Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
DECEMBER 31, 2025
NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. Unless otherwise noted, discussion of our business and results of operations in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refers to our continuing operations.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As disclosed in our 2024 Form 10‑K, for the financial period ending and as of December 31, 2024, conditions and events were present and management's plan for mitigation were assessed as insufficient, such that we concluded there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Due to the various actions completed by management during 2025, including debt restructuring activities, repayment of outstanding debt balances, equity raises, and divestitures of non-core businesses, the Company's liquidity, financial condition and capital structure improved as of December 31, 2025 and through the date of this Form 10-K filing. As a result, we have concluded that conditions and events no longer raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Operations
Our operations are assessed based onone reportable segment as described in Note 6. For financial information about our segment see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 2 –SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
We use estimates and assumptions to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Our long-term contracts, warranty obligations, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, business combinations, tax assets, pension and postretirement plans, contingencies and litigation require the use of various management estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts we report in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. Management reviews our estimates on an on-going basis. Changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and affect our results of operations and financial position in future periods.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. We record cash and cash equivalents as current or long-term restricted cash when we are unable to freely use such cash and cash equivalents for general operating purposes. Refer to Note 17 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Trade accounts receivable and allowance for credit loss
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the point when customers are billed and represent the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for goods and services transferred and do not bear interest. We establish provisions for expected lifetime losses on accounts receivable based on customer credit quality and forecasted economic conditions. We regularly review our accounts receivable balances and the allowance for credit loss and establish or adjust the allowance as necessary using the specific identification method. Bad debt amounts charged to selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.2 million, $0.0 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The following table summarizes the Allowance for credit loss:
| Year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Balance at beginning of period | $1,302 | $1,537 |
| Charges to costs and expenses | 208 | (53) |
| Deductions | (40) | 38 |
| Currency translation adjustments and other (1) | 675 | (220) |
| Balance at end of period | $2,145 | $1,302 |
(1)2025 balance includes $0.8 million of assets no longer held for sale as of December 31, 2025, offset by other reclassifications and adjustments. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Contract balances
Contracts in progress, a current asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes revenues and related costs, plus accumulated contract costs that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the contracts. Advance billings, a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes amounts on contracts invoiced that exceed accumulated contract costs and revenues and costs recognized under the cost-to-cost input method. Those balances are classified as current based on the life cycle of the associated contracts. Most long-term contracts contain provisions for progress payments. Unbilled revenues do not contain an allowance for credit losses as the expectation is to invoice customers and collectively all amounts due are deemed probable. We review contract price and cost estimates each reporting period as the work progresses and reflect adjustments proportionate to the costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion in income in the period when those estimates are revised. For all contracts, if a current estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss on a contract, the projected contract loss is recognized in full in Costs of operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and an accrual for the estimated loss on the uncompleted contract is recorded in Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, when we determine that an incomplete contract will not be completed on time and the contract has liquidated damages provisions, we recognize the estimated liquidated damages at the most likely amount we will incur as a reduction of the estimated selling price in the period the change in estimate occurs. These amounts are included in Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out basis ("FIFO") basis. The obsolete inventory reserve was $4.6 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The components of inventories can be found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reported at depreciated cost, less any impairment provisions. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated economic useful lives ofeight to 33 years for buildings andthree to 28 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense was $4.8 million, $4.9 million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The costs of maintenance, repairs and renewals that do not materially prolong the useful life or increase the capacity of an asset are expensed as incurred.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset carrying amount over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Our estimates of cash flow may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes in operating performance. Any changes in such factors may result in future asset impairments and negatively affect our financial position and results of operations. We did not have any impairments relating to property, plant and equipment in for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.
We capitalize project costs, including pre-construction costs and other costs directly related and essential to the development, pre-construction, or construction of a project. Capitalization of development, pre-construction, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Fluctuations in our development, pre- construction, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Impairment of $3.7 million related primarily to construction in progress asset for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss (gain) on assets disposals for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were $1.2 million, $(0.4) million and $0.1 million.
Goodwill
Goodwill is generally recorded as a result of a business combination and represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable net assets acquired. We perform impairment testing of goodwill annually on October 1 or if we determine that impairment indicators are present. In assessing goodwill for impairment, we follow ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which permits a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, then no impairment is determined to exist for the reporting unit. However, if the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, or we choose not to perform the qualitative assessment, then we compare the fair value of that reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill, in a quantitative assessment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired with the impairment loss measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, over its fair value. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is derived based on valuation techniques we believe market participants would use for each of the reporting units.
The annual quantitative assessment was performed using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flows), the market approach and the guideline transaction method. The income approach uses the reporting unit's estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted-average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer to account for uncertainties within the projections. The income approach uses assumptions based on the reporting unit's estimated revenue growth, operating margin and working capital turnover. The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar characteristics to the reporting unit. The guideline transaction method estimates fair value by applying recent observed transaction multiples from transactions involving companies with similar characteristics to the reporting unit's business. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing for 2024 and 2025 and determined that the fair value of each reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our assessment.
If actual results are not consistent with the Company's estimates and/or other assumptions change, the Company may be exposed to future impairment charges that could materially and adversely impact its financial position and results of operations.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognized at fair value when acquired, generally as a result of a business combination. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized to operating expense using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and are subject to impairment testing at least annually or in interim periods when impairment indicators are present. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment to determine whether events or circumstances affecting significant inputs related to the most recent quantitative evaluation have occurred, indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Otherwise, we test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by determining the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and comparing the fair value to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized for the amount of the difference.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Right-of-use ("ROU") assets, Operating lease liabilities and Non-current operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Net property, plant and equipment and finance leases, Other accrued liabilities and Other non-current finance liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Since substantially all of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date is used to determine the present value of future payments. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are recognized when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded impairment of $1.0 million related to the reduction of our real estate footprint for the year ended December 31, 2025.
