Consolidated Results

Eric A. Mendelson and Victor H. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers, commented on the Company's fourth quarter results stating, "HEICO did it again and we are extremely pleased to report record quarterly net income, operating income and net sales, reflecting robust double-digit organic net sales growth and contributions by our profitable fiscal 2025 acquisitions. These results reflect continuing very strong organic net sales growth in both of our reporting segments. We are beyond proud of HEICO's team, who generated our organic and acquired growth, by continuing our 35-year track record of exceptional performance. These results stem from hard work and actions taken over decades, not just the past year, and demonstrates the value creation of HEICO's long-term focus in everything we do.

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 44% to $295.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $205.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 39% to $934.3 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from $672.4 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

As a result of these strong cash flows, our total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio improved to 3.14x as of October 31, 2025, down from 4.34x as of October 31, 2024. And, our net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.60x as of October 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.

Today, HEICO's Board of Directors declared a semiannual cash dividend of $.12 per share payable in January 2026. This cash dividend will be HEICO's 95 th consecutive semiannual cash dividend since 1979. The 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.

We continued to supplement our net sales and earnings growth in fiscal 2025 through the completion of five acquisitions, three by the Electronic Technologies Group and two by the Flight Support Group.

Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we anticipate net sales growth across both the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group, driven by organic growth from increased demand for the majority of our products as well as growth through our recent acquisitions. We will continue to pursue selective acquisition opportunities to complement this growth. Our disciplined financial management remains dedicated to creating long-term shareholder value through a balanced combination of making strategic acquisitions and organic expansion, while maintaining financial resilience and flexibility."

Flight Support Group

The Flight Support Group's record setting fourth quarter results were due to continued growth and momentum in our aerospace aftermarket business. Quarterly increases of 30% and 21% in operating income and net sales were achieved, respectively, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, highlighting the ongoing strength in our end markets. These remarkable results are mainly driven by strong 16% quarterly organic net sales growth stemming from increased demand across all of the 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-one consecutive quarters of growth in net sales.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 21% to a record $834.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $691.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 18% to a record $3,117.3 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from $2,639.4 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The net sales increase in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 reflects strong organic growth of 16% and 14%, respectively, and the impact from fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth reflects increased demand across all of the Flight Support Group's product lines.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 30% to a record $201.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $154.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 27% to a record $750.4 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from $593.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The operating income increase in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 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 net sales growth within the Flight Support Group's repair and overhaul parts and services product line and a more favorable product mix within its specialty products product line.

The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 24.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 22.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 24.1% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from 22.5% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The operating margin increase in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.

Electronic Technologies Group

The Electronic Technologies Group's record-setting quarterly results reflect a 14% increase in net sales and a 10% increase in operating income compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by particularly strong organic net sales growth for most of the Electronic Technologies Group's products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 14% to a record $384.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $336.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The net sales increase reflects strong organic growth of 7% and the impact from our fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The Electronic Technologies Group's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its other electronics, defense, aerospace, and space products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 12% to a record $1,413.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from $1,263.6 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The net sales increase reflects strong organic growth of 7% and the impact from our fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The Electronic Technologies Group's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its defense, space, other electronics, and aerospace products, partially offset by decreased demand for its medical products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 10% to a record $89.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $81.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, mainly from increased share-based compensation expense. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects a more favorable mix of the Electronic Technologies Group's medical and other electronics products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 13% to a record $325.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from $288.2 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 23.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to 24.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 23.0% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, up from 22.8% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The lower operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 principally reflects an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily from the previously mentioned higher share-based compensation expense, partially offset by the previously mentioned 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 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. 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) carries 1/10 vote per share and the Common Stock (HEI) carries one vote per share.)

There are currently approximately 84.2 million shares of HEICO's Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) outstanding and 55.1 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.
