***** Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information *****

This quarterly report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Statements that include the words "expect," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project," "forecast," "estimate," "may," "should," "anticipate" and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the impact of COVID-19 on us and the capital markets and global economic climate generally; our ability to integrate acquired businesses and the impact of those acquired businesses on our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition, including our acquisition of Fosler Construction Company Inc; our recognition of any asset impairments as a result of any decline in the value of our assets or our efforts to dispose of any assets in the future; our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient financing to provide liquidity to meet our business objectives, surety bonds, letters of credit and similar financing; our ability to comply with the requirements of, and to service the indebtedness under, our debt facility agreements; our ability to pay dividends on our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, the highly competitive nature of our businesses and our ability to win work, including identified project opportunities in our pipeline; general economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates; cancellations of and adjustments to backlog and the resulting impact from using backlog as an indicator of future earnings; our ability to perform contracts on time and on budget, in accordance with the schedules and terms established by the applicable contracts with customers; failure by third-party subcontractors, partners or suppliers to perform their obligations on time and as specified; our ability to successfully resolve claims by vendors for goods and services provided and claims by customers for items under warranty; our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from our restructuring plans, and other cost savings initiatives; our ability to successfully address productivity and schedule issues in our B&W Renewable, B&W Environmental and B&W Thermal segments, including the ability to complete our B&W Renewable's European EPC projects and B&W Environmental's U.S. loss projects within the expected time frame and the estimated costs;segments; our ability to successfully partner with third parties to win and execute contracts within our B&W Environmental, B&W Renewable and B&W Thermal segments; changes in our effective tax rate and tax positions, including any limitation on our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax assets; our ability to successfully manage research and development projects and costs, including our efforts to successfully develop and commercialize new technologies and products; the operating risks normally incident to our lines of business, including professional liability, product liability, warranty and other claims against us; difficulties we may encounter in obtaining regulatory or other necessary permits or approvals; changes in actuarial assumptions and market fluctuations that affect our net pension liabilities and income; our ability to successfully compete with current and future competitors; our ability to negotiate and maintain good relationships with labor unions; changes in pension and medical expenses associated with our retirement benefit programs; social, political, competitive and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business or seek new business; and the other factors specified and set forth under "Risk Factors" in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management’s current expectations and beliefs. While we believe that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.

The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2021

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.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread globally. This global pandemic has disrupted business operations including global supply chains, trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, and daily life throughout the world. Our business has been, and continues to be, adversely impacted by the measures taken and restrictions imposed in the countries in which we operate and by local governments and others to control the spread of this virus. These measures and restrictions have varied widely and have been subject to significant changes from time to time depending on changes in the severity of the virus in these countries and localities. These restrictions, including curtailment of travel and other activity, negatively impact our ability to conduct business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our global supply chains including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products. We could also see significant disruptions of the operations of our logistics, service providers, delays in shipments and negative impacts to pricing of certain of our products. Disruptions and delays in our supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely our ability to meet our customers’ demands. Lastly, the prioritization of shipments of certain products as a result of the pandemic could cause delays in the shipment or delivery of our products. Such disruptions could result in reduced sales.

The volatility and variability of the virus has limited our ability to forecast the impact of the virus on our customers and our business. The continuing resurgence of COVID-19, including new strains such as the delta variant, has resulted in the reimposition of certain restrictions and may lead to other restrictions being implemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread of the virus. These varying and changing events have caused many of the projects we had anticipated would begin in 2020 to be delayed into the second half of 2021 and beyond. 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, as noted above, been extended into the second halffourth quarter of 2021 and beyond. Additionally, out of concern for our employees, even where restrictions permit employees to return to our offices and worksites, we incurred additional costs to protect our employees and advised those who are uncomfortable returning to worksites due to the pandemic that they are not required to do so for an indefinite period of time. 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. The full extent of the COVID-19 impact, including new strains such as the delta variant, that may arise along with the availability of vaccines and anti-vaccination attitudes of the public, that could negatively impact our evaluation on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, as well as the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. and abroad, all of which are uncertain, out of our control, and cannot be predicted.

