First Half 2025 Summary Income Statement

Lou Melluzzo, Chief Executive Officer of Air Industries Group, commented: “The second quarter of 2025 presented challenges, primarily delays in customer orders and extended lead times from subcontractors, which impacted our results. These issues, combined with higher non-cash stock compensation expenses, contributed to a net loss for the quarter. However, Adjusted EBITDA for the first half remained positive, reflecting our ability to manage costs. Looking to the second half, we are adjusting our outlook to reflect the impact of these issues and now expect overall second-half results in 2025 to be lower than the first half, with our fourth quarter expected to be the strongest by far. At the same time, we have implemented cost-saving initiatives, including a workforce reduction that should reduce annual payroll by approximately $1.0 million.”

Mr. Melluzzo further commented: “Despite recent headwinds, I believe our long-term business outlook remains strong. In early July 2025, we successfully completed an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering, raising nearly $4.0 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 1,003,653 common shares—further strengthening our balance sheet. Our backlog remains at record levels, reflecting sustained demand for our products, the benefits of which will be realized in fiscal 2026 and beyond. I remain confident that the underlying strength of our business will drive continued progress and deliver lasting value to our shareholders.”

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed in this press release are 'forward-looking statements' intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the Company's statements regarding trends in the marketplace, future revenues, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the ability to realize firm backlog and projected backlog, cost cutting measures, potential future results and acquisitions, are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects due to variability in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy in actual results from estimates, projections and forecasts made by management, regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets, and other factors, including general economic conditions, not within the Company's control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with our financial covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company’s business and therefore are not intended to be an alternative to financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices which are not currently ascertainable.
