SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. 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:

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;
the current status of the wind energy market and our addressable market;
our ability to absorb or mitigate the impact of inflation, including rising labor wages, as well as price increases in resin, carbon reinforcements (or fiber), other raw materials and related logistics costs that we use to produce our products;
our ability to procure adequate supplies of raw materials and components in a cost-effective manner to fulfill our volume commitments to our customers;
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;
changes in global economic trends and uncertainty, geopolitical risks, and demand or supply disruptions from global events;
the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations;
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 strategy and future expenses, including our startup and transition costs;
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 business and manufacture wind blades for offshore wind energy projects;
our ability to successfully open new manufacturing facilities and expand existing facilities on time and on budget;
the impact of the 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;
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; 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,

2


 

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 for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 25, 2022 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. Significant Accounting Policies

Functional Currency Change from Turkish Lira to Euro for the Company’s Turkish operations.

Effective January 1, 2022, the functional currency for our operations in Türkiye changed from the Turkish Lira to the Euro. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into Euros at the rate in effect on the date of the asset's or liability’s inception and then translated into reporting currency based on the current exchange rate. The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into Euros at the rate in effect on the date of change and then translated into reporting currency based on the current exchange rate. The difference between the historical basis of nonmonetary assets and liabilities and the new basis of $44.9 million (increase in net assets) was recorded in the currency translation adjustment account. The amount recorded in the currency translation adjustment account for prior periods was not reversed upon the change in functional currency. The majority of the initial impact of the functional currency change was to property, plant and equipment and operating lease right of use assets with an offset to the currency translation adjustment account.

While the change of the functional currency was based on a factual assessment, the determination of the date of the change required management’s judgement given the evolution in the primary economic and business environment in which we operate. When we established our Turkish operations in 2012 and 2013, the Turkish government had a goal of significantly increasing renewable energy generation and utilization within Türkiye by year 2023. During 2014-2017, wind energy generated and utilized in Türkiye increased and management observed that progress was being made towards the Turkish government's goal. In 2018 and 2019, the Turkish government introduced tenders to spur domestic renewable energy generation and utilization in Türkiye. However, as of year-end 2020, Turkish domestic renewable energy generated and utilized was significantly less than originally forecasted by the Turkish government. As of 2021, there were no significant wind turbine installations under the tenders awarded by the Turkish government in 2018 and 2019. Based on recent and anticipated annual domestic renewable energy demand it is unlikely for the local energy generation to reach the Turkish government's goals for 2023. Additionally, in recent years sales to the eurozone have increased and the Company is focused on meeting the export demands of the region. Based on the analysis of the domestic renewable energy demand through 2021 and anticipated future demand, management concluded that Turkish domestic sales will not grow as previously envisioned and most of the future growth will continue to be predominately export sales to the eurozone, which are primarily denominated in Euros.

Management re-evaluated all indicators established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", to determine the functional currency of our Turkish operations. Such indicators include i) cash flow, ii) sales price, iii) sales market, iv) expense, v) financing and vi) intercompany transactions and arrangements. At the time of the assessment adopted on January 1, 2022, (i) approximately 80% of our sales in Türkiye were denominated in Euros and the rest were in USD, (ii) a majority of expenses were denominated in Euros, (iii) all debt and lease obligations were denominated in Euros, (iv) a majority of the cash balances were denominated in Euros and (v) a majority of the intercompany balances were denominated in Euros. When considering all relevant facts together along with managements’ long-term plan for our Türkiye operations, management concluded that the Euro best reflects the currency of the primary economic environment in which we currently operate. As a result, the Company adopted the Euro as the functional currency of our Turkish operations effective January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis.

Note 2. 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, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading, 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. 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, 2022, 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 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

Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which 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. This ASU only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective for all entities beginning on March 12, 2020 and entities may elect to apply the ASU prospectively through December 31, 2022. The FASB later issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, to clarify the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. The Company has not yet elected to apply allowed expedients and exceptions. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Supplier Finance Programs

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50), which requires the disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a roll forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU becomes effective January 1, 2023, except for the roll forward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. Upon adoption, we may be required to include additional disclosures to the extent we have material supplier finance program obligations.

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 majority of the contract asset balance relates to materials procured based on customer specifications. 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 primarily represent progress payments received as precision molding and assembly systems are 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.

Contract assets increased by $23.4 million from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 due to an increase in unbilled production during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Contract liabilities, net of the amounts reclassed to contract assets decreased by $1.3 million from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $1.3 million of revenue related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades, which was 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, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $2.2 billion. We estimate that we will recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods increased by $0.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods decreased by $10.3 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods decreased by $7.3 million and $19.8 million, respectively. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relate to changes in certain of our estimated total contract values and related direct costs to complete the performance obligations.

