The Company operates as one segment and provides the following services and offerings: facility and base operations, supply chain and logistics services, information technology mission support, and engineering and digital integration services. V2X was incorporated in the State of Indiana in February 2014. On September 27, 2014, Exelis Inc. completed the spin-off (the Spin-off) of Vectrus, Inc. and Vectrus, Inc. became an independent, publicly traded company. References in these notes to "Exelis" or "Former Parent" refer to Exelis Inc., an Indiana corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than Vectrus, Inc.). Exelis was acquired by a predecessor entity of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. in May 2015. Unless the context otherwise requires or unless stated otherwise, references in these notes to "V2X", "we," "us," "our," "the Company" and "our Company" refer to V2X, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries, taken together as a whole, and does not include Vertex Aerospace Services Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (Vertex), and/or its consolidated subsidiaries as of July 1, 2022. On July 5, 2022 (the Closing Date), the Company completed its previously announced business transaction with Vertex, Andor Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Merger Sub LLC), and Andor Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub Inc.), thereby forming V2X, Inc. (the Merger). For a description of the Merger, see Note 15. Su bsequent Event, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Equity Investments In 2011, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc., which is now APTIM Federal Services LLC. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, High Desert Support Services, LLC (HDSS) was established to pursue and perform work on the Ft. Irwin Installation Support Services Contract, which was awarded to HDSS in October 2012. In 2018, we entered into a joint venture agreement with J&J Maintenance. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, J&J Facilities Support, LLC (J&J) was established to pursue and perform work on various U.S. government contracts. In 2020, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Kuwait Resources House for Human Resources Management a nd Services Company . Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, ServCore Resources and Services Solutions, LLC. (ServCore) was established to operate and manage labor and life support services outside of the continental United States at designated locations serviced by V2X and other contractors around the world. We account for our investments in HDSS, J&J, and ServCore under the equity method as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not hold a controlling interest in these entities. We record our proportionate 40 %, 50 %, and 40 % shares, respectively, of income or losses from HDSS, J&J, and ServCore in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Our investment in these joint ventures is recorded in other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When we receive cash distributions from our equity method investments, the cash distribution is compared to cumulative earnings and cumulative cash distributions. Cash distributions received are recorded as a return on investment in operating cash flows within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the extent cumulative cash distributions are less than cumulative earnings. Any cash distributions in excess of cumulative earnings are recorded as a return of investment in investing cash flows within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we made a cash contribution of $ 2.1 million to our joint ventures and received a $ 0.8 million cash distribution. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our joint venture investment balance was $ 6.7 million and $ 5.4 million, respectively. Our proportionate share of income from the HDSS, J&J, and ServCore joint ventures was immaterial for the first two quarters of both 2022 and 2021. Basis of Presentation Our quarterly financial periods end on the Friday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter (July 1, 2022 for the second quarter of 2022 and July 2, 2021 for the second quarter of 2021), except for the last quarter of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as "three months ended." The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of V2X have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. have been omitted. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 9 Table of Contents should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. Revenue and net income for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Restricted Cash The Company had restricted cash of $ 3.3 million related to collateral security for two outstanding letters of credit at July 1, 2022 and no restricted cash as of December 31, 2021. Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of July 1, 2022 is presented in the following table: (In thousands) July 1, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 31,760 Restricted cash 3,311 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 35,071 NOTE 2 RECENT AC COUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). The amendment requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contract. The amendment also provides certain practical expedients when applying the guidance. ASU No. 2021-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2021-08 to its consolidated financial statements and expects to early adopt ASU 2021-08 during 2022 in conjunction with the Merger (See Note 15. Subsequent Event, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Accounting Standards That Were Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04). To ease the burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting, the ASU provides companies with optional expedients and exceptions for applying accounting guidance to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2022. It did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. NOTE 3 REVENUE Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue in ASC Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, consideration is given as to whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to perform an integrated set of tasks and deliverables as a single service solution, whereby each service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and therefore is not distinct. As a result, when this integrated set of tasks exists, the contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The vast majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation. Unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts are considered to be separate performance obligations when the option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. If the modification either creates new enforceable rights and obligations or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations, the modification will be treated as a separate contract. Our contract modifications, except for those to exercise option years, have historically not been distinct from the existing contract and have been accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are provided throughout the contract term. We recognize revenue over time using the input method (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress. Our over time recognition is reinforced by the fact that our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services as they are performed. For most U.S. government contracts, this continuous 10 Table of Contents transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. This continuous transfer of control requires that we track progress towards completion of performance obligations in order to measure and recognize revenue. The Company's contracts are multi-year contracts and typically include an initial period of one year or less with annual one-year or less option periods . The number of option periods varies by contract, and there is no guarantee that an option period will be exercised. The right to exercise an option period is at the sole discretion of the U.S. government when we are the prime contractor or of the prime contractor when we are a subcontractor. We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. government or the prime contractor may cancel any contract at any time through a termination for convenience or for cause. Substantially all of our contracts have terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and fees for work performed in the event of a termination for convenience. Remaining performance obligations as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are presented in the following table: July 1, December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Performance Obligations $ 1,599 $ 1,398 As of July 1, 2022, we expect to recognize approximately 57 % of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2022 and the remaining 43 % d uring 2023. Contract Estimates Accounting for contracts and programs involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include: labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the services being performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and negotiations with the customer on contract modifications. When the estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of the transaction price, a provision for the entire loss is determined at a contract level and is recognized in the period in which the loss was determined. The impact of adjustments in contract estimates on our operating income can be reflected in either revenue or cost of revenue. Cumulative catch-up adjustments for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 increased operating income by $ 6.8 million and $ 7.4 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, the adjustments decreased operating income by $ 1.7 million and $ 3.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 the cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income increased revenue by $ 6.8 million and $ 7.4 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, the cumulative catch-up adjustments to operating income decreased revenue by $ 1.7 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively. Revenue by Category Generally, the sales price elements for our contracts are cost-plus, cost-reimbursable or firm-fixed-price. We commonly have elements of cost-plus, cost-reimbursable and firm-fixed-price contracts on a single contract. On a cost-plus type contract, we are paid our allowable incurred costs plus a profit, which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement, up to funding levels predetermined by our customers. On cost-plus type contracts, we do not bear the risks of unexpected cost overruns, provided that we do not incur costs that exceed the predetermined funded amounts. Most of our cost-plus contracts also contain a firm-fixed price element. Cost-plus type contracts with award and incentive fee provisions are our primary variable contract fee arrangement. Award fees provide for a fee based on actual performance relative to contractually specified performance criteria. Incentive fees provide for a fee based on the relationship between total allowable and target cost. On most of our contracts, a cost-reimbursable element captures consumable materials required for the contract. Typically, these costs do not bear fees. On a firm-fixed-price type contract, we agree to perform the contractual statement of work for a predetermined contract price. A firm-fixed-price type contract typically offers higher profit margin potential than a cost-plus type contract, which is commensurate with the greater levels of risk we assume on a firm-fixed-price type contract. Although a firm-fixed-price type contract generally permits us to retain profits if the total actual contract costs are less than the estimated contract costs, we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to sustain losses on the contract. Although the overall scope of work required under the contract may not change, profit may be adjusted as experience is gained and as efficiencies are realized or costs are incurred. On a time-and-materials type contract, we are reimbursed for labor at fixed hourly rates and generally reimbursed separately for allowable materials, costs, and expenses at cost. For this contract type, we bear the risk when our labor costs and allocable indirect expenses exceed the fixed hourly rate specified within the contract. 11 Table of Contents The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by several categories.

Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly). Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we may receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These advance billings and payments are not considered significant financing components because they are frequently intended to fund current operating expenses under the contract. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contract assets of $ 277.6 million and $ 240.0 million, respectively. Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables which represent rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees that are: (i) billable immediately; 12 Table of Contents (ii) billable on contract completion; or (iii) billable upon other specified events, such as the resolution of a request for equitable adjustment. Refer to Note 4. "Receivables" for additional information regarding the composition of our receivable balances. As of both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our contract liabilities were insignificant. NOTE 4 RECEIVABLES Receivables were comprised of the following: (In thousands) July 1, 2022 December 31, 2021 Billed receivables $ 91,985 $ 104,074 Unbilled receivables (contract assets) 277,583 239,979 Other 5,412 4,552 Total receivables $ 374,980 $ 348,605 As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all billed receivables are due from the U.S. government, either directly as prime contractor to the U.S. government or as subcontractor to another prime contractor to the U.S. government. Because the Company's billed receivables are with the U.S. government, the Company does not believe it has a material credit risk exposure. Unbilled receivables are contract assets that represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of amounts billed as of the balance sheet date. We expect to bill customers for the majority of the July 1, 2022 contract assets during 2022. C hanges in the balance of receivables are primarily due to the timing differences between our performance and customers' payments. NOTE 5 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the carrying amount of goodwill was $ 321.7 million. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on the first day of the Company's fourth fiscal quarter each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following: July 1, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In thousands) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Contract backlogs and recompetes $ 77,300 $ ( 18,568 ) $ 58,732 $ 77,300 $ ( 14,988 ) $ 62,312 Customer contracts 7,200 ( 4,293 ) 2,907 7,200 ( 3,572 ) 3,628 Trade names and other 1,249 ( 729 ) 520 1,249 ( 607 ) 642 Balance $ 85,749 $ ( 23,590 ) $ 62,159 $ 85,749 $ ( 19,167 ) $ 66,582 Identifiable intangible asset amortization expense was $ 2.1 million and $ 4.4 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. Intangible asset amortization for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 was $ 2.4 million and $ 4.9 million, respectively. As of July 1, 2022, the remaining average intangible asset amortization period was 9.0 years . Future estimated amortization expense is as follows (in thousands): Period Amortization 2022 (remainder of the year) $ 4,244 2023 $ 8,486 2024 $ 7,379 2025 $ 6,582 2026 $ 6,112 After 2026 $ 29,356 13 Table of Contents NOTE 6 DEBT Senior Secured Credit Facilities Term Loan and Revolver . In September 2014, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vectrus Systems Corporation (VSC), entered into a credit agreement. The credit agreement was subsequently amended on December 24, 2020 and January 24, 2022 and is collectively referred to as the Amended Agreement. The credit agreement consists of a term loan (Amended Term Loan) and a $ 270.0 million revolving credit facility (Amended Revolver) as of July 1, 2022. The Amended Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to draw up to an additional $ 100.0 million, subject to the lender's consent on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. The Amended Agreement also permits the Company to borrow up to $ 75.0 million in unsecured debt as long as the aggregated sum of both the unsecured debt and the accordion does not exceed $ 100.0 million. The Amended Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to $ 2.6 million for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2022 through September 30, 2023, with the balance of $ 37.2 million due on November 15, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Term Loan that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by the maturity dates. As of July 1, 2022, the balance outstanding under the Amended Term Loan was $ 50.2 million . The Amended Revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. There were $ 40.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver at July 1, 2022. Up to $ 25.0 million of the Amended Revolver is available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of July 1, 2022, there were two letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $ 3.2 million, which reduced our borrowing availability under the Amended Revolver to $ 226.8 million. At December 31, 2021, there were $ 50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver. The Amended R evolver will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on November 15, 2023 . The aggregate scheduled maturities of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver as of July 1, 2022, are as follows: (In thousands) Payments due 2022 (remainder of the year) $ 5,200 2023 85,000 Total $ 90,200 Guarantees and Collateral. The indebtedness and other obligations under the Amended Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our restricted subsidiaries and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all of our tangible assets and those of each domestic guarantor. Voluntary Prepayments. We may voluntarily prepay the Amended Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs under certain conditions. Voluntary prepayments of the Amended Term Loan will be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by