For leases beginning in 2019 and later, we account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) together with the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets.
Income taxes
Income tax expense for federal, foreign, state and local income taxes are calculated on taxable income based on the income tax law in effect at the latest balance sheet date and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We record interest and penalties (net of any applicable tax benefit) related to income taxes as a component of Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations
We classify assets and liabilities as held for sale when Management, with approval from the Board of Directors, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. We also consider whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We test for impairment when we classify a disposal group as held for sale in the following order. First, we evaluate for impairment all assets outside the scope of subtopic ASC 360-10 other than goodwill. Next, we evaluate goodwill and then the disposal group in its entirety. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value of the disposal group exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell. We also cease depreciation and amortization for assets classified as held for sale. When a decision to sell represents a strategic shift impacting our operations and financial results, the disposal group and related operations are reported as discontinued operations. For further discussion see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension plans and postretirement benefits
We sponsor various defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering certain employees of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and use actuarial valuations to calculate the cost and benefit obligations of pension and postretirement benefits. The actuarial valuations use significant assumptions in the determination of benefit cost and obligations, including assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, mortality and health care cost trends.
Included in our significant assumptions, we determine the discount rate based on a review of published financial data and discussions with our actuary regarding rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of our pension and postretirement plan obligations. We use an alternative spot rate method for discounting the benefit obligation rather than a single equivalent discount rate because it more accurately applies each year's spot rates to the projected cash flows. The components of benefit cost related to service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and prior service cost amortization are recorded on a quarterly basis based on actuarial assumptions. In the fourth quarter of each year, or as interim remeasurements are required, we recognize net actuarial gains or losses into earnings as a component of net periodic benefit cost (MTM pension adjustment). Recognized net actuarial gains and losses consist primarily of reported actuarial gains and losses and the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets.
We recognize the funded status of each plan as either an asset or a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the present value of the benefit obligation, determined on a plan-by-plan basis. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of our pension plans and postretirement benefits.
Loss per share
We have computed loss per common share on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares, and, where dilutive, common share equivalents, outstanding during the indicated periods. We have a number of forms of stock-based compensation, including incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. We include the shares applicable to these plans in dilutive loss per share when related performance criteria have been met. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share is included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue recognition
A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good 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 goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services, accounted for 3% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon shipment or delivery and acceptance by the customer. Standard commercial payment terms generally apply to these sales.
Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 97% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue recognized over time primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input method that uses costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying our performance obligations. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material, overhead and, when appropriate, SG&A expenses. Variable consideration in these contracts includes estimates of contractual bonuses and penalties, contract modifications and liquidated damages. Substantially all of our revenue recognized over time under the cost-to-cost input method contains a single performance obligation as the interdependent nature of the goods and services provided prevents them from being separately identifiable within the contract. Generally, we try to structure contract milestones to mirror its expected cash outflows over the course of the contract; however, the timing of milestone receipts can greatly affect the overall cash position. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of disaggregation of revenue.
As of December 31, 2025, we have estimated the costs to complete all in-process contracts in order to estimate revenues using a cost-to-cost input method. However, it is possible that current estimates could change in the future due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs and revenue recognition. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in material adjustments to operating results for any fiscal period.
Contract modifications are routine in the performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract, with cumulative adjustment to revenue.
We recognize accrued claims in contract revenues for additional work or changes in the scope of work to the extent of costs incurred when we believe we have an enforceable right to the modification or claim, the amount can be reasonably estimated and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, we consider the contractual/legal basis for enforcing the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred and whether those costs are identifiable or otherwise determinable, the nature and reasonableness of those costs, the objective evidence available to support the amount of the claim, and the relevant history with the counterparty that supports expectations about their willingness and ability to pay for the additional cost along with a reasonable margin.
We generally recognize sales commissions in equal proportion as revenue is recognized. Our sales agreements are structured such that commissions are only payable upon receipt of payment, thus no amount is recorded at contract inception as a liability has not been incurred at that point.
Warranty expense
We record an estimated expense in Cost of operations in the 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 costs is recognized 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 initial estimates. Factors that impact our estimate of warranty costs include prior history of warranty claims and our estimate of future costs of materials and labor. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Loss contingencies
We estimate liabilities for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosures are provided when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision or if such probable loss is not reasonably estimable. Currently we do not expect that any of our litigation proceedings, disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consequently, it is possible future earnings could be affected by changes in our assessment of the probability that a loss has been incurred in material pending litigation against us and/or changes in estimates related to such matters.
Loss recoveries
Loss recoveries are recognized and disclosed only when receipt of the recovery is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These matters are typically resolved over long periods of time and are often difficult to assess and estimate due to, among other reasons, the possibility of multiple actions by third parties, multiple complex unresolved procedural and substantive issues; and the wide-ranging outcomes reached in similar cases, including the variety of losses incurred. Consequently, it is possible future earnings could be affected by changes in our assessment of the probability that a loss recovery has been recognized and/or changes in estimates related to such matters.
Research and development
Research and development activities are related to improving our products through innovations to reduce cost and increase competitiveness and/or improve performance to better meet customers' expectations. Research and development expenses totaled $1.5 million, $5.1 million, and $6.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Contingent consideration
The fair value of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. For each transaction, we estimate the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and record the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We review and reassess the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. Changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent earn-out liabilities related to the time component of the present value calculation are reported in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in Other - net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Self-insurance
We have a wholly owned insurance subsidiary that provides workers' compensation, employer's liability, commercial general, and automotive liability and, from time to time, builder's risk insurance (within certain limits) to our operating companies. We may also, in the future, have this insurance subsidiary accept other risks that we cannot or do not wish to transfer to outside insurance companies. Included in Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are reserves for self-insurance totaling $6.8 million and $7.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
The fair value of equity-classified awards, such as restricted stock, performance shares and stock options, is determined on the date of grant and is not remeasured. The fair value of liability-classified awards, such as cash-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance units, is determined on the date of grant and is remeasured at the end of each reporting period through the date of settlement. Fair values for restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units are determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Fair values for stock options are determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For performance shares or units that contain a Relative Total Shareholder Return vesting criteria and for stock appreciation rights, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value, which determines the probability of satisfying the market condition included in the award. The determination of the fair value of a share-based payment award using an option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation requires the input of significant assumptions, such as the expected life of the award and stock price volatility.
