NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2020

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W,” “management,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report. We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We present the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of December 31, 2019 and March 30, 2020, the date we issued our 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements, we were in compliance with the terms of the agreements governing our debt and no events of default existed. However, the Company’s uncertainty regarding liquidity and the ability to refinance our credit agreement (as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement") by May 11, 2020 represented conditions and events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, as we were not able to assert that it was probable that our plans when fully implemented would alleviate the events and conditions.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China and has subsequently spread globally, with over 180 countries around the world confirming infections, including the United States and countries throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. This global pandemic has disrupted business operations, trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, and daily life throughout the world. Our business has been adversely impacted by the measures taken by local governments and others to control the spread of this virus. While restrictions in some countries have begun to lessen, the Company's headquarters and the headquarters of our Babcock & Wilcox segment in Akron, Ohio, the headquarters of our Vølund & Other Renewable segment in Denmark and the headquarters of our SPIG segment in Italy (among other locations where the Company and its customers, vendors and suppliers operate) are currently subject to lock-down or shelter-in-place orders under local ordinances, with employees continuing to work remotely if possible. While some employees can work remotely, many customers and projects require B&W's employees to travel to customer and project worksites. Certain customers and significant projects are located in areas where travel restrictions have been imposed, certain customers have closed or reduced on-site activities, and timelines for completion of certain projects have also been extended into next year. Additionally, out of concern for our employees, those who are uncomfortable returning to worksites due to the pandemic are not required to do so. The resulting uncertainty concerning, among other things, the spread and economic impact of the virus has also caused significant volatility and, at times, illiquidity in global equity and credit markets.

Since January 1, 2020 and through the issuance of our 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements on March 30, 2020, we took the following actions, among others, and have successfully implemented, or are in the process of implementing the following:


•	entered into several amendments and waivers to avoid default and improve our liquidity under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement as described in Note 13 and Note 14, the most recent of which were Amendments No. 19, No. 20 and No. 21 dated January 17, 2020, January 31, 2020 and March 27, 2020, respectively;


•	on January 31, 2020, received $30.0 million of additional gross borrowings from B. Riley Financial, Inc. (together with its affiliates, "B. Riley") under a new Tranche A-4 of Last Out Term Loans, as described in in Note 14;


•	on January 31, 2020, received an incremental Tranche A-5 of Last Out Term Loan commitment to be used in the event certain customer letters of credit are drawn, as described in Note 14;


•	on March 12, 2020, filed for waiver of required minimum contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan as described in Note 12, that if granted, would reduce cash funding requirements in 2020 by approximately $25.0 million and would

increase contributions over the following five years. The Company cannot make any assurances that such waiver will be granted; and


•	on March 17, 2020, we fully settled the remaining escrow associated with the sale of Palm Beach Resource Recovery Corporation ("PBRRC") and received $4.5 million in cash.

In addition to the actions taken above, subsequent to March 30, 2020 we have taken the following actions:


•	on April 6, 2020, we fully settled the remaining escrow associated with the sale of the MEGTEC and Universal businesses and received $3.5 million in cash;


•	in April 2020, as part of the Company’s recent response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company has taken the following cash conservation and cost reduction measures which include:

◦temporary payroll reductions and unpaid furloughs for certain employees:


◦	temporarily deferring the monthly fee paid to BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC for the services of our Chief Executive Officer by 50%;


◦	deferrals of the base salaries of our Chief Strategy Officer by 50%, Chief Financial Officer by 30% and our Senior Vice President of The Babcock & Wilcox Company by 30%;

◦suspension of our 401(k) match for U.S. employees for the remainder of 2020;


◦	approval by the Company’s Board for a temporary deferral of 50% of the cash compensation payable to non-employee directors under the Company’s board compensation program to be paid during the first quarter of 2021;


◦	negotiating temporary rent payment deferrals related to leased facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Italy and Denmark;


◦	exploring options for government loans and programs in the U.S. and abroad that would be appropriate and available;


•	we elected to defer, in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") signed into law in March 2020, the contribution payment of $5.5 million for the 2020 Plan year that would have been made on April 15, 2020 related to our Pension Plan; and

•

on May 14, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with its lenders amending and restating the Amended Credit Agreement, among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") and lender, and the other lenders party thereto. The credit agreement, as amended and restated (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), among other amendments, extends the maturity date on the revolving credit facility to June 30, 2022 and the maturity date on the last out term loans (the "Last Out Term Loans") to December 30, 2022. Under the A&R Credit Agreement, B. Riley has committed to provide the Company with up to $70.0 million of additional Last Out Term Loans. B. Riley has also agreed to enter into a limited guaranty (the "B. Riley Guaranty") which provides for the guarantee of all of the Company's obligations with respect to the revolving credit facility (other than with respect to letters of credit and contingent obligations), including the obligation to repay outstanding revolving credit loans and pay earned interest and fees. For more information regarding the A&R Credit Agreement and the additional last out term loans being provided by B. Riley, see Note 23.

Based upon the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement and the cash conservation and cost reduction measures taken to date, the Company is projecting sufficient liquidity to fund future operations and to meet its obligations as they become due for at least one year following the date that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. As a result, the Company has concluded that conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, no longer raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of our common stock, net of non-controlling interest:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2020			2019
Loss from continuing operations	$	(33,439	)	$	(49,765	)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	1,913			—
Net loss attributable to stockholders	$	(31,526	)	$	(49,765	)

Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share ⁽¹⁾	46,403			18,359

Basic and diluted loss per share - continuing operations	$	(0.72	)	$	(2.71	)
Basic and diluted earnings per share - discontinued operations	0.04			—
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.68	)	$	(2.71	)

⁽¹⁾ Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the bonus element for the 2019 Rights Offering on July 23, 2019 as described below and the one-for-ten reverse stock split on July 24, 2019

In July 2019, the Company completed the 2019 Rights Offering to existing common stockholders. Because the rights issuance was offered to all existing stockholders at an exercise price that was less than the fair value of the stock, the weighted average shares outstanding and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were adjusted retroactively to reflect the bonus element of the rights offering for all periods presented by a factor of 1.0875. Weighted average shares, prior to giving effect to the 2019 Rights Offering, in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 16,881.

Because we incurred a net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted shares are the same.

If we had net income in the three months ended March 31, 2020, diluted shares would include an additional 0.5 million shares.

We excluded 0.5 million and 0.3 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operations are assessed based on three reportable segments summarized as follows:


•	Babcock & Wilcox segment: focused on the supply of, and aftermarket services, for steam-generating, environmental and auxiliary equipment for power generation and other industrial applications.


•	Vølund & Other Renewable segment: focused on the supply of steam-generating systems, environmental and auxiliary equipment and operations and maintenance services for the waste-to-energy and biomass power generation industries.


•	SPIG segment: focused on the supply of custom-engineered cooling systems for steam applications along with related aftermarket services.

Revenues exclude eliminations of revenues generated from sales to other segments or to other product lines within the segment. The primary component of the Babcock & Wilcox segment elimination is revenue associated with construction services. The primary component of total eliminations is associated with Babcock & Wilcox segment construction services provided to the SPIG segment. An analysis of our operations by segment is as follows:

⁽¹⁾Adjusted EBITDA, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, excludes stock compensation that was previously included in segment results and totals $0.1 million in the Babcock & Wilcox segment, $0.1 million in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment, and $0.4 million in Corporate. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, stock compensation is no longer considered in Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of managing the business, and prior periods have been adjusted to be presented on a comparable basis.


⁽²⁾	In March 2019, we entered into a settlement in connection with an additional European waste-to-energy EPC contract, for which notice to proceed was not given and the contract was not started. The settlement eliminates our obligations to act, and our risk related to acting, as the prime EPC should the project have moved forward.

We do not separately identify or report our assets by segment as our chief operating decision maker does not consider assets by segment to be a critical measure by which performance is measured.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS

Revenue Recognition

A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services primarily in the Babcock & Wilcox segment, accounted for 31% and 18% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon shipment or delivery and acceptance by the customer. Standard commercial payment terms generally apply to these sales.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 69% and 82% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized over time primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services from all three of our segments. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input method that uses costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying our performance obligations. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material, overhead and, when appropriate, SG&A expenses. Variable consideration in these contracts includes estimates of liquidated damages, contractual bonuses and penalties, and contract modifications. Substantially all of our revenue recognized over time under the cost-to-cost input method contains a single performance obligation as the interdependent nature of the goods and services provided prevents them from being separately identifiable within the contract. Generally, we try to structure contract milestones to mirror our expected cash outflows over the course of the contract; however, the timing of milestone receipts can greatly affect our overall cash position and have in our Vølund & Other Renewable segment. Refer to Note 3 for our disaggregation of revenue by product line.

As of March 31, 2020, we have estimated the costs to complete all of our in-process contracts in order to estimate revenues using a cost-to-cost input method. However, it is possible that current estimates could change due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs. The risk on fixed-priced contracts is that revenue from the customer does not cover increases in our costs. It is possible that current estimates could materially change for various reasons, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in forecasted labor productivity, transportation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or steel and other raw material prices. Increases in costs on our fixed-price contracts could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Alternatively, reductions in overall contract costs at completion could materially improve our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in material adjustments to operating results for any fiscal quarter or year.

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract, with cumulative adjustment to revenue.

We recognize accrued claims in contract revenues for extra work or changes in scope of work to the extent of costs incurred when we believe we have an enforceable right to the modification or claim and the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, we consider the contractual/legal basis for enforcing the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred and whether those costs are identifiable or otherwise determinable, the nature and reasonableness of those costs, the objective evidence available to support the amount of the claim, and our relevant history with the counter-party that supports our expectations about their willingness and ability to pay for the additional cost along with a reasonable margin.

