Forward Guidance
HEICO expects positive cash flow from operations for the remainder of fiscal 2020, but withdrew its fiscal 2020 financial guidance due to the impact of the Outbreak.
Positive Outlook
- Cost savings will most likely be a priority for commercial aviation customers once commercial air travel resumes.
- Demand for favorably priced commercial aviation products and services will return in advance of the overall market recovery.
- Cost-saving solutions and robust product development programs will enable HEICO to potentially increase market share.
- HEICO has no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2023.
- HEICO plans to utilize its financial strength and flexibility to aggressively pursue high quality acquisitions of various sizes.
Challenges Ahead
- The COVID-19 outbreak has caused significant volatility and a substantial decline in value across global economic markets.
- The commercial aerospace industry has experienced an ongoing substantial decline in demand.
- Businesses that operate within the commercial aerospace industry have been materially impacted by the significant decline in global commercial air travel.
- It is impossible to predict the future impact of periodic operational disruptions resulting from supply chain disturbances, staffing challenges, temporary facility closures and transportation interruptions.
- HEICO cannot estimate the duration and magnitude of the Outbreak and cannot confidently predict when demand for commercial aerospace products will return to pre-Outbreak levels.
