"Our operating results have improved compared to our first quarter of the prior year," said Maurice "Mo" Gauthier, VSE CEO. "Recent awards in our Federal Services Group position us well for steady improvement in our traditional markets as the year progresses. We received authorization to transfer two frigates to Taiwan under our FMS Program and we are beginning the transition phase of our new logistics and maintenance contract at Red River Army Depot. We expect to build on this momentum through the remainder of the year."

Mr. Gauthier continued, "While much of our focus over the past few years has been on our pivot to more profitable offerings and markets, such as supply chain management, and more recently, general aviation, we are encouraged about our recent performance and prospects for further growth in our traditional DoD service offerings."

Revenues were $143.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $120.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. The revenue increase was partially attributable to the inclusion of three months of Aviation Group in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the inclusion of approximately two months in the first quarter of 2015. This was due to the closing of this acquisition on January 28, 2015. Our Federal Services and Supply Chain Management groups also recorded revenue increases for the quarter.

Operating income was $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. The operating income increase primarily was attributable to revenue increases in our Federal Services and Supply Chain Management groups, a reduction in the earn-out obligation for our Aviation Group, partially offset by certain legal fees and settlement costs. Net income was $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015.

Bookings in our Federal Services and IT, Energy and Management Consulting groups were $51 million for the first three months of 2016 compared to revenue for these groups of $59 million. Funded contract backlog at March 31, 2016 was $229 million, compared to $238 million at December 31, 2015 and $185 million at March 31, 2015.

Operational Highlights
·
Our Federal Services Group was awarded an Equipment Related Services (ERS) task order under the TACOM Strategic Services Solutions (TS3) contract to support maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification and upgrade of military vehicles and other equipment for the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) located west of Texarkana, Texas. This task order consists of a base year (including a base surge option), two one-year options and an additional six-month option for a total potential value of $243.8 million, if all options are exercised. We disclosed this award, which was under protest, in our recently filed 10-K for 2015 and associated earnings release. GAO subsequently denied the protest and affirmed the award to VSE. We expect to complete our transition as the new prime contractor and begin work on May 16, 2016.
