Overview
US precision manufacturer reported Q1 revenue down 7.5% yr/yr but beat analyst expectations
Company posted Q1 net loss of $0.5 mln, or $0.02 per share
Revenue decline driven by lower Heavy Fabrication sales, partly offset by Gearing and Industrial Solutions growth
Outlook
Broadwind expects Gearing and Industrial Solutions to drive higher growth and profitability post-Wind exit
Company sees strong demand in power generation, industrial, mining, and natural gas turbine markets
Broadwind plans to pursue bolt-on acquisitions to accelerate growth in targeted markets
Result Drivers
HEAVY FABRICATIONS DECLINE - Revenue drop mainly due to lower Heavy Fabrications sales, impacted by sale of Manitowoc operations, lower PRS demand, and a raw material supply issue with an OEM customer
GEARING & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS GROWTH - Gearing and Industrial Solutions segments saw revenue increases of 42% and 64%, driven by strong demand from power generation, mining, and natural gas turbine markets
ORDER GROWTH - Orders rose 23% yr/yr, led by power generation and critical infrastructure demand
