VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2023
(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
VSE Corporation (“VSE,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for transportation assets to commercial and government markets.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Therefore, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K"). In our opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
On May 1, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Federal and Defense segment. The consolidated financial statements present the Federal and Defense segment's results of operations as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale for all periods presented. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Following the completion of the sale transaction, our operations are conducted under two operating segments: Aviation and Fleet.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to reflect discontinued operations classification. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include fair value measurements, inventory provisions, collectability of receivables, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.
(2) Acquisitions
Precision Fuel Components, LLC
On February 1, 2023, our Aviation segment acquired Precision Fuel Components, LLC ("Precision Fuel") for a purchase price of $11.7 million. Precision Fuel provides MRO services for engine accessory and fuel systems supporting the business and general aviation ("B&GA") market. Our acquisition of Precision Fuel expanded our MRO capabilities and client base. Precision Fuel operating results are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in net tangible assets of $3.1 million, goodwill of $4.8 million, and contract and customer-related intangible asset of $3.8 million, which is being amortized over a period of five years. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest rate swaps | $150,000 | 2.8% | 1-month term SOFR | Monthly through October 31, 2027 |
We are party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our floating rate debt. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reclassified $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. We estimate that we will reclassify $3.6 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following June 30, 2023.
(7) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards. There were no antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation.
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

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

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

(12) Income Taxes
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.
Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 24.0% and 24.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 28.6% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of prior year primarily due to book income in connection with the fair market value increase in our COLI plan in the period ended June 30, 2023 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to book expense in the same period in 2022.
(13) Subsequent Events
Desser Aerospace Acquisition
In July 2023, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Desser-Graham Partnership, L.P. ("Desser Aerospace"), pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement dated May 3, 2023, for a preliminary purchase price of $124.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, we sold, in a separate transaction, Desser Aerospace’s propriety solutions businesses to Loar Group Inc. (“Loar”) for cash consideration of $30.0 million (the “Loar Sale”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of acquisition-related expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Credit Agreement Amendment
In July 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment to our credit agreement which, among other things, provided for the following: (i) the extension of a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million, which will mature on the same date as the existing term loan; (ii) a reduction in our capacity to incur incremental revolving or term loan credit facilities from $100.0 million to $25.0 million; (iii) quarterly amortization payments for the new term loan in the amount of $2.25 million; (iv) an increase in the maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio from 4.50x to 5.00x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter; (v) the addition of a tier to the top of the pricing grid if the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 4.50x; and (vi) expressly permitting the Desser acquisition and the Loar Sale. The net proceeds received under the new term loan were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Desser Aerospace acquisition.
Interest Rate Swap Derivative
In July 2023, we executed a fixed interest rate swap that hedges the variability in interest payments on $100.0 million of floating rate debt. We have designated, and will account for, this fixed interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.
Underwritten Public Offering
In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of 2,475,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. Under the terms of the agreement, we granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 371,250 shares of common stock. The offering closed on July 24, 2023 and we received net proceeds of $112.7 million in connection with the offering, net of issuance costs.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
We are a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for transportation assets to commercial and government markets.
Recent Developments
Sale of Federal and Defense Segment
In May 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Federal and Defense business to Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP for a total consideration of up to $100.0 million, consisting of a $50.0 million cash payment at the closing of the transaction and an earn-out payment of up to $50.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones. The transaction is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, we determined that the criteria for discontinued operations presentation were met during the second quarter of 2023 and results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 for our Federal and Defense segment are reported in income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations and the carrying value of the related assets and liabilities are presented within assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Desser Aerospace Acquisition
In July 2023, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Desser-Graham Partnership, L.P. ("Desser Aerospace"), pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement dated May 3, 2023, for a preliminary purchase price of $124.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, we sold, in a separate transaction, Desser Aerospace’s propriety solutions businesses to Loar Group Inc. (“Loar”) for cash consideration of approximately $30.0 million (the “Loar Sale”). The acquisition was funded with proceeds from a new term loan (see Note (13) "Subsequent Events" - Credit Agreement Amendment for further information), together with proceeds from the Loar Sale and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Underwritten Public Offering
In July 2023, we initiated a public offering of the Company's common stock relating to the issuance and sale of 2,475,000 shares at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. The offering closed on July 24, 2023 and we received net proceeds of $112.7 million in connection with the offering, net of issuance costs. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and any remaining amounts for general corporate purposes.
Business Trends
The following discussion provides a brief description of some of the key business factors impacting our results of operations detailed by segment.
Aviation Segment
During the second quarter, our strong execution on new and existing distribution programs and increase in MRO activity produced positive results, with quarterly revenue reaching $124.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing a 19% increase year-over-year. Market growth and share gains have resulted in a 37% and 13% year-over-year increase in repair and distribution revenue, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period for the prior year. Our growth has been driven by several strategic initiatives, including the introduction of new products and service capabilities to our portfolio, further strengthening our position in the market. Additionally, expanding our partnerships with Original Equipment Manufacturers has provided us with a competitive edge, allowing successful entry into new markets with an established customer base. We believe our acquisition of Desser Aerospace in July 2023 will increase our exposure to the high-growth, higher-margin aviation distribution and MRO markets. We believe that the combination of Desser Aerospace’s distribution and repair capabilities with VSE Aviation’s aftermarket business creates a platform for geographic expansion into international markets and provides opportunities to cross-sell products and services.
-18-
Fleet Segment
During the second quarter, growth in our Fleet segment was driven by strong contributions from commercial fleet customers, e-commerce fulfillment volume, and the United States Postal Service ("USPS"). The strong performance in our USPS program is supported by the expansion of our installed base of vehicles and continued support of legacy vehicles. We have made significant progress in executing our revenue diversification strategy through the successful launch of our new e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center, including the completion of initial inventory investments. These strategic initiatives have been instrumental in our ability to capture new customers and drive revenue growth within e-commerce fulfillment. Our commercial revenues were 47% of total Fleet segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 40% for the same period in the prior year, demonstrating the continued success of our diversification strategy.

Revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to growth in our Aviation segment of $39.7 million and our Fleet segment of $24.1 million. See "Segment Operating Results" section below for further discussion of revenues by segment.
Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue. Costs and operating expenses for our operating segments increase and decrease in conjunction with the level of business activity and revenues generated by each segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for discussion of cost and operating expenses by segment.
Operating Income. Operating income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase of $9.3 million for our Aviation segment and $2.5 million for our Fleet segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment. The operating income increase attributable to our segments was partially offset by an increase in corporate costs, including acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.
Operating income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase of $17.4 million for our Aviation segment and an increase of $2.0 million for our Fleet segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment. The operating income increase attributable to our segments was partially offset by an increase in corporate costs, including acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a higher average interest rate on borrowings outstanding.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for continued operations was 24.0% and 24.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 28.6% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year, but may not be consistent from year to year. Permanent differences such as foreign derived intangible income deduction, Section 162(m) limitation, capital gains tax treatment, state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and other items caused differences between our statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate and our effective tax rate. The lower effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily resulted from book income in connection with the fair market value increase in our Company Owned Life Insurance plan in the period ended June 30, 2023 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to book expense in the same period in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in our level of revenues and associated inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and from profitability. Significant increases or decreases in revenues and inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable can affect our liquidity. Our inventory and accounts payable levels can be affected by the timing of large opportunistic inventory purchases and by distributor agreement requirements. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the level of work we perform and by the timing of large purchases. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include capital expenditures; and investments in the acquisition of businesses.
Our primary source of external financing is our credit agreement with a bank group and includes a term loan and a revolving facility, with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $350.0 million. Under the credit agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan, the revolving facility, or a combination of both, subject to customary lender commitment approvals. The aggregate limit of increases is $100.0 million. Our outstanding borrowings under the credit

agreement increased approximately $88.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we had borrowings outstanding under our term loan of $95.0 million, borrowings outstanding under our revolving facility of $282.0 million, outstanding letters of credit of $0.7 million, and $67.3 million of unused commitments under the credit agreement.
In July 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment to our credit agreement which, among other things, provided for the following: (i) the extension of a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million, which will mature on the same date as the existing term loan; (ii) a reduction in our capacity to incur incremental revolving or term loan credit facilities from $100.0 million to $25.0 million; (iii) quarterly amortization payments for the new term loan in the amount of $2.25 million; (iv) an increase in the maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio from 4.50x to 5.00x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter as indicated in the table below; (v) the addition of a tier to the top of the pricing grid if the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 4.50x; and (vi) expressly permitting the Desser acquisition and the Loar Sale. The net proceeds received under the new term loan were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Desser acquisition.

In July 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C and RBC Capital Markets, acting as representatives of several underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of 2,475,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $48.50 per share. Under the terms of the agreement, we granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 371,250 shares of common stock. The offering closed on July 24, 2023 and we received net proceeds of $112.7 million in connection with the offering, net of issuance costs.
We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with our cash flows from operations and debt instruments under our credit agreement mentioned above, will provide sufficient liquidity for our business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital requirements associated with our business operations over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our credit agreement provides available borrowing to us at variable interest rates. Our interest expense is impacted by the overall global economic and interest rate environment. The inflationary environment has also resulted in central banks raising short-term interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate changes could potentially put us at risk for a material adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows. To mitigate the risks associated with future interest rate movements we have employed interest rate hedges to fix the rate on a portion of our outstanding borrowings for various periods.
In July 2023, we executed a fixed interest rate swap that hedges the variability in interest payments on $100.0 million of floating rate debt.
For additional information related to our debt and interest rate swap agreements, see Note (5) and Note (6), respectively, to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report.
There have been no material changes to our market risks from those discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which require us to make estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant accounts, particularly those that involve judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including revenue recognition, inventory valuation, business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets, and income taxes. If any of these estimates, assumptions or judgments prove to be incorrect, our reported results could be materially affected. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See "Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note (1) "Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussions of our significant accounting policies and estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from those disclosed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
