Caesarstone (NASDAQ:CSTE), a global pioneer in quartz and porcelain surfaces, reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $87.9 million, or $2.55 per share, as it finalized major components of its multi-year strategic transformation.

The loss was primarily driven by $45.7 million in non-cash impairment charges and $3.1 million in restructuring expenses associated with the permanent closure of its Bar-Lev manufacturing plant in Israel.

Excluding these one-time items and asset impairments, the company’s adjusted loss stood at 48 cents per share.

Revenue for the period was $94.4 million, a 3.5% decrease from the $97.9 million reported in the prior-year quarter, yet it surpassed the average analyst estimate of $92 million.

The 2025 fiscal year marked a turning point for Caesarstone’s business model.

By shuttering its Bar-Lev facility and shifting production to a global network of third-party manufacturing partners, the company aimed to eliminate high fixed costs.

This transition is expected to generate annualized cash savings of approximately $20 million to $22 million once fully implemented.

Total annualized savings from all cost-mitigation efforts since 2023 are now estimated to reach $100 million.

For the full year 2025, Caesarstone reported a net loss of $137.5 million, or $3.98 per share.

Revenue reached $397.2 million.
