Capstone Holding (NASDAQ: CAPS) grows Q1 2026 sales but faces losses and Nasdaq bid-price pressure
Capstone Holding Corp. reported higher net sales but continued losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales rose to $12.6 million from $7.9 million a year earlier, driven by acquisitions and growth in stone distribution and installation.
Gross profit increased to $3.0 million, but higher selling and administrative costs of $4.5 million led to an operating loss of $1.5 million and a net loss of $1.9 million, or $(0.21) per share. Operating cash flow was negative $2.8 million, and cash declined to $419 thousand.
Capstone ended the quarter with $53.8 million in assets, including $18.5 million of goodwill, and total debt of about $13.2 million plus $12.7 million drawn on revolving credit facilities. Recent Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions contributed a combined $4.9 million of Q1 2026 revenue.
The company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule and faces upcoming debt maturities and recurring losses. Management plans to use a $20.0 million equity line of credit, banking facilities, cost measures, and a potential reverse stock split to support liquidity and maintain its listing, and concludes these plans alleviate substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Liquidity and going-concern risk: Q1 2026 net loss of $1.9M, negative operating cash flow of $2.8M, high debt (about $13.2M plus $12.7M on revolvers), a Nasdaq bid-price deficiency, and prior goodwill impairment together indicate elevated financial and refinancing risk despite management’s mitigation plans.
Insights
Leverage is high, liquidity tight, and Nasdaq noncompliance adds refinancing risk.
Capstone Holding Corp. shows solid top-line growth, with Q1 2026 net sales of $12.6M versus $7.9M in Q1 2025, largely from the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions. However, operations generated a net loss of $1.9M and operating cash outflow of $2.8M, leaving only $0.4M of cash on March 31, 2026.
Balance sheet risk is notable. Long-term debt totals $13.2M (including senior secured convertible notes and related-party mezzanine debt), and revolving credit borrowings rose to $12.7M. The company also carries $18.5M of goodwill after a prior $6.2M impairment, which underscores sensitivity to performance assumptions.
Liquidity plans hinge on external financing and execution. About $19.2M remained undrawn under the $20.0M equity line of credit as of May 19, 2026, but access depends on maintaining a Nasdaq listing. The company has received a waiver for a U.S. revolver covenant breach and has until July 6, 2026 to cure its sub-$1.00 share price, potentially via a reverse split. Subsequent filings may clarify how quickly integration synergies and cost reductions offset interest and lease burdens.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capstone and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and all adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated balance sheet on December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). This report should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2026, as amended on April 17, 2026.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates, and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and its results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ Equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make some assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s assumptions regarding current events and actions that may impact on the Company in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition date.
The Company’s management exercises significant judgments in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles and their estimated useful lives. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value at the date of acquisition:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The categorization of an asset or liability within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs.
The Company's recurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2026 consist of (i) the embedded conversion features bifurcated from the Senior Secured Convertible Notes, classified as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); and (ii) the contingent earn-out consideration related to the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions, measured at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company also performs nonrecurring fair value measurements in connection with business combinations (Note 4) and goodwill impairment testing (Note 7), which involve Level 3 inputs including projected cash flows, discount rates, and market multiples. The Company has no recurring Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Cash
Cash consists of balances held in a commercial bank account.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates expected credit losses for the allowance for expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $
Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers include retainage provisions. Retainage represents amounts withheld from billings by customers until installation work has been inspected to ensure that obligations have been satisfied under the contract. Company invoices are retained and included in contract receivables when obligations have been satisfied and the right to receipt is subject only to the passage of time. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, retainage receivables were $
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places cash with high credit quality institutions. During the normal course of business, balances in these accounts may exceed the maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s diverse customer base and generally short payment terms. Management believes there is no business vulnerability regarding concentrations of accounts receivable and sales due to the strong relationships and financial strength of our customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Inventories
Inventories consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower cost, determined by the average cost method, or net realizable value. Inventories also include deposits placed on inventory purchases for shipments not yet received. Significant prepaid inventory may be located overseas. At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have a prepaid inventory balance. At December 31, 2025, the total prepaid inventory balance was $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to forty years. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Property and equipment is comprised of building, machinery & equipment, computer equipment, leasehold improvements, software, office equipment, vehicles, and furniture & fixtures. Minor maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather are tested for impairment annually as of the 1st day of the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist. The Company’s goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units for impairment assessment purposes. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has
In evaluating potential goodwill impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company measures any goodwill impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Instone reporting unit as of October 1, 2025, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $
Intangible assets with finite lives, consist of a distribution agreement, customer relationships and non-compete agreements that are amortized over the terms of the agreements or expected useful lives.
Long-lived Asset Impairments
Long-lived assets and finite lived identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount of which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company determined that no impairment was required for the period presented.
Convertible Debt
The Company accounts for convertible debt in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. At issuance, the Company evaluates whether embedded conversion features require bifurcation as derivative liabilities under ASC 815-15. If bifurcation is required, the embedded feature is recorded at fair value as of the issuance date, with the initial fair value recognized as a derivative liability and a corresponding debt discount on the host instrument. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as other income or expense. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. Upon modification of convertible debt, the Company evaluates the transaction under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and remeasures the bifurcated derivative immediately before and after the modification, with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Upon conversion, the Company derecognizes the pro-rata carrying amount of the host debt (including unamortized OID, debt issuance costs, and derivative discount) and the corresponding portion of the derivative liability at its then-current fair value.
Revenue Recognition
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
Shipping and Handling
The Company includes amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling expenses in cost of goods sold.

