Vectrus Announces First Quarter 2017 Results

• | First quarter 2017 revenue $290.1 million and operating margin 4.0 percent

• | Total contract awards exceeded $800 million in the quarter

• | K-BOSSS extended through March 2018 with potential to March 2019

• | Successfully awarded Maxwell BOS and OPMAS-E re-competes in the quarter

• | Increased 2017 guidance for revenue, net income, diluted EPS, and net cash provided by operating activities

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 9, 2017 — Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced first quarter 2017 financial results. For the first quarter, revenue was $290.1 million, operating income was $11.6 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.60. Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.9 million in the first quarter 2017.
“We are off to a fast start in 2017, with a much improved operational and financial outlook,” said Chuck Prow, president and chief executive officer of Vectrus. “During the quarter, we were awarded a one year extension and additional option periods on the Kuwait Base Operations and Security Support Services (K-BOSSS) contract, which could extend our performance on the contract through March 2019.”
“I am also pleased to announce that we won all of our re-compete contracts scheduled to award in 2017,” Prow continued. “We were awarded the Maxwell Base Operations Support (Maxwell BOS) and the Operations Maintenance and Supply Europe (OPMAS-E) re-compete contracts, which have seven and five year potential durations, respectively. Overall, recent new business and re-compete wins, contract modifications and extensions have propelled our total backlog to $2.9 billion; the highest level since being a stand-alone public company.”
"Last quarter, we rolled out the foundation of a new strategy,” explained Prow. “Albeit very early in our strategic execution, recent contract wins and extensions reinforce the market receptivity to our approach. Additionally, we are proceeding at a good pace deploying Enterprise Vectrus to coalesce our Vectrus Improvement Programs and other enterprise improvement initiatives into a single enterprise wide management system."

Exhibit 99.1
First Quarter 2017 Results

• | Revenue $290.1 million

• | Operating income $11.6 million

• | Operating margin 4.0%

• | Diluted earnings per share $0.60

First quarter 2017 revenue of $290.1 million decreased $20.6 million or 6.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in revenue is attributable to lower activity from our Afghanistan programs of $20.2 million and our European programs of $3.2 million, offset by increases of $2.4 million from our U.S. programs and $0.4 million from our Middle East programs.
Operating income was $11.6 million or 4.0 percent operating margin in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $11.8 million or 3.8 percent operating margin in the first quarter of 2016.
First quarter 2017 diluted earnings per share were $0.60 compared to $0.61 in the first quarter 2016.
First quarter 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.9 million, an increase of $8.2 million compared to 2016. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 54 days in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 57 days in the first quarter of 2016.
“Our team’s dedicated focus on cash collections resulted in a significant year-over-year improvement in net cash provided by operating activities,” said Matt Klein, chief financial officer of Vectrus. “We continuously evaluate our cash collection processes and procedures for further improvement and I am proud of what we have accomplished so far.”
The Company ended the first quarter 2017 with a total debt balance of $81.5 million, which was down from $85.0 million at the end of 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (total leverage ratio) of 1.61x to 1.00x.
The Company ended the first quarter 2017 with total backlog of $2.9 billion and funded backlog of $0.9 billion.

Net income is now expected to be in the range of $18.7 million to $22.3 million, up from $17.0 million to $20.5 million. As a result, the range for diluted EPS changes to $1.68 to $2.00 per share, up from $1.53 to $1.83 per share. Net cash provided by operating activities is now expected to be in the range of $22 million to $28 million, up from $20 million to $26 million. Our operating margin guidance of 3.40 percent to 3.60 percent remains unchanged," said Klein.
