What drove it
- Organic revenue increased 7.6% year over year to approximately $14.0 million in the first two months of the third quarter.
- Organic gross profit rose 6.5% to $3.5 million across July and August 2026.
- Year-to-date organic gross profit rose 6.5% to $12.5 million, outpacing organic revenue growth of 4.6% to $48.1 million.
- Capstone plans to expand its regional warehouse into a full-scale distribution operation, introducing additional product lines and extending Instone's service capabilities to more customers.
- Carolina Stone plans to expand beyond stone into siding through existing customer relationships and infrastructure.
- The Company cited the successful rollout of Eldorado Stone and plans to continue expanding its product offering and distribution across its network.
Concerns
- The July and August 2026 figures are preliminary, unaudited and subject to change.
- The update covers performance through August 31 only and neither the July-August nor year-to-date figures includes September; full third-quarter results may differ.
- The 2025 comparative figures differ from reported consolidated results because the organic measures include all three businesses on a comparable basis as if each had been owned throughout both periods.
- Results for Carolina Stone and Canadian Stone Industries before their acquisition dates are from sellers’ records and have not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
- The Company identified risks relating to liquidity and access to capital, financial covenants, indebtedness refinancing or repayment, substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, acquisition timing and integration, seasonal demand, macroeconomic conditions and execution.
- The Company does not intend to provide interim updates on a fixed schedule.
What to watch
- September performance and the full third-quarter results to be reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
- Whether organic gross profit continues to grow faster than organic revenue.
- Execution of the Pacific Northwest distribution expansion, Carolina Stone siding expansion and broader product rollout.
- The Company’s liquidity, access to capital, financial covenants and indebtedness refinancing or repayment.
Analysis
Capstone reported a preliminary two-month operating update for July and August 2026 rather than full third-quarter results. Organic revenue increased 7.6% year over year to approximately $14.0 million, and organic gross profit increased 6.5% to $3.5 million. In the reconciliation table, consolidated net sales were 13,960 and consolidated gross profit was 3,507, each stated in dollars in thousands and unaudited.
The year-to-date data through August show organic revenue growth of 4.6% to $48.1 million and organic gross profit growth of 6.5% to $12.5 million. Management emphasized that gross profit growth outpaced revenue growth both year to date and in the July-August update. The company characterized this result as growth despite contraction in the broader building-products market.
The non-GAAP organic measures include Instone, Carolina Stone and Canadian Stone Industries on a comparable basis as if all had been owned throughout both periods. This explains the difference between the 2025 organic and reported consolidated comparative figures. Carolina Stone was acquired on August 22, 2025, and Canadian Stone Industries was acquired on December 1, 2025; the pre-acquisition results used in the comparisons came from sellers’ records and were not audited or reviewed by Capstone’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Management’s stated growth initiatives are to turn the Pacific Northwest warehouse into a full-scale distribution operation, add product lines, extend Instone’s service capabilities, add siding at Carolina Stone, and continue expanding product offerings and distribution. The company cited the Eldorado Stone rollout as evidence that products can be scaled through its distribution platform, with the stated objective of adding revenue without a proportionate increase in the cost base.
There was no financial guidance in the release. Investors should focus on September and the eventual full-third-quarter Form 10-Q because this update excludes September and Capstone explicitly stated that full-third-quarter results may differ. The figures remain preliminary and subject to completion of financial closing procedures, while the filing also highlights liquidity, covenant, debt refinancing or repayment, going-concern, integration and macroeconomic risks.
Management, verbatim
We felt that more current information would help shareholders understand the Company’s position, amid broader uncertainty in the housing and building products market. Our performance in July and August indicates strong progress against our growth and profitability objectives. Year to date, organic gross profit (6.5%) is growing faster than organic revenue (4.6%). We plan to expand our product portfolio and geographic reach through our existing distribution infrastructure, with the objective of generating additional revenue without a proportionate increase in our cost base.
Matthew Lipman, Chief Executive Officer
Last quarter’s results demonstrated the strength of our platform, as organic revenue and gross profit grew despite challenging market conditions. Our preliminary July and August results indicate that momentum continued into the third quarter. We look forward to advancing our capital-efficient growth strategy in the months ahead.
