Heico logged higher profit and revenue in its fiscal first quarter, boosted by organic sales growth and recent acquisitions.
The airplane-part and electronics supplier on Wednesday reported a profit of $168 million for its three months ended Jan. 31, up from $114.7 million a year earlier.
Quarterly earnings of $1.20 a share topped the 94 cents a share that analysts surveyed by FactSet expected.
Sales rose 15% to $1.03 billion. Analysts were looking for $979.2 million, according to FactSet.
Shares rose 6.6%, to $242.49, in after-hours trading.
Flight support group revenue increased 15% to $713.2 million, boosted by organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions, the company said. Sales across the company's electronic technologies group came in at $330.3 million, up 16% from the prior year.
Looking ahead, Chief Executive Laurans Mendelson said the company is optimistic about the sustained momentum its defence products are experiencing.
