Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

VSE Corporation (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries), "VSE," the "Company," "us," "we," or "our" is a leading provider of aftermarket parts distribution and maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services for air and land transportation assets for commercial and government markets. We operate intwo reportable segments aligned with our operating segments: Aviation and Fleet.

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 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, 2023 ("2023 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 months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

In February 2024, we entered into two separate agreements to sell substantially all of the Federal and Defense segment assets. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" for further information. The consolidated financial statements reflect the Federal and Defense segment's results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2023.

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 operating results are included in our Aviation segment beginning on the acquisition date. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of Precision Fuel, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Desser Aerospace

On July 3, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Desser Holding Company LLC ("Desser Aerospace"), a global aftermarket solutions provider of specialty distribution and MRO services. We purchased Desser Aerospace for a preliminary cash consideration of $133.7 million, which included $9.5 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (subject to post-closing adjustments). Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, we immediately sold, in a separate transaction, Desser Aerospace’s propriety solutions businesses to Loar Group Inc. (“Loar”) for a cash consideration of $31.8 million, which included $1.8 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment (the “Loar Sale”).

The purchase price for Desser Aerospace was allocated on a preliminary basis, among assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, at fair value based on the best available information on the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values of the non-financial assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, were determined based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations utilizing established industry valuation techniques. We have not yet finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, working capital and income taxes. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes to the Desser Aerospace opening balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2024, we adjusted the purchase price allocation as a result of certain measurement period adjustments to acquired assets and liabilities assumed due to updated valuation reports received from our external valuation specialist. The measurement period adjustment resulted in a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $0.7 million with a corresponding decrease in goodwill of $0.7 million.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Receivables$7,383
Inventories31,112
Prepaid expenses and other current assets515
Property and equipment2,527
Intangibles - customer related21,950
Goodwill55,012
Operating lease right-of-use-assets6,680
Total assets acquired125,179
Accounts payable(10,128)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities(5,793)
Long-term operating lease obligations(5,937)
Deferred tax liabilities(3,638)
Total liabilities assumed(25,496)
Net assets acquired, excluding cash$99,683
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired$101,870
Estimated post-close adjustment(2,187)
Total$99,683

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Desser Aerospace reflects the strategic advantage of expanding our specialty distribution and MRO services to new customers. The value attributed to goodwill and customer relationships is not fully deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated value attributed to the customer relationship intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis using a weighted average useful life of 8.5 years.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations for Desser Aerospace and VSE Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations are as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31,
20242023
Revenue$241,539$212,500
Income from continuing operations$12,100$9,353

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented above has been prepared from historical financial statements that have been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Desser Aerospace as though it had occurred on January 1, 2023 and includes adjustments for intangible asset amortization; interest expense and debt issuance costs on long-term debt; acquisition and other transaction costs; and certain costs allocated from the former parent. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

Honeywell Fuel Control Systems

On September 27, 2023, our Aviation segment entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International Inc., for a purchase price of $105.0 million, to exclusively manufacture, sell, market, distribute, and repair certain Honeywell fuel control systems (the "Honeywell FCS Acquisition"). The purchase price of this acquisition was funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This agreement expands existing distribution and MRO capabilities supporting certain Honeywell’s fuel control systems and associated subcomponents.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated on a preliminary basis, among assets acquired, at fair value based on the best available information on the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values of the non-financial assets acquired were determined based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations utilizing established industry valuation techniques. We have not yet finalized the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition due to the fact that while legal control has occurred, we have not received physical possession of the prepaid inventory and property and equipment, and thus these assets will be subject to settlement adjustments upon transfer as outlined in the Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell. Therefore, the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition is preliminary until we obtain final information regarding their fair values, which could potentially result in changes in the fair values and an adjustment to goodwill. There were no changes in the preliminary purchase price allocation for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The adjusted preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Other current assets (a)$12,000
Property and equipment2,714
Intangible assets16,200
Goodwill74,086
Total assets acquired$105,000
Cash consideration$105,000
Total consideration$105,000
(a) Represents prepaid inventory consisting of finished goods acquired but not in our physical possession as of the acquisition date.

