We delivered outstanding Q2 results that exceeded our expectations, reflecting continued strong demand trends for our mission critical safety equipment, together with consistent execution and the benefits of the Cadre operating model. Net sales, gross profit, and Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly this quarter, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin that improved 310 basis points year-over-year. Our strong year-to-date financial and operational performance, combined with our record orders backlog and continued momentum entering the second half of the year, gives us increased confidence in our outlook. As a result, we are raising our full-year guidance and remain well positioned to deliver meaningful growth and profitability in 2026 and beyond. We are firmly focused on strengthening our industry-leading safety platform and delivering differentiated capabilities to a growing global customer base. Building on our recent bolt-on acquisition of a recognized holster brand, disciplined M&A remains a core component of our growth strategy. We are actively evaluating a robust pipeline of complementary, mission-critical businesses with leading market positions, strong financial profiles, durable demand characteristics and significant potential for value creation through operational improvement and effective integration.
