plus, cost-reimbursable (including non-fee-bearing costs) and firm-fixed-price. Our earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of revenue derived from each type of contract, the nature of services provided, as well as the achievement of performance objectives and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined. Cost-reimbursable contracts generally have lower profitability than firm-fixed-price contracts. Our profitability is adversely affected when we incur contract costs that we cannot bill to our customers. Profitability also may be adversely affected during the start of a new contract due to initial spending necessary to successfully complete phase-in requirements. For example, as we begin the phase-in process for LOGCAP V, we are required to outlay certain amounts of capital to be able to perform under the contract, which amounts we may or may not recoup from the U.S. government. To varying degrees, each of our contract types involves some risk that we could underestimate the costs and resources necessary to fulfill the contract. While firm-fixed-price contracts allow us to benefit from cost savings, these contracts also increase our exposure to the risk of cost overruns. Revenue derived from firm-fixed-price contracts represented approximately 29% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. When making proposals on firm-fixed-price contracts, we rely heavily on our estimates of costs and timing for completing the associated projects, as well as assumptions regarding technical issues. In each case, our failure to accurately estimate costs or the resources needed to perform our contracts or to effectively manage and control our costs during the performance of our work could result in reduced profits or in losses. If we incur costs in excess of initial estimates or funding on a contract, we generally seek reimbursement for those costs through requests for equitable adjustments (“REA’s”) or claims to the Armed Services Board of Contracting Appeals (“ASBCA”), and we have made assumptions on what we expect to recover in our financial statements, but we may not be able to negotiate full recovery for these costs. In addition, pursuit of these REAs and claims can require significant time and incur additional costs, including legal fees and expenses, and there is no guarantee that such actions would ultimately be successful.

More generally, any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of our contracts, including costs and delays caused by contractual disputes or other factors outside of our control, such as performance failures of our subcontractors, natural disasters or other force majeure events, could make our contracts less profitable than expected or unprofitable. The U.S. and other countries also may experience increases in inflation. A significant increase in inflation rates could adversely impact the profitability of these contracts.

In addition, our failure to perform to customer expectations or contract requirements may result in reduced fees or claims made against us by our customers and may affect our financial performance in that period. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control costs, our operating results could be adversely affected, particularly if we are unable to justify an increase in contract value to our customers. Cost overruns or the failure to perform on existing programs also may adversely affect our ability to retain existing programs and win future contract awards.

U.S. government contracts are only partially funded, and the termination, expiration or non-renewal of our existing U.S. government contracts may adversely affect our business.

The U.S. government services marketplace is characterized by contracts of shorter duration as compared to large production and systems integration programs. U.S. government services contracts generally are of a finite duration of five years and usually range between three and ten years. The U.S. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend across several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as the U.S. Congress approves further appropriations. The termination or reduction of funding for a U.S. government program would result in a loss of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program, which could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, the termination of a program or the failure to commit additional funds to a program that already has been started could result in lost revenue and increase our overall costs of doing business.

The U.S. government may terminate any of our government contracts, in whole or in part, at any time at its convenience with little or no notice. The U.S. government may also terminate our contracts for default if we fail to meet our obligations under a contract. If any of our contracts were terminated for convenience, we generally would be entitled to receive payment for work completed and allowable termination or cancellation costs. If any of our government contracts were

terminated for default, generally the customer would pay us only for the work that has been accepted; moreover, the customer can require us to pay the difference between the original contract price and the cost to re-procure the contract deliverables, net of the work accepted from the original contract. In addition, the U.S. government can also hold us liable for damages resulting from the default.

The expiration, non-renewal or termination of any of our government contracts, whether for convenience or default, would adversely affect our current programs and reduce our revenue, earnings and cash flows. A termination for default may also negatively affect our reputation, performance ratings and our ability to win new contracts, particularly for contracts covering the same or similar types of services.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, particularly COVID-19, which may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020. COVID-19 has negatively affected, and continues to impact, the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption in the global financial markets. The outbreak had an adverse impact on our operating results and our business for the fiscal year ended 2020. However, the extent of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our programs in the expected time-frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, and the development and wide-spread distribution of a vaccine, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. Further, if significant portions of our workforce are unable to continue to work effectively because of illness, quarantine, government actions, facility closures, travel restrictions, disruptions related to increased teleworking policies, social distancing or other restrictions related to COVID-19, our operations, efficiency and effectiveness may be impacted in the future.

It is also possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could continue to delay or limit the ability of the U.S. government and other customers to perform on its contractual obligations, including making timely payments to us. Essentially all of our revenue is derived from services ultimately sold to the U.S. government, and we cannot predict the effect COVID-19 may have on our customers’ spending and mission priorities. The COVID-19 pandemic could delay the announcement of new contract awards and/or the timing of start-up or transition of our major contracts, including, but not limited to, LOGCAP V. Any prolonged interruptions in payment or transition activities on our large contracts may disrupt our cash flows, and these uncertainties could adversely affect both our operations and financial position.

In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we instituted a maximum telework policy wherever possible and eliminated all non-essential travel to protect the health and safety of our employees. We will continue to evaluate and extend these policies as necessary to continue to protect our employees. The effects on our long-term operations as a result of a significant portion of our workforce working remotely for a prolonged period are unknown. Further, prolonged telework by a large portion of our workforce presents potential cybersecurity and data security risks. In addition, as certain restrictions begin to lift worldwide, employees at many of our project sites and headquarters have begun to return to work in certain circumstances under new social distancing guidelines. We continue to monitor the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control guidelines, as well as country, state and local guidance, and we have made significant efforts to mitigate the risks associated with returning to work. We also continue to exercise preventative measures to reduce the spread of the virus, but we cannot provide any assurances as to whether such measures will be effective or sufficient. Further, the impact of COVID-19 could worsen depending on the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak or resurgences of COVID-19 infection in affected regions where we operate after they have begun to experience improvement. Any exposures to COVID-19 by our employees could affect our ability to operate effectively.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to significantly modify our business practices (including limiting employee and contractor presence at our work locations), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and communities. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and our ability to perform critical functions could be adversely impacted.

As the effects of COVID-19 are difficult to predict, we continue to work with our stakeholders to address this global pandemic. We continuously assess any possible implications on our business and customers to mitigate adverse consequences. Due to the many uncertainties and the rapidly changing business environment, the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows in the future. The ongoing pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

We work in international locations where there are high security risks, which could result in harm to our employees and contractors or the incurrence of substantial costs.

Some of our services, including using subcontractors, are performed in high-risk locations, including but not limited to, Iraq, Afghanistan, certain parts of Africa and the Middle East, where the country or surrounding area may have unstable governments, or in areas of military conflict, or hostile and unstable environments, including war zones, or at military installations. These operations increase the risk of an incident resulting in damage or destruction to our work or living sites or resulting in injury or loss of life to our employees, subcontractors or other third parties. We maintain insurance to mitigate risk and potential liabilities related to our international operations, but our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover these claims and liabilities and we may be forced to bear substantial costs arising from those claims. The impact of these factors is difficult to predict, but any one or more of them could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are dependent on the U.S. government and, if our reputation or relationship with the U.S. government was harmed, our revenue and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

Essentially all of our 2020, 2019, and 2018 revenue was derived from services ultimately sold to the U.S. government, primarily the DoD, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. government. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated approximately 69% of our total revenue from the U.S. Army. We expect to continue to derive all or most of our revenue from work performed under U.S. government contracts. Our reputation and relationship with the U.S. government, and in particular with the branches and agencies of the DoD, are key factors in maintaining and growing this revenue. Negative press reports or publicity, which could pertain to employee or subcontractor misconduct, conflicts of interest, termination of a contract or task order, poor contract performance, deficiencies in services, reports or other deliverables, information security breaches, business system disapprovals, or other aspects of our business, regardless of accuracy, could harm our reputation, particularly with these branches and agencies. If our reputation is negatively affected, we lose our ability to conduct business in a foreign country (e.g., loss of business license), we lose a required security clearance, or we are suspended or debarred from contracting with government agencies or any branch of the DoD for any reason, the amount of our business with the U.S. government and other customers could decrease and our future revenue and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

We are subject to legal and regulatory compliance risks associated with operating internationally.

Our U.S. government contracts operating internationally represented approximately 76% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. We are subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, business compliance, tax and anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We also employ international personnel and engage with foreign subcontractors and labor brokers, which requires compliance with numerous foreign laws and regulations related to labor, benefits, taxes, insurance and reporting requirements, among others, such as the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Failure by us or our subcontractors or vendors to comply with these laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, suspension or debarment from government contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our business operations are also subject to additional risks associated with conducting business internationally, including, without limitation:

•Political instability in foreign countries;

•Terrorist activity by various groups in the areas in which we operate;

•Imposition of inconsistent foreign laws, regulations or policies or changes in or interpretations of such laws, regulations or policies;

•Currency exchange controls, fluctuations of currency and foreign exchange rates, and currency revaluations;

•Conducting business in places where laws, business practices and customs are unfamiliar or unknown; and

•Imposition of limitations on or increases in withholding and other taxes on payments by foreign operations.

Our failure to adapt to or mitigate these risks could affect our ability to conduct our business internationally and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our business could be adversely affected by bid protests.

We may experience additional costs and delays if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding. Any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract. It can take a significant amount of time to resolve contract protests and, in the interim, the contracting U.S. federal agency may suspend our performance under the contract pending the outcome of the protest. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of protests.

In addition, we may protest the contract awards of our competitors when we believe it is prudent to do so to protect our rights and interest in the competition. This process requires the time, effort and attention of our management and employees and incurs additional costs.

Misconduct of our employees, subcontractors, agents, prime contractors or business partners could cause us to lose customers and could have a significant adverse impact on our business and reputation, adversely affecting our ability to obtain new contracts.

Misconduct, fraud or other improper activities by our employees, subcontractors, agents, prime contractors or business partners could have a material adverse impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct could include the failure to comply with federal, state, local or foreign government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the protection of classified or personal information, legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts, laws and regulations relating to environmental matters, bribery of foreign government officials, lobbying or similar activities, boycotts, antitrust and any other applicable laws or regulations. Misconduct involving data security lapses resulting in the compromise of personal information or the improper use of our customer’s sensitive or classified information could result in remediation costs, regulatory sanctions against us and serious harm to our reputation. Although we have implemented policies, procedures and controls and training that are designed to prevent and detect these activities, these precautions may not prevent all misconduct and as a result, we could face unknown risks or losses. Misconduct by any of our employees, subcontractors, agents, prime contractors or business partners or our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could subject us to fines and penalties, loss of security clearance, loss of current and future customer contracts and suspension or debarment from contracting with federal, state or local government agencies, any of which would adversely affect our business, our reputation and our future financial results.

Uncertainties in the U.S. government defense budget, changes in spending or budgetary priorities or delays in contract awards may significantly and adversely affect our future revenue and limit our growth prospects.

Our contracts and revenue primarily depend upon the U.S. DoD budget, which is subject to the congressional budget authorization and appropriations process and is difficult to predict. The U.S. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a September 30 fiscal year basis, even though contract periods of performance may extend over many years. Consequently, at the beginning of a major program, the contract is usually partially funded, and additional monies are committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations are made by Congress in future fiscal years. DoD budgets are a function of a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in U.S. procurement policies, budget considerations, current and future economic conditions, presidential administration and congressional priorities, government shutdowns, changing national security and defense requirements, geopolitical developments and actual fiscal year congressional appropriations for defense budgets. Any of these factors could result in a significant redirection of current and future DoD budgets and impact our future operations and cash flows. Such factors may have direct bearing on our new business opportunities as well as on whether the U.S. government will exercise its options for services under existing contracts, thus affecting the timing and volume of our business. Although the Bipartisan Budget Act reduces budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration, there remain risks associated with fiscal year (FY) 2021 and future appropriations. If annual appropriations bills are not enacted, the U.S. government may operate under a continuing resolution (CR), restricting new contract or program starts and additional government shutdowns, which might involve all government agencies, including the DoD, could arise. Future CR’s and government shutdowns may lead to delays in procurement of services due to lack of funding, and those delays may adversely affect our revenue, results of operations and cash flow.

The U.S. government also conducts periodic reviews of U.S. defense strategies and priorities, which may shift DoD budgetary priorities, reduce DoD spending or delay contract or task order awards for defense related programs. A reduction in U.S. government defense spending, changing defense spending priorities or delays in contract or task order awards could potentially reduce our future revenue, earnings and cash flow and have a material impact on our business.

Our profitability or performance could suffer if we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel or if we are unable to maintain adequate staffing levels for our contracts.

Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance and rate of growth is highly dependent upon the continued services of our personnel and executive officers, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified technical, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Recruitment of qualified personnel is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. The loss of key employees, our inability to attract new qualified employees or adequately train employees or the delay in hiring key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, our profitability is affected by how efficiently we utilize our workforce, including our ability to transition employees from completed contracts to new assignments, to hire and assimilate new employees; to hire personnel in or timely deploy expatriates to foreign countries; to manage attrition and a subcontractor workforce; and to devote time and resources to training, business development, professional development and other non-chargeable activities.

Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, and our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work stoppage.

Approximately 2,200 of our employees, or approximately 24% of our employee base at December 31, 2020, are unionized. We have 26 collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. We cannot predict how stable our union relationships will be or whether we will be able to successfully negotiate successor agreements without impacting our financial condition. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages by our union employees could negatively impact our ability to provide services to our customers on a timely basis, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Our earnings and margins depend, in part, on subcontractor performance.

We rely on third-party subcontractors to perform some of the services that we provide to our customers. Disruptions or performance problems caused by our subcontractors could have an adverse effect on our ability as a prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor to meet our commitments to customers.

We may have disputes with our subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, proper invoicing, cost reasonableness, allocability, allowability, the hiring of each other’s personnel, adjustments to the scope of the subcontractor’s work, or the subcontractor’s failure to comply with applicable law or regulations. Uncertain economic conditions heighten the risk of financial stress of our subcontractors, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their contractual requirements to us. If any of our subcontractors fail to timely meet their contractual obligations or have regulatory compliance or other problems, our ability to fulfill our obligations may be jeopardized. Significant losses could arise in future periods and subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in our termination for default.

Our business depends upon obtaining and maintaining required facility security clearance and individual security clearances.

Many of our federal government contracts require our employees to maintain various levels of security clearances complying with U.S. government requirements. Obtaining and maintaining security clearances for employees involves a lengthy process and it can be difficult to identify, recruit and retain employees who already hold security clearances. If our employees are unable to obtain or retain security clearances or if our employees who hold security clearances terminate employment with us, our ability to perform the work under the contract may be negatively affected, and the customer whose work requires cleared employees could terminate the contract or decide not to renew it upon its expiration. In addition, many of the contracts on which we bid require us to maintain a facility security clearance. To the extent we are not able to maintain a facility security clearance, we may not be able to bid on or win new contracts, or effectively re-bid on expiring contracts.

We rely on our information and communications systems in our operations. Security breaches and other disruptions could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

As a U.S. defense contractor, various privacy and security laws require us to protect sensitive and confidential information from disclosure both for us and others. However, we may face certain security threats, including cybersecurity threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to proprietary or classified information, and threats to physical security. In connection with the information technology and network communications services that we provide to our customers, we also may encounter cybersecurity threats at customer sites that we operate. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased.

Cybersecurity threats are significant and evolving and include, among others, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in mission critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. In addition to security threats, we are also subject to other systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events.

Our systems are decentralized, which presents various risks, including the risk that we may be slower or less able to identify or react to problems affecting a business function than we would be in a more centralized environment. In addition, “company-wide” business initiatives, such as the integration of information technology systems or the formation of a technology system impacting different parts of our business, are often more challenging and costly to implement, and carry a higher risk of failure, than they would be in a more centralized environment. Depending on the nature of the initiative in question, such failure could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although preventative measures may help mitigate the damage from such occurrences, the damage and disruption to our business resulting from any of these events may be significant. If our insurance and other risk mitigation mechanisms are not sufficient to recover the costs, we could experience an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We have recently updated or replaced, and continue to update and replace, many of our systems and network infrastructure to protect our computing environment, to stay current on vendor supported products, to improve the effectiveness of our systems, strengthen cybersecurity requirements and improve the efficiency of our systems. The implementation of new systems and information technology could adversely impact our operations by imposing substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and risks of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems. In addition, our systems implementations may not result in productivity improvements at the levels anticipated. Systems implementation disruption and any other information technology disruption, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Many of the systems and networks that we develop, install and maintain for our customers involve managing and protecting personal information and information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions. While we have programs designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cybersecurity threats or other events, we may experience loss of revenue, remediation costs or face claims for damages or contract termination. Any such event could prevent us from having access to or being eligible for further work on such systems and networks and cause serious harm to our reputation. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all of the damages that we may incur and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

We are subject to certain data privacy regulations, which expose us to certain risks if we do not comply with these requirements.

As a U.S. entity operating in multiple European countries, we are also subject to regulatory compliance requirements under the EU GDPR that require our business to comply with security and privacy controls to protect personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. A failure to comply with these requirements could negatively impact our business and financial condition. In addition, similar regulations regarding data protection and privacy rights are emerging in the U.S. and have the potential to negatively impact our business and financial condition.

As a U.S. government contractor, we are also subject to regulatory compliance requirements under the DFARS and other federal regulations that require our IT systems to comply with the security and privacy controls in National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171 (NIST 800-171). DCAA requires a contractor to have an approved business system (e.g. Accounting System) and maintenance of that system, prior to the processing and payment of any bills from such contractor. We may also be responsible if our subcontractors do not comply with these requirements. A failure to comply with these requirements could negatively impact our business and financial condition.

We may conduct a portion of our operations through joint ventures, exposing us to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control.

We may conduct a portion of our operations through joint ventures where control may be shared with unaffiliated third parties. In addition, as with any joint venture arrangement, differences in views among the joint venture participants may result in delayed decisions or in failures to agree on major issues. We also cannot control the actions of our joint venture partners, including any failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, nonperformance, default or bankruptcy of our joint venture partners. If our partners do not meet their contractual obligations, the joint venture may be unable to adequately perform and deliver its contracted services, requiring us to make additional investments or perform additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of services to the customer. We could be liable for both our obligations and those of our partners, which may result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses on the project. Additionally, these factors could have a material adverse effect on the business operations of the joint venture and, in turn, our business operations and reputation.

Further, operating through joint ventures in which we have a minority interest could result in us having limited control over many decisions made with respect to projects and internal controls relating to projects. These joint ventures may not be subject to the same requirements regarding internal controls as we are. As a result, internal control issues may arise, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to potential adjustments to costs previously allocated by our Former Parent to our business prior to the Spin-off.

related to Former Parent costs. In September 2020, we filed an appeal of this COFD to the ASBCA and sought a deferral of payment. In addition, we filed a motion to consolidate both appeals. The ASBCA granted our motion to consolidate. We believe we are fully indemnified under our Distribution Agreement with our Former Parent and have notified our Former Parent of our appeal of the U.S. government's decision in this matter. While we believe the amount of indemnity required is insignificant, there is no guarantee that we will be successful, and the failure to recover these costs could have a negative impact on financial results.

We may make or enter into acquisitions and other investments that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.

We may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions and other investments, such as our acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB in December 2020. These transactions require significant investment of time and resources and may disrupt our business and distract our management from other responsibilities. Even if successful, these transactions could affect our operating results for a number of reasons, including the amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, acquired operations that are not yet profitable or the payment of additional consideration under earn-out arrangements if an acquisition performs better than expected. If we engage in such transactions, we may incur significant transaction and integration costs and have difficulty integrating personnel, operations, products or technologies or otherwise realizing synergies or other benefits from the transactions. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, loss of key customers, loss of key vendors, decreases in revenue and increases in operating costs. In addition, we may assume material liabilities in an acquisition, including liabilities that are unknown as of the time of the acquisition. Such transactions may dilute our earnings per share, disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses, perform poorly, subject us to liabilities, and increase our risk of litigation, all of which could harm our business.

Business disruptions caused by natural disasters and other crises could adversely affect our profitability and our overall financial position.

We have operations located in regions of the U.S. and internationally that may be exposed to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, flooding, wildfires or earthquakes. Our business could also be disrupted by pandemics and other national or international crises (including, for example, COVID-19). Although preventative measures may help mitigate the damage from such occurrences, the damage and disruption to our business resulting from any of these events may be significant. If our insurance and other risk mitigation mechanisms are not sufficient to recover all costs, including loss of revenue from sales to customers, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We depend on our teaming arrangements and relationships with other contractors. If we are not able to maintain these relationships, or if these parties fail to satisfy their obligations to us or the customer, our revenue, profitability and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

We rely on our teaming relationships and other arrangements with other prime contractors or subcontractors in order to submit bids for large procurements or other opportunities where we believe the combination of services provided by us and the other companies will help us to win and perform the contract. Our future revenue and growth prospects could be adversely affected if other contractors eliminate or reduce their contract relationships with us, or if the U.S. government terminates or reduces these other contractors' programs, does not award them new contracts or refuses to pay under a contract.

We may be required to contribute additional funds to meet any present or future underfunded benefit obligations associated with multiemployer pension plans in which we participate.

A multiemployer pension plan is typically established under a collective bargaining agreement with a union to represent workers of various unrelated companies. Certain collective bargaining agreements require us to contribute to their various multiemployer pension plans. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we contributed $3.0 million to multiemployer pension plans. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), an employer who contributes to a multiemployer pension plan, absent an applicable exemption or other mitigating circumstance, may also be liable, upon termination or withdrawal from the plan, for its proportionate share of the multiemployer pension plan’s unfunded vested benefit. If we terminate or withdraw from a multiemployer plan, absent an applicable exemption or other mitigating circumstance, we could be required to contribute a significant amount of cash to fund the multiemployer plan’s unfunded vested benefit, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

Legal disputes could require us to pay potentially large damage awards and could be costly to defend, which would adversely affect our cash balances and profitability, and could damage our reputation.

We are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims as described under Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings," in this report. We are also subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of other litigation or claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us. Any claims or litigation could be costly to defend, and even if we are successful or if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future. In addition, any securities litigation that we could encounter as a publicly traded company could cost substantial amounts and divert management’s attention and resources from our business and

could require us to make substantial payments to settle those proceedings or satisfy any judgments that may be reached against us. Litigation and other claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

RISKS RELATED TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND LAWS

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to a number of procurement laws and regulations and could be adversely affected by changes in regulations or our failure to comply with these regulations.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and must comply with many significant procurement regulations and other requirements. These regulations and requirements, although customary in government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. If any such regulations or procurement requirements change, our costs of complying with them could increase and therefore reduce our margins. Some significant statutes and regulations that affect us include:

•The FAR and department or agency-specific regulations that implement or supplement the FAR, such as the DoD’s DFARS, which regulate the formation, administration and performance of U.S. government contracts;

•The Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost and pricing data in connection with certain contract negotiations;

•The Procurement Integrity Act, which regulates access to competitor bid and proposal information and government source selection information, and our ability to provide compensation to certain former government officials;

•The Civil False Claims Act, which provides for substantial civil penalties, including claims for treble damages, for violations, including for submission of a false or fraudulent claim to the U.S. government for payment or approval;

•The Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Act, which ensures that government contractors and others are fully trained to combat trafficking in persons pursuant to the National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 22; and

•The U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under certain cost-based U.S. government contracts.

If we are found to have violated these or other laws or regulations, or are found not to have acted responsibly as defined by them, we may be subject to reductions of the value of contracts; contract modifications or terminations; the assessment of penalties and fines, compensatory damages or treble damages; or suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our business is subject to audits, reviews, cost adjustments, and investigations by the U.S. government, which, if resolved unfavorably to us, could adversely affect our profitability, cash position or growth prospects.

U.S. government agencies, including the DCAA, the DCMA and others, routinely audit and review our performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of our compliance with government standards for our business systems, including our accounting, purchasing, government property, estimating, and related business systems.

Recently, these audits and reviews have become more rigorous and the standards to which we are held are being more strictly interpreted and applied, increasing the likelihood of an audit or review resulting in an adverse outcome. Although customary in government contracts, these audits and reviews increase our performance and compliance costs.

Government audits or other reviews could result in adjustments to contract costs, the disallowance of or adjustment to costs allocated to certain contracts, mandatory customer refunds, or decreased billings to our U.S. government customers until the deficiencies identified in the audits or reviews are corrected and our corrections are accepted by DCMA. Such adjustments could be applied retroactively, which could result in significant customer refunds. A determination of non-compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards could result in the U.S. government imposing penalties and sanctions against us, including withholding of payments, suspension of payments and increased government scrutiny that could delay or adversely affect our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts. Non-compliance by us could result in our being placed on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the General Services Administration, and we could become ineligible to receive certain contracts, subcontracts and other benefits from the U.S. government or to perform work under a government contract or subcontract until the basis for the listing has been appropriately addressed, which would materially adversely affect our ability to do business.

In addition, if a review or investigation identifies improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties or administrative sanctions, including the termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, the triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental

agencies. Civil penalties and sanctions are not uncommon in our industry. If we incur a material penalty or administrative sanction, our reputation, business, results of operations, and future business could be adversely affected.

Our contract sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. Failure to maintain safe work sites and equipment or effectively respond to the impacts of COVID-19 to our workplaces could result in environmental disasters, employee deaths or injuries, reduced profitability, the loss of projects or customers and possible exposure to litigation.