We generally recognize sales commissions in equal proportion as revenue is recognized. Our sales agreements are structured such that commissions are only payable upon receipt of payment, thus a capitalized asset at contract inception that has not been recorded for sales commission as a liability has not been incurred at that point.

Backlog

On March 31, 2020 we had $501.0 million of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as total backlog. We expect to recognize approximately 35.6%, 28.1% and 36.3% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of 2020, 2021 and thereafter, respectively.

Vølund EPC Loss Contracts

We had six Vølund EPC contracts for renewable energy facilities in Europe that were loss contracts at December 31, 2017. The scope of these EPC (Engineer, Procure and Construct) contracts extended beyond our core technology, products and services. In addition to these loss contracts, we have one remaining extended scope contract in our Vølund & Other Renewables segment which turned into a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2019.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $0.1 million and $(4.1) million in net gains (losses), respectively, resulting from changes in the estimated revenues and costs to complete the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts. In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not change our estimate of liquidated damages on these contracts. Total anticipated liquidated damages associated with these six contracts were $86.5 million and $88.6 million at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

£70 million ($91.5 million) on April 5, 2019 in exchange for limiting and further defining our obligations under the second and fifth loss contracts, including waiver of the rejection and termination rights on the fifth loss contract that could have resulted in repayment of all monies paid to us and our former civil construction partner (up to approximately $144 million), and requirement to restore the property to its original state if the customer exercised this contractual rejection right. On the fifth loss contract, we agreed to continue to support construction services to complete certain key systems of the plant by May 31, 2019, for which penalty for failure to complete these systems is limited to the unspent portion of our quoted cost of the activities through that date. The settlement eliminated all historical claims and remaining liquidated damages. In accordance with the settlement, we have no further obligation related to the fifth loss contract other than customary warranty of core products if the plant is used as a biomass plant as designed. We estimated the portion of this settlement related to waiver of the rejection right on the fifth loss contract was $81.1 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a reduction in the selling price. We are still pursuing insurance recoveries and claims against subcontractors. For the second loss contract, the settlement limited the remaining performance obligations and settled historic claims for nonconformance and delays, and we turned over the plant in May 2019, and subsequently began the operations and maintenance contract to operate this plant.

As of March 31, 2020, the status of these six Vølund EPC loss contracts was as follows:

•

The first contract, a waste-to-energy plant in Denmark, became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 99% complete and construction activities are complete as of the date of this report. The unit became operational during the second quarter of 2017. A settlement was reached with the customer to achieve takeover on January 31, 2019, after which only punch list items and other agreed to remediation items remain, most of which are expected to be performed during the customer's scheduled maintenance outages. As of January 31, 2019, the contract is in the warranty phase. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize additional contract losses. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020 includes $8.9 million of total estimated liquidated damages. As of March 31, 2020, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.7 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we did not recognize further charges on the contract. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $3.6 million of accrued losses and was 97% complete.

•

The second contract, a biomass plant in the United Kingdom, became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 100% complete. Trial operations began in April 2019 and takeover by the customer occurred effective May 2019. This project is subject to the March 29, 2019 settlement agreement described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized additional contract losses of $0.1 million on this contract as a result of additional punch list and other commissioning costs. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020 includes $18.7 million of total estimated liquidated damages due to schedule delays. Our estimates at completion as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 also include contractual bonus opportunities for guaranteed higher power output and other performance metrics. As of March 31, 2020, we expect no future charges due to this contract and, accordingly, have no reserve for estimated contract losses. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized contract losses of $0.8 million on this contract as a result of repairs required during startup commissioning activities, additional expected punch list and other commissioning costs, and changes in construction cost estimates. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $1.4 million of accrued losses and was 98% complete.

•

The third contract, a biomass plant in Denmark, became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 100% complete. Warranty began in March 2018, when we agreed to a partial takeover with the customer, and we agreed to a full takeover by the customer at the end of October 2018, when we also agreed to a scheduled timeline for remaining punch list activities to be completed around the customer's future planned outages. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize additional contract losses. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020 includes $6.6 million of total estimated liquidated damages due to schedule delays. As of March 31, 2020, we expect no future charges due to this contract and, accordingly, we have no reserve for estimated contract losses. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we did not recognize additional contract losses. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $0.3 million of accrued losses and was 99% complete.

•

The fourth contract, a biomass plant in the United Kingdom, became a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 100% complete. Trial operations began in November 2018 and takeover by the customer occurred in February 2019, after which only final performance testing, for which performance metrics have been previously demonstrated, and punch list and other agreed upon items remain, some of which are expected to be performed during the customer's scheduled maintenance outages. During the three

months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized additional contract charges of $0.1 million on this contract due to changes in cost to complete remaining punch list and other close out items. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020 includes $20.4 million of total estimated liquidated damages due to schedule delays. Our estimates at completion as of March 31, 2020 also include contractual bonus opportunities for guaranteed higher power output and other performance metrics. As of March 31, 2020, we expect no future charges due to this contract and, accordingly, we have no reserve for estimated contract losses. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized additional contract losses of $0.3 million on this contract due to changes in estimated cost to complete remaining punch list and other close out items. Our estimates at completion as of March 31, 2019 also include contractual bonus opportunities for guaranteed higher power output. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $0.8 million of accrued losses and was 99% complete.

•

The fifth contract, a biomass plant in the United Kingdom, became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2017. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 99% complete. This project is subject to the March 29, 2019 settlement agreement described above. We estimated the portion of this settlement related to waiver of the rejection right on the fifth loss contract was $81.1 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a reduction in the selling price. Under the settlement, our remaining performance obligations were limited to construction support services to complete certain key systems of the plant by May 31, 2019. The settlement also eliminated all historical claims and remaining liquidated damages. Remaining items at March 31, 2020 are primarily related to punch list and other finalization items for the key systems under the terms of the settlement and subcontract close outs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our estimated loss on the contract improved by $0.3 million. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020, includes $13.3 million of total estimated liquidated damages due to schedule delays. As of March 31, 2020, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized contract losses of $2.3 million due to a change in the estimate for subcontractor close out costs. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $15.8 million of accrued losses and was 90% complete.

•

The sixth contract, a waste-to-energy plant in the United Kingdom, became a loss contract in the second quarter of 2017. As of March 31, 2020, this contract was approximately 99% complete. Trial operations began in December 2018 and customer takeover occurred on January 25, 2019, after which only final performance testing, for which performance metrics have been previously demonstrated, and punch list and other agreed upon items remain, some of which are expected to be performed during the customer's scheduled maintenance outages. The contract is in the warranty phase. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize additional contract losses. Our estimate at completion as of March 31, 2020 includes $18.7 million of total estimated liquidated damages due to schedule delays. As of March 31, 2020, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.2 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we revised our revenue and costs at completion for this contract, which resulted in additional contract losses of $0.8 million related to matters encountered in completing punch list items. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had $0.6 million of accrued losses and was 98% complete.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, one of our other Vølund renewable energy contracts turned into a loss contract (estimated loss of $0.2 million) due to the extension of time and other start-up costs associated with the completion of the trial operations run and turnover to the client. This contract was turned over to the client in October 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize additional contract losses and during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized additional charges of $0.2 million on this contract.

In September 2017, we identified the failure of a structural steel beam on the fifth contract, which stopped work in the boiler building and other areas pending corrective actions to stabilize the structure. Provisional regulatory approval to begin structural repairs to the failed beam was obtained on March 29, 2018 (later than previously estimated), and full approval to proceed with repairs was obtained in April 2018. Full access to the site was obtained on June 6, 2018 after completion of the repairs to the structure. The engineering, design and manufacturing of the steel structure were the responsibility of our subcontractors. A similar design was also used on the second and fourth contracts, and although no structural failure occurred on these two other contracts, work was also stopped in certain restricted areas while we added reinforcement to the structures, which also resulted in delays that lasted until late January 2018. The total costs related to the structural steel issues on these three contracts, including contract delays, are estimated to be approximately $36 million, which is included in the March 31, 2020 estimated losses at completion for these three contracts. We are continuing to aggressively pursue recovery of this cost under various applicable insurance policies and from responsible subcontractors. In June 2019, we agreed in principle to a settlement agreement under one insurance policy related to recover GBP 2.8 million ($3.5 million) of certain losses on the fifth project; which our insurer paid us in September 2019.

The Company is continuing to pursue other potential insurance recoveries and claims where appropriate and available.

Other Vølund Contract Settlement

In March 2019, we entered into a settlement in connection with an additional European waste-to-energy EPC contract, for which notice to proceed was not given and the contract was not started. We made a payment of £5.0 million (approximately $6.6 million) on April 5, 2019 for the settlement which eliminated our obligations to act, and our risk related to acting, as the prime EPC should the project have moved forward.

SPIG's Loss Contracts

At March 31, 2020, SPIG had two significant loss contracts, each of which are contracts for a dry cooling system for a gas-fired power plant in the United States. In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not recognize additional charges on these contracts.

At March 31, 2020, the design and procurement are substantially complete, and construction is nearing completion on the first loss contract. Overall, the contract is approximately 100% complete with only performance testing remaining which will be complete in the third quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2020, we have no reserve for estimated contract losses. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had accrued losses of $2.0 million and was 86% complete. Construction is being performed by the Babcock & Wilcox segment, but the contract loss is included in the SPIG segment.

At March 31, 2020, the design and procurement are nearing completion on the second loss contract. Overall, the contract is approximately 89% complete and final completion is expected to be in the third quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the reserve for estimated contract losses recorded in other accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.8 million related to this contract. As of March 31, 2019, this contract had accrued losses of $0.1 million and was 97% complete. The percent completion declined at March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to an increase in additional contract charges of $3.3 million recognized in late 2019 due to issues with the seismic design and fans.