Note 4. 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 15, Concentration of Customers.

Our customers and wind farm developers continue to defer investments into the future until inflationary pressures and global economies stabilize and there is clearer regulatory guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and United States Treasury Department with respect to the recently enacted, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), as well as the actions proposed by the European Union under the REPowerEU plan. As such, we expect decreased demand for our wind blades from our customers and our total projected sales in 2023 to decline compared to 2022. In 2023, we expect to be operating fewer manufacturing lines and for our operational manufacturing lines to be at lower utilization levels.

The after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current geopolitical situation, and economic environment, including with respect to inflation, continue to evolve and affect supply chain performance and underlying assumptions in various ways – specifically with volatility in commodity, energy, and logistics costs. We expect the prices of resin, carbon fiber and other raw materials to remain elevated in the near term. We also expect logistics costs to remain elevated. If the prices for these raw materials and logistics costs remain elevated for an extended period of time, such elevated price levels could have a material impact on our results of operations.

As part of our global footprint optimization, we are planning several actions before year end to right size our organization and better position us for 2023 and the long term, including reducing headcount primarily in geographies most impacted by demand and reducing or eliminating loss-making operations. These actions have not yet been initiated, but will require us to record restructuring and impairment related charges during the remainder of 2022 which will have a material impact on our 2022 full year results.

We maintain our United States (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 2022 and 2021. U.S. money market accounts are not guaranteed by the FDIC. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $75.5 million and $165.4 million, respectively, of cash in bank deposit and money market accounts in U.S. banks, which were 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, 2022, this included $42.3 million in China, $7.1 million in Türkiye, $2.0 million in India, $1.4 million in Mexico and $0.8 million in other countries. As of December 31, 2021, this included $25.9 million in China, $42.6 million in Türkiye, $5.7 million in India, $2.1 million in Mexico and $0.5 million in other countries. We have not experienced losses in these accounts. In addition, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts in the U.S. of $9.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, which are reported as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 9. Financial Instruments

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. We do not use such forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Mexican Peso

With regards to our foreign exchange call option contracts, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of premium amortization was recorded through cost of sales within our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as compared to $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in the comparative prior year periods. The unrecognized income (loss) included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for our foreign exchange call option contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the next nine months.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional values associated with our foreign exchange call option contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges were approximately 0.3 billion Mexican Pesos (approximately $14.4 million) and approximately 0.4 billion Mexican Pesos (approximately $20.2 million), respectively.

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

Note 11. Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported an income tax provision of $10.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively, as compared to an income tax provision of $8.2 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in the comparative prior year periods. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and the decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulted primarily from the change in the mix of earnings of foreign jurisdictions and a decrease in U.S. valuation allowance compared to the same period in 2021.

No changes in tax law occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which had 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 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which may not be covered by insurance. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, we may incur charges in excess of presently established reserves. Our management does not believe that any such charges would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2021, we received a complaint that was filed by the administrator for the Senvion GmbH (Senvion) insolvency estate in German insolvency court. The complaint asserts voidance against us in the aggregate amount of $13.3 million. The alleged voidance claims relate to payments that Senvion made to us for wind blades that we produced prior to Senvion filing for insolvency protection. We filed a response to these alleged voidance claims in August 2021 and filed a supplemental response in April 2022. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the alleged voidance claims. Due to the current procedural posture of this claim, we have determined that the ultimate outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2021, particularly those under the heading “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 (OEM) in the wind market. We also provide field service inspection and repair services to our OEM customers and wind farm owners and operators, and supply high strength, lightweight and durable composite products to the transportation market. We are headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and operate factories throughout the United States (U.S)., China, Mexico, Türkiye, and India. We operate additional engineering development centers in Denmark and Germany and a service facility in Spain.

Our business operations are defined geographically into five geographic operating segments—(1) the United States (U.S.), (2) Asia, (3) Mexico, (4) Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and (5) India. See Note 16, Segment Reporting, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details about our operating segments.

KEY TRENDS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS

 

Our customers and wind farm developers continue to defer investments into the future until inflationary pressures and global economies stabilize and there is clearer regulatory guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and United States Treasury Department with respect to the recently enacted, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), as well as the actions proposed by the European Union under the REPowerEU plan. As such, we expect decreased demand in the near term for our wind blades from our customers and our total projected sales in 2023 to decline compared to 2022. In 2023, we expect to be operating fewer manufacturing lines and at lower utilization levels.

