MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“VSE delivered an exceptional third quarter, achieving record revenue and profitability, approximately 17% organic revenue growth and strong cash generation,” said John Cuomo, President and Chief Executive Officer of VSE Corporation. “These results demonstrate the strength of our aviation aftermarket platform and outstanding execution by our teams. Broad-based demand, led by engine aftermarket activity in repair and distribution, drove strong core business performance alongside contributions from recent acquisitions. This momentum and our confidence in the remainder of the year support raising our full year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽³⁾ guidance.

“During the quarter, we expanded our proprietary engine repair capabilities through the acquisition of Atech Turbine Components (“Atech”) and advanced integration across the VSE and Precision Aviation Group (“PAG”) businesses. Our teams are pursuing joint commercial opportunities, bringing more repair work in-house, and improving operational efficiency across the combined platform. These efforts deepen our OEM partnerships, expand our addressable markets, broaden the solutions we offer customers, and support margin expansion.

“We see substantial opportunity ahead. Our engine-focused repair and parts portfolio, strong OEM relationships, and diversified end markets position us to build on this quarter’s performance. With a deep pipeline of organic growth opportunities and meaningful expected acquisition synergies ahead, we remain focused on delivering above-market growth, further margin expansion, and stronger free cash flow⁽³⁾ generation. We believe these priorities position VSE to deliver significant long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Cuomo.

“VSE’s record third quarter results demonstrate the earnings power and cash generation of the combined VSE and PAG platform,” said Adam Cohn, Chief Financial Officer of VSE Corporation. “Revenue increased 91.2% to $541.0 million, net income from continuing operations increased by $43.7 million to $47.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽³⁾ expanded approximately 310 basis points to a record 19.8%. We generated $56.0 million of operating cash flow and $46.6 million of free cash flow⁽³⁾, reflecting strong operating execution across the business. We ended the quarter with an Adjusted net leverage ratio⁽³⁾ of approximately 2.3x, a solid position following our recent acquisitions. We expect strong fourth quarter free cash flow⁽³⁾ to support continued deleveraging while maintaining the flexibility to invest in organic growth and pursue disciplined acquisitions.”

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

ATECH TURBINE COMPONENTS ACQUISITION

On August 31, 2026, VSE acquired Atech, a specialized maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) provider focused on complex hot-section components for aircraft turbine engines, primarily supporting Pratt & Whitney Canada platforms. Atech expands VSE’s proprietary, OEM-approved engine repair portfolio with repair approvals covering more than 300 part numbers, including sole-source repairs for flight-critical components. The acquisition deepens VSE’s relationship with Pratt & Whitney Canada and broadens the aftermarket solutions available to OEM partners and customers. VSE plans to expand Atech’s capacity and technical capabilities to accelerate the development of new proprietary repairs and support long-term organic growth.

THIRD QUARTER REVIEW

The Company's revenue increased 91.2% year-over-year to a record $541.0 million in the third quarter of 2026. Organic revenue growth was approximately 17%, led by strength in the commercial aviation engine aftermarket. Acquisitions contributed the remaining approximately 74 percentage points of revenue growth, driven by a full quarter impact from PAG and contributions from other acquisitions. Repair and distribution revenue increased 197.6% and 26.7%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.

Net income from continuing operations was $47.3 million, compared to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations⁽³⁾ increased by 126.3% to a record $107.2 million, compared to $47.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations⁽³⁾ reached a record 19.8%, expanding approximately 310 basis points. Margin expansion was driven primarily by a greater mix of higher-margin engine products and repair activity, synergies from previously acquired businesses, and contributions from recent acquisitions.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company generated $56.0 million of operating cash flow and $46.6 million of free cash flow⁽³⁾ in the third quarter of 2026. As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.8 million, with $479.2 million of unused commitments under the Company's revolving credit facility. Total outstanding principal borrowings were $978.8 million, and net debt⁽³⁾ was $894.2 million. The Company ended the quarter with an Adjusted net leverage ratio⁽³⁾ of approximately 2.3x.

UPDATED FULL YEAR 2026 CONSOLIDATED GUIDANCE

REVENUE

VSE now expects full year 2026 revenue growth of 65% to 66.5%, up from its prior outlook of 61% to 64%. The increased guidance reflects strong third quarter performance and a positive outlook for the remainder of the year, supported by continued strength in both OEM and customer demand.

ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN⁽³⁾

VSE now expects full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽³⁾ of 18.9% to 19.1%, up from its prior outlook of 18.7% to 19.0%. The increased guidance reflects strong third quarter margins, consistent operating execution, synergies from recent acquisitions, and expectations for continued strong business performance in the fourth quarter.

SUMMARY OF THIRD 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, Trailing Twelve Months ("TTM") Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, organic revenue growth, 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 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 from continuing operations adjusted for acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, other discrete items, and their related tax impact, which was calculated using an estimated statutory tax rate of 24.95% applied to all adjustments. Management believes these acquisition, integration and restructuring costs and other discrete items, which include divestiture-related restructuring costs, interest income on a note receivable, earn-out fair value adjustments, a loss on debt extinguishment, and debt issuance costs, provide useful information 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 from continuing operations, 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 net 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, net and income taxes, which are financing and tax 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. 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 Adjusted 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. Organic revenue growth is defined as the change in revenue compared to the prior-year period, excluding revenue from acquired businesses for the first twelve months following the date of acquisition. 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 and includes the results of both continuing and discontinued operations. 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. These measures are calculated as described in this release and differ from the Total Net Leverage Ratio as defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these non-GAAP measures, other than organic revenue growth, are included in the supplemental schedules attached. Organic revenue growth for the three months ended September 30, 2026 of 17% is calculated based on year-over-year revenue growth of 91.2%, less a 74 percentage point revenue contribution from acquired businesses. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA margin is presented as a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. 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 Adjusted EBITDA margin 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.