Balance at December 31, 2019	$	47,160
Currency translation adjustments	(199		)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	46,961

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when impairment indicators exist. All of our remaining goodwill is related to the Babcock & Wilcox reporting unit and the Babcock & Wilcox Construction Company reporting unit, which are both included in the Babcock & Wilcox segment.

In the first quarter of 2020, our share price declined significantly, which we considered to be a triggering event for an interim goodwill assessment. We primarily attributed the significant decline in our share price to the current macroeconomic conditions and impacts COVID-19 will have on our operations. In the interim test, we compared the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value as required by ASU 2017-04. Fair value was determined using the combination of a discounted cash flow method (income approach) and the guideline public company method (market comparable approach), weighted equally in determining the fair value. The market comparable approach estimates fair value using market multiples of various financial measures compared to a set of comparable public companies. Key Level 3 unobservable inputs in our valuation included cash flows and long-term growth rates reflective of management's forecasted outlook, and discount rates inclusive of risk adjustments consistent with current market conditions. A discount rate of 11.5% and 15.0% was used for the Babcock & Wilcox and Babcock & Wilcox Construction Company reporting units, respectively, which is based on the weighted average cost of capital using guideline public company data, factoring in current market data and company specific risk factors. As a result of the impairment test, no impairment was indicated during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The circumstances leading to the first quarter interim goodwill assessment as described in Note 7 also triggered an evaluation for long-lived assets, including intangible assets. We have performed an ASC 360-10-35 recoverability test of other long-lived assets, including intangible assets for the Vølund and SPIG asset groups. With respect to these asset groups, future cash flows were estimated over the expected remaining life of the assets, and the Company determined that, on an undiscounted basis, expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the asset groups, and no impairment was indicated during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

We accrue estimated expense included in cost of operations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenues on the related contracts, or in the case of a loss contract, the full amount of the estimated warranty costs is accrued when the contract becomes a loss contract. In addition, we record specific provisions or reductions where we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly differ from the accrued estimates. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Accrued restructuring liabilities at March 31, 2020 and 2019 relate primarily to employee termination benefits. Severance payments are expected to extend through the end of 2020.

NOTE 12 – PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) included in net income (loss) are as follows:



	Pension Benefits						Other Benefits

⁽¹⁾	Benefit plans, net, which is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, is not allocated to the segments.


⁽²⁾	Service cost related to a small group of active participants is presented within cost of operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and is allocated to the Babcock & Wilcox segment.

Recognized net actuarial (gain) loss consists primarily of our reported actuarial (gain) loss, curtailments, settlements, and the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets. There were no mark to market ("MTM") adjustments for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and a $0.4 million loss in the three months ended March 31, 2019. We have excluded the recognized net actuarial (gain) loss from our reportable segments and such amount has been reflected in Note 3 as the MTM loss from benefit plans in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for each segment to consolidated loss before income tax. The recognized net actuarial (gain) loss was recorded in benefit plans, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Lump sum payments from our Canadian Plans resulted in an immaterial plan settlement gain during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The settlement also triggered an interim MTM remeasurement of the Canadian Plan's assets and liabilities that was a loss of $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Both the settlement gain and the MTM remeasurement are reflected in the "Recognized net actuarial loss (gain)" in the table above and are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the benefit plans, net line item.

We made contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans totaling $0.4 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expected employer contributions to trusts of defined benefit plans above assume that relief is granted under U.S. pension contribution waivers, which would defer minimum pension contributions for approximately one year to then be repaid over a five-year period. Related to the 2018 Plan year, we filed a request for waiver with the IRS in January 2019 and obtained a letter on August 27, 2019 that the waiver request had been approved subject to certain conditions. We filed a waiver request with the IRS on March 12, 2020 related to the 2019 Plan year. The Company was initially required to resume quarterly contributions on April 15, 2020 equal to the required quarterly contributions to the Plan. If the temporary hardship waiver for the 2019 Plan year is not fully granted, required minimum employer pension contributions could increase by approximately $25.0 million, for total pension and other postretirement

benefit funding of approximately $46.0 million or greater in 2020, plus interest and, if assessed, penalties. The total funding contributions of $46.0 million estimated for 2020 includes $1.1 million for the 2018 Plan year, $23.7 million for the 2019 Plan year, $16.5 million for the 2020 Plan year and $4.5 million related to other non-qualified pension plans, non-U.S. pension plans and other postretirement benefits plans. The Company cannot make any assurances that such waiver will be granted.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law and among other things, provides deferral of certain U.S. pension plan contributions until January 1, 2021. We elected to defer the contribution payment of $5.5 million for the 2020 Plan year that would have been made on April 15, 2020.

NOTE 13 – REVOLVING DEBT

Our revolving debt is comprised of a revolving credit facility in the U.S. with balances of $185.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and $179.0 million as of December 31, 2019.

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

On May 11, 2015, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders in connection with our spin-off from The Babcock & Wilcox Company (now BWX Technologies, Inc. or "BWXT") which governs the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the Last Out Term Loans. Since June 2016, we have entered into a number of waivers and amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, including several to avoid default under the financial and other covenants specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $330.3 million, (reduced to $326.9 million in April 2020 as a result of the settlement of escrow funds related to the sales of MEGTEC and Universal) as amended and adjusted for completed asset sales. The proceeds from loans under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and the full amount is available to support the issuance of letters of credit, subject to the limits specified in the agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, in connection with Amendment No. 16, we have accrued deferred ticking fee costs of $6.7 million due to certain required actions that were not completed by December 15, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility consisted of $185.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 8.92%. Usage under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility consisted of $185.0 million of revolving loan borrowings, $25.5 million of financial letters of credit and $97.6 million of performance letters of credit. At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $22.2 million available to meet letter of credit requirements based on our overall facility size, of which $20.0 million was available for additional borrowings under our sublimit.

On May 14, we entered into an agreement amending and restating the Amended Credit Agreement, as more fully described in Note 23. On May 14, B. Riley provided the B. Riley Guaranty of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, as more fully described in Note 23.

Backstop Commitment Letter

On January 31, 2020, the Company also entered into a letter agreement with B. Riley (the "Backstop Commitment Letter"), a related party, pursuant to which B. Riley agreed to fund any shortfall in the $200.0 million of new debt or equity financing required as part of the terms of the refinancing to the extent such amounts have not been raised from third parties and convert, or cause its applicable affiliates to convert, term loans into equity to the extent necessary to comply with the indebtedness limit of $275.0 million if the Company was unable to secure third parties to fund a sufficient amount of financing through the issuance of equity. In connection with the Company's entry into the A&R Credit Agreement (including B. Riley's commitment to provide the Company with up to $70.0 million of additional Last Out Term Loans), the B. Riley Guaranty, and the related transactions, the Company and B. Riley agreed to terminate the Backstop Commitment Letter, which letter was intended to support the Company’s efforts to refinance its existing indebtedness. See Note 23 for further details.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees opened outside of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $82.1 million and $88.5 million, respectively. The aggregate value of the letters of credit provided by the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $31.1 million as of March 31, 2020. Of the letters of credit issued under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, $33.8 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation.

We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain contracts. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. These bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity. As of March 31, 2020, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $220.1 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit provided by the U.S. Revolving Credit facility backstopping surety bonds was $22.7 million.

Our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient capacity under our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility is essential to allow us to support the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds. Without sufficient capacity, our ability to support contract security requirements in the future will be diminished.

⁽¹⁾Tranche A-3 proceeds represent the net proceeds after the $39.7 million principal prepayment of the tranche as of July 23, 2019, the date of the Equitization Transactions.

Last Out Term Loans are incurred under our A&R Credit Agreement and are pari passu with the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility except for certain payment subordination provisions. The Last Out Term Loans are subject to the same representations and warranties, covenants and events of default as the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with Amendment No. 16 of the Amended Credit Agreement, the maturity date for all Last Out Term Loans was extended to December 31, 2020 and was further extended to December 30, 2022 upon the effectiveness of the A&R Credit Agreement.

The total effective interest rate of Tranche A-3 was 20.7% on March 31, 2020. The total effective interest rate of Tranche A-4 was 12.0% on March 31, 2020. The interest rate on the Last Out Term Loans under the A&R Credit Agreement is a fixed rate per annum of 12.0%. Interest expense associated with the Last Out Term Loans is detailed in Note 15.

Tranche A-1

We borrowed $30.0 million of net proceeds under Tranche A-1 of the Last Out Term Loans from B. Riley, a related party, in September and October of 2018. In November 2018, Tranche A-1 was assigned to Vintage, also a related party. As part of the Equitization Transactions in July 2019, the outstanding principal of Tranche A-1 of the Last Out Term Loans including accrued paid-in-kind interest remaining as of March 31, 2019 was exchanged for shares of common stock.

Tranche A-2

We borrowed $10.0 million of net proceeds under Tranche A-2 of Last Out Term Loans from B. Riley, a related party in March 2019. Tranche A-2 was fully repaid on July 23, 2019 with proceeds from the 2019 Rights Offering as part of the Equitization Transactions in July 2019.

Tranche A-3

Under Amendment No. 16 to our Amended Credit Agreement, we borrowed $150.0 million face value from B. Riley, a related party, under a Tranche A-3 of Last Out Term Loans. The $141.4 million net proceeds from Tranche A-3 were primarily used to pay the amounts due under the settlement agreements covering certain European Vølund loss projects as described in Note 4, with the remainder used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Interest rates for Tranche A-3 are described above. Tranche A-3 may be prepaid, subject to the subordination provisions under the Amended Credit Agreement as described above, but not re-borrowed. As part of the Equitization Transactions, the total prepayment of principal of Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans was $39.7 million. The Tranche A-3 maturity date was previously extended to December 31, 2020 and was extended to December 30, 2022 upon the effectiveness of the A&R Credit Agreement.

