(the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (“Broadwind Heavy Fabrications”), Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc. (“Brad Foote”) and Broadwind Industrial Solutions, LLC (“Broadwind Industrial Solutions”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.   Operating results for the  three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022, or any other interim period, which may differ materially due to, among other things, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2021 .   The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2021 .   There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the  nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2021 .   Company Description      Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean technology and other specialized applications.

The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, which accounted for 51 % and 66 % of the Company’s revenue during the first   nine months of 2022  and 2021, respectively.    Liquidity   The Company typically meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, the 2016 Credit Facility and the 2022 Credit Facility, as applicable (each, as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements below), equipment financing, and access to the public or private debt and/or equity markets, including the option to raise capital from the sale of our securities under the Form S- 3  (as discussed below).   See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the 2016 Credit Facility, the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company’s other debt.    Total debt and finance lease obligations at  September 30, 2022 totaled $ 28,966 , which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $ 17,596 . The Company's revolving line of credit balance is included in the “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.    5 Table of Contents   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 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.    On March 9, 2021, the Company entered into a $ 10,000  Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company issued 1,897,697   shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, thereunder during the first two quarters of  2021.

The Company will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75 % of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 100,379 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of the Company’s common stock were approximately $ 323 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $ 9 and before deducting other expenses of $ 93 . As of September 30, 2022, shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of approximately $ 11,667  remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.   On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.  The ERC is available for wages paid through September  30, 2021 and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. The maximum tax credit that could be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 was $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In the first and second quarters of 2021, the Company received ERC benefits of $ 3,372 and $ 3,593 , respectively, which were recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not qualify for the ERC benefit during the third quarter of 2021 due to relatively higher revenues in 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The receivable for the remaining uncollected ERC benefit was $ 497  as of December 31, 2021 and was included in the “Employee retention credit receivable” line item in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at December  31, 2021. The remaining $ 497 for the uncollected ERC benefit was collected during January 2022.   The Company also utilizes supply chain financing arrangements as a component of its 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.   During the three  and nine  months ended September  30, 2022, the Company sold account receivables totaling $ 30,662  and $ 77,099 , respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $ 615  and $ 1,110 , respectively. During the three and nine  months ended September  30, 2021, the Company sold account receivables totaling $ 23,998  and $ 78,661 , respectively, related to supply chain financing arrangements, of which customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling $ 47  and $ 183 , respectively.   The Company anticipates that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, potential proceeds from the sale of Company securities under the Sales Agreement 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. ​ If assumptions regarding the Company’s production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company’s large customers, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management’s expectations, particularly in light of the COVID- 19 pandemic, emerging variants and its effects on domestic and global economies, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. If the Company’s operational performance deteriorates significantly, it may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit the Company’s operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require the Company to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other restrictions on the Company. While the Company believes that it will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate its businesses and to meet its financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that its operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to meet these financial obligations. ​ Management’s Use of Estimates   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, health insurance reserves, and valuation allowances on deferred taxes. 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, particularly in light of the COVID- 19 pandemic.     NOTE 2 — REVENUES   Revenues are recognized when the promised goods or services are 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 :     Three Months Ended September 30,     Nine Months Ended September 30,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Heavy Fabrications   $ 30,640     $ 28,675     $ 93,486     $ 87,282   Gearing     10,190       7,562       30,890       20,315   Industrial Solutions     4,020       4,213       13,142       12,357   Eliminations     ( 7 )     ( 61 )     ( 819 )     ( 346 ) Consolidated   $ 44,843     $ 40,389     $ 136,699     $ 119,608     6 Table of Contents   Revenue within the Company’s Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments, as well as industrial fabrication product line revenues within the Heavy Fabrications segment, are generally recognized at a point in time, typically when the promised goods or services are physically 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.   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. 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.   Within the Gearing segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $ 499   and $ 2,444   for the three and nine  months ended September  30,   2021, respectively, 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 contracts. Since the Company’s projects are labor intensive, the Company uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the applicable contracts. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company ceased recording revenue over time within the Gearing segment due to a change in terms. During the nine  months ended September  30,   2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a portion of revenue within 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 contracts. Within the Heavy Fabrications segment, the Company recognized revenue over time of $ 5,927  and $ 13,336  for the three and nine  months ended September  30, 2022, respectively and recognized revenue over time of $ 1,791   and $ 4,220  for the three and nine  months ended September  30, 2021, respectively. The Company also uses labor hours as the input measure of progress for the applicable Heavy Fabrications contracts since the projects are labor intensive. Contract assets are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied but the Company is not yet entitled to payment. Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the end of the period.    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.     NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER SHARE     The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 , as follows:        Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       September 30,     September 30,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Basic earnings per share calculation:                                 Net (loss) income   $ ( 1,772 )   $ ( 2,105 )   $ ( 6,879 )   $ 6,937   Weighted average number of common shares outstanding     20,505,884       19,417,675       20,155,548       18,460,444   Basic net (loss) income per share   $ ( 0.09 )   $ ( 0.11 )   $ ( 0.34 )   $ 0.38   Diluted earnings per share calculation:                                 Net (loss) income   $ ( 1,772 )   $ ( 2,105 )   $ ( 6,879 )   $ 6,937   Weighted average number of common shares outstanding     20,505,884       19,417,675       20,155,548       18,460,444   Common stock equivalents:                                 Non-vested stock awards (1)     —       —       —       757,976   Weighted average number of common shares outstanding     20,505,884       19,417,675       20,155,548       19,218,420   Diluted net (loss) income per share   $ ( 0.09 )   $ ( 0.11 )   $ ( 0.34 )   $ 0.36     ( 1 ) Restricted stock units granted and outstanding of 811,342  as of September  30, 2022, are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings due to the anti-dilutive effect as a result of the Company’s net loss for the three and nine  months ended September  30, 2022.   7 Table of Contents   NOTE 4 — INVENTORIES     The components of inventories as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows:       September 30,     December 31,       2022     2021   Raw materials   $ 21,512     $ 16,148   Work-in-process     10,634       13,639   Finished goods     4,252       6,575         36,398       36,362   Less: Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory     ( 2,496 )     ( 2,985 ) Net inventories   $ 33,902     $ 33,377     ​   NOTE 5 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS   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 Company, LLC completed in 2017. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with a remaining life range from 0   to 5   years.   As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , the cost basis, accumulated amortization and net book value of intangible assets were as follows:       September 30, 2022     December 31, 2021                                       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     $ ( 161 )   $ —     $ 9       0.3     $ 170     $ ( 139 )   $ —     $ 31       1.1   Customer relationships     15,979       ( 7,513 )     ( 7,592 )     874       3.3       15,979       ( 7,284 )     ( 7,592 )     1,103       4.0   Trade names     9,099       ( 7,080 )     —       2,019       5.0       9,099       ( 6,780 )     —       2,319       5.8   Intangible assets   $ 25,248     $ ( 14,754 )   $ ( 7,592 )   $ 2,902       4.5     $ 25,248     $ ( 14,203 )   $ ( 7,592 )   $ 3,453       5.2   ​ As of September 30, 2022 , estimated future amortization expense was as follows:   2022   $ 180   2023     664   2024     661   2025     661   2026     422   2027 and thereafter     314   Total   $ 2,902   ​ ​    NOTE 6 — ACCRUED LIABILITIES   Accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:        September 30,     December 31,       2022     2021   Accrued payroll and benefits   $ 3,355     $ 2,992   Fair value of interest rate swap     —       27   Accrued property taxes     546       —   Income taxes payable     39       1   Accrued professional fees     109       129   Accrued warranty liability     128       125   Self-insured workers compensation reserve     31       166   Accrued other     689       214   Total accrued liabilities   $ 4,897     $ 3,654     8 Table of Contents     NOTE 7 — DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS   The Company’s outstanding debt balances as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:       September 30,     December 31,       2022     2021   Line of credit   $ 14,406     $ 6,350   Current portion of term loan     1,083       —   Other notes payable     2,198       274   Long-term debt     6,431       203   Less: Current portion     ( 15,629 )     ( 6,650 ) Long-term debt, net of current maturities   $ 8,489     $ 177     Credit Facility   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 “Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”), with CIBC as administrative agent and sole lead arranger and the other financial institutions party thereto, providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $ 35,000 secured credit facility (as amended to date, the “2016 Credit Facility”). The obligations under the 2016 Credit Facility were 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.   On October  29, 2020, the Company executed the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, 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 London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rate loans and 0.00 % and 0.75 % for base rate loans, and extending the term of the 2016 Credit Facility to  July  31, 2023.   On February 23, 2021, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, which waived testing of the fixed charge coverage covenant for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 20, 2021, added a new liquidity covenant applicable to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and new minimum EBITDA covenants applicable to the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company transitioned back to a fixed charge coverage covenant.   On November 8, 2021, the Company executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) which waived the fixed charge coverage ratio default for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, suspended testing of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through September 30, 2022, added a minimum EBITDA covenant applicable to the three -month period ending December 31, 2021, the six -month period ending March 31, 2022, the nine -month period ending June 30, 2022 and the twelve -month period ending September 30, 2022  and added a reserve of $ 5,000  to the revolving loan availability through December 31, 2022.    On February 28, 2022, the Company executed the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) which reduced the line of credit from $ 35,000 to $ 30,000 , extended the maturity date until January 31, 2024, waived the minimum EBITDA covenant for the three -month period ended December 31, 2021, revised the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as of December 31, 2022 for the trailing nine -month period after March 31, 2022, revised the minimum EBITDA covenant applicable to the three -month period ending March 31, 2022, the six -month period ending June 30, 2022 and the nine -month period ending September 30, 2022, revised the liquidity reserve to $ 2,500 and amended certain other provisions in connection with the discontinuation of LIBOR and replacement with the forward-looking term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) administered by CME Group, Inc.   In conjunction with the 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 fixed the interest rate on LIBOR borrowings for the entire original term of the 2016 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 condensed consolidated financial statements as of  December 31, 2021 . The interest rate swap expired in  February 2022.    On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), providing the Company and its subsidiaries with a $ 35,000  senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $ 10,000  upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $ 7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. The 2022 Credit Facility replaced the 2016 Credit Facility. All obligations outstanding under the 2016 Credit Facility were refinanced by the 2022 Credit Facility on August 5, 2022.   The 2022 Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets, change the nature of its business, and enter into transactions with affiliates.  In addition, the 2022 Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility) (i) as of the twelve -month period ending July 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023 of 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) as of each twelve -month period thereafter to be greater than 1.1 to 1.0 and minimum EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility) on a month-end basis of $ 0 for the six month period ending June 30, 2022, $ 1,500  for the nine -month period ending September 30, 2022, $ 2,500  for the twelve -month period ending December 31, 2022, $ 3,600  for the twelve -month period ending March 31, 2023, and $ 5,100  for the twelve -month period ending June 30, 2023. The initial term of the revolving credit facility matures August 4, 2027. The term loan also matures on August 4, 2027, with monthly payments based on an 84 -month amortization.   9 Table of Contents   Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest at the following rates depending on the classification of the borrowing:   • term loan - Daily Simple SOFR (a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate published by the SOFR administrator on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor source), plus an applicable margin of 2.50%; and   • revolving credit loan - Daily Simple SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 2.00 % to 2.50 % depending on the excess availability on the revolving loan facility.   