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 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, 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 March 9, 2021, the Company entered into a $10,000 Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company issued 1,897,697 shares of the Company’s common stock thereunder during the sixfirst months ended June 30, two quarters of 2021. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of such shares were approximately $9,725 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $275 and before deducting other expenses of $376.$411. 

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.  The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC. The ERC is available for wages paid through December 31, September 30,2021and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. During each quarter of 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee is eligible for the ERC. Therefore, theThe maximum tax credit that cancould be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 iswas $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In the first quarterand second quarters of 2021, the Company received an ERC benefitbenefits of $3,372 and $3,593, respectively, which waswere recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company also qualifieddid not qualify for the ERC inbenefit during the secondthird quarter of 2021 because it had a gross receipts decrease of more thandue to relatively higher revenues in 20%2021 foras compared to the firstthird quarter of 20212019. compared to the first quarter of 2019, the relevant criteria for the ERC. As a result of the Company averaging 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, all wages paid to employees were eligible for the ERC (rather than only wages paid to employees not providing services). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $3,593 in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company used $1,879 of this amount to reduce payroll tax payments. The receivable for the remaining uncollected ERC benefit was $1,714$497 as of June 30,December 31, 2021 and iswas included in the line titled “Employee retention credit receivable” line item in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at JuneDecember 30,31, 2021. The remaining $497 for the uncollected ERC benefit was collected during January 2022.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold account receivables totaling $30,133and $45,493, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $414 and $490, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold account receivables totaling $32,694 and $54,011, respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $79 and $133, respectively.

 

The Company anticipates that current cash resources, expected cash proceeds or savings from the ERC, amounts available under the2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, 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, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging variants and its effects on domestic and global economies, 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 theits 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.

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, and health insurance reserves.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, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

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.

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.

 

Within the Gearing segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $975and $1,532for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, 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. Since the Company's projects are labor intensive, the Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the applicable contracts. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company ceased recording revenue over time within the Gearing segment due to a change in terms. During the six months ended June 30, 30,2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a portion of revenue within the Gearing and Heavy Fabrications segmentssegment 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. SinceWithin the projects are labor intensive,Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company uses labor hours as the input measurerecognized revenue over time of progress$4,182 and $7,409 for the applicable contracts.three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $1,276 and $2,429 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Within the Gearing segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $975 and $1,532 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. 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 did not recognize any revenue over time during the three and six months ended June 30,2020.

 

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.

Credit Facility

 

On October 26, 2016, the Company established a three-year secured revolving line of credit with CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). This line of credit has been amended from time to time. On February 25, 2019, the line of credit was expanded and extended for three years when the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “2016 Amended“Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”), with CIBC as administrative agent and sole lead arranger and the other financial institutions party thereto, providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 secured credit facility (as amended to date, the “Credit“2016 Credit Facility”).

As of September 30, 2021, the Company transitioned back to a fixed charge coverage covenant.

On November 8, 2021, the Company executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) which waived the fixed charge coverage ratio default for lettersthe quarter ended September 30, 2021, suspended testing of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through September 30, 2022, added a minimum EBITDA covenant applicable to the three-month period ending December 31, 2021, the six-month period ending March 31, 2022, the nine-month period ending June 30, 2022 and the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2022 and added a reserve of $5,000 to the revolving loan availability through December 31, 2022. 

On February 28, 2022, the Company executed the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) which reduced the line of credit of $10 million.

The2016 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties applicable to the Company and itsthe subsidiaries. It also contains a requirement that the Company, on a consolidated basis, maintain a minimum quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio, along with other customary restrictive covenants, certain of which are subject to materiality thresholds, baskets and customary exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30,2021.

On February 23,2021, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the 2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, which waived testing of the fixed charge coverage covenant for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, added a new liquidity covenant applicable to the quarter ending March 31, 2021, and new minimum EBITDA covenants applicable to the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30 2021.

