Consolidated Results
Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the Company's third quarter results stating, "We are very pleased to report record quarterly consolidated net sales and operating income driven mainly by record quarterly operating results at the Flight Support Group. These results reflect 13% consolidated organic growth in our net sales principally arising from a continued rebound in demand for our commercial aerospace products and services.
Our total debt to shareholders' equity ratio improved to 9.9% as of July 31, 2022, down from 10.3% as of October 31, 2021. Our net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $112.2 million as of July 31, 2022 to shareholders’ equity ratio improved to 4.5% as of July 31, 2022, as compared to 5.6% as of October 31, 2021.
Our net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to .20x as of July 31, 2022, down from .26x as of October 31, 2021. During fiscal 2022, we successfully completed five acquisitions and we completed seven acquisitions over the past year. We have no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2025 and plan to utilize our financial strength and flexibility to aggressively pursue high quality acquisitions of various sizes to accelerate growth and maximize shareholder returns.
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased 20% to $149.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up from $124.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Cash flow provided by operating activities remained strong, totaling $323.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared to $334.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
In July 2022, we announced that our Flight Support Group acquired 96% of the stock of Accurate Metal Machining, Inc. The acquisition’s purchase price was paid in cash, principally using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our earnings within the year following the acquisition.
In August 2022, we announced that our Electronic Technologies Group acquired 100% of the stock of Charter Engineering, Inc. The acquisition’s purchase price was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities and we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our earnings within the year following the acquisition.
In August 2022, we announced that our Electronic Technologies Group acquired 100% of the stock of Sensor Systems, Inc. The acquisition’s purchase price was paid for with
a proportional combination of cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and approximately 575,000 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock and we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our earnings within the year following the acquisition.
In July 2022, we announced that our Electronic Technologies Group agreed to purchase approximately 95% of Exxelia International for €453 million plus the assumption of approximately €14 million of liabilities. The transaction’s closing, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, would be HEICO's largest-ever in terms of purchase price and revenues, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, obtaining a required foreign antitrust clearance and foreign investment authorizations. Additionally, Exxelia is expected to be accretive to HEICO’s earnings per share within a year of the transaction’s closing.
As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2022, we expect global commercial air travel to continue growing despite the potential for additional COVID-19 global pandemic (the "Pandemic") variants. We remain cautiously optimistic that the ongoing worldwide Pandemic vaccines and boosters rollout will continue to positively influence global commercial air travel and benefit the markets we serve. But, it still remains very difficult to predict the Pandemic's path and effect, including factors like new variants and vaccination rates, potential supply chain disruptions and inflation, which can impact our key markets. Therefore, we feel it would not be responsible to provide fiscal 2022 net sales and earnings guidance at this time. However, we believe our ongoing conservative policies, strong balance sheet, and high degree of liquidity enable us to continuously invest in new research and development, take advantage of periodic strategic inventory purchasing opportunities, and execute on our successful acquisition program, which collectively position HEICO for market share gains."
Flight Support Group
Eric A. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-President and President of HEICO's Flight Support Group, commented on the Flight Support Group's third quarter results stating, "Continuing our growth trend, we achieved quarterly increases of 68% and 39% in operating income and net sales, respectively, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021. These results principally reflect robust quarterly organic net sales growth of 24% for our commercial aerospace parts and services. The Flight Support Group has now achieved eight consecutive quarters of growth in operating income and net sales.
The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 39% to a record $330.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up from $237.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Flight Support Group's net sales increased 36% to $909.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, up from $666.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The net sales increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 reflects strong organic growth of 25% and 26%, respectively, as well as the impact from our profitable fiscal 2022 and 2021 acquisitions. The organic growth mainly reflects increased demand for the majority of our commercial aerospace products and services resulting from continued recovery in global commercial air travel as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021.
The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 68% to a record $70.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up from $42.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Flight Support Group's operating income increased 83% to a record $189.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, up from $103.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The operating income increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 principally reflects an improved gross profit margin mainly from the increased net sales across all product lines, and efficiencies realized from the higher net sales volume.
The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 21.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up from 17.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The operating margin increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 principally reflects a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly reflecting the previously mentioned efficiencies, as well as the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin.
The Flight Support Group's operating margin improved to 20.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, up from 15.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The operating margin increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin, as well as a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly reflecting the previously mentioned efficiencies."
Electronic Technologies Group
Victor H. Mendelson, HEICO's Co-President and President of HEICO’s Electronic Technologies Group, commented on the Electronic Technologies Group's third quarter results stating, "Improved demand and strong organic net sales growth for our other electronics, space and medical products were achieved during the quarter, while we experienced a decrease in defense product net sales.
Further, our overall group backlog remains elevated, reflecting strong orders and increasing delays in receiving components and raw materials from some suppliers. These delays have adversely impacted our planned production and shipment of certain defense products during fiscal 2022.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 2% to $244.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up from $239.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The net sales increase is mainly attributable to the impact from our profitable fiscal 2021 and 2022 acquisitions as well as 1% organic growth. The organic growth mainly reflects increased demand for our other electronics, space and medical products, partially offset by decreased demand for our defense products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales were $703.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared to $706.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The net sales decrease is mainly attributable to decreased demand for our defense products, partially offset by increased demand for our other electronics, medical, space, telecommunications and aerospace products, as well as the impact from our profitable fiscal 2021 and 2022 acquisitions.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income was $68.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, as compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The operating income decrease principally reflects a lower gross profit margin mainly from the previously mentioned decreased demand for our defense products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating income was $189.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared to $200.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The operating income decrease principally reflects a lower level of efficiencies resulting from the previously mentioned net sales decrease and a lower gross profit margin. The lower gross profit margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 mainly reflects the previously mentioned decreased demand for our defense products.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 27.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, as compared to 28.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The lower operating margin principally reflects the previously mentioned lower gross profit margin and an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
The Electronic Technologies Group's operating margin was 26.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared to 28.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The lower operating margin principally reflects an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales mainly from the previously mentioned lower level of efficiencies and from the lower gross profit margin."
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), its net debt to shareholders' equity ratio (calculated as net debt divided by shareholders' equity) 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.
