Chuck Prow joined as President and Chief Executive Officer in December 2016

Strategic focus on physical and digital infrastructure convergence


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 1, 2017 — Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced fourth quarter and full-year 2016 financial results. For the fourth quarter, revenue was $288.2 million, operating income was $8.6 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.40. For the full year, revenue was $1,190.5 million, operating income was $42.8 million, and diluted earnings per share were $2.16. Cash provided by operating activities for the full-year 2016 was $36.6 million.

“I am impressed with what the Vectrus team accomplished in 2016, especially in light of challenges experienced throughout the year,” said Chuck Prow, president and chief executive officer of Vectrus. “Our team did an excellent job of focusing on the business which was demonstrated through a reduced leverage profile, significant improvement in days sales outstanding, and a more streamlined and effective organizational structure. Additionally, performance on the Kuwait Base Operations and Security Support Services contract continued to be strong and our most recent performance rating issued by the client was excellent. The K-BOSSS re-compete proposal is under evaluation and we look forward to delivering a robust and differentiated solution, while continuing the excellent performance our client has consistently received on this contract.”

“Since joining Vectrus in December," Prow continued, "I've had the opportunity to visit a number of our clients and program teams around the world to see first-hand the missions we serve and our employees' dedication and commitment to those missions."

"The federal facilities and logistics markets are under significant pressure to transform and deliver much better outcomes at dramatically lower costs. Vectrus has an opportunity, with our clients, to be a leader in this transformation through innovation," explained Prow. "To capture this opportunity, I have initiated a strategic process that will leverage our core facilities and logistics capabilities with our technology business. The convergence of our clients' physical and digital infrastructure including supply chains represent an opportunity to improve the outcomes of their missions while creating a higher value, growth oriented platform. Overall, I believe the long-term outlook for Vectrus is promising and will lead to enhanced shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

Revenue $288.2 million
Operating income $8.6 million
Operating margin 3.0%
Diluted earnings per share $0.40

Fourth quarter 2016 revenue of $288.2 million decreased $23.0 million or 7.4 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease is due to lower revenue of $27.7 million from Afghanistan programs and $18.2 million from U.S. and European programs, partially offset by a $22.9 million increase in Middle East programs.

Operating income was $8.6 million or 3.0 percent operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $11.3 million or 3.6 percent operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Fourth quarter 2016 diluted earnings per share were $0.40 compared to $0.55 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

“It is important to note that we incurred one-time expenses in the amount of $1.5 million associated with actions taken in the fourth quarter, which adversely impacted our operating income," said Matt Klein, chief financial officer of Vectrus.

Full-Year 2016 Results

Revenue $1,190.5 million
Operating income $42.8 million
Operating margin 3.6 percent
Diluted earnings per share $2.16
Cash provided by operating activities $36.6 million

Full-year 2016 revenue of $1,190.5 million increased $9.8 million or 0.8 percent compared to 2015. The increase is due to a $130.9 million increase in revenue from Middle East programs, partially offset by decreases in Afghanistan programs of $80.1 million and U.S. and European programs of $41.0 million.

Exhibit 99.1 

Operating income was $42.8 million or 3.6 percent operating margin for the full-year 2016, compared to $40.0 million or 3.4 percent operating margin in 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015, adjusted operating income1 was $43.4 million or 3.7 percent adjusted operating margin1.

Full-year 2016 diluted earnings per share were $2.16 compared to $2.86 in 2015 and adjusted diluted earnings per share1 of $2.23 in 2015.

Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $36.6 million; an increase of $17.7 million compared to 2015.

“Our team did a phenomenal job of improving cash collections in 2016. Day’s sales outstanding improved significantly to 57 days, an 11 day improvement year-over-year,” said Klein.

The Company ended 2016 with total debt of $85.0 million, which was down $29.0 million from $114.0 million at the end of 2015. This included $15 million of voluntary prepayments in 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (total leverage ratio) of 1.63x to 1.00x.

“We have prudently managed our debt profile to ensure we remain below our covenants, especially given the recent dynamics involving our business,” said Klein. “As of year-end, we were tracking well below our 2016 debt-to-EBITDA covenant level of 3.25 times. In 2017, this covenant steps down to 3.0 times. We will continue to methodically manage our leverage profile and capital structure as we move through 2017.”

The Company ended 2016 with total backlog of $2.4 billion and funded backlog of $665 million.

2017 Guidance
"In 2017, we expect annual revenue to be in the range of $910 million to $1,010 million including an anticipated extension of our existing K-BOSSS contract while the re-compete proposal is under evaluation. Full-year operating margin is expected to be in the range of 3.40 percent to 3.60 percent and net income to be in the range of $17.0 million to $20.5 million. We expect to see diluted EPS in the range of $1.53 to $1.83 per share, and cash provided by operating activities from $20 million to $26 million," said Klein. “Our 2017 guidance assumes interest expense of approximately $4 million, depreciation and amortization of $2 million, mandatory debt payments of $16 million, a tax rate of 36.4 percent and weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 11.1 million at December 31, 2017.”

Exhibit 99.1 

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The primary financial performance measures Vectrus uses to manage its business and monitor results of operations are revenue trends and operating income trends. In addition, we consider adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, to be useful to management and investors in evaluating the operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives.
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, however, are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these items are provided below.
“Adjusted operating income” is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, other income; significant charges or credits that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations and unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments, such as separation costs incurred to become a stand-alone public company and tax indemnifications in connection with the spin-off from our former parent.
“Adjusted operating margin” is defined as adjusted operating income divided by revenue.
"Adjusted net income" is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, other income; significant charges or credits that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations and unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments, such as separation costs incurred to become a stand-alone public company.
"Adjusted diluted earnings per share" is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
