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, 2022. The October 31, 2022 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 six months ended

April 30, 2023 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. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Although the Company has largely emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, HEICO’s results of operations in fiscal 2023 continue to reflect some of the pandemic’s lingering effects, including its impact on the Company's supply chain. Despite the aforementioned, the Company experienced continued improvement in operating results in the first six months and second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first six months and second quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflecting improved demand for its commercial aerospace products and services. The FSG has reported eleven consecutive quarters of sequential growth in net sales and operating income resulting from commercial air travel recovery in certain domestic travel markets, moderated by a slower recovery in international travel markets.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the

acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
