Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tecnoglass Inc. reported record first-quarter 2026 revenue of $249.0 million, up 12.0% year-over-year, driven by strong multi-family and commercial demand and stable single-family sales. Net income was $31.9 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, down from $42.2 million as margins compressed.

Adjusted net income was $34.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA was $61.5 million, representing a 24.7% margin. Backlog reached a record $1.36 billion, up 19.1%, and total liquidity was about $425 million. The company repurchased $16.5 million in shares and paid $6.7 million in dividends.

Tecnoglass reaffirmed its 2026 outlook for revenue of $1.06–$1.13 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $225–$245 million, while managing a new 10% U.S. tariff on finished aluminum windows through pricing and efficiency initiatives. It is also pursuing a U.S. redomiciliation and evaluating a potential U.S. manufacturing facility, including a planned $20–$25 million land purchase.

Insights

Solid top-line growth with margin pressure and ongoing strategic investments.

Tecnoglass grew Q1 2026 revenue 12.0% to $249.0M, with especially strong multi-family/commercial demand and record backlog of $1.36B up 19.1%. However, gross margin fell from 43.9% to 38.5% as aluminum, wage and mix headwinds outweighed pricing gains.

Adjusted EBITDA declined to $61.5M (24.7% margin) from $70.2M (31.6%), and net income dropped to $31.9M. Management is absorbing a new 10% U.S. tariff on finished aluminum windows via pricing effective from early May 2026 plus logistics and automation savings.

The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $1.06B–$1.13B and Adjusted EBITDA of $225M–$245M, indicating confidence in demand and mitigation plans. Planned U.S. redomiciliation and a potential U.S. plant, with $20M–$25M land spending in 2026, signal continued strategic expansion while liquidity remains strong at about $425M.

2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance $225–$245 million Full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook reaffirmed
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 of $61.5 Million, Representing 24.7% of Total Revenues"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
backlog financial
"Backlog Expanded 19.1% Year-Over-Year to a Record $1.36 Billion"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
redomiciliation regulatory
"U.S. Redomiciliation Underway to Further Align Corporate Structure with U.S. Listing"
Redomiciliation is when a company legally changes its country of incorporation while keeping the same business and assets, like moving a house to a new neighborhood but keeping the same furniture. Investors care because the company then follows a different set of laws and tax rules, which can change shareholder rights, reporting standards, dividend treatment and the ease of trading the stock, potentially affecting risk and return.
wealth tax financial
"a one-time $2.9 million expense related to a government-imposed wealth tax assessed on large corporations in Colombia"
Buy America projects regulatory
"expanding access to opportunities such as Buy America projects and quick-turnaround jobs"

Miami, FL – May 7, 2026 – 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

José Manuel Daes, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnoglass, commented, “First quarter results were in line with our expectations, with resilient performance across our key metrics reflecting the continued strength of our vertically integrated business model despite a dynamic cost environment. Demand for our product offerings remains strong, as demonstrated by another quarter of record backlog and healthy order activity, with momentum continuing into the second quarter. We continue to gain market share, supported by our differentiated platform, industry-leading margins and efficient cost structure. Our previously announced pricing actions are now in place, and the broad-based nature of industry cost pressures supports our confidence in executing these increases while preserving our competitive positioning. With a robust pipeline of value creation initiatives, a strong capital position, and further execution under our share repurchase authorization, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on our strategic objectives.”

 

Christian Daes, Chief Operating Officer of Tecnoglass, added, “We are encouraged by continued momentum across our platform. Our multi-family and commercial business delivered strong growth against our record backlog, and our single-family residential orders improved year-over-year during the quarter with solid momentum continuing into the second quarter. Our expanding dealer network and showroom footprint continue to support geographic diversification and market share gains nationwide, while our vinyl product lines are delivering incremental growth and broadening our addressable market. Backlog reached another record level, extending our multi-family and commercial pipeline visibility well into 2027. Amid the dynamic tariff landscape, our pricing initiatives and cost mitigation efforts are well underway, including logistics improvements, further automation across our operations, and ongoing supply chain optimization. We are also advancing our assessment of a proposed U.S. manufacturing initiative, with a well-located site identified and significant state and local incentives secured that strengthen the project’s potential economics if we decide to move forward based on market demand. Overall, demand across our end markets remains healthy and we believe the current environment presents opportunities to further strengthen our competitive position and capture additional market share.”

 

 

 

 

First Quarter 2026 Results

 

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 increased 12.0% to a first quarter record of $249.0 million, compared to $222.3 million in the prior year quarter. Multi-family/commercial revenues grew 20.4% year-over-year driven by continued strong activity in key markets, including growth in markets beyond Florida. Single-family residential revenues were relatively stable year-over-year, mainly reflecting the timing of order conversion into revenue, with year-over-year order growth in the first quarter remaining strong into April 2026. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates represented a $0.9 million headwind to total revenues in the quarter.

