Babcock Wilcox Enterprises Inc

MARCH 31, 2024

NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W,” “management,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented 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;

•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 onthree 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 2 –LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share of our common stock, net of non-controlling interest and dividends on preferred stock:

Basic and diluted weighted average shares are the same because we incurred a net loss in thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 if we had net income, we would have hadno additional dilutive shares. If we had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 we would have included 0.4 million in diluted shares.

We would have excluded 2.4 million and 2.2 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 -ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of 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, 2023, we met 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:

The following table provides the major classes of assets and liabilities of the disposal group included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The significant components included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the discontinued operations are as follows:

Contracts

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, seven contracts were terminated, resulting in gross profit of $1.2 million. There wereno 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 B&W Solar recognized changes in estimated gross profit related to long-term contracts accounted for on the over time basis, which are summarized below:

(1) Includes the $1.2 million contract termination benefit noted above.

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 ofthe remaining performance obligations as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 4 –SEGMENT REPORTING

We assess our operations based onthree reportable segments as described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An analysis of our operations by segment is as follows:

At a segment level, the adjusted EBITDA presented below is consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") 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, legal and settlement costs, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs, product development costs, costs and operating income from contracts being terminated, and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management and are not allocated to the segment. The following table is provided to reconcile our segment performance metrics to loss before income tax expense.

(1)Certain 2023 amounts have been reclassified in the reconciliation to conform to the 2024 presentation.

We do not separately identify or report assets by segment as our CODM does not consider assets by segment to be a critical measure by which performance is measured.

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. We also earn revenue from the supply of custom-engineered cooling systems for steam applications and related 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engi neered 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.

Contract Balances

The following represents the components of the Contracts in progress and Advance billings on contracts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

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 64%,17% and 19% of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2024, 2025 and thereafter, respectively.

During each of 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:

NOTE 6 –INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The components of inventories are as follows:

NOTE 7 –PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT & FINANCE LEASES

Property, plant and equipment less accumulated depreciation is as follows:

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 circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists.

There wereno indicators of goodwill impairment identified for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

The following summarizes the changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill as of March 31, 2024:

NOTE 9 –INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are as follows:

The following summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets, net:

Amortization of intangible assets is included in Cost of operations and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations but is not allocated to segment results.

Estimated future intangible asset amortization expense as of March 31, 2024 is as follows:

NOTE 10 –ACCRUED WARRANTY EXPENSE

We may offer assurance type warranties on products and services sold to customers. Changes in the carrying amount of accrued warranty expense are as follows:

We record estimated expense included in Cost of operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenues on the related contracts, or in the case of a loss contract, the full amount of the estimated warranty cost is accrued when the contract becomes a loss contract. In addition, we record specific adjustments when we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly differ from the estimates. Such changes could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 11 –RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

We incurred restructuring charges (benefits) in each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The charges (benefits) primarily consist of legal fees and costs related to actions taken as part of our ongoing strategic, market-focused organizational and re-branding initiative.

The following table summarizes the restructuring activity incurred by segment:

Restructuring liabilities are included in Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Activity related to the restructuring liabilities is as follows:

The payments shown above for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 relate primarily to severance and facility closure costs. Accrued restructuring liabilities at March 31, 2024 and 2023 relate primarily to employee termination benefits.

NOTE 12 –PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) included in net loss are as follows:

(1)Benefit plans, net, which is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, is not allocated to the segments.

(2)Service cost related to a small group of active participants is presented within Cost of operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and is recorded at the B&W Thermal segment level.

There were no MTM adjustments for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

We made contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans totaling $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The components of senior notes outstanding at December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Revolving and Letter of Credit Agreements with Axos

We entered into a credit agreement in January 2024, with certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Axos, as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer (the "Credit Agreement").

The Credit Agreement provides for an up to $150.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (with availability subject to a borrowing base calculation) ("Credit Facility"), including a $100.0 million letter of credit sublimit. Our obligations under the

Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. B. Riley has provided a guaranty of payment with regard to our obligations under the Credit Agreement, as further described below. We used and expect to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Credit Agreement to (i) pay off our prior revolving credit facility with PNC, (ii) provide for working capital needs, (iii) provide cash collateral to secure letters of credit to be issued under the Credit Agreement, and (iv) provide for general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 18, 2027, provided that if as of August 30, 2025 the 8.125% Senior Notes and 6.50% Senior Notes have not been refinanced pursuant to a Permitted Refinancing, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or the maturity date has not otherwise been extended to a date on or after July 18, 2027, then the maturity date of the Credit Agreement is August 30, 2025.

