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."
