Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
​
On March
10, 2022, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the forth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
​
The press release contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), (ii) adjusted EBITDA, (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) adjusted EBITDA conversion rate. The Company believes that 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. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within the 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.
