The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the potential for future conditions that could raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which has occurred in the past; our obligation to refinance or repay our 6.50% Senior Notes due 2026 prior to their maturity; risks associated with contractual pricing in our industry; disputes with customers with long-term contracts; the performance of third parties' and subcontractors' on whom we rely; disruptions at our or third-party manufacturing facilities; our ability to execute our growth strategy; our evaluation of strategic alternatives; our ability to deliver our backlog on time or at all; professional liability, product liability, warranty or other claims; inadequate insurance coverage; our ability to compete successfully against current and future competitors; our development of new products; cyclical and economic impacts on demand for our products; compliance with government regulations; legislative and regulatory developments impacting our business; supply chain issues; the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements; our ability to maintain adequate bonding and letter of credit capacity; impairment to our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; our exposure to credit risk; disruptions in, or failures of, our information technology systems, including those related to cybersecurity; failure to comply with data and privacy laws, regulations and standards, or if we fail to properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems or defend against cybersecurity attacks, we may be subject to government or private actions due to breaches; failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or inability to obtain or renew licenses to use intellectual property of third parties; uncertainty over tariffs and their impacts; sanctions and export controls; international political, economic and other uncertainties; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could harm our profitability; volatility of the market price and trading volume of our common stock; dilution of our common shareholders' ownership or voting power; the significant influence of B.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management's current expectations and beliefs. While we believe that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. Such uncertainties and factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2026
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("B&W," "management," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC instructions for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all estimates and adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, required to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full-year ending December 31, 2026. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Liquidity
As disclosed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that actions completed during 2025 alleviated the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern that existed as of March 31, 2025. Management has evaluated conditions and events through the date of this filing and has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist as of March 31, 2026.
Operations
Our operations are assessed based on one reportable segment as described in Note 5. For financial information about our segment see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 2 – LOSS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share of our common stock, net of non-controlling interest and dividends on Preferred Stock:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | 2026 | | 2025 |
Loss from continuing operations | $ | (79,622) | | | $ | (15,632) | |
| | | |
| Less: Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock | 3,715 | | | 3,715 | |
Loss from continuing operations attributable to stockholders of common stock | (83,337) | | | (19,347) | |
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax | 2,677 | | | (6,375) | |
Net loss attributable to stockholders of common stock | $ | (80,660) | | | $ | (25,722) | |
| | | |
Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share | 133,754 | | | 97,930 | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
Basic and diluted loss per share: | | | |
| Continuing operations | $ | (0.62) | | | $ | (0.19) | |
| Discontinued operations | 0.02 | | | (0.07) | |
Basic and diluted loss per share | $ | (0.60) | | | $ | (0.26) | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
In accordance with GAAP, dilution is assessed on the basis of continuing operations. We incurred a net loss from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, therefore basic and diluted shares are the same for those periods.
We excluded 10.5 million and 1.1 million shares related to stock options and warrants from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3 – DIVESTITURES
Vølund
In April 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 provided 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 included 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 in the second quarter of 2025, which included a write off of CTA of $52.6 million.
Diamond Power
In June 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. We closed the sale in July 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 of four 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 for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an additional gain of $3.5 million as part of the settlement of certain outstanding items in accordance with the agreement, which is reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
ASH
In October 2025, we completed a sale of the net assets comprising our ASH business to Andritz AG for $29.0 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 in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Solar
In December 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. No impairment charges were recognized as part of the abandonment.
BWRS
In June 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 during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred a loss of $0.9 million as part of settlement negotiations with the buyer, each of which are reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 2024 and 2025, 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, ASH and Solar businesses as part of this plan. The Company has completed this strategic initiative and no additional divestitures are planned at this time.
Results of operations 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 divestitures are described further in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Our operations are assessed as one reportable segment, B&W, as revised in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to a strategic shift in our business, including the divestiture of certain non-core assets as described in Note 3. This 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total assets.

NOTE 6 – 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.
