Cadre Holdings Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Completes Second Accretive Acquisition Since IPO with Agreement to Add Leading Supplier of Chemical Illumination Solutions to U.S. and NATO Military Forces

Raises Guidance to Full Year 2022 Net Sales of $444.0 to $452.0 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $72.5 to $77.5 Million Based on Continued Execution of Strategic Objectives

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, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Net sales of $104.4 million for the first quarter
  • Gross profit margin of 38.5% for the first quarter
  • Net loss of $10.2 million, including $23.6 million stock-based compensation expense, or $0.30 per share, for the first quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million for the first quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.6% for the first quarter
  • Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share in April 2022
  • Orders backlog increased $3.3 million from year end 2021

“Following a year of record net sales and adjusted EBITDA, we continue to capitalize on attractive long-term tailwinds and recurring demand drivers in our entrenched mission-critical first responder markets,” said Warren Kanders, CEO and Chairman. “During the quarter, we achieved pricing growth that significantly exceeded our target, generated strong adjusted EBITDA conversion, and increased our backlog substantially. In the second half of the year, we expect a more favorable product portfolio mix and based on our success executing strategic objectives focused on accelerating growth we have increased our full year 2022 outlook.”

Mr. Kanders added, “Our resilient operating model continues to drive strong free cash flow generation that is enabling us to capitalize on attractive opportunities to unlock long-term shareholder value. In addition to January’s accretive acquisition of a premiere duty gear brand, which further expanded our international presence, we are excited to acquire the world leader in chemical light solutions for U.S. and NATO military forces. In a short period of time, we have delivered on the strategy we laid out to investors, adding high margin companies with leading market positions and strong recurring revenues and cash flows. Importantly, we maintain a robust acquisition pipeline, complementing our core organic growth initiatives.”

First Quarter 2022 Operating Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Cadre generated net sales of $104.4 million, as compared to $110.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decline was primarily the result of a large US Federal duty gear shipment in last year’s first quarter, combined with strong commercial demand and higher demand for crowd control products in the comparable period last year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Cadre generated gross profit of $40.2 million, as compared to $44.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Gross profit margin was 38.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 39.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, mainly driven by less favorable portfolio mix, partially offset by price.

Net loss was $10.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net income of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from the change in year over year revenue and stock-based compensation expense of $23.6 million.

Cadre generated $14.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $20.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 18.3% for the prior year period.

Product segment gross margin was 40.1% for the first quarter compared to 40.7% for the prior year period.

Distribution segment gross margin was 24.6% for the first quarter compared to 25.3% for the prior year period.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $24.0 million from $33.9 million as of December 31, 2021 to $9.9 million as of March 31, 2022.
  • Total debt decreased by $3.3 million from $159.7 million as of December 31, 2021, to $156.4 million as of March 31, 2022.
  • Net Debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) increased by $20.7 million from $125.8 million as of December 31, 2021, to $146.5 million as of March 31, 2022.
  • Capital expenditures totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Acquisition of Cyalume Technologies

On May 5, 2022, Cadre announced the completion of its accretive acquisition of Cyalume Technologies, a leading manufacturer of proprietary chemical illumination solutions for military, first responder and other commercial applications. The purchase price for the acquisition was $35.0 million, subject to customary adjustments for net working capital, transaction expenses and indebtedness, and was funded through a draw on its existing credit facilities.

Dividend

On April 21, 2022, 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 13, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of May 2, 2022. The declaration of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

2022 Outlook Update

Cadre increased its full-year guidance and expects to generate net sales in 2022 of between $444.0 million and $452.0 million and adjusted EBITDA in 2022 of between $72.5 and $77.5 million. Cadre expects EBITDA conversion in the range of 92-95% for the full year.