In conjunction with the2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, during June 2019, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap with CIBC. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $6,000 and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on LIBOR borrowings for the entire original term of the2016 Credit Facility at 2.13%, before considering the Company’s risk premium. The interest rate swap is accounted for using mark-to-market accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, which may subject the Company’s results of operations to non-cash volatility. The interest rate swap liability is included in the “Accrued liabilities” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30,December 31, 2021. The interest rate swap expired in February 2022. 

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “ Wells Fargo 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”).

All obligations outstanding under the 2016 Credit Facility were refinanced by the 2022 Credit Facility on August 5, 2022.

The 2022 Credit Facility 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.  In addition, the 2022 Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility) (i) as of the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 20202023 .of 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) as of each twelve-month period thereafter to be greater than 1.1 to 1.0 and minimum EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility) on a month-end basis of $0 for the six month period ending June 30, 2022, $1,500 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, $2,500 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022, $3,600 for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2023, and $5,100 for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2023. The initial term of the revolving credit facility matures August 4, 2027 and the term loan also matures on August 4, 2027, with monthly payments based on an 84-month amortization.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest at the following rates depending on the classification of the borrowing:

• term loan - Daily Simple SOFR (a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate published by the SOFR administrator on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor source), plus an applicable margin of 2.50%; and

• revolving credit loan - Daily Simple SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 2.00% to 2.50% depending on the excess availability on the revolving loan facility.

The 2022 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default including, without limitation, non-payment of obligations, non-performance of covenants and obligations, material judgments, bankruptcy or insolvency, change of control, breaches of representations and warranties, limitation or termination of any guarantee with respect to the 2022 Credit Agreement or unenforceability of documentation related to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company is allowed to prepay in whole or in part advances under the 2022 Credit Facility without penalty or premium.

The obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement are secured by, subject to certain exclusions, (i) a first priority security interest in all accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, money and investment property, and (ii) a deed of trust, assignment of leases and rents and security agreement and fixture filing on the Abilene, Texas facility.

NOTE 8 — LEASES

 

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment. On January 1, 2019, the Company adoptedThe leases are accounted for under Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) and ASU 2018-11 using the cumulative effect method and hasCompany elected to apply each available practical expedient. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the Company recognizing operating lease liabilities totaling $19,508 with a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $17,613 based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases. The variance between the ROU asset balance and the lease liability is a deferred rent liability that existed prior to the adoption of Topic 842 and was offset against the ROU asset balance during the adoption. The discount rates used for the leases accounted for under ASC 842 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,, the Company had an additional operating leaseleases that resulted in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $907.$0 and $907, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company had additional finance leases that resulted in property, plant, and equipment obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $1,896$1,773 and $1,918,$1,896, 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 9 — 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

 

The Company entered into an interest rate swap in June 2019 to mitigate the exposure to the variability of LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is reported in “Accrued liabilities” and the change in fair value is reported in “Interest expense, net” of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based on forward interest rates at the balance sheet date. The interest rate swap expired in February 2022. 

 

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 following tables represent the fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021:

NOTE 10 — 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 June 30, 20212022, the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the six months ended June 30, 20212022, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $77,$22, compared to a provision for income taxes of $83$77 during the six months ended June 30, 20202021

 

The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of June 30, 20212022, 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, 20202021, the Company had federal and unapportioned state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $260,598$277,310 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 IRC 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  IRC Section 382 of the IRC in 2010, the Company determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership have 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 and extended in February 2016 and again in February 2019 (asapproved by the Company’s stockholders (as amended, the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is, designed to preserve the Company’s substantial tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under IRC Section 382.382 Theof the IRC. On February 7, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment toextending the Rights Plan for an additional three years, which was most recentlysubsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and has a termheld on April 23, 2019. On February 3, 2022, the Board approved an amendment which included an extension of the Rights Plan for an additional three years.years, which was subsequently approved at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 26, 2022. 

 

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 1 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 $4.25$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 June 30, 20212022, the Company had 0 unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company had 0 accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 20212022.

NOTE 12 — 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.