We recognize expense for all stock-based awards granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally equivalent to the vesting term. For liability-classified awards, changes in fair value are recognized through cumulative catch-ups each period. Excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation are classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. These excess tax benefits result from tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation expense recognized for options exercised and other equity-classified awards. Forfeitures are expensed as incurred. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of stock-based compensation.
Foreign currency translation
We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and we translate items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations at average exchange rates for the periods presented. We record adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency amounts as a component of AOCI. We report foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have included transaction gains (losses) of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $(2.3) million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in Foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These foreign exchange net gains and losses are primarily related to transaction gains or losses from unhedged intercompany loans when the loan is denominated in a currency different than the participating entity's functional currency.
Recently adopted accounting standards
We adopted the following accounting standards during the year ended December 31, 2025:
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures("ASU 2023-09"), 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, 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 and has been applied prospectively. Refer to Note 19 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
In May 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer ("ASU 2025-04").The key components of ASU 2025-04 are 1) the revision of the definition of performance condition to identify that performance targets based on a customer's purchases is an example of a performance condition for an award granted to a customer; 2) elimination of the accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for customer awards with service conditions; and 3) clarification that guidance on constraining estimates of variable consideration in ASC 606 does not apply to share-based payment issued to a customer measured in accordance with ASC 718. While adoption of ASU 2025-04 is not required until financial reporting periods starting after December 15, 2026, we have early adopted ASU 2025-04 effective for the full fiscal period beginning January 1, 2025 using the modified retrospective approach. While ASU 2025-04 did not result in any adjustments to the financial results presented, it will continue to be applied to any future agreements we have with customers in which we provide stock-based compensation.
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 not be applicable. New accounting standards not yet adopted that could affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:
In October 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative("ASU 2023-06"). The new guidance is intended to align GAAP and SEC requirements while facilitating the application of 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. The impact of this standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements is contingent upon future transactions.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses("ASU 2024-03"). The new guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring all public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Further, in January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2025-01 is clarifying the effective dates outlined in ASU 2024-03 which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants: Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities("ASU 2025-10"). The new guidance is intended to help business entities in determining how to recognize, measure and present these grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3 –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:
| Year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Net loss from continuing operations | $(32,848) | $(104,272) | $(109,212) |
| Less: Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock | 14,859 | 14,859 | 14,858 |
| Loss from continuing operations attributable to stockholders of common stock | (47,707) | (119,131) | (124,070) |
| (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax | (3,311) | 44,357 | (87,996) |
| Net loss attributable to stockholders of common stock | $(51,018) | $(74,774) | $(212,066) |
| Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share | 105,421 | 91,717 | 89,011 |
| Basic and diluted loss per share | |||
| Continuing operations | $(0.45) | $(1.30) | $(1.39) |
| Discontinued operations | (0.03) | 0.48 | (0.99) |
| Basic and diluted loss per share | $(0.48) | $(0.82) | $(2.38) |
In accordance with GAAP, dilution is assessed on the basis of continuing operations. We incurred a net loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, therefore the basic and diluted shares are the same for those periods.
If we had net income in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, diluted shares would include an additional 1.0 million,0.3 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively.
We excluded 11.2 million,2.2 million and 2.3 million shares related to stock options and warrants from the diluted share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 4 –DIVESTITURES
2025 Divestitures
Vølund
On April 29, 2025, Babcock & Wilcox A/S ("BWAS"), a subsidiary of the Company, sold substantially all of its assets, including intellectual property, specific project contracts as well as related agreements with suppliers and certain tangible assets, to Kanadevia Inova Denmark A/S (the "Buyer"). The sale was comprised of a simultaneous transfer of assets from BWAS to a newly incorporated BWAS subsidiary (the "NewCo") pursuant to a business transfer agreement ("BTA"), and sale of NewCo by BWAS to the Buyer pursuant to a share purchase agreement (together with the BTA, the "Purchase Agreements").
The Purchase Agreements provide for a base purchase price equal to $15.0 million plus $0.1 million (400,000 Danish krone), subject to certain offsets and adjustments, including additional payments to BWAS if the Buyer enters into a certain prospective project agreement within five years. In addition, BWAS and the Buyer entered into an agreement under which the Buyer loaned BWAS $5.0 million which will be considered repaid when BWAS transfers to NewCo certain retained intellectual property usage rights. The Purchase Agreements also include representations and warranties regarding BWAS and the transferred business and assets, as well as certain indemnities with respect thereto. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt and support working capital needs. We recorded a net loss of $36.8 million which included a write off of CTA of $52.6 million.
Diamond Power
On June 4, 2025, we through our wholly owned subsidiaries, The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Babcock & Wilcox International Sales and Service Corporation, and Babcock & Wilcox Canada Corp. (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to sell to certain legal entities affiliated with Andritz AG the equity interests of Diamond Power and related legal entities together with assets related to the Diamond Power business (the "Sale"). We closed on the sale on July 31, 2025.
The Purchase Agreement provided for a base purchase price equal to $177 million, subject to certain offsets and adjustments. The Purchase Agreement also included representations and warranties regarding the Sale, as well as certain indemnities with respect thereto. The Purchase Agreement also included an undertaking for the Sellers and their affiliates not to compete with the Diamond Power business or to solicit customers or employees with respect to the Diamond Power business for a period offour years. Additionally, we entered into an agreement to provide transition services to the Diamond Power business for a period of 12 months, or until earlier agreed upon with respect to certain services. The proceeds are being used to support working capital needs and reduce outstanding debt. We recorded a gain of $53.2 million on the sale.
