Cadre Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Achieves Record Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $22.8 Million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 18.8%

Expects Full-Year 2023 Net Sales of $427 to $484 Million and Raises 2023 Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA Range to $80 to $84 Million

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 8, 2023 – Cadre Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CDRE) ("Cadre" or "the Company"), a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of safety and survivability equipment for first responders, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net sales of $121.1 million for the second quarter; net sales of $232.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023
Gross profit margin of 41.9% for the second quarter; gross profit margin of 41.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023
Net income of $11.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the second quarter; net income of $18.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023
Adjusted EBITDA of $22.8 million for the second quarter; Adjusted EBITDA of $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.8% for the second quarter; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023
Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share in July 2023

“Our significant momentum continued in the second quarter, as we generated improvements in quarterly net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and net income both sequentially and year-over-year,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “Based on outstanding strategic execution and strong and recurring demand for our best-in-class mission-critical safety and survivability equipment, we are pleased to increase our full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA outlook. We continued to make progress expanding margins in the second quarter, driven by further implementation of our resilient and proven operating model. Our Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.8% was our highest since going public, with gross margins increasing 530 basis points compared to last year.”

Mr. Kanders added, “The consistency and strength of our financial results are a testament to Cadre’s innovative product offering, premium brands, and superior execution, underpinned by leading positions in law enforcement, first responder and military markets. We remain on track to deliver record full year net sales in 2023 and are ideally positioned to capitalize on organic and inorganic opportunities ahead to further enhance our market leadership over the long-term. As we continue to actively evaluate a robust pipeline of potential M&A transactions, we are steadfast in our patient and disciplined approach and focus on high margin companies with leading market positions and strong recurring revenues and cash flows.”

Second Quarter and Six-Month 2023 Operating Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Cadre generated net sales of $121.1 million, as compared to $118.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of the Cyalume acquisition, armor and holster volume, and agency demand for hard goods, partially offset by timing for our EOD products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cadre generated net sales of $232.8 million, as compared to $222.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly driven by recent acquisitions, armor and holster volume, and agency demand for hard goods, partially offset by timing for our EOD products.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Cadre generated gross profit of $50.7 million, as compared to $43.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cadre generated gross profit of $97.4 million, as compared to $83.4 million for the prior year period.


Gross profit margin was 41.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 36.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, mainly driven by favorable pricing, favorable product mix, prior year amortization of inventory step up related to acquisitions and productivity net of inflation. Gross profit margin was 41.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 37.5% for the prior year period.

Net income was $11.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from the change in year-over-year revenue and the increase in gross profit margin.

Net income was $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $5.7 million for the prior year period, primarily due to the change in year-over-year revenue, the increase in gross profit margin, and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Cadre generated $22.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $18.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 15.6% for the prior year period.

Cadre generated $41.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $32.6 million for the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 14.6% for the prior year period.

Product segment gross margin was 43.7% and 43.6% for the second quarter and first half of 2023, respectively, compared to 39.0% and 39.5% for the prior year periods.

Distribution segment gross margin was 23.1% and 23.6% for the second quarter and first half of 2023, respectively, compared to 18.2% and 21.4% for the prior year periods.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.5 million from $45.3 million as of December 31, 2022 to $55.8 million as of June 30, 2023.
Total debt decreased by $7.0 million from $149.7 million as of December 31, 2022, to $142.7 million as of June 30, 2023.
Net Debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) decreased by $17.4 million from $104.4 million as of December 31, 2022, to $87.0 million as of June 30, 2023.
Capital expenditures totaled $1.5 million for the second quarter and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $1.4 million for the second quarter and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Dividend

On July 25, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, or $0.32 per share on an annualized basis. Cadre's dividend payment will be made on August 18, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of August 4, 2023. The declaration of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

2023 Outlook Update

As a result of the Company's second-quarter performance and management's outlook for the remainder of the year, Cadre increased its full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance. For the full year 2023, Cadre expects to generate net sales in the range of $472 million to $484 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $80 million to $84 million. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $8.0 million to $9.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

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. 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.
