NEW YORK, NEW YORK, September 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Tribal’s Campfire is a shared canvas that lets enterprises build and change their own Salesforce org at the speed of business, with security, permissions and dependencies intact 

Enterprise-native AI platform Tribal today launched Campfire, a shared, production-grounded workspace that brings business users, architects, security teams, admins, reviewers, and testers into one governed process for building applications on Salesforce (NYSE: CRM).

Salesforce’s move toward Headless 360 is expanding how users, agents, and applications can interact with the platform. For large enterprises, that creates a new challenge: how to let more people build without losing control of the org. 

Campfire replaces disconnected handoffs with one shared workspace where business leaders, architects, security teams, and admins build together. Business leaders define the outcome, architects identify dependencies, security sets the guardrails, and admins turn the approved design into a production-ready solution. Requirements, risks, and decisions stay aligned from idea through deployment.

Every participant works from the same context, grounded in the systems already running in production. Tribal’s Metadata Fabric continuously maps the org’s objects, automations, permissions, business rules, and dependencies. This allows teams to move directly into building instead of spending cycles reconciling conflicting context and assumptions across separate AI tools. 

From there, Campfire turns the shared design into an application built on Agentforce and Omni-Channel, with the agreed workflows and guardrails carried through.

“The biggest bottleneck in enterprise software is not a shortage of ideas. It is everything that has to happen between an idea and production,” said Yoav Kolodner, Co-founder and CEO of Tribal. “Campfire addresses what comes next: how enterprises decide what automations, objects, and AI applications to build, bring the right people into that decision, and move safely into production.”

Campfire is designed to help enterprises retain ownership of their mission-critical Salesforce systems rather than route every change through a central development queue or implementation partner. Because applications are built inside Salesforce, teams retain their existing permissions, governance, and audit controls instead of recreating them in external tools. Campfire applies those guardrails throughout the build process, allowing more people to contribute without compromising the org. 

“The best ideas in a Salesforce org rarely come only from the people with permission to build,” said Uri Pintov, CPO of Tribal. “They come from the people closest to the work, who usually have no way to act on them. Campfire lets those people shape the solution without forcing the enterprise to choose between speed and security.”

For global companies, that model also changes how Salesforce programs scale. ADAMA, a global crop protection company, used Tribal to support its Agentforce rollout across 19 countries. Rather than one central team guessing at what every market needed, or 19 local builds drifting apart, the teams closest to each market shaped their own requirements on a shared foundation, with separation maintained between markets where local requirements called for it. 

“With Tribal, we move significantly faster, iterating quickly and deploying to production with confidence. We’re now able to better serve users in 19 countries while streamlining how they work with data across both new and existing markets,” said Nir Rehav, CIO of ADAMA.

The same holds on everyday enterprise needs. One customer used Campfire to build a commission calculator for its sales team, a project that would normally have required an implementation partner, a six-figure budget and months of work. 

As AI expands who can build inside enterprise systems, the challenge is no longer generating solutions. It is coordinating the people, context, and controls required to deploy them safely. Campfire gives CIOs a way to increase development speed without loosening governance or fragmenting the systems their businesses run on. 

Tribal Campfire is rolling out to customers now. Tribal will demonstrate Campfire during Dreamforce 2026, September 15 to 17, at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

ScienceSoft has released proprietary research on how midsize US insurers will address artificial intelligence (AI) risks in coverage and underwriting through 2028. Drawing on insurance market data, perspectives from industry experts, and ScienceSoft’s experience working with insurance organizations, the research examines whether growing AI-related losses will lead to a new class of AI-specific insurance.

The research forecasts that by 2028, 60–80% of new policies and renewals in errors and omissions (E&O), directors and officers (D&O), employment practices liability (EPL), and cyber insurance will factor AI risks into underwriting. However, ScienceSoft expects most midsize US insurers to continue covering AI risks primarily through existing lines of business rather than standalone AI policies. The research team anticipates AI-specific insurance to grow rapidly but remain a small niche in the commercial insurance market.

ScienceSoft finds that demand for clearer AI coverage is rising alongside AI-related incidents. The research points to a 262% rise in publicly documented AI incidents from 2022 to 2025 and highlights businesses are showing strong interest in protection against emerging liabilities associated with AI. Insurers take several approaches to making AI treatment more explicit, including affirmative policy wording, AI exclusions, specialized endorsements, and dedicated AI insurance products.

