SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•

the potential impact of the Coronavirus on our business and results of operations;

•

growth of the wind energy market and our addressable market;

•

the potential impact of the increasing prevalence of auction-based tenders in the wind energy market and increased competition from solar energy on our gross margins and overall financial performance;

•

our future financial performance, including our net sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve or maintain profitability;

•

changes in domestic or international government or regulatory policy, including without limitation, changes in trade policy;

•

the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs;

•

our ability to attract and retain customers for our products, and to optimize product pricing;

•

our ability to effectively manage our growth strategy and future expenses, including our startup and transition costs;

•

competition from other wind blade and wind blade turbine manufacturers;

•

the discovery of defects in our products and our ability to estimate the future cost of warranty campaigns and product recalls;

•

our ability to successfully expand in our existing wind energy markets and into new international wind energy markets, including our ability to expand our field service inspection and repair services in wind energy markets;

•

our ability to successfully open new manufacturing facilities and expand existing facilities on time and on budget;

•

the impact of the accelerated pace of new product and wind blade model introductions on our business and our results of operations;

•

our ability to successfully expand our transportation business and execute upon our strategy of entering new markets outside of wind energy;

•

worldwide economic conditions and their impact on customer demand;

•

our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property;

•

our ability to comply with existing, modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business, including the imposition of new taxes, duties or similar assessments on our products;

•

the attraction and retention of qualified employees and key personnel;

•

our ability to maintain good working relationships with our employees, and avoid labor disruptions, strikes and other disputes with labor unions that represent certain of our employees;

•

our ability to procure adequate supplies of raw materials and components to fulfill our wind blade volume commitments to our customers; and

•

the potential impact of one or more of our customers becoming bankrupt or insolvent, or experiencing other financial problems.

These forward-looking statements are only predictions. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to materially differ from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We have described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 2, 2020 the principal risks and uncertainties that

we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as guarantees of future events.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or developments after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of our management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2020, and the results of our operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full years. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held at each reporting date.

This standard was effective for all public business entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which primarily removes specific exemptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP and improves the financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP.

We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

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 provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022.

We are currently evaluating our contracts and the optional expedients provided by the new standard.

Most of our net sales are made directly to our customers, primarily large multi-national wind turbine manufacturers, under our long-term contracts which are typically five years in length.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of the amount of revenue recognized over time for performance obligations in production where control has transferred to the customer but the contract does not yet allow for the customer to be billed. Typically, customers are billed when the product finishes production and meets the technical specifications contained in the contract. The time it takes to produce a single blade is typically between 5 to 7 days. The time it takes to produce a mold is typically between 3 to 6 months. The contract assets are recorded as current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of revenue earned. These amounts were historically recorded as customer deposits which usually relate to progress payments received as precision molding and assembly systems were being manufactured. The contract liabilities are recorded as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reduced as we record revenue over time.

These contract assets and liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period, as demonstrated in the table below.

Contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2020			2019			$ Change
	(in thousands)
Gross contract assets	$	214,586		$	170,973		$	43,613

Less: reclassification to contract assets		(3,017	)		(4,458	)		1,441
Contract liabilities	$	2,010		$	3,008		$	(998	)

Contract assets increased by $45.1 million from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 due to incremental unbilled production, which includes materials acquired under long-term contracts, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Contracts liabilities decreased by $1.0 million from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 due to the revenue earned related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades being produced exceeding the amounts billed to customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized no revenue and $3.0 million of revenue, respectively, related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades, which were included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price for which work has not been performed and excludes any unexercised contract options. The transaction price includes estimated variable consideration as determined based on the estimated production output within the range of the contractual guaranteed minimum volume obligations and production capacity.

As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $3.8 billion. We estimate that we will recognize these remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows:

	$		% of Total
	(in thousands)
Year Ending December 31,
Remainder of 2020	$	448,348		11.9	%
2021		1,609,674		42.5	%
2022		1,095,947		29.0	%
2023		554,245		14.6	%
2024		75,954		2.0	%
Total remaining performance obligations	$	3,784,168		100.0	%

The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations excludes approximately $178.0 million of variable consideration over the contractual guaranteed minimum volume obligations under current contracts with customers which has been constrained primarily due to uncertainty associated with production volume during the remaining term of the agreements. We estimate the constraint will be resolved in subsequent periods when our customers provide additional information relevant to forecasted future production.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods increased by $14.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, as compared to decreases of $3.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2019. The current year increase primarily related to changes in certain of our estimated total contract values and related direct costs to complete the performance obligations.

Note 3. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Our revenues and receivables are earned from a small number of customers. As such, our production levels are dependent on these customers’ orders. See Note 13, Concentration of Customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our operations and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to reduced production levels at a majority of our manufacturing facilities primarily during the first and second quarters of 2020 as a result of certain applicable government-mandated stay at home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demands from certain of our labor unions to suspend or reduce production and general safety concerns of our associates. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, most of our manufacturing facilities had returned to operating at or near normal production levels. For the third quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact on our operations and results of operations.

However, several of our manufacturing facilities are operating in regions with high levels of reported COVID-19 positive cases. As such, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at these manufacturing facilities or at our other manufacturing facilities to the extent there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities.

We maintain our U.S. cash in bank deposit and money market accounts that, at times, exceed U.S. federally insured limits. U.S. bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in an amount up to $250,000 during 2020 and 2019. U.S. money market accounts are not guaranteed by the FDIC. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $76.0 million and $45.8 million, respectively, of cash in bank deposit and money market accounts in U.S. banks, which was in excess of FDIC limits. We have not experienced losses in any such accounts.

We also maintain cash in bank deposit accounts outside the U.S. with no insurance. At September 30, 2020, this included $47.2 million in China, $18.8 million in Turkey, $6.2 million in India, $1.0 million in Mexico and $0.2 million in other countries. We have

TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

not experienced losses in these accounts. In addition, at September 30, 2020, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts of $1.7 million in the U.S., and $0.3 million in China, which are reported as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4. Accrued Warranty

We provide a limited warranty for our wind blades and related precision molding and assembly systems, including materials and workmanship, with terms and conditions that vary depending on the product sold, generally for periods that range from two to five years. We also provide a limited warranty for our transportation products, including materials and workmanship, with terms and conditions that vary depending on the product sold, generally for a period of approximately two years. Warranty expense is recorded based upon estimates of future repairs using a probability-based methodology that considers previous warranty claims, identified quality issues and industry practices. Once the warranty period has expired, any remaining unused warranty accrual for the specific products is generally reversed against the current year warranty expense amount. As of September 30, 2020, a change in the estimated warranty accrual rate of 1% across all products would change the warranty accrual by approximately $39.5 million.

The warranty accrual activity for the periods noted consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

increased from $150.0 million to $205.0 million. All borrowings and amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature in April 2023.

In June 2020, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement which made certain adjustments to one of the financial covenants, added new covenants related to minimum liquidity and mandatory repayment triggers, provided for certain modifications to the affirmative and negative covenants and changed the interest rate during the Adjustment Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to a LIBOR floor of 0.75% plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. The interest rate following the end of the Adjustment Period would be equal to a LIBOR floor of 0.75% plus a margin ranging between 1.75% to 2.50% per annum. All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remained the same.

Unsecured Financing - EMEAI:

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a credit agreement with a Turkish financial institution to provide up to 100.0 million Turkish Lira (approximately $12.8 million as of September 30, 2020) of unsecured financing. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 2.0% and is payable at the end of the term when the loan is repaid. The credit agreement does not have an expiration date, however the limits are reviewed in January of each year to establish available capacity. As of September 30, 2020, there was $3.5 million outstanding under this agreement. The amount outstanding was repaid in October 2020. No amounts were outstanding under this credit agreement as of December 31, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a credit agreement, as amended, with a Turkish financial institution to provide up to $18.0 million of unsecured financing. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 2.4% and is payable quarterly. The maturity date for amounts currently outstanding is March 2023. The credit agreement does not have an expiration date, however the limits are reviewed in December of each year to establish available capacity. As of September 30, 2020, there was $14.7 million outstanding under this credit agreement.

In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a credit agreement with a Turkish financial institution to provide up to 5.0 million Euro (approximately $5.9 million as of September 30, 2020) of unsecured financing. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 5.0% and is payable at the end of the term when the loan is repaid. The credit agreement does not have an expiration date, however the limits are reviewed in February of each year to establish available capacity. As of September 30, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under this credit agreement.

In the second and third quarters of 2020, we amended an existing credit agreement with a Turkish financial institution to provide up to 31.0 million Euro (approximately $36.3 million as of September 30, 2020) of financing of which 11.0 million Euro (approximately $12.9 million as of September 30, 2020) is comprised of unsecured financing, letters of credit and other non-cash items and 20.0 million Euro (approximately $23.4 million as of September 30, 2020) related to an unsecured revolving credit facility. Interest on the 11.0 million Euro facility was determined based upon the term of the loan utilizing the one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) plus 1.50% (1.50%) and was fully paid on the loan origination date. Interest on the 20.0 million Euro facility accrues at a fixed rate of 4.75% and is payable at the end of the term when the loan is repaid. The maturity date for amounts currently outstanding under the 11.0 million Euro facility is April 2021. The facilities do not have an expiration date, however the limits are reviewed in July of each year to establish available capacity. As of September 30, 2020, there was approximately 9.1 million Euro, or $10.7 million, outstanding under the 11.0 million Euro facility and none outstanding under the 20.0 million Euro facility.

In the third quarter of 2020, we amended an existing credit agreement with a Turkish financial institution to provide up to $21.0 million of unsecured financing. Interest on the unsecured financing accrues at a fixed rate of 3.0% and is payable at the end of the term when the loan is repaid. The maturity date for amounts currently outstanding is February 2021. The unsecured financing agreement does not have an expiration date, however the limits are reviewed in September of each year to establish available capacity. As of September 30, 2020, there was $5.8 million outstanding under the credit agreement.

Note 6. Share-Based Compensation Plans

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued to certain employees and non-employee directors an aggregate of 461,732 timed-based restricted stock units (RSUs), 122,752 performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) that vest upon achievement of a cumulative, three-year Adjusted EBITDA target measured from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, and 198,826 PSUs that vest upon achievement of certain stock price hurdles for the period of the grant date through December 31, 2022.

Note 8. Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap

We use interest rate swap contracts to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with our credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) that we entered into in April 2018. We do not use such swap contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

To partially offset the variability of future interest payments on the Credit Agreement arising from changes in LIBOR, in April 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial institution for a notional amount of $75.0 million with an expiration date of April 2023. This interest rate swap effectively hedges $75.0 million of the future variable rate LIBOR interest expense converting it to a fixed rate interest expense. The derivative instrument qualified for accounting as a cash flow hedge in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and we designated it as such.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates between the functional currencies of our subsidiaries and the other currencies in which they transact. In September 2019, we entered into the first of these foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not use such forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

We expect certain of our subsidiaries to have future cash flows that will be denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. Changes in the exchange rates between the functional currencies of our subsidiaries and the other currencies in which they transact will cause fluctuations in the cash flows we expect to receive or pay when these cash flows are realized or settled. Accordingly, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of these forecasted cash flows. As of September 30, 2020, these foreign exchange forward contracts hedge our forecasted cash flows for periods up to six months. These foreign exchange forward contracts qualified for accounting as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and we designated them as such.

All of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For a detailed discussion of the fair value hierarchy, refer to the discussion in Note 1, Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies – Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the notional values associated with our foreign exchange forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges were 0.8 billion Mexican Pesos (approximately $32.2 million) and 1.1 billion Mexican Pesos (approximately $54.8 million), respectively.

The fair values and location of financial instruments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

	Condensed Consolidated	September 30,		December 31,

For cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The net income (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for our foreign exchange forward contracts is expected to be recognized in Cost of Sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the next six months. The gain or loss on our interest rate swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into Interest Expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2020, no interest rate swaps originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminated. No ineffectiveness on our interest rate swaps was recognized as of September 30, 2020, and none is anticipated over the term of the agreement.

