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, 2022. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on 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 products sold to the construction industry.

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI and 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, ES Metals SAS (“ES Metals”), and Ventanas Solar S.A (“VS”), 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 and if we are 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 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 shareholders’ equity.

~~Recently Issued~~ Derivative Financial Instruments

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.

Accounting ~~Pronouncements~~Standards Adopted in 2023

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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (“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 interest rate on our credit facility was updated to SOFR plus the same spread of 1.5%. In ~~December 2022,~~addition, the ~~FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral~~Company amended the Interest Rate Swap contract from Libor plus spread to SOFR plus spread. The settlements of the ~~Sunset Date~~instruments remain under the existing conditions; however, the fixed leg goes from 1.93% to 1.87%. The Company did not apply any of ~~Topic 848 which deferred~~ the ~~effective date of Topic 848. As a result,~~optional expedients or exceptions allowed under this standard is effective beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company’s outstanding debt, which bears interest based on LIBOR, contains provisions for transitioning into a benchmark reference rate prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR in 2023. Our interest rate swap derivative contract will be adjusted accordingly.ASU.

Trade Accounts Receivable

In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to customers on a generally non-collateralized basis. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses which is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectible in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectible accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectible accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful.

Trade accounts receivable consist of the following:

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. 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 ~~is delivered~~ 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 long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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

Note 6. Supplier Finance Program

Tecnoglass ~~Inc.~~ has established payment terms to suppliers for the purchase of goods and services, which normally range between 30 and 60 days. In the normal course of business, suppliers may require liquidity and manage, through third parties, the advanced payment of invoices. The Company allows its suppliers the option to ~~make~~ payments in advance of an invoice due date, through a third-party finance provider or intermediary, with the purpose of allowing suppliers to obtain the required liquidity. For these purposes, suppliers present to ~~the Company~~Tecnoglass the third-party finance provider or intermediary with whom they will carry out the finance program and establish an agreement, through which the invoices will be paid by the third-party finance provider or intermediary once ~~the Company~~Tecnoglass has confirmed the invoices ~~are~~as valid. Once the Company confirms the invoices are valid, the third-party finance provider or intermediary proceeds with the payment to the supplier. Subsequently, ~~the Company~~Tecnoglass pays the invoices for goods or services to the third-party finance provider or intermediary selected by the supplier. Payment times do not vary from those initially agreed with the supplier, as stated in the invoices factored by the supplier (i.e. between 30 and 60 days). Pursuant to the supplier finance ~~program,~~programs, the Company has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to third-party finance provider or intermediary.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the obligations outstanding related to the supplier finance program ~~amount~~amounted to $~~2,335~~11,323, recorded as current liabilities, with $~~2,186~~11,122 classified as Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and $~~149~~201 classified as Due to related parties.

Note 7. Debt

The Company’s debt is comprised of the following:

Long-term debt	$	169,076		$	168,980		$	166,699		$	168,980

In November 2021, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility to (i) increase the borrowing capacity under its committed line of credit from $50 million to $150 million, (ii) reduce its borrowing costs by an approximate 130 basis points and (iii) extend the initial maturity date by one year to the end of 2026. Borrowings under the credit facility now bear interest at a rate of LIBOR with no floor plus a spread of 1.50%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio, compared to a prior rate of LIBOR with a floor of 0.75% plus a spread of 2.50%, resulting on total annual savings of approximately $15 million at current levels of outstanding borrowings, since entering into our inaugural US Bank syndicated facility in October of 2020. The effective interest rate for this credit facility including deferred issuance costs is ~~7.42~~7.65%. In relation to this transaction, the Company accounted for costs related to fees paid of $1,496. This was accounted for as a debt modification and $1,346 of fees paid to banks were capitalized as deferred cost of financing and $150 paid to third parties recorded as an operating expense on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. In March 2022, we voluntarily prepaid $15 million of capital to this credit facility which has decreased our net leverage ratio and triggered a step down in the applicable interest rate spread to 1.5%. Additionally, on September 30, 2022, we voluntarily prepaid $10.0 million of the term loan and $6.7 million under the revolving line of credit which remains fully unused as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Note 8. Hedging Activity and Fair Value Measurements

Hedging Activity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we entered into several interest rate swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuations related to our outstanding debt. The effective date of the ~~contracts are~~contract is December 31, 2022, and, thus, we ~~shall~~ have payment dates each quarter, commencing March 31, 2023. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we entered into several foreign currency non-delivery forward 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 LIBOR and Colombian Peso denominated costs and expenses, respectively.

~~In determining fair value, we~~We 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.~~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.

