Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and could differ materially. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, and are of a normal, recurring nature.

The Company has one operating segment, Architectural Glass and Windows, which is also its reporting segment, comprising the design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and installation of high-specification architectural glass and window product sold to the construction industry.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI, its subsidiaries Tecnoglass S.A.S (“TG”), C.I. Energía Solar S.A.S E.S. Windows (“ES”) and ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”), Tecno RE LLC (“Tecno RE”), GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”), Componenti USA LLC (“Componenti”) and ES Metals SAS (“ES Metals”), which are entities in which we have a controlling financial interest because we hold a majority voting interest. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation, including unrealized intercompany profits and losses. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in affiliates and other joint ventures over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.
Non-controlling interest
When the Company owns a majority of a subsidiary’s stock, the Company includes in its condensed consolidated Financial Statements the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income is equal to the non-controlling proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income and, as included in Shareholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is equal to the non-controlling proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets.
Foreign Currency Translation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency. Some of our foreign subsidiaries’ local currency is the Colombian Peso, which is also their functional currency as determined by the analysis of markets, costs and expenses, assets, liabilities, financing and cash flow indicators. As such, our subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with equity being translated at the historical rates. Revenues and expenses of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments from this process are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, the U.S. Dollar value of these items in our financial statements fluctuates from period to period.
Also, exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains and losses.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling as product revenues. The Company records and presents shipping and handling costs in selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $4,714 and $3,764, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $9,024 and $8,496 respectively.
Dividends Payable
The company accounts for its dividend declared as a liability under ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity since the shareholders have the option to elect cash or stock and reclassifies from dividend payable to additional paid-in capital when shareholders elect a stock dividend instead of cash. The dividend payable is not subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date since the dividend is a fixed monetary amount known at inception and thus no change in fair value adjustment is necessary.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the allowance for credit losses accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The new model is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, thereby bringing consistency in accounting treatment across different types of financial instruments and requiring consideration of a broader range of variables when forming loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, (with early application permitted). During 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 with Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards Implemented
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP) and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company is the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019.
The Company did not adjust the comparative periods presented as the FASB provided entities the option to instead apply the provisions of the new leases guidance using the modified retrospective application approach. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which allowed the company to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and direct costs. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified, primarily for certain equipment leases that are month-to-month leases. This means, for those leases, we did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets.
We have identified and analyzed our lease portfolio and evaluated the new reporting and disclosure requirements of the new guidance, and our lease-related processes and internal controls. The adoption of this standard had no material impact to the Company’s financial statements, as, under prior guidance, we had recognized capital leases which correspond to the right-of-use asset and lease liability described under the new guidance. This standard does not have a significant impact on our liquidity or on our debt covenant compliance under our current agreements.
As of January 1, 2019, the Company had $378 finance lease right-of-use assets related to computing equipment and a lease liability for $380 on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $682 finance lease right-of-use assets related to computing equipment and a lease liability for $650 on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The lease agreements include terms to extend the lease, however the Company does not intend to extend its current leases. The weighted average remaining lease term approximates 2.8 years. The right-of-use assets are depreciated and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2019 the Company had a commitment for $102 under operating leases related to short term apartment leases, installation equipment and computing equipment which expire during the current year that have not been capitalized due to their short-term nature. Rental expense from these leases is recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement as incurred. Finance lease costs, including amortization of the right-of-use assets and interest expense, short term lease cost, and related cashflows have not been material as of June 30, 2019.
Leases Accounting Policy
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We include finance lease right-of-use assets as part of property and equipment and the lease liability as part of our current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leases considered short-term are not capitalized, given our election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases, but instead considered operating leases and the resulting rental expense is recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as incurred.
Finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Note 3. – Long-term Investments
Saint-Gobain Joint Venture
On January 11, 2019, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino Holdings S.A.S (“Vidrio Andino”), a Colombia-based subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. (“Saint-Gobain”). The purchase price for our interest in this entity was $45 million, of which $34.1 was paid in cash, and $10.9 million is to be paid with a piece of land near our existing facility in Barranquilla. The land will be contributed on our behalf by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, José M. Daes and Christian T. Daes in exchange for cash or shares of the Company and subject to an external valuation to support an arm´s length transaction. The land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect to carry significant efficiencies for us once it becomes operative. Vidrio Andino’s float glass plant located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, has been one of our main suppliers of raw glass. We believe this transaction will solidify our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs.