The 2022 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default including, without limitation, non-payment of obligations, non-performance of covenants and obligations, material judgments, bankruptcy or insolvency, change of control, breaches of representations and warranties, limitation or termination of any guarantee with respect to the 2022 Credit Agreement or unenforceability of documentation related to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company is allowed to prepay in whole or in part advances under the 2022 Credit Facility without penalty or premium.   The obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement are secured by, subject to certain exclusions, (i) a  first  priority security interest in all accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, money and investment property, and (ii) a deed of trust, assignment of leases and rents and security agreement and fixture filing on the Abilene, Texas facility.   In connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, on August 4, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of Wells Fargo, whereby the Guarantors guaranteed the full payment of all the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2022 Credit Facility. Each of the Company’s additional subsidiaries, if any, upon becoming a direct or indirect subsidiary, will be required to become a party to the Guaranty. Additionally, in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company incurred deferred financing costs in the amount of $ 470 primarily related to the revolving credit loan. These costs are included in the “Other assets” line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022.    As of September 30, 2022 , there was $ 21,893   of outstanding indebtedness under the 2022  Credit Facility, with the ability to borrow an additional $ 13,315 . As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2022  Credit Facility.   10 Table of Contents   Other     In 2016, the Company entered into a $ 570 loan agreement with the Development Corporation of Abilene which is included in the “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 . The loan is forgivable upon the Company meeting and maintaining specific employment thresholds. During each of the years 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018, $ 114 of the loan was forgiven. As of September 30, 2022 , the loan balance was $ 114 . In addition, the Company has outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $ 2,111  and $ 363  as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , respectively, with $ 26  and $ 186  included in the “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 . The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $ 3  to $ 16  and an interest rate of approximately 6 %. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable mature in  September  2028.     NOTE 8 — LEASES   The Company leases certain facilities and equipment. The leases are accounted for under Accounting Standard Update 2016 - 02, Leases (“Topic 842” ), and the Company elected to apply each available practical expedient. The discount rates used for the leases are based on an interest rate yield curve developed for the leases in the Company’s lease portfolio.   The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022  and 2021, the Company had additional operating leases that resulted in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $ 187  and $ 907 , respectively. Additionally, during the  nine months ended September 30, 2022  and 2021, the Company had additional finance leases that resulted in property, plant, and equipment obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $ 1,773   and $ 2,444 , respectively.    Some of the Company’s facility leases include options to renew. The exercise of the renewal options is typically at the Company’s discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes them in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise them.   11 Table of Contents   Quantitative information regarding the Company’s leases is as follows:       Three Months Ended September 30,     Nine Months Ended September 30,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Components of lease cost                                 Finance lease cost components:                                 Amortization of finance lease assets   $ 293     $ 268     $ 869     $ 709   Interest on finance lease liabilities     82       92       259       265   Total finance lease costs     375       360       1,128       974   Operating lease cost components:                                 Operating lease cost     716       741       2,119       2,260   Short-term lease cost     187       166       483       540   Variable lease cost (1)     218       220       669       647   Sublease income     ( 64 )     ( 47 )     ( 143 )     ( 140 ) Total operating lease costs     1,057       1,080       3,128       3,307                                     Total lease cost   $ 1,432     $ 1,440     $ 4,256     $ 4,281                                     Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases is as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:                                 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:                                 Operating cash outflow from operating leases                   $ 2,609     $ 2,722                                     Weighted-average remaining lease term-finance leases at end of period (in years)                     2.5       2.0   Weighted-average remaining lease term-operating leases at end of period (in years)                     8.3       9.1   Weighted-average discount rate-finance leases at end of period                     6.0 %     6.4 % Weighted-average discount rate-operating leases at end of period                     8.7 %     8.6 %     ( 1 ) Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance, utilities, and common area or other maintenance costs for the Company’s leased facilities and equipment. ​ As of September 30, 2022 , future minimum lease payments under finance leases and operating leases were as follows: ​     Finance     Operating               Leases     Leases     Total   2022   $ 728     $ 887     $ 1,615   2023     1,924       3,453       5,377   2024     1,041       2,998       4,039   2025     635       3,064       3,699   2026     422       3,059       3,481   2027 and thereafter     694       14,046       14,740   Total lease payments     5,444       27,507       32,951   Less—portion representing interest     ( 596 )     ( 8,456 )     ( 9,052 ) Present value of lease obligations     4,848       19,051       23,899   Less—current portion of lease obligations     ( 1,967 )     ( 1,871 )     ( 3,838 ) Long-term portion of lease obligations   $ 2,881     $ 17,180     $ 20,061   ​    NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS     Fair Value of Financial Instruments     The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, 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.    12 Table of Contents   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 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed 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 condensed 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 interest rate swap expired in February 2022.    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.    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.   The following tables represent the fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 :       September 30, 2022       Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total   Liabilities measured on a recurring basis:                                 Interest rate swap   $ —     $ —     $ —     $ —   Total liabilities at fair value   $ —     $ —     $ —     $ —         December 31, 2021       Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total   Liabilities measured on a recurring basis:                                 Interest rate swap   $ —     $ 27     $ —     $ 27   Total liabilities at fair value   $ —     $ 27     $ —     $ 27       NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES     Effective tax rates differ from federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance, permanent differences and provisions for state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2022 , the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 , the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $ 36 , compared to a provision for income taxes of $ 101  during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 .    The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2022 , open tax years in federal and some state jurisdictions date back to 1996 due to the taxing authorities’ ability to adjust operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2021 , the Company had federal and unapportioned state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $ 277,310  of which $ 227,781 will generally 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.   