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, 2025. The October 31, 2025 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 three months ended January 31, 2026 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of specific categories in the annual effective tax rate reconciliation table and further disaggregation for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or in fiscal 2026 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation,

Index

intangible asset amortization, and depreciation) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement (such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative "SG&A" expenses). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, or in fiscal 2028 for HEICO, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

2. ACQUISITION

In January 2026, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 100% of the equity of Axillon Aerospace’s Fuel Containment Business, which following the acquisition, was renamed Rockmart Fuel Containment, LLC (“Rockmart”). Rockmart designs and manufactures advanced fuel containment solutions, primarily for military fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The allocation of the total consideration for Rockmart to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. However, the Company does not expect any adjustment to such allocation to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The operating results of Rockmart were included in the Company’s results of operations as of its effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of Rockmart included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2026 is not material. Had the Rockmart acquisition occurred as of November 1, 2024, net sales, net income from consolidated operations, net income attributable to HEICO, and basic and diluted net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders on a pro forma basis for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

Index

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The holders of equity interests in certain of the Company's subsidiaries have rights ("Put Rights") that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests through fiscal 2034. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the "Redemption Amount") be at fair value or a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. Management's estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company could be required to pay is as follows (in thousands):


	As of	As of
	January 31, 2026	October 31, 2025
Redeemable at fair value	$354,047	$356,850
Redeemable based on a multiple of future earnings	110,534	110,508
Redeemable noncontrolling interests	$464,581	$467,358

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 the remaining equity interest in December 2025.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended January 31, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):


	Foreign Currency Translation	Defined Benefit Pension Plan	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the three months ended January 31, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):


	Segment		Consolidated Totals
	FSG	ETG
Balances as of October 31, 2025	$1,997,178	$1,664,446	$3,661,624

Balances as of January 31, 2026	$1,998,560	$1,907,109	$3,905,669

The goodwill acquired pertains to the fiscal 2026 acquisition described in Note 2, Acquisition, and represents the residual value after the allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company estimates that $56 million of the goodwill acquired in fiscal 2026 will be deductible for income tax purposes. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The adjustments to goodwill represent immaterial measurement period adjustments to the allocation of the purchase consideration of certain fiscal 2025 acquisitions.

Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

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 and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the Company's contract assets and liabilities (in thousands):


	As of	As of
	January 31, 2026	October 31, 2025

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$—	$—	$46,198	$46,198

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 an investment in a money market fund that is 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 $380.0 million as of January 31, 2026 and $385.7 million as of October 31, 2025.

Index

As part of the agreement to acquire 90% of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2025, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $21.1 million in fiscal 2028 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during the three-year period following the acquisition provided the entity meets a certain earnings objective over the same three-year period. As of January 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $13.6 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. As of January 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $22.5 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 January 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $12.3 million.

The estimated fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements described above are classified within Level 3 and were determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. Under this method, a set of discrete potential future subsidiary earnings was determined using internal estimates based on various revenue growth rate assumptions for each scenario. A probability of likelihood was assigned to each discrete potential future earnings estimate and the resultant contingent consideration was calculated. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a weighted average discount rate reflecting the credit risk of a market participant.

Index

The following unobservable inputs were used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities as of January 31, 2026:


Acquisition	Fair Value	Unobservable		Weighted
Date	(in thousands)	Input	Range	Average (1)
1-31-2025	$13,572	Compound annual revenue growth rate	1% - 18%	10%
		Discount rate	6.2% - 6.2%	6.2%

7-18-2022	22,508	Compound annual revenue growth rate	5% - 9%	7%
		Discount rate	6.8% - 6.8%	6.8%

3-17-2022	12,343	Compound annual revenue growth rate	(4%) - 10%	7%
		Discount rate	6.8% - 6.8%	6.8%

(1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):


						Liabilities
Balance as of October 31, 2025						$46,198

Increase in accrued contingent consideration						2,225

Balance as of January 31, 2026						$48,423

Included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the following captions:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities						$22,508
Other long-term liabilities						25,915
						$48,423

The Company records changes in accrued contingent consideration within SG&A expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of January 31, 2026 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of borrowings under the Company's credit facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. See Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for the estimated fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes.

10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The financial results of the Company’s operating segments are reported on the same basis used internally by its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers serve together as the CODM. The primary measure used by the CODM and management to evaluate segment performance and to make decisions regarding resource allocation and business direction is segment operating income. The CODM uses segment operating income to allocate resources, including personnel and financial resources, among the Company’s operating segments, primarily in connection with the annual planning process, and to monitor segment performance relative to prior periods, budgeted expectations, and anticipated future results. The Company generally accounts for intersegment net sales as if the sales were to third parties at current market prices, and any such net sales and associated profit are eliminated in consolidation.

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 Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2026.

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.

Our results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2026 have been affected by the fiscal 2025 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, 2025 and the fiscal 2026 acquisition as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisition, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report.

