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

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, 2020. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements in the Form 10-K 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 utilized 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.

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, if it is determined it is not, 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.

TGI and certain wholly owned subsidiaries with functional currency different than the U.S. dollar have long-term intercompany loan balances denominated in foreign currencies that are remeasured at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Such loan balances are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future. Any gains and losses relating to these loans are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the condensed 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 condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions are settled.

In June 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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~~postponed 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~~these ASUs on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments 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 are effective for the Company through December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company disaggregates its sales with customers by revenue recognition method for its only segment, as the Company believes these factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows.

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~~current. In addition, 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.~~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~~long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On October 2020, the Company entered into a $300million five-year term Senior Secured Credit Facility consisting of a $250million delayed draw term loan and a $50million committed revolving credit facility which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR, with a ~~0.75%~~ 0.75% floor, plus a spread of between ~~2.50%~~ 2.50% and ~~3.50%~~3.50%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The effective interest rate for this credit facility including deferred issuance costs is ~~4.37%~~4.37%. In December 2020, we drew $23.1million and used the proceeds of the long-term debt facility to repay several credit facilities. In January 2021, we drew an additional $220million and used the proceeds to redeem the Company’s existing $210million unsecured senior notes, which had an interest rate of ~~8.2%~~ 8.2% and matured in 2022. In relation to this, the Company accounted for debt extinguishment cost of $11.1million which included a call premium charge of $8.6million paid to exercise the call option, and $2.3million non-cash expenses corresponding to the unamortized portion of deferred cost of financing related to fees paid when the unsecured senior notes were originated in 2017. Subsequent to the end of the ~~first~~second quarter and based on Tecnoglass’ leverage ratio as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the ~~interestrate~~interest rate spread on the Company’s $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility ~~decreased 50 basis points~~continues to be at the lowest part of the grid, equivalent to a spread of 2.50% ~~in April 2021.~~.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all assets of the company are pledged as collateral for the $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility. This credit facility also includes covenants to maintain certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios with which the Company is in full compliance.

The Company was obligated under various finance leases under which the aggregate present value of the minimum lease payments amounted to $~~269~~ 222and $350 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In line with this, the Company recorded right-of-use assets related to computing equipment for $~~223~~184 and $321 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 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 ~~1,5~~1.3 years. The right-of-use assets’ depreciation and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Maturities of long-term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021:

		-
2022	$	13,748	$	13,375

The Company’s loans have maturities ranging from a few weeks to 5 ~~years.~~years. Our credit facilities bear an interest at a weighted average of rate ~~3.75%~~3.25% as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 ~~and have subsequently stepped down to~~ ~~3.25%~~ ~~in April 2021.~~.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the fair value of foreign currency collar contracts was not measured since we currently do not have any open contracts, ~~since these contracts were settled~~with the last settlements taking place in January and February 2021.

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 income 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 gains, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive income” line item in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, were reclassified to earnings during the first quarter of 2021 for $~~185~~.$185.

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges classified in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, are as follows:

The ending accumulated balance for the foreign currency collar contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, was $159 as of December 31, 2020, comprised of a derivative gain of $230 and an associated net tax liability of $71.

The following table presents the gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments, and their classifications within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three and six months ended ~~March 2021 and 2020:~~June 2021:

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 6 - 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~~at current market rates, which are level 2 inputs.

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

	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Fair Value		224,192		238,753		221,400		238,753
Carrying Value		221,635		222,722		218,949		222,722

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. Tecnoglass Inc. as well as all the other subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands do not currently have any tax obligations.

On ~~March 9,~~June 7, 2021, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.0275per share, or $0.11per share on an annualized basis. The dividend was paid on ~~April~~July 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020:

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $~~8,654~~4,503 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier before May 2026.

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%~~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 was contributed through a parcel of land to be used for the building of a second factory. 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%~~33% premium based on the Company´s share 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%~~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 if needed (based on debt availability as a first option).

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.

Management concluded that no additional subsequent events required disclosure other than those disclosed in these financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to “we”, “us” or “our” are to Tecnoglass Inc. (formerly Andina Acquisition Corporation), except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

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 2020 by Glass Magazine. In addition, we believe we are the leading glass transformation company in Colombia. 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 3035 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~~3.0 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.

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.

In early 2020, initial COVID-19 lockdowns and other preventive measures slowed down our business, especially in Latin America as several customers halted activities and we shut down our manufacturing facilities in Colombia between March 24, 2020 and April 13, 2020 during the nationwide shelter-in-place order.

