Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
VSE Corporation, through its subsidiaries (collectively, "VSE" or the "Company"), is a leading provider of aftermarket distribution and maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services for air transportation assets for commercial and government markets. The Company operates as a single reportable segment aligned with the Company's operating segment.
Recent Developments
PAG Acquisition
On May 5, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Precision Aviation Group (“PAG”), a portfolio company of GenNx360 Capital Partners. PAG is a leading global provider of aviation aftermarket MRO, distribution, and supply chain services supporting commercial, business and general aviation (“B&GA”), rotorcraft, and defense markets, with a diversified customer base and broad component and engine service capabilities (such acquisition, the “PAG Acquisition”). See Note (5) "Debt" and (14) “Subsequent Events” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Credit Agreement Amendment
In connection with the completed stock purchase agreement to acquire PAG, the Company entered into an amended agreement with certain financial institutions on May 5, 2026 to provide new senior secured financing, which consists of a $900.0 million term loan B facility and an upsize of the Company's existing revolving facility from $400.0 million to $500.0 million. As part of the amended agreement, the Company paid off its existing Term Loan A Facility in full. See Note (5) “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Underwritten Public Offerings
In February 2026, the Company completed concurrent underwritten public offerings of (i) 4,587,766 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $188.00 per share (the “Common Stock Offering”) and (ii) 9,200,000 5.750% tangible equity units, each with a stated value of $50.00 (the “Units Offering,” and together with the Common Stock Offering, the “Offerings”). The Common Stock Offering closed on February 4, 2026, and the Units Offering closed on February 5, 2026. Net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion were received by the Company, which were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the PAG Acquisition. See Note (13) “Common Stock and Tangible Equity Unit Public Offerings” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Business Trends
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered record results driven by strong execution on new and existing distribution awards, expansion of product offerings and MRO capabilities, increased end-market demand, and contributions from recent acquisitions. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $324.6 million, representing a 27% increase year-over-year.
Market growth and share gains drove increases in repair and distribution revenue of 28% and 26%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period. Growth was supported by several strategic initiatives, including the execution of newly awarded distribution agreements, expansion of repair capabilities through increased capacity, and continued advancement of the Company’s OEM licensed manufacturing program. These initiatives have further strengthened the Company’s position in the aviation aftermarket, while deeper OEM partnerships have expanded access to new markets and established customer bases.
Recent acquisitions, including Turbine Weld in May 2025 and Aero 3 in December 2025, are aligned with the Company’s core strategy and have increased exposure to the high-growth, higher-margin commercial MRO and distribution aftermarket.

Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily driven by contributions from the acquisitions of Turbine Weld and Aero 3, recently initiated distribution contract wins and improved demand for the Company's commercial aerospace products and services resulting from strong end market activity in global commercial air travel. Distribution revenue increased $41.8 million, or 26%, and repair revenue increased $26.7 million, or 28%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Operating Income. Operating income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by revenue growth and a favorable shift in sales mix and pricing. The increase was partially offset by increased costs and operating expenses driven by higher revenue and an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest (Income) Expense, net. Net interest income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to interest income earned on excess cash proceeds from the February 2026 underwritten public offerings and on a note receivable. The increase was further driven by lower borrowings under the Company's debt facilities and a reduction in the average interest rate on borrowings outstanding, which together decreased interest expense.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations was 14.9% and 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company's 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 the Company's statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and its effective tax rate. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by a higher impact from the excess stock compensation deduction on the current year's rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The Company's internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in the 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 liquidity. Inventory and accounts payable levels can be affected by the timing of large opportunistic inventory purchases and by distributor agreement requirements. Accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the level of work performed and by the timing of large purchases. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect the Company's overall management of liquidity include capital expenditures and investments in the acquisition of businesses.
The Company's primary external financing sources are the capital markets and its credit agreement, which includes a $300.0 million term loan and a revolving facility with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $400.0 million as of March 31, 2026, both maturing on May 2, 2030. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, outstanding borrowings under the credit

