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, 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, are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated 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 of COVID-19 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 or third quarter To theof 2020.The extent of the impact of the pandemic depends on future developments which are highly uncertainuncertain. Accordingly, 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 JuneSeptember 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 JuneSeptember 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 issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 during the fourth quarter of 2019 that will postpone the effective date to the year beginning after December 15, 2022. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), which amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 (SAB119) which contains interpretative guidance from the SEC aligned to the FASB’s ASC 326. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of 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.

 

Note 3. – Revised Presentation of Statement of Cash Flows

 

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cashflows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 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.

 

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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 contained herein,. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency has been and continues to be presented in a separate line item as part of the reconciliation of the change in cash equivalents during the period.

 

The revisions to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, which had no effect on the net change in cash and cash equivalents, are summarized in the following table:

Note 4. – Long-term Investments

 

Saint-Gobain Joint Venture

 

On January 11, 2019, we entered into 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 (“Vidrio Andino”), a Colombia-based subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. (“Saint-Gobain”). The purchase price for our interest in this entity was $45 million, of which $34.1 was paid in cash, and $10.9 million is to be paid with a piece of land near our existing facility in Barranquilla, which will be contributed bywe acquired in October 2020 from a related party and which was previously owned by members of our Chief Executive Officer´s familyfamily. In connection with this transaction, we conducted a third party valuation conducted to ensure the transaction was on arm´s length terms. On October 28, 2020 we paid for the land through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, at $7.00 per shares, which represents an approximate 33% premium based on the last sale price on October 27, 2020. The land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect towill 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 once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relatein relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of that date, the Company recorded the investment within Long-term assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet for $45.0 million and a liability for $10.9 million within current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet to be settled with the contribution of the aforementioned piece of land. Since the date of the acquisition, we have recognized the proportionalproportionate share of Vidrio Andino’s net income using the equity method on the 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 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 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).

As a subsequent event, on October 30, 2020, we entered into a new $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, consisting of a $250 million delayed draw term loan and a $50 million committed revolving credit facility, with a maturity date of October 31, 2025. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the borrowing capacity to $325 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facilities. The Company’s existing $210 million unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at a rate of 8.2% and mature in 2022, are expected to be redeemed in full following a step down in redemption price at the end of January 2021. We plan to use the remaining proceeds and available cash for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. This new facility, with its improved pricing, should significantly reduce our cost of capital, including anticipated annual cash interest savings of approximately $11 million on current outstanding borrowings.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 reflects the effect of this refinancing of the Company’s current portion of long term debt and other current borrowings into long term debt based on the Company’s intent as of that date, as per guidance of ASC 470, which states that a short-term obligation shall be excluded from current liabilities if the entity intends to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis and the intent to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis is supported by a post-balance-sheet-date closing of this credit agreement.

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 years. The right-of-use assets are depreciatedassets’ depreciation and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Additionally, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had a commitment for $12$11 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.

Note 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the fair value of foreign currency collar contracts was in a net liability position of $1,379.$635. We had 2414 outstanding collar contracts to exchange 2614 million U.S. Dollars to Colombian Pesos through 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

 

We assess the effectiveness of our foreign currency collar contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the collar contracts to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our foreign currency collar contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next eight months, is $1,379.$635.

 

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges is classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 8 - 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:

 

 June 30, 2020  December 31, 2019  September 30, 2020  December 31, 2019 
Fair Value  239,890   259,814   256,631   259,814 
Carrying Value  243,808   243,727   246,207   243,727 

 

Note 10. Income Taxes

 

The Company files income tax returns for TG, ES and ES Metals in the Republic of Colombia. GM&P, Componenti and ESW LLC are U.S. entities based in Florida subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The estimated combined state and federal income tax rate is estimated at a rate of 26.5% based on the recently enacted U.S. Tax Reform. Tecnoglass Inc. as well as all the other subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands do not currently have any tax obligations.

Effective tax rate  30%  (34,0)%  40%  (37)%  28%  17%  42%  39%

 

The weighted average statutory income tax rate for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 was 28.0%28% and 33%17%, respectively. The effective income tax raterates of 42% and 39% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 of 40% reflectsand 2019, respectively, reflect the impact of unrealized foreign currency transaction losses related to the remeasurement of long-term liabilities of our Colombian subsidiaries which are expected to be realized at a later year in which a lower income tax rate is expected to apply. The Company’s effective income tax rate of 17% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 differs from the weighted average statutory rate primarily as a result of a 17.3% decrease related to permanent differences, a 10.8% decrease related to non-deductible expense, partially offset by unrealized foreign currency transaction losses which contribute to an increase of 12.1% in the reconciliation of effective income tax rate to statutory rate.

Commitments

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $14,449$12,215 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 Andinothis entity was $45 million, of which $34.1 million was paid in cash, and $10.9 million is to be paid through the contributionwith a piece of land to be contributed onnear our behalf byexisting facility in Barranquilla, which we acquired in October 2020 from a related party and which was previously owned by members of our Chief Executive OfficerOfficer´s family with a third party valuation was conducted to ensure arm´s length terms. On October 28, 2020 the land was paid for through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, at $7.00 per share, which represented an approximate 33% premium based on last sale price on October 27, 2020.The land will be contributed 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 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 49% of the Colombian market in 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 acquisitions that have allowed us added control over our supply chain allowed for further vertical integration of our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the 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. In March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest 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, weWe 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.

