BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(Dollars are presented in thousands, except share, per share and per employee data or unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (“Broadwind Heavy Fabrications”), Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc. (“Brad Foote”) and Broadwind Industrial Solutions, LLC (“Broadwind Industrial Solutions”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, or any other interim period, which may differ materially due to, among other things, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and as supplemented by the risk factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Company Description

Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean technology and other specialized applications. The Company provides technologically advanced high value products to customers with complex systems and stringent quality standards that operate in energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, primarily in the United States of America (the “U.S.”). The Company’s capabilities include, but are not limited to the following: heavy fabrications, welding, metal rolling, coatings, gear cutting and shaping, gearbox manufacturing and repair, heat treatment, assembly, engineering and packaging solutions. The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, which accounted for 50% and 53% of the Company’s revenue during the first three months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company typically meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, the 2022 Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment financing, and access to the public or private debt and/or equity markets, including the option to raise capital from the sale of our securities under the Form S-3 (as discussed below).

See Note 8, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company’s other debt.

Debt and finance lease obligations at March 31, 2023 totaled $30,591, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $19,752. The Company’s outstanding debt includes $16,945 outstanding from the senior secured revolving credit facility under the 2022 Credit Facility. The Company had $6,947 drawn on the senior secured revolving term loan as of March 31, 2023. The Company’s revolving line of credit balance is included in the “Line of credit and current portion of long-term debt” line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

On August 18, 2020, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2020 (the “Form S-3”) and expires on October 12, 2023. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows the Company to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, the Company would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes.

On September 12, 2022, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and HC Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the “Agents”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agents shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share with an aggregate sales price of up to $12,000. Any shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and the 424(b) prospectus supplement relating to the offering dated September 12, 2022. The Company will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 100,379 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of the Company’s common stock were approximately $323 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $9 and before deducting other expenses of $93. No shares of the Company’s common stock were issued under the Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.

The Company also utilizes supply chain financing arrangements as a component of its funding for working capital, which accelerates receivable collections and helps to better manage cash flow. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell certain of its accounts receivable balances to banking institutions who have agreed to advance amounts equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The balances under these agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, as they are sold without recourse. Cash proceeds from these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense by the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company sold account receivables totaling $9,614 and $15,925, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $131 and $78, respectively.

The Company anticipates that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, potential proceeds from the sale of Company securities under the Sales Agreement and any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S-3 will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

​

If assumptions regarding the Company’s production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company’s large customers, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management’s expectations, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. If the Company’s operational performance deteriorates significantly, it may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit the Company’s operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require the Company to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other restrictions on the Company. While the Company believes that it will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate its businesses and to meet its financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that its operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to meet these financial obligations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts, which are not material, have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, health insurance reserves, and valuation allowances on deferred taxes. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 — REVENUES

Revenues are recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Heavy Fabrications |  | $ | 31,593 |  |  | $ | 27,272 |
Gearing |  |  | 11,965 |  |  |  | 10,584 |
Industrial Solutions |  |  | 5,423 |  |  |  | 4,073 |
Eliminations |  |  | (108 | ) |  |  | (85 | )
Consolidated |  | $ | 48,873 |  |  | $ | 41,844 |

Table of Contents

Revenue within the Company’s Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments, as well as industrial fabrication product line revenues within the Heavy Fabrications segment, are generally recognized at a point in time, typically when the promised goods or services are physically transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the purchase order and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. If applicable, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.

For many tower sales within the Company’s Heavy Fabrications segment, products are sold under terms included in bill and hold sales arrangements that result in different timing for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements only when there is a substantive reason for the agreement, the ordered goods are identified separately as belonging to the customer and not available to fill other orders, the goods are currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Assuming these required revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon completion of product manufacture and customer acceptance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a portion of revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment over time, as the products had no alternative use to the Company and the Company had an enforceable right to payment, including profit, upon termination of the contracts. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $1,858 and $2,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the applicable Heavy Fabrications contracts because the projects are labor intensive. Contract assets are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied but the Company is not yet entitled to payment. Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the end of the period.

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. Customer deposits, deferred revenue and other receipts are deferred and recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. Cash payments to customers are classified as reductions of revenue in the Company’s statement of operations.

