Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 51% of the Company’s revenue during the first nine months of both 2023 and 2022. 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 September 30, 2023 totaled $31,564, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $21,374. The Company’s outstanding debt includes $18,518 outstanding from the senior secured revolving credit facility under the 2022 Credit Facility. The Company had $6,405 drawn on the senior secured term loan as of September 30, 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. On September 22, 2023, 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 12, 2023 (the “Form S-3”), replacing a prior shelf registration statement which expired 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement. Any additional shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and a 424(b) prospectus supplement. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold account receivables totaling $12,084 and $31,081, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $334 and $649, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold account receivables totaling $30,662 and $77,099, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $615 and $1,110, respectively. In January 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a supply agreement for wind tower purchases valued at approximately $175 million with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer. Under the terms of the supply agreement, order fulfillment is to occur beginning in 2023 through year-end 2024. In early November 2023, the parties discussed their joint intent to shift approximately half of the contracted tower section orders initially planned for 2024 into 2025, while maintaining the total number of tower sections stipulated under the supply agreement. 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, the Company’s ability to finalize the terms of the remaining obligations under a supply agreement from a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, 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 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.

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 September 30, 2023 totaled $31,564, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $21,374. The Company’s outstanding debt includes $18,518 outstanding from the senior secured revolving credit facility under the 2022 Credit Facility.

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.

On September 22, 2023, 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 12, 2023 (the “Form S-3”), replacing a prior shelf registration statement which expired 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement. Any additional shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and a 424(b) prospectus supplement.

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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold account receivables totaling $12,084 and $31,081, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $334 and $649, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold account receivables totaling $30,662 and $77,099, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $615 and $1,110, respectively.

In January 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a supply agreement for wind tower purchases valued at approximately $175 million with a leading global wind turbine manufacturer.

If assumptions regarding the Company’s production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company’s large customers, the Company’s ability to finalize the terms of the remaining obligations under a supply agreement from a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, 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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts 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.
