"Our position in the marketplace continues to improve and I am pleased with the progress we made in the second quarter. During the quarter, we were awarded a $97 million firm fixed-price contract to provide base operations support services at Keesler Air Force Base," said Chuck Prow, president and chief executive officer of Vectrus. "Keesler was a strategic win for Vectrus, which further expands our work with the Air Force and builds on our recent $278 million Maxwell Air Force Base re-compete win."

"During the quarter, Sue Deagle joined the Vectrus executive management team as Chief Growth Officer," said Prow. "Sue brings significant federal market experience and will play a major role in the implementation and execution of our growth strategy."

Second Quarter 2017 Results

  • Revenue $259.3 million
  • Operating income $9.2 million
  • Operating margin 3.5%
  • Diluted earnings per share $0.49

Second quarter 2017 revenue of $259.3 million decreased $48.6 million or 15.8 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in revenue was attributable to lower activity from our Middle East programs of $24.3 million, our Afghanistan programs of $16.8 million, and our U.S. programs of $9.6 million, offset by an increase of $2.1 million from our European programs.

Operating income was $9.2 million or 3.5 percent operating margin in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $11.3 million or 3.7 percent operating margin in the second quarter of 2016.

Second quarter 2017 diluted earnings per share were $0.49 compared to $0.55 in the second quarter 2016.

Year-to-date June 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.7 million, a decrease of $13.5 million compared to the 2016 period.  Days sales outstanding was 59 days in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 52 days in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2017 with a total debt balance of $78.0 million, which was down from $85.0 million at the end of 2016.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (total leverage ratio) of 1.61 to 1.00x.

The Company ended the second quarter 2017 with total backlog of $2.8 billion and funded backlog of $0.9 billion.
