4th Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Net Income up 38% on Operating Income Increase of 29% and Net Sales Increase of 20%

HOLLYWOOD, FL and MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2021 / HEICO CORPORATION (NYSE:HEI.A)(NYSE:HEI) today reported an increase in net income of 38% to $86.1 million, or $.62 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $62.3 million, or $.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Net income was $304.2 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, as compared to $314.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.

While net income, operating income and net sales in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 were adversely affected by the COVID-19 global pandemic (the "Pandemic") as discussed below, those impacts have been declining over time. Improvement in the commercial aerospace market has resulted in five consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales and operating income at the Flight Support Group.

Net sales increased 20% to $509.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $426.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating income increased 29% to $115.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $89.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company's consolidated operating margin increased to 22.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from 20.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Net sales increased 4% to $1,865.7 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $1,787.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. Operating income increased 4% to $392.9 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $376.6 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The Company's consolidated operating margin was 21.1% in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

EBITDA increased 24% to $139.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $112.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. EBITDA increased 4% to $487.4 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $466.6 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. 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 fourth quarter results stating, "We are very pleased to report much improved quarterly operating results within Flight Support and record quarterly and full year operating results within Electronic Technologies. Consolidated operating income and net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 improved 29% and 20%, respectively, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Our performance principally reflects quarterly consolidated organic net sales growth of 16%, and the favorable impact from our fiscal 2021 and 2020 acquisitions.

Our total debt to shareholders' equity ratio improved to 10.3% as of October 31, 2021, as compared to 36.8% as of October 31, 2020. Our net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $128.2 million as of October 31, 2021 to shareholders' equity ratio improved to a very low 5.6% as of October 31, 2021, down from 16.6% as of October 31, 2020, which provides the Company with substantial acquisition capital in the balance of our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and other available capital.

Our net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to .26x as of October 31, 2021, down from .71x as of October 31, 2020. During fiscal 2021, we successfully completed six acquisitions and have no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2024. We plan to utilize our financial strength and flexibility to aggressively pursue high quality acquisitions of various sizes to accelerate growth and maximize shareholder returns.

Cash flow provided by operating activities remained strong, totaling $110.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $110.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 9% to $444.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $409.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.

As we look ahead to fiscal 2022, we expect the commercial air travel recovery to continue, particularly in certain domestic travel markets, while less so in international markets, even though the Pandemic will likely continue to adversely impact the commercial aerospace industry and HEICO. International markets have not recovered to the extent of domestic markets, and while we are confident of their future recovery and the potential sales increase, the timing is uncertain. We remain cautiously optimistic that the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 vaccine rollouts, including boosters, will continue to positively influence commercial air travel, and benefit the markets we serve. As we've all continued to see and learn, it is very difficult to predict the Pandemic's path and effect, including factors such as new variants and vaccination rates, which can impact our key markets. Therefore, we feel it would not be responsible to provide fiscal 2022 net sales and earnings guidance at this time. But, our ongoing conservative policies, strong balance sheet, and high degree of liquidity enable us to invest in new research and development, execute on our successful acquisition program, and position HEICO for market share gains."

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, "We are very pleased to report quarterly increases of 126% and 34% in operating income and net sales, respectively, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. These substantial increases principally reflect increased demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from some recovery in global commercial air travel as compared to the prior year. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of sequential growth in net sales and operating income at the Flight Support Group.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 34% to $260.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $193.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The net sales increase is principally from organic growth of 28% as well as the impact from our profitable fiscal 2021 acquisitions. The organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our commercial aerospace products across all of our product lines.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 126% to $48.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the higher net sales, a more favorable product mix across all of our product lines, and a decrease in inventory obsolescence expense. The Flight Support Group recognized higher inventory obsolescence expense in the fourth and third quarters of fiscal 2020 following the announced retirement of certain aircraft types and engine platforms by our commercial aerospace customers due to the Pandemic's financial impact.

The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 18.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from 11.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The operating margin increase principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales, improved gross profit margin, and lower inventory obsolescence expense.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased to $927.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $924.8 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The net sales increase reflects the impact from our profitable fiscal 2021 and 2020 acquisitions, partially offset by lower demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from a decline in global commercial air travel attributable to the Pandemic.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 6% to $151.9 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $143.1 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The operating income increase principally reflects lower bad debt expense due to certain commercial aviation customers filing for bankruptcy protection in fiscal 2020 as a result of the Pandemic's financial impact, the previously mentioned decrease in inventory obsolescence expense, and an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by higher performance-based compensation expense.

The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 16.4% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from 15.5% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The operating margin increase principally reflects the previously mentioned lower bad debt expense and inventory obsolescence expense, partially offset by higher 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, "Despite the Pandemic continuing to moderate demand for certain of our products, we are pleased to report quarterly increases of 7% and 4% in net sales and operating income, respectively, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. These record results reflect strong quarterly organic net sales growth for the majority of our products as well as the impact from our profitable fiscal 2021 and 2020 acquisitions.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 7% to a record $253.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $236.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The net sales increase principally resulted from organic growth of 5% as well as the impact from our fiscal 2021 and 2020 acquisitions. The organic growth principally reflects increased demand for our other electronic, medical and commercial aerospace products, partially offset by decreased net sales of defense products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 4% to a record $76.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $73.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially offset by a lower gross profit margin mainly from lower net sales of defense products, partially offset by an increase in net sales of other electronic, commercial aerospace and medical products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was a very strong 30.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 31.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The operating margin decrease principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin as well as higher performance-based compensation expense.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 10% to a record $959.2 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $875.0 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The net sales increase principally reflects our fiscal 2020 and 2021 acquisitions as well as organic growth of 3%. The organic growth was mostly driven by increased demand for our other electronic and medical products, partially offset by decreased net sales of our commercial aerospace and space products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 7% to a record $277.3 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, up from $258.8 million in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially offset by a lower gross profit margin mainly from a decrease in net sales of defense and space products, partially offset by the increase in net sales of other electronic products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 28.9% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, as compared to 29.6% in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The operating margin decrease principally reflects the previously mentioned lower 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), 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 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.