Comparison of First Quarter of Fiscal 2026 to First Quarter of Fiscal 2025

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased by 14% to $1,178.6 million, up from net sales of $1,030.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $106.8 million (a 15% increase) to $820.0 million in net sales of the FSG and an increase of $40.4 million (a 12% increase) to $370.7 million in net sales of the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 12% and net sales of $18.7 million contributed by fiscal 2025 acquisitions. The FSG's organic net sales growth reflects increased demand within its aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of $59.5 million, $20.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects strong organic growth of 6% and net sales of $21.5 million contributed by fiscal 2025 and 2026 acquisitions. The ETG's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its other electronics, aerospace and defense products resulting in net sales increases of $8.1 million, $8.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in demand for its space products resulting in a net sales decrease of $3.4 million. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Our consolidated gross profit margin was 38.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to 39.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, principally reflecting a decrease of 3.2% in the ETG's gross profit margin, partially offset by a .4% increase in the FSG's gross profit margin. The decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects a less favorable product mix of defense products and the previously mentioned decrease in net sales of space products, partially offset by the previously mentioned increase in net sales of aerospace products. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales and a more favorable product mix within our repair and overhaul parts and services product line. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $31.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $27.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $195.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $178.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $7.5 million attributable to our fiscal 2025 and 2026 acquisitions and costs incurred to support the previously mentioned net sales growth resulting in increases of $5.3 million and $3.4 million in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales improved to 16.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down from 17.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in

Index

consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects efficiencies realized from the previously mentioned net sales growth.

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 15% to $259.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $226.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects a $34.6 million increase (a 21% increase) to $200.7 million in operating income of the FSG, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease (a 4% decrease) to $73.2 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, and the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin. The decrease in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned decreased gross profit margin, partially offset by the previously mentioned net sales growth.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 22.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up from 22.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 24.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up from 23.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 19.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down from 23.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a .8% impact from a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly reflecting the previously mentioned SG&A expense efficiencies and the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin. The decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $29.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down from $32.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a lower weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and a decrease in the amount of outstanding debt.

Other Income

Other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 11.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to 7.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in our effective tax rate principally reflects a smaller tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. We

Index

recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 of $22.3 million and $27.2 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 $14.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects higher allocations of net income to noncontrolling interests as a result of certain fiscal 2025 acquisitions in which noncontrolling interests are held.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased by 13% to a record $190.2 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $168.0 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2026, we expect continued sales momentum across both the FSG and ETG, supported by organic demand for our products, together with the impact of recent acquisitions. We remain focused on pursuing selective acquisition opportunities that align with our growth strategy. Our disciplined approach to financial management continues to emphasize long-term shareholder value through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth, while preserving financial strength and flexibility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, interest payments, capital expenditures, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. We continue to anticipate fiscal 2026 capital expenditures to be approximately $80 to $90 million. We finance our activities primarily from our operating and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes contain both financial and non-financial covenants. As of January 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 54.7%.

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.

Index

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $204.8 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $51.0 million (a non-cash item), $11.3 million in share-based compensation expense (a non-cash item), and net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP") of $10.1 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), partially offset by a $120.3 million increase in net working capital. The increase in net working capital primarily reflects a $107.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2025 accrued performance-based compensation, distributions to participants of the LCP and the payment of payroll taxes arising from withholding requirements on stock option exercises, as well as a $17.1 million increase in inventories to support an increase in consolidated backlog.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $24.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $203.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease is principally attributable to a $60.6 million increase in net working capital partially offset by a $23.2 million increase in net income from consolidated operations and a $14.5 million increase in the deferred income tax provision.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $447.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and related primarily to an acquisition of $441.4 million, LCP funding of $14.0 million and capital expenditures of $13.5 million, partially offset by $22.7 million in proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policy withdrawals within the LCP. Further details regarding our fiscal 2026 acquisition may be found in Note 2, Acquisition, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $309.6 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we borrowed $443.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which was partially offset by $103.0 million in payments made on our revolving credit facility, $16.7 million of cash dividends paid on our common stock, $7.2 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, $4.5 million of redemptions of common stock related to stock option exercises and $4.1 million of payments to acquire certain noncontrolling interests.

Other Obligations and Commitments

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, 2025.

Guarantor Group Summarized Financial Information

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"). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under our revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") (the “Guarantor Group”). We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Notes as of January 31, 2026.

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, the 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. A list of Subsidiary Guarantors is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 22 to the Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.

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:

Index

•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.

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 Group 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.

•The severity, magnitude and duration of public health threats;

•Our liquidity and the amount and timing of cash generation;

•Lower commercial air travel, 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;

Index

•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;

•Cybersecurity events or other disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business; and

•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; and 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.

For further information on these and other factors that potentially could materially affect our financial results, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025. 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.
