Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and could differ materially. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, and are of a normal, recurring nature.

 

The Company has one operating segment, Architectural Glass and Windows, which is also its reporting segment, comprising the design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and installation of high-specification architectural glass and window product sold to the construction industry.

Principles of Consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI, its subsidiaries Tecnoglass S.A.S (“TG”), C.I. Energía Solar S.A.S E.S. Windows (“ES”), ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”), Tecno RE LLC (“Tecno RE”), GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”), Componenti USA LLC (“Componenti”) and ES Metals SAS (“ES Metals”), which are entities in which we have a controlling financial interest because we hold a majority voting interest. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation, including unrealized intercompany profits and losses. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in affiliates and other joint ventures over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

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

Impairment

We review goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment each year on December 31st or more frequently when events or significant changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The novel coronavirus global outbreak and its associated economic impact, including a significant decrease in the market price of our ordinary shares, was considered a triggering event as of the first quarter of 2020, requiring us to reassess our goodwill and long-lived asset valuations, as well as assumptions of future income from underlying assets, and there was no new trigger in the second quarter To the extent the impact of the pandemic depends on future developments which are highly uncertain we will continue to evaluate in future periods whether these assumptions are reasonable and will update the forecasts and impairment analysis as appropriate.

Based on our analysis as of June 30, 2020 we concluded that no impairment needs to be recorded to our goodwill using the market approach as the market capitalization of our company, which has a single reporting unit, exceeds the book value of shareholders equity.

Based on our analysis as of June 30, 2020 we concluded that no impairment needs to be recorded to our long-lived assets as their carrying value are below their realizable values based on projected future cashflows estimated with assumptions deemed reasonable by management based on information currently available. The Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company’s market capitalization, and general industry, market and macro-economic conditions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the allowance for credit losses accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The new model is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, thereby bringing consistency in accounting treatment across different types of financial instruments and requiring consideration of a broader range of variables when forming loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, (with early application permitted). The FASB has announced that it will issue an updateissued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 during the fourth quarter of 2019 that will postpone the effective date further intoto the future. During 2019,year beginning after December 15, 2022. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 with Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial2020-02 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), which amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 (SAB119) which contains interpretative guidance from the SEC aligned to the FASB’s ASC 326. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 8485): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this Update is effective for the Company on December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments under ASU 2017-12 refine and expand hedge accounting requirements for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. Its provisions create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the faceNote 3. – Revised Presentation of the financial statements and in the footnotes. It also makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the applicationStatement of hedge accounting guidance. ASU 2017-12 became effective for us in the first quarter of 2019. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we entered into foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts which we have designated as cash flow hedges and are accounting for as derivative financial instruments to which we are applying the provisions of ASU 2017-12. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2019 we did not have any hedging derivatives and therefore prior periods will not be affected by this pronouncement.

New Accounting Standards ImplementedCash Flows

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP) and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company is the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019.

The Company did not adjust the comparative periods presented as the FASB provided entities the option to instead apply the provisions of the new leases guidance using the modified retrospective application approach.The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which allowed the company to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and direct costs.The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified, primarily for certain equipment leases that are month-to-month leases. This means, for those leases, we did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets.

We have identified and analyzed our lease portfolio and evaluated the new reporting and disclosure requirements of the new guidance, and our lease-related processes and internal controls. The adoption of this standard had no material impact to the Company’s financial statements, as, under prior guidance, we had recognized capital leases which correspond to the right-of-use asset and lease liability described under the new guidance. This standard does not have a significant impact on our liquidity or on our debt covenant compliance under our current agreements.

As of January 1, 2019, the Company had $378 finance lease right-of-use assets related to computing equipment and a lease liability for $380 on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $449 finance lease right-of-use assets related to computing equipment and a lease liability for $559 on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The lease agreements include terms to extend the lease, however the Company does not intend to extend its current leases. The weighted average remaining lease term approximates 2.8 years. The right-of-use assets are depreciated and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.Cashflows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 has been revised to correct errors in the classification of the impact of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in any currency other than the functional currency. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement and concluded it was not material to any previously reported quarterly or annual period financial statements.

 

Additionally,Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which include currency translation differences on monetary items that form part of investing or financing activities, such as long-term loans, are presented as a reconciling item from net income to cashflow from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019 contained herein,. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the Company hadreporting currency has been and continues to be presented in a commitment for $66 under operating leases related to short term apartment leases, installation equipment and computing equipment which expire during the current year that have not been capitalized due to their short-term nature. Rental expense from these leases is recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement as incurred. Finance lease costs, including amortization of the right-of-use assets and interest expense, short term lease cost, and related cashflows have not been material as of September 30, 2019.

