Cadre Holdings, Inc. filed an amended report to correct an error in the calculation of its last twelve months adjusted EBITDA in previously released Q2 2026 materials; underlying operating results are unchanged. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net sales were $207.1 million, up 32% from $157.1 million a year earlier, and gross profit was $87.1 million, up 36%.
Gross margin improved to 42.1%. Net income was $11.4 million versus $12.2 million, as higher contingent consideration, compensation and foreign exchange impacts offset stronger gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $42.0 million, with margin expanding to 20.3%. Orders backlog reached a record $368 million. Management raised its 2026 outlook to net sales of $749–$769 million and adjusted EBITDA of $139–$144 million, with expected capital expenditures of $10–$14 million.
For the first half of 2026, operating cash flow increased to $44.7 million, while business acquisitions of $163.9 million contributed to higher total debt and reduced cash and restricted cash to $57.7 million.

Cadre Holdings reported mixed first quarter 2026 results. Net sales rose to $155.4 million, up 19% year-over-year, driven mainly by recent acquisitions, while gross profit increased modestly to $60.2 million. However, gross margin declined to 38.7% from 43.1% and net income fell sharply to $2.0 million from $9.2 million as higher compensation, interest, transaction and related party expenses weighed on earnings.
Adjusted EBITDA edged up to $21.1 million, with margin compressing to 13.6% from 15.8%. The company highlighted a record $355 million orders backlog, up $166 million since the start of the year, helped by the blast attenuation seat contract and the TYR acquisition.

Fourth-quarter 2025 was softer, with net sales of $167.2 million versus $176.0 million a year earlier, partly due to unusually high shipments in late 2024. The company highlighted acquisitions, including Carr's Engineering Division and TYR Tactical, and expects TYR to be immediately accretive to earnings and adjusted EBITDA margins.
For 2026, Cadre projects net sales of $736–$758 million and adjusted EBITDA of $136–$141 million, implying low‑20s percentage growth at the midpoints. The board increased the quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share, or $0.40 annually, up from $0.38.