Our project sites often put our employees and others in close proximity with mechanized equipment, moving vehicles, and highly regulated materials. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced additional risks to our worksites, which require additional policies and procedures. Although we have safety procedures in place, if we fail to implement them, or if the procedures we implement are ineffective, we may suffer the loss of or injury to our employees, as well as expose ourselves to possible litigation. As a result, our failure to maintain adequate safety standards and equipment, as well as the nature of the environment in which we conduct business, could result in the loss of projects or customers, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Environmental, health and safety issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing: air emissions; discharges to water; the management, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes, petroleum, and other regulated substances; the investigation and cleanup of contaminated property; and the maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, contractors, and visitors. These laws and their implementing regulations can impose certain operational controls for minimization of pollution, permitting, training, recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting requirements or other operational or siting constraints on our business, result in costs to remediate releases of regulated substances into the environment, result in facility shutdowns to address violations, or require costs to remediate sites to which we sent regulated substances for disposal. Violations of these laws and regulations can cause significant delays and add additional costs to a project. We have incurred and will continue to incur operating, maintenance and other expenditures as a result of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Any new developments such as the adoption of new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could result in material costs and liabilities that we currently do not anticipate and could increase our expenditures and also materially adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations.

The DoD continues to modify its business practices, which could have a material effect on its overall procurement processes and adversely impact our current programs and potential new awards.

The DoD continues to pursue various initiatives designed to gain efficiencies and to focus and enhance business practices. These initiatives and resulting changes, such as increased usage of firm-fixed-price contracts, where we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to sustain losses, multiple award IDIQ contracts and small and disadvantaged business set-aside contracts, are having an impact on the contracting environment in which we do business. Any of these changes could impact our ability to obtain new contracts or renew our existing contracts when those contracts are recompeted. These initiatives, such as IDIQ contracts, continue to evolve, and the full impact to our business remains uncertain and subject to the way the DoD implements them. As a result of these initiatives, our profit margins on future contracts may be reduced and may require us to make sustained efforts to reduce costs in order to realize revenue and profits under our contracts. If we are not successful in reducing the amount of costs we incur, our profitability on our contracts will be negatively impacted. Any new contracting requirements or procurement methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement and could adversely affect our future revenue, profitability and prospects.

Our business may be negatively impacted if we are unable to adequately protect intellectual property rights.

Our success is dependent, in part, on our ability to utilize technology to differentiate our services from our competitors. We rely on a combination of patents, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements, as well as copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, to protect our intellectual property rights and interests. However, these methods only provide a limited amount of protection and may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights and interests. Our employees, contractors and joint venture partners are subject to confidentiality obligations, but this protection may be inadequate to deter or prevent misappropriation of our confidential information and/or infringement of our intellectual property rights. Further, we may be unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or otherwise take appropriate steps to enforce our rights. Failure to adequately protect, maintain or enforce our intellectual property rights may adversely limit our competitive position.

We cannot provide assurances that others will not independently develop technology substantially similar to our protected technology or that we can successfully preserve our intellectual property rights in the future. Our intellectual property rights could be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, misappropriated or infringed upon. Any infringement, misappropriation or related claims, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming, divert technical and management personnel, are expensive to resolve, and the outcome is unpredictable. As a result of any such dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, pay damages, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, cease utilizing certain products or services or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us. If we are

unable to prevail in the litigation or retain or obtain sufficient rights or develop non-infringing intellectual property or otherwise alter our business practices on a timely or cost-efficient basis, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

In addition, our clients or other third parties may also provide us with their technology and intellectual property. There is a risk that we may not sufficiently protect our or their information from improper use or dissemination and, as a result, could be subject to claims and litigation and resulting liabilities, loss of contracts or other consequences that could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We also hold licenses from third parties which may be utilized in our business operations. If we are no longer able to license such technology on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.

Government withholding regulations could adversely affect our operating performance.

A DFARS rule allows withholding of a percentage of payments when a contractor’s business system has one or more significant deficiencies. The DFARS rule applies to CAS-covered contracts that have the DFARS clause in the contract terms and conditions. Contracting officers may withhold 5% of contract payments for one or more significant deficiencies in any single contractor business system or up to 10% of contract payments for significant deficiencies in multiple contractor business systems. A significant deficiency as defined by the DoD is a “shortcoming in the system that materially affects the ability of officials of the DoD to rely upon information produced by the system that is needed for management purposes.” If we have significant deficiencies and contract payments are withheld, our revenue and financial position may be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MARKETS

We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs, and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.

Revenue from our contracts is recognized primarily using the input method (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress towards completion. This methodology requires estimates of total contract revenue, total costs at completion, and fees earned on the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; and the performance of subcontractors. This estimation process, particularly due to the nature of the services being performed, is complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained, and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimates is recognized as additional information becomes known. Changes in the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates could result in adjustments that may adversely affect our future financial results. Beginning in 2018, our revenue recognition was impacted by our adoption of a comprehensive new revenue recognition accounting standard. Refer to Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 4, "Revenue" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Our level of indebtedness and our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $179.0 million of aggregate debt outstanding, which consists of a term loan and a revolving credit facility (See Note 10, "Debt," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). We also have the ability to incur up to $152.6 million of additional debt under our revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit. There were two letters of credit totaling $2.4 million at December 31, 2020. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, as well as any future debt that we may incur, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance and to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt or equity on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive, if we can obtain it at all. If we raise equity through the issuance of preferred stock, the terms of the preferred stock may give the holders rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, particularly in the event of liquidation. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

Our credit agreement contains covenants with which we must comply or risk default.

Our credit agreement contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our capital

stock; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into speculative hedging arrangements; and enter into certain restrictive agreements.

These restrictions could impair our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interests. In addition, the credit agreement also requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios, including those relating to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and consolidated indebtedness. Our ability to comply with these ratios and covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. A breach of the credit agreement or our inability to comply with or renegotiate the required financial ratios or covenants included therein could result in a default under the credit agreement and cause acceleration of the outstanding debt.

Our variable rate indebtedness may expose us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt costs to increase significantly.

Our term loan and any revolving facility borrowings we may incur have variable rates of interest, which expose us to interest rate risks and to the risk of rising interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $64.0 million outstanding under our floating-rate term loan, $115.0 million outstanding under our floating-rate revolving facility, and the ability to incur up to $152.6 million of additional floating-rate debt under our revolving facility. Although we have hedged a portion of our exposure to interest rate risk under the term loan through an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $48.1 million at December 31, 2020, if interest rates increase in the future, then the interest expense on the variable rate debt could increase materially.

Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional U.S. and foreign tax liabilities could affect our profitability.

We are subject to various taxes, including but not limited to income, gross receipts and payroll withholding taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision or benefit for taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Furthermore, changes in domestic or foreign tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and enforcement, could result in higher or lower taxes assessed or changes in the taxability of certain revenue or the deductibility of certain expenses, thereby affecting our tax expense and profitability. See Note 13, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. In addition, we regularly are under audit by tax authorities. The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals. Additionally, changes in the geographic mix of our revenue could also impact our tax liabilities and affect our overall tax expense and profitability.

We may not realize as revenue the full amounts reflected in our backlog, which could adversely affect our future revenue and growth.

As of December 31, 2020, our total backlog was $5.1 billion, which included $843.4 million in funded backlog. We may not realize the full amount of our backlog as revenue, particularly unfunded backlog and future services where the customer has an option to decline our continued services under a contract. In addition, there can be no assurance that our backlog will result in actual revenue in any particular period. Our receipt of revenue, and the timing and amount of revenue under contracts included in our backlog are subject to various contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including congressional appropriations. In particular, delays in the completion of the U.S. government’s budgeting process and the use of continuing resolutions could adversely affect our ability to recognize revenue timely under the contracts included in our backlog. Furthermore, the actual receipt of revenue from contracts included in our backlog may never occur or may be delayed because:

•a program schedule could change, or the program could be canceled; a contract’s funding or scope could be reduced, modified, delayed, or terminated early, including as a result of a lack of appropriated funds or as a result of cost cutting initiatives and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending or the automatic federal defense spending cuts required by sequestration;

•in the case of funded backlog, the period of performance for the contract has expired; or

•in the case of unfunded backlog, funding may not be available; or, in the case of priced options, our clients may not exercise their options.

Goodwill represents a significant portion of our assets and any impairment of these assets could negatively impact our results of operations.

At December 31, 2020, our goodwill was approximately $339.7 million, which represented approximately 40% of our total assets. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit used in the goodwill impairment test using an income approach and market approach, and as a result, the fair value measurements depend on revenue growth rates, future operating margin assumptions, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market

conditions, and identification of appropriate market comparable data. Because of the significance of our goodwill, any future impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our insurance may be insufficient to protect us from claims or losses.

We maintain insurance coverage with third-party insurers as part of our overall risk management strategy and because some of our contracts require us to maintain specific insurance coverage limits. However, not every risk or liability is or can be protected by insurance, and, for those risks we insure, the limits of coverage we purchase or that are reasonably obtainable in the market may not be sufficient to cover all actual losses or liabilities incurred. If any of our third-party insurers fail, cancel our coverage or otherwise are unable to provide us with adequate insurance coverage, then our overall risk exposure and our operational expenses would increase, and the management of our business operations would be disrupted. Our insurance may be insufficient to protect us from significant warranty and other liability claims or losses. Moreover, there is a risk that commercially available liability insurance will not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost, if at all. If liability claims or losses exceed our current or available insurance coverage, our business and prospects may be harmed. We are also subject to the requirements of the Defense Base Act (DBA), which generally requires insurance coverage to be provided to persons employed at U.S. military bases outside of the U.S. Failure to obtain DBA insurance may result in fines or other sanctions, including the loss of a particular contract.

The effects of changes in worldwide economic and capital markets conditions may significantly affect our ability to maintain liquidity or procure capital.

Our business may be adversely affected by factors in the U.S. and other countries that are beyond our control, such as disruptions in financial markets or downturns in economic activity in specific countries or regions, or in the various industries in which our company operates; social, political or labor conditions in specific countries or regions; or adverse changes in the availability and cost of capital, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rates, or regulations in the jurisdictions in which our company operates. If we lose access to our revolving credit facility, or if we are required to raise additional capital, we may be unable to do so in the current credit and stock market environment, or we may be able to do so only on unfavorable terms.

Adverse changes to financial conditions also could jeopardize certain counterparty obligations, including those of our insurers and financial institutions and other third parties.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile due to a number of factors, including the volatility of the stock market in general and uncertainty related to major contract awards, such as our LOGCAP V Award. The trading price of our stock varied from a low of $28.90 to a high of $59.24 in 2020. Because of this volatility, investors in our stock may experience a decline in the value of their investment or may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the price paid for the shares.

Any future offerings of debt, which would be senior to our common stock upon liquidation, or other equity securities may materially and adversely affect us or our shareholders, including the per share trading price of our common stock.

Vectrus has a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective in January 2020 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $250 million of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, warrants, rights and debt securities. In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt, including senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities or preferred equity securities and such offerings may be convertible or exchangeable for other securities and additional classes or series of preferred stock. Upon liquidation, holders of debt securities or shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will be entitled to receive our available assets prior to distribution to the holders of our common stock. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock and may result in dilution to owners of our common stock. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments, if issued, that could limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of future offerings. As a result, our shareholders bear the risk that our future offerings could reduce the per share trading price of our common stock and dilute their interest in us.

We do not currently plan to pay dividends on our common stock, and our indebtedness could limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in the future.

We do not currently plan to pay dividends on our common stock. The declaration of any future cash dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, financial covenants and other contractual restrictions and to the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may

consider such matters as general business conditions, industry practice, our financial condition and performance, our future prospects, our cash needs and capital investment plans, income tax consequences, applicable law and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Additionally, our indebtedness could have important consequences for holders of our common stock. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt payment obligations, then our ability to pay dividends, if so determined by the Board of Directors, will be impaired. In addition, the terms of the agreements governing our current debt limit the payment of dividends and debt that we may incur in the future may also limit the payment of dividends.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Indiana law could delay or prevent a change in control.

Certain provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated by-laws may delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a shareholder may consider favorable. For example, the amended and restated articles of incorporation and the amended and restated by-laws, among other things, provide for a classified board and do not permit shareholders to convene special meetings or to remove our directors other than for cause. In addition, the amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price. Indiana law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between any holder of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock and us as well as certain restrictions on the voting rights of “control shares” of an “issuing public corporation.”

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We have 206 locations in 27 countries and territories on four continents. Our contract performance typically occurs on the government customer’s facility. Our significant locations are the corporate headquarters office located at 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado and an operations office located at 2800 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia. These properties are used by our sole operating segment. Our Colorado Springs and Alexandria offices are leased and have approximately 65,000 and 30,600 square feet, respectively. The leases for our Colorado Springs and Alexandria offices expire in 2028 and 2021, respectively. We consider the properties that we lease to be in good condition and generally suitable for the purposes for which they are used.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to employment matters, matters in connection with our contracts and matters arising under laws relating to the protection of the environment.

