Quality

52

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 52 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

54

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 54 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

42

of 100 · stored research reading

What this company does

We are a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of safety equipment and other related products for the law enforcement, first responder, military and nuclear markets. Our equipment provides critical protection to allow its users to safely and securely perform their duties and protect those around them in hazardous or life-threatening situations. Through our dedication to superior quality, we establish a direct covenant with end users that our products will perform and keep them safe when they are most needed. We sell a wide range of products including body armor, explosive ordnance disposal equipment , duty gear, remote handling solutions, containers for the storage of radioactive materials, and ventilation and containment solutions through both direct and indirect channels. In addition, through our owned distribution, we serve as a one-stop shop for first responders providing equipment we manufacture as well as third-party products including uniforms, optics, boots, firearms, and ammunition. A substantial portion of our diversified product offering is governed by rigorous safety standards and regulations. Demand for our products is driven by technological advancement as well as recurring modernization and replacement cycles for the equipment to maintain its efficiency, effective performance, and regulatory compliance.

Domestically, we are a top provider of safety holsters and soft body armor for first responders, as well as a top provider of nuclear safety solutions. Globally, we are a leading provider of explosive ordnance disposal technician equipment. We believe we have achieved these positions through our high-quality standards, innovation and a direct connection to the end users. We service the ever-changing needs of our end users by investing in research and development for new product innovation and technical advancements that continually raise the standards for safety equipment in the markets we serve. Our target end user base includes state, local, and international law enforcement, fire and rescue, explosive ordnance disposal technicians, commercial nuclear power plants, emergency medical technicians ("EMT"), fishing and wildlife enforcement and departments of corrections, as well as federal agencies including the U.S. Department of State ("DoS"), U.S. Department of War ("DoW"), U.S. Department of Interior ("DoI"), U.S. Department of Justice ("DoJ"), U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), U.S. Department of Corrections ("DoC"), the Department of Energy ("DoE"), numerous foreign government agencies and other companies involved in the nuclear industry. We have a large and diverse customer base, with no individual customer representing more than 10% of our total revenue.

Our mission that binds our leading brands as one is Together, We Save Lives. This mission lives in the hearts and minds of our associates around the world and remains in the forefront as we innovate new products and services and focus on processes to bring high quality standards to our customers. In our law enforcement and military focused brands, we are committed to honoring those who put their lives in danger through the SAVES CLUB , which pays homage to first responders who experience a life-threatening incident in the line of work in which our armor or duty gear contributes to saving their lives. The SAVES CLUB currently has over 2,274 members and counting.

Our mission is supported by our Cadre Operating Model ("COM"). The COM is a behavior-based, leadership centric, operating model that enables us to create greater value for our customers and stakeholders. It guides how we work, innovate, solve problems, improve and engage with each other, our customers and our communities.