Since the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits, they will not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the expiration of the applicable statues of limitations within the next twelve months. In addition, 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 Section 382 of the IRC 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  Section  382 of the IRC in 2010, the Company determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership have triggered an annual limitation on NOL carryforwards and built-in losses available for utilization, thereby currently limiting annual NOL usage to $ 14,284 per year. Further limitations may occur, depending on additional future changes in stock ownership. To the extent the Company’s use of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses is significantly limited in the future, the Company’s income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would be if the Company were able to use NOL carryforwards and built-in losses without such limitation, which could result in lower profits and the loss of benefits from these attributes.    13 Table of Contents   In February 2013, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, which was amended in February 2016 and approved by the Company’s 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.  On February 3, 2022, the Board approved an amendment which included an extension of the Rights Plan for an additional three years, which was subsequently approved at the  2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on  April 26, 2022.    The Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, 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 $ 7.26  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.    As of September 30, 2022 , the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 .     NOTE 11 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION   ​ There was no  stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022  and no  stock options were outstanding as of September 30, 2022 . During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the amount of $ 425 for liability awards that will be settled in shares in 2023. The liability is recognized in the “Accrued liabilities” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and has a balance of $ 425 as of  September 30, 2022.    The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit and performance award activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 :                Weighted Average       Number of     Grant-Date Fair Value       Shares     Per Share   Unvested as of December 31, 2021     918,448     $ 2.72   Granted     734,077     $ 1.75   Vested     ( 815,734 )   $ 2.23   Forfeited     ( 25,449 )   $ 2.60   Unvested as of September 30, 2022     811,342     $ 2.39     Under certain situations, shares are withheld from issuance to cover taxes for the vesting of restricted stock units and performance awards. For the nine  months ended September  30, 2022, 280,175  shares were withheld to cover $ 546  of tax obligations.    The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 , as follows:        Nine Months Ended September 30,       2022     2021   Share-based compensation expense:                 Cost of sales   $ 106     $ 103   Selling, general and administrative     1,079       754   Net effect of share-based compensation expense on net income   $ 1,185     $ 857   Reduction in earnings per share:                 Basic earnings per share   $ 0.06     $ 0.05   Diluted earnings per share   $ 0.06     $ 0.04     14 Table of Contents     NOTE 12 — 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 of such 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.     NOTE 13 — 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.     NOTE 14— 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.   The Company’s segments and their product and service offerings are summarized below:    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 concentration, 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 tower 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 ( 1,650 tower sections), sufficient to support turbines generating more than 1,100  megawatts of power. The Company has expanded production capabilities and leveraged manufacturing competencies, including welding, lifting capacity and stringent quality practices, into aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) components utilized in surface and underground mining, construction, material handling, oil and gas (“O&G”) and other infrastructure markets.   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 and gearbox repair in Neville Island, Pennsylvania.   Industrial Solutions    The Company provides supply chain solutions, light fabrication, inventory management, kitting and assembly services, primarily serving the combined cycle natural gas turbine market, as well as other clean technology markets.   15 Table of Contents   Corporate   “Corporate” includes the assets and selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company’s corporate office. “Eliminations” comprises adjustments to reconcile segment results to consolidated results.    The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those referenced in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Summary financial information by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:       Heavy Fabrications     Gearing     Industrial Solutions     Corporate     Eliminations     Consolidated   For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022                                                 Revenues from external customers   $ 30,640     $ 10,190     $ 4,013     $ —     $ —     $ 44,843   Intersegment revenues     —       —       7       —       ( 7 )     —   Net revenues     30,640       10,190       4,020       —       ( 7 )     44,843   Operating income (loss)     372       624       ( 191 )     ( 1,322 )     ( 3 )     ( 520 ) Depreciation and amortization     852       477       98       59       —       1,486   Capital expenditures     976       64       20       —       —       1,060         Heavy Fabrications     Gearing     Industrial Solutions     Corporate     Eliminations     Consolidated   For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021                                                 Revenues from external customers   $ 28,675     $ 7,562     $ 4,152     $ —     $ —     $ 40,389   Intersegment revenues     —       —       61       —       ( 61 )     —   Net revenues     28,675       7,562       4,213       —       ( 61 )     40,389   Operating (loss) income     ( 445 )     ( 219 )     ( 108 )     ( 1,248 )     23       ( 1,997 ) Depreciation and amortization     967       463       105       59       —       1,594   Capital expenditures     294       306       —       4       —       604         Heavy Fabrications     Gearing     Industrial Solutions     Corporate     Eliminations     Consolidated   For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022                                                 Revenues from external customers   $ 93,486     $ 30,874     $ 12,339     $ —     $ —     $ 136,699   Intersegment revenues     —       16       803       —       ( 819 )     —   Net revenues     93,486       30,890       13,142       —       ( 819 )     136,699   Operating loss     ( 11 )     ( 73 )     ( 368 )     ( 4,050 )     ( 3 )     ( 4,505 ) Depreciation and amortization     2,593       1,507       299       182       —       4,581   Capital expenditures     2,176       540       38       3       —       2,757         Heavy Fabrications     Gearing     Industrial Solutions     Corporate     Eliminations     Consolidated   For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021                                                 Revenues from external customers   $ 87,277     $ 20,315     $ 12,016     $ —     $ —     $ 119,608   Intersegment revenues     5       —       341       —       ( 346 )     —   Net revenues     87,282       20,315       12,357       —       ( 346 )     119,608   Operating loss     ( 1,873 )     ( 2,090 )     ( 169 )     ( 4,487 )     —       ( 8,619 ) Depreciation and amortization     2,904       1,383       315       156       —       4,758   Capital expenditures     942       343       26       58       —       1,369     16 Table of Contents       Total Assets as of       September 30,     December 31,   Segments:   2022     2021   Heavy Fabrications   $ 38,975     $ 37,131   Gearing     51,356       46,219   Industrial Solutions     11,277       10,825   Corporate     241,385       228,219   Eliminations     ( 216,929 )     ( 204,347 )     $ 126,064     $ 118,047       NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES     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. Certain environmental laws may 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.    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts     Based upon past experience and judgment, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable. 