The interest rates applicable under the Credit Agreement are: (i) with respect to SOFR Loans, (a) SOFR plus 5.25% if the outstanding principal amount of loans is equal to or less than $100.0 million or (b) SOFR plus 4.00% if the outstanding principal amount of loans is equal to or greater than $100.0 million; (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00% plus the Applicable Margin, (b) the prime rate as designated by Axos plus the Applicable Margin, and (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.00% plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) with respect to the default rate under the Credit Agreement, the then-existing interest rate plus 2.00%.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, we are required to pay (i) an origination fee of $1.5 million, (ii) a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum multiplied by the positive difference by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Revolvings Outstanding (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to adjustment, (iii) a facility fee equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans multiplied by the positive difference by which the actual daily amount of L/C Obligations the Administrative Agent is then holding Specified Cash Collateral exceeds the actual daily Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, and (iv) a collateral monitoring fee of $1,000 per month. We are permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Agreement prior to maturity subject to the payment of an early termination fee. The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances, including in the event of an overadvance.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of B&W and each of the guarantors, in each case subject to intercreditor arrangements. The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including a quarterly fixed charge coverage test, a quarterly total net leverage ratio test, a cash repatriation covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant, an annual cap on maintenance capital expenditures and a limit on unrestricted cash.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the Credit Agreement, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Credit Agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, Axos may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement may become due and payable immediately. At March 31, 2024, we are in compliance with all financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we entered into with B. Riley (i) a guaranty agreement in favor of (a) Axos, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and (b) such Secured Parties (the “B. Riley Guaranty”) and (ii) a fee and reimbursement agreement, made by B. Riley and accepted and agreed to by us (the “B. Riley Fee Agreement”). The B. Riley Guaranty provides for the guarantee of all of our obligations under the Credit Agreement. The B. Riley Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others, certain events of default and the acceleration of our obligations under the Credit Agreement. The B. Riley Fee Agreement provides, among other things, for an annual fee to be paid to B. Riley by us in an annual amount equal to 2.00% of Aggregate Revolving Commitments under the Credit Agreement (or approximately $3 million) as consideration for B. Riley’s agreements and commitments under the B. Riley Guaranty. The B. Riley Fee Agreement also requires us to reimburse B. Riley to the extent the B. Riley Guaranty is called upon by the agent or lenders under the Credit Agreement and requires us to execute a junior secured promissory note with respect to the same within 60 days after the execution of the B. Riley Fee Agreement (or such other date as B. Riley may agree to).

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 increase the amounts available to be borrowed based on inventory in the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement (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.

At March 31, 2024, we had a total of $90.1 million outstanding on the Axos Credit Agreement, which includes $36.8 million drawn on the revolving credit portion of the facility and $53.3 million drawn on the letter of credit portion. At March 31, 2024, cash collateralizing the letters of credit totaling $53.3 million is classified as Restricted cash, of which $11.9 million is classified as current and $41.4 million as long-term.

As of March 31, 2024, Loans payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to the amounts outstanding on our revolving debt facilities, Loans payable also includes $12.1 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions.

As of December 31, 2023, we had Loans payable of $41.6 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, of which $6.2 million is classified as current and $35.4 million as long-term loans payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Included in these amounts was approximately $12.3 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions.

Revolving and Letter of Credit Agreements with PNC and MSD

In June 2021, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with PNC, as administrative agent and a letter of credit agreement (the “Letter of Credit Agreement”) with PNC, pursuant to which PNC agreed to issue up to $110.0 million in letters of credit that is secured in part by cash collateral provided by MSD, as well as a reimbursement, guaranty and security agreement with MSD, as administrative agent, and the cash collateral providers from time to time party thereto, along with certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, pursuant to which we are obligated to reimburse MSD and any other cash collateral provider to the extent the cash collateral provided by MSD and any other cash collateral provider to secure the Letter of Credit Agreement is drawn to satisfy draws on letters of credit (the “Reimbursement Agreement” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement, the “Debt Facilities”). Our obligations under the Debt Facilities were guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries. B. Riley, a related party, provided a guaranty of payment with regard to our obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. The Debt Facilities were effectively replaced by the Axos Credit Agreement in January 2024. The Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated in connection with our entry into the Axos Credit Agreement and we are transitioning letters of credit outstanding under the Letter 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. We recognized a Loss on debt extinguishment of $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees on the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Letter of Credit Agreement requires fees on outstanding letters of credit equal to (i) administrative fees of 0.75% and (ii) fronting fees of 0.25%. Prepayments under the Reimbursement Agreement are subject to a prepayment fee of 2.25% in the first year after closing,2.0% in the second year after closing and 1.25% in the third year after closing with no prepayment fee payable thereafter. We have mandatory prepayment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement upon the receipt of proceeds from certain dispositions or casualty or condemnation events.