On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino with a cash payment of $34.1 million, and the land still to be contributed by January 2020, as per the agreement. As of that date the Company recorded the investment within Long-term assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for $45.0 million and a liability for $10.9 million within current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance to be settled with the contribution of the aforementioned piece of land. Since the date of the acquisition, we have recognized the proportional share of Vidrio Andino’s net income using the equity method on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income as the Company is deemed to have significant influence, but does not have effective control of Vidrio Andino.
Establishment of a new subsidiary
In April 2019, ESMetals, a Colombian entity in which the Company has 70% equity interest began operations. ESMetals serves as a metalwork contractor to supply the Company with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy. When the company owns a majority (but less than 100%) of a subsidiary’s stock, the Company includes in its Consolidated Financial Statements the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income and, as included in Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. In determining the fair value we used the income approach and the market approach which was performed by third party valuation specialists under management.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets represent accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts with customers that have been recorded as sales, but have not been billed to customers and are classified as current and a portion of the amounts billed on certain fixed price contracts that are withheld by the customer as a retainage until a final good receipt of the complete project to the customers satisfaction. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue, and represent amounts received in excess of sales recognized on contracts. The Company classifies advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred as current, and deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the expected timing of sales recognition. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The non-current portion of contract liabilities is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The table below presents the components of net contract assets (liabilities).

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had $261,730 and $242,106 of debt denominated in US Dollars with the remaining amounts denominated in Colombian Pesos.
The Company had $5,070 and $5,037 of property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral for various lines of credit as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
On May 2, 2019, the Company closed a $30 million five-year term debt facility with Banco de Crédito del Perú and Banco Sabadell which bears interest at Libor +2.95%. Proceeds from this long-term debt facility were used towards refinancing short-term debt and partially supporting expected capital expenditure needs for capacity expansion and the automatization of some of our processes. This facility also contains a covenant requiring that the company maintain certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios with which the Company is in compliance as of June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company was obligated under various leases under which the aggregate present value of the minimum lease payments amounted to $650. Differences between lease obligations and the value of property, plant and equipment under capital lease arises from differences between the maturities of capital lease obligations and the useful lives of the underlying assets.
Maturities of long-term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of June 30, 2019:
2020 | $ | 12,411 | |||
2021 | 5,508 | ||||

Thereafter | 4,901 | ||||
Total | $ | 267,077 |
The Company’s loans have maturities ranging from a few weeks to 10 years. Our credit facilities bear interest at a weighted average of rate 7.5%.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
13 |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and advances from customers approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities. The Company bases its fair value estimate for long term debt obligations on its internal valuation that all debt is floating rate debt based on current interest rates in Colombia.
As of June 30, 2019, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 7 - Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted with our average cost of debt which is based on market rates, which are level 2 inputs.
The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long-term debt:
June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||||
Fair Value | 266,223 | 234,163 | |||||||
Carrying Value | 250,234 | 220,709 |
Note 9. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns for TG, ES and ES Metals in the Republic of Colombia. On December 28, 2018, a tax reform was implemented in Colombia which decreased the corporate income tax rate to 33% for fiscal year 2019, 32% for fiscal year 2020, 31% for fiscal year 2021 and 30% for fiscal year 2022, in comparison with a tax rate of 37% for 2018.
GM&P, Componenti and ESW LLC are U.S. entities based in Florida subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The estimated combined state and federal income tax rate is estimated at a rate of 26.5% based on the recently enacted U.S. Tax Reform. Tecnoglass Inc. as well as all the other subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands do not currently have any tax obligations.

Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity
Dividends
The Company originally authorized the payment of four regular quarterly dividends to holders of ordinary shares at a quarterly rate of $0.125 per share, or $0.50 per share on an annual basis, with the first quarterly dividend being paid on November 1, 2016. The dividends were payable in cash or ordinary shares, at the option of the holders of ordinary shares. On May 11, 2017, the Company announced that commencing with the declared quarterly dividend for the third quarter of 2017 through any future dividends to be declared and paid through the second quarter of 2018, a 12% increase to $0.14 per share, or $0.56 per share on an annual basis would apply. The Company has continued paying quarterly dividends at this rate through the second quarter of 2019.
As a result, the Company has declared dividends for $12,389 as of June 30, 2019 and recorded a dividend payable amounting to $1,379 as of June 30, 2019. The Company issued 1,214,023 shares for the share dividends resulting in $9,578 being credited to Capital and paid $2,170 in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The Company analyzed the accounting guidance under ASC 505 and determined that this guidance is not applicable since the dividend are shares of the same class in which each shareholder is given an election to receive cash or shares. As such, the Company analyzed the dividend under ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and concluded that the dividend should be accounted for as a liability since the dividend is a fixed monetary amount known at inception. A reclassification from dividend payable to additional paid-in capital was done for the stock dividend elections.
