HEICO CORPORATION REPORTS STRONG NET INCOME AND CASH FLOWS FOR THE FULL YEAR OF FISCAL 2020
FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020 OPERATING INCOME, NET INCOME AND NET
SALES IMPROVED 30%, 15% AND 10%, RESPECTIVELY, AS COMPARED
TO THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020
HOLLYWOOD, FL and MIAMI, FL -- HEICO CORPORATION (NYSE: HEI.A) (NYSE: HEI) today reported net income of $314.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to $327.9 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, net income was $62.3 million, or 45 cents per diluted share, as compared to $85.7 million, or 62 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
Net income, operating income and net sales in the full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were adversely affected by the COVID-19 global pandemic as discussed below.
Operating income was $376.6 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to $457.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, operating income was $89.1 million, as compared to $120.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
The Company's consolidated operating margin was 21.1% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to 22.2% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The Company's consolidated operating margin was 20.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to 22.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
Net sales were $1,787.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to $2,055.6 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, net sales were $426.2 million, as compared to $541.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

fiscal 2019. See our reconciliation of net income attributable to HEICO to EBITDA at the end of this press release.
Consolidated Results
Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the Company's fiscal year and fourth quarter results stating, "Our consolidated fiscal 2020 operating results were significantly affected by the COVID-19 global pandemic (the “Pandemic”). Most notably, the commercial aerospace industry experienced an ongoing substantial decline in demand resulting from a significant number of aircraft in the global fleet being grounded during fiscal 2020. Consolidated net sales for our businesses that operate within the commercial aerospace industry decreased by approximately 32% during fiscal 2020.
We are pleased to report record annual and quarterly net sales and operating income within our Electronic Technologies Group. These results principally reflect the excellent operating performance of our fiscal 2020 and 2019 acquisitions as well as increased profitability from disciplined cost management by our subsidiaries. We are also encouraged by the sequential improvement in our fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating results over the third quarter of fiscal 2020 operating results where we experienced increases in consolidated operating income, net income and net sales of 30%, 15%, and 10%, respectively.
We recently entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit agreement by one year to November 2023 and to increase the aggregate committed capital to $1.5 billion. Additionally, our credit facility continues to include a feature that will allow the Company to increase the capacity by $350 million to become a $1.85 billion facility through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders and can be extended for an additional one-year period. This amendment further offers us the financial flexibility to pursue our disciplined strategy of acquiring high quality businesses at fair prices.
Our total debt to shareholders' equity ratio was 36.8% and 33.2% as of October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Our net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $333.0 million as of October 31, 2020 to shareholders’ equity ratio improved to 16.6% as of October 31, 2020, down from 29.8% as of October 31, 2019. Our net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to .71x as of October 31, 2020, down from .93x as of October 31, 2019. During fiscal 2020, we successfully completed six acquisitions, four of which were completed since the Pandemic's start. We have no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2024 and plan to utilize our financial strength and flexibility to aggressively pursue high quality acquisitions of various sizes to accelerate growth and maximize shareholder returns.
Despite the many challenges faced in fiscal 2020, HEICO continues to generate excellent cash flow. Cash flow provided by operating activities was consistently strong at $409.1
-more-
million and $437.4 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $110.2 million, or 177% of net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to $124.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
Based on our continued strong cash flows from operations, HEICO's Board of Directors declared an $.08 per share regular semi-annual cash dividend on both classes of common stock, payable on January 21, 2021 to shareholders of record as of January 7, 2021. This cash dividend will be HEICO’s 85th consecutive semi-annual cash dividend since 1979. The semi-annual cash dividend confirms our Board of Director’s confidence in HEICO's future while continuing to reward our shareholders and retaining sufficient capital to fund our internal growth and acquisitions.
Considering the impact of cash dividends, prior stock splits and stock dividends, one share of HEI worth $8.38 in 1990 has become worth on a combined basis approximately $4,794, representing an increase of approximately 572 times the 1990 value and a compound annual growth rate of approximately 23% as of December 18, 2020.