As a result of final indirect rate negotiations between the U.S. government and our Former Parent, we may be subject to potential adjustments to costs previously allocated by our Former Parent to our business, which was formerly Exelis’ Mission Systems Business, from 2007 through September 2014. We have recently been in discussions with our Former Parent regarding the negotiated adjustments for 2007-2014 and believe that our potential cumulative liability for these years is insignificant. In June 2019, the U.S. government provided us with the COFD for the years 2007-2010 related to Former Parent costs. In August 2019, we filed an appeal of the COFD with the ASBCA. Since October 2019, the ASBCA has granted Vectrus’ and the U.S. government’s joint requests to stay proceedings in the appeal, most recently through April 11, 2021, to enable ongoing discussions regarding the matter between Vectrus and our Former Parent. In June 2020, the U.S. government provided us with the COFD for 2013 related to Former Parent costs. In September 2020, we filed an appeal of this COFD to the ASBCA and sought a deferral of payment. In addition, we filed a motion to consolidate both appeals. The ASBCA granted our motion to consolidate. We believe we are fully indemnified under our Distribution Agreement with our Former Parent and have notified our Former Parent of our appeal of the U.S. government's decision in this matter. We believe the amount of indemnity required is insignificant.

Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.

See Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not Applicable.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

COMMON STOCK – MARKET INFORMATION, HOLDERS AND DIVIDENDS

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “VEC". Our common stock started trading on the NYSE in September 2014. As of February 26, 2021, there were approximately 4,468 stockholders of record and 11.6 million outstanding shares of common stock.

To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. The declaration and payment of dividends by us are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depend on many factors including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, covenants associated with our debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to what level of dividends, if any, will be paid in the future. In deciding whether to pay future dividends on our common stock, our Board of Directors may take into account such matters as general business conditions, industry practice, our financial condition and performance, our future prospects, our cash needs and capital investment plans, debt levels and requirements, income tax consequences, applicable law and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion of restrictions on the payment of dividends under our credit agreement, see Note 10, "Debt", in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

For a discussion of the securities authorized under our equity compensation plans, see Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which incorporates by reference the information to be disclosed in our definitive proxy statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2020.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph provides a comparison of the cumulative total shareholder return of our common stock to the returns of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P Aerospace & Defense Select Industry Index from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2020 with data points as of December 31 for the years shown. The graph is not, and is not intended to be, indicative of future performance of our common stock. This graph is not deemed to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) and should not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our prior or subsequent filings under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (Securities Act), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The graph assumes that $100 had been invested in Vectrus common stock, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P Aerospace & Defense Select Industry Index on December 31, 2014 and that all dividends were reinvested.

Overview

Vectrus is a leading provider of global service solutions to the U.S. government worldwide. We operate as one segment and offer facility and base operations, supply chain and logistics services, information technology mission support, and engineering and digital integration services.

Our primary customer is the U.S. Department of Defense, with a high concentration in the U.S. Army. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we had total revenue of $1.4 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, substantially all of which was derived from U.S. government customers. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we generated approximately 69%, 69% and 73%, respectively, of our total revenue from the U.S. Army.

Executive Summary

Our revenue increased by $13.0 million, or 0.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue was attributable mainly to increases from our U.S. programs of $29.2 million (which includes $20.7 million from our 2019 acquisition of Advantor), and our European programs of $17.0 million partially offset by a $33.2 million decrease in our Middle East programs.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $43.5 million, a decrease of $6.2 million or 12.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $4.6 million from our Middle East programs, $0.8 million from our U.S. programs, and $0.7 million from our European programs.

During the performance of our long-term contracts, we periodically review estimated final contract prices and costs and make revisions as required, which are recorded as changes in revenue and cost of revenue in the periods in which they are determined. Additionally, the fees under certain contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual performance against established targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included in revenue when there is sufficient information to reasonably assess anticipated contract performance. Amounts representing contract change orders or limitations in funding on contracts are recorded only if it is probable the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Changes in estimated revenue, cost of revenue and the related effect to operating income are recognized using cumulative adjustments, which recognize in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. Cumulative adjustments are driven by changes in contract terms, program performance, customer scope changes and changes to estimates in the reported period. These changes can increase or decrease operating income depending on the dynamics of each contract.

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.7 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represent effective income tax rates of 4.5% and 23.2%, respectively. See Note 13, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Further details related to the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, are contained in the Discussion of Financial Results section. Details related to the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 may be found in the Discussion of Financial Results section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, electronically filed with the SEC on EDGAR on March 3, 2020.

COVID-19 Impact

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We have taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, to work with our customers to minimize ultimate potential disruptions, and to support our community in addressing the challenges posed by this global pandemic. The extent of the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our programs in the expected timeframe, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, it is estimated that COVID-19 caused a $63.1 million reduction in our revenue and a $0.39 reduction in our diluted earnings per share. This impact was primarily due to certain government actions to restrict access to certain bases by Vectrus personnel and delays in supplier deliveries.

In accordance with the DoD guidance issued in March 2020 designating the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure workforce, our U.S. facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet our commitments to the U.S. government and the U.S. military; however, facility closures or work slowdowns or supply chain disruptions have affected our financial results and projections. In addition, other countries are responding to the pandemic differently which have affected our international operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers. However, any closures to date have not significantly impacted Vectrus' business.

We continue to work with our customers, employees, suppliers and communities to address the impacts of COVID-19. We continue to assess possible implications to our business, supply chain and customers and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences in order to support our customers' mission critical business and national security.

Significant Contracts

The following table reflects contracts that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for one or more of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:


	% of Total Revenue
	Years Ended December 31,
Contract Name	2020	2019	2018
K-BOSSS	34.1%	35.8%	40.5%
OMDAC-SWACA	14.2%	15.6%	14.1%

Revenue associated with a contract will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the work being performed on the contract, award fee payments, and other contract modifications within the term of the contract resulting in changes to the total contract value.

U.S. government contracts are multi-year contracts and typically include an initial period of one year or less with annual one-year (or less) option periods for the remaining contract period. The number of option periods vary by contract, and there is no guarantee that an option period will be exercised by the U.S. government. The right to exercise an option period is at the sole discretion of the U.S. government. The U.S. government may also extend the term of a program by issuing extensions or bridge contracts, typically for periods of one year or less.

The K-BOSSS contract currently is exercised through September 28, 2021. K-BOSSS, our largest base operations support services contract, supports geographically-dispersed locations within the State of Kuwait, including several camps and a range training complex. The K-BOSSS contract was re-competed as a task order under the LOGCAP V contract vehicle, which was awarded April 12, 2019. The K-BOSSS contract contributed $475 million and $495 million of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On December 29, 2020, the US Army announced that Vectrus Systems Corporation (VSC), our wholly-owned subsidiary, was awarded an $882.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to continue Operations, Maintenance and Defense of Army Communications in Southwest Asia and Central Asia (OMDAC-SWACA). Work will be based in Kuwait with additional locations throughout Southwest Asia. The estimated completion date is December 26, 2025. The OMDAC-SWACA contract contributed $198 million and $216 million of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Backlog

Total backlog includes remaining performance obligations, consisting of both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is contractually authorized and appropriated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer and unexercised contract options). Total backlog excludes potential orders under IDIQ contracts and contracts awarded to us that are being protested by competitors with the GAO or in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The value of the backlog is based on anticipated revenue levels over the anticipated life of the contract. Actual values may be greater or less than anticipated. Total backlog is converted into revenue as work is performed. The level of order activity related to programs can be affected by the timing of government funding authorizations and their project evaluation cycles. Year-over-year comparisons could, at times, be impacted by these factors, among others.

Our contracts are multi-year contracts and typically include an initial period of one year or less with annual one-year (or less) option periods for the remaining contract period. The number of option periods vary by contract, and there is no guarantee that an option period will be exercised. The right to exercise an option period is at the sole discretion of the U.S. government when we are the prime contractor or of the prime contractor when we are a subcontractor. The U.S. government may also extend the term of a program by issuing extensions of bridge contracts, typically for periods of one year or less.

We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our funded backlog as revenue within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. government or the prime contractor may cancel any contract at any time through a termination for convenience. Most of our contracts have terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and fees for work performed in the event of a termination for convenience.

Total backlog increased by $2.3 billion in the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes an increase of $827.4 million from the acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB. As of December 31, 2020, total backlog (funded and unfunded) was $5.1 billion as set forth in the following table:


	As of December 31,
(In millions)	2020		2019
Funded backlog	$	843	$	707
Unfunded backlog	4,221		2,044
Total backlog	$	5,064	$	2,751

Funded orders (different from funded backlog) represent orders for which funding was received during the period. We received funded orders of $1.8 billion during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was an increase of $536.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.

Economic Opportunities, Challenges and Risks

The U.S. government’s investment in services and capabilities in response to changing security challenges creates a complex and fluid business environment for Vectrus and other firms in this market segment. The pace and depth of U.S. government acquisition reform and cost savings initiatives, combined with increased industry competitiveness to win long-term positions on key programs, could add pressure to revenue levels and profit margins going forward. However, we expect the U.S. government will continue to place a high priority on national security and will continue to invest in affordable solutions for its facilities, logistics, equipment, operational technology, and communication needs, which aligns with our services and strengths. Further, the DoD budget remains the largest in the world and management believes our addressable portion of the DoD budget offers substantial opportunity for growth.

Over the past several years, U.S. defense spending has been mandated by the Budget Control Act. The Budget Control Act establishes spending caps over a 10-year period through 2021, including a sequester mechanism that would impose additional defense cuts if an annual defense appropriations bill is enacted above the spending cap. The U.S. government's FY begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. On August 2, 2019, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 was enacted, which increased the spending limits for both defense and non-defense discretionary funding for the U.S. government in FY 2020 and 2021 and reduced budget uncertainty associated with the Budget Control Act. The defense spending limits in FY 2020 and FY 2021 were raised by $90 billion and $81 billion, respectively. The total spending limits for national defense (including approved overseas contingency operations spending) for FY 2020 and 2021 are $738 billion and $741 billion, respectively.

On February 10, 2020, the Administration submitted the FY 2021 budget, which provides $741 billion in discretionary funding for national defense and includes $672 billion in base funding and $69 billion in overseas contingency operations funding. The approved funding is in accordance with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019. On January 1, 2021, the $741 billion National Defense Authorization Act became law.

Although the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 reduces budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration, there remain risks associated with FY 2021 and future appropriations. If annual appropriations bills are not enacted, the U.S. government

may operate under a CR, restricting new contract or program starts and additional government shutdowns, which might involve all government agencies, including the DoD, could arise. Future CR’s and government shutdowns may lead to delays in procurement of services due to lack of funding, and those delays may adversely affect our revenue, results of operations and cash flow. Finally, there remains uncertainty surrounding future discretionary defense funding levels and priorities of the Administration and Congress, which could adversely impact demand for our services.

We believe spending on operation and maintenance of defense assets, as well as civilian agency infrastructure and equipment, will continue to be a U.S. government priority. Our focus is on sustaining facilities, equipment, and IT networks, while utilizing operational technologies and converged solutions to improve efficiency and the outcomes of our clients' missions. We believe this aligns with our customers' intent to utilize existing equipment and infrastructure rather than executing new purchases. Many of the core functions we perform are mission-essential. The following are examples of a few of these core functions: (i) keeping communications networks operational; (ii) maintaining airfields; and (iii) providing emergency services. While customers may reduce the level of services required from us, we do not currently anticipate the complete elimination of these services.

The information provided above does not represent a complete list of trends and uncertainties that could impact our business in either the near or long-term and should be considered along with the risk factors identified under the caption “Risk Factors” identified in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the matters identified under the caption “Forward-Looking Statement Information" herein.

Net Income	$	36,951		$	33,176		$	3,775	11.4	%

Revenue

Our revenue increased by $13.0 million, or 0.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue was attributable mainly to increases from our U.S. programs of $29.2 million (which includes $20.7 million from our 2019 acquisition of Advantor), and our European programs of $17.0 million, partially offset by a decrease from our Middle East programs of $33.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

The increase in cost of revenue of $16.8 million, or 1.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due to higher revenue as described above and a contract adjustment to one of our European programs.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2020, SG&A expenses of $80.7 million increased by $2.4 million, or 3.0%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to increased merger and acquisition costs of $2.2 million, partially offset by decreases to other miscellaneous expenses.

Operating Income

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $6.2 million, or 12.4%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $4.6 million from our Middle East programs, $0.8 million from our U.S. programs, and $0.7 million from our European programs.

Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 3.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 3.6% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Aggregate cumulative adjustments decreased operating income by $3.7 million and increased operating income by $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The aggregate cumulative adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2020 relate to lower margins associated with contract staffing and increased other direct costs. The aggregate cumulative adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2019 relate to favorable finalization of contract cost recoveries on contracts closed out with customers and higher margins associated with efficient labor cost management on active contracts.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest (expense) income, net for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,				Change
(In thousands)	2020		2019		$		%
Interest income	$	123	$	182	$	(59)	(32.4)	%
Interest expense	(4,916)		(6,652)		(1,736)		(26.1)	%
Interest expense, net	$	(4,793)	$	(6,470)	$	(1,677)	(25.9)	%

Interest income is directly related to interest earned on our cash. Interest expense is directly related to borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, the amortization of debt issuance costs, and derivative instruments used to hedge a portion of our exposure to interest rate risk. The decrease in interest expense of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was due primarily to increased use of our revolving credit facility in 2019 to finance short-term working capital requirements and the acquisition of Advantor.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represented effective income tax expense rates of 4.5% and 23.2%, for the respective years. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to the release of the uncertain tax position balance of $7.1 million relating to the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) Deduction for the years 2018 through 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Historically, we have generated operating cash flow sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, and financing requirements. We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditure and financing requirements, and pursue additional growth through new business development and potential acquisition opportunities by using cash flows from operations, cash on hand, our credit facilities and access to capital markets. When necessary we will utilize our revolving credit facility to satisfy short-term working capital requirements.

If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to access the long-term or short-term capital markets. Although we believe that our current financing arrangements will permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (iii) the current state of the economy. We cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all.

To date, COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on our liquidity, cash flows or capital resources. However, the continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.

In addition, on March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which provides for the deferral of certain tax payments. The CARES Act also contains numerous other provisions which may benefit Vectrus and we continue to review ongoing government guidance on both the CARES Act and COVID-19 to assess potential impacts on our liquidity and capital resources.

In September 2014, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, VSC, entered into a credit agreement. The credit agreement was subsequently amended, with the most recent amendment occurring on December 24, 2020 and is collectively referred to

as the Amended Agreement. The Amended Agreement consists of a term loan (Amended Term Loan) and a $270.0 million revolving credit facility (Amended Revolver) as of December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2020, there were $115.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver that were used for the December 31, 2020 acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB. At December 31, 2020, there were two letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million, which reduced our borrowing availability to $152.6 million under the Amended Revolver. Vectrus had net debt, which is defined as total debt minus cash, of $112.1 million and $35.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Amendment Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to draw up to an additional $100.0 million subject to the lender's consent on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. The Amendment Agreement also permits the Company to borrow up to $75.0 million in unsecured debt as long as the aggregated sum of both the unsecured debt and the accordion does not exceed $100.0 million.

Dividends

We do not currently plan to pay a regular dividend on our common stock. The declaration of any future cash dividends and if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will depend upon our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, financial covenants and other contractual restrictions and the discretion of our Board of Directors. In deciding whether to pay future dividends on our common stock, our Board of Directors may take into account such matters as general business conditions, industry practice, our financial condition and performance, our future prospects, our cash needs and capital investment plans, income tax consequences, applicable law and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Cash, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and accounts payable are the principal components of our working capital and are generally driven by our level of revenue with other short-term fluctuations related to payment practices by our customers and the timing of our billings. Our receivables reflect amounts billed to our customers, as well as the revenue that was recognized in the preceding month, which is normally billed the month following each balance sheet date.

The total amount of our accounts receivable can vary significantly over time and is sensitive to revenue levels and the timing of payments received from our customers. Days sales outstanding (DSO) is a metric used to monitor accounts receivable levels. The Company determines its DSO by calculating the number of days necessary to exhaust its ending accounts receivable balance based on its most recent historical revenue. Our DSO was 66 as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The following table sets forth net cash provided by operating activities, investing and financing activities.


	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019		2018
Operating activities	$	64,081	$	27,557	$	40,056
Investing activities	(138,025)		(55,825)		(46,847)
Financing activities	105,774		(1,896)		(3,285)
Foreign exchange	1,579		(663)		(1,232)
Net change in cash	$	33,409	$	(30,827)	$	(11,308)

Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges. Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of net income of $37.0 million, non-cash items of $17.9 million, favorable net changes in net working capital of $5.8 million, and favorable net changes in other long-term assets of approximately $3.4 million. Tax deferrals related to the CARES Act contributed $13.2 million to our cash flows from operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of net income of $33.2 million and non-cash items of $15.2 million offset by increases in net working capital of $20.3 million due to the timing of cash collections and payments, as reflected primarily in accounts receivable and accounts payable and increases in other long-term assets of approximately $0.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of $133.6 million for the acquisition of Zenetex and HHB and $4.4 million of net capital expenditures for the purchase of computer hardware and software, and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of $45.1 million for the acquisition of Advantor and $10.7 million of net capital expenditures for the purchase of computer hardware and software, intangible assets, and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of net borrowings from the Amended Revolver of $115.0 million to meet short-term working capital requirements and for the acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB and $0.1 million in cash received from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt of $6.5 million, debt issuance costs of $0.8 million, and payments related to employee withholding taxes on share-based compensation of $2.0 million.

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of repayments of long-term debt of $4.5 million, and payments related to employee withholding taxes on share-based compensation in the amount of $1.1 million, offset by $3.7 million in cash received from the exercise of stock options. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we borrowed and repaid a total of $333.5 million from the Amended Revolver to meet short-term working capital requirements.

Capital Resources

At December 31, 2020, we held cash and cash equivalents of $66.9 million, which included $18.8 million held by foreign subsidiaries, and had $152.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended Revolver which expires on November 15, 2022. We believe that our cash at December 31, 2020, as supplemented by cash flows from operations and the Amended Revolver, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs, capital expenditures and current debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months.

We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective in January 2020 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $250 million of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, warrants, rights and debt securities. If necessary, we may seek to obtain additional term loans or issue debt or equity under the registration statement to supplement our working capital and investing requirements or to fund acquisitions. A financing transaction may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and a financing transaction may be dilutive to our current stockholders.

Contractual Obligations

Our commitments to make future payments under long-term contractual obligations were as follows, as of December 31, 2020:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have obligations relating to operating leases and letters of credit outstanding. Our Amended Revolver permits borrowings up to $270.0 million, of which $25.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. At December 31, 2020, there were two letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million, which reduced our borrowing availability under the Amended Revolver to $152.6 million. The aforementioned arrangements have not had, and management does not believe it is likely that they will in the future, have a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources, operations or financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are discussed in Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, goodwill impairment assessments, intangible assets and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements because they are inherently uncertain, involve significant judgments, include areas where different estimates reasonably could materially impact the financial statements. These significant critical accounting policies are discussed in this section. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. As a defense contractor engaging in long-term contracts, substantially all of our revenue is derived from long-term service contracts. The unit of account for revenue in ASC Topic 606 is a performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, consideration is given as to whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to perform an integrated set of tasks and deliverables as a single service solution, whereby each service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and therefore is not distinct. As a result, when this integrated set of tasks exists, the contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Unexercised contract options and IDIQ contracts are considered to be separate performance obligations when the option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded. Our performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are provided throughout the contract term. We recognize revenue over time using the input method (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress. Our over time recognition is reinforced by the fact that our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services as they are performed.

Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the services being performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer.

The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including award and incentive fees, inspection of supplies and services, undefinitized change orders, and fluctuation in allowable indirect reimbursable costs. We include award or incentive fees in the estimated transaction price when there is certainty and a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee. These estimates are based on historical award experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. The inspection of supplies and services is a factor because the U.S. government can reduce the transaction price if we do not perform the services in compliance with contract requirements. Variable consideration associated with undefinitized change orders is included to the extent that related estimated costs have been included in the expected costs to complete a contract. The fluctuation of allowable indirect reimbursable costs is a factor because the U.S. government has the right to review our accounting records and retroactively adjust the reimbursable rate. Any prior adjustments are reflected in the U.S. government reserve amounts recorded in our financial statements. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount that we expect to be entitled to receive. Refer to Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion regarding U.S. government reserve amounts.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract estimates regularly. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on executed contracts cumulatively. The impact of the adjustments on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the quarter it is identified.

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. If the modification either creates new enforceable rights and obligations or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations, the modification will be treated as a separate contract. Our contract modifications, except for those to exercise option years, have historically not been distinct from the existing contract and have been accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed and unbilled accounts receivable (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly). Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we may receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These advance billings and payments are not considered significant financing components because they are frequently intended to fund current operating expenses under the contract. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

See Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 4, “Revenue” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to the tangible assets, financial assets and separately recognized intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values, with the excess recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant judgment, which includes, among other factors, analysis of historical performance and estimates of future performance. These factors may cause final amounts to differ materially from original estimates. In some cases, we use discounted cash flow analyses, which are based on our best estimate of future revenue, earnings and cash flows as well as our discount rate adjusted for risk.

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, such as changes to the reporting unit structure or significant adverse changes in the business climate). We conduct our annual impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter. In reviewing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we elect to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that an impairment is more likely than not, we then perform a quantitative impairment test as described below. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.

For the quantitative impairment test we compare the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit while taking into consideration the related income tax effect from any tax deductible goodwill.

For 2020 and 2019, we used the qualitative approach to assess goodwill for impairment. No impairment charges related to goodwill were recorded during 2020 and 2019.

We recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill whenever the intangible assets arise from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever they can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless the estimated useful life is determined to be indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over useful lives of four to eight years. The straight-line method of amortization is used as it has been determined to approximate the use pattern of the assets.

Income Taxes

We determine the provision or benefit for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences will reverse. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, we recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that we believe it is more likely than not we will realize these benefits. We periodically assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and reflect any changes to our estimate of the amount we are more likely than not to realize in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate.

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of certain undistributed foreign earnings for which we have not recognized U.S. taxes because we plan to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. We plan foreign earnings remittance amounts based on projected cash flow needs, as well as the working capital and long-term investment requirements of our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic operations. Based on these assumptions, we estimate the amount we will distribute to the U.S. and recognize the U.S. federal taxes due only on these amounts. Material changes in our estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we do business could impact our actual remittance amounts and, accordingly, our effective tax rate.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated

tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. Furthermore, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

We adjust our liability for unrecognized tax benefits in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional tax expense would result. If a payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary to be provided.

New Accounting Standards Updates

See Part II, Item 8, Note 2, "Recent Accounting Standards Updates" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding accounting standards updates.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. All of the potential changes noted below are based on information available at December 31, 2020.

Interest Rate Risk

Each one percentage point change associated with the variable rate Amended Term Loan would result in a $0.2 million change in our annual cash interest expenses, net of the interest rate swaps in place as of December 31, 2020 to hedge a portion of this risk.

Assuming our Amended Revolver was fully drawn to a principal amount equal to $270 million, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in a $2.7 million change in our annual cash interest expense.

As of December 31, 2020, the notional value of our interest rate swap agreements totaled $48.1 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt in the period incurred. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. Refer to Note 11, “Derivative Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our interest rate swaps.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The majority of our business is conducted in U.S. dollars. However, we are required to transact in foreign currencies for some of our contracts, resulting in some assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, our earnings may experience some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various foreign currencies to selectively protect against volatility in the value of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, the U.S. dollar notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts was approximately $7.1 million. The net fair value of these contracts at December 31, 2020 was $0.4 million.

We perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our forward foreign currency exchange contracts. To perform the sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values from the effect of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This analysis assumes a like movement by the foreign currencies in our hedge portfolio against the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2020, a 5% appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar would result in a net decrease in the fair value of our derivative portfolio of approximately $0.3 million.

For additional information on our interest rate and foreign currency hedge contracts, refer to Note 11, “Derivative Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2020. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On December 31, 2020, we completed our acquisitions of HHB and Zenetex. We are in the process of integrating HHB's and Zenetex's financial reporting processes and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting into our financial reporting processes, procedures and internal controls. In the course of integrating HHB's and Zenetex's financial reporting processes and procedures with ours, we may implement changes to financial reporting processes and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and will disclose any such changes, if material, as required by the rules of the SEC. Management intends to complete its assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for the acquired businesses within one year of the date of the acquisitions.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). On December 31, 2020, we completed our acquisitions of HHB and Zenetex. We are in the process of integrating HHB's and Zenetex’s financial reporting processes and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting into our financial reporting processes, procedures and internal controls. In the course of integrating HHB's and Zenetex’s financial reporting processes and procedures with ours, we may implement changes to financial reporting processes and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and will disclose any such changes, if material, as required by the rules of the SEC. Management intends to complete its assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for the acquired businesses within one year of the date of the acquisitions. As permitted by the SEC, we have excluded HHB and Zenetex from our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Total assets and net assets subject to HHB and Zenetex’s internal control over financial reporting represented approximately 6% of our consolidated total assets and net assets, excluding acquisition method fair value adjustments, as of December 31, 2020.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with our Audit Committee.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there may be resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Vectrus, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Vectrus, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Company and our report dated March 2, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Zenetex, LLC (Zenetex) and Higgins, Hermansen, Banikas, LLC (HHB), which were acquired on December 31, 2020, and whose financial statements constitute 6% of net and total assets of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of December 31, 2020. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Zenetex and HHB.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Vectrus, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vectrus, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 2, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition — Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes revenue on contracts over time. Accounting for contracts and programs involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the services being performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and negotiations with the customer on contract modifications. For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenue was $1,396 million.

