HEICO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024. The October 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. ("HFSC") and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, or in fiscal 2025 for HEICO, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

Index

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of specific categories in the annual effective tax rate reconciliation table and further disaggregation for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or in fiscal 2026 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement (such as cost of sales and SG&A expenses). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, or in fiscal 2028 for HEICO, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

2. ACQUISITIONS

In November 2024, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 70% of the stock of SVM Private Limited (“SVM”). SVM designs and manufactures high-performance electronic passive components and subsystems, including critical magnetic components and busbars, that serve the healthcare and industrial end-markets. The remaining 30% interest continues to be owned by a certain member of SVM'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 cash provided by operating activities and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2024, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, entered into an exclusive license agreement and acquired certain assets to support the Boeing 777 AIMS (Airplane Information Management System) and Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 VIA (Versatile Integrated Avionics) product lines from Honeywell International. Honeywell's AIMS for the Boeing 777 and VIA for the Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 are integrated avionics systems providing cockpit displays, maintenance diagnostics, and flight management functions. The transaction provides the HFSC subsidiary with the exclusive capability to produce, sell, and repair Boeing 777 AIMS and Boeing 737NG/P-8/E-7 VIA hardware systems. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and cash provided by operating activities, and is not material or significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Index

In January 2025, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, acquired 90% of the membership interests of Millennium International, LLC ("Millennium"). Millennium is an FAA and EASA-certified Part 145 Repair Station, specializing in the repair and support of new generation and legacy avionics systems and components. Millennium offers comprehensive repair, overhaul, retrofit, and exchange services to its customers that include aircraft OEMs, fleet operators, repair businesses, and avionics brokers. The remaining 10% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Millennium’s management team. See Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information. The total consideration includes an accrual of $11.5 million as of the acquisition date representing the estimated fair value of contingent consideration the Company may be obligated to pay should Millennium meet a certain earnings objective following the acquisition. See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration obligation. The purchase price of this acquisition was principally paid in cash using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and cash provided by operating activities, as well as through the issuance of 53,186 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock.

The allocation of the total consideration for the fiscal 2025 acquisitions 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. However, the Company does not expect any adjustment to such allocation to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the fiscal 2025 acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations as of each effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of the fiscal 2025 acquisitions included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2025 is not material. Had the fiscal 2025 acquisitions occurred as of November 1, 2023, net sales, net income from consolidated operations, net income attributable to HEICO, and basic and diluted net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders on a pro forma basis for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The holders of equity interests in certain of the Company's subsidiaries have rights ("Put Rights") that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests through fiscal 2034. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the "Redemption Amount") be at fair value or a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. Management's estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company could be required to pay is as follows (in thousands):

As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 70% of the stock of SVM in November 2024. As part of the shareholders' agreement, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase their equity interest beginning in fiscal 2029, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same equity interest over the same period.

During fiscal 2022, the holder of a 19.9% noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of the FSG that was acquired in fiscal 2015 exercised their option to cause the Company to purchase their noncontrolling interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2026. In December 2024, the Company acquired an additional one-fourth of such interest, which increased the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary to 95.03%.

As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company, through a subsidiary of HFSC, acquired 90% of the membership interests of Millennium in January 2025. As part of the operating agreement, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase their membership interest over a four-year period beginning in fiscal 2029, or sooner under certain conditions, and the Company has the right to purchase the same membership interest over the same period.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates if different assumptions were used or different events ultimately transpire.

Our critical accounting policies, which require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, are described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Our business is comprised of two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Our results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2025 have been affected by the fiscal 2024 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 and the fiscal 2025 acquisitions as further detailed in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report.

