A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures can be found in our third quarter earnings release published last week and in our company overview presentation filed on Form 8-K this afternoon and posted on the investor relations section of our website at babcock.com. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:01:45Thanks, Sharyn. Well, good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us today on our call. We continue to execute on our strategy to expand our global parts and services business while also focusing on large opportunities within North America and reducing a majority of our debt obligations. The increasing demand for power in North America drives our growth and aligns well with our strategy to divest certain non-core assets to significantly reduce our debt while positioning B&W to play a pivotal role in supporting AI data center expansion and increased baseload generation needs. We are pleased to report a number of positive developments this quarter at Babcock & Wilcox, both in relation to our quarterly financials as well as our recent projects and partnerships that we have completed. Adjusted EBITDA and operating income significantly outperformed company and consensus expectations this quarter. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:02:46Adjusted EBITDA was 58% higher compared to third quarter of 2024, while operating income was up 315% when compared to the same period of 2024. Our improved margins directly reflect the record quarter results for our parts and services business. During the third quarter, our global parts and services achieved the highest quarterly and year-to-date bookings, revenue, and gross profit in recent company history. Our growing backlog continues to benefit from increasing demand across projects, upgrades, and construction as power generation needs for industrials and utilities in North America continue to accelerate. In total, we saw our backlog rise 56% quarter over quarter to a total of over 393 million. Through a combination of disposition of non-core assets and equity raises, we have paid or will pay down the February 2026 notes by end of year 2025. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:03:55We also have the liquidity to pay down the December 2026 bonds, a process that we plan to begin by end of year. Over the course of the past several months and with key equity raises last week, our balance sheet has significantly improved. With this improvement, along with the tailwinds from baseload generation demands in the market, we have positioned B&W for substantial growth in 2026. We are currently projecting a range of 70 million to 85 million in EBITDA from our core business in 2026, which is 80% growth year over year from 2025. And this does not include any revenues or margin from our recently announced AI data center projects. We have been in discussions on several opportunities within the AI data center space, and we are seeing agentic AI as a new catalyst for higher power demands in the U.S. and around the world. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:05:01We are pleased to announce that we have signed a limited notice to proceed with Applied Digital to begin work for the delivery and installation of natural gas technology that will provide one gigawatt of efficient energy for an AI factory and data center project. The total project valued at full notice to proceed will be over 1.5 billion in total once finalized, and we anticipate that full notice to proceed to be released in the next few months. As a part of this deal, B&W plans to design and install four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants consisting of proven boilers and associated steam turbines to support Applied Digital's AI factory. The plant is targeted to begin operation in 2028. This technology carries equal efficiency as simple cycle turbines and can be operational much faster than combined or simple cycle power plant options. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:06:03The impact from this deal on B&W is profound, adding 3-5 billion in AI data center opportunities in our pipeline. We are also pursuing other projects and opportunities, which brings our total global pipeline to 10 to 12 billion in totality, including ClimateBright and BrightLoop. Taking a look at our BrightLoop technologies, our efforts to progress BrightLoop are moving forward as we further the commercial development of our existing projects and continue working to improve the overall operational effectiveness of these technologies to produce low-cost hydrogen or steam. We're seeing increasing activity for BrightLoop technology, both for steam generation and hydrogen production, that can produce energy with lower costs and expenditures. In fact, we're in discussions with a number of oil and gas companies and large utilities about using BrightLoop for specific steam or hydrogen generation projects. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:07:04From a ClimateBright perspective, we are seeing an increased demand to leverage carbon credits, both in waste to energy and coal to energy, as optional offtake revenues for our customers. We also are in discussions on several opportunities and believe we can announce a significant carbon capture project utilizing our SolveBright technology very soon. I'll now turn the call over to Cameron to discuss the financial details for the third quarter of 2025. Cameron? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:07:35Yeah, thanks, Kenny. I am pleased to review our third quarter results, further details of which can be found in the 10Q that is on file with the SEC. Our third quarter consolidated revenues were 149 million, which was roughly in line with the third quarter of 2024. Global parts and service remained strong in the third quarter of 2025, with revenues of 68.4 million compared to revenues of 61.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. The improvement is primarily due to the increasing need for electricity from fossil fuels driven by the demand from artificial intelligence, data centers, and expanding economies. Our net operating income in the third quarter of 2025 was 6.5 million compared to operating income of 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:08:27Loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2025 was 2.3 million compared to a loss of 7.