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, 2009. The
October 31, 2009 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 and statements of cash flows for such interim periods
presented. The results of operations for the six months ended April
30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the entire fiscal year.
Stock Split
In March 2010, 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 27, 2010 in the form
of a 25% stock dividend distributed to shareholders of record as of April 16,
2010. All applicable share and per share information has been
adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the 5-for-4 stock split.
Noncontrolling
Interests
Effective
November 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires the
recognition of certain noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as
minority interests) as a separate component within equity in the consolidated
balance sheet. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests be clearly
identified and presented within the consolidated statement of
operations. The adoption of this new guidance has affected the
presentation of noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements on a retrospective basis. For example, under
this guidance, “Net income from consolidated operations” is comparable to what
was previously presented as “Income before minority interests” and “Net income
attributable to HEICO” is comparable to what was previously presented as “Net
income.” Further, acquisitions of noncontrolling interests are
considered a financing activity under the new accounting guidance and are no
longer presented as an investing activity.
Effective November 1, 2009, the Company
also adopted new accounting guidance that affects the financial statement
classification and measurement of redeemable noncontrolling
interests. As further detailed in Note 15, Commitments and
Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009, the
holders of equity interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have rights
(“Put Rights”) that require the Company to provide cash consideration for their
equity interests (the “Redemption Amount”) at fair value or at a formula that
management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a
multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. The Put Rights
are embedded in the shares owned by the noncontrolling interest holders and are
not freestanding. Previously, the Company recorded such redeemable
noncontrolling interests at historical cost plus an allocation of subsidiary
earnings based on ownership interest, less dividends paid to the noncontrolling
interest holders. Effective November 1, 2009, the Company adjusted
its redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with this new accounting
guidance to the higher of their carrying cost or management’s estimate of the
Redemption Amount with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings and
classified such interests outside of permanent equity. Under this
guidance, subsequent adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable
noncontrolling interests to reflect any changes in the Redemption Amount at the
end of each reporting period will be recorded in the same
manner. Such adjustments to Redemption Amounts based on fair value
will have no effect on net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders
whereas the portion of periodic adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable
noncontrolling interests based solely on a multiple of future earnings that
reflect a redemption amount in excess of fair value will effect net income per
share attributable to HEICO shareholders under the two-class
method.
As a result of adopting the new
accounting guidance for noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling
interests, the Company (i) reclassified approximately $78 million from temporary
equity (previously labeled as “Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries”)
to permanent equity (labeled as “Noncontrolling interests”) pertaining to
noncontrolling interests that do not contain a redemption feature; and (ii)
renamed temporary equity as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” and recorded
an approximately $45 million increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests
with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings in the Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The resulting $57 million of redeemable
noncontrolling interests as of November 1, 2009 represents management’s estimate
of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company would be
required to pay of which approximately $25 million is redeemable at fair value
and approximately $32 million is redeemable based solely on a multiple of future
earnings. The actual Redemption Amount will likely be
different. See Note 12, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for
additional information.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new
guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued additional guidance
which delayed the effective date by one year for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a nonrecurring basis. These nonfinancial assets and
liabilities include items such as goodwill,
other
intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment that are measured at fair
value resulting from impairment, if deemed necessary. The portions of
the new guidance that were delayed were adopted by the Company on a prospective
basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, or November 1, 2009. The
adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance for business combinations that
retains the fundamental requirements of previous guidance that the acquisition
method of accounting (formerly the “purchase accounting” method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. However, the new guidance changes the approach of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant areas, including that
acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling
interests will be valued at fair value as of the acquisition date; in-process
research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived
intangible asset as of the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with
a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition
date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax
uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax
expense. Further, any contingent consideration will be recognized as
a liability at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value
adjustments recorded in operations. Contingent consideration was
previously accounted for as an additional cost of the respective acquired entity
when paid. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective
basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2010 for all business combinations
consummated on or after November 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a
material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06,
“Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” which requires new
disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and more detailed information of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of the beginning of
the second quarter of fiscal 2010, except the additional Level 3
disclosures, which are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010, or as of fiscal 2012 for HEICO. The adoption did not have a
material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.
