HEICO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022. The October 31, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. ("HEICO Electronic") and its subsidiaries.

Although the Company has largely emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, HEICO’s results of operations in fiscal 2023 continue to reflect some of the pandemic’s lingering effects, including its impact on the Company's supply chain. Despite the aforementioned, the Company experienced continued improvement in operating results in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting improved demand for its commercial aerospace products and services. The FSG has reported twelve consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales resulting from commercial air travel recovery in certain domestic travel markets, moderated by a slower recovery in international travel markets.

Index

New Accounting Pronouncement

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. ACQUISITIONS

In March 2023, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, entered into an exclusive license and acquired certain assets for the Aircraft Emergency Locator Transmitter (“ELT”) product line from Honeywell International. ELTs provide critical emergency transmission signals in the event of aircraft impact on land or water to enable first responders to locate the aircraft. The transaction provides the HEICO Electronic subsidiary with all rights to produce, sell and repair both fixed and portable Honeywell ELTs, as well as various support equipment. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 5, 2023, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 93.69% of the outstanding common stock and all of the preferred stock of Exxelia International SAS (“Exxelia”). Exxelia designs, manufactures and sells high reliability (“Hi-Rel”), complex, passive electronic components and rotary joint assemblies for mostly aerospace and defense applications, in addition to other high-end applications, such as medical and energy uses, including emerging “clean energy” and electrification applications. The Company believes that this acquisition will further HEICO's strategy of expanding its already wide range of mission-critical and Hi-Rel components for the most demanding applications, as well as provide HEICO with added broad geographic and product diversity, including in the important European market. The majority of the remaining 6.31% interest is owned by certain members of Exxelia's management team. See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information. Additionally, as a result of this acquisition, the Company also obtained a 90% ownership interest in Alcon Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (“Alcon”), which is an existing subsidiary of Exxelia. The remaining 10% interest continues to be owned by a certain member of Alcon’s management team. See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility.

As noted above, the Company acquired all of the preferred stock of Exxelia. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, Exxelia’s preferred stock accrues dividends at 5.18% per annum. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, HEICO issued Exxelia a ten-year, €150 million note, which accrues interest at 4.7% per annum on the principal outstanding. The Company records foreign currency transaction adjustments on the note receivable within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Index

The allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. The primary items that generated the goodwill recognized were the premiums paid by the Company for the future earnings potential of Exxelia and the value of its assembled workforce that do not qualify for separate recognition, however, benefit both the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders. The fair value of the noncontrolling interests were determined based on the consideration paid by the Company for its controlling ownership interest adjusted for a lack of control that a market participant would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. The weighted-average amortization periods of the customer relationships, intellectual property and trade names acquired are 15 years, 15 years and indefinite, respectively. Acquisition costs associated with the purchase of Exxelia totaled $5.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and were recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The operating results of Exxelia were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The Company's consolidated net sales for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 includes approximately $128.0 million and $58.4 million, respectively, from the acquisition of Exxelia. Net income attributable to HEICO for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 was not materially impacted by the acquisition of Exxelia.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 as if the acquisition of Exxelia had occurred as of November 1, 2021 (in thousands, except per share data):

As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through HEICO Electronic,

acquired 93.69% of the common stock of Exxelia in January 2023. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company sold an additional 2.72% of the common stock of Exxelia to its existing noncontrolling interest holders and certain members of Exxelia's management team, which decreased the Company's ownership interest in the common stock of the subsidiary to 90.97%. As part of the liquidity agreement, the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase their equity interest beginning in fiscal 2028, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same equity interest beginning in the same period.

As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, as a result of its acquisition of Exxelia, acquired 90% of the stock of Alcon in January 2023. As part of the shareholders' agreement, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase their equity interest beginning in fiscal 2025, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same equity interest beginning in the same period.

