Forward Guidance

HEICO anticipates continued net sales growth and is raising its full year net income growth estimate.

Positive Outlook

  • Continued net sales growth within the Flight Support Group's commercial aviation and defense product lines.
  • Growth within the Electronic Technologies Group, principally driven by demand for the majority of products.
  • Commitments to developing new products and services.
  • Further market penetration.
  • Aggressive acquisition strategy.

Challenges Ahead

  • Potential impact from the recent coronavirus outbreak as the impact to our businesses is uncertain and difficult to predict.
  • Lower demand for commercial air travel or airline fleet changes or airline purchasing decisions.
  • Product specification costs and requirements.
  • 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.
  • Economic conditions within and outside of the aviation, defense, space, medical, telecommunications and electronics industries.
