NEWS RELEASE Caesarstone Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results 2025-11-12 - Revenue of $102.1 Million - - Further Solidi es Transformation to an Innovation- and Brand-Focused Model - - Announces Major Step in Multi-Year Initiative to Optimize Its Global Manufacturing Network with Closure of Bar-Lev Facility - - Implementation of Strategic Measures Expected to Support a Return to Positive Adjusted EBITDA in the Third Quarter of 2026 - MP MENASHE, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Caesarstone Ltd. (NASDAQ: CSTE), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality engineered surfaces, today reported nancial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Yos Shiran, Caesarstone’s Chief Executive O cer commented, “We are rapidly advancing the transformation of our business model to focus on innovation, product development, and marketing. We are investing in strengthening the Caesarstone brand, expanding our porcelain o ering, and enhancing our R&D capabilities. As part of this strategic transformation, we are further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint with the announced closing of our Bar-Lev facility and the transfer of production to our global partners. These initiatives are expected to generate annual savings of approximately $22 million and bring total savings since 2023 to over $85 million, representing necessary steps to strengthen our competitive position and support a return to positive adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of next year.” Manufacturing Facility Network and Cost Optimization Update On Nov 11, 2025, the Company approved additional steps under its strategic restructuring plan across its operations, commencing with the closure of the manufacturing facility in Bar-Lev, Israel, and a reduction in 1

headcount of approximately 200 employees mostly associated with the facility. This strategic action is intended to increase competitiveness, improve the Company’s pro tability and cash ows, enhance service and drive additional cost e ciencies through an optimized manufacturing footprint. In connection with the facility closure, the Company expects to incur non-cash impairment expenses of $40.0 million to $45.0 million and estimated cash costs in the amount of $4.0 million to $8.0 million related to operations, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing through the next 12 months. These estimated closure costs do not include a potential non-cash write-down on the long term non-cancellable facility lease agreement, valid through 2032, which the Company aims to sublease in whole or in part through the remaining term of the lease. Once implemented, the Company expects to realize annualized cash savings of approximately $22.0 million, with the potential for additional cash savings if subleases are executed on the non-cancellable long-term facility lease agreement. Upon closure of the Bar-Lev facility, the Company will continue to innovate and maintain its high level of service to customers through its global production network. Beyond the facility closure, the restructuring plan continues to focus on additional actions that can be taken to improve future pro tability and cash ow. Third Quarter 2025 Results Revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $102.1 million compared to $107.6 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, third quarter revenue was down 5.7% year-over-year mainly due to lower volumes. Volumes were impacted by continued global economic headwinds across the Company's main regions resulting in lower demand accompanied by greater competitive pressures. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 17.3% compared to 19.9% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter was similar. The di erence in gross margin was mainly due to lower volumes and production, which resulted in lower xed costs absorption and costs associated with ramping up new products, partially o set by the bene ts of an improved production footprint. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $33.7 million, or 33.0% of revenue, compared to $25.4 million, or 23.6% of revenue in the prior year quarter. Excluding legal settlements and loss contingencies, and restructuring and impairment expenses, operating expenses were $29.7 million or 29.1% of revenue compared to $30.2 million or 28.1% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower revenues. Operating loss in the third quarter of 2025 was $16.0 million compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in the 2

prior year quarter, primarily re ecting lower gross pro t. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025, which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items, was a loss of $7.9 million compared to a loss of $4.1 million in the prior year quarter. Finance (income) expense in the third quarter of 2025 was $1.8 million compared to nance income of $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. The di erence primarily re ects foreign currency exchange rate uctuations. Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the third quarter of 2025 was $18.1 million compared to a net loss of $4.2 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss per share for the third quarter 2025 was $0.52 compared to a net loss per share of $0.12 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted net loss per share for the third quarter was $0.40 on 34.6 million shares, compared to Adjusted diluted net loss per share of $0.24 in the prior year quarter on 35.0 million shares. Balance Sheet & Liquidity As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s balance sheet included cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $69.3 million and total debt to nancial institutions of $2.6 million. The Company's net cash position was $66.7 million as of September 30, 2025. US Tari s Update We continue to monitor the impact of existing and proposed U.S. tari s a ecting various countries and product categories, that are currently in a wide range on the majority of imported products. Approximately 48.0% of the Company's revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 were generated in the U.S. market, served by the Company's global production network. The Company is in continuous dialogue with its manufacturing partners to optimize its supply chain and has recently announced a price increase in the U.S. market in order to mitigate the increased cost of goods imported to the U.S. Legal Proceedings Update As of September 30, 2025, the Company was subject to lawsuits involving 514 individuals alleging injuries related to exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust. These included 43 claims in Israel, 151 in Australia, and 320 in the United States. As of the same date, the Company recorded a provision of $46.0 million, representing its best estimate of probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with pending claims. The Company’s insurance receivables related to these provided for silicosis claims totaled $24.3 million. 3

To date in the United States, a jury in California ruled in favor of the Company, assigning no liability to the Company in one trial. This case remains under appeal. The Company also received one adverse jury verdict in 2024, which is currently under appeal. The Company settled another claim during 2025. The remaining U.S. claims are either at an early stage or are considered only reasonably possible losses, and therefore no additional provision has been recorded. In July 2025, both the Company and certain U.S. insurance carriers initiated proceedings for declaratory relief to determine the proper interpretation and application of the Company’s U.S. product liability insurance policies and available limits. These proceedings are in an early stage. If there is a change in the assessment for the outcome of the claims or the insurance coverage limits through the course of the trial processes, such changes could have a material and adverse impact on our business, nancial position, results of operations and cash ows.