The following table presents the pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Note 9. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were lower than for the corresponding periods ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the impact of a change in the forecasted annual effective tax rates and the earnings mix by jurisdiction in 2020 as compared to 2019. The forecasted effective tax rate for the current year differs from the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in foreign jurisdictions with income tax rates that exceed the U.S. statutory income tax rate, losses incurred by an entity in a tax-free zone, and the establishment of a full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred items.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations in July 2020 to clarify Global Intangible Low Tax Income (GILTI) under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act allowing us to make an annual election to exclude GILTI of our foreign subsidiaries with an effective tax rate greater than 90% of the U.S. corporate rate. The impact for this change in legislation was offset by the establishment of a full valuation allowance in the U.S. during the quarter.

No additional changes in tax law occurred during the quarter which have a material impact on our income tax provision.

We do not record a deferred tax liability related to unremitted foreign earnings as we maintain our assertion to indefinitely reinvest our unremitted foreign earnings.

Note 10. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Calculation

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, unless there is a net loss for the period and/or performance-based awards which are not included until performance conditions are met. In computing diluted net income per common share, we use the treasury stock method. The table below reflects the

calculation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method, used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
	(in thousands)
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		35,546		35,131		35,354		35,024
Effect of dilutive awards		1,877		—		—		—
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		37,423		35,131		35,354		35,024

Since there were net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 1,400,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation. Additionally, since there were net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 980,000 and 1,304,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation. In addition, the table below summarizes the approximate number of share-based compensation awards which were excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Anti-dilutive shares		1,000		27,000		33,000		14,000

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly those under “Risk Factors.”

OVERVIEW

Our Company

We are the only independent manufacturer of composite wind blades for the wind energy market with a global manufacturing footprint. We deliver high-quality, cost-effective composite solutions through long term relationships with leading original equipment manufacturers in the wind and transportation markets. We are headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and operate factories throughout the U.S., China, Mexico, Turkey, and India. We operate additional engineering development centers in Denmark and Germany.

Our business operations are defined geographically into four geographic operating segments—(1) the United States (U.S.), (2) Asia, (3) Mexico and (4) Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI). See Note 14, Segment Reporting, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details about our operating segments.

KEY TRENDS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our operations and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to reduced production levels at our manufacturing facilities primarily during the first and second quarters of 2020 as a result of certain applicable government-mandated stay at home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demands from certain of our labor unions to suspend or reduce production and general safety concerns of our associates. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, most of our manufacturing facilities had returned to operating at or near normal production levels. For the third quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact on our operations and results of operations.

Several of our manufacturing facilities are operating in regions with high levels of reported COVID-19 positive cases. As such, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at these manufacturing facilities or at our other manufacturing facilities to the extent there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities.

We continue to manage our liquidity to ensure our long-term viability until the COVID-19 pandemic abates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had net borrowings of $72.8 million under our Credit Agreement. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into or amended four unsecured credit agreements with four Turkish financial institutions resulting in net borrowings of $31.2 million and current availability of $44.0 million.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we estimate that our net sales were adversely impacted by approximately $8 million and $142 million, based upon 13 and 342 wind blade sets which we had forecasted to produce in those periods under non-cancellable purchase orders associated with our long-term contracts but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we estimate that our net income and net loss was adversely impacted by approximately $2 million, net of taxes, and $21 million, net of taxes, based upon the forecasted gross margin on the forecasted wind blade sets which we were planning to produce in those periods but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred approximately $4 million, net of taxes, and $11 million, net of taxes, of COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we estimate that our Adjusted EBITDA was adversely impacted by approximately $8 million and $55 million, respectively, based upon the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margin on the forecasted wind blade sets which we were planning to produce in those periods but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor.

The increase in the loss from operations in the EMEAI segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily driven by the decreased wind blade production at our two Turkey manufacturing facilities, increased transition costs at one of our Turkey manufacturing facilities, and increased startup costs at our India manufacturing facility, partially offset by favorable foreign currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro had a favorable impact of 3.4% on cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 2019.

