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, 2020. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements in the Form 10-K 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 utilized 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”), 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, if it is determined it is not, 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.

TGI and certain wholly owned subsidiaries with functional currency different than the U.S. dollar have long-term intercompany loan balances denominated in foreign currencies that are remeasured at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Such loan balances are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future. Any gains and losses relating to these loans are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions are settled.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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). The FASB issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 during the fourth quarter of 2019 that postponed the effective date to the year beginning after December 15, 2022. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), which amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 (SAB119) which contains interpretative guidance from the SEC aligned to the FASB’s ASC 326. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of these ASUs on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company through December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. – Revenues, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Disaggregation of Total Net Sales

The Company disaggregates its sales with customers by revenue recognition method for its only segment, as the Company believes these factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows.

 Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents geographical information about revenues.

 Schedule of Segment Reporting Information By Segment

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. In addition, 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 long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The table below presents the components of net contract assets (liabilities).

Schedule Of Contract With Customer Asset And Liability

The components of contract assets are presented in the table below.

 Schedule of Contract With Customer Asset And Liability

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $370 and $1,649 of sales related to its contract liabilities at January 1, 2020, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $267.3 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of firm orders minus sales recognized from inception to date. Remaining performance obligations exclude unexercised contract options, verbal commitments, Letters of Intent or written mandates, and potential orders under basic ordering agreements. The Company expects to recognize 100% of sales relating to existing performance obligations within three years, of which $101.0 million are expected to be recognized during the year ending December 31, 2021, and $166.3 million during the year ending December 31, 2022 or thereafter.

Note 6. Debt

The Company’s debt is comprised of the following:

 Schedule of Debt

On October 2020, the Company entered into a $300 million five-year term Senior Secured Credit Facility consisting of a $250 million delayed draw term loan and a $50 million committed revolving credit facility which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR, with a 0.75% floor, plus a spread of between 2.50% and 3.50%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The effective interest rate for this credit facility including deferred issuance costs is 4.37%. In December 2020, we drew $23.1 million and used the proceeds of the long-term debt facility to repay several credit facilities. In January 2021, we drew an additional $220 million and used the proceeds to redeem the Company’s existing $210 million unsecured senior notes, which had an interest rate of 8.2% and matured in 2022. In relation to this, the Company accounted for debt extinguishment cost of $11.1 million which included a call premium charge of $8.6 million paid to exercise the call option, and $2.3 million non-cash expenses corresponding to the unamortized portion of deferred cost of financing related to fees paid when the unsecured senior notes were originated in 2017. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter and based on Tecnoglass’ leverage ratio as of June 30, 2021, the interest rate spread on the Company’s $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility continues to be at the lowest part of the grid, equivalent to a spread of 2.50%.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all assets of the company are pledged as collateral for the $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility. This credit facility also includes covenants to maintain certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios with which the Company is in full compliance.

The Company was obligated under various finance leases under which the aggregate present value of the minimum lease payments amounted to $222 and $350 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In line with this, the Company recorded right-of-use assets related to computing equipment for $184 and $321 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 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 1.3 years. The right-of-use assets’ depreciation and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Maturities of long-term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of June 30, 2021:

 Schedule of Maturities of Long Term Debt

The Company’s loans have maturities ranging from a few weeks to 5 years. Our credit facilities bear an interest at a weighted average of rate 3.25% as of June 30, 2021  .

Note 7. Hedging Activity and Fair Value Measurements

Hedging Activity

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we entered into several foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Colombian Peso and the U.S. Dollar. Our contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted Colombian Peso denominated costs and expenses.

Guidance under the Financial Instruments Topic 825 of the Codification requires us to record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings.

 As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of foreign currency collar contracts was not measured since we currently do not have any open contracts, with the last settlements taking place in January and February 2021.

We assess the effectiveness of our foreign currency collar contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the collar contracts to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our foreign currency collar contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of gains, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive income” line item in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, were reclassified to earnings during the first quarter of 2021 for $185.

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges classified in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, are as follows:

 Schedule of Fair Value of Foreign Currency Hedges (Details)

The ending accumulated balance for the foreign currency collar contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, was $159 as of December 31, 2020, comprised of a derivative gain of $230 and an associated net tax liability of $71.

The following table presents the gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments, and their classifications within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three and six months ended June 2021:
