MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"VSE delivered record revenue and profitability in the second quarter, underscoring the strength of our aviation-focused strategy and the continued momentum of our business transformation," said John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation. "This quarter was marked by significant progress, including the divestiture of our Fleet segment and the acquisition of Turbine Weld Industries, a highly specialized MRO service provider for complex engine components. These strategic actions, combined with the ongoing integration of recent acquisitions, have sharpened our focus, expanded our capabilities, and strengthened our position in the high-growth, high-margin aviation aftermarket."

Mr. Cuomo continued, "Our team continues to perform at a high level, delivering strong year-over-year sales growth and margin expansion, supported by robust end-market demand. Both our distribution and MRO businesses achieved record sales and profitability during the quarter, and we remain well-positioned to sustain this momentum as we enter the second half of the year."

"VSE's second quarter results reflect continued operational discipline and strategic execution, with double-digit revenue growth, record margins, and positive free cash flow," said Adam Cohn, Chief Financial Officer of VSE Corporation. "Looking ahead, we are focused on driving improved free cash flow generation, optimizing our cost structure to support the streamlined aviation platform, and completing post-divestiture transition efforts."

SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Aviation segment revenue increased 41.1% year-over-year to a record $272.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year revenue improvement was attributable to strong execution of new and existing distribution awards, the addition of new product lines and repair capabilities, and contributions from recent acquisitions, supported by solid end-market demand. Aviation distribution and MRO revenue increased 50.4% and 27.3%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025, versus the prior-year period. The Aviation segment reported operating income of $35.1 million in the second quarter, compared to $24.5 million in the same period of 2024. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by 47.7% in the second quarter to a record $46.5 million, versus $31.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.1%, an increase of approximately 80 basis points versus the prior-year period.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company generated $12 million of operating cash flow and $6 million of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $333 million in cash and unused commitment availability under its $400 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2030. As of June 30, 2025, VSE had a total net debt outstanding of $362 million. Adjusted net leverage was approximately 2.2x as of the end of the second quarter.

GUIDANCE

VSE is reaffirming full-year 2025 revenue growth and increasing Aviation Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to the high-end of the previously provided range:

• Full-year 2025 revenue growth is expected to be 35% to 40%, as compared to the prior year, to reflect both current business performance and current year contributions from the TCI and Kellstrom acquisitions.
• Aviation segment full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be between 16.5% to 17%, an increase from the previous guidance range of 16% to 17%.
• Guidance does not assume further tariff escalation or a global recession.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Following the divestiture of the Fleet segment, the Company operates under a single reportable operating segment. The reconciliation below provides transitional disclosure of Aviation's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 to support comparability with prior period disclosures.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release also contains Non-GAAP financial measures. These measures provide useful information to investors, and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these Non-GAAP measures is included in the supplemental schedules attached.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EPS

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Free Cash Flow

Net Debt

Net Leverage Ratio

The non-GAAP Financial Information set forth in this document is not calculated in accordance with GAAP under SEC Regulation G. The Company considers Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS (Diluted), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA, TTM Adjusted EBITDA, TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted unallocated corporate costs, net debt, adjusted net leverage ratio and free cash flow as non-GAAP financial measures and important indicators of performance and useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate the business' ongoing operating performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income represents Net Income adjusted for acquisition-related costs, other discrete items, and related tax impact. Management believes these acquisition-related costs and other discrete items provide useful information about nonrecurring costs and benefits to help users meaningfully evaluate and compare the Company's quarterly and year-to-date performance against prior periods. Adjusted EPS (Diluted) is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and other amortization. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information about the Company's operating performance as it isolates non-cash depreciation and amortization charges as well as interest expense and income taxes, which are non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (as defined above) adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and discrete items as identified above. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA plus the pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. TTM Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as defined above for the trailing twelve months. TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA includes pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA for the trailing twelve months that is not included in historical results. Adjusted unallocated corporate costs represents Unallocated corporate costs before depreciation and other amortization, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and discrete items as identified above. Net debt is defined as principal amount of debt less debt issuance costs and less cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow represents operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Adjusted Net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt divided by trailing twelve month Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding Adjusted EBITDA margin. This non-GAAP financial measure is derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company's future financial results. This non-GAAP financial measure is a preliminary estimate and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the company's actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.