Index

During fiscal 2022, the holder of a 19.9% noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of the FSG that was acquired in fiscal 2015 exercised their option to cause the Company to purchase their noncontrolling interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2026. Accordingly, the Company acquired one-fourth of such interest in December 2022, which increased the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary to 85.1%.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of July 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). As of October 31 2022, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 4.6%. The Credit Facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. As of July 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Credit Facility, to, among other things, (i) increase the capacity by $500 million to $2.0 billion, (ii) extend the maturity date to July 14, 2028, and (iii) increase the applicable rate with respect to certain total leverage ratio tiers in the pricing grid. The Credit Facility includes a feature that will allow the Company to increase the capacity by $750 million to become a $2.75 billion facility through increased commitments from existing lenders.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the Company’s election of the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, plus in each case, the Applicable Rate (based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio) (each as defined in the Credit Facility). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Prime Rate; (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%; and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for an Interest Period of one month plus 100 basis points. Adjusted Term SOFR is the rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus a Term SOFR Adjustment of .10%; provided that Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall never be less than 0%, as such capitalized terms are defined in the Credit Facility. The Applicable Rate for SOFR Loans ranges from 1.125% to 2.00%. The Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans ranges from .125% to 1.00%. A fee is charged on the amount of the unused commitment ranging from .15% to .35% (depending on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio). The Credit Facility also includes a $100 million sublimit for borrowings made in foreign currencies, a $200 million

Index

sublimit for swingline borrowings, and a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit. Outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon an event of default, as such events are described in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of a Total Leverage Ratio and an Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Facility).

The Company incurred $6.7 million of debt issuance costs related to the third amendment of the Credit Facility, which were classified as other assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being amortized to SG&A expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On July 27, 2023, the Company completed the public offer and sale of senior unsecured notes, which consisted of $600 million principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due August 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and $600 million principal amount of 5.35% Senior Notes due August 1, 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay the outstanding borrowings under its Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Wencor Group acquisition ("Wencor Acquisition"). See Note 12, Subsequent Events, for additional information. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2024. The 2028 Notes and 2033 Notes each have an effective interest rate of 5.5%.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries (including any member of Wencor Group following consummation of the Wencor Acquisition) that guarantee the Company's obligations under the Credit Facility (the "Guarantor Group"). The Company may redeem the Notes at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, prior to the applicable par call date at the applicable redemption price described in the Indenture. On or after the applicable par call date, the Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a “change of control triggering event” as described in the Indenture.

Index

The Indenture includes certain customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to grant liens to secure indebtedness or engage in sale and leaseback transactions and the Company’s ability to merge or consolidate with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, a third party, as further described in the Indenture. Each of these limitations is subject to certain important qualifications and exceptions. The Indenture also includes certain customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default will either automatically, in certain instances, or upon declaration by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, in other instances, cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes. As of July 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company received net proceeds of $1,189.5 million from the issuance of the Notes, which was net of a debt discount and underwriting fees. The Company also incurred an additional $3.4 million of debt issuance fees related to the Notes. The aggregate debt discount and debt issuance costs of $13.9 million are classified as a contra liability within long-term debt in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being amortized to interest expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective term of each senior note using the effective interest method.

The following table sets forth the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s Notes, which are classified as Level 2 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands). The Company estimated the fair value of the Notes by taking the weighted average of market quotes for the exact security that was actively traded on July 31, 2023.


	July 31, 2023
	Carrying Value	Fair Value
2028 Notes	$593,889	$598,296
2033 Notes	592,215	597,198
Total	$1,186,104	$1,195,494

6. REVENUE

Contract Balances

Contract assets (unbilled receivables) represent revenue recognized on contracts using an over-time recognition model in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) represent customer advances and billings in excess of revenue recognized and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):


	July 31, 2023	October 31, 2022	Change
Contract assets	$102,832	$93,978	$8,854
Contract liabilities	80,295	58,757	21,538
Net contract assets	$22,537	$35,221	($12,684)

The increase in the Company's contract assets during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 mainly reflects additional unbilled receivables on certain customer contracts using an over-time recognition model in excess of billings on certain customer contracts at both the FSG and ETG. The increase in the Company's contract liabilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 principally reflects the receipt and billings of advance deposits on certain customer contracts mainly at the FSG.

The amount of revenue that the Company recognized during the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2023 was $38.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 31, 2023, the Company had $609.3 million of remaining performance obligations associated with contracts with an original duration of greater than one year pertaining to the majority of the products offered by the ETG as well as certain products of the FSG's specialty products and aftermarket replacement parts product lines. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $146.8 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2023 and $462.5 million thereafter, of which more than half is expected to occur in fiscal 2024.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 19.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, down from 19.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This was partially offset by a larger tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 of $6.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 18.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, down from 27.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash

Index

surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Company recognized a larger income tax credit for qualified research and development activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 mainly upon the filing and completion of its fiscal 2022 U.S. federal and state tax returns.

