Note 1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

TPI Composites, Inc. is the holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). The Company was founded in 1968 and has been producing composite wind blades since 2001. The Company’s knowledge and experience of composite materials and manufacturing originates with its predecessor company, Tillotson Pearson Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance sail and powerboats along with a wide range of composite structures used in other industrial applications. Following the separation from the boat building business in 2004, the Company reorganized in Delaware as LCSI Holding, Inc. and then changed its corporate name to TPI Composites, Inc. in 2008. Today, the Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and has expanded its global footprint to include domestic facilities in Newton, Iowa; Fall River, Massachusetts; Warren, Rhode Island and Santa Teresa, New Mexico and international facilities in Dafeng, China; Taicang Port, China; Taicang City, China; Juárez, Mexico and Izmir, Turkey. In April 2017, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with a third party for a new manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico, and the Company expects to commence operations at this facility in the second half of 2018.

Initial Public Offering and Stock Split

In July 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.00 per share, which included 937,500 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Certain of the Company’s existing shareholders, a director and executive officers purchased an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the IPO included in the total issuance above. The net proceeds from the IPO were $67.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, all shares of the then-outstanding redeemable preferred shares converted into an aggregate of 21,110,204 shares of common stock and the redeemable preferred share warrants converted on a net issuance basis into 120,923 shares of common stock. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the IPO, certain subordinated convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal and interest amount of $11.9 million were converted into 1,079,749 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $11.00 per share.

Prior to the IPO, in July 2016 the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 360-for-1 forward stock split of its common stock. As a result of the stock split, the Company has adjusted the share amounts authorized and issuable under the share-based compensation plans. All share and per share common stock information (including the share-based compensation plans) referenced throughout the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split. The stock split did not cause an adjustment to the par value of the authorized shares of common stock.statements.

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The Company divides its business operations into four geographic operating segments—the United States, Asia, Mexico and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as follows:

The U.S. segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades at the Newton, Iowa plant, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems used for the manufacture of wind blades in the Warren, Rhode Island facility, (3) the manufacturing of composite solutions for the transportation industry, which the Company also conducts in its Rhode Island and Massachusetts facilities and (4) its corporate headquarters, the costs of which are included in general and administrative expenses.

The Asia segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades at a facility in Taicang Port, China and at its two facilities in Dafeng, China, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems in the Taicang City, China facility, (3) the manufacture of components in a second Taicang Port, China facility and (4) wind blade inspection and repair services.

The Mexico segment manufactures wind blades from three facilities in Juárez, Mexico, one of which commenced operations in 2014, the second during the third quarter of 2016 and the third in January 2017.  In April 2017, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with a third party for a new manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico and the Company expects to commence operations at this facility in the second half of 2018.

The EMEA segment manufactures wind blades from two facilities in Izmir, Turkey. The Company entered into a joint venture in 2012 to produce wind blades at the first Turkey plant and in 2013 became the sole owner of the Turkey operation with the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest. The EMEA segment commenced operations in the second facility during the third quarter of 2016.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TPI Composites, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Treasury Stock

Common stock purchased for treasury is recorded at historical cost. Transactions in treasury shares are primarily related to share-based compensation plans and are recorded at weighted-average cost.

Net Income Attributable to Preferred Shareholders

Net income attributable to preferred shareholders related to the accrual of dividends on previously outstanding convertible and senior redeemable preferred shares, the accretion to redemption amounts on the convertible preferred shares and warrant fair value adjustment. Immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s IPO, all preferred shares were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock and as a result, the accrual of dividends ceased.

Net Income Per Share Calculation

The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. The table below reflects the calculation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands):

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2017

Convertible Instruments

In March 2016,August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvement2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU is intended to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions to employees.  The new standard requires excess tax benefitscertain convertible instruments with characteristics of both liability and tax deficiencies toequity. This ASU removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. As a result, after the adoption of this guidance, an entity’s convertible debt instrument will be recorded in the consolidated income statementswholly accounted for as a componentdebt. This ASU also expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplifies areas of the provisionguidance for income taxes when stock awards vestdiluted earnings-per-share calculations by requiring the use of the if-converted method.

This ASU is effective for all public business entities (other than smaller reporting companies) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or options are exercised.  In addition, it eliminates the requirement to reclassify cash flows related to excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.  Further, the standard provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, allows the Company to withhold more of an employee’s vesting shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and clarifies that all cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 using the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative effect adjustment to equity asbasis. An entity should adopt the guidance at the beginning of its annual fiscal year. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2017.  Upon adoption, the Company elected to eliminate application of2021 on a forfeiture assumption to share based compensation expensemodified retrospective basis and account for forfeitures as they occur over the vesting period.  The cumulative effect of this change increased additional paid-in capital and decreased retained earnings as of January 1, 2017 by $1.1 million.  The Company it did not have any previously unrecognized excess tax effects that had not been recorded as a reduction to the tax liability.

The Company did not recognize any excess tax benefits from the vesting of restricted stock units and stock options which were later exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The provisions of the standard relating to the cash flow presentation and income taxes are included in the accompanying statements of cash flows and income statements for applicable periods presented in the accompanyingmaterial effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. If or when the valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets is released, the inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of the Company’s income tax expense in future periods will increase volatility within the provision for income taxes as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation awards are dependent on the Company’s stock price at the date the restricted awards vest, the stock price on the date an option is exercised and the quantity of options exercised.

Revenue from Contracts with CustomersRecently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In May 2014,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 606)848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides new recognitionoptional expedients and disclosure requirementsexceptions for revenue fromapplying GAAP to contracts, with customershedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This ASU only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that supersedesreference the existing revenue recognition guidance. The new recognition requirements focus on when the customer obtains control of the goodsLondon Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or services, rather than the current risks and rewards model of recognition. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expectsanother reference rate expected to be entitled to for those goods or services. The new disclosure requirements will include information intended to communicate the nature, amount, timing and any uncertaintydiscontinued because of revenue and cash flows from the applicable contracts, including any significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment under the new standard.

