BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017MARCH 31, 2024



NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


These interim financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("(“B&W," "we," "us," "our"” “management,” “we,” “us,” “our” or "the Company"the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesGAAP and Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with ourthe Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“Annual Report”). Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items2023. The Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in our Annual Report. We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We present the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statementspresented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all estimates and adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, required to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full-year ending December 31, 2024.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Non-controlling interests are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (non-controlling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in non-controlling interests are reported as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and non-controlling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We have recurring operating losses primarily due to losses recognized on our B&W Solar business as described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2024 as well as higher debt service costs. Our assessment of our ability to fund future operations is inherently subjective, judgment-based and susceptible to change based on future events. Currently, with existing cash on hand and available liquidity, we are projecting insufficient liquidity to fund operations through one year following the date that this Quarterly Report is issued. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In response to the conditions, we are implementing several strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations and are considering other alternative measures to improve cash flow, including suspension of the dividend on our Preferred Stock. The following actions occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

entered into advanced negotiations related to the sale of one of our non-strategic businesses. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $40.0 million to $46.0 million, subject to due diligence and continuing negotiations. We cannot provide any assurances that such transaction will close or that proceeds will not be more or less than we anticipate;
initiated the process to sell certain of our other non-strategic businesses;
filed for a waiver of required minimum contributions to the Retirement Plan for Employees of Babcock & Wilcox Commercial Operations (the "U.S. Plan"), that if granted, would reduce cash funding requirements in 2024 and would increase contributions annually over the subsequent five-year period. We cannot provide any assurances that such waiver will be granted;
initiated the process to sell several non-core real estate assets;
11


initiated the sale of common shares pursuant to our At-The-Market Offering; and
negotiated the settlement of a liability to the former owner of B&W Solar at a discount, resulting in future cash savings of $7.2 million.

Based on our ability to raise funds through the actions noted above and our Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024, we have concluded it is probable that such actions would provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. As a result, it is probable that our cash flow improvement plans and anticipated proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Operations

Our operations are assessed based on three reportable market-facing segments consistent with our strategic initiative to accelerate growth and provide stakeholders improved visibility into our renewable and environmental growth platforms. Our reportable segments are as follows:

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable: Technologies for efficient and environmentally sustainable power and heat generation, including waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy and black liquor systems for the pulp and paper industry. Our technologies support a circular economy, diverting waste from landfills to use for power generation and replacing fossil fuels, while recovering metals and reducing emissions.
Babcock & Wilcox Environmental: A full suite of emissions control and environmental technology solutions for utility, waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy, carbon black, and industrial steam generation applications around the world. Our broad experience includes systems for cooling, ash handling, particulate control, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides removal, chemical looping for carbon control, and mercury control.
Babcock & Wilcox Thermal: Steam generation equipment, aftermarket parts, construction, maintenance and field services for plants in the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. We have an extensive global base of installed equipment for utilities and general industrial applications including refining, petrochemical, food processing, metals and others.

For financial information about our segments see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 - ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter endedof 2023, we committed to a plan to sell our B&W Solar business resulting in a significant change that would impact our operations. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we excluded 2.3 million sharesmet all of the criteria for the assets and liabilities of this business, formerly part of our B&W Renewable segment, to be accounted for as held for sale. In addition, we also determined that the operations of the B&W Solar business qualified as a discontinued operation, primarily based upon its significance to our current and historic operating losses.

We continued to meet the criteria to account for the B&W Solar business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of March 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the disposal group included in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Contracts

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, seven contracts were terminated, resulting in gross profit of $1.2 million. There were no new loss contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, one B&W Solar project became a loss contract, and the related loss was immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Contract Estimates

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 B&W Solar recognized changes in estimated gross profit related to stock options because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.long-term contracts accounted for on the over time basis, which are summarized below:

Backlog

B&W Solar backlog was $72.4 million and $99.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by contract terminations of $17.0 million and revenue recognized of $11.4 million, partially offset by new bookings during the quarter. We expect to recognize substantially all of the remaining performance obligations as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 5 – REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS

Revenue Recognition

We generate the vast majority of our revenues from the supply of, and aftermarket services for, steam-generating, environmental and auxiliary equipment for power generation and other industrial applications.
Renewable segment: focused onequipment. We also earn revenue from the supply of steam-generatingcustom-engineered cooling systems environmentalfor steam applications and auxiliary equipmentrelated aftermarket services.

A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services, accounted for 22% and 17% of revenue for the waste-to-energythree months ended March 31, 2024 and biomass power generation industries.2023, respectively. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services, accounted for 78% and 83% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Refer to Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disaggregation of revenue.

Industrial segment: focused on custom-engineered cooling, environmental and other industrial equipment along with related aftermarket services.

During the first half of 2017, we announced our plan to reclassify the Industrial Steam product line currently includedContracts in our Power segment to the Industrial segment beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2017. We have indefinitely postponed that reorganization. As of September 30, 2017, the Industrial Steam product line remains in the Power segment for all periods presented.

NOTE 4 – UNIVERSAL ACQUISITION

On January 11, 2017, we acquired Universal Acoustic & Emission Technologies, Inc. ("Universal") for approximately $52.5 million in cash, funded primarily by borrowings under our United States revolving credit facility, net of $4.4 million cash acquired in the business combination.

Backlog

At March 31, 2024 we had $650.4 million of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as total backlog. We expect to recognize approximately $0.2 million. We accounted for the Universal acquisition using the acquisition method, whereby all64%, 17% and 19% of the assets acquiredremaining performance obligations as revenue in 2024, 2025 and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excessthereafter, respectively.

Changes in Contract Estimates

During each of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. In order to purchase Universal on January 11, 2017, we borrowed approximately $55.0 million under the United States revolving credit facility in 2017.

Universal provides custom-engineered acoustic, emission and filtration solutions to the natural gas power generation, mid-stream natural gas pipeline, locomotive and general industrial end-markets. Universal's product offering includes gas turbine inlet and exhaust systems, silencers, filters and enclosures. At the acquisition date, Universal employed approximately 460 people, mainly in the United States and Mexico. During 2017, we integrated Universal with our Industrial segment. Universal contributed $16.0 million and $49.8 million of revenue to our operating results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Universal contributed $3.2 millionMarch 31, 2024 and $10.0 million of gross profit (excluding intangible asset amortization expense of $0.5 million and $2.6 million) to our operating results in the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2017, respectively. We expect Universal to contribute over $70.0 million of revenue and be accretive to the Industrial segment's gross profit during 2017.

The allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is set forth below. We are in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation associated with the valuation of certain intangible assets and deferred tax balances; as a result, the provisional measurements of intangible assets, goodwill and deferred income tax balances are subject to change. Purchase price adjustments are expected to be finalized by December 31, 2017.

Elimination of $2.1 million in transaction related costs recognized in the 12 months ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 5 – CONTRACTS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

We generally recognize revenues and related costs from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis. Accordingly, we review contract price and cost estimates regularly as work progresses and reflect adjustments in profit proportionate to the percentage of completion in the periods in which we revise estimates to complete the contract. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction of previously reported profits from a project, we recognize a charge against current earnings. If a contract is estimated to result in a loss, that loss is recognized in the current period as a charge to earnings and the full loss is accrued on our balance sheet, which results in no expected gross profit from the loss contract in the future unless there are revisions to our estimated revenues or costs at completion in periods following the accrual of the contract loss. Changes in the estimated results of our percentage-of-completion contracts are necessarily based on information available at the time that the estimates are made and are based on judgments that are inherently uncertain as they are predictive in nature. As with all estimates to complete used to measure contract revenue and costs, actual results can and do differ from our estimates made over time.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2023, we recognized changes in estimated gross profit related to long-term contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completionover time basis, which are summarized as follows:

As disclosed in our December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements, we had four renewable energy projects in Europe that were loss contracts at December 31, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, two additional renewable energy projects in Europe became loss contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a total of $11.6 million and $123.8 million, respectively, in net losses resulting from changes in the estimated revenues and costs to complete these six European renewable energy loss contracts. These changes in estimates include an increase in our estimate of liquidated damages associated with these six projects of $13.2 million and $22.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to a total of $62.8 million at September 30, 2017. The charges recorded in the nine months

10




ended September 30, 2017 were due to revisions in the estimated revenues and costs at completion during the period, primarily as a result of structural steel design issues including the anticipated schedule impact, scheduling delays and shortcomings in our subcontractors' estimated productivity. Also included in the charges recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were corrections that reduced (increased) estimated contract losses at completion by $1.0 million, $(6.0) million and $1.1 million relating to the three months ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Management has determined these amounts are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements in these previous periods. As of September 30, 2017, the status of these six loss contracts was as follows:

The first project became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2017, this project is approximately 97% complete and construction activities are complete as of the date of this report. The unit became operational during the second quarter of 2017, and turnover activities linked to the customer's operation of the facility are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized additional contract losses of $4.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively, on the project as a result of differences in actual and estimated costs and schedule delays. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $9.4 million of total expected liquidated damages. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $2.3 million. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized charges of $14.0 million and $45.7 million, respectively, and as of September 30, 2016, this project had $7.8 million of accrued losses and was 79% complete.

The second project became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2017, this contract was approximately 75% complete, and we expect this project to be completed in early 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized contract gains of $2.0 million and contract losses of $35.4 million, respectively, on this project as a result of changes in construction cost estimates and schedule delays. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $15.5 million of total expected liquidated damages. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $13.6 million.

The third project became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2017, this contract was approximately 95% complete and construction activities are complete as of the date of this report. The unit became operational during the second quarter of 2017, and turnover activities linked to the customer's operation of the facility are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized additional contract losses of $1.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, as a result of changes in the estimated costs at completion. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $6.7 million of total expected liquidated damages for schedule delays. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $1.7 million.

The fourth project became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2017, this contract was approximately 77% complete, and we expect this project to be completed in early 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we revised our estimated revenue and costs at completion for this loss contract, which resulted in contract gains of $4.5 million and contract losses of $17.4 million, respectively. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $8.9 million of total expected liquidated damages due to schedule delays. The changes in the status of this project were primarily attributable to changes in the estimated costs at completion, offset by a $4.8 million reduction in estimated liquidated damages we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $5.2 million.

The fifth project became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2017, this contract was approximately 60% complete, and we expect this project to be completed in the second half of 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we revised our estimated revenue and costs at completion for this loss contract, which resulted in additional contract losses of $12.0 million and $35.3 million, respectively. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $17.9 million of total expected liquidated damages due to schedule delays. The change in the status of this project was primarily attributable to changes in the estimated costs at completion and schedule delays. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $14.3 million.

