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, 2018. The October 31, 2018 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, 2019 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. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation principally to reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the adoption of ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Stock Split

All applicable fiscal 2018 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock split effected in June 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, which, as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 provides a comprehensive

Index

new revenue recognition model that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts.

The Company adopted ASC 606 as of November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 to all uncompleted contracts on the date of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and remains as previously reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition."

ASC 606 impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. ASC 606 also impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances customer-owned assets while performing repair and overhaul services. For these two types of contracts, the Company now recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model as opposed to generally recognizing revenue at the time of shipment under previous guidance. See Note 6, Revenue, for additional information regarding the Company's revenue recognition policies and disclosures required by ASC 606.

The following table presents the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 1, 2018 (in thousands):

The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was not material for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases," which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, or in fiscal 2020 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02, as amended, provides certain optional transition relief and shall be applied either at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption using a modified retrospective transition approach or by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which is intended to simplify the current test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the second step in which the implied value of a reporting unit is calculated when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment should be recognized for the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective for any annual or interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or in fiscal 2021 for HEICO. Early adoption is

Index

permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

2. ACQUISITIONS

In November 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired an additional equity interest in Freebird Semiconductor Corporation ("Freebird"), which increased the Company's aggregate equity interest in Freebird to greater than 50%. Accordingly, the Company began consolidating the operating results of Freebird as of the acquisition date. Prior to this transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in Freebird under the equity method. Freebird is a fabless design and manufacturing company that offers advanced high-reliability wide-band gap power switching technology. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities.

In November 2018, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 92.7% of the stock of Apex Microtechnology, Inc. ("Apex"). Apex designs and manufactures precision power analog monolithic, hybrid and open frame components for a certain wide range of aerospace, defense, industrial, measurement, medical and test applications. The remaining 7.3% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Apex's management team (see Note 3, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information). The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility.

In November 2018, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired all of the stock of Specialty Silicone Products, Inc. ("SSP"). SSP designs and manufactures silicone material for a variety of demanding applications used in aerospace, defense, research, oil and gas, testing, pharmaceuticals and other markets. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash principally using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility.

The following table summarizes the aggregate total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions (in thousands):



Cash paid		$102,491
Less: cash acquired	(1,452		)
Cash paid, net	101,039
Fair value of existing equity interest	1,443
Additional purchase consideration	(134		)
Total consideration		$102,348

Index

The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed (in thousands):





Assets acquired:
Goodwill		$55,020
Customer relationships	15,710
Property, plant and equipment	14,905
Intellectual property	11,923
Inventories	8,403
Trade names	7,190
Accounts receivable	5,176
Other assets	296
Total assets acquired, excluding cash	118,623

Liabilities assumed:
Deferred income taxes	4,284
Accrued expenses	2,173
Accounts payable	1,840
Other liabilities	506
Total liabilities assumed	8,803

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries	7,472

Net assets acquired, excluding cash		$102,348

The following table summarizes the weighted average amortization period of the definite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions (in years):




Customer relationships	11
Intellectual property	17

The allocation of the total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. However, the Company does not expect any adjustments to such allocations to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The primary items that generated the goodwill recognized were the premiums paid by the Company for the future earnings potential of the businesses acquired and the value of their assembled workforces that do not qualify for separate

Index

recognition, which, in the case of Apex and Freebird benefit both the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Apex and Freebird was determined based on the consideration paid by the Company for its controlling ownership interest adjusted for a lack of control that a market participant would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest.