As of September 30, 2020, we had had cash of $69.4 million and sufficient access to credit, providing sufficient access to capital. On October 30, 2020, we entered into a new $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, consisting of a $250 million delayed draw term loan and a $50 million committed revolving credit facility, with a maturity date in 2025. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the borrowing capacity to $325 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under its previous credit facilities. The Company’s existing $210 million unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at a rate of 8.2% and mature in 2022, are expected to be redeemed in full following a step down in redemption price at the end of January 2021. We plan to use the remaining proceeds and available cash for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. This new facility, with its improved pricing, should significantly reduce our cost of capital, including anticipated annual cash interest savings of approximately $11 million on current outstanding borrowings.

The decreaseSince the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, lockdowns and other preventive measures slowed down our business, especially in Latin America where sales decreased $8.0 million, or 51.1%, from $15.6 million to $7.6 million. In contrast, stronger activity in US markets turned positive growth year over year, with $95.7 million in sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, up $2.8 million, or 3.0%, from $92.8 million in the prior year quarter. U.S. Sales growth was impacteddriven by 15 days lessincrease in Single Family Residential sales, which increased $0.8 million, or 4.0%, from $18.2 million to $19.0 million, as well as multi-family and commercial market sales.

Since the initial impact of workCOVID-19 in early April as we shut down our manufacturing facility in Colombia during the initial stages of the COVID-19 nationwide shelter-in-place order. Though some mandatory shelter-in-place measures are still in place, our business has been deemed essential and we resumed operations in mid-April, since then,2020, our invoicing increased sequentially month-to-month through the third quarter of 2020. Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased $21.4 million, or 26.1%, over $81.9 million in sales during the quarter. Additionally, some of our Latin American markets continue to present challenges to come back to full operations as job sites prepare to operate in a safely manner.

Sales in the U.S. markets decreased $20.2 million or 20.3% in the secondimmediately preceding quarter of 2020 to $79.1 million compared with $99.3 during the same period of 2019. US Single Family residential sales decreased $4.8 million, or 23%, from $20.6 million in 2019 to $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.

The margin enhancement was the result of increased raw material efficiency derived from advantageous aluminum commodity prices, waste reduction benefit from our automation initiatives and better control efforts, a reduction in cost of installation work as manufacturing represented a higher portion of our revenue mix, and a reduction of labor costs driven by the automation of manufacturing processes paired with favorable foreign currency exchange rates. These margin improvements were partially offset by a negative effect of fixed cost being diluted over a lower revenue base.

Capital Resources

 

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, we made investments primarily in building and construction, and machinery and equipment in the amounts of $8.3$14.7 million, and $15.2$21.4 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, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain. 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’s family 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. On October 28, 2020 the land was paid for through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, at $7.00 per share, which represented an approximate 33% premium based on last sale price as of October 27, 2020.

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).

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, operating activities generated $24.8$51.0 million and $7.3$9.2 million, respectively. The positive cashflow from operations during the first half of 2020 has been related to a much higher profitability year over year, enhanced working capital efforts, easing working capital requirements to serve tapered sales during the period, and our efforts to preserve cash and solidify our liquidity position and preparedness as we continue to weather through the pandemic.

The main source of operating cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were contract assets and liabilities which generated $20.5 million, resulting from a combination of a decrease in retainage as several jobs in the US were finalized, a reduction of unbilled receivables tied to our advance on projects currently in execution, and increase advances received from customers on fixed price contracts. In contrast, Contract assets and liabilities used $5.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Trade accounts receivables generated $6.4 million and used $29.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The change in trend from a steep use in 2019 to a positive cashflow in 2020 generated is related to accelerated sales growth in the previous year in contrast with tapered sales during the current year. Additionally, the cashflow from Trade Accounts receivable does not reflect the impact of a $9.6 million reduction of trade accounts receivable that were sold to the previous owner of GM&P on a non-recourse basis to the Seller, receiving cash netted by a financial discount over the notional amount.. The largest use of cash in operating activities was trade accounts receivables,payable, which generated $13.8used $16.3 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, in contrastcompared with a use of $22.1 million, and our main use of operating cashflow was trade accounts payables, which used $10.4 million, in contrast with $12.6$3.6 million generated during the prior year period.

nine months ended September 30, 2019.

For the period ended JuneSeptember 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 JuneSeptember 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 from operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and are currently reporting a usecashflow of $7.3$9.2 million generated, compared with an originally reported usecashflow of $9.0 million.$7.5 million generated.

We used $7.2$13.4 million and $47.9$54.2 million in investing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The main use of cash in investing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was related to scheduled maintenance Capex and the completion of our previously announced expansion and automation initiatives that are now mostly completed. 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 venture with Saint-Gobain described above under Capital Resources. Additionally, during the first halfnine months of 2019, the company paid $13.8$19.9 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with $1.4$1.5 million acquired under credit, amount to total Capital Expenditures of $15.2$21.4 million. During 2020, we used $7.4$13.7 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$14.7 million.

 

Financing activities generated $1.8used $15.2 million, mainly from proceedsdue to repayments of debt as we have secured our strong liquidity position.debt. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, financing activities generated $55.1$54.7 million as a result of an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,551,423 ordinary shares, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $36.5 million, in addition to net proceeds from debt for $38.5minus repayments amounting to $21.9 million, mostly related to a $30 million five-year term facility, proceeds which were mostly used to repay then existing short-term debt we had accumulated to fund working capital required to support sales growth over fiscal year 2018.