The increase in the loss from operations in the EMEAI segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily driven by increased warranty costs, decreased wind blade production at our two Turkey manufacturing facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 and COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor, the increased startup costs at our India manufacturing facility and transition costs at one of our Turkey manufacturing facilities, partially offset by favorable foreign currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro had a favorable impact of 3.5% on cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 2019.

Other income (expense)

The following table summarizes our total other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Change						September 30,						Change
	2020			2019			$			%			2020			2019			$			%
	(in thousands)												(in thousands)
Interest income	$	15		$	43		$	(28	)		-65.1	%	$	55		$	125		$	(70	)		-56.0	%
Interest expense		(3,108	)		(2,130	)		(978	)		-45.9	%		(7,464	)		(6,403	)		(1,061	)		-16.6	%
Realized gain (loss) on foreign currency remeasurement		(17,127	)		3,719			(20,846	)	NM				(18,095	)		(1,050	)		(17,045	)	NM
Miscellaneous income		1,259			517			742			143.5	%		2,893			2,235			658			29.4	%
Total other income (expense)	$	(18,961	)	$	2,149		$	(21,110	)	NM			$	(22,611	)	$	(5,093	)	$	(17,518	)	NM

The increase in the total other expense in both periods of 2020 was primarily due to increases in realized losses on foreign currency remeasurement primarily due to net Euro liability exposure against the Turkish Lira in the current year periods as compared to the same periods in 2019.

Income taxes

The following table summarizes our income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Change			September 30,						Change
	2020			2019			$		%	2020			2019			$		%
	(in thousands)									(in thousands)
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	32,338		$	(18,838	)	$	51,176	NM	$	(1,946	)	$	(14,713	)	$	12,767		86.8	%
Effective tax rate		322.0	%		-132.0	%					8.7	%	NM

The decrease in the provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of a change in the forecasted annual effective tax rates and the earnings mix by jurisdiction in 2020 as compared to 2019. The forecasted effective tax rate for the current year differs from the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in foreign jurisdictions with income tax rates that exceed the U.S. statutory income tax rate, losses incurred by an entity in a tax-free zone, and the establishment of a full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred items.

Net income (loss)

The following table summarizes our net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					Change			September 30,						Change
	2020		2019			$		%	2020			2019			$			%
	(in thousands)								(in thousands)
Net income (loss)	$	42,382	$	(4,571	)	$	46,953	NM	$	(24,211	)	$	(14,847	)	$	(9,364	)		-63.1	%

The increase in the net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the reasons set forth above. In addition, we estimate that our net income during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was adversely impacted by approximately $2 million, net of taxes based upon the forecasted gross margin on the wind blade sets we had forecasted to produce in the period under non-cancellable purchase orders associated with our long-term contracts but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, during the period we incurred $4 million, net of taxes, of COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor. The diluted net income per share was $1.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The increase in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the reasons set forth above. In addition, we estimate that our net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was adversely impacted by approximately $21 million, net of taxes, based upon the forecasted gross margin on the wind blade sets we had forecasted to produce at our Mexico, China, Iowa, Turkey and India manufacturing facilities in the period under non-cancellable purchase orders associated with our long-term contracts but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic required these manufacturing facilities to either temporarily suspend production or operate at reduced production levels due primarily to certain applicable government-mandated stay at home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demands from certain of our labor unions to suspend or reduce production and general safety concerns of our associates. In addition, during the period we incurred $11 million, net of taxes, of COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor. The diluted net loss per share was $0.68 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.42 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of the uncertainty relating to: (i) the rapidly evolving nature, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the variety of measures implemented by governments around the world to address its effects and (iii) the impact on our manufacturing operations, we are managing our liquidity to ensure our long-term viability until the COVID-19 pandemic abates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had net borrowings of $72.8 million under our Credit Agreement. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into or amended four unsecured credit agreements with four Turkish financial institutions resulting in net borrowings of $31.2 million and current availability of $44.0 million.

