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.

Certain immaterial prior year amounts within the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation and resulted in no changes to total Net cash provided by operating
activities, Net cash used in investing activities and Net cash (used in)
provided by financing activities.

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 nine months ended July 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 nine months and third 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 as compared to pre-Pandemic levels. We experienced a significant
improvement in operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared
to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The third quarter of fiscal 2020 was the
quarter in which our results of operations were most negatively affected by the
Pandemic's impact. Since then, the Flight Support Group has reported four
consecutive quarters of improvement in net sales and operating income resulting
from signs of commercial air travel recovery.

Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2021 and to fiscal 2022, we remain
cautiously optimistic that the ongoing worldwide rollout of COVID-19 vaccines
will positively influence commercial air travel and benefit the markets we
serve. But, it is difficult to predict the Pandemic's path and effect, including
factors like vaccination rates and new variants, which can impact our key
markets. However, we believe our ongoing conservative policies, strong balance
sheet, and high degree of liquidity enable us to invest in new research and
development, execute on our successful acquisition program, and position HEICO
for market share gains as the industry recovers.
Additionally, our results of operations for the nine and three months ended July
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 Nine Months of Fiscal 2021 to First Nine Months of Fiscal 2020

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 were $1,356.3
million, as compared to net sales of $1,360.8 million in the first nine months
of fiscal 2020. The slight decrease in consolidated net sales principally
reflects a decrease of $64.5 million (a 9% decrease) to $666.7 million in net
sales within the FSG, partially offset by an increase of $67.9 million (an 11%
increase) to a record $706.2 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 a
decline in global commercial air travel attributable to the Pandemic. As a
result, organic net sales of our specialty products, aftermarket replacement
parts, and repair and overhaul parts and services product lines decreased by
$36.2 million, $29.5 million, and $7.4 million, respectively. The net sales
increase in the ETG principally reflects $45.0 million contributed by our fiscal
2020 and 2021 acquisitions as well as organic growth of 2%. The ETG's organic
growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our other electronic and
defense products resulting in net sales increases of $22.5 million and $4.4
million, respectively, partially offset by decreased demand for our commercial
aerospace and space products resulting in net sales decreases of $7.0 million
and $5.5 million, respectively. Sales price changes were not a significant
contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first
nine months of fiscal 2021.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses



Our consolidated gross profit margin increased to 38.6% in the first nine months
of fiscal 2021, up from 38.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The
increase principally reflects that the ETG, with its higher operating margin as
compared to the FSG, contributed a larger proportion of our operating results in
the first nine months of fiscal 2021 relative to the first nine months of fiscal
2020, which was partially offset by a decrease of 1.0% in the ETG's gross profit
margin. The decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects a
less favorable product mix for defense products and a decrease in net sales of
commercial space products, partially offset by an increase in net sales of other
electronic products. Total new product research and development expenses
included within our consolidated cost of sales were $52.2 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2021, up from $49.0 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2020.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$245.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to $232.8
million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The increase in consolidated
SG&A expenses reflects $18.7 million of higher performance-based compensation
expense and $10.8 million attributable to the fiscal 2020 and 2021 acquisitions,
partially offset by a $9.5 million reduction in bad debt expense, a $4.7 million
reduction in other general and administrative expenses and a $3.0 million
reduction in other selling expenses including lower employment-related, travel,
and marketing expenses. The Company recognized higher bad debt expense in the
first nine months of fiscal 2020 due to potential collection difficulties from
certain commercial aviation customers that filed for

bankruptcy protection during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as a result of the Pandemic's financial impact.



  Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 18.1% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to 17.1% in the first nine months
of fiscal 2020. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of
net sales principally reflects a 1.4% impact from higher performance-based
compensation expense, partially offset by a .7% decrease from lower bad debt
expense.

