***** Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information *****

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include words such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “likely,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “target,” “goal,” “potential,” “estimate,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “have,” “due,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “contemplate,” “continue” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operational performance or other events.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the impact of COVID-19, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the capital markets and global economic climate generally; our ability to integrate acquired businesses and the impact of those acquired businesses on our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition, including our recent acquisitions of Fosler Construction Company Inc., VODA A/S, Fossil Power Systems, Inc., and Optimus Industries, LLC; our recognition of any asset impairments as a result of any decline in the value of our assets or our efforts to dispose of any assets in the future; our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient financing to provide liquidity to meet our business objectives, surety bonds, letters of credit and similar financing; our ability to comply with the requirements of, and to service the indebtedness under, our debt facility agreements; our ability to pay dividends on our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock; our ability to make interest payments on our 8.125% senior notes due 2026 and our 6.50% notes due 2026; the highly competitive nature of our businesses and our ability to win work, including identified project opportunities in our pipeline; general economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates; cancellations of and adjustments to backlog and the resulting impact from using backlog as an indicator of future earnings; our ability to perform contracts on time and on budget, in accordance with the schedules and terms established by the applicable contracts with customers; failure by third-party subcontractors, partners or suppliers to perform their obligations on time and as specified; our ability to successfully resolve claims by vendors for goods and services provided and claims by customers for items under warranty; our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from our restructuring plans, and other cost savings initiatives; our ability to successfully address productivity and schedule issues in our B&W Renewable, B&W Environmental and B&W Thermal segments; our ability to successfully partner with third parties to win and execute contracts within our B&W Environmental, B&W Renewable and B&W Thermal segments; changes in our effective tax rate and tax positions, including any limitation on our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax assets; our ability to successfully manage research and development projects and costs, including our efforts to successfully develop and commercialize new technologies and products; the operating risks normally incident to our lines of business, including professional liability, product liability, warranty and other claims against us; difficulties we may encounter in obtaining regulatory or other necessary permits or approvals; changes in actuarial assumptions and market fluctuations that affect our net pension liabilities and income; our ability to successfully compete with current and future competitors; our ability to negotiate and maintain good relationships with labor unions; changes in pension and medical expenses associated with our retirement benefit programs; social, political, competitive and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business or seek new business, and the other factors specified and set forth under "Risk Factors" in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 8, 2022.

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, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.

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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report. We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We present the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, ("COVID-19"), was identified in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread globally. This global pandemic has disrupted business operations, including trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, and daily life throughout the world. Our business has been, and continues to be, adversely impacted by the measures taken and restrictions imposed in the countries in which we operate and by local governments and others to control the spread of this virus. These measures and restrictions have varied widely and have been subject to significant changes from time to time depending on changes in the severity of the virus in these countries and localities. These restrictions, including curtailment of travel and other activity, negatively impact our ability to conduct business.

Disruption to our global supply changes from COVID-19 has included impacts to the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products. We also observed significant disruptions of the operations of our logistics, service providers, delays in shipments and negative impacts to pricing of certain of our products. Disruptions and delays in our supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely impact our ability to meet our customers’ demands. Additionally, the prioritization of shipments of certain products as a result of the pandemic could cause delays in the shipment or delivery of our products. Such disruptions could result in reduced sales.

The volatility and variability of the virus has limited our ability to forecast the impact of COVID-19 on our customers and our business. The ongoing impact of COVID-19, including evolving strains such as the delta and omicron variants, has resulted in the reimposition of certain restrictions and may lead to the implementation of other restrictions in response to efforts to reduce the spread of the virus. These varying and changing events have caused many of the projects we had anticipated to begin during the prior two years to be delayed into 2022 and beyond. Many customers and projects require B&W's employees to travel to customer and project worksites. Certain customers and significant projects are located in areas where travel restrictions have been imposed, certain customers have closed or reduced on-site activities, and timelines for completion of certain projects have, as noted above, been extended into 2022 and beyond. Additionally, out of concern for our employees, even where restrictions permit employees to return to our offices and worksites, we incurred additional costs to protect our employees and advised those who are uncomfortable returning to worksites due to the pandemic that they are not required to do so for an indefinite period of time. The resulting uncertainty concerning, among other things, the spread and economic impact of the virus has also caused significant volatility and, at times, illiquidity in global equity and credit markets. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 and its variants on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent outbreaks, as well as the availability, effectiveness and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. and abroad, all of which are uncertain, out of our control, and cannot be predicted.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

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


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2022		2021		2022		2021


Net (loss) income attributable to stockholders of common stock	$	(6,282)	$	1,395	$	(18,261)	$	(14,069)

Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share	88,029		85,724		88,011		78,589
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance units	—		1,279		—		—
Weighted average shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share	88,029		87,003		88,011		78,589

Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	(0.07)	$	0.02	$	(0.21)	$	(0.18)




Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	(0.07)	$	0.02	$	(0.21)	$	(0.18)

Because we incurred a net loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and in the six months ended June 30, 2021, basic and diluted shares are the same.

If we were in a net income position during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, diluted shares would include an additional 0.9 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively. If we had net income in the three months ended June 30, 2022, diluted shares would include an additional 0.9 million shares.