Comparison of First Quarter of Fiscal 2025 to First Quarter of Fiscal 2024

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased by 15% to a record $1,030.2 million, up from net sales of $896.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated net sales principally reflects an increase of $94.5 million (a 15% increase) to a record $713.2 million in net sales of the FSG and an increase of $44.4 million (a 16% increase) to $330.3 million in net sales of the ETG. The net sales increase in the FSG reflects strong organic growth of 13% and net sales of $13.5 million contributed by fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. The FSG's organic net sales growth reflects increased demand within its aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul parts and services, and specialty products product lines resulting in net sales increases of $60.9 million, $15.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The net sales increase in the ETG reflects strong organic growth of 11% and net sales of $9.9 million contributed by fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. The ETG's organic net sales growth is mainly attributable to increased demand for its defense, space and aerospace products resulting in net sales increases of $16.1 million, $13.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a slight decrease in demand for its other electronics and medical products. Sales price changes were not a significant contributing factor to the change in net sales of the FSG and ETG in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin improved to 39.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 38.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting increases of 1.0% and .6% in the ETG's and FSG’s gross profit margin, respectively. The increase in the ETG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales of space, defense and aerospace products, partially offset by the previously mentioned slight decrease in net sales of other electronics and medical products. The increase in the FSG's gross profit margin principally reflects the previously mentioned higher net sales within our aftermarket replacement parts product line. Total new product research and development expenses included within our consolidated cost of sales were $27.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $25.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $178.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to $166.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses principally reflects costs incurred to support the previously mentioned net sales growth resulting in increases of $4.3 million and $3.9 million in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively, as well as $4.0 million attributable to our fiscal 2024 and 2025 acquisitions.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales improved to 17.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from 18.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales principally reflects efficiencies realized from the previously mentioned net sales growth.

Index

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income increased by 26% to a record $226.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $180.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income principally reflects a $30.0 million increase (a 22% increase) to a record $166.1 million in operating income of the FSG and a $21.1 million increase (a 38% increase) to $76.5 million in operating income of the ETG. The increase in operating income of the FSG and ETG principally reflects the previously mentioned net sales growth, SG&A efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, and the improved gross profit margin at each operating segment.

Our consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales improved to 22.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 20.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects an increase in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales to 23.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 19.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and an increase in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales to 23.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from 22.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a 2.8% impact from lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to the previously mentioned efficiencies realized from the net sales growth, as well as the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects the previously mentioned improved gross profit margin and a .7% impact from a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily driven by the previously mentioned efficiencies.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $32.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from $38.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decrease in the amount of outstanding debt.

Other Income

Other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate decreased to 7.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from 11.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in our effective tax rate principally reflects a larger tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. We recognized a discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises in both the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 of $27.2 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Index

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to the 20% noncontrolling interest held by Lufthansa Technik AG in HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. and the noncontrolling interests held by others in certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $13.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to $10.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests principally reflects improved operating results of certain subsidiaries of the FSG and ETG in which noncontrolling interests are held.

Net Income Attributable to HEICO

Net income attributable to HEICO increased by 46% to a record $168.0 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $114.7 million, or $.82 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 principally reflecting the previously mentioned higher consolidated operating income and lower effective tax rate.

Outlook

As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2025, we remain confident in achieving net sales growth across both the FSG and ETG segments, driven primarily by strong organic demand for most of our products. Specifically, we are optimistic about sustained momentum in our defense products, as reflected in this past quarter's results. Additionally, we aim to accelerate growth through our recently completed acquisitions while positioning ourselves to capitalize on future acquisition opportunities. Our disciplined financial strategy continues to focus on maximizing long-term shareholder value through a balanced approach of strategic acquisitions and organic growth initiatives aimed at gaining market share, while maintaining a strong financial position and preserving flexibility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, interest payments, cash dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests and working capital needs. We continue to anticipate fiscal 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately $65 to $70 million. We finance our activities primarily from our operating and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes contain both financial and non-financial covenants. As of January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants and our total debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 61.8%.

Based on our current outlook, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Index

