BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2016


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim financial statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("B&W," "we," "us," "our" or "the Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“Annual Report”). Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed in our Annual Report.

On June 8, 2015, The Babcock & Wilcox Company's ("BWC" or "former Parent") board of directors approved the spin-off of B&W through the distribution of shares of B&W common stock to holders of BWC common stock (the "spin-off"). On June 30, 2015, B&W became a separate publicly-traded company, and BWC did not retain any ownership interest in B&W. On and prior to June 30, 2015, our financial position, operating results and cash flows consisted of The Power Generation Operations of BWC ("BW PGG"), which represented a combined reporting entity comprised of the assets and liabilities in managing and operating the Power Generation segment of BWC, combined with related captive insurance operations that were contributed in connection with the spin-off by BWC to B&W. In addition, BW PGG also included certain assets and liabilities of BWC's Nuclear Energy ("NE") segment that were transferred to BWC in connection with the spin-off. We have treated the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the NE business as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. Refer to Note 19 for more information about our discontinued operations.

Through June 30, 2015, certain corporate and general and administrative expenses, including those related to executive management, tax, accounting, legal, information technology, treasury services, and certain employee benefits, have been allocated by BWC to us to reflect all costs of doing business related to these operations in the financial statements, including expenses incurred by related entities on our behalf. Management believes such allocations are reasonable. However, the associated expenses reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been operating as an independent public company for the periods presented. Following the spin-off from BWC, we have been performing these functions using internal resources or purchased services, certain of which have been provided by BWC pursuant to a transition services agreement.
Refer to Note 18 for a detailed description of transactions with other affiliates of BWC through June 30, 2015.

We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We present the notes to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

NOTE 2 – CONTRACTS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a $31.7 million charge related to a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a Global Power renewable energy contract in Europe that adversely affected revenue by $26.4 million during the quarter, including the reversal of $6.8 million of revenue that had been recognized through the first quarter of 2016. Management has concluded the second quarter change in estimate is a result of a deficiency in the piping design detected in late May 2016. This contract became a loss contract during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The project is approximately 73% complete as of June 30, 2016, and B&W's performance on this contract is expected to be completed by early 2017. The $6.4 million reserve for the estimated loss on this uncompleted contract is included in other accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet at June 30, 2016. Our estimates of revenues and costs at completion have been, and may continue to be, impacted by our performance and the performance of our subcontractors. Our estimated loss at completion as of June 30, 2016 represents our best estimate based on current information. As with all estimates to complete used to measure contract revenue, actual results could differ from our estimates.

We include claims for extra work or changes in scope of work in contract revenues to the extent of costs incurred and when we believe collection is probable. We recorded $1.2 million of claims revenue during the second quarter of 2016. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had accrued claims receivable of $3.5 million and $2.3 million , respectively.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

On June 30, 2015, 53,719,878 shares of our common stock were distributed to BWC shareholders to complete our spin-off transaction. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were based on the weighted average number of BWC common shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 , adjusted for a distribution ratio of one share of B&W common stock for every two shares of BWC common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of our common stock:

(1) We excluded  747 thousand and  670 thousand  shares from the weighted average shares outstanding to calculate diluted EPS for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as the Company had a net loss during both periods.
(2) We excluded 1.2 million stock options from the diluted share calculation at June 30, 2015, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4 – SHARE REPURCHASES

On August 4, 2015, we announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an indeterminate number of our shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate market value of up to $100 million . We repurchased 1.3 million shares of our common stock for $24.3 million during 2015, and 0.7 million and 2.5 million shares of our common stock for $15.1 million and $49.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. We repurchased an additional 0.5 million shares of our common stock for $7.1 million during the period from July 1, 2016 through August 9, 2016. We are authorized to repurchase up to $18.8 million more of our common stock through June 8, 2017.

Any shares purchased that were not part of our publicly announced plan are related to repurchases of common stock pursuant to the provisions of employee benefit plans that permit the repurchase of shares to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations.

NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING

Through June 30, 2016, our operations are assessed based on three reportable segments:

8

Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2016, we will reorganize our segments. We will consolidate our Global Services segment with the Global Power segment, exclusive of the Global Power segment's renewable business, into a single Power segment. All renewable energy related activities, including our subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S, will be consolidated into a Renewable segment. This new structure will allow for a Power segment focus on efficiency and support for our traditional customer base, while the Renewable segment focuses solely on renewable project execution and worldwide growth. Our third segment, Industrial, will include the B&W MEGTEC and B&W SPIG businesses, each of which are focused on selling engineered solutions to industrial markets (the acquisition of SPIG occurred on July 1, 2016, see Note 20 ). Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2016, our historical financial results will be restated to conform with our new reportable segments.

As of June 30, 2016 , we assessed our intangible assets for impairment, including goodwill, and concluded we did not have any intangible asset impairment based on our qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts. We will perform our annual goodwill impairment test after the segment reorganization.

NOTE 6 – RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES AND SPIN-OFF TRANSACTION COSTS

2016 Restructuring activities

On June 28, 2016, we announced actions to restructure the Company's power business in advance of significantly lower demand now projected for U.S. power generation from coal. The new organizational structure includes a redesigned work flow to provide an effective, flexible organization that can adapt to the changing market conditions and volumes. The $29.4 million charge we recorded for these second quarter restructuring activities is primarily related to employee severance of $13.5 million and non-cash impairment of the long-lived assets at B&W’s one coal power plant of $14.6 million . Other costs associated with the restructuring of $1.3 million are related to organizational realignment of personnel and processes. The 2016 restructuring activities are expected to allow our business to continue to serve the power market and maintain gross margins, despite the expected decline in volume as a result of the now lower projected demand in the US coal-fired power generation market. The segments affected by these restructuring actions are primarily Global Services and the portions of Global Power that will become the new Power segment as described in Note 5 . We also recognized changes in valuation allowances associated with our deferred tax assets as a result of the impact of these restructuring activities (see Note 7 ). We expect additional restructuring charges of up to $18 million primarily related to additional manufacturing facility consolidation initiatives that could extend through 2017.

Pre-2016 Restructuring activities

Previously announced restructuring initiatives intended to better position us for growth and profitability have primarily been related to facility consolidation and organizational efficiency initiatives. Theses costs were $1.1 million and $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.2 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect additional restructuring charges of up to $9 million primarily related to facility demolition and consolidation activities, which will largely be completed during the second half of 2016. The full benefits of the pre-2016 restructuring activities may not be fully achieved based on the lower demand now projected in the coal-fired power generation market.

For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the balance at the beginning of the period is as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(2)  
Excludes charges for long-lived asset impairment of $14.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Accelerated depreciation and long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.2 million and $6.5 million were excluded from the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. These non-cash charges did not impact the restructuring liability.

At June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the remaining unpaid restructuring liabilities relate to employee termination benefits.

Spin-off transaction costs

In the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred $1.1 million and $3.0 million , respectively, of costs directly related to the spin-off from our former Parent. The costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards.


10

In the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred $0.9 million of costs directly related to the spin-off from our former Parent.

NOTE 7 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was approximately 12.5% as compared to 18.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to our equity investment in a foreign joint venture and state net operating losses, which were recorded in connection with our restructuring activities announced June 28, 2016, and to the jurisdictional mix of our income and losses. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of income and losses.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately 4.4% as compared to 29.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate due to the same reasons noted above for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of income as well as the favorable impact of an increase in benefits for amended federal manufacturing deductions and certain amended state return filings, offset by an increase to a valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We have designated all of our foreign currency exchange ("FX") forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to changes in FX spot rates of forecasted transactions related to long-term contracts. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the FX forward contracts attributable to the difference between FX spot rates and FX forward rates. At June 30, 2016 and 2015 , we had deferred approximately $3.5 million and $(0.3) million , respectively, of net gains (losses) on these derivative financial instruments in AOCI. We expect to recognize substantially all of this amount in the next twelve months.