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income decreased by 3% to $277.9 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to $287.6 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2020. The decrease in consolidated operating income principally
reflects an $18.2 million decrease (a 15% decrease) to $103.4 million in
operating income of the FSG, partially offset by a $15.5 million increase (an 8%
increase) to a record $200.4 million in operating income of the ETG. The
decrease in operating income of the FSG principally reflects the previously
mentioned decrease in net sales, a $12.7 million increase from higher
performance-based compensation expense, and the impact from fixed cost
inefficiencies stemming from the Pandemic, partially offset by a $9.7 million
decrease in bad debt expense. The increase in operating income of the ETG
principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially offset
by the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin. Further, the decrease in
consolidated operating income reflects $5.4 million of higher corporate expenses
mainly attributable to an increase in performance-based compensation expense.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales was 20.5% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to 21.1% in the first nine months
of fiscal 2020. The decrease principally reflects a decrease in the FSG's
operating income as a percentage of net sales to 15.5% in the first nine months
of fiscal 2021, as compared to 16.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and
a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 28.4%
in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to 29.0% in the first nine
months of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the FSG's operating income as a
percentage of net sales reflects a 1.1% increase in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned higher
performance-based compensation expense and fixed cost inefficiencies, partially
offset by the previously mentioned lower bad debt expense. The decrease in the
ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the
previously mentioned lower gross profit margin.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $6.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, down from $10.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The decrease was principally due to a lower weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Other Income

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

Income Tax Expense



Our effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was 13.3%, as
compared to 3.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. We 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. Additionally, our effective tax
rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 reflects the favorable impact of
higher tax-exempt unrealized gains in the cash surrender values of life
insurance policies related to the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan
("HEICO LCP").

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 $18.2
million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to $16.6 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The increase in net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 principally
reflects higher allocations of net income to noncontrolling interests as a
result of certain fiscal 2020 acquisitions and an increase in the operating
results of certain subsidiaries of the ETG in which noncontrolling interests are
held, partially offset by a decrease in the 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 $218.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share,
in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to $251.7 million, or $1.83
per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, principally
reflecting the previously mentioned higher income tax expense and lower
operating income of the FSG, partially offset by the previously mentioned higher
operating income of the ETG.

Comparison of Third Quarter of Fiscal 2021 to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020

Net Sales



Our consolidated net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by 22%
to $471.7 million, up from net sales of $386.4 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2020. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an
increase of $59.0 million (a 33% increase) to $237.1 million in net sales within
the FSG and an increase of $28.6 million (a 14% increase) to $239.5 million in
net sales within the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG is principally
organic and reflects increased demand for the majority of our commercial
aerospace products and services resulting from some recovery in global
commercial air travel as compared to the prior year. As a result, organic net
sales of the FSG's aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and
services, and specialty products product lines increased by $33.2 million, $21.4
million, and $3.2 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG
principally reflects $16.8 million contributed by our fiscal 2020 and 2021
acquisitions as well as organic growth of 5%. The ETG's organic growth is mainly
attributable to increased demand for our other electronic, defense, medical, and
commercial aerospace products resulting in net sales increases of $9.5 million,
$5.1 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a
$9.1 million decrease in net sales of commercial space products. Sales price
changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of
the FSG and ETG in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses



Our consolidated gross profit margin improved to 39.2% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2021, up from 37.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase
principally reflects a 6.1% improvement in the FSG's gross profit margin,
partially offset by a .6% decrease in the ETG's gross profit margin. The
increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously
mentioned increased demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products
resulting in increased net sales in our aftermarket replacement parts and repair
and overhaul parts and services product lines. The decrease in the ETG's gross
profit margin principally reflects a decrease in net sales of commercial space
products, partially offset by an increase in net sales of certain other
electronic, defense, and commercial aerospace products. Total new product
research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales
were $18.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $15.1 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses were $83.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2021, as compared to $75.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The
increase in consolidated SG&A expenses reflects a $7.0 million increase in
performance-based compensation expense, a $4.4 million increase in other general
and administrative expenses, $3.1 million attributable to the fiscal 2020 and
2021 acquisitions and a $2.5 million increase in other selling expenses,
partially offset by an $8.1 million reduction in bad debt expense. The Company
recognized higher bad debt expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 due to
potential collection difficulties

from certain commercial aviation customers that filed for bankruptcy protection
during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as a result of the Pandemic's financial
impact.

  Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.8%
in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, down from 19.4% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2020. The decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net
sales principally reflects a 2.1% impact from lower bad debt expense as well as
efficiencies gained from the previously mentioned net sales growth, partially
offset by a 1.3% impact from higher performance-based compensation expense.