At the same time, the research reveals that much of today’s AI exposure remains covered through traditional insurance products. ScienceSoft concludes that AI-specific insurance is unlikely to become mainstream by 2028, despite the projected strong market growth (from $40 million in 2024 to $4.8 billion by 2032, at a roughly 80% CAGR). Yet even at that pace, the segment is projected to account for only around 0.34% of commercial P&C premiums by 2032. The research team expects unclear liability attribution, accumulation risk, limited loss history, and regulatory uncertainty to continue slowing the development of dedicated AI coverage.

The research findings suggest that underwriting will adapt considerably faster than coverage. ScienceSoft finds that insurers are beginning to assess not only whether businesses use AI but also how AI systems are governed, what level of autonomy they have, and what controls organizations have in place. The research team expects these factors to increasingly influence premiums, coverage conditions, and risk control requirements through 2028.

Beyond its market forecast, the research examines what these changes mean for insurers, brokers, commercial insurance customers, AI software providers, regulators, and individuals. In particular, it explores how insurers may need to adapt underwriting and claims processes, why insureds may increasingly require broker services as AI-specific insurance develops, and why AI vendors may become one of the main customer groups for AI liability insurance.

Peer-reviewed synthetic user research platform delivering 86 percent human accuracy with AI-generated personas matched to your ideal customer profile, now with Live Calls for real-time voice conversations.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 10th Sep 2026 – Articos, a peer-reviewed synthetic user research platform for SaaS marketing teams and agencies, today announced the launch of its platform and the general availability of Live Calls, a new capability for real-time voice conversations with simulated personas. The platform helps teams validate messaging, positioning, and landing pages in under 30 minutes using AI-generated personas built on peer-reviewed methodology grounded in behavioral science.

Peer-reviewed methodology at the core

Articos runs on methodology peer-reviewed across 46 controlled studies in 9 domains, demonstrating 86 percent human accuracy against publicly documented user research benchmarks. The full methodology is published openly and accessible for buyer diligence. This validation distinguishes Articos within the synthetic user research category, where most platforms operate without independent methodology publication.

For user research tasks specifically, Articos delivers 7.5 times greater accuracy than general-purpose AI models used directly for the same work, with statistical significance validated through peer review.

What Live Calls enables

Live Calls allows teams to hold real-time voice conversations with their simulated audience at any point in a study. This complements the platform’s existing “Talk to Research” capability for written follow-ups, giving teams two ways to understand persona reasoning and reach faster, more confident decisions.

The capability is particularly useful for exploring unexpected findings, unpacking nuance in persona responses, and gathering richer qualitative signal from a completed study.

 

How the platform works

A team describes what it wants to test (a headline, pricing page, or positioning statement) and selects a study type: message testing, landing page testing, user interviews, or an A/B comparison. Articos generates simulated personas matched to the target buyer, runs the interviews, and returns a structured report with findings traced back to individual persona responses. Agencies can white-label the output for client presentations.

“Most companies don’t skip research because they don’t care. They skip it because it takes weeks and costs thousands. Articos removes both barriers with peer-reviewed methodology that runs in under 30 minutes, and Live Calls now lets teams go even deeper by talking to personas directly,” said Shaheer Gadit, founder of Articos.

Articos marked the Live Calls launch this month with a Product Hunt debut, ranking third and drawing engagement from startups, marketing teams, and agencies exploring peer-reviewed approaches to AI-generated user research.

Articos is available today at articos.com. Product details and methodology documentation are available on the company website.

ScienceSoft has released new proprietary research on the role of tokenization in the real estate investment landscape. Drawing on market statistics, firsthand perspectives from industry experts, and ScienceSoft’s experience delivering technology projects in the niche, the report examines whether tokenized real estate will evolve into a mainstream investment vehicle.

The research forecasts that by 2030, the global market for tokenized real estate could reach up to $3 trillion and represent 15% of real estate assets under management. ScienceSoft concludes that market growth will depend less on technological innovation and more on the industry’s ability to overcome regulatory and market infrastructure barriers.

According to the report, institutional and high-net-worth investors already recognize tokenized real estate as one of the most promising asset classes, suggesting that investor demand is no longer an obstacle to adoption. It also finds that tokenization technology has matured beyond the experimental stage, with real estate owners and managers actively exploring, piloting, and deploying tokenization solutions.

At the same time, the report identifies secondary market liquidity as one of the industry’s biggest unresolved challenges, explaining how fragmented trading infrastructure and limited interoperability continue to restrict one of tokenization’s key value propositions. The report also examines how existing securities regulations constrain broader market participation and why evolving regulatory frameworks will play a critical role in accelerating market growth.

