Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE CONTACT: Vectrus Mike Smith, CFA 719-637-5773 michael.smith@vectrus.com Vectrus Announces Third Quarter 2020 Results • Q3 revenue of $352.4 million, +4.9% sequentially; COVID-19 adversely impacted revenue by $12.9 million or 3.7% year-on-year • Q3 diluted EPS of $0.88; Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.89, COVID-19 adversely impacted EPS by $0.14 • Adjusted EBITDA margin1 of 4.8%, driven by ongoing performance initiatives • Robust backlog of $3.7 billion; 1.5x TTM book-to-bill • Reiterating 2020 guidance COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., November 10, 2020 — Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE:VEC) announced third quarter 2020 financial results for the quarter ended October 2, 2020. “Third quarter results were solid, reflecting improved volumes and margin levels,” said Chuck Prow, president and chief executive officer. “In addition, we continued to execute well on our growth strategy on all fronts, particularly with respect to diversifying our revenue streams and advancing our leadership position in the converged infrastructure market. For example, we were recently awarded a contract to support Navy Smart Warehouse Prototype 5G Applications. While modest in size, this prime contract is the result of our deliberate, strategic and transformational investment in expanding our capabilities at the intersection of traditional infrastructure and integrated digital services. We were also recently awarded a position on a "Best in Class" General Services Administration multi-year, multiple award, IDIQ contract vehicle, allowing access to a funding stream that is new to us and affords additional avenues of organic growth. “For the remainder of the year, we are focused on delivering on all of our programs while keeping our teams and our clients safe; growing our pipeline of opportunities in the converged infrastructure market; and pursuing strategic M&A,” said Prow. “I want to thank our entire work force for their continued dedication, fortitude, and resourcefulness every day as we face the ongoing global pandemic.” Third Quarter 2020 Results Third quarter 2020 revenue of $352.4 million was down slightly year on year by 2.1% mainly due to COVID-19 pandemic related deferrals of $12.9 million or 3.7% due to base access restrictions. Revenue was up $16.4 million sequentially or 4.9%. 1


 
Exhibit 99.1 For the third quarter 2020, operating income was $14.8 million or 4.2% margin. Adjusted operating income1 was $15.0 million or 4.3% margin. Adjusted operating income1 was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 deferral of high-margin revenue due to base access restrictions into future periods of $2.1 million which had a 40-basis point impact to adjusted operating margin1. EBITDA1 was $16.9 million or 4.8% margin for the third quarter 2020, compared to $14.1 million or 3.9% margin in the third quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $17.0 million or 4.8% margin for the third quarter 2020, compared to $14.7 million or 4.1% margin in the third quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA1 was adversely impacted by COVID-19 of $2.1 million, which had a 40-basis point impact to adjusted EBITDA margin1. Third quarter 2020 diluted EPS was $0.88 compared to $0.67 in the third quarter 2019. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the third quarter 2020 was $0.89 compared to $0.71 in the third quarter 2019. Adjusted diluted EPS1 was adversely impacted due to COVID-19 by $0.14. "Third quarter adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 4.8%, representing the second highest margin rate in the past ten quarters, an impressive accomplishment as EBITDA margin includes an estimated 40-basis points of COVID-19 impact,” said Susan Lynch, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “Our margin reflects the strength of our underlying business and continued execution on our enterprise wide performance improvement initiatives. The rollout of our enterprise systems is progressing well, and we continue to invest in our team to support our growth. With less than one-times leverage and a strong liquidity position as well as a solid backlog, we are poised to weather the pandemic while continuing to support our long-term growth.” Cash provided by operating activities through October 2, 2020 was $37.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $28.4 million year-to-date 2019. The increase year-to-date over prior year is mainly driven by the CARES Act employee payroll tax deferrals of approximately $9.9 million. Net debt at October 2, 2020 was $2.3 million, down from $35.2 million at December 31, 2019. Total debt at October 2, 2020 was $66.0 million, down $4.5 million from $70.5 million at December 31, 2019. Cash at quarter-end was $63.7 million, up $28.4 million from $35.3 million at December 31, 2019. As of October 2, 2020, the revolver, was undrawn and combined with cash, results in total liquidity of more than $180 million. Total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA1 (total leverage ratio) was 0.99x. Total backlog as of October 2, 2020 was $3.7 billion and funded backlog was $1.0 billion. The trailing twelve-month book-to-bill was 1.5x as of October 2, 2020. Reiterate 2020 Guidance Lynch continued, “We expect the momentum experienced in the third quarter to continue for the remainder of the year and are reiterating our 2020 guidance.” 2

Exhibit 99.1 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, operating income and operating margin. 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 define operating margin as operating income divided by 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 operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic revenue 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 operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic revenue, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share as 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, such as M&A transaction and LOGCAP V pre-operational legal costs that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations. • Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income 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, such as M&A transaction and LOGCAP V pre-operational legal costs, that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations. • Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. • EBITDA is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization. 8


 
Exhibit 99.1 • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, significant charges or credits and unusual and infrequent non-operating items, such as M&A transaction and LOGCAP V pre-operational legal costs that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations. • EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. • Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. • Organic revenue is defined as revenue, adjusted to exclude revenue from acquired companies.
