  • In 2024, the Company successfully advanced its strategic transformation from a diversified industrial business to a leading provider of aftermarket distribution and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) services for air and land transportation assets across commercial and government markets.
  • Throughout the year, the Company accelerated its portfolio transformation, expanded its geographic reach, introduced new distribution products and service capabilities, implemented newly awarded programs, and enhanced margins within its core aviation business.
  • Additionally, the Company divested the Federal and Defense business, a non-core business segment, sharpening its focus on higher-growth, higher-margin business areas.
  • These strategic milestones not only strengthened VSE’s market position but also directly influenced executive compensation decisions, reinforcing the Company's robust pay-for-performance philosophy and aligning executive rewards with shareholder value creation.
  • The achievement of these objectives contributed to above-target payouts under the Annual Incentive Plan and strong long-term incentive plan vesting outcomes, reflecting alignment between strategic goals and stockholder value.
  • The Company's key business achievements in 2024 included, among others:
  • Aviation
  • ▪Generated record full year segment revenue of $786.3 million;
  • ▪Acquired two leading commercial aviation aftermarket businesses, Turbine Controls and Kellstrom Aerospace Group, Inc. ("Kellstrom"), to expand into the higher-growth aerospace engine aftermarket;

  • In determining compensation for 2024, the Compensation Committee retained NFP Compensation Consulting (“NFP”), an independent national compensation consulting firm, as the Committee's independent compensation consultant to advise on executive and director compensation matters.
  • In April 2024, NFP was acquired by Aon plc ("Aon"), an independent global compensation consulting firm.
  • Following the acquisition, Aon Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon, became the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant.
  • NFP provided these services to the Compensation Committee until April 2024 when it was acquired by Aon, and Aon has provided these services starting in May 2024.
  • After considering the results of this advisory vote, the Compensation Committee determined that these results demonstrated a strong level of support for the Company's executive compensation program.
  • The Compensation Committee did not make any changes to the compensation decisions and policies for 2024 that were specifically driven by the advisory vote.
  • In March 2024, an independent compensation consultant conducted a comprehensive risk assessment of the Company’s compensation structure.
  • For 2024 compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee utilized a peer group recommended by compensation consultant NFP in mid-2023, which included certain peers also used by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS).
  • Given the Company’s strategic business transformation initiatives, including the divestiture of its Federal and Defense business segment, NFP recommended adjustments to the existing compensation peer group to better align with the Company’s evolving market focus in the Aviation and Fleet markets.
  • To reflect this strategic shift, NFP recommended the removal of the following companies from the prior peer group:
  • •CRA International, Inc.
  • •Horizon Global Corporation
  • •Huron Consulting Group Inc.
  • These companies were removed due to the divestiture of the Company’s Federal and Defense business segments.
  • Conversely, NFP recommended the addition of the following companies to better represent the Company’s increased focus in the aerospace sector and growth in market capitalization:
  • •Hexcel Corporation
  • The revised peer group comprised publicly traded companies of comparable size (based on revenue, market capitalization, enterprise value, asset size, and total stockholder return) within the diversified support services industry, specifically including aerospace and automotive trading companies and distributors.
  • NFP advised that these changes positioned the Company at approximately the 42nd percentile on average for revenue, market capitalization, enterprise value, asset size, and three-year total shareholder return relative to the peer group.
  • Review and Adjustments for 2025 Compensation Peer Group
  • In July 2024, the Compensation Committee, with support from compensation consultant Aon, reviewed the existing 2024 Compensation Peer Group to prepare for 2025 compensation decisions.
  • Aon’s peer selection process focused on publicly traded companies involved in parts and distribution, with an emphasis on commercial and professional services, diversified support services, capital goods (including aviation manufacturing), and automotive and components industries.
  • The selection criteria included:
  • •Revenues ranging from approximately one-third to three times the Company’s revenue
  • •Market capitalization ranging from approximately 0.2 times to five times the Company’s market capitalization
  • •Comparable total shareholder returns
