"With Friday's closing, we're delivering exactly what we said we would: immediately accretive acquisitions at disciplined valuations," said Matthew Lipman, CEO. "Carolina Stone strengthens our brand portfolio, gives us a foothold in one of the nation's fastest-growing construction markets, and positions us for a ~$100 million revenue run-rate entering 2026."

Stuart Powell, EVP of Carolina Stone Products, added: "We're excited to officially join Capstone. The expanded reach and access to Instone's distribution platform will allow us to better serve our customers and accelerate growth."

Capstone's Active M&A Pipeline

In building products distribution, scale delivers clear advantages, including pricing power, operational leverage, and broader reach. Capstone is achieving that scale with discipline, targeting acquisitions at 4-6× EBITDA with 20-45% non-cash consideration. The Carolina Stone acquisition fits squarely within those parameters, and the company is actively reviewing additional opportunities in the same range.

Capstone expects to close at least one more acquisition by year-end 2025. This disciplined M&A strategy continues to drive immediate accretion, creating long-term value for shareholders.

Achieving Platform Growth

The closing of Carolina Stone adds to a series of successful acquisitions - including HHT's stone business, Heller's Stone, and Northeast Masonry - that have expanded Capstone's footprint, lowered costs, and improved service.

The impact is evident in Capstone's Q2 results: gross margins rose to 24.4% from 21.4% a year earlier. These gains highlight the success of Capstone's two-pronged strategy: pairing disciplined acquisitions with organic growth.