The sixth project became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2017, this contract was approximately 68% complete, and we expect this project to be completed in the first half of 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we revised our estimated revenue and costs at completion for this loss contract, which resulted in additional contract losses of $18.5 million. We had no significant change in estimate on this loss contract during the

11




three months ended September 30, 2017. Our estimate at completion as of September 30, 2017 includes $4.3 million of total expected liquidated damages due to schedule delays. The change in the status of this project was primarily attributable to changes in the estimated costs at completion and schedule delays. As of September 30, 2017, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in "other accrued liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheet was $3.3 million.

In September 2017, we identified the failure of a structural steel beam on the fifth project, which temporarily stopped work in the boiler building pending corrective actions to stabilize the structure that are expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2017. The engineering, design and manufacturing of the steel structure were the responsibility of our subcontractors. A similar design was also used on the second and fourth projects, and although no structural failure occurred on these two other projects, work was also stopped for a short period of time, and reinforcement of the structure is underway. The costs related to these structural steel issues are estimated to be approximately $20 million, which include the impact of project delays, and is included in the September 30, 2017 estimated losses at completion for these three projects as disclosed in the preceding paragraphs.

Also in the three months ended September 30, 2017, we adjusted the design of three of these renewable facilities to increase the guaranteed power output, which will allow us to achieve contractual bonus opportunities for the higher output. The bonus opportunities increased the estimated selling price of the three contracts by approximately $15 million in total, and this positive change in estimated cost to complete was fully recognized in the third quarter of 2017 because each of these three were loss projects.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a net loss of $2.3 million on our other renewable energy projects that are not loss contracts, and we expect them to remain profitable at completion.

During the third quarter of 2016, we determined it was probable that we would receive a $15.0 million insurance recovery for a portion of the losses on the first European renewable energy project discussed above. There was no change in the accrued probable insurance recovery at September 30, 2017. The insurance recovery represents the full amount available under the insurance policy, and is recorded in accounts receivable - other in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017.

Accrued restructuring liabilities at September 30, 2017 and 2016 relate primarily to employee termination benefits.

Excluded from restructuring expense in the table above are non-cash restructuring charges that did not impact the accrued restructuring liability. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in non-cash restructuring expense related to losses (gains) on the disposals of long-lived assets. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized non-cash charges of $0.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively, related to impairments of long-lived assets.


12




Spin-off transaction costs

Spin-off costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards directly related to the spin-off from our former parent, The Babcock & Wilcox Company (now known as BWX Technologies, Inc.). In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized spin-off costs of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized spin-off costs of $0.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we disbursed $1.9 million of the accrued retention awards.

NOTE 7 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We had an income tax benefit of $5.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, which resulted in a 4.7% effective tax rate as compared to $1.6 million of income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2016, which resulted in a 15.2% effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible goodwill impairment charges, foreign losses in our Renewable segment that are subject to a valuation allowance and nondeductible expenses, offset by favorable discrete items of $0.4 million. The discrete items include favorable adjustments to prior year U.S. tax returns and the effect of vested and exercised share-based compensation awards. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income and losses and favorable impacts from adjustments related to prior years' tax returns in the United States and foreign jurisdictions.

We had an income tax benefit of $7.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which resulted in a 2.7% effective tax rate as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which resulted in a 1.8% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the reasons noted above, as well as the second quarter tax benefit associated with the impairment of our equity method investment in India, which was offset by a valuation allowance, second quarter discrete items including withholding tax on a forecasted distribution outside the United States, partly offset by first quarter favorable discrete adjustments to prior year foreign tax returns and nondeductible transaction costs. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than our statutory rate primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets related to our equity investment in a foreign joint venture and statecost or net operating losses, and to the jurisdictional mix of our forecasted full year income and losses, as described above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we prospectively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting. Adopting the new accounting standard resulted in a net $0.2 million and $1.7 million income tax benefit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, associated with the income tax effects of vested and exercised share-based compensation awards.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets, including identifiable intangible assets, at the acquisition date. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in which we have significant ownership and influence, but not control, are accountedcircumstances indicate a potential impairment exists.

There were no indicators of goodwill impairment identified for in our consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. We assess our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for other-than-temporary-impairment when significantquarter ended March 31, 2024.

The following summarizes the changes occur in the investee's business or our investment philosophy. Such changes might include a series of operating losses incurred by the investee that are deemed other than temporary, the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify thenet carrying amount of the investment or a change in the strategic reasons that were important when we originally entered into the joint venture. If an other-than-temporary-impairment were to occur, we would measure our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate at fair value.goodwill as of March 31, 2024:

Our primary equity method investees include joint ventures in China and India, each of which manufactures boiler parts and equipment. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our total investment in these joint ventures was $87.4 million and $98.7 million, respectively.


During the third quarter of 2017, both we and our joint venture partner began the process of scaling back the operations at Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited ("TBWES"), our joint venture in India, due to the decline in forecasted market opportunities in India. Currently, the manufacturing facility in India has been reduced to essential personnel only while engineering services are expected to continue in our engineering office through the end of 2017. These actions are in line with our change in strategy for the joint venture announced in the second quarter of 2017, which reduced the expected recoverable value of our investment in TBWES. We recognized an $18.2 million other-than-temporary-impairment of our investment in TBWES during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The impairment charge was based on the difference in the carrying value of our investment in TBWES and our share of the estimated fair value of TBWES's net assets.

* Prior to September 30, 2017, we had not recorded any goodwill impairment charges.

Our annual goodwill impairment assessment is performed on October 1 of each year (the "annual assessment" date); however, events during 2017 have required two interim assessments of all six of our reporting units. In the second quarter of 2017, significant charges in our Renewable segment was considered to be a triggering event for the interim assessment as of June 30, 2017, which did not indicate impairment. In the third quarter of 2017, our market capitalization significantly decreased to below our equity value, which was considered to be a trigger for a second interim assessment. Additionally, the forecast was reduced for our SPIG reporting unit based on a change in the market strategy implemented by the new segment management to focus on core geographies and products.

Assessing goodwill for impairment involves a two step test. Step 1 of the test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Step 2 of the test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill, and impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied value of goodwill. Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires significant judgment. The fair value of each reporting unit determined under Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test was based on a 50% weighting of an income approach using a discounted cash flow analysis based on forward-looking projections of future operating results, a 30% to 40% weighting of a market approach using multiples of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of guideline companies and a 20% to 10% weighting of a market approach using multiples of revenue and EBITDA from recent, similar business combinations.

We primarily attributed the significant decline in our market capitalization in the third quarter of 2017 to the announcement of significant charges in the Renewable reporting unit. Accordingly, we increased the discount rate applied to future projected cash flows from 15.0% at June 30, 2017 to 23.5% at September 30, 2017. As a result of the increase in the discount rate and an increase in the carrying value of the reporting unit, impairment was indicated at September 30, 2017, which measured $50.0 million ($48.9 million net of tax), the full carrying value. Other long-lived assets in the reporting unit were not impaired.

For our SPIG reporting unit, which is included in our Industrial segment, the Step 1 also indicated impairment. At June 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the fair value exceeded the carrying value by less than 1% and 5%, respectively. At September 30, 2017, the independently obtained fair value estimates decreased under both the income and market valuation approaches due

18




to a short-term decrease in profitability attributable to specific current contracts and changes in SPIG's market strategy introduced by segment management during the third quarter. The discount rate applied to future projected cash flows was 14.0% and 12.5% at each of the September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 interim tests, respectively. Step 2 of the impairment test at September 30, 2017 measured $36.9 million of impairment (with no income tax impact). The SPIG reporting unit has $38.0 million of goodwill remaining after the impairment charge. Other long-lived assets in the reporting unit were not impaired.

For the remaining four reporting units where impairment was not indicated at September 30, 2017, the goodwill balances at September 30, 2017 and the Step 1 goodwill impairment test headroom (the estimated fair value less the carrying value) are as follows:
 Power Segment Industrial Segment
(in millions)PowerConstruction MEGTECUniversal
Reporting unit headroom60%98% 12%18%
Goodwill balance$38.5$8.9 $104.3$14.4

Step 1 of the impairment test for our MEGTEC reporting unit, which is included in our Industrial segment, did not indicate impairment, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value by 12% at September 30, 2017 compared to 3.0% at June 30, 2017 and 22% at October 1, 2016. Under both the income and market valuation approaches, the fair value estimates at the interim assessment data and the second interim assessment date decreased compared to the annual assessment date due to lower projected net sales and EBITDA. Similar to many industrial businesses, the reduction in MEGTEC reporting unit revenues has been the result of a decline in new equipment demand, primarily in the Americas; however, bookings trends have recently improved and backlog at September 30, 2017 is 67% higher than at the same date a year ago. The MEGTEC reporting unit recorded a 15% increase in revenues and a 16% increase in gross profit during the third quarter of 2017. The estimate of fair value of the MEGTEC reporting unit is sensitive to changes in assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results under the income approach. The discount rate applied to future projected cash flows was 12.5% and 11.0% at each of the September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 interim tests, respectively. Absent any other changes, an increase in the discount rate could result in future impairment of goodwill. Decreases in future projected operating results could also result in future impairment of goodwill.

During the first quarter of 2017, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a plan settlement of $0.4 million, which also resulted in interim mark to market accounting
There were no MTM adjustments for the pension plan. The mark to market adjustment in the first quarter of 2017 was $0.7 million. The effect of these charges and mark to market adjustments are reflected in the $1.1 million "Recognized net actuarial loss" for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in the table above. There were no significant plan settlements or interim mark to market adjustments during the second or third quarters of 2017.

During the second and third quarters of 2016, we recorded adjustments to our benefit plan liabilities resulting from certain curtailment and settlement events. In September 2016, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a $0.1 million pension plan settlement charge. In May 2016, the closure of our West Point, Mississippi manufacturing facility resulted in a $1.8 million curtailment charge in our United States pension plan. In April 2016, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a $1.1 million plan settlement charge. These events resulted in interim mark to market accounting for the respectiveother postretirement benefit plans in 2016. Mark to market charges induring the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.5 million in our Canadian pension plan. Mark to market charges for our United StatesMarch 31, 2024 and Canadian pension plans were $27.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The pension mark to market charges were impacted by higher than expected returns on pension plan assets. The weighted-average discount rate used to remeasure the benefit plan liabilities at September 30, 2016 was 3.88%. The effect of these charges and mark to market adjustments are reflected in the 2016 "Recognized net actuarial loss" in the table above.2023.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate due to valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and discrete items. We have unfavorable discrete items of $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which primarily represent withholding taxes.