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 collectability of its accounts receivable. These factors include individual customer circumstances, history with the Company, the length of the time period during which the account receivable has been past due and other relevant criteria.    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 collectability of its accounts receivable, as noted above, or modifications to its credit standards, collection practices and other related policies may impact the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and its financial results. The activity in the accounts receivable allowance liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:        For the Nine Months Ended September 30,       2022     2021   Balance at beginning of period   $ 47     $ 473   Write-offs     ( 8 )     ( 432 ) Other adjustments     ( 10 )     ( 2 ) Balance at end of period   $ 29     $ 39     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.    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/or are dependent on actual losses sustained by the customer. The Company does not believe that this potential exposure will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. There was no reserve for liquidated damages as of  September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.    17 Table of Contents     Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances including, but not limited to, those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of Item 2. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties including those arising as a result of, or amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Broadwind, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, and its subsidiaries, as appropriate.    (Dollars are presented in thousands except share, per share and per employee data or unless otherwise stated)     KEY METRICS USED BY MANAGEMENT TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE   In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we use certain other financial measures to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures primarily consist of adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and free cash flow which help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, assess operational efficiencies, oversee our overall liquidity, and evaluate our overall financial performance.   Key Financial Measures       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       September 30,     September 30,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Net revenues   $ 44,843     $ 40,389     $ 136,699     $ 119,608   Net (loss) income   $ (1,772 )   $ (2,105 )   $ (6,879 )   $ 6,937   Adjusted EBITDA (1)   $ 1,897     $ 401     $ 2,259     $ 14,418   Capital expenditures   $ 1,060     $ 604     $ 2,757     $ 1,369   Free cash flow (2)   $ 223     $ (3,251 )   $ (8,169 )   $ (1,913 ) Operating working capital (3)   $ 26,306     $ 19,554     $ 26,306     $ 19,554   Total debt   $ 24,118     $ 5,673     $ 24,118     $ 5,673   Total orders   $ 84,457     $ 42,597     $ 163,196     $ 103,252   Backlog at end of period (4)   $ 132,213     $ 76,531     $ 132,213     $ 76,531   Book-to-bill (5)     1.9       1.1       1.2       0.9     (1) We provide non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation and other stock payments, restructuring costs, impairment charges, and other non-cash gains and losses) as supplemental information regarding our business performance. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA when it internally evaluates the performance of our business, reviews financial trends and makes operating and strategic decisions. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides a better understanding of our past financial performance and future results, and it allows investors to evaluate our performance using the same methodology and information as used by our management. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.   (2) We define free cash flow as adjusted EBITDA plus or minus changes in operating working capital less capital expenditures net of any proceeds from disposals of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our business for purposes such as repaying maturing debt and funding future investments.   (3) We define operating working capital as accounts receivable and inventory net of accounts payable and customer deposits.   (4) Our backlog at September 30, 2022 and 2021 is net of revenue recognized over time.    (5) We define the book-to-bill as the ratio of new orders we received, net of cancellations, to revenue during a period.   The following table reconciles our non-GAAP key financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       September 30,     September 30,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Net (loss) income   $ (1,772 )   $ (2,105 )   $ (6,879 )   $ 6,937   Interest expense     1,234       269       2,355       816   Income tax provision     14       24       36       101   Depreciation and amortization     1,486       1,594       4,581       4,758   Share-based compensation and other stock payments     935       619       2,166       1,806   Adjusted EBITDA     1,897       401       2,259       14,418   Changes in operating working capital     (614 )     (2,555 )     (7,671 )     (14,492 ) Employee retention credit receivable     —       (503 )     —       (503 ) Capital expenditures     (1,060 )     (604 )     (2,757 )     (1,369 ) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment     —       10       —       33   Free Cash Flow   $ 223     $ (3,251 )   $ (8,169 )   $ (1,913 )   18 Table of Contents   OUR BUSINESS     Third Quarter Overview     We booked $84,457 in new orders in the third quarter of 2022, up significantly from $42,597 in the third quarter of 2021. Within our Heavy Fabrications segment, wind tower orders increased 223% compared to the prior year quarter as tower customers secured 2022 and 2023 production capacity to support ongoing wind turbine tower installation projects.   Partially offsetting the increase in tower orders within the Heavy Fabrication segment was a 41% decrease in industrial fabrication orders. Gearing segment orders increased 34% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher demand from oil and gas (“O&G”), industrial, and mining customers. Orders within our Industrial Solutions segment increased by 34% as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in new gas turbine orders.    We recognized revenue of $44,843 in the third quarter of 2022, up 11% compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to a 95% increase in industrial fabrications product line revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment and a 35% increase in Gearing segment revenue. The increase in industrial fabrication revenue is primarily attributable to strong recent order intake from industrial customers and revenue recognized on our Pressure Reducing Systems (“PRS”) units. This increase was partially offset by a 26% decrease in tower sections sold. The Gearing revenue increase was primarily driven by strong order intake in recent quarters from O&G customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue. Industrial Solutions segment revenue decreased 5% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to global logistics delays.   We recorded a net loss of $1,772 or $0.09 per share in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss $2,105 or $0.11 per share in the third quarter of 2021.This decrease in net loss was due primarily to higher sales, partially offset by higher material costs and increased interest expense.    COVID-19 Pandemic   The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business, trade, commerce and financial markets in the U.S. and globally. Through September 30, 2022, we experienced an adverse impact to our business, operations and financial results as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic due in part to a decline in order activity levels, manufacturing inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions and employee staffing constraints due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, we continue to right-size our workforce and delay certain capital expenditures. In future periods, we may experience weaker customer demand, requests for extended payment terms, customer bankruptcies, additional supply chain disruption, employee staffing constraints and difficulties, government restrictions or other factors that could negatively impact the Company and its business, operations and financial results. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic, including in light of the emerging variants, or its impact on economic and financial markets, any negative impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but it could be material.   