Art's Way Reports Improved Results With Modular Buildings Growth Offsetting Ag Market Challenges

Oct 09, 2025

Marc McConnell, the Company's president, CEO and chairman, reports, "We continue to be pleased by operational progress and improved profitability during our third quarter and year to date despite persistent headwinds in the ag equipment space. During the quarter, we again benefited greatly from strong performance by our Modular Buildings segment while our Agricultural Products segment continued to experience modest demand. We remain focused on enhancing our products and customer experience to improve our market position in both segments while also further improving our balance sheet and cashflow positions. We are cautiously optimistic that strong profitability among livestock producers will lead to improvement in demand in the near term and into 2026."