Operating Income



  Our consolidated operating income increased by 47% to $100.8 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $68.4 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2020. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects
a $30.0 million increase (a 250% increase) to $42.1 million in operating income
of the FSG and a $7.1 million increase (an 11% increase) to $69.0 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, as well as an $8.4 million decrease in bad debt expense.
The increase in operating income of the ETG principally reflects the previously
mentioned net sales growth, partially offset by the previously mentioned lower
gross profit margin. Further, the increase in consolidated operating income was
partially offset by $4.1 million of higher corporate expenses mainly
attributable to an increase in performance-based compensation expense.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to
21.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, up from 17.7% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2020. The increase principally reflects an increase in the FSG's
operating income as a percentage of net sales to 17.7% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2021, up from 6.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, partially offset
by a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to
28.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 29.4% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a
percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned increase
in net sales and improved gross profit margin, as well as a 4.7% impact from the
previously mentioned decrease in bad debt expense. The decrease in the ETG's
operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the previously mentioned
lower gross profit margin.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $1.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021,
down from $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease was
principally due to a lower weighted average balance of borrowings outstanding
under our revolving credit facility.

Other Income

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

Income Tax Expense



  Our effective tax rate was 15.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as
compared to 13.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase principally
reflects the fact that the third quarter of fiscal 2020 reflected a larger
deduction related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") principally
resulting from the final tax regulations issued during that quarter as part of
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted in December 2017.

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 $6.8
million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to $3.2 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 principally
reflects an increase in the operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG
and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held as well as higher allocations
of net income to noncontrolling interests as a result of certain fiscal 2020
acquisitions.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO



Net income attributable to HEICO increased by 42% to $76.9 million, or $.56 per
diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, up from $54.3 million, or
$.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, principally
reflecting the previously mentioned higher operating income of the FSG and ETG.

Outlook



Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2021 and to fiscal 2022, we remain
cautiously optimistic that the ongoing worldwide rollout of COVID-19 vaccines
will positively influence commercial air travel and benefit the markets we
serve. But, it is difficult to predict the Pandemic's path and effect, including
factors like vaccination rates and new variants, which can impact our key
markets. Therefore, we feel it would not be responsible to provide fiscal 2021
net sales and earnings guidance at this time. However, we believe our ongoing
conservative policies, strong balance sheet, and high degree of liquidity enable
us to invest in new research and development, execute on our successful
acquisition program, and position HEICO for market share gains as the industry
recovers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash
dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs.
We now anticipate fiscal 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately $35-$38
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 July 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total
debt to shareholders' equity ratio was 17.4%.

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 $334.1 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2021 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated
operations of $236.4 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $68.8
million (a non-cash item), a $16.8 million decrease in working capital, net
changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO LCP of
$12.2 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions),
$7.4 million in employer contributions to the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan
(a non-cash item), and $6.4 million in share-based compensation expense (a
non-cash item), partially offset by a $17.0 million deferred income tax benefit.
The decrease in net working capital reflects a $12.5 million increase in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities as a result of higher accrued
performance-based compensation, as well as a $4.2 million increase in trade
accounts payable resulting from the timing of payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $35.1 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2021, up from $299.0 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2020. The increase is principally attributable to a $71.2
million decrease in net working capital and a $3.6 million increase in
depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $31.9 million
decrease in net income from consolidated operations and a $7.6 million increase
in deferred income tax benefits. The decrease in net working capital primarily
resulted from the payment of a smaller amount of accrued performance-based
compensation expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 resulting from the
lower fiscal 2020 operating results mainly attributable to the Pandemic, a
decrease in inventory during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to
the significant inventory growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as a
result of certain inventory purchase commitments based on pre-Pandemic net sales
expectations and to support the backlog of certain of our business, and an
increase in trade accounts payable resulting from the timing of payments,
partially offset by a net increase in accounts receivable and contract assets
resulting from the timing of collections and customer billings.

Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities totaled $68.9 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2021 and related primarily to capital expenditures of $30.1
million, acquisitions of $29.6 million (net of cash acquired), and investments
related to the HEICO LCP of $12.4 million.

Financing Activities



Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2021
totaled $403.2 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we made
$355.0 million in payments on our revolving credit facility, paid $23.0 million
in cash dividends on our common stock, made $21.9 million of distributions to
noncontrolling interests, redeemed common stock related to stock option
exercises aggregating $3.7 million, paid $2.3 million to acquire certain
noncontrolling interests, and paid revolving credit facility issuance costs of
$1.5 million, which were partially offset by $4.5 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 July 31, 2021, we have arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating $16.6 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.

could cause such differences include: the severity, magnitude and duration of
the Pandemic; our liquidity and the amount and timing of cash generation; lower
commercial air travel caused by the Pandemic and its aftermath, 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; 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,
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; 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.