At June 30, 2016 , our derivative financial instruments consisted solely of FX forward contracts. The notional value of our FX forward contracts totaled $109.5 million and $74.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, with maturities extending to August 2017. These instruments consist primarily of contracts to purchase or sell euros and British pounds sterling. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. We attempt to mitigate this risk by using major financial institutions with high credit ratings. The counterparties to all of our FX forward contracts are financial institutions party to our credit facility. Our hedge counterparties have the benefit of the same collateral arrangements and covenants as described under our credit facility.

Available-for-sale securities

We estimate the fair value of available-for-sale securities based on quoted market prices. Our investments in available-for-sale securities are presented in other assets on our condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets.

Derivatives

Derivative assets and liabilities currently consist of FX forward contracts. Where applicable, the value of these derivative assets and liabilities is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including FX forward and spot rates, interest rates and counterparty performance risk adjustments.

Other financial instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments:
•
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents . The carrying amounts that we have reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their highly liquid nature.
•
Short-term line of credit . We base the fair values of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values on the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. The fair value of our debt instruments approximated their carrying value at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

We accrue in cost of operations on our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations estimated expenses to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenues on the related contracts. In addition, we record specific provisions or reductions where we expect the actual warranty costs to differ from the accrued estimates. Such adjustments could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2016, the closure of our West Point, MS manufacturing facility resulted in a $1.8 million curtailment charge in our United States pension plan and lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan in April 2016 resulted in a $1.1 million plan settlement. Each of these events also resulted in interim mark to market accounting for the pension plans. Mark to market adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $24.1 million and $2.9 million for our United States and Canadian pension plans, respectively, based on a weighted-average discount rate of 3.89% and higher than expected returns on pension plan assets. The effects of these charges and mark to market adjustments are reflected in the $29.9 million "Recognized net actuarial loss" in the table above.

As discussed in Note 5 , we have excluded the recognized net actuarial loss from our reportable segments and such amount has been reflected in Note 5 as the mark to market adjustment in the reconciliation of reportable segment income (loss) to consolidated operating income (loss). The recognized net actuarial loss and the affected condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations line items are as follows:

NOTE 15 – CREDIT FACILITY

In connection with the spin-off, we entered into a credit agreement on May 11, 2015 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $600 million , which is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2020. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement are available for working capital needs, issuance of letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2016 , we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and after giving effect to the leverage ratio and $94.3 million of letters of credit issued under the credit facility, we had approximately $217.1 million available for borrowings based on trailing-twelve-months EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to us occurs under the Credit Agreement, all obligations will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding. If any event of default occurs, the lenders are permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral. Additionally, if we are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement, we will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued. At June 30, 2016 , we were in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 16 – CONTINGENCIES

On February 28, 2014, the Arkansas River Power Authority ("ARPA") filed suit against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (now known as The Babcock & Wilcox Company and referred to herein as “BW PGG”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Case No. 14-cv-00638-CMA-NYW) alleging breach of contract, negligence, fraud and other claims arising out of BW PGG's delivery of a circulating fluidized bed boiler and related equipment used in the Lamar Repowering Project pursuant to a 2005 contract. We believe that ARPA has asserted damages theories that are highly speculative and without legal or economic support as a litigation tactic. We also believe most of the alleged damages are expressly waived and/or capped in enforceable provisions of the 2005 contract. We cannot estimate the possible loss at this time; however, the 2005 contract provides an overall cap of liability at the original contract price of approximately $20.5 million . Discovery is substantially complete and there have been no substantive changes to our assessment of the outcome of this contingency during the second quarter of 2016. A trial date has been set for November 2016.

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired SPIG S.p.A. ("SPIG"), an Arona, Italy-based global provider of custom-engineered cooling systems and services, for €155 million (or approximately $174 million ) in an all-cash transaction, subject to

18

customary adjustments related to differences in actual working capital and other net assets compared to pre-close estimates. We expect these adjustments will be made before the end of the third quarter of 2016. Purchase price adjustments associated with the SPIG acquisition are expected to be finalized in the second half of 2016.