ASH
On October 31, 2025, we completed a sale of the net assets comprising our ASH business to Andritz AG for $29 million, subject to customary fees and adjustments. In conjunction with the transaction, we and Andritz AG, through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, have signed sales representative agreements under which we will continue to market ASH and Diamond Power products and services to customers in the utility power sectors. We recorded a gain of $21.5 million on the sale.
2024 Divestitures
BWRS
On June 28, 2024, we, through our B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance Sárl subsidiary, sold all issued and outstanding share capital of our Denmark-based renewable parts and services subsidiary, BWRS, to Hitachi Zosen Inova AG. We received net cash proceeds of $83.5 million and recorded a gain on the sale of the business of $44.9 million. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt and support working capital needs. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million as part of the final settlement.
SPIG and GMAB
On October 30, 2024, we, through our B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance Sárl subsidiary and Babcock & Wilcox A/S subsidiary, sold the entire issued and outstanding share capital of our Italy-based SPIG and Sweden-based GMAB subsidiaries to Auctus Neptune Holding S.p.A. We received net cash proceeds of $33.7 million and recorded a gain of $14.1 million, solely related to currency translation adjustments that were realized upon sale of the businesses. We recorded an impairment of $5.8 million as of September 30, 2024, as the disposal group carrying value exceeded the expected net proceeds from the sale. The proceeds were used to support working capital needs and reduce outstanding debt.
NOTE 5 –ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 2024, we engaged in a strategy and developed a formalized plan to divest certain non-core businesses to reduce our debt, improve our balance sheet and increase liquidity. As of December 31, 2025, we have divested our BWRS, SPIG, GMAB, Vølund, Diamond Power and ASH businesses as part of this plan.
With the Diamond business becoming classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2025 and since parts of our Diamond Power businesses were within each of our historical reporting units, we allocated a portion of the goodwill associated with those reporting units to discontinued operations. The allocation was based upon the fair value of our Diamond Power business compared to the fair value of each of the reporting units. This resulted in a triggering event that required us to immediately perform valuations of the remaining fair value of our historical reporting units. These valuations determined that the fair values for each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value and no impairment was identified.
Results of operations and the financial position of the divested subsidiaries are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the financial statement have been adjusted on a retrospective basis. Our sales are described further in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We previously committed to a plan to sell our B&W Solar business and classified the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale as of December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we discontinued marketing B&W Solar for sale due to lack of potential buyers and terminated our broker arrangement with a third party provider. As of December 31, 2025, the B&W Solar business was disposed of through abandonment, as we ceased all business operations and either transferred or wrote off its remaining assets. As a result, the B&W Solar business no longer meets the criteria of held for sale as of December 31, 2025, but met the criteria for discontinued operations for all prior periods presented.

NOTE 6 –SEGMENT REPORTING
Our operations are assessed asone reportable segment, B&W.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we reassessed our segment structure as a result of the completion of our strategic shift to streamline and simplify the business. This transformation included the divestiture of certain non-core assets, as described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of this transformation, we have determined we haveone operating and reportable segment, labeled as B&W. The revised segment presentation has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
The Company's CODM is the chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Directors. The CODM assesses performance on a consolidated basis, using the segment's Loss from continuing operations as its profitability metric. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about our operating and capital resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total assets.

NOTE 7 –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 had one customer that comprised more than 10% of our consolidated revenues as of December 31, 2025 and no single customer comprised 10% or more of our consolidated revenues in 2024 or 2023. Our revenue recognition accounting policy is described in more detail in Note 2.

NOTE 10 – 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.
In July 2025, we allocated $30.8 million of goodwill to our Diamond Power business in connection with its sale, as discussed further in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We did not identify any impairment in the retained goodwill balances subsequent to the allocation of goodwill to the Diamond Power business.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, our reporting units changed as part of our reassessment of our reportable segment structure. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our assessment.
The annual quantitative assessment was performed using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flows), the market approach and the guideline transaction method. The income approach uses the reporting unit's estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted-average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer to account for uncertainties within the projections. The income approach uses assumptions based on the reporting unit's estimated revenue growth, operating margin, and working capital turnover. The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar characteristics to the reporting unit. The guideline transaction method estimates fair value by applying recent observed transaction multiples from transactions involving companies with similar characteristics to the reporting unit's business. The fair market value calculated in the quantitative assessment exceeded the carrying amount of each of the reporting units by more than 100% at October 1, 2025.

We record estimated expense in Cost of operations in the 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 costs is recognized 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 initial estimates. Factors that impact our estimate of warranty costs include prior history of warranty claims and our estimate of future costs of materials and labor. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 14 –PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
We have historically provided defined benefit retirement benefits to domestic U.S. employees under the U.S. Plan, a noncontributory plan. As of 2006, the U.S. Plan was closed to new salaried plan entrants. Effective December 31, 2015, benefit accruals for those salaried employees covered by, and continuing to accrue service and salary adjusted benefits under the U.S. Plan, ceased.
Effective January 1, 2012, a defined contribution component was adopted applicable to Babcock & Wilcox Canada, Ltd. (the "Canadian Plans"). Any employee with less thantwo years of continuous service as of December 31, 2011 was required to enroll in the defined contribution component of the Canadian Plans as of January 1, 2012 or upon the completion of 6 months of continuous service, whichever was later. These and future employees are not eligible to enroll in the defined benefit component of the Canadian Plans. Effective January 1, 2015, benefit accruals under certain hourly Canadian pension plans ceased. As part of the spin-off transaction, we split the Canadian defined benefit plans from BWXT, which was completed in 2017. We did not present these plans as multi-employer plans because our portion was separately identifiable, and we were able to assess the assets, liabilities and periodic expense in the same manner as if it were a separate plan in each period.
