Insights

Broadwind's Q4 2024 results reflect challenging near-term conditions amid promising forward indicators. The company reported $33.6 million in quarterly revenue, resulting in a net loss of ($0.9) million or ($0.04) per share, compared to net income of $1.1 million in Q4 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2.1 million (6.4% of revenue) from $4.4 million in the prior year period.

The results show a significant deterioration across all segments, with Heavy Fabrications revenue down 30.8%, Gearing down 31.0%, and Industrial Solutions down 2.8%. Wind-related revenue specifically declined 27%, highlighting persistent weakness in the domestic onshore wind market.

However, forward-looking indicators present a more optimistic outlook. Q4 orders surged 85% year-over-year with a healthy book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x. The Industrial Solutions segment achieved record orders and backlog, driven by strong natural gas turbine demand. Consolidated backlog stands at $125.5 million.

Financially, Broadwind maintains a solid position with $33 million in total cash and credit availability and a conservative net debt to TTM adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.6x. For full-year 2024, the company remained profitable with net income of $1.2 million or $0.05 per share on $143.1 million in revenue.

Management's commentary focuses on order growth, diversification into new markets (hydroelectric, aeroderivative turbine, medical technology), and expected utilization improvements in 2025. The disconnect between current financial performance and growing order momentum suggests a potential inflection point ahead.

Broadwind's Q4 results highlight classic manufacturing cyclicality challenges with significant capacity utilization issues impacting profitability. The company's revenue decline across all segments - particularly the 30.8% drop in Heavy Fabrications and 31% in Gearing - has created substantial operational inefficiencies and poor fixed-cost absorption.

The shift from operating income to losses in the Gearing segment (from $0.7 million profit to $0.6 million loss) indicates how dramatically lower volumes impact high-fixed-cost manufacturing operations. At these reduced production levels, each facility likely operates well below optimal utilization thresholds where profitability becomes challenging.

However, the 85% order increase and 1.1x book-to-bill ratio represent important leading indicators for operations. Manufacturing efficiency metrics typically lag orders by 1-2 quarters as production schedules adjust. The $125.5 million backlog provides a foundation for production planning and should enable more predictable workflow through manufacturing cells.

Management's focus on "asset optimization" and "utilization rates" signals appropriate recognition of the core operational challenge. Their expectation of "improved fixed-cost absorption" in 2025 aligns with manufacturing economics fundamentals. The company's specialized manufacturing capabilities in large-scale technical fabrications remain differentiated, particularly valuable with policies favoring domestic production.

The transition from the current low-utilization environment to improved efficiency will require careful management of production ramp-up costs, labor scheduling, and supply chain coordination. The diverse end-markets now contributing to the order book should ultimately create more stable factory loading compared to previous wind-centric operations.

CICERO, Ill., March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind (Nasdaq: BWEN, or the “Company”), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024.

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

  • Total revenue of $33.6 million
  • Net loss of ($0.9) million, or ($0.04) per share
  • Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million, or 6.4% of total revenue
  • Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 0.6x as of December 31, 2024

FULL-YEAR 2024 RESULTS

  • Total revenue of $143.1 million
  • Net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share
  • Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million, or 9.3% of total revenue

Broadwind reported a net loss of ($0.9) million, or ($0.04) per share in the fourth quarter 2024, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per share, in the fourth quarter 2023. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to $4.4 million in the prior year period. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please see the appendix of this release.

Fourth quarter results were impacted by lower customer demand across each reporting segment, when compared to the prior year period, particularly within the Company’s wind and oil/gas end-markets. Total wind-related revenue within our heavy fabrication segment decreased 27% compared to the prior year period, as weakness in the domestic onshore wind activity persisted into the fourth quarter.  

Total orders increased 85% in the fourth quarter, when compared to the prior year period, benefiting from increased customer demand across all reporting segments and most of the Company’s vertical markets. Within the Industrial Solutions segment, orders and backlog reached record levels during the fourth quarter driven by demand for natural gas turbines. Consolidated backlog increased on a sequential basis to $125.5 million as of December 31, 2024.  

As of December 31, 2024, Broadwind had total cash on hand and availability under its credit facility of $33 million. The Company’s ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was 0.6x at the end of the fourth quarter 2024.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“While customer project activity remained below prior year levels during the fourth quarter, primarily due to lower activity within our wind and oil/gas markets, new orders increased to the highest level in nearly two years, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.1x in the period,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “We expect that a combination of increased order intake and recent cost-saving measures will enhance our operating leverage over the coming year, consistent with our strategic focus on profitable growth.”

“Total orders increased 85% in the fourth quarter versus the prior year period, supported by demand growth across nearly every customer end-market,” continued Blashford. “Orders within our industrial end-markets increased by more than 300% in the fourth quarter, while wind orders doubled as compared to the prior year period. While we expect our oil/gas markets to remain soft in the near-term, we anticipate ratable improvements in order activity across our diverse end-markets as we move through 2025.”

“Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, we received our first substantial order for large fabrications serving the hydroelectric market during the fourth quarter. Within our Gearing segment, we’ve continued to gain traction with new customers within the aeroderivative turbine and medical technology markets where our precision machining expertise is in high demand,” continued Blashford. “Natural gas turbine demand remained very strong in the fourth quarter, which continued to benefit our Industrial Solutions segment, which generated record orders and backlog in the period.”

“We remain highly focused on asset optimization, particularly with respect to utilization rates across our manufacturing system,” continued Blashford. “Recent order growth is expected to support a meaningful uplift in plant utilization in 2025, well above the levels experienced this past year. As order rates continue to recover, and backlog conversion accelerates, we intend to realize improved fixed-cost absorption across the Company during 2025.”

“On a full-year basis, we successfully advanced our strategic priorities during a period of softer demand, culminating in another year of profitability,” continued Blashford. “Our 100% U.S. manufacturing footprint, highly skilled domestic workforce, and depth of experience producing large-scale, technical fabrications remain highly valued competitive advantages, particularly in a policy environment that is expected to favor domestic manufacturers. Looking ahead, we remain focused on further expanding our commercial focus across high-value, growing end-markets, further improving our operational efficiency and asset utilization, while selectively deploying capital toward high-return intellectual property and manufacturing capabilities valued by our customers.”

“At the end of the fourth quarter, we had $33 million of available cash and liquidity to support our operations, which includes an advanced payment negotiated with a major customer late in the year,” noted Blashford. “As of December 31, 2024, our net leverage was 0.6x, well within our target range of at or below 2.0x.”

“Today, we introduced financial guidance for the full year 2025,” concluded Blashford. “While new U.S. onshore wind development is expected to remain muted over the coming year, we’re encouraged by the pace of order growth within our core, non-wind markets, which positions us for improved optimization of our manufacturing base over the coming year. Amidst a policy environment that favors domestic manufacturers, we believe that our business is well-positioned ahead of a cyclical demand recovery.”