ARPA litigationLitigation Relating to Boiler Installation and Supply Contract


On February 28, 2014, the Arkansas River Power Authority ("ARPA")December 27, 2019, a complaint was filed suit against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (now known as The Babcock & Wilcoxus by P.H. Glatfelter Company and referred to herein as “BW PGG”(“Glatfelter”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Colorado (CasePennsylvania, Case No. 14-cv-00638-CMA-NYW)1:19-cv-02215-JPW, alleging breach of contract, negligence, fraud and other claims arising out of BW PGG's delivery of a circulating fluidized bed boiler and related equipment used in the Lamar Repowering Project pursuant to a 2005 contract.

A jury trial took place in mid-November 2016. Some of ARPA’s claims were dismissed by the judge during the trial. The jury’s verdict on the remaining claims was rendered on November 21, 2016. The jury found in favor of B&W with respect to ARPA’s claims of fraudulent concealment and negligent misrepresentation and on one of ARPA’s claims of breach of contract.contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the “Glatfelter Litigation”). The jury foundcomplaint alleges damages in favorexcess of ARPA$58.9 million. On March 16, 2020 we filed a motion to dismiss, and on December 14, 2020 the three remaining claimscourt issued its order dismissing the fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims. On January 11, 2021, we filed an answer and a counterclaim for breach of contract, seeking damages in excess of $2.9 million. On November 30, 2022, we and

Glatfelter each filed cross-motions for summary judgment. On June 21, 2023, the court granted our motion in part, dismissing Glatfelter’s promissory estoppel and awardedunjust enrichment claims, dismissing Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. entirely (Glatfelter's remaining claim is asserted against The Babcock & Wilcox Company), and finding that Plaintiffs’ claims for damages totaling $4.2will be subject to the contractual cap on liability (defined as the $11.7 million which exceededpurchase price, subject to certain adjustments), and denied Glatfelter’s motion for summary judgment. The case is now set for trial on August 5, 2024. We intend to continue to vigorously litigate the previous $2.3 million accrual we established in 2012 by $1.9 million.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $4.2 million was included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, and we have posted a bond pending resolution of post-trial matters.

Stockholder litigation

On March 3, 2017 and March 13, 2017, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in two separate but largely identical complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaints were brought on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between July 1, 2015 and February 28, 2017 and were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (collectively, the "Stockholder Litigation"). During the second quarter of 2017, the Stockholder Litigation was consolidated into a single action and a lead plaintiff was selected by the Court. During the third quarter of 2017, the plaintiff further amended its complaint. As amended, the complaint now purports to cover investors who purchased shares between June 17, 2015 and August 9, 2017.

The plaintiff in the Stockholder Litigation alleges fraud, misrepresentation and a course of conduct relating to the facts surrounding certain projects underway in the Company's Renewable segment, which, according to the plaintiff, had the effect of artificially inflating the price of the Company's common stock. The plaintiff further alleges that stockholders were harmed when the Company disclosed on February 28, 2017 and August 9, 2017 that it would incur losses on these projects. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

We believe the allegations in the Stockholder Litigation are without merit, and thatdetermine if the outcome of the StockholderGlatfelter Litigation will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition,position, results of operations or cash flows, net of any insurance coverage.flows.

NOTE 2018DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCOMPREHENSIVE INCOME


Our foreign currency exchange ("FX") forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to changes in FX spot rates of forecasted transactions related to long-term contracts. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the FX forward contracts attributable to the difference between FX spot ratesGains and FX forward rates.

NOTE 2321 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND STANDARDS


New accounting standards to be adopted

We consider the applicability and impact of all issued ASUs. Certain recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be not applicable. New accounting standards not yet adopted that could affect our consolidated financial statementsthe Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:


In May 2014,October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new accounting standard provides a comprehensive model2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to use in accounting for revenue from contracts with customersthe SEC's Disclosure Update and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. In 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates to address implementation issues and to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licenses; determining if an entity is the principal or agent in a revenue arrangement; and technical corrections and improvements on topics including: contract costs, loss provisions on construction and production contracts and disclosures for remaining and prior-period performance obligations. The new accounting standard also requires more detailed disclosures to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with

28




customers. The new accounting standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and permits retrospectively applying the guidance to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or prospectively applying the guidance and providing additional disclosures comparing results to previous guidance, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized in beginning retained earnings at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). We have developed a cross-functional team of B&W professionals from across each of our reportable segments and an implementation plan to adopt the new accounting standard. To date, we have analyzed our primary revenue streams and performed a detailed review of a sample of key contracts representative of our products and services in order to assess potential changes in our processes, systems, internal controls and the timing and method of revenue recognition and related disclosures. Based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect the timing of revenue recognition to change significantly upon adoption of the new accounting standard; however, we are still assessing the impact to process, systems, internal controls and disclosures. We plan to adopt the new accounting standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The FASB has issued, and may issue in the future, interpretative guidance, which may cause our evaluation to change. Our evaluation will include the existing, uncompleted contracts at that time the new accounting standard is adopted, and as a result, we will not be able to make a final determination about the impact of adopting the new accounting standard until the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new accounting standard is effective for us beginning in 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The new accounting standard requires investments such as available-for-sale securities to be measured at fair value through earnings each reporting period as opposed to changes in fair value being reported in other comprehensive income. We do not expect the new accounting standard to have a significant impact on our financial results when adopted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). With adoption of this standard, lessees will have to recognize almost all leases as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheet. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new accounting standard is effective for us beginning in 2019. We do not expect the new accounting standard to have a significant impact on our financial results when adopted.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash PaymentsSimplification Initiative. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversityalign U.S. GAAP and SEC requirements while facilitating the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. The effective date of ASU 2023-06 depends on (1) whether an entity is already subject to the SEC's current disclosure requirements and (2) whether and, if so, when the SEC removed related requirements from its regulations. For entities that are already subject to the SEC's current disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the related requirements from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments made by ASU 2023-06 will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items in practice in how certain transactions are classified ininterim and annual periods and expands the statement of cash flows. Of the eight classification-related changes this new standard will require in the statement of cash flows, only two of the classificationASC 280 disclosure requirements are relevantfor interim periods. The ASU also explicitly requires public entities with a single reportable segment to our historical cash flow statement presentation (presentation of debt prepayments and presentation of distributions from equity method investees). However,provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new classification requirements would not have changed our historical statement of cash flows. The new standarddisclosures under the ASU. ASU 2023-07 is effective for usfiscal years beginning in 2018.after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We do not plan to early adopt the new accounting standard becauseare currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures to assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the standard will only impact the income tax disclosures and is not expected to be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 22 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 10, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Seaport Global Securities LLC, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (together, the "Agents"), in connection with the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our consolidatedcommon stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million through the Agents. Any shares to be offered and sold under the Sales Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to our previously filed and currently effective registration statement of cash flows when adopted.

In January 2017,on Form S-3 initially filed with the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): ClarifyingSEC on November 8, 2021 and declared effective by the Definition of a Business. The new guidance clarifiesSEC on November 22, 2021. A prospectus supplement relating to the definition of a business in an effort to make the guidance more consistent. The guidance provides a test for determining when a group of assets and business activities is not a business, specifically, when substantially alloffering of the fair valueShares was filed with the SEC on April 10, 2024.

The shares may be offered and sold through the Agents over a period of time and from time to time by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Agents are not required to sell any specific aggregate principal amount of our shares but will act as our sales agents using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on our mutually agreed terms with the Agents. Under the Sales Agreement, the designated Agent will be entitled to compensation equal to 3.0% of the gross assets acquired or disposedproceeds from each sale of the shares sold through it as the designated Agent. The amount of net proceeds we will receive from this offering, if any, will depend upon the actual aggregate principal amount of the shares sold, after deduction of the Agents’ commission and any transaction fees. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and net proceeds to us, if any, are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or groupnot determinable at this time.

The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of assets,the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and if inputsthe Agents, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and substantive processes that significantly contributetermination provisions.

Through May 3, 2024, we have sold 1.5 million shares pursuant to the ability to create outputs is not present. The new accounting standard is effective for us beginning in 2018. We do not expect the new accounting standard to have a significant impact on our financial results when adopted.Sales Agreement.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance removes the requirement to compare implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount, therefore impairment charges would be recognized immediately by the amount which carrying value exceeds fair value. The new accounting standard is effective beginning in 2020. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on our financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Benefit Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new guidance classifies service cost as the only component of net periodic benefit cost presented in cost of operations, whereas the other components will be presented in other income. This will affect not only how we present net periodic benefit cost, but also how we present segment gross profit and operating income upon adoption. The new accounting standard is effective for us beginning in 2018. We have

New accounting standards that were adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are summarized as follows:

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting. This new accounting standard has affected how we account for share-based payments, with the most significant impact being the impact of income taxes associated with share-based compensation. Subsequent to adoption, the income tax effects related to share-based payments will be recorded as a component of income tax expense (or benefit) as they occur, rather than being classified as a component of additional paid-in capital. In addition, the effect of excess tax benefits will now be presented in the cash flow statement as an operating activity. We prospectively adopted the new accounting standard. See Note 7 for the effect on the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This new accounting standard requires that first-in, first-out inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Under GAAP prior to the adoption of this new accounting standard, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market, where market was defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and a floor of net realizable value minus a normal profit margin. Although this new accounting standard raises the threshold on when charges against inventory can occur, we do not expect a significant impact because we have not had significant inventory charges in the past. We prospectively adopted the new accounting standard and it had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 24– SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In the third quarter of 2017 and through the date of this report, we have announced plans to implement restructuring actions to improve our global cost structure and increase our financial flexibility. The restructuring actions include a workforce reduction at both the business segment and corporate levels totaling approximately 9% of our global workforce, SG&A expense reductions and new cost control measures, and office closures and consolidations in non-core geographies. These actions include reduction of approximately 30% of B&W Vølund's workforce, which will right-size its workforce to operate under a new execution model focused on B&W's core boiler, grate and environmental equipment technologies, with the balance of plant and civil construction scope being executed by a partner. We believe the new B&W Vølund business model provides the Company with a lower risk profile and aligns with B&W's strategy of being an industrial and power equipment technology and solutions provider. Other actions are focused on productivity and efficiency gains to enhance profitability and cash flows, and to mitigate the impact of lower demand in the global coal-fired power market. Total estimated costs associated with these restructuring actions are anticipated to be approximately $20 million, most of which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the estimated annual savings are expected to be approximately $45 million in 2018.

Market Update

Management continues to adapt to macroeconomic conditions, including the following pages of this Management's Discussionimpacts from inflation, higher interest rates and Analysis of Financial Conditionforeign exchange rate volatility, geopolitical conflicts (including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Results of Operations is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operationsMiddle East) and makes strategic decisions about the business.