We excluded 0.4 million and 0.3 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. We excluded 0.4 million and 0.4 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operations are assessed based on three reportable market-facing segments as part of the Company's strategic, market-focused organizational and re-branding initiative to accelerate growth and provide stakeholders with improved visibility into our renewable and environmental growth platforms. Our reportable segments are as follows:

•Babcock & Wilcox Renewable: Cost-effective technologies for efficient and environmentally sustainable power and heat generation, including waste-to-energy, solar construction and installation, biomass energy and black liquor systems for the pulp and paper industry. B&W’s leading technologies support a circular economy by diverting waste from landfills to use for power generation and replacing fossil fuels while recovering metals and reducing emissions.

•Babcock & Wilcox Environmental: A full suite of best-in-class emissions control and environmental technology solutions for utility, waste to energy, biomass, carbon black and industrial steam generation applications around the world. B&W’s broad experience includes systems for cooling, ash handling, particulate control, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides removal, chemical looping for carbon control, and mercury control.

•Babcock & Wilcox Thermal: Steam generation equipment, aftermarket parts, construction, maintenance and field services for plants in the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. B&W has an extensive global base of installed equipment for utilities and general industrial applications including refining, petrochemical, food processing, metals and others.

Revenues exclude eliminations of revenues generated from sales to other segments or to other product lines within the segment. An analysis of our operations by segment is as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is a non-GAAP metric defined as the sum of the adjusted EBITDA for each of the segments, further adjusted for corporate allocations and research and development costs. At a segment level, the adjusted EBITDA presented below is consistent with the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business and is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, restructuring activities, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management and are not allocated to the segment. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate its performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, the Company believes that its presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting its financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the revised definition and present separate reconciling items in our reconciliation, including business transition costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for each segment is presented below with a reconciliation from net loss.

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

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS

Revenue Recognition

We generate the vast majority of our revenues from the supply of, and aftermarket services for, steam-generating, environmental and auxiliary equipment. We also earn revenue from the supply of custom-engineered cooling systems for

steam applications along with related aftermarket services.

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services, accounted for 21% and 18% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 20% and 22% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services, accounted for 79% and 82% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 80% and 78% of our revenue for six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

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.

Refer to Note 3 for our disaggregation of revenue by product line.

Net changes in gross profit for changes in estimates for over time contracts	$	2,736	$	(823)	$	3,215	$	844

B&W Renewable Projects

During March 2022, we determined that our Fosler Solar reporting unit had nine projects located in the United States that existed at the time we acquired Fosler on September 30, 2021 which generated losses that arose due to the status of certain construction activities, existing at acquisition date, not adequately disclosed in the sales agreement and not recognized in the financial records of the seller. As of June 30, 2022, we recorded an increase in goodwill of $14.4 million, primarily resulting from the initial recognition of $14.1 million of accrued liabilities and $0.4 million of warranty accruals as preliminary measurement period adjustments. We have submitted insurance claims to recover a portion of these losses as of June 30, 2022.

We accrue estimated expense included in Cost of operations on our 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 accrued when the contract becomes a loss contract. Additions at June 30, 2022 included $0.4 million related to the Fosler projects, as described in Note 4. In addition, we record specific provisions or reductions where we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly differ from the accrued estimates. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 10 – RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

The Company incurred restructuring charges (benefit) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. The charges (benefit) primarily consist of severance and related costs to actions taken as part of the Company’s strategic, market-focused organizational and re-branding initiative.

Senior Notes

8.125% Senior Notes

During 2021, we completed sales of $151.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “8.125% Senior Notes”) for net proceeds of approximately $146.6 million. In addition to the completed sales, we issued $35.0 million of 8.125% Senior Notes to B. Riley Financial, Inc., a related party, in exchange for a deemed prepayment of our then existing Last Out Term Loan Tranche A-3. The 8.125% Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.125% per annum which is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on April 30, 2021. The 8.125% Senior Notes mature on February 28, 2026.

On March 31, 2021, we entered into a sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., a related party, in which we may sell to or through B. Riley Securities, Inc., from time to time, additional 8.125% Senior Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The 8.125% Senior Notes have the same terms as (other than date of issuance), form a single series of debt securities with and have the same CUSIP number and are fungible with the initial 8.125% Senior Notes issuance in 2021.

During the first six months of 2022, the Company sold $2.4 million aggregate principal of 8.125% Senior Notes under the sales agreement described above for $2.4 million of net proceeds.

6.50% Senior Notes

During 2021, we completed sales of $151.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.50% senior notes due in 2026 (the “6.50% Senior Notes”) for net proceeds of approximately $145.8 million. Interest on the 6.50% Senior Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The 6.50% Senior Notes mature on December 31, 2026.

The components of the Company's senior notes at June 30, 2022 are as follows:

Revolving Debt

On June 30, 2021, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“PNC”) and a letter of credit agreement (the “Letter of Credit Agreement”) with PNC, pursuant to which PNC agreed to issue up to $110 million in letters of credit that is secured in part by cash collateral provided by an affiliate of MSD Partners, MSD PCOF Partners XLV, LLC (“MSD”), as well as a reimbursement, guaranty and security agreement with MSD, as administrative agent, and the cash collateral providers from time to time party thereto, along with certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, pursuant to which we are obligated to reimburse MSD and any other cash collateral provider to the extent the cash collateral provided by MSD and any other cash collateral provider to secure the Letter of Credit Agreement is drawn to satisfy draws on letters of credit (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) and collectively with the Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement, the “Debt Documents” and the facilities thereunder, the “Debt Facilities”). The obligations of the Company under each of the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company. B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley”), a related party, has provided a guaranty of payment with regard to the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, as described below. The Company expects to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Debt Facilities for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2022, no borrowings have occurred under the Revolving Credit Agreement and under the Letter of Credit Agreement, usage consisted of $16.1 million of financial letters of credit and $96.2 million of performance letters of credit.

