Cadre Holdings Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Achieved Revenue, Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA Growth; Expanded Gross and Adjusted EBITDA Margins

Reaffirms 2023 Full-Year Guidance

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 9, 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 months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Net sales of $111.7 million for the first quarter

●

Gross profit margin of 41.7% for the first quarter

●

Net income of $7.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the first quarter

●

Adjusted EBITDA of $18.6 million for the first quarter

●

Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.6% for the first quarter

●

Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share in April 2023

“Following a record year of net sales and adjusted EBITDA, our strong first quarter results reflect continued strategic execution and sustained demand for our mission-critical safety and survivability equipment,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “Driven by our entrenched positions in law enforcement, first responder and military markets, as well as our commitment to innovation, we have exceeded our pricing growth target every quarter since going public. In addition to generating year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth of 31% in the first quarter, we have maintained a focus on margin expansion, as we further implemented our resilient and proven operating model. Notably, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA margins increased 320 and 300 basis points, respectively.”

Mr. Kanders added, “Supported by macro tailwinds related to increasing public safety budgets and favorable industry dynamics, we have reaffirmed our guidance and believe we are ideally positioned to execute strategic objectives focused on accelerating growth and further enhancing our market leadership over the long-term. While the current M&A environment has not allowed for deal making thus far in 2023, we remain confident that attractive opportunities in line with our key criteria will materialize this year. We have a decades-long track record taking a patient and disciplined approach to M&A and will continue to actively evaluate potential transactions, complementing our core organic growth initiatives.”

First Quarter 2023 Operating Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Cadre generated net sales of $111.7 million, as compared to $104.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly driven by recent acquisitions, armor and duty gear products demand, and agency demand for hard goods through our Distribution segment, partially offset by shipment timing for our EOD products.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Cadre generated gross profit of $46.6 million, as compared to $40.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Gross profit margin was 41.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to 38.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, mainly driven by favorable pricing above material inflation, productivity and product mix.

Net income was $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $10.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from the change in year over year revenue and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Cadre generated $18.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $14.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to 13.6% for the prior year period.

Product segment gross profit margin was 43.6% for the first quarter compared to 40.1% for the prior year period.

Distribution segment gross profit margin was 24.2% for the first quarter compared to 24.6% for the prior year period.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

●

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.0 million from $45.3 million as of December 31, 2022 to $48.3 million as of March 31, 2023.

●

Total debt decreased by $3.5 million from $149.7 million as of December 31, 2022, to $146.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

●

Net debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) decreased by $6.5 million from $104.4 million as of December 31, 2022 to $97.9 million as of March 31, 2023.

●

Capital expenditures totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Dividend

On April 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 May 19, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of May 5, 2023.

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. 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.