Beginning in April 2020 and continuing as of August 12, 2021, as part of the Company’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company continues to take a number of cash conservation and cost reduction measures which include:

suspension of our 401(k) company match for U.S. employees;
utilizing options for government loans and programs in the U.S. and abroad that are appropriate and available; and
deferring $20.9 million of the estimated Pension Plan contribution payments of $45.6 million that would have been due during 2021, in accordance with the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARPA relief plan”) signed into law in March 2021. In January 2021, we made Pension Plan contributions of $23.1 million, excluding interest.

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 and dividends on preferred stock:

Because we incurred a net loss in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, basic and diluted shares are the same.

If we had net income in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 diluted shares would include an additional 1.4 million shares. If we had net income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, diluted shares would include an additional 33.3 thousand1.3 million and 216.1422.3 thousand shares, respectively.

We excluded 0.30.9 million and 1.51.1 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. We excluded 0.41.0 million and 1.71.3 million shares related to stock options from the diluted share calculation for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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, accounted for 18%21% and 31%34% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 22%20% and 31%32% of our revenue for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services, accounted for 82%79% and 69%66% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 78%80% and 69%68% of our revenue for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Refer to Note 3 for our disaggregation of revenue by product line.

B&W Renewable EPC Loss Contracts

We had 6 B&W Renewable 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 Babcock & Wilcox Renewable segment which turned into a loss contract in the fourth quarter of 2019.

NaN of the 6 contracts were 100% complete and the remaining 2 contracts were nearly 100% complete at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, with only limited warranty obligations remaining, and all have been turned over to the customers. In the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0.0$0.2 million in net gains and $0.4$1.1 million in net losses, respectively, and in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0.1$0.3 million in net gains and $0.3$1.4 million in net losses, respectively, inclusive of warranty expense as described in Note 10, resulting from changes in the estimated revenues and costs to complete those contracts. All liquidated damages associated with these 6 contracts have been settled and paid as of December 31, 2020.

In 2019, one of our other B&W Renewable energy contracts turned into a loss contract due to delays and other start-up costs prior to turnover to the client in October 2019. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 our estimated loss on the contract improved by $0.7 million, and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we did 0t recognize additional charges on this contract. As of June 30, 2021, this contract was approximately 99% complete.

In September 2017, we identified the failure of a structural steel beam on a contact for a biomass plant in the United Kingdom, The engineering, design and manufacturing of the steel structure were the responsibility of our subcontractors. A similar design was also used on two other 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. The total cost related to the structural steel issues on these three contracts was estimated to be approximately $36 million, which is included in the June 30, 2021 estimated losses at completion for these three contracts. We are continuing to aggressively pursue recovery of this cost from responsible subcontractors. In October 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with an insurer under which we received a settlement of $26.0 million to settle claims in connection with 5 of 6 European B&W Renewable EPC loss contracts disclosed above. We recognized this non-recurring loss recovery of $26.0 million as a reduction of our cost of operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded the insurance receivable in accounts receivable - other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020 because we determined the loss recovery was probable as of such date.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company received an offer from a subcontractor to reimburse the Company for project costs related to three of the Renewable EPC loss contracts described above. As we have been in negotiations with this subcontractor for some time, our determination that this recent offer, while not accepted, was deemed to have met the probability threshold for recognition. Accordingly, we have recognized this offer as a reduction of our cost of operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded the receivable in accounts receivable - other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021 and in the Table above. We continue to pursue further recoveries relative to these project costs, similar to our normal practice, and the ultimate resolution of this matter could change materially.

The Company, as a normal part of its ongoing business operations, is continuing to pursue other additional potential claims and recoveries from subcontractors and others where appropriate and available.

B&W Environmental Loss Contracts

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the B&W Environmental segment had 2 significant loss contracts each of which areboth contracts for a dry cooling system for a gas-fired power plantwere nearly 100% complete. We did not recognize additional contract losses in the United States. In the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 our estimated loss on these contracts improved by $0.4 million and inmillion. In the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we did 0t recognizerecognized $1.3 million of additional charges on these contracts. As of June 30, 2021, both contracts were nearly 100% complete.

As described in Note 24, we are in the process of completing the purchase price allocation associated with the Fosler Construction acquisition and as a result, the provisional measurements of goodwill associated with this acquisition are subject to change.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when impairment indicators exist. NaNNo impairment indicators were identified during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Because the B&W Thermal, B&W Construction Co., LLC, B&W Renewable and B&W Environmental reporting units each had negative carrying values, reasonable changes in assumptions would not indicate impairment.

