Consolidated Results

Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO's Executive Chairman, along with Co-Chief Executive Officers Eric A. Mendelson and Victor H. Mendelson, commented on the Company's third quarter results stating, "We are proud to report record quarterly net income, operating income and net sales, mainly reflecting robust double-digit consolidated organic net sales growth. These results are highlighted by consistently strong organic net sales growth across the Flight Support Group's product lines and impressive double-digit organic net sales growth for the Electronic Technologies Group's other electronics and space products.

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 8% to $231.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $214.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We continue to forecast strong cash flow from operations for fiscal 2025.

Our total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio was 3.81x as of July 31, 2025, down from 4.34x as of October 31, 2024. Our net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.90x as of July 31, 2025, down from 2.06x as of October 31, 2024. See our reconciliation of total debt to net debt at the end of this press release.

As we look ahead, we remain confident in achieving net sales growth across both the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group segments, driven by continued organic demand for most of our products. Additionally, we aim to accelerate growth through our recently completed acquisitions, while capitalizing on acquisition opportunities. Our disciplined financial strategy continues to focus on maximizing long-term shareholder value through a balanced approach of strategic acquisitions and organic growth initiatives aimed at gaining market share, while maintaining a strong financial position and preserving flexibility."

Flight Support Group

The Flight Support Group's record setting third quarter results were due to continued growth and momentum in our aerospace aftermarket business. Quarterly increases of 29% and 18% in operating income and net sales were achieved, respectively, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, highlighting the ongoing strength in our end markets. These remarkable results are mainly driven by strong 13% quarterly organic net sales growth stemming from increased demand across all of Flight Support Group's product lines, as well as the contributions from the fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The Flight Support Group has now achieved twenty consecutive quarters of growth in net sales.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 18% to a record $802.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $681.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 29% to a record $198.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $153.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, an improved gross profit margin, and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects higher net sales within our repair and overhaul parts and services and specialty products product lines.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 25% to a record $549.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $438.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

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 less cash and cash equivalents), 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 investor's 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.