The Company does not disclose the value of the unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |

Diluted net income (loss) per share |  | $ | 0.04 |  |  | $ | (0.12 | )

(1) Restricted stock units granted and outstanding of 623,191 as of March 31, 2022, are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings due to the anti-dilutive effect as a result of the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

​

NOTE 5 — AMP CREDITS

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized Advanced Manufacturing Production tax credits (“AMP credits”) totaling $3,162 within the Heavy Fabrications segment. These AMP credits were introduced as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) which was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind and solar components. Manufacturers of wind components qualify for the AMP credits based on the total rated capacity, expressed on a per watt basis, of the completed wind turbine for which such component is designed. The credit applies to each component produced and sold in the U.S. starting in 2023 through 2032. Wind towers within the Company’s Heavy Fabrications segment are eligible for credits of $0.03 per watt for each wind tower produced. In calculating the eligible credit, the Company relied on the megawatt rating provided by the customer. Manufacturers can apply to the Internal Revenue Service for cash refunds of the AMP credits for up to five years. After the first five years, the AMP credits are transferable and can be sold to third parties for cash. The Company recognized the AMP credits as a reduction to cost of sales in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The assets related to the AMP credits are recognized as a long-term asset in the “AMP credit receivable” line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023. There are currently several critical and complex aspects of the IRA pending technical guidance and regulations from the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. Any modifications to the law or its effects arising, for example, through technical guidance and regulations from the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department could result in changes to the expected and/or actual benefits in the future, which could have a material effect on the Company, results of operations, financial performance and future development efforts.

NOTE 6 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the fair value assigned to definite-lived assets such as trade names and customer relationships as part of the Company’s acquisition of Brad Foote completed in 2007 as well as the noncompetition agreements, trade names and customer relationships that were part of the Company’s acquisition of Red Wolf Company, LLC completed in 2017. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with a remaining life range from 0 to 5 years.

Credit Facility

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), which replaced its prior credit facility and provided the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. In connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company incurred deferred financing costs in the amount of $479 primarily related to the revolving credit loan, which is net of accumulated amortization of $64. These costs are included in the “Other assets” line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

On February 8, 2023, the Company executed Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver which waived the Company’s fourth quarter minimum EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) requirement for the period ended December 31, 2022, amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) requirements for the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2024 through and including June 30, 2024 and each twelve-month period thereafter, and amended the minimum EBITDA requirements applicable to the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

The 2022 Credit Agreement, as amended, contains customary covenants limiting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets, change the nature of its business, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The initial term of the revolving credit facility matures August 4, 2027. The term loan also matures on August 4, 2027, with monthly payments based on an 84-month amortization.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $23,892 of outstanding indebtedness under the 2022 Credit Facility, with the ability to borrow an additional $10,567. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2023, the effective interest rate of the senior secured revolving credit facility was 6.83% and the effective rate of the senior secured term loan was 7.33%. As of December 31, 2022, the effective interest rate of the senior secured revolving credit facility was 6.55% and the effective rate of the senior secured term loan was 6.80%.

Other

In addition, the Company has outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $1,060 and $1,094 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with $62 and $88 included in the “Line of credit and current portion of long-term debt” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $3 to $16 and an interest rate of approximately 5%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable mature in September 2028.

NOTE 9 — LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment. The leases are accounted for under Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), and the Company elected to apply each available practical expedient. The discount rates used for the leases are based on an interest rate yield curve developed for the leases in the Company’s lease portfolio.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have additional operating leases that resulted in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had additional finance leases that resulted in property, plant, and equipment obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $0 and $92, respectively.

Some of the Company’s facility leases include options to renew. The exercise of the renewal options is typically at the Company’s discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes them in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise them.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits, approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Based upon interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is approximately equal to its fair value.

11

Table of Contents

The Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Financial instruments are assessed quarterly to determine the appropriate classification within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between fair value classifications are made based upon the nature and type of the observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $0.

NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance, permanent differences and provisions for state and local income taxes. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $23, compared to a provision for income taxes of $7 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. On August 16, 2022, Congress enacted the IRA which includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind and solar components produced and sold in the U.S. starting in 2023 through 2032. No rulings have been made on the taxability of these credits. Due to the uncertainty of the credits, the Company assumed no tax impact for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2023, open tax years in federal and some state jurisdictions date back to 1996 due to the taxing authorities’ ability to adjust operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal and unapportioned state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $288,462 of which $227,781 will generally begin to expire in 2026. The majority of the NOL carryforwards will expire in various years from 2028 through 2037. NOLs generated after January 1, 2018 will not expire.

