IotaComm® Sponsors Healthy Green Schools & Colleges Program to Advance Healthier, Smarter School Environments Nationwide

IotaComm

IotaComm, Inc. ("IotaComm"), a next-generation wireless communications and Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider, is proud to announce its official sponsorship of the Healthy Green Schools & Colleges (HGSC) program. As a sponsor, IotaComm is supporting the nationwide effort to transform K–12 and higher education facilities into cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environments for students and staff—no matter the zip code. HGSC, a program of the Healthy Schools Campaign, is designed to help school facility professionals identify low- and no-cost strategies to improve indoor air quality (IAQ), sustainability, and operational efficiency. Developed in collaboration with school facilities experts, the program equips institutions with the tools to address workforce development, resource constraints, and long-standing environmental health disparities, especially in historically underfunded communities. “This partnership isn’t just about measuring air quality—it’s about making it meaningful,” said Charlie Thiel, Chief Revenue Officer at IotaComm. “Where others offer a snapshot, we provide the full movie. Our Delphi360™ platform collects and transforms data into operational intelligence that district leaders can use to help their schools not just meet standards, but strategically improve environments where students learn and teachers work.” IotaComm’s Delphi360™ platform uses secure connectivity and battery-powered LoRaWAN® sensors to collect key IAQ parameters—including carbon dioxide (CO₂), particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), temperature, humidity, and VOCs—every 30 minutes. This data is then transformed into actionable insights that empower district leaders, superintendents, and facility teams to make smarter, evidence-based decisions. These insights are especially valuable in helping schools meet HGSC certification requirements, such as CO₂ monitoring across 100% of occupied spaces. “The highest value of IAQ data is in trend analysis—not just static readings,” Thiel added. “Delphi360 helps districts identify issues before they escalate and demonstrates measurable improvements that strengthen transparency with their communities.” A Data-Driven Path to Healthier Schools HGSC’s three-step improvement model—Assess, Commit, Improve—guides institutions at every stage of their sustainability journey: Assess: Schools complete a free online self-assessment to evaluate their current performance and score themselves against the HGSC standard. Commit: Schools officially join the program and gain access to training, peer support, and best-practice guidebooks. Improve: Schools implement changes at their own pace, with expert guidance to address root causes, track progress, and eventually achieve certification status. “Unhealthy indoor air, poor ventilation, and harmful chemicals from outdated maintenance practices put students and educators at risk and impact learning outcomes,” said Sara Porter, Program Director of Healthy Green Schools & Colleges and Vice President of External Affairs at Healthy Schools Campaign. “These challenges are most acute in schools serving low-income communities and students of color. HGSC is designed to remove systemic barriers and create healthier learning environments for all.” “IotaComm’s data-driven approach enhances our program by turning indoor air quality goals into everyday operational improvements,” Porter added. “It’s this kind of practical innovation that helps schools move from intention to impact.” Supporting a Mission of Equity, Transparency, and Impact For IotaComm, this sponsorship represents a natural extension of its mission to deliver scalable, sustainable technology that bridges the gap between data, equity, and action in public infrastructure. We are not just supporting an initiative – we’re helping redefine what it means to create safe, equitable learning environments in the 21 st century. The partnership also aligns with IotaComm’s active crowdfunding campaign, which invites everyday investors to fuel the company’s growth and mission of making smart, healthy infrastructure accessible to every community.