Leases Accounting Policy

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We include finance lease right-of-use assetsseparate line item as part of property and equipment and the lease liability as partreconciliation of our current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leases considered short-term are not capitalized, given our election notthe change in cash equivalents during the period.

The revisions to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases, but instead considered operating leases and the resulting rental expense is recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of OperationsCashflows as incurred.of June 30, 2019, which had no effect on the net change in cash and cash equivalents, are summarized in the following table:

 

Finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

The land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect to carry significant efficiencies for us once it becomes operative. Vidrio Andino’s float glass plant located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, has been one of our main suppliers of raw glass. We believe this transaction will solidify our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs.

 

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino with a cash payment of $34.1 million, and the land still to be contributed by January 2020,once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as perthey relate to the agreement.ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of that date, the Company recorded the investment within Long-term assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for $45.0 million and a liability for $10.9 million within current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance to be settled with the contribution of the aforementioned piece of land. Since the date of the acquisition, we have recognized the proportional share of Vidrio Andino’s net income using the equity method on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income as the Company is deemed to have significant influence, but does not have effective control of Vidrio Andino.

 

Establishment of a new subsidiary

In January 2019 we established E.S. Windows California, LLC., a wholly-owned U.S. entity to serve as a distributor of our products in certain jurisdictions within the U.S. markets.

 

In April 2019, ESMetals, a Colombian entity in which the Company has 70% equity interest began operations. ESMetals serves as a metalwork contractor to supply the Company with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy. When the company owns a majority (but less than 100%) of a subsidiary’s stock, the Company includes in its Consolidated Financial Statements the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income and, as included in Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. In determining the fair value, we used the income approach and the market approach which was performed by third party valuation specialists under management.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

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

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

Note 8.9. Hedging Activity and Fair Value Measurements

 

Hedging Activity

 

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

 

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

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts was in a net liability position of $1,390.$1,379. We had 2024 outstanding forward and collar contracts to exchange 4426 million U.S. Dollars to Colombian Pesos through August 2020.February 2021. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was insignificant and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

 

We assess the effectiveness of our foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contractcollar contracts to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of losses, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next eleveneight months, is $1,390.$1,379.

 

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges areis classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, are as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and advances from customers approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities. The Company bases its fair value estimate for long term debt obligations on its internal valuation that all debt is floating rate debt based on current interest rates in Colombia.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 78 - Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted with our average cost of debt, which is based on market rates, which are level 2 inputs.

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long-term debt:

 

 September 30, 2019  December 31, 2018  June 30, 2020  December 31, 2019 
Fair Value  266,906   234,163   239,890   259,814 
Carrying Value  247,776   220,709   243,808   243,727

Note 11.12. Shareholders’ Equity

 

Dividends

 

The Company originally authorized the payment of four regular quarterly dividends to holders of ordinary shares at a quarterly rate of $0.125 per share, with the first quarterly dividend being paid on November 1, 2016. The dividends were payable in cash or ordinary shares, at the option of the holders of ordinary shares. On May 11, 2017, the Company announced that commencing with the declared quarterly dividend for the third quarter of 2017 through any future dividends to be declared and paid through the second quarter of 2018, a 12% increase to $0.14 per share.

On November 5, 2019,June 23, 2020, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.14$0.0275 per share, or $0.11 per share on an annualized basis, for the thirdfirst quarter of 2019, which2020. The quarterly dividend will be paid in cash on December 20, 2019July 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 29, 2019. The dividend will be paid in cash or ordinary shares, to be chosen at the option of holders of ordinary shares during an election period beginning December 2, 2019 and lasting until 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on December 13, 2019. The value of the ordinary shares to be used to calculate the number of shares to be issued with respect to that portion of the dividend payable in ordinary shares shall be the average of the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on NASDAQ during the period from December 2, 2019 through December 13, 2019. If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend for this election period will be paid in ordinary shares of the Company.

The Company analyzed the accounting guidance under ASC 505 and determined that this guidance is not applicable since the dividend are shares of the same class in which each shareholder is given an election to receive cash or shares. As such, the Company analyzed the dividend under ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and concluded that the dividend should be accounted for as a liability since the dividend is a fixed monetary amount known at inception. A reclassification from dividend payable to additional paid-in capital was done for the stock dividend elections.

As a result, the Company issued 1,875,053 shares for the share dividends resulting in $14,169 being credited to Capital and paid $2,170 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Dividend declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.July 8, 2020.

Note 12.13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $21,795$14,449 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier before May 2026.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino. The purchase price for our interest in Vidrio Andino was $45 million, of which $34.1 million was paid in cash and $10.9 million to be paid through the contribution of land to be contributed on our behalf by a related party owned by members of our Chief Executive Officer once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relate to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The joint venture agreement includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our primary manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12.5 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021 if needed (based on debt availability).