Since the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits, they will not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the expiration of the applicable statues of limitations within the next twelve months. In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone certain changes in stock ownership. The Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards and built-in losses may be limited, under Section 382 of the IRC or otherwise, by the Company’s issuance of common stock or by other changes in stock ownership. Upon completion of the Company’s analysis of Section 382 of the IRC in 2010, the Company determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership triggered an annual limitation on NOL carryforwards and built-in losses available for utilization, thereby currently limiting annual NOL usage to $14,284 per year. Further limitations may occur, depending on additional future changes in stock ownership. To the extent the Company’s use of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses is significantly limited in the future, the Company’s income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would be if the Company were able to use NOL carryforwards and built-in losses without such limitation, which could result in lower profits and the loss of benefits from these attributes.

In February 2013, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, which was amended in February 2016 and approved by the Company’s stockholders (as amended, the “Rights Plan”), designed to preserve the Company’s substantial tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under Section 382 of the IRC. On February 7, 2019 and February 3, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved amendments extending the Rights Plan for an additional three years.

The Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, becoming the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock and thereby triggering a further limitation of the Company’s available NOL carryforwards. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2013. Each Right entitles its holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $7.26 per Right, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Rights Plan, any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock without the approval of the Board would be subject to significant dilution in the ownership interest of that person or group. Stockholders who owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of February 12, 2013 will not trigger the preferred share purchase rights unless they acquire additional shares after that date.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023.

NOTE 12 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

​

There was no stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and no stock options were outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit and performance award activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

NOTE 13 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER MATTERS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of its business. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. It is possible that if one or more of such matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company’s financial condition and cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability.

Other Matters

The Company received a notice dated January 18, 2023 from WM Argyle Fund, LLC (“WM Argyle”), which allegedly owned approximately 1.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares at the time of submission nominating a slate of six candidates for election as directors at the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. WM Argyle later reduced its slate from six nominees to three nominees and has filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company remains open to ongoing engagement with WM Argyle. However, if the Company and WM Argyle cannot reach an agreement in connection with its nomination, there will be a contested election at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and up to three of the Company’s incumbent directors could be replaced by WM Argyle’s nominees.

NOTE 14 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of the accounting standards issued or effective in the current fiscal year may be applicable to it, the Company believes that none of the new standards have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for most financial assets with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The series of new guidance amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and contract assets. The guidance should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company implemented CECL during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The impact on the Company's financial statements was not material. See Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of CECL.

NOTE 15— SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is organized into reporting segments based on the nature of the products offered and business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

The Company’s segments and their product and service offerings are summarized below:

Heavy Fabrications

The Company provides large, complex and precision fabrications to customers in a broad range of industrial markets. The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, although it has diversified into other industrial markets in order to improve capacity utilization, reduce customer concentration, and reduce exposure to uncertainty related to governmental policies currently impacting the U.S. wind energy industry. Within the U.S. wind energy industry, the Company provides steel towers and tower adapters primarily to wind turbine manufacturers. Production facilities, located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Abilene, Texas, are situated in close proximity to the primary U.S. domestic wind energy and equipment manufacturing hubs. The two facilities have a combined annual tower production capacity of up to approximately 550 towers (1,650 tower sections), sufficient to support turbines generating more than 1,100 megawatts of power. The Company has expanded production capabilities and leveraged manufacturing competencies, including welding, lifting capacity and stringent quality practices, into aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) components utilized in surface and underground mining, construction, material handling, oil and gas (“O&G”) and other infrastructure markets.

Gearing

The Company provides gearing and gearboxes to a broad set of customers in diverse markets including; onshore and offshore O&G fracking and drilling, surface and underground mining, wind energy, steel, material handling and other infrastructure markets. The Company has manufactured loose gearing, gearboxes and systems, and provided heat treat services for aftermarket and OEM applications for nearly a century. The Company uses an integrated manufacturing process, which includes machining and finishing processes in Cicero, Illinois, and heat treatment and gearbox repair in Neville Island, Pennsylvania.

Industrial Solutions

The Company 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.

