FAQ

What credit agreement change did Broadwind (BWEN) report in its latest 8-K?

Broadwind amended its Wells Fargo credit agreement through a Fourth Amendment. The change adjusts Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio measurement periods, lowers certain required coverage levels to 0.75 to 1.0, and excludes designated capital expenditures from Unfinanced Capital Expenditures used in covenant calculations.

How did Broadwind (BWEN) modify its Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirements?

Broadwind revised covenant terms so the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2025 is set in a 0.75 to 1.0 range. For periods from January 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026, the required ratio was reduced from 1.1 to 1.0 down to 0.75 to 1.0.

What impact do excluded capital expenditures have on Broadwind’s (BWEN) loan covenants?

The amendment excludes certain designated capital expenditures from the definition of Unfinanced Capital Expenditures.