Our primary needs for liquidity have been, and in the future will continue to be, capital expenditures, new facility startup costs, the impact of transitions, working capital, debt service costs and warranty costs. Our capital expenditures have been primarily related to machinery and equipment for new facilities or facility expansions. Historically, we have funded our working capital needs through cash flows from operations, the proceeds received from our credit facilities and from proceeds received from the issuance of stock. We had net borrowings under our financing arrangements of $96.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to net repayments under our financing arrangements of $0.2 million in the comparable period of 2019. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $238.7 million and $142.1 million in outstanding indebtedness, excluding debt issuance costs, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $88.0 million of remaining capacity and $71.4 million of remaining availability under our various credit facilities. Working capital requirements have increased as a result of our overall growth and the need to fund higher accounts receivable and inventory levels as our business volumes have increased. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that cash on hand, available credit facilities and cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to make required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness over the next twelve months.

We anticipate that any new facilities and future facility expansions will be funded through cash flows from operations, the incurrence of other indebtedness and other potential sources of liquidity. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $149.4 million and $70.3 million, respectively. The September 30, 2020 balance includes $73.4 million of cash located outside of the United States, including $47.2 million in China, $18.8 million in Turkey, $6.2 million in India, $1.0 million in Mexico and $0.2 million in other countries. In February 2020, we entered into an Incremental Facility Agreement with the current lenders to our Credit Agreement and an additional lender, pursuant to which the aggregate principal amount of our revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement was increased from $150.0 million to $205.0 million. Our ability to repatriate funds from China to the United States is subject to a number of restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. We repatriate funds through several technology license and corporate/administrative service agreements. We are compensated quarterly based on agreed upon royalty rates for such intellectual property licenses and quarterly fees for those services. Certain of our subsidiaries are limited in their ability to declare dividends without first meeting statutory restrictions of the People’s Republic of China, including retained earnings as determined under Chinese-statutory accounting requirements. Until 50% ($26.5 million as of December 31, 2019) of registered capital is contributed to a surplus reserve, our Chinese operations can only pay dividends equal to 90% of after-tax profits (10% must be contributed to the surplus reserve). Once the surplus reserve fund requirement is met, our Chinese operations can pay dividends equal to 100% of after-tax profit assuming other conditions are met. At December 31, 2019, the amount of the surplus reserve fund was $6.6 million.

Cash Flow Discussion

The following table summarizes our key cash flow activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2020			2019			$ Change
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	33,865		$	62,735		$	(28,870	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(53,428	)		(60,194	)		6,766
Net cash provided by financing activities		102,427			2,358			100,069

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of lower operating results and certain changes in our working capital.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of a decrease in capital expenditures.

We anticipate fiscal year 2020 capital expenditures of between $80 million to $90 million and we estimate that the cost that we will incur after September 30, 2020 to complete our current projects in process will be approximately $13.0 million. We are deferring non-critical capital expenditures in light of the COVID-19 uncertainty. We have used, and will continue to use, cash flows from operations, the proceeds received from our credit facilities for major projects currently being undertaken, which include new manufacturing facilities in Chennai, India, the continued investment in our existing Tukey, Mexico, China and U.S. facilities as well as in our pilot line in Warren, Rhode Island.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $100.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of increased net borrowings on our revolving loans and other growth-related debt.

Financing Facilities

Our total principal amount of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020 was $238.7 million, including our Credit Agreement, unsecured financing agreements and equipment finance leases. See Note 5, Long-Term Debt, Net of Debt Issuance Costs and Current Maturities, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our debt balances.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We are not presently involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including transactions with unconsolidated special-purpose or other entities that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, other than our accounts receivable assignment agreements described below. Furthermore, we do not have any relationships with special-purpose or other entities that provide off-balance sheet financing; liquidity, market risk or credit risk support; or engage in leasing or other services that may expose us to liability or risks of loss that are not reflected in consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Our segments enter into accounts receivable assignment agreements with various financial institutions. Under these agreements, the financial institution buys, on a non-recourse basis, the accounts receivable amounts related to our segment’s customers at an agreed-upon discount rate.