The new requirements arereference rate reform. This ASU is effective for all entities beginning on March 12, 2020 and entities may elect to apply the Company beginning January 1, 2018, and may be implemented either retrospectively for all periods presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

The Company will adopt Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 with retrospective application to January 1, 2015ASU prospectively through December 31, 2017. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the new standard, revenue recognition in accordance with Topic 606 differs from the current guidance provided by GAAP as outlined in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, which requires the Company to defer recognition of revenue until the risk of loss has passed to the customer and delivery has been made or a fixed delivery schedule has been provided by the customer. Since the Company’s products have no alternative use to the Company due to contractual restrictions placed by each customer on the technical specifications and design of the products, the Company’s assessment is that revenue upon adoption of Topic 606 will be recognized over time during the course of the production process and before the product is delivered to the customer.2022.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of Topic 606 will have a material impact on the amount of net sales, cost of goods sold and income from operations reported in the consolidated income statements in future periods. In accordance with Topic 606, revenues will be recognized over the time period of the production process, whereas currently it is recognized upon delivery to the customer. Further, since revenue will be recognized over time for manufacturing contracts, future net sales will include amounts related to products that areperformance obligations in production aswhere control has transferred to the customer but the contract does not yet allow for the customer to be billed. Typically, customers are billed when the product finishes production and meets the technical specifications contained in the contract. The majority of the period end. Finally, the gross margin realizedcontract asset balance relates to materials procured based on customer specifications. The contract assets are recorded as current assets in the period may be impacted by the changes related to the timing and amountcondensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of revenue recognized for productsearned. These amounts primarily represent progress payments received as precision molding and assembly systems are being manufactured. The contract liabilities are recorded as current liabilities in the production process.condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reduced as we record revenue over time.

Although Topic 606 does not have a cash impact nor an effect on the economics of the Company's underlying customer contracts, applying Topic 606 to contracts in startup and transition will likely result in higher reported earnings in 2018 than under the previous guidance as revenue is shifted to the initial years of startup and transition activities of a contract.  Topic 606 will not change the total amount of revenue recognized under the Company’s long-term supply contracts, only accelerate the timing of when the revenue is recognized.  The Company expects a corresponding acceleration in timing of cost of goods sold recognition for these contracts upon adoption of Topic 606.

The changes noted above involving the timing of revenue recognition will materially impact the amount of reportedThese contract assets and liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated withsheets net on a contract-by-contract basis at the Company’s manufacturing contracts.

Contract assets increased by $14.9 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 due to an increase in revenue for products incustomer specific material purchases and incremental unbilled production as contract assets on the consolidated balance sheet, which differs from the current practice of including the balances in inventory, and will include an amount for the margin recognized to date. The Company will no longer report inventory held for customer orders since revenue will be recognized over time during the course of the production process and before the product is deliveredsix months ended June 30, 2021. Contracts liabilities increased by $1.6 million from December 31, 2020 to the customer. Work performed as production takes place will leadJune 30, 2021 primarily due to revenue recognition and be included in the consolidated balance sheet under contract assets until billed. The Company expects that contract liabilities will be reported for amounts collected from customersbilled to a customer in advance of the production of products. The Company also expects thatprecision molding and assembly systems during the amountsix months ended June 30, 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of deferred revenue will be substantially reduced as revenue for products will be recognized over time.

The Company does not anticipate a changerelated to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades, which was included in the timing of cash receipts and payments from customers as customers will continue to be invoiced as products are completed. In addition, the Company does not expect changes to the aggregate amount of cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however, the impact of changes in the captions on the consolidatedcorresponding contract liability balance sheet will have a material effect on the captions within cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company has a project plan in place for the transition to revenue recognition in accordance with Topic 606 including necessary changes to accounting processes and procedures, the chart of accounts, the system of internal control and retrospective application of the standard to periods beginning January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. The Company expects to complete the plan in time to report in accordance with Topic 606 for the first quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018.

Cash Flow Presentation

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, that clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the consolidated statement of cash flows.  In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, that requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with the amount of cash and cash equivalents that are reconciled to on the consolidated statement of cash flows.   These ASUs are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 and 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is a comprehensive new recognition model for leases requiring a lessee to recognize the asset and liability that arise from leases. For public companies, the amendment is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 16, 2018. Entities may elect to early adopt the lease standard in 2016. In adopting ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is evaluatingperiod.

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the provisions of ASU 2016-02 andtransaction price for which work has not yet selected a transition method norbeen performed and excludes any unexercised contract options. The transaction price includes estimated variable consideration as determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will havebased on the Company’s financial position or resultsestimated production output within the range of operations.the contractual guaranteed minimum volume obligations and production capacity.

9As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $3.2 billion. We estimate that we will recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows:

The current year decreases primarily relates to changes in certain of our estimated total contract values and related direct costs to complete the performance obligations.

Note 2.3. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’sOur revenues and receivables are earned from a small number of customers. As such, the Company’sour production levels are dependent on these customers’ orders. See note 11, Note 13, Concentration of Customers.Customers.

The Company maintains itsWe may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, our global supply chain may in the future be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.

In 2021, there have been both significant price increases and supply constraints with respect to resin and carbon fiber, which are key raw materials that we use to manufacture our products, as well as increases in logistics costs to obtain raw materials. We expect that the price of resin and carbon fiber will remain at elevated levels for the remainder of 2021. Approximately 55% of the resin and resin systems we use are purchased under contracts either controlled or borne by 2 of our customers and therefore these customers receive/bear 100% of any increase in resin prices. With respect to our other customer supply agreements, our customers typically bear 70% of any raw material price increases. If the supply of resin feedstocks and carbon fiber continue to be constrained for an extended period of time, such shortages could impact our ability to meet our customers’ forecasted demand for our products for the remainder of 2021 and have a further material adverse impact on our results of operations. 

We maintain our U.S. cash in bank deposit and money market accounts that, at times, exceed U.S. federally insured limits. U.S. bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in an amount up to $250,000$250,000 during 20172021 and 2016.2020. U.S. money market accounts are not guaranteed by the FDIC. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016, the Company2020, we had $105.6$55.2 million and $103.4$68.9 million, respectively, of cash in bank deposit and money market accounts in high quality U.S. banks, which was in excess of FDIC limits. The Company hasWe have not experienced losses in any such accounts.