Beyond market forecasts, the study addresses practical questions real estate owners and managers face when implementing tokenization strategies. It compares custom and off-the-shelf tokenization platforms, explores how compliance requirements influence platform architecture, and reviews the solutions currently available for primary token issuance and secondary trading.

ScienceSoft also analyzes how tokenization is reshaping the broader real estate ecosystem. The report explores the opportunities and potential business model disruptions for investors, property sellers, asset managers, brokers, REITs, mortgage providers, technology vendors, and other market participants.

Lisle, Illinois, Sep 10, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE  Garrett Kappel Marketing has announced the expansion of its brand consistency services for businesses managing marketing across multiple communication channels. The expanded offering is designed to help organizations maintain a clear and recognizable brand presence as they increase their use of websites, social media, email, digital advertising, content marketing, and other customer-facing platforms.

The new service offering from Garrett Kappel Marketing focuses on one of the practical challenges facing growing businesses: keeping brand messaging consistent when different teams, platforms, and campaigns are involved. The company will work with businesses to review existing communication, identify areas of inconsistency, and establish clearer guidelines for how their brands are presented across channels.

Addressing a Common Challenge in Multi-Channel Marketing

Businesses have more ways to communicate with customers than ever before. A single organization may manage its website, social media accounts, email campaigns, paid advertising, sales materials, and online content at the same time.

That wider reach creates opportunities, but it can also make brand management more difficult. A company may use one tone on its website, another on social media, and a different message in its advertising. Even small differences can make a business appear less consistent to potential customers.

Garrett Kappel Marketing developed its expanded services to address this issue. The company will help organizations examine their communications as a whole rather than treating each marketing channel as a separate activity.
Consistency does not mean every piece of communication has to sound exactly the same, said Garrett Kappel, marketing professional. “It means customers should be able to recognize the same company, values, and promise wherever they encounter the brand.

Building a Clearer Brand Foundation

The expanded service begins with a review of a company’s existing brand communication. Garrett Kappel Marketing examines messaging, positioning, tone, audience priorities, and the way key information appears across different channels.

The process is intended to give businesses a practical picture of where their communication currently stands. Rather than introducing unnecessary changes, the company identifies areas where small adjustments may create greater consistency.

For growing organizations, this work can become particularly useful when marketing responsibilities are shared among employees, agencies, freelancers, or different departments. A clear framework gives everyone a common reference point when creating new materials.

Garrett Kappel Marketing also considers whether the brand’s communication reflects the company’s broader objectives. A consistent message has greater value when it supports what the business is actually trying to achieve.

Connecting Digital Channels With the Overall Brand

Digital marketing has made it easier for businesses to reach audiences, but it has also increased the number of places where brand communication appears.

A potential customer may discover a company through a search engine, visit its website, see an advertisement later that day, and then encounter the business on social media. Each interaction contributes to the customer’s understanding of the brand.

Garrett Kappel Marketing’s expanded services are intended to help businesses create continuity across those interactions. The company reviews how core messages are communicated and whether each channel contributes to the same overall positioning.

This approach allows businesses to maintain flexibility in their content while keeping their central message intact. A social media post can have a different format from a website page, but both should still feel connected to the same organization.

Supporting Growing Companies

The expanded brand consistency services are intended for businesses at different stages of development, particularly organizations that are adding marketing channels as they grow.

Smaller businesses often begin with a single website or social media presence. As their customer base develops, they may introduce paid advertising, email marketing, video, partnerships, or additional platforms. Without clear communication standards, the brand can gradually become difficult to manage.

Garrett Kappel Marketing helps organizations establish practical standards before inconsistencies become difficult to correct. These standards can cover areas such as messaging priorities, brand voice, customer-facing language, and the presentation of important business information.

For established organizations, the process can provide an opportunity to review existing communication and determine whether different teams and channels continue to represent the brand in a consistent manner.

Keeping Messaging Relevant Without Losing Identity

Brand consistency does not require businesses to remain static. Garrett Kappel Marketing recognizes that companies need to adjust their messaging as markets, customer expectations, and communication habits change.

The challenge is determining which changes strengthen the brand and which ones simply create unnecessary movement. A business can respond to new platforms or customer preferences while maintaining a recognizable identity.

The expanded services therefore place emphasis on establishing a stable foundation that allows businesses to adapt without losing clarity. New campaigns and communication formats can then be evaluated against that foundation before they are introduced.

This helps organizations distinguish between meaningful changes and short-lived marketing decisions.