A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services, accounted for more than 90% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services, accounted for less than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disaggregation of revenue.
Base Electron Agreement
Effective February 26, 2026, we entered into a written definitive agreement with Base Electron, an IPP backed by Applied Digital, to complete the design and installation of four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants. The total consideration
in exchange for completion of this project is $2.4 billion, of which $2.0 billion is for variable charges and the remaining is a fixed fee. The variable charges are based on reimbursable costs incurred plus mark-up. The plant is targeted to begin commercial operation in 2029.
Revenue for this project is recognized over time as we satisfy our performance obligation. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we have recognized $31.0 million of revenue related to this contract.

We record estimated expense included in Cost of operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenues on the related contracts, or in the case of a loss contract, the full amount of the estimated warranty 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 13 – DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Senior Notes Due 2026
The components of our Senior Notes due 2026 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 6.50% (1) |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
Senior Notes due 2026 | $ | 69,793 | | | $ | 84,792 | |
| Unamortized deferred financing costs | (692) | | | (919) | |
| Net debt balance | $ | 69,101 | | | $ | 83,873 | |
(1) The 6.50% Senior Notes mature in December 2026 and is included in Current senior notes in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 the 6.50% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.9%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $15.0 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes.
Senior Notes Due 2030
The components of our Senior Notes due 2030 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 8.75% (1) |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
Senior Notes due 2030 | $ | 129,473 | | | $ | 129,473 | |
| Unamortized deferred financing costs | (5,560) | | | (5,867) | |
Unamortized premium | 25,356 | | | 27,364 | |
| Net debt balance | $ | 149,269 | | | $ | 150,970 | |
(1) The 8.75% Senior Notes mature in June 2030 and is included in Senior Notes due 2030 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 the 8.75% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 5.3%.
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 as consideration for $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. As a result of the Company's financial situation as a going concern entity at the time of refinancing, and the fact the creditors had 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 Senior Notes due 2026 and the face value of the 8.75% Senior Notes as debt premium, which is amortized using the effective interest method over the 5-year term through May 2030.
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 due to the Tenth Amendment as further described below. 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 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 March 31, 2026, 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.
At March 31, 2026, we had a total of $37.9 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement, all of which is drawn on the letter of credit portion of the agreement. At March 31, 2026, cash collateralizing the letters of credit totaling $37.9 million is classified as Current and Long-term restricted cash included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A summary of usage of letters of credit under domestic facilities is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Letters of credit under domestic facilities: | | | |

| Backstopped letters of credit | $ | 5,096 | | | $ | 7,194 | |
| Surety backstopped letters of credit | 2,017 | | | 16,452 | |
| Letters of credit subject to currency revaluation | 24,550 | | | 27,105 | |
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:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Letters of credit under non-domestic facilities | $ | 5,204 | | | $ | 6,545 | |
| Surety Bonds | 255,689 | | | 253,407 | |
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 March 31, 2026 and 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.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loans payable of $5.0 million owed to the State of West Virginia relating to our BrightLoop™ project. The loan will be forgiven in full when certain employment and capital expenditure milestones are met during the course of project.

NOTE 14 – CAPITAL STOCK
Preferred Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our Board of Directors approved dividends totaling $3.7 million to holders of the Preferred Stock. There were no cumulative undeclared dividends of the Preferred Stock at March 31, 2026, and all declared dividends have been paid as of March 31, 2026.
Common Stock
In April 2024, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agents, in connection with an at-the-market offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 3.3 million shares were sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of $5.2 million.
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. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 3.9 million shares have been sold pursuant to the 2025 Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $34.1 million.
Applied Digital/Base Electron Agreements
In November 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. Effective February 26, 2026, we entered into a definitive written agreement in relation to the project with Base Electron, an IPP backed by Applied Digital. The total consideration in exchange for completion of this project is $2.4 billion, of which $2.0 billion is for variable charges and the remaining is a fixed fee. The variable charges are based on reimbursable costs incurred plus mark-up. The plant is targeted to begin operation in 2029.
