Today’s record Q4 2025 sales, earnings and cash flow build directly on this acquisitive and growth-oriented trajectory.

Consolidated Results
Eric A. Mendelson and Victor H. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers, commented on the Company's fourth quarter results stating, "HEICO did it again and we are extremely pleased to report record quarterly net income, operating income and net sales, reflecting robust double-digit organic net sales growth and contributions by our profitable fiscal 2025 acquisitions. These results reflect continuing very strong organic net sales growth in both of our reporting segments. We are beyond proud of HEICO's team, who generated our organic and acquired growth, by continuing our 35-year track record of exceptional performance. These results stem from hard work and actions taken over decades, not just the past year, and demonstrates the value creation of HEICO's long-term focus in everything we do.
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased
As a result of these strong cash flows, our total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio improved to 3.14x as of October 31, 2025, down from 4.34x as of October 31, 2024. And, our net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.60x as of October 31, 2025, down from 2.06x as of October 31, 2024. See our reconciliation of total debt to net debt at the end of this press release.
Today, HEICO's Board of Directors declared a semiannual cash dividend of $.12 per share payable in January 2026. This cash dividend will be HEICO's 95th consecutive semiannual cash dividend since 1979. The cash dividend confirms our Board of Director's confidence in HEICO's future while continuing to reward our shareholders and retaining sufficient capital to fund our internal growth and acquisitions.
We continued to supplement our net sales and earnings growth in fiscal 2025 through the completion of five acquisitions, three by the Electronic Technologies Group and two by the Flight Support Group.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we anticipate net sales growth across both the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group, driven by organic growth from increased demand for the majority of our products as well as growth through our recent acquisitions. We will continue to pursue selective acquisition opportunities to complement this growth. Our disciplined financial management remains dedicated to creating long-term shareholder value through a balanced combination of making strategic acquisitions and organic expansion, while maintaining financial resilience and flexibility."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide additional information about the Company's results, HEICO has discussed in this press release its EBITDA (calculated as net income attributable to HEICO adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense and income tax expense), its net debt (calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents), and its net debt to EBITDA ratio (calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA), which are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
These non-GAAP measures are included to supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of its business and believes the presentation of these measures enhance an investor's ability to analyze trends in the Company's business and to evaluate the Company's performance relative to other companies in its industry. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.
