Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. reports that its Modular Buildings segment has recently been awarded major projects, increasing that segment’s backlog to over $19.0 million. This is a substantial rise from the $1.3 million backlog disclosed in the Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2026.
The company states that these awards significantly expand production commitments and improve visibility into future manufacturing activity. Management currently estimates the backlog will be substantially fulfilled by the end of the 2027 fiscal year, subject to customer schedules, project milestones and execution factors. The projects are expected to be executed at margins generally consistent with historical performance for comparable Modular Buildings projects, though the company cautions that backlog, while indicative of future activity, is affected by customer requirements, contract terms and potential scheduling changes.
Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. reported higher revenue but lower profitability for the quarter and first half ended May 31, 2026. For the three months, sales were $7,854,000 versus $6,337,000 a year earlier, while operating income declined to $287,000 from $510,000 and net income fell to $173,000 from $1,482,000, with EPS dropping to $0.03 from $0.29.
For the first six months, sales rose to $14,494,000 from $11,478,000, a 26% increase in first half sales, and operating income increased to $617,000 from $513,000, a 20% growth in operating income, but net income decreased to $370,000 from $1,426,000, with EPS of $0.07 versus $0.28. Management cites strong demand in livestock-oriented Agricultural Products and continued strength in Modular Buildings, offset by weaker sugar beet equipment demand, elevated inventories, and material cost pressures that are constraining margins.
Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. entered into a new $500,000 reserve revolving credit facility with Bank Midwest to help fund deposits on a new fiberoptic laser and crane system for its Agricultural Products segment.
The Reserve Line of Credit is secondary to the company’s existing $4,000,000 revolving line of credit and will only be used when that primary line reaches capacity. It matures on March 30, 2027 and carries monthly interest-only payments at a rate of 2.600% above the 1‑month SOFR index, with an initial interest rate of 6.225% per year. After delivery and installation of the equipment, expected in 16–18 weeks, the deposits and remaining balance will be converted into term debt with a 15‑year term at an originally estimated interest rate of 6.50% per year, aligning this borrowing with the long‑term nature of the new assets.
