Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 4, 2025, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. 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 September 30, 2025.
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 2025 to net income for the fiscal year 2025, 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.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong performance, driven by Cadre’s industry leading brands and favorable trends across our law enforcement, first responder, military, and nuclear end-markets,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “Our teams delivered results above expectations, while expanding our backlog significantly and advancing Cadre’s track record of consistent and stable growth despite a dynamic operating environment. Revenue, gross profit, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly this quarter, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin that improved 670 basis points year-over-year.”
Mr. Kanders added, “Our recently announced agreement to acquire TYR Tactical marks Cadre’s sixth and largest acquisition since going public and a meaningful step forward in strengthening our diversified platform of durable safety businesses. Cadre's disciplined M&A program is crucial to accelerating long-term growth, and we are excited to have once again delivered on our pledge to capitalize on attractive inorganic opportunities. Building on our current momentum, we remain focused on pursuing additional transactions in line with our highly selective key criteria and continuing to take advantage of the free cash flow generated by the strong and recurring demand for our mission-critical safety and survivability equipment.”
Third Quarter and Nine-Month 2025 Operating Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Cadre generated net sales of $155.9 million, as compared to $109.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily a result of recent acquisitions and strong demand for armor and duty gear products, as well as the impact of the 2024 cyber incident on the comparable period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Cadre generated net sales of $443.1 million, as compared to $391.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, also mainly driven by recent acquisitions, as well as strong demand for nuclear safety and crowd control products.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Cadre generated gross profit of $66.6 million, as compared to $40.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Cadre generated gross profit of $187.0 million, as compared to $156.3 million for the prior year period.
Gross profit margin was 42.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 36.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, mainly driven by increased volume, favorable pricing net of material inflation, and a decrease in inventory step-up amortization. Gross profit margin was 42.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 39.9% for the prior year period.
Net income was $10.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net income of $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily as a result of increased gross profit, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as other costs.
Net income was $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net income of $23.2 million for the prior year period, primarily as a result of increased gross profit and gains from foreign exchange rates partially offset by increases in compensation expense, interest expense and provision for taxes.
Cadre generated $29.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $13.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 12.4% for the prior year period.
Cadre generated $77.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $66.3 million for the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 16.9% for the prior year period.
Product segment gross margin was 43.9% and 43.3% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to 37.4% and 40.7% for the prior year periods.
Distribution segment gross margin was 21.3% and 22.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to 21.9% and 22.9% for the prior year periods.
Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents increased by $25.9 million from $124.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to $150.9 million as of September 30, 2025. |
| ● | Total debt increased by $88.0 million from $223.2 million as of December 31, 2024 to $311.2 million as of September 30, 2025. |
| ● | Net debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) increased by $62.1 million from $98.3 million as of December 31, 2024 to $160.4 million as of September 30, 2025. |
| ● | Capital expenditures totaled $0.6 million for the third quarter and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $1.1 million for the third quarter and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. |
Acquisition of TYR Tactical
On October 28, 2025, Cadre announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TYR Tactical, LLC, a leading global manufacturer of tactical gear and equipment for military, law enforcement, and government agencies worldwide. TYR Tactical produced approximately $92.6 million of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024, and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and Adjusted EBITDA margins. The total consideration is $175 million and is anticipated to close in the first half of 2026.
Med-Eng Wins $50 Million Contract with the Department of Defense
On September 26, 2025, Cadre subsidiary Med-Eng, LLC was awarded a $50 million Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract by the United States Department of Defense (DoD), known as the Blast Exposure Monitoring System (BEMO). At the time of award, Med-Eng received the first purchase order for $10 million to be shipped in 2026.
Dividend
On October 21, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.095 per share, or $0.38 per share on an annualized basis. Cadre's dividend payment will be made on November 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of October 31, 2025. The declaration of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
2025 Outlook
For the full year 2025, Cadre expects to generate net sales in the range of $624 million to $630 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $112 million and $116 million. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $7 million to $8 million. Cadre has not provided net income guidance due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, we do not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income guidance.

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 2025 to net income for the fiscal year 2025, 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.

24 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 and (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 2025 to net income for the fiscal year 2025, 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.