We generally recognize revenuesglobal shipping and related costs from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis. Accordingly, we review contract price and cost estimates regularly as work progresses and reflect adjustments in profit proportionate to the percentage of completion in the periods in which we revise estimates to complete the contract. To the extentsupply chain disruptions that these adjustments result in a reduction of previously reported profits from a project, we recognize a charge against current earnings. Changes in the estimated results of our percentage of completion contracts are necessarily based on information available at the time that the estimates are made and are based on judgments that are inherently uncertain as they are predictive in nature. As with all estimates to complete used to measure contract revenue and costs, actual results can and do differ from our estimates made over time.

Our Renewable segmenthave continued to make progress towards completing its portfoliohave an impact in 2024. In certain instances, these situations have resulted in cost increases and delays or disruptions that have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our ability to meet customers’ demands. We continue to actively monitor the impact of European renewable energy projects inthese market conditions on

current and future periods and actively manage costs and our liquidity position to provide additional flexibility while still supporting our customers and their specific needs. The duration and scope of these conditions cannot be predicted, and therefore, any anticipated negative financial impact on our operating results cannot be reasonably estimated.

Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2017, represented by2023, we committed to a $60.4 million increaseplan to sell our B&W Solar business resulting in revenue compared toa significant change that would impact our operations. As of September 30, 2023, we met all of the second quartercriteria for the assets and liabilities of 2017. Our near break-even gross profit in thethis business, formerly part of our B&W Renewable segment, in the third quarter of 2017 is a result of recognizing gross profit on our loss contracts only to the extent there are current changes in estimated losses at completion. In September 2017, we identified the failure of a structural steel beam on one of these projects, which temporarily stopped work in the boiler building pending corrective actions to stabilize the structure that are expected to be complete inaccounted for as held for sale. In addition, we also determined that the fourth quarter of 2017. The engineering, design and manufacturingoperations of the steel structure were the responsibility of subcontractors. A similar design was also used on two of the other projects, and although no structural failure occurred on these other two projects, work was stopped for a short period of time while reinforcement of the structures is completed. The costs related to these structural steel issues is estimated to be approximately $20 million, primarily related to project delays, and is includedB&W Solar business qualified as a discontinued operation, primarily based upon its significance to our current charge inand historic operating losses.

We continued to meet the third quarter of 2017. Also in the third quarter of 2017, we adjusted the design of three of these renewable facilitiescriteria to increase the guaranteed power output, which will allow us to achieve contractual bonus opportunitiesaccount for the higher output. The bonus opportunities increased the estimated selling priceB&W Solar business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of the three contracts by approximately $15 million in total, and this positive change in estimated cost to complete was fully recognized in the third quarter of 2017 because each of these three were loss projects.March 31, 2024.


Our Power segment continued to deliver gross margins consistent with our expectations in the third quarter of 2017. As previously disclosed, we anticipated a future decline in the coal power generation markets and proactively responded by restructuring our Power segment to help us hold gross margins. Our 2016 restructuring has been effective, and the Power segment's gross margin percentage has not significantly changed despite the 4.5% decline in revenues in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016 and the 19.7% decline in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017

31




compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Power segment also continues to benefit from consistent, effective contract execution.

The primary driver of the increase in Industrial segment revenues in the third quarter of 2017 was the $16.0 million contribution from Universal Acoustic & Emissions Technology, Inc. ("Universal"), which was acquired on January 11, 2017. The acquisition benefited the Industrial segment's gross profit in the third quarter of 2017, which helped offset the impact of a change in the product mix and challenges related to completing several cooling systems projects. Our MEGTEC business unit recorded sequential increases in quarterly bookings in 2017, which added to strong 2017 bookings at our SPIG business unit, and we expect continued improvement in the Industrial markets to benefit this segment.

We recorded goodwill impairment charges of $86.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. In the quarter, our market capitalization significantly decreased to below our stockholders' equity, which we attributed to the announcement of our second quarter 2017 results that included significant charges in the Renewable reporting unit. Accordingly, we increased the discount rate applied to future projected cash flows, which resulted in a $50.0 million goodwill impairment charge in our Renewable segment. Additionally in the third quarter of 2017, the forecast was reduced for our SPIG reporting unit based on a change in the market strategy implemented by the new segment management to focus on core geographies and products. The forecast reduction in combination with a short-term decrease in profitability attributable to specific current contracts and an increase in the discount rate applied to future projected cash flows resulted in a $36.9 million impairment charge to the SPIG reporting unit within the Industrial segment.

In the third quarter of 2017 and through the date of this report, we have announced plans to implement restructuring actions to improve our global cost structure and increase our financial flexibility. The restructuring actions include a workforce reduction at both the business segment and corporate levels totaling approximately 9% of our global workforce, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense reductions and new cost control measures, and office closures and consolidations in non-core geographies. These actions include reduction of approximately 30% of B&W Vølund's workforce, which will right-size its workforce to operate under a new execution model focused on B&W's core boiler, grate and environmental equipment technologies, with the balance-of-plant and civil construction scope being executed by a partner. We believe the new B&W Vølund business model provides us with a lower risk profile and aligns with our strategy of being an industrial and power equipment technology and solutions provider. Other actions are focused on productivity and efficiency gains to enhance profitability and cash flows, and to mitigate the impact of lower demand in the global coal-fired power market. Total estimated costs associated with these restructuring actions are anticipated to be less than $20 million, most of which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the estimated annual savings are expected to be at least $45 million in 2018.

We used $19.7 million of cash in the third quarter of 2017. Net borrowings on our United States revolving credit facility were $59.2 million, which included the repayment of $115.5 million of the revolving credit facility balance with net proceeds from the issuance of our second lien term loan on August 9, 2017. Our use of cash was primarily to fund progress on our Renewable segment contracts. We expect our operations to use cash through the fourth quarter of 2017 and first part of 2018, particularly in the Renewable segment, as we fund contract losses and work down advanced bill positions. Our forecasted use of cash is expected to be funded in part through borrowings from our United States revolving credit facility.

Year-over-year comparisons of our results were also affected by:

$4.0 million and $8.8 million of intangible amortization expense in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $14.5 million and $11.9 million of expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect $18.0 million of amortization expense in the full year 2017 compared to $19.9 million of amortization in the full year 2016.
$3.6 million and $7.9 million of restructuring expense was recognized in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $34.6 million of restructuring expense in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The pre-2017 actions restructured our business that serves the power generation market in advance of lower demand projected for power generation from coal in the United States. The 2017 restructuring actions were implemented to help the Power segment continue to manage its fixed costs, align our Renewable segment with the changing business model and achieve SG&A cost savings.
$0.2 million and $1.0 million and of expense related to the spin-off from our former Parent was recognized in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $3.4 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards.

32




$3.7 million of interest payable was awarded by the court based on the outcome of our appeal of the November 21, 2016 Arkansas River Power Authority ("ARPA") trial verdict, which was recorded as an increase in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
$0.3 million and $0.8 million of SG&A expenses in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 associated with acquisition and integration costs related to SPIG and Universal, respectively, and $3.1 million and $1.9 million of acquisition and integration costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
$1.1 million of actuarially determined mark to market losses were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which relate to lump sum settlement payments from our Canadian pension plan in the first quarter of 2017.
$0.6 million and $30.5 million of actuarially determined mark to market pension losses in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were triggered by the closure of our West Point, Mississippi manufacturing facility in May 2016 that resulted in a curtailment in our United States pension plan and lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan in April 2016 that resulted in plan settlements.

Our third quarter and year to date segment and other operating results are described in more detail below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 VS. 2016

Components of Our Results of Operations
Selected
Revenue

Revenue is the total amount of income generated by our business and consists primarily of income from the renewable, environmental and thermal technology solutions and services we provide to a broad range of industrial, electric utility and other customers. Revenue from our operations is assessed based on our three market-facing segments, B&W Renewable, B&W Environmental and B&W Thermal.

Operating (loss) income

Operating (loss) income consists primarily of revenue minus costs and expenses, including cost of operations, SG&A, and advisory fees and settlement costs.

Net loss

Net loss consists primarily of operating (loss) income minus other income and expenses, including interest income, foreign exchange and expense related to our benefit plans, and provision for income taxes.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion of our consolidated and business segment results of operations includes a discussion of adjusted EBITDA, which, when used on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial highlights are presentedmeasure. Adjusted EBITDA differs from net loss, the most directly comparable measure calculated in the table below:accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this financial measure is useful to investors because it excludes certain expenses, allowing investors to more easily compare our operating performance period to period. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA is included in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Condensed and consolidated results of operations

Three months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016March 31, 2024 and 2023



Revenues decreased by $2.3$33.7 millionto $408.7$207.6 million in the third quarter of 2017three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $411.0$241.3 million in the third quarter of 2016. Anticipated decreasesthree months ended March 31, 2023. Thedecrease was primarily driven by a $22.1 million decrease in construction activities associated with new build and retrofitB&W Renewable segment revenue because fewer waste-to-energy projects were performed in the Power segmentcurrent year as, consistent with our stated strategy, we shift our focus to our higher-margin and lower-risk European Renewable parts and services business and a $6.2 million decrease in B&W Thermal segment revenue as a large project in our U.S. construction business was completed in 2023 that was not fully replaced in 2024.

Operating income for the revenue recognized in the Renewable segment resulting from ongoing performance challenges on our renewable energy contracts were partially offset by the increase in revenue in the Industrial segment resulting from the acquisition of Universal on January 11, 2017.

In the third quarter of 2017, we had consolidated gross profit of $47.3 million, which compares to gross profit of $73.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $26.5 million. The primary drivers of the decrease were the six uncompleted European loss contracts in the Renewable segment (see Note 5 in the condensed consolidated financial statements), productivity issues on new build cooling system projects in the Industrial segment and the volume impact of the decline in the Power segment's revenues, which were partially offset by the gross profit contribution from the Universal acquisition. Intangible asset amortization expense is discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Our goodwill impairment charges, restructuring expense and equity in income of investees are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues decreased by March 31, 2024 was $48.6 million to $1.15 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $1.20 billion for the corresponding nine month period in 2016. The primary decreases were in construction activities associated with new build and retrofit projects in the Power segment and a decrease in the revenue recognized in the Renewable segment resulting from ongoing performance challenges on six of our renewable energy contracts. These declines were partially offset by the increase in revenue in the Industrial segment resulting from the acquisitions of SPIG and Universal.

