Insights

Defense and industrial technology analyst

Record backlog over $23M signals strong near-term demand.

IEH Corporation highlighted an all-time high order backlog exceeding $23 million, tied to defense systems that use its Hyperboloid connectors. The company noted that this backlog has more than doubled in 12 months and rose nearly 30% in the first two months of 2026.

Backlog represents confirmed orders not yet filled, so a sharp increase typically indicates robust customer demand and good visibility into upcoming production. IEH’s products are embedded in key programs like PATRIOT, AMRAAM, THAAD, APKWS and MARK‑48, which are seeing higher deployment and replenishment activity.

Management stated that the current backlog is expected to translate into revenue over the next 12–18 months, suggesting a potentially stronger sales pipeline during that period. Actual financial impact will depend on execution, delivery timing and any changes in defense procurement reflected in future company filings.

Exhibit 99.1

IEH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RECORD ORDER BACKLOG EXCEEDNG $23 MILLION AS DEMAND FOR DEFENSE PROGRAMS INCREASES

BROOKLYN, N.Y., March 4, 2026 – IEH Corporation (OTCQX: IEHC) announced today that its order backlog has reached an all-time high, due primarily to the increased demand for precision-guided munitions, missiles and air defense systems that employ IEH’s Hyperboloid connectors.

Dave Offerman, President and CEO of IEH Corporation commented, “Due to the overwhelming demand for the various defense systems that utilize our Hyperboloid connectors, contacts and interconnect assemblies, our backlog is now the highest it’s ever been. It has more than doubled in the last 12 months and has increased nearly 30% in just the first two months of 2026. This backlog will translate into revenue over the next 12-18 months. Defense programs like PATRIOT, AMRAAM, THAAD, APKWS and MARK-48 all employ our interconnect solutions in their missiles, radars, and precision-guided munitions, and rely on IEH to supply the connectors that enable these critical programs. As these systems are deployed in greater volume and frequency, and the US prioritizes equipment replenishment in support of our warfighting capabilities, we expect demand to continue. As we have throughout our long history, IEH stands ready to support our nation’s defense and that of our valued allies.”