Under Construction: Four Stocks Capitalizing on the U.S. Building Boom

JFB PLD LEN TOL

The U.S. construction industry is showing robust growth in 2025, with total construction spending reaching an annualized $2.19 trillion as of March—up nearly 3% year-over-year. Residential demand remains strong amid affordability pressures, while commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects continue steady expansion. This broad-based momentum is creating fertile ground for companies operating across the construction and real estate sectors to capitalize on rising opportunities and innovation. With that solid industry tailwind, let’s explore four stocks making waves in this dynamic market. JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) continues to build on its momentum in 2025, announcing this week that it has signed over $69.5 million in new construction and development contracts across a broad range of verticals, including hospitality, commercial retail, industrial, high-end residential, and real estate development. The new deals come on the heels of a standout first quarter that saw JFB report a 93% year-over-year revenue increase, further solidifying its early status as one of the more intriguing small-cap entrants in the real estate and construction space. “This achievement is such an important milestone for our company,” said CEO Joseph F. Basile, III, noting that the diverse portfolio of new projects reinforces JFB’s ability to leverage its relationships and operational strengths across multiple sectors. “Our ability to keep our promises to our customers remains paramount to our continued success.” Since its Nasdaq debut in March via a $5.16 million IPO, JFB has been aggressive in securing high-value projects that reflect both its operational ambition and sector versatility. In April, the company kicked off construction on its largest residential development to date—a $21 million, 79-unit luxury townhome community in Port Salerno, Florida. That was followed by the announcement of a $15 million contract for a 103,000-square-foot luxury auto storage facility in Charlotte, NC, marking the company’s largest industrial project to date. Earlier this month, JFB deepened its push into the hospitality sector, signing two significant deals with Marriott Hotels. The first—a $18 million co-development of a new Courtyard by Marriott in Olive Branch, Mississippi—showcased JFB’s evolution into a true development partner. The second was a $6.7 million contract to convert a Holiday Inn into a Courtyard by Marriott in Melbourne, Florida. According to Basile, these back-to-back hospitality wins are expected to be “key to establishing long-term brand relationships and future pipeline growth.” Taken together, these recent announcements offer a clear picture of JFB’s post-IPO strategy: secure high-value, high-visibility projects across multiple sectors while reinforcing its brand as a versatile, trustworthy contractor with national reach. As of May, JFB has provided services in 36 states and is increasingly targeting regions with rapid population growth and infrastructure demand. JFB appears to be executing on its growth blueprint with speed and focus. The $69.5 million in new contracts is not only a headline number, it’s a statement that JFB aims to scale aggressively while maintaining the relationship-driven, hands-on approach that built its foundation. Prologis (NYSE: PLD) continues to reinforce its position as the backbone of global logistics infrastructure. The industrial REIT recently declared another $1.01 per-share quarterly dividend—unchanged from the March payout and part of a 5% year-over-year increase—underscoring its stability and ongoing commitment to shareholder returns. The company’s Q1 earnings report highlights a robust balance sheet, including $6.5 billion in available liquidity and a low debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.9x. With 96% of equity exposure and nearly all forecasted earnings through 2027 denominated in or hedged to the U.S. dollar, Prologis remains well insulated from currency volatility. In April, Prologis led an initiative with other major industrial REITs to standardize non-GAAP property metrics such as occupancy, retention, and rent change—an effort aimed at improving sector-wide transparency and investor comparability. The move reinforces Prologis' position as a sector leader not just in scale, but in setting best practices across the industry. With a weighted average interest rate of just 3.2% on total debt and a long-term funding horizon, PLD enters the second half of 2025 with substantial financial flexibility and sector-defining relevance. While smaller names are chasing growth, Prologis is proving that size and discipline remain powerful long-term advantages. Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN) continues to navigate a challenging housing market while executing its strategic shift toward an asset-light, technology-driven homebuilding model. The company reported first quarter 2025 revenues of $7.2 billion, driven by a 6% rise in home deliveries to 17,834, even as average sales prices softened slightly to $408,000 amid persistent affordability pressures. Lennar’s operational efficiency improved, with cycle times down 11% year over year and inventory turns increasing to 1.7 times, reflecting tighter inventory management. The company’s disciplined use of incentives, including interest rate buydowns, has helped maintain sales momentum and manage supply despite a macroeconomic environment marked by high inflation and consumer uncertainty. Financially, Lennar remains solid, ending the quarter with $2.3 billion in cash and no borrowings on its $3 billion revolving credit facility. Its balance sheet strength was further bolstered by a $703 million share repurchase program and the completion of the Millrose spin-off, which accelerates Lennar’s transition to a pure-play homebuilder. The acquisition of Rausch Coleman Homes expanded Lennar’s presence in key Southern and Midwestern markets, reinforcing its geographic footprint. Meanwhile, the company continues to grow its multifamily segment through Quarterra Multifamily, which recently launched leasing at The Ansel, a luxury apartment community in Frisco, Texas. Looking ahead, Lennar expects second quarter home deliveries of 19,500 to 20,500 and anticipates maintaining gross margins near 18%, underscoring its focus on balancing growth with profitability as market conditions evolve. Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) reported solid Q2 fiscal 2025 results on May 20, 2025, while expanding in luxury residential markets through new home communities and apartment developments. For the quarter ending April 30, 2025, Toll Brothers posted net income of $352.4 million, or $3.50 per diluted share, compared to $481.6 million, or $4.55 per share, a year earlier. The prior year included a $124 million land sale gain, which when excluded, offers a more comparable basis. Home sales revenues reached a record $2.71 billion, up 2% year-over-year, driven by a 10% increase in home deliveries to 2,899 units. Net signed contract value declined 11% to $2.60 billion, and backlog fell 7% to $6.84 billion. Margins remained steady with a home sales gross margin of 26.0%, slightly above last year’s 25.8%. Adjusted home sales gross margin stood at 27.5%, reflecting effective cost controls amid inflation. Chairman and CEO Douglas Yearley, Jr. highlighted Toll Brothers’ diversified luxury portfolio and strategic discipline, noting, “Record home sales revenues significantly exceeded expectations, underscoring broad appeal across price points and markets.” The company increased its quarterly dividend by 9% to $0.25 per share, signaling confidence in cash flow and shareholder returns. Toll Brothers Apartment Living, the rental division, recently opened Navona, a 400-unit luxury apartment community in Mesa, Arizona, featuring upscale finishes, smart home tech, and resort-style amenities tailored to one of Phoenix’s fastest-growing submarkets. In single-family housing, the company announced Toll Brothers at HighPoint, a gated Scottsdale community with 122 home sites priced from $1.9 million, and final opportunities to build in Laurel Pointe, Orlando, with homes from $1.7 million. Toll Brothers invested approximately $723 million in land during Q2, adding 4,380 lots and growing its land bank to roughly 78,600 lots to support future growth. The company reaffirmed fiscal 2025 guidance of 11,200 to 11,600 home deliveries and an adjusted home sales gross margin near 27.25%, ending the quarter with $686.5 million in cash and $2.19 billion in available credit. With its leadership in luxury homebuilding, expanding multifamily portfolio, and strong financial footing, Toll Brothers is positioned to meet ongoing demand for high-end housing.

