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, 2024. The October 31, 2024 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 six months ended
April 30, 2025 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. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. ("HEICO Electronic") and its subsidiaries.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, or in fiscal 2025 for HEICO, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or
8
cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of specific categories in the annual effective tax rate reconciliation table and further disaggregation for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or in fiscal 2026 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
In November 2024, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired 70 % of the stock of SVM Private Limited ("SVM"). SVM designs and manufactures high-performance electronic passive components and subsystems, including critical magnetic components and busbars, that serve the healthcare and industrial end-markets. The remaining 30 % interest continues to be owned by a certain member of SVM's management team. See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2024, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, entered into an exclusive license agreement and acquired certain assets to support the Boeing 777 AIMS (Airplane Information Management System) and Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 VIA (Versatile Integrated Avionics) product lines from Honeywell International. Honeywell's AIMS for the Boeing 777 and VIA for the Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 are integrated avionics systems providing cockpit displays, maintenance diagnostics, and flight management functions. The transaction provides the HFSC subsidiary with the exclusive capability to produce, sell, and repair Boeing
9
777 AIMS and Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 VIA hardware systems. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and cash provided by operating activities, and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2025, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, acquired 90 % of the membership interests of Millennium International, LLC ("Millennium"). Millennium is an FAA and EASA-certified Part 145 Repair Station, specializing in the repair and support of new generation and legacy avionics systems and components. Millennium offers comprehensive repair, overhaul, retrofit, and exchange services to its customers that include aircraft OEMs, fleet operators, repair businesses, and avionics brokers. The remaining 10 % interest continues to be owned by certain members of Millennium’s management team. See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information. The total consideration includes an accrual of $11.5 million as of the acquisition date representing the estimated fair value of contingent consideration the Company may be obligated to pay should Millennium meet a certain earnings objective following the acquisition. See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration obligation. The purchase price of this acquisition was principally paid in cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and cash provided by operating activities, as well as through the issuance of 53,186 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2025, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Rosen Aviation, LLC ("Rosen"). Rosen designs and manufactures in-flight entertainment products, principally in-cabin displays and control panels, for the business and aviation markets. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The allocation of the total consideration for the fiscal 2025 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 adjustment to such allocation to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the fiscal 2025 acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations as of each effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of the fiscal 2025 acquisitions included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six and three months ended April 30, 2025 is not material. Had the fiscal 2025 acquisitions occurred as of November 1, 2023, 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 six and three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

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 2034. 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):
| April 30, 2025 | October 31, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Redeemable at fair value | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Redeemable based on a multiple of future earnings | |||||||||||
| Redeemable noncontrolling interests | $ | $ | |||||||||
As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired 70 % of the stock of SVM in November 2024. As part of the shareholders' agreement, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase their equity interest beginning in fiscal 2029, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same equity interest over the same period.
During fiscal 2022, the holder of a 19.9 % noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of HFSC that was acquired in fiscal 2015 exercised their option to cause the Company to purchase their noncontrolling interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2026. In December 2024, the Company acquired an additional one-fourth of such interest, which increased the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary to 95.03 %.
As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, acquired 90 % of the membership interests of Millennium in January 2025. As part of the operating agreement, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase their membership interest over a four-year period beginning in fiscal 2029, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same membership interest over the same period.

During fiscal 2024, the holders of a 15 % noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of the ETG that was acquired in fiscal 2019 exercised their option to cause the Company to purchase their noncontrolling interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2027. In February 2025, the Company acquired an additional one-fourth of such interest, which increased the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary to 92.5 %.
As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, which was 87.9 % owned by the Company, acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Rosen. As a result of this acquisition, the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary of HEICO Electronic increased to approximately 92.4%.

The increase in the Company's contract assets during the first six months of fiscal 2025 mainly reflects additional unbilled receivables on certain customer contracts using an over-time recognition model in excess of billings on certain customer contracts, mainly at the FSG. The increase in the Company's total contract liabilities during the first six months of fiscal 2025 principally reflects the receipt of advance deposits on certain customer contracts, mainly at the FSG.
16
The amount of revenue that the Company recognized during the six and three months ended April 30, 2025 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2025 was $46.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Backlog, which the Company believes to be the equivalent of its remaining performance obligations, represents contractually committed or firm customer orders. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had $2,024.7 million of remaining performance obligations associated with firm contracts pertaining to many of the products offered by the FSG and ETG. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $963.8 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2025 and $1,060.9 million thereafter, of which more than half is expected to occur in fiscal 2026.

