NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(Dollars are presented in thousands, except share, per share and per employee data or unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Broadwind, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. ("Broadwind Heavy Fabrications"), Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc. ("Brad Foote") and Broadwind Industrial Solutions, LLC ("Broadwind Industrial Solutions"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period, which may differ materially due to, among other things, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Company Description

Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean technology and other specialized applications. The Company provides technologically advanced high value products to customers with complex systems and stringent quality standards that operate in energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, primarily in the United States of America (the "U.S."). The Company's capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following: heavy fabrications, welding, metal rolling, coatings, gear cutting and shaping, gearbox manufacturing and repair, heat treatment, precision machining, assembly, engineering and packaging solutions. The Company's most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, which accounted for 43% and 51% of the Company's revenue during the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company typically meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, the 2022 Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment financing, access to the public and private debt and/or equity markets, and has the option to raise capital from the sale of the Company's securities under the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (as discussed below), and proceeds from any sales of Advanced Manufacturing Production tax credits ("AMP credits") (discussed in Note 5 "AMP Credits" of these condensed consolidated financial statements).

See Note 8, "Debt and Credit Agreements," of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company's other debt.

Debt and finance lease obligations at September 30, 2024 totaled $23,353, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $13,637. The Company's outstanding debt includes $5,323 outstanding from the senior secured term loan under the 2022 Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company borrowed on the revolving line of credit and repaid such borrowings during the period. The Company had $9,919 drawn on the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2024. The Company's revolving line of credit balance, if any, is included in the "Line of credit and current maturities of long-term debt" line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On September 22, 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 12, 2023 (the "Form S-3"), replacing a prior shelf registration statement which expired on October 12, 2023. The Form S-3 will expire on October 11, 2026. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows the Company to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, the Company would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes.

On September 12, 2022, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and HC Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agents shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share with an aggregate sales price of up to $12,000. The Company will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. No shares of the Company's common stock were issued under the Sales Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, shares of the Company's common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement. Any additional shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and a 424(b) prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

The Company also utilizes supply chain financing arrangements as a component of its funding for working capital, which accelerates receivable collections and helps to better manage cash flow. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell certain of its accounts receivable balances to banking institutions who have agreed to advance amounts equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The balances under these agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, as they are sold without recourse. Cash proceeds from these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense by the Company.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold account receivables totaling $22,540 and $42,579, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers' financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $583 and $1,099, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold account receivables totaling $12,084 and $31,081, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers' financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $334 and $649, respectively.

In January 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a supply agreement for wind tower purchases valued at approximately $175 million with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer. Under the terms of the supply agreement, order fulfillment was to occur beginning in 2023 through year-end 2024. In early November 2023, the parties jointly agreed to shift approximately half of the contracted tower section orders initially planned for 2024 into 2025, while maintaining the total number of tower sections stipulated under the supply agreement.

The Company anticipates that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, sales of shares under the Sales Agreement, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, access to the public and private debt and/or equity markets, any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S-3, and proceeds from sales of AMP credits will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

If assumptions regarding the Company's production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company's large customers, the Company's ability to finalize the terms of the remaining obligations under a supply agreement with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management's expectations, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues.

If the Company's operational performance deteriorates, the Company may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit the Company's operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any attempt to raise equity through the public markets could have a negative effect on the Company's stock price, making an equity raise more difficult or more dilutive. Any additional equity financing or equity-linked financing, if available, will be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other operating and financial restrictions on the Company. While management believes that the Company will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate its businesses and to meet the Company's financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that the Company's operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities or equity or equity-linked financings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to meet these financial obligations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management's Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, health insurance reserves, and valuation allowances on deferred taxes. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - REVENUES

Revenues are recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Table of Contents

Revenue within the Company's Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments, as well as industrial fabrication product line revenues within the Heavy Fabrications segment, are generally recognized at a point in time, typically when the promised goods or services are physically transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the purchase order and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. If applicable, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.