2. ACQUISITIONS
In February 2010, the Company, through
its HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) subsidiary,
acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of dB
Control. dB Control produces high-power devices used in both defense
and commercial applications. The total consideration for this
acquisition and related allocation to the tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not material or significant to the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The initial
purchase price was paid in cash principally using proceeds from the Company’s
revolving credit facility. A post closing purchase price adjustment
of approximately $1.6 million was accrued as of the acquisition date and is
expected to be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The total
consideration includes an accrual of approximately $1.2 million representing the
fair value of contingent consideration that the Company may be obligated to pay
in fiscal 2013 should dB
Control
meet certain earnings objectives during the second and third years following the
acquisition. The maximum amount of contingent consideration that the
Company could be required to pay is $2.0 million. See Note 7, Fair
Value Measurements, for additional information regarding the Company’s
contingent consideration obligation.
As part of the purchase agreements
associated with certain prior year acquisitions, the Company may be obligated to
pay additional purchase consideration based on the acquired subsidiary meeting
certain earnings objectives following the acquisition. The Company
accrues an estimate of additional purchase consideration when the earnings
objectives are met. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the
Company, through HEICO Electronic, paid $1.9 million of additional purchase
consideration of which $1.8 million was accrued as of October 31,
2009. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company, through
HEICO Electronic, paid $1.0 million and, as of April 30, 2010, accrued $1.3
million of additional purchase consideration related to prior year acquisitions
for which the earnings objectives were met during fiscal 2010. The
aforementioned amounts paid and accrued were based on a multiple of each
applicable subsidiary’s earnings relative to target and were not contingent upon
the former shareholders of the respective acquired entity remaining employed by
the Company or providing future services to the Company. Accordingly,
these amounts represent an additional cost of the respective entity recorded as
additional goodwill. Information regarding additional purchase
consideration related to prior year acquisitions may be found in Note 11,
Commitments and Contingencies.
The
operating results of the Company’s fiscal 2010 acquisition were included in the
Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition
date. The amounts of net sales and earnings of the 2010 acquisition
included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are not
material. The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial
information as if the fiscal 2010 acquisition had occurred as of November 1,
2008 for purposes of the information presented for the six and three months
ended April 30, 2009. Had the fiscal 2010 acquisition been
consummated as of November 1, 2009, 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 six
and three months ended April 30, 2010 would not have been materially different
than the reported amounts. 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, 2008. The unaudited pro forma
financial information includes adjustments to historical amounts such as
additional amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired and
increased interest expense associated with borrowings to finance the
acquisition.

The goodwill acquired pertains to a
current year acquisition and represents the residual value after the allocation
of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed (inclusive of contingent
consideration). The adjustments to goodwill principally represent
additional purchase consideration paid or accrued relating to prior year
acquisitions for which the earnings objectives were met in fiscal
2010. See Note 2, Acquisitions, for additional information regarding
the fiscal 2010 acquisition and additional purchase
consideration. The foreign currency translation adjustment reflects
unrealized translation gains on the goodwill recognized in connection with a
foreign subsidiary.

The
increase in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships, intellectual
property and trade names as of April 30, 2010 compared to October 31, 2009
principally relates to such intangible assets recognized in connection with an
acquisition made during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 (see Note 2,
Acquisitions). The weighted average amortization period of the
customer relationships and intellectual property acquired during fiscal 2010 is
six years.
Amortization expense related to
intangible assets for the six months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was
$3,470,000 and $1,812,000, respectively. Amortization expense related
to intangible assets for the three months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $
1,894,000 and $871,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to
intangible assets for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010 is estimated to be
$7,429,000. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal
years is estimated to be $7,232,000 in fiscal 2011, $6,526,000 in fiscal 2012,
$6,065,000 in fiscal 2013, $5,768,000 in fiscal 2014 and $4,642,000 in fiscal
2015 and $2,662,000 thereafter.

million revolving credit facility was .9%. The revolving credit
facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. As of
April 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all such
covenants.