Each of the Debt Facilities has a maturity date of June 30, 2025. The interest rates applicable under the Revolving Credit Agreement float at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus 2.0% or (ii) 1 or 3 month reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.0%. The interest rates applicable to the Reimbursement Agreement float at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus 6.50% or (ii) 1 or 3 month reserve-adjusted LIBOR plus 7.50%. Under the Letter of Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay letter of credit fees on outstanding letters of credit equal to (i) administrative fees of 0.75% and (ii) fronting fees of 0.25%. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay letter of credit fees on outstanding letters of credit equal to (i) letter of credit commitment fees of 3.0% and (ii) letter of credit fronting fees of 0.25%. Under each of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a facility fee equal to 0.375% per annum of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Letter of Credit Agreement, respectively. The Company is permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement prior to maturity without premium or penalty. Prepayments under the Reimbursement Agreement shall be subject to a prepayment fee of 2.25% in the first year after closing, 2.0% in the second year after closing and 1.25% in the third year after closing with no prepayment fee payable thereafter.

The Company has mandatory prepayment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement upon the receipt of proceeds from certain dispositions or casualty or condemnation events. The Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement require mandatory prepayments to the extent of an over-advance.

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

The Debt Documents contain certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Debt Documents require the Company to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including a quarterly fixed charge coverage test of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, a quarterly senior net leverage ratio test of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, a non-guarantor cash repatriation covenant not to exceed $35 million at any one time, a minimum liquidity covenant of at least $30.0 million at all times, and an annual cap on maintenance capital expenditures of $7.5 million. The Debt Documents also contain customary events of default (subject, in

certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the respective facility, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the applicable Debt Agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Debt Documents may become due and payable immediately.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Debt Documents on June 30, 2021, B. Riley, a related party, entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of MSD, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Reimbursement Agreement, for the ratable benefit of MSD, the cash collateral providers and each co-agent or sub-agent appointed by MSD from time to time (the “B. Riley Guaranty”). The B. Riley Guaranty provides for the guarantee of all of the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. The B. Riley Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others, certain events of default and the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. Under a fee letter with B. Riley, the Company agreed to pay B. Riley $0.9 million per annum in connection with the B. Riley Guaranty. The Company entered into a reimbursement agreement with B. Riley governing the Company’s obligation to reimburse B. Riley to the extent the B. Riley Guaranty is called upon by the agent or lenders under the Reimbursement Agreement.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

Certain of our subsidiaries, 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. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees outside of our Letter of Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022 was $50.5 million. The aggregate value of the outstanding letters of credit provided under the Letter of Credit Agreement backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $38.5 million as of June 30, 2022. Of the outstanding letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Agreement, $58.5 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation.

We have also 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 the 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. As of June 30, 2022, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of our contracts totaled approximately $293.3 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit backstopping surety bonds was $9.7 million.

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 Indebtedness - Loans Payable

As of June 30, 2022, our Denmark subsidiary has an unsecured interest-free loan of $0.8 million under a local government loan program related to COVID-19 that is payable May 2023. In addition, the Company had $2.5 million in a loan payable related to financed insurance premiums payable April 2023 and a $0.4 million loan payable related to a recent acquisition. These loan payables are included in current loans payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fosler Construction has loans, primarily for vehicles and equipment, totaling $0.6 million at June 30, 2022. The vehicle and equipment loans are included in long term loans payables in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 13 – PREFERRED STOCK

In May 2021, we completed a public offering of our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between us and B. Riley Securities, Inc. At the closing, we issued to the public 4,444,700 shares of our Preferred Stock, at an offering price of $25.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $106.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions but before expenses. The Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and is perpetual and has no maturity date. The Preferred Stock has a cumulative cash dividend, when and as if declared by our Board of Directors, at a rate of 7.75% per year on the liquidation preference amount of $25.00 per share and payable quarterly in arrears.

The Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights as to the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up: (1) senior to all classes or series of our common stock and to all other capital stock issued by us expressly designated as ranking junior to the Preferred Stock; (2) on parity with any future class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Preferred Stock; (3) junior to any future class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to the Preferred Stock; and (4) junior to all our existing and future indebtedness.

The Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund. We will pay cumulative cash dividends on the Preferred Stock when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, only out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on the stated amount of $25.00 per share of the Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to 7.75% (equivalent to $1.9375 per year), payable quarterly in arrears. Dividends on the Preferred Stock declared by our Board of Directors will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year.

During the six months ending June 30, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved dividends totaling $7.4 million. There are no cumulative undeclared dividends of the Preferred Stock at June 30, 2022.

On June 1, 2021, the Company and B. Riley, a related party, entered into an agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which we (i) issued B. Riley 2,916,880 shares of our Preferred Stock, representing an exchange price of $25.00 per share and paid $0.4 million in cash, and (ii) paid $0.9 million in cash to B. Riley for accrued interest due, in exchange for a deemed prepayment of $73.3 million of our then existing term loans with B. Riley under the Company’s prior A&R Credit Agreement.