 

In preparation for the expected long-term growth in the wind industry, we have entered into or agreed to enter into several recent arrangements with our customers, including:

extending our supply agreement with Enercon for two lines at one of our Türkiye manufacturing facilities through 2025;
signing an agreement with GE that enabled us to secure a ten-year lease extension of our manufacturing facility in Newton, Iowa. Under the agreement, GE and TPI plan to develop competitive blade manufacturing options to best serve GE's commitments in the U.S. market with production intended to start in 2024;
agreeing in principle with GE to extend all of our lines in our Mexico manufacturing facilities through 2025 and expect to finalize and execute the contract extensions before the end of 2022;
extending two of our supply agreements with Nordex at our Türkiye manufacturing facilities for four lines through 2023;
agreeing in principle with Vestas to a seven-year global partner framework agreement that aims to provide flexibility and capacity to Vestas while enabling better facility utilization in the geographies that we serve Vestas. We expect to finalize and execute this agreement before the end of 2022.

 

Given the current challenging global macroeconomic and wind industry environment, we are commencing multiple cost saving initiatives to better position us for 2023 and the long term, including optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, reducing headcount primarily in geographies most impacted by demand and reducing or eliminating loss making operations. While a plan has not yet been initiated, we intend to cease production at our Yangzhou, China manufacturing facility in December 2022. We expect to record material restructuring and impairment charges during the three months ended December 31, 2022 with respect to closing this facility as well as additional headcount reductions in our other manufacturing facilities and corporate functions as well as actions related to our loss-making operations. The exact amount of the restructuring charge will depend upon a multitude of factors relating to the nature and extent of our restructuring activities.

 

25


 

The after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current geopolitical situation, and economic environment, including with respect to inflation, continue to evolve and affect supply chain performance and underlying assumptions in various ways – specifically with volatility in commodity, energy, and logistics costs. We expect the prices of resin, carbon fiber and other raw materials to remain elevated in the near term. We also expect logistics costs to remain elevated. If the prices for these raw materials and logistics costs remain elevated for an extended period of time, such elevated price levels could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, we expect the current inflationary environment to significantly increase our labor costs in 2023, particularly in Türkiye and Mexico.

 

Although our near-term outlook remains challenging, we are encouraged by the passage of the IRA and the expected long-term incentive certainty that the IRA provides in the U.S. market. The Production Tax Credit (PTC) has been effectively extended until the later of 2032 or when greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by 75% compared to 2022. The wind industry is waiting on guidance from the IRS and United States Treasury Department, among others, to define and clarify the implementation of this complex legislation. Furthermore, we are encouraged by the long-term prospects of the European wind market after the announcement of the European Commission’s REPowerEU plan in May 2022.

 

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been adversely impacted by the performance of our Matamoros, Mexico manufacturing facility that we took over from Nordex in 2021. The negative impact on our adjusted EBITDA margin from this facility was approximately 270 basis points and 250 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced a brief labor disruption in our Türkiye manufacturing facilities as we worked with the union to address the inflationary pressures on wages. This labor disruption adversely impacted our sales by approximately $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

In addition, in August 2022, one of our customers requested for us to temporarily suspend production of one of our blade models manufactured in one of our Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facilities due to a design change. After expediting the review and implementation of the design our production resumed in September 2022. This suspension adversely impacted sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 by approximately $12 million but had a minimal impact on our earnings.

The decrease in net sales of wind blades during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, were primarily driven by a 11% and 15% decrease in the number of wind blades produced, respectively, due to a temporary production stoppage in one of our Mexico plants as a customer implemented a blade redesign, a brief labor disruption in Türkiye as we worked with the union to resolve inflationary pressures on wages, as well as a reduction in manufacturing lines, transitions of existing lines and currency fluctuations, which were partially offset by a higher average sales price due to the mix of wind blade models produced and the impact of inflation on blade prices. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in volume of molds produced. The increase in transportation sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 74% and 79% increase, respectively, in volume of composite bus bodies, partially offset by a decrease in other transportation product sales due to changes in the mix of products produced. Additionally, there was an increase in our field service, inspection and repair service sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, due to an increase in demand for such services. The increase in other sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, is primarily due to an increase in volume of ancillary wind-related sales and services. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro in our operations in Türkiye had an unfavorable impact of 3.9% and 3.2% on consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021.

