AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("B&W" or the "Company") (NYSE: BW) announced results for the third quarter of 2024.
Energy Demand
"We believe that we are in a unique position to leverage the significant increase in base-load generation demand in North America and around the world," said Kenneth Young, B&W Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Consumer demand for energy - either from the grid or behind the meter - along with increased energy needs from utility and large industrial clients are providing even greater opportunities for us to deliver our broad range of technology and considerable expertise in the areas of fossil fuels, natural gas, synthetic fuels and renewable energy to help meet that demand. We believe the increasing need for power and electricity fueled by demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles and expanding economies will be key drivers for growth across our broad range of technologies and we are seeing our utility and industrial clients, including in the oil and gas sector, continuing to increase capacity utilizing our core technologies while evaluating further power generation augmentation through biomass, hydrogen and natural gas. We expect these tail-winds to increase in the coming years, as the amount of front-end engineering design (FEED) opportunities have grown. Today we have 12 to 15 active FEED studies that represent potential projects of over $1 billion in revenues in our pipeline. We believe that these expected industry tailwinds provide a strong foundation for B&W to grow in 2025 and beyond as we continue to drive for higher margins and improved cash flows."
"Overall, we continue to see strong demand for our diverse portfolio of technologies that help drive our increased backlog and higher implied bookings of over $800 million. As further evidence of the opportunities for growth, we are excited to announce that we have now received full notice to proceed on the $246 million natural gas conversion project in Indiana," Young added.
BrightLoop and ClimateBright
"Our investments across our ClimateBright suite of decarbonization technologies to support the world's energy transition are progressing well and notably we continued to move forward on our BrightLoop project in Massillon, Ohio, with a target of producing hydrogen by early 2026," Young said. "We are working on several carbon capture opportunities that utilize our SolveBright post combustion CO2 capture technology and our oxy-combustion technology that injects pure oxygen into the combustion process to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. We recently announced a FEED study in Sweden that utilizes our post-combustion technology with an existing waste-to-energy facility. In addition to our work in support of the BrightLoop project in Massillon, Ohio, we also are further developing our BrightLoop projects in West Virginia, Wyoming and Louisiana and are engaging in FEED studies for BrightLoop with various customers in Canada and around the world."
Asset Sales and Debt Refinancing
"During the quarter, we completed the sale of our SPIG/GMAB business for net proceeds of $33.7 million, which improves our balance sheet to support growth and aligns with our ongoing strategy to sell certain non-strategic businesses. Combined, we have raised over $116 million from divestiture of two assets in 2024. These sales reaffirm our objective to strengthen our balance sheet," Young continued. "We remain in dialogue related to the sale of other non-strategic assets as previously discussed, as well as potential refinancing options."
Increased Margin Performance
"Our third quarter results demonstrated significant margin improvement, reflecting our strategic direction as evidenced by strong year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and net income increases. These results include two one-time items, a non-cash impairment on the recent SPIG divestiture and a settlement on a maintenance contract to avoid 10 years of potential significant future losses. Excluding these two one-time charges, we met adjusted EBITDA and net income expectations for the quarter. Looking ahead, we continue to expect increasing operating momentum driven by our Thermal and Environmental segments, as the fourth quarter is historically a seasonally strong period for B&W's businesses, with increased services and project schedules from our customers," Young said. "Our business as a whole prior to divestitures is on target to achieve our stated goals in 2024. When adjusting the targets to reflect the recent divestitures, our EBITDA target range is around $91.0 million to $95.0 million, excluding BrightLoop and ClimateBright expenses. Our global pipeline of over $9 billion in identified project opportunities remains healthy across all business segments, and we anticipate continued prospects for new bookings and stronger financial performance throughout the fourth quarter and heading into 2025."
Q3 2024 Continuing Operations Financial Summary
Revenues in the third quarter of 2024 were $209.9 million versus revenues of $239.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, which includes $34.2 million in revenues from BWRS. Revenues in the third quarter of 2024 increased by $4.6 million when compared to revenues without BWRS in the third quarter of 2023. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our domestic and European Environmental business as well as Thermal segment benefits related to a large natural gas project and increased volume in parts during the year. Operating loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.5 million, compared to operating income of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the divestiture of BWRS which resulted in a reduction of income from the previous quarter of $7.4 million, as well as two one-time charges of a $5.8 million non-cash impairment related to the sale of SPIG and a $4.9 million settlement to exit a loss generating maintenance contract. This completes our exit strategy from European O&M, which has resulted in approximately $15.0 million in losses over the last three years, and allows us to avoid 10 years of potentially significant escalating losses. Loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $11.1 million, compared to a loss of $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, for the same reasons noted with respect to operating income above. Loss per common share in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.16 compared to a loss per common share of $0.18 in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million, an increase compared to $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, which included $7.4 million of BWRS Adjusted EBITDA, primarily due to the impact of SG&A reductions, product mix and project margins. Implied bookings in the third quarter of 2024 were $142.0 million, compared to $197.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. Ending implied backlog was $628.2 million, an increase of 22% compared to implied backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2023. All amounts referred to in this release are on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. Reconciliations of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's segments, are provided in the exhibits to this release.
Babcock & Wilcox Renewable segment revenues were $38.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease compared to $87.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of BWRS, which accounted for $34.2 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was $5.0 million, a decrease compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, which included $7.4 million from BWRS, partially offset by favorable project closeouts in the current quarter. Bookings in Renewable parts and services during the third quarter of 2024 exceeded bookings in the same period in 2023, with total bookings increasing from $32.7 million in 2023 to $40.8 million in 2024.
Babcock & Wilcox Environmental segment revenues were $56.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 22% compared to $46.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. Approximately $7.7 million of the increase is attributable to growth in our domestic environmental and electrostatic precipitator business and $1.0 million of the increase is due to growth in our European environmental business. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was $4.7 million, which is favorable to our internal targets, compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, which is primarily in line with the previous year.
Babcock & Wilcox Thermal segment revenues were $119.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, which is an increase of 12% compared to $107.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. The revenue increase is primarily the result of a large natural gas project which accounted for $4.2 million and an increased volume of parts which accounted for $4.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was $18.4 million, an increase compared to $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. The revenue drivers above resulted in an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million and favorable project margins in our construction business resulted in an increase of $2.1 million.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2024, the Company had total debt of $475.4 million and a cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $127.9 million.
Earnings Call Information
B&W plans to host a conference call and webcast on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the Company's third quarter 2024 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) 470-1428; the dial-in number for participants in Canada is (833) 950-0062; the dial-in number for participants in all other locations is (929) 526-1599. The conference ID for all participants is 883496. 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 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 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 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, restructuring costs, 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 presents consolidated Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is useful to investors to help facilitate comparisons of the ongoing, operating performance before corporate overhead and other expenses not attributable to the operating performance of the Company's revenue generating segments. In addition, the Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA excluding BrightLoop and ClimateBright. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because of the increasing importance of BrightLoop and ClimateBright to the future growth of the Company. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA excluding BrightLoop and ClimateBright to assess the Company's performance independent of these technologies.
This release presents Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA without BWRS and Revenue without BWRS as additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures are useful to investors to facilitate comparisons between years by excluding the impact from business divestitures in the current year and their related operating results from the prior year. Management uses these measures to preview and evaluate performance of retained businesses.
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 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. Implied backlog and implied bookings include projects awarded or under contract but not fully released for performance.
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.
Impacts of Market Conditions
Management continues to adapt to macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts from inflation, changing interest rates and foreign exchange rate volatility, 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 during the first nine months of 2024. 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.