On July 7, 2021, we entered into a sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., a related party, in connection with the offer to or through B. Riley Securities, Inc., from time to time, additional shares of Preferred Stock up to an aggregate amount of $76.0 million of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock has the same terms and have the same CUSIP number and is fungible with, the Preferred Stock issued during May 2021. For the six months ending June 30, 2022, the Company has sold no additional Preferred Stock pursuant to the sales agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company sold $7.7 million aggregate principal amount of Preferred Stock for $7.7 million of net proceeds.

NOTE 14 – COMMON STOCK

On February 12, 2021, we completed a public offering of our common stock pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 9, 2021, between us and B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters. At the time of closing, we issued to the public 29,487,180 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $163.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses. The net proceeds of the offering were used to make a prepayment toward the balance outstanding under our then existing U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and permanently reduced the commitments under our senior secured credit facilities.

On May 19, 2022, at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the stockholders of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Plan Amendment became effective upon such stockholder approval. The Plan Amendment increased the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for award grants under the 2021 Plan from 1,250,000 shares to 5,250,000 shares. The 2021 Plan replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In addition to the 5,250,000 shares available for award grant purposes under the 2021 Plan as described above, any shares of Company common stock underlying any outstanding award granted under the 2015 Plan that, following May 20, 2021, expires, or is terminated, surrendered, or forfeited for any reason without issuance of such shares shall also be available for the grant of new awards under the 2021 Plan.

NOTE 16 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, income tax benefit was $(1.4) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2%. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, income tax expense was $3.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 53.0%.

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, income tax benefit was $(0.1) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.1%. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, income tax expense was $6.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (107.8)%.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate due to valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and discrete items. We have unfavorable discrete items of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which primarily represent withholding taxes. We had unfavorable discrete items of $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which primarily represented withholding taxes and deferred tax liability remeasurement due to an enacted change in tax law.

We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the United States federal statutory rate of 21%. The most significant of these foreign operations are located in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with effective tax rates ranging between approximately 19% and 30%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions where we 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 17 – CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Relating to Boiler Installation and Supply Contract

On December 27, 2019, a complaint was filed against Babcock & Wilcox by P.H. Glatfelter Company (“Glatfelter”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 1:19-cv-02215-JPW, alleging claims of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the “Glatfelter Litigation”). The complaint alleges damages in excess of $58.9 million. On March 16, 2020 we filed a motion to dismiss, and on December 14, 2020 the court issued its order dismissing the fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims and finding that, in the event that parties’ contract is found to be valid, Plaintiffs’ claims for damages will be subject to the contractual cap on liability (defined as the $11.7 million purchase price subject to certain adjustments). On January 11, 2021, we filed our answer and a counterclaim for breach of contract, seeking damages in excess of $2.9 million. We intend to continue to vigorously litigate the action. However, given the stage of the litigation, it is too early to determine if the outcome of the Glatfelter Litigation will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Stockholder Derivative and Class Action Litigation

On April 14, 2020, a putative B&W stockholder (“Plaintiff”) filed a derivative and class action complaint against certain of the Company’s directors (current and former), executives and significant stockholders (collectively, “Defendants”) and the Company (as a nominal defendant). The action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and is captioned Parker v. Avril,

et al., C.A. No. 2020-0280-PAF (the “Stockholder Litigation”). Plaintiff alleges that Defendants, among other things, did not properly discharge their fiduciary duties in connection with the 2019 rights offering and related transactions.

On June 10, 2022, after pursuing private mediation, the parties to the Stockholder Litigation reached a settlement agreement in principle to resolve the Stockholder Litigation. That settlement agreement includes (i) certain corporate governance changes that the Company is willing to implement in the future, (ii) a total payment of $9.5 million, and (iii) other customary terms and conditions. All attorney’s fees, administration costs, and expenses associated with the settlement of this matter will be deducted from the total payment amount, other than the cost of notice, which will be borne by the Company. Of the total settlement amount, the Company will pay $4.75 million on behalf of B. Riley Financial, Inc. and Vintage Capital Management, LLC pursuant to existing contractual indemnification obligations to settle Plaintiff’s direct claims asserted against these entities. This $4.75 million, after the deduction of attorney’s fees and the customary settlement costs and expenses described above, will be paid to shareholders of the Company, excluding any Defendant in the Stockholder Litigation. The remaining $4.75 million of the total settlement amount, after the deduction of attorney’s fees and the customary settlement costs and expenses described above, will be paid to the Company from insurance proceeds and the contribution of certain other parties to the Stockholder Litigation to settle the derivative claims asserted by Plaintiff on behalf of the Company. The proposed settlement, which remains subject to court approval, would resolve all claims that have been, could have been, could now be, or in the future could, can, or might be asserted in the Stockholder Litigation. The settlement of this matter remains subject to court approval and the full amount is accrued by the Company at June 30, 2022..

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

We do not currently have contracts directly with Russian entities or businesses and we currently do not do business in Russia directly. We believe the Company’s only involvement with Russia or Russian-entities, involves sales of our products in the amount of approximately $3.1 million by a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary of the Company to non-Russian counterparties who may resell our products to Russian entities or perform services in Russia using our products. The economic sanctions and export-control measures and the ongoing invasion of Ukraine could impact our subsidiary’s rights and responsibilities under the contracts and could result in potential losses to the Company.

