Tecnoglass, Inc. (NYSE: TGLS) (“Tecnoglass” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and associated aluminum products serving the global residential and commercial end markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

José Manuel Daes, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnoglass, commented, "We are very pleased to report another quarter of record results led by continued strong demand for our single-family residential products and further sequential growth in our commercial business. The benefit of our vertically integrated business model and highly efficient manufacturing capacity are allowing us to maintain exceptional lead times for our customers, resulting in market share gains and profitable growth. The prudent investments we have made in automation, capacity enhancements and product innovation, in addition to our disciplined cost controls, are supporting our industry-leading adjusted EBITDA margin, which remains in excess of 30%. We believe the momentum in our business and established track record of exceptional cash flow further validates Tecnoglass’ unique vertically integrated business model and strategic positioning in attractive high-growth geographies across the U.S. We are excited by the trajectory of our business and look forward to delivering on our upwardly revised outlook for the full year 2022.”

Christian Daes, Chief Operating Officer of Tecnoglass, added, “Our activity in key U.S. regions remains strong for single-family and multifamily residential projects, as well as commercial projects, evidenced by record levels of invoicing during the month of July. Ongoing market share gains helped us produce revenue growth of 86% year-over-year in our single-family residential business, with projects in the historically resilient remodel and renovation end market representing approximately 65% of that business. The commercial side of our business has continued to experience sequential growth in each month this year, with the second quarter revenues up 15% compared to the prior year quarter. Furthermore, we ended the quarter with a record backlog of multifamily and commercial projects that now extend well into 2023. We intend to continue outperforming in our markets as a supplier of choice given our ability to maintain timely deliveries that help keep customers on schedule. We are reinvesting a portion of our significant cash flow into high-return capex investments that will allow us to end the year with installed production capacity equivalent to over $800 million of revenue. The Board’s 15% increase in our dividend demonstrates their confidence in our cash flow generation to remain strong. We are well positioned to drive additional success in our Company for many years to come.”

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2022 increased 38.9% to $169.1 million, compared to $121.8 million in the prior year quarter, driven by strong growth in single-family residential activity, market share gains and the ongoing ramp up of the Company’s commercial activity. Single-family residential revenues increased approximately 86% year-over-year, representing 44.9% of total revenues for the second quarter, helped by continued strong demand within the repair and remodeling space, the ongoing expansion of the Company’s Multimax product line, and a larger customer base. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an adverse impact of $0.3 million on both Colombia revenues and total revenues in the quarter.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 grew 49.9% to $73.6 million, representing a 43.5% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $49.1 million, representing a 40.4% gross margin in the prior year quarter. The 310 basis point improvement in gross margin mainly reflected operating leverage on higher sales, greater operating efficiencies related to automation and a higher mix of revenue from manufacturing versus installation activity as Tecnoglass continues to increase its mix of single-family residential products. Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $28.1 million compared to $20.4 million in the prior year quarter, with the majority of the increase attributable to shipping expense as a result of a higher sales volume and higher shipping rates. As a percent of total revenues, SG&A improved to 16.6% compared to 16.7% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher sales and better operating leverage on personnel, professional fees and other fixed expenses.

Net income was $33.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $19.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter, including a non-cash foreign exchange transaction gain of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and a $0.2 million gain in the second quarter of 2021. As previously disclosed, these non-cash gains and losses are related to the accounting re-measurement of U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities against the Colombian Peso as functional currency.

Adjusted net income1 was $33.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to adjusted net income of $20.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income1, as reconciled in the table below, excludes the impact of non-cash foreign exchange transaction gains or losses and other non-core items, along with the tax impact of adjustments at statutory rates, to better reflect core financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA1, as reconciled in the table below, increased 51.7% to $54.6 million, or 32.3% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $36.0 million, or 29.5% of total revenues, in the prior year quarter. The improvement was driven by higher sales, a stronger gross margin and operating leverage on SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA1 included a $0.9 million contribution from the Company’s joint venture with Saint-Gobain, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Dividend

The Board of Directors of the Company today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, representing a 15% increase from the previous dividend payment. The quarterly dividend will be paid on October 31, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2022.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

The Company ended the second quarter of 2022 with total liquidity of approximately $270 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $99 million and availability under its committed revolving credit facilities of $170 million. Given the Company’s continued growth in adjusted EBITDA1 and strong cash generation, debt leverage continues to trend lower and now stands at 0.5 times LTM net debt to adjusted EBITDA1, compared to 1.1 times in the prior year quarter.

Based on the Company’s record of strong financial performance, in May 2022 the Company amended its Credit Agreement with its syndicate of banks to remove the cap on restricted payments (including stock buybacks and dividend payouts) pursuant to the Company´s leverage ratio as defined in its Credit Agreement remaining below 1.5x net debt to adjusted EBITDA1.

Full Year 2022 Outlook

Santiago Giraldo, Chief Financial Officer of Tecnoglass, stated, “The momentum in our business continued into the third quarter with single-family residential projects representing a growing share of our revenues and the commercial business continuing to grow sequentially each month through this year. Based on our current invoicing schedule and underlying market demand, we are increasing our full year 2022 outlook for revenues to grow to a range of $620 million to $640 million and for adjusted EBITDA1 to increase to a range of $208 million to $220 million. This implies adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 42% at the midpoint, putting us firmly on the path to achieve another year of record results in full year 2022.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Performance Measures to GAAP Performance Measures(In thousands)(Unaudited)

The Company believes that total revenues with foreign currency held neutral non-GAAP performance measures, which management uses in managing and evaluating the Company's business, may provide users of the Company's financial information with additional meaningful bases for comparing the Company's current results and results in a prior period, as these measures reflect factors that are unique to one period relative to the comparable period. However, these non‑GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net (loss) income to net (loss) income(In thousands, except share and per share data)(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss) income are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss) income, in addition to operating profit, net (loss) income and other GAAP measures, is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Investors should recognize that Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss) income might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the tables attached to this press release, to the extent available without unreasonable effort. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures.