The CompanyWe also maintainsmaintain cash in bank deposit accounts outside the U.S. with no deposit insurance. This includes $31.5At June 30, 2021, this included $58.7 million in China, $1.2$5.1 million in Turkey, and $0.8$2.3 million in Mexico, as$1.5 million in India and $0.3 million in other countries. As of September 30, 2017. The Company hasDecember 31, 2020, this included $47.4 million in China, $6.0 million in Turkey, $5.0 million in India, $2.1 million in Mexico and $0.5 million in other countries. We have not experienced losses in these accounts. In addition, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts in China of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which are reported as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Certain of our debt agreements are either tied to LIBOR or the past.

Note 3. Related-Party Transactions

Related party transactions include transactions between the CompanyEuro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) and certain of its affiliates. The following transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

The Company has entered into several agreements with subsidiaries of General Electric Company and its consolidated affiliates (GE) relatingthem have associated interest rate hedges. Due to the operation of its business. As a result of these agreements, GE has been a debtor, creditorrelatively low LIBOR and holder of both preferred and common shares. During the second quarter of 2017, GE reduced its holdings of the Company’s common shares to less than five percent of the total shares outstanding and then completely divested of the Company’s common shares during the current quarter.

The Company has entered into five separate supply agreements with GE to manufacture wind bladesEURIBOR rates in Newton, Iowa; Taicang Port, China; Juárez, Mexico (2) and Izmir, Turkey. The supply agreements in Taicang Port, China and Izmir, Turkey expire December 31, 2017 and GE has decided not to renew or extend these two contracts. As a result of the supply agreements, GE is the Company’s largest customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded related-party sales with GE of $187.3 million. As disclosed at note 11, Concentration of Customers, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded related-party sales with GE of $98.1 million and $292.4 million, respectively. Aseffect as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2021, a 10% change in the CompanyLIBOR or EURIBOR rate would not have had accounts receivables related to sales to GE of $26.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively.a material impact on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Income

The income tax expense was $0.4 millionprovisions for the three and $0.3 millionsix months ended June 30, 2021 were lower than for the corresponding periods in 2020 primarily due to the change in the mix of earnings of foreign jurisdictions and U.S. tax on foreign earnings in the comparable periods, partially offset by the recording of a full U.S. valuation allowance during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and 2016, respectively,an increase in our uncertain tax positions for the three and $8.5 million and $4.6 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due2021 as compared to the release of the valuation allowance which was recorded against the Turkey operation’s deferred tax assets as well as the tax benefit received by the Turkey operationssame periods in the third quarter of 2017 from new tax incentives from the Turkish government.2020.

The Company has historically provided a valuation allowance to reduce its U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the current quarter, the Company released the majority of its valuation allowance against its Turkey operation’s deferred tax assets, resulting in a non-cash benefit to income tax expense of approximately $2.6 million, $1.2 million of which was related to future earnings. Given the Turkey operation’s current level of pre-tax income, and assuming the Turkey operations maintains this current level of pre-tax income at a minimum, the Company expects to generate income before taxes in Turkey in future periods at a level that would fully realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in Turkey. As of September 30, 2017, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain of its state jurisdictions where it does not currently believe that the realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to the valuation allowance are appropriate in light of changes in facts or circumstances, such as changes in expected future pre-tax earnings, tax law, interactions with taxing authorities and developments in case law. In making this evaluation, the Company relies on its recent history of pre-tax earnings. The Company's material assumptions are its forecasts of future pre-tax earnings and the nature and timing of future deductions and income represented by the deferred tax assets and liabilities, all of which involve the exercise of significant judgment.

The impact of the new tax incentives received related to the Turkey operations was $1.8 million, all of which will be used to reduce the taxes paid on future earnings.

No other changes in tax law since December 31, 2016 haveoccurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which had a material impact on the Company’sour income tax provision. We do not record a deferred tax liability related to unremitted foreign earnings as we maintain our assertion to indefinitely reinvest our unremitted foreign earnings.

Note 10.12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

A complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona (Maricopa County) by a former employee of the Company, alleging that the Company had agreedFrom time to make certain cash paymentstime, we are party to such employee upon any future sale of the Company. The Company denies the substantive allegations of the complaint and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit; however, the Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this case. The Court has set a trial date in August 2018.

In addition, the Company entered into a transition agreement with a former officer, pursuant to which he transitioned out of his role at the end of 2015 and was to serve in a consulting capacity in 2016 and 2017. In January 2016, following the discovery that he had materially violated the terms of his transition agreement, the Company terminated his consultancy for cause. In April 2016, the officer filed an arbitration claim alleging that the Company improperly terminated his transition agreement. The Company believes that the termination of his transition agreement was valid and the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. The arbitration tribunal held that the former officer was entitled to a portion of the compensationvarious lawsuits, claims, and other payments contemplated under the transition agreement. The Company has appealed the arbitration tribunal’s decision to a Chinese court and the appeal remains pending.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”)(Form 10-Q). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to plans and strategy for our business, and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly those under “Risk Factors.”

OVERVIEW

Our Company

We are the only independent manufacturer of composite wind blades for the wind energy market with a global manufacturing footprint. We enable many of the industry’sdeliver high-quality, cost-effective composite solutions through long term relationships with leading wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEM), who have historically relied on in-house production, to outsource in the manufacturing of some of their wind blades through our global footprint of advanced manufacturing facilities strategically located to serve large and growing wind markets in a cost-effective manner. Given the importance of wind energy capture, turbine reliabilitytransportation markets. We also provide field service inspection and cost to power producers, the size, quality and performance of wind blades have become highly strategic to our OEM customers. As a result, we have become a key supplierrepair services to our OEM customers and wind farm owners and operators, and supply high strength, lightweight and durable composite products to the transportation market. We are headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and operate factories throughout the manufacture of wind bladesU.S., China, Mexico, Turkey, and related precision moldingIndia. We operate additional engineering development centers in Denmark and assembly systems. We have entered into long-term supply agreements pursuant to which we dedicate capacity at our facilities to our customers in exchange for their commitment to purchase minimum annual volumes of wind blade sets, which consist of three wind blades. As of November 8, 2017, our long-term supply agreements provide for minimum aggregate volume commitments from our customers of approximately $2.7 billion and encourage our customers to purchase additional volume up to, in the aggregate, a total contract value of over approximately $4.4 billion through the end of 2023. This collaborative dedicated supplier model provides us with contracted volumes that generate significant revenue visibility, drive capital efficiency and allow us to produce wind blades at a lower total delivered cost, while ensuring critical dedicated capacity for our customers. Our wind blade and precision molding and assembly systems manufacturing businesses accounted for approximately 98% of our total net sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for approximately 99% of our total net sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.Germany.

