2024 Guidance:
Raising full-year revenue and adjusted EPS1 guidance midpoint and reaffirming adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow1
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — V2X, Inc. (NYSE:VVX) announced third quarter 2024 financial results.
“V2X reported strong third quarter results with record revenue, net income, and adjusted EBITDA1, driven by our continued alignment to well-funded critical missions and the ability to deliver capabilities at scale across the globe,” said Jeremy Wensinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of V2X. “Revenue increased 8% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA1 increased 28% year-over-year, reflecting strong program performance. Adjusted net income1 increased 76% year-over-year and adjusted diluted EPS1 increased 77% year-over-year.”
Mr. Wensinger continued, “During the third quarter we demonstrated continued growth in the Indo-Pacific region with revenue increasing 31% year-over-year. This performance was tied to the DoD’s continued focus on enhancing U.S. readiness in the region. We are seeing additional opportunities for growth in the region that align to improving the capacity and capabilities of U.S. allies and our partners.”
“Our full spectrum capabilities across the mission lifecycle serve as a differentiator. The fact that we are with our customers across the globe at every phase of mission execution, gives us prodigious knowledge, allowing us to deliver best of breed cost effective solutions that are enhancing outcomes. This unique position is yielding results with V2X securing approximately $5 billion of awards in the third quarter. This includes the $3.7 billion Warfighter-Training Readiness Solutions (W-TRS) award that represents a milestone win for V2X. We delivered a technology enabled solution that was compelling and will ensure every Army soldier has the tools necessary to conduct accurate training preparing them for whenever called upon to deploy. These wins validate our strong positioning in the marketplace and are expected to contribute to our financial performance for years to come.”
Mr. Wensinger concluded, “I believe there is additional opportunity to build on our momentum through further optimization of our business. This includes enhancing the breadth and depth of our pipeline as a result of the collective capabilities. W-TRS is a great example of a solution that leveraged the collective capabilities. We are building on that success to expand our addressable markets in all areas of the company. We are investing in this expanded pipeline to ensure we address opportunities with talent and solutions that will differentiate V2X offerings.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results
“V2X reported record revenue of $1.08 billion in the quarter, which represents 8% year-over-year growth,” said Shawn Mural, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We continued to deliver double digit revenue growth in the Indo-Pacific (31% year-over-year) and Middle East (13% year-over-year) regions, which was achieved through continued expansion of existing business as well as new programs.
“For the quarter, the Company reported operating income of $49.9 million and adjusted operating income1 of $76.9 million. V2X delivered record adjusted EBITDA1, increasing 28% year-over-year to $82.7 million, with a margin of 7.6%, reflecting our expected second half program performance. Third quarter GAAP diluted EPS was $0.47. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the quarter increased 77% year-over-year to $1.29.”
“Third quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $62.7 million. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities1 increased 35% year-over-year to $130.1 million. On a year-to-date basis, net cash provided by operating activities was $31.1 million. Adjusted net cash used by operating activities1 was $7.2 million.”
“At the end of the quarter, net debt for V2X was $1,089 million. Net leverage ratio1 was 3.27x, improving 0.29x sequentially. We continue to demonstrate progress on debt paydown and remain on track to be at or below a net leverage ratio of 3.0x, by the end of 2024.”
“Total backlog as of September 27, 2024, was $12.2 billion. Funded backlog was $3.0 billion. Book-to-bill in the quarter was approximately 1.0x. Backlog does not include the full contract value associated with recent awards.”

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.