6. INCOME
TAXES
As of April 30, 2010, the Company’s
liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions
was $3,626,000 of which $3,104,000 would decrease the Company’s income tax
expense and effective income tax rate if the tax benefits were
recognized. A reconciliation of the activity related to the liability
for gross unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended April 30, 2010 is
as follows:
Balance
as of October 31, 2009
|
$ | 3,328,000 | ||
Increases
related to current year tax positions
|
298,000 | |||
Balance
as of April 30, 2010
|
$ | 3,626,000 |
There were no material changes in the
liability for unrecognized tax positions resulting from tax positions taken
during the current or a prior year, settlements with other taxing authorities or
a lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. The accrual of
interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits was not material
for the six months ended April 30, 2010. Further, the Company does
not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change in
the next twelve months.
7. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company performs its fair value
measurements according to accounting guidance that defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. The guidance also establishes a three-level fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The
guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be
classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
|
Level
1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
|
|
Level
2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are
observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly;
or
|
|
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability where there is little
or no market data, requiring management to develop its own
assumptions.
|
The
following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the
Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis:

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. Certain other assets of the LCP represent
investments in publicly-traded equity securities and are classified within Level
1. The assets of the Company’s other deferred compensation plan are
principally invested in publicly-traded mutual funds and equity securities and a
life insurance policy, and the fair values of this plan’s assets are classified
within Level 1 and Level 2, respectively. The assets of both plans
are held within irrevocable trusts and classified within other assets in the
Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 $24,781,000 as of April 30, 2010 and $19,505,000 as
of October 31, 2009.
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company may be
obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $2.0 million in fiscal 2013
should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during the second
and third years following the acquisition. The $1,150,000 fair value
of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was determined using
a discounted cash flow model and probability adjusted internal estimates of the
subsidiary’s future earnings and is classified in Level
3. This
obligation
is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no subsequent changes in the
fair value of this contingent consideration during the period ended April 30,
2010. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration will be
recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
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
April 30, 2010 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.
8. RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Cost of sales for the six months ended
April 30, 2010 and 2009 includes approximately $10.5 million and $9.7 million,
respectively, of new product research and development expenses. Cost of sales
for the three months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 includes approximately $5.4
million and $4.9 million, respectively, of new product research and development
expenses.

respectively, reflect a redemption amount in excess of fair value and therefore
no portion of the adjustments affect basic or diluted net income per share
attributable to HEICO shareholders.

AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
The Company has arranged for a standby
letter of credit for $1.5 million to meet the security requirement of its
insurance company for potential workers’ compensation claims, which is supported
by the Company’s revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2010, one
of the Company’s subsidiaries has guaranteed its performance related to certain
customer contracts through two letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $.7
million, expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which are supported by
the Company’s revolving credit facility. The subsidiary is also a
beneficiary of two letters of credit related to the same contracts.

Additional
Contingent Purchase Consideration
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2007, the Company may be obligated to pay
additional purchase consideration of up to 73 million Canadian dollars in
aggregate, which translates to approximately $73 million U.S. dollars based on
the April 30, 2010 exchange rate, should the subsidiary meet certain earnings
objectives through fiscal 2012.
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company may be obligated to pay
additional purchase consideration of up to approximately $1.3 million in fiscal
2011 and $10.1 million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain
earnings objectives during the second and third years, respectively, following
the acquisition.
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company may be obligated to pay
additional purchase consideration of up to approximately $11.7 million should
the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during the first two years
following the acquisition.
The above referenced additional
contingent purchase consideration will be accrued when the earnings objectives
are met. Such additional contingent purchase consideration is based
on a multiple of earnings above a threshold (subject to a cap in certain cases)
and is not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entities
remaining employed by the Company or
providing
future services to the Company. Accordingly, such consideration will
be recorded as an additional cost of the respective acquired entity when
paid. The aggregate maximum amount of such contingent purchase
consideration that the Company could be required to pay is approximately $96
million payable over future periods beginning in fiscal 2011 through fiscal
2013. Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future
measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the
comparable historical measurement periods, the aggregate amount of such
contingent purchase consideration that the Company would be required to pay is
approximately $12 million. The actual contingent purchase
consideration will likely be different.
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.
