Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Broadwind, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $34.1 million, down 7.5% from the prior year, and a GAAP net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share. Consolidated non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $2.2 million, slightly below the $2.4 million recorded a year earlier.

The Heavy Fabrications segment saw revenue fall 35% to $16.4 million and adjusted EBITDA decline to $1.7 million, reflecting the sale of the Manitowoc operations, lower PRS demand, and a raw material supply issue. In contrast, Gearing revenue rose 42% to $8.5 million and Industrial Solutions revenue grew 64% to $9.2 million, both benefiting from strong power generation and natural gas turbine demand. Industrial Solutions delivered segment adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million, or 19.1% of sales.

Total orders increased 23% year-over-year to $37.4 million, with Gearing and Industrial Solutions orders up 66% and 44%, respectively. Broadwind is exiting wind tower production, including the sale of its Abilene, Texas facility, which generated approximately $17.2 million of net cash proceeds, and is repositioning around higher-growth power generation and critical infrastructure markets. Net debt to trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA was 1.7x as of March 31, 2026.

Insights

Broadwind is shrinking wind exposure while leaning into higher-margin power generation and turbine work.

Broadwind’s quarter shows a mixed picture: consolidated revenue declined 7.5% to $34.1 million, and GAAP net loss widened modestly to $0.5 million. Yet adjusted EBITDA remained resilient at $2.2 million, supported by strong performance in Gearing and Industrial Solutions.

The strategic shift is notable. Management is exiting wind tower production, including selling the Abilene facility for roughly $17.2 million and previously divesting Manitowoc industrial fabrication. This reduces Heavy Fabrications’ weight and increases focus on power generation and critical infrastructure, where segment orders and backlog are growing rapidly.

Operationally, Industrial Solutions revenue rose 64% and Gearing 42% year-over-year in Q1 2026, with segment adjusted EBITDA of 19.1% and positive in Gearing. Orders climbed 23% overall, while net leverage stood at 1.7x as of March 31, 2026. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on how capital from divestitures is deployed into bolt-on acquisitions and organic growth.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $2.2 million in the first quarter"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
net operating loss carryforwards financial
"Domestic acquisition strategy will seek to capitalize on nearly $300 million of net operating loss carryforwards"
Net operating loss carryforwards are tax rules that let a company apply past operating losses against future taxable profits, reducing the amount of tax it must pay when it returns to profitability. Think of it like a negative balance in a tax ledger that can be used to lower future tax bills, improving after-tax cash flow and earnings; investors track the size, expiration rules and any limits because they affect valuation and future cash available to the business.
backlog financial
"Within the Gearing segment, 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.
directed buy program technical
"due to the raw material supply issue from a directed buy program with an OEM customer"
Regulation FD regulatory
"This Report shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Report that is being disclosed pursuant to Regulation FD."
Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.
trailing twelve-month financial
"Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 1.7x as of March 31, 2026"
Trailing twelve-month (TTM) is a measurement that adds up a company’s financial results from the most recent 12 months to show its current performance, rather than using a fixed fiscal year. Think of it like looking at a moving one‑year snapshot to smooth out seasonal swings and short‑term bumps; investors use TTM figures for revenue, earnings, and ratios to get a more up‑to‑date view when comparing companies or valuing a stock.

CICERO, Illinois, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind (Nasdaq: BWEN, or the “Company”), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today announced results for the first quarter 2026.

  • Total revenue of $34.1 million
  • GAAP net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share

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.