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company classifies preferred stock that embodies an unconditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets at a specified or determinable date as a liability in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Such instruments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the present value of the amount to be paid at settlement, with interest expense accrued using the rate implicit at inception. Periodic dividend obligations on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock classified as a liability are presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's Series Z 8% Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, issued September 30, 2025, has been assessed as mandatorily redeemable and is presented as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 15 for additional information.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to the common stockholders of Capstone Holding Corp. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method for convertible notes. Potential common shares are excluded from computation when their effect is antidilutive. Warrants issued with a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share are considered common stock equivalents and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the number of incremental common shares from potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:
| March 31, | March 31, | |||||||

The pro forma results include the following adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions, consistent with the Company's prior pro forma disclosures in Forms 8-K/A filed with the SEC:
(a) Acquisition-related transaction expenses — Under the assumed acquisition date of January 1, 2025, $

(c) Income taxes — No incremental tax effect has been recognized on Carolina Stone or other U.S.-jurisdiction pro forma adjustments because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets. Canadian income tax effects on the Fraser Canyon-related pro forma adjustments are not material to the pro forma presentation and have not been separately reflected.
The pro forma results do not represent what the Company would have reported had the acquisitions closed on the assumed date, nor do they predict future performance.

In addition to the embedded derivative liabilities described above, the Company's Level 3 recurring fair value measurements include contingent earn-out consideration of $
The significant unobservable inputs used in the Carolina Stone earn-out valuation included EBITDA volatility of
The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is most sensitive to changes in projected EBITDA, EBITDA volatility, and the risk-adjusted discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in expected EBITDA would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in EBITDA volatility generally result in a higher (lower) fair value given the option-like payoff structure. Increases (decreases) in the risk-adjusted discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair value. Changes in the fair value of the earn-out liabilities are recognized within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities is highly sensitive to changes in the expected volatility input. Significant increases (decreases) in the expected annualized volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement of the derivative liabilities, which would be recognized as a non-operating loss (gain) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Nasdaq Listing Compliance
In January 2026, the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the closing bid price of its Common Stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Company was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company has until July 6, 2026 to regain compliance, and the Board of Directors intends to seek shareholder authorization at the 2026 Annual Meeting to effect a reverse stock split, if needed, to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement. Continued listing on Nasdaq is an important component of the Company's access to capital markets, including its ability to issue shares under the ELOC and to raise additional equity capital on favorable terms. A delisting or prolonged non-compliance could adversely impact the Company's liquidity position. In addition, the Company has generated recurring net losses, including a net loss of $

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.

