Broadwind Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Results

CICERO, Ill., Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind (NASDAQ: BWEN), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2020.

FULL-YEAR 2020 RESULTS
(As compared to the full-year 2019)

- Wind tower sections sold, +23% y/y
- Total revenue of $198.5 million, +11% y/y
- Total gross profit of $18.0 million, +17% y/y
- Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million, +11% y/y

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
(As compared to the fourth quarter 2019)

- Total revenue of $40.3 million, (18%) y/y
- Total gross profit of $2.7 million, (33%) y/y
- Total net loss of ($2.0) million, or ($0.12) per basic share
- Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million, (87%) y/y
- Total cash and excess availability of $24.1 million, +27% y/y

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Broadwind reported total sales of $40.3 million, a decline of 18.0% when compared to the prior-year period. The Company reported a net loss of ($2.0) million, or ($0.12) per basic share in the fourth quarter 2020, compared to a net loss of ($1.6) million, or ($0.09) per basic share, in the fourth quarter 2019. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $1.8 million in the prior-year period.

Fourth quarter results were impacted by a delay in the delivery of a tower order to a new wind turbine customer, lower gearing demand and pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Both Heavy Fabrications and Gearing Segment revenue declined on a year-over-year basis in the fourth quarter, partially offset by growth in the Industrial Solutions segment.

STRATEGY UPDATE

During 2020, the Company advanced a multi-year strategy to capitalize on favorable secular growth trends within the domestic wind energy market; further diversify consolidated revenues into complementary end-markets; improve operating efficiency and plant utilization; and maintain a disciplined capital structure positioned to support both organic and inorganic growth.

Capitalize on secular growth in wind energy. Broadwind believes the domestic wind energy industry remains in the early stages of a multi-year investment cycle. During the next decade, the Company anticipates more than 80 GW of wind energy capacity additions will be added to the U.S. market, driven by a combination of new onshore and offshore wind turbine installations. The Company anticipates sustained corporate and industrial demand for renewable energy, together with a favorable policy backdrop, both representing significant long-term catalysts for secular growth within the renewables sector. As a tower supplier for three of the four largest wind turbine manufacturers operating in the U.S. market, the Company believes it remains well positioned to capitalize on increased demand for wind energy. To that end, wind tower orders increased by nearly $22 million in the fourth quarter 2020, when compared to the prior-year period.

Diversify sales mix. As a leading precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean tech and other applications, the Company continues to further diversify its sales mix across a wide range of non-wind markets, including the industrial, mining and natural gas turbine markets. For the full-year 2020, revenue from customers in non-wind markets represented more than 30% of total revenue, up from 8% in 2016.

Achieve scale through efficiency. The Company remains committed to operating its wind tower production facilities in Texas and Wisconsin at or near capacity, while reducing costs through continuous improvement initiatives. Given total current annual nameplate production capacity of 1,650 tower sections, plant utilization improved by more than 13% in the full-year 2020, when compared to the prior-year. Broadwind sold 1,150 tower sections in 2020, an increase of more than 23% versus the prior year when it sold 934 tower sections.

Disciplined capital management. The Company continues to retain sufficient liquidity to support the ongoing operations of the business, together with potential organic and inorganic growth investments. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company reduced total outstanding indebtedness under its line of credit by $6.4 million. Total cash and availability under the credit facility was $24.1 million as of December 31, 2020, versus $21.8 million as of September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was .2x, excluding $9.2 million in loans received under the Paycheck Protection Program.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“For the full-year 2020, total revenue, margin capture, free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA all increased versus the prior-year, as total wind tower section sales approached multi-year highs,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “Our proven technical capabilities, complete turnkey solutions, engineering expertise and production of complex fabrications across a wide range of industries represents a unique value proposition, one that continues to gain traction in the markets we serve.”

“Fourth quarter orders more than doubled versus the prior-year period to $36 million, driven mainly by more than $20 million of increased wind-related orders,” continued Blashford. “To date, we have booked more than 50% of our optimal wind tower production capacity for the full-year 2021. We believe our gearing business has begun to recover, given improved order levels and elevated quoting activity.”

“The outlook for the domestic wind energy industry continues to improve, driven by increased commercial and industrial demand for renewables, together with bipartisan support for policies that seek to accelerate new investment in both onshore and offshore installations,” noted Blashford. “We remain a key participant in the clean energy transition, our long-term customer relationships with the world’s leading wind turbine original equipment manufacturers position us to benefit from a significant, multi-year investment cycle in carbon-neutral energy resource development.”

“During the past decade, wind has become one of the most efficient sources of energy available to the market, driven by continued technological advancements,” continued Blashford. “Given the improved competitiveness of wind as a viable, low-cost energy source, policymakers, including those in the current presidential administration, have expressed a commitment to driving increased investment in our industry. The recent one-year extension of the renewable electricity production tax credit (PTC), the introduction of an investment tax credit designed to subsidize offshore wind development, together with the United States’ recent decision to rejoin as a signatory under the Paris Climate Accord, each represent meaningful policy catalysts for our industry. Looking ahead, we expect any major stimulus plan intended to further subsidize domestic growth in renewable energy production would likely include a provision for the wind industry, representing a significant opportunity for Broadwind.”

“Exiting the year, we had more than $24 million in total cash and availability under our line of credit to support organic and inorganic growth opportunities,” continued Blashford. “Total net leverage declined to 0.2x at year-end 2020, assuming PPP loan forgiveness, versus 1.7x at year-end 2019.”

ORDERS AND BACKLOG

Total orders increased 119% year-over-year to $36 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, given growth in customer demand within the Heavy Fabrications segment, which benefited from increased demand for wind towers in the period. The Gearing segment experienced a year-over-year decline in fourth quarter orders, due mainly to lower economic activity and capital investment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Industrial Solutions segment also experienced a year-over-year decline in fourth quarter orders, mainly due to the timing of customer orders.

For the full-year 2020, total orders declined 33% versus the prior-year, as wind turbine original equipment manufacturers secured production capacity in 2019 in advance of historical lead times due to surging wind tower installation expectations in 2020.

Total backlog declined 6% sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2020 to $92.9 million. As of December 31, 2020, Heavy Fabrications represented approximately 77% of total Company backlog.

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 and industrial fabrications, including mining and material handling components and other frames/structures.

Heavy Fabrications segment sales declined by $7.8 million to $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, when compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a shift in the timing of a customer order. Total operating income increased $0.6 million to $1.6 million, when compared to the fourth quarter 2019, driven by an improvement in product mix sold which was partially offset by a decline in wind towers sold and continued supply chain challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased $0.4 million to $2.7 million, when compared to the fourth quarter 2019.

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

Gearing segment sales declined by $2.7 million to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, when compared to the year-ago period, due to a pandemic-related slowing in economic activity across most major markets. The Company currently anticipates a modest recovery in gearing demand during the first quarter 2021. The Gearing segment reported an operating loss of ($1.9) million in 2020, versus operating income of $0.4 million in the prior-year period. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA declined by $2.5 million to ($1.5) million, when compared to the fourth quarter 2019.

Industrial Solutions Segment
Broadwind provides supply chain solutions, inventory management, kitting and assembly services, primarily serving the combined cycle natural gas turbine market.

Industrial Solutions segment sales increased by $1.7 million to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, when compared to the year-ago period, primarily driven by increased demand within the natural gas turbine market. Total operating income increased $1.3 million to $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, when compared to the prior-year period, given the absence of the accelerated amortization of the Red Wolf trade name in the prior year, higher revenue and improved expense management. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased $0.4 million to $0.5 million, when compared to the fourth quarter 2019.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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.
