Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("B&W", "Babcock & Wilcox" or the "Company") (NYSE:BW) announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

"We are pleased to report a strong financial and operational start to 2026 as first quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA exceeded Company and consensus street expectations. We are experiencing strong interest from new AI data center and hyperscaler customers, which plan to utilize our power generation solutions to support the increasing demand for energy," commented Kenneth Young, B&W's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Global demand for our diverse technology portfolio supported by sustained momentum in our core business continues to grow while we reduce debt on our balance sheet. Innovative, strategic collaborations, such as our recent engagement with Base Electron, alongside the increasing power demands of AI data centers, has set the course for future growth at B&W while contributing to solid growth in our pipeline, bookings and backlog. Our continued focus on our strategic objectives is delivering results, positioning B&W to capitalize on strong global demand for baseload generation and behind-the-meter data center projects."

"During the first quarter of 2026, we delivered strong operating results across all aspects of our business, highlighted by Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA that exceeded consensus street expectations for the quarter," Young said. "Additionally, we saw meaningful growth in adjusted net income from continuing operations this quarter. Excluding the $81.8 million of non-cash warrants and other stock-related costs, the Company had adjusted net income from continuing operations of $2.2 million for the first quarter. These recent developments and strong financial results are underpinned by positive operating cash flow and a significant reduction of secured debt and unsecured bonds during the quarter resulting in current net debt of $42.4 million, bringing net debt to below 1.0 times our trailing-twelve-month adjusted EBITDA. Our core parts and services continued to excel, delivering the strongest first quarter revenues in recent history, as higher demand from consumers, industrials and AI data centers drives increased coal baseload generation. We continue to pay down December 2026 bonds on the open market and plan to pay off these bonds in a timely fashion."

"Additionally, our existing project with Base Electron continues to progress favorably as manufacturing of the boilers and steam turbines and other long-lead-time components continues as planned. The permitting process has begun as we work to provide our proven natural gas-fired boilers and related technologies, alongside Siemens Energy steam turbine systems, to deliver reliable, high-capacity energy generation on the fast-track timeline required by AI data center customers. Boiler manufacturing and other long-lead-time items have now been released and are currently moving forward, and we are preparing for onsite construction to progress as planned."

"This quarter represents another positive step forward for B&W, as we continue to convert our global pipeline of identified project opportunities. We believe our results reflect a strong global demand for B&W's technologies and combined with the increased demand for power generation gives us a solid foundation for continued growth this year, and for many years to follow. Our global pipeline increased by 17% and now exceeds $14.0 billion in project opportunities due to this surging demand. We are excited about the progress to date and remain optimistic that we will continue to execute on our existing pipeline while maintaining viability for future expansion as we move forward."

Q1 2026 Continuing Operations Financial Summary

Revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $214.4 million, a 44% increase compared to $148.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by an increase in large project volume of over $60 million, including our ongoing project with Base Electron. Operating loss in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.7 million compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $79.6 million, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by $81.8 million of non-cash warrant valuations and other stock-related costs due to the increased common stock performance. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $2.2 million. Loss per share in the first quarter of 2026 was $0.62 compared to a loss per share of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $16.1 million, an increase of 296% compared to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

All amounts referred to in this release are on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and adjusted net income from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the exhibits to this release. See "Bookings and Backlog" below for important information regarding our calculation and presentation of those metrics.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2026, the Company had secured debt and bonds of $237.2 million, and a cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $194.8 million, which when deducted equals net debt of $42.4 million. During the quarter B&W paid off $15.0 million in outstanding bonds due in December 2026. The Company expects to fully pay off remaining outstanding December 2026 bonds in 2026.

Earnings Call Information

B&W plans to host a conference call and webcast on Monday, May 11, 2026 at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the Company's first quarter 2026 results. The listen-only audio of the conference call will be broadcast live via the Internet on B&W's Investor Relations site. The dial-in number for participants in the U.S. is (833) 461-5787; the dial-in number for participants in Canada is (365) 657-4084; the dial-in number for participants in all other locations is (585) 542-9983. The conference ID for all participants is 737825489. A replay of this conference call will remain accessible in the investor relations section of the Company's website for a limited time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally, also referred to in this release as "adjusted" financial measures, to evaluate its performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, the Company believes that its presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting its financial condition 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 Company's related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is a non-GAAP metric and is calculated as earnings before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization 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, and costs related to financial consulting. In addition, the Company presents consolidated Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is useful to investors to help facilitate comparisons of the ongoing, operating performance before overhead and other expenses not attributable to the operating performance of the Company.

The Company added two additional non-GAAP financial measures in the first quarter of 2026: net debt and adjusted net income from continuing operations. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure of net debt, which excludes sale-leaseback related transactions, forgivable and other loans, unamortized financing fees and premium as management believes that this provides a better representation of debt that has an obligation of repayment, less cash on hand. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income from continuing operations, which excludes $81.8 million of non-cash warrants and other stock-related costs, as management believes it is a useful measure for investors to accurately reflect the impact of recent stock price growth on costs related to customer warrants and stock-based compensation.

This release also presents certain targets for the Company's Adjusted EBITDA in the future; these targets are not intended as guidance regarding how the Company believes the business will perform. The Company is unable to reconcile these targets to their GAAP counterparts without unreasonable effort and expense. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the revised definition and present separate reconciling items in our reconciliation, including business transition costs.

Bookings and Backlog

Bookings and backlog are our measures 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.

Pipeline

Pipeline represents our uncontracted, potential opportunities, which have been identified and are in active discussions, that could reach a decision to proceed over the next 36 months. Pipeline is an internal metric monitored by management to understand the anticipated growth of our Company and our estimated future revenue, which may increase or decrease from time to time.

We cannot guarantee that our pipeline will result in actual revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. Pipeline may not generate margins equal to our historical operating results. Our customers may experience project delays or cancel orders as a result of external market factors and economic or other factors beyond our control. If our pipeline fails to result in revenue as anticipated or in a timely manner, we could experience a reduction in revenue, profitability, and liquidity.

Impacts of Market Conditions

Management continues to adapt to macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts from inflation, changing interest rates and foreign exchange rate volatility, current and potential tariff actions, geopolitical conflicts (including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East) and global shipping and supply chain disruptions that continued to have an impact across 2026. In certain instances, these situations have resulted in cost increases and delays or disruptions that have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our ability to meet customers' demands. We continue to actively monitor the impact of these market conditions on current and future periods and actively manage costs and our liquidity position to provide additional flexibility while still supporting our customers and their specific needs. The duration and scope of these conditions cannot be predicted, and therefore, any anticipated negative financial impact on our operating results cannot be reasonably estimated.
