A jury in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, found Caesarstone Ltd. liable and awarded approximately $46.5 million in damages (representing 69.1% of fault) in a silica exposure case brought by fabricator Dennys Rene Rivas-Williams. The verdict is part of coordinated silicosis proceedings (JCCP 5378). Caesarstone is considering its available actions, including potential appeals, and the outcome may impact the company's financial condition and prospects for pending claims. Caesarstone Ltd. manufactures and distributes engineered stone surfaces.

Caesarstone Ltd. reported second quarter 2026 financial results with revenue of $96.6 million and a gross margin of 24.0%. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.0 million, an improvement from the prior year's $6.4 million loss. The company faces headwinds from soft demand in North America and new U.S. tariffs on quartz imports effective August 15, 2026, which may delay its return to positive Adjusted EBITDA. Caesarstone also recorded a $51.2 million provision for legal settlements related to silica exposure claims. The company operates in the engineered surfaces industry, specializing in countertops and other premium surface materials.
