ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We seek to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. This information is also accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the most recent fiscal year reported on herein. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2020 . (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. (c) Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management, including our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, including our CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 . Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020 . We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Broadwind, Inc.(the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. 35 Long-Lived Assets As described in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s evaluation of long-lived asset impairment involves the comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows of a respective asset group to its corresponding carrying value. This requires management to make significant qualitative and quantitative estimates and assumptions including estimates of future revenue growth rates, operating margins, and capital expenditures. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the amount of undiscounted cash flows, which could have an impact on the impairment charge, if any. The Company’s Gearing asset group experienced a decline in revenue and operating margin during the year-ended December 31, 2020. Company management determined that the carrying amount of the Gearing asset group may not be recoverable based on the change in operating performance. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the asset group as of October 31, 2020. As part of the impairment assessment, it was determined that the reporting unit had undiscounted future cash flows that exceeded its estimated carrying value. Additionally, there were no changes in facts or circumstances following the October 31, 2020 assessment through year-end which would alter the Company’s initial undiscounted future cash flows or carrying value estimates. As a result, no impairment charge was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Key financial assumptions used to determine the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group were developed by management. We identified the long-lived asset impairment assessment of the Gearing asset group as a critical audit matter because of the high degree of judgement and subjectivity involved in auditing management’s assumptions regarding the primary asset determination, revenue growth rates, operating cash flow margins and capital expenditures utilized to determine the recoverability of the asset group’s long-lived assets. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit The audit procedures performed related to the evaluation of Company management’s assumptions and estimates relating to their determination of recoverability of the Gearing asset group included the following, among others: ● Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s determination of the primary asset of the asset group which included comparing the estimated future cash flows derived from the primary asset compared to other assets within the asset grouping. ● Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasted revenue, expense growth rates and capital expenditures by comparing the projections to historical results and industry expectations. ● Evaluated the impact of changes to significant assumptions on the recoverability of the asset group. /S/ RSM US LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”) is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean tech and other specialized applications. The Company provides technologically advanced high value products to customers with complex systems and stringent quality standards that operate in energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, primarily in the United States of America (the “U.S.”). The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, although the Company has increasingly diversified into other industrial markets. Within the U.S. wind energy industry, the Company provides products primarily to turbine manufacturers. The Company also provides precision gearing and heavy fabrications to a broad range of industrial customers for oil and gas (“O&G”), mining, steel and other industrial applications, in addition to supplying components for natural gas turbines. The Company has three reportable operating segments: Heavy Fabrications, Gearing, and Industrial Solutions. Heavy Fabrications The Company provides large, complex and precision fabrications to customers in a broad range of industrial markets. The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, although it has diversified into other industrial markets in order to improve capacity utilization, reduce customer concentrations, and reduce exposure to uncertainty related to governmental policies currently impacting the U.S. wind energy industry. Within the U.S. wind energy industry, the Company provides steel towers and adapters primarily to wind turbine manufacturers. Production facilities, located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Abilene, Texas, are situated in close proximity to the primary U.S. domestic wind energy and equipment manufacturing hubs. The two facilities have a combined annual tower production capacity of up to approximately 550 towers (1650 tower sections), sufficient to support turbines generating more than 1,100 MW of power. The Company has expanded its production capabilities and leveraged manufacturing competencies, including welding, lifting capacity and stringent quality practices, into aftermarket and OEM components utilized in surface and underground mining, construction, material handling, O&G and other infrastructure markets. 41 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Gearing The Company provides gearing and gearboxes to a broad set of customers in diverse markets including; onshore and offshore O&G fracking and drilling, surface and underground mining, wind energy, steel, material handling and other infrastructure markets. The Company has manufactured loose gearing, gearboxes and systems, and provided heat treat services for aftermarket and OEM applications for nearly a century. The Company uses an integrated manufacturing process, which includes machining and finishing processes in Cicero, Illinois, and heat treatment in Neville Island, Pennsylvania. Industrial Solutions The Company provides supply chain solutions, inventory management, kitting and assembly services, primarily serving the combined cycle natural gas turbine market. Liquidity The Company meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, through its credit facility (as further discussed in Note 9 “Debt and Credit Agreements” of these consolidated financial statements), equipment financing, access to the public and private debt and/or equity markets, and has the option to raise capital under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (as discussed below). The Company uses the Credit Facility to fund working capital requirements. Under the Credit Facility, borrowings are continuous and all cash receipts are usually applied to the outstanding borrowed balance. As of December 31, 2020 , cash totaled $3,372, an increase of $956 from December 31, 2019 . The Company had the ability to borrow up to $20,678 under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 . The Company also utilizes supply chain financing arrangements as a component of our funding for working capital, which accelerates receivable collections and helps to better manage cash flow. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell certain of its accounts receivable balances to banking institutions who have agreed to advance amounts equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The balances under these agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, as they are sold without recourse. Cash proceeds from these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense by the Company. 42 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Debt and finance lease obligations at December 31, 2020 totaled $14,210, which includes current outstanding debt and finance lease obligations totaling $2,833, due over the next twelve months. The current outstanding debt includes $1,245 outstanding under the Credit Facility. On August 18, 2020, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2020 (the “Form S-3”) and expires on October 12, 2023. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows the Company at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, the Company would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes. The Company's registration statement on Form S-3 filed on August 11, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 10, 2017 expired on October 10, 2020. On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agent shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share with an aggregate sales price of up to $10,000. The Company will pay a commission to the Agent of 3% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the ATM Agreement and reimburse the Agent for the expenses of their counsel. The Company did not issue any shares of its common stock under the ATM Agreement in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reinstated the ATM Agreement and issued 91,481 shares of the Company’s common stock thereunder. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of such shares were approximately $321 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $10 and before deducting other expense of $89. The ATM Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms on October 12, 2020. In April 2020, the Company received $9,530 in funds under the U.S. Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and made repayments of $379 on May 13, 2020. Refer to Note 9, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these consolidated financial statements for more information, including information regarding potential forgiveness of the PPP Loans. The Company anticipates that current cash resources (which includes proceeds from the PPP Loans), amounts available under the Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, and any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S-3 will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Management’s Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, and allowance for doubtful accounts. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates. 43 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Cash Cash and cash equivalents typically comprise cash balances and readily marketable investments with original maturities of three months or less, such as money market funds, short-term government bonds, Treasury bills, marketable securities and commercial paper. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , cash totaled $3,372 and $2,416, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , interest income was $0. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Customer deposits, deferred revenue and other receipts are deferred and recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. Cash payments to customers are presumed to be classified as reductions of revenue in the Company’s statement of operations. For many tower sales within the Company’s Heavy Fabrications segment, products are sold under terms included in bill and hold sales arrangements that result in different timing for revenue recognition versus shipment. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements only when there is a substantive reason for the agreement, the ordered goods are identified separately as belonging to the customer and not available to fill other orders, the goods are currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Assuming these required revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon completion of product manufacture and customer acceptance. During 2020, the Company also recognized revenue over time, versus point in time, when products in the Gearing and Heavy Fabrications segments had no alternative use to the Company and the Company had an enforceable right to payment, including profit, upon termination of the contract by the customer. Since the projects are labor intensive, the Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the contract. Contract assets are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied but the Company is not yet entitled to payment. The Company recognizes contract assets associated with this revenue which represents its rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the end of the period. The Company did not recognize any revenue over time during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cost of Sales Cost of sales represents all direct and indirect costs associated with the production of products for sale to customers. These costs include operation, repair and maintenance of equipment, materials, direct and indirect labor and benefit costs, rent and utilities, maintenance, insurance, equipment rentals, freight, and depreciation. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include all corporate and administrative functions such as sales and marketing, legal, human resource management, finance, investor and public relations, information technology and senior management. These functions serve to support the Company’s current and future operations and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. Major expense items in this category include management and staff wages and benefits, share-based compensation and professional services. 44 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Accounts Receivable (A/R) The Company generally grants uncollateralized credit to customers on an individual basis based upon the customer’s financial condition and credit history. Credit is typically on net 30 day terms and customer deposits are frequently required at various stages of the production process to finance customized products and minimize credit risk. Historically, the Company’s A/R is highly concentrated with a select number of customers. During the year ended December 31, 2020 , the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 78% of its consolidated revenues and 65% of outstanding A/R balances, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 when the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 79% of its consolidated revenues and 55% of its outstanding A/R balances. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Based upon past experience and judgment, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to A/R. The Company’s standard allowance estimation methodology considers a number of factors that, based on its collections experience, the Company believes will have an impact on its credit risk and the realizability of its A/R. These factors include individual customer circumstances, history with the Company and other relevant criteria. A/R balances that remain outstanding after the Company has exhausted reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to A/R. The Company monitors its collections and write-off experience to assess whether or not adjustments to its allowance estimates are necessary. Changes in trends in any of the factors that the Company believes may impact the realizability of its A/R, as noted above, or modifications to the Company’s credit standards, collection practices and other related policies may impact its allowance for doubtful accounts and its financial results. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the value that can be realized upon the sale of the inventory less a reasonable estimate of selling costs. Cost is determined either based on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or on a standard cost basis that approximates the FIFO method. Any excess of cost over net realizable value is included in the Company’s inventory allowance. Net realizable value of inventory, and management’s judgment of the need for reserves, encompasses consideration of other business factors including physical condition, inventory holding period, contract terms and usefulness. Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Raw materials consist of components and parts for general production use. Work-in-process consists of labor and overhead, processing costs, purchased subcomponents and materials purchased for specific customer orders. Finished goods consist of components purchased from third parties as well as components manufactured by the Company that will be used to produce final customer products. 45 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial reporting purposes, and generally using an accelerated method for income tax reporting purposes. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5,546 and $5,814, respectively. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Property or equipment sold or disposed of is removed from the respective property accounts, with any corresponding gains and losses recorded within the operating results of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets (“long-lived assets”) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset recoverability is first measured by comparing the assets’ carrying amounts to their expected future undiscounted net cash flows to determine if the assets are impaired. In evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of such assets. If the Company’s fair value estimates or related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to property and equipment and other long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value. See Note 7, “Long-Lived Assets” of these consolidated financial statements for further discussion of long-lived assets. Leases The Company leases various property and equipment under operating lease arrangements. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) and ASU 2018-11 using the cumulative effect method. Adopting the standard resulted in the Company recognizing operating lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company has entered into finance lease arrangements to finance property and equipment and assumed finance lease obligations in connection with certain acquisitions. The cost basis and accumulated amortization of assets recorded under finance leases are included in property and equipment, while the liabilities are included in finance lease obligations. 46 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Warranty Liability The Company provides warranty terms that generally range from one to five years for various products and services relating to workmanship and materials supplied by the Company. In certain contracts, the Company has recourse provisions for items that would enable the Company to pursue recovery from third parties for amounts paid to customers under warranty provisions. Warranty liability is recorded in accrued liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimates the warranty accrual based on various factors, including historical warranty costs, current trends, product mix and sales. The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total product warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows, excluding activity related to the discontinued Services segment: As of December 31, 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ 163 $ 226 Reduction of warranty reserve (78 ) (32 ) Warranty claims (52 ) (21 ) Other adjustments — (10 ) Balance, end of period $ 33 $ 163 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes based upon an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year that the change is enacted. In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income tax liability for each of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax expense and assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain income or expense items for income tax reporting and financial reporting purposes. The Company also recognizes as deferred income tax assets the expected future income tax benefits of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. In evaluating the realizability of deferred income tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards, the Company considers, among other things, expected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary reporting differences and the expected impact of tax planning strategies that may be implemented to prevent the potential loss of future income tax benefits. Changes in, among other things, income tax legislation, statutory income tax rates or future taxable income levels could materially impact the Company’s valuation of income tax assets and liabilities and could cause its income tax provision to vary significantly among financial reporting periods. 47 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The Company also accounts for the uncertainty in income taxes related to the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. The Company follows the applicable pronouncement guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition related to the uncertainty in these income tax positions. Share-Based Compensation The Company grants incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and/or performance awards (“PSUs”) to certain officers, directors, and employees. The Company accounts for share-based compensation related to these awards based on the estimated fair value of the equity award and recognizes expense ratably over the required vesting term of the award. The expense associated with PSUs is also based on the probability of achieving embedded targets. See Note 14 “Share-Based Compensation” of these consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s share-based compensation plans, the nature of share-based awards issued and the Company’s accounting for share-based compensation. Net Loss Per Share The Company presents both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is based solely upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock, options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common-share equivalents outstanding during the year excluding those common-share equivalents where the impact to basic net income (loss) per share would be anti-dilutive. 2. REVENUES Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 : Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Heavy Fabrications $ 155,198 $ 128,686 Gearing 25,136 34,877 Industrial Solutions 18,299 14,664 Eliminations (137 ) (7 ) Consolidated $ 198,496 $ 178,220 The Company’s revenue is generally recognized at a point in time, typically when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the purchase order and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. If applicable, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. 48 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) For many tower sales within the Company’s Heavy Fabrications segment, products are sold under terms included in bill and hold sales arrangements that result in different timing for revenue recognition versus shipment. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements only when there is a substantive reason for the arrangement, the ordered goods are identified separately as belonging to the customer and not available to fill other orders, the goods are currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Assuming these required revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon completion of product manufacture and customer acceptance. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $1,438 of revenue from one customer within the Gearing segment and $815 from one customer in the Heavy Fabrications segment over time as the products had no alternative use to the Company and the Company had an enforceable right to payment, including profit, upon termination of the contract. Since the projects are labor intensive, the Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the contracts. Contract assets are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied but the Company is not yet entitled to payment. The Company recognized $2,253 of contract assets associated with this revenue which represents the Company's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the end of the period. The Company did not recognize any revenue over time during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. Customer deposits, deferred revenue and other receipts are deferred and recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. Cash payments to customers are classified as reductions of revenue in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company does not disclose the value of the unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. 3 . EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Basic earnings per share calculation: Net loss $ (1,487 ) $ (4,523 ) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 16,745,531 16,127,296 Basic net loss per share $ (0.09 ) $ (0.28 ) Diluted earnings per share calculation: Net loss $ (1,487 ) $ (4,523 ) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 16,745,531 16,127,296 Common stock equivalents: Non-vested stock awards (1) — — Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 16,745,531 16,127,296 Diluted net loss per share $ (0.09 ) $ (0.28 ) (1) Stock options and restricted stock units granted and outstanding of 1,332,884 and 1,411,277, respectively, are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the anti-dilutive effect as a result of the Company’s net loss for those respective periods. 49 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) 4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of the accounting standards issued or effective in the current fiscal year may be applicable to it, the Company believes that none of the new standards have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 5 . ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The activity in the accounts receivable allowance from operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consists of the following: For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of period $ 127 $ 190 Bad debt expense 227 (27 ) Write-offs (77 ) (36 ) Other adjustments 196 — Balance at end of period $ 473 $ 127 6. INVENTORIES The components of inventories from operations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows: As of December 31, 2020 2019 Raw materials $ 14,586 $ 22,759 Work-in-process 12,634 8,366 Finished goods 2,704 2,915 29,924 34,040 Less: Reserve (3,200 ) (2,177 ) Net inventories $ 26,724 $ 31,863 50 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) 7. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The cost basis and estimated lives of property and equipment from continuing operations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: As of December 31, 2020 2019 Life (in years) Land $ 1,423 $ 1,423 Buildings 20,778 20,747 39 Machinery and equipment 113,266 109,775 2 - 10 Office furniture and equipment 5,099 4,597 3 - 7 Leasehold improvements 9,305 8,974 Shorter of asset life or life of lease Construction in progress 502 1,093 150,373 146,609 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (105,178 ) (99,669 ) Total property and equipment $ 45,195 $ 46,940 As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the Company had commitments of $463 and $758, respectively, related to the completion of projects within construction in progress. Intangible assets represent the fair value assigned to definite-lived assets such as trade names and customer relationships as part of the Company’s acquisition of Brad Foote completed in 2007 as well as the noncompetition agreements, trade names and customer relationships that were part of the Company’s acquisition of Red Wolf. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with a remaining life range from 2 to 7 years. During 2019, the Company identified a triggering event associated with its continued operating losses within the Industrial Solutions segment. The Company relied upon an undiscounted cash flow analysis and concluded that no impairment to this asset group was indicated as of December 31, 2019. However, in conjunction with the Company’s rebranding initiative, during 2019 the Company decided it would no longer utilize the Red Wolf trade name. As a result, the Company accelerated the amortization of the trade name by $871 so that it was fully amortized in 2019. During October 2020, the Company also identified a triggering event associated with its continued operating losses within the Gearing segment. The Company relied upon an undiscounted cash flow analysis and concluded that no impairment to this asset group was indicated as of December 31, 2020. 51 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the cost basis, accumulated amortization and net book value of intangible assets were as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Remaining Remaining Weighted Weighted Accumulated Net Average Accumulated Net Average Cost Accumulated Impairment Book Amortization Accumulated Impairment Book Amortization Basis Amortization Charges Value Period Cost Amortization Charges Value Period Intangible assets: Noncompete agreements $ 170 $ (111 ) $ — $ 59 2.1 $ 170 $ (83 ) $ — $ 87 3.1 Customer relationships 15,979 (6,979 ) (7,592 ) 1,408 4.9 15,979 (6,674 ) (7,592 ) 1,713 5.8 Trade names 9,099 (6,380 ) — 2,719 6.8 9,099 (5,980 ) — 3,119 7.8 Intangible assets $ 25,248 $ (13,470 ) $ (7,592 ) $ 4,186 4.6 $ 25,248 $ (12,737 ) $ (7,592 ) $ 4,919 6.5 Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 6 to 20 years. Amortization expense was $733 and $1,683 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. As of December 31, 2020 , estimated future amortization expense is as follows: 2021 $ 733 2022 725 2023 664 2024 661 2025 661 2026 and thereafter 742 Total $ 4,186 8 .

DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS The Company’s outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following: December 31, 2020 2019 Line of credit $ 1,245 $ 11,517 PPP Loans 9,151 — Other notes payable 163 1,563 Long-term debt 228 342 Less: Current portion (1,406 ) (12,917 ) Long-term debt, net of current maturities $ 9,381 $ 505 As of December 31, 2020 , future annual principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt obligations were as follows: 2021 $ 1,406 2022 9,381 2023 — 2024 — 2025 — 2026 and thereafter Total $ 10,787 Credit Facilities On October 26, 2016, the Company established a three-year secured revolving line of credit with CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). This line of credit has been amended from time to time. On February 25, 2019, the line of credit was expanded and extended for three years when the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”), with CIBC as administrative agent and sole lead arranger and the other financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”), providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 secured credit facility (as amended to date, the “Credit Facility”). The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by, subject to certain exclusions, (i) a first priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, cash and investment property, and (ii) a mortgage on the Abilene, Texas tower and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania gearing facilities. The Credit Facility is an asset-based revolving credit facility, pursuant to which the Lenders advance funds against a borrowing base consisting of approximately (a) 85% of the face value of eligible receivables of the Company and the subsidiaries, plus (b) the lesser of (i) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory of the Company, (ii) 85% of the orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory and (iii) $12.5 million, plus (c) the lesser of (i) the sum of (A) 75% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of the Company’s eligible machinery and equipment plus (B) 50% of the fair market value of the Company’s mortgaged property and (ii) $12 million. Subject to certain borrowing base conditions, the aggregate Credit Facility limit under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement is $35 million with a sublimit for letters of credit of $10 million. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the option of the Company, the one, two or three-month LIBOR rate or the base rate, plus a margin. The Company must also pay an unused facility fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility along with other standard fees. With the exception of the balance impacted by the interest rate swap (as described below), the Company is allowed to prepay in whole or in part advances under the Credit Facility without penalty or premium other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. On October 29, 2020, the Company executed the First Amendment to the 2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”), implementing a payoff of a syndicated lender and a pricing grid based on the Company's trailing twelve month EBITDA under which applicable margins range from 2.25% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 0.00% and 0.75% for base rate loans, and extending the term of the Credit Facility to July 31, 2023. 53 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) On February 23, 2021, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the 2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) which waived testing of the fixed charge coverage covenant for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, added a new liquidity covenant applicable to the quarter ending March 31, 2021, and new minimum EBITDA covenants applicable to the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties applicable to the Company and the subsidiaries. It also contains a requirement that the Company, on a consolidated basis, maintain a minimum quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio, along with other customary restrictive covenants, certain of which are subject to materiality thresholds, baskets and customary exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 . In conjunction with the 2016 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, during June 2019, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap with CIBC. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $6,000 and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on LIBOR borrowings for the entire term of the Credit Facility at 2.13%, before considering the Company’s risk premium. The interest rate swap is accounted for using mark-to-market accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, which may subject the Company’s results of operations to non-cash volatility. The interest rate swap liability is included in the “Accrued liabilities” line item of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020 , there was $1,245 outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company had the ability to borrow up to $20,678 under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 . Other In 2016, the Company entered into a $570 unsecured loan agreement with the Development Corporation of Abilene which is included in long-term debt, less current maturities. The loan is forgivable upon the Company meeting and maintaining specific employment thresholds. During each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , $114 of the loan was forgiven. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the loan balance was $228 and $342, respectively. In addition, the Company has outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $163 and $1,563 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, with $161 and $1,400 included in the “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $1 to $36 and an interest rate of 5%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable have maturity dates that range from February 2021 to August 2022. On April 15, 2020, the Company received unsecured funds under notes and related documents (“PPP Loans”) with CIBC, under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The Company received total proceeds of $9,530 from the PPP loans and made repayments of $379 on May 13, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 enacted on June 5, 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”), the PPP Loans, and accrued interest and fees may be forgiven following a period of twenty-four weeks after PPP Loan proceeds are received (the “covered period”) if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act including payroll costs and benefits (which must equal or exceed 60% of the amount requested to be forgiven), rent, mortgage interest, and utilities, which are subject to certain reductions based on the number of full time equivalent employees and the level of compensation for employees during such covered period. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or significantly reduces salaries during such period, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP, as amended by the Flexibility Act, the unforgiven portion of a PPP Loan is payable over a two year period at an interest rate of 1.00%, with a deferral of payments of principal, interest and fees until the date on which the SBA conveys the loan forgiveness amount to the lender (or notifies the lender that no loan forgiveness is allowed), provided that the borrower applies for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period (and if not, payment of principal and interest shall commence 10 months after the last day of the covered period). The Company used at least 60% of the amount of the PPP Loans proceeds to pay for payroll costs and the balance on other eligible qualifying expenses that the Company believes to be consistent with the terms of the PPP and plans to submit its forgiveness applications to CIBC during the first quarter of 2021. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, the Company cannot provide assurance that it has not taken and will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, in whole or in part. ​ 54 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) 10. LEASES The Company leases various property and equipment under operating lease arrangements. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and ASU 2018-11 using the cumulative effect method and has elected to apply each available practical expedient. The standard requires companies to recognize operating lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. ASU 2018-11 also allows an exception so that companies do not have to make the new required lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the Company recognizing operating lease liabilities totaling $19,508 with a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $17,613 based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases. The variance between the ROU asset balance and the lease liability is a deferred rent liability that existed prior to the adoption of Topic 842 and was offset against the ROU asset balance during the adoption. As of December 31, 2020 , the ROU asset had a balance of $19,321 which is included in the “Operating lease right-of-use assets” line item of these consolidated financial statements and current and non-current lease liabilities relating to the ROU asset of $1,832 and $19,569 , respectively, and are included in the “Current portion of operating lease obligations” and “Long-term operating lease obligations, net of current portion” line items of these consolidated financial statements. The discount rates used for leases accounted for under Topic 842 are based on an interest rate yield curve developed for the leases in the Company’s lease portfolio. Lease terms generally range from 3 to 15 years with renewal options for extended terms. Some of the Company’s facility leases include options to renew. The exercise of the renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. Therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes them in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise them. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,396 and $4,264, respectively. In addition, the Company has entered into finance lease arrangements to finance property and equipment and assumed finance lease obligations in connection with certain acquisitions.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for costs related to loss contingencies when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2020 , the Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of pending actions. Refer to Note 18, “Legal Proceedings” of these consolidated financial statements for further discussion of legal proceedings. Environmental Compliance and Remediation Liabilities The Company’s operations and products are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and sells products governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, soil and groundwater contamination, employee health and safety, and product content, performance and packaging. Also, certain environmental laws can impose the entire cost or a portion of the cost of investigating and cleaning up a contaminated site, regardless of fault, upon any one or more of a number of parties, including the current or previous owners or operators of the site. These environmental laws also impose liability on any person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at a contaminated site. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of sites and users of disposal sites for personal injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous substances from those sites. 57 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Collateral In select instances, the Company has pledged specific inventory and machinery and equipment assets to serve as collateral on related payable or financing obligations. Warranty Liability The Company provides warranty terms that generally range from one to five years for various products and services relating to workmanship and materials supplied by the Company. In certain contracts, the Company has recourse provisions for items that would enable the Company to pursue recovery from third parties for amounts paid to customers under warranty provisions. Liquidated Damages In certain customer contracts, the Company has agreed to pay liquidated damages in the event of qualifying delivery or production delays. These damages are typically limited to a specific percentage of the value of the product in question and dependent on actual losses sustained by the customer. When the damages are determined to be probable and estimable, the damages are recorded as a reduction to revenue. During 2020 and 2019 , the Company incurred no liquidated damages and there was no reserve for liquidated damages as of December 31, 2020 . Workers’ Compensation Reserves As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company had $74 and $115, respectively, accrued for self-insured workers’ compensation liabilities. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2013, the Company began to self-insure for its workers’ compensation liabilities, including reserves for self-retained losses. The Company entered into a guaranteed workers’ compensation cost program at the beginning of the third quarter of 2016, but still maintains a liability for the trailing claims for the self-insured policy periods. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters may exceed the amounts recorded and additional losses may be incurred, the Company does not believe that any additional potential exposure for such liabilities will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Health Insurance Reserves As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company had $550 and $344, respectively, accrued for health insurance liabilities. The Company self-insures for its health insurance liabilities, including establishing reserves for self-retained losses. Historical loss experience combined with actuarial evaluation methods and the application of risk transfer programs are used to determine required health insurance reserves. The Company takes into account claims incurred but not reported when determining its health insurance reserves. Health insurance reserves are included in accrued liabilities. While the Company’s management believes that it has adequately reserved for these claims, the ultimate outcome of these matters may exceed the amounts recorded and additional losses may be incurred. 58 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Other As of December 31, 2020 , approximately 14% of the Company’s employees were covered by two collective bargaining agreements with local unions at the Company’s Cicero, Illinois and Neville Island, Pennsylvania locations. The current five-year collective bargaining agreement with the Neville Island union is expected to remain in effect through October 2022. A new collective bargaining agreement was negotiated and ratified with the Cicero Union and is effective from February 2018 and is expected to remain in effect through February 2022. 12 . FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Financial instruments are assessed quarterly to determine the appropriate classification within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between fair value classifications are made based upon the nature and type of the observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows: Level 1 — Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the Company’s corporate and municipal bonds, although quoted prices are available and used to value said assets, they are traded less frequently. Level 3 — Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, A/R, accounts payable and customer deposits, approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Based upon interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is approximately equal to its fair value. 