Capstone Companies Reports 2018 Year-End Performance

  • Revenue decline resulting from reduced promotional activity
  • Looking forward - 2019 CES product line introductions focused on emerging Smart Home market

Capstone Companies, Inc. CAPC ("Capstone" or the "Company"), a designer, manufacturer and marketer of consumer inspired products that bridge technological innovations with today's lifestyle reported its financial results for the full year 2018.

Stewart Wallach, Capstone's Chairman and CEO, commented, "2018 promotional scheduling, as a result of business uncertainties caused by trade negotiations, was significantly reduced and accordingly resulting revenues were disappointing. On a looking forward positive note, the Company has taken aggressive measures to mitigate the future impact of tariff increases and has also ramped up product development efforts to revitalize the Company's growth by accelerating the 2019 launch of its newly developed smart home product portfolio."

Mr. Wallach added, "our initial smart home product was introduced at CES in January. This was our first entry in the electronics industry showcase and we have subsequently been covered in numerous industry publications, interviews and were recognized by Android Headlines as one of their 'Best of CES' choices."

Gerry McClinton, Capstone's CFO, commented further, "while 2018 revenues were down, our Company resources remain stable and we are rapidly preceding to improve the revenue stream through diversifying our product portfolio into high growth areas. Management remained resolute through 2018 to efficiently manage its resources yielding strong year-end cash balances and zero debt standing."
