Miami, FL – November 6, 2023 – Tecnoglass, Inc. (NYSE: TGLS) (“Tecnoglass” or the “Company”), a leading producer of high-end aluminum and vinyl windows and architectural glass for the global residential and commercial end markets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

José Manuel Daes, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnoglass, commented, “Our record third quarter revenues and cash flow reflect strong performance in both our multi-family/commercial and single-family residential businesses as we continue to innovate and gain market share in key geographies. In this dynamic macroeconomic environment, our margins were impacted by a primarily non-cash effect related to the sharp and fast appreciation of the Colombian Peso, which on an average has partially reversed course since quarter end. Our Adjusted EBITDA¹ margin remained in excess of 30%, attributable to our strategic facility investments and disciplined cost controls. In addition, the shorter cash cycle in our growing single-family residential business, along with our prudent working capital management, allowed us to generate record cash flow from operations during the quarter. Our strong capital position has given us the ability to build additional value in our Company through our recently completed facility investments and ongoing share repurchase program, in-line with our commitment to create additional shareholder value. As we look to the remainder of the year and into 2024, we remain confident in our ability to leverage our unique vertically integrated business model and execute against our multi-pronged growth strategy.”

 

 

Christian Daes, Chief Operating Officer of Tecnoglass, added, “We had a number of highly beneficial operating and strategic updates during the quarter. Steady demand for our best-in-class, innovative products contributed to record single-family residential revenues, which continues to outperform despite a challenging environment. We experienced positive momentum in our multi-family/commercial business with backlog expanding to another record of $836 million, giving us confidence in the trajectory of this business with a solid project pipeline into 2025. With our recent entrance into vinyl windows, which represents an estimated 60% of the $26 billion architectural window market, we have already made a significant portion of the anticipated capex investments to add an incremental $300 million in annual revenues in the coming years. Our recent global headquarter relocation to Miami, FL directly aligns with over 95% of our revenues sourced from U.S. markets and has been well received by customers, employees, and other stakeholders. All of the success we are achieving in combination with the strategic steps we are taking underscore our commitment to growing our customer relationships and streamlining our operations to generate meaningful value in Tecnoglass.”

 

Third Quarter 2023 Results

 

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2023 increased 4.4% to $210.7 million compared to $201.8 million in the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in the Company’s multi-family/commercial business, growth in single-family residential business and market share gains. Single-family residential revenues increased 2% year-over-year, helped by market share gains and the continued positive demographic trends in the Company’s main markets. Multi-family/commercial revenues increased 6% year-over-year, attributable to an increase in projects which were previously put on hold in early planning stages during the pandemic, or moved into designing and permitting stages in the last 18 months given the positive demographic shifts in the Company’s main markets. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an adverse impact of $0.5 million on total revenues in the quarter.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $90.5 million, representing a 43.0% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $105.3 million, representing a 52.2% gross margin in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change in gross margin mainly reflected a non-cash 660 basis point unfavorable foreign exchange impact, related to the markup of inventory in the Company´s functional currency, due to the significant and rapid appreciation of the Colombian Peso, which strengthened approximately 20% from the beginning of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter of 2023. The majority of impacted inventory has been worked down and foreign exchange rates, on an average have partially reversed course since the end of the quarter, providing for less accounting variability in results through year end. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 was much more in line with the second quarter of 2023 and with the expectation for full year 2023 results.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $29.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $35.2 million in the prior year quarter, with the decrease attributable to lower shipping and commission expenses and a non-recurring settlement charge in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by increased corporate costs to support a larger operation. As a percent of total revenues, SG&A was 14.0% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 17.4% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower SG&A expense and better operating leverage.

 

Net income was $46.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $46.9 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter, including a non-cash foreign exchange transaction gain of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and a $0.5 million loss in the third quarter of 2022. 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 $46.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to adjusted net income of $48.0 million, or $1.01 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, was $71.3 million, or 33.8% of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $78.5 million, or 38.9% of total revenues, in the prior year quarter. The change was primarily attributable to aforementioned non-cash foreign exchange impact on gross margin, partially offset by improved SG&A leverage. Adjusted EBITDA¹ included a $0.4 million contribution from the Company’s joint venture with Saint-Gobain, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year quarter.

 

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the third quarter of 2023 was $51.3 million, primarily driven by a reduction in working capital. Capital expenditures of $24.3 million in the quarter included payments for previously purchased land for future potential capacity expansion, along with a significant portion of previously disclosed investments in facilities and operational infrastructure to enter the vinyl window market. Given the Company´s increase in installed capacity, a meaningful decrease in capital expenditures is expected for 2024.

 

During the quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through $8.9 million in share repurchases and $4.3 million in cash dividends. The Company repurchased an additional $11.2 million of stock after the quarter end and as of November 6, 2023, had approximately $30 million remaining under the current repurchase program.

 

The Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with total liquidity of approximately $289.0 million, including $119.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $170.0 million of availability under its revolving credit facilities. Given the Company’s strong cash generation, net debt leverage remained near a record low level of 0.2x net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA¹, compared to 0.4x in the prior year quarter.

 

Full Year 2023 Outlook

 

Santiago Giraldo, Chief Financial Officer of Tecnoglass, stated, “We see our business performing exceptionally well in a challenging market with share gains driving double-digit organic growth, strong Adjusted EBITDA margins and substantial cash flow year-to-date. With the positive trajectory of our business backed by a strong backlog in multi-family/commercial projects and significant white space for our residential expansion, we are moderating our full year revenue outlook based on updated visibility on the timing of project deliveries through year end. We expect 2023 revenues to grow organically to a range of $835 million to $848 million, representing approximately 17% growth at the midpoint. Combined with the impact of the unfavorable non-cash foreign currency effect on inventories during the third quarter, which is now mostly behind us, and the expectation for a higher mix of installation revenues during the rest of the year, we are modifying our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA¹ to be in the range of $300 million to $308 million, representing growth of approximately 14% at the midpoint. The implied Adjusted EBITDA¹ margin of approximately 36% at the midpoint assumes a full year gross margin in the range of 47% to 49%, driving strong free cash flow into year end. Our backlog of multi-family/commercial projects has accelerated and our single-family residential expansion strategy continues to gain traction, which gives us confidence that 2024 will be another year of double-digit growth at attractive margins with significant cash flow generation.”

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.

 

A reconciliation of Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G follows, with amounts in thousands:
