    Caesarstone Ltd. (NASDAQ: CSTE), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality engineered surfaces, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

    Yos Shiran, Caesarstone’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are pleased with the strong cash flow generated from operations. We are making significant progress with the implementation of our global restructuring actions and are executing against our plan to improve our cost structure and optimize our production footprint. I am confident we are taking the right steps to improve our business performance and drive value to our shareholders, partners and customers. Moving into 2024 and beyond, we remain focused on optimizing our business to operate more efficiently, investing in our brand, and introducing innovative products as we create a new foundation to support long-term profitable growth.”

    Mr. Shiran continued, “We are deeply disturbed by the horrible acts of vicious violence and terror that were inflicted by Hamas’ terrorists on October 7th. We are confident that Israel will not only prevail but will also exercise justice towards all who were involved in committing these heinous crimes. We at Caesarstone remain committed to supporting the people of Israel and the rehabilitation of our effected townships. We are operating our business as usual during these challenging times. While this situation has disrupted the market place in Israel, which accounts for approximately 5% of our revenues, we have taken the steps necessary to ensure business continuity and have not experienced any material impact to our strategy, global operations or Israeli production operations. We are monitoring the situation closely and see no major impediments to continue serving our customers globally.”

    Nahum Trost, Caesarstone’s Chief Financial Officer added, “We have now generated more than $53 million in cash flow from operations year-to-date to support our business transformation even as we navigate complex market dynamics across our global footprint. As promised, we produced a higher sequential gross margin. In addition, we generated positive adjusted EBITDA during the quarter and currently expect to generate similar Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter despite the near-term reduction in Israel revenues due to the war on terror.”

    Third Quarter 2023 Results

    Revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $142.4 million, compared to $180.7 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, third quarter revenue was down 20.3% year-over-year mainly due to lower volume. Volumes were primarily impacted by global economic headwinds, particularly in renovation and remodeling channels, across the Company’s main regions and the competitive landscape, resulting in lower demand.

    Gross margin in the third quarter of 2023 was 19.1% compared to 23.0% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter was 19.8% compared to 23.1% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross margin resulted from lower revenues, increased manufacturing unit costs due to lower fixed cost absorption mainly related to lower capacity utilization. This was partially offset by lower shipping costs and the benefits of an improved production footprint.

    Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $29.2 million, or 20.5% of revenue, compared to $38.5 million, or 21.3% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The higher percentage is primarily attributable to lower revenues. Excluding legal settlements and loss contingencies and restructuring expenses, operating expenses were 23.7% of revenue, compared to 20.9% in the prior year quarter.

    Operating loss in the third quarter of 2023 was $2.0 million compared to operating income of $3.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease mainly reflects lower gross margin.

    Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2023, which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies and for other items, was $1.9 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $13.4 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the operating loss.

    Finance income in the third quarter of 2023 was $1.3 million compared to finance expenses of $4.3 million in the prior year quarter. The difference primarily reflects foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated mainly in new Israeli Shekel that devaluated against the US Dollar, along with higher interest earned on our cash balances.

    Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.9 million compared to net loss of $0.5 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss per share for the third quarter was $0.03 compared to diluted net loss per share of $0.02 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted net loss per share for the third quarter was $0.20 on 34.6 million shares, compared to adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.01 in the prior year quarter on a similar share count.

    Balance Sheet & Liquidity

    During the third quarter, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $28.2 million mainly driven by inventory reductions, compared to operating cash flow of $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s balance sheet included cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits and short-term marketable securities of $79.1 million and total debt to financial institutions of $6.9 million. The Company’s net cash position as of September 30, 2023, was $72.2 million compared to $28.2 million as of December 31, 2022.

    Dividend

    The Company’s dividend policy provides for a quarterly cash dividend of up to 50% of reported net income on a year-to-date basis, less any amount already paid as dividend for the respective period (the “calculated dividend”), subject in each case to approval by the Company’s board of directors. No dividend is paid if it would be less than $0.10 per share. Pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, the Company will not pay a dividend for the third quarter of 2023, based on its reported net loss attributable to controlling interest for the period.

    Outlook

    Based on the actions and initiatives underway, the strong cash flow from operations produced year-to-date, and the expectation to generate additional cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reiterates its full year outlook to generate positive cash flow from operations and to end the year with an improved net cash position. The outlook for the remaining quarter is based on working capital improvements and cost optimization efforts, along with an expectation for similar adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2023 despite the near-term reduction in Israel revenues due to the war on terror.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The non-GAAP measures presented by the Company should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliations of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit, GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA are provided in the schedules to this release. To calculate revenues growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company converts actual reported results from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and comparable period. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they present a better measure of the Company's core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company's operating performance.