For many tower sales within the Company's Heavy Fabrications segment, products are sold under terms included in bill and hold sales arrangements that result in different timing for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements only when there is a substantive reason for the agreement, the ordered goods are identified separately as belonging to the customer and not available to fill other orders, the goods are currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Assuming these required revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon completion of product manufacture and customer acceptance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a portion of revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment over time, as the products had no alternative use to the Company and the Company had an enforceable right to payment, including profit, upon termination of the contracts. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company recognized revenue for contracts that meet over time criteria of $1,373 and $3,720 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $2,282 and $9,027 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the applicable Heavy Fabrications contracts because the projects are labor intensive. Contract assets are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied but the Company is not yet entitled to payment. Contract assets represent the Company's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the end of the period.

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. Customer deposits, deferred revenue and other receipts are deferred and recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. Cash payments to customers are classified as reductions of revenue in the Company's statement of operations.

The Company does not disclose the value of the unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

NOTE 5 - AMP CREDITS

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized gross AMP credits totaling $3,132 and $6,852, respectively, within the Heavy Fabrications segment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized AMP credits totaling $4,488 and $11,217, respectively, within the Heavy Fabrications segment. These AMP credits were introduced as part of the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA"), which was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind components. Manufacturers of wind components qualify for the AMP credits based on the total rated capacity, expressed on a per watt basis, of the completed wind turbine for which such component is designed. The credit applies to each component produced and sold in the U.S. beginning in 2023 through 2032. Wind towers within the Company's Heavy Fabrications segment are eligible for credits of $0.03 per watt for each wind tower produced. In calculating the eligible credit, the Company relied on the megawatt rating provided by the customers. Manufacturers who qualify for the AMP credits can apply to the Internal Revenue Service for cash refunds of the AMP credits, sell the AMP credits to third parties for cash, or apply the AMP credits against taxable income. The Company recognized the AMP credits as a reduction to cost of sales in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The assets related to the AMP credits are recognized as current assets in the "AMP credit receivable" line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 2023 and 2024 AMP credits to a third party. At that time, the Company sold a portion of the gross 2023 credits in the amount of $6,952 and recognized a 6.5% discount on the sale in the amount of $452 which was recognized in cost of sales. In addition, the Company wrote down the remaining receivable of $7,541 to net realizable value and recorded the expected loss on sale of $490 in cost of sales. The remaining 2023 AMP credit receivable was collected during the first quarter of 2024. The Company also incurred other miscellaneous administrative costs related to selling the credits in the amount of $254, $197 of which has been recorded as cost of sales, with the remaining capitalized and included in the "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized gross AMP credits totaling $6,852 and recognized a 6.5% discount on the credits totaling $445, which was recognized in cost of sales. The Company also incurred other miscellaneous administrative costs related to the credits in the amount of $64, which have been recorded as cost of sales. Additionally, costs totaling $42 are included in the "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2024.

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the fair value assigned to definite-lived assets such as trade names and customer relationships as part of the Company's acquisition of Brad Foote completed in 2007 as well as the noncompetition agreements, trade names and customer relationships that were part of the Company's acquisition of Red Wolf Company, LLC completed in 2017. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with a remaining life range from 1 to 3 years.

Credit Facility

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender ("Wells Fargo"), which replaced its prior credit facility and provided the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the "2022 Credit Facility"). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. At September 30, 2024, deferred financing costs related to the 2022 Credit Facility were $283 primarily related to the revolving credit loan, which is net of accumulated amortization of $217. At December 31, 2023, deferred financing costs related to the 2022 Credit Facility were $359 which is net of accumulated amortization of $141. These costs are included in the "Other assets" line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

On February 8, 2023, the Company executed Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver which waived the Company's fourth quarter minimum EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) requirement for the period ended December 31, 2022, amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) requirements for the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2024 through and including June 30, 2024 and each twelve-month period thereafter, and amended the minimum EBITDA requirements applicable to the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

The 2022 Credit Agreement, as amended, contains customary covenants limiting the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets, change the nature of its business, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The initial term of the revolving credit facility matures August 4, 2027. The term loan also matures on August 4, 2027, with monthly payments based on an 84-month amortization.