The decrease in the U.S. segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was due to the shutdown of production at our Newton, Iowa manufacturing facility at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in transportation sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily due to a 74% and 79% increase, respectively, in volume of composite bus bodies, partially offset by a decrease in other transportation product sales due to changes in the mix of products produced. The increase in the U.S. segment's field service, inspection and repair services sales was primarily due to increases in overall volume and demand for such services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021.

The increase in the Asia segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 62% increase in the number of wind blades produced and was partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of wind blades due to a change in the mix of wind blades produced during the comparative period. The decrease in the Asia segment’s net sales of wind blades during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 30% decrease in the number of wind blades produced due to the number of manufacturing lines in transition during the period. The net sales decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to inflationary price increases which are passed on to our customer.

The decrease in the Mexico segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 23% decrease in the number of wind blades produced. This decrease was due to a temporary suspension of production of one of the blade types in one of our Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facilities in August of 2022 due to a customer requested design change, and was also due to one of our other Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facilities stopping production in December 2021. This was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to inflationary price increases which are passed on to our customer and the mix of wind blades produced in the comparative period. The increase in the Mexico segment’s net sales of wind blades during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the commencement of production at our newest manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico, and also reflects an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to inflationary price increases which are passed on to our customer and the mix of wind blades produced in the comparative period. The decrease in net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems is primarily due to a moderation in the number of transitions and new line startups compared to the prior year. The increase in other sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, is primarily due to an increase in volume of ancillary wind-related sales and services.

during the quarter and currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 14.1% on net sales, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in the EMEA segment’s net sales of wind blades during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by an increase in the number of wind blades produced and a change in the mix of wind blades produced, partially offset by currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 10.0% on net sales, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

The increase in the India segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by a 9% increase in the number of wind blades produced and an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to the mix of wind blades produced in the comparative period. The decrease in the India segment’s net sales of wind blades during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by the transition of two of our manufacturing lines from one type of wind blade to a new type of wind blade in 2022 and was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to the mix of wind blades produced in the comparative period.

Total cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased by approximately 3.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by net favorable currency fluctuations, reduced startup and transition costs, and operational efficiencies, offset by continued operating challenges at our newest Matamoros, Mexico facility. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Turkish Lira, Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Mexican Peso had a favorable impact of 8.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, on consolidated cost of goods sold as compared to the same period in 2021. Total cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales remained flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by an increase in direct labor costs offset by currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Turkish Lira, Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Mexican Peso had a favorable impact of 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, on consolidated cost of goods sold as compared to the same period in 2021. Included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, is approximately $3.0 million and $18.1 million, respectively, in non-restructuring related operating costs that

The decrease in restructuring costs, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily due to a decrease in severance costs. The restructuring is associated with the optimization of our global footprint, comprised primarily of severance benefits to terminated employees as a result of the closure of our Newton, Iowa; Dafeng, China and Taicang, China manufacturing facilities.

U.S. Segment

The decrease in the loss from operations in the U.S. segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to asset impairment charges in the prior year comparative period associated with the shutdown of

32


 

production at our Newton, Iowa manufacturing facility. The increase in the loss from operations in the U.S. segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to ongoing non-restructuring related operating costs at our Newton, Iowa manufacturing facility where production has shut down as well as increased material and labor costs for our transportation products.

Asia Segment

The increase in income from operations in the Asia segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in the net sales of wind blades and the fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi which had a favorable impact of 3.7% on cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in income from operations in the Asia segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the decrease in the net sales of wind blades and restructuring charges incurred at our Taicang City, China and Dafeng, China manufacturing facilities. This was partially offset by the fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi which had a favorable impact of 1.8% on cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Mexico Segment

The increase in the loss from operations in the Mexico segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily due to continued challenges at our newest Matamoros, Mexico facility which represented approximately 53% and 49% of the total loss from operations for the Mexico segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, the increase in the loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was also due to ongoing non-restructuring related operating costs at one of our Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facilities where production has shut down.

EMEA Segment

The increase in the income from operations in the EMEA segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily driven by increased wind blade production at our two Türkiye manufacturing facilities and a decrease in startup and transition costs. This increase was partially offset by an increase in direct material costs and direct labor costs due to inflationary pressures and a brief labor disruption as compared to the same periods in 2021. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro had a favorable impact of 29.2% and 22.6% on cost of goods sold, and an unfavorable impact of 14.1% and 10.0% on net sales, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021.

India Segment

The increase in the income from operations in the India segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily driven by an increase in wind blade production at our India manufacturing facility.