The Company maintains the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of the LCP principally represent cash surrender values of life insurance policies, which derive their fair values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company, and are classified within Level 2 and valued using a market approach. Certain other assets of the LCP represent investments in money market funds that are classified within Level 1. The assets of the LCP are

held within an irrevocable trust and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related liabilities of the LCP are included within other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $249.0 million as of July 31, 2023 and $203.0 million as of October 31, 2022.

As part of the agreement to acquire 80.36% of the stock of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $12.1 million in fiscal 2027 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during fiscal years 2025 and 2026 provided the entity meets a certain earnings objective during each of fiscal years 2024 to 2026. As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $5.1 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire 96% of the stock of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $27.4 million in fiscal 2027 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during fiscal years 2025 and 2026 provided the entity meets certain earnings objectives during each of fiscal years 2022 to 2024. As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.4 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire 74% of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $14.1 million in fiscal 2027 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the five-year period following the acquisition. As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.4 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire 89% of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2021, the Company may have been obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $26.7 million should the acquired entity have met certain earnings objectives following the acquisition. In March 2023, at the request of the noncontrolling interest holders, the agreement was amended and the Company paid $8.9 million to the noncontrolling interest holders in consideration for the termination of the contingent consideration arrangement. Accordingly, of the $18.0 million estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of October 31, 2022, the remaining $9.1 million (after the $8.9 million payment) was reversed in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

As part of the agreement to acquire 89.99% of the equity interests of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to CAD $13.5 million, or $10.2 million, in fiscal 2025 should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2023 and 2024. As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was CAD $11.5 million, or $8.7 million. Additionally, the acquired entity achieved a required earnings objective during fiscal years 2021 and 2022 that obligated the Company to pay additional contingent consideration of CAD $13.5 million, or $10.0 million, which was paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Index

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $20.0 million in fiscal 2023 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the first six years following the acquisition.

Litigation

On April 20, 2021, an indirect subsidiary of HFSC, which was acquired in June 2020, received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California requiring the production of documents for the time period December 1, 2017 through February 4, 2019 related to the subsidiary's employment of a certain individual and its performance of work on certain Navy vessels during that time period. The Company is cooperating with the investigation. The Company has completed its production of documents responsive to the subpoena, although the Company has a continuing obligation to produce such documents should any be located. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation or when the investigation will ultimately be resolved; nor can the Company reasonably estimate the possible range of loss or impact to its business, if any, that may result from this matter.

With the exception of the matter noted above, the Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Based upon the Company’s and its legal

counsel’s evaluations of any claims or assessments, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 4, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Wencor Group ("Wencor"), which it intends to integrate into the FSG. The aggregate purchase price consisted of $1.9 billion in cash, subject to certain working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, and 1,137,628 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock. The cash consideration was paid using proceeds from the sale of the Notes and from the Company's Credit Facility. See Note 5, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt, for additional information. Also, on August 8, 2023, the Company terminated the commitment letter, dated May 14, 2023, with Truist Bank and Truist Securities, Inc., as amended, relating to a bridge financing to finance a portion of the Wencor Acquisition, as such financing was no longer necessary.

In connection with the Wencor Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated August 4, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement for the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) immediately following the closing of the Wencor Acquisition and (ii) the Holders were granted certain registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the closing of the Wencor Acquisition. On August 4, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR to register the resale of 1,054,606 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Wencor Acquisition (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was effective as of August 4, 2023.

Wencor is a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved aircraft replacement parts, value-added distribution of high-use commercial & military aftermarket parts and aircraft & engine accessory component repair and overhaul services. Wencor expands the Company’s aftermarket product offerings, enabling the combined company to offer even greater savings and capabilities to its customers, while expanding its new products and services development capacity. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the Wencor Acquisition is incomplete. As such, the Company is not able to disclose certain information relating to Wencor, including the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to complete the preliminary accounting for the Wencor Acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates if different assumptions were used or different events ultimately transpire.

Our critical accounting policies, which require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, are described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

Our business is comprised of two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Although we have largely emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, our results of operations in fiscal 2023 continue to reflect the pandemic's lingering impact, including its impact on our supply chain. Despite the aforementioned, we experienced continued improvement in operating results in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting improved demand for our commercial aerospace products and services. The FSG has reported twelve consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales resulting from commercial air travel recovery in certain domestic travel markets, moderated by a slower recovery in international travel markets. Additionally, the ETG’s operating results in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 reflect consistent organic growth from increased demand for most of their other product offerings and the impact from the Company's January 2023 acquisition, offset by decreased demand for its defense products and the impact of acquisition costs related to our January 2023 acquisition. Further, the ETG’s overall backlog as of July 31, 2023, supports an expected increase in demand for its defense products at some point over the next twelve months.