Other

Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, 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 our 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 condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our investments in available-for-sale securities are presented in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0-5 years.

Senior Notes

See Note 12 above for a discussion of our senior notes. The fair value of the senior notes is based on readily available quoted market prices as of June 30, 2022.

Senior Notes	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
8.125% Senior Notes due 2026 ('BWSN')	$	188,595	$	179,216
6.50% Senior Notes due 2026 ('BWNB')	$	151,440	$	131,026

Other Financial Instruments

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

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

•Revolving Debt. We base the fair values of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values 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 our Revolving Debt approximated their carrying value at June 30, 2022.

•Warrants. The fair value of the warrants was established using the Black-Scholes option pricing model value approach.

•Contingent consideration: In connection with the Fosler Construction Company acquisition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of targeted revenue thresholds for the year ended December 31, 2022. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0.0 million and $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability is $9.6 million and is classified as a component of other current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration related to the Fosler Construction Company acquisition was categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the markets. The Company evaluates the fair value of contingent consideration and the corresponding liability each reporting period using an option pricing framework. The Company estimates projections during the earn-out period and volatility within the option pricing model captures variability in the potential pay-out. The analysis considers a discount rate applicable to the underlying projections and the risk of the Company paying the future liability.

NOTE 21 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

Fosler Construction

On September 30, 2021, we acquired a 60% controlling ownership stake in Illinois-based solar energy contractor Fosler Construction Company Inc. (“Fosler Construction”). Fosler Construction provides commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar services and owns two community solar projects in Illinois that are being developed under the Illinois Solar for All program. Fosler Construction was founded in 1998 with a track record of successfully completing solar projects profitably with union labor while aligning its model with a growing number of renewable project incentives in the U.S. We believe Fosler Construction is positioned to capitalize on the high-growth solar market in the U.S. and that the acquisition aligns with B&W’s aggressive growth and expansion of our clean and renewable energy businesses. Fosler Construction is reported as part of our B&W Renewable segment, and operates under the name Fosler Solar, a Babcock and Wilcox company.

The total fair value of consideration for the acquisition is $36.0 million, including $27.2 million in cash plus $8.8 million in estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of targeted revenue thresholds for the year ended December 31, 2022. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0.0 million and $10.0 million.

We estimated fair values primarily using the discounted cash flow method at September 30, 2021 for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Any subsequent changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill.

During the first half of 2022, we recorded an increase in goodwill of $14.4 million resulting from the initial recognition of $14.1 million of accrued liabilities and $0.4 million of warranty accruals as preliminary measurement period adjustments, as described in Note 4.

VODA

On November 30, 2021, we acquired 100% ownership of VODA A/S (“VODA”) through our wholly-owned subsidiary, B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance SARL, for approximately $32.9 million. VODA is a Denmark-based multi-brand aftermarket parts and services provider, focusing on energy-producing incineration plants including waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy or other fuels, providing service, engineering services, spare parts as well as general outage support and management. VODA has extensive experience in incineration technology, boiler and pressure parts, SRO, automation, and performance optimization. VODA is reported as part of our B&W Renewable segment and is included in the B&W Renewable Services product line.

We estimated fair values primarily using the discounted cash flow method at November 30, 2021 for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Any subsequent changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill.

Fossil Power Systems

On February 1, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Fossil Power Systems, Inc. (“FPS”) for approximately $59.2 million. The consideration paid for FPS included a hold-back of $5.9 million, payable twelve months from the date of the acquisition if certain conditions of the purchase agreement are met and is recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in restricted cash and cash equivalents and other accrued liabilities.

FPS is a leading designer and manufacturer of hydrogen, natural gas and renewable pulp and paper combustion equipment including ignitors, plant controls and safety systems based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada and is reported as part of our B&W Thermal segment.

We estimated fair values primarily using the discounted cash flow method at February 1, 2022 for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Any subsequent changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill.

Optimus Industries

On February 28, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Optimus Industries, LLC ("Optimus Industries") for approximately $19.2 million. Optimus Industries designs and manufactures waste heat recovery products for use in power generation, petrochemical, and process industries, including package boilers, watertube and firetube waste heat boilers, economizers, superheaters, waste heat recovery equipment and units for sulfuric acid plants and is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Chanute, Kansas. Optimus Industries is reported as part of our B&W Thermal segment.

We estimated fair values primarily using the discounted cash flow method at February 28, 2022 for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Any subsequent changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill.

Divestitures

On June 30, 2022 the Company sold development rights related to a future solar project for $8.0 million. In conjunction with the sale, the Company recognized a $7.0 million gain on sale and recorded an $8.0 million receivable within accounts receivable – other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Certain real property assets for the Copley, Ohio location were sold on March 15, 2021 for $4.0 million. We received $3.3 million of net proceeds after adjustments and recognized a gain on sale of $1.9 million. In conjunction with the sale, we executed a leaseback agreement commencing March 16, 2021, which expires on March 31, 2033.

Certain real property assets for the Lancaster, Ohio location were sold on August 13, 2021 for $18.9 million. We received $15.8 million of net proceeds after adjustments and expenses and recognized a gain on sale of $13.9 million.

Additional adjustments may be necessary as this is finalized.

