MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, potential growth or growth prospects, future research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "may," "will," "estimates," "potential," "continues," "anticipates," "intends," "expects," "could," "would," "projects," "plans," "targets," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in "Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Quarterly Report and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any duty, to update such statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report or to conform statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference herein and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
This Quarterly Report also contains or may contain estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and the markets for our products, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth rates. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances reflected in this information. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained these industry, business, market and other data from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by third parties, industry and general publications, government data and similar sources. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which these data are derived.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. For more information, see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that impact our business. In particular, we encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors". These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by our forward-looking statements contained in this report. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and we do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our 2025 Form 10-K. Throughout this discussion, unless the context specifies or implies otherwise the terms the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to the business and operations of Capstone Holding Corp and its operating subsidiary, TotalStone, LLC (dba Instone).
All dollar amounts stated herein are in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.
Overview
Capstone Holding Corp., incorporated in Delaware in 1987 as a domestic corporation, is a national, technology-enabled building products distribution and installation platform. Through our three operating subsidiaries - Instone (TotalStone, LLC), Canadian Stone Industries (Fraser Canyon Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries, "CSI"), and Carolina Stone (Carolina Stone Distributors, LLC) - we distribute and install thin veneer stone, natural stone, manufactured stone, and related masonry and hardscape products for residential and commercial construction markets across 38 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.
Instone, founded over 30 years ago, is the largest wholesale distributor of thin veneer masonry products in the United States, operating from five distribution centers in the Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and West Coast. CSI is a leading wholesale distributor of natural and manufactured stone products in Canada, operating from two locations in British Columbia and Ontario. Carolina Stone distributes and installs thin veneer stone and related masonry products for residential, commercial, and multi-family projects in the Southeast United States from two locations in North Carolina. Together, our platform offers over 3,000 SKUs across nine warehouse and distribution center locations, serving a diverse base of masonry dealers, contractors, builders, and homeowners.
Historically, the product mix for Instone was heavily concentrated on Cultured Stone®, in 2018 Cultured Stone® comprised almost 80% of our total revenue. Through acquisition and product expansions, we have increased our product offering to our customers. This expansion has made Instone a more attractive supplier to new and existing dealers.
We provide value to our dealers by making the procurement and logistics process easy for product lines that are otherwise challenging for dealers to manage if they were to purchase directly with a manufacturer or quarry. Our website provides efficiency, and we believe our product offering provides options and ability for vendor consolidation and our logistical capabilities provide cost effective and efficient delivery, typically within a week or less.
A key differentiating factor for our strategy is that we own or control five of the eight brands we sell. Our products include stone veneer, landscape stone, and modular masonry fireplaces. The brands we distribute which we do not control are Cultured Stone®, Dutch Quality®, and Isokern®. The brands we distribute which we own or control include Aura™, Pangea Stone®, Toro Stone™, Beon Stone®, and Interloc™.
We operate in a market environment where there are about 7,000 building products dealers, most of which are privately held. Many of these dealers are not able to efficiently purchase or optimize storage space, which constrains their ability to sell the diverse range of products we offer. Our website enables dealers to buy in the quantities they require thus driving a more optimal level of inventory while also significantly reducing logistical challenges. We believe the ability for customers to buy in the quantities they need across many product lines instead of buying single product lines form different manufacturers helps them manage cash and, in turn, allows them to offer a higher level of service to their own customers.
We intend to continue to grow our business organically and through successfully integrating well-timed acquisitions.
Recent Developments
On March 7, 2025, the Company closed its public offering (the "March 2025 Public Offering") of 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the "Public Offering Shares"), which were registered under the Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284105) which was declared effective by the SEC on February 14, 2025. The Public Offering Shares were sold at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, which generated net proceeds of approximately $3,252,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
In addition to its March 2025 Public Offering, the Company also executed various debt and equity restructuring transactions in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
On August 22, 2025, the Company completed its membership interest purchase agreement of the Carolina Stone Holdings. The aggregate purchase price of the Holdings Membership Interest is (i) $2,625,000 in cash, subject to adjustment set forth in Section 2.6 of the Membership Purchase Agreement, plus (ii) a seller note in the original principal amount of $1,250,000, plus (iii) the amount payable pursuant to the terms of the earn-out agreement. The Company transferred $2,501,500 in cash to the Seller, representing the aggregate purchase price of $2,625,000 less $124,000 for the preliminary working capital adjustment as set forth in Section 2.6 of the Purchase Agreement.
Equity Line of Credit
On May 14, 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement with the Equity Line Investor (as defined in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report), pursuant to which the Equity Line Investor committed to purchase up to $20.0 million in shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions as described in Note 11.

