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 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.

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 Turkey 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 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 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 change in the primary economic and business environment in which we operate have evolved over time. When we established our Turkish operations in 2012 and 2013, the Turkish government had a goal of significantly increasing renewable energy being generated and utilized within Turkey by year 2023. During 2014-2017, wind energy being generated and utilized in Turkey 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 Turkey. However, as of year-end 2020, Turkish domestic renewable energy being 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 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 Turkey are denominated in Euros and the rest are in USD, (ii) a majority of expenses are denominated in Euros, (iii) all debt and lease obligations are denominated in Euro, (iv) a majority of the cash balances are denominated in Euros and (v) a majority of the intercompany balances are denominated in Euros. When considering all relevant facts together along with managements’ long-term plan for our Turkey operations, management concluded that the Euros 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. 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 March 31, 2022, and the results of our operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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, 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.

For a further discussion regarding our operating segments, see Note 16, Segment Reporting. The geographic regions of Europe, the Middle East and Africa comprises the EMEA segment.

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 and contract liabilities consisted of the following:


	March 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021			$ Change
	(in thousands)
Gross contract assets	$	208,010		$	196,659		$	11,351

Less: reclassification to contract assets		(1,946	)		(8,336	)		6,390
Contract liabilities	$	1,274		$	1,274		$	—

Contract assets increased by $17.7 million from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 due to an increase in customer specific material purchases and incremental unbilled production during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Contracts liabilities, net of the amounts reclassed to contract assets, remained consistent from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 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.

TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $2.5 billion. We estimate that we will recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows:


	$		% of Total
	(in thousands)
Year Ending December 31,
Remainder of 2022	$	1,262,407		51.3	%
2023		1,019,335		41.4
2024		180,761		7.3
Total remaining performance obligations	$	2,462,503		100	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous period decreased by $6.6 million, as compared to decreases of $8.5 million, in the same period in 2021. The current year decreases primarily relates 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.

We may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences 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.

The after-effects of the pandemic continue to evolve and affect supply chain performance and underlying assumptions in various ways – specifically with volatility in commodity and logistics costs. There were both significant price increases and supply constraints during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 with respect to resin and carbon fiber, which are key raw materials that we use to manufacture our products, as well as increases in logistics costs to obtain raw materials. We expect carbon fiber and related product supply will remain constrained. Production of carbon products is very energy intensive and although we are able to pass on a majority of cost increases onto our customers, rising energy costs could continue to adversely impact cost of materials. If the supply of resin feedstocks and carbon fiber continue to be constrained and the prices for these raw materials remain elevated for an extended period of time, such constraints and elevated price levels could have a further material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Although we believe that the onshore wind market will continue to grow over the long term, the expiration of the United States Production Tax Credit (PTC) at the end of 2021 and the lack of new policy or legislation has created uncertainty in the near term. We are monitoring legislative and regulatory policy proposals to extend or expand tax credits and other programs in the United States to promote wind energy.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $112.6 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 March 31, 2022, this included $10.6 million in China, $3.0 million in Turkey, $2.4 million in India, $1.8 million in Mexico and $0.5 million in other countries. As of December 31, 2021, this included $25.9 million in China, $42.6 million in Turkey, $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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts in the U.S. of $9.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively, which are reported as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we reported an income tax provision of $2.9 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $7.1 million in the comparative prior year period. This increase resulted primarily from the change in the mix of earnings of foreign jurisdictions and an increase in U.S. valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions compared to the same period in 2021.

No changes in tax law occurred during the three months ended March 31, 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.

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 early stage of this claim, we have determined that the ultimate outcome cannot be 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, 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 U.S., China, Mexico, Turkey, 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

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there have been both price increases and supply constraints as compared to the same period in 2021, for key raw materials that we use to manufacture our products, as well as increases in logistics costs to obtain raw materials. Carbon fiber prices have increased primarily due to the cost of raw material inputs as well as increased global demand for carbon fiber across multiple industries. We expect that the price of resin and carbon fiber will remain at elevated levels for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Approximately 60% of the resin and resin systems, and approximately 90% of carbon fiber we use is purchased under contracts either controlled or borne by two of our customers, and therefore these customers receive/bear 100% of any decrease or increase in resin prices. With respect to our other customer supply agreements, our customers typically receive/bear 70% of any raw material price decreases or increases. If the supply of resin feedstocks and carbon fiber continue to be constrained for an extended period of time, such shortages could impact our ability to meet our customers’ forecasted demand for our products for the remainder of 2022 and 2023 and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations for the remainder of 2022 and 2023.

