Discontinued Operations

Sale of Federal and Defense Segment

In February 2024, VSE entered into two separate agreements to sell substantially all the Federal and Defense segment's operational assets ("FDS Sale") for a cash consideration of $42.9 million. The FDS Sale is consistent with the Company's long-term strategic growth strategy focused on higher margin and higher growth aftermarket parts distribution and MRO businesses. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the FDS Sale of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to a settlement of net working capital and a pre-tax loss of $12.7 million and transaction fees of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. All such losses and transaction fees are included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of operations.

As stated within Note (13) "Subsequent Events", the transaction was completed in April 2025 for a total consideration of up to $230 million (the “Fleet Sale”). This consideration is comprised of a $140 million cash payment at closing, a $25 million seller note, and an earn-out payment of up to $65 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones.
