2024 Guidance:

  • Raising full-year revenue guidance and reaffirming Adjusted EBITDA, EPS, and Operating Cash Flow1

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- V2X, Inc. (NYSE:VVX) announced second quarter 2024 financial results.

"I am honored to join the V2X team and look forward to leveraging our mission first culture, differentiated capabilities, and impressive past performance to achieve our next stage of growth," said Jeremy C. Wensinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of V2X. "Our people, processes, agility and expertise to operate worldwide are a differentiator. This enables alignment to critical missions with an ability to operate at scale around the globe."

Mr. Wensinger continued, "Demand remains strong for our mission based full lifecycle solutions and was demonstrated through several recent awards valued at over $4 billion. This includes a new five-year award valued at $3.0+ billion to deliver next generation readiness. In addition, we received a new production award from the U.S. Army for our Gateway Mission Routers valued at $49 million, an award valued at $265 million to support NASA's operations in preparation for human spaceflight missions at the Johnson Space Center, and the award of the F-5 adversarial aircraft program from the U.S. Navy valued at $747 million."

"Importantly, our ability to deliver a full range of assured communications has resulted in two awards, further expanding our relationship with the Navy and our footprint in the Pacific. Our $88 million Naval Computer and Telecommunications Pacific award will provide vital C4I support to forces across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Our $141 million Fleet Systems Engineering Team (FSET) program will continue to deliver end-to-end C4I systems engineering solutions. FSET ensures that no U.S. Navy Strike Group deploys without V2X."

Mr. Wensinger concluded, "V2X has great momentum and I believe there is substantial opportunity to build upon the impressive foundation by further leveraging technology and solutions to enhance business and customer outcomes."

Second Quarter 2024 Results

"V2X reported record revenue of $1.07 billion in the quarter, which represents 10% year-over-year growth," said Shawn Mural, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Revenue growth in the quarter was achieved through continued expansion of existing business in the Pacific and Middle East regions, as well as new programs. Revenue growth in the Pacific was 29% year-over-year and 23% on a sequential basis, driven by continued expansion of scope and services in the region. Revenue growth in the Middle East was also 29% year-over-year, driven primarily by expansion in Qatar and the continued phase-in of our longer-term Saudi Aviation Training and Support Services program."

"For the quarter, the Company reported operating income of $27.4 million and adjusted operating income1 of $65.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $72.3 million with a margin of 6.7%. Second quarter GAAP diluted EPS was ($0.21). Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the quarter was $0.83. The adjusted tax rate in the second quarter was 28% due to the executive transition. Absent this, our adjusted tax rate would have been approximately 23% yielding adjusted EPS of $0.88."

"Year to date, net cash used by operating activities was $31.6 million, reflective of working capital requirements to support growth. Adjusted net cash used by operating activities1 was $137.3 million, adding back approximately $12.1 million of M&A and integration costs and removing the contribution of the master accounts receivable purchase or MARPA facility of $117.8 million."

"At the end of the quarter, net debt for V2X was $1,150 million. Net leverage ratio1,2 was 3.56x, essentially flat compared to the first quarter 2024. We expect to achieve a net leverage ratio of 3.0x, by the end of 2024. During the quarter, we successfully repriced and extended our $904 million Term Loan B. This outcome is a testament to the strength in our business and is yielding additional interest expense savings while lowering our overall cost of capital."

"Total backlog as of June 28, 2024, was $12.2 billion. Funded backlog was $2.9 billion. Bookings in the quarter were $759 million. We expect backlog to increase in the second half of the year due to awards and contract definitizations."

Raising 2024 Revenue Guidance

Mr. Mural concluded, "Given our strong revenue performance in the first half of the year we are updating our total year guidance."

Guidance for 2024 is as follows:

The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation with respect to this forward-looking non-GAAP measure in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. For example, unusual, one-time, non-ordinary, or non-recurring costs, which relate to M&A, integration and related activities cannot be reasonably estimated. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested here, including those factors set forth in the Safe Harbor Statement below.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

The primary financial performance measures we use to manage our business and monitor results of operations are revenue trends and operating income trends. Management believes that these financial performance measures are the primary drivers for our earnings and net cash from operating activities. Management evaluates its contracts and business performance by focusing on revenue, and operating income. Operating income represents revenue less both cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Cost of revenue consists of labor, subcontracting costs, materials, and an allocation of indirect costs, which includes service center transaction costs. SG&A expenses consist of indirect labor costs (including wages and salaries for executives and administrative personnel), bid and proposal expenses and other general and administrative expenses not allocated to cost of revenue.

We manage the nature and amount of costs at the program level, which forms the basis for estimating our total costs and profitability. This is consistent with our approach for managing our business, which begins with management's assessing the bidding opportunity for each contract and then managing contract profitability throughout the performance period.

In addition to the key performance measures discussed above, we consider adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted operating cash flow to be useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance, 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. We provide this information to our investors in our earnings releases, presentations, and other disclosures.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Definitions and 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, significant charges or credits, and unusual and infrequent non-operating items that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations, such as M&A, integration, and related costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and items that may include, but are not limited to, significant charges or credits, and unusual and infrequent non-operating items that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations, such as M&A, integration, and related costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
  • Adjusted net income is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, significant charges or credits, and unusual and infrequent non-operating items that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations, such as M&A, integration and related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
  • Cash interest expense, net is defined as interest expense, net adjusted to exclude amortization of debt issuance costs.
  • Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or adjusted operating cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude infrequent non-operating items, such as M&A payments and related costs.
  • Net leverage ratio is defined as net debt (or total debt less unrestricted cash) divided by trailing twelve-month (TTM) bank EBITDA.
