Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events In January 2019, we acquired 100% of the equity of two privately held companies, both named 1st Choice Aerospace Inc. (collectively, "1st Choice Aerospace"), that specialize in maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services for new generation and legacy commercial aircraft families. 1st Choice Aerospace will operate as a combined group under our subsidiary VSE Aviation, Inc. to expand our sustainment services into the aviation supply chain market. We have retained key members of 1st Choice Aerospace's management team under three-year employment contracts with five-year non-compete covenants. The aggregate initial cash purchase price for 1st Choice Aerospace was approximately $112 million (subject to working capital adjustments) which was funded under our existing bank revolving loan. We will also be required to make earn-out payments to the sellers of 1st Choice Aerospace of up to $40 million if 1st Choice Aerospace meets certain financial targets during 2019 and 2020. We incurred approximately $569 thousand of acquisition-related expenses as of December 31, 2018 which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to account for the 1st Choice Aerospace acquisition as a business combination.
