VSE Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2014ALEXANDRIA, Va. --(Business Wire)-- VSE Corporation (Nasdaq: VSEC) reported the following unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
"Our first quarter income from continuing operations and net income improved as compared to prior year first quarter levels," said Maurice "Mo" Gauthier, VSE CEO. "Results from our growing supply chain offerings have offset declines in services performed for our traditional customer base." Mr. Gauthier continued, "In response to challenges in our legacy defense markets, we have adapted our competencies in vehicle, ship and aircraft fleet sustainment, service life extension, and logistics to the needs of adjacent markets. We will focus on mission critical fleet sustainment in these more promising markets, while we continue to defend and maintain our presence in key legacy defense markets in anticipation of a future rebound." For the first quarter of 2014, revenues were $119.4 million compared to $119.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. Operating income for the first quarter of 2014 was $11.4 million compared to $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. Revenues from our Supply Chain Management Group continued to grow; International Group and Federal Group revenues remained steady; and revenues from our IT, Energy and Management Consulting Group declined compared to the prior year period. Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2014 was $6.3 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013. Net income was $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2014, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013. Bookings were $89 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to revenue of $119.4 million. Funded contract backlog at March 31, 2014 was $205 million, compared to $236 million at December 31, 2013 and $264 million at March 31, 2013. Note on Discontinued Operations Prior to our decision in December of 2012 to divest the operations of our subsidiary Integrated Concepts and Research Corporation ("ICRC"), ICRC participated in an arrangement to provide bonding for certain small business prime contractors. Subsequently, various subcontractors have made claims on a few of the bonded projects associated with ICRC's discontinued construction management business. We have recorded a reserve related to these claims and disputes of approximately $615 thousand, net of tax, which is included in loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2014.
