Contract Balances

Unbilled receivables (contract assets) represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to the customer prior to us having the right to payment for such goods or services. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying related performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time.
We present our unbilled receivables and contract liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. If a contract liability exists, it is netted against the loan agreementunbilled receivables balance for revolving loans and letters of credit as of September 30, 2017 was $150 million. We may borrow and repay the revolving loan borrowings as our cash flows require or permit. We pay an unused commitment fee and fees on letters of credit that are issued. We had approximately $82.1 million in revolving loan amounts outstanding and no letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017. We had approximately $100.4 million in revolving loan amounts outstanding and no letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

Under the loan agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan facility, the revolving loan facility, or both facilities up to an aggregate additional amount of $75 million.

Total bank loan borrowed funds outstanding, including term loan borrowings and revolving loan borrowings,contract. Unbilled receivables were approximately $182.1 million and $216.3$44.1 million as of September 30, 20172022 and $31.9 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively. These amounts exclude unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $1.3 million2021. Contract liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses and $1.7other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, were $7.7 million as of September 30, 20172022 and $7.1 million as of December 31, 2016,2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities of $2.7 million.

Performance Obligations

Our performance obligations are satisfied either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time are primarily related to the sales of vehicle and aircraft parts in our Fleet and Aviation segments. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 57% and 59% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately 57% and 52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time are primarily related to revenues in our Federal and Defense segment and MRO services in our Aviation segment. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 43% and 41% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 43% and 48% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction prices allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations was $199 million. The performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 96% and 4%, respectively. We have applied the practical expedient for certain parts sales and MRO services to exclude the amount of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which are being amortized over a five-year period through July 2020. The fair valuewe recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material.

(4)(6) Commitments and Contingencies


Contingencies


Hawaii Litigation

In 2012,We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the estatesnormal conduct of five deceased individuals and their relatives filed complaints in a state court in Hawaii against VSE and other entities and individuals for unspecified damages, alleging that the explosionits business, none of fireworks and diesel fuel that killed the five individuals in April 2011 was caused by negligence of VSE and the other defendants. The five deceased plaintiffs were employees of a vendor retained by VSE to dispose of fireworks and other explosives seized by the federal government. In September 2017, VSE together with its insurance carriers, agreed in principle with all of the plaintiffs to settle this litigation. The settlement documents are being finalized and the settlement will be fully funded by VSE’s insurers, resulting in no material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. We have recorded as of September 30, 2017 a liability for our estimated amount of the settlement and a related receivable from our insurers for our estimated recovery, which we believe, is probable of recovery based on our evaluation of insurance coverage and the insurers’ agreement and abilitycurrent information, is expected to fully fund the settlement. 

Aviation Litigation

In November 2016, a lawsuit, Arrieta et al vs. Prime Turbines LLC et al, was filed in the District Court of Texas in Dallas County, by Edgar Arrieta, and four other plaintiffs against VSE subsidiaries, Kansas Aviation of Independence, L.L.C. and Prime Turbines LLC, and three other unrelated defendants. The other named defendants are Pratt & Whitney of Canada Corporation, Cessna Aircraft Company and Woodward Inc. The plaintiffs allege that on April 1, 2016, a plane crashed resulting in the death of three plaintiffs and serious injuries to six other plaintiffs and that VSE's subsidiaries were negligent in providing maintenance, service and inspection of the airplane engine prior to the crash. Plaintiffs are seeking monetary relief over $1.0 million from the defendants. Trial is scheduled for May 2018. VSE together with its insurance carrier, will aggressively defend the proceedings. While the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated, we do not anticipate that this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation, financial condition,operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

In addition to the above-referenced legal proceedings, we may have certain claims in the normal course of business, including legal proceedings, against us and against other parties. In our opinion, the resolution of these other claims will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, because the results of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.


Further, from time-to-time, government agencies audit or investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable contractual and regulatory requirements. Government audits or investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes, audits and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position,condition or cash flows.

(7)(8) Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value, and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.

The fair value hierarchy established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

Level 1–Observable inputs–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2–Observable inputs-other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities–includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

Level 3–Unobservable inputs–includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.


