Recent Company History

Recent earnings for Broadwind show fluctuating results as the company reshapes its portfolio. Q3 2024 and Q3 2025 delivered solid revenue and adjusted EBITDA with order and backlog strength, while Q2 and Q1 2025 were more mixed, including a swing to net loss and softer segment trends. Balance sheet metrics such as net debt to adjusted EBITDA between 0.6x and 3.0x have remained central. Today’s Q1 2026 report, with lower revenue but strong orders in Gearing and Industrial Solutions, fits into this transition toward power generation and critical infrastructure.

Analysis

The stock surged +117.2% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Broadwind’s history of occasionally rewarding earnings that reinforce its pivot toward power generation and critical infrastructure. Investors have previously reacted strongly to quarters with improving backlog and adjusted EBITDA, as seen in Q3 2025. However, prior selloffs after guidance changes and strategic shifts—such as the May 2026 wind exit—highlight that enthusiasm can fade if future quarters fail to sustain growth and margin improvements.

Key Terms

non-gaap adjusted ebitda, net debt, backlog, credit facility
4 terms
non-gaap adjusted ebitda financial
"Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million, or 6.5% of total revenue*"
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a measure of a company's profitability that shows earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, with certain adjustments made to exclude irregular or non-recurring expenses and income. It provides a clearer picture of ongoing operational performance by filtering out items that might distort the core business results. Investors use it to better compare how well different companies are performing without the noise of one-time events.
net debt financial
"Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 1.7x"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
backlog financial
"orders increased 66% in the first quarter, supporting a backlog of $30.5 million"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
credit facility financial
"cash on hand and availability under its credit facility of $25.1 million"
A credit facility is a flexible loan arrangement that allows a borrower to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, similar to a company having an overdraft option on a bank account. It matters to investors because it indicates how easily a business can secure cash when required, affecting its ability to manage expenses, invest, or respond to financial challenges.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“During the first quarter, we continued to advance our business transformation strategy, while delivering strong revenue growth, margin realization, and order growth in our core gearing and industrial solutions segments,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “First quarter revenue in the gearing and industrial solutions segments increased more than 40% and 60%, respectively, when compared to the year-ago period, driven by strong demand from within our core power generation and critical infrastructure markets.”

“With the recently announced sale of our Abilene facility and related strategic exit from Wind tower production in the third quarter of 2026, Gearing and Industrial Solutions will represent our core businesses, moving forward,” continued Blashford. “Excluding the divested product lines within the Heavy Fabrications segment, Broadwind generated approximately $64 million of revenue on a trailing twelve-month basis through the end of the first quarter.”

“While our exit from the Wind market will result in a smaller company over the near term, our remaining businesses are higher-growth, more predictable, and more profitable, with a meaningfully improved quality of earnings profile, going forward,” noted Blashford. “We intend to use our core gearing and industrial solutions segments as a platform upon which to grow a business of increasing scale and profitability, over time.”

“Within the Gearing segment, orders increased 66% in the first quarter, supporting a backlog of $30.5 million,” continued Blashford. “Demand growth within the Gearing segment has been largely driven by strong customer activity within the power generation, industrial, and mining markets. Our Industrial Solutions segment had another strong quarter, as orders increased 44% year-over-year, with backlog at a record $43.3 million,” stated Blashford. “Natural gas turbine demand remains very strong, representing the key growth driver for this segment.”

“From the sale of our Abilene facility in April 2026, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $17.2 million” stated Blashford. “Given the recent strategic actions to optimize our asset base and shed underutilized facilities, we are positioned to pursue higher growth, higher value bolt-on opportunities that have the potential to accelerate our growth within our targeted vertical markets, with an emphasis on accretive, highly complementary precision manufacturing assets.”

CONSOLIDATED FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Broadwind reported a net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.02) per basic share in the first quarter 2026, compared to a net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.02) per basic share, in the first quarter 2025. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $2.2 million in the first quarter compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please see the appendix of this release.

Revenue decreased 7.5% on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter due to lower activity within the Heavy Fabrication segment, partially offset by higher sales volume in the Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments. Heavy Fabrications revenue decreased 35%, when compared to the prior year period, due to the sale of the Manitowoc, Wisconsin industrial fabrication operations, lower PRS demand, and a raw material supply issue under a directed-buy program of an OEM customer. Industrial Solutions revenue grew 64% year-over-year, due primarily to strong demand for natural gas turbine content. Revenue from the Gearing segment grew 42% due primarily to increased demand from power generation and mining customers, partially offset by lower demand from steel customers.

Total orders increased 23% in the first quarter, when compared to the prior year period, benefiting largely from rapid growth in the power generation end market.

At the end of the first quarter, Broadwind had total cash on hand and availability under its credit facility of $25.1 million, or $16.4 million after adjusting for the minimum excess availability requirement. The Company’s ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA was 1.7x as of March 31, 2026. After adjusting our credit availability and reflecting required debt payments, we expect the sale of the Abilene facility will improve our liquidity by approximately $10 million.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Heavy Fabrications Segment
Broadwind provides large, complex and precision fabrications, and proprietary industrial processing equipment, to customers in a broad range of industrial markets. Key products include wind towers and compressed natural gas pressure reducing systems.

Heavy Fabrications segment sales decreased by 35% to $16.4 million in the first quarter 2026, as compared to the prior year period, due to the raw material supply issue from a directed buy program with an OEM customer, lower PRS demand, and the sale of the Manitowoc industrial fabrication operations. The segment reported operating income of $0.8 million in the first quarter, as compared to operating income of $2.2 million in the prior year period. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million in the first quarter, compared to $3.4 million in the prior-year period.

Gearing Segment
Broadwind provides custom gearboxes, loose gearing, precision machined components and heat treat services to a broad set of customers in diverse markets, including power generation, oil & gas production, surface and underground mining, wind energy, steel, material handling and other infrastructure markets.

Gearing segment sales increased by 42% to $8.5 million in the first quarter 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher demand from power generation and mining customers, partially offset by decreased demand from steel customers. The segment reported an operating loss of ($0.1) million in the first quarter, compared to an operating loss of ($0.9) million in the prior year period. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million in the first quarter, as compared to ($0.2) million in the prior-year period.

Industrial Solutions Segment
Broadwind provides supply chain solutions, light fabrication, inventory management, kitting and assembly services, primarily serving the combined cycle natural gas turbine market as well as other clean technology markets.

Industrial Solutions segment sales increased by 64% to $9.2 million in the first quarter 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased sales of natural gas turbine content. The segment reported operating income of $1.6 million in the first quarter compared to operating income of $0.3 million in the prior year period. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 million in the first quarter compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company provides non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other stock payments, restructuring costs, impairment charges, other non-cash gains and losses, and the gain from the sale of the Manitowoc industrial fabrication operations) as supplemental information regarding the Company’s business performance. The Company’s management uses this supplemental information when it internally evaluates its performance, reviews financial trends and makes operating and strategic decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and future results, which allows investors to evaluate the Company’s performance using the same methodology and information as used by the Company’s management. The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.