We divide ourOur business operations are defined geographically into fourfive geographic operating segments—(1) the United States (U.S.), (2) Asia, (3) Mexico, and(4) Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as follows:

Our U.S. segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades atand (5) India. See Note 14, Segment Reporting, to our Newton, Iowa plant, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems usedcondensed consolidated financial statements for the manufacture of wind blades inmore details about our Warren, Rhode Island facility, (3) the manufacturing of composite solutions for the transportation industry, which we also conduct in our Rhode Island and Massachusetts facilities and (4) our corporate headquarters, the costs of which are included in general and administrative expenses.operating segments.

Our Asia segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades in facilities in Taicang Port, China and in two facilities in Dafeng, China, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems in our Taicang City, China facility, (3) the manufacture of components in our second Taicang Port, China facility and (4) wind blade inspection and repair services.

Our Mexico segment manufactures wind blades from three facilities in Juárez, Mexico, one of which commenced operations in 2014, the second during the third quarter of 2016 and the third in January 2017.  In April 2017, our Mexico segment entered into a new lease agreement with a third party for a new manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico and expects to commence operations at this facility in the second half of 2018.

Our EMEA segment manufactures wind blades from two facilities in Izmir, Turkey. We entered into a joint venture in 2012 to produce wind blades at our first Turkey plant and in 2013 became the sole owner of the Turkey operation with the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest. Our EMEA segment commenced operations at our second facility during the third quarter of 2016.


KEY TRENDS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS

The trendCOVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect our business and operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Although all of wind turbine OEMs outsourcingour manufacturing facilities currently are operating at or near normal production levels, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities. For example, India and Turkey recently experienced significant increases in positive COVID-19 cases although these resurgences did not have a material impact on our operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, although we currently have not experienced any significant disruptions in our global supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our global supply chain may in the future be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.

We expect decreased demand for our wind blades remains strong as evidenced byfrom our signingcustomers during the remainder of 2021, in August 2017 of a new multiyear supply agreement with Senvion S.A. for two production linesparticular during the fourth quarter. We believe this decrease in our Taicang Port, China manufacturing facility.

Our wind turbine OEMs are experiencing significant pricing pressure in many geographic marketsdemand is short term and due to several factors, includingthe continued global renewable energy regulatory and policy uncertainty and raw material cost increases mentioned below. The result is an increasing prevalenceexpected adverse impact to our Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 of “winner take all” auction-based pricing models for new wind farm projects, increasing competition from solar energy projects and market demand shifts driven byapproximately $28 million. We believe that general optimism around potential legislation in the currentU.S. to extend the Production Tax Credit cycle(PTC) on a long-term basis is causing developers to reevaluate project timelines in anticipation of being able to build projects at higher PTC levels once the United States. Asexpected extensions are in place and therefore are not purchasing wind blades or turbines to satisfy current PTC safe harbor requirements.

In 2021, there have been both significant price increases and supply constraints with respect to resin and carbon fiber, which are key raw materials that we use to manufacture our products, as well as increases in logistics costs to obtain raw materials. The resin price increases and supply constraints are due to a resultmultitude of these market trends,factors, including the extreme cold weather in Texas in February 2021, fires at resin manufacturing facilities in China and unplanned maintenance outages at resin manufacturing facilities in Europe.  Carbon fiber prices have increased primarily due to the cost of raw material inputs as well as increased global demand for carbon fiber across multiple industries. These raw material price increases adversely affected our wind turbine OEM customers are requiring an increasing numberresults of wind blade model transitions in late 2017operations by approximately $4.4 million for both the three and 2018.

six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect that the price of resin and carbon fiber will remain at elevated levels for the remainder of 2021. Approximately 55% of the resin and resin systems we use are purchased under contracts either controlled or borne by two of our customers and therefore these customers receive/bear 100% of any increase in resin prices. With respect to our other customer supply agreements, our customers typically bear 70% of any raw material price increases. After taking into account our contractual share of any price increases for resin and carbon fiber, we estimate that the impact of these raw materials price increases, together with increased numberlogistics costs, will adversely impact our results of operations by approximately $20 million for 2021. If the supply of resin feedstocks and carbon fiber continue to be constrained for an extended period of time, such shortages could impact our ability to meet our customers’ forecasted demand for our products for the remainder of 2021 and have a further material adverse impact on our results of operations for the remainder of 2021.   

21


We are forecasting to incur a total of between $22 million and $37 million of restructuring charges associated with our global footprint alignment and consolidation in 2021 and 2022 relating to our China and North America operations. Between $15 million and $22 million of the total is forecasted to be incurred in 2021, with the remainder in 2022. We are forecasting that between 20% to 30% of the restructuring charges will be non-cash.

In July 2021, we commenced supplying wind blades to one of our customers at a manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico pursuant to a 3-year supply agreement.  In connection with the supply agreement, we will, among other things, (1) operate the manufacturing facility, and (2) utilize our workforce, procure raw materials and manufacture blades for the customer. The customer will resume management and operation of the wind blade model transitions in late 2017manufacturing facility at the end of the 3-year term if the supply agreement is not extended and 2018 may reduce our year-over-year revenue growth rate in 2018.we will cease to operate and supply blades from the customer’s manufacturing facility.   

COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONSKEY METRICS USED BY MANAGEMENT TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE

Net Sales

Net sales reflect salesFor a detailed discussion of our products, including wind blades, precision moldingkey financial measures and assembly systems and transportation products, as well as fees and other amounts paid by our customers to compensate us for our costs and capital expenditures associated with wind blade model transitions. Several factors affect net sales in any period, including customer demand, wind blade model transitions, general economic conditions and weather conditions. We currently derive an immaterial amount of net sales from our transportation business. Under GAAP, we do not recognize revenue on our wind blade sales until the wind blades have been delivered to our customers. Under our long-term supply agreements with our customers, we invoice our customers for wind blades once the blades pass certain acceptance procedures and title passes to our customers. Our customers generally pay us for the wind blades between 15 to 65 days after receipt of the invoice based on negotiated payment terms. However, in many cases, our customers request that we store their wind blades until they are ready to assemble wind turbines at a particular wind farm project. We have no control over when our customers decide to ship wind blades from our storage sites, and in some cases, our customers have stored large numbers of their wind blades at our sites for six months or more. Even if the customer has paid us for the wind blades and title has passedkey operating metrics, refer to the customer, we do not recognize revenue for these wind blades until the wind blades have been delivered to the customer. Instead, these transactions are recorded as deferred revenuediscussion in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cost“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Goods Sold

