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, ~~2017.~~2018. The October 31, ~~2017~~2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries.

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

Stock ~~Splits~~Split

In March 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 5-for-4 stock split on both classes of the Company's common stock. The stock split was effected as of April 19, 2017 in the form of a 25% stock dividend distributed to shareholders of record as of April 7, 2017. In December 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 5-for-4 stock split on both classes of the Company's common stock. The stock split was effected as of January 18, 2018 in the form of a 25% stock dividend distributed to shareholders of record as of January 3, 2018. All applicable fiscal 2018 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to ~~give effect to the~~reflect a 5-for-4 stock ~~splits.~~split effected in June 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Index

new revenue recognition model that ~~will supersede~~supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ~~ASU 2014-09,~~ASC 606, an entity ~~will recognize~~recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional ~~disclosure~~disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ~~ASU 2014-09,~~

The Company adopted ASC 606 as ~~amended, is effective for fiscal years~~of November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, or in fiscal 2019 for HEICO. Early adoption in the year preceding the effective date is permitted. ASU 2014-09 shall be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively withrecognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ~~ASU 2014-09 recognized at~~ASC 606 to all uncompleted contracts on the date of ~~initial application.~~adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The ~~Company is currently evaluating~~comparative information has not been restated and remains as previously reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition."

ASC 606 impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts under which ~~transition method it will elect. In addition,~~ the Company ~~is currently identifying its various~~produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. ASC 606 also impacts the timing of revenue ~~streams~~recognition for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances customer-owned assets while performing repair and ~~reviewing certain underlying customer~~overhaul services. For these two types of contracts, the Company now recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model as opposed to ~~determine~~generally recognizing revenue at the ~~effect~~time of shipment under previous guidance. See Note 6, Revenue, for additional information regarding the ~~adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position~~Company's revenue recognition policies and ~~cash flows.~~disclosures required by ASC 606.

~~In July 2015,~~The following table presents the ~~FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement~~cumulative effect of Inventory,” which requires entities to measure inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Previously, inventories were measured at the lower of cost or market. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in no material effectadopting ASC 606 on the Company's ~~consolidated results~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~operations, financial position or cash flows.~~November 1, 2018 (in thousands):

The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was not material for the six and three months ended April 30, 2019.

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

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, or in fiscal 2019 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-15 requires a retrospective transition approach for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

~~Index~~

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

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

2. ~~ACQUISITION~~ACQUISITIONS

In February 2019, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Flight Support Corp., acquired 80.1% of the membership interests of Decavo, LLC ("Decavo").

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

Index

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

6. REVENUE

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

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

Index

Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations

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

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

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

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

Contract Estimates

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

Certain of the Company’s contracts give rise to variable consideration when they contain items such as customer rebates, credits, volume purchase discounts, penalties and other provisions that may impact the total consideration the Company will receive. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price generally by applying the most likely amount method of the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive based on an assessment of all available information (i.e., historical experience, current and forecasted performance) and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue

Index

recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration by applying the most likely amount method when there are a limited number of outcomes related to the resolution of the variable consideration.

Changes in estimates that result in adjustments to net sales and cost of sales are recognized as necessary in the period they become known on a cumulative catch-up basis. Changes in estimates did not have a material effect on net income from consolidated operations for the six and three months ended April 30, 2019.

Practical Expedients and Optional Exemptions

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

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

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

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

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

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

Index

Contract Balances

Contract assets (unbilled receivables) represent revenue recognized on contracts using an over-time recognition model in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) represent customer advances and billings in excess of revenue recognized and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company’s contract assets and liabilities consists of the following (in thousands):



	April 30, 2019		November 1, 2018		Change

Contract assets		$48,968		$54,272		($5,304	)
Contract liabilities	24,427		19,674		4,753
Net contract assets		$24,541		$34,598		($10,057	)

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

The increase in the Company's contract liabilities during the first six months of fiscal 2019 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects the receipts 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 six and three months ended April 30, 2019 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2019 was $12.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of April 30, 2019, the Company had $344.4 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 and the FSG's aftermarket replacement parts and specialty products product line. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $114.3 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2019 and $230.1 million thereafter, of which the majority is expected to occur in fiscal 2020.

6.7. INCOME TAXES

OnIn December ~~22,~~ 2017, the United States ~~(U.S.~~("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act contains significant changes to ~~existing~~previous tax law, some of which became immediately effective in fiscal 2018 including, among other things, a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and the implementation of a territorial tax system resulting in a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. ~~The~~Certain other provisions of the Tax Act ~~also contains additional provisions that will become~~became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), a new deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction and increased limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The ~~Company has not yet determined the impact of the~~ provisions of the Tax Act ~~which do not become~~that became effective ~~for HEICO until fiscal 2019.~~

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. This guidance provides companies with a measurement period not to exceed one year from the enactment of the Tax Act to complete their accounting for the related tax effects. SAB 118 further states that during the measurement period, companies who are able to make reasonable estimates of the tax effects of the Tax Act should include those amounts in their financial statements as provisional amounts and reflect any adjustments in subsequent periods as they refine their estimates or complete their accounting of such tax effects.