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, and our Adjusted EBITDA was 12.6 million compared to 8 million in the third quarter of 2024, beating street expectations. As Kenny stated earlier, we have announced our 2026 full-year Adjusted EBITDA target range of 70-85 million stemming from our core business, which does not take into account any growth related to data centers. I'll now turn to our balance sheet, cash flow, and liquidity. Total debt at September 30th, 2025, was 379.3 million, consisting of 98.4 million of February 2026 bonds, 90.9 million of December 2026 bonds, and 121 million of bonds due in 2030, with the remaining debt being related to our letters of credits. As of September 30th, we had zero drawn on our asset-based loan. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:09:29The company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance of 201.1 million, giving us a net debt as of September 30th, 2025, of 178.2 million. On October 2nd, B&W paid down 70 million of bonds that were due in February of 2026, and we recently announced the remaining outstanding February 2026 bonds will be paid down fully in December of 2025. Another notable development took place last week when the company was able to raise an additional 65 million of equity, which has further strengthened our balance sheet and shows the ability to pay down the remaining of the 2026 bonds that are due in December of 2026. When factoring in our recent equity raise, this will leave us with a pro forma net debt of 113.2 million, which will be between 0.8 to 1.6 times targeted 2026 EBITDA. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:10:31Lastly, although we said on Friday that we would be pausing sales under the ATM program, we've decided to resume ATM sales and intend to sell shares under the ATM program opportunistically based on market conditions and our share price. I'll now turn the call back over to Kenny. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:10:51Cameron, thanks. Well, in closing, as always, I would just like to recognize the efforts of our dedicated and talented employees that are around the world who focus on working hard every day to meet the challenges and supporting our customers while meeting the energy demands of today. I will now turn the call back over to Victoria, who will, and I think we have time for about three questions. So, Victoria, I'll turn it back over to you. Thanks. Operator00:11:20Of course. As he said, for today's call, we will only have time for three questions. Our first question comes from the line of Aaron Spychalla with Craig-Hallum. Your line is now open. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:11:31Yeah. Yeah. Hi, Kenny and Cameron. Thanks for taking the questions. Maybe first on the $1.5 billion project, can you just talk a little bit about next steps that are needed and how you see potential contribution from a timing and margin perspective moving forward? And then just thoughts on the supply chain and kind of working capital needs as that ramps. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:11:55Sure. No, appreciate that, Aaron. Thanks for jumping on the call today. So, first of all, we're actually right now working with Applied, obviously, to finalize the exact location where this will take place and so we can finalize the full notice to proceed, which, again, as you mentioned in the comments, we anticipate being done here in the next couple of months. As part of that, we're also behind the scenes working with a few of the steam turbine generators at this point in time and have secured some verbal commitments that we have the ability to meet these timeframes. And so we'll look to finalize those details on that as well as our own manufacturing of these particular boilers. The great news, I think, in this case is that we're using, I'm going to use the term off-the-shelf. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:12:47So these 300 MW boilers are designs that we have installed at several locations prior to this event. So this is a proven technology and architecture, and so there's very little, if any, engineering that needs to be performed in order to get these to a manufacturing state. We already have the construction drawings of each of these, the fabrication diagrams, the layouts, the header layouts, the tubing, everything associated with this type of a boiler to meet the specs and standards here in the U.S. And so it's an easy method for us to move that right into the manufacturing process. And that's the exciting part here. It's a rare opportunity for us to do and utilize a design that we have implemented in many locations prior. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:13:35So we're obviously very comfortable with the standards and the performance of those boilers, easy to move into manufacturing, and leveraging the fact that we have access to the steam turbines in a much faster go-to-market model than trying to leverage a combined cycle or simple cycle turbine plant today. So that's the benefit here on that. But we're working through all of those in parallel with Applied and, again, plan to have the full notice to proceed signed here in the next couple of months. And we're working diligently behind the scenes to move the project full forward. As it relates to the working capital aspects on it, we'll work with Applied on the timing of that and how we move that forward. That'll be part of the full notice to proceed process here over the next couple of months. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:14:24Typically, for us, we typically keep the working capital on projects like this at a neutral to positive. So down payment requirements that we have with manufacturers or subcontractors are typically collected upfront on these projects and have no reason to believe it would be any different here. So we're moving forward under that direction, and Applied understands that as well. So we think that will help minimize this a little bit overall and any impacts of working capital on the company. And we should remain cash flow positive on this as we typically do on projects like this at this point in time. So that's the overall plan. As far as revenue recognition goes and margin recognition, obviously, we're a POC shop under that. It will depend on timing of when we can apply the cost to the project into next year. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:15:19Some of that will be based on the final notice to proceed and the timeframe there. So it's a little bit vague, and it won't be terribly much, I would say, in 2026. I don't know. I'm just throwing out a number. Maybe 10% 15% of the value would be realized then. The bulk of it, based on the accounting methods, would be realized more in the 2027 and obviously 2028. So based on the fact that we're still finalizing that NTP and our guidance next year, we have not included this project or any other data center projects in that 70 million-85 million range. So this would represent complete upside and probably significant upside to any number that we would be putting out right now. Cameron, I don't know if there's anything you want to add to that, but otherwise, I don't know. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:13I'll turn it back to you. Cameron FrymyerCFO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:15No, no. I think you hit all the points, Kenny. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:16:20That's very helpful. Thanks. And then maybe just second on the additional pipeline, it sounds like last week it was a billion and a half. Today, it sounds like maybe 3 billion-5 billion. So maybe some growth there. Can you just talk about how mature some of those opportunities are and potential timing of when you could see some of those move forward as well? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:45We are obviously in talks with several as it relates to this and have been. I want to emphasize that have been prior to this announcement in talks with several on this particular solution in different sizes, right? Meaning some would be smaller in a maybe a half-gigawatt range, some are perhaps even a little larger in a one and a half to two-gigawatt range. So there's a number of these opportunities where this solution makes the most sense from both a cost standpoint as well as delivery and timeframe standpoint. Some of that would be subject to complete availability in the manufacturing and the steam turbine side. And again, the early indications are we've got some real positive capacities there to meet this entire demand. And so on some of those, it'll be working with them to move forward, hopefully, on a couple of the other opportunities. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:17:40If we can get them to commit, I would say those would be in the next year's timeframe to announce on that regard. But we're obviously involved with these other opportunities that are out there and fully intend to push those across the goal line. That's on this solution. The other ones that we're heavily working with is related to our Denham partnership. And we are working very closely with Denham Capital right now on a number of locations to convert some coal plants to natural gas. And that's also in the works as well too. So I think we have those opportunities are within that opportunity and pipeline as well as the other natural gas and steam turbine combination that were proposed for Applied would also be in that opportunity as well. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:18:29So the combinations of all that and the sizes of those, we decided to take the pipeline up even a little bit further from last week. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:18:39That's great. Thanks for the color. And best of luck. I'll turn it over. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:18:45Thanks. Operator00:18:46Thank you for your questions. Our next question comes from the line of Rob Brown with Lake Street Capital Markets. Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:55Hi, good afternoon. Operator00:18:56How are you doing, Colonel? Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:58Good afternoon. On the ability or your capacity for that pipeline, what is your capacity sort of in this power gen segment, and how do you sort of think about capacity kind of limits there? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:19:13So there's two main components to that capacity aspect, Rob. And thanks for jumping on, by the way. There's two aspects to that. One is the manufacturing of the boiler or fabrication of the boiler. For us, that's par for the course, right? That's what we do. And we have been looking and evaluating our own internal capacities that we have today as well as our external partners that we use in various places around the world to manufacture these kinds of systems. So all of those companies are on board with this. And quite frankly, it's a volume. Many of these manufacturing and fabrication groups are comfortable and used to dealing with projects of this size. So it's just a matter of how much we can put into each location on that. And we're going through that right now. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:20:06So I would say within the pipeline that we have today, again, depending on the exact timing of some of this, we feel pretty comfortable that we can complete the manufacturing and have the capacity to do that on the boiler fabrication and manufacturing. On the steam turbine aspect of this, the good news is there's a lot more steam turbine companies than there are combined cycle and simple cycle companies out there. We can't give names right now, but we're in discussions with several and are quickly trying to move into a relationship with them that we have this capacity secured. And we believe, just based on a lot of the early conversations that we're having with these particular groups, that that capacity does exist, maybe across a couple of different manufacturers. And we'll work through that. But from a steam turbine perspective, we think these opportunities do exist. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:21:04They're obviously very excited because this is a way for them to get involved in a high-growth area for them as well too. So far, it's been full energy, if you will, across both the manufacturing side and on the steam turbine side as well. Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:21:24Okay. Thank you for that. On the switching to kind of the climate right projects, I think you mentioned the CO2 capture opportunity that's developing. Can you give a little more color there on when that might happen and what the size could be? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:21:40Yeah. So there are a few projects that we're in dialogue and discussions on. Some of these are feed studies that we always talk about feed studies out there. Feed studies, meaning front-end engineering design studies. And we have several of those going on at this case. So we're in discussions right now to finalize an opportunity and feel like that can happen fairly soon, hopefully not days, weeks at max on a project that we can put out. And order of magnitude would be in the, I'll just call it 70 million-100 million-ish in that category. I'll leave it kind of a little bit of a range there as we finalize it. But on the initial project itself, and then there's probably more opportunities and upside on that. But we are seeing in the U.S. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:22:34from some of these operators and the hyperscalers and other aspects, where a few occasions they would like to have the CDRs or the carbon offtake as and the groups that are building out these power plants are looking at how they can capture CDRs or carbon to be able to sell those as additional revenue for the plant owners as it relates to building out the infrastructure to support the hyperscalers. And we've seen that with a few developers. And we've got, I think, a pathway here to hopefully announce a project or two, but one specifically in the next days, if not weeks. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:23:13Okay. Thank you. Congratulations on the progress. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:23:17Yeah. Thanks. Operator00:23:19Thank you for your questions. Our next question comes from the line of Brent Thaleman with BA Davidson. Your line is now open. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:23:30Hey. Thank you. Hey, Kenny, I want to ask just back on the Applied Digital contract, the billion and a half dollars, is that all within B&W's scope? I know this is all getting worked out, but obviously, it's a massive potential uptick to the backlog that you have today. So just wanted to kind of understand what's all in there. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:23:55Yeah. No, that billion and a half would anticipate and represent B&W's scope as associated with this project, right? B&W would bring all of the aspects and elements of the boiler and the steam capabilities, plus the construction aspect, right? We have our own construction company here in the U.S. So it'd be blended with construction, the steam turbines, and the boiler aspect of it. And then we'll work through some of the other elements to complete the plant on time and on schedule. We'll work with Applied on that. So we put it as over a billion and a half at that site. The total value could be higher depending on final scope. And we'll just have to work through that. But wanted to give some idea and indication of what it looks like from a B&W perspective. So we intended that to be our scope. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:24:46The scope of the project would be a little bit larger under that scenario. But we'll work with them to complete that once we have the NTP finalized. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:24:58Okay. Yeah. Appreciate that, Kenny. And then I guess just as a follow-up, anything you can say in terms of just risk sharing associated with it? Is this all fixed price in terms of execution? And I noticed there's an equity component that Applied Digital gets in BW. Maybe you just talk about that and whether that's going to be something that's ongoing as you look to maybe some of these other opportunities out there. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:25:28Hard to say whether that same model would exist elsewhere too early. Not saying it won't, but hard to say right now on it. We viewed it as a very positive thing. We think having those warrants out there, obviously, there's incentive for Applied to get the NTP done sooner and complete, obviously. But also there's buy-in, if you will, or support for BW overall, not only as a potential customer and client, but as a shareholder as well too. We think all of that's very much positive. And we obviously have seen that throughout some of the data center and other aspects as well too. So we view that as overall very, very positive. As far as the risk share, we're working through that right now on how that would appear to be. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:26:19And obviously, with the outside manufacturers and steam turbine companies would share a part of that risk overall as well too. And as we always do, we look to balance it. I think the biggest piece here is that, and this is what greatly reduces the risk overall to us, is that these are projects and technologies that we have performed on a multitude of other occasions. So there's no new technology being designed or installed here or implemented here. This is well-proven technology that has been installed in tens, if not dozens, of locations where B&W has actually constructed these. Obviously, we have the, I think, advantage in the U.S. having our construction company and leveraging the boilermakers who are a great welder and fabrication aspect of this on-site. But again, these are all boilers that have been built previously. So we know the performance. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:27:18We know the complexity that's involved in these, the timeframe that's involved in these, and as well as we've gone through all of the risk aspect of overseeing the manufacturing processes of these and understand how to manage that manufacturing process effectively. And we've got all the best practices and everything from each of these that we've implemented in prior periods. So this is unlike any other large project that B&W has been in historically. This one, I think, is extremely unique and opportunistic because it is something that has been done many, many times before, and there is absolutely no new technology being implemented here. So to us, that's a significant reduction in risk in that case. And the terms and conditions will all be detailed in the final notice to proceed. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:28:12Okay. Got it. Thanks, Kenny. Operator00:28:17Thank you for your questions. That will conclude our question and answer session today. I would now like to pass the call back to Sharon for any final remarks. Sharyn BrooksDirector of Communications at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:28:27Thank you for joining us. This concludes our conference call. A replay will be available for a limited time on our website later today. Operator00:28:38That concludes today's call.

PresentationSkip to Participants Operator00:00:00Good afternoon. Thank you for attending the Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises third quarter 2025 conference call. All lines will be muted during the presentation portion of the call, with an opportunity for questions and answers at the end. I would now like to turn the conference over to our host, Sharyn Brooks, B&W's Director of Communications. Thank you. You may proceed, Ms. Brooks. Sharyn BrooksDirector of Communications at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:00:22Thank you, Victoria, and thanks to everyone for joining us on Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises third quarter 2025 earnings conference call. Joining the call today are Kenny Young, B&W's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Cameron Frymyer, Chief Financial Officer, to discuss our third quarter results. During this call, certain statements we make will be forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in our safe harbor provision for forward-looking statements that can be found at the end of our earnings press release and also in our Form 10-Q that was filed this afternoon and our Form 10-K that is on file with the SEC, and provide further detail about the risks related to our business. Additionally, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Sharyn BrooksDirector of Communications at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:01:10We also provide non-GAAP information regarding certain of our historical and targeted results to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP. This information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures can be found in our third quarter earnings release published last week and in our company overview presentation filed on Form 8-K this afternoon and posted on the investor relations section of our website at babcock.com. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:01:45Thanks, Sharyn. Well, good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us today on our call. We continue to execute on our strategy to expand our global parts and services business while also focusing on large opportunities within North America and reducing a majority of our debt obligations. The increasing demand for power in North America drives our growth and aligns well with our strategy to divest certain non-core assets to significantly reduce our debt while positioning B&W to play a pivotal role in supporting AI data center expansion and increased baseload generation needs. We are pleased to report a number of positive developments this quarter at Babcock & Wilcox, both in relation to our quarterly financials as well as our recent projects and partnerships that we have completed. Adjusted EBITDA and operating income significantly outperformed company and consensus expectations this quarter. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:02:46Adjusted EBITDA was 58% higher compared to third quarter of 2024, while operating income was up 315% when compared to the same period of 2024. Our improved margins directly reflect the record quarter results for our parts and services business. During the third quarter, our global parts and services achieved the highest quarterly and year-to-date bookings, revenue, and gross profit in recent company history. Our growing backlog continues to benefit from increasing demand across projects, upgrades, and construction as power generation needs for industrials and utilities in North America continue to accelerate. In total, we saw our backlog rise 56% quarter over quarter to a total of over 393 million. Through a combination of disposition of non-core assets and equity raises, we have paid or will pay down the February 2026 notes by end of year 2025. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:03:55We also have the liquidity to pay down the December 2026 bonds, a process that we plan to begin by end of year. Over the course of the past several months and with key equity raises last week, our balance sheet has significantly improved. With this improvement, along with the tailwinds from baseload generation demands in the market, we have positioned B&W for substantial growth in 2026. We are currently projecting a range of 70 million to 85 million in EBITDA from our core business in 2026, which is 80% growth year over year from 2025. And this does not include any revenues or margin from our recently announced AI data center projects. We have been in discussions on several opportunities within the AI data center space, and we are seeing agentic AI as a new catalyst for higher power demands in the U.S. and around the world. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:05:01We are pleased to announce that we have signed a limited notice to proceed with Applied Digital to begin work for the delivery and installation of natural gas technology that will provide one gigawatt of efficient energy for an AI factory and data center project. The total project valued at full notice to proceed will be over 1.5 billion in total once finalized, and we anticipate that full notice to proceed to be released in the next few months. As a part of this deal, B&W plans to design and install four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants consisting of proven boilers and associated steam turbines to support Applied Digital's AI factory. The plant is targeted to begin operation in 2028. This technology carries equal efficiency as simple cycle turbines and can be operational much faster than combined or simple cycle power plant options. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:06:03The impact from this deal on B&W is profound, adding 3-5 billion in AI data center opportunities in our pipeline. We are also pursuing other projects and opportunities, which brings our total global pipeline to 10 to 12 billion in totality, including ClimateBright and BrightLoop. Taking a look at our BrightLoop technologies, our efforts to progress BrightLoop are moving forward as we further the commercial development of our existing projects and continue working to improve the overall operational effectiveness of these technologies to produce low-cost hydrogen or steam. We're seeing increasing activity for BrightLoop technology, both for steam generation and hydrogen production, that can produce energy with lower costs and expenditures. In fact, we're in discussions with a number of oil and gas companies and large utilities about using BrightLoop for specific steam or hydrogen generation projects. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:07:04From a ClimateBright perspective, we are seeing an increased demand to leverage carbon credits, both in waste to energy and coal to energy, as optional offtake revenues for our customers. We also are in discussions on several opportunities and believe we can announce a significant carbon capture project utilizing our SolveBright technology very soon. I'll now turn the call over to Cameron to discuss the financial details for the third quarter of 2025. Cameron? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:07:35Yeah, thanks, Kenny. I am pleased to review our third quarter results, further details of which can be found in the 10Q that is on file with the SEC. Our third quarter consolidated revenues were 149 million, which was roughly in line with the third quarter of 2024. Global parts and service remained strong in the third quarter of 2025, with revenues of 68.4 million compared to revenues of 61.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. The improvement is primarily due to the increasing need for electricity from fossil fuels driven by the demand from artificial intelligence, data centers, and expanding economies. Our net operating income in the third quarter of 2025 was 6.5 million compared to operating income of 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:08:27Loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2025 was 2.3 million compared to a loss of 7.