Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Kadant Inc. (KAI) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow KAI and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full KAI filings page.
Kadant Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at the 2026 annual meeting on electing two directors, approving a non-binding say-on-pay resolution, and ratifying KPMG LLP as independent auditor. The meeting will be held May 20, 2026, both at the Westford, MA office and via live webcast.
The proxy describes a pay-for-performance program using earnings per share growth, return on equity, and adjusted EBITDA to set bonuses and equity awards. It also highlights 2025 results, including $1.05 billion in revenue, adjusted EBITDA of $216 million, and operating cash flow of $171 million, along with detailed governance, board skills, and sustainability practices.