IotaComm® Completes Acquisition of Iota Spectrum Partners, LP, Creating Unified Ownership of Nationwide Spectrum Assets

IotaComm

IotaComm, Inc. ("IotaComm" or the "Company"), a leading private wireless communications and Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider, announced today that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Iota Spectrum Partners, LP ("the Partnership"). As a result of the transaction, IotaComm now owns 100% of the outstanding partnership units and, accordingly, consolidates full ownership and control of its nationwide FCC-licensed 800 MHz spectrum portfolio. The acquisition was completed through a structured Tender Offer to Exchange, whereby holders of the Partnership Units received shares of IotaComm Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.0125 shares for every 1 Partnership Unit. With the closing of the acquisition, former Partnership Unit holders collectively own more than 80% of IotaComm’s outstanding Common Stock. The consolidated ownership positions IotaComm to better execute its strategic vision of building the nation’s leading carrier-grade, low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) dedicated to smart buildings, smart cities, and the future of data-driven infrastructure. "This transaction marks a significant milestone in IotaComm’s evolution," said Terrence DeFranco, Chairman and CEO of IotaComm. "By unifying the ownership of our licensed spectrum assets under a single corporate structure, we have simplified our business model, strengthened our financial and operational foundation, and enhanced our ability to raise growth capital. This positions IotaComm to accelerate the deployment of our nationwide LPWAN network, expand our data services, and drive innovation at the intersection of connectivity, data analytics, and sustainability." IotaComm’s network leverages LoRaWAN® technology — the globally recognized open standard for secure, low-power, wide-area IoT connectivity — and the Company is an active participant in the LoRa Alliance®. With full ownership of its FCC-licensed spectrum portfolio, IotaComm is uniquely positioned to deliver a premium, carrier-grade LoRaWAN® service offering that enables new possibilities for smart building, smart city, and industrial IoT applications across the United States. The decision to pursue full consolidation was unanimously recommended by the Board of Directors of IotaComm and the General Partner of the Partnership after careful evaluation. The unified structure is expected to eliminate complexities that previously hindered valuation and financing opportunities and to improve the Company’s strategic flexibility. With this consolidation, IotaComm owns approximately 500 million MHz-pops of licensed spectrum, a critical strategic asset valued at approximately $84 million. IotaComm remains focused on enabling a healthier, safer, and more sustainable society by providing ubiquitous IoT connectivity and valuable data-driven insights to customers across the commercial, municipal, and industrial sectors. The Company expects that the strengthened corporate structure will support its continued growth and leadership in the fast-expanding market for smart infrastructure solutions. About IotaComm, Inc.
