Event: Quartr Q2 2026 event Retrieved: 2026-08-03T21:55:50Z
Management emphasis
- Management highlighted mission-critical demand, differentiated bid quality, and AI-enabled readiness and operational effectiveness as the strategic reasons behind its stronger growth and award pipeline.
- In Q&A, management said the national-security customer’s operating tempo has continued and delivery needs currently extend into early 2027, while stressing that the situation remains dynamic.
Guidance and catalysts
- V2X raised 2026 revenue to $4.875-$5.025 billion, adjusted EBITDA to $347.5-$362.5 million, adjusted diluted EPS to $5.90-$6.30, and adjusted operating cash flow to $160-$180 million.
- Management described a full-year trailing-twelve-month book-to-bill target of 1.3x-1.5x, with 98% of midpoint revenue and backlog covered at midyear.
Risks and investor-relevant uncertainty
- Management acknowledged timing lumpiness in bookings; the high end of guidance depends partly on changes in Middle East operating tempo and on the T-6 and WTRS programs.
- The case for sustained growth depends on execution against a large submitted-bid pipeline, conversion of awards, and cash generation sufficient to reach the lower year-end leverage target.