The first Convertible Note was issued in the original principal amount of approximately $3,272,966 (the "Convertible Note Financing"). The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, in certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes at an initial conversion price per share of $1.72. The Company received gross proceeds of $3,000,000, prior to the deduction of transaction related expenses, from the initial closing of the Convertible Note Financing. Concurrently with the Convertible Note Financing and the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement and a security agreement with the Buyer.
On August 14, 2025, pursuant to Section 7(h) of the Conversion Note, the Company and the Buyer agreed, pursuant to a Conversion Price Voluntary Adjustment Notice executed by both parties, to reduce the Conversion Price of the Convertible Note with regard to $1,363,736 of principal of the Convertible Note to $1.00 per share starting on October 6, 2025 through the maturity date of the Convertible Note.

Fraser Canyon / CSI Acquisition
On December 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the Fraser Canyon / Canadian Stone Industries ("CSI") business through two transactions: TotalStone, LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Continental Stone Industries, Inc., and a subsidiary of TotalStone acquired all of the outstanding shares of Fraser Canyon Holdings Inc.

On September 30, 2025, following approval by the Audit Committee of the Board, the Company and each of BP Peptides and Brookstone Acquisition (collectively, the "Brookstone Lenders"), entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") whereby the Brookstone Lenders agreed to exchange their notes for shares of the Company's newly created Series Z 8% Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series Z Preferred"). Based on the Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the Company's common stock, $0.0005 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of $1.32 on the day prior to the parties entering into the Exchange Agreement, BP Peptides received 642,364 Series Z Preferred shares and Brookstone Acquisition received 825,168 Series Z Preferred shares. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect the issuance of the Series Z shares as of March 31, 2026.
On September 30, 2025, following Board approval, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series Z 8% Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with up to three million five hundred thousand (3,500,000) Series Z Preferred shares being authorized for issuance.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Series Z Preferred shares are not convertible into shares of Common Stock, have voting rights of one vote per share and will vote together as a single class with the Common Stock shareholders. Each share of Series Z Preferred will accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum based on the $1.32 stated value per share of the Series Z Preferred, accruing daily and payable, at the sole option of the Board, either in cash or payment-in-kind via the issuance of further shares of Series Z Preferred. The Series Z Preferred shares are redeemable upon the earlier of the seven year anniversary of the issuance of the shares or the occurrence of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation)
On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a fee waiver agreement with Brookstone Partners IAC under which Brookstone agreed to waive its $400.0 thousand annual management fee for fiscal year 2026, and the Company's Chief Executive Officer agreed to reduce his annual base cash salary to $1.00, in each case effective January 1, 2026.
On February 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with 3i, LP ("3i") modifying the Senior Secured Convertible Note dated July 29, 2025. The Letter Agreement deferred the $606,054 installment payment originally due January 22, 2026 to the maturity date.

Components of Results of Operations
Sales
Our sales primarily consist of distributing manufactured and natural stone cladding products, natural stone landscape products, and related goods for residential and commercial construction through a dealer network in 38 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. For distribution sales the Company recognizes revenue when control over the products has been transferred to the customer, and the Company has a present right to payment. For installation and project-based work, the Company recognizes revenue over time as performance obligations are satisfied. For production and custom residential jobs, revenue is generally recognized upon completion, as substantially all projects are short-term in nature. A small portion of commercial projects are recognized based on progress toward completion, typically through monthly billings.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold includes the purchase price of material, freight, miscellaneous import fees (if applicable), warranty and other expenses that are directly attributable to our distributed, fabricated and installed products. The Company also includes amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling and shipping and handling expenses in cost of goods sold.
Gross profit is equal to revenue less cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin is equal to gross profit divided by revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries and benefits, advertising and marketing expenses, travel and entertainment, facility-related costs, investor relations, legal and consulting fees.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income and expenses consist primarily of management fees and interest expenses on our line of credit and debt.

