Insights
Cadre pairs steady 2025 growth with bullish 2026 guidance and accretive M&A.
Cadre Holdings delivered 2025 net sales of $610.3 million and net income of $44.1 million, with gross margin expanding to 42.5%. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $111.7 million, showing healthy profitability despite higher selling and acquisition-related expenses.
Management’s 2026 outlook is notably stronger: net sales guidance of $736–$758 million and adjusted EBITDA of $136–$141 million imply roughly low‑20% growth at the midpoints. This is underpinned by recent acquisitions and ongoing demand across law enforcement, first responder, military and nuclear markets.
The completed acquisition of TYR Tactical on January 30, 2026 is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and margins, while the increased dividend to $0.10 per share quarterly signals confidence in cash generation. Investors can reference the year ended December 31, 2025 results and 2026 guidance as key performance benchmarks.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On March 10, 2026, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to understand its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the investor’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. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, 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.

“2025 marked another year of strong financial and strategic progress for Cadre, underscoring the resilience of our businesses, the market leadership of our brands, and the consistency of our teams’ execution,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “We continued to see strong and recurring demand throughout the year for our suite of leading safety products across our law enforcement, first responder, military and nuclear categories. We delivered higher net sales and profit in 2025, as well as record adjusted EBITDA, while expanding full year gross margin 140 basis points year-over-year. The Cadre operating model drives improvement every day, and we are excited about the potential to unlock further efficiencies and profitability moving forward.”
Mr. Kanders added, “Cadre maintains a relentless focus on disciplined M&A, and we are pleased to have capitalized on two more highly attractive opportunities in 2025. Following the acquisition of Carr's Engineering Division in April, which added scale and a broader international footprint to our nuclear vertical, we took steps to further enhance Cadre's leadership in our core market with the addition of TYR Tactical. A leading provider of plate carriers, vests, hard armor, and shields to tactical teams, TYR has world-class engineering capabilities and a global reach. Looking ahead, we have a robust acquisition pipeline in both the public safety and nuclear markets and intend to continue to grow our diversified portfolio of mission-critical safety businesses through patient and disciplined capital allocation.”
Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Operating Results
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Cadre generated net sales of $167.2 million, as compared to $176.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily a result of higher than normal shipments in the prior year due to the cyber incident in the third quarter of 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Cadre generated net sales of $610.3 million, as compared to $567.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly driven by recent acquisitions and higher demand for duty gear products, partially offset by a decline in EOD products and existing nuclear safety products.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Cadre generated gross profit of $72.6 million, as compared to $77.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Cadre generated gross profit of $259.6 million, as compared to $233.5 million for the prior year period.
Gross profit margin was 43.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 43.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, mainly driven by lower volumes and an increase in inventory step-up amortization, partially offset by favorable pricing net of material inflation. Gross profit margin was 42.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 41.1% for the prior year period.
Net income was $11.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $13.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of decreased gross profit year over year.
Net income was $44.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $36.1 million for the prior year period, primarily as a result of increased gross profit, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses from acquisitions, acquisition related costs, interest expense, and stock compensation expense.
Cadre generated $34.4 million of adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $38.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 21.9% for the prior year period.
Cadre generated $111.7 million of adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $104.8 million for the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 18.5% for the prior year period.
Product segment gross margin was 44.2% and 43.5% for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, respectively, compared to 45.4% and 42.2% for the prior year periods.
Distribution segment gross margin was 21.9% and 22.0% for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, respectively, compared to 21.8% and 22.5% for the prior year periods.
Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.0 million from $124.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to $122.9 million as of December 31, 2025. |
| ● | Total debt increased by $84.1 million from $223.2 million as of December 31, 2024 to $307.3 million as of December 31, 2025. |
| ● | Net debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) increased by $86.1 million from $98.3 million as of December 31, 2024 to $184.4 million as of December 31, 2025. |
| ● | Capital expenditures totaled $3.4 million for the fourth quarter and $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with $1.4 million for the fourth quarter and $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. |
Acquisition of TYR Tactical
On January 30, 2026, Cadre completed its acquisition of TYR Tactical, LLC, a leading global manufacturer of tactical gear and equipment for military, law enforcement, and government agencies worldwide. The addition of TYR Tactical is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and adjusted EBITDA margins.
Increased Dividend
On January 20, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, or $0.40 per share on an annualized basis, which represents an increase of $0.02 per share, or 5.3% per share, over the previous annualized dividend of $0.38 per share. Cadre's dividend payment was made on February 13, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of January 30, 2026. The declaration of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, Cadre expects to generate net sales in the range of $736 million to $758 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $136 million and $141 million. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $10 million to $14 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 and (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin. 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 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, 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.

| 25 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 and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA margin. 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 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, 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.