Due to the Libor discontinuance, on June 21, 2023, the Company amended the Interest Rate Swap contract from LIBOR plus spread to SOFR plus spread. The settlements of the instruments remain under the existing conditions; however, the fixed leg goes from 1.93% to 1.87%. Regarding the conditions of our outstanding debt, only LIBOR was replaced by SOFR, maintaining the other initial conditions.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the fair value of our interest rate swap ~~and foreign currency non-delivery forward contracts~~ was in a net asset position of $~~9.4~~9.8 million. We had 1514 outstanding interest rate swap contracts to hedge $125 million related to our outstanding debt through November ~~2026 and 2 non-delivery forward contracts to exchange $~~15 ~~million U.S. Dollars to Colombian Pesos through April 2023.~~2026. 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

We assess the effectiveness of our interest rate swap ~~and foreign currency non-delivery forward~~ contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap ~~and foreign currency non-delivery forward~~ 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 interest rate swap ~~and foreign currency non-delivery forward~~ 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 accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months, is $~~3.5~~4.2 million.

The fair value of our interest rate swap hedges ~~that are~~is classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, ~~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.

The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risks are based on ~~LIBOR~~SOFR rates and interest rate swap curves. Measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. To carry out the swap valuation, the definition of the fixed leg (obligation) and variable leg (right) is used. Once the projected flows are obtained in both fixed and variable rates, the regression analysis is performed for prospective effectiveness test. The projection curve contains the forward interest rates to project flows at a variable rate and the discount curve contains the interest rates to discount future flows, using the one-month USD Libor curve.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 7 – Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted at current market rates, which are level 2 inputs.

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

Summary of Fair Value and Carrying Amounts of Long Term Debt

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Vidrio Andino Joint Venture

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 $~~45,000~~45, million, of which $~~34,100~~34.1 million was paid in cash and $~~10,900~~10.9 million paid through the contribution of land on December 9, 2020. On October 28, 2020, we acquired said land from a related party and paid for it with the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, valued at $7.00 per share, which represented an approximate 33% premium based on the closing stock price as of October 27, 2020.

The land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect will carry significant efficiencies for us once it becomes operative, 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 $~~12,500~~12.5 million if needed (based on debt availability as a first option).

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding ~~obligation~~obligations to purchase an aggregate of at least $~~72,172~~65,198 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier before November 30, ~~2030.~~2030, and an aggregate of at least $11,008 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier through 2028.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated a 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 $~~45,000~~45, million, of which $~~34,100~~34.1 million was paid in cash and $~~10,900~~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% 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% 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 $~~12,500~~12.5 million to be paid if needed (based on debt availability as a first option).

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;~~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.

~~Note 13.~~ ~~Subsequent Events~~

On April 4, 2023 we entered into a settlement agreement related to a completed project.. The conditions were determined to have existed as of the date of the balance sheet and therefore were recorded the related expenses as an accounts payable on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and as an operating expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 40 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, and 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 ~~4.1~~5.6 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 One Thousand Museum (Miami), Paramount Miami Worldcenter (Miami), Hub50House (Boston), Via 57 West (New York), Ae’o Tower (Honolulu), Salesforce Tower (San Francisco), Trump Plaza (Panama), and Departmental Legislative Assembly (Bolivia). 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 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 afforded us incremental control over our supply chain while maintaining efficient lead times. 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. Since 2017, we have been expanding our presence in U.S. residential markets which went from less than 5% of our sales to nearly 45% of our revenues for the full year 2022. We believe that the quality of our products, coupled with our ability to price competitively given our structural advantages on cost and our efficient lead times given our vertical integration, will allow us to generate further growth in the future.

Our company has focused on ensuring that our vision of sustainability is immersed into every aspect of our business, including social, environmental, economic and governance variables (ESG), that help us make decisions and create value for our stakeholders. We carry out a series of initiatives based on our global sustainability strategy, which is supported on three fundamental pillars: promoting an ethical and responsible continuous growth, leading eco-efficiency and innovation and empowering our environment. As part of this strategy, we have voluntarily adhered to UN Global Compact Principles since 2017. In 2021, in pursuit of our cooperation with the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, we joined a program to strengthen and make visible the management of greenhouse gas emissions as a carbon neutral strategy set out by the Colombian government by 2050.

