VSE Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2017
First Quarter Revenue and Profits Increase Year over Year

Alexandria, Virginia, April 27, 2017 - VSE Corporation (Nasdaq: VSEC) reported the following unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2017.

CEO Commentary

“Our Federal Services Group drove our revenue increases this quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2016,” said Maurice “Mo” Gauthier, VSE CEO. “Growth in our NAVSEA foreign military sales work centered around two recent ship transfers to Taiwan, and our equipment sustainment and logistics support for the U.S. Army were the main contributors to the first quarter revenue increase. Our funded backlog remains strong based on an excellent bookings quarter. In addition, we anticipate that the new administration’s spending priorities will continue to benefit our DoD revenues. We are also deploying more of our resources to expand the market offerings in our Supply Chain Management and Aviation groups.”

Mr. Gauthier continued, “We are pleased with our revenue, operating profits and opportunities in the near term, and are focusing our efforts on identifying and investing in initiatives to promote long-term sustainable growth.”

Operational Highlights
Our Federal Services Group was awarded several delivery orders during the first quarter of 2017 under our Foreign Military Sales (FMS) support contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) International Fleet Support Program Office totaling approximately $91.1 million.
Our VSE Aviation, Inc. subsidiary has been awarded a contract to support the United States Department of State (DoS), Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation for the repair, overhaul and modification of the T53-L-703 engines used in the Bureau's fleet of 85 UH-1H "Huey" helicopters. This single award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract has a five year period of performance and a maximum ceiling of $16.6 million.
Beginning January 1, 2017, our Federal Services Group includes our subsidiaries Energetics Incorporated and Akimeka, LLC, thus combining our IT, Energy and Management Consulting Group with our Federal Services Group.
Bookings in our Federal Services Group were $148 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to revenue for this group of $109 million. Funded contract backlog at March 31, 2017 was $359 million, compared to $322 million at December 31, 2016 and $229 million at March 31, 2016.




Exhibit 99.1

Revenues were $197.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $143.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. These increases were primarily due to increased revenue from our Federal Services Group. Increased revenues from our Supply Chain Management Group also contributed to revenue growth in the first quarter.

Operating income was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The operating income increase primarily was attributable to revenue increases in our Federal Services Group. Net income was $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016.

The non-GAAP Financial Information (unaudited) listed below is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") under SEC Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures as important indicators of performance and useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate our business' ongoing operating performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. These adjusted financial measures are intended to highlight non-operational, unusual or non-recurring items. They should not, however, be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