Dividend declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.
Follow-on Equity Offering
On March 25, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,000,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $7.00 per share. As a result of this offering, the Company received a net amount of $33,050 after deducting underwriting and other related fees, which were credited to share capital and additional paid in capital.
Additionally, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 ordinary shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, which option was exercised on April 3, 2019 with respect to 551,423 ordinary shares.
Proceeds from the offering were subsequently used to complete the joint venture transaction with Saint-Gobain discussed in Note 3. Vidrio Andino Acquisition.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $25,141 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier before May 2026.
General Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the regular course of business. Some disputes are derived directly from our construction projects, related to supply and installation, and even though deemed ordinary, they may involve significant monetary damages. We are also subject to other type of litigations arising from employment practices, worker’s compensation, automobile claims and general liability. It is very difficult to predict precisely what the outcome of these litigations might be. However, with the information at our disposition as this time, there are no indications that such claims will result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Management concluded that no additional subsequent events required disclosure other than those disclosed in these financial statements.

Overview
We are a vertically-integrated manufacturer, supplier and installer of architectural glass, windows and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction markets. With a focus on innovation, combined with providing highly specified products with the highest quality standards at competitive prices, we have developed a leadership position in each of our core markets. In the United States, which is our largest market, we were ranked as the second largest glass and metal fabricator in 2018 by Glass Magazine. In addition, we believe we are the leading glass transformation company in Colombia. Based on our analysis of third-party industry sources we had an estimated market share of over 45% of the Colombian market in 2017. Our customers, which include developers, general contractors or installers for hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, airports, universities, hospitals and multi-family and residential buildings, look to us as a value-added partner based on our product development capabilities, our high-quality products and our unwavering commitment to exceptional service.
We have more than 30 years of experience in architectural glass and aluminum profile structure assembly, we transform a variety of glass products, including tempered safety, double thermo-acoustic and laminated glass. Our finished glass products are installed in a wide variety of buildings across a number of different applications, including floating facades, curtain walls, windows, doors, handrails, interior and bathroom spatial dividers. We also produce aluminum products such as profiles, rods, bars, plates and other hardware used in the manufacturing of windows.
Our products are manufactured in a 2.7 million square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Barranquilla, Colombia that provides easy access to North, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Our products can be found on some of the most distinctive buildings in these regions including El Dorado Airport (Bogota), 50 United Nations Plaza (New York), Trump Plaza (Panama), Icon Bay (Miami), and Salesforce Tower (San Francisco). Our track record of successfully delivering high profile projects has earned us an increasing number of opportunities across the United States, evidenced by our expanding backlog and overall revenue growth.
Our structural competitive advantage is underpinned by our low-cost manufacturing footprint, vertically integrated business model and geographic location. Our integrated facilities in Colombia and distribution and services operations in Florida provide us with a significant cost advantage in both manufacturing and distribution, and we continue to invest in these operations to expand our operational capabilities. Our lower cost manufacturing footprint allows us to offer competitive prices for our customers, while also providing innovative, high quality and high value-added products, together with consistent and reliable service. We have historically generated high margin organic growth based on our position as a value-added solutions provider for our customers.
18 |
We have a strong presence in the Florida market, which represents a substantial portion of our revenue stream and backlog. Our success in Florida has primarily been achieved through sustained organic growth, with further penetration now taking place into other highly populated areas of the United States. As part of our strategy to become a fully vertically integrated company, we have supplemented our organic growth with some recent acquisitions that have allowed us added control over our supply chain. In March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest installation customer. In 2016, we completed the acquisition of ESW, which gave us control over the distribution of products into the United States from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia. These acquisitions allowed for further vertical integration of our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the United States. Furthermore, on May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, solidifying our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs.
The continued diversification of the group’s presence and product portfolio is a core component of our strategy. In particular, we are actively seeking to expand our presence in United States outside of Florida. We also launched a residential windows offering which, we believe, will help us expand our presence in the United States and generate additional organic growth. We believe that the quality of our products, coupled with our ability to price competitively given our structural advantages on cost, will allow us to generate further growth in the future.

Comparison of quarterly periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
The Company’s operating revenues increased $24.9 million or 28.0% from $89.0 million to $113.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
The increase was driven by sales in the U.S. markets, which increased $29.5 million or 42.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. A portion of the Company’s sales growth in the American market have been driven by our Elite and Prestige lines aimed towards residential markets, in which we did not actively participate prior to 2017. U.S. revenues contributed 87.2% and 78.5% of total sales during the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in U.S revenues is aligned with our strategy to penetrate new geographical and end markets.