CostFinancial Condition and Results of goods sold includes the costs associated with products invoiced during the period as well as unallocated manufacturing overhead costs associated with startup and transition costs. Cost of sales includes all costs incurred at our production facilities to make products saleable, such as raw materials, direct labor and indirect labor and facilities costs, including purchasing and receiving costs, plant management, inspection costs, product engineering and internal transfer costs. In addition, all depreciation associated with assets used to produce composite products and make them saleable isOperations – Key Metrics Used By Management To Measure Performance” included in cost of sales. Direct labor costs consist of salaries, benefits and other personnel related costs for employees engaged in the manufacturePart II, Item 7 of our products.Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Startup costs represent the unallocated overhead related to both new manufacturing facilities as well as new lines in existing manufacturing facilities. Transition costs represent the unallocated overhead related to the transition of wind blade models at the request of our customers. The startup and transition costs are primarily fixed overhead costs incurred during the period production facilities are under-utilized while transitioning wind blade models and ramping up manufacturing, which are not allocated to products and are expensed as incurred. The cost of sales for the initial wind blades from a new model manufacturing line is generally higher than when the line is operating at optimal production volume levels due to inefficiencies during ramp-up related to labor hours per blade, cycle times per blade and raw material usage. Additionally, manufacturing overhead as a percentage of net sales is generally higher during the period in which a facility is ramping up to full production capacity due to underutilization of the facility. Manufacturing overhead at each of our facilities includes virtually all indirect costs (including share-based compensation costs) incurred at the plants, including engineering, finance, information technology, human resources and plant management.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are primarily incurred at our corporate headquarters and our research facilities and include salaries, benefits and other personnel related costs for employees engaged in research and development, engineering, finance, information technology, human resources, business development, global operational excellence, global supply chain, in-house legal and executive management. Other costs include outside legal and accounting fees, risk management (insurance), share-based compensation and certain other administrative and global resources costs.


For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our research and development expenses (included in general and administrative expenses) totaled $0.3 million, $0.4 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense on our credit facilities and the amortization of deferred financing costs and beneficial conversion features related to our debt borrowings. Other income (expense) also includes realized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement, interest income and miscellaneous income and expense.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision consists of federal, state, provincial, local and foreign taxes based on income in jurisdictions in which we operate, including in the United States, China, Mexico and Turkey. The composite income tax rate, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities vary according to the jurisdiction in which the income or loss arises. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by management and the respective governmental taxing authorities, and require us to exercise judgment in determining our income tax provision, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.

Net Income Attributable to Preferred Shareholders

Net income attributable to preferred shareholders related to the accrual of dividends on our convertible and senior redeemable preferred shares, the accretion to redemption amounts on our convertible preferred shares and warrant fair value adjustment. Immediately prior to the closing of our IPO, all preferred shares were converted into shares of our common stock and as a result, the accrual of dividends ceased.

See below for more information and a reconciliation of total billings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and net debt to net sales, net income, net income and total debt, net of debt issuance costs and discount, respectively, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.


Net sales and total billings

We define total billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as the total amounts we have invoiced our customers for products and services for which we are entitled to payment under the terms of our long-term supply agreements or other contractual agreements. We monitor total billings, and believe it is useful to present to investors as a supplement to our GAAP measures, because we believe it more directly correlates to sales activity and operations based on the timing of actual transactions with our customers, which facilitates comparison of our performance between periods and provides a more timely indication of trends in sales. Under GAAP, we do not recognize revenue on our wind blade sales until the wind blades have been delivered to our customers. Under our long-term supply agreements with our customers, we invoice our customers for wind blades once the blades pass certain acceptance procedures and title passes to our customers. Our customers generally pay us for the wind blades between 15 to 65 days after receipt of the invoice based on negotiated payment terms. However, in many cases, our customers request that we store their wind blades until they are ready to assemble wind turbines at a particular wind farm project. We have no control over when our customers decide to ship wind blades from our storage sites, and in some cases, our customers have stored large numbers of their wind blades on our sites for six months or more. Even if the customer has paid us for the wind blades and title has passed to the customer, we do not recognize revenue for these wind blades until the wind blades have been delivered to the customer. Instead, these transactions are recorded as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, we are contractually entitled to payment for those wind blades and, accordingly, invoice them when the blades are placed in storage.

Our use of total billings has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss plus interest expense (including losses on extinguishment of debt and net of interest income), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share-based compensation expense plus or minus any realized gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our management and our board of directors to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. In addition, our Credit Facility contains minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) covenants with which we must comply. We monitor adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to our GAAP measures, and believe it is useful to present to investors, because we believe that it facilitates evaluation of our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature, allowing comparison of our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods unaffected by differences in capital structure, capital investment cycles and fixed asset base. In addition, we believe adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance and debt-service capabilities.

Our uses of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

In evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments noted in this presentation. Our presentations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as suggesting that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income and other GAAP measures.

Net debt

We define net debt as the total principal amount of debt outstanding less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The total principal amount of debt outstanding is comprised of the long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt as presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets adding back any debt issuance costs and discount. We believe that the presentation of net debt provides useful information to investors because our management reviews net debt as part of our oversight of overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage. Net debt is important when we consider opening new plants and expanding existing plants, as well as for capital expenditure requirements.

Sets represents the number of wind blade sets, consisting of three wind blades each, which we invoiced worldwide during the period. We monitor sets and believe that presenting sets to investors is helpful because we believe that it is the most direct measurement of our manufacturing output during the period. Sets primarily impact net sales and total billings.