SPIG provides comprehensive dry and wet cooling solutions and aftermarket services to the power generation industry including natural gas-fired and renewable energy power plants, as well as downstream oil and gas, petrochemical and other industrial end markets. The acquisition of SPIG is consistent with B&W's goal to grow and diversify its technology-based offerings with new products and services that are complementary to our core businesses in the industrial markets.

NOTE 21 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New accounting standards that could affect the Company's financial statements in the future are summarized as follows:

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-1, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The new accounting standard requires investments such as available-for-sale securities to be measured at fair value through earnings each reporting period as opposed to changes in fair value being reported in other comprehensive income. We do not expect the new accounting standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results when adopted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). With adoption of this standard, lessees will have to recognize almost all leases as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheet. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2019. We do not expect the new accounting standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results when adopted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The FASB amended its new revenue recognition guidance on determining whether an entity is a principal or an agent in an arrangement (i.e., whether it should report revenue gross or net). In addition, the FASB voted to propose eight technical corrections related to the revenue standard, the majority of which involve consequential amendments to other accounting topics affected by the revenue standard. In addition to ASU 2016-08, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. This update finalized the guidance in the new revenue standards regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition for customer contracts. The new accounting standards associated with revenue recognition are effective for the Company beginning in 2018. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The new standard identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2017. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on the Company's financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These forward-looking statements include statements that reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and industry in general. Statements that include the words "expect," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project," "forecast," "estimate," "may," "should," "anticipate" and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ

19

materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors include the cautionary statements included in this report and the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement included in this report for any reason, except as required by law.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

In this report, unless the context otherwise indicates, "B&W," "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" mean Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Revenue in the second quarter of 2016 in each of our segments was lower due to volume and general market conditions in North America. In the Global Power segment, we recorded a $31.7 million loss from a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a renewable energy contract in Europe related to a design deficiency that required re-engineering, on-site rework and delivery delay. The project is approximately 73% complete as of June 30, 2016, and B&W's performance on this contract is expected to be completed by early 2017. In our Global Services segment, we improved gross profit on lower revenue as construction services net project performance and project close-outs more than offset the lower volume in parts and other services caused by a decline in market demand from the coal-fired power generation industry. In our Industrial Environmental segment, gross profit increased because of lower amortization of intangible assets, strong execution and improved margins on aftermarket sales.

On June 28, 2016, we announced actions to restructure our business that serves the power generation market in advance of lower demand now projected for U.S. power generation from coal. This restructuring reduces the size of our organization that supports the coal market by approximately 20% and reorganizes how we support the power market. The new organizational structure includes a redesigned work flow to provide an effective, flexible organization that can adapt to the changing market conditions and volumes. The $29.4 million charge we recorded for these second quarter restructuring activities is primarily related to employee severance of $13.5 million and non-cash impairment of the long-lived assets at B&W’s one coal power plant of $14.6 million. Also related to these restructuring activities, we recorded non-cash income tax expense of $13.1 million related to increasing valuation allowances on deferred tax assets associated with our equity investment in a foreign joint venture and certain state net operating loss carryforwards.

On July 1, 2016, we acquired SPIG S.p.A. ("SPIG"), an Arona, Italy-based global provider of custom-engineered cooling systems and services, for €155 million (or approximately $174 million ) in an all-cash transaction, subject to customary adjustments related to differences in actual working capital and other net assets compared to pre-close estimates. SPIG provides comprehensive dry and wet cooling solutions and aftermarket services to the power generation industry including natural gas-fired and renewable energy power plants, as well as downstream oil and gas, petrochemical and other industrial end markets. The acquisition of SPIG is consistent with B&W's goal to grow and diversify its technology-based offerings with new products and services that are complementary to our core businesses in the industrial markets.
 