We continue to monitor closely the Company’s financial health and liquidity and the impact of the pandemic on the Company, including emerging variants. We have been able to serve the needs of our customers while taking steps to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners, and communities. Among these steps, we follow the guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   19 Table of Contents   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS     Three months ended September 30, 2022, Compared to Three months ended September 30, 2021     The condensed consolidated statement of operations table below should be read in connection with a review of the following discussion of our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.       Three Months Ended September 30,     2022 vs. 2021               % of Total             % of Total                       2022     Revenue     2021     Revenue     $ Change     % Change   Revenues   $ 44,843       100.0 %   $ 40,389       100.0 %   $ 4,454       11.0 % Cost of sales     41,095       91.6 %     38,315       94.9 %     2,780       7.3 % Gross profit     3,748       8.4 %     2,074       5.1 %     1,674       80.7 % Operating expenses                                                 Selling, general and administrative expenses     4,085       9.1 %     3,888       9.6 %     197       5.1 % Intangible amortization     183       0.4 %     183       0.5 %     —       0.0 % Total operating expenses     4,268       9.5 %     4,071       10.1 %     197       4.8 % Operating loss     (520 )     (1.2 )%     (1,997 )     (4.9 )%     1,477       74.0 % Other (expense) income, net                                                 Interest expense, net     (1,234 )     (2.8 )%     (269 )     (0.7 )%     (965 )     (358.7 )% Other, net     (4 )     (0.0 )%     185       0.5 %     (189 )     (102.2 )% Total other (expense) income, net     (1,238 )     (2.8 )%     (84 )     (0.2 )%     (1,154 )     (1373.8 )% Net loss before provision for income taxes     (1,758 )     (3.9 )%     (2,081 )     (5.2 )%     323       15.5 % Provision for income taxes     14       0.0 %     24       0.1 %     (10 )     (41.7 )% Net loss   $ (1,772 )     (4.0 )%   $ (2,105 )     (5.2 )%   $ 333       15.8 %   Consolidated     Revenues increased by $4,454 versus the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to a 95% increase in industrial fabrications product line revenue within the Heavy Fabrications segment compared to the prior year quarter primarily as a result of strong recent order intake from industrial customers and revenue recognized on our PRS units. This increase was partially offset by a 26% decrease in tower sections sold compared to the prior year quarter. Gearing segment revenue was up 35% from the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher recent order intake from O&G customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue. Industrial Solutions segment revenue decreased by 5% from the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to global logistics delays.    Gross profit increased by $1,674 when compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the higher sales volumes within the Gearing and Heavy Fabrications segments, partially offset by higher material costs.    Due primarily to higher revenue levels, operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.5% in the current-year quarter from 10.1% in the prior year quarter.   Net loss was $1,772 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $2,105 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease in net loss was primarily due to the factors described above, partially offset by higher interest expense.   Heavy Fabrications Segment         Three Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 62,873     $ 26,539   Tower sections sold     145       197   Revenues     30,640       28,675   Operating income     372       (445 ) Operating margin     1.2 %     (1.6 )%   Wind tower orders increased 223% compared to the prior year quarter as tower customers secured 2022 and 2023 production capacity to support ongoing wind turbine tower installation projects. Industrial fabrications product line orders decreased 41% from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower mining demand. Heavy Fabrications segment revenues increased 7% compared to the prior year primarily due to a 95% increase in industrial fabrication line revenues, which was partially offset by a 26% decrease in tower sections sold.    20 Table of Contents   Heavy Fabrications segment operating income increased by $817 compared to the prior year quarter. The quarter-over-quarter improvement in operating performance is primarily a result of higher sales volumes and labor efficiencies, partially offset by higher material costs. Operating margin was 1.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase from (1.6)% during the three months ended September 30, 2021.   Gearing Segment       Three Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 15,523     $ 11,546   Revenues     10,190       7,562   Operating income (loss)     624       (219 ) Operating margin     6.1 %     (2.9 )%   Gearing segment orders increased 34% from the prior year period primarily due to increased demand from industrial, mining, and O&G customers. Gearing revenue was up 35% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher order intake in recent quarters from O&G customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue.   Gearing segment operating income improved by $843 from the prior year period. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher sales partially offset by increased fixed costs to support volumes. Operating margin was 6.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement from (2.9)% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, driven primarily by the items identified above.   Industrial Solutions Segment         Three Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 6,061     $ 4,512   Revenues     4,020       4,213   Operating loss     (191 )     (108 ) Operating margin     (4.8 )%     (2.6 )%   21 Table of Contents   Industrial Solutions segment orders increased by 34% from the prior year period primarily due to the timing of orders associated with new gas turbine orders. Segment revenue decreased by 5% from the prior year period primarily due to global logistics delays. Operating loss increased versus the prior-year quarter primarily as a result of lower sales and   higher freight and packaging costs.    Corporate and Other     Corporate and Other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased from the prior year period primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.    Nine months ended September 30, 2022, Compared to Nine months ended September 30, 2021     The condensed consolidated statement of operations table below should be read in connection with a review of the following discussion of our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.       Nine Months Ended September 30,     2022 vs. 2021               % of Total             % of Total                       2022     Revenue     2021     Revenue     $ Change     % Change   Revenues   $ 136,699       100.0 %   $ 119,608       100.0 %   $ 17,091       14.3 % Cost of sales     128,545       94.0 %     115,054       96.2 %     13,491       11.7 % Gross profit     8,154       6.0 %     4,554       3.8 %     3,600       79.1 % Operating expenses                                                 Selling, general and administrative expenses     12,109       8.9 %     12,623       10.6 %     (514 )     (4.1 )% Intangible amortization     550       0.4 %     550       0.5 %     —       — % Total operating expenses     12,659       9.3 %     13,173       11.0 %     (514 )     (3.9 )% Operating loss     (4,505 )     (3.3 )%     (8,619 )     (7.2 )%     4,114       47.7 % Other (expense) income, net                                                 Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness     —       — %     9,151       7.7 %     (9,151 )     (100.0 )% Interest expense, net     (2,355 )     (1.7 )%     (816 )     (0.7 )%     (1,539 )     (188.6 )% Other, net     17       0.0 %     7,322       6.1 %     (7,305 )     (99.8 )% Total other (expense) income, net     (2,338 )     (1.7 )%     15,657       13.1 %     (17,995 )     (114.9 )% Net (loss) income before provision for income taxes     (6,843 )     (5.0 )%     7,038       5.9 %     (13,881 )     (197.2 )% Provision for income taxes     36       0.0 %     101       0.1 %     (65 )     (64.4 )% Net (loss) income   $ (6,879 )     (5.0 )%   $ 6,937       5.8 %   $ (13,816 )     (199.2 )%   Consolidated     Revenues increased by $17,091 versus the prior year period.  Gearing segment revenue was up 52% from 2021, primarily driven by strong recent order intake from O&G, mining, and industrial customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue. Heavy Fabrications segment revenues increased by 7% as lower tower demand was more than offset by a 101% increase in industrial fabrications product line revenue. The industrial fabrications product line revenue increase was primarily attributable to higher recent order intake from industrial and mining customers, in addition to revenue recognized on our PRS units. Industrial Solutions segment revenue increased by 6%, primarily due to an increase in revenue from aftermarket projects, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from new gas turbine projects.   