Gross profit decreased by $125.6 million to $54.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $180.0 million in the corresponding period in 2016. The primary drivers of the decrease were the six uncompleted European loss contracts in the Renewable segment (see Note 5 in the condensed consolidated financial statements) and the impact of the decline in the Power segment's revenues, which were partially offset by gross profit contributions from the SPIG and Universal acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense is discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Excluding amortization of intangible assets and pension mark to market adjustments, SG&A expenses increased by $13.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $192.74.3 million as compared to $179.2$1.3 million in the corresponding nine month periodthree months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in 2016,2024 was driven by a $6.6 million reduction in Selling, general and administrative costs primarily relatedattributable to addinga favorable final settlement of a liability to the SPIGformer owner of B&W Solar, and Universal businesses and ongoing project support activities in the Renewable segment, partially offset by savings from our 2016 restructuring actions. Intangible asset amortization expense and pension mark to market adjustments are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Equity in income of investees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes a $18.2$3.4 million other-than-temporary-impairment of our investment in Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited ("TBWES") that we recorded in the second quarter of 2017. The impairment charge was a result of the strategic change we and our joint venture partner have madelower gross margin due to the declinereduced revenue. Gross margin is defined as Revenues less Cost of Sales. Loss from continuing operations increased by $3.1 million to $15.8 million in forecasted market opportunities in India.

Our goodwill impairment charges and restructuring expense are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Threethe three months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues decreased 4%, or $9.5 million,March 31, 2024 as compared to $202.2$12.7 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $211.7three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by a $5.1 million inLoss on debt extinguishment as the corresponding quarter in 2016. The revenue decrease is attributable to the anticipated decline in the coal power generation market, and primarily impacted our new build utility and environmental product and service line due to a decrease in construction activity. We resized our business in anticipation of these declines with our 2016 restructuring actions. Partially offsetting the revenue decrease was an increase in revenuesremaining deferred financing fees associated with our retrofits product and service line in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2016.terminated PNC Revolving Credit Agreement were written off.

Gross profit decreased 17%, or $8.3 million, to $40.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to gross profit of $48.9 million in the corresponding quarter in 2016. We were able to largely maintain our gross margin percentage as a result of the 2016 restructuring actions, which partially offset the gross profit effect of lower sales volumes. Compared to the third quarter of 2016, the primary decrease in gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 was attributable to the decrease in gross profit from a lower volume of construction activity associated with our new build utility and environmental equipment product and service line. Also contributing to the decrease were fewer net improvements on projects that were completed this year versus last year.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues decreased 20%, or $150.0 million, to $612.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $762.3 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. The revenue decrease is attributable to the anticipated decline in the coal power generation market discussed above. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the primary decrease in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was attributable to a decline new build utility and environmental equipment and retrofit projects primarily due to a decrease in construction activity. Partially offsetting those declines in revenues was an increase in industrial steam generation revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the corresponding nine month period in 2016.

Gross profit decreased 22%, or $38.3 million, to $132.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $170.9 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. We were able to maintain our gross margin percentage as a result of the 2016 restructuring actions, which partially offset the gross profit effect of lower sales volumes. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the decrease in gross margins are attributable to the same reasons discussed in the three month explanations above.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues decreased 13%, or $15.8 million, to $108.6 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $124.3 million in the corresponding quarter in 2016. The number of contracts and level of activity in the segment during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016 were comparable. The $15.8 million decrease in revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to revisions in our estimates of progress and estimated liquidated damages on six of our renewable energy contracts.

35





Gross profit decreased $18.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 to $0.2 million, compared to $18.6 million in the corresponding quarter in 2016. The decrease was primarily a result of six renewable energy loss contracts that remained uncompleted as of September 30, 2017.The loss contracts are not expected to contribute any gross profit to the Renewable segment throughout 2017 unless there are revisions to our estimated revenues or costs at completion in future periods.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues decreased 11% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $262.2 million, compared to $293.6 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. The number of contracts and level of activity in the segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were comparable. The decrease in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due to the same reasons noted in the three month explanations above.

Gross profit decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to a loss of $100.1 million, compared to gross profit of $14.5 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. Changes in estimates to complete our renewable energy contracts resulted in $123.8 million in charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

See Note 5 in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the impact of the segment's renewable energy contracts on our results of operations in the third quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues increased 29%, or $22.5 million, to $99.3 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $76.8 million in the corresponding quarter in 2016. The increase in revenues in the Industrial segment is attributable to organic growth from new build cooling systems projects, complemented by the acquisition of Universal on January 11, 2017, which added $16.0 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2017.

Gross profit decreased 35%, or $5.1 million, to $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $14.6 million in the corresponding quarter in 2016. The acquisition of Universal contributed $3.3 million of gross profit in the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year net decrease in gross margin percentage reflects product mix, as new build cooling system projects generally have lower margins than other products and services in the segment. In addition, the Industrial segment's gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 also was affected by productivity issues on new build cooling system projects. The productivity issues caused us to increase project cost estimates and deploy additional resources to complete the projects on time.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenues increased 91%, or $134.5 million, to $281.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $147.3 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. The increase in revenues in the Industrial segment is primarily attributable to the July 1, 2016 acquisition of SPIG and the January 11, 2017 acquisition of Universal, which together added $193.1 million of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Partially offsetting the increase is a $20.4 million decline in revenues attributable to environmental solutions sales in the United States, primarily in the first half of 2017.

Gross profit increased 2%, or $0.7 million, to $34.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $33.5 million in the corresponding nine month period in 2016. The acquisitions of SPIG and Universal contributed $12.6 million of

gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The year-over-year decrease in gross margins are attributable to the same reasons discussed in the three month explanations above.


Bookings and backlogBacklog


Bookings and backlog are our measures of remaining performance obligations under our sales contracts. In addition, we monitor Implied Bookings and Backlog, which are bookings (backlog) plus amounts related to projects that have been awarded to us but are not measures recognized by generally accepted accounting principles.fully under contract and/or projects under contract that are not yet fully released for performance. We believe these metrics provide investors, lenders and other users of our financial statements with a leading indicator of future revenues. It is possible that our methodology for determining bookings and backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.


We generally include expected revenue from contracts in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing the customers to payment for work performed. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and projectscontracts in our backlog may be canceled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. Additionally,Backlog can vary significantly from period to period, particularly when large new-build conversion projects or operations and maintenance contracts are booked because they may be fulfilled over multiple years. Because we operate globally, our backlog is also affected by changes in foreign currencies each period. We do not include orders of our unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog.


Bookings represent changes to the backlog. Bookings include additions related to our backlog.booking new business or increases in project scope, subtractions due to customer cancellations or reductions in scope, changes in estimates that affect selling price and revaluation of backlog denominated in foreign currency. We believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or for periods less than one year is less meaningful than for longer periods, and that shorter termshorter-term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a material trend.

Changes in Contract Estimates


Goodwill impairmentDuring the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized changes in estimated gross profit related to long-term contracts accounted for on the over time basis, which are summarized as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We recorded goodwill impairment chargesuse non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that the presentation of $86.9 million ($85.8 millionthese measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following discussion of our business segment results of operations includes a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, which is a non-GAAP metric and differs from the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is defined as the sum of the adjusted EBITDA for each of the segments, further adjusted for corporate allocations and research and development costs. At a segment level, the adjusted EBITDA presented below is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business and is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, restructuring activities, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management and are not allocated to the segment.We present consolidated adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of tax)the ongoing, operating performance before corporate overhead and other expenses not attributable to the operating performance of our revenue-generating segments.

SG&A expenses

adjusted EBITDA include SG&A expenses excluding intangible asset amortization expensethat are not allocated to the reportable segments. These costs include, among others, certain executive, compliance, strategic, reporting and pension marklegal expenses associated with governance of the organization and being an SEC registrant. Corporate expenses not allocated to market adjustments, decreased by $0.4the reportable segments totaled $6.0 million to $59.2and $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $59.6 million in the third quarter of 2016. The primary reasons for the decrease are the $8.7 million of SG&A savings from our 2016 restructuring focused on the Power segment and $0.5 million lower acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by $4.1 million of increased costs to support ongoing Renewable projects and a $4.7 million increase resulting from the Universal acquisition and other support activities in the Industrial segment.

SG&A expenses, excluding intangible asset amortization expense and pension mark to market adjustments, increased by $13.5 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to $192.7 million, as compared to $179.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. SG&A increased by $20.2 million from the SPIG and Universal acquisitions, and $13.3 million to support ongoing Renewable projects, partially offset by $21.9 milliontiming of savings from our 2016 restructuring actions focused on the Power segment.expenses incurred for professional fees.


Research and development expenses


Our research and development activities are focused on improving our products through innovations to reduce their cost and improve competitiveness and/or reduce performance risk of our products to better meet our and our customers’ expectations.
38


Research and development expenses totaled $0.1 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2024, the focus of our development activities shifted to our BrightLoopTM and ClimateBrightTM portfolio, which is captured in the Product development category.

Benefit plans, net

We recognize benefits from our defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans based on actuarial calculations primarily because expected return on assets is greater than service cost. Service cost is low because our plan benefits are frozen except for a small number of hourly participants. Pension benefits for defined benefit and other postretirement benefits plans before MTM were a benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Our pension costs include MTM adjustments and are primarily a result of changes in the discount rate, curtailments and settlements. Any MTM charge or gain should not be considered to be representative of future MTM adjustments as such events are not currently predicted and are in each case subject to market conditions and actuarial assumptions as of the date of the event giving rise to the MTM adjustment. There were no MTM adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.

Loss on asset sales, net

We, at times, will sell or dispose of certain assets that are unrelated to our operations, therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude these gains and losses from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the business. We had $0.1 million and $0.9 million in losses on sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock Compensation

The grant date fair value of stock compensation varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and reward types. This may make the impact of this form of compensation on our current financial results difficult to compare to previous and future periods. Therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies.

Expenses related to restricted stock units are recorded at the Corporate level and are recognized on a straight-line basis over a 3-year vesting period, except for market-based restricted stock units which are recognized over a derived service period.

Stock compensation was $1.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Restructuring activities and business service transition costs

Restructuring activities and business services transition actions across our business units and corporate functions resulted in expense of $1.6 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The restructuring charges primarily consist of severance and related costs associated with non-recurring actions taken to transform our operations with impacts on employees and facilities used in our businesses. Business services transition costs relate to new technology implementation, expected to provide future benefit and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Settlements and related legal costs

Settlements and related legal costs were a benefit of $4.1 million and $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The current year benefit is driven by the favorable final settlement of amounts owed to the former owner of B&W Solar, offset by expenses related to several smaller litigation matters. The benefit in the prior year was driven by a $2.5 million litigation settlement.
39


Product development

Our product development activities include expenses that relate to sales, marketing, and other business development expenses for products and services still under development and improvementnot yet widely available. Product development expenses totaled $1.6 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from timing of newspecific research and existing productsincreased development efforts and equipment,activities related to our BrightLoopTM commercialization efforts and to further develop our ClimateBrightTM portfolio. Management excludes these expenses from adjusted EBITDA as wellthey often may not correlate to revenue or other operations occurring in the current period.