NOTE 16 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Compliance and Remediation Liabilities

The Company’s operations and products are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and sells products governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, soil and groundwater contamination, employee health and safety, and product content, performance and packaging. Certain environmental laws may impose the entire cost or a portion of the cost of investigating and cleaning up a contaminated site, regardless of fault, upon any one or more of a number of parties, including the current or previous owners or operators of the site. These environmental laws also impose liability on any person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at a contaminated site. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of sites and users of disposal sites for personal injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous substances from those sites.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Beginning January 1, 2023, the Company assessed and recorded an allowance for credit losses using the CECL model. The adjustment for credit losses to management’s current estimate is recorded in net income as credit loss expense. All credit losses were on trade receivables and/or contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers.

The Company selected a loss-rate method for the CECL model, based on the relationship between historical write-offs of receivables and the underlying sales by major customer. Utilizing this model, a historical loss-rate is applied against the amortized cost of applicable assets, at the time the asset is established. The loss rate reflects the Company’s current estimate of the risk of loss (even when that risk is remote) over the expected remaining contractual life of the assets. The Company’s policy is to deduct write-offs from the allowance for credit losses account in the period in which the financial assets are deemed uncollectible. The adjustment for credit losses using this CECL model on accounts receivable and contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was not material.

The allowance for credit losses for prior periods was prepared in accordance with legacy GAAP. Based upon past experience and judgment, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable. The Company’s standard allowance estimation methodology considered a number of factors that, based on its collections experience, the Company believed would have an impact on its credit risk and the collectability of its accounts receivable. These factors included individual customer circumstances, history with the Company, the length of the time period during which the account receivable had been past due and other relevant criteria.

The Company monitors its collections and write-off experience to assess whether or not adjustments to its allowance estimates are necessary. Changes in trends in any of the factors that the Company believes may impact the collectability of its accounts receivable, as noted above, or modifications to its credit standards, collection practices and other related policies may impact the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and its financial results. The activity in the accounts receivable allowance liability for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 17 |  |  | $ | 47 |
Bad debt expense |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | — |
Write-offs |  |  | — |  |  |  | (23 | )
Balance at end of period |  | $ | 31 |  |  | $ | 24 |

Collateral

In select instances, the Company has pledged specific inventory and machinery and equipment assets to serve as collateral on related payable or financing obligations.

Liquidated Damages

In certain customer contracts, the Company has agreed to pay liquidated damages in the event of qualifying delivery or production delays. These damages are typically limited to a specific percentage of the value of the product in question and/or are dependent on actual losses sustained by the customer. The Company does not believe that this potential exposure will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. There was no reserve for liquidated damages at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

KEY METRICS USED BY MANAGEMENT TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we use certain other financial measures to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures primarily consist of adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and free cash flow which help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, assess operational efficiencies, oversee our overall liquidity, and evaluate our overall financial performance.

Key Financial Measures

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Net revenues |  | $ | 48,873 |  |  | $ | 41,844 |
Net income (loss) |  | $ | 769 |  |  | $ | (2,404 | )
Adjusted EBITDA (1) |  | $ | 4,098 |  |  | $ | (8 | )
Capital expenditures |  | $ | 1,065 |  |  | $ | 492 |
Free cash flow (2) |  | $ | (23,335 | ) |  | $ | (4,487 | )
Operating working capital (3) |  | $ | 26,843 |  |  | $ | 22,622 |
Total debt |  | $ | 24,952 |  |  | $ | 14,025 |
Total orders |  | $ | 39,602 |  |  | $ | 52,693 |
Backlog at end of period (4) |  | $ | 287,808 |  |  | $ | 117,133 |
Book-to-bill (5) |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 1.3 |

(1) | We provide 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 our business performance. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA when it internally evaluates the performance of our business, reviews financial trends and makes operating and strategic decisions. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides a better understanding of our past financial performance and future results, and it allows investors to evaluate our performance using the same methodology and information as used by our management. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.

(2) | We define free cash flow as adjusted EBITDA plus or minus changes in operating working capital less capital expenditures net of any proceeds from disposals of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our business for purposes such as repaying maturing debt and funding future investments.

(3) | We define operating working capital as accounts receivable and inventory net of accounts payable and customer deposits.

(4) | Our backlog at March 31, 2023 and 2022 is net of revenue recognized over time.

(5) | We define the book-to-bill as the ratio of new orders we received, net of cancellations, to revenue during a period.

