| Our Business and Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Our quarterly financial periods end on the Friday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter (June 28, 2019 for the second quarter of 2019 and June 29, 2018 for the second quarter of 2018), 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 Vectrus have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) have been omitted. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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, 2018. 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. Net sales and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Our Business Vectrus, Inc. is a leading provider of services to the United States (U.S.) government worldwide. We operate as one segment and offer facility and logistics services and information technology and network communications services. Vectrus was incorporated in the State of Indiana on February 4, 2014. On September 27, 2014, Exelis Inc. (Exelis) completed a spin-off (the Spin-off) of Vectrus, and Vectrus became an independent, publicly traded company. |
| Leases | Leases Beginning with our January 1, 2019 adoption of the new lease accounting standard, operating leases are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 was applied to operating leases in effect as of that date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments and excludes lease incentives. Many of our leases include one or more options to renew or terminate the lease, solely at our discretion. Such options are factored into the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As allowed under ASC Topic 842, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract was or contained a lease and assessment of initial direct costs. In addition, we have made policy elections to apply the short-term leases practical expedient, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not capitalized and recorded on our balance sheet, and the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components. The latter expedient is applied to all of our leases. We did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient in determining lease terms and assessing impairment of ROU assets. |
| Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation of amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 29, 2018 to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, depreciation and amortization, which were combined and disclosed as one amount are now presented separately |
| Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective and Accounting Standards That Were Adopted | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-15 to provide guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) hosted by the vendor - that is a service contract. Under the new guidance, a customer will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs of a CCA as it would for an on-premises internal-use software license. Presentation of such costs, however, will vary from those required for licensed internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective January 1, 2020 and can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 with the intent of providing financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Current treatment uses the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays the recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The accounting update adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB but are not yet effective, refer to the Accounting Standards Updates section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Accounting Standards That Were Adopted In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act). We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-02 during the first quarter of 2019 and recorded a $0.3 million decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income and a corresponding increase to beginning retained earnings to reflect the changes in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate as a result of the Tax Act. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-02, our policy to release income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income is consistent with the underlying book method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, with amendments issued in 2018. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but does not change the manner in which expenses are recorded in the income statement. We adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting comparative periods presented. See Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 10,"Leases" for further information. No other accounting standards newly issued or adopted as of January 1, 2019, had a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. |