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 following table is a summary of TotalStone’s operating results through operating income (loss) reconciled to the Company’s consolidated totals with the inclusion of Parent and eliminating amounts:

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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily resulting from the Company’s net loss of $1.9 million and a $1.1 million build in working capital, partially offset by $0.5 million of non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, and accrued interest.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily resulting from our net loss of $1.7 million and a $0.7 million build in working capital, partially offset by $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $29.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, related to purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities was $17.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily consisting of net borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $2.4 million and net proceeds from our equity line of credit of $0.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily consisting of net proceeds from our March 2025 public offering of $3.3 million and net borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $1.5 million, partially offset by debt repayments of $0.9 million.
Funding Requirements
The Company used the net proceeds of its March 2025 Public Offering and its Senior Secured Convertible Notes to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Carolina Stone Holdings acquisition (closed August 22, 2025) and the Fraser Canyon Holdings acquisition (closed December 1, 2025), and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
Through October 22, 2025, the Company received an aggregate of $6,250,000 in gross proceeds pursuant to its Senior Secured Convertible Notes financings (the July 29, 2025 issuance and the October 22, 2025 issuance), as described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and in the Recent Developments section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis. In addition, as described in Note 11 and Note 15, the Company may receive up to $20.0 million from the sale of the Equity Line Securities to the Equity Line Investor. The Company plans to raise additional funds to finance the growth of our operations through equity financing or debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our existing Common Stock, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2026, as amended on April 17, 2026, have not materially changed. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we added the following two critical accounting policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates to Note 3 in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements: Business Combinations and Convertible Notes.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Due to accounting resource constraints, we have had limited review controls. These constraints have resulted in (1) a lack of segregation of duties, since we have a limited administrative staff, and (2) lack of internal controls structure review.
Our management is composed of a small number of individuals, which has historically resulted in limitations on segregation of duties. To address this matter and the related material weakness, the Company has undertaken and continues to implement the following remediation steps:
Process and review enhancements. The Company has implemented additional review procedures over journal entries, account reconciliations, and the consolidation process. Management is documenting key accounting policies, formalizing close calendars and review checklists, and engaging multiple external accounting, tax, and audit consultants to supplement internal staffing during the remediation period.
Post-acquisition disclosure controls. Following the acquisitions of Carolina Stone Holdings on August 22, 2025 and Fraser Canyon Holdings on December 1, 2025, the Company has integrated each acquired business into its quarterly disclosure controls and procedures, including expanding the close calendar to incorporate the acquired entities, aligning the chart of accounts and reporting packages, and extending review and certification responsibilities to the acquired-entity finance leads.
Expected timing. The Company expects the remediation steps described above, taken together with the completion of the additional staff accountant hire for TotalStone and the continuing engagement of external accounting consultants, to substantially remediate the identified material weaknesses by the end of fiscal year 2026, subject to the operating effectiveness of the new controls being demonstrated for a sufficient period of time.
The Company will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, and management will reassess the remediation status quarterly. Until the remediation is complete and the relevant controls have operated effectively for a sufficient period, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be engaged in various lawsuits and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in our judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this Quarterly Report. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
You should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), together with all other information in this Quarterly Report, including our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any such risks, including the risk set out below, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe to not be significant, develop into actual events, then our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment.
In addition to the risk factors set forth in the 2025 Form 10-K, the following risk factors represent material updates to our risk factor disclosures. The risk factors set forth in the 2025 Form 10-K, as updated by the foregoing, should be read in conjunction with the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report.
We were not in compliance with the minimum Cash Flow Coverage Ratio under our Revolving Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2026, and although we have received a written waiver from our lender, there can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance in future periods or that our lender will grant additional waivers, which could result in acceleration of our outstanding indebtedness and materially impair our liquidity.