As of September 30, 2024, there was $15,242 of outstanding indebtedness under the 2022 Credit Facility, with the ability to borrow an additional $17,614. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the effective interest rates of the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loan was 7.08% and 7.33%, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the effective interest rate of the senior secured revolving credit facility and the effective rate of the senior secured term loan were 7.64% and 7.89%, respectively.

Other

In addition, the Company has outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $1,706 and $1,361 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with $365 and $163 included in the "Line of credit and current maturities of long-term debt" line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $1 to $20 and an interest rate of approximately 7%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable have maturity dates that range from September 2028 to June 2029.

NOTE 9 - LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment. The leases are accounted for under Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), and the Company elected to apply each available practical expedient. The discount rates used for the leases are based on an interest rate yield curve developed for the leases in the Company's lease portfolio.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had additional operating leases that resulted in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations in the amount of $29 and $65,respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had additional finance leases associated with property, plant, and equipment of $1,376 and $780,respectively.

Some of the Company's facility leases include options to renew. The exercise of the renewal options is typically at the Company's discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes them in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise them.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits, approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Based upon interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt is approximately equal to its fair value.

10
Table of Contents

The Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Financial instruments are assessed quarterly to determine the appropriate classification within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between fair value classifications are made based upon the nature and type of the observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to changes in the Company's valuation allowance, permanent differences and provisions for state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $133, compared to a provision for income taxes of $79 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. On August 16, 2022, Congress enacted the IRA which includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind components produced and sold in the U.S. beginning in 2023 through 2032. These credits will have no impact on income tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2024, open tax years in federal and some state jurisdictions date back to 1996 due to the taxing authorities' ability to adjust operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had federal and unapportioned state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $290,233 of which $227,781 will generally begin to expire in 2026. The majority of the NOL carryforwards will expire in various years from 2028 through 2037. NOLs generated after January 1, 2018 will not expire.

Since the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits, they will not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the expiration of the applicable statues of limitations within the next twelve months. In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone certain changes in stock ownership. The Company's ability to utilize NOL carryforwards and built-in losses may be limited, under Section 382 of the IRC or otherwise, by the Company's issuance of common stock or by other changes in stock ownership. Upon completion of the Company's analysis of Section 382 of the IRC in 2010, the Company determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership triggered an annual limitation on NOL carryforwards and built-in losses available for utilization, thereby currently limiting annual NOL usage to $14,284 per year. Further limitations may occur, depending on additional future changes in stock ownership. To the extent the Company's use of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses is significantly limited in the future, the Company's income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would be if the Company were able to use NOL carryforwards and built-in losses without such limitation, which could result in lower profits and the loss of benefits from these attributes.

In February 2013, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, which was approved by the Company's stockholders and extended in 2016, 2019 and 2022 for additional three-year periods (as amended, the "Rights Plan"), designed to preserve the Company's substantial tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under Section 382 of the IRC.

The Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, becoming the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the Company's common stock and thereby triggering a further limitation of the Company's available NOL carryforwards. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to the Company's stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2013. Each Right entitles its holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $7.26 per Right, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Rights Plan, any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company's common stock without the approval of the Board would be subject to significant dilution in the ownership interest of that person or group. Stockholders who owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of February 12, 2013 will not trigger the preferred share purchase rights unless they acquire additional shares after that date.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024.

NOTE 13 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER MATTERS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of its business. On an ongoing basis, the Company is often the subject of, or party to, various legal claims by other parties against the Company, by the Company against other parties, or involving the Company, which arise in the normal course of its business. While the results of these legal proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. It is possible that if one or more of such matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company's financial condition and cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability.

NOTE 14 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of the accounting standards issued or effective in the current fiscal year may be applicable to it, the Company believes that none of the new standards have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires additional disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be applied retrospectively and will be effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03,"Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Incomes Statement Expenses," which serves to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 15- SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is organized into reporting segments based on the nature of the products offered and business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker.

