Broadwind Energy Announces Q3 2017 Results

Highlights:
·	Q3 2017 orders of $18 million include sustained strong Gearing segment orders of $11 million and Process Systems segment orders of $5 million

·	Q3 2017 revenue of $30 million in line with guidance – lower tower sales volumes partially offset by increases in other segments

·	Q3 2017 loss of $.14 per share, due to lower revenues

·	YTD revenue of $129 million and EPS of $.25 including Q1 2017 tax benefit of $.34

·	Credit line balance declines to $7.8 million due to reduced operating working capital requirements            
CICERO, Ill., Oct. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWEN) reported sales of $29.6 million in Q3 2017, compared to $42.6 million in Q3 2016. Towers and Weldments segment revenue was down $22 million as customers reduced purchases in order to draw down component inventories. The weaker tower revenue was partially offset by $6.1 million of sales from the Process Systems segment due primarily to the acquisition of Red Wolf Company, LLC earlier this year, and $3 million increased sales from the Gearing segment due to the strong order intake from oil and gas customers since the beginning of the year.
The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $.14 per share, in Q3 2017, compared to a net income from continuing operations of $1.2 million in Q3 2016, or $.08 per share. The reduction in earnings was largely due to the significantly weaker results from the Towers and Weldments segment, partly offset by a $1.4 million gain, resulting from the expectation that the contingent consideration payment associated with the Red Wolf acquisition will not be paid for the first year of ownership.
The Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $.2 million, or $.01 per share in Q3 2017, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $.4 million, or $.03 per share in Q3 2016, as activities in the discontinued segment have substantially wound down.
The Company reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based payments and restructuring costs) of $.9 million in Q3 2017, down from $3.3 million in Q3 2016 (please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release).
Broadwind CEO Stephanie Kushner stated, “Our Q3 2017 results were disappointing but in-line with expectations. The Towers and Weldments segment is managing through the challenges of a significant decline in production, which will recover beginning early next year. During the quarter, the tower workforce was sized appropriately for the lower production volume, although we transferred several employees to work on industrial weldments at both our Manitowoc and Abilene manufacturing facilities, where demand has been growing. Additionally, we are leveraging the Broadwind Weld School to train and qualify other Broadwind production workers to support the increasing demand for skilled welding professionals in our markets. Our Gearing segment shipped $7.6 million during the quarter as a result of the significant uptick in orders during 2017, primarily from oil & gas customers. In response to the market recovery and our strong order intake, we incurred some additional expense to purchase tooling, repair idle equipment and ramp up and train employees to support higher sales. With our current backlog, we have visibility into mid-2018 and expect quarterly revenues in the $9-10 million range.”
Ms. Kushner continued, “Our Process Systems segment had a much improved third quarter, with $6.1 million in sales and positive operating income. Integration of Red Wolf is complete, and we are focused on customer and product diversification, which is progressing more slowly than we’d planned. We remain enthusiastic about the opportunities in this business segment.
“The fourth quarter should represent our low point for towers. As a result, we expect consolidated revenues in the fourth quarter to be in the $20 million range, and to incur an EBITDA loss of $2-3 million. Revenues should begin to rebound in early 2018. We expect first quarter consolidated revenue of about $30 million and second quarter consolidated revenue to rise above $40 million. The industry maintains expectations for a strong market through at least 2020 and Broadwind continues to be a reliable supplier, producing high-quality towers which we believe is a key differentiator in this market.”
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue totaled $129.0 million, compared to $132.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The 3% decrease was due primarily to a $18.8 million decrease in Tower and Weldments segment revenue partially offset by $12.3 million of sales from the Process Systems segment primarily due to the acquisition of Red Wolf earlier this year and $2.8 million of higher sales in the Gearing segment. The decreased sales in the Towers and Weldments segment were due to the low order intake in 2017, as noted above.
Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $3.7 million, or $.25 per share, compared to $.9 million, or $.06 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The current year net income includes a $5.1 million, or $.34 per share, income tax benefit due primarily to the partial release of a tax valuation allowance related to the Red Wolf acquisition. This was partially offset by a net loss from continuing operations in the Process Systems segment totaling $1.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017. Net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $.4 million compared to $.9 million for the same period in 2016. The Company reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was due primarily to the reduced sales volumes in the Towers and Weldments segment, partially offset by the gain recognized from the reversal of the first year contingent consideration from the Red Wolf acquisition, as well as favorability in the other business segments (please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release).