NOTE 15 – REVOLVING DEBT

Debt Facilities

On June 30, 2021, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“PNC”) and a letter of credit agreement (the “Letter of Credit Agreement”) with PNC, pursuant to which PNC has agreed to issue up to $110 million in letters of credit that is secured in part by cash collateral provided by an affiliate of MSD Partners, MSD PCOF Partners XLV, LLC (“MSD”), as well as a reimbursement, guaranty and security agreement with MSD, as administrative agent, and the cash collateral providers from time to time party thereto, along with certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, pursuant to which we are obligated to reimburse MSD and any other cash collateral provider to the extent the cash collateral provided by MSD and any other cash collateral provider to secure the Letter of Credit Agreement is drawn to satisfy draws on letters of credit (“Reimbursement(the “Reimbursement Agreement” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement, the “Debt Documents” and the facilities thereunder, the “Debt Facilities”). The obligations of the Company under each of the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company. B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley”), a related party, has provided a guaranty of payment with regard to the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, as described below. The Company expects to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Debt Facilities for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes, including to backstop certain letters of credit issued under our previous A&R Credit Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the lenders and the other parties from time to time party thereto, which was repaid and commitments thereunder terminated as of June 30, 2021. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2021, no borrowings have occurred under the Revolving Credit Agreement and under the Letter of Credit Agreement, usage consisted of $19.5 million of financial letters of credit and $69.0 million of performance letters of credit.

Each of the Debt Facilities has a maturity date of June 30, 2025. The interest rates applicable under the Revolving Credit Agreement float at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus 2.0% or (ii) 1 or 3 month reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate

plus 3.0%. The interest rates applicable to the Reimbursement Agreement float at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus 6.50% or (ii) 1 or 3 month reserve-adjusted LIBOR plus 7.50%. Under the Letter of Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay letter of credit fees on outstanding letters of credit equal to (i) the applicable spread over LIBOR on the aggregate face amount of the letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement, (ii) administrative fees of 0.75% and (iii)(ii) fronting fees of 0.25%.

Under each of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a facility fee equal to 0.375% per annum of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Letter of Credit Agreement, respectively. The Company is permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement prior to maturity without premium or penalty. Prepayments under the Reimbursement Agreement shall be subject to a prepayment fee of 2.25% in the first year after closing, 2.0% in the second year after closing and 1.25% in the third year after closing, with no prepayment fee payable thereafter.

The Company has mandatory prepayment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement upon the receipt of proceeds from certain dispositions or casualty or condemnation events. The Revolving Credit Agreement and Letter of Credit Agreement require mandatory prepayments to the extent of an over-advance.

The obligations under the Debt Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and each of the guarantors, in each case subject to inter-creditor arrangements. As noted above, the obligations under the Letter of Credit Facility are also secured by the cash collateral provided by MSD and any other cash collateral provider thereunder.

The Debt Documents contain certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Debt Documents require the Company to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including a quarterly fixed charge coverage test of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, a quarterly senior net leverage ratio test of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, a non-guarantor cash repatriation covenant not to exceed $35 million at any one time, a minimum liquidity covenant of at least $30.0 million at all times, and an annual cap on maintenance capital expenditures of $7.5 million. The Debt Documents also contain customary events of default (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the respective facility, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the applicable Debt Agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Debt Documents may become due and payable immediately.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Debt Documents, on June 30, 2021, B. Riley, a related party, entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of MSD, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Reimbursement Agreement, for the ratable benefit of MSD, the cash collateral providers and each co-agent or sub-agent appointed by MSD from time to time (the “B. Riley Guaranty”). The B. Riley Guaranty provides for the guarantee of all of the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. The B. Riley Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others, certain events of default and the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement. Under a fee letter with B. Riley, the Company agreed to pay B. Riley $0.9 million per annum in connection with the B. Riley Guaranty. The Company entered into a reimbursement agreement with B. Riley governing the Company’s obligation to reimburse B. Riley to the extent the B. Riley Guaranty is called upon by the agent or lenders under the Reimbursement Agreement.

