Miami, FL, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
José Manuel Daes, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnoglass, commented, “Our team demonstrated exceptional performance in the second quarter of 2024, successfully navigating a complex macroeconomic landscape. We maintained strong momentum, capitalizing on the robust demand observed at the end of the first quarter to drive record single-family residential revenues in the second quarter. Our multi-family/commercial business improved sequentially and is expected to continue a positive trend as we move into the second half of the year and into 2025. This outlook is supported by substantial order levels in June, which contributed to another record quarter of backlog. Furthermore, our continued focus on operational efficiencies and prudent working capital management continues to yield benefits, resulting in robust cash flow generation despite the timing of seasonal tax payments made during the quarter. While we face year-over-year margin pressures from a combination of factors, particularly unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, we’re encouraged by the sequential improvement in our profitability and the reasonable stability in FX rates for the last 12 months. We remain confident in our ability to navigate the evolving market landscape and drive additional shareholder value in 2024.”
Christian Daes, Chief Operating Officer of Tecnoglass, added, “We’re proud to report another record multi-year backlog of

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Performance Measures to GAAP Performance Measures

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.