Foreign exchange

Foreign exchange was a loss of $1.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and we translate items in the statement of operations at average exchange rates for the periods presented. We record adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements as conceptuala component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We report foreign currency transaction gains and engineering evaluationlosses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Financial advisory services

We had financial advisory services of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no financial advisory services in 2023.

Contract Disposal

We are in the process of exiting our only remaining fixed fee operational and maintenance ("O&M") contract in our Renewable segment. Losses related to this contract totaled $0.6 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We believe it is useful to exclude the impact of this contract on our operating results in order to highlight the performance of the ongoing business.

Letter of credit fees

Letter of credit fees included in Cost of operations were $2.4 million and $1.6 million for translation into practical applications.the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Letter of credit fees are routinely incurred in the course of executing customer contracts. A portion of the fees are included in the contract prices with our customers. These expenses wereamounts represent performance guarantees akin to insurance that are not passed along to our customers and are excluded from adjusted EBITDA as they do not reflect the performance of the business.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2024 reflects a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, except in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sweden. Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period to determine whether realization is more likely than not. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances may be removed in the future if sufficient positive evidence exists to outweigh the negative evidence under the framework of ASC 740, Income Taxes ASC 740.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 is not reflective of the United States statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items. In certain jurisdictions where we anticipate a loss for the fiscal year or incurs a loss for the year-to-date period for which a tax benefit cannot be realized in accordance with ASC 740, we exclude the loss in that jurisdiction from the overall computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $2.1 million and $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Amortization expense was $2.3 million and $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenues in the B&W Environmental segment increased 23%, or $8.9 million to $48.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $39.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily driven by higher revenue of $2.0 million in SPIG, our Air-Cooled Condenser business, and $2.1 million in our Allen-Sherman-Hoff ("ASH") ash handling business, as well as slightly increased volume in our parts business.

Adjusted EBITDA in the B&W Environmental segment was $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenue from SPIG and ASH projects and improved operating performance as certain environmental projects were completed in the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary liquidity requirements include debt service, funding of dividends on preferred stock and working capital needs. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash generated from operations, external sources of financing, including our Axos Credit Agreement and senior notes, and equity offerings, including the Sales Agreement (as defined below) and our Preferred Stock, each of which are described in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report in further detail.

On April 10, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Seaport Global Securities LLC, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (together, the "Agents"), in connection with the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million, through the Agents. As of May 3, 2024, 1.5 million shares have been sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Refer to Note 22 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for additional discussion of the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $7.5Sales Agreement.

We have recurring operating losses primarily due to losses recognized on our B&W Solar business as described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2024 as well as higher debt service costs. Our net cash used in operating activities was $14.9 million and $8.3$12.9 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, respectively.

Restructuring

2017 Restructuring activities


In response to the third quarter of 2017conditions, we are implementing several strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations, and through the date of this report, we have announced plans to implement restructuring actionsare considering other alternative measures to improve cash flow, including suspension of the dividend on our global cost structure and increase our financial flexibility.Preferred Stock. The restructuringfollowing actions include a workforce reduction at bothoccurred during the business segment and corporate levels totaling approximately 9%three months ended March 31, 2024:

entered into advanced negotiations related to the sale of one of our global workforce, SG&A expense reductions and new cost control measures, and office closures and consolidations in non-core geographies. These actions include reduction of approximately 30% of B&W Vølund's workforce, which will right-size its workforce to operate under a new execution model focused on B&W's core boiler, grate and environmental equipment technologies, withnon-strategic businesses. Proceeds from the balance-of-plant and civil construction scope being executed by a partner. We believe the new B&W Vølund business model provides us with a lower risk profile and aligns with our strategy of being an industrial and power equipment technology and solutions provider. Other actions are focused on productivity and efficiency gains to enhance profitability and cash flows, and to mitigate the impact of lower demand in the global coal-fired power market. Total estimated costs associated with these restructuring actions are anticipated to be approximately $20 million, most of which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the estimated annual savingssale are expected to be approximately $45$40.0 million in 2018.

Pre-2017 Restructuring activities

Our series of restructuring activities prior to 2017 were intended$46.0 million, subject to help us maintain margins, make our costs more variabledue diligence and allow our business tocontinuing negotiations. We cannot provide any assurances that such transaction will close or that proceeds will not be more flexible. We madeor less than we anticipate;
initiated the sale process of certain of our manufacturing costs more volume-variable through the closurenon-strategic businesses;
filed for a waiver of manufacturing facilities and development of manufacturing arrangements with third parties. Also, we made our cost of engineering and supply chain more variable by creating a matrix organization capable of delivering products across multiple segments, and developing more volume-variable outsourcing arrangements with our joint venture partners and other third parties to meet fluctuating demand. This new matrix organization and operating model required different competencies and, in some cases, changes in leadership. While primarily applicable to our Power segment, our restructuring actions also benefit the Renewable and Industrial segments to a lesser degree. As demonstrated in our segment gross margin percentages, notwithstanding the challenges in our Renewable segment, we have achieved our objective of maintaining gross margins in the Power segment. Quantification of cost savings, however, is significantly dependent upon volume assumptions that have changed since the restructuring actions were initiated.

On June 28, 2016, we announced actions to restructure our power business in advance of lower projected demand for power generation from coal in the United States. These restructuring actions were primarily in the Power segment. Additionally, we announced leadership changes on December 6, 2016, which included the departure of members of management in our Renewable segment. The costs associated with these restructuring activities totaled $0.4 million and $4.0 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and were primarily related to $0.4 million and $2.4 million of employee severance in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This comparesminimum contributions to the $1.4 millionRetirement Plan for Employees of charges in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which consisted of $0.5 million of employee severance costs, a $0.1 million non-cash impairment of the long-lived assets at B&W's one coal power plant and $0.8 million of costs related to organizational realignment of personnel and processes. We expect additional restructuring charges of up to $0.1 million, primarily related to additional manufacturing facility consolidation initiatives that will extend through the fourth quarter of 2017.

The restructuring initiatives announced prior to 2016 were intended to better position us for growth and profitability. They have primarily been related to facility consolidation and organizational efficiency initiatives. Theses costs were $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. These costs were $1.0 million and $3.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect nominal additional restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily related to facility demolition and consolidation activities.

Spin-off transaction costs

Spin-off costs were primarily attributable to employee retention awards directly related to the spin-off from our former parent, The Babcock & Wilcox Company (now known as BWX Technologies, Inc.Commercial Operations (the "U.S. Plan"). In, that if granted, would reduce cash funding requirements in 2024 and would increase contributions annually over the third quartersubsequent five-year period. We cannot provide any assurances that such waiver will be granted;
initiated the process to sell several non-core real estate assets;
initiated the sale of common shares pursuant to our At-The-Market Offering; and, nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized spin-off costs
negotiated the settlement of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized spin-off costs of $0.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2017, we disbursed $1.9 million of the accrued retention awards. Approximately $0.5 million of such costs remain, which we expect to be recognized through June 30, 2018.

Equity in income (loss) of investees

Our primary equity method investees included joint ventures in China and India, each of which manufactures boiler parts and equipment. Excluding the impairment described below, Equity in income of investees in the third quarter of 2017 decreased $1.6 million to $1.2 million from $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in equity income of investees in the third quarter of 2017 is primarily attributable to winding down the joint venture in India as described in Note 11a liability to the condensed consolidated financial statementsformer owner of B&W Solar at a discount, resulting in future cash savings of $7.2 million..

Based on our ability to raise funds through the actions noted above and to the December 22, 2016 saleour Cash and cash equivalents as of all of our interest in our former Australian joint venture, Halley & Mellowes Pty. Ltd. ("HMA"). HMA contributed $0.6 million and $1.5 million to our equity in income of investees in the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, our total investment in equity method investees was $87.4 million, which included a $58.7 million investment in Babcock & Wilcox Beijing Company, Ltd. ("BWBC"). Based in China, BWBC designs, manufactures and sells various power plant boilers and related aftermarket equipment. BWBC has been profitable historically, andMarch 31, 2024, we have determinedconcluded it is probable that no other-than-temporary-impairment has occurred based onsuch actions would provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the valuenext twelve months following the date of its cash on hand, long-lived assets and expected future cash flows.

39





Our investment in equity method investees also included a investment in TBWES, which has a manufacturing facility intended primarily for new build coal boiler projects in India. During the second quarter of 2017, both we and our joint venture partner decided to make a strategic change in the Indian joint venture due to the decline in forecasted market opportunities in India, which reduced the expected recoverable value of our investment in the joint venture.this Quarterly Report. As a result, it is probable that our cash flow improvement plans and anticipated proceeds from the sale of this strategic change, we recognizednon-strategic assets alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a $18.2 million other-than-temporary-impairment of our investment in TBWES in the second quarter of 2017. The impairment charge was based on the difference in the carrying value of our investment in TBWESgoing concern.

Cash and our share of the estimated fair value of TBWES's net assets. After recording the impairment charge, our remaining investment in TBWES at September 30, 2017 was $26.0 million.Cash Flows

We assess our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for other-than-temporary-impairment when significant changes occur in the investee's business or our investment philosophy. Such changes might include a series of operating losses incurred by the investee that are deemed other than temporary, the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment or a change in the strategic reasons that were important when we originally entered into the joint venture. If an other-than-temporary-impairment were to occur, we would measure our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate at fair value.

Intangible asset amortization expense

We recorded $4.0 million and $8.8 million of intangible amortization expense during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $14.5 million and $11.9 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in amortization expense is attributable to our last two business combinations, which increased our intangible assets by $74.7 million.

We acquired $55.2 million of intangible assets in the July 1, 2016 acquisition of SPIG. Amortization of the SPIG intangible assets resulted in $1.9 million and $7.1 million of expense during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $7.3 million and $7.1 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We acquired $19.5 million of intangible assets in the January 11, 2017 acquisition of Universal. Amortization of the Universal intangible assets resulted in $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 and $2.6 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

We expect total intangible amortization expense of $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Market to market adjustments

During the first quarter of 2017, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a plan settlement of $0.4 million, which also resulted in interim mark to market accounting for the pension plan. The mark to market adjustment in the first quarter of 2017 was $0.7 million. The effect of these charges and mark to market adjustments are reflected in the $1.1 million "Recognized net actuarial loss." There were no significant plan settlements or interim mark to market adjustments during the second or third quarters of 2017.