We do not provide retirement benefits to certain non-resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries. Retirement benefits for salaried employees who accrue benefits in a defined benefit plan are based on final average compensation and years of service, while benefits for hourly employees are based on a flat benefit rate and years of service. Our funding policy is to fund the plans as recommended by the respective plan actuaries and in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or other applicable law. Funding provisions under the Pension Protection Act accelerate funding requirements to ensure full funding of benefits accrued.
We make available other benefits including postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain salaried and union retirees based on their contracts, and on a limited basis, to future retirees.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on the long-term expected returns for the investment mix of assets currently in the portfolio. In setting this rate, we use a building-block approach. Historic real return trends for the various asset classes in the plan's portfolio are combined with anticipated future market conditions to estimate the real rate of return for each asset class. These rates are then adjusted for anticipated future inflation to determine estimated nominal rates of return for each asset class. The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined to be the weighted average of the nominal returns based on the weightings of the asset classes within the total asset portfolio. We use an expected return on plan assets assumption of 6.5% for the majority of our pension plan assets (approximately 97% of our total pension assets at December 31, 2025).
Investment goals
The overall investment strategy of the pension trusts is to achieve long-term growth of principal, while avoiding excessive risk and to minimize the probability of loss of principal over the long term. The specific investment goals that we set for the pension trusts in the aggregate are (1) to ensure that plan liabilities are met when due and (2) to achieve an investment return on trust assets consistent with a reasonable level of risk.
Allocations to each asset class for both domestic and foreign plans are reviewed periodically and rebalanced, if appropriate, to assure the continued relevance of the goals, objectives and strategies. The pension trusts for both domestic and foreign plans employ a professional investment advisor and a number of professional investment managers whose individual benchmarks are, in the aggregate, consistent with the plans' overall investment objectives. The goals of each investment manager are (1) to meet (in the case of passive accounts) or exceed (for actively managed accounts) the benchmark selected and agreed upon by the manager and the trust and (2) to display an overall level of risk in its portfolio that is consistent with the risk associated with the agreed upon benchmark.
The investment performance of total portfolios, as well as asset class components, is periodically measured against commonly accepted benchmarks, including the individual investment manager benchmarks. In evaluating investment manager performance, consideration is also given to personnel, strategy, research capabilities, organizational and business matters, adherence to discipline and other qualitative factors that may impact the ability to achieve desired investment results.
Domestic plans: We sponsor the U.S. Plan, which is a domestic defined benefit plan. The assets of this plan are held by the Trustee in The Babcock & Wilcox Company Master Trust (the "Master Trust"). For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investment return on domestic plan assets of the Master Trust (net of deductions for management fees) was approximately 8.6% and (4.5)%, respectively.
The following is a summary of the asset allocations for the Master Trust by asset category:
| Year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Asset category: | ||
| United States government securities | 14% | 13% |
| Equity | 4% | 2% |
| Private credit | 48% | 45% |
| Hedge funds | 22% | 25% |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 12% | 15% |
The target asset allocation for the Master Trust as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 70% of alternative, liquid credit and direct lending funds,20% of fixed income securities, and 10% of equity and other investments. We routinely reassess the target asset allocation with a goal of better aligning the expected cash flows from those assets to the anticipated benefit payments.
Foreign plans: We sponsor the Canadian Plans through certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The combined weighted average asset allocations of these plans by asset category were as follows:

Fair value of plan assets
See Note 22 below in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of fair value measurements and the hierarchy established for valuation inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value ("NAV") per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share included in the tables below are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the fair value of plan assets at the end of each period, which is presented in the first table above titled "Obligations and funded status". The following is a summary of total investments of our plans measured at fair value:

(1)Pension benefit payments are made from their respective plan's trust.
We made contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans totaling $25.2 million and $12.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2024, we were granted a waiver of required minimum contributions to the U.S. Plan by the PBGC, which was subject to us providing acceptable collateral to the PBGC. The waiver reduced cash funding requirements in 2024 by $15.0 million and increased contributions annually over the subsequent 5-year period.
Defined contribution plans
We provide benefits under The B&W Thrift Plan (the "Thrift Plan"), after minimum service requirements are met. The Thrift Plan generally provides for matching employer contributions. Employer matching contributions are typically made in cash. Amounts charged to expense for employer contributions under the Thrift Plan total approximately $4.4 million, $4.5 million and $4.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Also, our salaried Canadian employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan, after minimum service requirements are met. The amount charged to expense for employer contributions was approximately $0.3 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Multi-employer plans
One of our subsidiaries contributes to various multi-employer plans. Multi-employer plan assets are commingled among employers; therefore, unlike a single‑employer plan, we are exposed to funding shortfalls arising from other employers' participation and may face higher future contributions or withdrawal assessments. The plans generally provide defined benefits to substantially all unionized workers in this subsidiary. The following table summarizes our contributions to multi-employer plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Our collective bargaining agreements with the Boilermaker-Blacksmith National Pension Trust ("Boilermaker Plan") is under a National Maintenance Agreement platform which is evergreen in terms of expiration. However, the agreement allows for termination by either party with a 90-day written notice. Our contributions to the Boilermaker Plan constitute less than 5% of total contributions to the Boilermaker Plan. All other contributions included above represents multiple amounts to various plans that, individually, are deemed to be insignificant.

As of December 31, 2025 the 6.50% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.6%.
(2) The 8.125% Senior Notes had a maturity date of February 2026, and were fully redeemed at December 31, 2025. $191.5 million is included in noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024.
During the second quarter of 2025, $84.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.125% Senior Notes and $47.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.50% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Exchanged Notes") were repurchased and cancelled in connection with the privately negotiated exchange described below.
