HOLLYWOOD, FL and MIAMI, FL -- HEICO CORPORATION (NYSE: HEI.A) (NYSE: HEI) today reported net income increased 34% to a record $136.6 million, or $.97 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $102.0 million, or $.74 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Consolidated Results
Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the Company's third quarter results stating, "We are very pleased to report strong record quarterly consolidated net sales driven by record quarterly operating results at the Flight Support Group, as well as strong contributions from our fiscal 2023 and 2024 acquisitions. These results reflect outstanding 15% organic net sales growth in the Flight Support Group principally arising from increased demand across all of its product lines and increased demand for the Electronic Technology Group's defense, space and aerospace products.
Our total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio was 4.73x as of July 31, 2024, down from 6.14x as of October 31, 2023. Our net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.11x as of July 31, 2024, down from 3.04x as of October 31, 2023. See our reconciliation of total debt to net debt at the end of this press release.
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 47% to $214.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $145.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. We continue to forecast strong cash flow from operations for fiscal 2024.
Last week, we announced our Flight Support Group acquired the Aerial Delivery and Descent Devices divisions of Capewell Aerial Systems. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, principally using proceeds from our revolving credit facility, and we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our earnings within the year following the acquisition.
As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2024, we remain optimistic about achieving net sales growth in both the FSG and ETG. This growth is expected to be largely fueled by the contributions from our fiscal 2023 and 2024 acquisitions, along with sustained demand for the majority of our products. Additionally, we are committed to ongoing product and service innovation, further market penetration, and maintaining our financial strength and flexibility."
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 record setting third quarter results stating, "Building on our growth trajectory, we achieved quarterly increases of 68% in net sales and 72% in operating income compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. These strong results are primarily driven by a robust 15% quarterly organic net sales growth, largely attributed to 17% organic net sales growth in our aftermarket replacement parts product line, as well as the contributions from our fiscal 2023 and 2024 acquisitions. This marks sixteen consecutive quarters of net sales growth for the Flight Support Group.
-more-
The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 68% to a record $681.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $405.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 67% to a record $1,947.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, up from $1,168.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The Flight Support Group's net sales increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024 reflects the impact from our fiscal 2023 and 2024 acquisitions and strong organic growth of 15% and 13%, respectively. The organic net sales growth mainly reflects increased demand across all of our product lines.
The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 72% to a record $153.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $89.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by an increase in intangible asset amortization expense. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales within our aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul parts and services product lines.
The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 61% to a record $438.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, up from $272.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by an increase in intangible asset amortization expense and the prior year impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales within our aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul parts and services product lines.
The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 22.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from 22.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The increased operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin as well as lower acquisition costs, partially offset by the previously mentioned higher intangible asset amortization expense.
The Flight Support Group's operating margin was 22.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to 23.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The lower operating margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 principally reflects the previously mentioned higher intangible asset amortization expense and the prior year impact from the amendment and termination of a contingent consideration agreement, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation expense as a percentage of net sales and the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin."
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 third quarter results stating, "The Electronic Technologies Group's profitability continues to improve
-more-
led by strong organic growth in net sales from our defense, space and aerospace products in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales were $322.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $325.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
The slight net sales decrease principally reflects lower other electronics and medical products net sales, partially offset by increased defense, space and aerospace products net sales.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 5% to a record $927.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, up from $882.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The net sales increase is mainly attributable to the impact of our fiscal 2023 acquisition and increased organic net sales of our defense and aerospace products, partially offset by lower organic net sales of our other electronics and medical products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 2% to $75.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $74.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The operating income increase principally reflects an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by a lower level of selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") efficiencies. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects increased defense, aerospace and space products net sales, partially offset by decreased other electronics products net sales.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 4% to $206.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, up from $198.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and an improved gross profit margin, partially offset by lower SG&A efficiencies. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned increased defense and aerospace products net sales, partially offset by the previously mentioned decreased other electronics and medical products net sales.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 23.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, up from 22.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The operating margin increase principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin, partially offset by a lower level of SG&A efficiencies.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 22.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to 22.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The operating margin change principally reflects increased SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned lower level of SG&A efficiencies, which was 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.

Certain statements in this press release constitute forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies. 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 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 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. Parties receiving this material are encouraged to review all of HEICO's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to filings on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