Tranche A-4

On January 31, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 20 to the Amended Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 20 provides $30.0 million of additional commitments from B. Riley, a related party, under a new Tranche A-4 of Last Out Term Loans. The proceeds from Tranche A-4 may be used under the terms of Amendment No. 20 to repay revolving credit loans, for working capital and general corporate purposes, and to reimburse certain expenses of B. Riley as specified by Amendment No. 20. The terms of Tranche A-4 are the same as the terms for the Tranche A-3 under the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of January 31, 2020, we borrowed $30.0 million face value of the Tranche A-4 and received net proceeds of $26.3 million after incurring total fees of $3.7 million related to Amendment No, 20 described above. The Tranche A-4 maturity date was previously extended to December 31, 2020 and was further extended to December 30, 2022 upon the effectiveness of the A&R Credit Agreement.

Tranche A-5

On January 31, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 20 to the Amended Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 20 provides an incremental Tranche A-5 of Last Out Term Loans to be extended prior to maturity of the Last Out Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement in the event certain customer letters of credit are drawn. The terms of Tranche A-5 are the same as the terms for the Tranche A-3 under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of May 15, 2020, no borrowings have occurred under Tranche A-5.

Tranche A-6

The A&R Credit Agreement provided us with up to $65 million of additional funding in the form of Tranche A-6 Last Out Term Loans from B. Riley, a related party, as more fully described in Note 23. An aggregate $30 million of this new commitment was funded upon execution of the A&R Credit Agreement. The $35 million remaining will be funded in installments, subject to reduction for the gross proceeds from certain equity offerings conducted by the Company.

On May 14, 2020, we borrowed $30 million face value of the Tranche A-6 and received gross proceeds of $30 million related to the A&R Credit Agreement that is more fully described in Note 23. The Tranche A-6 maturity date is December 30, 2022.

Tranche A-7

The A&R Credit Agreement provided us with up to $5 million of additional funding in the form of Tranche A-7 Last Out Term Loans from B. Riley, a related party, as more fully described in Note 23. The $5 million will be available upon request by the Company, subject to certain limitations. As of May 15, 2020, no borrowings have occurred under Tranche A-7. The Tranche A-7 maturity date is December 30, 2022.

NOTE 16 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, income tax benefit was $0.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.4%.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, income tax expense was $0.6 million, with an effective tax rate of (1.3)%.

We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%. The most significant of these foreign operations are located in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, and the United Kingdom with statutory tax rates ranging between 19% and approximately 30%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations. These jurisdictions have tax regimes that vary with respect to both nominal rates and the basis on which those rates are applied. Our consolidated effective income tax rate can vary significantly from period to period due to these variations, changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income, and valuation allowances recognized in jurisdictions that have a net deferred tax asset balance.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. In jurisdictions where we have available net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), such as the U.S., Denmark and Italy, the existence of tax expense primarily reflects withholding taxes or state and local income taxes in state taxing regimes which impose a taxable income limitation. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we separately allocated $0.6 million of income tax expense to income from discontinued operations due to the intraperiod allocation rules of ASC 740-20-45-7. Our income tax expense (benefit) also reflects changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and losses. In other profitable jurisdictions, however, we may record income tax expense, even though we have established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. We have favorable discrete items of $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the CARES Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes modifications to the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") intended to provide economic relief to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; however, these benefits do not significantly impact the Company's tax provision.

NOTE 17 – CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Relating to Boiler Installation and Supply Contract

On December 27, 2019, a complaint was filed against Babcock & Wilcox by P.H. Glatfelter Company (“Glatfelter”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 1:19-cv-02215-JPW, alleging claims of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the “Glatfelter Litigation”). The complaint alleges damages in excess of $58.9 million. We are evaluating Glatfelter’s claims as well as potential counter claims against Glatfelter and intend to vigorously defend against the action. However, given the preliminary stage of the litigation, it is too early to determine if the outcome of the Glatfelter Litigation will have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

SEC Investigation

The U.S. SEC is conducting a formal investigation of the Company, focusing on the accounting charges and related matters involving the Company's Vølund and Other Renewable segment from 2015-2019. The SEC has served multiple subpoenas on the Company for documents. The Company is cooperating with the SEC related to the subpoenas and investigation. The Company is still in the process of producing documents to the SEC. In addition, the SEC has taken testimony from past and current officers and directors and has requested additional testimony from present and former employees. It is reasonably possible that the SEC may bring one or more claims against the Company and certain individuals. Due to the stage of the investigation, we are unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential loss of any claim. However, there can be no assurance that such claims will not have a material impact on the Company.

Subsequent Event - Stockholder Derivative and Class Action Litigation

On April 14, 2020, a putative B&W stockholder (“Plaintiff”) filed a derivative and class action complaint against certain of the Company’s directors (current and former), executives and significant stockholders (“Defendants”) and the Company (as a nominal defendant). The action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and is captioned Parker v. Avril, et al., C.A. No. 2020-0280-PAF. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants, among other things, did not properly discharge their fiduciary duties in connection with the 2019 rights offering and related transactions. The Company is evaluating Plaintiff’s claims and intends to vigorously defend against the action.

Other

Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things: performance or warranty-related matters under our customer and supplier contracts and other business arrangements; and workers' compensation, premises liability and other claims. Based on our prior experience, we do not expect that any of these other litigation proceedings, disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value, all of which were valued from readily available prices or using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets (known as "Level 1" and "Level 2" inputs, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy established by the FASB Topic, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).

Total fair value of available-for-sale securities	$	12,765	$	12,178	$	587

Available-For-Sale Securities

Our investments in available-for-sale securities are presented in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0-6 years.

Derivatives

Derivative assets and liabilities usually consist of FX forward contracts. Where applicable, the value of these derivative assets and liabilities is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including FX forward and spot rates, interest rates and counterparty performance risk adjustments. As of March 31, 2020, we do not hold any derivative assets or liabilities; the last of our derivative contracts were sold during the first quarter of 2019.

Other Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments:


•	Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts that we have reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their highly liquid nature.

•

Revolving debt and Last Out Term Loans. We base the fair values of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values on Level 2 inputs such as the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. The fair value of our debt instruments approximated their carrying value at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


•	Warrants. The fair value of the warrants was established using the Black-Scholes option pricing model value approach.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The measurement of the net actuarial gain or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans was determined using unobservable inputs (see Note 12). These inputs included the estimated discount rate, expected return on plan assets and other actuarial inputs associated with the plan participants.

Tests for impairment annually and when impairment indicators exist require significant fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (see Note 7). The fair values of the reporting units were based on an income approach using a discounted cash flow analysis, a market approach using multiples of revenue and EBITDA of guideline companies, and a market approach using multiples of revenue and EBITDA from recent, similar business combinations.

Property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible asset amounts are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on an income approach using a discounted cash flow analysis or based on the price that the Company expects to receive upon the sale of these assets. Both of those approaches utilize unobservable inputs (see Note 8 and Note 6).

NOTE 20 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Letter Agreement entered into on April 5, 2019, pursuant to which the parties agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to effect a series of equitization transactions for a portion of the Last Out Term Loans, between B. Riley, Vintage and the Company included agreement to negotiate one or more agreements that provide B. Riley and Vintage with certain governance rights, including (i) the right for B. Riley and Vintage to each nominate up to three individuals to serve on our board of directors, subject to certain continued lending and equity ownership thresholds and (ii) pre-emptive rights permitting B. Riley to participate in future issuances of our equity securities. On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with B. Riley and Vintage providing the governance rights contemplated by the Letter Agreement. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley and Vintage on April 30, 2019 providing each with certain customary registration rights for the shares of our common stock that they hold.

Transactions with B. Riley

Based on its Schedule 13D filings, B. Riley beneficially owns 17.8% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2020.

B. Riley is party to the Last Out Term Loans as described in Note 14. B. Riley has also provided the B. Riley Guaranty as more fully described in Note 23.

We entered into an agreement with BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC, an affiliate of B. Riley, on November 19, 2018 for the services of Mr. Kenny Young, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer until November 30, 2020, unless terminated by either party with thirty days written notice. Under this agreement, payments are $0.75 million per annum, paid monthly. Subject to the achievement of certain performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, a bonus or bonuses may also be earned and payable to BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC. In June 2019, we granted a total of $2.0 million in cash bonuses to BRPI Executive Consulting LLC for Mr. Young's performance and services.

Total fees associated with B. Riley related to the Last Out Term Loans and services of Mr. Kenny Young, both as described above, were $4.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Refer to Note 23 for additional related party transactions with B. Riley and its affiliates subsequent to March 31, 2020.

Transactions with Vintage Capital Management, LLC

Based on its Schedule 13D filings, Vintage beneficially owns 33.9% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2020.

