| And we're excited about those opportunities |
| Our third quarter consolidated revenues were $239.4 million, which is a 13% improvement compared to the third quarter of 2022 |
| We're early in that discussion, but it bodes well for us, because it's both aftermarket parts and services for our baseload power generation and thermal group |
| Revenue for the third quarter was $239 million, which is 13% improvement compared to the prior year and our third consecutive quarter of revenue expansion on a year-over-year basis |
| Our top-line improvement was led by thermal revenues then increased approximately 17% when compared to the third quarter of 2022 followed by renewable more specifically our renewable services as well as environmental revenues increasing 11% and 4% respectively |
| And we think that's an exciting development |
| Consolidated adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter was also impressive at $20 million, an improvement of $7 million or 54% when compared to the same period last year |
| While product mix was a large factor in the adjusted EBITDA performance for the quarter attributable to the higher margin nature of our aftermarket businesses, we also demonstrated strong execution on increased volumes of projects within our environmental segment |
| Our outlook for near term booking opportunities remains robust positioning as well to achieve updated backlog growth in a range of $550 million to $650 million by year-end 2023 based on continued operations, not including our reclassified assets |
| In addition, based on our improved performance of thermal parts and services and our global reach and providing clean energy technologies, we remain confident in achieving our revised full year adjusted EBITDA target from continuing operations of $85 million to $90 million in 2023 when excluding Bright Lube and Climate Bright expenses |
| And as the customers read, look at their approach to some of these technologies and the lifespan of the plants, which in the long run bodes well for us as an aftermarket provider |
| We are extremely excited about the growth opportunities ahead of us |
| So it's not necessarily a no bid or zero bid, it's just as we continue to focus will reduce the overhead down to match what we think is the hands one or two or three or whatever the projects that we think that are -- a stronger opportunity for us from a margin and cash flow standpoint, as we also increase the licensing model that we have, particularly around our waste energy technologies |
| With increasing commercial interest in our core and new technologies and global demand for our baseload power generation our market outlook remains robust, and we see the momentum and booking activity accelerating into 2024 and beyond |
| Bolstering cash flow generation and strengthening the balance sheet and utilizing federal, state and project level financing to accelerate the deployment of our Bright Lube and Climate Bright technologies |
| With the outstanding support of our extremely talented and experienced employees and the continued confidence of our customers, we're driving innovation and supporting the global transition to sustainable solutions |
| We welcome Naomi to the board and are confident her deep industry experience will prove valuable as we continue to accelerate our hydrogen strategy going forward |
| The financing, financing and strategic alignment should significantly improve our liquidity this quarter and onward |
| So those are positive ones are opportunities for us to pursue that |
| We are entering a new phase and as we execute our strategic business realignment, and we look forward to the transformation that will enhance overall margins and improve cash flows generation for the company |
| So it's caused us to or caused them to relook at some of the scope in a positive way as it relates to B&W and so we're excited about that |
| So we are excited about the opportunities in the pipeline building |
| Importantly, given our strategic business realignment, we now have increased visibility and confidence in our outlook as a significant portion of our targeted adjusted EBITDA will be generated from existing backlog with less reliance on large projects |
| Our aftermarket parts and services business and thermal and renewable typically our higher margin businesses continue to perform above our internal expectations |
| But we should be able to convert a much higher percentage than we've converted and have positive cash flow coming into the second quarter of next year |
| But secondarily, we do see an expansion opportunity on licensing, we have been licensing our waste energy technology in several markets, and that typically comes at even higher gross margins, and significantly lower amounts of letters of credit |
| Our heightened focus on producing more predictable cash flow generation is consistent with our approach to provide long term profitable growth for the company and its shareholders, ultimately driving our decision to streamline our efforts to concentrate on aftermarket businesses and capitalize on higher margin parts and service opportunities |
| And we're focused on delivering strong profitable growth for our shareholders |
| One a greater emphasis on higher margin aftermarket parts and services across all three segments, while further reducing overhead costs associated with certain large newbuild project opportunities |
| Looking ahead to next year, our focus on promoting future growth aligns with the sustained demand, we observe across all segments, paving the way for improved performance in 2024 with our announced adjusted EBITDA target range of $100 million to $110 million when excluding Bright Lube and Climate Bright |

| Plus Q1, as you know, Brent Q1 is always a slow quarter for us, as well as others in this industry |
| But those letters of credit and the interest associated with the really compresses the margins, plus, you know, additional risks |
| Our net loss per share in the third quarter was $0.18 as compared to a loss per share of $0.15 in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Our net operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Some of these delays are positive due to increased scope for B&W aftermarket services, as many utilities and large energy companies are reevaluating the timing of newbuild projects and deferring to upgrades due to higher interest rates and other geopolitical factors |
| is actually combining ammonia, either net negative or net neutral ammonia with coal-fired plants to reduce the overall CO2 offset of those coal fired plants |
| While continued operation bookings and backlog were mostly flat year-over-year |
| As a result will have taken an impairment charge of about $56.6 million and recognize contract losses of $47.9 million, which include future estimated losses, both of which are reported in discontinued operations |
| This is largely attributable to timing of new bookings, as negotiations on a few larger opportunities are taking slightly longer than anticipated |
| I assume there's less drag from certain operations as a function of this |
| I would say some of those are slipping more into Q4, maybe into 2024 |
| No problem |
| But that $100 million to $110 million EBITDA range, it's important to note and try to emphasize this that we were lessening, if you will, the reliance on large newbuild projects as it relates to that target |
| This is primarily due to the historical projects, the higher risks and the margin profiles |