A&R Credit Agreement

As described above, the A&R Credit Agreement commitments were terminated, all loans were repaid and all outstanding and undrawn letters of credit were collateralized on June 30, 2021. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $6.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily representing the write-off of accrued revolver fees of $11.3 million offset by the unamortized deferred financing fees of $4.8 million related to the prior A&R Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

Certain of our 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 outstanding outside our prior A&R Credit Agreement as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was $57.3$53.1 million. The aggregate value of the outstanding letters of credit provided by our prior A&Runder the Letter of Credit Agreement backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $22.1$21.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Of the outstanding letters of credit issued under our prior A&Rthe Letter of Credit Agreement, $32.1$29.8 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation. At June 30, 2021, usage under the prior A&R Credit Agreement consisted
25

Table of $22.0 million of financial letters of credit and $79.7 million of performance letters of credit.Contents

We have also 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2021, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $259.3$157.6 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit provided by our prior A&R Credit Agreement backstopping surety bonds was $24.6$13.1 million.

Our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient capacity under our new Debt Facilities 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.

We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the United States 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 effective tax rates ranging between approximately 19% and 30%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions where we conduct operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary in both nominal rates and the basis on which these rates are applied. Our consolidated effective income tax rate can vary from period to period due to these foreign income tax rate variations, changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income, and valuation allowances.

NOTE 20 – 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. On March 16, 2020 we filed a motion to dismiss, and on December 14, 2020 the court issued its order dismissing the fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims and finding that, in the event that parties’ contract is found to be valid, Plaintiffs’ claims for damages will be subject to the contractual cap on liability (defined as the $11.7 million purchase price subject to certain adjustments). On January 11, 2021, we filed our answer and a counterclaim for breach of contract, seeking damages in excess of $2.9 million. We intend to continue to vigorously litigate 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 staff of the SEC has informed the Company that its investigation is now concluded and that the staff does not intend to recommend any enforcement action against the Company. As the Company previously disclosed, the U.S. SEC ishad been conducting a formal investigation of the Company, focusing on the accounting charges and related matters involving the Company's B&W 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 SEC has taken testimony from past and current officers, directors, and employees in addition to also seeking testimony from certain third-parties. 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.

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 ("Stockholder Litigation"). 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 case is currently in discovery. We believe that the outcome of the Stockholder Litigation will not have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, net of any insurance coverage.

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.

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.
Last Out Term Loans and Revolving Debt. 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 Last Out Term Loans and Revolving Debt approximated their carrying value at December 31, 2020.
Warrants. The fair value of the warrants was established using the Black-Scholes option pricing model value approach.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

The purchase price allocation associated with the September 30, 2021 acquisition of controlling ownership of Fosler Construction Company Inc. ("Fosler Construction") required significant fair value measurements using unobservable inputs ("Level 3" inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy established by FASB Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). See Note 24 for additional information regarding the Fosler Construction acquisition.

NOTE 24 – ACQUISITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Acquisitions

On September 30, 2021, we acquired a 60% controlling ownership stake in Illinois-based solar energy contractor Fosler Construction Company Inc. (“Fosler Construction”) for approximately $27.2 million in cash plus a contingent consideration arrangement. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. We are in the process of completing the purchase price allocation associated with the Fosler Construction business combination and as a result, the provisional measurements of goodwill and any other assets and liabilities acquired are subject to change. Fosler Construction provides commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar services and owns 2 community solar projects in Illinois being developed under the Illinois Solar for All program. Fosler Construction was founded in 1998 and employs approximately 120 people with a track record of successfully completing solar projects profitably with union labor and aligning its model with a growing number of renewable project incentives in the U.S. We believe Fosler Construction is positioned to capitalize on the high-growth solar market in the U.S. and that the acquisition aligns with B&W’s aggressive growth and expansion of our clean and renewable energy businesses. Fosler Construction will be reported as part of our B&W Renewable segment, and it will operate under the name Fosler Solar, a Babcock and Wilcox company.

The total fair value of consideration for the acquisition is $33.4 million, including $6.2 million in estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of specified objectives, including reaching targeted revenue thresholds. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0.0 million and $10.0 million.

We estimated fair values primarily using the discounted cash flow method at September 30, 2021 for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. If we determine any measurement period adjustments are material, we will apply those adjustments, including any related impacts to net income, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.