The operating results of the fiscal 2019 acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations from each of the effective acquisition dates. The amount of net sales and earnings of the fiscal 2019 acquisitions included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2019 is not material. Had the fiscal 2019 acquisitions occurred as of November 1, 2017, 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, 2019 and 2018 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

Accrued Customer Rebates and Credits

The aggregate amount of accrued customer rebates and credits included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $14.2 million as of January 31, 2019 and $16.9 million as of October 31, 2018. The total customer rebates and credits deducted within net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

The amount of new product research and development ("R&D") expenses included in cost of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended January 31,
	2019		2018
R&D expenses		$15,200		$12,707

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 2026. 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):



	January 31, 2019		October 31, 2018
Redeemable at fair value		$90,473		$83,524
Redeemable based on a multiple of future earnings	48,522		48,522
Redeemable noncontrolling interests		$138,995		$132,046

Index

As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired 92.7% of the stock of Apex in November 2018. As part of the shareholders' agreement, the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase their equity interests over a four-year period beginning in fiscal 2023, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended January 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):



	Foreign Currency Translation			Pension Benefit Obligation			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balances as of October 31, 2018		($14,370	)		($886	)		($15,256	)
Unrealized gain	4,181			—			4,181
Amortization of unrealized loss	—			6			6
Balances as of January 31, 2019		($10,189	)		($880	)		($11,069	)

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the three months ended January 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):



	Segment					Consolidated Totals
	FSG			ETG		Consolidated Totals
Balances as of October 31, 2018		$398,694			$716,138		$1,114,832
Goodwill acquired	—			55,020		55,020
Foreign currency translation adjustments	186			488		674
Adjustments to goodwill	(125		)	—		(125		)
Balances as of January 31, 2019		$398,755			$771,646		$1,170,401

The goodwill acquired pertains to the fiscal 2019 acquisitions described in Note 2, Acquisitions, and represents the residual value after the allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed. 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 purchase price allocation of certain fiscal 2018 acquisitions. The Company estimates that $17 million of the goodwill acquired in fiscal 2019 will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Index

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

		$738,895		($209,704	)		$529,191		$702,876		($196,516	)		$506,360

The increase in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships, intellectual property and trade names as of January 31, 2019 compared to October 31, 2018 principally relates to such intangible assets recognized in connection with the fiscal 2019 acquisitions (see Note 2, Acquisitions).

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was $12.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2019 is estimated to be $38.6 million. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is estimated to be $48.7 million in fiscal 2020, $45.9 million in fiscal 2021, $39.5 million in fiscal 2022, $34.4 million in fiscal 2023, $30.2 million in fiscal 2024, and $150.3 million thereafter.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):



	January 31, 2019			October 31, 2018
Borrowings under revolving credit facility		$599,000			$523,000
Capital leases and note payable	9,521			9,470

		$607,656			$531,611

Index

The Company's borrowings under its revolving credit facility mature in fiscal 2023. As of January 31, 2019 and October 31 2018, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility was 3.6% and 3.4%, respectively. The revolving credit facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. As of January 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

6. REVENUE

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for the good or service. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied and control is transferred either at a point-in-time or over-time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control is transferred, which is generally evidenced by the shipment or delivery of the product to the customer, a transfer of title, a transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. For certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date and for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances a customer-owned asset while performing repair and overhaul services, control is transferred to the customer over-time. The Company recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model for these types of contracts.

Details of the products and services provided by the Company can be found within Disaggregation of Revenue which follows within this Note 6.

Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations

The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled to receive. Customer payment terms related to the sale of products and the rendering of services vary by Company subsidiary and product line. The time between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue for satisfaction of the related performance obligation is not significant.

A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account for recognizing revenue. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer goods or services. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its estimated standalone selling price. When standalone selling prices are not available, the transaction price is allocated using an expected cost plus margin approach as pricing for such contracts is typically negotiated on the basis of cost.

Index

The Company accounts for contract modifications prospectively when the remaining goods or services are distinct and on a cumulative catch-up basis when the remaining goods or services are not distinct.

The Company provides assurance type warranties on many of its products and services. Since customers cannot purchase such warranties independently of the products or services under contract and they are not priced separately, warranties are not separate performance obligations.

Contract Estimates

The Company utilizes the cost-to-cost method as a measure of progress for performance obligations that are satisfied over-time as it believes this input method best represents the transfer of control to the customer. Under this method, revenue for the current period is recorded at an amount equal to the ratio of costs incurred to date divided by total estimated contract costs multiplied by (i) the transaction price, less (ii) cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation.