We identified revenue on contracts as a critical audit matter because of the assumptions necessary to estimate total costs and revenue for the performance obligations. This required extensive audit effort due to the volume and complexity of contracts and required a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to audit management’s estimates and assumptions related to total costs and revenue.

F-2

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates of total costs and revenue for the performance obligations used to recognize revenue included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over contract revenue, including management’s controls over the estimates of total costs and revenue for performance obligations.

•We developed an expectation of revenue and compared it to the recorded balance.

•We selected a sample of contracts and performed the following for each contract:

– Evaluated whether the contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of contract revenue based on the terms and conditions of each contract, including whether the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s services.

– Compared the transaction prices to the consideration expected to be received based on current rights and obligations under the contracts and any modifications that were agreed upon with the customers.

– Tested management’s identification of distinct performance obligations by evaluating whether the underlying services were an integrated set of tasks and deliverables as a single service solution, as well as the impact of contract modifications.

– Tested the accuracy and completeness of the costs incurred to date for the performance obligation.

– Evaluated the estimates of total cost and revenue for the performance obligation by:

•Comparing costs incurred to date to the costs management estimated to be incurred to date.

•Comparing management’s estimates for the selected contracts to costs and revenue of similar performance obligations, when applicable, as well as current contractual requirements.

•Developing an independent expectation of management’s estimated cost based upon historical labor efforts and comparing it to the estimated cost prepared by management.

•Selecting a sample of items representing contractual consideration and agreeing the samples to contract documents or other supporting documentation related to management’s estimate of variable consideration and contract scope changes.

•Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of revenue for the performance obligation.

•We selected a sample of performance obligations and the associated estimate of profitability at

completion as prepared by management and compared it to the recorded cost and revenue.

•We evaluated management’s ability to estimate total costs and revenue accurately by comparing actual costs and profits to management’s historical estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled.

NOTE 1

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Our Business

Vectrus, Inc. is a leading provider of global service solutions to the U.S. government worldwide. The Company operates as one segment and provides the following services and offerings: facility and base operations, supply chain and logistics services, information technology mission support, and engineering and digital integration services.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to "Vectrus", "we," "us," "our," "the Company" and "our Company" refer to Vectrus, Inc. Vectrus was incorporated in the State of Indiana in February 2014. On September 27, 2014, Exelis Inc. (Exelis) completed the spin-off (the Spin-off) of Vectrus and Vectrus became an independent, publicly traded company. References in these notes to "Exelis" or "Former Parent" refer to Exelis Inc., an Indiana corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than Vectrus). Exelis was acquired by Harris Corporation in May 2015.

Equity Investment

In 2011, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc., which is now APTIM Federal Services LLC. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, High Desert Support Services, LLC (HDSS) was established to pursue and perform work on the Ft. Irwin Installation Support Services Contract, which was awarded to HDSS in October 2012. We account for our investment in HDSS under the equity method as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not hold a controlling interest. We record our proportionate 40% share of income or losses, which has historically been insignificant, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Our investment in HDSS is recorded in other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When we receive cash distributions from HDSS, the cash distribution is compared to cumulative earnings and any excess is recorded as a distribution from equity investment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any remaining cash distribution is recorded in changes to other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment balance in HDSS was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Vectrus has entered into other joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects and to manage labor and life support services. These joint ventures are characterized by a 50% or less, noncontrolling ownership interest with decision making and distribution of expected gains and losses typically being proportionate to the ownership or participation interest. We account for our investment in thee joint ventures under the equity method as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not hold a controlling interest. Our investment balances in these joint ventures and our related income or losses have historically been insignificant.

Immaterial Restatement of Prior Period Balances

Subsequent to the issuance of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified an error in our historical financial statements related to estimated contract costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as an error in our historical financial statements related to overbilling for a separate contract dating back to 2013, prior to the Spin-off. In the first instance, management determined that additional subcontractor costs should have been included as part of estimated contract costs, resulting in a misstatement in other accrued liabilities and cost of revenue as well as revenue and accounts receivable to a lesser extent. In the second instance, management identified that certain contract costs were incorrectly included in customer billings for one contract, resulting in a misstatement in revenue and other accrued liabilities.

The cumulative impact of the errors was a $2.5 million decrease in retained earnings as of December 31, 2019. The impact of the errors on net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is a decrease of $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The impact on diluted earnings per share is a decrease of $0.13 and $0.02 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accordingly, the Company is restating the relevant financial statements and related footnotes for all applicable periods for these errors and related tax effect. Management has evaluated the materiality of these misstatements and concluded they were not material to prior periods, individually or in aggregate.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Vectrus consolidates companies in which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, income taxes, fair value and impairment of goodwill and valuation of assets and certain contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Information

Management has concluded that the Company operates as one segment based upon the information used by the chief operating decision maker in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and allocating resources and capital. Although we perform services worldwide, substantially all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was from the U.S. government.

Revenue Recognition

As a defense contractor engaging in long-term contracts, substantially all of our revenue is derived from long-term service contracts. The unit of account for revenue in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) is a performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, consideration is given as to whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to perform an integrated set of tasks and deliverables as a single service solution, whereby each service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and therefore is not distinct. As a result, when this integrated set of tasks exists, the contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The vast majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation. Unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts are considered to be separate performance obligations when

F-11

the option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded. Our performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are provided throughout the contract term. We recognize revenue over time using the input method (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress. Our over time recognition is reinforced by the fact that our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services as they are performed. For most U.S. government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. This continuous transfer of control requires that we track progress towards completion of performance obligations in order to measure and recognize revenue.

Accounting for contracts and programs involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the services being performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and negotiations with the customer on contract modifications. When the estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of the transaction price, a provision for the entire loss is determined at a contract level and is recognized in the period in which the loss was determined.

The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including award and incentive fees, inspection of supplies and services, undefinitized change orders, and fluctuation in allowable indirect reimbursable costs. We include award or incentive fees in the estimated transaction price when there is certainty and a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee. These estimates are based on historical award experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. The inspection of supplies and services is a factor because the U.S. government can reduce the transaction price if we do not perform the services in compliance with contract requirements. Variable consideration associated with undefinitized change orders is included to the extent related estimated costs have been included in the expected costs to complete a contract. The fluctuation of allowable indirect reimbursable costs is a factor because the U.S. government has the right to review our accounting records and retroactively adjust the reimbursable rate. Any prior adjustments are reflected in the U.S. government reserve amounts recorded in our financial statements. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount that we expect to be entitled to receive, which is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Refer to Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding U.S. government reserve amounts.

Our primary customer is the U.S. Department of Defense, with a high concentration in the U.S. Army. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we had total revenue of $1.4 billion, $1.4 billion, and $1.3 billion, respectively, substantially all of which was derived from U.S. government customers. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we generated approximately 69%, 69% and 73%, respectively, of our total revenue from the U.S. Army.

F-12

Receivables

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers, amounts unbilled, certain estimated contract change amounts, estimates related to expected award fees, claims or requests for equitable adjustment in negotiation that are probable of recovery, and amounts retained by the customer pending contract completion. Unbilled receivables are classified as current assets based on our contract operating cycle.

Restricted Cash

The Company had restricted cash of $1.8 million related to collateral security for an outstanding letter of credit at December 31, 2020 and no restricted cash at December 31, 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents	$	66,949	$	35,318
Restricted cash	1,778		—
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	68,727	$	35,318

Earnings Per Share

We compute earnings per common share on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares,and, where dilutive, common share equivalents, outstanding during the indicated periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair values of the equity instruments issued or on the fair values of the liabilities incurred. The expense is recognized primarily within selling, general and administrative expenses over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally equivalent to the vesting terms.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property, plant and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized at cost while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed. For asset sales or retirements, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating income.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed using either an accelerated or straight-line method and is based on estimated useful lives or lease terms as follows:


						Years
Buildings and improvements						3 – 10
Machinery, equipment and vehicles						3 – 12
Office furniture and equipment, computers and software						3 – 7

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate. When carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flow, an impairment is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, comparable market values.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents purchase consideration paid in a business combination that exceeds the fair values assigned to the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, such as changes to the reporting unit structure or significant adverse changes in the business climate). We conduct our annual impairment testing on the first day of the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. In reviewing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we elect to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that an impairment is more likely than not, we then perform a quantitative impairment test as described below. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.

F-13

not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of our reporting unit using an income approach and a market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we compare our company to select reasonably similar publicly traded companies.

Intangible Assets

We recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill whenever the intangible assets arise from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever they can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless the estimated useful life is determined to be indefinite. Finite lived intangible assets are being amortized over useful lives of four to eight years. The straight-line method of amortization is used as it has been determined to approximate the use pattern of the assets.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (ASC Topic 842). Operating leases are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use (ROU) assets, other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 was applied to operating leases in effect as of that date. The lease ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Many of our leases include one or more options to renew or terminate the lease, solely at our discretion. Such options are factored into the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

As allowed under ASC Topic 842, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract was or contained a lease and assessment of initial direct costs. In addition, we have made policy elections to apply the short-term leases practical expedient, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet, and the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components. The latter expedient is applied to all of our leases. We did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient in determining lease terms and assessing impairment of ROU assets. See Note 12, "Leases" for further information.

Income Taxes

We determine the provision or benefit for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred income taxes represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies, and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates.

Commitments and Contingencies

We record accruals for commitments and loss contingencies when they are probable of occurrence and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. In addition, legal fees are accrued for cases where a loss is probable and the related fees can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of loss. We review these accruals quarterly and adjust the accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other updated information.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments are recognized as either an asset or liability at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are classified as current or long-term based on the scheduled maturity of the instrument. Our derivative instruments have been formally designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship under applicable accounting standards.

The interest rate derivative instruments are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If we were to determine that a derivative was no longer highly effective as a hedge, we would discontinue the hedge accounting prospectively. Gains or losses would be immediately reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings relating to hedged forecasted transactions that are no longer probable of occurring. Gains or losses relating

F-14

to terminations of effective cash flow hedges in which the forecasted transactions would still be probable of occurring would be deferred and recognized consistent with the income or loss recognition of the underlying hedged item.

Refer to Note 11, "Derivative Instruments," for additional information regarding our derivative activities.

Severance Expense

We periodically initiate management-approved restructuring activities to achieve cost savings through reduced operational redundancies and to strategically position ourselves in the market in response to prevailing economic conditions and associated customer demand. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include severance and related benefit charges. For involuntary separation plans, a liability is recognized when it is probable, reasonably estimable, and communicated to employees. For voluntary separation plans, a liability is recognized when the employee irrevocably accepts the termination.

Fair Value Measurements

We determine fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In measuring fair value, a fair value hierarchy is applied which categorizes and prioritizes the inputs used to estimate fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy is based on maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices (in nonactive markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of programs for which the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period; income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are recorded as translation adjustments to other comprehensive (loss) income. Net gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses and have historically been insignificant.

NOTE 2

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

Accounting Standards Updates Issued but Not Effective in 2020

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The objectives of ASU 2019-12 are (i) to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions, (ii) to update certain requirements to simplify the accounting for income taxes, and (iii) to make minor codification improvements for income taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other new accounting standards updates issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Updates That Were Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15). The objective of ASU 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the retrospective method. As a result of the adoption, $0.3 million was reclassified from 2019 year-end property, plant and equipment, net, to other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, $0.3 million of cash outflows from investing activities incurred during 2019 was reclassified to cash outflows from operating activities.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by entities performing their annual goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, including income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill, with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair

F-15

value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13). The objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3

ACQUISITIONS

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, we accounted for the below transaction using the acquisition method. We conducted valuations of certain acquired assets and liabilities for inclusion in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the date of acquisition. Assets that normally would not be recorded in ordinary operations, such as intangibles related to contractual relationships, were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

Zenetex

On December 31, 2020, we acquired Zenetex, LLC (Zenetex) a leading provider of technical and strategic solutions focused on enabling mission readiness, performance, and enhance protection for defense and national security clients globally.

The total net consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $118.1 million, consisting of the purchase price of $121.2 million, net of cash acquired, less $3.0 million for a working capital shortfall compared with the working capital requirement agreed upon in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was funded by utilizing available capacity from our Amended Revolver (as defined in Note 10, “Debt”) and cash on hand.

A breakdown of the preliminary purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired, is as follows:


(In thousands)	Allocation of Purchase Price

Receivables	$	39,965

Other current assets	1,174
Property, plant and equipment	1,116
Goodwill	66,925
Intangible assets	33,200
Right-of-use assets	7,910

Accounts payable	(10,481)
Other current liabilities	(949)
Accrued compensation	(12,478)
Lease liabilities	(8,251)
Other non-current liabilities	(11)
Purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	118,120

Adjustments to the initial purchase accounting for the acquired net assets will be completed, as needed, up to one year from the acquisition date as we obtain additional information regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

The Company recognized customer related intangible assets arising from the acquisition. The fair value was $33.2 million with an amortization period of 8.0 years. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average amortization period for these intangible assets was 8.0 years.