The following table reconciles our non-GAAP key financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Net income (loss) |  | $ | 769 |  |  | $ | (2,404 | )

OUR BUSINESS

First Quarter Overview

We booked $39,602 in new orders in the first quarter of 2023, down from $52,693 in the first quarter of 2022. Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, wind tower orders decreased 63% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the timing of tower orders as a major wind tower customer secured relatively longer-term capacity during the fourth quarter of 2022 instead of ordering in more regular intervals as was the case in the prior year. Partially offsetting this decrease was a 113% increase in industrial fabrication orders primarily due to improved demand from industrial customers and demand for our Pressure Reducing Systems (“PRS”) units. Gearing segment orders decreased 12% from the prior year period primarily due to reduced demand from O&G customers. Orders within our Industrial Solutions segment increased by 56% as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to improved demand for new gas turbine content.

We recognized revenue of $48,873 in the first quarter of 2023, up 17% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment wind tower revenue increased 12% primarily as a result of less customer supplied materials in the current year quarter and increased steel content, which is generally a pass-through to customers. Industrial fabrication revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment increased 31% primarily due to increased demand from mining customers and our PRS units in the current year quarter. Gearing segment revenue increased 13% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher order intake in recent quarters from industrial customers, partially offset by a decrease in other markets served. Industrial Solutions segment revenue increased by 33% from the prior year period primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized from international customers.

We recorded net income of $769 or $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss $2,404 or $0.12 per share in the first quarter of 2022.This increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales and the $3,162 recognized from the AMP credits (discussed below). This was partially offset by higher medical costs and proxy contest-related expenses.

During the first quarter of 2023, we were able to recognize advanced manufacturing tax credits (“AMP credits”) of $3,162 within the Heavy Fabrications segment. The AMP credits were a part of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) which was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind and solar components. Manufacturers qualify for the AMP credits based on the total rated capacity, expressed on a per watt basis, of the completed wind turbine for which such component is designed. The credit is applicable for each component produced and sold in the U.S. starting in 2023 through 2032. Wind towers within our Heavy Fabrications segment were eligible for credits of $0.03 per watt for each wind tower produced.

Consolidated

Revenues increased by $7,029 versus the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in wind tower revenue by 12% as a result of less customer supplied materials in the current year quarter and increased steel content, which is generally a pass-through to customers. Industrial fabrication revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment increased 31% primarily due to increased demand from mining customers and for our PRS units in the current year quarter. Gearing segment revenue increased 13% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher order intake in recent quarters from industrial customers, partially offset by a decrease in other markets served. Industrial Solutions segment revenue increased by 33% from the prior year period primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized from international customers.

Gross profit increased by $4,964 when compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the higher sales volumes within all segments and the $3,162 recognized from the AMP credits.

Due primarily to higher medical costs and proxy-contest related expenses, operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 11.7% in the current-year quarter from 9.8% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $769 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $2,404 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in net income was primarily due to the factors described above.

Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, wind tower orders decreased 63% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the timing of tower orders as a major wind tower customer secured relatively longer-term capacity during the fourth quarter of 2022 instead of ordering in more regular intervals as was the case in the prior year. Partially offsetting this decrease in orders was a 113% increase in industrial fabrication orders primarily due to improved demand from industrial customers and demand for our PRS units.

Segment revenues increased by 16% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to a 12% increase in wind tower revenue as a result of less customer supplied materials in the current year quarter and increased steel content, which is generally a pass-through to customers. Industrial fabrication revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment increased 31% primarily due to increased demand from mining customers and for our PRS units in the current year quarter.

Heavy Fabrications segment operating results improved by $3,251 as compared to the prior year quarter. The improvement in operating performance was primarily a result of reduced tower costs as a result of the AMP credits recognized of $3,162 and higher industrial fabrication revenues recognized in the current year quarter. Operating profit margin was 8.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to (1.7%) during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Gearing segment orders decreased 12% from the prior year period primarily due to reduced demand from O&G customers. Gearing revenue was up 13% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher order intake in recent quarters from industrial customers, partially offset by a decrease in mining and aftermarket wind revenue.

Gearing segment operating income improved by $693 from the prior year period. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher sales, the absence of ramp-up costs incurred in the prior year, and a more profitable mix of product sold. Operating margin was 4.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2023, an improvement from (1.1)% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven primarily by the items identified above.

