Solid Start to Year; Backlog Up Sharply
Cicero, Ill., May 9, 2013— Broadwind Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWEN) today reported sales of $45.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, a 16% decrease compared to $54.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. The decline reflected 15% lower tower section volume as well as $4.5 million lower steel content in towers shipped and reduced gearing sales, offset by increased services revenue, which was double the prior-year first quarter.