Table of Contents
agreement decreased $1.9 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $294.4 million outstanding under the term loan, $0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, and $399.3 million in unused commitments.
In February 2026, the Company completed the Common Stock Offering and the Units Offering that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion, which were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the PAG Acquisition. See Note (13) “Common Stock and Tangible Equity Unit Public Offerings” to the consolidated financial statements for further information. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $72.0 million in outstanding principal obligations related to the tangible equity units.
The Company believes its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with its cash flows from operations and debt instruments under its credit agreement mentioned above, will provide sufficient liquidity for business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital requirements associated with its business operations over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Cash used in operating activities increased $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a greater use of cash for inventory purchases, partially offset by higher net income from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash expenses.
Cash used in investing activities increased $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by $16.0 million in purchases of intangible assets, $5.4 million in cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, a $3.6 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, and $2.7 million in prior year proceeds from the sale of the Federal and Defense segment. Refer to Note (2) "Acquisitions", Note (3) "Discontinued Operations", and Note (10) "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Cash provided by financing activities increased $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to $1.3 billion of net proceeds received from the Company's February 2026 Common Stock Offering and Units Offering, partially offset by higher net repayments of the Company's credit facilities of $36.4 million during the current period and higher tax payments for equity transactions of $4.7 million.
The Company paid cash dividends totaling $2.3 million or $0.10 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, payment of cash dividends are subject to annual restrictions. The Company has paid cash dividends annually since 1973.

Revenues. Revenues increased driven by contributions from recent acquisitions, recently initiated distribution contract wins and improved demand for the Company's commercial aerospace and business and general aviation products and services. Increased revenues were supported by strong end market conditions, reflecting sustained activity in air travel. Aviation distribution revenue increased $221.1 million or 46% and repair revenue increased $104.9 million or 35%.
Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased primarily as a result of increased revenues. Costs and operating expenses include intangible asset amortization expense, which increased to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $17.6 million for prior year period, due to recent acquisitions. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $29.2 million charge related to the fair value remeasurement of the earn-out receivable associated with the Fleet Sale.

Operating Income. Operating income increased primarily attributable to revenue growth and the non-recurrence of certain one-time charges incurred in the prior year, including net lease abandonment charges of $12.2 million and corporate restructuring charges of $4.2 million. The operating income increase was partially offset by higher intangible asset amortization expense, a charge related to the fair value remeasurement of the earn-out receivable, and increased corporate acquisition and integration costs incurred during the current period.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a reduction in the Company's average borrowings under its debt facilities and a lower average interest rate on outstanding borrowings during the period. In addition, interest income earned on the utilization of excess cash proceeds from the October 2025 underwritten public offering and on the note receivable further contributed to the overall decrease in interest expense.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for continued operations was 22.5% in 2025 compared to 18.5% in 2024. The higher tax rate in 2025 was primarily attributable to the reduced impact from favorable permanent adjustments, such as foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") and excess stock tax benefits, due to higher pre-tax book income in 2025, as well as adjustments to a tax settlement payment associated with a foreign subsidiary that is in the process of dissolution.
The Company's tax rate is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year. In addition to state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and permanent book-tax differences such as foreign derived intangible income deduction, I.R.C. Section 162(m) executive compensation limitation and unrealized investment income or loss from the Company's COLI plan caused differences between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate.
Financial Condition
There has been no material adverse change in the Company's financial condition in 2025. The Company's outstanding borrowings under the Company's term loan and revolving facility decreased $136.3 million, and the Company had $399.4 million of unused commitments under the credit agreement as of December 31, 2025. Changes to other asset and liability accounts were primarily due to the Company's earnings; the level of business activity; the sale of the Fleet segment; the timing and level of inventory purchases to support new distribution programs, vendor payments required to perform work; and collections from customers.

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $58.0 million primarily due to higher net income from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash expenses.
Cash used in investing activities increased by $12.8 million primarily reflecting higher net cash paid for current year acquisitions of $111.0 million, partially offset by an increase in net cash proceeds from the sale of business segments of $98.8 million. See Note (2) "Acquisitions" and Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated financial statement for further information.
Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $26.0 million primarily due to higher net repayments of the Company's debt during the current period of $135.8 million, partially offset by increased proceeds of $116.2 million from the issuance of common stock compared to the prior year.