Certain of the Company’s contracts give rise to variable consideration when they contain items such as customer rebates, credits, volume purchase discounts, penalties and other provisions that may impact the total consideration the Company will receive. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price generally by applying the most likely amount method of the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive based on an assessment of all available information (i.e., historical experience, current and forecasted performance) and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration by applying the most likely amount method when there are a limited number of outcomes related to the resolution of the variable consideration.

Changes in estimates that result in adjustments to net sales and cost of sales are recognized as necessary in the period they become known on a cumulative catch-up basis. Changes in estimates did not have a material effect on net income from consolidated operations for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

Practical Expedients and Optional Exemptions

The Company has elected the following practical expedients and optional exemptions allowed under ASC 606:


•	The majority of the Company’s performance obligations related to customer contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, the Company has elected to disclose remaining performance obligations only for contracts with an original duration of greater than one year.

Index


•	The Company has elected to record all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. When revenue is recognized in advance of incurring shipping and handling costs, the costs related to the shipping and handling activities are accrued.

•

For certain contracts with similar characteristics and for which revenue is recognized using an over-time model, the Company uses a portfolio approach to estimate the amount of revenue to recognize. For each portfolio of contracts, the respective work in process and/or finished goods inventory balances are identified and the portfolio-specific margin is applied to estimate the pro rata portion of the transaction price to recognize in relation to the costs incurred. This approach is utilized only when the resulting revenue recognition is not expected to be materially different than if the accounting was applied to the individual contracts.


•	The Company does not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a customer contract for the effects of the time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue for satisfaction of the related performance obligation is less than one year.


•	Sales commissions and any other costs of obtaining a customer contract with a duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred.

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 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company’s contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:



	January 31, 2019		November 1, 2018		Change

Contract assets		$47,093		$54,272		($7,179	)
Contract liabilities	26,715		19,674		7,041
Net contract assets		$20,378		$34,598		($14,220	)

The decrease in the Company's contract assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects billings on certain customer contracts made during the quarter in excess of the amounts recorded as additional unbilled receivables for contracts using an over-time recognition model.

The increase in the Company's contract liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects the receipt during the quarter of new

Index

customer deposits on certain customer contracts in excess of reductions to contract liabilities from customer deposits recognized as revenue.

The amount of revenue that the Company recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2019 was not material.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of January 31, 2019, the Company had $308.2 million of remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts with an original duration of greater than one year. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $183.7 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2019 and $124.5 million thereafter, of which the majority is expected to occur in fiscal 2020. As of January 31, 2019, the remaining performance obligations under contracts with an original duration of one year or less pertain to the majority of the products offered by the Electronic Technologies Group and the Flight Support Group's specialty products product line and repair and overhaul parts and services product line.

7. INCOME TAXES

In December 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act contains significant changes to previous tax law, some of which became immediately effective in fiscal 2018 including, among other things, a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and the implementation of a territorial tax system resulting in a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Certain other provisions of the Tax Act became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), a new deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction and increased limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The provisions of the Tax Act that became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 did not have a material effect on the Company's income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was 4.5% as compared to 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Income tax expense in both the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted as a result of discrete tax benefits. The tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased by $14.4 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities that was partially offset by a discrete tax expense related to a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that resulted in an $11.9 million net discrete tax benefit.