Although all of our manufacturing facilities currently are operating without any COVID-19 impacts or restrictions, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences 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. However, our global supply chain was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and our global supply chain may continue to be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic persists. In addition, certain of our customers source the purchase of certain key raw materials and components, including resin and carbon. In 2021, these customers had challenges procuring adequate supplies of resin and carbon fiber, which had an adverse impact on our production volumes and results of operations and could adversely impact our business in 2022 if such challenges persist.

We expect decreased demand for our wind blades from our customers during the remainder of 2022 and 2023. We believe this decrease in demand is due to the continued global renewable energy regulatory and policy uncertainty and the raw material and logistics cost increases mentioned above. We believe that uncertainty around potential legislation in the U.S. to extend the Production Tax Credit (PTC) on a long-term basis is causing developers to delay project timelines in anticipation of being able to build projects at higher PTC levels if such extensions are implemented.

We are forecasting to incur a total of approximately $3.1 million of restructuring charges associated with our global footprint alignment and consolidation in 2022 relating to our China and North America operations.

Effective January 1, 2022, the functional currency for our operations in Turkey changed from Turkish Lira to Euros. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 830 (ASC 830), “Foreign Currency Matters,” requires a change in functional currency to be reported as of the date it is determined there has been a change, and it is generally accepted practice that the change is made at the start of the most recent period that approximates the date of the change.

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 change over time in the primary economic and business environment in which we operate.

Based on the analysis of the Turkish 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. See Footnote 1, Significant Accounting Policies, for more details.

Total net sales	$	384,870	$	404,680	$	(19,810	)		(4.9	)%

The decrease in net sales of wind blades during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by a 26% decrease in the number of wind blades produced due to a reduction in manufacturing lines and 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. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in volume. Additionally, there was an increase in our field service, inspection and repair service sales during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to an increase in demand for such services. Transportation sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to an increase in volume of transportation products. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro in our operations in Turkey and the Chinese Renminbi in our China operations had an unfavorable impact of 2.2% on consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the 2021 period.

NM - not meaningful

The decrease in the U.S. segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period 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 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 months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Transportation sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to an increase in volume of transportation products.

Asia Segment

The following table summarizes our net sales by product/service for the Asia segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2022		2021		$			%
	(in thousands)
Wind blade sales	$	36,399	$	72,503	$	(36,104	)		(49.8	)%

Total net sales	$	41,346	$	76,928	$	(35,582	)		(46.3	)%

The decrease in the Asia segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 70% decrease in the number of wind blades produced, due to a reduction of contracted manufacturing lines in China and the startup of additional lines in 2022. The net sales decrease during the three months ended

March 31, 2022 was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to a change in the mix of wind blades produced in the two comparative periods.

Mexico Segment

The following table summarizes our net sales by product/service for the Mexico segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2022		2021		$			%
	(in thousands)
Wind blade sales	$	129,606	$	108,442	$	21,164			19.5	%

Total net sales	$	130,396	$	116,752	$	13,644			11.7	%

The increase in the Mexico segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily due to the commencement of production at our second manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico that we took over from Nordex in July 2021, and also reflects an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to the mix of wind blades produced in the two comparative periods. The increase in net sales of wind blades was partially offset by the stop of production in one of our Juarez, Mexico facilities at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021.

EMEA Segment

The following table summarizes our net sales by product/service for the EMEA segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2022		2021		$			%
	(in thousands)
Wind blade sales	$	146,849	$	111,027	$	35,822			32.3	%

Total net sales	$	149,685	$	112,366	$	37,319			33.2	%

The increase in the EMEA segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily driven by a 23% increase in wind blade production at our two Turkey plants, as well as an increase in the average sales price of wind blades produced in the two comparative periods. These net sales increases were partially offset by currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 5.6% on net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the 2021 period.

India Segment

The following table summarizes our net sales by product/service for the India segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

U.S. Segment

The increase in the loss from operations in the U.S. segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the decrease in wind blade volume due to the shutdown of production at our Newton, Iowa manufacturing facility.