NOTE 21 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Assets Held for Sale

In December 2019, we determined that a small business within the Babcock & Wilcox segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities held for sale are required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. At March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the assets held for sale approximated the estimated fair value less costs to sell, therefore an impairment charge was not recorded. The divestiture of the business held for sale could result in a gain or loss on sale to the extent the ultimate selling price differs from the current carrying value of the net assets recorded. The sale is expected to occur in 2020.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019

NOTE 22 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We adopted the following new accounting standard during the first quarter of 2020:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The new guidance requires companies acting as the customer in a cloud hosting service arrangement to follow the requirements of ASC 350-40 for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software and requires the amortization of these costs over the life of the related service contract. The impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

New accounting standards not yet adopted that could affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform of Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities upon issuance and may be adopted any date on or after March 12, 2020 up to December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions related to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, certain deferred tax liabilities, and the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. The amendment also provides simplification related to accounting for franchise (or similar) tax, evaluating the tax basis step up of goodwill, allocation of consolidated current and deferred tax expense, reflection of the impact of enacted tax law or rate changes in annual effective tax rate calculations in the interim period that includes enactment date, and other minor codification improvements. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This update is an amendment to the new credit losses standard, ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that was issued in June 2016 and clarifies that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of Topic 326. The new credit losses standard changes the accounting for credit losses for certain instruments. The new measurement approach is based on expected losses, commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases, and reinsurance and trade receivables, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The standard also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The provisions of this standard will primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, contracts in progress, and potentially our impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities (to the extent we have any upon adoption). For public, smaller reporting companies, this standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of both standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 23 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

COVID-19 Response

As part of the Company’s recent response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company is taking certain cash conservation and cost reduction measures announced in April 2020. These measures include temporary payroll reductions and unpaid furloughs for certain employees, suspending the Company's 401(k) match for U.S. employees for the remainder of 2020, temporarily deferring the monthly fee paid to BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC for the services of our Chief Executive Officer by 50%, and deferrals of the base salaries of our Chief Strategy Officer by 50%, Chief Financial Officer by 30% and our Senior Vice President of The Babcock & Wilcox Company by 30%. The Company’s Board also approved a temporary deferral of 50% of the cash compensation payable to non-employee directors under the Company’s board compensation program to be paid during the first quarter of 2021. The Company has also negotiated or is in the process of negotiating temporary rent payment deferrals related to leased facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Italy and Denmark and is exploring options for government loans and programs in the U.S. and abroad that would be appropriate and available.

The Company continues to analyze its cost structure and may implement additional cost reduction measures as may be necessary due to the on-going economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Debt Refinancing

Entry into A&R Credit Agreement

On May 14, 2020, we entered into an agreement with our lenders amending and restating the Amended Credit Agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement refinances and extends the maturity of our revolving credit facility and Last Out Term Loans.

Under the A&R Credit Agreement, B. Riley has committed to provide the Company with up to $70.0 million of additional Last Out Term Loans on the same terms as the term loans extended under the Amended Credit Agreement. An aggregate $30.0 million of this new commitment was funded upon execution of the A&R Credit Agreement. Of the remaining commitments, at least $35.0 million will be funded in installments, subject to reduction for the gross proceeds from certain equity offerings conducted by the Company, and $5.0 million will be funded upon request by the Company. The proceeds from the $30.0 million of new term loans will be used to pay transaction fees and expenses and repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility governed by the A&R Credit Agreement (the "revolving credit facility"). Proceeds from the additional $40.0 million of term loans will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, with any remaining amounts used for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

The A&R Credit Agreement also provides that, (i) the revolving credit facility continues to be available for issuances of existing and new letters of credit, subject to the L/C Sublimit (as defined below), (ii) the $205 million sublimit on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is maintained, and (iii) interest payments on the unpaid principal amount of revolving credit loans incurred during the period from May 14, 2020 through and including August 31, 2020 are deferred and will be paid in six equal installments on the last business day of each calendar month beginning on January 29, 2021 and through June 30, 2021. No swing line borrowings are permitted under the A&R Credit Agreement.

The A&R Credit Agreement also amends the following terms, among others, as compared with the Amended Credit Agreement:


(i)	the maturity date of the revolving credit facility will be extended to June 30, 2022, and the maturity date of all Last Out Term Loans under the A&R Credit Agreement will be extended to December 30, 2022 (six months after the maturity date of the revolving credit facility);


(ii)	the interest rate for loans under the revolving credit facility will be reduced to LIBOR plus 7.0% or base rate (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) plus 6.0%. These margins will be reduced by 2.0% if commitments under the revolving credit facility are reduced to less than $200.0 million. The fee for letters of credit will be set at 4.0%;


(iii)	the interest rate for all Last Out Term Loans will be set at 12.0%;


(iv)	the commitments under the revolving credit facility will automatically and permanently decrease in the following amounts on the following dates, which match the funding dates and amounts for the committed term loans: (x) $10.0 million on November 30, 2020; and (y) $5.0 million on each of March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively;


(v)	the amount of revolving loans and letters of credit available in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be capped at $125.0 million through April 30, 2021 and step down to $110.0 million on May 1, 2021; and


(vi)	the amount of financial letters of credit will be capped at $75.0 million, and the amount of all letters of credit will be capped at $190.0 million through April 30, 2021 and step down to $175.0 million on May 1, 2021 (the “L/C Sublimit”).

Affirmative and negative covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement are substantially consistent with the Amended Credit Agreement, except that, among other changes: (i) the indebtedness covenant has been modified to permit the incurrence of any governmental assistance in the form of indebtedness in connection with COVID-19 relief in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0 million; (ii) a third-party letter of credit basket of up to $50.0 million has been added; (iii) certain liens and restricted payments are modified to permit liens and repayments of indebtedness incurred in connection with governmental assistance in connection with COVID-19 relief; and (iv) covenants related to the European Vølund EPC loss projects have been removed. The minimum required liquidity condition of $30.0 million remains constant, but has been modified to exclude cash of non-loan parties in an amount in excess of $25.0 million. Certain financial covenant testing has been suspended through September 30, 2020, with the Company and the Administrative Agent having agreed to renegotiate such covenant levels and related definitions prior to October 31, 2020.

Events of default under the A&R Credit Agreement are substantially consistent with the Amended Credit Agreement, except that: (i) B. Riley’s failure to fund any of its additional Last Out Term Loans committed under the A&R Credit Agreement will constitute an event of default; and (ii) the failure to renegotiate and set certain financial covenant testing levels and related definitions prior to October 31, 2020 will constitute an event of default.

In connection with the A&R Credit Agreement, the Company will incur certain customary amendment and commitment fees, a portion of which will be deferred pursuant to the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement along with certain previously deferred fees incurred under the Amended Credit Agreement.

B. Riley Limited Guaranty

In connection with the Company’s entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, B. Riley has agreed to enter into the B. Riley Guaranty for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the lenders under the revolving credit facility. The B. Riley Guaranty provides for the guarantee of all of the Company’s obligations with respect to the revolving credit facility (other than with respect to letters of credit and contingent obligations), including the obligation to repay outstanding revolving credit loans and pay earned interest and fees. The B. Riley Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others: (i) B. Riley’s failure to timely fund in full any of its additional Last Out Term Loans committed under the A&R Credit Agreement; (ii) certain events of default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency occurring with respect to B. Riley; (iii) the acceleration of the Company’s borrowings under the revolving credit facility; (iv) the Company’s failure to pay any amount due to the Administrative Agent or any lender under the revolving credit facility; or (v) any assertion that the B. Riley Guaranty or any portion thereof is not valid, binding or enforceable.

In connection with the B. Riley Guaranty, the Company entered into a fee letter with B. Riley pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay B. Riley a fee of $3.9 million (the “B. Riley Guaranty Fee”).

Fee and Interest Equitization Agreement

In connection with the B. Riley Guaranty, the Company entered into a Fee and Interest Equitization Agreement (the “Equitization Agreement”) with B. Riley and, solely for certain limited purposes under the Equitization Agreement, B. Riley FBR, Inc.

Payments, the “Equitized Fees and Interest Payments”), B. Riley will receive shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”).

Under the Equitization Agreement, B. Riley will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the aggregate dollar value of the Equitized Fees and Interest Payments divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. For purposes of the Equitization Agreement, the “Conversion Price” means the average volume weighted average price of the common stock over 15 consecutive trading days beginning on and including May 15, 2020 (the “Measurement Period”), subject to customary adjustments. For purposes of the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the Equitization Agreement sets a minimum for the Conversion Price of $1.55 per share of common stock, unless and until approval is obtained from the Company’s stockholders under the rules of the NYSE.

The Company is required under the Equitization Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions to obtain any necessary stockholder approval under the rules of the NYSE for the issuance of the Shares. B. Riley has agreed to cause all shares of common stock beneficially owned by B. Riley to be voted in favor of any proposal presented to the Company’s stockholders seeking approval of the issuance of shares pursuant to the Equitization Agreement.

The issuance of shares pursuant to the Equitization Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions including approval for listing of the shares on the NYSE. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, shares will be issued to B. Riley, in the case of the Equitized Fee Payment, on the first business day following the Measurement Period, and in the case of Equitized Interest Payments, on the scheduled interest payment dates as provided by the A&R Credit Agreement without giving effect to any waiver or deferral contemplated thereby.

To the extent that the Company is unable to issue any shares to B. Riley pursuant to the Equitization Agreement due to the failure to have obtained the required stockholder approval as a result of the Conversion Price not being at least $1.55, the unpaid portion of the Equitized Fees and Interest Payments will be paid in cash at the Last Out Term Loan maturity date under the A&R Credit Agreement.

Termination of Backstop Commitment Letter

As part of the entry into the A&R Credit Agreement and the related transactions, the Company, B. Riley and the Administrative Agent agreed to terminate the backstop commitment letter provided by B. Riley on January 31, 2020 in connection with Amendment No. 20 to the Amended Credit Agreement.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

the Company's headquarters and the headquarters of the Babcock & Wilcox segment in Akron, Ohio, the headquarters of the Vølund & Other Renewable segment in Denmark and the headquarters of the SPIG segment in Italy (among other locations where the Company and its customers, vendors and suppliers operate) are currently subject to lock-down or shelter-in-place orders under local ordinances, with employees continuing to work remotely if possible. While some employees can work remotely, many customers and projects require B&W's employees to travel to customer and project worksites. Certain customers and significant projects are located in areas where travel restrictions have been imposed, certain customers have closed or reduced on-site activities, and timelines for completion of certain projects have also been extended into next year. Additionally, out of concern for our employees, those who are uncomfortable returning to worksites due to the pandemic are not required to do so. The resulting uncertainty concerning, among other things, the spread and economic impact of the virus has also caused significant volatility and, at times, illiquidity in global equity and credit markets.