The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 20162021 and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Non-Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI")

Non-COLI assets held in theour deferred supplemental compensationcompensation plan consist of equity funds with fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.
We account for our interest rate swap agreements under the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and have determined that our swap agreements qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges. The fair value of the swap agreements was approximately $218 thousand and $73 thousand at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The offset, net of an income tax effect of approximately $84 thousand and $28 thousand, was included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Derivatives

On July 22, 2022, we executed two SOFR-based forward-starting fixed interest rate swaps with a fixed rate of 2.8% that hedge the variability in interest payments of $150 million of floating rate debt. The tenor of these five-year swaps will begin on October 31, 2022. We have designated, and will account for, these fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2022, we had $5.4 million. net of an income tax effect of $1.8 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets related to these cash flow hedges. We estimate that we will reclassify $2.0 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following September 30, 2022.

We were a party to two fixed interest rate swaps, entered into in fiscal 2011 and 2012, qualifying as cash flow hedges under which we hedged a portion of our variable-rate debt until the swaps expired in February and March 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of such swaps was $0.2 million, a liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, we had $0.2 million, net of an income tax effect of $58 thousand, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets related to the cash flow hedges. The amounts paid and received on the swaps are recorded in interest expense in the period during which the related floating-rate interest is incurred. We determine

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Global Parts in July 2021, we were required to pay earn-out obligation payments of up to $2.0 million should Global Parts meet certain financial targets during the twelve months following the acquisition and meet a certain milestone event on or before March 2023. Final settlement of the obligation was made during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in the earn-out obligation measured at fair value of the swap agreements based on a valuation modelrecurring basis using primarily observable market data inputs.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and 2016, respectively. cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and amounts included in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying value of our outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to our existing debt arrangements.


(9) Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.



(9) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments, which changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instrumentsOur effective tax rate was 24.4% and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We currently are assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We currently are assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange25.2% for the goods or services.three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 18.8% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The standard is requiredeffective tax rate was higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to be applied either retrospectivelythe same period in the prior year primarily due to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectivelybook expense in connection with the cumulative effectdecline in value of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments andour COLI assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract.

We are in the process of comparing our current revenue recognition policiesperiod ended September 30, 2022 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to the requirements of the new standard for each of our revenue categories and evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements by assessing a selection of contracts. Based on the assessment we have completed thus far, we believe the primary impacts of adopting the new standard will be on (1) the timing of when we recognize revenue on our contracts with award fees, which is currently based on when we receive customer authorization will change to recognition of the award fees as the performance obligation is satisfied resulting in revenue being recognized earlierbook income in the contractsame period, (2) the timing in 2021.

Table of when we recognize revenues and costs on MRO services for aviation clients and certain fixed price delivery contracts will change from the date of delivery to recognition over time as progress is made to satisfy the performance obligation, and (3) the pattern in which we recognize revenue on certain fixed price services contracts may change from a straight-line basis over the contract period to measuring progress using input measures, such as costs incurred. While we have identified these areas of change under the new standard, we are also identifying and implementing changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018. The new standard requires additional detailed disclosures regarding the company’s contracts with customers, including disclosure of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, in the first quarter 2018 which we are continuing to assess. The new standard will be effective beginning January 1, 2018 and we intend to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. The cumulative catch-up adjustment that will be recorded through shareholders’ equity on January 1, 2018 is still being quantified. We will continue evaluating the impact of the standard on our contract portfolio through the date of adoption.Contents

Management Outlook

Our sharpened focus on longer term growth in recent years has produced year over year increases in consolidated revenue through the third quarter of 2017. Our Federal Services Group has been the primary driver of our 2017 increases,market. Market recovery and our Supply Chain Management Group has also contributed to the increase. We are pursuinggrowth initiatives have resulted in each of our groups to sustain our growth.

Revenue on our FMS Program fora 105% and 38% year-over-year increase in distribution and repair revenue, respectively, during the first nine months of 2017 increased 37%2022 compared to the same period for the prior year.

We have recently secured key multi-year distribution agreements to both domestic and new international geographic markets. We believe the new distribution initiatives will provide sustainable and recurring revenue with growth potential that will enhance our future results. The acquisition of Global Parts, in July 2021, broadens our product lines and client base, and we see opportunities to strategically align offerings with both domestic and international markets.

We expect that the current market conditions will result in strategic opportunities for near and long-term growth. We intend to continue capitalizing on opportunities in those markets, which may require future investment.