Year-over-year comparisons of our results are also significantly affected by:
•
$29.9 million actuarially determined mark to market pension loss in the second quarter of 2016 triggered by the closure of our West Point, MS manufacturing facility in May 2016 that resulted in a curtailment in our United States pension plan and lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan in April 2016 that resulted in a plan settlement. The impact of these charges plus the mark to market adjustments on our U.S. pension plan and Canadian pension plan were $25.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
•
$1.1 million and $3.2 million of restructuring costs related to pre-2016 initiatives in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $5.3 million and $7.7 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. These previously announced restructuring initiatives were intended to better position us for growth and profitability through facility consolidation and organizational efficiency initiatives.
•
$1.9 million of acquisition costs included in selling, general and administrative were incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 related to the acquisition of SPIG.
•
$1.1 million and $3.0 million of costs directly related to the spin-off from our former Parent were incurred in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $0.9 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015. The costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards and other spin-related costs.
•
$9.0 million of impairment charges in the second quarter of 2015 primarily related to research and development facilities and equipment dedicated to a carbon capture process that was determined not to be commercially viable.

20

•
$1.3 million and $2.7 million of pre-spin allocations from our former Parent were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, related to the discontinued NE segment because allocations are not eligible for inclusion in the results of discontinued operations.

Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2016, we will reorganize our segments. We will consolidate our Global Services segment with the Global Power segment, exclusive of the Global Power segment's renewable business, into a single Power segment. All renewable energy related activities, including our subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S, will be consolidated into a Renewable segment. This new structure will allow for a Power segment focus on efficiency and support for our traditional customer base, and a Renewable segment focus solely on renewable project execution and worldwide growth. Our third segment, Industrial, will include the B&W MEGTEC and B&W SPIG businesses, each of which are focused on selling engineered solutions to industrial markets (the acquisition of SPIG occurred on July 1, 2016, see Note 20 ). Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2016, our historical financial results will be restated to conform with our new reportable segments.

Through June 30, 2016, our operations are assessed based on three reportable segments:

•
Global Power: Design and supply new build steam generation equipment for fossil fuel and renewable fuel sources and utility-scale environmental systems.
•
Global Services: Comprehensive mix of services for utility and industrial steam generation and related environmental solutions that includes aftermarket parts and technical services, service projects including design and engineering, construction, and utility operations and maintenance.
•
Industrial Environmental: Original equipment and related maintenance and aftermarket parts for industrial air pollution control systems and coating and drying equipment for a wide range of industries.

Our second quarter and year to date segment and other operating results are described in more detail below.

Consolidated and combined results of operations

Three months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased by 12% , or $54.3 million , to $383.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $437.5 million for the corresponding quarter in 2015 due primarily to a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a Global Power renewable energy contract in Europe, which adversely affected revenue by $26.4 million and decreases in volumes in our Global Services and Industrial Environmental segments, as discussed in more detail in the following sections.

Gross profit decreased by 68% , or $55.8 million , to $26.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $81.9 million for the corresponding quarter in 2015 . The primary drivers of the decrease are the $31.7 million charge related to a change in estimate on a Global Power contract and a $29.5 million mark to market adjustment during the second quarter of 2016. These drivers are discussed in more detail in the "Global Power" and the "Mark to Market Adjustments For Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans" sections below.

Equity in income (loss) of investees during the second quarter of 2016 decreased $1.6 million to a loss of $0.6 million compared to income of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in equity income of investees during the second quarter of 2016 is attributable primarily to our Chinese joint venture's performance this quarter.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased by 5.7% , or $47.3 million , to $787.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $834.6 million for the corresponding period in 2015 , due primarily to a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a

22

Global Power renewable energy contract in Europe, which adversely affected revenue by $26.4 million and decreases in volumes in our Global Services and Industrial Environmental segments, as discussed in more detail in the following sections.

Gross profit decreased by 35.7% , or $59.1 million , to $106.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $165.3 million for the corresponding period in 2015 . The primary drivers of the decrease are the $31.7 million charge related to a change in estimate on a Global Power contract and a $29.5 million mark to market adjustment during the second quarter of 2016. These drivers are discussed in more detail in the "Global Power" and "Mark to Market Adjustments For Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans" sections below.