NOTE 22 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We adopted the following accounting standard during the first six months of 2022:

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The

amendments also improve the consistency of diluted earnings per share calculations. The impact of this standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

New accounting standards not yet adopted that could affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendment in this update provides an exception to fair value measurement for contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination. As a result, contract assets and contract liabilities will be recognized and measured by the acquirer in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendment also improves consistency in revenue recognition in the post-acquisition period for acquired contracts as compared to contracts entered into after the business combination. The amendment in this update is effective for public business entities in January 2023; all other entities have an additional year to adopt. Early adoption is permitted; however, if the new guidance is adopted in an interim period, it is required to be applied retrospectively to all business combinations within the year of adoption. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This update is an amendment to the new credit losses standard, ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that was issued in June 2016 and clarifies that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of Topic 326. The new credit losses standard changes the accounting for credit losses for certain instruments. The new measurement approach is based on expected losses, commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases, and reinsurance and trade receivables, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The standard also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The provisions of this standard will primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, contracts in progress, and potentially our impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities (to the extent we have any upon adoption). For public, smaller reporting companies, this standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of both standards on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Financial Statements under Item 1 within 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. See Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

B&W is a growing, globally-focused renewable, environmental and thermal technologies provider with over 150 years of experience providing diversified energy and emissions control solutions to a broad range of industrial, electrical utility,

municipal and other customers. B&W’s innovative products and services are organized into three market-facing segments. Our reportable segments are as follows:

•Babcock & Wilcox Renewable: Cost-effective technologies for efficient and environmentally sustainable power and heat generation, including waste-to-energy, solar construction and installation, biomass energy and black liquor systems for the pulp and paper industry. B&W’s leading technologies support a circular economy, diverting waste from landfills to use for power generation and replacing fossil fuels, while recovering metals and reducing emissions.

•Babcock & Wilcox Environmental: A full suite of best-in-class emissions control and environmental technology solutions for utility, waste to energy, biomass, carbon black, and industrial steam generation applications around the world. B&W’s broad experience includes systems for cooling, ash handling, particulate control, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides removal, chemical looping for carbon control, and mercury control.

On February 1, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Fossil Power Systems, Inc. for approximately $59.2 million. Fossil Power Systems, Inc., is a leading designer and manufacturer of hydrogen, natural gas and renewable pulp and paper combustion equipment including ignitors, plant controls and safety systems based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Fossil Power Systems, Inc. is reported as part of our B&W Thermal segment.

On February 28, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Optimus Industries, LLC for approximately $19.2 million. Optimus Industries, LLC designs and manufactures waste heat recovery products for use in power generation, petrochemical, and process industries, including package boilers, watertube and firetube waste heat boilers, economizers, superheaters, waste heat recovery equipment and units for sulfuric acid plants and is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Chanute, Kansas. Optimus Industries, LLC is reported as part of our B&W Thermal segment.

Our business depends significantly on the capital, operations and maintenance expenditures of global electric power generating companies, including renewable and thermal powered heat generation industries and industrial facilities with environmental compliance policy requirements. Several factors may influence these expenditures, including:

•climate change initiatives promoting environmental policies which include renewable energy options utilizing waste-to-energy or biomass to meet legislative requirements and clean energy portfolio standards in the United States, European, Middle East and Asian markets;

•requirements for environmental improvements in various global markets;

•expectation of future governmental requirements to further limit or reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions in the United States, Europe and other international climate change sensitive countries;

•prices for electricity, along with the cost of production and distribution including the cost of fuels within the United States, Europe, Middle East and Asian based countries;

•demand for electricity and other end products of steam-generating facilities;

•level of capacity utilization at operating power plants and other industrial uses of steam production;

•requirements for maintenance and upkeep at operating power plants to combat the accumulated effects of usage;

•prices of and access to materials, particularly as a result of rising inflation and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine;

•overall strength of the industrial industry; and

•ability of electric power generating companies and other steam users to raise capital.

Customer demand is heavily affected by the variations in our customers' business cycles and by the overall economies and energy, environmental and noise abatement needs of the countries in which they operate.

We have manufacturing facilities in Mexico, the United States, Denmark, the United Kingdom and China. Many aspects of our operations and properties could be affected by political developments, including the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict, 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.

Through our restructuring efforts, we continue to make significant progress to make our cost structure more variable and to reduce costs. We expect our cost saving measures to continue to translate to bottom-line results, with top-line growth driven by opportunities for our core technologies and support services across the B&W Renewable, B&W Environmental and B&W Thermal segments globally.

We expect to continue to explore other cost saving initiatives to improve cash generation and evaluate additional non-core asset sales to continue to strengthen our liquidity. There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate.

In addition, we continue to evaluate further dispositions, opportunities for additional cost savings and opportunities for subcontractor recoveries and other claims where appropriate and available. If the value of our business was to decline, or if we were to determine that we were unable to recognize an amount in connection with any proposed disposition in excess of the carrying value of any disposed asset, we may be required to recognize impairments for one or more of our assets that may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue is the total amount of income generated by our business and consists primarily of income from our renewable, environmental and thermal technology solutions that we provide to a broad range of industrial electric utility and other customers. Revenue from our operations is assessed based on our three market-facing segments, Babcock & Wilcox Renewable, Babcock & Wilcox Environmental and Babcock & Wilcox Thermal.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) consists primarily of our revenue minus costs and expenses, including cost of operations, SG&A, and advisory fees and settlement costs.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) consists primarily of operating income minus other income and expenses, including interest income, foreign exchange and expense related to our benefit plans.