 

General Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the regular course of business. Some disputes are derived directly from our construction projects, related to supply and installation, and even though deemed ordinary, they may involve significant monetary damages. We are also subject to other type of litigations arising from employment practices, worker’s compensation, automobile claims and general liability. It is very difficult to predict precisely what the outcome of these litigations might be. However, with the information at our disposition as this time, there are no indications that such claims will result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Overview

 

We are a vertically-integratedvertically integrated manufacturer, supplier and installer of architectural glass, windows and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction markets. With a focus on innovation, combined with providing highly specified products with the highest quality standards at competitive prices, we have developed a leadership position in each of our core markets. In the United States, which is our largest market, we were ranked as the second largest glass fabricator in 2019 by Glass Magazine. In addition, we believe we are the leading glass transformation company in Colombia. Based on our analysis of third-party industry sources we had an estimated market share of over 45%49% of the Colombian market in 2017.2019. Our customers, which include developers, general contractors or installers for hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, airports, universities, hospitals and multi-family and residential buildings, look to us as a value-added partner based on our product development capabilities, our high-quality products and our unwavering commitment to exceptional service.

 

We have more than 30 years of experience in architectural glass and aluminum profile structure assembly, we transform a variety of glass products, including tempered safety, double thermo-acoustic and laminated glass. Our finished glass products are installed in a wide variety of buildings across a number of different applications, including floating facades, curtain walls, windows, doors, handrails, interior and bathroom spatial dividers. We also produce aluminum products such as profiles, rods, bars, plates and other hardware used in the manufacturing of windows.

 

Our products are manufactured in a 2.7 million square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Barranquilla, Colombia that provides easy access to North, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Our products can be found on some of the most distinctive buildings in these regions including El Dorado Airport (Bogota), 50 United Nations Plaza (New York), Trump Plaza (Panama), Icon Bay (Miami), and Salesforce Tower (San Francisco). Our track record of successfully delivering high profile projects has earned us an increasing number of opportunities across the United States, evidenced by our expanding backlog and overall revenue growth.

 

Our structural competitive advantage is underpinned by our low-cost manufacturing footprint, vertically integrated business model and geographic location. Our integrated facilities in Colombia and distribution and services operations in Florida provide us with a significant cost advantage in both manufacturing and distribution, and we continue to invest in these operations to expand our operational capabilities. Our lower cost manufacturing footprint allows us to offer competitive prices for our customers, while also providing innovative, high quality and high value-added products, together with consistent and reliable service. We have historically generated high margin organic growth based on our position as a value-added solutions provider for our customers.

We have a strong presence in the Florida market, which represents a substantial portion of our revenue stream and backlog. Our success in Florida has primarily been achieved through sustained organic growth, with further penetration now taking place into other highly populated areas of the United States. As part of our strategy to become a fully vertically integrated company, we have supplemented our organic growth with some recent acquisitions that have allowed us added control over our supply chain. In March 2017, we completedchain allowed for further vertical integration of our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest installation customer.United States. In 2016, we completed the acquisition of ESW, which gave us control over the distribution of products into the United States from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia. These acquisitions allowed for further vertical integrationIn March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the United States. Furthermore, onlargest installation customer.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, solidifying our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs. Additionally, in April 2019, ESMetals, a Colombian entity in which the Company has 70% equity interest began operations. ESMetals serves as a metalwork contractor to supply the Company with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy.

 

The continued diversification of the group’s presence and product portfolio is a core component of our strategy. In particular, we are actively seeking to expand our presence in United States outside of Florida. We also launched a residential windows offering which, we believe, will help us expand our presence in the United States and generate additional organic growth. We believe that the quality of our products, coupled with our ability to price competitively given our structural advantages on cost, will allow us to generate further growth in the future.

 

On March 24, 2020, Colombia went into a mandatory lockdown as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak. As a result, the Company temporarily suspended production at its facilities in Colombia through April 13, 2020 during the initial phase of the nationwide shelter-in-place order. While the shelter-in-place order was subsequently extended to May 25, 2020, the Company resumed full operations at its facilities on April 14, 2020 given its exempted designation as a supplier of critical products to essential business sectors such as infrastructure and construction. At the same time as most of our customers in the United States and Colombia are resuming their activities. During the period that production was suspended, vacation days were used to retain eligible employees and the Company used the time to implement broad safety measures before returning to normal operations.

The Company entered the pandemic with a strong financial position along with the flexibility required to support its global operations during this volatile period. As of June 30, 2020, we had had cash of $63.4 million plus an additional $73.4 million of availability under existing lines of credit, providing sufficient access to capital. In addition, we have implemented strict cost controls, reduced operating expenses and limited all non-critical capital expenditures beyond the completion of initiatives started in 2019. We anticipate that working capital will continue to be a net benefit to cash flow for the full year 2020.