Equity in income of investees during the first six months of 2016 increased $3.2 million to $2.1 million as compared to the $1.1 million loss in the corresponding period in 2015. The increase in equity income of investees is attributable primarily to their project performance and increased new-build steam generation volume.

The performance drivers of each segment as well as other operating costs are discussed in more detail below.

Three months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 19.1% , or $30.1 million , to $127.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $157.4 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded a $31.7 million charge related to a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a renewable energy contract in Europe, that adversely affected revenue by $26.4 million during the quarter, including the reversal of $6.8 million of revenue that had been recognized through the first quarter of 2016. The revenue decrease was also attributable to a $27.9 million decrease in sales of new build environmental and steam generation equipment, offset by a $24.0 million increase in revenue associated with other renewable energy projects.

Gross profit decreased 134.0% , or $35.7 million , to a loss of $9.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to gross profit of $26.7 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . The decrease in gross profit was primarily related to a $31.7 million charge discussed above and a $4.0 million decrease related to lower volumes of new build environmental and steam generation equipment and lower net project performance associated with other new build energy projects.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 8.4% , or $23.5 million , to $257.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $281.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015 . During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a $31.7 million charge related to a change in estimate of the forecasted cost to complete a renewable energy contract in Europe, that adversely affected revenue by $26.4 million . The revenue decrease was also attributable to a $34.4 million decrease in sales of new build environmental and steam generation equipment, offset by a $37.1 million increase in revenue associated with renewable energy projects.

Gross profit decreased 67.5% , or $31.8 million , to $15.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $47.1 million in the corresponding period in 2015 . The decrease in gross profit was primarily related to the $31.7 million charge discussed above.

Three months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 7.9% , or $18.8 million , to $218.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $236.7 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a $16.5 million decrease in parts sales and an $11.0 million decrease in revenue from our Canadian oil sands contract, which was delayed past 2016 due to wildfires in the region. The decreases were offset by a $4.9 million increase in service project revenue and a $3.3 million increase in construction revenues.

Gross profit increased 15.8% , or $7.3 million , to $53.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $46.3 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . The primary drivers of the increase in gross profit were the $15.3 million improvement in net project performance and project close-outs of construction services, which were partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in gross profit from the mix of service projects and lower parts volumes during the quarter.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 2.1% , or $9.8 million , to $459.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $468.9 million in the corresponding period in 2015 . The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a $20.1 million decrease in parts sales and an $11.0 million decrease in revenue from our Canadian oil sands contract, which were delayed past 2016 due to wildfires in the region. The decreases were offset by a $21.6 million increase in construction revenues due to the timing of project close-outs.

Gross profit increased 2.2% , or $2.2 million , to $101.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $99.6 million in the corresponding period in 2015 . The primary drivers of the increase in gross profit were the $14.7 million improvement in net project performance and project close-outs of construction services, which were offset by lower gross profit from the mix of service projects and lower parts volumes during the first six months of 2016.

Three months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 12.4% , or $5.4 million , to $38.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $43.4 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . Revenues decreased primarily due to $4.1 million lower engineered equipment sales volumes. The overall decrease in revenue is attributable to a decline in demand in the industrials market in the Americas during the quarter.
 
Gross profit increased 23.4% , or $2.1 million , to $11.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $8.9 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 . Gross profit benefited from $2.6 million less amortization expense during the second quarter of 2016 as our backlog intangible asset was fully amortized as of June 30, 2015. Excluding the impact of intangible amortization expense during 2015, gross profit decreased during the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to the decline in volume.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 vs. 2015

Revenues decreased 16.6% , or $14.0 million , to $70.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $84.5 million in the corresponding period in 2015 . Revenues decreased primarily due to a $9.9 million decline in environmental solutions product sales volumes and a $5.1 million reduction in engineered equipment sales volumes. The overall decrease in revenue is attributable to a decline in demand in the industrials market in the Americas during the first six months of 2016.

Gross profit of $18.6 million was flat in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to the corresponding period in 2015 . Gross profit benefited from $5.1 million less amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as our backlog intangible asset was fully amortized as of June 30, 2015. In addition to the impact of intangible amortization expense during 2015, the decrease in the gross profit during the first six months of 2016 was attributable to a $3.8 million decline in environmental solutions margins and a $2.1 million decline in engineered products volume.