The Company's segments and their product and service offerings are summarized below:

Heavy Fabrications

The Company provides large, complex and precision fabrications to customers in a broad range of industrial markets. The Company's most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, although it has diversified into other industrial markets in order to improve capacity utilization, reduce customer concentrations, and reduce exposure to uncertainty related to governmental policies currently impacting the U.S. wind energy industry. Within the U.S. wind energy industry, the Company provides steel towers and adapters primarily to wind turbine manufacturers. Production facilities, located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Abilene, Texas, are situated in close proximity to the primary U.S. domestic wind energy and equipment manufacturing hubs. The twofacilities have a combined annual tower production capacity of up to approximately 550 towers (1,650 tower sections), sufficient to support turbines generating more than 1,500 MW of power. The Company has expanded its production capabilities and leveraged manufacturing competencies, including welding, lifting capacity and stringent quality practices, into aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") components utilized in surface and underground mining, construction, material handling, oil and gas ("O&G") and other infrastructure markets. The Company has designed and manufactures a mobile, modular pressure reducing system for the compressed natural gas virtual pipeline market. The Company manufactures components for buckets, shovels, car bodies, drill masts and other products that support mining and construction markets.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Compliance and Remediation Liabilities

The Company's operations and products are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and sells products governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, soil and groundwater contamination, employee health and safety, and product content, performance and packaging. Certain environmental laws may impose the entire cost or a portion of the cost of investigating and cleaning up a contaminated site, regardless of fault, upon any one or more of a number of parties, including the current or previous owners or operators of the site. These environmental laws also impose liability on any person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at a contaminated site. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of sites and users of disposal sites for personal injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous substances from those sites.

Allowance for Credit Losses

 Beginning January 1, 2023, the Company assessed and recorded an allowance for credit losses using the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The adjustment for credit losses to management's current estimate is recorded in net income as credit loss expense. All credit losses were on trade receivables and/or contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers. The adjustment for credit losses using this CECL model on accounts receivable and contract assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was not material. 

14
Table of Contents

The Company monitors its collections and write-off experience to assess whether or not adjustments to its allowance estimates are necessary. Changes in trends in any of the factors that the Company believes may impact the collectability of its accounts receivable, or modifications to its credit standards, collection practices and other related policies may impact the Company's allowance for credit losses and its financial results. The activity in the accounts receivable allowance liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

Collateral

In select instances, the Company has pledged specific inventory and machinery and equipment assets to serve as collateral on related payable or financing obligations.

Liquidated Damages

In certain customer contracts, the Company has agreed to pay liquidated damages in the event of qualifying delivery or production delays. These damages are typically limited to a specific percentage of the value of the product in question and/or are dependent on actual losses sustained by the customer. The Company does not believe that this potential exposure will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The reserve for liquidated damages at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was insignificant.

KEY METRICS USED BY MANAGEMENT TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we use certain other financial measures to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures primarily consist of adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and free cash flow which help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, assess operational efficiencies, oversee our overall liquidity, and evaluate our overall financial performance.

(1)

We provide non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation and other stock payments, restructuring costs, impairment charges, proxy contest-related expenses, and other non-cash gains and losses) as supplemental information regarding our business performance. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA when it internally evaluates the performance of our business, reviews financial trends and makes operating and strategic decisions. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides a better understanding of our past financial performance and future results, and it allows investors to evaluate our performance using the same methodology and information as used by our management. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.

(2)

We define free cash flow as adjusted EBITDA plus or minus changes in operating working capital less capital expenditures net of any proceeds from disposals of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our business for purposes such as repaying maturing debt and funding future investments.

(3)

We define operating working capital as accounts receivable and inventory net of accounts payable and customer deposits.

(4)

Our backlog at September 30, 2024 and 2023 is net of revenue recognized over time. Backlog as of September 30, 2024 has been adjusted to reflect updated assumptions related to raw material pricing (which is a customer passthrough) and other variables.

(5)

We define the book-to-bill as the ratio of new orders we received, net of cancellations, to revenue during a period.