us. We may reduce commitments under the Amended Revolver in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Covenants . The Amended Agreement contains customary covenants, including covenants that, under certain circumstances and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions: limit or restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase certain debt; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, we are required to comply with (a) a maximum ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 3.00 to 1.00 ( 3.50 to 1.00 for the 12 months following a qualified acquisition), and (b) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (net of cash interest income) of 4.50 to 1.00. As of July 1, 2022, we had a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA of 1.09 to 1.00 and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 12.41 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Agreement as of July 1, 2022. Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at a per annum rate of (i) SOFR p lus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.85 % to 2.60 % depending on the leverage ratio, or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.75 % to 1.50 % depending on the leverage ratio. The interest rate under the Amended Agreement at July 1, 2022 was 3.63 % . We pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Amended Revolver ranging from 0.30 % to 0.45 %, depending on the leverage ratio. Carrying Value and Fair Value. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Amended Agreement approximated the carrying value because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest. The fair value is based on 14 Table of Contents observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt. NOTE 7 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS During the periods covered by this report, we have made no changes to our policies or strategies for the use of derivative instruments and there has been no change in our related accounting methods. For our derivative instruments, which are designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses are initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently recognized in earnings with the corresponding hedged item. Interest Rate Derivative Instruments On June 29, 2022, in conjunction with our planned extinguishment of the related hedged debt interest expense, we terminated our remaining interest rate swaps that were designated and qualified as effective cash flow hedges (See Note 15. Subsequent Event in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Interest rate swap losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss upon termination were immaterial. The following table summarizes the amount at fair value and balance sheet caption of the derivative instruments used for our interest rate hedges in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021: (In thousands) Fair Value Balance sheet caption Amount Interest rate swap designated as cash flow hedge Other accrued liabilities $ 666 Net interest rate derivative losses of $ 0.4 million and $ 0.5 million were recognized in interest expense, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at July 1, 2022 and had outstanding forward contracts with a current liability value of less than $ 0.1 million at December 31, 2021. Net foreign currency derivative gains and losses recognized in SG&A expenses during the first six months of 2022 and 2021 were immaterial. NOTE 8 LEASES We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office space, apartments, vehicles, and machinery and equipment. Our operating leases have lease terms of less than one year to ten years . We do not separate lease components from non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance) but account for both components in a contract as a single lease component. The components of lease expense are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021 July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021 Operating lease expense $ 3,608 $ 2,240 $ 7,281 $ 4,065 Variable lease expense 130 213 260 415 Short-term lease expense 24,461 17,289 38,130 30,737 Total lease expense $ 28,199 $ 19,742 $ 45,671 $ 35,217 15 Table of Contents Supplemental balance sheet information related to our operating leases is as follows: (In thousands) July 1, 2022 December 31, 2021 Right-of-use assets $ 39,705 $ 43,651 Current lease liabilities (recorded in Other accrued liabilities) $ 12,334 $ 11,983 Long-term lease liabilities (recorded in Operating lease liability) 30,719 34,536 Total operating lease liabilities $ 43,053 $ 46,519 Additional right-of-use assets of $ 2.6 million we re recognized as non-cash asset additions that resulted from new operating lease liabilities during the first six months of 2022 . The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases at July 1, 2022 was 5.1 years and 3.8 %, respectively. Maturities of lease liabilities at July 1, 2022 were as follows: (In thousands) Payments due 2022 (remainder of the year) $ 6,675 2023 13,274 2024 8,700 2025 4,650 2026 3,980 After 2026 10,722 Total minimum lease payments 48,001 Less: Imputed interest ( 4,948 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 43,053 NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to employment matters, matters in connection with our contracts and matters arising under laws relating to the protection of the environment. Additionally, U.S. government customers periodically advise the Company of claims and penalties concerning certain potential disallowed costs. When such findings are presented, V2X and the U.S. government representatives engage in discussions to enable V2X to evaluate the merits of these claims as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect probable losses related to the matters raised by the U.S. government representatives. Such assessments, along with any assessments regarding provisions for legal proceedings, are reviewed on a quarterly basis for sufficiency based on the most recent information available to us. We have estimated and accrued $ 9.8 million and $ 9.6 million as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in "Other accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for legal proceedings and for claims with respect to our U.S. government contracts as discussed below, including years where the U.S. government has not completed its incurred cost audits. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter or claim cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal or contractual claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, including the lawsuit discussed below, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations or financial condition. 16 Table of Contents U.S. Government Contracts, Investigations and Claims We have U.S. government contracts that are funded incrementally on a year-to-year basis. Changes in U.S. government policies, priorities or funding levels through agency or program budget reductions by the U.S. Congress or executive agencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, our contracts with the U.S. government may be terminated or suspended by the U.S. government at any time, with or without cause. Such contract suspensions or terminations could result in unreimbursable expenses or charges or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Departments and agencies of the U.S. government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory or treble damages. U.S. government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracts or the loss of export privileges for a company or an operating division or subdivision. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on U.S. government contracts. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and others, routinely audit and review our performance on U.S. government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. Accordingly, costs billed or billable to U.S. government customers are subject to potential adjustment upon audit by such agencies. The U.S. government agencies also review the adequacy of our compliance with U.S. government standards for our business systems, including our accounting, earned value management, estimating, materials management and accounting, purchasing, and property management systems. As a result of final indirect rate negotiations between the U.S. government and our Former Parent, we were subject to adjustments to costs previously allocated by our Former Parent to our business from 2007 through 2014. On July 7, 2022, we accepted an offer by the U.S. government to settle this legal matter involving our payment of an insignificant amount, thereby bringing closure to the matter. With respect to our Former Parent, we believe we are fully indemnified under our distribution agreement and have notified our Former Parent of the closure of our appeal of the U.S. government's decision in this matter. COVID-19 Pandemic On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world have taken unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, social distancing guidelines, and restrictions on employees going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic impacts of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets. The Company has observed, and continues to experience, some disruptions to its operations due to government and supply chain delays related to the global pandemic. While the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts the Company’s future results will depend on future developments, the pandemic and associated economic impacts, particularly with respect to newly issued vaccine mandates for government contractors and subcontractors, could result in a material impact to the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, the impact of COVID-19 was immaterial to our financial results. NOTE 10 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company maintains an equity incentive plan, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of May 13, 2016 (the 2014 Omnibus Plan), to govern awards granted to V2X employees and directors, including nonqualified stock options (NQOs), restricted stock units (RSUs), total shareholder return (TSR) awards and other awards. We account for NQOs and stock-settled RSUs as equity-based compensation awards. TSR awards, described below, and cash-settled RSUs are accounted for as liability-based compensation awards. Stock-based compensation expense and the associated tax benefits impacting our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021 July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021 Compensation costs for equity-based awards $ 1,575 $ 2,003 $ 4,676 $ 3,986 Compensation costs for liability-based awards 592 298 50 937 Total compensation costs, pre-tax $ 2,167 $ 2,301 $ 4,725 $ 4,923 Future tax benefit $ 466 $ 500 $ 1,017 $ 1,069 17 Table of Contents Liability-based awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in fair value. As of July 1, 2022, total unrecognized compensation costs related to equity-based awards and liability-based awards were $ 8.3 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively, which are expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of 2.00 years and 2.17 years, respe ctively. The following table provides a summary of the activities for NQOs and RSUs for the six months ended July 1, 2022: NQOs RSUs (In thousands, except per share data) Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Outstanding at January 1, 2022 59 $ 23.19 245 $ 51.18 Granted — $ — 231 $ 35.89 Exercised ( 16 ) $ 24.43 — $ — Vested — $ — ( 130 ) $ 43.78 Forfeited or expired — $ — ( 15 ) $ 40.24 Outstanding at July 1, 2022 43 $ 22.76 331 $ 42.19 During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we granted long-term incentive awards to employees consisting of 208,397 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $ 36.09 and to our directors consisting of 22,309 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $ 34.07 . For employee RSUs, one-third of the award vests on each of the three anniversary dates following the grant date. Director RSUs were granted on May 13, 2022 with 3,229 scheduled to vest on the Closing Date and the balance scheduled to vest on May 12, 2023. The fair value of each RSU grant to employees and directors was determined based on the closing price of V2X common stock on the date of grant. Stock compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the vesting period of the awards. Total Shareholder Return Awards TSR awards are performance-based cash awards that are subject to a three-year performance period. Any payments earned are made in cash following completion of the performance period according to the achievement of specified performance goals. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we granted TSR awards with an outstanding aggregate target TSR value of $ 2.8 million. The fair value of TSR awards is measured quarterly and is based on the Company’s performance relative to the performance of the Aerospace and Defense Companies in the S&P 1500 Index. Depending on the Company’s performance during the three-year performance period, payments can range from 0 % to 200 % of the target value. NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES Effective Tax Rate Income tax expense during interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate, plus discrete items that may occur in any given interim periods. The computation of the estimated effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and judgment including, but not limited to, forecasted operating income for the year, projections of the income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, newly enacted tax rate and legislative changes, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. For the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, we recorded an income tax provision of $ 2.6 million and $ 4.4 million, representing effective income tax rates of 19.8 % and 21.6 %, respectively. For the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, we recorded income tax provisions of $ 3.3 and $ 6.9 million, representing effective income tax rates of 19.8 % and 19.9 %, respectively. The effective income tax rates vary from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to state and foreign taxes, required tax income exclusions, nondeductible expenses, available deductions not reflected in book income, and income tax credits. Uncertain Tax Provisions As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions were $ 10.1 million and $ 9.3 million, respectively. The increase in the uncertain tax positions was principally the result of the additional Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction as the Company reserves a portion of the FDII benefit claimed or expected to be claimed on its income tax return filings. 18 Table of Contents NOTE 12 EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation outstanding after application of the treasury stock method. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 1, July 2, July 1, July 2, (In thousands, except per share data) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income $ 10,472 $ 15,934 $ 13,327 $ 27,982 Weighted average common shares outstanding 11,826 11,715 11,793 11,681 Add: Dilutive impact of stock options 18 37 22 40 Add: Dilutive impact of restricted stock units 110 76 102 102 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 11,954 11,828 11,917 11,823 Earnings per share Basic $ 0.89 $ 1.36 $ 1.13 $ 2.40 Diluted $ 0.88 $ 1.35 $ 1.12 $ 2.37 The following table summarizes the weighted average of anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

The assets in the plan are held in a Rabbi trust. Plan investments and obligations were recorded in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, representing the fair value related to the deferred compensation plan. Adjustments to the fair value of the plan investments and obligations are recorded in SG&A expenses. The plan assets and liabilities were $ 0.9 million and $ 0.5 million as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. NOTE 14 MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLAN Certain Company employees who perform work on contracts within the continental United States participate in a multiemployer pension plan of which the Company is not the sponsor. Expense recognized for this plan was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively, and $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively. NOTE 15 SUBSEQUENT EVENT Merger On the Closing Date, Vectrus, Inc. completed its previously announced Merger with Vertex, a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Vertex . O n the Closing Date, Vertex and its consolidated subsidiaries became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We recognized $ 5.9 million an d $ 14.9 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed as incurred during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. These costs are included in SG&A expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income . 19 Table of Contents Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase business combination. As such, the Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible fo r tax purposes. The Company expects to finalize its purchase price allocation in 2023 after we have further analyzed and assessed a number of the factors used in establishing the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date including, but not limited to, contractual and operational factors underlying the customer-related intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; details surrounding tax matters; and assumptions underlying certain existing or potential reserves, such as those for legal and environmental matters. The final fair value determination could result in material adjustments. The Closing Date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $ 634 million , w hich was comprised of the following: ($ in millions, except share and per share amounts) Purchase Price Shares of V2X common stock issued 18,591,866 Market price per share of V2X as of Closing Date $ 33.92 Fair value of common shares issued $ 631 Fair value of cash consideration $ 3 Total consideration transferred $ 634 Debt Outstanding debt from the Company’s Amended Agreement (See Note 6. Debt, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) was repaid on the Merger Closing Date and related guarantees and liens were discharged and released. Repayment was made using proceeds from the Vertex First Lien Credit Agreement described below. Senior Secured Credit Facilities Senior Secured Credit Facilities .
