[{"type":"text","content":"CICERO, Ill., Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind (Nasdaq: BWEN, or the “Company”), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today announced results for the second quarter 2024. SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS Total revenue of $36.5 millionNet income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted shareTotal non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million, or 10.0% of total revenueRatio of net debt to trailing twelve-month non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 1.1x as of June 30, 2024 Broadwind reported second quarter net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus $1.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $3.6 million in the second quarter compared to $5.4 million in the prior-year period.

Total backlog was $139.1 million as of June 30, 2024, while the book-to-bill ratio was 0.5x for the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, Broadwind had total cash on hand and availability under the Company’s credit facility of $18.4 million, versus $22.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY “We continued to successfully navigate the ongoing transitional period for onshore wind demand by investing in technology, expanding within high-growth energy transition market adjacencies and driving improved productivity across our manufacturing footprint, resulting in continued operating leverage improvements during the quarter,” stated Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind. “While our second quarter wind and oil & gas revenues were pressured, wind OEM customer outlooks are improving and order indication activity is...