12. REDEEMABLE
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
As further detailed in Note 15,
Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009,
the holders of equity interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have
rights (“Put Rights”) that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company
to purchase their equity interests beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal
2018. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or
membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash
consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the “Redemption Amount”) be
at fair value or at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate
fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement
period. As of April 30, 2010, management’s estimate of the aggregate
Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company would be required to pay is
approximately $56 million. The actual Redemption Amount will likely
be different. The portion of the estimated Redemption Amount as of
April 30, 2010 redeemable at fair value is $25 million and the portion
redeemable based solely on a multiple of future earnings is $31
million. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for
more information regarding how the Company accounts for its redeemable
noncontrolling interests in accordance with new accounting guidance adopted as
of the beginning of fiscal 2010 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income for a summary of changes in
redeemable noncontrolling interests for the six months ended April 30, 2010 and
2009.
In April 2010, the Company, through
HEICO Electronic, acquired an additional 3.4% equity interest in one of its
subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to
93.3%. The purchase price of the redeemable noncontrolling interest
acquired was paid using cash provided by operating activities. The
acquisition resulted in a decrease to redeemable noncontrolling interests and
had no effect on HEICO shareholders’ equity.
During the six months ended April 30,
2009, the Company acquired certain redeemable noncontrolling interests and
accounted for the transactions under the accounting guidance in effect at that
time pertaining to step acquisitions. The excess of the purchase
price paid over the carrying amount was allocated principally to goodwill under
such guidance. As previously mentioned, the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income for the six months
ended April 30, 2009 is presented on a retrospective basis to reflect the
adoption of new accounting guidance as of November 1, 2009 pertaining to
redeemable noncontrolling interests, which resulted in an increase to redeemable
noncontrolling interests and a decrease to retained earnings. The
subsequent acquisition of certain redeemable noncontrolling interests on a
retrospective basis results in a reversal of any previously recorded decrease to
retained earnings related to such redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded
as part of the adoption of this new accounting guidance.
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, some
of 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, 2009.
Our business is comprised of two
operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of
HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. (“HEICO Aerospace”) and its subsidiaries, and the
Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic
Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries.
Our results of operations for the six
months and three months ended April 30, 2010 have been affected by certain
fiscal 2010 and 2009 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions,
of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly
report and of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009.
All per share information has been
adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock split effected in April
2010. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Stock
Split, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding this stock split.

Comparison
of First Six Months of Fiscal 2010 to First Six Months of Fiscal
2009
Net
Sales
Net sales for the first six months of
fiscal 2010 increased by 11.0% to $289.4 million, as compared to net sales of
$260.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009. The increase
in net sales reflects an increase of $32.7 million (a 54.0% increase) to $93.1
million in net sales within the ETG partially offset by a decrease of $3.5
million (a 1.7% decrease) to $196.8 million in net sales within the
FSG. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects the additional net
sales totaling approximately $24 million contributed by a February 2010
acquisition and two fiscal 2009 acquisitions (one in May 2009 and the other in
October 2009) as well as organic growth of approximately 9%. The
organic growth in the ETG reflects some strengthening in demand for certain of
our satellite, defense and medical equipment products and a favorable variation
in customer shipping schedules, which accelerated some net sales into the first
half of fiscal 2010. The net sales decrease within the FSG reflects
reduced demand for our FSG products and services, which continues to be impacted
by reduced airline capacity.
Gross
Profit and Operating Expenses
Our consolidated gross profit margin
increased to 35.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to 33.2%
for the first six months of fiscal 2009, mainly reflecting higher margins within
the FSG principally due to a more favorable product sales mix, including the
favorable impact from the sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 of some
products previously written down as slow-moving. Consolidated cost of
sales for the first six months of fiscal 2010 and 2009 includes approximately
$10.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of new product research and
development expenses.
Selling, general and administrative
(“SG&A”) expenses were $53.2 million and $43.7 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. The increase in
SG&A expenses was mainly due to the operating costs of the fiscal 2010 and
two fiscal 2009 acquisitions referenced above, and higher operating costs,
principally personnel related, associated with the growth in consolidated net
sales and operating results. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased from 16.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2009 to 18.4% for
the first six months of fiscal 2010 reflecting an increase in amortization
expense of intangible assets associated with the recent acquisitions and a
higher level of accrued performance awards based on the improved consolidated
operating results.
