Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 9, 2024, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference is a presentation regarding the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The press release and presentation contain the non-GAAP measures earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within the press release and the presentation. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024 to net income for the fiscal year 2024, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cadre Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Grew Quarterly Net Sales 19% and Net Income 14% Year-Over-Year

Increased Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $28.3 Million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 19.6%

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 9, 2024 – Cadre Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre” or “Company”), a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of safety equipment and other related products for the law enforcement, first responder, military and nuclear markets, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net sales of $144.3 million for the second quarter; net sales of $282.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross profit margin of 40.6% for the second quarter; gross profit margin of 41.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net income of $12.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter; net income of $19.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA of $28.3 million for the second quarter; Adjusted EBITDA of $52.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.6% for the second quarter; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.0875 per share in July 2024.

“Cadre delivered strong second quarter results, driven by outstanding execution in line with our strategic objectives, as well as significant demand for our mission-critical safety equipment,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “The value of the Cadre operating model continues to be evident, as we increased quarterly net sales, net income and adjusted EBITDA both sequentially and year-over-year. Importantly, Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin improved 80 basis points year-over-year and 180 basis points versus the first quarter.”

Mr. Kanders added, “Supported by Cadre’s entrenched positions and favorable industry trends across our law enforcement, first responder, military, and nuclear end-markets, we continue to see attractive long-term growth opportunities throughout the business. M&A remains an essential component of our strategy to increase value, and consistent with our patient and disciplined approach, we are actively evaluating a robust pipeline of potential transactions. We remain on track to deliver double-digit net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024 and are focused on taking advantage of both organic and inorganic opportunities ahead to enhance our market positions and accelerate growth.”

Second Quarter and Six-Month 2024 Operating Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Cadre generated net sales of $144.3 million, as compared to $121.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of recent acquisitions, as well as higher demand for armor and duty gear products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Cadre generated net sales of $282.2 million, as compared to $232.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, also mainly driven by recent acquisitions, as well as the higher demand for armor and duty gear products.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Cadre generated gross profit of $58.7 million, as compared to $50.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Cadre generated gross profit of $116.3 million, as compared to $97.4 million for the prior year period.

Gross profit margin was 40.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 41.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, mainly driven by amortization of inventory step up adjustments related to recent acquisitions and inflation, partially offset by favorable pricing and product mix. Amortization of inventory step-up and intangibles related to the acquisitions in the second quarter was $2.5 million representing 170 bps of impact to gross margin. Gross profit margin


was 41.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 41.8% for the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, amortization of inventory step-up and intangibles related to acquisitions was $3.8 million or 133bps of impact to gross margin.

Net income was $12.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net income of $11.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase resulted primarily as a result of an increase in gross profit and recent acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to acquisitions and employee compensation and related benefits.

Net income was $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net income of $18.0 million for the prior year period, also primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit and recent acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to acquisitions and employee compensation and related benefits.

Cadre generated $28.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $22.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 18.8% for the prior year period.

Cadre generated $52.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $41.4 million for the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 17.8% for the prior year period. 

Product segment gross margin was 41.1% and 42.0% for the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared to 43.7% and 43.6% for the prior year periods. 

 

Distribution segment gross margin was 22.9% and 23.2% for the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared to 23.1% and 23.6% for the prior year periods. 

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $18.2 million from $87.7 million as of December 31, 2023 to $105.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
Total debt increased by $71.3 million from $140.1 million as of December 31, 2023 to $211.4 million as of June 30, 2024.
Net debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) increased by $53.0 million from $52.4 million as of December 31, 2023 to $105.5 million as of June 30, 2024.
Capital expenditures totaled $2.1 million for the second quarter and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $1.5 million for the second quarter and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Dividend

On July 23, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0875 per share, or $0.35 per share on an annualized basis. Cadre's dividend payment will be made on August 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of August 2, 2024. The declaration of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

2024 Outlook

As disclosed in our 8-K filed on July 19, 2024, Cadre experienced a cyber incident on July 15, 2024. The Company believes it has permanently contained and ended the incident and its associated risks and has either resumed or is in the process of resuming all affected business operations. The incident caused Cadre to limit production in a number of its facilities while the incident was being investigated and remediated. Cadre engaged a number of outside experts to assist in this effort. Due to the limited production during this time, the Company has modified its full year guidance for 2024, Cadre now expects to generate net sales in the range of $571 million to $582 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $103 million and $109 million. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $7 million to $9 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The press release contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) adjusted EBITDA, (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin and (iv) last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period- over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within this press release. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024 to net income for the fiscal year 2024, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.

21 USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The presentation contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) adjusted EBITDA, (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin and (iv) last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period- over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within this presentation. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024 to net income for the fiscal year 2024, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.
