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.

New Awards. Returning to a continuing theme, V2X recently has been awarded some significant new and re-compete business. We believe the awards demonstrate the Company’s ability to compete, and win, in the converged environment.

GMR Award. Notably, on July 22nd V2X secured a $48.5 million ID/IQ contract with the U.S. Army for V2X’s Gateway Mission Router. This is a significant award, in our view, as it highlights V2X’s ability to deliver cutting edge solutions to its partners and expands the number of platforms on which GMR can reside. In addition, margins on the GMR product should be additive to the Company’s overall margin profile.

Additionally, our position in the Middle East or CENTCOM continues to expand with revenue up 22% year-over-year. As the largest services provider to the Department of Defense in the Middle East, V2X stands ready to support our clients mission requirements.”

Mr. Prow continued, “V2X remains focused on differentiated operational technologies that fuse the digital and physical aspects of our clients’ missions. This differentiation is driving growth and was recently demonstrated through contract awards valued at $75 million to provide technology solutions for threat detection and response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards. This work expanded from a prototype effort to a new sole source award for the production, upgrade, and fielding of cutting-edge systems at overseas operational locations. Under the contract, V2X is the lead systems integrator for CBRN Support to Command and Control (CSC2) program. CSC2 is the program of record for the integration of CBRN, which will link sensors together to provide integrated situational awareness about potential hazards to inform end user decision making.”

Mr. Prow concluded, “I’m pleased to announce that V2X was selected as a prime contractor for the U.S. Navy’s Global Contingency Services Multiple Award Contract III (GCSMAC III). The contract is valued at up to $2 billion, was awarded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific in Hawaii, and enables V2X to provide critical support services for a wide range of scenarios, including natural disasters, humanitarian efforts, and military actions. The total contract value for GCSMAC III was increased significantly from the prior iteration, which reached its ceiling value of $900 million. Importantly, V2X was the leading provider of services under the prior iteration of the contract, winning $300 million in task orders.”

First Quarter 2024 Results

“V2X reported revenue of $1.0 billion in the quarter, which represents 7.1% 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. Growth in the Pacific was driven by continued expansion of scope and services, particularly at Kwajalein Atoll. Growth in the Middle East was driven primarily by expansion in Qatar and the ramp up of our longer-term Saudi Aviation Support & Training program.”

“For the quarter, the Company reported operating income of $30.3 million and adjusted operating income1 of $62.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $69.1 million with a margin of 6.8%. First quarter GAAP diluted EPS was $0.04, due primarily to merger and integration related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and interest expense. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the quarter was $0.90.”

“An important attribute of our business is the ability to generate strong cash flow with low capital expenditure requirements. We expect to deliver full-year adjusted net cash provided by operating activities1 of $145 million to $165 million, representing 120% adjusted net income conversion1 at the mid-point. During the quarter, net cash used by operating activities was $57.2 million, in line with our historical pattern and reflective of a receivable delay that collected shortly after the quarter closed. Adjusted net cash used by operating activities1 was $83.5 million, adding back approximately $5.8 million of M&A and integration costs and removing the contribution of the master accounts receivable purchase or MARPA facility of $32.1 million.”

“At the end of the quarter, net debt for V2X was $1,173 million.  Net leverage ratio1was 3.5x, down from 3.8x at the end of the first quarter 2023. We expect to achieve a net leverage ratio of 3.0x, or below, by the end of 2024.”   

“Total backlog as of March 29, 2024, was $12.6 billion. Funded backlog was $2.7 billion. Bookings in the quarter were $0.8 billion, resulting in a trailing twelve-month book-to-bill of 1.2x.”

Reaffirming 2024 Guidance

Mr. Mural concluded, “We are pleased with the performance across our business and start to the year. Our teams continue to execute, driving expansion on existing operations and phasing in of new programs.  As such, the Company is reaffirming its guidance for 2024.”

Guidance for 2024 remains as follows:         

$ millions, except for per share amounts2024 Guidance2024 Mid-Point
Revenue$4,100$4,200$4,150
Adjusted EBITDA1$300$315$308
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share1$3.85$4.20$4.03
Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities1$145$165$155