Fleet Segment

Our Fleet segment continues to increase revenue from commercial fleet customers and e-commerce fulfillment sales as the business continues to progress towards becoming a more diversified enterprise. We continue to execute on our revenue diversification strategy as we capture new customers and increase revenue within e-commerce fulfillment. To support continued e-commerce and e-commerce fulfillment growth, the Fleet segment announced plans to open a new distribution warehouse and e-commerce fulfillment center of excellence in Olive Branch, Mississippi (in the greater Memphis, Tennessee area). This new center of excellence will double the size of Fleet's current warehouse footprint while extending Fleet’s geographic reach and expanding product offerings for customers. Operations are expected to commence at this new location in early 2023 and will enable Fleet to successfully meet the rapidly growing demand for the e-commerce fulfillment business. Commercial customer revenue continues to see a strong growth trend, increasing approximately 23% and 50% during the quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Commercial revenues were 40% of total Fleet segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 30% for the same period in the prior year, over year, resultingdemonstrating the continued success of our strategic multi-year diversification strategy.

Federal and Defense Segment

Our Federal and Defense segment continues to focus on building our contract backlog and optimizing legacy programs. We recently announced a transition of leadership for our Federal and Defense segment as we work to grow our business and mitigate the impacts of delays in part fromboth the transfertiming of two frigatescontract awards and the funding process. Strong revenue performance in U.S Navy work enabled us to Taiwan completedsuccessfully grow our third quarter revenue for this segment despite anticipated declines in March 2017, and from intensified marketing efforts to support FMS client countries. Revenue from our equipment sustainment, refurbishment, logistics support, and parts supply services for our U.S. Army clients also increased. work due to program completions.

Permanent differences such as foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") deduction, Section 162(m) limitation, capital gains tax treatment, state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and other items caused differences between our statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate and our effective tax rate. The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily resulted from book expense in connection with the decline in the value of our Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets in the period ended September 30 2022 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to book income in the same period in 2021.

Revenues. Revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to revenues from our Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program with the U.S. Navy, partially offset by declines in our U.S. Army work due to program completions.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue from commercial customers hasand a shift in our contract mix to a larger proportion of cost-type contracts.

Costs and operating expenses increased 25%for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue, an increase in the proportion of cost-type contracts within our contract mix, and a $3.5 million loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on a yearfixed-price, non-DoD contract with a foreign customer driven by higher than anticipated supply chain material and labor costs.

Operating income. Operating income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to date basis through the third quarter of 2017. Through our direct marketing efforts, we are capturing and on-boarding new commercial customers at an accelerated pace. Our commercial client base now includes companies in food distribution, oil field services, waste management, linen and uniform, commercial long haul shipping, bus transportation, and other clients that have vehicle fleets required to meet mission critical delivery or service schedules. We are also capturing new customers and increasing revenue using e-commerce solutions. We aresame period in the beginning stagesprior year primarily due to the completion of a U.S. Army program and a shift in our relationship with manycontract mix to a larger portion of these new clients,cost-type contracts, which generally provide lower profit margins than fixed-price and we look forwardT&M contract types.

Operating income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to further developing these relationshipsthe same period in the prior year primarily due to the completion of a U.S. Army program, an increase in the portion of cost-type contracts, and adding new clients to grow our revenues from commercial markets.

We continue to closely monitor the USPS delivery vehicle procurement efforts and are positioning ourselves to support both newly procured vehicles as they are placed in service and old vehicles that remain in service. Overall, USPS buying levels of parts and services provided by our Supply Chain Management Group to support the current vehicle fleet have been steady. While we cannot predict with certainty the impact of the USPS new delivery vehicle deployment on our future revenues, we believe that our years of service and knowledge of this client’s needs strategically position us to continue to serve as a key strategic vehicle fleet sustainment partner. We will remain agile and support this client during its complex vehicle procurement initiative.

Our Aviation Group is pursuing multiple opportunities to promote future revenue growth. This includes teaming with our Federal Services Group to provide aviation related logistics, material sourcing, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) support to our U.S. and international government client base, and extending our gas turbine MRO competency to maritime applications. We are pursuing new aviation supply chain and distribution agreements with key original equipment manufacturers and adding new MRO engine programs to our offerings. We are expanding our geographic distribution footprint and strengthening our international business development efforts through key strategic relationships and hiring initiatives.

We have reduced our bank debtcontract loss recognized during the second and third quarters of 2017 by approximately $35 million and our leverage ratio has declined. We anticipate further progress in this regardperiod as we go forward.described above.





