Newest figures come from the 10-Q for Q1 FY2027, filed Aug 12, 2026. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the CEPL SEC filings page.
Capstone Energy Plus, Inc. (CEPL) reported $103.1M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 5.4% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue growth is now producing accounting profit, but receivables and financing needs prevent that profit from becoming cash.
Gross margin reached 31.9% while operating margin turned positive at 3.2% in FY2026. Yet operating cash flow was-$2.5M as accounts receivable rose 83.5%, showing reported profitability still depends on cash tied up in working capital.
Liabilities were 139.9% of assets in FY2026, up from 110.4% in FY2025, so expansion is being financed more heavily by obligations than by equity. The current ratio improved to 1.0x from 0.7x, but short-term assets still did not fully cover short-term liabilities.