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion of our business segment results of operations includes a discussion of adjusted EBITDA, which when used on a consolidated basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA is included in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” 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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Revenues increased by $18.2 million to $221.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $202.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Fosler Construction and VODA within our Renewable segment, higher overall volume in our Environmental segment and the acquisitions of Fossil Power Systems and Optimus Industries within our Thermal segment being partially offset by a lower level of construction activity in our Thermal segment. The negative impacts on the global economy as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine military conflict adversely impacted each of our segments causing shortages of supplies and materials and affecting the timing of revenue on several projects. Segment specific changes are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Net loss increased by $6.1 million to a net loss of $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from net income of $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Operating income increased $0.9 million to $3.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The higher net loss is primarily related to higher interest expense and foreign exchange losses in the current period. Restructuring activities, advisory fees, research and development, depreciation and amortization expense, pension and other postretirement benefit plans, foreign exchange, and income taxes are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Revenues increased by $54.0 million to $425.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $371.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Fosler Construction and VODA within our Renewable segment, higher overall volume in our Environmental segment and the acquisitions of Fossil Power Systems and Optimus Industries within our Thermal segment being partially offset by a lower level of construction activity in our Thermal segment. The negative impacts on the global economy as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine military conflict adversely impacted each of our segments causing shortages of supplies and materials and affecting the timing of revenue on several projects. Segment specific changes are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Net loss improved by $0.6 million to a net loss of $11.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to a net loss of $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating loss improved $0.6 million to an operating loss of $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to an operating loss of $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The lower net loss is primarily related to positive contributions from the acquisitions, as described above

offset partially by a lower level of construction activity in our Thermal segment. Restructuring activities, advisory fees, research and development, depreciation and amortization expense, pension and other postretirement benefit plans, foreign exchange, and income taxes are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Bookings and Backlog

Bookings and backlog are our measure of remaining performance obligations under our sales contracts. 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 the customers to payment 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 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. We do not include orders of our unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog.

Bookings represent changes to the backlog. Bookings include additions from booking new business, subtractions from customer cancellations or modifications, changes in estimates of liquidated damages 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is a non-GAAP metric defined as the sum of the adjusted EBITDA for each of the segments, further adjusted for corporate allocations and research and development costs. At a segment level, the adjusted EBITDA presented below is consistent with the way the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business and is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, restructuring activities, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management and are not allocated to the segment. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate its performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, the Company believes that its presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting its financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the revised definition and present separate reconciling items in our reconciliation, including business transition costs.

Adjusted EBITDA in the B&W Thermal segment increased $7.4 million to $30.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which is mainly attributable to favorable product mix and the acquisitions of Fossil Power Systems and Optimus Industries which more than offset the overall decrease in volume, as described above.

Corporate

Corporate costs in adjusted EBITDA include SG&A expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. These costs include, among others, certain executive, compliance, strategic, reporting and legal expenses associated with governance of the total organization and being an SEC registrant. Corporate costs increased $1.2 million to $4.2 million in three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $3.0 million incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased tax and accounting services.

Corporate costs increased $2.9 million to $8.6 million in six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $5.7 million incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased tax and accounting services.

Advisory Fees and Settlement Costs

Advisory fees and settlement costs increased $0.6 million to $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $4.5 million in the comparable period of 2021 and advisory fees and settlement costs increased $1.3 million to $9.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $7.8 million in the comparable period of 2021. The increase is primarily related to higher legal fees and other costs incurred in the current quarter.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are focused on improving our products through innovations to reduce their cost and make them more competitive, as well as to reduce performance risk of our products to better meet our and our customers’ expectations. Research and development expenses totaled $1.1 million and $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Restructuring

Restructuring actions across our business units and corporate functions resulted in $(0.1) million and $2.4 million of (benefit) expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.0 million and $3.4 million of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year comparable periods is due to lower level of restructuring actions.

Transition Costs

Transition costs across our corporate and business functions resulted in $1.9 million and $4.5 million of expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These charges primarily result from actions taken to outsource certain tasks to offshore service providers or to transfer administrative and compliance tasks to global service providers as part of our strategic efforts to reduce future selling, general and administrative costs. Transition costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $2.6 million and $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and depreciation expense was $4.8 million and $5.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Amortization expense was $3.1 million and $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, amortization expense was $7.1 million and $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

We recognize benefits from our defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans based on actuarial calculations primarily because our expected return on assets is greater than our service cost. Service cost is low because our plan benefits are frozen except for a small number of hourly participants.

Our pension costs also include mark-to-market ("MTM") adjustments from time to time and are primarily a result of changes in the discount rate, curtailments and settlements. Any MTM charge or gain should not be considered to be representative of future MTM adjustments as such events are not currently predicted and are in each case subject to market conditions and actuarial assumptions as of the date of the event giving rise to the MTM adjustment. There were no MTM adjustments for our other postretirement benefit plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Refer to Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.

Foreign Exchange

We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations into United States dollars at current exchange rates, and we translate items in our statement of operations at average exchange rates for the periods presented. We record adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We report foreign currency transaction gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign exchange was a gain (loss) of $(4.3) million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a gain (loss) of $(1.2) million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily related to unhedged intercompany loans denominated in European currencies to fund foreign operations.

Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands, except for percentages)	2022			2021			$ Change		2022			2021			$ Change
(Loss) income before income taxes	$	(4,349)		$	6,687		$	(11,036)	$	(11,803)		$	(5,920)		$	(5,883)
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(1,355)		$	3,546		$	(4,901)	$	(125)		$	6,382		$	(6,507)
Effective tax rate	31.2		%	53.0		%			1.1		%	(107.8)		%

Our income tax expense in the second quarter of 2022 reflects a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, except in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sweden. 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.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 is not reflective of the United States statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items. In certain jurisdictions (namely, Italy) where the Company anticipates a loss for the fiscal year or incurs a loss for the year-to-date period for which a tax benefit cannot be realized in accordance with ASC 740, the Company excludes the loss in that jurisdiction from the overall computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary liquidity requirements include debt service, funding of 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, senior notes, equity offerings, including our Preferred Stock, and revolving credit agreement which are described in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report in further detail along with other sources of liquidity.

During the first six months of 2022, we executed the following actions:

•on February 1, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Fossil Power Systems, Inc. for approximately $59.2 million, excluding working capital adjustments as described in Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report;

•on February 28, 2022, we acquired 100% ownership of Optimus Industries, LLC for approximately $19.0 million, excluding working capital adjustments as described in Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report; and

•the Company sold $2.4 million aggregate principal of 8.125% Senior Notes and received $2.4 million of net proceeds as described in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report.

See Note 12, Note 13, Note 14 and Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our external sources of financing and equity offerings.

Cash and Cash Flows

At June 30, 2022, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $71.5 million and we had total debt of $334.3 million as well as $191.7 million of gross preferred stock outstanding. Our foreign business locations held $33.2 million of our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022. 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 presently have not made a provision for in our results of operations. We presently have no plans to repatriate these funds to the U.S. In addition, we had $1.2 million of restricted cash at June 30, 2022 related to collateral for certain letters of credit.

Cash used in operations was $63.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, which is primarily attributable to the net loss, $17.5 million reduction in pension, postretirement and employee benefit liabilities and a $26.9 million net decrease in operating cash outflows associated with changes in working capital. Cash used in operations was $86.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which is primarily represented in the $40.3 million change in postretirement and employee benefit liabilities and a $45.7 million net decrease in operating cash outflows associated with changes in working capital.

Cash flows from investing activities used net cash of $65.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the acquisitions of business of $64.9 million and $2.7 million of capital expenditures. Cash flows from investing activities provided net cash of $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily related to proceeds from the sale of business and assets and net change in available-for-sale securities, offset by $2.2 million of capital expenditures.

Cash flows from financing activities used net cash of $15.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to the payment of the preferred stock dividend of $7.5 million offset by the senior note proceeds of $2.0 million. Cash flows from financing activities provided net cash of $151.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily related to the issuance of Senior Notes, Preferred Stock and common stock offset by $75.4 million Last Out Term Loans repayments, a $164.3 million net reduction on the prior U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $10.9 million of financing fees.

Debt Facilities

As described in the Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, on June 30, 2021, we entered into the Reimbursement Agreement, Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Debt Documents” and the facilities thereunder, the “Debt Facilities”). The obligations of the Company under each of the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company. B. Riley, a related party, has provided a guaranty of payment with regard to the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. The Company expects to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Debt Facilities for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2022, no borrowings have occurred under the Revolving Credit Agreement and under the Letter of Credit Agreement, usage consisted of $16.1 million of financial letters of credit and $96.2 million of performance letters of credit.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

Certain of our subsidiaries 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. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees outside of our Letter of Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022 was $50.5 million. The aggregate value of the outstanding letters of credit provided under the Letter of Credit Agreement backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $38.5 million as of June 30, 2022. Of the outstanding letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Agreement, $58.5 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation.

We have also 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 the applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity. As of June 30,

2022, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $293.3 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit backstopping surety bonds was $9.7 million.

Other Indebtedness - Loans Payable

As of June 30, 2022, our Denmark subsidiary has an unsecured interest-free loan of $0.8 million under a local government loan program related to COVID-19 and is payable May 2023. The loan payable in May 2023 is included in current loans payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material current or future effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources at June 30, 2022.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposures to market risks have 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, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. It should be noted that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting, despite the fact that some of our team members are working remotely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing these situations on our internal controls to ensure their operating effectiveness.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For information regarding ongoing investigations and litigation, see Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, which we incorporate by reference into this Item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Other than the additional risk factor set forth below there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia may continue to adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the global response to it, may continue to adversely affect our business and results of operations. The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused significant volatility and disruptions to the global markets, including shortages of supplies and materials necessary for our business. For example, the conflict can impact our ability to place orders for materials, such as steel, in Europe, and may more broadly impact lead times for materials globally. It is not possible to predict the short-term and long-term implications of this conflict, which could include but are not limited to further uncertainty about economic and political stability, delays in access to supplies and materials, increases in inflation rate and energy prices and adverse effects on currency exchange rates and financial markets. As described in our Business Overview and Results of Operations included in Part I, Item II and Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, the conflict has resulted in shortages of supplies and materials and delays in the timing of revenue. We continue to monitor the situation closely and are proactively assessing and evaluating alternative sources to bolster our sources of supplies and materials moving forward.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In accordance with the provisions of the employee benefit plans, the Company acquired the following shares in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock that require us to withhold shares to satisfy employee statutory income tax withholding obligations.
