CDRE: SCHEDULE 13D/A · ownership disclosure
Warren B. Kanders and Kanders SAF, LLC filed Amendment No. 3 to their Schedule 13D on Cadre Holdings, reporting beneficial ownership of 11,117,928 shares, or approximately 25.8% of the 43,169,635 shares outstanding.
In late August 2026, Kanders SAF sold 200,000 Cadre shares in open-market Rule 144 transactions at prices ranging from roughly $31.26 to $34.00 per share across four tranches.
Separately, on September 25, 2026 Kanders SAF amended its pledge agreement with Bank of America, placing an additional 2,000,000 Cadre shares into a pledged account and unlocking previously unavailable margin borrowing capacity for Kanders. Combined with the existing 3,750,000 shares pledged to Texas Capital Bank, roughly 5.75 million Cadre shares — over 13% of shares outstanding — are now encumbered.
The filing signals incremental insider selling and growing leverage against the stock, a modest negative for other shareholders if share prices fall and trigger margin calls or forced sales.

CDRE: 8-K/A · earnings release
Cadre Holdings filed this Form 8-K/A on August 7, 2026 solely to refurnish a corrected Q2 2026 press release and slide presentation, fixing an error in the calculation of last twelve months adjusted EBITDA, which is shown as $127.3 million; the company stated no other information was changed.
The underlying second quarter results were strong: net sales grew 32% year over year to $207.1 million, adjusted EBITDA jumped 56% to $42.0 million with margin up 310 basis points to 20.3%, while net income of $11.4 million ($0.26 per diluted share) slipped from $12.2 million a year earlier on higher contingent consideration, compensation expense and adverse currency moves.
Orders backlog hit a record $368 million, the second consecutive quarterly record, and Cadre raised full-year 2026 guidance to net sales of $749-$769 million and adjusted EBITDA of $139-$144 million; the board also declared a 19th consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share payable August 14, 2026.
The acquisition-driven strategy carries a cost: net debt rose $136.0 million in six months to $320.3 million (2.5x adjusted EBITDA) and cash fell to $54.0 million after $163.9 million of deal spending, including the April 2026 purchase of Alien Gear Holsters out of a Tedder Industries bankruptcy auction.

CDRE: S-4/A · shelf registration
Cadre Holdings filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-4 (File No. 333-294746, originally filed March 30, 2026) on August 5, 2026, registering 7,500,000 shares of common stock with a maximum aggregate offering price of $241.65 million. The shares are reserved for issuance from time to time as consideration in acquisitions of assets, businesses, or securities — a stock-based acquisition war chest rather than a cash raise.
The company expects to receive no cash proceeds from the shares; instead, consideration may include common stock, cash, notes, or assumed liabilities, with terms set in future prospectus supplements once specific acquisition targets are named. No specific transaction is identified in this amendment.
For context, Cadre had 42,797,451 shares outstanding as of July 31, 2026, and the stock last traded at $30.83 on the NYSE. If the full 7.5 million shares are ultimately issued as acquisition currency, holders face up to roughly 17.5% potential dilution, though nothing is issued until deals are signed.
The amendment itself is procedural: it updates the prospectus and Part II, refreshes the filing fee table (fee of $33,371.86 previously paid; $0 due), and adds KPMG LLP's audit consent. Cadre also reiterated its expected quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share ($0.40 annualized).

CDRE: 10-Q · periodic report
Cadre Holdings' Q2 2026 net sales rose 32% year over year to $207.1 million, driven by the TYR Tactical and Alien Gear acquisitions plus higher demand for nuclear safety, armor, and duty gear products. First-half sales reached $362.6 million, up $75.3 million from a year ago.
Despite the top-line surge, GAAP net income slipped to $11.4 million ($0.26 diluted EPS) from $12.2 million ($0.30) as contingent consideration expense, higher compensation, and adverse FX offset gross profit gains. Adjusted EBITDA, which strips out those items, jumped 56% to $42.0 million.
Orders backlog nearly doubled to $367.7 million from $189.8 million at year-end 2025, boosted by $107.0 million of orders for vehicle blast attenuation seats, blast sensors, and remotely operated vehicles, plus $56.1 million from current-year acquisitions.
The growth came at a cost: cash fell to $54.0 million from $122.9 million as the company funded $163.9 million of acquisitions and drew $75 million on its delayed-draw term loan, lifting total debt principal to $376.0 million. The company maintained its $0.10 quarterly dividend and granted executives 1.9M options and 1.1M RSUs with $60/$80 VWAP hurdles versus a $28.75 grant-date price.

CDRE: 10-Q · periodic report
Cadre Holdings, Inc. reported a 19.5% increase in net sales to $155.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $130.1 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by recent acquisitions, particularly TYR Tactical, LLC, which contributed $15.5 million in net sales.
However, the company's net income decreased by 78.6% to $1.975 million for the quarter, down from $9.248 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net income was mainly due to higher compensation expenses, interest expenses, and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of TYR.
The company's orders backlog increased by $165.6 million to $355.372 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $189.799 million at the end of 2025. This increase was primarily due to large orders for blast attenuation seats and the inclusion of TYR's backlog.
As of March 31, 2026, Cadre Holdings had $365.8 million in total long-term debt, net of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, primarily related to term loan facilities. The company believes its current liquidity and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months.

CDRE: 8-K · earnings release
Cadre Holdings, Inc. reported Q1 2026 net sales of $155.4 million, a 19% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily driven by recent acquisitions, including TYR Tactical and Alien Gear Holsters, and strong demand in duty gear and armor.
The company's gross profit margin for Q1 2026 was 38.7%, down from 43.1% in Q1 2025, due to an increase in inventory step-up amortization and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by favorable pricing.
Cadre's net income for Q1 2026 was $2.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in Q1 2025. The decrease in net income was primarily due to increases in compensation, interest, and transaction expenses.
The company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share in April 2026, maintaining its commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