59 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The Company entered into an interest rate swap in June 2019 to mitigate the exposure to the variability of LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note 9, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is reported in “Accrued liabilities” and the change in fair value is reported in “Interest expense, net” of these consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based on forward interest rates at the balance sheet date. The following tables represent the fair values of the Company’s financial assets measured as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 : December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities measured on a recurring basis: Interest rate swap $ — $ 148 $ — $ 148 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 148 $ — $ 148 December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities measured on a recurring basis: Interest rate swap $ — $ 78 $ — $ 78 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 78 $ — $ 78 13. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consists of the following: For the Years Ended Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Current provision Federal $ — $ — Foreign — — State 51 57 Total current provision 51 57 Deferred provision Federal 3,464 (558 ) State 588 (453 ) Total deferred provision 4,052 (1,011 ) (Decrease) increase in deferred tax valuation allowance (4,055 ) 992 Total provision for income taxes $ 48 $ 38 During the year ended December 31, 2020 , the Company recorded an expense for income taxes of $48, compared to an expense for income taxes of $38 during the year ended December 31, 2019 . The total change in the deferred tax valuation allowance was $(4,055) and $992 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. The changes in the deferred tax valuation allowances in 2020 and 2019 were primarily the result of partial losses of NOL’s associated with taking a worthless stock deduction related to the liquidation of the Services entity. Management believes that significant uncertainty exists surrounding the recoverability of deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the remaining deferred tax assets. 60 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The tax effects of the temporary differences and NOLs that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: As of Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Current deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance — — Noncurrent deferred income tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 67,673 $ 67,014 Intangible assets 1,968 5,040 Accrual and reserves 3,119 2,462 Other 6 77 Total noncurrent deferred tax assets 72,766 74,593 Valuation allowance (70,066 ) (74,121 ) Noncurrent deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 2,700 472 Noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities: Fixed assets 2,700 476 Total noncurrent deferred tax liabilities 2,700 476 Net deferred income tax liability $ — $ (4 ) Valuation allowances of $70,066 and $74,121 have been provided for deferred income tax assets for which realization is uncertain as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the valuation is as follows: Valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 $ (74,121 ) Gross decrease for current year activity 4,055 Valuation allowance as of Balance at December 31, 2020 $ (70,066 ) As of December 31, 2020 , the Company had federal and unapportioned state NOL carryforwards of approximately $260,598 of which $227,781 will begin to expire in 2026. The majority of the NOL carryforwards will expire in various years from 2028 through 2037. NOLs generated after January 1, 2018 will not expire. The reconciliation between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (8.0 ) 2.0 Permanent differences (2.6 ) (0.4 ) Change in valuation allowance (15.9 ) (23.1 ) Other 2.7 (0.5 ) Effective income tax rate (2.8 )% (1.0 )% 61 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The Company accounts for the uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return that is required to be met before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2020 , the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that could impact the income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020 , with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before December 31, 2016; however, taxing authorities have the ability to adjust NOL carryforwards in open tax years that may have been carried forward from closed years. The Company’s 2008 and 2009 federal tax returns were examined in 2011 and no material adjustments were identified related to any of the Company’s tax positions. Although these periods have been audited, they continue to remain open until all NOLs generated in those tax years have either been utilized or expire. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone certain changes in stock ownership. The Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards and built-in losses may be limited, under this section or otherwise, by the Company’s issuance of common stock or by other changes in stock ownership. Upon completion of the Company’s analysis of IRC Section 382, the Company has determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership have resulted in an annual limitation of $14,284 on NOLs and built-in losses available for utilization based on the triggering event in 2010. To the extent the Company’s use of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses is significantly limited in the future due to additional changes in stock ownership, the Company’s income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would if the Company were able to use NOL carryforwards and built-in losses without such annual limitation, which could result in lower profits and the loss of the majority of the benefits from these attributes. In February 2013, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, which was amended in February 2016 and approved by our stockholders (as amended, the “Rights Plan”), designed to preserve the Company’s substantial tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under Section 382 of the IRC. On February 7, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment extending the Rights Plan for an additional three years, which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 23, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”). The Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, being or becoming the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock and thereby triggering a further limitation of the Company’s available NOL carryforwards. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2013. Each Right entitles its holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per Right, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Rights Plan, any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock without the approval of the Board would be subject to significant dilution in the ownership interest of that person or group. Stockholders who owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of February 12, 2013 will not trigger the preferred share purchase rights unless they acquire additional shares after that date. 62 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) 14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Overview of Share-Based Compensation Plan The Company has granted incentive stock options and other equity awards pursuant to previously Board approved equity incentive plans. Most recently, the Company has granted equity awards pursuant to the Broadwind Energy, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Board in February 2015 and by the Company’s stockholders in April 2015. On February 19, 2019, the Board approved an Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2015 EIP,”), which, among other things, increased the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2015 EIP from 1,100,000 to 2,200,000. The amendment and restatement of the 2015 EIP was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purposes of the Company’s equity incentive plans is (a) to align the interests of the Company’s stockholders and recipients of awards by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company’s growth and success; (b) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining officers, other employees, non-employee directors and independent contractors; and (c) to motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Under the 2015 EIP, the Company may grant (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the IRC); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock and restrictive stock units; and (v) performance awards. Stock Options. The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2015 EIP is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally become exercisable on the anniversary of the grant date, with vesting terms that may range from one to five years from the date of grant. Additionally, stock options expire ten years after the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is expensed ratably over their vesting term. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The granting of RSUs is provided for under the 2015 EIP. RSUs generally contain a vesting period of one to five years from the date of grant. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is generally expensed ratably over the vesting term of the RSU award. Performance Awards (PSUs). The granting of PSUs is provided for under the 2015 EIP. Vesting of PSUs is conditioned upon the Company meeting applicable performance measures over the performance period. The fair value of each PSU granted is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is generally expensed ratably over the term of the PSU award plan. 63 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The Company's equity incentive plans reserve shares of the Company’s common stock for grants to officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors upon whose efforts the success of the Company and its affiliates depend to a large degree. The Company's equity incentive plans prior to the 2015 EIP had reserved 1,891,051 shares of the Company’s common stock, and as of December 31, 2020, 888,748 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under these plans had been issued in the form of common stock. As of December 31, 2020, no shares of common stock are reserved for equity awards under these plans. The 2015 EIP reserves 2,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2020, 856,095 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options and RSU awards granted under the 2015 EIP had been issued in the form of common stock and 1,332,884 shares of common stock remained reserved for issuance of RSUs and PSUs outstanding under the 2015 EIP. Stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows: Weighted Average Aggregate Intrinsic Weighted Average Remaining Value Options Exercise Price Contractual Term (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2019 54,362 $ 11.16 1.81 $ — Forfeited (54,362 ) $ 11.16 — $ — Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 — $ — — $ — Exercisable as of December 31, 2020 — $ — — $ — There were no outstanding and exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2020 , The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of each stock option is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected life of the awards and actual and projected stock option exercise behavior. There were no stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 . 64 BROADWIND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The following table summarizes information with respect to outstanding RSUs and PSUs as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 : Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of Shares Per Share Unvested as of December 31, 2019 1,356,915 $ 2.39 Granted 517,082 $ 1.59 Vested (360,358 ) $ 2.42 Forfeited (180,755 ) $ 3.84 Unvested as of December 31, 2020 1,332,884 $ 1.86 RSUs and PSUs are generally subject to ratable vesting over a three-year period. Compensation expense related to these service-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company utilized a forfeiture rate of 25% for estimating the forfeitures of stock compensation granted. The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense, net of taxes withheld, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Share-based compensation expense: Cost of sales $ 106 $ 99 Selling, general and administrative 1,050 859 Net effect of share-based compensation expense on net income $ 1,156 $ 958 Reduction in earnings per share: Basic earnings per share $ 0.07 $ 0.06 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.07 $ 0.06 (1) Income tax benefit is not illustrated because the Company is currently in a full tax valuation allowance position and an actual income tax benefit was not realized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 . The result of the income (loss) situation creates a timing difference, resulting in a deferred tax asset, which is fully reserved for in the Company’s valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2020 , the Company estimates that pre-tax compensation expense for all unvested share-based RSUs and PSUs in the amount of approximately $1,492 will be recognized through the year 2022. The Company expects to satisfy the future distribution of shares of restricted stock by issuing new shares of common stock. 15. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company is organized into reporting segments based on the nature of the products offered and business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. 65 BROADWIND, INC.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plans Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plans The Company offers a 401(k) retirement savings plan to all eligible employees who may elect to contribute a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis, subject to applicable statutory limitations. As of December 31, 2020 , all employees were eligible to receive safe harbor matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of the participant’s elective deferral contributions and 50% of the next 2% of the participant’s elective deferral contributions. The Company has the discretion, subject to applicable statutory requirements, to fund any matching contribution with a contribution to the plan of the Company’s common stock. The Company periodically evaluates whether to fund the matching contribution in cash or in the Company’s common stock. Under the plan, elective deferrals and basic Company matching is 100% vested at all times. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company recorded expense under these plans of approximately $1,101 and $1,002, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain key employees and nonemployee directors, whereby certain wages earned, compensation for services rendered, and discretionary company-matching contributions may be deferred and deemed to be invested in the Company’s common stock. Changes in the fair value of the plan liability are recorded as charges or credits to compensation expense. Compensation expense associated with the deferred compensation plan recorded during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $56 and $3. The fair value of the plan liability to the Company is included in accrued liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of its business. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. It is possible that if one or more litigation matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company’s financial condition and cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability. 70 INDEX TO EXHIBITS Exhibit Number Description 2.1 Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2017, by and among the Company, Christopher J.