The provisional measurements noted in the table below are preliminary and subject to modification in the future. The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was:

Net acquisition cost$33,392 
(1) Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. With respect to the Fosler Construction acquisition, goodwill represents Fosler's ability to significantly expand EPC and O&M services among new customers across the U.S. by leveraging B&W's access to capital and geographic reach. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for U.S federal income tax purposes.
(2) The fair value of the non-controlling interest was derived based on the fair value of the 60% controlling interest acquired by B&W. The transaction price paid by B&W reflects a Level 2 input involving an observable transaction involving an ownership interest in Fosler Construction. Also, as described above, a portion of the purchase consideration relates to the contingent consideration.

The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of costs related to the acquisition of Fosler Construction which were recorded as a component of our operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Assets Held for Sale

Certain real property assets for the Copley, Ohio location were sold on March 15, 2021 for $4.0 million. We received $3.3 million of net proceeds after adjustments and recognized a gain on sale of $1.9 million. In conjunction with the sale, we executed a leaseback agreement commencing March 16, 2021 and expiring on March 31, 2033. These assets were treated as assets held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020.

Certain real property assets for the Lancaster, Ohio location were sold on August 13, 2021 for $18.9 million. We received $15.8 million of net proceeds after adjustments and expenses and recognized a gain on sale of $13.9 million. In conjunction with the sale, we executed a leaseback agreement commencing August 13, 2021 and expiring on August 31, 2041. These assets were treated as assets held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020.

In December 2019, we determined that a small business within the B&W Thermal segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the net assets planned to be sold approximated the estimated fair value less costs to sell. Refer to Divestitures below as this sale closed March 5, 2021.

In December 2020, we determined that certain real property assets within the B&W Thermal segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2021, the carrying value of the assets held for sale of $1.8 million was lower than the estimated fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 25 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We adopted the following accounting standard during the first sixnine months of 2021:

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,

Table of Contents
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. 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 May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Equity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update affect all entities that issue freestanding written call options that are classified in equity. Specifically, the amendments affect those entities when a freestanding equity-classified written call option is modified or exchanged and remains equity classified after the modification or exchange. The amendments that relate to the recognition and measurement of EPS for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options affect entities that present EPS in accordance with the guidance in Earnings Per Share (Topic 260). The amendments in this update do not apply to modifications or exchanges of financial instruments that are within the scope of another Topic. That is, accounting for those instruments continues to be subject to the requirements in other Topics. The amendments in this update do not affect a holder’s accounting for freestanding call options. The update is applicable to B&W as we have previously issued freestanding written call options however those options remain unexercised as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and they have not been modified or exchanged to date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in this update clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This update is an amendment to ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform of Financial Reporting, which was issued in March 2020 and provides 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 the updates 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 updates 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 both updates 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 standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The amendments also improve the consistency of diluted earnings per share calculations. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after
34


December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. 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
37

Table of Contents
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 26 – PROPOSED ACQUISITION

During the third quarter, we announced our intention to acquire 100% of the equity interests of VODA A/S, a leading multi-brand aftermarket parts and service provider for the waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy markets based in Vejen, Denmark, for approximately $30.0 million.

VODA focuses on energy producing incineration plants including waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy or other fuels, providing service, engineering services, spare parts as well as general outage support and management. VODA has extensive experience within incineration technology, boiler / pressure parts, SRO, automation, and performance optimization.They employ people mainly in Denmark and Sweden. The planned acquisition of VODA aligns with B&W’s aggressive growth and expansion of our clean and renewable energy businesses.

The foregoing planned acquisition is expected to close by the end of December 2021 and remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions specified in the share purchase agreement, including the receipt of Foreign Direct Investment clearance in Denmark by December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

B&W is a growing, globally-focused renewable, environmental and thermal technologies provider with decades of experience providing diversified energy and emissions control solutions to a broad range of industrial, electrical utility, municipal and other customers. B&W’s innovative products and services are organized into three market-facing segments:

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable: Cost-effective technologies for efficient and environmentally sustainable power and heat generation, including waste-to-energy, solar construction and installation, biomass energy and black liquor systems for the pulp and paper industry. B&W’s leading technologies support a circular economy, diverting waste from landfills to use for power generation and replacing fossil fuels, while recovering metals and reducing emissions.
Babcock & Wilcox Environmental: A full suite of best-in-class emissions control and environmental technology solutions for utility, waste to energy, biomass, carbon black, and industrial steam generation applications around the world. B&W’s broad experience includes systems for cooling, ash handling, particulate control, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides removal, chemical looping for carbon control, and mercury control.
Babcock & Wilcox Thermal: Steam generation equipment, aftermarket parts, construction, maintenance and field services for plants in the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. B&W has an extensive global base of installed equipment for utilities and general industrial applications including refining, petrochemical, food processing, metals and others.