We recorded operating losses of $10.3 million and $32.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively and we showed improved results in our Babcock & Wilcox and Vølund & Other Renewable segments.

Our Babcock & Wilcox segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $10.7 million and $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. This improvement is primarily attributable to higher parts margins and the benefits of cost savings from restructuring initiatives that we began to implement in 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment was $(3.3) million and $(8.8) million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded no additional costs related to the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts as compared to $4.1 million, in net losses recorded for the first quarter of 2019. Aside from these loss projects, we have one remaining extended scope contract in our Vølund & Other Renewable business which turned into a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2019 due to an increase in estimate to complete; this contract was turned over to the customer in October 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, five of the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts had been turned over to the customer, with only punch list or agreed remediation items and performance testing remaining, some of which are expected to be performed during the customers' scheduled maintenance outages. Turnover is not applicable to the fifth loss contract under the terms of the March 29, 2019 settlement agreement with the customers of the second and fifth loss contracts, who are related parties to each other. Under that settlement agreement, we limited our remaining risk related to these contracts by paying a combined £70 million ($91.5 million) on April 5, 2019 in exchange for limiting and further defining our obligations under the second and fifth loss contracts, including waiver of the rejection and termination rights on the fifth loss contract that could have resulted in repayment of all monies paid to us and our former civil construction partner (up to approximately $144 million), and requirement to restore the property to its original state if the customer exercised this contractual rejection right. On the fifth loss contract, we agreed to continue to support construction services to complete certain key systems of the plant by May 31, 2019, for which penalty for failure to complete these systems is limited to the unspent portion of our quoted cost of the activities through that date. The settlement eliminated all historical claims and remaining liquidated damages. In accordance with the settlement, we have no further obligation related to the fifth loss contract other than customary warranty of core products if the plant is used as a biomass plant as designed. We estimated the portion of this settlement related to waiver of the rejection right on the fifth loss contract was $81.1 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a reduction in the selling price. We are still pursuing insurance recoveries and claims against subcontractors. For the second loss contract, the settlement limited the remaining performance obligations and settled historic claims for nonconformance and delays, and we turned over the plant in May 2019, and subsequently began the operations and maintenance contract to operate this plant. See further discussion of the loss projects in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The SPIG segment included operating results of $(1.2) million and $0.7 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decline is due to selective bidding in core geographies and products and focus on profitability. At March 31, 2020, SPIG had significant loss contracts. The first loss contract is a contract to engineer, procure materials and then construct a dry cooling system for a gas-fired power plant in the United States, which continued through the three months ended March 31, 2020. Final completion of the first loss contract is expected to be in the third quarter of 2020. The second loss contract is a contract to engineer and procure materials for a dry cooling system for a gas-fired power plant in the United States, which continued through the three months ended March 31, 2020. Final completion of the second loss contract is expected to be in the third quarter of 2020. SPIG's two significant loss contracts, as disclosed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, generated revenues of $0.8 million and $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We have manufacturing facilities in Mexico, China, Unites States, Denmark and Scotland. Many aspects of our operations and properties could be affected by political developments, environmental regulations and operating risks. These and other factors may have a material impact on our international and domestic operations or our business as a whole.

Through our restructuring efforts, we continue to make significant progress to make our cost structure more variable and to reduce costs. We expect our cost-savings measures to continue to translate to bottom-line results, with top-line growth driven by opportunities for our core technologies and support services across the Babcock & Wilcox, Vølund and Other Renewable, and SPIG segments globally.

We have identified additional initiatives that are underway as of the date of this filing that are expected to further reduce costs, and we expect to continue to explore other cost saving initiatives to improve cash generation and evaluate additional non-core asset sales to continue to strengthen our liquidity. There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate.

Year-over-year comparisons of our results from continuing operations were also affected by:


•	$2.0 million and $6.1 million of restructuring and spin-off costs were recognized in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The restructuring costs primarily related to severance in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.


•	$0.9 million and $4.0 million of financial advisory service fees were recorded in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are required under our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. Financial advisory service fees are included in advisory fees and settlement costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

•

$6.6 million of settlement cost was recognized in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with an additional European waste-to-energy EPC contract, for which notice to proceed was not given and the contract was not started and is included in advisory fees and settlement costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The settlement limits our obligations to our core scope activities and eliminates risk related to acting as the prime EPC should the project have moved forward.

•

$2.6 million and $3.1 million of legal and other advisory fees were recognized in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the contract settlement and for liquidity planning and is included in advisory fees and settlement costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The contract settlement is further described above and in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


•	$2.0 million of accelerated depreciation expense in the first quarter of 2019 for fixed assets affected by our September 2018 announcement to consolidate office space and relocate our global headquarters to Akron, Ohio in December 2019.


•	$0.4 million of actuarially determined mark to market ("MTM") losses on our pension and other post-retirement benefits in the first quarter of 2019. MTM losses are further described in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition to the discussions described above, we continue to evaluate further dispositions, opportunities for additional cost savings and opportunities for insurance recoveries and other claims where appropriate and available. If the value of our business was to decline, or if we were to determine that we were unable to recognize an amount in connection with any proposed disposition in excess of the carrying value of any disposed asset, we may be required to recognize impairments for one or more of our assets that may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues decreased by $83.4 million to $148.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $231.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Revenue in the Babcock & Wilcox segment decreased by $66.6 million primarily due to the completion of several large construction projects that were actively being worked on during the previous quarter. Revenue in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment decreased by $14.2 million partially due to the divestiture of Loibl, a materials handling business in Germany, which contributed $7.2 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2019. Revenue was also lower in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment due to a lower level of EPC project activity partially offset by the startup of two operations and maintenance contracts in the U.K. that followed turnover of the EPC loss contracts to the customers. SPIG segment revenue declined $17.6 million due to selective bidding in core geographies and products and focus on profitability.

Operating losses improved $21.7 million to $(10.3) million in the first quarter of 2020 from $(32.0) million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to higher parts margins in addition to the impacts of costs savings and restructuring initiatives in the Babcock & Wilcox segment and the absence of losses on the EPC loss contracts, lower levels of direct overhead support, warranty expense and SG&A, in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment being partly offset by the divestiture of Loibl in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment and a decline in overall volume and unfavorable product mix in the SPIG segment. Restructuring expenses, advisory fees, amortization expense, gains (losses) on dispositions of equity method investees, and impairments are discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following discussion of our business segment results of operations includes a discussion of adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted gross profit differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Amortization expense is not allocated to the segments’ adjusted gross profit. A reconciliation of operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted gross profit is included in the table below. Management believes that this financial measure is useful to investors because it excludes certain expenses, allowing investors to more easily compare our financial performance period to period.

Babcock & Wilcox Segment Results



	Three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020			2019			$ Change
Revenues	$	121,956		$	188,558		$	(66,602	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	10,654		$	9,089		$	1,565
Adjusted gross profit	$	32,881		$	31,106		$	1,775
Adjusted gross profit %	27.0		%	16.5		%

Revenues in the Babcock & Wilcox segment decreased 35%, or $66.6 million, to $122.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $188.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. The revenue decrease is attributable to the completion of several large construction projects that were actively being worked on during the comparable prior year's quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA in the Babcock & Wilcox segment increased 17%, or $1.6 million, to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, which is mainly attributable to higher parts margins and the results of costs savings and restructuring initiatives partly offset by the decrease in revenue volume as described above.

Adjusted gross profit in the Babcock & Wilcox segment increased $1.8 million to $32.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $31.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, which is mainly attributable to higher parts margins and the results of costs savings and restructuring initiatives partly offset by the decrease in revenue volume as described above.

Vølund & Other Renewable Segment Results



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2020			2019			$ Change
Revenues	$	15,309		$	29,532		$	(14,223	)

Adjusted gross profit (loss)	$	1,458		$	(2,856	)	$	4,314
Adjusted gross profit (loss) %	9.5		%	(9.7		)%

Revenues in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment decreased 48%, or $14.2 million to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. The reduction in revenue partially relates to the divestiture of Loibl, a materials handling business in Germany, that had previously generated annual revenues of approximately $30 million annually and contributed $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. The reduction in revenue was also due to a lower level of EPC project activity partially offset by the startup of two operations and maintenance contracts in the U.K. that followed turnover of the EPC loss contracts to the customers.

Adjusted EBITDA in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment improved $5.5 million to $(3.3) million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $(8.8) million in the first quarter of 2019. The improvement was primarily due to changes in the estimated revenues and costs to complete the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts. In the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, we recorded $0.1 million and $(4.1) million in net gains (losses), respectively. Beyond the effect of the loss contracts, Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 included lower levels of direct overhead support, warranty expense and SG&A, reflecting the benefits of restructuring, partially offset by the divestiture of Loibl as mentioned above.

Adjusted gross profit (loss) in the Vølund & Other Renewable segment increased $4.3 million to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $(2.9) million in the first quarter of 2019. The improvement was primarily driven by no additional costs related to the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts as described in the Adjusted EBITDA section above. Beyond the effect of the loss contracts, adjusted gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 included lower levels of direct overhead support and warranty expense, offset by the absence of adjusted gross profit from Loibl as described above.