US Single Family residential sales decreased $4.8 million, or 23%, from $12.1$20.6 million in 2019 to $13.0$15.8 million in 2020 mainly as a result of the aforementioned reduced operational activity related to COVID-19 shelter in place orders.

Sales in our Latin American markets, including Colombia, have been slow to return to activity after mandatory Coronavirus lockdowns in March and April. Despite construction having been deemed essential businesses, construction sites have been slow to prepare to operate under new safety standards. Sales to these regions decreased $11.8 million, or 80.8%, from $14.6 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively. The moderate increaseto $2.8 million in the Colombian market sales could be indicative of a slow recovery the Company expects in the near and mid-term future following a two-year period of economic slowdown.2020.

Capital Resources

 

On January 11,We transform glass and aluminum into high specification architectural glass and custom-made aluminum profiles which require significant investments in state-of-the-art technology. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we entered intomade investments primarily in building and construction, and machinery and equipment in the amounts of $8.3 million, and $15.2 million, respectively.

In 2019, we carried out enhancements at our glass and aluminum facilities to increase production capacity and automate operations. The Company completed this aluminum capacity expansion in July 2019 and implemented its glass transformation process automation initiative in the first quarter of 2020.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, Holdings S.A.S, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain. The purchase price for our interest in this entityVidrio Andino was $45 million, of which $34.1 million werewas paid in cash and a $10.9 million lotto be paid through the contribution of land near our facility in Barranquilla, which willto be contributed on our behalf by a related party owned by members of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, José M. Daes and Christian T. Daes withOfficer’s family once a third-party valuationcomplete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relate to be conducted. Vidrio Andino’s float glass plant located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, had been one of our main suppliers of raw glass. We believe this transaction solidifies our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs. The acquisition was consummated on May 3, 2019, and under the joint venture agreement, Saint Gobain will retain a majority ownership position and will have control over the operations of Vidrio Andino Holdings SAS and as such, the transaction is being accounted for under the equity method.

ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The joint venture agreement also includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our mainprimary manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12.5 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021.2021 if needed (based on debt availability).

 

Additionally, the Company is carrying out enhancements at its glass and aluminum facilities to increase production capacity and automate operations. The Company anticipates that these high return investments will speed up production processes in response to strong customer demand, especially for aluminum products. The Company expects to improve efficiency in its glass production by automating certain processes to increase capacity, while reducing material waste and overall lead times. In its aluminum operations, the Company intends to benefit from a 25% increase in capacity and favorable operating leverage with the addition of an aluminum furnace and a new extrusion line, along with working capital improvements through the automation of warehousing systems. The Company completed this aluminum capacity expansion in the middle of July of 2019 and expects the full implementation of its automation initiatives by the end of 2019, with a total anticipated investment of approximately $23 million with this funding being executed since the end of 2018 and expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2020 (as some payments are expected post completion based on certain performance conditions). The Company expects to continue funding these capital investments mainly with cash on hand.

Net of repayments, we generated $23.7 million from debt while continuing the decrease of its leverage metrics given the Company´s continued growth and profitability.period.

 

The CompanyFor the period ended June 30, 2019 we have modified the way we present the impact of foreign currency transactions on our Statement of Cash Flows as there has been volatility and significant fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Colombian Peso, which is the functional currency of our subsidiaries that carry most of our operations. Previously, the impact of unrealized non-cash foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in any currency other than the functional currency have been included within the individual line item affected within cashflows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities, as appropriate. As of June 30, 2020, unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which include currency translation differences on monetary items that form part of investing or financing activities, such as long-term loans, are presented as a reconciling item from net income to cashflow from operating activities. While during prior periods, unrealized currency translation differences on monetary items that form part of operating activities, such as trade accounts receivables and payables, were presented within each line item, we are now presenting them within the reconciliation of net income to cashflow from operations, so as to better present the economic reality of the cashflows during the period. As a result of this, we have revised the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and are currently reporting a use of $7.3 million, compared with an originally reported use of $9.0 million.

We used $54.8$7.2 million and $12.9$47.9 million in investing activities during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During 2019, the main use of cash in investing activities was a payment for the acquisition of 25.8% equity interest in Vidrio Andino Holding, a joint-venturejoint venture with Saint-Gobain described above under Capital Resources. Additionally, during the first nine monthshalf of 2019, the company paid $19.9$13.8 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with $1.4 million acquired under credit, amount to total Capital Expenditures of $15.2 million. During 2020, we used $7.4 million for the acquisition or property and equipment. Including assets acquired with debt or supplier credit, total capital expenditures during the period were $8.3 million.
