American Marconi Wireless News - Capstone to Acquire Carolina Stone Products-Immediately Accretive to Revenue and EBITDA; Closing Targeted by August 22, 2025

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2025 / Capstone Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:CAPS), a national building products distribution platform, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Carolina Stone Products, with closing targeted by August 22, 2025, subject to customary conditions. Additional details are included in the Company's Form 8-K filed today.

Transaction Highlights

Management estimate of 2026 EBITDA contribution

Carolina Stone Products Acquisition - The transaction will add Carolina Stone's premium brands and loyal customer base to Capstone's portfolio. It is expected to be immediately accretive to revenue and EBITDA and will mark Capstone's entry into the Southeast, one of the nation's fastest-growing construction markets.

"With a foothold in the Carolinas, we'll begin getting Instone products on the ground right away-a key step toward share gains and margin expansion," said Matthew Lipman, CEO. "We are delivering on our 2025 plan: immediately accretive acquisitions, a disciplined pipeline at 4-6× EBITDA, and a clear path to a ~$100 million revenue run-rate entering 2026."

"We couldn't be more thrilled about joining the Capstone family," added Stuart Powell, Carolina Stone

Products EVP. "We believe the additional products for our customers to access along with an ability to

serve our large, production builders in new markets via the Capstone reach will make us an even more

valuable partner."

Additional Acquisitions - Capstone expects to close at least one additional acquisition by year-end 2025. Multiple targets are under review at 4-6× EBITDA valuations, with 20-45% non-cash consideration, positioning Capstone to make a third acquisition and enter 2026 at a ~$100 million revenue run-rate.

The company's disciplined approach to M&A has fueled significant platform growth. Previous acquisitions - including HHT's stone business, Heller's Stone, and Northeast Masonry - have expanded Capstone's footprint, lowered costs, strengthened supply chains, and elevated customer service.

"In building products, scale matters," Lipman added. "Larger companies enjoy competitive advantages like pricing power, operational leverage, and broader reach. Our platform and team give us the ability to capture those benefits and deliver long-term value creation."

In addition to pipeline progress, Capstone last week reported that Q2 gross margins rose to 24.4% from 21.4% a year earlier, driven by increased sales of owned brands and disciplined cost management. These results underscore the company's execution of its long-term growth strategy: pairing organic expansion with well-timed acquisitions.

"We're doing what we set out to do," said Lipman. "With our flexible capital structure and deep sector expertise, we're well-positioned to continue executing on our strategy in the months ahead."
