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, 2020. The October 31, 2020 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, 2021 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.
The Company's results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 continue to reflect the adverse impact from the COVID-19 global pandemic (the “Pandemic”). Most notably, demand for HEICO's commercial aviation products and services continues to be moderated by the ongoing depressed commercial aerospace market. Consolidated net sales for the Company's businesses that operate within the commercial aerospace industry decreased by approximately 43 % during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2021, the extent to which the Pandemic may have a material adverse effect on the Company's future business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on many factors that are not within HEICO’s control, including but not limited to the duration, spread and severity of the Pandemic, the emergence of new coronavirus strain variants, the timing of distribution and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, government responses and other actions to mitigate the spread of and to treat the Pandemic, and when and to what extent normal business, economic and social activity and conditions resume. However, the Company is cautiously optimistic that the recent vaccine progress may generate increased commercial air travel and result in a gradual recovery in demand for its commercial aerospace parts and services commencing toward the second-half of fiscal 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update "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. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and will apply the guidance on a prospective basis when assessing its goodwill for impairment.

5. REVENUE
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.

Changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities for the three months ended January 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):
January 31, 2021 October 31, 2020 Change
Contract assets $ 57,876 $ 60,429 ($ 2,553 )
Contract liabilities 30,004 25,631 4,373
Net contract assets $ 27,872 $ 34,798 ($ 6,926 )
The decrease in the Company's contract assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects billings on certain customer contracts made during the quarter in excess of amounts recorded as unbilled receivables on certain customer contracts using an over-time recognition model.

The increase in the Company's contract liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects the receipt during the quarter of new 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 2021 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2021 was $ 11.2 million.
Remaining Performance Obligations

As of January 31, 2021, the Company had $ 486.2 million of remaining performance obligations associated with contracts with an original duration of greater than one year pertaining to the majority of the products offered by the ETG as well as certain products of the FSG's specialty products and aftermarket replacement parts product lines. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $ 286.5 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2021 and $ 199.7 million thereafter, of which the majority is expected to occur in fiscal 2022.

6. INCOME TAXES
The Company's income tax expense was $ 2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to an income tax benefit of $ 22.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 of $ 13.5 million and $ 47.6 million, respectively. The tax benefit from stock option exercises in both periods was the result of strong appreciation in HEICO's stock price during the optionees' holding periods and the $ 34.1 million larger benefit recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was the result of more stock options exercised.

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 investments in money market funds that are 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 $ 212.2 million as of January 31, 2021 and $ 178.3 million as of October 31, 2020.

As part of the agreement to acquire 89.99 % of the equity interests of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to CAD $ 27.0 million, or $ 21.1 million, in fiscal 2025 should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2023 and 2024. However, should the acquired entity achieve a certain earnings objective over any two consecutive fiscal years beginning in fiscal 2021 and ending in fiscal 2023, half of the contingent consideration obligation, or CAD $ 13.5 million, would be payable in the following year. As of January 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was CAD $ 13.0 million, or $ 10.2 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $ 35.0 million in fiscal 2025 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during calendar years 2023 and 2024 provided the entity meets certain earnings objectives during each of calendar years 2021 to 2024. As of January 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $ 14.4 million. The obligation to pay any contingent consideration would be payable by a consolidated subsidiary of HEICO that is 75 % owned by HEICO Electronic.

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 a certain earnings objective during the first six years following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $ 18.3 million.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements described above are classified within Level 3 and were determined using probability-based scenario analyses. 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 consolidated statements of operations.

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, 2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2021.

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 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 continue to reflect the adverse impact from the COVID-19 global pandemic (the “Pandemic”). Most notably, demand for our commercial aviation products and services continues to be moderated by the ongoing depressed commercial aerospace market. Consolidated net sales for our businesses that operate within the commercial aerospace industry decreased by approximately 43% during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2021, the extent to which the Pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on many factors that are not within HEICO’s control, including but not limited to the duration, spread and severity of the Pandemic, the emergence of new coronavirus strain variants, the timing of distribution and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, government responses and other actions to mitigate the spread of and to treat the Pandemic, and when and to what extent normal business, economic and social activity and conditions resume. However, we are cautiously optimistic that the recent vaccine progress may generate increased commercial air travel and result in a gradual recovery in demand for our commercial aerospace parts and services commencing toward the second-half of fiscal 2021.



21
Additionally, our results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2021 have been affected by the fiscal 2020 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, 2020.