The Company paid cash dividends totaling $8.3 million, or $0.40 per share, in 2025. Pursuant to the Company's credit agreement, payment of cash dividends is subject to annual restrictions. The Company has paid cash dividends each year since 1973.
Liquidity
The Company's internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in the Company's level of revenues and associated inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and from profitability. Significant increases or decreases in these operating activities can affect the Company's liquidity. Inventory and accounts payable levels can be affected by the timing of large opportunistic inventory purchases and by distributor agreement requirements. Accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the level of work the Company performs and by the timing of large purchases. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect the Company's overall management of liquidity include capital expenditures, divestitures, and investments in the acquisition of businesses.
On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a new credit agreement, which provides for a $300 million term loan facility and a $400 million revolving credit facility, both maturing on May 2, 2030. The new debt agreement provides a lower interest rate, greater flexibility and increased borrowing capacity. See Note (7) “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
The Company's outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement decreased approximately $136.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the revolving facility, principally from the utilization of proceeds from the Fleet Sale and the Company's October 2025 underwritten public offering. See Note (3) "Discontinued Operations" and Note (15) "Capital Stock", respectively, for further information. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its term loan of $296.3 million, outstanding letters of credit of $0.6 million, and $399.4 million of unused commitments under the credit agreement.
In October 2025, the Company initiated a public offering of its common stock that resulted in net proceeds of $441.6 million, which were used to finance the cash consideration for the Aero 3 acquisition and general corporate purposes, including repaying outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving facility. See Note (15) "Capital Stock" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
The Company believes its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with its cash flows from operations and debt instruments under its credit agreement mentioned above, will provide sufficient liquidity for business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital requirements associated with its business operations over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Other Obligations and Commitments
The Company's contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2025 include payments of interest on its debt facilities and operating lease obligations. See Note (7) "Debt" and Note (12) "Leases" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company's long-term debt obligations and future minimum lease payments on operating lease obligations, respectively.
The Company estimates cash requirements for interest payments on its debt facilities to be approximately $15.3 million for 2026, $14.8 million for 2027, $13.9 million for 2028, $12.8 million for 2029, and $4.1 million for 2030 when the Company's facilities mature. The estimates do not take into account future draw downs and repayments on the debt, the impact of interest rate swaps, or changes in the variable interest rate, and actual interest may be different. The estimates included variable rate interest obligations estimated based on rates as of December 31, 2025. The interest payments are estimated through the maturity date of the Company's term loan. Interest payments under the revolving facility have been excluded because a reasonable estimate of timing and amount of cash out flows cannot be determined.
Inflation and Pricing
The Company has experienced broad-based inflationary and tariff impacts consistent with overall trends in the aerospace industry, due primarily to increased materials, labor, and services costs. The effect of these increased costs on consolidated net income has been mitigated with improved efficiency in the Company's underlying business through productivity improvements and pass-through price increases. Given broader inflation in the economy, the Company is monitoring the risk inflation presents to active and future contracts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting estimates affect the more significant accounts, particularly those that involve judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Due to the significant judgment involved in selecting certain of the assumptions used in these estimates, it is possible that different parties could choose different assumptions and reach different conclusions. The Company considers estimates relating to the following matters to be critical accounting estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The unit of account in ASC 606 is a performance obligation. At the inception of each contract with a customer, the Company determines its performance obligations under the contract and the contract's transaction price. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer goods or services. Performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to customers.
Revenues result from the sale of aircraft parts and the performance of MRO services. The Company recognizes revenues for the sale of aircraft parts at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which usually occurs when the parts are shipped. The Company recognizes revenues for MRO services over time as the services are transferred to the customer. MRO services revenue recognition is measured based on the cost-to-cost input method, as costs incurred reflect the work completed, and therefore, the services transferred to date. Sales returns and allowances are not significant.
The Company has applied the practical expedient for parts sales and MRO services to exclude the amount of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected term of one year or less.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories consist primarily of aftermarket parts for distribution, and general aviation engine accessories and parts, and also include related purchasing, overhaul labor, storage and handling costs. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of inventory, considering factors such as its physical condition, sales patterns and demand in order to estimate the amount necessary to write down any slow moving, obsolete or damaged inventory. These estimates could vary significantly from actual amounts based on future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive factors that were not foreseen or did not exist when the estimated write-downs were made.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of each business acquired is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on information regarding their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and market multiples, among other items. The Company determines the fair values of intangible assets acquired generally in consultation with third-party valuation advisors. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires a number of judgments and is subject to revision as additional information about the fair values becomes available. The Company will recognize any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the period not to exceed twelve months from the acquisition date (the "measurement period") in which the adjustments are determined. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The results of operations of businesses acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from their dates of acquisition.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The Company recognizes purchased intangible assets in connection with business acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fourth quarter, or whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may initially qualitatively assess whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which is only required if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considered the totality of all relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. In the event the Company deems a quantitative impairment test necessary, the Company estimates and compares the reporting unit fair value to its respective carrying value including goodwill. The Company estimates the reporting unit fair value using a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and market approach. The analysis relies on significant judgments and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The carrying value of net deferred tax assets is based on assumptions regarding the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets are evaluated quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted.