The following table summarizes certain key details of each of the accounts receivable assignment agreements in place as of September 30, 2020:

Year Of Initial Agreement	Segment(s) Related To	Current Discount Rate
2014	Mexico	LIBOR plus 0.75%
2018	U.S and Mexico	LIBOR plus 1.25%
2018	EMEAI	EURIBOR plus 0.75%
2019	Asia and Mexico	LIBOR plus 1.00%
2019	Asia	LIBOR plus 1.00%
2019	Asia	Fixed rate of 3.85%
2020	EMEAI	EURIBOR plus 1.95%

As the receivables are purchased by the financial institutions under the agreements noted above, the receivables were removed from our balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, $343.0 million and $802.9 million of receivables were sold under the accounts receivable assignment agreements described above, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than in the ordinary course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These market risks are principally limited to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We currently do not hedge our exposure to these risks.

Foreign Currency Risk. We conduct international operations in China, Mexico, Turkey and India. Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. We incur currency transaction risk whenever we enter into either a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the transacting entity. With respect to currency translation risk, our financial condition and results of operations are measured and recorded in the relevant domestic currency and then translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In recent years, exchange rates between these foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly and may do so in the future. A hypothetical change of 10% in the exchange rates for the countries above would have resulted in a change to income from operations of approximately $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Commodity Price Risk. We are subject to commodity price risk under agreements for the supply of our raw materials. We have not hedged our commodity price exposure. We generally lock in pricing for our key raw materials for 12 months which protects us from price increases within that period. As many of our raw material supply agreements have meet or release clauses, if raw materials prices go down, we are able to benefit from the reductions in price. We believe that this adequately protects us from increases in raw material prices and also enables us to take full advantage of decreases.

Resin and resin systems are the primary commodities for which we do not have fixed pricing. Approximately 40% of the resin and resin systems we use are purchased under contracts controlled by one of our customers and therefore they receive/bear 100% of any increase or decrease in resin costs further limiting our exposure to price fluctuations. We believe that a 10% change in the price of resin and resin systems for the customers in which we are exposed to fluctuating prices would have had an impact to income from operations of approximately $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Furthermore, this amount does not include the portion of any increase or decrease that would be shared with our customers under our long-term supply agreements, which is generally 70%.

In late 2019, worldwide demand for balsa wood increased as a result of shortages of other types of core materials. In addition, our supply chain for balsa wood, which is primarily sourced from Ecuador, has been further stressed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this increased demand and supply chain disruption, we currently do not have fixed pricing for a portion of our contracts and purchases orders for balsa wood for the remainder of 2020. We believe that a 10% change in the price of balsa wood would have had an impact to income from operations of approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2020, our EMEAI segment has one general credit agreement, as amended, with a Turkish financial institution which is tied to EURIBOR. This agreement had collateralized financing of capital expenditures and unsecured financing outstanding as of September 30, 2020 totaling $15.8 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2020, our Credit Agreement includes interest on the unhedged principal amount of $110.2 million which is tied to LIBOR. The EMEAI financings and the Credit Agreement noted above are the only variable rate debt that we had outstanding as of September 30, 2020 as all remaining working capital loans, accounts receivable financing, unsecured financing and capital lease obligations are fixed rate instruments and are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Due to the relatively low LIBOR and EURIBOR rates in effect as of September 30, 2020, a 10% change in the LIBOR or EURIBOR rate would not have had a material impact on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and operating effectiveness as of September 30, 2020 of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, under the heading “Legal Proceedings” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of legal proceedings and other related matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors (Part I, Item 1A) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results.

Our business, operations and financial condition for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and we cannot estimate the duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition at this time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, our China manufacturing facilities were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of reduced production levels and COVID-19 related costs associated with the health and safety of our associates and non-productive labor. During the second quarter of 2020, all of our manufacturing facilities with the exception of our China manufacturing facilities and our Rhode Island manufacturing facility were required to temporarily suspend production or operate at reduced production levels due primarily to certain applicable government-mandated stay at home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demands from certain of our labor unions to suspend or reduce production and general safety concerns of our associates. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, most of our manufacturing facilities had returned to operating at or near normal production levels. However, several of our manufacturing facilities are operating in regions with high levels of reported COVID-19 positive cases. As such, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at these manufacturing facilities or at our other manufacturing facilities to the extent there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, although we currently have not experienced any significant disruptions in our global supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our global supply chain may in the future be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.
