Company Release - 8/9/2016 4:05 PM ET

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced second quarter 2016 results, which included revenue of $307.9 million, operating income of $11.3 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.55. As of July 1, 2016, year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities was $19.3 million and free cash flow1 improved $19.9 million year-over-year. Funded orders were $303.7 million in the second quarter of 2016, representing a funded book-to-bill2 ratio of 1.0x.

"In the second quarter, our revenue excluding Afghanistan programs continued to show growth, increasing 5 percent or $13.5 million year-over-year," said Ken Hunzeker, chief executive officer and president of Vectrus. "Our solid second quarter results combined with improved visibility for the remainder of 2016 allows us to raise our 2016 revenue, diluted EPS and free cash flow1 guidance."

Second Quarter 2016 Results

  • Revenue of $307.9 million
  • Operating income of $11.3 million
  • Operating margin of 3.7 percent
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.55

Second quarter 2016 revenue of $307.9 million decreased $1.6 million, or 0.5 percent, compared to the second quarter 2015. This change was primarily driven by a $30.5 million decrease in revenue from our Afghanistan, U.S. and European programs. This was partially offset by an increase in our Middle East programs of $28.9 million for the second quarter 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Programs based in Afghanistan contributed $30.9 million of revenue in the second quarter 2016.

Operating income was $11.3 million, or 3.7 percent of operating margin, in the second quarter 2016, compared to $10.8 million, or 3.5 percent operating margin, in the second quarter 2015, an increase of $0.5 million. Programs based in Afghanistan contributed $0.7 million of operating income in the second quarter 2016.

Second quarter 2016 diluted earnings per share were $0.55 compared to $0.56 in the second quarter 2015.

Year-to-date July 1, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $19.3 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.2 million during the same period in 2015. Free cash flowwas $19.0 million year-to-date July 1, 2016, compared to negative free cash flow1 of $0.9 million during the same period in 2015.

"Year-to-date free cash flow1 improved by $19.9 million, driven by strong cash collections in 2016," said Matt Klein, chief financial officer at Vectrus. "We continue to see improvement in collections, achieving a Vectrus record 52 days sales outstanding during the quarter."

 For the quarter ended July 1, 2016, the Company ended with total backlog of $2.3 billion and funded backlog of $975 million.

2016 Guidance

"As a result of our improved visibility and outlook for the remainder of the year, we are increasing the previously communicated ranges for revenue, diluted EPS and free cash flow1. Our strong cash collections in the quarter enabled a $2 million voluntary payment of our term loan. Based on our updated financial guidance, we now anticipate 2016 voluntary debt payments to range from $8 million to $10 million," said Klein. "We are pleased with our financial performance to date in 2016 and look forward to a strong second half of the year."

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 free cash flow to be useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe 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.

"Free cash flow" is defined as GAAP net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by or used in operating activities is in the table below.