The Company maintains two non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The assets of the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan ("HEICO 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 HEICO LCP represent investments in money market funds that are classified within Level 1. The assets of the Company’s other deferred compensation plan are principally invested in equity securities and mutual funds that are classified within Level 1. The assets of both plans are held within irrevocable trusts and

classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $139.3 million as of January 31, 2019 and $132.7 million as of October 31, 2018, of which the LCP related assets were $138.0 million and $126.8 million as of January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. The related liabilities of the two deferred compensation plans are included within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $138.7 million as of January 31, 2019 and $131.7 million as of October 31, 2018, of which the LCP related liability was $137.4 million and $125.8 million as of January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $20.0 million in fiscal 2023 should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during the first six years following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $14.5 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire certain assets of a company by the ETG in fiscal 2016, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $1.4 million in aggregate during the first three years following the second anniversary of the acquisition should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during this same time period. During fiscal 2019, the Company paid $.3 million of contingent consideration based on the actual financial performance of the acquired entity during the third year following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $.9 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2015, the Company is obligated to pay contingent consideration of €6.1 million, or $7.0 million, based on the actual operating results of the acquired entity during the fourth year following the acquisition, which it expects to pay in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration as of January 31, 2019 as compared to the €5.1 million, or $5.8 million, accrued as of October 31, 2018 is based on the higher actual than anticipated earnings of the acquired entity.

The estimated fair value 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 HEICO. Changes in either the revenue growth rates, related earnings or the discount rate could result in a material change to the amount of contingent consideration accrued and such changes will be recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Index

The Level 3 inputs used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability as of January 31, 2019 were as follows:



	Fiscal 2017 Acquisition				Fiscal 2016 Acquisition
Compound annual revenue growth rate range	(4	%)	-	7%	4	%	-	13%
Weighted average discount rate	5.7%				4.9%

Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company recorded the increase in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments set forth in the table above within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three months ended January 31, 2019.

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, 2019 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rates.

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 Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2019 other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, which, as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 principally impacts the timing of revenue recognition for two types of our customer contracts. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 6, Revenue, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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, 2019 have been affected by the fiscal 2019 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report.

All applicable fiscal 2018 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock split effected in June 2018.

Comparison of First Quarter of Fiscal 2019 to First Quarter of Fiscal 2018

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased by 15% to $466.1 million, up from net sales of $404.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $28.8 million (an 18% increase) to $184.4 million in net sales within the ETG as well as an increase of $32.5 million (a 13% increase) to $287.2 million in net sales within the FSG. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects organic growth of 12% and $10.8 million in net sales contributed by our fiscal 2019 and 2018 acquisitions. The ETG's organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our defense, aerospace and space products resulting in net sales increases of $14.1 million, $3.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the FSG principally reflects organic growth of 13%. The FSG's organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand and new product offerings within our aftermarket replacement parts and specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of $25.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the ETG and FSG net sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin increased to 39.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from 38.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, principally reflecting an increase of .7% in the FSG's gross profit margin. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin is principally attributable to a more favorable product mix within our specialty products product line. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $84.3 million and $75.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $4.3 million attributable to changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration associated with prior year acquisitions, $3.5 million attributable to the fiscal 2019 and 2018 acquisitions and $1.7 million of higher performance-based compensation expense.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, down from 18.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects efficiencies realized from the net sales growth partially offset by a 1.0% impact from the previously mentioned changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration.

Index

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 23% to $97.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $79.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects an $8.4 million increase (a 19% increase) to $51.6 million in operating income of the ETG as well as a $7.0 million increase (a 15% increase) to $52.9 million in operating income of the FSG. The increase in operating income of the ETG and FSG mainly reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth. The increase in operating income of the FSG also reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 21.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from 19.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase principally reflects an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 18.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from 18.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and an increase in the ETG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 28.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up slightly from 27.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin and SG&A efficiencies, partially offset by a 1.2% impact from changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $5.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase was principally due to higher interest rates partially offset by a lower weighted average balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

In December 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act contains significant changes to previous tax law, some of which became immediately effective in fiscal 2018 including, among other things, a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and the implementation of a territorial tax system resulting in a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Certain other provisions of the Tax Act became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), a new deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction and increased limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The provisions of the Tax Act that became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 did not have a material effect on our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Index

Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was 4.5% as compared to 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Income tax expense in both the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted as a result of discrete tax benefits. The tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased by $14.4 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we recognized a discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of our U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities that was partially offset by a discrete tax expense related to a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that resulted in an $11.9 million net discrete tax benefit.