Comparison of quarterly periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, and 2022

Revenues

~~The Company’s operating~~Operating revenues increased ~~$68.1~~$9.0 million or ~~50.6%~~4.4%, from ~~$134.5~~$201.8 million for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, to ~~$202.6~~$210.7 million for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

~~Strong sales during the first quarter of 2023 were~~ Revenue growth was driven by ~~strong~~activity in U.S. ~~residential and commercial market activity,~~markets, where ~~sales~~revenues increased ~~$67.9~~$6.8 million, or ~~53.4%~~3.5%, from ~~$127.0~~$193.5 million in 2022 to ~~$194.8~~$200.3 million in 2023. U.S. commercial market ~~sales~~revenues increased ~~$43.8~~$4.8 million, or ~~65.0%~~4.5%, from ~~$67.4~~$107.7 million in 2022 to ~~$111.2~~$112.5 million in 2023 as we continue to execute on our growing ~~backlog. Single~~backlog, while single family residential market ~~sales~~revenues reached an all-time high of $87.8 million during the third quarter of 2023, up from $85.8 million in 2022. Revenues from Latin-American markets increased ~~$24.0~~$1.9 million, or ~~40.1%~~22.6%, from ~~$59.6~~$8.3 million in 2022 to $83.6 million in 2023, and accounted for 41.3% of total sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Sales to Latin-American markets, including Colombia, increased $0.2 million, or 3.1%, from $7.6 million in 2022 to $7.8$10.2 million in 2023.

Gross profit

Gross profit ~~increased by $47.4~~during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was$ 90.5 million, a decrease of $14.8 million, or ~~78.6%~~14.0%, ~~to $107.7~~from $105.3 million during the three months ended ~~March 31, 2023, compared with $60.3 million during the three months ended March 31,~~September 30, 2022. ~~This resulted in~~The gross profit margin ~~reaching 53.2%~~ during the ~~first~~current year quarter of ~~2023, up~~43.0% was down from ~~44.8%~~52.2% during the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2022. The 840-basis point improvement in gross margin is mainly attributable~~2022, primarily as a result of non-cash effect related to ~~operating leverage on higher sales, favorable product pricing dynamics, ongoing efficiency efforts, and favorable foreign exchange rates resulting from~~ a ~~depreciation~~strong appreciation of the Colombian Peso. Inventories were recorded into the balance sheet at a weaker Peso and then accounted for under raw material costs at a much stronger Peso, translating into more US Dollars at the time the revenues are recognized. This effect contributed to a 660-basis point decrease year-over-year when assessing the same effect during the comparable period. Additionally, this unfavorable FX dynamic impacted our costs denominated in Colombian Pesos against our predominantly US Dollar revenue stream. Finally, margins were impacted by our revenue mix which included more installation and stand-alone product sales during the current period. Installation and stand-alone product revenues were up 43.6% and 18.1% respectively year over year, weighting down overall gross margins.

Expenses

Operating expenses ~~increased $7.7~~decreased $5.6 million, or ~~29.2%~~16.1%, from ~~$26.4~~$35.2 million to ~~$34.1~~$29.5 million for the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease was mainly driven by ~~by higher incremental administrative cost to ramp up our geographical expansion, which include $2.7 million higher personnel expense, $1.9 million, or 27.4%, increase in~~lower shipping expense ~~as a result~~due to maritime rates reduction, and the absence of a higher sales volume and a higher mix of sales going into the more atomized US residential market, along with other increased selling expenses, partially offset by $1.5 million decrease in services. Additionally, during the period ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a settlement payment ~~associated with~~which occurred during the prior year period. As a ~~dispute related~~result, operating expenses as a percentage of sales improved from 17.4% to ~~a completed project.~~14.0%.

Non-operating income and expenses, net

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-operating income of ~~$1.3~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.6 million, respectively. Non-operating income is comprised of interest income from short term investments and deposits income from rental properties as well as non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of influence.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a non-operating gain of $1.1 million associated with foreign currency transactions compared to a net non-operating loss of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense and deferred cost of financing

Interest expense and deferred cost of financing increased less than $0.1 million, or 3.4%, to $2.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as the Company maintained a stable debt balance and benefited from having a favorable interest rate hedge in place for approximately 75% of its outstanding debt.

Income Taxes

During the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $15.4 million and $23.0 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 25.1% and 32.9%, respectively, which approximate the statutory rate. The effective tax rate of 25.1% during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was due to the Company generating more profit by its US subsidiaries where corporate taxation is lower.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $46.1 million compared to net income of $46.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Revenues

The Company’s operating revenues increased $133.2 million, or 26.4%, from $505.5 million to $638.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Strong revenues during the first nine months of 2023 were driven by activity in U.S. commercial and residential markets, where revenues increased $128.0 million, or 26.5%, from $482.0 million in 2022 to $610.0 million in 2023. U.S. Commercial market revenues increased $91.0 million, or 34.9%, from $260.6 million in 2022 to $351.6 million in 2023. Single family residential market revenues increased $37.0 million, or 16.7%, from $221.3 million in 2022 to $258.3 million in 2023, and accounted for 40.5% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Revenues from Latin-American markets, including Colombia, increased $5.3 million, or 22.4%, from $23.5 million in 2022 to $28.8 million in 2023.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $68.7 million, or 28.7%, to $308.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $239.3 million during the same period of 2022. This resulted in gross profit margin reaching 48.2% during the first nine months of 2023, up from 47.3% during the first nine months of 2022. The 90-basis point improvement in gross margin mainly reflected operating leverage on higher sales and ongoing efficiencies.