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 $2.0 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.
The LNTP also granted to Applied Digital an additional warrant (the "Additional Warrant") to purchase up to 7.86 million shares of our common stock, on the same terms as the Initial Warrant. As a result of the signing of the agreement with Base Electron, the Additional Warrant to purchase up to 7.86 million shares of our common stock is fully vested on the same terms as the Initial Warrant.
Effective March 18, 2026, we entered into a Partial Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Applied Digital and Base Electron under which Applied Digital assigned 5.23 million shares of stock under the Initial Warrant and Additional Warrant (collectively the "Warrants") to Base Electron.
The Warrants are classified as liability-based awards which require calculation of fair value for each reporting period until settled or expired. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we calculated the fair value of the Initial Warrant at $35.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2026, we calculated the fair value of the Additional Warrant at $107.3 million, each of which are recorded in Customer warrants on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the fair value of the Warrants during the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s stock price. As a result, we recorded expense of $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in Change in fair value of customer warrants in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Since the Warrants were issued as part of the Base Electron project, a corresponding asset was calculated as of the grant date of each warrant and is amortized over the life of the agreement with Base Electron. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the asset balances were $71.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and recorded in Customer contract asset current and noncurrent in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, amortization expense of $1.1 million was recognized as a reduction to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the Warrants granted as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.10 | % | | 3.84 | % |
| Expected volatility | 107.5 | % | | 105.0 | % |
| Exercise price | $ | 4.11 | | | $ | 4.11 | |
| Remaining term of warrant | 6.6 years | | 7 years |
The fair value of the Warrants is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility. 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.
NOTE 15 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and Current and Long-term restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock options
There were no stock options awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, nominal shares were outstanding and exercisable, each with a weighted average exercise price of $41.70 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years. As of December 31, 2025, nominal outstanding and exercisable shares had 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 (RSUs)
Non-vested restricted stock units activity for the year ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | Number of shares | | Weighted-average grant date fair value |
| Non-vested at beginning of period | 2,001 | | | $ | 1.31 | |
| Granted | 688 | | | 11.01 | |
| Vested | (585) | | | 11.95 | |
| | | |
| Non-vested at end of period | 2,104 | | | 1.53 | |
As of March 31, 2026, total compensation expense not yet recognized related to non-vested restricted stock units was $2.3 million and the weighted-average period in which the expense is expected to be recognized is 2.1 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, compensation expense related to the RSUs was $6.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Restricted stock units with market conditions
In July 2022, we granted market-based RSUs to certain members of management that vest if our closing stock price on the NYSE is equal to or higher than the stock price goal of $12.00 per share. The grant date fair value per market-based RSU was $6.70 and determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. On March 5, 2026, our stock price closed at $13.29 per share which triggered the vesting of 0.5 million shares. There was no compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)
The Company has outstanding cash-settled SARs held by two employees. The SARs may be exercised during specified periods when the Company's stock price exceeds the applicable share price goal. The liability method is used to recognize the accrued compensation expense with cumulatively adjusted revaluations to the then current fair value at each reporting date through final settlement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we calculated the fair value of the SARs at $6.5 million and nominal, respectively. The SARs are recorded in Accrued employee benefits and Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The change in fair value of the SARs liability for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.4 million and is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The increase in the fair value of the SARs during the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's stock price.
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the SARs granted as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.80 | % | | 3.70 | % |
| Expected volatility | 120 | % | | 80 | % |
| Expected life in years | 2.72 | | 3.25 |
| Suboptimal exercise factor | 2.0x | | 2.0x |
The fair value of the SARs is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility. 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 2.0x was selected. Subject to vesting conditions, should the stock price achieve a value of 2.0x 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the SARs are fully vested and their total intrinsic value is zero.
NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Income tax expense from continuing operations was $4.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (5.5)%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Income tax expense from continuing operations was $1.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (14.0)%.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is impacted by the mix of profitable foreign operations and losses in the U.S., certain foreign entities having a tax rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate, valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items.
We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions where we conduct operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary in both nominal rates and the basis on which these rates are applied. Our consolidated effective income tax rate can vary from period to period due to these foreign income tax rate variations, changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income, and valuation allowances.
NOTE 18 – ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Gains and losses deferred in AOCI are generally reclassified and recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations once they are realized. The changes in the components of AOCI, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

NOTE 19 – 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) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Corporate notes and bonds | $ | 4,885 | | | $ | 5,334 | |
| | | |
| United States Government and agency securities | 1,905 | | | 1,806 | |
| Total fair value of securities | $ | 6,790 | | | $ | 7,140 | |
Investments in securities are presented as $6.1 million in Other current assets and $0.7 million in Other assets as of March 31, 2026 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0 to 2 years.
Senior Notes due 2026
See Note 13 to the Condensed 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 6.50% Senior Notes ("BWNB") |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
Carrying value | $ | 69,793 | | | $ | 84,792 | |
Estimated fair value | 70,072 | | | 83,435 | |
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 8.75% Senior Notes |
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Carrying value | $ | 129,473 | | | $ | 129,473 | |
| Estimated fair value | 130,216 | | | 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their highly liquid nature 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 $36.4 million, which is $1.4 million less than its carrying amount at March 31, 2026.
•Applied Digital Warrants. These liability-based awards are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. For further information, see Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
•Stock Appreciation Rights. These instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. For further information, see Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 20 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with B. Riley
Based on Schedule 13D filings with the SEC, B. Riley beneficially owns approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2026. B. Riley currently has the right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors pursuant to the investor rights agreement we entered into with B. Riley in April 2019. The investor rights agreement also provides pre-emptive rights to B. Riley with respect to certain future issuances of our equity securities.
As described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement in January 2024, we entered into a guaranty agreement and related fee and reimbursement agreement with B. Riley, pursuant to which B. Riley guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Agreement in exchange for an annual fee of approximately $3.0 million. In June 2025, the B. Riley Guaranty, as well as the associated B. Riley Guaranty fees, were suspended until January 1, 2027 and in February 2026, the guaranty and fee agreement were cancelled. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
As described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in April 2024 and November 2025, we entered into sales agreements with B. Riley, among others, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our common stock. B. Riley is entitled to compensation equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the shares sold through it as the designated Agent.
In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into an agreement with B. Riley to provide financial advisory services to the Company. Under this agreement, B. Riley will be paid a cash fee equal to 3.0% of the total financing value of any qualified debt transaction that is consummated. As of March 31, 2026, we have an accrual balance of $5.0 million related to this agreement and these costs will be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.
NOTE 21 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND STANDARDS
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
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 Condensed 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 Condensed 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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 22 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Buybacks of Senior Notes
We repurchased $1.9 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes from April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026.
Sales of Common Stock
We sold 0.5 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2025 Sales Agreement, described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026 for net proceeds of $7.8 million.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial position and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those described in more detail under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. See also "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information" herein. Unless otherwise noted, discussion of our business and results of operations refers to our continuing operations.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a globally focused energy technologies provider with nearly 160 years of experience providing diversified energy and emissions control solutions to a broad range of industrial, electrical utility, municipal and other customers. Our innovative products and services are organized in one reporting segment.
Customer demand is heavily affected by the variations in our customers' business cycles, power demand in their operating territories, and by the overall economies, energy, environmental and regulatory requirements of the countries in which they operate.
We have manufacturing facilities in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Many aspects of our operations and properties could be affected by political developments, environmental regulations and operating risks. These and other factors may have
a material impact on our international and domestic operations or our business as a whole.