 

 

NOTE 13 — 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.

NOTE 15 — 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 

 

Based upon past experience and judgment, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable. The Company’s standard allowance estimation methodology considers a number of factors that, based on its collections experience, the Company believes will have an impact on its credit risk and the collectability of its accounts receivable. These factors include individual customer circumstances, history with the Company, the length of the time period during which the account receivable has 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 six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 consisted of the following:

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 as of June 30, 20212022 or December 31, 2020.2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report 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, 2020.2021. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances including, but not limited to, those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of Item 2. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties including those arising as a result of, or amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Broadwind, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, and its subsidiaries, as appropriate.

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.

(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, and other non-cash gains and losses) as supplemental information regarding our business performance. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA when they internally evaluate the performance of our business, review financial trends and make 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)

Total debt at June 30, 2020 includes PPP Loans totaling $9,151.

(5)

Our backlog at June 30, 2022 and 2021 is net of revenue recognized over time. 

 

(6)(5)

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

We recorded a net loss of $2,703 or $0.13 per share in the second quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $10,252 or $0.55 per share in the second quarter of 2021 compared to net income of $529 or $0.03 per share in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the absence of $3,593 of other income ofrelated to the employee retention credit recorded under the CARES Act and the $9,151 recognized fromas a result of forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan forgiveness and a $3,593 ERC benefit (described below). Bothduring the second quarter of these items were recognized in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This income was partially offset by the volume related decrease discussed above. 

 

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including the Employee Retention Creditan employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.  The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC. The ERC is available for wages paid through December 31,September 30, 2021 and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. During each quarter of 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee is eligible for the ERC. Therefore, theThe maximum tax credit that cancould be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 iswas $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In addition to qualifying in the first quarter, we also qualified for the ERC in theand second quarter of 2021 because we had a gross receipts decrease of more than 20% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2019, the relevant criteria for the ERC. As a result of us averaging 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, all wages paid to employees were eligible for the ERC (rather than only wages paid to employees not providing services). In the first quarterquarters of 2021, we received an ERC benefitbenefits of $3,372 and $3,593, respectively, which waswere recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the second quarter of June 30, 2021, we recorded an additional benefit of $3,593 in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We used $1,879 of this amount to reduce payroll tax payments. The remaining receivabledid not qualify for the ERC benefit is $1,714during the third quarter of 2021 due to relatively higher revenues in 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The receivable for the remaining uncollected ERC benefit was $497 as of June 30,December 31, 2021 and iswas included in the line titled “Employee retention credit receivable” line item in ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30,December 31, 2021. The remaining of $497 for the uncollected ERC benefit was collected during January 2022.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. In response to thisThe COVID-19 pandemic the United Stateshas disrupted business, trade, commerce and various foreign, state and local governments have, among other actions, imposed travel and business restrictions and required or advised communities in which we do business to adopt stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. The pandemic and the various governments’ response have caused significant and widespread uncertainty, volatility and disruptionsfinancial markets in the U.S. and global economies, including in the regions in which we operate. 

Overall, throughglobally. Through June 30, 2021,2022, we have experienced an adverse impact to our business, operations and financial results as a result of thisthe COVID-19 pandemic due in part to a decline in order activity levels, manufacturing inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions and employee staffing constraints due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our facilities continued to operate as essential businesses in light of the customers and markets served. In response to the pandemic, we continue to right-size our workforce and delay certain capital expenditures. In future periods, we may experience weaker customer demand, requests for extended payment terms, customer bankruptcies, additional supply chain disruption, employee staffing constraints and difficulties, government restrictions or other factors that could negatively impact the Company and its business, operations and financial results. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic, including in light of the emerging variants, or its impact on economic and financial markets, any negative impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but it could be material.

 

We continue to monitor closely the Company’s financial health and liquidity and the impact of the pandemic on the Company, including emerging variants. We have been able to serve the needs of our customers while taking steps to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners, and communities. Among these steps, we have followedfollow the guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect the continued safety and welfare of our employees.Prevention.

