Arizona Tribune - Art's Way Announces Significant Increase in Backlog Following Award of Major Modular Building Projects

These projects represent a significant increase in the Modular Building segment's production commitments and provide enhanced visibility into future manufacturing activity. The backlog is estimated to be substantially fulfilled by the end of the Company's 2027 fiscal year, subject to customer schedules, project milestones and customary execution.

Marc McConnell, the Company's President, CEO, and Chairman, reports, "We are pleased to announce the award of these significant projects, which reflect the strength of our modular manufacturing capabilities and the confidence our customers have placed in our team. These projects substantially strengthen our backlog and position the Company for an extended period of production activity. We remain focused on executing these projects efficiently and at the high level of quality and service our customers expect."

The Company is not disclosing the identities of the customers or additional project details at this time due to the contractual confidentiality obligations. Should the customers agree to joint press release in the future the Company may release more information related to the projects.

The Company expects these projects to be executed at margins generally consistent with its historical performance for comparable Modular Buildings projects.

Backlog represents the estimated value of signed customer contracts that have not yet been completed. While backlog provides an indication of future business activity, it is subject to customer requirements, contract terms, scheduling changes, and other factors. Accordingly, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue, operating results, or the timing of revenue recognition.