Discontinued Operations
Vølund
In April 2025, we sold our Vølund business for a base purchase price equal to $15.0 million plus $0.1 million (400,000 Danish krone). We recorded a net loss of $36.8 million, which included a write off of CTA of $52.6 million. For more information, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Diamond Power

Three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 Consolidated Results
Revenues increased by $65.8 million to $214.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $148.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in large project volume, including $31.0 million from Base Electron. This improvement is primarily due to the increasing need for electricity from fossil fuels driven by the demand from AI, data centers and expanding economies.
Costs of operations increased by $50.1 million to $171.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $120.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by the increased revenue as described above as well as the product mix of higher large-project volume which carries higher costs needed to complete certain projects.
SG&A expenses increased by $16.1 million to $44.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $28.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in share price of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which resulted in the increase in stock-based compensation expense for grants to senior members of management, including an increase in the valuation of stock appreciation rights
Research and development costs increased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by BrightLoop™ investment.
Impairment of long-lived assets decreased by $1.0 million in 2026. The decrease relates to an impairment recognized in 2025 relating to a reduction in our real estate footprint.
(Gain) loss on asset disposals, net increased to a gain in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a loss in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to small disposals in 2026.
Operating loss decreased by $0.2 million to $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is a result of the cost increases previously noted.
Loss from continuing operations increased by $64.0 million to $79.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $15.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by a non-cash change in fair value of customer warrants of $70.2 million and an increase in income tax expense of $2.2 million, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of $6.6 million.
Other Expenses Impacting Operating Results

| 1,685 | | | 1,289 | |
| Total interest expense | $ | 4,448 | | | $ | 11,042 | |
The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is primarily the result of the paydown of the Senior Notes Due 2026 in the second half of 2025 and in the first quarter of 2026, and the accretion of the gain on exchange of a portion of the Senior Notes Due 2026 into the Senior Notes due 2030.
Change in Fair Value of Customer Warrants
The increase in customer warrant fair value expense of $70.2 million is a result of the change in fair value of customer warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s stock price since the grant dates of the warrants.
Income Taxes
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| (in thousands, except for percentages) | 2026 | | 2025 | | Change |
Loss from continuing operations before income tax expense | $ | (75,468) | | | $ | (13,710) | | | $ | (61,758) | |
Income tax expense | 4,154 | | | 1,922 | | | 2,232 | |
| Effective tax rate | (5.5) | % | | (14.0) | % | | |
Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period to determine whether realization is more likely than not. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Valuation allowances may be removed in the future if sufficient positive evidence exists to outweigh the negative evidence under the framework of ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740").
Our effective tax rate for the first three months of 2026 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate, which was impacted by the mix of profitable foreign operations and losses in the U.S., certain foreign entities having a tax rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate, valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items. In certain jurisdictions where we anticipate a loss for the year or incur a loss for the year-to-date period for which a tax benefit cannot be realized in accordance with ASC 740, we exclude the loss in that jurisdiction from the overall computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Bookings and Backlog
Bookings and backlog are our measures of remaining performance obligations under our sales contracts. We believe these metrics provide investors, lenders and other users of our financial statements with a leading indicator of future revenues. It is possible that our methodology for determining bookings and backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.
We generally include expected revenue from contracts in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing our customers to pay for work performed. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and contracts in our backlog may be canceled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. Backlog can vary significantly from period to period, particularly when large new-build conversion projects or operations and maintenance contracts are booked because they may be fulfilled over multiple years. Because we operate globally, our backlog is also affected by changes in foreign currencies each period.
Bookings represent changes to the backlog. Bookings include additions related to new business or increases in project scope, subtractions due to customer cancellations or reductions in project scope, changes in estimates that affect selling price and revaluation of backlog denominated in foreign currency. We believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or for periods less than one year is less meaningful than for longer periods, and that shorter-term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a material trend.
