The earnings call presents a mixed picture. Financial performance is slightly negative with a 2% revenue decline and operational inefficiencies in the Gearing segment. However, there is strong demand in wind repowering and power generation markets, and a positive outlook for heavy fabrication. The Q&A highlights supply chain issues and muted gearing demand, but also potential revenue growth from new products. No shareholder return plan was announced, which is neutral to slightly negative. Overall, the sentiment is neutral as positive developments are balanced by challenges and uncertainties.
Revenue $36.8 million, a 2% decrease year-over-year due to the absence of a large natural gas turbine aftermarket shipment in the prior year and softness in the oil and gas gearing market, partially offset by stronger shipments into the wind market.
Adjusted EBITDA $2.4 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.4%, primarily due to low capacity utilization in the Gearing segment and a lower margin mix of products sold across all three operating segments.
Orders $30.5 million, an increase of 5% year-over-year, driven by strong demand for wind repowering and power generation markets, while orders in gearing remain muted.
Heavy Fabrication Revenue $25.2 million, up 15% year-over-year, driven by increased demand for wind tower sections and repowering adapters, partially offset by slower sales of PRS units.
Gearing Revenue $6 million, down 28% year-over-year due to broad-based softness in the oil and gas gearing market, despite strength in wind and the industrial sector.
Industrial Solutions Revenue $5.6 million, down 29% year-over-year, primarily due to the timing of certain aftermarket shipments into the natural gas turbine market.
Heavy Fabrication Orders $12.4 million, up from $11.2 million year-over-year, reflecting improved demand for wind repowering projects.
Gearing Orders $8 million, down approximately $2.5 million year-over-year, but up sequentially and well above the quarterly average for the past two years.
Industrial Solutions Orders More than $10 million, surpassing the previous record of $8 million, indicating robust demand in the natural gas turbine market.
