2. Financial Highlights
In 2024, V2X reported total revenue of $4.3 billion, marking a 9.1% increase from the previous year. This growth is attributed to organic developments in legacy programs and strong performance in newly initiated contracts.

- Cost of Revenue: $3.97 billion (2024) vs. $3.62 billion (2023)

3. Strategic Developments
In 2024, V2X completed a merger with Vertex Aerospace Holdco LLC, enhancing its capabilities and market reach. The merger incurred costs of $0.7 million, but is anticipated to foster long-term growth through expanded service offerings.
Additionally, V2X successfully executed a secondary public offering of 4.5 million shares, raising capital to support ongoing operational needs and strategic initiatives.
4. Backlog and Future Outlook
While total backlog decreased by $0.3 billion in 2024, driven by timing in new awards, V2X remains optimistic about future growth. The company's backlog reflects the timing of contract awards and project completions, rather than a decline in demand for its services.
Economic Landscape and Risks
The changing landscape of U.S. government spending on defense presents both opportunities and challenges for V2X. The company is committed to navigating this dynamic environment by maintaining its focus on enhancing mission effectiveness and operational readiness.