OUR BUSINESS

Third Quarter Overview

We received $22,975 in new orders in the third quarter of 2024, up from $15,890 in the third quarter of 2023. Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, orders increased primarily due to the timing of orders associated with wind repowering projects. Partially offsetting this was a 56% decrease in industrial fabrication orders, primarily due to reduced industrial and mining demand. Orders within our Industrial Solutions segment increased 52% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in orders associated with new gas turbine projects. Gearing segment orders increased 46% from the prior year period primarily due to improved demand from most markets served.

We recognized revenue of $35,503 in the third quarter of 2024, down 38% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment wind tower revenue decreased 45% from the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in tower sections sold as a global wind turbine manufacturer shifted approximately half of its contracted tower section orders initially planned for 2024 into 2025. Additionally, industrial fabrication revenues decreased primarily due to reduced shipments of our Pressure Reducing Systems ("PRS") units from the prior year period. Gearing segment revenue decreased 20% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to reduced shipments to oil and gas ("O&G") customers, partially offset by increased shipments to industrial customers. Industrial Solutions segment revenue decreased by 23% from the prior year period primarily due to reduced shipments to international customers.

We recorded net income of $74 or $0.00 per share in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $4,394 or $0.21 per share in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease in net income was primarily attributable to lower tower sales within our Heavy Fabrications segment and the corresponding decrease in the Advanced Manufacturing Production tax credits ("AMP credits") earned.

Consolidated

Revenues decreased by $21,660 as compared to the prior year period as we experienced a drop in revenue across all three operating segments. Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, wind tower revenue decreased 45% from the prior year period primarily due to a 54% decrease in tower sections sold as a global wind turbine manufacturer shifted approximately half of its contracted tower section orders initially planned for 2024 into 2025. In addition, industrial fabrications revenue decreased by 50% due largely to reduced sales of our PRS units. Gearing segment revenue decreased 20% relative to the comparable prior year period, reflective of reduced shipments to O&G customers, partially offset by increased shipments to industrial customers. Industrial Solutions segment revenue decreased 23% from the prior year period primarily due to reduced shipments to international customers.

Gross profit decreased by $4,970 when compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower sales and the decrease in AMP credits earned. Operating expenses decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower incentive compensation and commissions in the current year quarter.

Net income was $74 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $4,394 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in net income was primarily due to the factors described above.

Industrial Solutions segment orders increased from the prior year period primarily due to improved orders associated with new gas turbine projects, partially offset by reduced orders associated with aftermarket projects. Segment revenues increased from the prior year period primarily due to increased shipments of aftermarket gas turbine content, partially offset by reduced shipments to international customers. Operating income increased versus the prior-year period primarily as a result of higher sales and a more profitable mix of product sold.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to the absence of professional fees associated with the contested proxy election recognized in the prior year quarter and lower employee compensation costs.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 4, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender ("Wells Fargo"), providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the "2022 Credit Facility"). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. As of September 30, 2024, cash totaled $1,384, an increase of $285 from December 31, 2023. Debt and finance lease obligations at September 30, 2024 totaled $23,353. As of September 30, 2024, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional$17,614 under the 2022 Credit Facility.

In addition to the 2022 Credit Facility, we also utilize supply chain financing arrangements as a component of our funding for working capital, which accelerates receivable collections and helps to better manage cash flow. Under these agreements, we have agreed to sell certain of our accounts receivable balances to banking institutions who have agreed to advance amounts equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The balances under these agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, as they are sold without recourse. Cash proceeds from these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense.

We also have outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $1,706 and $1,361 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with $365 and $163 included in the "Line of Credit and current maturities of long-term debt" line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $1 to $20 and an interest rate of approximately 7%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable have maturity dates that range from September 2028 to June 2029.

On September 22, 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 12, 2023 (the "Form S-3"), replacing a prior shelf registration statement which expired on October 12, 2023. The Form S-3 will expire on October 11, 2026. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows us to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, we would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes.

