Consolidated Results

Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the Company's third quarter results stating, "We are very pleased to report record quarterly results in consolidated net sales and operating income driven by record net sales at both of our operating segments. These record results principally reflect double-digit organic net sales growth within our Flight Support Group as well as high-single digit organic net sales growth and the excellent operating performance of our fiscal 2019 acquisitions in the Electronic Technologies Group.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was very strong, increasing 46% to $313.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from $214.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. We continue to forecast strong cash flow from operations for fiscal 2019.

During fiscal 2019, we successfully completed six acquisitions and completed seven acquisitions over the past year. As a result of these acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of our strong cash flows, our total debt to shareholders' equity ratio increased to 39.0% as of July 31, 2019, up from 35.4% as of October 31, 2018.  Our net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $581.1 million to shareholders’ equity ratio increased to 35.4% as of July 31, 2019, up from 31.5% as of October 31, 2018. Our net debt to EBITDA ratio increased to 1.11x as of July 31, 2019, up from 1.04x as of October 31, 2018. We have no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2023 and plan to utilize our financial flexibility to aggressively pursue high quality acquisitions to accelerate growth and maximize shareholder returns.

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2019, we anticipate net sales growth within the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group resulting from increased demand across the majority of our product lines.  Also, we plan to continue our commitments to developing new products and services, further market penetration, and pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility.

Based on our current economic visibility, we now estimate our consolidated fiscal 2019 year-over-year net sales growth to be 14% - 15% and net income growth to be 23% - 24%, up from our prior growth estimates in net sales of 12% - 13% and in net income of 17% - 18%. Additionally, we now anticipate our consolidated operating margin to approximate 22.0%, up from our prior estimate of 21.5% - 22.0% and continue to anticipate depreciation and amortization expense to approximate $84 million.  Further, we now anticipate cash flow from operations to approximate $405 million, up from the prior estimate of $380 million, and capital expenditures to approximate $31 million,

down from the prior estimate of $38 million. These estimates exclude additional acquired businesses, if any."

Flight Support Group

Eric A. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-President and President of HEICO's Flight Support Group, commented on the Flight Support Group's third quarter results stating, "Our record quarterly results in net sales and operating income principally reflects strong double-digit organic growth within the majority of our product lines.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 12% to a record $320.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $285.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 13% to a record $915.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from $807.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 is attributable to continued strong organic growth of 12% and 13%, respectively, mainly due to increased demand and new product offerings within our aftermarket replacement parts and specialty products product lines.
 
The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 18% to a record $64.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $54.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and the impact from an improved gross profit margin mainly driven by increased net sales and a more favorable product mix within our aftermarket replacement parts product line.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 18% to a record $179.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from $152.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and the impact from an improved gross profit margin mainly driven by a more favorable product mix within our specialty products product line.

The Flight Support Group's operating margin increased to 20.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up from 19.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The Flight Support Group's operating margin increased to 19.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from 18.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.

With respect to the remainder of fiscal 2019, we now estimate full year net sales growth of approximately 11% - 12% over the prior year, up from the previous estimate of 10% and we now estimate the full year Flight Support Group operating margin to approximate 19.5% - 20.0%, up from the prior estimate of approximately 19.0% - 19.5%. Further, we now estimate the Flight Support Group's full year organic net sales growth rate to be in the low-double digits, up from the prior estimate of high-single digits. These estimates exclude additional acquired businesses, if any.”

Electronic Technologies Group

Victor H. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-President and President of HEICO’s Electronic Technologies Group, commented on the Electronic Technologies Group's third quarter results stating, "Our record quarterly results in net sales reflects high-single digit organic growth and the impact of our well-managed and profitable fiscal 2019 acquisitions.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 16% to a record $216.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $186.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 20% to a record $615.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from $510.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. These increases resulted from organic growth of 7% and 13% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, and the favorable impact from our fiscal 2019 acquisitions. The organic growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 is mainly attributable to increased demand for certain defense and aerospace products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 11% to $62.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $56.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin mainly driven by higher net sales and a more favorable product mix for certain aerospace products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 23% to a record $181.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from $147.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin mainly driven by increased net sales and a more favorable product mix for certain aerospace and defense products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin remained strong at 28.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 30.1% reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 is inclusive of higher acquisition-related costs associated with a recent acquisition.
 
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 29.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, up from 28.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 principally reflects an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by higher performance-based compensation expenses, the impact of changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration and the aforementioned higher acquisition-related costs as a percentage of net sales.

With respect to the remainder of fiscal 2019, we now estimate full year net sales growth of approximately 18% - 19% over the prior year, up from the previous estimate of 15% - 17%, and anticipate the full year Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin to



- more -



approximate 29.0%, as compared to our prior estimate of 29.0% - 29.5%.  Further, we now estimate the Electronic Technologies Group’s organic net sales growth rate to be in the low-double digits up from the prior estimate of high-single digits. These estimates exclude additional acquired businesses, if any.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide additional information about the Company's results, HEICO has discussed in this press release its EBITDA (calculated as net income attributable to HEICO adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense), its net debt (calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents), its net debt to shareholders' equity ratio (calculated as net debt divided by shareholders' equity) and its net debt to EBITDA ratio (calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA) which are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are included to supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of its business and believes the presentation of these measures enhance an investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other companies in its industry. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.

(NOTE: HEICO has two classes of common stock traded on the NYSE. Both classes, the Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) and the Common Stock (HEI), are virtually identical in all economic respects. The only difference between the share classes is the voting rights. The Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) has 1/10 vote per share and the Common Stock (HEI) has one vote per share.)

There are currently approximately 80.3 million shares of HEICO's Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) outstanding and 53.8 million shares of HEICO's Common Stock (HEI) outstanding. The stock symbols for HEICO’s two classes of common stock on most websites are HEI.A and HEI. However, some websites change HEICO's Class A Common Stock trading symbol (HEI.A) to HEI/A or HEIa.

Certain statements in this press release constitute forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies. HEICO's actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements as a result of factors including: lower demand for commercial air travel or 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 costs and delay sales; our ability to make acquisitions and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses; customer credit risk; interest, foreign currency exchange and income tax rates; economic conditions 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. Parties receiving this material are encouraged to review all of HEICO's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to filings on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

HEICO CORPORATION
Footnotes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited)
            


(a)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recognized a $16.6 million discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises, which, net of noncontrolling interests, increased net income attributable to HEICO by $15.1 million, or $.11 per basic and diluted share. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recognized a net benefit from stock option exercises that increased net income attributable to HEICO by $2.1 million, or $.02 per basic and diluted share.

(b)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the United States (U.S.) government enacted significant changes to existing tax law resulting in the Company recording a provisional discrete tax benefit from remeasuring its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities that was partially offset by a provisional discrete tax expense related to a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The net impact of these amounts increased net income attributable to HEICO by $11.9 million, or $.09 per basic and diluted share.
