Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in Item 1, "Financial Statements," of this Quarterly Report 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, 2025. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances including, but not limited to, those identified in "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of Item 2. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refer to Broadwind, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, and its subsidiaries, as appropriate.

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. Except as otherwise indicated, the totals below are net of discontinued operations.

$ | 642 | $ | 9,370 | $ | (3,339 | ) | $ | 5,646 | |||||||
|
(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, other non-cash gains and losses, transaction costs, and the gain from the sale of the Manitowoc industrial fabrication operations) 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) |
Orders and backlog at September 30, 2026 and 2025 include results from our discontinued operations. Orders from discontinued operations total $720 and $7,502 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively as well as $13,710 and $23,450 the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Backlog includes $0 and $35,612 from discontinued operations at September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. |
|
(5) |
We define the book-to-bill as the ratio of new orders we received, net of cancellations, to revenue during a period. Orders from discontinued operations were excluded from this ratio. |
|
(6) |
Transaction costs consist of professional services expenses including legal and professional fees attributable to completed or contemplated transactions. |
OUR BUSINESS
On April 30, 2026, Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold the real property and certain assets contained therein which comprise our production facility located in Abilene, Texas (the "Facility"), including equipment, machinery, other personal property, specified service contracts, and permits for an aggregate purchase price of $19,500 in cash, adjusted for certain customary closing items. The sale of the Facility represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the second quarter of 2026. As such, the results of operations of the wind and industrial fabrication operations including operations historically in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, have been reclassified to discontinued operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and retrospectively for all periods presented beginning in the second quarter of 2026. Our discontinued operations exclude the results of pressure reducing system ("PRS") operations.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025 (the "OBBBA"), accelerated the phase-out of certain clean energy tax credits and imposed additional restrictions on tax-credit-supported wind and renewable energy projects, which impacted the market for and profitability of the wind products we produced in our former Heavy Fabrications segment. In connection with the sale of our Abilene facility, we are exiting the wind business and do not expect the impact of the OBBBA to be material to our continuing operations.
On October 30, 2026, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the shareholders ("Shareholders") of MCM Acquisition Company Inc., an Iowa Corporation ("MCM"), Summit Equity Group, L.L.C., as shareholder representative, and MCM, pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MCM (the "MCM Acquisition.") MCM is a manufacturer of precision-machined and fabricated metal components serving customers in the electric utility, infrastructure, agricultural and industrial OEM sectors, with operations located in Northport, Alabama. Under the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price consists of (i) a base purchase price of $18,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital, cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses, plus (ii) contingent consideration of up to an additional $7,000 based on the achievement of performance targets during specified post-closing periods. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this nature.
Third Quarter Overview
Excluding discontinued operations, we received $33,731 in new orders in the third quarter, up from $29,875 in the third quarter of 2025. Industrial Solutions orders increased by 42% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in demand associated with new gas turbine projects. Additionally, orders from PRS customers improved significantly during the third quarter as orders were muted during the prior year quarter. Partially offsetting these increases was a 38% decrease in Gearing segment orders primarily due to the absence of a significant power generation order from a leading Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") of natural gas turbines received in the prior year period.
We recognized revenue of $22,253 in the third quarter, which was a 48% increase compared to the third quarter of 2025. Industrial Solutions segment revenue increased by 32% from the prior year period primarily due to increased shipments to new and aftermarket gas turbine customers. Gearing segment revenue increased 36% relative to the prior year period due to increased shipments across all markets served. PRS revenue also increased during the third quarter due to higher recent order intake levels.
We recorded a net loss of $2,390 or ($0.10) per share in the third quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $7,463 or $0.32 per share in the third quarter of 2025. In addition to the factors described above, the decrease was primarily due to the absence of the $8,155 gain on sale recognized in the prior year quarter.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On August 4, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, 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 senior secured term loan with an original balance of $7,578 (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, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16,159 an increase of $15,702 from December 31, 2025. Debt and finance lease obligations at September 30, 2026 totaled $5,864. As of September 30, 2026, we had $3,010 outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility and had the ability to borrow up to an additional $23,539, or $14,789 after considering the requirement to maintain minimum excess availability under the Credit Agreement equal to or greater than 25% of the revolving loan limit thereunder.
On October 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of MCM Acquisition Company Inc. At closing, we paid approximately $21,500 in cash, including approximately $3,500 deposited into escrow accounts, using cash on hand, an additional term loan advance of $1,796 and borrowings under our 2022 Credit Agreement. In connection with the acquisition, we amended our 2022 Credit Agreement to extend its maturity to January 1, 2028, temporarily replace the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant with a minimum Excess Availability covenant through March 31, 2027, revise certain covenant terms and increase the applicable margin on the term loan. These transactions reduced our cash resources and increased our outstanding indebtedness after September 30, 2026. Our future liquidity will depend in part on MCM's operating cash flows, our availability under the 2022 Credit Agreement, compliance with applicable covenants and our ability to access additional capital when needed.
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 $98 and $130 as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, with $43 and $42 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $1 to $3 and an interest rate of approximately 6%. 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"). This shelf registration statement, which included a base prospectus, allowed 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. Our Form S-3 expired on October 12, 2026. We intend to evaluate opportunities to maintain flexibility to access the public capital markets from time to time, as market conditions and other circumstances warrant.
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, 2025 or nine months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, shares of our common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement. We may not issue any additional shares under the Sales Agreement until a new Form S-3 registration statement is filed and declared effective. Any additional shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement would be issued pursuant to the new 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, and access to the public or private debt and/or equity markets 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, 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 the Company and could be on less favorable terms than the 2022 Credit Facility. 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 for the next twelve months, 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.

Operating Cash Flows
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,227 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7,678 during the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the current year period was primarily attributable to the absence of the gain on sale of assets recognized in the prior year period and a more significant increase in accounts payable in the current year period. This was partially offset by a more significant increase in accounts receivable in the current year period.
Investing Cash Flows
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities totaled $3,655, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $11,905 during the prior year period. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the absence of the net proceeds received from the sale of the Manitowoc industrial fabrication operations received in the prior year period in addition to a net increase in purchases of property and equipment in the current year period.
Financing Cash Flows
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities totaled $6,954, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $306 during the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to debt repayments under the 2022 Credit Facility in the current year period versus net borrowings in the prior year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results.
