Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | ACQUISITION On January 5, 2023, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 93.69% of the outstanding common stock and all of the preferred stock of Exxelia International SAS (“Exxelia”). Exxelia designs, manufactures and sells high reliability (“Hi-Rel”), complex, passive electronic components and rotary joint assemblies for mostly aerospace and defense applications, in addition to other high-end applications, such as medical and energy uses, including emerging “clean energy” and electrification applications. The Company believes that this acquisition will further HEICO's strategy of expanding its already wide range of mission-critical and Hi-Rel components for the most demanding applications, as well as provide HEICO with added broad geographic and product diversity, including in the important European market. The remaining 6.31% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Exxelia's management team (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information). Additionally, as a result of this acquisition, the Company also obtained a 90% ownership interest in Alcon Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (“Alcon”), which is an existing subsidiary of Exxelia. The remaining 10% interest continues to be owned by a certain member of Alcon’s management team (See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information). The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash, using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility. The following table summarizes the total consideration for the acquisition of Exxelia (in thousands):
Cash paid |  | $515,785 |
Less: cash acquired |  | (14,257) |
Total consideration paid, net |  | $501,528 |
As noted above, the Company acquired all of the preferred stock of Exxelia. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, Exxelia’s preferred stock accrues dividends at 5.18% per annum. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, HEICO issued Exxelia a ten-year €150 million note, which accrues interest at 4.7% per annum on the principal outstanding. The Company records foreign currency transaction adjustments on the note receivable within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the allocation of the total consideration for the acquisition of Exxelia to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed (in thousands):
Assets acquired: |  |
Goodwill |  | $306,356 |
Customer relationships |  | 66,844 |
Intellectual property |  | 56,307 |
Trade name |  | 29,271 |
Inventories |  | 55,875 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 43,704 |
Accounts receivable |  | 21,056 |
Other assets |  | 17,031 |
Total assets acquired, excluding cash |  | 596,444 |
Liabilities assumed: |  |
Deferred income taxes |  | 40,593 |
Accounts payable |  | 18,671 |
Accrued expenses |  | 15,004 |
Other liabilities |  | 8,585 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | 82,853 |
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries |  | 12,063 |
Net assets acquired, excluding cash |  | $501,528 |
The allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. The primary items that generated the goodwill recognized were the premiums paid by the Company for the future earnings potential of Exxelia and the value of its assembled workforce that do not qualify for separate recognition, however, benefit both the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders. The fair value of the noncontrolling interests were determined based on the consideration paid by the Company for its controlling ownership interest adjusted for a lack of control that a market participant would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. The amortization period of the customer relationships, intellectual property and trade name acquired is 18 years, 16 years and indefinite, respectively. Acquisition costs associated with the purchase of Exxelia totaled $5.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and were recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The operating results of Exxelia were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. For the three months ended January 31, 2023, the Company's consolidated net sales includes $15.0 million from the acquisition of Exxelia, and the acquisition did not have a material impact on net income attributable to HEICO. The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022 as if the acquisition of Exxelia had occurred as of November 1, 2021 (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three months ended
| January 31, 2023 |  | January 31, 2022
Net sales | $660,318 |  |  | $539,014 |
Net income from consolidated operations | $119,116 |  |  | $87,151 |
Net income attributable to HEICO | $108,417 |  |  | $79,993 |
Net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders: |  |  |
Basic | $.79 |  |  | $.59 |

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, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to historical amounts such as increased interest expense associated with borrowings to finance the acquisition, foreign currency transaction adjustments on the note receivable from Exxelia, the reclassification of acquisition costs associated with the purchase of Exxelia from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2022, additional amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired, and inventory purchase accounting adjustments charged to cost of sales as the inventory is sold.