During the third quarter of 2025, we completed a cash tender offer for $8.3 million of our 8.125% Senior Notes and 6.50% Senior Notes. A gain of $1.7 million was recognized as part of this transaction and is included in Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the third quarter of 2025, $5.0 million of our 8.125% Senior Notes and $10.0 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes were exchanged for $15.0 million of our 8.75% Senior Notes.
During the fourth quarter of 2025 we completed the redemption of our 8.125% Senior Notes in the amount of $98.4 million, settling the debt obligation in full. We also repurchased $6.1 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Senior Notes Due 2030
The components of our Senior Notes due 2030 at December 31, 2025 are as follows:
| (in thousands) | 8.75% (1) |
|---|---|
| Senior Notes due 2030 | $129,473 |
| Unamortized deferred financing costs | (5,867) |
| Unamortized premium | 27,364 |
| Net debt balance | $150,970 |
(1)The 8.75% Senior Notes mature in June 2030 and is included in noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 the 8.75% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 4.6%.
In May 2025, we completed privately negotiated exchange transactions (the "Exchanges") in which we issued $100.7 million aggregate principal amount of newly-issued 8.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the "Senior Secured Notes Due 2030") as consideration for the Exchanged Notes. The Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain excluded subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"). The Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors. The security interests in our assets are subject to an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which the Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 are subordinated in right of payment and lien priority to the satisfaction in full of (i) the obligations and satisfaction of the liens under our Credit Agreement (described below), (ii) the obligations and lien under the junior secured promissory note with B. Riley and (iii) certain obligations secured by a lien in favor of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (a wholly owned United States government corporation and agency acting on behalf of the B&W Pension Plan (as defined below)) in connection with its waiver of required minimum contributions to the Retirement Plan for Employees of Babcock & Wilcox Commercial Operations (the "B&W Pension Plan").
The Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 accrue interest a rate of 8.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30, starting December 30, 2025, and mature on June 30, 2030.
Subject to the intercreditor arrangements discussed above, we may redeem the Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 at any time, on or after May 16, 2026, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the applicable principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, and certain events of default, including with respect to a failure to make payments under the Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events.
As a result of the Company's financial situation as a going concern entity at the time of refinancing, and the fact the creditors have granted concessions, the Exchanges were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. Therefore, the Company recognized the difference between the face value of the original 8.125% Senior Notes and 6.50% Senior Notes and the face value of the 8.75% Senior Notes as debt premium, which it amortizes using the effective interest method over the new 5-year term through May 2030.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we made $13.8 million of in-kind contributions of our Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 to settle Company obligations.
Credit Agreement with Axos
We entered into the 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 provides for an up to $150.0 million asset-based 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 originally provided a guaranty of payment with regard to our obligations under the Credit Agreement, however this guaranty is no longer in place (refer to Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which outlines that the guaranty was cancelled in February 2026 under the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement - "the Tenth Amendment"). We used and expect to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Credit Agreement to (i) provide for working capital needs, (ii) provide cash collateral to secure letters of credit to be issued under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) provide for general corporate purposes.
The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 18, 2028, provided that by November 30, 2026, the 6.50% Senior Notes have not been repaid, defeased, or otherwise satisfied in full or refinanced, or the maturity date has not otherwise been extended to a date on or after July 18, 2028, then November 30, 2026, as amended by the Tenth Amendment.
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 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) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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 December 31, 2025, after giving consideration to the Amendments to the Credit Agreement, we are in compliance with all financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
The key terms of the Credit Agreement described above reflect the various amendments completed since the original Credit Agreement was entered into and reflect changes in the Company's capital structure, borrowing base, collateral requirements and financial covenant levels. These amendments addressed, among other items, (i) authorization of specified asset dispositions, (ii) adjustments to borrowing base components, including increases in inventory valuation percentages and changes to PBGC reserve requirements, (iii) temporary and permanent modifications to minimum liquidity thresholds, (iv) deferral or modification of certain covenant ratios, (v) add‑backs related to discontinued operations and capital expenditures for covenant calculations and (vi) updates to maturity provisions tied to the refinancing or repayment of other outstanding debt instruments.
On February 25, 2026, the Company with certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, B. Riley, and the lenders party to the Credit Agreement with Axos, as administrative agent, entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, Axos and the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement consented to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the amounts available to be borrowed based on inventory and receivables in the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement; (ii) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to January 18, 2028; (iii) suspend the PBGC Reserve (provided that the PBGC Reserve shall be re-imposed in the amount of $3.0 million on January 1, 2027 unless the Company has provided evidence to Axos that the $3.0 million installment due to the PBGC on or prior to September 15, 2026 has been paid); (iv) modify the covenants relating to deposit account control agreements and institutions to allow for certain holdings in foreign currencies; and (v) release B. Riley as a specified guarantor thereunder (see Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
At December 31, 2025, we had a total of $66.8 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement, which includes $0.0 million drawn on the revolving credit portion of the facility and $66.8 million drawn on the letter of credit portion. At December 31, 2025, cash collateralizing the letters of credit totaling $66.8 million is classified as Current restricted cash and Long-term restricted cash included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The weighted average interest rate on short-term obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 9.1% and 9.5%, respectively.
Revolving and Letter of Credit Agreements
In June 2021, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement with PNC as administrative agent, and the Letter of Credit Agreement, pursuant to which PNC agreed to issue up to $110.0 million in letters of credit that were secured in part by cash collateral provided by MSD, as well the Reimbursement Agreement and 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 our Credit Agreement with Axos that began in January 2024. The Revolving Credit Agreement with PNC was terminated in connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement and we transitioned letters of credit outstanding under the Letter of Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement to the Credit Agreement. All outstanding letters of credit were transitioned to the Credit Agreement by September 30, 2024, and the Letter of Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement were terminated at that time. We recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $7.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees and other costs incurred to exit the Debt Facilities.