Bookings and Funded Backlog


Our funded backlog represents the estimated remaining value of work to be performed under firm contracts. Bookings for our Aviation and Fleet segments occur at the time of sale. Accordingly, our Aviation and Fleet segments do not generally have funded contract backlog and backlog is not an indicator of their potential future revenues. Revenues for federal government contract work performed by our Federal Services Groupand Defense segment depend on contract funding (“("bookings”), and bookings generally occur when contract funding documentation is received. Funded contract backlog is an indicator of potential future revenue. While bookings and funded contract backlog generally result in revenue, we may occasionally have funded contract backlog that expires or is de-obligated upon contract completion and does not generate revenue.


A summary of our bookings and revenues for our Federal Services Groupand Defense segment for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and funded contract backlog as of September 30, 20172022 and 2016 was2021 is as follows (in millions):

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is subject to a review for impairment at least annually. We perform an annual review of goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter and whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach, market approach, and comparative transactions approach with the heaviest weighting placed on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on our estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the business and the projected cash flows.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis for each of our reporting units with goodwill. The results of the impairment analysis indicated that our reporting units had fair values substantially in excess of their carrying values with the exception of our Akimeka and VSE Aviation reporting units.

The fair value of our Akimeka reporting unit, within our Federal Services Group, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 7% as of our 2016 annual goodwill impairment analysis. Akimeka had experienced a reduction in services performed in prior years due to a decline in services ordered by clients on contracts and a loss of work performed on expiring contracts for which the follow-on work was often awarded to small businesses as set-aside contracts. Based on these circumstances and Akimeka's revenues and operating income for the first nine months of 2017, we performed an interim goodwill impairment during the third quarter. The result of this impairment analysis shows that Akimeka’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12%. Based on the results of our analysis, our assessment is that we remain at risk of a future goodwill impairment if there is further deterioration of projected cash flows or negative changes in market factors, such as an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach or decreases in the market multiples used in the market approach. The carrying value of Akimeka as of September 30, 2017 included goodwill of approximately $29.8 million.

The fair value of our VSE Aviation reporting unit, within our Aviation Group, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10% as of our 2016 annual goodwill impairment analysis. While there has not been a significant contract or customer loss, VSE Aviation’s revenue and operating income for the first nine months of 2017 did not meet our cash flow projections utilized in our 2016 annual impairment analysis. This decrease was primarily related to a decreased demand for new parts and slower than anticipated development of new business opportunities. We believe that these conditions are temporary and that the overall outlook for our Aviation business remains consistent with our long-term projections. However, based on the current operating performance, we have determined that VSE Aviation is at risk of a future goodwill impairment if there are future declines in our projections or if we are unsuccessful in implementing our revenue growth plans. Additionally, the fair value could be adversely affected by other market factors such as an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach or decreases in the market multiples used in the market approach. The carrying value of our VSE Aviation reporting unit included goodwill of approximately $104.5 million as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, we have no intangible assets with indefinite lives and we had an aggregate of approximately $199 million of goodwill associated with our acquisitions.

These costs will generally increase or decrease in conjunction

with our level of products sold or contract work performed. Costs and operating expenses also include expense for amortization of intangible assets acquired through our acquisitions. Expense for amortization of acquisition related intangible assets is included in the segment results in which the acquisition is included. Segment results also include expense for an allocation of corporate management costs.

Changes in revenues, costs and operating expenses, and operating income are further discussed in the summaries of our segment results that follow.

Interest expense decreased approximately $248 thousand for the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same period of 2016, due primarily to a decrease in our average level of bank borrowing in 2017. Interest expense also includes interest associated with capitalized construction costs related to our executive and administrative headquarters facility lease. The amount of interest expense associated with this capital lease in the first nine months of 2017 was approximately $1.1 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2016.

Our effective tax rate was 36.6% and 36.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, Federal and 2016, respectively. Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur.

Revenues for our Federal Services Group increased approximately $5.0 million or 6% for the third quarter of 2017 and approximately $81.1 million or 36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods of 2016. Items affecting our third quarter revenue on a year to year comparative basis include a net increase in revenues of approximately $7 million on various U. S. Army contracts, a decrease of approximately $6 million in revenues on our FMS Program, and changes in the level of work on other program efforts. Items affecting our first nine months revenue on a year to year comparative basis include an increase of approximately $35 million in revenues on our FMS Program, increased revenues of approximately $24 million due to the start of our RRAD ERS Program in the second quarter of 2016, and changes in the level of work on other program efforts.

Costs and operating expenses increased approximately $4 million or 5% for the third quarter of 2017 and approximately $75.7 million or 34% for the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods of 2016. The increases in costs and operating expenses are primarily attributable to the increased level of work associated with our revenue increases.