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $203.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and consisted primarily of net income from consolidated operations of $181.6 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $46.2 million (a non-cash item), net changes of $17.7 million included in the "Other" caption (principally the receipt of advance deposits on certain long-term customer contracts), and net changes in other long-term liabilities and assets related to the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP") of $13.0 million (principally participant deferrals and employer contributions), partially offset by a $59.7 million increase in net working capital. The increase in net working capital is inclusive of a $63.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities mainly reflecting the payment of fiscal 2024 accrued performance-based compensation, and a $36.2 million increase in inventories to support an increase in consolidated backlog, partially offset by a $20.1 million decrease in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of collections, a $16.9 million increase in income taxes payable and a $10.4 million increase in trade accounts payable.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $91.4 million (an 82% increase) in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up from $111.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase is principally attributable to a $56.1 million increase in net income from consolidated operations, a $19.6 million increase in the "Other" caption (principally the receipt of advance deposits on certain long-term customer contracts), a $12.2 million decrease in net working capital and a $4.0 million decrease in the payment of contingent consideration.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $288.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and related primarily to acquisitions of $254.8 million, capital expenditures of $17.3 million and LCP funding of $14.6 million. Further details regarding our fiscal 2025 acquisitions may be found in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 totaled $90.7 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we borrowed $145.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which was partially offset by $20.0 million in payments made on our revolving credit facility, $15.3 million of cash dividends paid on our common stock, $10.2 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, $6.0 million of contingent consideration payments and $3.3 million of payments to acquire certain noncontrolling interests.

Other Obligations and Commitments

There have not been any material changes to our other obligations and commitments that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024.

Guarantor Group Summarized Financial Information

On July 27, 2023, we completed the public offer and sale of senior unsecured notes, which consisted of $600 million principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due August 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and $600 million principal amount of 5.35% Senior Notes due August 1, 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under our revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") (the “Guarantor Group”).

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between HEICO and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations of HEICO and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is owned either directly or indirectly by the Company and jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the Notes. None of the Subsidiary Guarantors are organized outside of the U.S.

Under the Indenture, holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to the release of a subsidiary guarantee provided by a subsidiary guarantor, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes, upon such subsidiary guarantor ceasing to guarantee or to be an obligor with respect to the Credit Facility. Accordingly, if the lenders under the Credit Facility release a subsidiary guarantor from its guarantee of, or obligations as a borrower under, the Credit Facility, the obligations of the subsidiary guarantors to guarantee the Notes will immediately terminate. If any of our future subsidiaries incur obligations under the Credit Facility while the Notes are outstanding, then such subsidiary will be required to guarantee the Notes.

In addition, a subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved from all its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee in the following circumstances, each of which is permitted by the indenture:

•upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting stock of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to us or any of our affiliates); or

Index

•upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the property of such subsidiary guarantor (other than to any of our affiliates or another subsidiary guarantor);

provided, however, that, in each case, such transaction is permitted by the Credit Facility and after giving effect to such transaction, such subsidiary guarantor is no longer liable for any subsidiary guarantee or other obligations in respect of the Credit Facility. The subsidiary guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor also will be released if we exercise our legal defeasance, covenant defeasance option or discharge the Indenture.

We conduct our operations almost entirely through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Guarantor Group’s cash flow and ability to service any guaranteed registered debt securities will depend on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to the Guarantor Group, including the earnings of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, whether by dividends, loans or otherwise. Holders of the guaranteed registered debt securities will have a direct claim only against the Guarantor Group.

The following tables include summarized financial information for the Guarantor Group (in thousands). The information for the Guarantor Group is presented on a combined basis, excluding intercompany balances and transactions between us and the Guarantor Group and excluding investments in and equity in the earnings of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Guarantor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-guarantor subsidiaries have been presented in separate line items. The consolidating schedules are provided in accordance with the reporting requirements of Rule 13-01 under SEC Regulation S-X for the issuer and guarantor subsidiaries.

•The severity, magnitude and duration of public health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

•Our liquidity and the amount and timing of cash generation;

•Lower commercial air travel, airline fleet changes or airline purchasing decisions, which could cause lower demand for our goods and services;

•Product specification costs and requirements, which could cause an increase to our costs to complete contracts;

•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, which could reduce our sales;

•Our ability to introduce new products and services at profitable pricing levels, which could reduce our sales or sales growth;

Index

•Product development or manufacturing difficulties, which could increase our product development and manufacturing costs and delay sales;

•Cyber security events or other disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business; and

•Our ability to make acquisitions, including obtaining any applicable domestic and/or foreign governmental approvals, and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses; customer credit risk; interest, foreign currency exchange and income tax rates; and economic conditions, including the effects of inflation, within and outside of the aviation, defense, space, medical, telecommunications and electronics industries, which could negatively impact our costs and revenues.

For further information on these and other factors that potentially could materially affect our financial results, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024.