A summary of usage of letters of credit under domestic facilities is as follows:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Letters of credit under domestic facilities: | ||
| Performance letters of credit | $45,236 | $22,421 |

| Total outstanding | $59,601 | $40,971 |
| Backstopped letters of credit | $7,194 | $750 |
| Surety backstopped letters of credit | 16,452 | 15,742 |
| Letters of credit subject to currency revaluation | 27,105 | 4,126 |
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:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Letters of credit under non-domestic facilities | $6,545 | $477 |
| Surety Bonds | 253,407 | 177,766 |
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 Loans Payable
As of December 31, 2025, we had loans payable of approximately $8.4 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions. The remaining future cash payments related to the sale-leaseback financing transactions for each year ending December 31 are as follows:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $765 |
| 2027 | 782 |

| Total minimum liability requirements | 15,678 |
| Imputed interest | (6,744) |
| Total | $8,934 |
As of December 31, 2024, we had loans payable of approximately $9.3 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received a payment of $5.0 million from the State of West Virginia relating to our BrightLoop™project which is considered a forgivable loan. The loan will be forgiven in full when certain employment and capital expenditure milestones are met during the course of project.

NOTE 16 –CAPITAL STOCK
Preferred Stock
During thetwelve months ending December 31, 2025, our Board of Directors approved dividends totaling $14.9 million to holders of the Preferred Stock. There wereno cumulative undeclared dividends of the Preferred Stock at December 31, 2025, and all declared dividends have been paid as of December 31, 2025.
Common Stock
In April 2024, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agents, in connection with an at-the-market offering. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024,15.0 million and 5.0 million shares, respectively, have been sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of $32.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
In November 2025, we entered into the 2025 Sales Agreement with the 2025 Agents, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time by us of shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million through the 2025 Agents. As of December 31, 2025, 18.7 million shares have been sold pursuant to the 2025 Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $95.7 million.
Applied Digital
On November 4, 2025, we entered into a limited notice to proceed ("LNTP") with Applied Digital for a project to design and install four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants consisting of boilers and associated steam turbines to deliver power for an AI factory. As further discussed in Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we and Base Electron, an IPP backed by Applied Digital, entered into a definitive written agreement in relation to the project (the "Definitive Agreement") which outlined additional terms and conditions for the project. The plant is targeted to begin operation in 2028.
In connection with the entry into the LNTP, we issued to Applied Digital, in a private placement, (i)0.5 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share for a purchase price of $2 million and (ii) a warrant (the "Initial Warrant") exercisable to purchase 2.6 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.11, subject to registration rights.
Under the terms of the Initial Warrant, it is classified as a liability-based award which requires calculation of fair value for each reporting period until settled or expired. As of December 31, 2025, we calculated a fair value of the Initial Warrant of $8.3 million which is recorded in Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Balance Sheets.
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the Initial Warrant granted as of December 31, 2025:
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.84% |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 105% |
| Exercise price | $4.11 |
| Remaining term of warrant | 7 years |
In making these assumptions, we based risk-free rates on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the remaining duration of the grant, which we convert to a continuously compounded rate. We based estimated volatility on the historical returns of our stock price and selected guideline companies over the remaining term of the grant.
The LNTP also granted to Applied Digital additional warrants to purchase up to 7.86 million shares of our common stock, on the same terms as the Initial Warrant, which was unvested as of December 31, 2025, but vested as a result of the execution of the Definitive Agreement as outlined in Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 18 –STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock options
There wereno stock options awarded in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, there were nominal shares outstanding and exercisable, at a weighted average exercise price of $63.57 and $63.55, respectively, and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years.
Restricted stock units
Non-vested restricted stock units activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
| (in thousands, except share amounts) | Number of shares | Weighted-average grant date fair value |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested at beginning of period | 1,740 | $2.33 |
| Granted | 1,808 | 1.29 |
| Vested | (1,422) | 2.06 |
| Cancelled/forfeited | (125) | 1.63 |
| Non-vested at end of period | 2,001 | 1.31 |
As of December 31, 2025, total compensation expense not yet recognized related to non-vested restricted stock units was $2.2 million and the weighted-average period in which the expense is expected to be recognized is 2.0 years. As of December 31, 2025, total compensation expense was $2.6 million.
Restricted stock units with market conditions
In July 2022, we granted market-based RSUs to certain members of management. The number of market-based RSUs granted was 0.96 million. The RSUs will vest if our closing stock price on the NYSE is equal to or higher than the Stock Price Goal of $12.00 per share during the performance period, which expires on the 5th anniversary of the Grant Date. The $6.70 grant date fair value per market-based RSU was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. There wasno compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Restricted stock units with market conditions activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| (in thousands, except share amounts) | Number of shares | Weighted-average grant date fair value |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested at beginning of period | 595 | $6.70 |
| Cancelled/forfeited | (75) | 6.70 |
| Non-vested at end of period | 520 | 6.70 |
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)
In December 2018, we granted stock appreciation rights to certain employees ("Employee SARs") and to a non-employee related party, BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC ("Non-employee SARs"). The SARs expireten years after the grant date and primarily vest 100% upon completion after the required years of service. Upon vesting, SARs may be exercised within 10 business days following the end of any calendar quarter during which the volume weighted average share price is greater than the share price goal. Upon exercise of the SARs, holders receive a cash-settled payment equal to the number of SARs that are being exercised multiplied by the difference between the stock price on the date of exercise minus the SARs base price. Employee SARs were issued under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2015 LTIP, and Non-employee SARs were issued under a Non-employee SARs agreement. The liability method was used to recognize the accrued compensation expense with cumulatively adjusted revaluations to the then current fair value at each reporting date through final settlement.
In September 2024, the former Non‑employee SAR holder became an employee of the Company. As of December 31, 2025, there were two holders of Employee SARs, as all other SARs terminated upon the holders departure from the Company.
