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

Yos Shiran, Caesarstone’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We were pleased to produce a second straight quarter of strong operating cash flow and an increase in our net cash position, which remain important focus areas for Caesarstone. We are moving swiftly with the implementation of our comprehensive restructuring plan and advancing our strategic cost reduction efforts, which will become increasingly evident in coming quarters. The closure of our Sdot-Yam manufacturing facility marked a pivotal step, laying the groundwork for improved efficiencies and streamlined production within our manufacturing infrastructure as we simultaneously shift a portion of production to our strategic network of third party manufactures in the Far East. During the quarter we made significant operational investments to develop and reengineer products to put us in an improved position to meet our current expectations of evolving regulatory changes in the Australian market. We are on track to generate a full year of positive cash flow from operations and we expect to significantly improve our profitability as the year progresses. We will continue to execute our strategy to create a more agile, innovative and profitable Company as we work to grow our revenues and deliver solid returns for our shareholders in the future.

Nahum Trost, Caesarstone’s Chief Financial Officer added, “Our restructuring actions and strategic plan are in motion to achieve a step change in the Company's cash generating ability. We achieved more than $25 million in cash flow from operations year-to-date, including strong operating cash flow of $17.2 million generated in the second quarter despite significant challenges in the first half of the year that impacted our top and bottom line. Revenues declined amid a tough macro environment for our products in many markets, especially for repair and remodeling projects following several quarters of low turnover of existing homes. Lower revenues, investments in new products, restructuring actions, and certain transitory factors, resulted in a substantial reduction in gross margin and operating income for the quarter. Many of those cost pressures are temporary and not a reflection of core performance. We expect to improve margins as the year progresses and to generate additional cash flow from operations in the second half of 2023. Based on the steps we are taking we are poised to end the year on much stronger footing.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $143.7 million, compared to $180.3 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, second quarter revenue was down 18.4% year-over-year mainly due to lower volume partially offset by the benefit of previously enacted pricing actions. 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 second quarter of 2023 was 8.3% compared to 26.4% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross margin in the second quarter was 9.6% compared to 26.4% 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 and the closing of the Sdot-Yam plant, temporary production inefficiencies, an inventory write down and higher input costs of products sold. This was partially offset by previously enacted pricing actions and lower shipping costs. The temporary production inefficiencies were attributable to significant operational investments to reengineer existing collections to meet the evolving needs of the Company’s market places in certain regions. These operational investments and resulting inefficiencies were largely completed as of the end of the second quarter.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $58.8 million, or 40.9% of revenue, compared to $41.2 million, or 22.8% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The higher percentage is primarily attributable to impairment and restructuring expense of $23.6 million. Excluding legal settlements and loss contingencies and the expenses related to the plant closure, operating expenses were 24.3% of revenue, compared to 22.1% in the prior year quarter.

Operating loss in the second quarter of 2023 was $46.9 million compared to operating income of $6.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease mainly reflects lower gross margin as well as higher operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023, which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies and for other items, was a loss of $13.4 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the operating loss.

Finance income in the second quarter of 2023 was $1.2 million compared to finance income of $6.4 million in the prior year quarter. The difference primarily reflects foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar.

Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the second quarter of 2023 was $52.5 million compared to net income of $11.1 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss per share for the second quarter was $1.52 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.32 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted net loss per share for the second quarter was $0.69 on 34.6 million shares, compared to adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.20 in the prior year quarter on a similar share count.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

During the second quarter, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $17.2 million mainly driven by inventory reductions, compared to cash used in the amount of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. During the quarter, the Company paid down its lines of credit, ending the quarter with full availability on its lines of credit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s balance sheet included cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits and short-term marketable securities of $57.3 million and total debt to financial institutions of $8.3 million. The Company’s net cash position as of June 30, 2023, was $49.0 million compared to $28.2 million as of December 31, 2022.

Manufacturing Facility Network and Cost Optimization Update

As previously announced, on May 9, 2023, the Company approved initial restructuring actions across the Company’s operations, commencing with the closure of the manufacturing facility in Sdot-Yam, Israel, and a reduction in headcount of more than 130 employees mostly associated with this facility and also includes Headquarter functions. This part of the restructuring plan is intended to better align the Company’s organizational structure, streamline global production and drive additional cost efficiencies through an optimized manufacturing footprint.

In connection with the facility closure, the Company incurred restructuring expenses and a one-time impairment charge totaling $23.6 million during the second quarter of 2023. The majority of the amount related to a non-cash write-down on the long term non-cancellable lease agreement related to the facility, valid through 2032, based on Company estimates of its ability to sub lease parts of the Sdot-Yam property. Cash costs related to the facility closure were $2.6 million during the quarter and the Company estimates total cash costs will be in the amount of $5.0 million to $7.0 million related to operations, through mid-2024.

The facility closure is intended to help improve the Company’s profitability and cash flow. As a result of the facility closure, the Company expects to realize annualized cash savings of approximately $10.0 to $15.0 million, with the potential for additional cash savings if subleases are executed on the non-cancellable long-term facility lease agreement. Following the closure of the Sdot-Yam Facility, the Company continues to maintain its high level of service to customers through its remaining manufacturing facilities and its third-party manufacturers.

Beyond the facility closure, the restructuring plan will focus on additional actions that can be taken to improve future profitability and cash flow.

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 second 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 second half of 2023, the Company reiterates its full year outlook to generate positive cash flow from operations and end the year with an improved net cash position. This outlook is based on inventory reductions, other working capital improvements and cost optimization efforts, along with an anticipated significant improvement in profitability in the second half of 2023 compared to the first half of the year.

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.
