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. The October 31, 2017 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, 2018 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.

Stock Splits

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 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the 5-for-4 stock splits.

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. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will elect. In addition, the Company is currently identifying its various revenue streams and reviewing certain underlying customer contracts to determine the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its 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. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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 a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. 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.

8

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

In November 2017, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired all the stock of Interface Displays & Controls, Inc. ("IDC"). IDC designs and manufactures electronic products for aviation, marine, military fighting vehicles, and embedded computing markets. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid using cash provided by operating activities.

The total consideration for the acquisition of IDC is not material or significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related allocation to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the company obtains final information regarding their fair values. The operating results of IDC were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of IDC included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2018 is not material. Had the IDC acquisition been consummated as of November 1, 2016, 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 three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

6.     INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the United States (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 tax law 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 Tax Act also contains additional provisions that will become 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 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 2018. Additionally, the Company remeasured its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and recorded 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 foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to pay this tax over the eight-year period allowed for in the Tax Act.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased to 4.7% from 26.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease principally reflects the previously mentioned discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of the Company’s U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and the benefit of a lower federal statutory income tax rate, which were partially offset by the aforementioned one-time transition tax expense.

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

15

classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $137.8 million as of January 31, 2018 and $122.9 million as of October 31, 2017, of which the LCP related assets were $131.6 million and $117.2 million as of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, 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 million as of January 31, 2018 and $121.7 million as of October 31, 2017, of which the LCP related liability was $130.3 million and $116.0 million as of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively.

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 certain earnings objectives during the first six years following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $13.2 million.

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 million in aggregate during the first four years following the first anniversary of the acquisition. During fiscal 2018, the Company paid $.3 million of contingent consideration based on the actual financial performance of the acquired entity during the second year following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $1.1 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2015, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to €6.1 million per year, or €12.2 million in aggregate, should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during each of the first two years following the second anniversary of the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was €8.6 million, or $10.7 million, as compared to €10.8 million, or $12.6 million, as of October 31, 2017. The decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration is principally attributed to revised earnings estimates for the second year of the earnout period that reflect less favorable projected market conditions.

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.

16

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

	Fiscal 2017 Acquisition				Fiscal 2016 Acquisition				Fiscal 2015 Acquisition
Compound annual revenue growth rate range	(8	%)	-	4%	4	%	-	12%	9	%	-	13%
Weighted average discount rate	5.5%				4.7%				.8%

Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of October 31, 2017		$27,573
Decrease in accrued contingent consideration	(3,195		)
Payment of contingent consideration	(300		)
Foreign currency transaction adjustments	853
Balance as of January 31, 2018		$24,931
Included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the following captions:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$7,262
Other long-term liabilities	17,669
		$24,931

The Company recorded the decrease in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments set forth in the table above within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three months ended January 31, 2018.

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 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.

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. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2018.

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 three months ended January 31, 2018 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 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, 2017.

All share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect 5-for-4 stock splits effected in April 2017 and January 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 of Fiscal 2018 to First Quarter of Fiscal 2017

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased by 18% to $404.4 million, as compared to net sales of $343.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $29.5 million (a 23% increase) to $155.7 million in net sales within the ETG as well as an increase of $33.8 million (a 15% increase) to $254.7 million in net sales within the FSG. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects $19.8 million of aggregate net sales contributed by a fiscal 2017 and a fiscal 2018 acquisition, and organic growth of 6%. The ETG's organic growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for our space and defense products resulting in net sales increases of $4.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects net sales of $25.5 million contributed by our fiscal 2017 acquisitions as well as organic growth of 4%. 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 product lines, resulting in net sales increases of $7.3 million and $3.0 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 of fiscal 2018.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin increased to 38.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from 36.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, principally reflecting an increase of 3.9% in the ETG's gross profit margin. The increase in the ETG’s gross profit margin is principally attributable to increased net sales and a more favorable product mix for certain of our defense products partially offset by a less favorable product mix for certain of our space products. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to $11.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $75.2 million and $60.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects $8.9 million attributable to the fiscal 2017 and 2018 acquisitions and $2.2 million of higher performance-based compensation expense.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 18.6% and 17.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a .3% impact from higher performance-based compensation expense and a .3% impact from an increase in intangible asset amortization expense mainly resulting from our fiscal 2017 acquisitions.

23

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 23% to $79.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from $64.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in consolidated operating income reflects a $14.1 million increase (a 49% increase) to $43.2 million in operating income of the ETG as well as a $4.5 million increase (an 11% increase) to $45.9 million in operating income of the FSG. The increase in operating income of the ETG mainly reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth and improved gross profit margin. The increase in operating income of the FSG is principally attributed to the previously mentioned net sales growth partially offset by $1.0 million of higher performance-based compensation expense and a $.8 million increase in intangible asset amortization expense mainly resulting from the fiscal 2017 acquisitions. Additionally, our corporate expenses increased by $2.9 million principally due to a $1.7 million increase in accrued performance-based compensation expense and higher operating costs in support of the overall growth of our business.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 19.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from 18.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase principally reflects an increase in the ETG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 27.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from 23.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, partially offset by a decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 18.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 from 18.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in the ETG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin. The decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a .4% and .3% impact from the previously mentioned higher performance-based compensation expense and increase in intangible amortization expense, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was principally due to higher interest rates as well as a higher weighted average balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility associated with our fiscal 2017 acquisitions.

Other Income

Other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

On December 22, 2017, the United States (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 tax law 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 our foreign

24

subsidiaries. The Tax Act also contains additional provisions that will become 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. We have not yet determined the impact of the provisions of the Tax Act which do not become 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, we have revised our 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 2018. Additionally, we remeasured our U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and recorded a provisional discrete tax benefit of $16.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Further, we 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 our foreign subsidiaries. We intend to pay this tax over the eight-year period allowed for in the Tax Act.

Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased to 4.7% from 26.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease principally reflects the previously mentioned discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of our U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and the benefit of a lower federal statutory income tax rate, which were partially offset by the aforementioned one-time transition tax expense.

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 $6.5 million in first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 principally reflects the impact of the Tax Act as well as improved operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held.

25

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased to a record $65.2 million, or $.60 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up from $40.9 million, or $.38 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 principally reflecting the previously mentioned decrease in our effective tax rate and increased net sales and operating income.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2018, 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 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 our estimated consolidated fiscal 2018 year-over-year growth in net sales to 12% - 14% and net income to 30% - 32%, up from prior growth estimates in net sales and net income of 10% - 12%.

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 are anticipated to be approximately $50 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, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of January 31, 2018, our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 50.3%.

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 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $71.7 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $19.0 million (a non-cash item), partially offset by a $29.8 million increase in working capital and a deferred income tax benefit of $17.3 million.

26

The increase in working capital is inclusive of an $18.5 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2017 accrued performance-based compensation and an $18.3 million increase in inventory to support anticipated higher demand during the remainder of fiscal 2018, partially offset by a $4.7 million net impact from decreases in both accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The deferred income tax benefit principally reflects the impact from the remeasurement of our U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 from $56.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease is principally attributable to a $21.3 million increase in net working capital partially offset by higher net income from consolidated operations excluding the non-cash increase of $16.9 million in deferred income tax benefits as a result of the Tax Act. 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.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $16.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and related primarily to capital expenditures of $7.6 million as well as acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $6.1 million. Further details regarding our fiscal 2018 acquisition may be found in Note 2, Acquisition, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 totaled $17.3 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we paid $7.4 million in cash dividends on our common stock, made $5.0 million in payments on our revolving credit facility and incurred $4.1 million in issuance costs associated with our new revolving credit facility.

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, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

As of January 31, 2018, we have arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating $4.3 million, which are supported by our revolving credit facility and pertain to payment guarantees related to potential workers' compensation claims and a facility lease as well as performance guarantees related to customer contracts entered into by certain of our subsidiaries.

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 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 a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on our 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. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

28

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. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature may be forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, phone calls and conference calls, concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. Also, forward-looking statements are based upon management’s estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently available information. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include: lower demand for commercial air travel or 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 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 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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have not been any material changes in our assessment of HEICO’s sensitivity to market risk that was disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that HEICO’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter ended January 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, HEICO's internal control over financial reporting.

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. The October 31, 2017 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, 2018 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.

Stock Splits

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 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the 5-for-4 stock splits.

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. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will elect. In addition, the Company is currently identifying its various revenue streams and reviewing certain underlying customer contracts to determine the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its 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. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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 a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. 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.

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.

Acquisitions [Text Block]

ACQUISITION

In November 2017, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired all the stock of Interface Displays & Controls, Inc. ("IDC"). IDC designs and manufactures electronic products for aviation, marine, military fighting vehicles, and embedded computing markets. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid using cash provided by operating activities.

The total consideration for the acquisition of IDC is not material or significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related allocation to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the company obtains final information regarding their fair values. The operating results of IDC were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of IDC included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2018 is not material. Had the IDC acquisition been consummated as of November 1, 2016, 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 three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the United States (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 tax law 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 Tax Act also contains additional provisions that will become 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 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 2018. Additionally, the Company remeasured its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and recorded 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 foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to pay this tax over the eight-year period allowed for in the Tax Act.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased to 4.7% from 26.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease principally reflects the previously mentioned discrete tax benefit from the remeasurement of the Company’s U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities and the benefit of a lower federal statutory income tax rate, which were partially offset by the aforementioned one-time transition tax expense.

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 classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $137.8 million as of January 31, 2018 and $122.9 million as of October 31, 2017, of which the LCP related assets were $131.6 million and $117.2 million as of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, 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 million as of January 31, 2018 and $121.7 million as of October 31, 2017, of which the LCP related liability was $130.3 million and $116.0 million as of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively.

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 certain earnings objectives during the first six years following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $13.2 million.

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 million in aggregate during the first four years following the first anniversary of the acquisition. During fiscal 2018, the Company paid $.3 million of contingent consideration based on the actual financial performance of the acquired entity during the second year following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $1.1 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2015, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to €6.1 million per year, or €12.2 million in aggregate, should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during each of the first two years following the second anniversary of the acquisition. As of January 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was €8.6 million, or $10.7 million, as compared to €10.8 million, or $12.6 million, as of October 31, 2017. The decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration is principally attributed to revised earnings estimates for the second year of the earnout period that reflect less favorable projected market conditions.

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.

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

	Fiscal 2017 Acquisition				Fiscal 2016 Acquisition				Fiscal 2015 Acquisition
Compound annual revenue growth rate range	(8	%)	-	4%	4	%	-	12%	9	%	-	13%
Weighted average discount rate	5.5%				4.7%				.8%

Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of October 31, 2017		$27,573
Decrease in accrued contingent consideration	(3,195		)
Payment of contingent consideration	(300		)
Foreign currency transaction adjustments	853
Balance as of January 31, 2018		$24,931
Included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the following captions:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$7,262
Other long-term liabilities	17,669
		$24,931

The Company recorded the decrease in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments set forth in the table above within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three months ended January 31, 2018.

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 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block]

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. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will elect. In addition, the Company is currently identifying its various revenue streams and reviewing certain underlying customer contracts to determine the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its 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. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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 a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. 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.

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.