As we look ahead to fiscal 2021, the Pandemic will likely continue to negatively impact the commercial aerospace industry and HEICO. Given this uncertainty, HEICO will not provide fiscal 2021 guidance at this time. However, we believe our ongoing fiscal conservative policies, healthy balance sheet and increased liquidity will permit us to invest in new research and development and gain market share as the industry recovers. In addition, our time-tested strategy of maintaining low debt and acquiring and operating high cash generating businesses across a diverse base of industries beyond commercial aerospace, such as defense, space and other high-end markets including electronics and medical, puts us in a good financial position to weather this uncertain economic period. Further, we are cautiously optimistic that the recent vaccine progress may generate increased commercial air travel and result in a gradual recovery in demand for our commercial aerospace parts and services commencing in fiscal 2021."
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 fourth quarter results stating, "The Pandemic had an adverse effect on the Flight Support Group’s operating results in the fiscal year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. As previously mentioned, once demand for air travel slowly recovers, we remain confident that our ability to offer cost savings solutions and robust product development programs will lead to market share gains within the commercial aviation market. Despite the continued impact from the Pandemic across all of our product lines, we are encouraged by sequential growth in operating income and net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 which improved 78% and 9%, respectively, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
-more-
The Flight Support Group's net sales were $924.8 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to $1,240.2 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The Flight Support Group's net sales were $193.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to $324.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The net sales decreases are principally organic and reflect lower demand across all of our product lines resulting from the significant decline in global commercial air travel beginning in March 2020 due to the Pandemic. Net sales in fiscal 2020 follows the 13% and 12% organic growth reported in the year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, respectively.
The Flight Support Group's operating income was $143.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to $242.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The Flight Support Group's operating income was $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to $62.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The operating income decreases principally reflect the previously mentioned decrease in net sales, a lower gross profit margin and an increase in bad debt expense due to potential collection difficulties from certain commercial aviation customers that filed for bankruptcy protection during fiscal 2020 as a result of the Pandemic's financial impact, partially offset by a decrease in performance-based compensation expense. The lower gross profit margin principally reflects an increase in inventory obsolescence expense mainly resulting from the announced retirement of certain aircraft types and engine platforms by our commercial aerospace customers due to the Pandemic's financial impact. Additionally, the lower gross profit margin reflects the impact from lower net sales within our repair and overhaul parts and services and aftermarket replacement parts product lines.
The Flight Support Group's operating margin was 15.5% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, as compared to 19.5% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The Flight Support Group's operating margin was 11.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to 19.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The operating margin decreases principally reflect the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned higher bad debt expense and fixed cost efficiencies lost resulting from the Pandemic's impact, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation expense."
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 fourth quarter results stating, "In fiscal 2020, the pervasive economic impact from the Pandemic led to slightly moderated demand for some of the Electronic Technologies Group's products as well as periodic operational disruptions resulting from supply chain disturbances, staffing challenges - including at some of our customers, temporary facility closures, transportation interruptions and other conditions which slow production and orders, or increase costs. Despite the aforementioned, our 2020 and 2019 acquisitions' excellent operating performance and continued disciplined cost management by our subsidiaries
-more-
resulted in record net sales and operating income within the Electronic Technologies Group in the full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 5% to a record $875.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, up from $834.5 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to the favorable impact from our fiscal 2020 and 2019 acquisitions partially offset by an organic net sales decrease of 1%. The organic net sales decrease is principally due to lower sales of our commercial aerospace and medical products, largely attributable to the Pandemic, partially offset by increased sales of our defense and space products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 8% to a record $236.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, up from $219.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase is attributable to the favorable impact from our fiscal 2020 acquisitions.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 5% to a record $258.8 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, up from $245.7 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The increase in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, lower performance-based compensation expense and a decrease in acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by a lower gross profit margin. The lower gross profit margin is mainly due to a decrease in net sales and less favorable product mix of certain commercial aerospace and medical products, partially offset by increased net sales of certain defense products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 14% to a record $73.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, up from $64.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects a more favorable product mix and increased net sales of certain space and defense products partially offset by a decrease in net sales of certain commercial aerospace products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 29.6% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, up from 29.4% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 31.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, up from 29.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 mainly reflects efficiencies gained from the previously mentioned net sales growth and the improved gross profit margin."
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 depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense and income tax expense), its net debt (calculated as total debt
-more-
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.