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the SARs granted as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.70% | 4.30% |
| Expected volatility | 80% | 46% |
| Expected life in years | 3.25 | 3.75 |
| Suboptimal exercise factor | 2.0x | 2.0x |
In making these assumptions, we based estimated volatility on the historical returns of our stock price and selected guideline companies. We based risk-free rates on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the expected duration at the date of grant, which we convert to a continuously compounded rate. We relied upon a suboptimal exercise factor, representing the ratio of the base price to the stock price at the time of exercise, to account for potential early exercise prior to the expiration of the contractual term. With consideration to the executive level of the SARs holders, a suboptimal exercise multiple of 2.0 x was selected. Subject to vesting conditions, should the stock price achieve a value of 2.0 x above the base price, we assume the holders will exercise prior to the expiration of the contractual term of the SARs. The expected term for the SARs is an output of the valuation model in estimating the time period that the SARs are expected to remain unexercised. The valuation model assumes the holders will exercise their SARs prior to the expiration of the contractual term of the SARs.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the SARs are fully vested and their total intrinsic value iszero.

At December 31, 2025 we have foreign NOL carryforward DTAs of approximately $101.4 million available to offset future taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions. These foreign NOL carryforwards do not expire.
At December 31, 2025, we have U.S. federal NOL carryforward DTAs of approximately $135.8 million. Of this amount, $18.1 million will expire in 2036 and 2037. The remaining amount of U.S. NOL carryforward does not expire. A portion of the net operating loss carryforward is limited under IRC Section 382. Approximately $109.7 million of our U.S. federal NOL carryforward is not subject to the IRC Section 382 limitation.
At December 31, 2025, we have state NOL carryforward DTAs of $34.4 million available to offset future taxable income in various jurisdictions. Of this amount, $21.1 million will expire between 2026 and 2045.
At December 31, 2025, we have U.S. general business and R&D tax credit DTAs of approximately $2.9 million available to offset future taxable income which will begin to expire in 2034.
At December 31, 2025, we have valuation allowances of $406.9 million for deferred tax assets, which we expect will not be realized through carry-backs, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimates of future taxable income or tax-planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for realizability under ASC 740, considering all positive and negative evidence. At December 31, 2025, our weighting of positive and negative evidence included an assessment of historical income by jurisdiction adjusted for nonrecurring items, as well as an evaluation of other qualitative factors such as the length and magnitude of pretax losses. The valuation allowances may be reversed in the future if sufficient positive evidence exists. Any reversal of our valuation allowance could be material to the income or loss for the period in which our assessment changes.
The net change during the year in the total valuation allowance is as follows:
| Year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Balance at beginning of period | $(499,749) | $(535,256) | $(507,493) |
| Charges to costs and expenses | 104,125 | 30,513 | (25,166) |
| Charges to other accounts | (11,307) | 4,994 | (2,597) |
| Balance at end of period | $(406,931) | $(499,749) | $(535,256) |
Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC limits, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the annual use of NOL carryforwards (including previously disallowed interest carryforwards) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively, following an ownership change. Under IRC Section 382, an ownership change occurs if shareholders owning at least 5% of our common stock have increased their collective holdings by more than 50% during the prior three-year period. Based on information that is publicly available, we determined that a Section 382 ownership change occurred in July 2019. As a result of this change in ownership, we estimated that the future utilization of our federal NOLs (and certain credits and previously disallowed interest deductions) will become limited to approximately $1.2 million annually ($0.3 million tax effected) We maintain a full valuation allowance on the majority of its U.S. deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax assets associated with the federal NOLs, credits and disallowed interest carryforwards.
Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $127.4 million. We do not intend to assert indefinite reinvestment with respect to all of the undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries. We have recognized a deferred tax liability in the amount of $4.1 million.
We recognize the benefit of a tax position when we conclude that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. A recognized tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Below is a tabular roll-forward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits on a continuing operations basis:
| Year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Balance at beginning of period | $34,866 | $37,329 | $36,196 |

| Decreases based on tax positions taken in prior years | — | — | (9) |
| Decreases due to lapse of applicable statute of limitation | — | (512) | — |
| Currency translation adjustments | 4,054 | (1,951) | 1,142 |
| Balance at end of period | $48,660 | $34,866 | $37,329 |
Unrecognized tax benefits of $2.5 million would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate. The remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits relates to deferred tax assets that, if recognized, would require a full valuation allowance. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes; however, such amounts are not significant to any period presented.
Tax years 2016 through 2024 remain open to assessment by the United States Internal Revenue Service and various state and international tax authorities. We are currently under audit in the Philippines for tax year 2023 and do not expect the outcome of the audit to have a material impact on the financial statements. We do not have any returns under examination in any other jurisdictions.
NOTE 20 –CONTINGENCIES
Russian Invasion of Ukraine
We utilize a restricted party screening process completed by a third party to monitor compliance with applicable trade restrictions, including those trade restrictions implemented in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
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, 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 22 –FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (known as "Level 1") and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (known as "Level 3"). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.
The following tables summarize financial assets carried at fair value, all of which were valued from readily available prices (Level 1).
Securities
| Level 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

Investments in securities are presented as $6.5 million in Other current assets and $0.6 million Other assets as of December 31, 2025 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0 to 2 years.
Senior Notes due 2026
See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our Senior Notes due 2026. The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2026 is based on readily available quoted market prices (known as "Level 1") as of December 31, 2025.

(1)We redeemed the 8.125% Senior Notes at December 31, 2025. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Senior Notes due 2030
The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2030 is based on 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 (known as Level 2) as of December 31, 2025.
| December 31, 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value |
| 8.75% Senior Notes | $129,473 | $127,359 |
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 Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their highly liquid nature and are classified as Level 1.
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 was calculated at $65.5 million, which is $1.3 million less than its carrying amount at December 31, 2025.
NOTE 23 –RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with B. Riley
Based on Schedule 13D filings with the SEC, B. Riley beneficially owns approxim ately 22.1%of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025. B.