Additionally, the Company recognized goodwill of $66.9 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to acquired product and services strengthening our position as leading fully-integrated provider in the converged infrastructure market, as well as extending our operations and maintenance services to increase content and scope at client installations.

F-16

Goodwill also includes other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill recognized for the Zenetex acquisition is fully deductible for income tax purposes.

Zenetex results of operations will be included in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods subsequent to acquisition on December 31, 2020. On a proforma basis, the acquired business would have recognized revenue of $238.0 million and $208.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and an insignificant amount of income before taxes after proforma adjustments.

HHB

On December 31, 2020, we acquired Higgins, Hermansen, Banikas, LLC (HHB). HHB is a leading provider of high-end solutions for facilities management, logistics, engineering, enterprise operations and asset management solutions for supporting intelligence community projects. The total net consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $15.5 million. The acquisition was funded by utilizing available capacity from our Amended Revolver and cash on hand.

The Company recognized a customer related intangible assets arising from the acquisition. The fair value was $4.0 million with an amortization period of 8.0 years. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average amortization period for these intangible assets was 8.0 years.

Additionally, the Company recognized goodwill of $10.6 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to growth opportunities in the intelligence community as a converged infrastructure provider. Goodwill also includes other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill recognized for the HHB acquisition is fully deductible for income tax purposes.

The remainder of the purchase price was allocated primarily to working capital.

Advantor

On July 8, 2019, we acquired Advantor from Infrasafe Holding, Inc. and Infrasafe, LLC (collectively, Infrasafe). Advantor is a leading provider of integrated electronic security systems to the U.S. government.

The total net consideration paid for the acquisition was $45.1 million, consisting of the purchase price of $44.0 million, net of cash acquired, and $1.1 million for working capital in excess of the working capital requirement agreed upon in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was funded by utilizing cash on hand and available capacity from our Amended Revolver.

We completed the purchase accounting as of July 3, 2020 with no material adjustments. The Company recognized two intangible assets related to customer contracts (backlog) and the Advantor trade name arising from the acquisition. The fair value of the customer contracts was $7.2 million, and the fair value of the Advantor trade name was $1.1 million with amortization periods of 5.0 years and 4.5 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average amortization period for these intangible assets was 3.5 years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $1.7 million during 2020. The amortization expense is included in cost of revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Additionally, the Company recognized goodwill of $28.5 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to acquired product and services strengthening our advance into a higher value, technology-enabled and differentiated platform, as well as extending our facilities and logistics services to include the electronic protection and security of facilities. Goodwill

F-17

also includes other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill recognized for the Advantor acquisition is fully deductible for income tax purposes.

Advantor's results of operations have been included in our reported results since the date of acquisition.

SENTEL

On January 23, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of SENTEL Corporation (SENTEL).

The total net consideration paid for the acquisition was $36.9 million, consisting of the purchase price of $36.0 million and $0.9 million in excess of the working capital requirement agreed upon in the stock purchase agreement entered into among our wholly-owned subsidiary Vectrus Systems Corporation (VSC), SENTEL, R&R Enterprises, Inc. and Russell T. Wright. The acquisition was funded by utilizing cash on hand and available capacity from our Amended Revolver (as defined in Note 10, "Debt").

A breakdown of the purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired, is as follows:


(In thousands)	Allocation of Purchase Price
Receivables	$	23,339
Property, plant and equipment	810
Goodwill	16,689
Intangible assets	10,500
Other current assets	975
Accounts payable	(10,012)
Other current liabilities	(5,446)

Purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	36,855

With the acquisition of SENTEL, the Company recognized two intangible assets relating to customer contracts, backlog and contract re-competes. The fair value of the backlog was $6.5 million and the fair value of the contract re-competes was $4.0 million with amortization periods of 4.0 years and 8.0 years, respectively.

Additionally, the Company recognized goodwill of $16.7 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to growth opportunities based on a broader service offering in the converging physical and digital infrastructure market, and enhancing our information technology, technical solutions and logistics capabilities, while expanding our client base to customers in the U.S. intelligence community. The goodwill recognized for the SENTEL acquisition is fully deductible for income tax purposes.

SENTEL's results of operations have been included in our reported results since the date of acquisition.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company recognized total acquisition related costs of $4.2 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and do not reflect any other one-time internal non-recurring integration costs.

NOTE 4

REVENUE

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue in ASC Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, consideration is given as to whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to perform an integrated set of tasks and deliverables as a single service solution, whereby each service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and therefore is not distinct. As a result, when this integrated set of tasks exists, the contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The vast majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation. Unexercised contract options and IDIQ contracts are considered to be separate performance obligations when the option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded.

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are

F-18

not distinct, and therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Modifications to exercise option years create new enforceable rights and obligations and therefore are treated as separate performance obligations.

The Company's performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are provided throughout the contract term. We recognize revenue over time using the input method (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress. Our over time recognition is reinforced by the fact that our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services as they are performed. This continuous transfer of control requires that we track progress towards completion of performance obligations in order to measure and recognize revenue. Determining progress on performance obligations requires us to make judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognition. Remaining performance obligations represent firm orders by the customer and excludes potential orders under IDIQ contracts, unexercised contract options and contracts awarded to us that are being protested by competitors with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) or in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The level of order activity related to programs can be affected by the timing of government funding authorizations and their project evaluation cycles. Year-over-year comparisons could, at times, be impacted by these factors, among others.

The Company's contracts are multi-year contracts and typically include an initial period of one year or less with annual one-year (or less) option periods. The number of option periods varies by contract, and there is no guarantee that an option period will be exercised. The right to exercise an option period is at the sole discretion of the U.S. government when we are the prime contractor or of the prime contractor when we are a subcontractor. We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. government or the prime contractor may cancel any contract at any time through a termination for convenience or for cause. Substantially all of our contracts have terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and fees for work performed in the event of a termination for convenience.

Remaining performance obligations increased by $143.8 million to $993 million as of December 31, 2020 as compared to $849 million as of December 31, 2019. We expect to recognize approximately 85% of the remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2020 as revenue in 2021. Remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are presented in the following table:



	Year Ended December 31,
(In millions)	2020		2019
Performance Obligations	$	993	$	849

Contract Estimates

The impact of adjustments in contract estimates on our operating income can be reflected in either revenue or cost of revenue. Cumulative adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2020 were unfavorable by $3.7 million, and for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 were favorable by $3.1 million, and $1.6 million, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the net adjustments to operating income decreased revenue by $1.8 million, and increased revenue by $4.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Revenue by Category

Generally, the sales price elements for our contracts are cost-plus, cost-reimbursable or firm-fixed-price. We commonly have elements of cost-plus, cost-reimbursable and firm-fixed-price contracts on a single contract. On a cost-plus type contract, we are paid our allowable incurred costs plus a profit, which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement, up to funding levels predetermined by our customers. On cost-plus type contracts, we do not bear the risks of unexpected cost overruns, provided that we do not incur costs that exceed the predetermined funded amounts. Most of our cost-plus contracts also contain a firm-fixed-price element. Cost-plus type contracts with award and incentive fee provisions are our primary variable contract fee arrangement. Award fees provide for a fee based on actual performance relative to contractually specified performance criteria. Incentive fees provide for a fee based on the relationship between total allowable and target cost. On most of our contracts, a cost-reimbursable element captures consumable materials required for the program. Typically, these costs do not bear fees.

F-19

On a firm-fixed-price type contract, we agree to perform the contractual statement of work for a predetermined contract price. A firm-fixed-price type contract typically offers higher profit margin potential than a cost-plus type contract, which is commensurate with the greater levels of risk we assume on a firm-fixed-price type contract. Although a firm-fixed-price type contract generally permits us to retain profits if the total actual contract costs are less than the estimated contract costs, we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to sustain losses on the contract. Although the overall scope of work required under the contract may not change, profit may be adjusted as experience is gained and as efficiencies are realized or costs are incurred.

The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by different categories. Revenue by contract type for the years 2020, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Contract Balances

F-20

parties are in conformance with the primary contract terms. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

As of December 31, 2020, we had contract assets of $203.1 million. Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables which represent rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees that are: (i) billable immediately; (ii) billable on contract completion; or (iii) billable upon other specified events, such as the resolution of a request for equitable adjustment. Refer to Note 5, "Receivables," for additional information regarding the composition of our receivables balances. As of December 31, 2020, our contract liabilities were insignificant.

NOTE 5

RECEIVABLES

Receivables were comprised of the following:


	December 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Billed receivables	$	102,045	$	71,068
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)	203,127		186,365
Other	9,787		11,711
Total Receivables	$	314,959	$	269,144

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, substantially all billed receivables are due from the U.S. government, either directly as prime contractor to the U.S. government or as subcontractor to another prime contractor to the U.S. government. Because the Company’s billed receivables are with the U.S. government, the Company does not believe it has a material credit risk exposure.

Unbilled receivables are contract assets that represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of amounts billed as of the balance sheet date. We expect to bill customers for the majority of the December 31, 2020 contract assets during 2021. Changes in the balance of receivables are primarily due to the timing differences between our performance and customer payments.

NOTE 6

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of share-based compensation outstanding after application of the treasury stock method.

NOTE 8

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on the first day of the Company's fourth fiscal quarter each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The annual tests performed in the three years ended December 31, 2020 resulted in no impairment of goodwill.

The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill for 2019 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands):


Balance at December 31, 2018	$	233,619
Acquisition of Advantor	28,364
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	261,983

F-22

The increase during 2020 was due to $33.2 million from the acquisition of Zenetex and $4.0 million from the acquisition of HHB on December 31, 2020. This increase was partially offset by intangible amortization expense of approximately $4.0 million and $3.1 million for years ended 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average intangible asset amortization period was 7.0 years.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for the next five years is as follows (in thousands):


Period	Amortization
2021	$	8,679
2022	$	7,151

NOTE 10

DEBT

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Term Loan and Revolver. In September 2014, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, VSC, entered into a credit agreement. The credit agreement was subsequently amended, with the most recent amendment occurring on December 24, 2020 and is collectively referred to as the Amended Agreement. The credit agreement consists of a term loan (Amended Term Loan) and a $270.0 million revolving credit facility (Amended Revolver) as of December 31, 2020.

Additionally, the Amendment Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to draw up to an additional $100.0 million subject to the lender's consent on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. The Amendment Agreement also permits the Company to borrow up to $75.0 million in unsecured debt as long as the aggregated sum of both the unsecured debt and the accordion does not exceed $100.0 million.

Deferred debt issuance costs of $1.1 million incurred in 2020 for the Amended Agreement are being amortized over the term of the agreement and are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

We used $74.6 million from the Amended Term Loan to repay principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Credit Agreement. We also used $1.8 million from the Amended Term Loan to pay debt financing fees, which are included in "Long-term debt, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the Amendment Agreement. Amortization expense relating to debt issuance costs on the Amendment Agreement was $0.4 million annually for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. All debt issuance amortization costs are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Amended Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to $2.0 million per quarter for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 through September 30, 2021, $2.6 million for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022, with the balance of $47.6 million due on November 15, 2022. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Term Loan that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by the maturity dates. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the balance outstanding under the Amended Term Loan was $64.0 million and $70.5 million, respectively.

The Amended Revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Amended Revolver will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on November 15, 2022. We used $115.0 million of the Amended Revolver for our December 31, 2020 acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB (see Note 3 Acquisitions). There were $115.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver at December 31, 2020. Up to $25.0 million of the Amended Revolver is available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2020, there were two letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million, which reduced our borrowing availability under the Amended Revolver to $152.6 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver at December 31, 2019.

The Company's aggregate scheduled maturities of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver as of December 31, 2020, are as follows:


(In thousands)	Payments due
2021	$	8,600
2022	170,400



Total	$	179,000

Guarantees and Collateral. The indebtedness and other obligations under the Amended Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our restricted subsidiaries and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and those of each domestic guarantor.

Voluntary Prepayments. We may voluntarily prepay the Amended Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs under certain conditions. Voluntary prepayments of the Amended Term Loan will be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by us. We may reduce the commitments under the Amended Revolver in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.

Covenants. The Amended Agreement contain customary covenants, including covenants that, under certain circumstances and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions: limit or restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness;

F-24

merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase certain debt; and enter into certain restrictive agreements.

In addition, we are required to comply with (a) a maximum ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 3.00 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the 12 months following a qualified acquisition), and (b) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (net of cash interest income) of 4.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2020, we had a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA of 2.05 to 1.00 and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 19.63 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Agreement as of December 31, 2020.

Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% depending on the leverage ratio, or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% depending on the leverage ratio. The interest rate under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2020 was 1.90%. We pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Amended Revolver ranging from 0.30% to 0.45%, depending on the leverage ratio.

Carrying Value and Fair Value. The fair value of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver approximates the carrying value as of December 31, 2020 because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest. The fair value is based on observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt.