~~In contrast, strong~~Strong sales during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 were driven by strong U.S. residential and commercial market activity, where sales increased ~~$22.0~~$30.7 million, or ~~27.9%~~38.8%, from ~~$78.8~~$79.1 million in 2020 to ~~$100.8~~$109.9 million in 2021. ~~Residential~~Single family residential market sales increased ~~$9.7~~$25.1 million, or ~~71%~~159%, from ~~$13.7~~$15.8 million in 2020 to ~~$23.~~$40.9 million in 2021, and account for ~~21%~~33.6% of total sales during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Sales to Latin-American markets, including Colombia increased ~~$1.6~~$9.0 million, or ~~18.5%~~323.7%, as our customers continue to return to activities after lockdowns in slowly recovering markets.

Gross profit increased ~~$14.7~~$16.8 million, or ~~48.4%~~52.8%, to ~~$45.1~~$48.6 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared with ~~$30.4~~$31.8 million during the same period of 2020. This resulted in gross profit margin reaching ~~40.7%~~39.9% during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, up from ~~34.9%~~38.8% during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. The ~~nearly 600-basis~~110-basis point improvement in gross margin mainly reflected a higher mix of revenue from manufacturing versus installation activity as we continue to grow into single family residential, ~~and a~~ full quarter of greater operating efficiencies from prior automation ~~initiatives.~~initiatives and operating leverage on higher sales.

Operating expenses increased ~~$2.5~~$3.7 million, or ~~14.3%~~22.1%, from ~~$17.3~~$16.6 million to ~~$19.8~~$20.2 million for the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The increase was driven by ~~$1.0~~$2.0 million, or ~~26.1%~~55.4% increase in shipping expense on increasing sales, along with smaller increases in personnel and ~~services, which along with~~sales commissions. As a result of operating leverage from higher sales and our ~~efforts~~continued effort to enhance our lean administrative structure and tight cost controls ~~and higher sales, led to~~our operating expenses as a percentage of sales ~~improving~~improved from ~~19.8%~~20.2% to ~~17.8%~~16.6%.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded non-operating ~~income~~expense of $0.2 million and nearly zero net non-operating ~~expense of $0.1 million,~~income, respectively. Non-operating income and expenses, net is comprised primarily of ~~income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials as well as~~ non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of ~~influence. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company also recorded a loss in debt extinguishment~~influence and income from rental properties and gains on sale of $11.1 million, comprised of a one-time $8.6 million call premium paid on the $210 million senior notes redemption, along with a $2.3 million non-cash amortization of deferred cost of financing related to said notes plus a $0.2 million foreign currency adjustment.scrap materials.

During the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $0.2 million associated with foreign currency transactions, which excludes a non-cash $0.4 million foreign currency transaction loss from remeasurement of ~~less than~~certain intercompany loans reclassified to other comprehensive income. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net gain of $13.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 within the statement of operations as the Colombian peso appreciated 8% during the quarter.

Interest expense and deferred cost of financing decreased $3.0 million, or 55.2%, to $2.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from $5.4 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 as a result of our new financing arrangement further described below in the liquidity section.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $7.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 28% and 30%, respectively, which approximate the statutory rate.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $19.3 million compared to net income of $16.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company’s operating revenues increased $63.4 million or 37.4% from $169.2 million to $232.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. In early 2020, initial COVID-19 lockdowns and other preventive measures slowed down our business, especially in Latin America as several customers halted activities and we shut down our manufacturing facilities in Colombia between March 24, 2020 and April 13, 2020 during the nationwide shelter-in-place order.

Strong sales during the first six months of 2021 were driven by U.S. single family residential and commercial market activity, where sales increased $52.7 million, or 33.4%, from $157.9 million in 2020 to $210.7 million in 2021. Single family residential market sales increased $34.8 million, or 118.2%, from $29.5 million in 2020 to $64.3 million in 2021, and accounted for 27.6% of total sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Sales to Latin-American markets, including Colombia increased $10.6 million, or 94.0%, as our customers continue to return to activities after lockdowns in slowly recovering markets.

Gross profit increased $31.5 million, or 50.7%, to $93.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $62.2 million during the same period of 2020. This resulted in gross profit margin reaching 40.3% during the first six months of 2021, up from 36.8% during the first six months of 2020. The 350-basis point improvement in gross margin mainly reflected a higher mix of revenue from manufacturing versus installation activity as we continue to grow into single family residential, greater operating efficiencies from prior automation initiatives and operating leverage on higher revenues.

Operating expenses increased $6.1 million, or 18.1%, from $33.8 million to $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The increase was driven by $3.1 million, or 39.9% increase in shipping expense on increasing sales, along with smaller increases in personnel and sales commissions. As a result of operating leverage from higher sales and our continued effort to enhance our lean administrative structure and tight cost controls our operating expenses as a percentage of sales improved from 20.0% to 17.2%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a non-operating expense of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Non-operating income and expenses, net is comprised primarily of non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of influence and income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials..

