Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On March 10, 2026, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference is a presentation regarding the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

The press release and presentation contain the non-GAAP measures earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to understand its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the investor’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. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within the press release and the presentation. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not adjusted EBITDA. 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.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