This growth more than offset a slowdown of sales in the Colombian market, which went from $15.6 million to $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the Colombian market sales was mostly related to reduced activity in the construction industry, following a two-year period of economic slowdown, which we expect to undergo a slow recovery in the near and mid-term future.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased $14.2 million, or 57.6% to $38.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $24.6 million during the same period of 2018. Gross profit margins improved to 34.1% during the second quarter of 2019, from 27.7% during the second quarter of 2018. The margin enhancement is mainly related to economies of scale, enforcing tight cost control over fixed costs and higher sales, along with a mix of business with a smaller portion of revenues being derived from installation work, which carries a lower gross profit margin as a whole.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased $3.6 million, or 20.9%, from $17.0 million to $20.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. This was primarily related to $0.9 million higher shipping expense, which increased 25% from $3.8 million to $4.7 million as a result of higher sales. Additionally, provision of trade accounts receivable expense amounted to $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2019, compared with a net recovery of previously provisioned amounts for $0.5 million during 2018. Sales commissions increased $0.6 million related to a higher overall amount of sales during the quarter, primarily related to sales of our Elite and Prestige product lines aimed towards residential U.S. markets.
19 |
Non-operating Income
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded net non-operating income of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Non-operating income is comprised primarily of income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $1.2 million associated with foreign currency transactions. Most of this impact is associated with the remeasurement of a net liability position of $152.0 million U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company’s subsidiaries with the Colombian peso as their functional currency during a period in which the Colombian peso depreciated by 1%. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net loss of $8.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 while the Colombian peso depreciated 5.4% during the quarter.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $5.8 million and $5.4 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 7.4% increase in interest expense is related to a proportional increase of 13% in the Company’s total debt at June 30, 2019 compared with June 30, 2018 to support its ongoing growth.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $7.7 million compared to a net loss of $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Comparison of six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
The Company’s operating revenues increased $44.9 million or 25.5% from $176.1 million to a record $221.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The increase was driven by sales in the U.S. markets, which increased $58.5 million or 44.0% in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. A portion of the Company’s sales growth in the American market have been driven by our Elite and Prestige lines aimed towards residential markets, in which we did not actively participate prior to 2018. U.S. revenues contributed 86.6% and 75.4% of total sales during the first half of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in U.S revenues is aligned with our strategy to penetrate new geographical and end markets.
This growth more than offset a slowdown of sales in the Colombian market, which went from $37.4 million to $24.7 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the Colombian market sales was mostly related to reduced activity in the construction industry, following a two-year period of economic slowdown, which we expect to undergo a slow recovery in the near and mid-term future.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased $19.3 million, or 37.6% to $70.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $51.4 million during the same period of 2018. Gross profit margins improved to 32.0% during the first half of 2019, from 29.2% during the first half of 2018. The margin enhancement is mainly related to economies of scale, enforcing tight cost control over fixed costs over higher sales.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased $4.5 million, or 13.2%, from $33.8 million to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The increase was related, in part, to $1.0 million higher sales commissions related to a higher overall amount of sales during the quarter, especially related to sales of our Elite and Prestige product lines aimed towards residential U.S. markets, a $0.9 million increase in provision of trade accounts receivable expense, which amounted to $0.5 million during the first half of 2019, compared with a net recovery of previously provisioned amounts for $0.4 million during 2018. Shipping expense increased $0.5 million, or 6.2%, despite higher sales growth, through our efforts for efficient logistics favoring maritime freights and minimizing costlier land transportation. Additionally, the Company recorded $0.5 million incremental personnel expense, mostly to strengthen our sales force to support growth. The US Steel and Aluminum Tariff levied during the second quarter of 2018 resulted in an increase of $0.4 during the six-month period as the tariff was in effect during the full term in the first half of 2019.
21 |
Non-operating Income
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded net non-operating income of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Non-operating income is comprised primarily of income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $2.1 million associated to foreign currency transactions. Most of this impact is associated to the remeasurement of a net liability position of $152.0 million U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company’s subsidiaries with the Colombian peso as their functional currency during a period in which the Colombian peso appreciated 1%. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net gain of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 while the Colombian peso appreciated 2%.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $11.3 million and $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 9% increase in interest expense is related to a proportional increase of 13% in the Company’s total debt at June 30, 2019 compared with June 30, 2018 to support its ongoing growth.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $15.0 million compared to $6.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $47.7 million and $33.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the main source of cash was derived from its operations, an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,551,423 ordinary shares, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $36.5 million, and proceeds from a $30 million long-term syndicate loan facility further described below under “Cash Flow from Operations, Investing and Financing Activities”. While operating cashflow supported strong growth during the period, proceeds from the equity issuance were used to finance our joint venture with Saint-Gobain. The new syndicate facility was mainly used to reprofile debt into a longer tenor and a lower interest rate.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $15.8 million of borrowings available under several facilities with relationship banks, as most of the outstanding balances under such lines were repaid with the long-term syndicate loan facility issued in April of this year.