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also recorded a loss in debt extinguishment of $11.1 million, mainly comprised of a one-time $8.6 million call premium paid on the $210 million senior notes redemption, along with a non-cash amortization of deferred cost of financing related to said notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $0.1 million associated with foreign currency transactions ~~loss,~~gain, which excludes a non-cash ~~$8.7~~$9.1 million foreign currency transaction loss from remeasurement of certain intercompany loans reclassified to other comprehensive income. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net loss of ~~$32.5~~$19.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 within the statement of operations as the Colombian peso depreciated 24% during the ~~quarter.~~period.

Interest expense and deferred cost of financing decreased ~~$2.1~~$5.1 million, or ~~37.6%~~46.2%, to ~~$3.5~~$6.0 million during the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 from ~~$5.6~~$11.1 million during the ~~quarters~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 as a result of our new financing arrangement further described below in the liquidity section. The current period does not fully capture the full effect of the decrease in interest rates associated to the new syndicated facility given that the senior notes were taken out on January 30, 2021.

During the ~~quarters~~six month periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of ~~$3.7~~$11.3 million and ~~a net income tax benefit of $6.1~~$0.7 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of ~~31%~~29% and ~~25%~~-40%, respectively. The effective income tax rate of ~~31%~~28% as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 approximates the statutory rate. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of -40% reflects the impact of unrealized foreign currency transaction losses related to the remeasurement of long-term liabilities of our Colombian subsidiaries which were expected to be realized at a later year in which a lower income tax rate was expected to apply per tax regulation at the time.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 of ~~$8.3~~$27.5 million compared to net loss of ~~$18.7~~$2.6 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$85.2~~$100.3 million and $66.9 million, respectively.

On October 28, 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 used the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facilities during the last quarter of 2020 and redeemed in full the $210 million unsecured senior notes, which ~~bear~~had an interest ~~at a~~ rate of 8.2% and ~~matured~~were to mature in ~~2022, following a step down in redemption price at the end of January 2021.~~2022. This new facility, with its improved pricing, significantly reduces our cost of capital, including anticipated annual cash interest savings of approximately ~~$11.1~~$12 million on current outstanding borrowings.

We anticipate that working capital will continue be a net benefit to cash flow for the full year 2021, which in addition to our current liquidity position, provides ample flexibility to service our obligations through the next twelve months.

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 ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, we made investments primarily in building and construction, and machinery and equipment in the amounts of ~~$6.4~~$19.3 million and ~~$7.5~~$8.3 million, respectively.

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 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 toward the end of the two-year construction period, if needed (based on debt availability as a first option).

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, operating activities generated approximately ~~$29.0~~$60.8 million and ~~$0.5~~$24.8 million, respectively. The positive cashflow from operations during the first half of 2021 has been related to a much higher profitability year over year, enhanced working capital efforts, reduced interest expense and a more favorable mix of revenues in the single-family residential space which carries a shorter cash cycle and no retainage.

The main source of operating cash during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 ~~were~~was trade accounts payables, which generated $24.6 million in contrast with a use of $10.4 during the same period of 2020. The increase in trade accounts payables as of June is related to increasing purchases to support our growing material needs to support our increased output. Additionally, contract assets and liabilities which generated ~~$7.9~~$14.7 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. Comparatively, ~~Contract~~contract assets and liabilities generated ~~$2.4million~~$11.2million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. The largest use of cash in operating activities was accrued interest expense, which used $7.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared with ~~$4.5~~$0.1 million generated during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, with the increase mostly due to our new $300 million senior secured credit facility for which we paid the full balance of accrued interests on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Other assets, comprised mostly of prepaid expenses and prepaid taxes used $7.2 million during the six months, in contrast with $1.4 million generated during the same period of 2020.

We used ~~$5.7~~$18.2 million and ~~$6.4~~$7.2 million in investing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The main use of cash in investing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 was related to the automation of our architectural system assembly processes. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2021, we paid ~~$5.7~~$18.3 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million acquired under credit, amount to total Capital Expenditures of ~~$6.4~~$19.3 million. During 2020, we used ~~$6.5~~$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 ~~$7.5~~$8.3 million.

Financing activities used ~~$2.1~~$6.8 million and ~~$0.7~~provided $1.8 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Outflows during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 include the full redemption of the $210 million unsecured senior notes, which bore interest at a rate of 8.2% and matured in 2022, following a step down in redemption price at the end of January 2021, along with $8.6 million for the corresponding call premium. These payments were made with proceeds of the new Senior Secured Credit Facility for up to $300 million, of which we received proceeds of $220 million during the ~~quarter.~~six-month period.

We performed an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of Tecnoglass, Inc.´s design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

For the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
