Insights

Pro formas show smaller, wind‑free Broadwind with mixed earnings.

Broadwind presents unaudited pro forma statements to reflect its exit from the wind market and sale of the Abilene facility for up to $19.5M plus a $0.5M equipment option. This follows the earlier Manitowoc facility sale.

On a pro forma basis, 2025 revenue falls to $60.8M with a net loss from continuing operations of $9.9M, while 2024 shows $66.7M revenue and $1.5M net income. The 2025 loss highlights earnings pressure once wind operations are removed.

The pro forma balance sheet shows total assets of $92.1M and stockholders’ equity of $55.7M as of December 31, 2025. Future filings will clarify how the reshaped portfolio performs relative to these wind‑free baselines.

Strategic transactions are planned deals a company makes to change its size, focus or capabilities—such as buying or selling businesses, forming partnerships, licensing assets, or merging with another firm. Investors care because these moves can reshape future revenue, costs and risks; like rearranging a toolbox to work more efficiently, a successful transaction can speed growth or cut expenses, while a poor one can drain cash and distract management.

(the “Company”) on May 6, 2026 (the “Original Form 8-K”), Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Freeman Enclosure Systems, LLC, (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IES Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which the Seller sold the real property and certain assets contained therein which comprise the Seller’s production facility located in Abilene, Texas (the “Facility”, and the sale transaction, the “Transaction”).  As described in the original filing, the Transaction was the result of the Company’s decision in 2026 to make a strategic shift away from wind markets. The Company sold its Manitowoc, Wisconsin production facility on September 8, 2025, as further described in Item 2.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2025 (“Manitowoc Transaction” and, together with the Transaction, the “Strategic Transactions”). The Manitowoc Transaction resulted in the consolidation of the Company’s wind business in the Facility. In 2026, the Company further evaluated its strategy and determined that it would sell the Facility, resulting in the Company’s exit from the wind market.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On April 30, 2026, (the “Closing Date”) Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Freeman Enclosure Systems, LLC, (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IES Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which the Seller sold the real property and certain assets contained therein which comprise the Seller’s production facility located in Abilene, Texas (the “Facility”), including equipment, machinery, other personal property, specified service contracts, and permits (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), to the Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of up to $19,500,000.00 in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, (the “Transaction”). On the Closing Date, the Seller also entered into a short-term lease agreement with the Buyer, pursuant to which the Seller will lease the Facility and the Purchased Assets back from the Buyer for a nominal below-market rent for a term that is expected to end on or prior to September 5, 2026 (the “Lease”). Under the Lease, Heavy Fabrications also granted the Buyer an option to purchase certain other manufacturing equipment for an additional purchase price of $500,000.00 by the end of the Lease term.

 

The Transaction was the result of the Company’s decision in 2026 to make a strategic shift away from the wind market. The Company sold its Manitowoc, Wisconsin production facility on September 8, 2025, as further described in Item 2.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2025 (“Manitowoc Transaction” and, together with the Transaction, the “Strategic Transactions”). The Manitowoc Transaction resulted in the consolidation of the Company’s wind business in the Facility. In 2026, the Company further evaluated its strategy and determined that it would sell the Facility, resulting in the Company’s exit from the wind market

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information (the “unaudited pro forma statements”) is based on the historical financials of Broadwind Inc., after giving effect to the strategic shift. These unaudited pro forma statements give effect to the strategic shift based on the adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the strategic shift was completed on December 31, 2025, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) is presented as if the Transaction was completed on January 1, 2024.

 

The unaudited pro forma statements have been prepared based upon available information and management estimates; actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. The unaudited pro forma statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations that might have occurred had the Transaction occurred as of the dates stated above, and further should not be taken as representative of the future financial condition or results of operations. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 1 Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the strategic shift out of the Wind Market. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from historical financial statements of Broadwind Inc. and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 which is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been prepared assuming the strategic shift occurred on December 31, 2025. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for year ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 reflect the Company’s results as if the strategic shift occurred on January 1, 2024.

 

Note 2 Pro Forma Adjustments

 

 

(a)

Represents adjustments to reflect the strategic shift out of the Wind Business.

 

(b)

In connection with the Abilene Disposition, the Company entered into a short-term lease arrangement with the buyer for continued occupancy of the Abilene facility through September 5, 2026 at nominal rent of one dollar for the lease term. The fair value of the leaseback was estimated at $500,000.00 and was deemed additional non-cash consideration by the Company. The adjustment column reflects the recognition of prepaid rent for $500,000.00 within prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 

(c)

In connection with the Abilene Disposition, the buyer was granted an option to purchase certain equipment located at the Abilene facility for a fixed exercise price of $500,000.00. Management has concluded that exercise of the option is probable. The net book value of the equipment is included within property and equipment, net and reflected in the pro forma adjustment in the accompanying pro forma balance sheet; accordingly, no separate pro forma balance sheet adjustment has been recorded with respect to the option. In addition $1,000,000.00 of cash consideration is deferred consideration which is included in an escrow account. As collection is deemed probable it is included within Accounts receivable, net.

 

(d)

(e)

Represents the equity adjustment to reflect the removal of the working capital accounts and other long-term assets and liabilities related to the Wind business which were not disposed of through the disposition of the Abilene or Manitowoc facilities.

 

(f)

Represents the removal of interest expense related to a supply chain financing arrangement for the Wind Business. The related receivables are also part of the pro forma adjustments.

 

 

 

FAQ

What strategic change does Broadwind (BWEN) highlight in this amendment?

Broadwind highlights a strategic exit from the wind market. The company sold its Manitowoc, Wisconsin facility and its Abilene, Texas facility, consolidating and then divesting wind operations. The amendment adds pro forma financials showing how Broadwind looks after these wind-focused asset disposals.

What are the key terms of Broadwind’s Abilene, Texas facility sale?

Broadwind sold the Abilene facility for up to $19.5 million in cash. The Buyer also received an option to purchase additional manufacturing equipment for $500,000 by the end of a short-term lease. The Seller leases back the facility at nominal below‑market rent through about September 5, 2026.

How do the pro forma 2025 results look for Broadwind (BWEN)?

Pro forma 2025 revenue is $60.8 million with a net loss. After removing wind operations, Broadwind’s 2025 pro forma revenues are $60.754 million and net loss from continuing operations is $9.953 million, compared with positive historical earnings before the strategic shift.

What do the pro forma 2024 results show for Broadwind after the wind exit?

Pro forma 2024 revenue is $66.7 million with $1.48 million net income. The statements show revenues of $66.721 million and net income from continuing operations of $1.480 million, giving investors a wind‑free earnings baseline for that year.

How did Broadwind’s balance sheet change on a pro forma basis?

Pro forma total assets are $92.1 million and equity $55.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, the pro forma balance sheet shows total assets of $92.136 million and stockholders’ equity of $55.703 million after the strategic exit from wind operations.

Are Broadwind’s pro forma financial statements forecasts of future performance?

No, the pro forma statements are for informational purposes only. They illustrate how Broadwind’s financials would have appeared if the wind exit occurred on specified dates. The company notes they are not necessarily indicative of future results or financial condition.
