Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in Akron, Ohio, is a prominent provider of energy and environmental products and services, catering to power and industrial markets worldwide. The company is known for its innovative solutions in the thermal energy sector, including its ClimateBright decarbonization platform and BrightLoop hydrogen generation technology.
In its first quarter of 2025 earnings report, Babcock & Wilcox announced a strong performance, with revenue reaching $181.2 million and operating income of $5.9 million, both surpassing expectations. The company also reported an adjusted EBITDA of $14.3 million, marking a significant improvement from the previous year. Notably, the Global Parts & Service division achieved record-high Q1 bookings, revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA.
Key financial highlights include a 10% increase in revenue compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a large natural gas project and increased parts sales. The company also reduced its net loss to $7.8 million from $12.8 million in the same period last year. Additionally, Babcock & Wilcox successfully exchanged $131.8 million of bonds into $100.8 million of new five-year notes, reducing overall debt and interest expenses.
The company continues to focus on strategic investments in its ClimateBright and BrightLoop technologies, aiming to enhance its market position in the decarbonization and hydrogen generation sectors. The sale of a Denmark-based subsidiary’s assets for $20 million further supports these initiatives, with a portion of the proceeds directed towards the Massillon BrightLoop project.
Looking ahead, Babcock & Wilcox remains optimistic about its growth prospects, supported by a robust backlog of $526.8 million and favorable market conditions in the thermal energy sector. The company is committed to addressing its debt obligations through refinancing efforts and asset dispositions, positioning itself for sustained growth in 2025 and beyond.
