Net income increased 34% to a record $502.1 million, or $3.57 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $374.4 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Net sales increased 16% to a record $1,147.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $992.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Operating income increased 22% to a record $265.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $216.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company's consolidated operating margin improved to 23.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 21.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Net sales increased 15% to a record $3,275.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $2,844.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Operating income increased 22% to a record $740.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $605.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The Company's consolidated operating margin improved to 22.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from 21.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Continued commercial aerospace product sales increases have resulted in twenty consecutive quarters of sequential growth in Flight Support Group net sales. EBITDA increased 21% to $316.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $261.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. EBITDA increased 20% to $888.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $738.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. See our reconciliation of net income attributable to HEICO to EBITDA at the end of this press release. -more- 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 net sales increased 17% to a record $2,282.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $1,947.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal -more- 2024. The net sales increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025 reflects strong organic growth of 13% and the impact from our fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025 reflects increased demand across all of the Flight Support Group's product lines. 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. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, an improved gross profit margin, and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, partially offset by the impact from changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth within our repair and overhaul parts and services and specialty products product lines. The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 24.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 22.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating margin increase principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin and an impact from a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly reflecting the previously mentioned SG&A efficiencies. The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 24.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from 22.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The operating margin increase principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin. Electronic Technologies Group The Company announced quarterly record-setting net sales for the Electronic Technologies Group, citing continued growth, with net sales and operating income up 10% and 7%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. These results reflect sustained demand for most products, highlighted by strong organic net sales growth for its other electronics, defense, and space products. The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 10% to a record $355.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $322.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The net sales increase reflects strong organic growth of 7% and the impact from -more- our fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our other electronics, defense, and space products. The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 11% to a record $1,028.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $927.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The net sales increase reflects strong organic growth of 7% and the impact from our fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth mainly reflects increased demand for our space, defense, other electronics, and aerospace products, partially offset by decreased demand for our medical products. The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 7% to $81.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $75.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially offset by an increase in performance-based compensation expense. The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 14% to a record $235.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from $206.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the increased net sales. The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 22.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to 23.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The lower operating margin principally reflects an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly from the previously mentioned higher performance-based compensation expense. The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 22.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, up from 22.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increased operating margin principally reflects lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to the previously mentioned efficiencies realized from the net sales growth. 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 -more- 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.

HEICO's actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, among others: the severity, magnitude and duration of public health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; 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 in 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 and manufacturing costs and delay sales; cyber security 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.