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 $8.7 million in first quarter of fiscal 2019 and inclusive of a tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that increased by $1.4 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $6.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 principally reflects the larger aforementioned tax benefit as well as improved operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased to a record $79.3 million, or $.58 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from $65.2 million, or $.48 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 principally reflecting the previously mentioned increased net sales and operating income.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2019, we anticipate net sales growth within the FSG's commercial aviation and defense product lines. We also expect growth within the ETG, principally driven by demand for the majority of our products. Also, we plan to continue our commitments to developing new products and services, further market penetration, and an aggressive acquisition strategy while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility. Based on our current economic visibility, we are increasing our estimated consolidated fiscal 2019 year-over-year growth in net sales to be 9% - 11% and in net income to be 11% - 13%, up from our prior growth estimates in net sales of 8% - 10% and in net income of approximately 10%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2019 are now anticipated to be approximately $43 million. We finance our activities primarily from our operating and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. As of January 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of January 31, 2019, our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 38.0%.

Based on our current outlook, we believe that our net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $88.0 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $20.0 million (a non-cash item), net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan ("LCP") of $9.1 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), a $3.8 million deferred income tax provision, $2.4 million in share-based compensation expense (a non-cash item) and $2.2 million in employer contributions to the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan (a non-cash item), partially offset by a $78.0 million increase in working capital. The increase in working capital is inclusive of a $34.5 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2018 accrued performance-based compensation, a $24.3 million increase in inventories to support the growth of our businesses and anticipated higher demand during the remainder of fiscal 2019 and a $19.8 million decrease in trade accounts payable reflecting the timing of payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 from $51.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease is principally attributable to a $48.1 million increase in net working capital partially offset by a decrease of $21.1 million in deferred income tax benefits, a $16.3 million increase in net income from consolidated operations, a $5.1 million increase in accrued contingent consideration, a $2.4 million increase in net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO LCP and a $1.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in net working capital primarily resulted from the timing associated with the payments of accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the collection of accounts receivable and the payment of income taxes and trade accounts payable. The decrease in deferred income tax benefits is principally attributable to the remeasurement of our U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities under the Tax Act in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Index

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $115.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and related primarily to acquisitions of $101.0 million (net of cash acquired), investments related to the HEICO LCP of $8.7 million and capital expenditures of $5.9 million. Further details regarding our fiscal 2019 acquisitions may be found in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 totaled $63.6 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we borrowed $93.0 million under our revolving credit facility to fund certain of our fiscal 2019 acquisitions. Additionally, we made $17.0 million in payments on our revolving credit facility, paid $9.3 million in cash dividends on our common stock, and made $2.8 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests.

Contractual Obligations

There have not been any material changes to the amounts presented in the table of contractual obligations that was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

As of January 31, 2019, we have arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating $4.3 million, which are supported by our revolving credit facility and pertain to payment guarantees related to potential workers' compensation claims and a facility lease as well as performance guarantees related to customer contracts entered into by certain of our subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature may be forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, phone calls and conference calls, concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. Also, forward-looking statements are based upon management’s estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently available information. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include: lower demand for commercial air travel or 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; 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 costs and delay sales; our ability to make acquisitions and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses; customer credit risk; interest, foreign currency exchange and income tax rates; economic conditions within and outside of the aviation, defense, space, medical, telecommunications and electronics industries, which could negatively impact our costs and revenues; and defense spending or budget cuts, which could reduce our defense-related revenue. 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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have not been any material changes in our assessment of HEICO’s sensitivity to market risk that was disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that HEICO’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter ended January 31, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, which as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 6, Revenue, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. While the adoption of ASC 606 was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, the future impact of ASC 606 is dependent on the mix and nature of specific customer contracts. As such, we have implemented certain changes to our internal controls over financial reporting to support the recognition and disclosure requirements under ASC 606, including changes to our accounting policies and internal control procedures.