On September 12, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and HC Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may sell from time to time through the Agents shares of our common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $12,000. We will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. No shares of the Company's common stock were issued under the Sales Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023 or nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, shares of our common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement. Any additional shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and a 424(b) prospectus supplement.

We anticipate that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, potential proceeds from the sale of securities under the Sales Agreement, access to the public or private debt and/or equity markets including any potential proceeds from the sale of further securities under the Form S-3, and proceeds from sales of AMP credits will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

If assumptions regarding our production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of our large customers, our ability to finalize the terms of the remaining obligations under a supply agreement with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management's expectations, we may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues.

If our operational performance deteriorates, we may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit our operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any attempt to raise equity through the public markets could have a negative effect on our stock price, making an equity raise more difficult or more dilutive. Any additional equity financing or equity-linked financing, if available, will be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other operating and financial restrictions on us. While we believe that we will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate our businesses and to meet our financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that our operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities or equity or equity-linked financings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet these financial obligations.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Nine Months Ended

Operating Cash Flows

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities totaled $986 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $22,593 during the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the current year period was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of the 2023 AMP credits received during the current year period, in addition to a decrease in accounts receivable during the current year period compared to a significant increase in accounts receivable during the prior year period due to a change in payment terms with a major customer. This was partially offset by a more significant decrease in customer deposits during the current year period.

Investing Cash Flows

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities totaled $3,120, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5,300 during the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities as compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to a net decrease in purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Cash Flows

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $4,391, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $16,901 during the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased net borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility in the current year period.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The preceding discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Portions of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the discussion and analysis in this Part I, Item 2, contain "forward looking statements", as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), that reflect our current expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. We have tried to identify forward looking statements by using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "will," "should," "may," "plan" and similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact. Our forward-looking statements may include or relate to our beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions with respect to the following: (i) the impact of global health concerns on the economies and financial markets and the demand for our products; (ii) state, local and federal regulatory frameworks affecting the industries in which we compete, including the wind energy industry, and the related extension, continuation or renewal of federal tax incentives and grants, including the advanced manufacturing tax credits, and state renewable portfolio standards as well as new or continuing tariffs on steel or other products imported into the United States; (iii) our customer relationships and our substantial dependency on a few significant customers and our efforts to diversify our customer base and sector focus and leverage relationships across business units; (iv) our ability to operate our business efficiently, comply with our debt obligations, manage capital expenditures and costs effectively, and generate cash flow; (v) the economic and operational stability of our significant customers and suppliers, including their respective supply chains, and the ability to source alternative suppliers as necessary; (vi) our ability to continue to grow our business organically and through acquisitions; (vii) the production, sales, collections, customer deposits and revenues generated by new customer orders and our ability to realize the resulting cash flows; (viii) information technology failures, network disruptions, cybersecurity attacks or breaches in data security; (ix) the sufficiency of our liquidity and alternate sources of funding, if necessary; (x) our ability to realize revenue from customer orders and backlog (including our ability to finalize the terms of the remaining obligations under a supply agreement with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer); (xi) the economy and the potential impact it may have on our business, including our customers; (xii) the state of the wind energy market and other energy and industrial markets generally, including the availability of tax credits, and the impact of competition and economic volatility in those markets; (xiii) the effects of market disruptions and regular market volatility, including fluctuations in the price of oil, gas and other commodities; (xiv) competition from new or existing industry participants including, in particular, increased competition from foreign tower manufacturers; (xv) the effects of the change of administrations in the U.S. federal government; (xvi) our ability to successfully integrate and operate acquired companies and to identify, negotiate and execute future acquisitions; (xvii) the potential loss of tax benefits if we experience an "ownership change" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (xviii) the limited trading market for our securities and the volatility of market price for our securities; (xix) our outstanding indebtedness and its impact on our business activities (including our ability to incur additional debt in the future); and (xx) the impact of future sales of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock on our stock price. These statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements including, but not limited to, those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We are under no duty to update any of these statements. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all of the risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause our current beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions to change. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results.