SPIG Segment Results



	Three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020			2019			$ Change
Revenues	$	11,337		$	28,902		$	(17,565	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(1,192	)	$	658		$	(1,850	)
Adjusted gross profit	$	921		$	3,676		$	(2,755	)
Adjusted gross profit %	8.1		%	12.7		%

Revenues in the SPIG segment decreased 61%, or $17.6 million, to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily due to selective bidding in core geographies and products and focus on profitability. SPIG's two significant loss contracts, as disclosed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, generated revenues of $0.8 million and $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA in the SPIG segment decreased $1.9 million to $(1.2) million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven by the decrease in revenue volume as described above and lower margins, as well as a $0.7 million settlement on a legacy dry cooling project expected to facilitate the collection of related outstanding receivables, partly offset by lower overhead fixed costs.

Adjusted gross profit in the SPIG segment decreased $2.8 million, to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue volume in addition to the legacy dry cooling project settlement and unfavorable product mix as described above which resulted in lower margins.

Bookings and Backlog

Bookings and backlog are our measure of remaining performance obligations under our sales contracts. It is possible that our methodology for determining bookings and backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.

We generally include expected revenue from contracts in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing the customers to payment for work performed. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and contracts in our backlog may be canceled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. Backlog can vary significantly from period to period, particularly when large new build projects or operations and maintenance contracts are booked because they may be fulfilled over multiple years. Additionally, because we operate globally, our backlog is also affected by changes in foreign currencies each period. We do not include orders of our unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog.

Bookings represent changes to the backlog. Bookings include additions from booking new business, subtractions from customer cancellations or modifications, changes in estimates of liquidated damages that affect selling price and revaluation of backlog denominated in foreign currency. We believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or for periods less than one year is less meaningful than for longer periods, and that shorter-term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a material trend.

⁽¹⁾Vølund & Other Renewable bookings includes the revaluation of backlog denominated in currency other than U.S. dollars. The foreign exchange impact on Vølund & Other Renewable bookings in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Our backlog decline, as expected is primarily driven by the timing of large new build projects in addition to the Company's focus on core technologies and profitability across all segments, as well as resolution of the European EPC loss contracts. Our backlog as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

⁽¹⁾	Vølund & Other Renewable backlog at March 31, 2020, includes $160.0 million related to long-term operation and maintenance contracts for renewable energy plants, with remaining durations extending until 2034. Generally, such contracts have a duration of 10-20 years and include options to extend.

Of the backlog at March 31, 2020, we expect to recognize revenues as follows:

Corporate

Corporate costs in adjusted EBITDA include SG&A expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. These costs include certain executive, compliance, strategic, reporting and legal expenses associated with governance of the total organization and being an SEC registrant. Corporate costs decreased $0.4 million to $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to the benefits of restructuring and discretionary spend reductions.

Advisory Fees and Settlement Costs

Advisory fees and settlement costs decreased by $9.4 million to $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $13.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to settlement costs to exit the fifth Vølund contract in the first quarter of 2019 as described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and a decrease in legal fees related to liquidity planning and pursuit of insurance recoveries.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are related to improving our products through innovations to reduce the cost of our products to make them more competitive and through innovations to reduce performance risk of our products to better meet our and our customers' expectations. Research and development costs unrelated to specific contracts are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses totaled $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from timing of specific research and development efforts.

Restructuring

Restructuring actions across our business units and corporate functions, including executive severances, resulted in $2.0 million and $6.1 million of expense in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Severance expense is recognized over the remaining service periods of affected employees, and as of March 31, 2020, we do not expect additional severance expense to be recognized based on actions taken through that date.

Goodwill Impairment

Also as a result of the current conditions associated with COVID-19, including the adverse impacts on our operations, the company performed an analysis as required by ASC 360-10-35 to assess the recoverability of other long-lived assets in its Vølund and SPIG asset groups. With respect to these asset groups, future cash flows were estimated over the expected remaining life of the assets, and the Company determined that, on an undiscounted basis, expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the asset groups, and no impairment was indicated during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $2.8 million and $6.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We recorded amortization expense of $1.4 million and $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

We recognize benefits from our defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans based on actuarial calculations primarily because our expected return on assets is greater than our service costs. Service cost is low because our plan benefits are frozen except for a small number of hourly participants. Pension benefits were $7.5 million and $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The pension benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2019 excludes a MTM adjustment loss of $0.4 million. Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our pension costs also include MTM adjustments from time to time, as described further in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Interim MTM charges are a result of curtailments or settlements. Any MTM charge or gain should not be considered to be representative of future MTM adjustments as such events are not currently predicted and are in each case subject to market conditions and actuarial assumptions as of the date of the event giving rise to the MTM adjustment.

Other than service cost of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which are related to the small number of hourly participants still accruing benefits within the Babcock & Wilcox segment, pension benefit and MTM adjustments are excluded from the results of our segments. Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.

The costs and funding requirements of our pension and postretirement benefit plans depend on our various assumptions, including estimates of rates of return on benefit-related assets, discount rates for future payment obligations, rates of future cost growth, mortality assumptions and trends for future costs. Variances from these estimates could have a material adverse effect on us. Our policy to recognize these variances annually through MTM accounting could result in volatility in our results of operations, which could be material. The funding obligations for the Company’s pension plans are impacted by the performance of the financial markets, particularly the equity markets, and interest rates. If the financial markets do not provide the long-term returns that are expected, or discount rates increase the present value of liabilities, the Company could be required to make larger contributions.

Foreign Exchange

We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations into United States dollars at current exchange rates, and we translate items in our statement of operations at average exchange rates for the periods presented. We record adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We report foreign currency transaction gains and losses in income.

Foreign exchange was a loss of $9.3 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily related to unhedged intercompany loans denominated in European currencies to fund foreign operations. Foreign exchange losses in 2020 were driven primarily by a strengthening U.S. dollar compared to the underlying European currencies.

Income Taxes



	Three months ended March 31,
(In thousands, except for percentages)	2020			2019			$ Change
Loss before income taxes	$	(34,345	)	$	(49,240	)	$	14,895
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(810	)	$	626		$	(1,436	)
Effective tax rate	2.4		%	(1.3		)%

We operate in numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The most significant of these foreign operations are located in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden and the United Kingdom with statutory tax rates ranging between 19% and approximately 30%. We have also maintained full valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. Changes in valuation allowances may partly or entirely offset any income tax expense or benefit in a given jurisdiction, depending on the deferred tax balance in that jurisdiction. As a result, we expect our effective income tax rate to vary, potentially significantly, from period to period.

Our income tax expense for the first quarter of 2020 reflects a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period for realizability and valuation allowances are recorded when the likelihood to realize those deferred tax assets is not more likely than not. Valuation allowances may be reversed in the future if sufficient positive evidence exists to outweigh the negative evidence under the framework of ASC 740, Income Taxes.

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. In jurisdictions where we have available net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), such as the U.S., Denmark and Italy, the existence of tax expense primarily reflects withholding taxes or state and local income taxes in state taxing regimes which impose a taxable income limitation. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we separately allocated $0.6 million of income tax expense to income from discontinued operations due to the intraperiod allocation rules of ASC 740-20-45-7. Our income tax expense (benefit) also reflects changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and losses.

See Note 16 for an explanation of differences between our effective income tax rate and our statutory rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary liquidity requirements include debt service and working capital needs. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash generated from operations and external sources of financing, including our A&R Credit Agreement (as defined below) that governs the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the last out term loans (the "Last Out Term Loans"), each of which are described below in further detail along with other sources of liquidity.


•	entered into several amendments and waivers to avoid default and improve our liquidity under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement as described in Note 13 and Note 14, the most recent of which were Amendments No. 19, No. 20 and No. 21 dated January 17, 2020, January 31, 2020 and March 27, 2020, respectively;


•	on January 31, 2020, received $30.0 million of additional gross borrowings from B. Riley Financial, Inc. (together with its affiliates, "B. Riley") under a new Tranche A-4 of Last Out Term Loans, as described in in Note 14;


•	on January 31, 2020, received an incremental Tranche A-5 of Last Out Term Loan commitment to be used in the event certain customer letters of credit are drawn, as described in Note 14;


•	on March 12, 2020, filed for waiver of required minimum contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan as described in Note 12, that if granted, would reduce cash funding requirements in 2020 by approximately $25.0 million and would increase contributions over the following five years. The Company cannot make any assurances that such waiver will be granted; and


•	on March 17, 2020, we fully settled the remaining escrow associated with the sale of Palm Beach Resource Recovery Corporation and received $4.5 million in cash.

In addition to the actions taken above, subsequent to March 30, 2020 we have taken the following actions:


•	on April 6, 2020, we fully settled the remaining escrow associated with the sale of the MEGTEC and Universal businesses and received $3.5 million in cash;


•	in April 2020, as part of the Company’s recent response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company has taken the following cash conservation and cost reduction measures which include:

◦temporary payroll reductions and unpaid furloughs for certain employees:


◦	temporarily deferring the monthly fee paid to BRPI Executive Consulting, LLC for the services of our Chief Executive Officer by 50%;


◦	deferrals of the base salaries of our Chief Strategy Officer by 50%, Chief Financial Officer by 30% and our Senior Vice President of The Babcock & Wilcox Company by 30%;

◦suspension of our 401(k) match for U.S. employees for the remainder of 2020;


◦	approval by the Company’s Board for a temporary deferral of 50% of the cash compensation payable to non-employee directors under the Company’s board compensation program to be paid during the first quarter of 2021;


◦	negotiating temporary rent payment deferrals related to leased facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Italy and Denmark;


◦	exploring options for government loans and programs in the U.S. and abroad that would be appropriate and available;


•	we elected to defer, in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") signed into law in March 2020, the contribution payment of $5.5 million for the 2020 Plan year that would have been made on April 15, 2020; and

•

on May 14, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with its lenders amending and restating the Amended Credit Agreement, among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and lender, and the other lenders party thereto. The credit agreement, as amended and restated (the "A&R Credit Agreement"), among other amendments, extends the maturity date on the revolving credit facility to June 30, 2022 and the maturity date on the Last Out Term Loans to December 30, 2022. Under the A&R Credit Agreement, B. Riley has committed to provide the Company with up to $70.0 million of additional Last Out Term Loans. B. Riley has also agreed to enter into a limited guaranty (the "B. Riley Guaranty") which provides for the guarantee of all of the Company's obligations with respect to the revolving credit facility (other than with respect to letters of credit and contingent obligations), including the obligation to repay outstanding revolving credit loans and pay earned interest and fees.

