EXHIBIT 99.1

Broadwind Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

CICERO, Ill., Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWEN, “Broadwind” or the “Company”), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today announced results for the third quarter 2023.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
(As compared to the third quarter 2022)

  • Revenue of $57.2 million, +$12.3 million y/y
  • GAAP Net Income of $4.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, +$6.2 million y/y
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million, +$5.7 million y/y
  • Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of 1.7x as of September 30, 2023
  • Total backlog of $220.8 million, +$88.6 million y/y, as of September 30, 2023
  • Reiterating full-year 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Broadwind reported total revenue of $57.2 million, an increase of 27% when compared to the prior-year period. The Company reported GAAP net income of $4.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2023, compared to a net loss of ($1.8) million, or ($0.09) per basic share, in the third quarter 2022. The Company reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $5.7 million when compared to the prior-year period. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please see the appendix of this release.

During the third quarter, Broadwind generated significant year-over-year revenue growth across each of its reporting segments, as well as an overall increase in consolidated profitability. The improved results were due to a combination of strong demand across its key end-markets, continued price discipline, improved fixed cost absorption, more efficient raw materials procurement, reduced freight expense and benefits derived from advanced manufacturing credits associated with the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), when compared to the prior-year period.

Total backlog increased by $88.6 million on a year-over-year basis to $220.8 million in the third quarter 2023, supported by growth within its Heavy Fabrications and Industrial Solutions segments. As of September 30, 2023, Broadwind had total cash on hand and availability under its credit facility of $13.6 million, as compared to $14.8 million at the end of the third quarter 2022, excluding the value of its advanced manufacturing credit receivable earned under the IRA.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Broadwind has continued to demonstrate strong operational excellence and commercial execution, consistent with a multi-year focus on building a market-leading precision manufacturing platform. Broadwind remains focused on organic growth within both existing and adjacent markets; further revenue mix diversification beyond its core wind business; improved asset optimization; ratable growth in orders and backlog; and disciplined capital management to support the requirements of the business.

  • Drive revenue mix diversification. On a trailing twelve-month basis through the end of the third quarter 2023, non-wind revenue increased by nearly 25% on a year-over-year basis to $103 million. During the third quarter 2023, total non-wind revenue increased 16% on a year-over-year basis to $27 million. These increases were primarily supported by broad-based share gains across industrial and power generation end-markets.
  • Deliver sustained margin expansion. In the third quarter 2023, total gross margin rate increased more than 940 basis points year-over-year from 8.4% to 17.8%, while non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin increased more than 900 basis points from 4.2% to 13.3% in the same period. IRA-related tax credits and effective cost-management contributed to the year-over-year improvement.
  • Drive asset optimization. Broadwind has deployed a lean operating approach across all divisions which includes continuous improvement efforts designed to drive throughput growth and asset optimization. The base load of orders in backlog is expected to allow the Company to focus these efforts on specific manufacturing processes offering the highest return on resources invested.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We delivered a strong third quarter performance, one highlighted by significant year-over-year increases in revenue, net income, margin realization and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “We generated double-digit year-over-year revenue growth across each of our reporting segments during the third quarter, with Heavy Fabrications segment revenue increasing more than 25% above the prior-year period given improved demand for wind tower sections and high-flow Pressure Reducing Systems units.”

“Our third quarter results benefited from a combination of improved operating leverage, continued price discipline, a higher value sales mix and improved process efficiencies, including early benefits from our recent investments in coatings automation and weld-prep technology,” continued Blashford. “These actions, together with the benefit provided by the IRA’s advanced manufacturing tax credit, resulted in third quarter non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of more than 13%, an increase of more than 900 basis points as compared to the prior year period.”

“We remain highly focused on balance sheet optimization as we seek to build liquidity, further reduce net leverage and improve working capital efficiency,” continued Blashford. “Our net leverage profile improved meaningfully over the last year, with our ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA declining to 1.7x as of September 30, 2023,” noted Blashford. “At the end of the third quarter, our advanced manufacturing credit receivable totaled more than $11 million, representing credits earned under the IRA. We are currently evaluating the sale of these earned credits to unaffiliated institutional third parties, an approach which, if pursued, would accelerate monetization of these credits during 2024.”

“Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to capitalize on a pending recovery in onshore wind investment, while leveraging our precision manufacturing expertise across new energy transition verticals, including renewable fuels and power generation,” concluded Blashford. “While we see early signs of a recovery within our onshore wind markets, 2024 is expected to be a transitional year for the industry. As before, we remain focused on delivering profitable growth through organic share gains and product innovation, consistent with our focus on long-term value creation.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

Heavy Fabrications Segment
Broadwind provides large, complex and precision fabrications to customers in a broad range of industrial markets. Key products include wind towers, Pressure Reducing Systems units and other industrial fabrications, including mining and material handling components and other frames/structures.

Heavy Fabrications segment sales increased 25% to $38.3 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by a more than 30% increase in the quantity of wind turbine tower sections sold. The segment reported operating income of $5.8 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to $0.4 million in the prior-year period. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $6.9 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to $1.5 million in the prior-year period.

In January 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a supply agreement for wind tower purchases valued at approximately $175 million with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer. Under the terms of the supply agreement, order fulfillment is to occur beginning in 2023 through year-end 2024. In early November 2023, the parties discussed their joint intent to shift approximately half of the contracted tower section orders initially planned for 2024 into 2025, while maintaining the total number of tower sections stipulated under the supply agreement.

Gearing Segment
Broadwind provides custom gearboxes, loose gearing and heat treat services to a broad set of customers in diverse markets, including energy production, surface and underground mining, wind energy, steel, material handling and other infrastructure markets.

Gearing segment sales increased by 12% to $11.4 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by increased demand from industrial and steel customers. The segment reported operating income of $0.3 million in the third quarter 2023, compared to $0.6 million in the prior-year period. The segment reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to $1.2 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 85% to $7.4 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to higher shipments of new gas turbine content in addition to the timing of revenue recognized from international customers. The segment reported operating income of $0.8 million in the third quarter 2023, compared to an operating loss of ($0.2) million in the prior-year period. The segment reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to ($0.05) 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, proxy contest-related expenses and other non-cash gains and losses) 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.