Total bookings as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| (in millions) | 2026 | | 2025 |
| B&W | $ | 2,512.5 | | | $ | 121.3 | |

Our backlog as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| (in millions) | 2026 | | 2025 |
| B&W | $ | 2,728.8 | | | $ | 467.9 | |
| | | |
| | | |
Of the backlog at March 31, 2026, we expect to recognize revenues as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in millions) | 2026 | | 2027 | | Thereafter | | Total |
| B&W | $ | 570.3 | | | $ | 603.6 | | | $ | 1,554.9 | | | $ | 2,728.8 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to Loss from continuing operations, we use non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial position and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following discussion of our business segment results of operations includes a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA focuses on the earnings generated from core business operations, without considering the effects of financing, accounting decisions or tax. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Management believes that this financial measure is useful to investors because it excludes certain expenses, allowing investors to more easily compare our financial performance period to period. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial position and results of operations than GAAP measures alone.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, stock-based compensation, restructuring activities, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, legal and settlement costs, costs related to financial consulting and amortization and valuation of customer warrants. Additionally, the Company redefined its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the effects of certain items including interest on letters of credit included in Cost of operations and product development costs. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the revised definition and present separate reconciling items in our reconciliation.

Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment of long-lived assets refers to when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value or recoverable amount.
Benefit plans, net
We recognize pension and other postretirement benefit income or expense based on actuarial calculations. The net impact depends on the relationship between the expected return on plan assets and the cost of providing benefits. Benefit costs are relatively low because our plans are frozen, meaning employees are no longer earning additional benefits.
Reported pension results may vary due to mark‑to‑market adjustments, which reflect changes in interest rates, asset performance, or one‑time events such as plan settlements or curtailments. These adjustments are driven by market conditions and actuarial assumptions as of the date of the event. Because mark‑to‑market impacts are inherently volatile and often event‑driven, any gain or loss recognized in a given period should not be considered indicative of future pension income or expense.
Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.
(Gain) loss on asset disposals, net
We, at times, will sell or dispose of certain assets that are unrelated to our current or future operations. Therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude these gains and losses from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the continuing business.
Stock-based compensation
The grant date fair value of stock-based compensation varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and reward types. This may make the impact of this form of compensation on our current financial results difficult to compare to previous and future periods. Therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies.
Restructuring activities
Restructuring activities and business services transition actions across our business units and corporate functions primarily consist of severance and related costs associated with non-recurring actions taken to transform our operations with impacts on employees and facilities used in our businesses. Business services transition costs relate to new technology implementation, expected to provide future benefit and are included in Cost of operations and SG&A expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Loss on debt extinguishment
Losses on debt extinguishment were due to the exit costs associated with our repurchase of outstanding Senior Notes due 2026.
Settlements and related legal costs
Settlements and related legal costs relate to expenses associated with resolving legal disputes, whether through negotiated settlements or court judgments.
Foreign exchange
Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily related to settlement of transactions denominated in a currency different than the functional currency of the Company. We report foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes these expenses from Adjusted EBITDA as they do not reflect the ordinary course of business and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.
Financial advisory services
Financial advisory services relate to financial and business planning and other professional services.
Customer warrant amortization
Customer warrants amortized over the life of the associated agreement and recorded as a reduction to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes the reduction to revenue from Adjusted EBITDA as they are a non-cash transaction and do not reflect the ordinary course of business.
Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our Customer warrant amortization.
Change in fair value of customer warrants
Change in fair value of customer warrants is recognized as a gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes the expense from Adjusted EBITDA as they are a non-cash transaction and do not reflect the ordinary course of business.
Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our Change in fair value of customer warrants.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary liquidity requirements include debt service, funding dividends on Preferred Stock and working capital needs. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash generated from operations, external sources of financing, including our Credit Agreement, senior notes, and equity offerings, and our Preferred Stock, each of which are described below and in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report in further detail. We believe that our current operating plan and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements, including for at least the next twelve months. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing to fund business activities such as strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital needs or other purposes beyond the next twelve months. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets. In addition, our existing indebtedness could limit its ability to obtain additional financing.