A Practical Approach to Brand Management

Garrett Kappel Marketing has structured the expanded offering around practical recommendations that businesses can apply within their existing operations.

The company does not expect every organization to have a large marketing department or extensive resources. Its approach takes into account the people, tools, budgets, and processes already available to each business.

Recommendations may include adjustments to messaging, communication guidelines, channel coordination, content planning, or internal review processes. The objective is to give businesses a system they can realistically maintain.

“Brand consistency works best when it becomes part of everyday marketing rather than an occasional exercise, Kappel said. Businesses need guidelines that people can actually use when they are creating content, speaking with customers, or planning campaigns.

Supporting Customer Recognition and Trust

Consistent communication can also influence how quickly customers recognize a business and understand what it offers. When core messages remain stable across different interactions, customers have more opportunities to become familiar with the company.

Garrett Kappel Marketing views this familiarity as an important part of building lasting customer relationships. The company believes businesses should make it easy for customers to understand who they serve, what they provide, and what distinguishes them from alternatives.

Clear communication can also reduce confusion when customers move between different channels. A website, social media profile, advertisement, and email campaign should provide a connected experience rather than appearing to come from separate organizations.

Expanding Support Across Multi-Channel Environments

The expanded services are now available through Garrett Kappel Marketing for businesses seeking support with brand consistency and multi-channel communication.

The company will continue developing its service capabilities as businesses adopt new platforms and communication methods. Garrett Kappel Marketing expects the need for clear brand systems to remain important as organizations manage increasingly varied customer touchpoints.

The expansion reflects the company’s broader approach to marketing, which emphasizes clear positioning, careful planning, consistent execution, and ongoing evaluation.

By expanding its brand consistency services, Garrett Kappel Marketing aims to help businesses create a stronger connection between their marketing channels and the brand customers encounter across them.

  • America’s Above Ground Pool Experts™ puts real families, not staged marketing photos, at the center of its yearly celebration

Edison, New Jersey, Sep 10, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE  The Pool Factory, recognized across the country as America’s Above Ground Pool Experts™, is marking another year of its Annual Photo Contest, a tradition that invites homeowners to share the story of their backyard transformation in their own words and images.

Every year, customers from every corner of the United States send in photos of their finished above ground pools and semi-inground pools, giving future shoppers a look at what these pools actually look like once they become part of everyday family life. The contest has grown into one of the company’s most anticipated traditions, largely because it hands the microphone directly to the people who matter most: the customers themselves.

“Marketing photos can only tell part of the story,” said a spokesperson for The Pool Factory. “What actually convinces someone to move forward with an above ground pool is seeing a real backyard, owned by a real family, that looks lived in and loved. That’s what this contest gives us every single year.”

A Contest Built to Answer Real Questions

Homeowners considering an above ground pool tend to ask a similar set of questions before they commit. Is installation something an average family can manage on their own? Will the pool actually get used once the excitement wears off? Does this company live up to its reputation? Instead of answering those questions with more advertising, The Pool Factory lets its own customers respond directly through the contest.

To enter, customers submit a photo of their completed backyard along with a short explanation of why they chose The Pool Factory, a description of their installation experience, and their favorite part of owning a pool. Many of the top entries are later featured throughout the company’s website, including on specific product pages, so shoppers can see above ground pools set up in real yards instead of digital renderings.

Every Family Has a Different Reason

Part of what makes the contest special, according to The Pool Factory, is how different every winning story tends to be. Some families wanted to build a space their grandchildren would beg to visit. Others were chasing the feeling of a private resort just outside their back door. Many simply wanted a reason to slow down and spend more time together as a family.

One entrant described the impact this way:

“Our pool has become the heart of our backyard, bringing us together for family time, cookouts, celebrations, and countless summer memories.”

Another customer framed the purchase as something bigger than a backyard upgrade:

“Choosing The Pool Factory wasn’t just about buying a pool. It was about investing in quality time, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.”

Proving Installation Is Within Reach

A common hesitation among prospective buyers is whether they can realistically install an above ground pool themselves. Photo contest entries submitted year after year suggest the answer is yes, with the right planning and preparation.

One customer recalled tackling the project as a couple for the first time: “My wife and I installed it ourselves. It was the first time ever doing a pool, and all the parts were there. It ended up awesome.”

Another family made the installation a group effort: “Me, my wife, and our two kids installed it in one day.”

The Pool Factory notes that no two installations look exactly alike, and preparation still matters. But hearing directly from homeowners who have already completed the process gives new customers a clearer, more honest picture of what to expect.