Expenses

Operating expenses increased $9.1 million, or 10.1%, from $89.7 million to $98.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The increase was mainly driven by higher variable expenses related to incremental revenues and increased administrative expenses to support a larger operation and ongoing geographical expansion. As a result of our continued effort to enhance our lean administrative structure and tight cost controls, our operating expenses as a percentage of sales improved from 17.7% to 15.5%.

Non-operating income and expenses, net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-operating income of $3.5 and $1.1 million, respectively. Non-operating income for the period is comprised primarily of ~~credit card charges made to customers for processing payments,~~short-term investments return, 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.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a non-operating ~~loss~~gain of ~~$1.1~~$0.9 million associated with foreign currency transactions, compared to a net ~~non-operating~~ loss of ~~$2.9~~$0.9 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense ~~and deferred cost of financing~~

Interest expense and deferred cost of financing increased ~~$0.8~~$1.5 million, or ~~54.8%~~27.4%, to ~~$2.3~~$6.9 million during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, from ~~$1.5~~$5.4 million during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as a result of increasing floating interest rates, ~~despite~~partially offset by a lower debt ~~balance.~~balance and the favorable effect of an ongoing interest rate hedge.

Income Taxes

During the ~~quarters~~nine-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of ~~$24.7~~$63.4 million and ~~$10.6~~$48.2 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of ~~33.8%~~30.1% and ~~33.5%~~32.3%, ~~respectively, which approximate~~respectively. The effective tax rate of 30.1% during the ~~statutory rate.~~nine months ended September 30, 2023, results as the Company generates more profit by its US subsidiaries where corporate taxation is lower.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 of ~~$48.4~~$147.0 million ~~compared to net income of $21.0~~and $101.3 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Liquidity

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$128.5~~$119.0 million and $103.7 million, respectively. Additionally, we currently have approximately ~~$170~~$170.0 million available under ~~our committed~~different lines of credit.

We anticipate that ~~working capital~~the Company will continue ~~be a net benefit~~ to ~~cash flow for~~generate positive Cashflow from operating activities through the ~~full year ending December 31,~~end of 2023, which we believe, in addition to our current liquidity position, provides ample flexibility to service our obligations through the next twelve months. ~~We expect our cashflow from operations to present a seasonality effect given the timing of income tax payments in the main jurisdictions where we operate.~~

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 ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, we made investments primarily in building and construction and machinery and equipment in the amounts of ~~$20.3~~$73.8 million and ~~$11.9~~$51.4 million, respectively. These investments across our vertically-integrated operations include further automating our glass and window assembly production lines, adding glass production lines, ~~and~~ expanding our aluminum facilities, ~~among other initiatives~~putting new vinyl windows lines to ~~generate high-returns.~~penetrate this new product segment and purchasing land to grow beyond current installed capacity. The Company estimates that current manufacturing operating capacity has reached approximately $1 billion which does not account for incremental installation revenue capacity. Additionally, the Company expects the resulting increase in output to improve efficiency throughout its operations while reducing material waste and overall lead times.

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~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, operating activities generated approximately ~~$43.1~~$94.5 million and ~~$27.1~~$92.1 million, respectively. The positive cashflow from operations during the first three months of 2023 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~~sources of operating cash during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, were taxes payable, which generated $25.5 million related to higher income tax provision as a result of several record-breaking quarters, compared with $11.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Contract assets and liabilities, which generated ~~$12.4~~$13.0 million, ~~during the three months ended March 31, 2023,~~ 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 assets and liabilities generated ~~$2.0~~$15.0 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. In addition, improved working capital associated with trade accounts payable, generated $8.4 million, compared with $14.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The largest use of cash in operating activities were other assets, comprised primarily of prepaid taxes, which used ~~$14.3~~$25.5 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, ~~compared with $1.8~~and taxes payable which used an additional $21.7 million. Both of these uses of cash were related to the aggregate of $94.9 million ~~used~~related to taxes paid during the ~~three~~period, most of which was paid by the Colombian subsidiaries during the second quarter of 2023. Comparatively, other assets used $1.6 million during the nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, ~~comprised primarily~~and Taxes payable generated $24.0 million related to of the return of prepaid value added taxes of Colombian ~~operations. Inventories~~subsidiaries offsetting income tax payments during 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Trade accounts receivable used ~~$13.1~~$10.4 million, ~~and $13.5~~compared to $29.5 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, after several quarters of record-breaking sales. Inventories used $15.3 million and $53.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as we procure materials to meet our growing operations.