Consolidated 

 

Revenues decreasedincreased by $24,341$12,637 versus the prior year.  Gearing segment revenue was up 62% from the first half of 2021, primarily driven by strong recent order intake from O&G and mining customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue. Heavy Fabrications segment revenues increased by 7% as lower tower demand was more than offset by a 105% increase in industrial fabrications product line revenue attributable to higher recent order intake from industrial customers and revenue recognized on our PRS units. Industrial Solutions segment revenue increased by 12%, primarily due to the timing of new gas turbine customer and aftermarket projects.

Gross profit increased by $1,926 when compared to the prior year primarily due to higher sales volumes in the Gearing segment, partially offset by higher material costs, ramp-up costs, and increased fixed costs to support volumes. As a result, gross margin increased to 4.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a 25% decrease intower sections sold due to customer driven project delays and a lower average selling price due to the mix of tower designs sold. The industrialfabrications product line, within the Heavy Fabrications segment, was adversely impactedby lower order intake in recent quarters. Gearing revenue was down $3962022, from the first half of 2020, primarily driven by lower order intake in the second half of the prior year, from industrial and mining customers, partially offset by increased revenue from O&G and aftermarket wind. Industrial Solutions revenue decreased $290 from the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing a 3% decrease, primarily due to the timing of aftermarket customer installations and global logistics delays.

Gross profit decreased by $9,109 from the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower sales and manufacturing inefficiencies caused by supply chain disruptions, a temporary shut-down of our Abilene, Texas plant due to a weather event in the first quarter and increased manufacturing variances within our Gearing segment.As a result, gross margin decreased to 3.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2021,2021.

Due to higher revenue levels, lower legal expenses, and reduced salaries and benefits, operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.1% in the current-year from 11.2%11.5% in the prior year.

Net loss was $5,107 during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Due2022, compared to lower revenue levels, operating expenses as a percentagenet income of sales increased to 11.5% in the current year from 8.6% in the prior year period.

Net income was $9,042during the six months ended June 30, 2021 comparedprimarily due to $1,482 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to incomefactors described above and the absence of the $6,965 ERC benefit and the $9,151 recognized fromPPP loan forgiveness recorded in the PPP Loan forgiveness and income of $6,965recognized from the ERC benefit.

Gearing segment ordersincreased 10%29% from the six months ended June 30, 2020prior year period primarily due to increased demand from O&G and industrial customers. Gearing revenue was up 62% relative to the comparable prior year period due to higher order intake in recent quarters from O&G and mining customers, partially offset by the timing ofa decrease in aftermarket wind gearing orders, which can fluctuate based on customer order patterns and market conditions. Gearing revenue was down 3% compared to the prior year, a reflection of lower order intake in the second half of the prior year, primarily within industrial and mining markets, partially offset by increased revenue from O&G and aftermarket wind customers.revenue.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

 

As of June 30, 2021,2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4,757, an increase$49, a decrease of $1,385$803 from December 31, 2020.2021. Cash balances remain limited in the second quarter as operating receipts and disbursements flowflowed through our 2016 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements), which iswas in a drawn position.position as of June 30, 2022. Debt and finance lease obligations at June 30, 20212022 totaled $11,079.$22,975. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $18,928$10,178 under the 2016 Credit Facility. In addition to the 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 March 9, 2021, we entered into a $10,000 Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC (the Manager”“Manager”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we issued 1,897,697 shares of the Company's common stock thereunder during the six month period ended June 30,first two quarters of 2021. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sales of such shares were approximately $9,725 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $275 and before deducting other expense of $376. $411. 

On February 28, 2022, we executed the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) which reduced the line of credit from $35,000 to $30,000, extended the maturity date until January 31, 2024, waived the minimum EBITDA covenant for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, revised the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as of December 31, 2022 for the trailing nine-month period after March 31, 2022, revised the minimum EBITDA covenant applicable to the three-month period ending March 31, 2022, the six-month period ending June 30, 2022 and the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, revised the existing liquidity reserve to $2,500 and amended certain other provisions in connection with the discontinuation of LIBOR and replacement with the forward-looking term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) administered by CME Group, Inc.

