The Fort Worth Press - Unusual Machines Inc. Joins Russell Microcap Index Amid Strategic U.S. Expansion

ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a leader in drone technology and component manufacturing, announced its inclusion in the Russell Microcap® Index, effective today. The addition reflects the company's accelerating growth and aligns with its ongoing strategy to scale U.S. operations and strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities.

"Being added to the Russell Microcap Index marks an important milestone in our growth journey," said CEO Allan Evans. "It reflects increasing visibility in the market and underscores the strategic steps we're taking to advance a strong, U.S.-based foundation for long-term success."

In parallel, Unusual Machines is expanding its U.S.-based workforce to support this next phase of growth, with hiring underway across engineering, operations, and manufacturing roles.

"As we scale, we're focused on more than just infrastructure-we're building the team that will power our next chapter," Evans added. "We're making targeted investments in areas that drive long-term value, while maintaining a measured approach to capital allocation as we work toward achieving cash flow positivity over the next four to six quarters."

The announcement follows the company's recent lease of a 17,000-square-foot drone motor production facility in Orlando, Florida-part of a broader strategy to localize manufacturing, enhance cost efficiency through tariff advantages, and better control quality and lead times. The company's dual-sourcing approach will allow it to offer both U.S.-made and globally sourced motor variants, providing flexibility to meet regulatory requirements and evolving customer preferences.