The Company maintains the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of the 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 LCP represent an investment in a money market fund that is classified within Level 1. The assets of the LCP are held within an irrevocable trust and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related liabilities of the LCP are included within other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $327.3 million as of April 30, 2025 and $315.0 million as of October 31, 2024.
As part of the agreement to acquire 90 % of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2025, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $21.1 million in fiscal 2028 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during the three-year period following the acquisition provided the entity meets a certain earnings objective over the same three-year period. As of April 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $12.0 million.
As part of the agreement to acquire 96 % of the stock of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $27.4 million in fiscal 2027 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during fiscal years 2025 and 2026. As of April 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $21.4 million.
As part of the agreement to acquire 74 % of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $14.1 million in fiscal 2027 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the five-year period following the acquisition. Based on actual results to-date and an improving forecast for the subsidiary's products over the remainder of the earnout period, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration increased from $0.0 million as of October 31, 2024 to $6.7 million as of April 30, 2025.
As part of the agreement to acquire 89.99 % of the equity interests of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company paid contingent consideration of CAD $11.7 million, or $8.1 million, in January 2025 as the acquired entity met certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2023 and 2024.

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 April 30, 2025 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of borrowings under the Company's credit facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. See Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for the estimated fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes.

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 Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
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. ("HEICO Electronic") and its subsidiaries.
Our results of operations for the six and three months ended April 30, 2025 have been affected by the fiscal 2024 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 and the fiscal 2025 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report.

Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2025 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2024
Net Sales
Our consolidated net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2025 increased by 15% to a record $2,128.0 million, up from net sales of $1,851.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $214.3 million (a 17% increase) to a record $1,480.2 million in net sales of the FSG and an increase of $67.2 million (an 11% increase) to a record $672.5 million in net sales of the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 14% and net sales of $42.9 million contributed by fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The FSG's organic net sales growth reflects increased demand within its aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of $127.1 million, $30.7 million, and $13.5 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects strong organic growth of 7% and net sales of $19.3 million contributed by fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. The ETG's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its space, defense, and aerospace products resulting in net sales increases of $20.6 million, $15.0 million, and $9.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in demand for its medical products resulting in a net sales decrease of $3.1 million. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses
Our consolidated gross profit margin improved to 39.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from 38.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting a 1.4% increase in the FSG’s gross profit margin, partially offset by a .2% decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth across all of its product lines, inclusive of a more favorable mix of defense products within its specialty products product line. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $56.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from $53.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024.
Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $368.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, as compared to $329.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses reflects $12.6 million attributable to our fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions, $12.1 million attributable to changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration, $8.9 million of higher performance-based compensation expense and $8.5 million of higher other selling expenses, partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in other general administrative expenses.
Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales improved to 17.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, down from 17.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects efficiencies realized from the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially offset by a .6%
27
impact from the previously mentioned changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration.
Operating Income
Our consolidated operating income increased by 22% to a record $475.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from $389.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects a $66.1 million increase (a 23% increase) to a record $351.1 million in operating income of the FSG and a $23.7 million increase (an 18% increase) to a record $154.3 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, improved gross profit margin and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, partially offset by a $12.5 million impact from changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration. The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth.
Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 22.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from 21.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects an increase in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 23.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from 21.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2024 and an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 23.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from 22.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a 1.6% impact from lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to the previously mentioned efficiencies realized from the net sales growth. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $65.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, down from $77.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decrease in the amount of outstanding debt as well as a lower weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
Other Income
Other income in the first six months of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was not material.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate decreased to 14.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2025, down from 16.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in our effective tax rate principally reflects a larger tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter
28
of fiscal 2025. We recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 of $27.2 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
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 $27.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, as compared to $22.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects 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 by 37% to a record $324.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from $237.8 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income.
Comparison of Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025 to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2024
Net Sales
Our consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased by 15% to a record $1,097.8 million, up from net sales of $955.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $119.8 million (a 19% increase) to a record $767.1 million in net sales of the FSG and an increase of $22.8 million (a 7% increase) to $342.2 million in net sales of the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 14% and net sales of $29.4 million contributed by fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions. The FSG's organic net sales growth reflects increased demand within its aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of $66.2 million, $15.7 million, and $8.5 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects organic growth of 4% and net sales of $9.4 million contributed by fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. The ETG's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its space, aerospace, and other electronics products resulting in net sales increases of $7.1 million, $4.6 million, and $2.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in demand for its medical and defense products resulting in net sales decreases of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
29
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses
Our consolidated gross profit margin improved to 39.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 38.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting a 2.1% increase in the FSG’s gross profit margin, partially offset by a 1.4% decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales within our repair and overhaul parts and services product line and higher net sales and a more favorable mix of defense products within our specialty products product line. The decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned decrease in net sales of defense and medical products, partially offset by the higher net sales of space products. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $28.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $27.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Our consolidated SG&A expenses were $189.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to $162.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $9.9 million attributable to changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration, $8.6 million attributable to our fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions, $5.6 million of higher performance-based compensation expense, and $4.1 million of higher other selling expenses.
Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 17.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to 17.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a 1.0% impact from the previously mentioned changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration, partially offset by efficiencies realized from the previously mentioned net sales growth.
Operating Income
Our consolidated operating income increased by 19% to a record $248.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $209.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects a $36.1 million increase (a 24% increase) to a record $185.0 million in operating income of the FSG and a $2.6 million increase (a 3% increase) to $77.9 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and improved gross profit margin, partially offset by a $9.9 million impact from changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration. The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, partially offset by the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin.
Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 22.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 21.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects an increase in
30
the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 24.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 23.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, partially offset by a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 22.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to 23.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin, partially offset by a 1.0% impact from an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration. The decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin, partially offset by a .6% impact from lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned efficiencies.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $32.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, down from $38.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decrease in the amount of outstanding debt and a lower weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
Other Income
Other income in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was not material.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate decreased to 21.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, down from 21.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
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 $13.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to $11.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects 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 by 27% to $156.8 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $123.1 million, or $.88 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income.
31
Outlook
As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2025, we remain confident in achieving net sales growth across both the FSG and ETG segments, driven primarily by strong organic demand for most of our products. Additionally, we aim to accelerate growth through our recently completed acquisitions while positioning ourselves to capitalize on future 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, interest payments, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. We anticipate fiscal 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately $65 to $70 million. We finance our activities primarily from our operating and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes contain both financial and non-financial covenants. As of April 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 56.5%.
Based on our current outlook, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $407.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $352.1 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $95.1 million (a non-cash item), net changes of $31.9 million included in the "Other" caption (principally the receipt of advance deposits on certain long-term customer contracts), and net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP") of $16.6 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), partially offset by a $93.8 million increase in net working capital. The increase in net working capital is inclusive of a $46.1 million increase in inventories to support an increase in consolidated backlog, a $40.4 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of collections, and a $39.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2024 accrued performance-based compensation, partially offset by accrued fiscal 2025 performance-based compensation, as well as $29.2 million increase in trade accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $154.9 million (a 61% increase) in the first six months of fiscal 2025, up from $252.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. The increase is principally attributable to a $91.7 million increase in net income from
32
consolidated operations, a $54.5 million decrease in net working capital and a $12.1 million increase in accrued contingent consideration.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $339.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025 and related primarily to acquisitions of $286.2 million, capital expenditures of $33.3 million, and LCP funding of $17.7 million. Further details regarding our fiscal 2025 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 six months of fiscal 2025 totaled $9.3 million. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we borrowed $145.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which was partially offset by $95.0 million in payments made on our revolving credit facility, $17.6 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, $15.3 million of cash dividends paid on our common stock, and $6.0 million of contingent consideration payments.
Other Obligations and Commitments
There have not been any material changes to our other obligations and commitments that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024.