Cash and Cash Flows
The following discussion on our cash flows is inclusive of continued and discontinued operations, consistent with our presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with GAAP.
At March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $194.8 million, and we had total debt of $275.9 million, of which $25.4 million is unamortized premium. We also had $191.7 million of gross Preferred Stock outstanding. Our foreign business locations held $12.8 million of our total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026. In general, our foreign cash balances are not available to fund our U.S. operations unless the funds are repatriated or used to repay intercompany loans made from the U.S. to foreign entities, which could expose us to taxes we have not made a provision for in our results of operations. We have no plans to repatriate these funds to the U.S. We had $37.9 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 related to collateral for certain letters of credit as part of funding for several ongoing projects.
Cash flows provided by operating activities was $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is primarily attributable to our current net loss of $76.9 million being offset by non-cash expenses arising from a change in fair value of customer warrants of $70.2 million, stock-based compensation of $13.2 million, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of $2.5 million and amortization of customer warrants of $1.1 million. Cash flows provided by operating activities also included movements in certain operating assets and liabilities such increases in accounts payable of $39.6 million and accrued and other current liabilities of $5.6 million, resulting from the timing of payments to vendors. Partially offsetting these inflows were outflows from accounts receivable – trade, net of $8.0 million, contracts in progress of $18.0 million and advanced billings on contracts of $5.5 million which are primarily impacted by timing differences related to progress made on ongoing projects, billings, and collections, increased operating costs as a result of increased revenue, and may fluctuate significantly period to period.
Cash flows used in operating activities was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is primarily attributed to the current net loss of $22.0 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments arising from the impairment of long-lived assets of $8.8 million, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of $2.5 million, deferred financing fees of $1.5 million and operating lease expenses of $1.7 million. Cash flows used in operating activities also included movements in certain operating assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable - trade, net of $14.3 million, advance billings on contracts
of $7.5 million and pension liabilities, accrued postretirement benefits and employee benefits of $3.6 million, which are primarily impacted by collections, timing differences related to billings and contributions made to the plan. These were partially offset by cash flow increases from accounts payable of $19.6 million and contracts in progress of $11.0 million which are primarily impacted by timing of payments to vendors and timing differences related to progress on ongoing projects.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $3.5 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to capital expenditures associated with BrightLoop™ projects. 2026 is partially offset by proceeds from sale of business of $3.6 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities was $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to payments on the Axos Credit Agreement of $29.1 million, buybacks of Senior Notes due 2026 of $15.0 million, employee tax withholding on stock-based compensation of $6.2 million and Preferred Stock dividend payment of $3.7 million, partially offset by the issuance of common stock of $34.1 million. Cash flows used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the payment of the Preferred Stock dividends of $3.7 million and net payments on the Axos Credit Agreement of $1.4 million, partially offset by the issuance of common stock of $5.2 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risks has not changed materially from those disclosed under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation and because of the previously-reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.
Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026 were not effective, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
Remediation Plan and Status
As of March 31, 2026, the material weaknesses previously disclosed have not yet been remediated. In response to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, management has initiated remediation efforts, which includes:
•hired and are continuing to hire professionals with the appropriate skills to perform control activities;
•continuing to augment our internal resources by employing several consultants with deep experience in key areas and we plan to continue to utilize these resources until we add personnel to our staff mentioned above;
•developing and providing incremental training to the accounting and financial reporting team;
•designing and implementing additional and/or enhanced controls in the areas of account reconciliations, contract accounting, financial statement analysis prepared in conformity with GAAP and manual journal entries;
•enhancing controls over segregation of duties;
•with the guidance and participation of our internal audit function, we have a monitoring program to:
•evaluate and assess whether controls are present and functioning in a timely manner; and,
•hold individuals accountable for their internal control responsibilities.
We will continue to work toward full remediation of the material weaknesses to improve our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new and redesigned controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations in Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls, will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error, mistake or fraud. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals or groups of persons or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements in our public reports due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