We used ~~$15.7~~$62.5 million and ~~$10.4~~$48.1 million in investing activities during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The main use of cash in investing activities during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 ~~was~~ related to the automation of our architectural system assembly processes further described above in the “Capital Resources” section. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, we paid ~~$15.6~~$62.2 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with ~~$4.8~~$11.6 million acquired under credit or debt, amount to total capital expenditures of ~~$20.3~~$73.8 million. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we used ~~$9.2~~$46.8 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. Including assets acquired with debt or supplier credit, total capital expenditures during the period were ~~$11.9~~$51.4 million.

Financing activities used ~~$3.3~~$20.9 million and ~~$18.3~~$41.2 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We paid ~~$3.6~~$12.2 million and ~~$3.1~~$9.3 million of dividends to holders of our ordinary shares during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the ~~three~~nine months ended March 31, 2022, we voluntarily prepaid $15 million of capital to our credit facility which has decreased our net leverage ratio and triggered a step down in the applicable interest rate spread to 1.5% and later prepaid an additional $6.7 million under our revolving line of credit and $10 million under our term loan on September 30, ~~2022 with cash on hand.~~2023, we used $8.9 million to repurchase shares under the $50 million buyback program authorized by our Board of Directors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to ongoing market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity market prices.

A rise in interest rates could negatively affect the cost of financing for a significant portion of our debt with variable interest rates. If interest rates were to increase over the next 12 months by 100 basis points, net earnings would decrease by approximately $0.5 million based the current composition of our indebtedness. This market risk exposure is net of the effect from interest rate hedging derivative financial instruments further described in the footnotes to the financial statements.

We are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Some of our subsidiaries’ operations are based in Colombia, and primarily transact business in local currency. Approximately 3% of our consolidated revenues and ~~36%~~24% of our costs and expenses are denominated in Colombian pesos, thereby mitigating some of the risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. This portion of costs and expenses denominated in Colombian Peso excludes certain items which are transacted in Colombia using Colombian Peso but are priced in U.S. Dollars or are otherwise indexed to U.S. Dollar rates. However, as our costs and expenses in Colombian Pesos exceed, ~~their monetary assets,~~ a 5% appreciation of the Colombian Peso relative to the US Dollar would result in our ~~quarter~~annual revenues increasing by ~~$0.3~~$1.0 million and our costs and expenses increasing by approximately ~~$2.8~~$6.0 million, resulting in a ~~$2.5~~$5.0 million decrease to net earnings based on results for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Similarly, a significant portion of the monetary assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are generally denominated in US Dollars, while their functional currency is the Colombian peso, thereby resulting in gains or losses from remeasurement of assets and liabilities using the end of period spot exchange rate. These subsidiaries have both monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in US Dollars, thereby mitigating some of the risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rate. Furthermore, we record a portion of the non-cash foreign currency transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of certain intercompany loans as other comprehensive income. Net of this, the Colombian subsidiaries’ US Dollar denominated monetary ~~assets~~liabilities exceed their monetary ~~liabilities~~assets by ~~$5.5~~$50.4 million, such that a 1% devaluation of the Colombian peso will result in a loss of ~~less than $0.1~~$0.5 million recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Additionally, the results of the foreign subsidiaries must be translated into US Dollar, our reporting currency, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The currency translation of the financial statements using different exchange rates, as appropriate, for different parts of the financial statements generates a translation adjustment, which is recorded within other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We are also subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the prices of aluminum, one of the principal raw materials used for our manufacturing. The commodities markets, which include the aluminum industry, are highly cyclical in nature, and as a result, prices can be volatile. Commodity costs are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, the availability of raw materials, competition, labor costs, freight and transportation costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions. Our selling prices are also impacted by changes in commodity costs base our pricing of aluminum products based on the quoted price on the London Metals Exchange plus a manufacturing premium with the intention of aligning cost of our raw materials with selling prices to attempt to pass commodity price changes through to our customers.

We cannot accurately estimate the impact a one percent change in the commodity costs of would have on our results of operation, as the change in commodity costs would both impact the cost to purchase materials and our selling prices. The impact to our results of operations depends on the conditions of the market for our products, which could impact our ability to pass commodities costs to our customers.