NOTE 11

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to the risk that our earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted due to fluctuations in interest rates. To manage this risk, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps in which we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between variable and fixed interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional amount. Derivative instruments are not used for trading purposes or to manage exposure to changes in interest rates for investment securities, and our outstanding derivative instruments do not contain credit risk related contingent features. Collateral is generally not required.

The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are determined using the income approach based on a discounted cash flow model to determine the present value of future cash flows over the remaining term of the contract incorporating observable market inputs such as prevailing interest rates as of the reporting date (Level 2). Changes in fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We reclassify the effective gain or loss from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, to interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income as the interest expense is recognized on the related debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap, if any, is recognized directly in earnings in interest expense.

Our interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges. The contracts, with a notional amount totaling $48.1 million at December 31, 2020 and expiration dates through November 2022, are recorded at fair value.

The following table summarizes the amount at fair value and location of the derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020:

F-25

By utilizing interest rate swaps, we are exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, we entered into the interest rate swap with a major financial institution based upon credit ratings and other factors. We regularly assess the creditworthiness of the counterparty. As of December 31, 2020, the counterparty to the interest rate swap had performed in accordance with its contractual obligations. Both the counterparty credit risk and our credit risk were considered in the fair value determination.

Net interest rate derivative losses of $0.9 million, less than $0.1 million, and approximately $0.2 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income during 2020, 2019, and 2018 respectively. We expect $1.0 million of existing interest rate swap losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2020 to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Foreign Currency Derivative Instrument

We transact business in various foreign countries and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that impacts the reported U.S. dollar amounts of revenues, costs, and certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in cash flows and earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we entered into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. By policy, we do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation. As of December 31, 2020, we had economically hedged certain portions of our foreign currency risk in anticipated transactions using derivative instruments with expiration dates through September 2021.

Counterparty default risk is considered low because the forward contracts that we entered into are over-the-counter instruments transacted with highly-rated financial institutions. We were not required to, and did not, post collateral as of December 31, 2020.

Our foreign currency derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are determined using the income approach based on a discounted cash flow model to determine the present value of future cash flows over the remaining term of the contract incorporating observable market inputs such as prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as of the reporting date (Level 2).

Forward contracts entered into after December 31, 2017 were designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We reclassify the effective gain or loss from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, within selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income as the forward contracts are settled. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the forward contracts, if any, is recognized directly in earnings in selling, general and administrative expense. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we classify cash flows from foreign currency derivative instruments at settlement in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged item, generally within cash provided by operating activities.

Net foreign currency derivative losses of $0.1 million, $0.6 million, and less than $0.1 million were recognized in selling, general and administrative expense, during 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. We expect $0.4 million of existing foreign currency forward contract gains reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2020 to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes the amount at fair value and location of the derivative instruments used for our forward contract hedges in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020.

LEASES

We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office space, apartments, vehicles, and machinery and equipment. Our operating leases have lease terms of less than one year to ten years.

We do not separate lease components from non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, property taxes, and insurance) but account for both components in a contract as a single lease component.

The components of lease expense are as follows:


	Year Ended
(In thousands)	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019

Operating lease expense	$	6,952	$	14,747
Variable lease expense	736		713

Additional ROU assets from operating lease arrangements of $11.4 million were recognized as non-cash asset additions during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases at December 31, 2020 were 4.5 years and 4.5%, respectively.

NOTE 13

INCOME TAXES

We determine the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred income taxes represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not establish or release an additional valuation allowance.

The sources of pre-tax income and the components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are as follows:


(in thousands)	2020			2019			2018

Unrecognized tax benefits-December 31,	$	7,411	$	7,945	$	1,755

As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions were $7.4 million, $7.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. It is possible that the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $0.5 million during the next 12 months in connection with the resolution of various matters.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Vectrus performed a functional transfer pricing analysis focusing on the U.S. and non-U.S. roles and support activities relating to the Vectrus programs for services being provided to U.S. military bases that are located in foreign countries. Based on this analysis, the Company determined $7.1 million of federal and state FDII benefit should be recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. The amount of the full benefit recognized in 2020 was $2.6 million, $2.5 million, and $2.0 million related to December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company continues to reserve a portion of the FDII benefit.

We classify interest relating to tax matters as a component of interest expense and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Company recognized interest related to tax matters of $0.0 million, $0.2 million, and $0.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company has accrued $0.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020, and 2019.

In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of December 31, 2020, we have not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on the excess of the

F-29

amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that is indefinitely reinvested. Generally, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability related to investments in these foreign subsidiaries.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2017.

The Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (i) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to global intangible low taxed income (GILTI) as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (ii) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). We have chosen to account for GILTI under the period cost method as an accounting policy, and therefore the anticipated future expense associated with GILTI is not reflected in our financial statements.

At December 31, 2020, the Company has NOL carryforwards for German federal income tax purposes of $5.5 million all of which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, and are carried forward indefinitely.

NOTE 14

POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor two defined contribution savings plans, which allow employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines. The Company matches a percentage of eligible employee contributions up to certain limits of employee base pay. Our portion of the matching contributions charged to income amounted to $6.5 million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company participates in multiemployer pension plans for certain employees in the United States covered by collective bargaining agreements. Contributions are based on specified hourly rates for eligible hours. Company contributions to these plans were $3.0 million, $4.9 million and $4.8 million during 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decrease in 2020 resulted from the cessation of a subcontract in September of 2020 which accounted for over 90% of our total contributions for 2018, 2019 and the first nine months of 2020. The Company is unaware of any significant future obligations or funding requirements related to these plans other than the ongoing contributions that are paid as hours are worked by plan participants. None of these multiemployer pension plans are individually significant to the Company.

On September 11, 2014, our Board of Directors adopted and approved the Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan (the Excess Savings Plan). Since federal law limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts to our tax-qualified plans, we established the Excess Savings Plan to allow for Company contributions based on an eligible employee's base salary in excess of these limits. No employee contributions are permitted. All balances under the Excess Savings Plan are maintained on the books of the Company and credits and deductions are made to the accumulated savings under the plan based on the earnings or losses attributable to a stable value fund as defined in the Excess Savings Plan. Benefits will be paid in a lump sum generally in the seventh month following the date on which the employee's separation from service occurs. Employees are 100% vested at all times in any amounts credited to their accounts. As of both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accrued $0.1 million of contributions under the Excess Savings Plan.

The Company has an amended and restated Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (the Amended Plan) that has been effective since 2016. Termination benefits offered under the Amended Plan are other post employment benefits as defined by ASC 712-10 - Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. Benefits under the Amended Plan vest or accumulate with the employee’s years of service; however, the payment of benefits is not probable and the Company does not have the ability to reliably estimate when there will be an involuntary termination without cause under the Amended Plan. Accordingly, the Company does not accrue a benefit obligation for severance costs under the Amended Plan over the duration of executive employment.

NOTE 15

AGREEMENTS WITH FORMER PARENT

Following the Spin-off, Vectrus and our Former Parent began operating independently of each other, and neither has any ownership interest in the other. In order to govern certain ongoing relationships between Vectrus and our Former Parent following the Spin-off and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, on September 27, 2014, Vectrus and our Former Parent executed various agreements that govern the ongoing relationships between the companies after the Spin-off and provide for the allocation of employee benefits, income taxes, and certain other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the Spin-off. The executed agreements include a Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, and Technology License Agreement.

NOTE 16

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to employment matters, matters in connection with our contracts and matters arising under laws relating to the protection of the environment. Additionally, U.S. government customers periodically advise the Company of claims and penalties concerning certain potential disallowed costs. When such findings are presented, Vectrus and the U.S. government representatives engage in discussions to enable Vectrus to evaluate the merits of these claims as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect probable losses related to the matters raised by the U.S. government representatives. Such assessments, along with any assessments regarding provisions for legal proceedings, are reviewed on a quarterly basis for sufficiency based on the most recent information available to us. We have estimated and accrued $11.7 million and $12.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for legal proceedings and for claims with respect to our government contracts as discussed below, including years where the U.S. government has not completed its incurred cost audits. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter or claim cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal or contractual claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.

Legal Proceedings

As a result of final indirect rate negotiations between the U.S. government and our Former Parent, we may be subject to potential adjustments to costs previously allocated by our Former Parent to our business, which was formerly Exelis’ Mission Systems Business, from 2007 through 2014. We have recently been in discussions with our Former Parent regarding the negotiated adjustments from 2007-2014 and believe that our potential cumulative liability for these years is insignificant. In June 2019, the U.S. government provided us with the Contracting Officers Final Decision (COFD) for the years 2007-2010 related to Former Parent costs. In August 2019, we filed an appeal of the COFD with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA). Since October 2019, the ASBCA has granted Vectrus’ and the U.S. government’s joint requests to stay proceedings in the appeal, most recently through April 11, 2021, to enable ongoing discussions regarding the matter between Vectrus and our Former Parent. In June 2020, the U.S. government provided us with the COFD for 2013 related to Former Parent costs. In September 2020, we filed an appeal of this COFD to the ASBCA and sought a deferral of payment. In addition, we filed a motion to consolidate both appeals. The ASBCA granted our motion to consolidate. We believe we are fully indemnified under our Distribution Agreement with our Former Parent and have notified our Former Parent of our appeal of the U.S governments decision in this matter. We believe the amount of indemnity required is insignificant.

U.S. Government Contracts, Investigations and Claims

We have U.S. government contracts that are funded incrementally on a year-to-year basis. Changes in government policies, priorities or funding levels through agency or program budget reductions by the U.S. Congress or executive agencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, our contracts with the U.S. government may be terminated or suspended by the U.S. government at any time, with or without cause. Such contract suspensions or terminations could result in unreimbursable expenses or charges or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Departments and agencies of the U.S. government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory or treble damages. U.S. government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracts or the loss of export privileges for a company or an operating division or subdivision. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on U.S. government contracts.

U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and others, routinely audit and review our performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing

F-31

practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. Accordingly, costs billed or billable to U.S. government customers are subject to potential adjustment upon audit by such agencies. The U.S. government agencies also review the adequacy of our compliance with government standards for our business systems, including our accounting, earned value management, estimating, materials management and accounting, purchasing, and property management systems.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world have taken unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, social distancing guidelines, and restrictions on employees going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic impacts of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets. The Company has observed some disruptions on its operations due to government delays related to the global pandemic. While the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts the Company’s future results will depend on future developments, the pandemic and associated economic impacts could result in a material impact to the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 17

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains an equity incentive plan, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of May 13, 2016 (the 2014 Omnibus Plan), to govern awards granted to Vectrus employees and directors, including nonqualified stock options (NQOs), restricted stock units (RSUs), total shareholder return (TSR) awards and other awards. We account for NQOs and stock-settled RSUs as equity-based compensation awards. TSR awards, described below, and cash-settled RSUs are accounted for as liability-based compensation awards.

The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Omnibus Plan is 2.6 million shares. As of December 31, 2020, there were 0.9 million shares remaining available for future awards.

Stock-based compensation expense and the associated tax benefits impacting our Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Compensation costs for equity-based awards	$	5,558	$	4,426
Compensation costs for liability-based awards	3,887		3,836
Total compensation costs, pre-tax	$	9,445	$	8,262
Future tax benefit	$	2,040	$	1,792

Liability-based awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in fair value. The Company paid $2.4 million and $0.8 million related to liability-based compensation awards during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation costs related to equity-based awards and liability-based awards were $5.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which are expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of 1.51 years and 1.58 years, respectively.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

NQOs vest in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

A summary of the status of our NQOs as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $49.72 per share on December 31, 2020, which would have been received by the option holders if all option holders had exercised their options as of that date. There were no exercisable options "out of the money" as of December 31, 2020. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $0.1 million, $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of Vectrus common stock on the date of the grant. In general, under the 2014 Omnibus Plan, for employee RSUs granted in 2014 and after, one-third of the award vests on each of the three anniversary dates following the grant date. Director RSUs are granted on the date of the annual meeting and vest the business day immediately prior to the next annual meeting. RSUs have no voting rights. If an employee leaves the Company prior to vesting, whether through resignation or termination for cause, the RSUs are forfeited. If an employee retires or is terminated by the Company other than for cause, all or a pro rata portion of the RSUs may vest.

The total grant date fair value of RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $4.6 million, $4.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

On August 11, 2020, our total outstanding 15,839 CRSUs were exchanged for 15,839 RSUs. As of the exchange date, both the CRSUs and RSUs had the same vesting conditions, fair value of $52.28, and unrecognized compensation expense of $0.4 million.

Total Shareholder Return Awards

TSR awards are performance-based cash awards that are subject to a three-year performance period. Any payments earned are made in cash following completion of the performance period according to the achievement of specified performance goals. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, we granted TSR awards with aggregate target TSR values of $3.1 million, $2.5 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. The fair value of TSR awards is measured quarterly and is based on the Company’s performance relative to the performance of the Aerospace and Defense Companies in the S&P 1500 Index. Depending on the Company’s performance during the three-year performance period, payments can range from 0% to 200% of the target value.