Asia Segment

The decrease in the income from operations in the Asia segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the decrease in the net sales of wind blades, restructuring charges incurred at our Taicang City and Dafeng manufacturing facilities and foreign currency fluctuations. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi had an unfavorable impact of 1.1% on cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the 2021 period.

Mexico Segment

The increase in the loss from operations in the Mexico segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to direct material and startup and transition costs related to the Matamoros, Mexico facility that we took over from Nordex in July 2021, and a decrease in wind blade volume, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades as compared to the 2021 period. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican Peso had a favorable impact of 0.2% on cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the 2021 period.

EMEA Segment

The increase in the income from operations in the EMEA segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by increased wind blade production at our two Turkey manufacturing facilities, an increase in the average sales price of wind blades produced and a decrease in startup and transition costs, partially offset by an increase in direct material costs as compared to the 2021 period. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 8.5% on cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the 2021 period.

India Segment

The increase in the loss from operations in the India segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease in volume due to the transition of two of our manufacturing lines from one type of wind blade to a new type of wind blade and the continued expansion of our India manufacturing facility, resulting in an increase in manufacturing overhead costs. The increase in net loss was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades.

Other income (expense)

The following table summarizes our total other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Change
	2022			2021			$			%
	(in thousands)
Interest expense, net	$	(769	)	$	(2,704	)	$	1,935			71.6	%
Foreign currency income (loss)		210			(3,727	)		3,937			105.6
Miscellaneous income		542			739			(197	)		(26.7	)
Total other income (expense)	$	(17	)	$	(5,692	)	$	5,675			99.7	%

The decrease in the total other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a decrease in the foreign currency loss due to the change in functional currency at our Turkey 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 $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to net proceeds under our financing arrangements of $17.3 million in the comparable period of 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $51.7 million and $74.6 million in outstanding indebtedness, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of $107.5 million of remaining capacity for cash and non-cash financing, including $84.3 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, and cash flows 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $130.9 million and $242.2 million, respectively. The March 31, 2022 balance includes $18.3 million of cash located outside of the United States, including $10.6 million in China, $3.0 million in Turkey, $2.4 million in India, $1.8 million in Mexico and $0.5 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% ($26.7 million as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of the surplus reserve fund was $10.0 million. 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 March 31, 2022 was $51.7 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.

Cash Flow Discussion

The following table summarizes our key cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022			2021			$ Change
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(81,054	)	$	6,740		$	(87,794	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(5,516	)		(18,786	)		13,270

Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(111,456	)	$	6,376		$	(117,832	)

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $87.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in our operating loss, an increase in accounts receivable due to delayed payments from a customer, and a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is due to an increase in contract assets, which was the result of increased procurement of customer specific materials in order to minimize the risk of potential production disruptions that may occur give the recent COVID-19 impacts in China and geopolitical uncertainties with the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 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 $30 million and we estimate that the cost that we will incur after March 31, 2022 to complete our current projects in process will be approximately $6.9 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 include the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Chennai, India and the continued investment in our existing Tukey, Mexico, China and U.S. facilities.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of 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 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 March 31, 2022:


Year Of Initial Agreement	Segment(s) Related To	Current Annual Discount Rate
2014	Mexico	LIBOR plus 0.75%
2018	Mexico	LIBOR plus 1.25%
2018	EMEA	EURIBOR plus 0.75%
2019	Asia and Mexico	LIBOR plus 1.00%
2019	Asia	Fixed rate of 3.85%
2020	EMEA	EURIBOR plus 1.95%
2020	India	LIBOR plus 1.00%
2020	U.S.	LIBOR plus 1.25%
2021	Mexico	LIBOR plus 1.25%

As the receivables are purchased by the financial institutions under the agreements noted above, the receivables are removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $220.1 million and $294.1 million of receivables were sold under the accounts receivable assignment agreements described above.

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.

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, 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 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 $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 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 $5.0 million for the full year 2022. With respect to our other customer supply agreements, our customers typically receive/bear 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 March 31, 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 Interim 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and operating effectiveness as of March 31, 2022 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 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 14, 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic however we cannot estimate the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and our business may be adversely affected in the future if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect our manufacturing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, our manufacturing facility in Yangzhou, China was shut down for approximately three weeks during the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in Yangzhou City, which had an adverse impact on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Although all of our manufacturing facilities currently are operating at or near normal production levels, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences 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. However, our global supply chain has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 and our global supply chain may continue to be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.