The obligations under the Debt Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets and each of the guarantors, in each case subject to inter-creditor arrangements. As noted above, the obligations under the Letter of Credit Facility are also secured by the cash collateral provided by MSD and any other cash collateral provider thereunder.

The Debt Documents contain certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Debt Documents also contain customary events of default (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the respective facility, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the applicable debt agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all then-outstanding amounts under the Debt Facilities may become due and payable immediately.

In November 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Reimbursement Agreement (the “Third Amended Reimbursement Agreement”), which modified certain financial maintenance covenants for future periods beginning with the fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2023. The Third Amended Reimbursement Agreement also imposed a leverage condition to the payment of dividends on preferred equity, which required us to provide a quality of earnings report and pay a $1.0 million fee to MSD prior to paying a dividend for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023. The interest rates applicable to the Third Amended Reimbursement Agreement float at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 10% through December 31, 2023, SOFR plus 11% from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024 and will increase by 50 basis points as of the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

In March 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Reimbursement Agreement (the "Fourth Amended Reimbursement Agreement"), which modified certain financial maintenance covenants for periods beginning with the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2023. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was amended to 0.93 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023,0.82 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024,0.90 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024,0.95 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024,1.1 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024, and 1.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025 and thereafter. The Senior Net Leverage Ratio condition to payment of any Permitted Restricted Payments, as defined in the Fourth Amended Reimbursement Agreement, was amended to 1.45 to 1.0 for the four quarter fiscal measurement period ending as of December 31, 2023 and 1.25 to 1.0 thereafter. The Fourth Amended Reimbursement Agreement also amends the minimum cash flow covenants set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement to no less than $10.0 million as of December 31, 2023 (for the preceding fiscal quarter), no less than $15.0 million as of December 31, 2024 (for the preceding fiscal year), and no less than $25.0 million as of December 31 of each fiscal year thereafter. The Applicable Margin with respect to Delayed Draw Term Loans and Cash Collateral Commitment Fees will increase by an additional 0.50% on each of April 30, 2024, July 1, 2024, October 1, 2024, January 1, 2025 and April 1, 2025 in each case if the Obligations are in excess of $15 million on the applicable date. At March 31, 2024, we are in compliance with all financial and other covenants contained in the Letter of Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement.

A summary of usage of letters of credit under the domestic facilities is as follows. Due to the timing of the transition of our Letter of Credit Arrangements from PNC and MSD to Axos, balances as of March 31, 2024 are primarily with Axos and balances as of March 31, 2023 are with PNC and MSD.

Other Letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds

Certain of our subsidiaries, that are primarily outside of the United States, have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees in association with contracting activity.

We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain contracts. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. These bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under our applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds the underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity.

The following table provides a summary of outstanding letters of credit issued outside of the domestic facilities, and outstanding surety bonds:

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.

NOTE 14 –CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

During thethree months ending March 31, 2024, our Board of Directors approved dividends tota ling $3.7 million toholders of the Preferred Stock. There wereno cumulative undeclared dividends of the Preferred Stock at March 31, 2024, and all declared dividends have been paid as of April 1, 2024.

Common Stock

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 Statements for additional discussion of the Sales Agreement.

NOTE 15 –INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consisted of the following components:

The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash, cash equivalents and Current and Long-term restricted cash reporting within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

(1) We added $2.0 million in project indemnity restricted cash collateral for a letter of credit agreement during the first quarter of 2024.

(2) Beginning in January 2024, we drew $53.3 million on the Axos Credit Agreement for letter of credit collateral, which is reflected in Current and Long-term restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3) The purchase price for FPS was $59.2 million, and included an initial hold-back of $5.9 million which was included in Current restricted cash and cash equivalents and Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The final payment was made in the amount of $3.0 million during the first quarter of 2024.

(4) On December 15, 2021, we entered into an agreement to place $11.4 million in an escrow account as security to ensure project performance. The remaining amount of $0.3 million will be reclassified from Long-term restricted cash to Current restricted cash on September 30, 2024, with a scheduled final settlement on September 30, 2025.