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, and our Adjusted EBITDA was 12.6 million compared to 8 million in the third quarter of 2024, beating street expectations. As Kenny stated earlier, we have announced our 2026 full-year Adjusted EBITDA target range of 70-85 million stemming from our core business, which does not take into account any growth related to data centers. I'll now turn to our balance sheet, cash flow, and liquidity. Total debt at September 30th, 2025, was 379.3 million, consisting of 98.4 million of February 2026 bonds, 90.9 million of December 2026 bonds, and 121 million of bonds due in 2030, with the remaining debt being related to our letters of credits. As of September 30th, we had zero drawn on our asset-based loan. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:09:29The company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance of 201.1 million, giving us a net debt as of September 30th, 2025, of 178.2 million. On October 2nd, B&W paid down 70 million of bonds that were due in February of 2026, and we recently announced the remaining outstanding February 2026 bonds will be paid down fully in December of 2025. Another notable development took place last week when the company was able to raise an additional 65 million of equity, which has further strengthened our balance sheet and shows the ability to pay down the remaining of the 2026 bonds that are due in December of 2026. When factoring in our recent equity raise, this will leave us with a pro forma net debt of 113.2 million, which will be between 0.8 to 1.6 times targeted 2026 EBITDA. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:10:31Lastly, although we said on Friday that we would be pausing sales under the ATM program, we've decided to resume ATM sales and intend to sell shares under the ATM program opportunistically based on market conditions and our share price. I'll now turn the call back over to Kenny. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:10:51Cameron, thanks. Well, in closing, as always, I would just like to recognize the efforts of our dedicated and talented employees that are around the world who focus on working hard every day to meet the challenges and supporting our customers while meeting the energy demands of today. I will now turn the call back over to Victoria, who will, and I think we have time for about three questions. So, Victoria, I'll turn it back over to you. Thanks. Operator00:11:20Of course. As he said, for today's call, we will only have time for three questions. Our first question comes from the line of Aaron Spychalla with Craig-Hallum. Your line is now open. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:11:31Yeah. Yeah. Hi, Kenny and Cameron. Thanks for taking the questions. Maybe first on the $1.5 billion project, can you just talk a little bit about next steps that are needed and how you see potential contribution from a timing and margin perspective moving forward? And then just thoughts on the supply chain and kind of working capital needs as that ramps. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:11:55Sure. No, appreciate that, Aaron. Thanks for jumping on the call today. So, first of all, we're actually right now working with Applied, obviously, to finalize the exact location where this will take place and so we can finalize the full notice to proceed, which, again, as you mentioned in the comments, we anticipate being done here in the next couple of months. As part of that, we're also behind the scenes working with a few of the steam turbine generators at this point in time and have secured some verbal commitments that we have the ability to meet these timeframes. And so we'll look to finalize those details on that as well as our own manufacturing of these particular boilers. The great news, I think, in this case is that we're using, I'm going to use the term off-the-shelf. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:12:47So these 300 MW boilers are designs that we have installed at several locations prior to this event. So this is a proven technology and architecture, and so there's very little, if any, engineering that needs to be performed in order to get these to a manufacturing state. We already have the construction drawings of each of these, the fabrication diagrams, the layouts, the header layouts, the tubing, everything associated with this type of a boiler to meet the specs and standards here in the U.S. And so it's an easy method for us to move that right into the manufacturing process. And that's the exciting part here. It's a rare opportunity for us to do and utilize a design that we have implemented in many locations prior. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:13:35So we're obviously very comfortable with the standards and the performance of those boilers, easy to move into manufacturing, and leveraging the fact that we have access to the steam turbines in a much faster go-to-market model than trying to leverage a combined cycle or simple cycle turbine plant today. So that's the benefit here on that. But we're working through all of those in parallel with Applied and, again, plan to have the full notice to proceed signed here in the next couple of months. And we're working diligently behind the scenes to move the project full forward. As it relates to the working capital aspects on it, we'll work with Applied on the timing of that and how we move that forward. That'll be part of the full notice to proceed process here over the next couple of months. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:14:24Typically, for us, we typically keep the working capital on projects like this at a neutral to positive. So down payment requirements that we have with manufacturers or subcontractors are typically collected upfront on these projects and have no reason to believe it would be any different here. So we're moving forward under that direction, and Applied understands that as well. So we think that will help minimize this a little bit overall and any impacts of working capital on the company. And we should remain cash flow positive on this as we typically do on projects like this at this point in time. So that's the overall plan. As far as revenue recognition goes and margin recognition, obviously, we're a POC shop under that. It will depend on timing of when we can apply the cost to the project into next year. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:15:19Some of that will be based on the final notice to proceed and the timeframe there. So it's a little bit vague, and it won't be terribly much, I would say, in 2026. I don't know. I'm just throwing out a number. Maybe 10% 15% of the value would be realized then. The bulk of it, based on the accounting methods, would be realized more in the 2027 and obviously 2028. So based on the fact that we're still finalizing that NTP and our guidance next year, we have not included this project or any other data center projects in that 70 million-85 million range. So this would represent complete upside and probably significant upside to any number that we would be putting out right now. Cameron, I don't know if there's anything you want to add to that, but otherwise, I don't know. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:13I'll turn it back to you. Cameron FrymyerCFO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:15No, no. I think you hit all the points, Kenny. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:16:20That's very helpful. Thanks. And then maybe just second on the additional pipeline, it sounds like last week it was a billion and a half. Today, it sounds like maybe 3 billion-5 billion. So maybe some growth there. Can you just talk about how mature some of those opportunities are and potential timing of when you could see some of those move forward as well? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:16:45We are obviously in talks with several as it relates to this and have been. I want to emphasize that have been prior to this announcement in talks with several on this particular solution in different sizes, right? Meaning some would be smaller in a maybe a half-gigawatt range, some are perhaps even a little larger in a one and a half to two-gigawatt range. So there's a number of these opportunities where this solution makes the most sense from both a cost standpoint as well as delivery and timeframe standpoint. Some of that would be subject to complete availability in the manufacturing and the steam turbine side. And again, the early indications are we've got some real positive capacities there to meet this entire demand. And so on some of those, it'll be working with them to move forward, hopefully, on a couple of the other opportunities. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:17:40If we can get them to commit, I would say those would be in the next year's timeframe to announce on that regard. But we're obviously involved with these other opportunities that are out there and fully intend to push those across the goal line. That's on this solution. The other ones that we're heavily working with is related to our Denham partnership. And we are working very closely with Denham Capital right now on a number of locations to convert some coal plants to natural gas. And that's also in the works as well too. So I think we have those opportunities are within that opportunity and pipeline as well as the other natural gas and steam turbine combination that were proposed for Applied would also be in that opportunity as well. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:18:29So the combinations of all that and the sizes of those, we decided to take the pipeline up even a little bit further from last week. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:18:39That's great. Thanks for the color. And best of luck. I'll turn it over. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:18:45Thanks. Operator00:18:46Thank you for your questions. Our next question comes from the line of Rob Brown with Lake Street Capital Markets. Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:55Hi, good afternoon. Operator00:18:56How are you doing, Colonel? Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:58Good afternoon. On the ability or your capacity for that pipeline, what is your capacity sort of in this power gen segment, and how do you sort of think about capacity kind of limits there? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:19:13So there's two main components to that capacity aspect, Rob. And thanks for jumping on, by the way. There's two aspects to that. One is the manufacturing of the boiler or fabrication of the boiler. For us, that's par for the course, right? That's what we do. And we have been looking and evaluating our own internal capacities that we have today as well as our external partners that we use in various places around the world to manufacture these kinds of systems. So all of those companies are on board with this. And quite frankly, it's a volume. Many of these manufacturing and fabrication groups are comfortable and used to dealing with projects of this size. So it's just a matter of how much we can put into each location on that. And we're going through that right now. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:20:06So I would say within the pipeline that we have today, again, depending on the exact timing of some of this, we feel pretty comfortable that we can complete the manufacturing and have the capacity to do that on the boiler fabrication and manufacturing. On the steam turbine aspect of this, the good news is there's a lot more steam turbine companies than there are combined cycle and simple cycle companies out there. We can't give names right now, but we're in discussions with several and are quickly trying to move into a relationship with them that we have this capacity secured. And we believe, just based on a lot of the early conversations that we're having with these particular groups, that that capacity does exist, maybe across a couple of different manufacturers. And we'll work through that. But from a steam turbine perspective, we think these opportunities do exist. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:21:04They're obviously very excited because this is a way for them to get involved in a high-growth area for them as well too. So far, it's been full energy, if you will, across both the manufacturing side and on the steam turbine side as well. Rob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital Markets00:21:24Okay. Thank you for that. On the switching to kind of the climate right projects, I think you mentioned the CO2 capture opportunity that's developing. Can you give a little more color there on when that might happen and what the size could be? Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:21:40Yeah. So there are a few projects that we're in dialogue and discussions on. Some of these are feed studies that we always talk about feed studies out there. Feed studies, meaning front-end engineering design studies. And we have several of those going on at this case. So we're in discussions right now to finalize an opportunity and feel like that can happen fairly soon, hopefully not days, weeks at max on a project that we can put out. And order of magnitude would be in the, I'll just call it 70 million-100 million-ish in that category. I'll leave it kind of a little bit of a range there as we finalize it. But on the initial project itself, and then there's probably more opportunities and upside on that. But we are seeing in the U.S. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:22:34from some of these operators and the hyperscalers and other aspects, where a few occasions they would like to have the CDRs or the carbon offtake as and the groups that are building out these power plants are looking at how they can capture CDRs or carbon to be able to sell those as additional revenue for the plant owners as it relates to building out the infrastructure to support the hyperscalers. And we've seen that with a few developers. And we've got, I think, a pathway here to hopefully announce a project or two, but one specifically in the next days, if not weeks. Aaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group00:23:13Okay. Thank you. Congratulations on the progress. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:23:17Yeah. Thanks. Operator00:23:19Thank you for your questions. Our next question comes from the line of Brent Thaleman with BA Davidson. Your line is now open. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:23:30Hey. Thank you. Hey, Kenny, I want to ask just back on the Applied Digital contract, the billion and a half dollars, is that all within B&W's scope? I know this is all getting worked out, but obviously, it's a massive potential uptick to the backlog that you have today. So just wanted to kind of understand what's all in there. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:23:55Yeah. No, that billion and a half would anticipate and represent B&W's scope as associated with this project, right? B&W would bring all of the aspects and elements of the boiler and the steam capabilities, plus the construction aspect, right? We have our own construction company here in the U.S. So it'd be blended with construction, the steam turbines, and the boiler aspect of it. And then we'll work through some of the other elements to complete the plant on time and on schedule. We'll work with Applied on that. So we put it as over a billion and a half at that site. The total value could be higher depending on final scope. And we'll just have to work through that. But wanted to give some idea and indication of what it looks like from a B&W perspective. So we intended that to be our scope. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:24:46The scope of the project would be a little bit larger under that scenario. But we'll work with them to complete that once we have the NTP finalized. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:24:58Okay. Yeah. Appreciate that, Kenny. And then I guess just as a follow-up, anything you can say in terms of just risk sharing associated with it? Is this all fixed price in terms of execution? And I noticed there's an equity component that Applied Digital gets in BW. Maybe you just talk about that and whether that's going to be something that's ongoing as you look to maybe some of these other opportunities out there. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:25:28Hard to say whether that same model would exist elsewhere too early. Not saying it won't, but hard to say right now on it. We viewed it as a very positive thing. We think having those warrants out there, obviously, there's incentive for Applied to get the NTP done sooner and complete, obviously. But also there's buy-in, if you will, or support for BW overall, not only as a potential customer and client, but as a shareholder as well too. We think all of that's very much positive. And we obviously have seen that throughout some of the data center and other aspects as well too. So we view that as overall very, very positive. As far as the risk share, we're working through that right now on how that would appear to be. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:26:19And obviously, with the outside manufacturers and steam turbine companies would share a part of that risk overall as well too. And as we always do, we look to balance it. I think the biggest piece here is that, and this is what greatly reduces the risk overall to us, is that these are projects and technologies that we have performed on a multitude of other occasions. So there's no new technology being designed or installed here or implemented here. This is well-proven technology that has been installed in tens, if not dozens, of locations where B&W has actually constructed these. Obviously, we have the, I think, advantage in the U.S. having our construction company and leveraging the boilermakers who are a great welder and fabrication aspect of this on-site. But again, these are all boilers that have been built previously. So we know the performance. Kenny YoungChairman and CEO at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:27:18We know the complexity that's involved in these, the timeframe that's involved in these, and as well as we've gone through all of the risk aspect of overseeing the manufacturing processes of these and understand how to manage that manufacturing process effectively. And we've got all the best practices and everything from each of these that we've implemented in prior periods. So this is unlike any other large project that B&W has been in historically. This one, I think, is extremely unique and opportunistic because it is something that has been done many, many times before, and there is absolutely no new technology being implemented here. So to us, that's a significant reduction in risk in that case. And the terms and conditions will all be detailed in the final notice to proceed. Brent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson00:28:12Okay. Got it. Thanks, Kenny. Operator00:28:17Thank you for your questions. That will conclude our question and answer session today. I would now like to pass the call back to Sharon for any final remarks. Sharyn BrooksDirector of Communications at Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises00:28:27Thank you for joining us. This concludes our conference call. A replay will be available for a limited time on our website later today. Operator00:28:38That concludes today's call. Thank you for your participation and enjoy the rest of your day.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesKenny YoungChairman and CEOSharyn BrooksDirector of CommunicationsCameron FrymyerCFOAnalystsRob BrownCo-founder and Equity Research at Lake Street Capital MarketsAaron SpychallaResearch Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital GroupBrent ThielmanEquity Research Analyst at D.A.
