(As compared to the third quarter 2025)

• Total revenue of $22.3 million, +48% y/y
• GAAP loss from continuing operations of ($1.0) million, or ($0.04) per diluted share
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million, or 2.0% of total revenue*
• Total orders of $33.7 million, +13% y/y

*For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please see the appendix of this release. As previously announced, on April 30, 2026, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (“Heavy Fabrications”) entered into a definitive agreement under which Heavy Fabrications sold its production facility in Abilene, Texas (the “Facility”), including real property, equipment, machinery and other items, to IES Infrastructure for an aggregate purchase price of $19.5 million in cash and non-cash consideration in the form of a below market lease, adjusted for certain customary closing items. The sale of the Facility resulted in the Company completing a strategic exit from wind fabrications. As such, the results of operations of the wind and industrial fabrication operations, excluding pressure reducing system (“PRS”) operations, have been reclassified to discontinued operations within Broadwind’s consolidated statements of operations and retrospectively for all periods presented beginning in the second quarter of 2026. Unless otherwise noted, the discussions and disclosure tables throughout this press release relate only to the Company’s continuing operations as disclosed.
**Pro forma for the acquisition of MCM and related credit facility amendment, as of September 30, 2026, total debt was approximately $13.0 million and available liquidity, consisting of cash and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility, was approximately $16.5 million.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“During the third quarter, we continued to execute on our strategic transformation into a pure-play precision manufacturing business focused on the domestic power generation and critical infrastructure markets,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “Both of our reporting segments grew revenue by more than 30% on an organic basis and delivered improved operating profitability when compared to the prior year, reflecting a targeted shift toward higher-value, more durable revenue streams.”

“Last week, we announced our first acquisition in nearly a decade with the purchase of MCM,” continued Blashford. “MCM is a vertically integrated component supplier serving the domestic electrical transmission and distribution sector. The acquisition positions Broadwind to capitalize on sustained, multi-year investment in domestic grid expansion, hardening and resilience, consistent with our vertical market focus. MCM is expected to be immediately accretive, adds a higher-margin revenue stream and enhances the quality of our earnings. Importantly, MCM aligns with the key criteria of our acquisition strategy: exposure to stable, growing end markets, a strong competitive moat, an accretive margin profile with consistent profitability, a fully domestic operating footprint and a seamless pathway toward integration.”

“Demand remained robust across our core power generation markets as we exited the third quarter,” noted Blashford. “Power generation-related orders accounted for more than 70% of our third-quarter order book and increased 18% year over year. Continued investment in natural gas-fired power generation drove order growth, as Industrial Solutions segment orders and backlog increased to record levels. Demand in our PRS business also improved, with orders of $4 million.”

“We delivered strong organic year-over-year sales growth and margin expansion across both our Industrial Solutions and Gearing segments during the third quarter,” continued Blashford. “Within both segments, higher sales volumes translated to improved operating leverage, as Adjusted EBITDA margin within the Industrial Solutions and Gearing segments increased more than 500 and 600 basis points, respectively, versus the prior-year period. Within the Gearing segment, the combination of improved commercial growth and efficient asset optimization culminated in its first operating profit since the second quarter 2024.”

“We ended the third quarter with $30.9 million of cash and availability under our credit facility before giving effect to the MCM acquisition,” stated Blashford. “On a pro forma basis, including the acquisition and the related credit facility amendment announced last week, total cash and availability under our credit facility was approximately $16.5 million and total debt was approximately $13 million. Looking ahead, our priorities include the successful integration of MCM, further optimization of our asset base in support of our vertical-market strategy, focused organic growth across new and existing customers within our core power generation and infrastructure markets, together with accretive bolt-on acquisitions that expand our capabilities, reach and unique value proposition.”

CONSOLIDATED THIRD QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Broadwind reported a loss from continuing operations of ($1.0) million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, in the third quarter 2026, compared to income of $5.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2025. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.5 million in the third quarter, compared to ($1.2) million in the prior year period. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please see the appendix of this release.

Revenue increased 48% on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter due to higher demand in the Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments, as well as higher PRS revenue. Industrial Solutions revenue grew 32% year over year, due primarily to strong demand for natural gas turbine content. Revenue from the Gearing segment grew 36% due primarily to increased demand across all end markets, led by power generation, industrial and oil & gas customers.

Total orders increased 13% in the third quarter, when compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by record Industrial Solutions orders tied to natural gas turbine demand and higher PRS orders.

At the end of the third quarter, Broadwind had total cash on hand and availability under its credit facility of $39.7 million, or $30.9 million after adjusting for the minimum excess availability requirement. The Company had $5.9 million of debt and financing leases.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company provides non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other stock payments, restructuring costs, impairment charges, other non-cash gains and losses, transaction costs, and the gain from the sale of the Manitowoc industrial fabrication operations) as supplemental information regarding the Company’s business performance. The Company’s management uses this supplemental information when it internally evaluates its performance, reviews financial trends and makes operating and strategic decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and future results, which allows investors to evaluate the Company’s performance using the same methodology and information as used by the Company’s management. The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.