Operating
Income
Operating income for the first six
months of fiscal 2010 increased by 18.1% to $50.5 million as compared to
operating income of $42.8 million for the first six months of fiscal
2009. The increase in operating income reflects an $8.2 million
increase (a 49.4% increase) to $24.8 million in operating income of the ETG in
the first six months of fiscal 2010, up from $16.6 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2009 and a $1.3 million increase (a 3.9% increase) in operating
income of the FSG to $32.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010, up
from $31.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009, partially offset by
a $1.7 million increase in
corporate
expenses. The increase in operating income for the ETG in the first
six months of fiscal 2010 reflects the impact of the fiscal 2010 and 2009
acquisitions and organic sales growth. The increase in operating income for the
FSG in the first six months of fiscal 2010 reflects the aforementioned higher
gross profit margins. The increase in corporate expenses for the
first six months of fiscal 2010 is primarily due to the higher level of accrued
performance awards discussed previously.
As a percentage of net sales, our
consolidated operating income increased to 17.5% for the first six months of
fiscal 2010, up from 16.4% for the first six months of fiscal
2009. The increase in consolidated operating income as a percentage
of net sales reflects an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage
of net sales to 16.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from 15.7% in the
first six months of fiscal 2009 resulting primarily from the favorable product
mix previously referenced, partially offset by a decrease in the ETG’s operating
income as a percentage of net sales from 27.4% in the first six months of fiscal
2009 to 26.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2010 resulting primarily from
variations in product mix including lower margins on some newly acquired
businesses.
Interest
Expense
Interest expense in the first six
months of fiscal 2010 and 2009 was not material.
Other
Income
Other income in the first six months of
fiscal 2010 and 2009 was not material.
Income
Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the first
six months of fiscal 2010 increased to 35.0% from 30.2% for the first six months
of fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for the first six months of
fiscal 2009 was lower due to a settlement reached with the Internal Revenue
Service pertaining to the income tax credit claimed on HEICO’s U.S. federal
filings for qualified research and development activities incurred for fiscal
years 2002 through 2005 and a resulting reduction to the related liability for
unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years 2006 through 2008 based on new
information obtained during the examination, which increased net income
attributable to HEICO by approximately $1,225,000, or $.04 per diluted
share.
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests relates to the 20% noncontrolling interest held in the
FSG and the noncontrolling interests held in certain subsidiaries of the FSG and
ETG. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests for the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to the first six
months of fiscal 2009 is principally related to the May 2009 acquisition of an
ETG subsidiary in which a noncontrolling interest exists as well as higher
earnings of certain other ETG subsidiaries in which noncontrolling interests
exist.
Net
Income Attributable to HEICO
Net income attributable to HEICO was
$24.4 million, or $.72 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal
2010 compared to $21.9 million, or $.64 per diluted share, for the first six
months of fiscal 2009 reflecting the increased operating income referenced
above. Diluted net income per share attributable to HEICO
shareholders in the first six months of fiscal 2009 included the $.04 per
diluted share benefit from the aforementioned favorable IRS
settlement.
Comparison
of Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010 to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2009
Net
Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of
fiscal 2010 increased by 18.2% to $153.8 million, as compared to net sales of
$130.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in
net sales reflects an increase of $21.6 million (a 73% increase) to $51.1
million in net sales within the ETG in addition to an increase of $2.3 million
(a 2.3% increase) to $103.0 million in net sales within the FSG. The
net sales increase in the ETG reflects the additional net sales totaling
approximately $16 million contributed by a February 2010 acquisition and two
fiscal 2009 acquisitions (one in May 2009 and the other in October 2009) as well
as organic growth of approximately 12%. The organic growth in the ETG
reflects some strengthening in demand for certain of our satellite, defense and
medical equipment products and a favorable variation in customer shipping
schedules, which accelerated some net sales into the second quarter of fiscal
2010. The net sales increase within the FSG, which is entirely
organic growth, reflects higher net sales outside of our commercial aviation
markets, principally within our industrial products, as reduced airline capacity
continued to impact demand for many of our FSG’s products and
services.
