ACQUISITIONS

Reinhold Acquisition
    
On May 31, 2013, the Company, through its HEICO Flight Support Corp. subsidiary, acquired Reinhold Industries, Inc. ("Reinhold") through the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Reinhold's parent company for approximately $133.0 million, net of $8.0 million of cash acquired, in a transaction carried out by means of a merger. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, principally using proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility. Reinhold is a leading manufacturer of advanced niche components and complex composite assemblies for commercial aviation, defense and space applications. This acquisition is consistent with HEICO’s practice of acquiring outstanding, niche designers and manufacturers of critical components in the aerospace and defense industries and will further enable the Company to broaden its product offerings, technologies and customer base.
 
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of Reinhold to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Assets acquired:

The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. The primary items that generated the goodwill recognized were the premiums paid by the Company for the future earnings potential of Reinhold and the value of its assembled workforce that do not qualify for separate recognition. The operating results of Reinhold were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The Company’s consolidated net sales and net income attributable to HEICO for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2013, includes approximately $12.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from the acquisition of Reinhold.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2012 as if the acquisition of Reinhold had occurred as of November 1, 2011 (in thousands):
 
Nine months ended
 
Three months ended
 
July 31, 2012
 
July 31, 2012
Net sales

$695,641

 

$240,940

Net income from consolidated operations

$79,579

 

$29,963

Net income attributable to HEICO

$63,563

 

$24,414

Net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders:
 
 
 
Basic

$1.21

 

$.46

Diluted

$1.19

 

$.46


The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place as of November 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to historical amounts such as additional amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, increased interest expense associated with borrowings to finance the acquisition and inventory purchase accounting adjustments charged to cost of sales as the inventory is sold. Had the acquisition been consummated as of November 1, 2011, net sales, net income from consolidated operations, net income attributable to HEICO, and basic and diluted net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders on a pro forma basis for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2013 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

Additional Purchase Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements related to certain fiscal 2012 acquisitions, the Company was obligated to pay additional purchase consideration representing the difference between the actual net assets of the acquired entity as of the acquisition date and the amount estimated in the purchase agreement. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company paid $1.2 million of such additional purchase consideration, which was accrued as of October 31, 2012.