Estimated megawatts are the energy capacity to be generated by wind blade sets invoiced in the period. Our estimate is based solely on name-plate capacity of the wind turbine on which our wind blades are expected to be installed. We monitor estimated megawatts and believe that presenting estimated megawatts to investors is helpful because we believe that it is a commonly followed measurement of energy capacity across our industry and provides an indication of our share of the overall wind blade market.23


Dedicated manufacturing lines are the number of wind blade manufacturing lines that we have dedicated to our customers pursuant to our long-term supply agreements. We monitor dedicated manufacturing lines and believe that presenting this metric to investors is helpful because we believe that the number of dedicated manufacturing lines is the best indicator of demand for our wind blades from customers under our long-term supply agreements in any given period. Dedicated manufacturing lines primarily impacts our net sales and total billings. In April 2017, we entered into a multiyear supply agreement with Vestas to supply wind blades from two manufacturing lines at a new manufacturing facility that will be constructed in Matamoros, Mexico. We expect to commence operations at this facility in the second half of 2018. In August 2017, we entered into a multiyear supply agreement with Senvion S.A. to supply wind blades from two manufacturing lines at our Taicang Port, China facility. We expect to commence operations for this customer before the end of the first quarter of 2018.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total manufacturing lines installed represents the number of wind blade manufacturing lines installed and either in operation, startup or transition.

Manufacturing lines in startup is the number of dedicated wind blade manufacturing lines that were in a startup phase during the pre-production and production ramp up period, pursuant to the opening of a new manufacturing facility, the expansion of an existing manufacturing facility or the addition of new manufacturing lines in an existing manufacturing facility. We monitor and present this metric because we believe it helps investors to better understand the impact of the startup phase of our new manufacturing facilities on our gross profit and net income.

Manufacturing lines in transition is the number of wind blade manufacturing lines that were being transitioned to a new wind blade model during the period. We monitor and present this metric because we believe it helps investors to better understand the impact of these transitions on our gross profit and net income.

The increase in the same period in 2016. Netnet sales of wind blades increased by 20.3% to $233.5 million forduring the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to $194.2 million in the same periodperiods in 2016. The increase2020 was primarily driven by a 21%7% and 9% increase in the number of wind blades deliveredproduced, respectively, primarily as a result of increased production at our Mexico, India, Turkey and Iowa facilities. The increase was also due to a higher average sales price due to the mix of wind blade models produced during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 and foreign currency fluctuations. Additionally, when comparing our net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 against the comparable prior year periods, our net sales were negatively impacted by the removal of five contracted manufacturing lines that expired in China at the end of 2020, which was partially offset by the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on our net sales in the prior year periods. Finally, the net sales increases in both periods were partially offset by a decrease in the year over year number of wind blades still in the production process at the end of the periods. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro in our Turkey operations and the Chinese Renminbi in our China operations had a favorable impact of 1.8% and 1.7% on consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the 2020 periods.

The decrease in the Asia segment’s net sales of wind blades during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily from our China, Mexico and Turkey plants as well as from foreign currency fluctuations in Turkey, partially offset by a decline in the average sales prices of the same wind blade models delivered in both periods as a result of geographic mix and savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $5.9 million from $3.3 million in the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of our customers requiring more precision molding and assembly systems from our Taicang facility during the three months ended September 30, 20172021 as compared to the same period in 2016. Total billings2020 was primarily due to a 52% decrease in the number of wind blades produced, primarily due to the removal of five contracted manufacturing lines that expired in China at the end of 2020. The sales decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades due to a change in the mix of wind blades produced in the two comparative periods. Additionally, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 increased by $60.3 million or 30.8% to $256.4 million compared to $196.1 million2021, there was an increase in the same period over period number of wind blades still in 2016.

U.S. Segment

The decrease in the loss from operations in the U.S. segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to the increase in wind blade volume, an increase in the average sales price of wind blades and a decrease in direct labor costs, partially offset by an increase in direct material costs at our Newton, Iowa blade facility.

Asia Segment

The decrease in the income from operations in the Asia segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to the decrease in the net sales of wind blades and foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of wind blades. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, there was a decrease in startup and transition costs. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi had an unfavorable impact of 6.7% and 6.5% on cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the 2020 periods.

Mexico Segment

The increase in the loss from operations in the Mexico segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in direct material costs and startup and transition costs, partially offset by the increase in wind blade volume and an increase in the average sales price of wind blades. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was an increase and a decrease, respectively, in warranty costs as compared to the 2020 periods.

EMEA Segment

The increase in the income from operations in the EMEA segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily driven by increased wind blade production at our two Turkey manufacturing facilities, an increase in the average sales price of wind blades, and a decrease in warranty costs. In addition, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, down from 7.1% in the same period in 2016. The decrease2021, there was primarily driven by a $6.1 million decrease in share-based compensationstartup and transition costs in the 2017 period as compared to the 2016 period, which was the period in which we recorded the expense from grant date through the end of the third quarter of 20162020 period. Additionally, for the performance awards upon consummationsix months ended June 30, 2021, there was an increase in direct material costs as compared to the 2020 period. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro had an unfavorable impact of the IPO. This decrease was partially offset by additional costs incurred to enhance our corporate support functions to support our growth1.1% and public company governance.

U.S. Segment

Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased slightly to $44.6 million compared to $45.1 million in the same period in 2016. Net sales of wind blades decreased to $39.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $41.8 million in the same period of 2016 primarily due to a slight reduction in the number of wind blades delivered and a decline in the average sales prices of the same wind blade models delivered in both periods asAs a result of savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision moldinguncertainty relating to: (i) the evolving nature, magnitude and assembly systems during the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2016. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in non-wind related net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.


The loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $8.1 million as compared to a loss of $12.9 million in the same period in 2016. These amounts include corporate general and administrative costs of $9.3 million and $14.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The decrease in the corporate general and administrative costs was primarily due to a $6.1 million decrease in share-based compensation costs, partially offset by additional costs incurred to enhance our corporate support functions to support our growth and public company governance. The operating results were also unfavorably impacted by lower precision molding volume discussed above during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the 2016 period.

Asia Segment

Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $15.6 million or 18.0% to $102.5 million compared to $86.8 million in the same period in 2016. Net sales of wind blades were $97.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $85.4 million in the same period of 2016. The increase was the result of a 24% increase in the number of wind blades delivered during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. These increases were partially offset by a change in the mix of wind blade models sold and lower average sales prices of wind blades delivered in both periods due to savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers. The impactduration of the fluctuating U.S. dollar againstCOVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the Chinese Renminbi did not have a significant effect on net sales duringvariety of measures implemented by governments around the three months ended September 30, 2017, as comparedworld to an unfavorable impact of 1.2% inaddress its effects and (iii) the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems totaled $4.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Income from operations in the Asia segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $24.0 million as compared to $17.3 million in the same period in 2016. In addition to the factors noted above, the increase reflects lower overhead costs in the 2017 period as compared to 2016. As with net sales, the fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi did not have a significant effect on cost of goods sold for three months ended September 30, 2017 versus a favorable impact of 4.2% in the comparable 2016 period.