Gross
Profit and Operating Expenses
Our consolidated gross profit margin
increased to 34.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to 32.7%
for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, mainly reflecting the increased
significance of the ETG on our consolidated results as further explained within
the operating income section below and the impact of higher margins within the
FSG principally due to a more favorable product sales mix, partially offset by a
decline in gross profit margin of ETG due to lower margins on some newly
acquired businesses. Consolidated cost of sales for the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 includes approximately $5.4 million and $4.9
million, respectively, of new product research and development
expenses.
SG&A expenses were $27.7 million
and $21.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009,
respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to the
operating costs of the fiscal 2010 acquisition and two fiscal 2009 acquisitions
referenced above, and higher operating costs, principally personnel related,
associated with the growth in consolidated net sales and operating
results. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased
from 16.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to 18.0% for the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 reflecting an increase in amortization expense of intangible
assets associated with
recent
acquisitions and a higher level of accrued performance awards based on the
improved consolidated operating results.
Operating
Income
Operating income for the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 increased by 21.8% to $26.0 million as compared to operating
income of $21.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The
increase in operating income reflects a $5.6 million increase (a 69.3% increase)
to $13.6 million in operating income of the ETG in the second quarter of fiscal
2010, up from $8.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and a $.2
million increase (a 1.0% increase) in operating income of the FSG to $16.1
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, up from $15.9 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in
corporate expenses. The increase in operating income for the ETG in
the second quarter of fiscal 2010 reflects the impact of the fiscal 2010 and
2009 acquisitions and organic sales growth. The increase in operating
income for the FSG in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 reflects the
aforementioned higher gross profit margins. The increase in corporate
expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 is primarily due to the higher
level of accrued performance awards discussed previously.
As a percentage of net sales, our
consolidated operating income increased to 16.9% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2010, up from 16.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 despite the
slight decreases in operating margins experienced by both of our operating
segments. The FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales
decreased slightly to 15.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from 15.8% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the ETG’s operating income as a percentage
of net sales decreased slightly to 26.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010
from 27.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to variations in
product mix including lower margins on some newly acquired
businesses. However, the increased proportion of ETG’s net sales to
our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the ETG’s higher operating margin relative to
that of the FSG resulted in an overall improvement in our consolidated operating
margin for the second quarter for fiscal 2010.
Interest
Expense
Interest expense in the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 and 2009 was not material.
Other
Income
Other income in the second quarter of
fiscal 2010 and 2009 was not material.
Income
Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to 35.1% from 32.7% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2009. The increase principally reflects a higher effective
state income tax rate in fiscal 2010 and an additional benefit from the
settlement reached with the Internal Revenue Service during the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 pertaining to the income tax
credit
claimed on HEICO’s U.S. federal filings for qualified research and development
activities incurred for fiscal years 2002 through 2005 and a resulting reduction
to the related liability for unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years 2006
through 2008 based on new information obtained during the examination, which
increased net income attributable to HEICO by approximately $142,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009. The higher effective state income tax
rate principally reflects the impact of the previously mentioned fiscal 2010 and
2009 acquisitions.
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests relates to the 20% noncontrolling interest held in the
FSG and the noncontrolling interests held in certain subsidiaries of the FSG and
ETG. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the second quarter
of fiscal 2009 is principally related to the May 2009 acquisition of an ETG
subsidiary in which a noncontrolling interest exists as well as higher earnings
of certain other ETG subsidiaries in which noncontrolling interests
exist.
Net
Income Attributable to HEICO
Net income attributable to HEICO was
$12.6 million, or $.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010
compared to $10.5 million, or $.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of
fiscal 2009 reflecting the increased operating income referenced
above.