On September 30, 2021, we acquired a 60% controlling ownership stake in Illinois-based solar energy contractor Fosler Construction Company Inc. (“Fosler Construction”) for approximately $27.2 million in cash plus a contingent consideration arrangement. Fosler Construction provides commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar services and owns two community solar projects in Illinois being developed under the Illinois Solar for All program. Fosler Construction was founded in 1998 and employs approximately 120 people with a track record of successfully completing solar projects profitably with union labor and aligning its model with a growing number of renewable project incentives in the U.S. We believe Fosler Construction is positioned to capitalize on the high-growth solar market in the U.S. and that the acquisition aligns with B&W’s aggressive growth and expansion of our clean and renewable energy businesses. Fosler Construction will be reported as part of our B&W Renewable segment, and it will operate under the name Fosler Solar, a Babcock and Wilcox company.

Our business depends significantly on the capital, operations and maintenance expenditures of global electric power generating companies, including renewable and thermal powered heat generation industries and industrial facilities with environmental compliance policy requirements. Several factors may influence these expenditures, including:

climate change initiatives promoting environmental policies which include renewable energy options utilizing waste-to-energy or biomass to meet legislative requirements and clean energy portfolio standards in the United States, European, Middle East and Asian markets;
requirements for environmental improvements in various global markets;
expectation of future governmental requirements to further limit or reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions in the United States, Europe and other international climate change sensitive countries;
prices for electricity, along with the cost of production and distribution including the cost of fuels within the United States, Europe, Middle East and Asian based countries;
demand for electricity and other end products of steam-generating facilities;
level of capacity utilization at operating power plants and other industrial uses of steam production;
requirements for maintenance and upkeep at operating power plants to combat the accumulated effects of usage;
overall strength of the industrial industry; and
ability of electric power generating companies and other steam users to raise capital.

35


Customer demand is heavily affected by the variations in our customers' business cycles and by the overall economies and energy, environmental and noise abatement needs of the countries in which they operate.

We recorded operating income of $2.8$14.8 million and $11.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to operating income of $14.1 million and an operating loss of $3.7$3.9 million in the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to operating losses of $7.7 million and $18.0 million in the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively, and we showed improved results in all three our Environmental and Thermal segments as described below.

Adjusted EBITDA in the B&W Renewable segment was $3.4$11.4 million and $3.6$15.0 million in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $(0.1)$23.6 million and $(1.6)$22.0 million in the three and sixnine months ended June September 30, 2020, respectively.respectively. The improvementdecline is primarily attributable to lower levelsthe non-recurring loss recovery of direct overhead support and SG&A, reflecting$26.0 million recognized in third quarter of 2020 under an October 10, 2020 settlement agreement with an insurer in connection with five of the benefits of cost savings and restructuring initiatives, offset partially by the decreasesix European B&W Renewable EPC loss contracts, as described in volume.Note 4.

Adjusted EBITDA in the B&W Environmental segment was $2.7$3.5 million and $3.8$7.3 million in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $(1.1)$2.2 millionand $(0.8)$1.4 million in the three and sixnine months ended June September 30, 2020, respectively. The increase is driven primarily by the higher volume and the decreasepartially offset by an increase in shared resources.

Adjusted EBITDA in the B&W Thermal segment was $12.4$9.2 million and $32.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $7.3 million and $22.9 million in the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $8.0 million and $15.6 million in the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively.respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in volume offset partially by product mix, an increase in expenses due to growth in Asia and Mid-East,Middle East, and aan increase in shared resources due to higher volume.