During the second and third quarters of 2016, we recorded adjustments to our benefit plan liabilities resulting from certain curtailment and settlement events. In September 2016, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a $0.1 million pension plan settlement charge. In May 2016, the closure of our West Point, Mississippi manufacturing facility resulted in a $1.8 million curtailment charge in our United States pension plan. In April 2016, lump sum payments from our Canadian pension plan resulted in a $1.1 million plan settlement charge. These events resulted in interim mark to market accounting for the respective benefit plans in 2016. Mark to market charges in the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.5 million in our Canadian pension plan. Mark to market charges for our United States and Canadian pension plans were $27.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The pension mark to market charges were impacted by higher than expected returns on pension plan assets. The weighted-average discount rate used to remeasure the benefit plan liabilities at September 30, 2016 was 3.88%. The effect of these charges and mark to market adjustments are reflected in the "Recognized net actuarial loss."

Liquidity and capital resources


At September 30, 2017, ourMarch 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and long-term restricted cash totaled $48.1$102.5 million, and we had $209.7which included $58.6 million of restricted cash related to collateral for certain letters of credit. We had total borrowings ($247.2debt of $441.6 million face value before debt discounts).as well as $191.7 million of gross preferred stock outstanding. Our foreign business locations held $25.9 million of our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024. In general, our foreign cash balances are not available to fund our United StatesU.S. operations unless the funds are repatriated or used to repay intercompany loans made from the United StatesU.S. to foreign entities, which could expose us to taxes we presently have not made a provision for in our results of operations. $44.8 million of our $48.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 was held by foreign entities. We presently have no plans to repatriate these funds to the United States as we believe that our United States liquidity is sufficient to meet the anticipated cash requirements of our United States operations.

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash from operations, borrowings under our United States revolving credit facility and borrowings under foreign revolving credit facilities. Our borrowing capacity under our United States revolving credit facility is primarily limited by the financial covenants, which are most significantly affected by our trailing 12 months EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility). The significant loss accruals we recorded in the second quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2016 reduced our trailing 12 months EBITDA and, in turn, our ability to comply with our financial covenants. Accordingly, we amended our credit agreement in February 2017 and August 2017 to, among other things, provide covenant relief.

To provide additional liquidity, we entered into a second lien term loan facility on August 9, 2017 with an affiliate of American Industrial Partners ("AIP"). The second lien term loan facility consists of a second lien term loan in the principal amount of $175.9 million, all of which we borrowed on August 9, 2017, and a delayed draw term loan in the principal amount of $20.0 million, which may be drawn in a single draw prior to June 30, 2020, subject to certain conditions. On August 9, 2017, we used $125.0 million of the second lien term loan proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our United States revolving credit facility and pay fees and expenses related to the second lien term loan facility and the amendment of our United States revolving credit facility. The balance of the second lien term loan proceeds were used to repurchase approximately 4.8 million shares of our common stock held by an affiliate of AIP for approximately $50.9 million, which was one of the conditions precedent for the second lien term loan facility. As described in Note 18 to the

U.S.

43




condensed consolidated financial statements, the difference between the price paid for the shares and the estimated fair value of the shares repurchased was treated as a debt discount together with the direct financing costs.

We had approximately $94.7 million of availability under our United States revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2017. Based on the amended United States revolving credit and second lien term loan facilities, we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity at September 30, 2017 to meet our cash requirements. Our assessment is based on our operating forecast, backlog, cash on-hand, borrowing capacity, planned capital investments and ability to manage future discretionary cash outflows during the next 12 month period. We expect our operations to use cash over the full year of 2017 and into the first half of 2018, particularly in the Renewable segment, as we fund contract losses and work down advanced bill positions. Our forecasted use of cash over the next 12 months is expected to be funded in part through borrowings from our United States revolving credit facility. Our United States revolving credit facility allows for nearly immediate borrowing of available capacity to fund cash requirements in the normal course of business, meaning that the minimum United States cash on hand is maintained to minimize borrowing costs. After giving effect to the $50.0 million of unrestricted cash on hand required under our financial covenants, we expect to have between $73.0 million and $173.0 million of available borrowing capacity from our United States revolving credit facility during the next 12 months based on our forecast of the trailing 12 month EBITDA calculation and forecasted borrowings. We expect cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and our borrowing capacity under our United States revolving credit facility and second lien term loan facility to be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least 12 months from the date of this filing.

Our net cashCash used in operations was $150.8$14.9 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, comparedMarch 31, 2024, which is primarily attributable to cashthe year-to-date net loss of $16.8 million. Cash used in operations of $39.8was $12.9 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016. The change is partially attributableMarch 31, 2023, which was primarily attributed to the $228.3 million increase in ouryear-to-date net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Also, a $13.0 million net decrease in cash outflows associated with changes in accounts receivable, contracts in progress and advanced billings in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 resulted primarily from the timing of billings and stage of completion of large, ongoing contracts in our Renewable segment. Generally, we try to structure contract milestones to mirror our expected cash outflows over the course of the contract; however, the timing of milestone receipts can greatly affect our overall cash position. Our portfolio of Renewable energy contracts at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included milestone payments from our customers in advance of incurring the contract expenses, and as a result we are in an advance bill position on most of these contracts at both dates. Because of the advanced bill positions, combined with the increase in expected costs to complete the Renewable loss contracts, we expect the use of cash by the Renewable segment to continue during 2017 and into the first half of 2018 until these contracts are completed. Partially offsetting these operating cash outflows was a $25.6 million decrease in operating cash outflows associated with changes in contract related accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.$12.5 million.


Our net cashCash flows used in investing activities was $57.9$2.8 million and $2.2 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and $191.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The net cash used in investing activities was2023, respectively, primarily attributabledue to the $52.5 million acquisition of Universal on January 11, 2017, net of $4.4 million cash acquired in the business combination (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $143.0 million acquisition of SPIG, net of $26.0 million cash acquired, and a $26.2 million contribution to increase our interest in TBWES, our joint venture in India. Capital expenditures were $10.7 million and $20.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.capital expenditures.


Our net cashCash flows provided by financing activities was $155.5of $51.3 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, comparedMarch 31, 2024, primarily due to $64.6 million of cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a result of net borrowings from our United States revolving credit facilityon the Axos Credit Agreement of $49.1$61.6 million, which were used to fund our working capital needs andoffset by the Universal acquisition. In addition, cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included proceeds from the issuancepayment of the second lien term loanpreferred dividend of $141.7 million, which were used to repurchase $16.7 million of shares from a related party, fund debt issuance costs and repay a portion of our United States revolving credit facility.

Debt Facilities

United States revolving credit facility

On May 11, 2015,this Quarterly Report, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders ("Credit Agreement") in connection with our spin-off from The Babcock & Wilcox Company. Thenew Credit Agreement which is scheduledwith Axos in January 2024. B. Riley, a related party, has provided a guaranty of payment with regard to mature on June 30, 2020, provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility, initially in an aggregate amount of up to $600 million. The proceeds of loansour obligations under the Credit Agreement. This agreement substantially replaces the existing Reimbursement Agreement, are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, and the full amount is available to support the issuance of letters of credit.

On February 24, 2017 and August 9, 2017, we entered into amendments to theRevolving Credit Agreement (the “Amendments” and theLetter of Credit Agreement, as amended to date, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other things: (1) permit us to incur the debt under the second lien term loan facility, (2) modify the definition of EBITDA in the Amended Credit Agreement to exclude: up to $98.1 million of charges for certain Renewable segment contracts for periods including the quarter ended December 31, 2016, up to $115.2 million of charges for certain Renewable segment contracts for periods including the quarter ended June 30, 2017, up to $4.0 million of aggregate restructuring expenses incurred during the period from July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 measured on a consecutive four-quarter basis, realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses resulting from the impact of foreign currency changes on the valuation of assets and liabilities, and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the August 9, 2017 amendment, (3) replace the maximum leverage ratio with a maximum senior debt leverage ratio, (4) decrease the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, (5) limit our ability to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement during the covenant relief period to $250.0 million in the aggregate, (6) reduce commitments under the revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $500.0 million, (7) require us to maintain liquidity (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least $75.0 million as of the last business day of any calendar month, (8) require us to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility (without any reduction in commitments) with certain excess cash, (9) increase the pricing for borrowings and commitment fees under the Amended Credit Agreement, (10) limit our ability to incur debt and liens during the covenant relief period, (11) limit our ability to make acquisitions and investments in third parties during the covenant relief period, (12) prohibit us from paying dividends and undertaking stock repurchases during the covenant relief period (other than our share repurchase from an affiliate of AIP), (13) prohibit us from exercising the accordion described below during the covenant relief period, (14) limit our financial and commercialAgreement. We are transitioning letters of credit outstanding under the AmendedLetter of Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement to the Axos Credit Agreement. We believe all outstanding letters of credit will be transitioned to the Axos Credit Agreement by June 30, 2024, at which time the Letter of Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement is expected to be terminated.

On April 30, 2024, we, along with certain subsidiaries as guarantors, the lenders party to the Credit Agreement , and Axos, as administrative agent, entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment, among other things, amends the terms of the Credit Agreement to $30.0 million duringincrease the covenant relief period, (15) require usamounts available to reduce commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement with the proceeds of certain debt issuances and asset sales, (16) beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2017, limit to no more than $25.0 million any cumulative net income losses attributable to certain Vølund projects, and (17) increase reporting obligations and require us to hire a third-party consultant. The covenant relief period will end, at our election, when the conditions set forthbe borrowed based on inventory in the Amended Credit Agreement are satisfied, but in no event earlier than the date on which we provide the compliance certificate for our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Other than during the covenant relief period, the Amended Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of increased commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from new lenders, to increase the amount of the commitmentsborrowing base under the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (1) $200.0 million plus (2) an unlimited amount, so long as for any commitment increase under this subclause (2) our senior leverage ratio (assuming the full amount of any commitment increase under this subclause (2) is drawn) is equal to or less than 2.0:1.0 after giving pro forma effect thereto. During the covenant relief period, our ability to exercise the accordion feature will be prohibited.

After giving effect to Amendments, loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at our option at either (1) the LIBOR rate plus 5.0% per annum or (2) the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent's prime rate) plus 4.0% per annum. A commitment fee of 1.0% per annum is charged on the unused portions of the revolving credit facility. A letter of credit fee of 2.50% per annum is charged with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit outstanding, and a letter of credit fee of 1.50% per annum is charged with respect to the amount of each performance and commercial letter of credit outstanding. Additionally, an annual facility fee of $1.5 million is payable on the first business day of 2018 and 2019, and a pro rated amount is payable on the first business day of 2020.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted senior debt leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement is:
6.00:1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,
8.50:1.0 for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018,

6.25:1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2018,
4.00:1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2018,
3.75:1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2018,
3.25:1.0 for each of the quarters ending March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, and
3.00:1.0 for each of the quarters ending September 30, 2019 and each quarter thereafter.