Mexico Segment

Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $9.5 million or 26.8% to $44.9 million compared to $35.4 million in the same period in 2016, reflecting the beginning of wind blade production in our second and third plants and a slight increase in wind blade volume at our first Mexico plant. These increases were partially offset by lower average sales prices of wind blades delivered in both periods. Net sales of wind blades represents the entirety of net sales in the Mexico segment in the 2017 and 2016 periods.

Income from operations in the Mexico segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.3 million as compared to $3.6 million in the same period in 2016. The decrease in income from operations was due to the startup losses incurred at our three new Mexico facilities and the unfavorable impact of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican Peso on cost of goods sold of 1.1%, partially offset by the increase in wind blade volume in the 2017 period as compared to 2016 as well as from savings in raw material costs. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Mexican Peso had a favorable impact of 2.2% on cost of goods sold for three months ended September 30, 2016.

EMEA Segment

Net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $19.8 million or 62.7% to $51.4 million compared to $31.6 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, partially offset by a 34% decrease in wind blade volume at our first Turkey plant as a result of GE only requiring the minimum volume required under its contract after its decision to not renew or extend its supply agreement with us beyond 2017. We completed 100% of this volume by the end of June to enable us to accelerate the transition of those manufacturing lines to two new manufacturing lines for Nordex Group. Other items having a favorable impact on net sales includeour manufacturing operations, we have and will continue to manage our liquidity to ensure our long-term viability until the mix of wind blades sold during the period as well as overall higher average sales prices of wind blades delivered in the comparative periods due to the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant and the impact of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to the Euro of 5.2%. This compares to a favorable impact on net sales of 0.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net sales of wind blades represents the entirety of net sales in the EMEA segment in 2017 and 2016.COVID-19 pandemic abates. 

Income from operations in the EMEA segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.3 million as compared to $0.2 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by the wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, improved operating efficiency at our first Turkey plant, savings in raw materials and the net favorable impact on cost of goods sold of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro of 1.1% compared to 0.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $113.8 million or 20.0% to $683.1 million compared to $569.3 million in the same period in 2016. Net sales of wind blades increased by 21.4% to $657.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $541.7 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by a 24% increase in the number of wind blades delivered during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 from each of our segments, partially offset by a decline in the average sales prices of the same wind blade models delivered in both periods as a result of geographical mix and savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers, as well as from foreign currency fluctuations in China. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to $15.3 million from $23.2 million in the same period in 2016. This decrease was primarily the result of our customers requiring less precision molding and assembly systems from our Rhode Island facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Total billings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $132.1 million or 23.3% to $698.8 million compared to $566.8 million in the same period in 2016. The net unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on consolidated net sales and total billings of 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively, was driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi at our China operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to reductions of 0.5% for both categories during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Total cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $597.7 million and included aggregate costs of $29.1 million related to startup costs in our new plants in Mexico and Turkey and the startup of new wind blade models for certain of our customers in Turkey and Dafeng, China. This compares to total cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $511.3 million, including aggregate costs of $11.4 million related to startup costs in our new plants in Mexico and Turkey as well as the transition of wind blade models in our original plant in Mexico. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales of wind blades decreased by two percentage points during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, driven by improved operating efficiencies and the impact of savings in raw material costs and foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by the increase in startup and transition costs. The impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, Turkish Lira, Chinese Renminbi and Mexican Peso reduced consolidated cost of goods sold by 2.8% for nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.3% in the same period in 2016.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $28.4 million as compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 4.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, down from 4.2% in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by additional costs incurred to enhance our corporate support functions to support our growth and public company governance, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in share-based compensation costs in the 2017 period as compared to the same period in 2016, which was the period in which we recorded the expense from grant date through the end of the third quarter of 2016 for the performance awards upon consummation of the IPO.


Other expense totaled $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2016. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily comprised of interest expense of $9.2 million and the realized loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $2.6 million. This compares to interest expense of $12.7 million and $0.7 million related to the realized loss on foreign currency remeasurement in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income tax provision increased to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.6 million for the same period in 2016. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance which was recorded against our Turkey operation’s deferred tax assets as well as the benefit received in the quarter by the Turkey operations from new tax incentives from its government.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $37.8 million as compared to $16.1 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to the reasons set forth above.

Net income attributable to preferred shareholders was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and there was none in the 2017 period as following our IPO in July 2016, all of the previously outstanding preferred shares were converted to common shares.

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $37.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $10.6 million in the same period in 2016. This was primarily due to the improved operating results discussed above. Diluted earnings per share was $1.09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.88 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

U.S. Segment

Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $5.6 million or 4.0% to $136.3 million compared to $141.9 million in the same period in 2016. The decrease was driven by lower net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems at our Rhode Island facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $5.8 million compared to $17.0 million during the same period in 2016. There was also a slight decrease in our net sales of wind blades which totaled $120.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $120.5 million in the same period of 2016. This decrease was driven by a decline in the average sales prices of the same wind blade models delivered in both periods as a result of savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers, partially offset by a 4% increase in the number of wind blades delivered.  These decreases were partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in non-wind related net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.


The loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $26.2 million as compared to a loss of $18.1 million in the same period in 2016. These amounts include corporate general and administrative costs of $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the corporate general and administrative costs was primarily due to additional costs incurred to enhance our corporate support functions to support our growth and public company governance, partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in share-based compensation costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The operating results were also unfavorably impacted by slightly lower gross profit on wind blades delivered during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the 2016 period as well as the lower precision molding volume discussed above during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the 2016 period.