We have manufacturing facilities in Mexico, the United 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 saving 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 B&W Renewable, B&W Environmental and B&W Thermal 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
39

Table of Contents
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 impacted by:

$2.44.6 million and $3.4$8.0 million of restructuring costs were recognized in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $2.4 million and $4.3$6.7 million of restructuring costs recognized in the three and sixnine months ended June September 30, 2020, respectively.respectively. The restructuring costs primarily related to severance.severance and business service transition costs.
$1.30.3 million and $2.2$2.6 million of financial advisory service fees were recognized in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $0.6$1.7 million and $1.5$3.2 million in the corresponding periods of 2020. Financial advisory service fees are included in advisory fees and settlement costs in theour Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
$2.11.0 million and $4.0$5.0 million of legal and other advisory fees were recognized in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $1.2$1.4 million and $3.8$5.2 million in the corresponding periods of 2020 These fees are related to the contract settlement and liquidity planning and are included in advisory fees and settlement costs in theour Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
$1.20.6 million and $1.5$2.1 million of litigation legal costs were recognized in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $0.3$0.8 million and $0.9$1.8 million in the corresponding periods of 2020. These fees are included in advisory fees and settlement costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
$4.0 million of costs related to actual or potential acquisitions were recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In addition to the discussions described above, we continue to evaluate further dispositions, opportunities for additional cost savings and opportunities for subcontractor recoveries and other claims where appropriate and available. If the value of our
36


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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations

The presentation of the components of our adjusted EBITDA in the table below is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker reviews the results of our operations and makes strategic decisions about our business. Items such as gains or losses on asset sales, net pension benefits, restructuring costs, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management are not allocated to the segments.

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. 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.

Corporate

Corporate costs in adjusted EBITDA include SG&A expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. These costs include, among others, certain executive, compliance, strategic, reporting and legal expenses associated with governance of the total organization and being an SEC registrant. Corporate costs decreased $0.8increased $1.0 million to $3.0$5.9 million compared to $3.8$4.9 million incurred for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs recognized for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Corporate costs decreased $1.3 million to $11.5 million compared to $12.9 million incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower audit fees, personnel, director fees and insurance costs, offset by higher incentive compensation in the second quarter of 2021.

Corporate costs decreased $2.3 million to $5.7 million compared to $7.9 million incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower incentive compensation, audit fees, and temporary consultant fees incurredrecognized in the first sixnine months of 2021.

Advisory Fees and Settlement Costs

Advisory fees and settlement costs increaseddecreased by $2.5$2.0 million to $4.5$1.8 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 compared to $2.0$3.8 million in the corresponding period of 2020 and advisory fees and settlement costs increased $1.6decreased $0.4 million to $7.8$9.7 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 as compared to $6.2$10.1 million in the corresponding period of 2020. The change is primarily due to increaseddecreased use of external consultants in the secondthird quarter of 2021.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are focused on improving our products through innovations to reduce the cost of our products and make them more competitive, as well as to reduce performance risk of our products to better meet our and our customers' expectations. Research and development (benefit) expenses totaled $0.6$(0.2) million and $1.2$1.4 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and totaled $1.2$1.0 million and $2.6$3.9 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease$(0.2) million benefit in the third quarter of 2021 resulted from the recognition of a foreign research and development refundable credit of $0.8 million from the 2020 tax year. Excluding the effects of the refundable credit, the decreases for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2021 resulted primarily from timing of specific research and development efforts.

Restructuring

Restructuring actions across our business units and corporate functions resulted in $2.4$4.6 million and $2.4 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and totaled $3.4$8.0 million and $4.3$6.7 million of expense in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The charges primarily consist of severance and business service transition costs related to actions taken, including as part of the Company’s strategic, market-focused organizational and re-branding initiative

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $2.4$2.3 million and $2.9$2.7 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively and depreciation expense was $5.1$7.4 million and $5.5$8.2 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Amortization expense was $2.0$2.1 million and $1.3$1.4 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively and amortization expense was $3.4$5.5 million and $2.7$4.1 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, 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.cost. Service cost is low because our plan benefits are frozen except for a small number of hourly participants. Pension benefits before MTM were $5.9$7.6 million and $7.5$7.3 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Pension benefits before MTM were $15.0$22.6 million and $15.0$22.3 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our pension costs also include MTM adjustments from time to time. Interim MTM charges are primarily a result of changes in the discount rate, curtailments orand settlements. Any MTM charge or gain should not be considered to be representative of

Table of Contents
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. Total MTM adjustments for our pension benefit plans were gains of $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There were no MTM adjustments for our other postretirement benefit plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There were no MTM adjustments for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 20202020.

Other than service cost of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.4$0.7 million and $0.4$0.6 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are related to the small number of hourly participants still accruing benefits within the Babcock & Wilcox Thermal segment, pension benefit and MTM adjustments are excluded from the results of our segments.