Comparison of First Quarter of Fiscal 2021 to First Quarter of Fiscal 2020

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased by 17% to $417.9 million, as compared to net sales of $506.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in consolidated net sales principally reflects a decrease of $101.7 million (a 34% decrease) to $199.3 million in net sales within the FSG, partially offset by an increase of $15.1 million (a 7% increase) to $223.6 million in net sales within the ETG. The net sales decrease in the FSG is principally organic and reflects lower demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from the significant decline in global commercial air travel attributable to the Pandemic. As a result, organic net sales of our aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines decreased by $52.6 million, $26.9 million, and $25.0 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG principally reflects $14.6 million contributed by our fiscal 2020 acquisitions. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin was 37.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 39.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, principally reflecting a decrease of 4.2% and 1.3% in the FSG's and ETG's gross profit margin, respectively. The decrease in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the impact from the previously mentioned lower net sales of commercial aerospace products and services across all of its product lines. The decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects a decrease in net sales of commercial aerospace products and lower net sales and a less favorable product mix of certain defense products, partially offset by an increase in net sales of certain other electronics products. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $16.2 million and $17.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by 10% to $78.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $87.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses reflects a $2.6 million decrease in performance-based compensation expense, a $4.3 million reduction in other selling expenses including outside sales commissions, marketing and travel, and a $5.9 million reduction in other general and administrative expenses, partially offset by $3.8 million attributable to the fiscal 2020 acquisitions.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 18.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 17.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a 1.0% increase from higher other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales and a .6% impact from higher intangible asset amortization expense.


23
Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income decreased by 28% to $80.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $111.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in consolidated operating income principally reflects a $36.2 million decrease (a 58% decrease) to $25.8 million in operating income of the FSG, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase (a 5% increase) to $60.1 million in operating income of the ETG. The decrease in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously mentioned decrease in net sales, lower gross profit margin and the impact from lost fixed cost efficiencies stemming from the Pandemic. The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth. Further, the decrease in consolidated operating income was partially offset by $3.1 million of lower corporate expenses mainly attributable to a decrease in performance-based compensation expense.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales was 19.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 21.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease principally reflects a decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 13.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 20.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 26.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 27.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and a 3.4% increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned lost fixed cost efficiencies and the effect of the previously mentioned higher intangible asset amortization expense. The decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin, partially offset by a .6% decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from efficiencies gained from the previously mentioned net sales growth.

Interest expense decreased to $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, down from $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease was principally due to a lower weighted average interest rate partially offset by a higher weighted average balance of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Other Income

Other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was not material.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to an income tax benefit of $22.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. HEICO recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 of $13.5 million and $47.6 million, respectively. The tax benefit from stock option exercises in

both periods was the result of strong appreciation in our stock price during the optionees' holding periods and the $34.1 million larger benefit recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was the result of more stock options exercised.

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 $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 principally reflects a decrease in operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG in which noncontrolling interests are held.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO was $70.6 million, or $.51 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $121.9 million, or $.89 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 principally reflecting the previously mentioned lower operating income of the FSG and higher income tax expense, partially offset by less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and lower interest expense.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2021, the Pandemic will likely continue to negatively impact the commercial aerospace industry and HEICO. Given this uncertainty, HEICO cannot provide fiscal 2021 net sales and earnings guidance at this time. However, we believe our ongoing fiscal conservative policies, healthy balance sheet, and increased liquidity will permit us to invest in new research and development and gain market share as the industry recovers.

In addition, our time-tested strategy of maintaining low debt and acquiring and operating high cash generating businesses across a diverse base of industries beyond commercial aerospace, such as defense, space and other high-end markets including electronics and medical, puts us in a good financial position to weather this uncertain economic period. Further, we are cautiously optimistic that the vaccine progress may generate increased commercial air travel and result in a gradual recovery in demand for our commercial aerospace parts and services commencing primarily in the second-half of fiscal 2021.



25
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. We continue to anticipate fiscal 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately $40 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, 2021, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 32.2%.

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 $107.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $76.2 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $23.0 million (a non-cash item), net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan ("LCP") of $12.0 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), $2.8 million in employer contributions to the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan (a non-cash item), and $2.2 million in share-based compensation expense (a non-cash item), partially offset by an $8.3 million deferred income tax benefit and a $3.1 million increase in net working capital. The increase in net working capital is inclusive of a $19.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2020 accrued performance-based compensation, partially offset by an $11.9 million decrease in accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from the timing of collections and a $2.6 million decrease in inventories. The deferred income tax benefit principally reflects an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies related to the LCP.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $26.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $81.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase is principally attributable to a $58.9 million decrease in net working capital and a $17.4 million decrease in deferred income tax benefits, partially offset by a $53.6 million decrease in net income from consolidated operations. The decrease in net working capital primarily resulted from the payment of a smaller amount of accrued performance-based compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 resulting from the lower fiscal 2020 operating results mainly attributable to the Pandemic, and a slight decrease in inventory during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to pre-Pandemic inventory growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in deferred income tax benefits is mainly attributable to the previously mentioned larger income tax benefit from stock option exercises in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

26
Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $25.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and related primarily to capital expenditures of $15.5 million and investments related to the HEICO LCP of $10.4 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled $91.4 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we made $70.0 million in payments on our revolving credit facility, paid $10.8 million in cash dividends on our common stock, made $7.7 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, redeemed common stock related to stock option exercises aggregating $3.6 million and paid revolving credit facility issuance costs of $1.5 million, which were partially offset by $2.5 million in proceeds from stock option exercises.

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, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

As of January 31, 2021, we have arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating $ 15.6 million, which are supported by our revolving credit facility and principally pertain to performance guarantees related to customer contracts entered into by certain of our subsidiaries as well as payment guarantees related to potential workers' compensation claims and a facility lease.