Cash and Cash Flows

At March 31, 2020, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.4 million and we had total debt of $321.1 million. Our foreign business locations held $27.9 million of our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020. Our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility allows for nearly immediate borrowing of available capacity to fund cash requirements in the normal course of business, meaning that U.S. cash on hand is minimized to reduce borrowing costs. In general, our foreign cash balances are not available to fund our U.S. operations unless the funds are repatriated or used to repay intercompany loans made from the U.S. to foreign entities, which could expose us to taxes we presently have not made a provision for in

our results of operations. We presently have no plans to repatriate these funds to the U.S. At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $20.0 million available for borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility.

Cash used in operations was $35.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is primarily represented in the net loss of continuing operations before depreciation and amortization. There was also a $10.7 million net increase in operating cash outflows associated with changes in working capital. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in operations was $37.7 million primarily due to funding accrued losses on the six European Vølund EPC loss contracts.

Cash flows from investing activities used net cash of $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily from net change in available-for-sale securities and $2.4 million of capital expenditures. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used by investing activities was $5.3 million, primarily from purchases of available-for-sale securities.

Cash flows from financing activities provided net cash of $30.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily related to $30.0 million face value borrowings from the Tranche A-4 of the Last Out Term Loans, $6.0 million of net borrowings from the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, partly offset by $5.7 million of financing fees. Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $33.1 million primarily related to $30.4 million of net borrowings from the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the $10.0 million borrowings from the Tranche A-2 of the Last Out Term Loans for working capital purposes.

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2020, in connection with Amendment No. 16, we have accrued deferred ticking fee costs of $6.7 million due to certain actions required that were not completed by December 15, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility consisted of $185.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 8.92%. Usage under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility consisted of $185.0 million of borrowings, $25.5 million of financial letters of credit and $97.6 million of performance letters of credit. At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $22.2 million available to meet letter of credit requirements based on our overall facility size, of which $20.0 million was available for additional borrowings under our sublimit.

Under the A&R Credit Agreement, the interest rate for the revolving credit facility will be reduced to LIBOR plus 7.0% or base rate (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) plus 6.0%, which margins will be reduced by 2.0% upon the commitments under such facility being reduced to less than $200.0 million. The interest payments on the unpaid principal amount of revolving credit loans incurred during the period from May 14, 2020 through and including August 31, 2020 are deferred and will be paid in six equal installments on the last business day of each calendar month beginning on January 29, 2021 and through June 30, 2021. The maturity date under the revolving credit facility will be extended to June 30, 2022 pursuant to the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement.

Equitization Transactions

In connection with Amendment No. 16 to the Amended Credit Agreement and the extension of Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans, the Company, B. Riley and Vintage, each related parties, entered into the "Letter Agreement" on April 5, 2019, pursuant to which the parties agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to effect a series of equitization transactions for a portion of the Last Out Term Loans, subject to, among other things, stockholder approval. Stockholder approval was received at the Company's annual stockholder meeting on June 14, 2019 and the contemplated transactions (the "Equitization Transactions") occurred on July 23, 2019. The Equitization Transactions included:

•

The 2019 Rights Offering, for which B. Riley agreed to act as a backstop, by purchasing from us, at a price of $0.30 per share, all unsubscribed shares in the 2019 Rights Offering for cash or by exchanging an equal principal amount of outstanding Tranche A-2 or Tranche A-3 Last Out Term Loans (the "Backstop Commitment"). Under the 2019 Rights Offering, 16,666,666 shares of common stock were issued, of which 12,589,170 shares were purchased through the exercise of rights in the rights offering generating $37.8 million of cash, 1,333,333 shares were issued through assigned portions of the Backstop Commitment generating an additional $4.0 million of cash, and the final 2,744,163 shares were exchanged for $8.2 million of principal value including accrued paid-in-kind interest of Tranche A-3 Last Out Term Loans.


•	$10.3 million of the proceeds of the 2019 Rights Offering were used to fully repay Tranche A-2 of the Last Out Term Loans, including accrued paid-in-kind interest.


•	$31.5 million of the proceeds of the 2019 Rights Offering were used to partially prepay Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans including paid-in-kind interest. The total prepayment of principal of Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans was $39.7 million inclusive of the $8.2 million of principal value exchanged for common shares under the Backstop Commitment described above.

•

All $38.2 million of outstanding principal of Tranche A-1 of the Last Out Term Loans including accrued paid-in-kind interest was exchanged for 12,720,785 shares of common stock (10,720,785 shares to Vintage and 2,000,000 shares to B. Riley) at a price of $0.30 per share (the "Debt Exchange"). Prior to the Debt Exchange, $6.0 million of Tranche A-1 was held by B. Riley and the remainder was held by Vintage.


•	1,666,667 warrants, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share were issued to B. Riley.

Immediately after completion of the Equitization Transactions, Tranches A-1 and A-2 of the Last Out Term Loans were fully extinguished, and Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans had a balance of $114.0 million, including accrued paid-in-kind interest, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum and continues to bear the other terms described in Note 14.

Based on Schedule 13D filings made by B. Riley and Vintage, after completion of the Equitization Transactions, Vintage increased its beneficial ownership in us to 32.8% and B. Riley increased its beneficial ownership in us to 18.4% inclusive of the outstanding warrants held by B. Riley.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

Certain subsidiaries primarily outside of the United States have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees in association with contracting activity. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees opened outside of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $82.1 million and $88.5 million, respectively. The aggregate value of the letters of credit provided by the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $31.1 million as of March 31, 2020. Of the letters of credit issued under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, $33.8 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation.

2019 Rights Offering

On June 28, 2019, we distributed to holders of our common stock one nontransferable subscription right to purchase 0.986896 common shares for each common share held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 27, 2019 at a subscription price of $0.30 per whole share of common stock (the "2019 Rights Offering"). The 2019 Rights Offering expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2019, and settled on July 23, 2019. The Company did not issue fractional rights or pay cash in lieu of fractional rights. The 2019 Rights Offering did not include an oversubscription privilege.

The 2019 Rights Offering resulted in the issuance of 13.9 million common shares as a result of the exercise of subscription rights in the offering. Gross proceeds from the 2019 Rights Offering were $41.8 million, $10.3 million which was used to fully repay Tranche A-2 of the Last Out Term Loans and the remaining $31.5 million was used to reduce outstanding borrowings under Tranche A-3 of the Last Out Term Loans. Concurrently with the closing of the 2019 Rights Offering, and in satisfaction of the Backstop Commitment, the Company issued an aggregate of 2.7 million common shares in exchange for a portion of the Tranche A-3 Last Out Term Loans totaling $8.2 million, to B. Riley, a related party, as described in Note 20. The 2019 Rights Offering was pursuant to the April 5, 2019 Letter Agreement and the Equitization Transactions and was approved by stockholders at the Company's annual stockholder meeting on June 14, 2019.

Subsequent Events - Debt Refinancing

Entry into A&R Credit Agreement

from the $30.0 million of new term loans will be used to pay transaction fees and expenses and repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility governed by the A&R Credit Agreement (the "revolving credit facility"). Proceeds from the additional $40.0 million of term loans will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, with any remaining amounts used for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

The A&R Credit Agreement also amends the following terms, among others, as compared with the Amended Credit Agreement:


(i)	the maturity date of the revolving credit facility will be extended to June 30, 2022, and the maturity date of all Last Out Term Loans under the A&R Credit Agreement will be extended to December 30, 2022 (six months after the maturity date of the revolving credit facility);


(ii)	the interest rate for loans under the revolving credit facility will be reduced to LIBOR plus 7.0% or base rate (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) plus 6.0%. These margins will be reduced by 2.0% if commitments under the revolving credit facility are reduced to less than $200.0 million. The fee for letters of credit will be set at 4.0%;


(iii)	the interest rate for all Last Out Term Loans will be set at 12.0%;


(iv)	the commitments under the revolving credit facility will automatically and permanently decrease in the following amounts on the following dates, which match the funding dates and amounts for the committed term loans: (x) $10.0 million on November 30, 2020; and (y) $5.0 million on each of March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively;

Riley Guaranty Fee (the “Equitized Fee Payment” and, together with the Equitized Interest Payments, the “Equitized Fees and Interest Payments”), B. Riley will receive shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”).

Termination of Backstop Commitment Letter

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no significant off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report except for those described below.

This outbreak, and any outbreak of a contagious disease or any other adverse public health developments in countries where we operate, could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any outbreak may result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn or recession that could affect demand for our products or our ability to obtain financing for our business or projects.

The ultimate effect of the COVID-19 outbreak or any other outbreak on our business, financial condition and operations will depend heavily on the future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. In particular, the actual and threatened spread of the virus could have a material adverse effect on the global economy, could continue to negatively impact financial markets, including the trading price of our common stock, and could cause continued interest rate volatility and movements that could make obtaining financing or refinancing our debt obligations more challenging or more expensive. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results and may result in our inability to continue operating as a going concern or require us to reorganize our company in its entirety, including through bankruptcy proceedings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. It should be noted that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood

of future events, and we cannot assure that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting, despite the fact that most of our team members began working remotely in the first quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to ensure their operating effectiveness.