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Guarantor Group Summarized Financial Information
On July 27, 2023, we completed the public offer and sale of senior unsecured notes, which consisted of $600 million principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due August 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and $600 million principal amount of 5.35% Senior Notes due August 1, 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under our revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") (the “Guarantor Group”).
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between HEICO and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and,
33
together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations of HEICO and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is owned either directly or indirectly by the Company and jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the Notes. None of the Subsidiary Guarantors are organized outside of the U.S.
Under the Indenture, holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to the release of a subsidiary guarantee provided by a subsidiary guarantor, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes, upon such subsidiary guarantor ceasing to guarantee or to be an obligor with respect to the Credit Facility. Accordingly, if the lenders under the Credit Facility release a subsidiary guarantor from its guarantee of, or obligations as a borrower under, the Credit Facility, the obligations of the subsidiary guarantors to guarantee the Notes will immediately terminate. If any of our future subsidiaries incur obligations under the Credit Facility while the Notes are outstanding, then such subsidiary will be required to guarantee the Notes.
In addition, a subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved from all its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee in the following circumstances, each of which is permitted by the indenture:
•upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting stock of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to us or any of our affiliates); or
•upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the property of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to any of our affiliates or another subsidiary guarantor);
provided, however, that, in each case, such transaction is permitted by the Credit Facility and after giving effect to such transaction, such subsidiary guarantor is no longer liable for any subsidiary guarantee or other obligations in respect of the Credit Facility. The subsidiary guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor also will be released if we exercise our legal defeasance, covenant defeasance option or discharge the Indenture.
We conduct our operations almost entirely through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Guarantor Group’s cash flow and ability to service any guaranteed registered debt securities will depend on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to the Guarantor Group, including the earnings of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, whether by dividends, loans or otherwise. Holders of the guaranteed registered debt securities will have a direct claim only against the Guarantor Group.
The following tables include summarized financial information for the Guarantor Group (in thousands). The information for the Guarantor Group is presented on a combined basis, excluding intercompany balances and transactions between us and the Guarantor Group and excluding investments in and equity in the earnings of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Guarantor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-guarantor
34
subsidiaries have been presented in separate line items. The consolidating schedules are provided in accordance with the reporting requirements of Rule 13-01 under SEC Regulation S-X for the issuer and guarantor subsidiaries.

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,
35
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:
•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.
For further information on these and other factors that potentially could materially affect our financial results, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024. 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.
