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.

University of Phoenix Publishes Guide on Student Assessment Process
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--'Assessment at University of Phoenix: An Illustrated Guide,' has been published by University of Phoenix Assessment and Institutional Research leadership Dean of Academic Innovation and Evaluation Eve Krahe Billings, Ph.D., Director of Academic Assessment Gretchen Meyers, Ed.D., and Assessment Manager Melinda Kulick, Ed.D., as an overview of the University's robust, systematic evaluation process measuring student performance against learning goals at the institutional, general education, programmatic, and course levels. 'Ours is a culture that values data-informed decision-making and continuous improvement,' states Provost and Chief Academic Officer John Woods, Ph.D. 'Our skills-aligned curriculum is formed through course design and then confirmed by authentic assessments that empower our students as they demonstrate those skills in real-world and work environments. We created this guide to provide transparency of the assessment process and help our community understand the extraordinary level of engagement across academic teams in assessing student learning.' The assessment guide provides an illustrated overview of the assessment process and introduces the individual roles engaged. The guide details the process, which begins by engaging dedicated adjunct faculty, called Faculty Assessment Liaisons (FALs), to perform analysis of assessment data. The assessment team, with help from the FALs, then analyzes faculty feedback, facilitating seamless reporting to inform decision-making, and ensures continuity in the assessment process across academic leadership and faculty. External to the University, the assessment model process and measurements are reported in institutional and programmatic accreditation documentation, as well as in the public-facing University of Phoenix Academic Annual Report. Internal to the University, assessment data and analysis are communicated systematically to stakeholders across the University, including faculty, Industry Advisory Council members, deans, and senior academic leadership. 'Authentic assessment design poses shifting scenarios for learners that challenge them, empower them to interpret the assessment in their own context, and provide them opportunity to engage with faculty and peers in understanding the assessment,' states Krahe Billings. 'Our process was informed by departments and teams committed to understanding why this is important to our learners, and to designing effective measures that support learners in building skills and applying them.' As Dean of Academic Innovation and Evaluation, Krahe Billings oversees student learning assessment across the University as well as the institution's skills-aligned curriculum initiative from the perspective that learners benefit from socialization to the rigor, critical thinking, academic expectations, and longstanding traditions that are the hallmark of higher education. Krahe Billings earned a Ph.D. focused in Complexity Science and Innovation at Arizona State University. Krahe Billings is a 2019 Wellesley cohort HERS fellow and a past member of the Board of Directors and executive committee of the American Association of University Administrators. She served as lead author on a Fall 2023 white paper on the University's foundational work building a career-focused skills ecosystem for adult learners. Krahe Billings and two members of AIR recently published a peer-reviewed article on assessment design using AI. Meyers oversees academic assessment that relies on innovative practices including administering the University's Rapid Assessment Process (RAP) and Comprehensive Assessment Process (CAP). Both processes integrate quantitative student learning data with rich qualitative insights from faculty. Meyers also serves as Associate Faculty in the College of Education and received the Faculty of the Year award in 2017. She is active on the Assessment Learning Exchange as part of the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE). Meyers holds an Ed.D. in Administration and Educational Technology and M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction from University of Phoenix, and an M.A. in Reading and Literacy from Walden University. Kulick oversees academic assessment for the University's College of Education and College of Nursing, where she leads the Rapid Assessment Process (RAP) and Comprehensive Assessment Process (CAP) to support continuous improvement through faculty insights and student learning data. She additionally serves the University as Associate Faculty in the College of Doctoral Studies, Research Fellow for the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), and member of an AI Curriculum working group. Kulick is a member of the Association for Educational Communications & Technology (AECT) and holds an Ed.D. in Instructional Leadership with a focus in educational technology from Argosy University, and an M.S. in Multimedia Technology from California University of Pennsylvania. .