Orders and Backlog
The Company booked $17.7 million of net new orders in Q3 2017, down from $27.5 million of net new orders booked in Q3 2016. Orders in the Towers and Weldments segment totaled $1.8 million in Q3 2017, reflecting the weaker demand from our tower customers who are drawing down component inventories. Gearing segment orders totaled $10.6 million in Q3 2017, up substantially from Q3 2016 orders of $2.2 million, due to recovery in the oil and gas industry, and the expansion of the commercial organization. Process Systems segment orders totaled $5.3 million in Q3 2017.
At September 30, 2017, total backlog was $143.3 million, compared to a backlog of $204.2 million at September 30, 2016.
Segment Results
Towers and Weldments
Broadwind Energy produces fabrications for wind, oil and gas, mining and other industrial applications, specializing in the production of wind turbine towers.
Towers and Weldments segment sales totaled $16.0 million in Q3 2017, compared to $38.0 million in Q3 2016. The decrease in sales was due to a 63% decrease in tower production versus the prior year, slightly offset by higher material costs, which are generally passed through to customers. Towers and Weldments operating loss in Q3 2017 totaled $1.5 million compared to operating income of $4.1 million in Q3 2016 due to the lower volume of towers sold in Q3, partly offset by significant reductions in manufacturing overhead and operating expenses. Towers and Weldments segment net loss in Q3 2017 totaled $.9 million compared to net income of $2.8 million in Q3 2016. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss totaled $.2 million in Q3 2017, compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million in Q3 2016 due mainly to the factors described above (please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release).
Gearing
Broadwind Energy engineers, builds and remanufactures precision gears and gearboxes for oil and gas, mining, steel and wind applications.
Gearing segment sales totaled $7.6 million in Q3 2017, compared to $4.6 million in Q3 2016 due primarily to stronger sales to oil and gas customers.
Gearing segment operating loss totaled $.4 million in Q3 2017, compared to $.7 million in Q3 2016. The improvement was due to the initial impact of the increase in volume somewhat offset by increased expenses on tooling and maintenance and the addition of key employees to support the ramp up in production associated with the strong order intake in 2017. Net loss for the Gearing segment narrowed similarly to $.4 million compared to $.7 million in Q3 2016. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2017 totaled $.3 million, compared to break-even non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2016, due to the factors described above (please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release).
Process Systems
Broadwind Energy designs and manufactures custom, modular systems for compression, filtration and other specialized process applications for the global market. On February 1, 2017 the Company acquired Red Wolf which has been combined with the Abilene-based CNG and fabrication business, previously reported as a part of Towers and Weldments, to form the Process Systems segment.
For Q3 2017, Process Systems segment sales totaled $6.1 million and Q3 2017 net income totaled $.1 million. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled $.6 million in Q3 2017 (please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release).
Corporate
Corporate and other expenses totaled $.1 million in Q3 2017, compared to $2.0 million in Q3 2016. The current quarter included a $1.4 million gain resulting from the expectation that the contingent consideration payment associated with the Red Wolf acquisition will not be paid for the first year of ownership. This impact was partially offset by increased self-insurance expenses.
Cash and Liquidity
During Q3 2017, operating working capital (accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable and customer deposits) decreased to $15.5 million, or 13% of sales, due the timing of customer receipts.
Capital expenditures, net of disposals, in Q3 2017 totaled $1.7 million due primarily to various facility upgrades. To-date, capital investments total $6.0 million, primarily for upgrades to tower manufacturing capabilities and to expand the Abilene tower facility.
Debt and capital leases totaled $12.9 million at September 30, 2017, including the $2.6 million New Markets Tax Credit loan, which is expected to be substantially forgiven when it matures in 2018. The Company’s $25 million line of credit with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce had a balance of $7.8 million at September 30, 2017 and $11.8 million of availability.
Cash assets (cash and short-term investments) remained near zero as planned because the Company is utilizing its line of credit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
 The Company provides non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation, and other stock payments) as supplemental information regarding the Company’s business performance. The Company’s management uses adjusted EBITDA when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company’s business, 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, and it 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.