Backlog

Backlog is not a measure recognized by generally accepted accounting principles. It is possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies. We generally include expected revenue from contracts in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing the customers to payment for work performed. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be canceled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. We do not include orders of our unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses relate to the development and improvement of new and existing products and equipment, as well as conceptual and engineering evaluation for translation into practical applications. These expenses were $3.1 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $5.9 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was a result of our decision to reduce the level of spending in-line with the lower demand in the coal power generation market compared to the same periods in 2015. The second quarter and first six months of 2016 also benefited from $0.5 million and $1.0 million less depreciation expense, respectively, resulting from the impairment of research and development equipment and facilities during 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $4.1 million to $62.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to $58.8 million for the corresponding period in 2015 , primarily due to $4.1 million of additional stand-alone costs partially offset by reduced incentive compensation accruals. SG&A expenses increased by $5.8 million to $121.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to $115.9 million for the corresponding period in 2015 primarily due to additional stand-alone costs of approximately $7.8 million, partially offset by reduced incentive compensation accruals. Additional stand-alone costs were for administrative functions that were shared with the former Parent before the June 30, 2015 spin-off. The stand-alone costs to operate our business as an independent public entity are expected to exceed the historical allocations of expenses from BWC to us related to areas that include, but are not limited to,

25

litigation and other legal matters, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate governance matters, insurance and claims management.

Also, as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, we distributed assets and liabilities totaling $47.8 million associated with our former NE segment to BWC in conjunction with the spin-off on June 30, 2015. We received corporate allocations from our former Parent which totaled approximately $1.3 million and $2.7 million during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Though these allocations relate to our discontinued NE segment, they are included as part of SG&A expenses in the results from our continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 because allocations are not eligible for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Restructuring

2016 Restructuring activities

On June 28, 2016, we announced actions to restructure the Company's power business in advance of lower demand now projected for U.S. power generation from coal. The new organizational structure includes a redesigned work flow to provide an effective, flexible organization that can adapt to the changing market conditions and volumes. The $29.4 million charge we recorded for these second quarter restructuring activities is primarily related to employee severance of $13.5 million and non-cash impairment of the long-lived assets at B&W’s one coal power plant of $14.6 million. Other costs associated with the restructuring of $1.3 million are related to organizational realignment of personnel and processes. The 2016 restructuring activities are expected to allow our business to continue to serve the power market and maintain gross margins, despite the expected decline in volume as a result of the now lower projected demand in the US coal-fired power generation market. We expect additional restructuring charges of up to $18 million primarily related to additional manufacturing facility consolidation initiatives that could extend through 2017.

Pre-2016 Restructuring activities

Previously announced restructuring initiatives intended to better position us for growth and profitability have primarily been related to facility consolidation and organizational efficiency initiatives. Theses costs were $1.1 million and $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.0 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect additional restructuring charges of up to $9 million primarily related to facility demolition and consolidation activities, which will largely be completed during the second half of 2016. The full benefits of the pre-2016 restructuring activities may not be fully achieved based on lower market demand now projected in the coal-fired power generation market.

Spin-off Transaction Costs

In the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred $1.1 million of costs directly related to the spin-off from our former Parent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred $3.0 million of costs directly related to the spin-off from our former parent. The costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards. Costs associated with the spin-off that were incurred during the first half of 2015 were borne by our former Parent.