NOTE 16 –PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, income tax expense from continuing operations was $1.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (8.9)%. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, income tax expense from continuing operations was $0.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (4.0)%.

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.

We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the United States federal statutory rate of 21%. The most significant of these foreign operations are located in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with effective tax rates ranging between approximately 19% and 30%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions where we have operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary in both nominal rates and the basis on which these rates are applied. The consolidated effective income tax rate can vary from period to period due to these foreign income tax rate variations, changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income, and valuation allowances.

NOTE 17 –CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Relating to Boiler Installation and Supply Contract

On December 27, 2019, a complaint was filed against us by P.H. Glatfelter Company (“Glatfelter”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 1:19-cv-02215-JPW, alleging claims of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the “Glatfelter Litigation”). The complaint alleges damages in excess of $58.9 million. On March 16, 2020 we filed a motion to dismiss, and on December 14, 2020 the court 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 unjust 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 will be subject to the contractual cap on liability (defined as the $11.7 million purchase 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 action. However, given the uncertainty inherent in the litigation, it is too early to determine if the outcome of the Glatfelter Litigation will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

Due to the nature of our business, from time to time, we are involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things: performance or warranty-related matters under our customer and supplier contracts and other business arrangements; and workers' compensation, premises liability and other claims. Based on prior experience, except as disclosed above, we do not expect that any of these other litigation proceedings, disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 18 –COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) AOCI are generally reclassified and recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations once they are realized. The changes in the components of AOCI, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

The amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component and the affected Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations line items are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 19 –FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables summarize financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value, all of which were valued from readily available prices or using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets (known as "Level 1" and "Level 2" inputs, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).

Available-For-Sale Securities

Investments in available-for-sale securities are presented in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0-5 years.

Senior Notes

See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the senior notes. The fair value of the senior notes is based on readily available quoted market prices as of March 31, 2024:

Other Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value amounts for other financial instruments:

•Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their highly liquid nature.

•Revolving Debt. We base the fair value of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair value on Level 2 inputs such as the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. The fair value of Revolving Debt approximated its carrying amount at March 31, 2024.

NOTE 20 –RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We believe transactions with related parties were conducted on terms equivalent to those prevailing in an arm's length transaction.

Transactions with B. Riley

Based on Schedule 13D filings with the SEC, B. Riley beneficially owns approxim ately 32.4%of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2024. B. Riley currently has the right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors pursuant to the investor rights agreement we entered into with B. Riley in April 2019. The investor rights agreement also provides pre-emptive rights to B. Riley with respect to certain future issuances of our equity securities.

As described further in Note 22, in April 2024, we entered into a sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., among others, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our common stock. B. Riley will be entitled to compensation equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the shares sold through it as the designated Agent.

As described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in connection with our entry into the Axos Credit Agreement in January 2024, we entered into a guaranty agreement and a fee and reimbursement agreement with B. Riley. The B. Riley Guaranty provides for the guarantee of all of our obligations under the Credit Agreement. The B. Riley Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others, certain events of default and the acceleration of our obligations under the Credit Agreement. The B. Riley Fee Agreement provides, among other things, for us to pay an annual fee to B. Riley equal to 2.00% of Aggregate Revolving Commitments under the Credit Agreement (or approximately $3 million) as consideration for B. Riley’s agreements and commitments under the B. Riley Guaranty. The B. Riley Fee Agreement also requires us to reimburse B. Riley to the extent the B. Riley Guaranty is called upon by the agent or lenders under the Credit Agreement and requires us to execute a junior secured promissory note with respect to the same within 60 days after the execution of the B. Riley Fee Agreement (or such other date as B. Riley may agree to).

We entered into an agreement with BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC, an affiliate of B. Riley, in November 2018 and amended the agreement in November 2020 and December 2023 to retain the services of Mr. Kenneth Young, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer until December 31, 2028, unless terminated by either party with thirty days written notice. Under this agreement, payments are $0.75 million per annum, paid monthly. Subject to the achievement of certain performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, a bonus or bonuses may also be earned and payable to BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC.

NOTE 21 –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 the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The new guidance is intended to align 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 interim and annual periods and expands the ASC 280 disclosure requirements for interim periods. The ASU also explicitly requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new disclosures under the ASU. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are 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 common 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 on Form S-3 initially filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on November 22, 2021. A prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Shares 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 proceeds 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 not determinable at this time.

The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Agents, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Through May 3, 2024, we have sold 1.5 million shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