Operating income increased by approximately $943 thousand or 57% for the third quarter of 2017 and approximately $5 million or 108% for the first nine months of 2017, compared to the same periods of 2016. The increases in operating income resulted primarily from an increase of award fees earned on our FMS Program of approximately $2.3 million for the first nine months; from an improvement in profit margins on vehicle and equipment refurbishment, maintenance, and sustainment work supporting various U.S. Army and Army Reserve programs; and from increases in revenues. Award fee evaluations on our FMS program occur three times per year. We typically recognize award fee revenue and income on this program in the first, second, and fourth quarters each year. Operating income was adversely affected by a contract related loss of approximately $1.2 million for the third quarter and approximately $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2017. We expect no further loss on this contract prior to its expected completion in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Financial Condition

There has been no material adverse change in our financial condition in the first nine months of 2017. Changes to asset and liability accounts were due primarily to our earnings, our level of business activity, the timing of inventory purchases, contract delivery schedules, subcontractor and vendor payments required to perform our contract work, and the timing of associated billings to and collections from our customers.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $44 thousand during the first nine months of 2017.

Cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $11.1 million in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the first nine months of 2016. The change is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $6.3 million due to changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, an increase of approximately $2.7 million in non-cash operating activities, and an increase of approximately $2.1 million in cash provided by net income.

A significant portion of our accounts payable decreases in the first nine months of 2017 resulted from payments for inventory purchases made by our Aviation Group and subcontractor work performed on our FMS program in 2016. Our levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable may fluctuate depending on the timing of services ordered and products sold, government funding delays, the timing of billings received from subcontractors and materials vendors, and the timing of payments received for services. Such timing differences have the potential to cause significant increases and decreases in our inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable balances in short time periods, and accordingly, can cause significant increases or decreases in our cash provided by operations.

Cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the first nine months of 2016. Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities increased approximately $14.6 million in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the first nine months of 2016. Cash used in financing activities in 2017 consisted primarily of bank borrowing repayments and payment of dividends. Cash used in financing activities in 2016 consisted primarily of earn-out obligation payments associated with the acquisition of our aviation businesses and payment of dividends.

We paid cash dividends totaling approximately $2.1 million or $0.19 per share in the first nine months of 2017. Our payment of cash dividends is subject to restrictions in our loan agreement, including a restriction on the annual aggregate amount of dividends we may pay. We have paid cash dividends each year since 1973 and have increased our dividend each year since 2004.


Liquidity


Our internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in our level of revenues and associated inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and from profitability. Significant increases or decreases in revenues and inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable can impactaffect our liquidity. Our inventory and accounts payable levels can be affected by the timingIn addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of large opportunistic inventory purchases. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the level of contract work we perform, by the timing of large materials purchases and subcontractor efforts

used in our contracts, and by delays in the award of contractual coverage and funding and payments. Government funding delays can cause delays in our ability to invoice for revenues earned, presenting a potential negative impact on our days sales outstanding.

We also purchase property and equipment; investliquidity include capital expenditures; investments in expansion, improvement, and maintenance of our operational and administrative facilities; and investinvestments in the acquisition of other companies.businesses.


Our primary source of external financing consists of ais from our loan agreement with a bank group that provides forand includes a term loan facility and a revolving loans, andloan facility, which also provides for letters of credit. The termination date of the loan agreement is January 2020. This agreement was implemented in January 2015 concurrent with the acquisition of our aviation businesses. Our outstanding debt of approximately $180.8 million as of September 30, 2017 was net of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $1.3 million.

The term loan requires quarterly installment payments. Our required term loan payments after September 30, 2017 are approximately $5.6 million in 2017, $28.1 million in 2018, $30.0 million in 2019, and $36.3 million in 2020. The amount of term loan borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2017 was $100 million.

The maximum amount of credit available to us under our loan agreement for revolving loans and letters of credit as of September 30, 2017 was $150is $350 million. We may borrow and repayUnder the revolving loan borrowings as our cash flows require or permit. We pay an unused commitment fee and fees on letters of credit that are issued. We had approximately $82.1 million in revolving loan amounts outstanding and no letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017. The timing of certain payments made and collections received associated with our inventory, subcontractor, and materials requirements and other operating expenses can cause fluctuations in our outstanding revolving loan amounts. Delays in government funding of our work performed can also cause additional borrowing requirements.

Under our loan agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan facility, the revolving loan facility, or a combination of both facilities, upsubject to ancustomary lender commitment approvals. The aggregate additional amountlimit of $75incremental increases is $100 million.