Mark to Market Adjustments For Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

We recognize actuarial gains and losses for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans into earnings as a component of net periodic benefit cost, which affect both our cost of operations and SG&A. In May 2016, the closure of our West Point, MS manufacturing facility resulted in a $1.8 million curtailment charge in our United States pension plan and lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan in April 2016 resulted in a $1.1 million plan settlement. Each of these events also resulted in interim mark to market accounting for the pension plans. Mark to market adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $24.1 million and $2.9 million for our United States and Canadian pension plans, respectively, based on a weighted-average discount rate of 3.89% and higher than expected returns on pension plan assets. The effects of these charges and mark to market adjustments on our cost of operations and SG&A are detailed in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. We may have additional interim mark to market adjustments during the second half of 2016 as a result of remeasurement events such as plan settlements or amendments, the impact of which are dependent on future events and/or market inputs that are not reasonably estimable at this time. There was no mark to market gain or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in the first half of 2015. We exclude

26

recognized actuarial gains and losses associated with our pension and other postretirement benefit plans from the results of our reportable segments.

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was approximately 12.5% as compared to 18.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to our equity investment in a foreign joint venture and state net operating losses, and to changes in the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income and losses, which were significantly affected by the mid-year mark to market adjustments and the charge from the renewable energy contract in Europe. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income and losses.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately 4.4% as compared to 29.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to our equity investment in a foreign joint venture and state net operating losses, and to the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income and losses, as described above. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income as well as the favorable impact of an increase in benefits for amended federal manufacturing deductions and certain amended state return filings, offset by an increase to a valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and capital resources

Of our $251.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 , approximately $189.9 million , or 76% , is held by foreign entities. On July 1, 2016, we disbursed approximately $174 million to acquire SPIG (see Note 20 to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements). In general, the remaining foreign cash balances are not available to fund our United States operations unless the funds are repatriated to the United States, which would expose us to taxes we presently have not accrued in our results of operations. We presently have no plans to repatriate these funds to the United States as our United States liquidity is sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our United States operations.

We continue to explore growth strategies across our segments through acquisitions to expand and complement our existing businesses. We would expect to fund these opportunities by cash on hand, external financing (including debt), equity or some combination thereof. We expect cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and our borrowing capacity to be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least twelve months from the date of this filing.


27

Our net cash used in operations was $15.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to cash provided by operations of $55.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The change is primarily attributable to lower net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 . In addition, a $27.8 million net decrease in accounts receivable, contracts in progress and advanced billings largely due to timing of billings and stage of completion of large, ongoing projects in our Global Power segment contributed to the decrease in operating cash flows. Based on the timing of project billing milestones, we expect to generate positive operating cash flows for the full-year 2016.

Our net cash used in investing activities was $42.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $17.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the $26.2 million we contributed in April 2016 to increase our interest in Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited ("TBWES”), our joint venture in India, for the purpose of extinguishing the joint venture's high-interest third-party debt and avoiding the associated future interest cost (our joint venture partner contributed the same amount to TBWES). TBWES subsequently used the cash contributed by the joint venture partners to pay-off all of its existing debt, including the long-term bank debt obtained in 2011 to finance the construction of the manufacturing facility TBWES operates in India and its working capital bank loan.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $51.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $80.6 million provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily for the repurchase of our shares of common stock during the period. The net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflects the net cash transferred from our former Parent during the period.

Credit facility

At June 30, 2016 , we had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and after giving effect to the leverage ratio and $94.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, we had approximately $217.1 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements primarily based on trailing-twelve-months EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2016 , we were in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in our revolving credit facility.

Other credit arrangements

Certain subsidiaries have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees in association with contracting activity. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees as of June 30, 2016 was $196.7 million .

We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain projects. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our surety bonding capacity, we believe our current capacity is more than adequate to support our existing project requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, these bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity. As of June 30, 2016 , bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $554.3 million .

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, see "Critical Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

We are in the process of implementing a new general ledger software system. The new system replaces the legacy system used by components of our Global Power and Global Services segments as part of the transition services arrangement we had with our former Parent. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, certain of our United States business components completed the implementation. In connection with the implementation, we updated the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes to our accounting procedures and business processes. We will implement additional information systems or modules including human resources and financial planning in a phased approach throughout the remainder of 2016.

Although the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting have been affected by the system implementation, we do not believe the implementation of the general ledger software system has had or will have a material adverse effect on our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management has taken steps to ensure that appropriate internal controls are designed and implemented. The new system was subject to extensive testing and data reconciliation during implementation.

Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
