Consolidated Results

Eric A. Mendelson and Victor H. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers, commented on the Company's second quarter results stating, "Reporting yet another period of record results, HEICO's record quarterly net income, operating income and net sales were driven by 18% consolidated organic net sales growth and contributions by our profitable fiscal 2026 and 2025 acquisitions.

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 43% to $292.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $204.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. We continue to forecast strong cash flow from operations for fiscal 2026.

Our total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio was 3.28x as of April 30, 2026, as compared to 3.14x as of October 31, 2025. Our net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.74x as of April 30, 2026, as compared to 1.60x as of October 31, 2025. The increase in our leverage ratios in the first six months of fiscal 2026 is a result of our successful completion of four acquisitions, two by the Flight Support Group and two by the Electronic Technologies Group. See our reconciliation of total debt to net debt at the end of this press release.

For the remainder of fiscal 2026, we expect increased net sales at both the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group supported by underlying demand for our products and contributions from recent acquisitions. We intend to continue evaluating acquisition opportunities that are consistent with our strategic objectives. Our capital allocation approach remains opportunistic, focused on balancing organic growth with accretive acquisitions while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility."

Flight Support Group

The Flight Support Group achieved record quarterly net sales and operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, with net sales and operating income increasing 21% and 31%, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. These results reflect strong double-digit organic net sales growth across all of the Flight Support Group's product lines, as well as the contributions from our fiscal 2026 acquisitions.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 21% to a record $929.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $767.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The net sales increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 resulted from strong organic growth of 19%, as well as the impact from our fiscal 2026 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 reflects increased demand across all of our product lines.

The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 18% to a record $1,749.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from $1,480.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The net sales increase in the first six months of fiscal 2026 resulted from robust

organic growth of 16%, as well as the impact from our fiscal 2025 and 2026 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth in the first six months of fiscal 2026 reflects increased demand across all of our product lines.

The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 31% to a record $243.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $185.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 26% to a record $443.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from $351.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The operating income increase in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, and an improved gross profit margin. The improved gross profit margin in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 was principally driven by a more favorable product mix and higher net sales volumes within our aftermarket replacement parts product line.

The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 26.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from 24.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 25.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from 23.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The operating margin increase in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 reflects decreased SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned SG&A expense efficiencies, and the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.

Electronic Technologies Group

The Electronic Technologies Group achieved record quarterly net sales and operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, with net sales and operating income improving 34% and 56%, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. These exceptional results principally resulted from strong organic net sales growth and contributions from our fiscal 2026 and 2025 acquisitions, driven by broad-based improved demand for most of the Electronic Technologies Group's products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 34% to a record $459.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $342.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The net sales increase reflects strong organic growth of 17% and the impact from our fiscal 2026 and 2025 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our other electronics, defense, aerospace, and space products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 23% to a record $830.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from $672.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The net sales increase came from strong organic growth of 12% and the impact from our fiscal 2025 and 2026 acquisitions. The organic net sales growth is

mainly attributable to increased demand for our other electronics, aerospace, and defense products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 56% to a record $121.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from $77.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, an improved gross profit margin, and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth. The improved gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales and a more favorable product mix of our aerospace products.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income increased 26% to a record $195.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from $154.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The operating income increase principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and SG&A expense efficiencies realized from the net sales growth.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 26.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from 22.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The operating margin increase reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin and decreased SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned SG&A expense efficiencies.

The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin improved to 23.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2026, up from 23.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The increased operating margin principally resulted from decreased SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned SG&A expense efficiencies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide additional information about the Company's results, HEICO has discussed in this press release its EBITDA (calculated as net income attributable to HEICO adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense and income tax expense), its net debt (calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents), and its net debt to EBITDA ratio (calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA), which are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

These non-GAAP measures are included to supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of its business and believes the presentation of these measures enhance an investor's ability to analyze trends in the Company's business and to evaluate the Company's performance relative to other companies in its industry. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations and

should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.

(NOTE: HEICO has two classes of common stock traded on the NYSE. Both classes, the Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) and the Common Stock (HEI), are virtually identical in all economic respects. The only difference between the share classes is the voting rights. The Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) carries 1/10 vote per share and the Common Stock (HEI) carries one vote per share.)
