José Manuel Daes, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnoglass, commented, “We had an exceptional start to 2025, as we delivered double-digit growth across both our residential and multi-family/commercial businesses, significantly outperforming broader macroeconomic trends. Our team's commitment to operational excellence, coupled with our vertically integrated advantages, enabled us to drive strong gross margin improvement. In April, we acquired certain assets of Continental Glass Systems, a U.S.-based architectural glass and glazing company that further enhances our growth opportunities in premier commercial end markets, expands our U.S. manufacturing capabilities and enables synergies as we incorporate this business into our vertically integrated operations. We believe this asset acquisition, combined with our expanding geographic footprint, growing showroom network, and innovative suite of products, further solidifies our leading market position and ability to capture attractive project opportunities across the U.S. With a record cash position and fortified balance sheet, we remain confident in our ability to unlock shareholder value throughout 2025 and beyond.”

The Company believes that total revenues with foreign currency held neutral, which are not performance measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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. Management uses such performance measures in managing and evaluating the Company’s business. 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 non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss) income, in addition to operating profit, net (loss) income and other GAAP measures, are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because they exclude 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. Items excluded to arrive at forward-looking non-GAAP measures may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