As of March 31, 2026, we were not in compliance with the minimum Cash Flow Coverage Ratio covenant under our Revolving Credit Agreement with Beacon Bank & Trust. On May 18, 2026, we received a written waiver limited to this specific violation; the waiver does not extend to any future defaults or events of default.
There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance in future periods or that our lender will grant additional waivers if we do not. Any future waiver, if obtained, may be conditioned upon terms less favorable to the Company, including increased interest rates, additional collateral requirements, or other operational restrictions. If we fail to obtain a necessary waiver, our lender could declare an event of default, accelerate all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and exercise its remedies against pledged collateral. Acceleration could also trigger cross-default provisions in our other debt agreements, including the October Note, and could materially impair our financial condition and our ability to continue as a going concern. Recurring covenant non-compliance may also impair our ability to access additional financing and may be viewed unfavorably by investors and counterparties.
The reduction of the conversion price under the October Note and the resulting conversion of a substantial portion of the principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock resulted in significant dilution to our existing stockholders, and future conversions at the reduced conversion price or further reductions in the conversion price could result in additional substantial dilution.
On April 16, 2026, we reduced the conversion price applicable to $500,000 of the principal amount outstanding under the October Note to $0.57 per share. On the same date, the buyer converted an aggregate of $1,725,136 of principal and $120,762 of accrued interest into 2,557,198 shares of common stock, increasing our outstanding share count by approximately 22% in a single day.
This conversion has resulted in significant dilution to existing stockholders with respect to earnings, book value, and voting power per share, and may depress the market price of our Common Stock. If additional principal or interest is converted at the reduced price, or if we further reduce the conversion price, stockholders will experience additional material dilution. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of remaining unconverted principal may exert continued downward pressure on our stock price, which could impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings or our Equity Line of Credit and could make any future conversions even more dilutive.
We have received a notification from Nasdaq regarding non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and failure to regain compliance could result in delisting of our Common Stock.
In January 2026, the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the closing bid price of its Common Stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company has until July 6, 2026, to regain compliance, which requires the closing bid price of its Common Stock to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance within the initial compliance period, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, subject to meeting certain requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company fails to regain compliance, its Common Stock may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, which could materially adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of its Common Stock and its ability to raise capital. In January 2025, the SEC approved amendments to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) that restrict the ability of listed companies to use reverse stock splits as a compliance tool. Under the amended rules, if a company effects a reverse stock split and subsequently fails to maintain the minimum bid price requirement within one year, the company will not be eligible for any compliance period and Nasdaq will issue a delisting determination. In addition, companies that effect reverse stock splits with a cumulative ratio of 250-to-1 or greater over any two-year period are subject to immediate delisting without a compliance period. The Company’s Board of Directors is seeking shareholder authorization at the 2026 Annual Meeting to effect a reverse stock split as a potential backstop measure to regain compliance if necessary. However, even if authorized and effected, a reverse stock split may not result in sustained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the amended Nasdaq rules would preclude the Company from relying on an additional compliance period if the stock price subsequently falls below $1.00 within one year of such reverse split.
Changes in foreign currency translation and transaction risks that could adversely affect our reported financial results and the cost of servicing our Canadian dollar-denominated obligations.
Our Canadian operating subsidiary, Canadian Stone Industries Inc., generates revenues and incurs expenses in Canadian dollars, and we have outstanding debt and seller notes denominated in Canadian dollars. These exposures subject us to foreign currency translation risk when consolidating the subsidiary's results into U.S. dollars, and to transaction risk affecting the U.S. dollar cost of servicing our Canadian dollar-denominated obligations.
Fluctuations in the CAD/USD exchange rate may cause variability in our reported financial results independent of underlying operating performance. While this risk was not material in prior periods, it could become increasingly material if our Canadian operations or Canadian dollar-denominated indebtedness grow or as exchange rate volatility increases.
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On February 12, 2026, in connection with the Letter Agreement with 3i, LP (see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report), the Company issued warrants to purchase 405,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants were issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction not involving a public offering. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants have not been registered as of the date of this filing.
ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5: OTHER INFORMATION.
Insider trading arrangements and policies.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
