- Third Quarter GAAP EPS of $0.18, Adjusted EPS of $0.24

- Renewable segment revenues increased 43%

- Completed original $100 Million Share Repurchase Authorization

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B&W) (NYSE:BW) announced today third quarter 2016 revenues of $411.0 million, a decrease of $9.0 million, or 2.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2015. The GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.18 compared to earnings per share of $0.11 for the third quarter of 2015. Our adjusted earnings per share, which excludes restructuring activities, acquisition and integration costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments for pension and other post-retirement benefits, and spin-off transaction costs, was $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.25 in the prior year period.

”We remain on track to achieve our forecasted results in 2016 despite some reluctance on the part of our power customers to invest, and continue to expect strength moving into 2017 as we remain focused on revenue diversification, margin improvement and excellence in project execution," said Mr. E. James Ferland, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Results of Operations

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $411.0 million, a decrease of $9.0 million, compared to $420.0 million for the third quarter of 2015, due primarily to decreased volume in our Power segment partially offset by an increase in revenues from our Renewable segment and contributions from newly acquired B&W SPIG within our Industrial segment. The GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2016 was $11.1 million as compared to operating income of $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. The adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2016 was $15.0 million, a decrease of $6.9 million compared to adjusted operating income of $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, due to lower volume in our Power segment and accelerated intangible amortization expense related to the acquisition of B&W SPIG, partially offset by higher gross profit margin in the Power segment and reductions in overhead costs.

Third quarter 2016 revenues for the Power segment decreased 29% to $209.8 million compared to $294.2 million in revenues in the prior year period. Revenues decreased as a result of lower oil sands work in Canada and lower power plant retrofit activity. Gross profit in the Power segment in the third quarter 2016 was $48.9 million, compared to $47.6 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin improved year over year as a result of good project performance and benefits from our restructuring activities in the third quarter of 2016, while a litigation settlement and a contract loss impacted the third quarter of 2015.

Revenues in the Renewable segment were $124.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, versus $86.9 million in the corresponding period in 2015, an increase of $37.4 million driven by an increased level of activity on our renewable energy contracts compared to the prior year. The Renewable segment gross profit of $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million higher than the $17.5 million gross profit reported in the prior year third quarter due to the increased volume. "We would normally expect higher gross margin from our Renewable segment, but in the short term we continue to recognize revenue from our challenged European renewable contract at zero gross profit margin," said Ferland. "During the third quarter, the net estimated costs to complete the project improved by $1.0 million with site productivity related cost increases more than offset by a probable project related insurance recovery. Ramp down of construction activities on the site is underway, and will continue into early 2017 as we complete key milestones on this project."

The Industrial segment contributed $76.8 million in revenues for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $38.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $37.9 million due to the addition of B&W SPIG, our global cooling system and services business, which we acquired on July 1, 2016. Gross profit in the Industrial segment was $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, a $1.2 million increase compared to $13.4 million in the prior year period. B&W SPIG contributed $4.2 million of gross profit in the segment. The B&W MEGTEC division gross profit was $10.4 million, $3.0 million lower than the prior year due to a change in revenue mix.

Liquidity

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance, net of restricted cash, decreased $185.9 million for the quarter to $65.1 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016, which was mainly driven by the purchase of SPIG S.p.A for approximately $172 million and $25.9 million of share repurchases. We had outstanding balances totaling $44.7 million on our revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2016, which includes foreign revolving debt acquired with B&W SPIG.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock for $25.9 million during the third quarter of 2016 under a $100 million share repurchase program that was authorized in 2015 by the Board of Directors. We completed the program on September 30, 2016 having purchased 5.4 million shares since July 1, 2015. On August 4, 2016, a new $100 million share repurchase authorization was established and it remains available.

2016 Outlook

Revenue guidance for 2016 is reduced from $1.8 billion to $1.7 billion due to challenging Industrial and Power markets. The Company reaffirms adjusted EPS guidance of $0.63 to $0.83. Adjusted EPS excludes restructuring activities, acquisition and integration costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments for pension and other post-retirement benefits, and spin-off transaction costs. As more fully described in Exhibit 1, Management is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS for the full year to a comparable GAAP range.

(2) B&W is providing non-GAAP information regarding certain of its historical results and guidance on future earnings per share to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures. B&W believes the non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into the Company’s operational performance and provides these measures to investors to help facilitate comparisons of operating results with prior periods and to assist them in understanding B&W’s ongoing operations.

2016 Outlook

Management has provided full year adjusted earnings per diluted share ("adjusted EPS") guidance of $0.63 to $0.83. It is not possible for management to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential mark to market adjustments to our pension and other postretirement benefit plan liabilities or other non-routine costs that we adjust in our presentation of adjusted EPS guidance. These items are dependent on future events and/or market inputs that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, management is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS for the full year included in the 2016 Outlook section of this earnings release to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from our adjusted EPS guidance include the historical adjustments noted in the tables above, and our adjusted EPS guidance also excludes future estimable adjusting items, including charges relating to previously announced restructuring initiatives of $0.08-$0.16 per share, additional spin costs of approximately $0.01 per share and additional acquisition and integration costs of approximately $0.01 per share.