On August 4, 2022, we executed the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), providing us with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon our request 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. The 2022 Credit Facility replaces the 2016 Credit Facility. All obligations outstanding under the 2016 Credit Facility were refinanced by the 2022 Credit Facility on August 5, 2022. For more information on the 2022 Credit Facility, please see Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreement” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We anticipate that current cash resources, expected cash proceeds or savings from the ERC, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, 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.

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, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and emerging variants, and its effects on domestic and global economies, 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, net cash used in investing activities totaled $742,$1,697, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $929$742 during the prior year period. The decreaseincrease in net cash used in investing activities as compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to a decreasean increase in net purchases of property and equipment.

The increase versus the prior-year perioddecrease was primarily due to the absence of proceeds from the sale of securities under the Equity Distribution Agreement received in the current year and increased net borrowings under our Credit Facility in the current year, partially offset by increased net borrowings under our 2016 Credit Facility in the PPP Loan (defined below) proceeds received in 2020.

In 2016, we entered into a $570 loan agreement with the Development Corporation of Abilene which is included in the “Long-term debt, lessnet of current maturities” line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The loan is forgivable upon the Company meeting and maintaining specific employment thresholds. During each of the years 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, $114 of the loan was forgiven. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the loan balance was $228.$114. In addition, we have outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $392$714 and $163$363 as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, with $392$27 and $161$186 included in the “Line of Credit and other notes payable” line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020, respectively.2021. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $1$3 to $7$16 and an interest rate of approximately8% 4%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable have maturity dates that range from March 2022to August 2024.

On April 15, 2020, we received funds under notes and related documents executed under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loans”) with CIBC Bank, USA under the PPP which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020mature in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). We received total proceeds of $9,530 from the PPP Loans and made repayments of $379 on May 13, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 enacted on June 5, 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”), the PPP Loans, and accrued interest and fees may be forgiven following a period of twenty-four weeks after PPP Loan proceeds are received (the “covered period”) if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act including payroll costs and benefits (which must equal or exceed 60% of the amount requested to be forgiven), rent, mortgage interest, and utilities, which are subject to certain reductions based on the number of full time equivalent employees and the level of compensation for employees during such covered period. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or significantly reduces salaries during such period, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP, as amended by the Flexibility Act, the unforgiven portion of a PPP Loan is payable over a two year period at an interest rate of 1.00%, with a deferral of payments of principal, interest and fees until the date on which the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to the lender (or notifies the lender that no loan forgiveness is allowed), provided that the borrower applies for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period (and if not, payment of principal and interest shall commence 10 months after the last day of the covered period). We used at least 60% of the amount of the PPP Loans proceeds to pay for payroll costs and the balance on other eligible qualifying expenses consistent with the terms of the PPP and submitted our forgiveness applications to CIBC Bank, USA during the first quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, all loans were forgiven by the SBA and a gain of $9,151 was recorded in Other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. September 2028.

 

The CARES Act also provided for the ERC,  which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.  The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC. The ERC is available for wages paid through December 31,September 30, 2021 and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. During each quarter in 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee is eligible for the ERC. Therefore, theThe maximum tax credit that cancould be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 iswas $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In addition to qualifying in the first quarter, we qualified for the ERC in theand second quarter of 2021 because we had a gross receipts decrease of more than 20% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2019, the relevant criteria for the ERC. As a result of us averaging 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, all wages paid to employees were eligible for the ERC (rather than only wages paid to employees not providing services). In the first quarterquarters of 2021, we received an ERC benefitbenefits of $3,372 and $3,593, respectively, which waswere recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. DuringWe did not qualify for the secondERC benefit during the third quarter of June 30, 2021 we recorded an additional benefitdue to relatively higher revenues in 2021 as compared to the third quarter of $3,593 in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