The pro-forma impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company’s results of operations.

(3)Discontinued Operations

In February 2024, we entered intotwo separate agreements to sell substantially all the Federal and Defense segment's operational assets ("FDS Sale") for a cash consideration of $44.0 million, including amounts in escrow, subject to post-closing adjustments. The FDS Sale is consistent with our long-term strategic growth strategy focused on higher margin and higher growth aftermarket parts distribution and MRO businesses.

We recorded a pre-tax loss on the FDS sale of $12.7 million and transaction fees of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

The components of (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, consist of the following (in thousands):

Certain assets and liabilities previously reported as held-for-sale were excluded from the FDS sale and were reclassified as held and used, at their respective fair values, on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. The reclassification primarily related to our Alexandria, VA headquarters and consisted of an operating lease right-of-use-asset of $7.1 million, property and equipment of $2.6 million and an operating lease obligation of $11.0 million.

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 months ended March 31, 2024, we reclassified $1.2 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. We estimate that we will reclassify $3.5 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following March 31, 2024.

-15-

(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. The antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted per share calculation are not material.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

Three months ended March 31,
20242023
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding15,783,91512,844,458
Effect of dilutive shares156,03581,966

(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 condition, 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.

(9)Business Segments

The sale of our Federal and Defense segment allows us to focus on a long-term strategic growth strategy focused on higher margin and higher growth aftermarket parts distribution and MRO businesses. Following the sale of our Federal and Defense segment, management of our business operations is conducted undertwo reportable operating segments:

Aviation

Our Aviation segment provides aftermarket MRO and distribution services to commercial, business and general aviation, cargo, military and defense, and rotorcraft customers globally. Core services include parts distribution, MRO services including engine components and accessories, fuel controls, avionics, pneumatics, hydraulics, wheel and brake, and rotable exchange and supply chain services.

Fleet

Our Fleet segment provides parts, inventory management, e-commerce fulfillment, logistics, supply chain support and other services to support the commercial aftermarket medium- and heavy-duty truck market, and the United States Postal Service ("USPS"). Core services include vehicle parts distribution, sourcing, IT solutions, customized fleet logistics, warehousing, kitting, just-in-time supply chain management, alternative product sourcing, and engineering and technical support.

We evaluate segment performance based on consolidated revenues and operating income. Net sales of our business segments exclude inter-segment sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation. Corporate expenses are primarily selling, general and administrative expenses not allocated to segments. Our segment information is as follows (in thousands):

(11)Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Amounts Recorded at Fair ValueFinancial Statement ClassificationFair Value HierarchyFair Value March 31, 2024Fair Value December 31, 2023
Non-COLI assets held in Deferred Supplemental Compensation Plan(a)Other assetsLevel 1$609$594
Interest rate swapsOther assetsLevel 2$6,178$2,840
(a) Non-Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets held in our deferred supplemental compensation plan consist of equity funds with fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.

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 continuing operations was 19.3% and 24.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of prior year primarily due to excess stock compensation deduction recognized for tax purposes in connection with current year stock vesting.

(13)Subsequent Event

Acquisition of Turbine Controls, Inc

In April 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition Turbine Controls, Inc. ("TCI") pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement dated February 29, 2024. TCI is leading provider of aftermarket MRO support services for complex engine components, as well as engine and airframe accessories across commercial and military applications. Total consideration is approximately $120.0 million, comprising $110.0 million in cash and $10.0 million in shares of VSE common stock, subject to certain post-closing and working capital adjustments. The cash portion of the consideration was funded through a combination of cash on hand and additional borrowings under the revolving facility under our credit agreement. TCI will be reported within our Aviation segment. It is not practical to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation given the short period of time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $1.6 million of acquisition-related expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Credit Agreement Amendment

On April 23, 2024, VSE Corporation entered into a Seventh Amendment with Citizen's Bank, N.A., and certain other banks and financial institutions to amend its credit agreement to provide flexibility for the Company to enter into certain accounts receivables factoring arrangements, including arrangements assumed in connection with the acquisition of Turbine Controls, Inc.