Industrial Solutions segment orders increased by 56% from the prior year period primarily due to improved demand for new gas turbine content. Segment revenue increased by 33% from the prior year period primarily due to revenue recognized from international customers. Operating income increased versus the prior-year quarter primarily as a result of higher sales and a more profitable mix of product sold.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased from the prior year period primarily due to higher medical costs and increased professional fees associated with the contested proxy election.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 4, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. As of March 31, 2023, cash totaled $1,729, a decrease of $11,003 from December 31, 2022. Debt and finance lease obligations at March 31, 2023 totaled $30,591. As of March 31, 2023, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $10,567 under the 2022 Credit Facility.

In addition to the 2022 Credit Facility, we also utilize supply chain financing arrangements as a component of our funding for working capital, which accelerates receivable collections and helps to better manage cash flow. Under these agreements, we have agreed to sell certain of our accounts receivable balances to banking institutions who have agreed to advance amounts equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The balances under these agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, as they are sold without recourse. Cash proceeds from these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense.

On August 18, 2020, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2020 (the “Form S-3”) and expires on October 12, 2023. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows us at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, we would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes.

On September 12, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and HC Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the “Agents”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may sell from time to time through the Agents shares of our common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $12,000. Any shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and the 424(b) prospectus supplement relating to the offering dated September 12, 2022. We will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued 100,379 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds (before upfront costs) to us from the sale of our common stock were approximately $323 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $9. No shares of the Company’s common stock were issued under the Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, shares of our common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.

We anticipate that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, proceeds from the sale of securities under the Sales Agreement and any potential proceeds from the sale of further securities under the Form S-3 will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

21

If assumptions regarding our production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of our large customers, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management’s expectations, we may encounter cash flow and liquidity issues.

​

If our operational performance deteriorates, we may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit our operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any attempt to raise equity through the public markets could have a negative effect on our stock price, making an equity raise more difficult or more dilutive. Any additional equity financing or equity linked financing, if available, will be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other operating and financial restrictions on us. While we believe that we will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate our businesses and to meet our financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that our operations will generate sufficient cash or that existing or new credit facilities or equity or equity linked financings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet these financial obligations.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Total cash (used in) provided by: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | (25,984 | ) |  | $ | (6,005 | )
Investing activities |  |  | (1,065 | ) |  |  | (492 | )
Financing activities |  |  | 16,046 |  |  |  | 6,418 |
Net decrease in cash |  | $ | (11,003 | ) |  | $ | (79 | )

Operating Cash Flows

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities totaled $25,984 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6,005 during the prior year period. The increase in net cash used during the current year period was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory, combined with a decrease in customer deposits, as expected and consistent with the updated terms with a major customer. Increases in accounts receivable and inventory were also driven by increased production levels when compared to the prior year period.

Investing Cash Flows

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,065, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $492 during the prior year period. The increase in net cash used in investing activities as compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Cash Flows

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $16,046, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6,418 during the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased net borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility in the current year period.

In addition, we have outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $1,060 and $1,094 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with $62 and $88 included in the “Line of Credit and current portion of long-term debt” line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $3 to $16 and an interest rate of approximately 5%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable mature in September 2028.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The preceding discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Portions of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the discussion and analysis in this Part I, Item 2, contain “forward looking statements”, as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), that reflect our current expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 13, “Legal Proceedings And Other Matters” of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

The Risk Factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 continue to represent the most significant risks to the Company’s future results of operations and financial conditions, except as set forth below.

The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by tax and other economic incentives. A significant change in these incentives could significantly impact our business, results of operations, financial performance and future development efforts and growth.

We sell towers to wind turbine manufacturers who supply wind energy generation facilities. The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by federal tax incentives and state Renewable Portfolio Standards (“RPSs”). Despite recent reductions in the cost of wind energy, due to variability in wind quality and consistency, and other regional differences, wind energy may not be economically viable in certain parts of the country absent such incentives. These programs have provided material incentives to develop wind energy generation facilities and thereby impact the demand for our products. The increased demand for our products that generally results from the credits and incentives could be impacted by the expiration or curtailment of these programs.