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. Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.

Our income tax expense in the secondthird quarter of 2021 reflects a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, except in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sweden. Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period to determine whether realization is more likely than not. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances may be removed 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 secondthird quarter of 2021 is not reflective of the United States statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorablefavorable discrete items,including the adjustment of deferred tax liabilities for the effect of an enacted change in the United Kingdom tax rate from 19%return to 25% beginning in 2023.provision adjustments. In certain jurisdictions (namely, Denmark and Italy) where the companyCompany anticipates a loss for the fiscal year or incurs a loss for the year-to-date for which a tax benefit cannot be realized in accordance with ASC 740, the companyCompany excludes the loss in that jurisdiction from the overall computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. For the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the United States was not considered a loss jurisdiction and was included in the estimated annual effective tax rate. .

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, primarily related to intraperiod tax allocation, recognizing deferred tax liabilities for changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries, and exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 on January 1, 2021, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements, estimated income for the full fiscal year 2021, or to the trend of earnings.

Last Out Term Loans

Effective with the new debt facilities the Company entered into on June 30, 2021, as described in Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of thethis Quarterly Report, the Company has no remaining Last Out Term Loans and no further borrowings thereunder are available.

The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $6.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, primarily representing the unamortized value of the original issuance discount and fees on the Tranche A-3 Last Out Term Loan.

See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of thethis Quarterly Report for additional information on our Last Out Term Loans.

A&R Credit Agreement

As described above, the A&R Credit Agreement commitments were terminated, all loans were repaid and all outstanding and undrawn letters of credit were collateralized on June 30, 2021. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $6.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily representing the write-off of accrued revolver fees of $11.3 million offset by the unamortized deferred financing fees of $4.8 million related to the prior A&R Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

Certain of our 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 outstanding outside our prior A&R Credit Agreement as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was $57.3$53.1 million. The aggregate value of the outstanding letters of credit provided by our prior A&Runder the Letter of Credit Agreement backstopping letters of credit or bank guarantees was $22.1$21.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Of the
46


outstanding letters of credit issued under our prior A&Rthe Letter of Credit Agreement, $32.1$29.8 million are subject to foreign currency revaluation.

We have also 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2021, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $259.3$157.6 million. The aggregate value of the letters of credit provided by our prior A&R Credit Agreement backstopping surety bonds was $24.6$13.1 million.

Our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient capacity under our new Debt Facilities 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.

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.

On September 30, 2021, we acquired a 60% controlling ownership in Fosler Construction, as described in Note 24 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report. As the acquisition occurred during the last 12 months, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures does not include internal control over financial reporting related to the Fosler Construction acquisition. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our internal control over financial reporting scope in the year of acquisition.

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that
47


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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 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 some of our team members are working remotely 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and
in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.2021 and June 30, 2021 and other filings with the SEC since the date of the Form 10-K. There arehave been no material changes to the followingsuch risk factors:

We repaid our A&R Credit Agreement and our new Revolving Credit Agreement restricts our operations.

As disclosed in Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report, we repaid our A&R Credit Agreement on June 30, 2021. Also as of June 30, 2021, we entered into the Debt Documents, including our new Revolving Credit agreement.

The Debt Documents contain certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Debt Documents require the Company to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including a quarterly fixed charge coverage test, a quarterly senior net leverage ratio test, a non-guarantor cash repatriation covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant and an annual cap on maintenance capital expenditures. The Debt Documents also contains customary events of default (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the respective facility, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the applicable Debt Agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Debt Documents may become due and payable immediately.

Our ability to comply with the covenants, restrictions and specified financial ratios contained in the Debt Documents, including our Revolving Credit Agreement, may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing macroeconomic, financial and industry conditions, as well as the other risks discussed in this Quarterly Report. If market or other macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, or if we experience any of the other risks discussed in this Quarterly Report, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. A breach of any of the covenants in our Debt Documents could result in an event of default under our Debt Documents, which would result in our inability to access our Revolving Credit Agreement for additional borrowings and letters of credit while any default exists. Upon the occurrence of such an event of default, all amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Agreement could also be declared to be immediately due and payable and all applicable commitments to extend further credit could be terminated. If indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Agreement is accelerated, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay the indebtedness. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our Debt Documents and any future financing agreements may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.factors.
