EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Caesarstone Ltd. (the "Company") is furnishing this Form 6-K/A ("Amendment No. 1") in order to replace the financial tables contained in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K of the Company furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 8, 2017 (the "Original Form 6-K").  The Original Form 6-K was furnished in connection with the issuance by the Company of a press release titled "Caesarstone Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results."  This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the date of the Original Form 6-K.  Other than as stated below, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or restate the information in any other section of the Original Form 6-K, including Exhibit 99.1 thereto, or reflect any events that have occurred after the date the Original Form 6-K was furnished to the SEC.

The Company increased the amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest on its balance sheet by approximately $2.2 million to reflect an adjustment to the redemption value associated with such interest. Accordingly, retained earnings were decreased by the same amount.  Under U.S. GAAP, an adjustment to the redemption value of non-controlling interest is not reflected in the statement of income other than in the numerator for the calculation of earnings per share. Accordingly, the Company revised its full year 2016 and fourth quarter 2016  basic and diluted net income per share down from $2.15 to $2.08 and down from $0.44 to $0.37, respectively.

The GAAP financial information included in the financial tables contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K/A are hereby incorporated by reference into (i) the Registrant’s Registration Statements on Form S-8 (Files No. 333- 180313 and No. 333-210444) and (ii) the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 ASR (File No. 333-196335).