A Backyard Transformation, Not Just a Pool

The feedback collected through the contest consistently goes beyond swimming itself. Customers describe their finished backyards using language that reflects a much bigger lifestyle shift. Entrants have called their spaces:

  • Their private resort

  • A peaceful retreat

  • The centerpiece of family gatherings

  • Their favorite place to unwind after a long day

  • A place where children and grandchildren build lifelong memories

For The Pool Factory, that shift in tone says something important. Customers aren’t just describing a pool purchase. They’re describing a backyard that has become central to how their family spends time together, season after season.

That kind of language rarely shows up in traditional advertising, which is part of why the contest carries so much weight internally. It is one thing for a company to claim its above ground pools change the way families use their backyards. It is another thing for dozens of homeowners to say it themselves, unprompted, year after year.

The company also points to the range of entries as proof that above ground pools and semi-inground pools work for a wide variety of homes. Entries have come from small suburban lots, sprawling rural properties, and first-time homeowners tackling a backyard project for the very first time. Despite those differences, the underlying theme stays the same: a once-unused backyard becomes the place everyone wants to be.

Supporting Customers Beyond the Sale

The Annual Photo Contest reflects a broader philosophy at The Pool Factory: helping customers get real, lasting value from their above ground pools and semi-inground pools long after the initial purchase. As America’s Above Ground Pool Experts™, the company has built its name on guiding homeowners through every stage of the process, from selecting the right pool for their backyard to supporting them through setup and beyond.

By continuing to feature authentic customer photos and firsthand accounts rather than staged photography, The Pool Factory gives future customers something advertising alone cannot offer: proof, straight from the families who have already made the investment.

About The Pool Factory

The Pool Factory is America’s Above Ground Pool Experts™, based in Edison, New Jersey. The company works to help homeowners across the country find above ground pools and semi-inground pools that fit their backyards and their families, supported by a customer-first approach and a growing community of homeowners who share their backyard transformations each year.

Miami, Florida, September 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Fiscal 2027 outlook of $400 million to $460 million reflects the expected first full-year contribution from the expansion of annual rare earth magnet production capacity in Pohang, Republic of Korea, to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets, as the January 1, 2027 DFARS mine-to-magnet restriction takes effect

Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, today provided initial revenue guidance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The Company expects revenue of $5 million to $8 million for fiscal 2026 and $400 million to $460 million for fiscal 2027.

The two-year guidance reflects EM&T’s expected transition from its current production base in 2026 to the first full year benefiting from its expansion in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines, placed on binding purchase orders, are scheduled for delivery and installation in November 2026 and are expected to increase annual rare earth magnet production capacity from approximately 1,000 metric tons to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets. The expansion is supported by agreed principal terms with Korea Electric Power Corporation to increase electrical infrastructure serving the Pohang operations from 130 megawatts to approximately 750 megawatts, approximately 1.3 million square feet of adjacent land to be acquired from the Pohang City Government, and conditional approval of an approximately $20.7 million grant from Pohang City and Gyeongbuk Province.

The outlook is based on management’s current assessment of demand from existing customers and the anticipated conversion of prospective customer opportunities into orders and shipments, together with assumptions regarding equipment commissioning, customer qualification, production ramp, feedstock availability, working capital, product mix, pricing and shipment timing. EM&T has secured non-China NdPr metal under its agreement with Senri Trading Co., Ltd., sourced from SRE Vietnam, and has taken delivery of its first shipment under that arrangement. The Company has also announced Tier-1 OEM quality certifications across six grades of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets, drawing on more than 18 years of commercial-scale rare earth processing and magnet-making experience. The fiscal 2027 range reflects anticipated utilization during the production ramp and does not represent the revenue potential of the planned capacity at full utilization.

“Providing guidance for both years gives investors a clearer view of the financial progression we expect as the Pohang expansion moves from equipment installation and commissioning in late 2026 into its first full year of operation in 2027,” said Christopher Clower, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of EM&T. “The ranges reflect the demand and operating assumptions we can reasonably incorporate today, including the pace of customer conversion, feedstock availability and the working capital required to support higher throughput. The guidance reflects anticipated utilization during the production ramp rather than full utilization of planned capacity, and we intend to update the market as our visibility improves.”