One such federal government program, the production tax credit (“PTC”), provides a supplemental payment based on electricity produced from each qualifying wind turbine. Legislative support for the PTC has been intermittent since its introduction in 1992, which has caused volatility in the demand for new wind energy projects. In 2015, the PTC was extended for a five-year period, with a time-based phase-out depending on the year the wind project is commenced. The phase-out schedule legislated in 2015 provided for: 100% extension of the credit for projects commenced before the end of 2016, 80% extension of the credit for projects commenced in 2017, 60% extension of the credit for projects commenced in 2018 and 40% extension of the credit for projects commenced in 2019. As part of a year-end tax extenders bill in 2019, the PTC was extended for an additional year, allowing for a 60% extension of the credit for projects commenced before the end of 2020.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“COVID IV”) was signed into law. As part of COVID IV, the PTC was extended for an additional year, allowing for a 60% credit for projects that start construction by the end of 2021. In order to benefit from the PTC, qualifying projects must either be completed within four years from their start of construction, or the developer must demonstrate that its projects are in continuous construction between start of construction and completion. As a result of COVID IV, the PTC will subsidize wind projects commenced as late as 2021 and completed by 2025, or later if continuous construction can be demonstrated. The PTC tax benefits are available for the first ten years of operation of a wind energy facility, and also applies to significant redevelopment of existing wind energy facilities. Included in COVID IV is the addition of a new 30% ITC created for offshore wind projects that start construction by the end of 2025. The provision will be retroactively applied to projects that started production in 2016.

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. The IRA modifies and extends the PTC until the later of 2032 or when greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by 75% compared to 2022. It provides for tax credits up to a maximum of 30%, adjusted for inflation annually, for electricity generated from qualified renewable energy sources where taxpayers meet prevailing wage standards and employ a sufficient proportion of qualified apprentices from registered apprenticeship programs. It also provides a bonus credit for qualifying clean energy production in energy communities.

The IRA also includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind and solar components (“AMP credits”). Manufacturers qualify for the AMP credits based on the electricity output for each component produced and sold in the U.S. starting in 2023 through 2032. The credit amount varies based on the eligible component, which includes solar components, wind energy components, inverters, qualifying battery components, and critical minerals. Tower manufacturers are eligible for credits of $0.03 per watt for applicable components produced. Manufacturers can apply to the Internal Revenue Service for cash refunds of the AMP credits for up to five years. After the first five years, the AMP credits are transferable and can be sold to third parties for cash. There are currently several critical and complex aspects of the IRA pending technical guidance and regulations from the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. Any modifications to the law or its effects arising, for example, through technical guidance and regulations from the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department could result in changes to the expected and/or actual benefits in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial performance and future development efforts.

RPSs generally require or encourage state regulated electric utilities to supply a certain proportion of electricity from renewable energy sources or to devote a certain portion of their plant capacity to renewable energy generation. Typically, utilities comply with such standards by qualifying for renewable energy credits evidencing the share of electricity that was produced from renewable sources. Under many state standards, these renewable energy credits can be unbundled from their associated energy and traded in a market system, allowing generators with insufficient credits to meet their applicable state mandate. These standards have spurred significant growth in the wind energy industry and a corresponding increase in the demand for our products. Currently, the majority of states have RPSs in place and certain states have voluntary utility commitments to supply a specific percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. The enactment of RPSs in additional states or any changes to existing RPSs (including changes due to the failure to extend or renew the federal incentives described above), or the enactment of a federal RPS or imposition of other greenhouse gas regulations, may impact the demand for our products. We cannot assure that government support for renewable energy will continue. The elimination of, or reduction in, state or federal government policies that support renewable energy could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial performance and future development efforts.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere, inadequate access to capital and global economic instability could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are exposed to fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The United States and other jurisdictions have recently experienced high levels of inflation. If the inflation rate continues to increase, it will likely affect our expenses, including, but not limited to, employee compensation and labor expenses and increased costs for supplies, and we may not be successful in offsetting such cost increases. In addition, historically we have carried a significant amount of variable rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Recent increases in interest rates will result in increased interest expense to the extent we cannot limit our debt balances. Further, recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failure, could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The recent closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Although the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly released a statement that depositors at Silicon Valley Band and Signature Bank would have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits, future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages. The failure of any bank with which we do business or with which our customers do business could reduce the amount of cash we have available for our operations or delay our ability to access such funds. Any such failure may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. In the event we have a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, we may experience delays or other issues in meeting our financial obligations. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability and our customers’ ability to access our cash and cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition or results of operations.
