Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 2, 2023, HEICO Corporation (the “Company") identified a cybersecurity incident that impacted certain of its information technology (“IT”) systems. The Company, with the support of third-party cyber defense firms, took immediate steps to contain, investigate and remediate the incident. The Company also notified law enforcement. The incident promptly was contained, and the affected IT systems have been substantially restored to full operational capabilities.

In addition to the disruption to certain IT systems, the incident involved the theft of some internal business documents. The Company became aware on April 7, 2023 that information related to the Company was posted on the dark web.

Based on information available to date, the Company believes the incident will have no material impact on its financial results of operations for its fiscal second quarter ending April 30, 2023 or for the current fiscal year ending October 31, 2023.

The Company continues to work diligently to investigate this cybersecurity incident, including to assess the data that may have been affected. The Company is complying with its legal obligations regarding the incident, including making appropriate notifications.