As a result of the Tax Act, the Company has revised its estimated annual effective federal statutory income tax rate to reflect a reduction in the rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, which results in a blended rate of 23.3% for HEICO in fiscal 2019 did not have a material effect on the Company's income tax expense for the six and three months ended April 30, 2019.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first six months of fiscal 2019 was 14.5% as compared to 14.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2018. ~~Additionally,~~Income tax expense in both the first six months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted as a result of discrete tax benefits. The tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2019 increased by $14.5 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2018. During the first six months of fiscal 2018, the Company ~~remeasured~~recognized a discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities ~~and recorded~~that was partially offset by a ~~provisional~~ discrete tax ~~benefit of $16.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Further, the Company recorded a provisional discrete tax~~ expense ~~of $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018~~ related to a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of ~~the Company's~~its foreign ~~subsidiaries.

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

million as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and $~~122.9~~132.7 million as of October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, of which the LCP related assets were ~~$131.6~~$148.4 million and $~~117.2~~126.8 million as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The related liabilities of the two deferred compensation plans are included within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of ~~$136.5~~$148.5 million as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and $~~121.7~~131.7 million as of October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, of which the LCP related liability was ~~$130.3~~$147.2 million and $~~116.0~~125.8 million as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2019, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $6.4 million in fiscal 2022 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the second and third years following the acquisition. As of April 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.1 million.

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 ~~objectives~~objective during the first six years following the acquisition. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was ~~$13.2~~$15.8 million. The increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration as of April 30, 2019 as compared to the $13.9 million accrued as of October 31, 2018 is principally attributable to higher than originally estimated earnings of the acquired entity during the earnout period.

As part of the agreement to acquire certain assets of a company by the ETG in fiscal 2016, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to ~~$1.7~~$1.4 million in aggregate during the first ~~four~~three years following the ~~first~~second anniversary of the ~~acquisition.~~acquisition should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during this same time period. During fiscal ~~2018,~~2019, the Company paid $.3 million of contingent consideration based on the actual financial performance of the acquired entity during the ~~second~~third year following the acquisition. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was ~~$1.1~~$.9 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2015, the Company ~~may be~~is obligated to pay contingent consideration of ~~up to~~ €6.1 million, ~~per year,~~ or ~~€12.2~~$6.8 million, ~~in aggregate, should~~based on the actual operating results of the acquired entity ~~meet certain earnings objectives~~ during ~~each of~~ the ~~first two years~~fourth year following the ~~second anniversary~~acquisition, which was paid during the third quarter of the acquisition.

The ~~decrease~~increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration ~~is principally attributed~~as of April 30, 2019 as compared to ~~revised~~the €5.1 million, or $5.8 million, accrued as of October 31, 2018 was based on the higher actual than anticipated earnings ~~estimates for the second year~~ of the ~~earnout period that reflect less favorable projected market conditions.~~

acquired entity.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements described above are classified within Level 3 and were determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. Under this method, a set of discrete potential future subsidiary earnings was determined using internal estimates based on various revenue growth rate assumptions for each scenario. A probability of likelihood was assigned to each discrete potential future earnings estimate and the resultant contingent consideration was calculated. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a weighted average discount rate reflecting the credit risk of HEICO. Changes in either the revenue growth rates, related

earnings or the discount rate could result in a material change to the amount of contingent consideration accrued and such changes will be recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

~~Index~~

The Level 3 inputs used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 were as follows:



	Fiscal 2019 Acquisition				Fiscal 2017 Acquisition				Fiscal 2016 Acquisition

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rates.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Based upon the Company’s and its legal counsel’s evaluations of any claims or assessments, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

~~11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT~~

In February 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired 85% of the assets and business of Sensor Technology Engineering, Inc. ("Sensor Technology"). Sensor Technology designs and manufactures sophisticated nuclear radiation detectors for law enforcement, homeland security and military applications. The remaining 15% continues to be owned by certain members of Sensory Technology's management team. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, principally using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and the total consideration for the acquisition is not material or significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, ~~2017.~~2018. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019 other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, which, as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 principally impacts the timing of revenue recognition for two types of our customer contracts. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 6, Revenue, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our business is comprised of two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Our results of operations for the six and three months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 have been affected by the ~~Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as further detailed within~~ ~~Income Tax Expense~~ ~~of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this quarterly report for the period ended January 31, 2018 and by the~~ fiscal ~~2017~~2019 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of ~~our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017.~~this quarterly report.