The change in the total other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily due to favorable foreign currency fluctuations due to the change in functional currency at our Türkiye subsidiaries from the Turkish Lira to the Euro, as well as a decrease in interest expense due to the repayment of the outstanding senior revolving credit facility in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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, raw materials purchases, working capital, debt service costs, warranty costs and restructuring costs associated with the optimization of our global footprint. Our capital expenditures have been primarily related to machinery and equipment at our new facilities and expansion and improvements at our existing facilities. 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 repayments under our financing arrangements of $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to net proceeds under our financing arrangements of $43.1 million in the comparable period of 2021. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $62.1 million and $74.6 million in outstanding indebtedness, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an aggregate of $79.9 million of remaining capacity for cash and non-cash financing, including $58.8 million of remaining availability for cash borrowing under our various credit facilities. In addition, we also may elect, at our option through November 2023, to require the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock to purchase an additional $50.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions as the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that cash on hand, available credit facilities, cash flows from operations and our option to issue additional Series A Preferred Stock 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $129.1 million and $242.2 million, respectively. The September 30, 2022 balance includes $53.6 million of cash located outside of the United States, including $42.3 million in China, $7.1 million in Türkiye, $2.0 million in India, $1.4 million in Mexico and $0.8 million in other countries.

Our ability to repatriate funds from China 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 China, including retained earnings as determined under Chinese-statutory accounting requirements. Until 50% ($25.1 million and $26.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021) of registered capital is contributed to a surplus reserve, our China 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 China operations can pay dividends equal to 100% of after-tax profit assuming other conditions are met. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of the surplus reserve fund was $7.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively. In July 2021, China paid a dividend of approximately $19.5 million, net of withholding taxes, to our subsidiary in Switzerland.

Financing Facilities

Our total principal amount of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was $62.1 million, including our secured and unsecured financing, working capital and term loan agreements and equipment finance leases. See Note 6, Long-Term Debt, Net of Current Maturities, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on our debt balances.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $56.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of working capital usage, primarily related to an increase in accounts receivable, and a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, the increase in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is due to an increase in contract assets, which was the result of an increase in the period over period number of wind blades still in the production process at the end of the period, as well as continued operating cost challenges at our newest Matamoros, Mexico manufacturing facility, and ongoing non-restructuring related operating costs at our other facilities where production has shut down.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of a decrease in capital expenditures.

We anticipate fiscal year 2022 capital expenditures of approximately $17 million and we estimate that the cost that we will incur after September 30, 2022 to complete our current projects in process will be approximately $7.1 million. We have used, and will continue to use, cash flows from operations, the proceeds received from our credit facilities and the proceeds received from the issuance of stock for major projects currently being undertaken, which includes the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Chennai, India, the reopening of our Newton, Iowa facility and the continued investment in our existing facilities in Türkiye and Mexico.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $61.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of decreased borrowings and increased repayments of outstanding borrowings.

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 the condensed 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 segments' customers at an agreed-upon discount rate.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $299.6 million and $840.7 million, respectively, of receivables were sold under the accounts receivable assignment agreements described above as compared to $346.3 million and $1,001.2 million, respectively, in the comparative prior year periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2, Basis of Presentation, under the heading “Accounting Pronouncements” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We conduct international operations in China, Mexico, Türkiye, India and Europe. 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 functional 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 functional 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 $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 most of our key raw materials for 12 months which protects us from price increases within that period, which we believe helps to mitigate the impact of raw material price increases. As many of our raw material supply agreements have meet or release clauses, if raw materials prices decrease, we are able to benefit from the reductions in price.

Resin, resin systems, and carbon fiber are the primary commodities for which we do not have fixed pricing. Approximately 60% of the resin and resin systems, and approximately 90% of the carbon fiber, we use is purchased under contracts either controlled or borne by two of our customers and therefore they receive/bear 100% of any decrease or increase in resin and carbon fiber costs further limiting our exposure to price fluctuations.

Taking into account the contractual obligations of our customers to share with us the cost savings or increases resulting from a change in the current forecasted price of resin, resin systems, and carbon fiber we believe that a 10% change in the current forecasted price of resin, resin systems, and carbon fiber for the customers in which we are exposed to fluctuating prices would have an impact to income from operations of approximately $8.1 million for the full year 2022. With respect to our other customer supply agreements, our

36


 

customers typically receive/bear 60% to 70% of the cost savings or increases resulting from a change in the price of resin, resin systems, and carbon fiber.

Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2022, all remaining secured and unsecured financing and finance lease obligations are fixed rate instruments and are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, 2022 of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