Additionally, our results of operations for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 have been affected by the fiscal 2022 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022 and the fiscal 2023 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2,

Recent Development

On August 4, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Wencor Group ("Wencor"), which we intend to integrate into the FSG ("Wencor Acquisition"). The aggregate purchase price consisted of $1.9 billion in cash, subject to certain working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, and 1,137,628 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock. The cash consideration was paid using proceeds from the sale of senior notes and from the Company's revolving credit facility. See Note 5, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Wencor is a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved aircraft replacement parts, value-added distribution of high-use commercial & military aftermarket parts and aircraft & engine accessory component repair and overhaul services.

Comparison of First Nine Months of Fiscal 2023 to First Nine Months of Fiscal 2022

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased by 27% to a record $2,031.7 million, up from net sales of $1,598.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $259.3 million (a 29% increase) to a record $1,168.5 million in net sales of the FSG and an increase of $178.8 million (a 25% increase) to a record $882.7 million in net sales of the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 21% as well as net sales of $65.2 million contributed by fiscal 2022 acquisitions. The FSG's organic growth reflects increased demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from continued recovery in global commercial air travel as compared to the prior year. As such, organic net sales increased by $129.9 million, $36.0 million and $28.1 million within our aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG principally reflects $177.5 million contributed by fiscal 2023 and 2022 acquisitions, partially offset by a 1% decrease in organic net sales. The ETG's organic net sales decline is mainly attributable to decreased demand for our defense products resulting in a net sales decrease of $42.1 million, partially offset by increased demand for our other electronics and aerospace products resulting in net sales increases of $18.8 million and $18.1 million, respectively. Although we believe sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, recent cost inflation may lead to higher sales prices during the remainder of fiscal 2023.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin was 38.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to 38.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, principally reflecting a 2.7% decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin, partially offset by a 2.1% improvement in the FSG's gross profit margin. The reduction in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned decrease in net sales of our defense products, partially offset by the previously mentioned increase in net sales of our aerospace and other electronics products. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales within our aftermarket replacement parts and specialty products product lines, and lower inventory obsolescence expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 mainly due to increased demand within our aftermarket replacement parts product line. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $68.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, up from $55.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $353.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to $272.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $48.3 million attributable to our fiscal 2023 and 2022 acquisitions, costs incurred to support the previously mentioned net sales growth resulting in increases of $16.7 million and $7.4 million in

Index

other general and administrative expenses and other selling expenses, respectively, a $10.4 million increase in performance-based compensation expense and a $7.5 million increase in acquisition costs mainly related to fiscal 2023 acquisitions, including Wencor, partially offset by a $9.1 million impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement pertaining to a fiscal 2021 acquisition.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 17.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to 17.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a .4% impact from the previously mentioned increase in acquisition costs, and a .3% impact from changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, partially offset by a .4% impact from the previously mentioned amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement.

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 24% to a record $435.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, up from $350.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects an $83.4 million increase (a 44% increase) to a record $272.7 million in operating income of the FSG and a $9.1 million increase (a 5% increase) to $198.7 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, improved gross profit margin, efficiencies realized from the higher net sales volume, and the previously mentioned amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement, partially offset by a $13.2 million increase in performance-based compensation expense. The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales increase, partially offset by the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and higher costs from the impact of our January 2023 acquisition.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales was 21.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to 21.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 principally reflects a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 22.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to 26.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, partially offset by an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 23.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, up from 20.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and a 1.8% impact from an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned higher costs from the impact of our January 2023 acquisition. The increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin, efficiencies realized from the higher net sales volume, and a .8% impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement, partially offset by a .5% impact from higher performance-based compensation expense.

Index

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $29.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to $3.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates as well as an increase in the amount of outstanding debt.

Other Income

Other income in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate decreased to 19.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, down from 19.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This was partially offset by a larger tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. We recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 of $6.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to the 20% noncontrolling interest held by Lufthansa Technik AG in HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and the noncontrolling interests held by others in certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $30.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to $26.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects improved operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased by 18% to a record $300.2 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, up from $254.5 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income, partially offset by the increase in interest expense.