“January 1, 2027 marks a significant change in sourcing requirements for the U.S. defense industrial base,” said Andrew F. Knaggs, President of EM&T. “For neodymium-iron-boron magnets, DFARS 252.225-7052 will extend the restriction across the entire mine-to-magnet supply chain, while the July 2026 Executive Order substantially tightened the conditions for waivers and directed faster qualification of compliant sources. EM&T’s existing Korean manufacturing platform, non-China feedstock arrangements and planned capacity expansion are designed to help address that need at commercial scale while continuing to serve our established global customer base.”

“Delivering against this guidance is fundamentally a matter of execution,” said Frank Moon, Chief Executive Officer of EM&T. “Our priorities are to install and commission the additional equipment, bring the supporting facility and power expansion online, secure the feedstock required for higher production volumes, complete required customer qualifications and convert demand into shipments. Pohang allows us to scale from an established operating base, with an experienced engineering team and long-standing customer relationships. The operating record and capabilities we build there will also support our planned expansion in the United States and continued growth beyond 2027.”

In connection with its expansion, EM&T has engaged an international public relations and strategic communications firm to broaden the Company’s global market visibility, develop international partnerships, and strengthen its press and digital communications presence. The engagement is intended to expand awareness of the Company among institutional audiences, industry partners and financial media as EM&T moves through its capacity expansion and into fiscal 2027.

Miami, Florida, September 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Fiscal 2027 outlook of $400 million to $460 million reflects the expected first full-year contribution from the expansion of annual rare earth magnet production capacity in Pohang, Republic of Korea, to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets, as the January 1, 2027 DFARS mine-to-magnet restriction takes effect

Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, today provided initial revenue guidance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The Company expects revenue of $5 million to $8 million for fiscal 2026 and $400 million to $460 million for fiscal 2027.

The two-year guidance reflects EM&T’s expected transition from its current production base in 2026 to the first full year benefiting from its expansion in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines, placed on binding purchase orders, are scheduled for delivery and installation in November 2026 and are expected to increase annual rare earth magnet production capacity from approximately 1,000 metric tons to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets. The expansion is supported by agreed principal terms with Korea Electric Power Corporation to increase electrical infrastructure serving the Pohang operations from 130 megawatts to approximately 750 megawatts, approximately 1.3 million square feet of adjacent land to be acquired from the Pohang City Government, and conditional approval of an approximately $20.7 million grant from Pohang City and Gyeongbuk Province.

The outlook is based on management’s current assessment of demand from existing customers and the anticipated conversion of prospective customer opportunities into orders and shipments, together with assumptions regarding equipment commissioning, customer qualification, production ramp, feedstock availability, working capital, product mix, pricing and shipment timing. EM&T has secured non-China NdPr metal under its agreement with Senri Trading Co., Ltd., sourced from SRE Vietnam, and has taken delivery of its first shipment under that arrangement. The Company has also announced Tier-1 OEM quality certifications across six grades of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets, drawing on more than 18 years of commercial-scale rare earth processing and magnet-making experience. The fiscal 2027 range reflects anticipated utilization during the production ramp and does not represent the revenue potential of the planned capacity at full utilization.

“Providing guidance for both years gives investors a clearer view of the financial progression we expect as the Pohang expansion moves from equipment installation and commissioning in late 2026 into its first full year of operation in 2027,” said Christopher Clower, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of EM&T. “The ranges reflect the demand and operating assumptions we can reasonably incorporate today, including the pace of customer conversion, feedstock availability and the working capital required to support higher throughput. The guidance reflects anticipated utilization during the production ramp rather than full utilization of planned capacity, and we intend to update the market as our visibility improves.”

“January 1, 2027 marks a significant change in sourcing requirements for the U.S. defense industrial base,” said Andrew F. Knaggs, President of EM&T. “For neodymium-iron-boron magnets, DFARS 252.225-7052 will extend the restriction across the entire mine-to-magnet supply chain, while the July 2026 Executive Order substantially tightened the conditions for waivers and directed faster qualification of compliant sources. EM&T’s existing Korean manufacturing platform, non-China feedstock arrangements and planned capacity expansion are designed to help address that need at commercial scale while continuing to serve our established global customer base.”

Pohang allows us to scale from an established operating base, with an experienced engineering team and long-standing customer relationships. The operating record and capabilities we build there will also support our planned expansion in the United States and continued growth beyond 2027.”

In connection with its expansion, EM&T has engaged an international public relations and strategic communications firm to broaden the Company’s global market visibility, develop international partnerships, and strengthen its press and digital communications presence. The engagement is intended to expand awareness of the Company among institutional audiences, industry partners and financial media as EM&T moves through its capacity expansion and into fiscal 2027.