Capital Resources
On January 11, 2019, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino Holdings S.A.S, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain. The purchase price for our interest in this entity was $45 million, $34.1 million were paid in cash, and a $10.9 million lot of land near our facility in Barranquilla, which will be contributed on our behalf by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, José M. Daes and Christian T. Daes with a third-party valuation to be conducted. Vidrio Andino’s float glass plant located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, had been one of our main suppliers of raw glass. We believe this transaction solidifies our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs. The acquisition was consummated on May 3, 2019, and under the joint venture agreement, Saint Gobain will retain a majority ownership position and will have control over the operations of Vidrio Andino Holdings SAS and as such, the transaction is being accounted for under the equity method.
The joint venture agreement also includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our main manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12.5 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021.
Additionally, the Company is carrying out enhancements at its glass and aluminum facilities to increase production capacity and automate operations. The Company anticipates that these high return investments will speed up production processes in response to strong customer demand, especially for aluminum products. The Company expects to improve efficiency in its glass production by automating certain processes to increase capacity on the transformed glass tempering lines by approximately 2.5 times, while reducing material waste and overall lead times. In its aluminum operations, the Company intends to benefit from a 25% increase in capacity and favorable operating leverage with the addition of an aluminum furnace and a new extrusion line, along with working capital improvements through the automation of warehousing systems. The Company completed this aluminum capacity expansion in the middle of July of 2019 and expects the full implementation of its automation initiatives by the end of 2019, with a total anticipated investment of approximately $20 million with this funding being executed since the end of 2018 and expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2020 (as some payments are expected post completion based on certain performance conditions). The Company expects to continue funding these capital investments mainly with cash on hand.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 operating activities generated $9.0 million, in contrast to a use of $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
While growing sales 25.5% year-over-year during the first half of 2019, the Company was able to generate cashflow from operating activities through careful management of inventories, receivables and better supplier terms. The main source of operating cashflow during the first half of 2019 was trade accounts payable, generating $8.6 million, in contrast with a use of $2.3 million in 2018, mostly related to more purchases of raw materials to supply our growing operation. Despite this, inventory levels have remained relatively stable and even generated moderate $2.1 million as a result of our efforts to streamline our vertically integrated operation and speed up inventory turnover.
Main use of cash within operating activities was trade accounts receivable, which used $16.8 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Despite the nominal balance of receivables increasing as of June 30, 2019 relative to fiscal year end, Days Sales Outstanding ratio remained flat, at 90 days as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Comparably, trade accounts receivable used $4.0 million during the first half of 2018. Contract assets and liabilities used $9.8 million, as per industry common practice, retainage receivables associated with installation work, are built up throughout the life of a project and released upon completion. Comparably, contract assets and liabilities used $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The main source of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was from Financing Activities, which generated $53.3 million. In March, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,551,423 ordinary shares, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $36.5 million. Additionally, the Company generated proceeds of debt for $36.7 million, mostly related to a $30 million five year term facility, proceeds which were mostly used to repay then existing short-term debt the Company had accumulated to fund working capital required to support nine quarters with consecutive quarter-over-quarter sales growth. Net of repayments, we generated $19.0 million from debt while continuing the decrease of its leverage metrics given the Company´s continued growth and income from operations.
The Company used $47.9 million and $11.2 million in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Main use of cash in investing activities was a payment for the acquisition of 25.8% equity interest in Vidrio Andino Holding, a joint-venture with Saint-Gobain described above under Capital Resources. Additionally, during the first half of 2019, the company paid $13.8 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with $1.4 million acquired under credit, amount to total Capital Expenditures of $15.2 million as part of our high return investment plan further described above in the Capital Resources section.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We performed an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of Tecnoglass, Inc.´s design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the material weakness described on our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2019. Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting referenced above, we believe the consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for each of the periods presented herein.
We identified and disclosed a material weakness in the accounting for income taxes as of December 31, 2018, and have started to design and implement certain remediating controls gradually. We intend to continue our remediation plan to address the material weakness.
We currently have most of our enhanced review procedures and documentation standards in place and operating. Our main objective is to remediate this material weakness by the end of fiscal year 2019, in order to have enough opportunities to conclude, through our testing, that the enhanced monitoring and control activities are operating effectively as of year-end.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