Index

Comparison of Third Quarter of Fiscal 2023 to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by 27% to a record $722.9 million, up from net sales of $569.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $81.7 million (a 33% increase) to a record $325.9 million in net sales of the ETG and an increase of $74.8 million (a 23% increase) to a record $405.0 million in net sales of the FSG. The net sales increase in the ETG principally reflects $74.5 million contributed by fiscal 2023 and 2022 acquisitions and organic growth of 2%. The ETG's organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our aerospace and other electronics products resulting in net sales increases of $9.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, partially offset by decreased demand for our defense products resulting in a net sales decrease of $8.9 million. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 19% as well as net sales of $10.6 million contributed by a fiscal 2022 acquisition. The FSG's organic growth reflects increased demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from continued recovery in global commercial air travel as compared to the prior year. As such, organic net sales increased by $51.5 million and $14.5 million within our aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul parts and services product lines, respectively. Although we believe sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, recent cost inflation may lead to higher sales prices during the remainder of fiscal 2023.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin was 38.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to 38.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, principally reflecting a 2.8% decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin, partially offset by a 1.5% improvement in the FSG's gross profit margin. The reduction in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned decrease in net sales of our defense products, partially offset by the previously mentioned increase in net sales of our aerospace and other electronics products. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales and a favorable product mix. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $25.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, up from $18.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses were $129.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to $92.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $20.2 million attributable to our fiscal 2023 and 2022 acquisitions, costs incurred to support the previously mentioned net sales growth resulting in increases of $11.5 million and $2.9 million in other general and administrative expenses and selling expenses, respectively, and a $2.6 million increase in acquisition costs mainly related to our acquisition of Wencor in August 2023.

Index

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 17.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to 16.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a lower level of efficiencies mainly resulting from the impact of our January 2023 acquisition, a .3% impact from the previously mentioned increase in acquisition costs and a .3% impact from changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration.

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 16% to $149.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, up from $128.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects an $18.4 million increase (a 26% increase) to $89.2 million in operating income of the FSG and a $6.1 million increase (a 9% increase) to $74.2 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and improved gross profit margin, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in acquisition costs mainly related to the previously mentioned Wencor Acquisition. The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales increase, partially offset by the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and higher costs from the impact of our January 2023 acquisition.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales was 20.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to 22.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 principally reflects a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 22.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to 27.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, partially offset by an increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 22.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, up from 21.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and a 2.3% impact from an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned higher costs from the impact of our January 2023 acquisition. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin, partially offset by an .8% impact from the previously mentioned increase in acquisition costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $12.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates as well as an increase in the amount of outstanding debt.

Other Income

Other income in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was not material.

Index

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate decreased to 18.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, down from 27.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, we recognized a larger income tax credit for qualified research and development activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 mainly upon the filing and completion of our fiscal 2022 U.S. federal and state tax returns.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to the 20% noncontrolling interest held by Lufthansa Technik AG in HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and the noncontrolling interests held by others in certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $10.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects improved operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held, inclusive of fiscal 2022 and 2023 acquisitions.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased by 24% to $102.0 million, or $.74 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, up from $82.5 million, or $.60 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income and lower effective tax rate, partially offset by the increase in interest expense.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2023, we continue to anticipate net sales growth in both the FSG and ETG, principally driven by demand for the majority of our products. Additionally, continued inflationary pressures and lingering supply chain disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher material and labor costs. Further, we plan to actively work on the integration of Wencor into our business and operations, continue our commitment to developing new products and services and further market penetration, while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility.

Index

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests, financing costs, and working capital needs. We now anticipate fiscal 2023 capital expenditures to be approximately $50 to $55 million, inclusive of the Wencor Acquisition. We finance our activities primarily from our operating and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility and senior notes contain both financial and non-financial covenants. As of July 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 41.1%.

On July 14, 2023, we entered into a third amendment to our revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"), to, among other things, (i) increase the capacity by $500 million to $2.0 billion, (ii) extend the maturity date to July 14, 2028, and (iii) increase the applicable rate with respect to certain total leverage ratio tiers in the pricing grid. The Credit Facility includes a feature that will allow us to increase the capacity by $750 million to become a $2.75 billion facility through increased commitments from existing lenders.