Gross profit increased by $3,600 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher sales volumes in the Gearing and the Heavy Fabrications segments, partially offset by higher material costs and ramp-up costs. As a result, gross margin increased to 6.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 3.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.   Due primarily to higher revenue levels and reduced legal and professional fees, operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.3% in the current-year period from 11.0% in the prior year period.   Net loss was $6,879 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income of $6,937 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the factors described above and the absence of the $6,965 employee retention credit (“ERC”) benefit and the $9,151 Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan forgiveness recorded in the prior year.    Heavy Fabrications Segment         Nine Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 110,022     $ 62,096   Tower sections sold     474       668   Revenues     93,486       87,282   Operating loss     (11 )     (1,873 ) Operating margin     (0.0 )%     (2.1 )%   Wind tower orders increased 106% versus the prior year period as tower customers secured 2022 and 2023 production capacity to support ongoing wind turbine tower installation projects. Industrial fabrications product line orders increased 10% from the prior year period primarily due to increased demand for PRS units and industrial products, partially offset by a reduction in mining demand. Heavy Fabrications segment revenues increased 7% primarily due to a 101% increase in industrial fabrication revenue primarily due to higher recent order intake from industrial and mining customers, in addition to revenue recognized from our PRS units in the current year. The increase in industrial fabrications revenue was partially offset by a 29% decrease in tower sections sold.    22 Table of Contents   Heavy Fabrications segment operating loss improved by $1,862 compared to the prior year period. The improvement in operating performance was primarily a result of higher sales in the current year and the absence of one-time events that occurred during the prior year period including a weather-related event and a customer driven project delay, partially offset by higher material costs and costs associated with transitioning a portion of the workforce to support growth in the industrial fabrications product line. Operating margin was 0.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement from (2.1)% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.   Gearing Segment       Nine Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 38,526     $ 29,325   Revenues     30,890       20,315   Operating loss     (73 )     (2,090 ) Operating margin     (0.2 )%     (10.3 )%   Gearing segment orders increased 31% from the prior year period primarily due to increased demand from O&G, mining, and industrial customers. Gearing revenue was up 52% relative to the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher order intake in recent quarters from O&G, industrial, and mining customers, partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket wind revenue.   Gearing segment operating loss improved by $2,017 from the prior year period. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher sales, partially offset by higher material costs, ramp-up costs, and increased fixed costs to support higher volumes. Operating margin was (0.2)% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement from (10.3)% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven primarily by the items identified above.   Industrial Solutions Segment         Nine Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Orders   $ 14,648     $ 11,831   Revenues     13,142       12,357   Operating loss     (368 )     (169 ) Operating margin     (2.8 )%     (1.4 )%   23 Table of Contents   Industrial Solutions segment orders increased by 24% from the prior year period primarily due to the timing of orders associated with aftermarket projects. Segment revenue increased by 6% from the prior year period primarily due to an increase in revenue from aftermarket projects. The increased operating loss versus the prior year was primarily a result of higher variable expenses including freight costs.    Corporate and Other     Corporate and Other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower salaries and benefits.       LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES     As of September 30, 2022, cash totaled $1,509, an increase of $657   from December 31, 2021. Cash balances remain limited as operating receipts and disbursements flow through our 2022 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements), which was in a drawn position as of September 30, 2022. Debt and finance lease obligations at September 30, 2022 totaled $28,966. As of September 30, 2022, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $13,315 un der the 2022 Credit Facility. In addition to the 2022 Credit Facility, we also utilize 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, we have agreed to sell certain of our 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 consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees incurred in connection with the agreements are recorded as interest expense.   On March 9, 2021, we entered into a $10,000 Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC (the “Manager”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we issued 1,897,697 shares of the Company's common stock thereunder during the first two quarters of 2021. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sales of such shares were approximately $9,725 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $275   and before deducting other expense of $411.    On September 12, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and HC Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the “Agents”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may sell from time to time through the Agents shares of our common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $12,000. Any shares offered and sold under the Sales Agreement are to be issued pursuant to the Form S-3 and the 424(b) prospectus supplement relating to the offering dated September 12, 2022. We will pay a commission to the Agents of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement and reimburse the Agents for the expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under the Sales Agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we issued 100,379 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds (before upfront costs) to us from the sale of our common stock were approximately $323 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $9. As of September 30, 2022, shares of our common stock having a value of approximately $11,667 remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.   On August 4, 2022, we executed the 2022 Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), providing us with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon our request and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. The 2022 Credit Facility replaces the 2016 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements). All obligations outstanding under the 2016 Credit Facility were refinanced by the 2022 Credit Facility on August 5, 2022. For more information on the 2022 Credit Facility, please see Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreement” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.   We anticipate that current cash resources, amounts available under the 2022 Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and equipment financing, proceeds from the sale of securities under the Sales Agreement and any potential proceeds from the sale of further securities under the Form S-3 will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.   24 Table of Contents   If assumptions regarding our production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of our large customers, as well as receipt of customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management’s expectations, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and emerging variants, and its effects on domestic and global economies, we may encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. ​ If our operational performance deteriorates, we may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the 2022 Credit Facility. This could limit our operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any attempt to raise equity through the public markets could have a negative effect on our stock price, making an equity raise more difficult or more dilutive. Any additional equity financing or equity linked financing, if available, will be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other operating and financial restrictions on us. While we believe that we will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate our businesses and to meet our financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that our operations will generate sufficient cash or that existing or new credit facilities or equity or equity linked financings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet these financial obligations.   