All applicable fiscal 2018 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock ~~splits~~split effected in ~~April 2017 and January~~June 2018. ~~See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Stock Splits, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these stock splits.~~

Comparison of First ~~Quarter~~Six Months of Fiscal ~~2018~~2019 to First ~~Quarter~~Six Months of Fiscal ~~2017~~2018

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2019 increased by 18% to ~~$404.4~~a record $981.8 million, ~~as compared to~~up from net sales of ~~$343.4~~$835.0 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2017.~~2018.

The net sales increase in the FSG principally reflects ~~net sales of $25.5 million contributed by our fiscal 2017 acquisitions as well as~~ organic growth of 4%14%. The FSG's organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand and new product offerings within our aftermarket replacement parts and ~~repair and overhaul parts and services~~specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of ~~$7.3~~$52.9 million and ~~$3.0~~$18.9 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of $2.0 million within our specialty products product line principally related to certain defense products. Excluding the net sales decrease in our specialty products product line, the FSG experienced organic growth of 6%, principally in our aftermarket replacement parts product line. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the ETG and FSG net sales growth in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 increased by 20% to a record $515.6 million, up from net sales of $430.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $45.7 million (a 27% increase) to a record $214.5 million in net sales within the ETG as well as an increase of $40.4 million (a 15% increase) to a record $308.3 million in net sales within the FSG.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses were $90.2 million and $76.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $5.4 million of higher performance-based compensation expense, $3.9 million attributable to the fiscal 2019 and 2018 acquisitions, and $1.6 million attributable to changes in the estimated fair value of accrued contingent consideration. Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, down from 17.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal ~~2018,~~2019, we anticipate net sales growth within the FSG's commercial aviation and defense product lines. We also expect growth within the ETG, principally driven by demand for the majority of our products. Also, we ~~will~~plan to continue our commitments to developing new products and services, further market penetration, and an aggressive acquisition strategy while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility. Based on our current economic visibility, we ~~are increasing~~now estimate our ~~estimated~~ consolidated fiscal ~~2018~~2019 year-over-year growth in net sales to be 12% - ~~14%~~13% and in net income to ~~30%~~be 17% - ~~32%~~18%, ~~up from~~as compared to our prior growth estimates in net sales of 9% - 10% and in net income of ~~10%~~approximately 11% - ~~12%~~13%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. Capital expenditures in fiscal ~~2018~~2019 are now anticipated to be approximately ~~$50~~$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 ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was ~~50.3%~~33.5%.

In November 2017, we entered into a new $1.3 billion revolving credit facility agreement, which matures in November 2022 and replaced our previous revolving credit agreement. Additional information about the new and previous revolving credit agreements may be found in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading, "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017.

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 ~~$45.0~~$178.3 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2019 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of ~~$71.7~~$178.1 million, ~~and~~ depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$19.0~~$40.5 million (a non-cash item), net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan ("LCP") of $10.6 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), $5.0 million in share-based compensation expense (a non-cash item) and $4.6 million in employer contributions to the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan (a non-cash item), partially offset by a ~~$29.8~~$62.2 million increase in working ~~capital and a deferred income tax benefit of $17.3 million.~~

The increase in working capital is inclusive of ~~an $18.5~~a $26.7 million increase in inventories to support the growth of our businesses and backlog, a $16.6 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly ~~reflecting~~due to a timing difference between the accrual and payment of ~~fiscal 2017 accrued~~ performance-based compensation, and ~~an $18.3~~a $15.8 million increase in ~~inventory to support anticipated higher demand during~~accounts receivable reflecting the ~~remainder~~strong organic net sales growth in each of our operating segments.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $74.9 million in the first six months of fiscal ~~2018, partially offset by~~2019 from $103.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2018.

The increase in net working capital primarily resulted from the timing associated with the collection of accounts receivable and payment of trade accounts payable as well as the aforementioned increase in inventories.2018.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled ~~$16.5~~$157.7 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2019 and related primarily to acquisitions of $134.9 million (net of cash acquired), capital expenditures of ~~$7.6~~$12.6 million ~~as well as acquisitions, net~~and investments related to the HEICO LCP of ~~cash acquired of $6.1~~$10.8 million.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements~~

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, or in fiscal 2019 for HEICO. Early adoption in the year preceding the effective date is permitted. ASU 2014-09 shall be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating which transition method we will elect. In addition, we are currently identifying our various revenue streams and reviewing certain underlying customer contracts to determine the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which requires entities to measure inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Previously, inventories were measured at the lower of cost or market. We adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in no material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, or in fiscal 2019 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-15 requires a retrospective transition approach for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