Outlook
As we look to the balance of fiscal
2010, we expect to see some strengthening in our commercial aviation markets
during the second half of calendar 2010, which aligns with the latter half of
our third quarter and full fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. This
outlook is consistent with the consensus opinion within the airline
industry. However, the strength and exact timing of the recovery and
resulting benefit to HEICO remains uncertain. Commercial aviation
represents approximately 65% of our net sales over the last twelve
months. Based on this aviation market outlook and conditions within
our other major markets, we are targeting fiscal 2010 full year growth in net
sales and net income of 9% to 12% over fiscal 2009, and fiscal 2010 cash flow
from operating activities to approximate fiscal 2009 levels.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our principal uses of cash include
acquisitions, payments of principal and interest on debt, capital expenditures,
distributions to noncontrolling interests, cash dividends and increases in
working capital.
We finance our activities primarily
from our operating activities and financing activities, including borrowings
under our revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2010, our net
debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was a low 10.3%, with net debt (total debt
less cash and cash equivalents) of $53.8 million. We have no
significant debt maturities until fiscal 2013.
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 the foreseeable future.
Operating
Activities
Net cash provided by operating
activities was $40.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010 and
consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $32.9 million
and depreciation and amortization of $8.9 million. Net cash provided
by operating activities increased $13.7 million from $26.6 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2009 due to higher net income from consolidated operations
after adding back depreciation and amortization and tightly managing inventory
growth in the first half of fiscal 2010.
Investing
Activities
Net cash used in investing activities
during the first six months of fiscal 2010 related primarily to acquisitions of
$36.2 million and capital expenditures totaling $4.6
million. Acquisitions principally reflects the acquisition by the ETG
of a subsidiary in the second quarter and additional purchase consideration paid
pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements associated with certain prior
year acquisitions. See Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities during the first six months of fiscal 2010 related primarily to net
borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $9.0 million and proceeds from
stock option exercises of $1.4 million, partially offset by distributions to
noncontrolling interests of $4.4 million, the payment of $1.6 million in cash
dividends on our common stock, and a $.7 million acquisition of noncontrolling
interests.
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,
2009.
See “New Accounting Pronouncements”
below for additional information pertaining to our redeemable noncontrolling
interests.
As discussed in “Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements – Acquisitions – Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration”
below, we may be obligated to pay additional contingent purchase consideration
based on future earnings of certain acquired businesses. The
aggregate maximum amount of such contingent purchase consideration that we could
be required to pay is approximately $96 million payable over future periods
beginning in fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013. Assuming the
subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the
same earnings levels they have performed in the comparable historical
measurement periods, the aggregate amount of such contingent purchase
consideration that we would be required to pay is approximately $12
million. The actual contingent purchase consideration will likely be
different.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
We have arranged for a standby letter
of credit for $1.5 million to meet the security requirement of our insurance
company for potential workers’ compensation claims, which is supported by our
revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2010, one of our
subsidiaries has guaranteed its performance related to certain customer
contracts through two letters of credit, in an aggregate amount of $.7 million,
expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which are supported by our
revolving credit facility. The subsidiary is also a beneficiary of
two letters of credit related to the same contracts.
Acquisitions
– Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2007, we may be obligated to pay additional
purchase consideration of up to 73 million Canadian dollars in aggregate, which
translates to approximately $73 million U.S. dollars based on the April 30, 2010
exchange rate, should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives through
fiscal 2012.
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, we may be obligated to pay additional
consideration of up to approximately $1.3 million in fiscal 2011 and $10.1
million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives
during the second and third years, respectively, following the
acquisition.
As part of the agreement to acquire a
subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, we may be obligated to pay additional
purchase consideration of up to approximately $11.7 million should the
subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during the first two years following
the acquisition.
The above referenced additional
contingent purchase consideration will be accrued when the earnings objectives
are met. Such additional contingent purchase consideration is based
on a multiple of earnings above a threshold (subject to a cap in certain cases)
and is not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entities
remaining employed by us or providing future services to
us. Accordingly, such consideration will be recorded as an additional
cost of the respective acquired entity when paid.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
November 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance that requires the
recognition of certain noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as
minority interests) as a separate component within equity in the consolidated
balance sheet. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests be clearly
identified and presented within the consolidated statement of
operations. The adoption of this new guidance has affected the
presentation of noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial
statements on a retrospective basis. For example, under this
guidance, “Net income from consolidated operations” is comparable to what was
previously presented as
“Income
before minority interests” and “Net income attributable to HEICO” is comparable
to what was previously presented as “Net income.” Further,
acquisitions of noncontrolling interests are considered a financing activity
under the new accounting guidance and are no longer presented as an investing
activity.