Sources and Uses of Cash     The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:       Nine Months Ended       September 30,       2022     2021   Total cash (used in) provided by:                 Operating activities   $ (10,271 )   $ (10,823 ) Investing activities     (2,757 )     (1,336 ) Financing activities     13,685       11,122   Net increase (decrease) in cash   $ 657     $ (1,037 )   Operating Cash Flows     During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities totale d $10,271 com pared to net cash used in operating activities of $10,823 during the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used was primarily due to improved operating performance in the current year and less operating working capital build, partially offset by the ERC and PPP loan forgiveness benefits which were recognized in the prior year period.   Investing Cash Flows     During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities tot aled $2,757, comp ared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,336 during the prior year period. The increase in net cash used in investing activities as compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in net purchases of property and equipment.   Financing Cash Flows     During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities tot aled $13,685, co mpared to net cash provided by financing activities of $11,122 during the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased net borrowings under our 2022 Credit Facility in the current year, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of securities under the Equity Distribution Agreement received in the prior year.    In 2016, we entered into a $570 loan agreement with the Development Corporation of Abilene which is included in the “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The loan is forgivable upon the Company meeting and maintaining specific employment thresholds. During each of the years 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, $114 of the loan was forgiven. As of September 30, 2022, the loan balance was $114. In addition, we have outstanding notes payable for capital expenditures in the amount of $2,111   and $363 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with $26   and $186 included in the “Line of Credit and other notes payable” line item of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The notes payable have monthly payments that range from $3 to $16 and an interest rate of approximately 6%. The equipment purchased is utilized as collateral for the notes payable. The outstanding notes payable mature in September 2028.   The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided for the ERC, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.  The ERC is available for wages paid through September 30, 2021 and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. The maximum tax credit that could be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 was $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In the first and second quarters of 2021, we received ERC benefits of $3,372 and $3,593, respectively, which were recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We did not qualify for the ERC benefit during the third quarter of 2021 due to relatively higher revenues in 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The receivable for the remaining uncollected ERC benefit was $497 as of December 31, 2021 and was included in the “Employee retention credit receivable” line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. The remaining balance of $497 for the uncollected ERC benefit was collected during January 2022.   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES   There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.    25 Table of Contents   CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS     The preceding discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Portions of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the discussion and analysis in this Part I, Item 2, contain “forward looking statements”, as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), that reflect our current expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. We have tried to identify forward looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “plan” and similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward looking statements. Forward looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact. Our forward-looking statements may include or relate to our beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions with respect to the following, many of which are, and will be, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic: (i) the impact of global health concerns, including the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the economies and financial markets and the demand for our products; (ii) state, local and federal regulatory frameworks affecting the industries in which we compete, including the wind energy industry, and the related extension, continuation or renewal of federal tax incentives and grants and state renewable portfolio standards as well as new or continuing tariffs on steel or other products imported into the United States; (iii) our customer relationships and our substantial dependency on a few significant customers and our efforts to diversify our customer base and sector focus and leverage relationships across business units; (iv) the economic and operational stability of our significant customers and suppliers, including their respective supply chains, and the ability to source alternative suppliers as necessary, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; (v) our ability to continue to grow our business organically and through acquisitions, and the impairment thereto by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; (vi) the production, sales, collections, customer deposits and revenues generated by new customer orders and our ability to realize the resulting cash flows; (vii) information technology failures, network disruptions, cybersecurity attacks or breaches in data security, including with respect to any remote work arrangements implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; (viii) the sufficiency of our liquidity and alternate sources of funding, if necessary; (ix) our ability to realize revenue from customer orders and backlog; (x) our ability to operate our business efficiently, comply with our debt obligations, manage capital expenditures and costs effectively, and generate cash flow; (xi) the economy, including its stability in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the potential impact it may have on our business, including our customers; (xii) the state of the wind energy market and other energy and industrial markets generally and the impact of competition and economic volatility in those markets; (xiii) the effects of market disruptions and regular market volatility, including fluctuations in the price of oil, gas and other commodities; (xiv) competition from new or existing industry participants including, in particular, increased competition from foreign tower manufacturers; (xv) the effects of the change of administrations in the U.S. federal government; (xvi) our ability to successfully integrate and operate acquired companies and to identify, negotiate and execute future acquisitions; (xvii) the potential loss of tax benefits if we experience an “ownership change” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (xviii) our ability to utilize various relief options enabled by the CARES Act; (xix) the limited trading market for our securities and the volatility of market price for our securities; and (xx) the impact of future sales of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock on our stock price. These statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements including, but not limited to, those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We are under no duty to update any of these statements. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all of the risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause our current beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions to change. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results.   26 Table of Contents   Item 3.