Sales
Sales were $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The period-over-period change in revenue was $4.7 million, primarily driven by the full-period contributions from the Carolina Stone (August 2025) and Fraser Canyon (December 2025) acquisitions. Revenue from the Company's legacy Instone operations was approximately flat period-over-period; the increase reflects approximately $2.4 million contributed by Carolina Stone and approximately $2.5 million contributed by Fraser Canyon.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold changed by $3.1 million or 47.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The change in cost of goods sold was driven primarily by the change in sales attributable to the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions.
Gross profit margin was 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 16.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The improvement reflects gross margin gains within the Company's TotalStone segment, together with the addition of Carolina Stone, whose stone distribution and installation mix carries a higher gross margin of approximately 37.8%.
Selling general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses changed by $1.7 million or 62.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by the full-period effect of the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions and transaction-related professional fees of $99 thousand recognized during the period, partly offset by the January 2026 cost rationalization program initiated by the Company.
Transaction expenses
Acquisition-related transaction expenses changed by $99 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily related to professional fees associated with subsequent-event activities and the integration of recently acquired businesses.
Interest expense
Interest expense changed by $0.6 million or 197.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs on the Company's Senior Secured Convertible Notes.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense changed by $2 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Segment Results
The Company has two reportable segments - TotalStone (which includes the legacy Instone distribution business together with Fraser Canyon, acquired December 1, 2025) and Carolina Stone (acquired August 22, 2025). The Company also has corporate-level SG&A expenses, included in Capstone Holding Corp. ("Capstone" or the "Parent"), consisting primarily of board fees, investor relations, filing, legal, insurance, accounting and consulting expenses not identifiable to either reportable segment.

The above discussion of consolidated operating results through operating income (loss) is in substance the operating results of TotalStone for the comparable periods presented. The elimination of selling, general and administrative expenses reflect the elimination of management fees incurred by TotalStone and earned by the Company. The Company classifies the management fee income earned as a component of net non-operating income (expense) and the corresponding income is also eliminated in the Company's consolidated results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital excluding the current portion of long-term debt was $2.9 million and $3.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The $0.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a $2.4 million increase in borrowings under our revolving line of credit and a $2.0 million increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in accounts receivable and a $1.0 million increase in inventory.
The Company primarily funds our operations through cash provided from operations of our building products distribution network and available capacity under our ABL Facility ("Revolver"). Our operating cash flows fluctuate based on seasonality with the first quarter typically a slower period in our calendar year resulting in negative operating cash flows from the building of accounts receivables and inventory levels. During the second half of the year we generate positive operating cash flows as we bring down accounts receivables and inventory levels from seasonal high periods and pay down our Revolver.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $12.7 million outstanding under its Revolver, which matures on June 19, 2026, as extended by the Fifteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated December 19, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum Cash Flow Coverage Ratio under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company received a written waiver of the covenant noncompliance from Beacon Bank & Trust dated May 18, 2026. See Note 10. Management is in discussions with Beacon Bank & Trust regarding a longer-term extension of the Revolver with financial covenants aligned to the Company's anticipated future results.
The liquidity of the Company is largely dependent on our ability to borrow funds on our Revolver. The longer-term extension of the Revolver and future compliance with financial covenants are subject to risks and uncertainties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company currently believes that it will have sufficient working capital to operate for a period of at least one year from the issuance date of the March 31, 2026 interim consolidated financial statements based on future expected results. Future acquisitions may be financed through other forms of financing that will depend on existing conditions.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, access additional capital, and manage its debt maturities. The Senior Secured Convertible Notes mature in July and October 2026. The Company's U.S. revolving credit facility with Beacon Bank & Trust (successor by merger to Berkshire Bank) matures in June 2026, and Canadian Stone Industries' operating loan with TD Bank is subject to annual renewal. The mezzanine term loan with Stream Finance, LLC matures in September 2027. Management is evaluating alternatives to refinance or extend these obligations and believes that the Company's existing cash, availability under its revolving credit facilities, and expected operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing.
Seasonality
The Company historically experiences higher sales during our second and third quarters due to the favorable weather in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States for new construction and remodeling.
