MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"2025 was an exceptional and transformational year for VSE," said John Cuomo, President and Chief Executive Officer of VSE Corporation. "We completed our evolution to a pure-play aviation aftermarket company, delivered record Aviation revenue and profitability, surpassed $1 billion in Aviation revenue for the first time in our history, and strengthened our balance sheet. These results reflect disciplined execution and validate the strategy we have been advancing over the past several years."

"During the year, we sharpened our portfolio through the divestiture of our Fleet segment, expanded our engine and component capabilities through highly complementary acquisitions, advanced key OEM programs, increased MRO capacity, and accelerated integration activities across the platform. Each of these actions enhances our operating leverage, deepens our proprietary capabilities, and strengthens our competitive positioning in the global aviation aftermarket," Mr. Cuomo continued.

"Importantly, we enter 2026 with strong momentum. Our aviation-only platform is scaled and positioned to drive sustained organic growth, margin expansion, and improved cash generation. With continued operating plan execution, a focused emphasis on organic growth opportunities, completion of key business integrations, and the anticipated closing of the transformational Precision Aviation Group acquisition, we believe 2026 will represent another step-change year for VSE as we further expand our capabilities and create long-term shareholder value," concluded Mr. Cuomo.

"Our 2025 performance was driven by above-market revenue growth, expanding margins, and strong cash generation," said Adam Cohn, Chief Financial Officer of VSE Corporation. "We generated $27 million of operating cash flow and $6 million of free cash flow for the full year, reflecting disciplined working capital management, portfolio optimization, and synergy realization from recent acquisitions. We ended the year with an adjusted net leverage ratio of approximately 1.1x, underscoring the strength of our balance sheet and the earnings power of our aviation platform. As we move forward with the anticipated closing of the Precision Aviation Group acquisition, we remain committed to prudent capital allocation, conservative leverage, and maintaining ample financial flexibility to support continued growth."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

PRECISION AVIATION GROUP ACQUISITION

• On January 29, 2026, VSE announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Precision Aviation Group, Inc. ("PAG"), a portfolio company of GenNx360 Capital Partners. PAG is a leading global provider of aviation aftermarket maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services, distribution, and supply chain solutions serving commercial, business and general aviation ("B&GA"), rotorcraft, and defense markets. The acquisition is expected to significantly expand VSE's scale and enhance its engine and component service capabilities across the aviation aftermarket, while maintaining a focused strategy centered on high-value, high-margin, mission-critical, and differentiated services. Upon closing, VSE is anticipated to become a more diversified, globally scaled aviation aftermarket platform with broader technical capabilities and an expanded portfolio of proprietary repair and solutions content designed to strengthen customer support, extend asset life, and reduce total cost of ownership.
• PAG expects to generate approximately $615 million of adjusted revenue⁽²⁾ for the full year ended December 31, 2025, with an adjusted EBITDA margin greater than 20%. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Following closing, VSE and PAG leadership will focus on integration and the execution of identified synergy initiatives. Initial cost and in-sourcing synergies are estimated to exceed $15 million on an annualized basis over the next few years. Additional value creation opportunities, including cross-selling initiatives, in-sourcing of product support and repairs, operational and cost efficiencies, procurement savings, network optimization, and working capital and supply chain improvements, are expected to be further defined following closing.

EXCLUSIVE PROPRIETARY OEM LICENSING AGREEMENT

• VSE entered into an asset purchase and license agreement with an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") to exclusively manufacture, distribute, and repair certain fuel pumps supporting the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine series. The agreement expands VSE's proprietary OEM Solutions portfolio and strengthens its position in high-value, mission-critical engine accessory programs across the global PT6 installed base.

EXCLUSIVE LIFE-OF-PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM

• VSE announces the launch of a new, globally exclusive, life-of-program auxiliary power unit ("APU") components distribution program with an OEM. This expanded OEM collaboration significantly broadens VSE's role in supporting APU programs across a wide range of commercial and critical platforms. VSE will serve as the exclusive life-of-program licensed distributor for more than 2,500 unique aftermarket parts supporting four OEM APU platforms. Program execution is expected to begin in early 2026.