The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement is:(the "Increased Inventory Period"). In 2024, the Increased Inventory Period commences on April 30 and ends on July 31 and would provide approximately $6.0 million additional available borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Increased Inventory Period is available to us upon our election in subsequent years (subject to a $75,000 fee if we make such an election), and commences on March 1 and ends on July 31.
1.50:1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,
1.00:1.0 for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2017 andAt March 31, 2018,
1.25:1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2018,

1.75:1.0 for each of the quarters ending March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, and
2.00:1.0 for each of the quarters ending September 30, 2019 and each quarter thereafter.

Beginning with September 30, 2017, consolidated capital expenditures in each fiscal year are limited to $27.5 million.

At September 30, 2017,2024, usage under the AmendedCredit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement consisted of $58.9 million in borrowings at an effective interest rate of 6.88%, $7.7$11.5 million of financial letters of credit and $87.2$68.1 million of performance letters of credit. At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $94.7 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements primarily based on trailing 12 month EBITDA, and our leverage (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) ratio was 3.00 and our interest coverage ratio was 2.59. In addition, through September 30, 2017, we have used $11.6 million of the $25.0 million of permitted net income loss attributable to Vølund projects. At September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, and we forecast our compliance with the financial covenants to be closest to the minimum thresholds at March 31, 2018.2024.


We plan to execute the actions necessary to enable us to maintain compliance with the financialLetters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and other covenants described above. We believe we will accomplish our plans to maintain compliance with our financial and other covenants, and believe our cash on hand, proceeds from potential future asset sales, cash flows from operations and amounts available under our United States revolving credit facility will be adequate to enable us to fund our operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful. Our ability to generate cash flows from operations, access funding under reasonable terms, contract business with reasonable terms and conditions and comply with our financial and other covenants may be impacted by a variety of business, economic, regulatory and other factors, which may be outsideSurety Bonds

Certain of our control. Such factors include, butsubsidiaries, that are not limited to: our ability to access capital markets and complete asset dispositions, delay or cancellation of projects, decreased profitability on our projects due to matters not reasonably forecasted, changes in the timing of cash flows on our projects due to the timing of receipts and required payments of liabilities and funding of our loss projects, the timing of approval or settlement of change orders and claims, changes in foreign currency exchange or interest rates, performance of pension plan assets or changes in actuarially determined liabilities. In addition, we could be impacted if our customers experience a material change in their ability to pay us or if the banks associated with our lending facilities were to cease or reduce operations. Also, we have what we believe is adequate capacity to provide letters of credit and secure surety bonds in support of current and future projects, but there can be no assurance that these will be renewed or available at reasonable commercial terms in the future.

Second lien term loan

On August 9, 2017, we entered into a second lien credit agreement (the "Second Lien Credit Agreement") with an affiliate of AIP governing a second lien term loan facility. The second lien term loan facility consists of a second lien term loan in the principal amount of $175.9 million, all of which we borrowed on August 9, 2017, and a delayed draw term loan facility in the principal amount of up to $20.0 million, which may be drawn in a single draw prior to June 30, 2020, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the second lien term loan, other than the delayed draw term loan, bear interest at 10% per annum, and borrowings under the delayed draw term loan bear interest at 12% per annum, in each case payable quarterly. Undrawn amounts under the delayed draw term loan accrue a commitment fee at a rate of 0.50% per annum. The second lien term loan has a scheduled maturity of December 30, 2020. Any delayed draw borrowings would also have a scheduled maturity of December 30, 2020. In connection with our entry into the second lien term loan facility, we used a portion of the proceeds from the second lien term loan to repurchase approximately 4.8 million shares of our common stock (approximately 10% of our shares outstanding) held by an affiliate of AIP for approximately $50.9 million, which was one of the conditions precedent for the second lien term loan facility.

Borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are (1) guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, but excluding our captive insurance subsidiary, and (2) secured by second-priority liens on certain assets owned by us and the guarantors. The Second Lien Credit Agreement requires interest payments on loans on a periodic basis until maturity. Voluntary prepayments made during the first year after closing are subject to a make-whole premium, voluntary prepayments made during the second year after closing are subject to a a 3.0% premium and voluntary prepayments made during the third year after closing are subject to a 2.0% premium. The Second Lien Credit Agreement requires us to make certain prepayments on any outstanding loans after receipt of cash proceeds from certain asset sales or other events, subject to certain exceptions and a right to reinvest such proceeds in certain circumstances, and subject to certain restrictions contained in an intercreditor agreement among the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants, financial covenants and events of default substantially similar to those contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, subject to appropriate cushions. The Second Lien Credit Agreement is generally less restrictive than the Amended Credit Agreement.

Foreign revolving credit facilities

Outsideprimarily outside of the United States, we have revolving credit facilities in Turkey, China and India that are used to provide working capital to our operations in each country. These three foreign revolving credit facilities allow us to borrow up to $14.8 million in aggregate and each have a one year term. At September 30, 2017, we had $12.4 million in borrowings outstanding under these foreign revolving credit facilities at an effective weighted-average interest rate of 5.17%.

Other credit arrangements

Certain subsidiaries have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees in associatedassociation with contracting activity. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees not secured by the United States revolving credit facilityoutside of our Letter of Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 20162024 was $279.1$39.0 million. The aggregate value of the outstanding letters of credit provided under the Letter of Credit Agreement backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $17.2 million and $255.2as of March 31, 2024. Of the outstanding letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Agreement, $48.0 million respectively.are subject to foreign currency revaluation.


We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain projects.contracts. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our surety bonding capacity, we believe our current capacity is more than adequate to support our existing project requirements for the next 12 months. In addition, theseThese bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under theour applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds thosethe underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $472.3$146.8 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit backstopping surety bonds was $15.3 million.


Our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient capacity under our current debt facilities is essential to allow us to support the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds. Without sufficient capacity, our ability to support contract security requirements in the future will be diminished.

Other Indebtedness - Loans Payable
44



As of March 31, 2024, we had loans payable of $103.2 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, of which $4.5 million is classified as current, and $98.7 million as long-term loans payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This includes $90.1 million on the revolving debt facilities, which is comprised of $36.8 million drawn on the revolving credit portion of the facility and $53.3 million drawn on the letter of credit portion, and $12.1 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, see "Critical Accounting Policies"Policies and Estimates" in ourthe Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2024 from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Our exposuresexposure to market risks could changehas not changed materially from those disclosed under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in ourthe Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and our investment portfolio, which primarily consists of investments in United States Government obligations and highly liquid money market instruments denominated in United States dollars. We are averse to principal loss and seek to ensureReport on Form 10-K for the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. Our investments are classified as available-for-sale.year ended December 31, 2023.


Although the condensed and consolidated balance sheets do not present debt at fair value, our second lien term loan facility is fixed-rate debt, the fair value of which could fluctuate as a result of changes in prevailing market rates. On September 30, 2017, its principal balance was $175.9 million. Our United States revolving credit facility is variable-rate debt, so its fair

value would not be significantly affected by changes in prevailing market rates. On September 30, 2017, its principal balance was $58.9 million.
We have operations in many foreign locations, and, as a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange ("FX") rates or weak economic conditions in those foreign markets. Our primary foreign currency exposures are Danish kroner, Great British pound, Euro, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan. In order to manage the risks associated with FX rate fluctuations, we attempt to hedge those risks with FX derivative instruments, but there can be no assurance that such instruments will be available to us on reasonable terms. Historically, we have hedged those risks with FX forward contracts. We do not enter into speculative derivative positions. During the third quarter of 2017, our hedge counterparties removed the lines of credit supporting new FX forward contracts. Subsequently, we have not entered into any new FX forward contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure controlsControls and proceduresProcedures


As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company'sour management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as(as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) ofadopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Disclosure controls

Based on this evaluation and procedures are the controls and processes that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. The design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot provide absolute assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

On January 11, 2017, we acquired Universal, which would have represented approximately 3% of our total consolidated assets and consolidated revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. As the acquisition occurred during the last 12 months, the scope of our assessmentbecause of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures does not includepreviously-reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, related to Universal. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our internal control over financial reporting scope in the year of acquisition.

Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded thethat our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective dueas of March 31, 2024.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024 were not effective, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Remediation Plan and Status

As of March 31, 2024, the material weaknesses previously disclosed have not yet been remediated. In response to the material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, that we reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 at Vølund, a business unit within our Renewable segment, which remains unremediated as of September 30, 2017. Our management has completed all steps designedinitiated remediation efforts, which includes:
continuing to remediatehire qualified accounting professionals;
developing and providing additional training to the accounting and financial reporting team;
designing and implementing additional and/or enhanced controls in the areas of account reconciliations, contract accounting, financial statement analysis and complex and/or non-routine transactions;
enhancing controls over IT user access and segregation of duties; and,
developing and implementing a monitoring program to evaluate and assess whether controls are present and functioning appropriately.

We will continue to work towards full remediation of the material weakness at September 30, 2017; however, theweaknesses to improve our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness at Vølund cannotweaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new processes and procedures have been in placeredesigned controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has determinedconcluded, through testing, that thethese controls are effective. Management expectsdesigned and operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the material weakness at Vølund will be remediated at December 31, 2017; however, our remediation plans cannot guarantee the material weakness will be remediated by a specific future date or at all.

We are committed to continuing to improveeffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to review our financial reporting processes and internal controls at Vølund. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify additional measures to addressin the areas affected by the material weakness at Vølund. Our management, with the oversight of the audit and finance committee of our board of directors, will continue to assess and take steps to enhance the overall design and capability of our control environment in the future.weaknesses.

Changes in internal control over financial reportingInternal Control Over Financial Reporting


During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we finalized the implementation of a new financial consolidation, planning and reporting system. The new system replaces the legacy system we used under a service agreement with our former Parent. In connection with the implementation, we updated the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate relatedThere were no changes to our accounting procedures and business processes. Although the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting have been affected by the system implementation, we do not believe the implementation of the financial consolidation, planning and reporting system has had or will have a material adverse effect on ourin internal control over financial reporting (as defined inby Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management has taken steps to ensure that appropriate internal controls are designed and implemented. The new system and associated internal controls were subject to testing and data reconciliation during implementation.

Other than the system change described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitations in Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls, will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake or fraud. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals or groups of persons or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements in our public reports due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