Based on our current outlook, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $300.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $330.8 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $86.3 million (a non-cash item), net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO LCP of $11.7 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), $10.6 million in employer contributions to the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan (a non-cash item), and $10.4 million in share-based compensation expense (a non-cash item), partially offset by a $103.3 million increase in net working capital, a $23.0 million deferred income tax benefit, a $9.1 million impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement and $6.3 million of contingent consideration payments. The increase in net working capital is inclusive of an $86.7 million increase in inventories to support an increase in consolidated backlog and a $15.6 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from the previously mentioned higher net sales and the timing of collections.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $23.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 from $323.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease is principally attributable to a $37.5 million increase in net working capital, a $30.8 million increase in deferred income tax benefits, and a $9.1 million impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement, partially offset by a $50.4 million increase in net income from consolidated operations. The increase in net working capital primarily

Index

resulted from the previously mentioned increase in inventories and a decrease in trade accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $574.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and related primarily to acquisitions of $526.7 million, capital expenditures of $34.2 million and investments related to the LCP of $14.0 million. Further details regarding our fiscal 2023 acquisitions may be found in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 totaled $824.1 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, we received $1,189.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and borrowed $564.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which were partially offset by $839.0 million in payments made on our revolving credit facility, $29.9 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, $27.4 million of cash dividends on our common stock, redemptions of common stock related to stock option exercises aggregating $14.8 million, $12.6 million of contingent consideration payments, and $9.1 million paid of debt issuance costs.

Other Obligations and Commitments

Except as noted below, there have not been any material changes to our other obligations and commitments that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022.

On July 27, 2023, we completed the public offer and sale of senior unsecured notes, which consisted of $600 million principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due August 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and $600 million principal amount of 5.35% Senior Notes due August 1, 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). We used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay the outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Wencor Acquisition. See Note 5, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt, and Note 12, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2024. The 2028 Notes and 2033 Notes each have an effective interest rate of 5.5%.

Guarantor Group Summarized Financial Information

On July 27, 2023, we completed the public offer and sale of the Notes. See Note 5, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries (including any member of Wencor Group following consummation of the Wencor Acquisition) that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Facility (the “Guarantor Group”).

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between HEICO and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between us, Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations of HEICO and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is owned either directly or indirectly by the Company and jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the Notes. None of the Subsidiary Guarantors are organized outside of the U.S.

Under the Indenture, holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to the release of a subsidiary guarantee provided by a subsidiary guarantor, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes, upon such subsidiary guarantor ceasing to guarantee or to be an obligor with respect to the Credit Facility. Accordingly, if the lenders under the Credit Facility release a subsidiary guarantor from its guarantee of, or obligations as a borrower under, the Credit Facility, the obligations of the subsidiary guarantors to guarantee the Notes will immediately terminate. If any of our future subsidiaries incur obligations under the Credit Facility while the Notes are outstanding, then such subsidiary will be required to guarantee the Notes.

In addition, a subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved from all its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee in the following circumstances, each of which is permitted by the indenture:

•upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting stock of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to us or any of our affiliates); or

•upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the property of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to any of our affiliates or another subsidiary guarantor);

provided, however, that, in each case, such transaction is permitted by the Credit Facility and after giving effect to such transaction, such subsidiary guarantor is no longer liable for any subsidiary guarantee or other obligations in respect of the Credit Facility. The subsidiary guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor also will be released if we exercise our legal defeasance, covenant defeasance option or discharge the Indenture.

Index

We conduct our operations almost entirely through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Guarantor Group’s cash flow and ability to service any guaranteed registered debt securities will depend on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to the Guarantor Group, including the earnings of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, whether by dividends, loans or otherwise. Holders of the guaranteed registered debt securities will have a direct claim only against the Guarantor Group.

The following tables include summarized financial information for the Guarantor Group (in thousands). The information for the Guarantor Group is presented on a combined basis, excluding intercompany balances and transactions between us and the Guarantor and excluding investments in and equity in the earnings of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Guarantor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-guarantor subsidiaries have been presented in separate line items. The consolidating schedules are provided in accordance with the reporting requirements of Rule 13-01 under SEC Regulation S-X for the issuer and guarantor subsidiaries.

