“Our third quarter and year to date 2021 financial results highlight Cadre’s ongoing success capitalizing on our leading positions in large and growing markets with recurring demand characteristics, as well our ability to generate strong operating cash flow,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “We continue to build on Cadre’s impressive track record of margin expansion and have improved gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA margins in the year to date period by 250 and 300 basis points, respectively.”
Mr. Kanders continued, “With the recent completion of our successful IPO, we have achieved an important milestone in our company’s storied history that dates back over 55 years. We believe that we are in a strong position to take advantage of the attractive tailwinds driving demand for Cadre’s mission critical first responder products, as we focus on seeking to accelerate growth organically, as well as through our robust acquisition pipeline. As part of our disciplined capital allocation approach, we are also pleased to have implemented a regular quarterly dividend policy.”