2025 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

• RECORD REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY PERFORMANCE: Achieved record Aviation revenue and profitability, surpassing $1 billion in Aviation revenue for the first time in company history, while strengthening margins and generating positive free cash flow.
• ORGANIC GROWTH - NEW BUSINESS AWARDS AND OEM PARTNERSHIPS: Secured multiple new distribution and MRO program awards and strengthened strategic OEM partnerships, supporting future organic growth and expanded proprietary content.
• STRATEGY ADVANCEMENT - FLEET DIVESTITURE: Completed the sale of our Fleet segment in April 2025, successfully repositioning VSE as a pure-play aviation aftermarket company and sharpening our strategic focus.
• TURBINE WELD ACQUISITION: Acquired Turbine Weld Industries, LLC ("Turbine Weld") in May 2025, expanding our proprietary repair capabilities across key business and general aviation engine platforms and strengthening our MRO value proposition.

FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Aviation segment revenue increased 32% year-over-year to a record $301.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year revenue growth was attributable to strong program execution on new and existing business awards, the addition of new product line and repair capabilities, an expansion of MRO capacity to support new acquisitions, and contributions from recent acquisitions. The fourth quarter segment revenue included five business days of Aero 3 results. Aviation distribution and repair revenue increased 37% and 24% respectively, in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period. The Aviation segment reported operating income of $43.5 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $29.2 million in the same period of 2024. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by 43% in the fourth quarter to $55.2 million, versus $38.6 million in the prior-year period, driven by strong execution on distribution and MRO programs, expanded capacity at MRO facilities, increased in-sourcing, sales from the higher-margin OEM-licensed manufacturing program, and the realization of synergies from recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter was 18.3%, an increase of approximately 140 basis points compared to the prior year period results.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company generated $38 million of operating cash flow and $31 million of free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2025. For the full year 2025, the Company generated $27 million of operating cash flow and $6 million of free cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $469 million in cash and unused commitment availability under its revolving credit facility maturing in May 2030. As of December 31, 2025, VSE had total net debt outstanding of $223 million. The Adjusted Net Leverage Ratio was approximately 1.1x as of the end of the fourth quarter.

2026 CONSOLIDATED GUIDANCE (EXCLUDING PAG)

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

SEGMENT RESULTS

Following the divestiture of the Fleet segment, the Company operates under a single reportable operating segment. The reconciliation below provides transitional disclosure of Aviation's results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 to support comparability with prior period disclosures.

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, and a reconciliation 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.

The non-GAAP Financial Information set forth in this document is not calculated in accordance with GAAP under SEC Regulation G. The Company considers Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS (Diluted), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA, TTM Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted unallocated corporate costs, net debt, adjusted net leverage ratio, free cash flow, PAG adjusted revenue and PAG adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures and important indicators of performance and useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate the business' 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 represents Net Income adjusted for acquisition-related costs, 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) 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. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and other amortization. Management believes EBITDA 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 represents EBITDA (as defined above) adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and discrete items as identified above. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA plus the pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. TTM Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as defined above for the trailing twelve months. TTM Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA includes pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA for the trailing twelve months that is not included in historical results. Adjusted unallocated corporate costs represents Unallocated corporate costs before depreciation and other amortization, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and discrete items as identified above. 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. Adjusted Net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt divided by trailing twelve month Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA. PAG adjusted revenue includes pre-acquisition revenue from companies acquired by PAG during full year period ended December 31, 2025. PAG adjusted EBITDA margin represents estimated operating income before depreciation and amortization expenses and includes the pre-acquisition portion of EBITDA from companies acquired by PAG, that is not included in historical results, and excludes certain non-recurring items, as a percentage of revenue. PAG adjusted EBITDA and PAG adjusted EBITDA margin do not represent pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding Adjusted EBITDA margin, PAG adjusted revenue and PAG adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measure are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin, PAG adjusted revenue and PAG adjusted EBITDA margin to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's future financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company's or PAG's actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.
