MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“The second quarter marked a defining step forward for VSE as we completed the largest acquisition in our history and established a differentiated global aviation aftermarket platform,” said John Cuomo, President and Chief Executive Officer of VSE Corporation. “With our recent acquisitions of Precision Aviation Group ("PAG") and NorthStar Technologies ("NorthStar"), along with our legacy VSE Aviation businesses, we are positioning VSE to become the world’s leading independent provider of aftermarket distribution and repair services, while remaining firmly grounded in the OEM-centric strategy that has guided our transformation.

“The power of the combined platform is already evident in our financial performance. We delivered record revenue and profitability in the second quarter, exceeding our prior expectations and representing a significant step toward achieving a consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾ of more than 20% in the near future. Organic growth remained broad-based, supported by new business wins, expanded capabilities, market share gains, greater share of wallet on existing programs and continued strength across the aviation aftermarket.

“Integration is a core VSE capability and an important competitive differentiator. In the short time since closing on the PAG and NorthStar acquisitions, our teams have established clear business and integration plans and are already advancing tangible revenue and margin opportunities, including insourcing, joint sales initiatives, sales-channel alignment and operating efficiencies. We are confident in the combined strength of this platform. As integration progresses, we see meaningful synergy and margin expansion potential, further reinforcing our long-term growth strategy. The strength of our first-half performance, together with our visibility into the remainder of the year, supports our decision to raise both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾ guidance for 2026,” concluded Mr. Cuomo.

“VSE’s second quarter results reflect strong execution and operational discipline across the combined business,” said Adam Cohn, Chief Financial Officer of VSE Corporation. “In the second quarter and compared to the same period last year, revenue increased 65% to $449 million, net income from continuing operations increased 109% to $29 million, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations⁽²⁾ nearly doubled to $86 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations⁽²⁾ expanded approximately 320 basis points to a record 19.2%. We generated approximately $28 million of operating cash flow and $19 million of free cash flow⁽²⁾ in the second quarter, with an Adjusted Net Leverage⁽²⁾ ratio of approximately 2.4x. In addition, we expect stronger free cash flow⁽²⁾ generation in the second half of the year, providing increased financial flexibility as we execute our integration priorities and disciplined capital allocation strategy.”

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

PAG ACQUISITION

VSE completed its acquisition of PAG from GenNx360 Capital Partners on May 5, 2026, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.025 billion in cash and equity, the largest acquisition in VSE’s history. The addition of PAG materially expands VSE’s scale, global reach, proprietary content and repair capabilities across commercial, business and general aviation, rotorcraft, OEM and defense end markets. Integration is underway with clear workstreams focused on sales-channel alignment, systems, insourcing, joint commercial opportunities and other revenue and margin synergies across the combined platform.

NORTHSTAR ACQUISITION

VSE completed its acquisition of NorthStar on April 1, 2026, adding engine-related maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”), third-party logistics and engine component support to the Company’s aftermarket offering. NorthStar’s engine teardown, kitting and engine component-level service capabilities span multiple engine platforms and deepen VSE’s integration within OEM aftermarket supply chains. Since closing, VSE has rebranded the business as VSE Aviation Services, aligned its leadership structure and begun executing initiatives to expand its logistics and MRO capabilities.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

The Company's revenue increased 65.0% year-over-year to a record $449.1 million in the second quarter of 2026. Organic revenue growth was approximately 14%, driven by strength in the commercial engine aftermarket, new business wins, execution on new distribution agreements, expanded product and repair capabilities, market share gains and increased share of wallet on existing programs. The PAG, Aero 3, and NorthStar acquisitions also contributed to the year-over-year increase. Repair and distribution revenue increased 149.4% and 17.2%, respectively, versus the prior-year period. The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $28.5 million, compared to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations⁽²⁾ increased by 98.0% to a record $86.0 million, compared to $43.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations⁽²⁾ reached a record 19.2%, an increase of approximately 320 basis points, driven primarily by a greater mix of higher-margin product and repair activity, continued synergy realization from previously acquired businesses, and contributions from PAG.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company generated $27.6 million of operating cash flow and $18.7 million of free cash flow⁽²⁾ in the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $75.4 million in cash and approximately $500.0 million available under its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding was $966.7 million. Total net debt⁽²⁾ was $871.6 million and Adjusted net leverage⁽²⁾ was approximately 2.4x at quarter end. The Company anticipates stronger free cash flow⁽²⁾ generation in the second half of 2026, supporting continued deleveraging and disciplined investment in organic and inorganic growth opportunities.

UPDATED FULL YEAR 2026 CONSOLIDATED GUIDANCE

REVENUE

VSE is increasing its full year 2026 revenue guidance based on strong first-half performance, continued organic growth, and improved visibility into the second half of 2026. The Company is also encouraged by the demand environment and customer activity, reinforcing confidence in the strength and durability of the business. The Company now expects full year 2026 revenue growth of 61% to 64%, compared to its prior outlook of 57% to 61%.

ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN

VSE is also increasing its full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾ outlook based on record first-half profitability, continued operating execution, and the early benefits of integrating its recent acquisitions. The Company now expects full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾ in the range of 18.7% to 19.0%, compared to its prior outlook of 18.1% to 18.5%.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. These measures provide useful information to investors.

VSE considers Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EPS (Diluted) from Continuing Operations, EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations, Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, TTM Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, net debt, net leverage ratio, 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 VSE’s business's 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 from Continuing Operations represents Net Income adjusted for acquisition-related costs, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, 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) from Continuing Operations 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. Beginning with the second quarter of 2026, Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EPS (Diluted) from Continuing Operations now include adjustments for amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, with retrospective adjustments included for prior periods presented. Management believes these adjustments provide useful information to evaluate VSE's ongoing operating performance on a consistent basis. EBITDA from Continuing Operations represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and other amortization. Management believes EBITDA from Continuing Operations 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 from Continuing Operations represents EBITDA from Continuing Operations (as defined above) adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and discrete items as identified above. Adjusted EBITDA margin from Continuing Operations represents Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations as a percentage of revenue. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations represents Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations plus the pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA from Continuing Operations for the trailing twelve months. TTM Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations represents Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations as defined above for the trailing twelve months. TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations includes pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA from Continuing Operations for the trailing twelve months that is not included in historical results. TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations does not reflect all adjustments that would otherwise be required in connection with the preparation of pro forma financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. 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. Capital expenditures include purchases of property and equipment. Net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt divided by TTM Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. Adjusted Net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt divided by TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations.

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA margin is also presented as a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, defined as estimated operating income before depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue. This measure is based solely on information available to VSE as of the date of this earnings release and may differ materially from VSE’s actual operating results as a result of developments that occur after the date of this earnings release. 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, income amounts or anticipated synergies recognized in a given period. VSE is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking VSE Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations to net income because certain information regarding the Company’s provision for income taxes is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of net income at this time without unreasonable effort or expense. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s future financial results. Reconciliations 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. These non-GAAP measures, however, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
