(NASDAQ: CSTE) is headquartered in Menashe (Kibbutz Sdot-Yam), Israel, and has been in the engineered surfaces business since 1987. The company is widely recognized as a pioneer of engineered quartz surfaces, and today operates as a multi-material producer of premium surfaces used across kitchen and bath remodeling, new construction, and broader architectural applications. From a business perspective, Caesarstone serves both end-markets (homeowners, builders, commercial contractors) indirectly through a network of fabricators, resellers, and distributors. The company’s go-to-market model typically combines a direct sales force with independent distributors across regions including the United States, Australia, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This approach helps the company match local demand cycles for countertops, renovation projects, and flooring/cladding applications. Product-wise, Caesarstone manufactures engineered quartz slabs (the flagship product line) primarily for countertops. Quartz surfaces are also used for vanity tops, wall panels, backsplashes, floor tiles, stairs, and other interior surfaces, as well as certain outdoor and exterior-facing applications depending on product design and installation requirements. In addition to quartz, Caesarstone offers porcelain surfaces under the Lioli brand, which are used for flooring and cladding. In terms of materials and cost drivers (BOM), the company’s engineered quartz products generally rely on quartz (sourced from external quartz manufacturers), polyester binders, pigments/colorants, and related processing inputs. Procurement and input cost volatility, shipping/transport costs, and manufacturing energy and consumables can materially affect gross margin. Downstream logistics are also important because slabs and finished surfacing products are bulky and require careful handling and packaging to maintain appearance and reduce breakage. Financially, the provided latest TTM snapshot indicates the company has been operating with negative profitability metrics (e.g., negative margins such as gross margin around 19.7%, but negative EBIT/operating/net profit margins). Cash flow indicators and free cash flow yields shown in the snapshot are also negative, which suggests that recent periods have been challenging from an earnings-to-cash conversion standpoint. The snapshot also reflects moderate liquidity (e.g., current ratio above 1) and some balance-sheet leverage (debt ratios reported in the dataset). Key leadership includes CEO Yosef (Yos) Shiran, who has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2023. Overall, Caesarstone’s strategic positioning centers on premium surface design, durable multi-application use (indoor/outdoor where applicable), and maintaining distribution reach through both direct selling and partner networks, while managing the operational and cost structure inherent in manufacturing engineered stone and porcelain surfaces.ExpandCollapse

Financial Statements of CSTE

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$397.2M	-10.4%	+8.8%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$-137.5M	-220.9%	+26.2%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+18.4%	-15.4%	+7.6%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	-12.9%	-36.9%	+54.0%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	-34.6%	-258.1%	+32.2%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$-45.1M	-310.3%	+121.8%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	-11.4%	-334.6%	+120.1%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	94.0%	+90.4%	+5.2%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.83x	-20.3%	-6.7%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$398.4M	-27.4%	-4.6%

Q1 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Greetings, and welcome to the Caesarstone First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Brad Cray of ICR. Thank you. You may begin. Brad Cray: Thank you, operator, and good morning to everyone on the line. I am joined by Yos Shiran, Caesarstone's Chief Executive Officer; and Nahum Trost, Caesarstone's Chief Financial Officer. Certain statements in today's conference call and responses to various questions may constitute forward-looking statements. We caution you that such statements reflect only the company's current expectations and that actual events or results may differ materially. For more information, please refer to the risk factors contained in the company's most recent annual report on Form 20-F and subsequent filings with the SEC. In addition, on this call, the company will make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss income, adjusted net loss income per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and constant currency. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the company's first quarter 2026 earnings release, which is posted on the company's Investor Relations website. On today's call, Yos will discuss our business activity and Nahum will then cover additional details regarding financial results. Thank you, and I would now like to turn the call over to Yos. Please go ahead. Yosef Shiran: Thank you, Brad, and good morning, everyone. Our first quarter results reflected meaningful structural progress in our transformation. Gross margin expanded by 100 basis points despite lower revenue, supported by our transition to a third-party manufacturing model and a more optimized production footprint. This provides further evidence that our restructuring actions are reshaping the company's earnings profile. With the closure of Bar-Lev, quartz production is now fully transitioned to our global manufacturing partner network, excluding porcelain, which continues to be produced at our Lioli facility in India. We continue to expect these actions to generate annualized cash savings of approximately $22 million by 2027, bringing total savings since 2023 to more than $100 million. Global revenues were approximately $89 million, down 15% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, reflecting macroeconomic headwinds and competitive pressures, particularly in North America. In North America, we are taking targeted commercial actions to improve channel productivity and strengthen key customer relationships. Australia continued to be a strong performing region, delivering solid revenue growth as we recapture our leading market position following the introduction of our zero silica ICON products. This reinforces that our brand and innovation can drive renewed commercial momentum when aligned with market needs. The regional conflict in the Middle East, …