All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature may be forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, phone calls and conference calls, concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. Also, forward-looking statements are based upon management’s estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently available information. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements as a result of factors including, but not limited to: the severity, magnitude and duration of public health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic ("Health Emergencies"); HEICO's liquidity and the amount and timing of cash generation; lower commercial air travel caused by Health Emergencies and their aftermath, airline fleet changes or airline purchasing decisions, which could cause lower demand for our goods and services; product specification costs and requirements, which could cause an increase to our costs to complete contracts; governmental and regulatory demands, export policies and restrictions, reductions in defense, space or homeland security spending by U.S. and/or foreign customers or competition from existing and new competitors, which could reduce our sales; our ability to introduce new products and services at profitable pricing levels, which could reduce our sales or sales growth; product development or manufacturing difficulties, which could increase our product development and manufacturing costs and delay sales; our ability to make acquisitions, including obtaining any applicable domestic and/or foreign governmental approvals, and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses; customer credit risk; interest, foreign currency exchange and income tax rates; economic conditions, including the effects of inflation, within and outside of the aviation, defense, space, medical, telecommunications and electronics industries, which could negatively impact our costs and revenues; and defense spending or budget cuts, which could reduce our defense-related revenue. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have not been any material changes in our assessment of HEICO’s sensitivity to market risk that was disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022, except as discussed below:

In connection with our acquisition of Exxelia, we issued Exxelia a ten-year, €150 million note, which accrues interest at 4.7% per annum on the principal outstanding. A hypothetical 10% strengthening of the United States ("U.S.") dollar in comparison to the Euro as of July 31, 2023 would decrease the U.S. dollar equivalent of our Euro note receivable by approximately $17.0 million and decrease operating income by the same amount.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that HEICO’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter ended July 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, HEICO's internal control over financial reporting.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	9 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Jul. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022. The October 31, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. ("HEICO Electronic") and its subsidiaries. Although the Company has largely emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, HEICO’s results of operations in fiscal 2023 continue to reflect some of the pandemic’s lingering effects, including its impact on the Company's supply chain. Despite the aforementioned, the Company experienced continued improvement in operating results in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting improved demand for its commercial aerospace products and services. The FSG has reported twelve consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales resulting from commercial air travel recovery in certain domestic travel markets, moderated by a slower recovery in international travel markets. New Accounting Pronouncement In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

INCOME TAXES	9 Months Ended
INCOME TAXES	Jul. 31, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 19.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, down from 19.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This was partially offset by a larger tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 of $6.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 18.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, down from 27.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate principally reflects a favorable impact from tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to tax-exempt unrealized losses recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Company recognized a larger income tax credit for qualified research and development activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 mainly upon the filing and completion of its fiscal 2022 U.S. federal and state tax returns.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	Jul. 31, 2023
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 4, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Wencor Group ("Wencor"), which it intends to integrate into the FSG. The aggregate purchase price consisted of $1.9 billion in cash, subject to certain working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, and 1,137,628 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock. The cash consideration was paid using proceeds from the sale of the Notes and from the Company's Credit Facility. See Note 5, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt, for additional information. Also, on August 8, 2023, the Company terminated the commitment letter, dated May 14, 2023, with Truist Bank and Truist Securities, Inc., as amended, relating to a bridge financing to finance a portion of the Wencor Acquisition, as such financing was no longer necessary. In connection with the Wencor Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated August 4, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement for the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) immediately following the closing of the Wencor Acquisition and (ii) the Holders were granted certain registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the closing of the Wencor Acquisition. On August 4, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR to register the resale of 1,054,606 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Wencor Acquisition (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was effective as of August 4, 2023. Wencor is a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved aircraft replacement parts, value-added distribution of high-use commercial & military aftermarket parts and aircraft & engine accessory component repair and overhaul services. Wencor expands the Company’s aftermarket product offerings, enabling the combined company to offer even greater savings and capabilities to its customers, while expanding its new products and services development capacity. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the Wencor Acquisition is incomplete. As such, the Company is not able to disclose certain information relating to Wencor, including the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to complete the preliminary accounting for the Wencor Acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	Jul. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022. The October 31, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. ("HEICO Electronic") and its subsidiaries. Although the Company has largely emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, HEICO’s results of operations in fiscal 2023 continue to reflect some of the pandemic’s lingering effects, including its impact on the Company's supply chain. Despite the aforementioned, the Company experienced continued improvement in operating results in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting improved demand for its commercial aerospace products and services. The FSG has reported twelve consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales resulting from commercial air travel recovery in certain domestic travel markets, moderated by a slower recovery in international travel markets.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncement In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