Effective November 1, 2009, we also
adopted new accounting guidance that affects the financial statement
classification and measurement of redeemable noncontrolling
interests. As further detailed in Note 15, Commitments and
Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009, the holders of equity
interests in certain of our subsidiaries have rights (“Put Rights”) that require
us to provide cash consideration for their equity interests (the “Redemption
Amount”) at fair value or at a formula that management intended to reasonably
approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a
measurement period. The Put Rights are embedded in the shares owned
by the noncontrolling interest holders and are not
freestanding. Previously, we recorded such redeemable noncontrolling
interests at historical cost plus an allocation of subsidiary earnings based on
ownership interest, less dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest
holders. Effective November 1, 2009, we adjusted our redeemable
noncontrolling interests in accordance with this new accounting guidance to the
higher of their carrying cost or management’s estimate of the Redemption Amount
with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings and classified such interests
outside of permanent equity. Under this guidance, subsequent
adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests to
reflect any changes in the Redemption Amount at the end of each reporting period
will be recorded in the same manner. Such adjustments to Redemption
Amounts based on fair value will have no effect on net income per share
attributable to HEICO shareholders whereas the portion of periodic adjustments
to the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests based solely on a
multiple of future earnings that reflect a redemption amount in excess of fair
value will effect net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders under
the two-class method.
As a result of adopting the new
accounting guidance for noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling
interests, we (i) reclassified approximately $78 million from temporary equity
(previously labeled as “Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries”) to
permanent equity (labeled as “Noncontrolling interests”) pertaining to
noncontrolling interests that do not contain a redemption feature; and (ii)
renamed temporary equity as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” and recorded
an approximately $45 million increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests
with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings in our Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet. The resulting $57 million of redeemable noncontrolling
interests as of November 1, 2009 represents management’s estimate of the
aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that we would be required to pay
of which approximately $25 million is redeemable at fair value and approximately
$32 million is redeemable based solely on a multiple of future
earnings. The actual Redemption Amount will likely be
different. See Note 12, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for
additional information.
In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded
disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB
issued additional guidance which delayed the effective date by one year for
nonfinancial assets and
liabilities
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
nonrecurring basis. These nonfinancial assets and liabilities include
items such as goodwill, other intangible assets, and property, plant and
equipment that are measured at fair value resulting from impairment, if deemed
necessary. We adopted the portions of the new guidance that were
delayed on a prospective basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, or November
1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new
guidance for business combinations that retains the fundamental requirements of
previous guidance that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the
“purchase accounting” method) be used for all business combinations and for an
acquirer to be identified for each business combination. However, the
new guidance changes the approach of applying the acquisition method in a number
of significant areas, including that acquisition costs will generally be
expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value as
of the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at
fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset as of the acquisition date;
restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be
expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset
valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date
generally will affect income tax expense. Further, any contingent
consideration will be recognized as a liability at fair value as of the
acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in
operations. Contingent consideration was previously accounted for as
an additional cost of the respective acquired entity when paid. We
adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis as of the beginning of fiscal
2010 for all business combinations consummated on or after November 1,
2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06,
“Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” which requires new
disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and more detailed information of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. We adopted ASU 2010-06 as of the beginning of the
second quarter of fiscal 2010, except the additional Level 3 disclosures,
which are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, or as of
fiscal 2012 for us. The adoption did not have a material effect on
our results of operations, financial position or 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 statements 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 known and unknown 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 or implied in those statements. Factors that could
cause such differences include, but are not limited to: lower demand
for commercial air travel or airline fleet changes, 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;
HEICO’s ability to introduce new products and product pricing levels, which
could reduce our sales or sales growth and; HEICO’s ability to make acquisitions
and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses, customer credit risk,
interest rates and economic conditions within and outside of the aviation,
defense, space, medical, telecommunication and electronic industries, which
could negatively impact our costs and revenues. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
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,
2009.
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 were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation
referred to above that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