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $95.8 million, representing a 38.5% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $97.5 million, representing a 43.9% gross margin, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change in gross margin primarily reflected an unfavorable mix from a higher level of installation revenue, higher raw material costs associated with elevated U.S. aluminum costs, which represented an incremental headwind of approximately $6.4 million in the quarter, higher salary expenses related to annual minimum wage adjustments in Colombia at the beginning of each year and a strengthening of the Colombian Peso during the quarter, partly offset by stronger pricing and operating leverage on higher volume.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $50.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $42.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was partly attributable to higher personnel expenses associated with annual salary adjustments at the beginning of the year, a stronger Peso during the period, and higher transportation and commission expenses associated with revenue growth in the quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded a one-time $2.9 million expense related to a government-imposed wealth tax assessed on large corporations in Colombia to help fund certain measures aimed at addressing recent climate-related events. As a percent of total revenues, SG&A was 20.4% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 19.1% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned factors.

 

Net  income was $31.9 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $42.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter, including a non-cash foreign exchange transaction gain of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a $0.5 million loss in the first quarter of 2025. These non-cash gains and losses relate to the accounting re-measurement of U.S. Dollar-denominated assets and liabilities against the Colombian Peso as the functional currency.

 

Adjusted net income1 was $34.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to adjusted net income1 of $43.1 million, or $0.92 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, which management believes better reflects core financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA1, as reconciled in the table below, was $61.5 million, or 24.7% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $70.2 million, or 31.6% of total revenues, in the prior year quarter. The change was primarily attributable to the aforementioned factors impacting gross margin and SG&A.

 

 

 

 

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.7 million, including a build-up in inventories of U.S.-sourced aluminum as part of the Company’s supply chain resilience and tariff mitigation strategy. Capital expenditures of $17.3 million in the quarter included scheduled payments related to previously announced capacity and automation investments.

 

During the quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through an aggregate of approximately $16.5 million in share repurchases and $6.7 million in cash dividends. As of May 7, 2026, the Company had approximately $92.5 million remaining under its current share repurchase program.

 

The Company ended the first quarter of 2026 with total liquidity of approximately $425.0 million, including $91.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and over $330.0 million of availability under its revolving credit facilities, and total debt of $200.3 million.

 

Additional Updates

 

As previously reported, the Board of Directors has approved a plan to redomicile the Company from the Cayman Islands to the United States, subject to shareholder approval. If approved by shareholders, the redomiciliation is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2026. The Company believes this action will support its strategic objectives by simplifying its organizational and regulatory structure, improving the tax efficiency of dividend distributions, and broadening its potential investor base to include investors that are limited to investing in U.S.-domiciled companies. Tecnoglass will remain headquartered in Miami, Florida following the redomiciliation.

 

Also as previously disclosed, the Company is conducting a feasibility study for the potential construction of a new state-of-the-art facility in the United States. As part of this process, the Company has identified a site that meets its project specifications and has secured substantial state and local tax credits that are expected to significantly enhance the potential economics of the proposed project. The proposed facility is expected to be highly automated and designed to support future growth beyond the Company’s current installed capacity, while also diversifying the Company’s operational footprint, improving lead times and transportation costs for certain markets and product types, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and expanding access to opportunities such as Buy America projects and quick-turnaround jobs. The Company expects to complete the purchase of land for this potential facility during the second quarter, which preserves strategic flexibility as due diligence continues and does not represent a commitment to proceed with any construction, which would occur in phases based on factors such as demand, market conditions and return profiles. If ongoing due diligence yields a favorable outcome, the Company currently expects that 2026 investments related to this proposed project would be limited to the purchase of land, currently estimated at approximately $20 million to $25 million to be financed through available credit facilities..

 

Full Year 2026 Guidance

 

Santiago Giraldo, Chief Financial Officer of Tecnoglass, stated, “Based on our strong execution to start the year, we are reiterating our full year revenue outlook in the range of $1.06 billion to $1.13 billion and Adjusted EBITDA¹ outlook in the range of $225 million to $245 million. This reflects the impact of the recently implemented 10% tariff on finished aluminum window imports as previously disclosed, which is expected to be partly offset in 2026 through pricing actions effective on orders from early May forward, with additional efficiency initiatives from logistics optimization and automation underway and expected to begin contributing benefits by year end. We see a clear path to fully offsetting the impact of tariffs in 2027, when full-year pricing across both businesses and incremental automation savings are expected to be realized. We remain well-positioned to drive long-term margin expansion and continue delivering on our objectives.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Performance Measures to GAAP Performance Measures

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

 

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.
