Art’s Way Manufacturing reported a net loss of $56,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, an improvement from a $424,000 loss a year earlier, despite continued pressure in the ag market.

Consolidated sales declined 10.2% year over year to $5.14 million, while operating income turned positive at $2,000, and the company reduced operating expenses by 19.4%, according to the company’s April 9 earnings release. Sales in the ag market segment dropped 30.4% to $2.95 million due to ongoing challenges including high interest rates, lower commodity prices, and reduced farm income.

With approximately 100 employees across two Iowa locations, Art’s Way manufactures agricultural and scientific equipment designed to improve efficiency and productivity. However, efforts to cut costs and adjust staffing have helped stabilize margins, and demand for grinder mixers and beet harvesters remained steady. Tariffs and rising steel prices are expected to have a minor impact on future profitability.

The modular buildings division saw continued momentum with sales rising 47.5% to $2.19 million, driven by a strong project backlog. Net income for the segment was $291,000, up from $29,000 in the prior year quarter. The company is focused on converting engineering contracts into construction agreements and has strengthened its sales team with leadership transitions to maintain customer relationships and drive growth.

The third annual Equipment Finance Connect at the JW Marriott Nashville in Nashville, Tenn., on May 14-15, 2025, is the only event that brings together equipment dealers and lenders to share insights, attend discussions on crucial industry topics and network with peers.