Asia Segment

Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $45.6 million or 19.6% to $278.3 million compared to $232.6 million in the same period in 2016. Net sales of wind blades were $268.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $226.4 million in the same period of 2016. The increase was the result of a 26% increase in the number of wind blades delivered during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. These increases were partially offset by a change in the mix of wind blade models sold, lower average sales prices of wind blades due to savings in raw material costs, a portion of which we share with our customers and the unfavorable impact of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Chinese Renminbi of 1.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to an unfavorable impact of 1.4% during the comparable 2016 period. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems totaled $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income from operations in the Asia segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $64.2 million as compared to $48.1 million in the same period in 2016. In addition to the factors noted above, the increase in income from operations reflects higher gross margins on wind blade sales driven by operating efficiencies and the favorable impact on cost of goods sold of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Chinese Renminbi of 3.2%, as well as lower overhead costs in the 2017 period as compared to 2016. The impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese Renminbi on cost of goods sold for nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 4.5%.

Mexico Segment

Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $45.4 million or 51.2% to $134.0 million compared to $88.6 million in the same period in 2016, reflecting a 35% increase in wind blade volume at our first Mexico plant and the beginning of wind blade production in our second plant, partially offset by lower average sales prices of wind blades delivered in both periods. Net sales of wind blades represents the entirety of net sales in the Mexico segment in the 2017 and 2016 periods.

Income from operations in the Mexico segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5.3 million as compared to $6.2 million in the same period in 2016. The decrease was largely driven by the startup losses incurred at our three new Mexico facilities, partially offset by the increase in wind blade volume in the 2017 period as compared to 2016 and operating efficiencies at our first Mexico plant, as well as from savings in raw material costs and the favorable impact of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican Peso on cost of goods sold of 0.6%. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Mexican Peso had a favorable impact of 3.0% for nine months ended September 30, 2016.

EMEA Segment

Net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $28.4 million or 26.8% to $134.5 million compared to $106.1 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, partially offset by a 24% decrease in wind blade volume at our first Turkey plant as a result of GE only requiring the minimum volume required under its contract after its decision to not renew or extend its supply agreement with us beyond 2017. We completed 100% of this volume by the end of June to enable us to accelerate the transition of those manufacturing lines to two new manufacturing lines for Nordex Group. Other items having a favorable impact on net sales include the mix of wind blades sold during the period as well as overall higher average sales prices of wind blades delivered in the comparative periods due to the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro did not have a significant effect on net sales in either the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. Net sales of wind blades represents the entirety of net sales in the EMEA segment in 2017 and 2016.

Income from operations in the EMEA segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $13.9 million as compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by the wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, improved operating efficiencies at our first Turkey plant, savings in raw material costs, and a large warranty reserve accrual expensed related to the settlement agreement and release with one of its customers to resolve a potential warranty claim related to


wind blades primarily manufactured in 2014 in the 2016 period as well as the net favorable impact on cost of goods sold of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro of 8.4%. This compares to the favorable impact of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro of 3.9% for nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity have been, and in the future will continue to be, capital expenditures, new facility startup costs, the impact of transitions, working capital, and debt service costs.costs, warranty costs and restructuring costs associated with the optimization of our global footprint. Our capital expenditures have been primarily related to machinery and equipment forat our new facilities or facility expansions.and expansion and improvements at our existing facilities. Historically, we have funded our working capital needs through cash flows from operations, the proceeds received from our credit facilities and from proceeds received from the issuance of stock. We had net borrowings onproceeds under our financing arrangements of $5.3$19.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to net repayments onproceeds under our financing arrangements of $14.2$97.1 million in the comparable period of 2016.2020. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $135.5$237.1 million and $217.9 million in outstanding indebtedness, excluding debt issuance costs.costs, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2021,

29


we had an aggregate of $74.8$115.9 million of remaining capacity and $39.7$91.1 million of remaining availability under our various credit facilities. Working capital requirements have increased as a result of our overall growth and the need to fund higher accounts receivable and inventory levels as our business volumes have increased.increased, as well as increased raw material costs primarily related to resin, carbon fiber and logistics. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that cash on hand, available credit facilities and cash flowflows from operations will be adequate to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to make required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness over the next twelve months.

We anticipate that any new facilities and future facility expansions will be funded through cash flows from operations, the proceeds of our IPO in July 2016, the incurrence of other indebtedness and other potential sources of liquidity.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $139.1$123.1 million and $119.1$129.9 million, respectively. The SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 balance includes $33.5$67.9 million of cash located outside of the United States, including $31.5$58.7 million in China, $1.2$5.1 million in Turkey, and $0.8$2.3 million in Mexico. Mexico, $1.5 million in India, and $0.3 million in other countries.

Our ability to repatriate funds from China to the United States is subject to a number of restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. We repatriate funds through several technology license and corporate/administrative service agreements. We are compensated quarterly based on agreed upon royalty rates for such intellectual property licenses and quarterly fees for those services. Certain of our subsidiaries are limited in their ability to declare dividends without first meeting statutory restrictions of the People’s Republic of China, including retained earnings as determined under Chinese-statutory accounting requirements. Until 50% ($5.2 million)26.6 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020) of registered capital is contributed to a surplus reserve, our ChineseChina operations can only pay dividends equal to 90% of after-tax profits (10% must be contributed to the surplus reserve). Once the surplus reserve fund requirement is met, our ChineseChina operations can pay dividends equal to 100% of after-tax profit assuming other conditions are met. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, the amount of the surplus reserve fund was $4.4 million.$9.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. In July 2021, China paid a dividend of approximately $19.5 million, net of withholding taxes, to our subsidiary in Switzerland.

Financing Facilities

Our total principal amount of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was $237.1 million, including our Credit Agreement, secured and unsecured financing agreements and equipment finance leases. See Note 5, Long-Term Debt, Net of Current Maturities, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on our debt balances.

Share Repurchases


During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 68,815 shares of our common stock for $1.3 million related to tax withholding requirements on restricted stock units which vested during the period.

Description of Our Indebtedness

Senior Financing Agreements (U.S.):

In December 2016, we amended and restated our previous credit facility (the Restated Credit Facility). The previous $100.0 million of available principal was replaced with a $75.0 million term loan and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility, which originally included a $15.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, which was increased to $20.0 million in April 2017. The borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate through maturity at LIBOR, with a 1.0% floor, plus 5.75% (currently 7.09%). The Restated Credit Facility requires us to make quarterly principal payments in the amount of $0.9 million of the outstanding principal loan balance commencing in March 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance to be repaid on or before December 30, 2020. The Restated Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require us and our subsidiaries to satisfy certain capital expenditure and other financial covenants, and restricts the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, enter into joint ventures or partnerships, engage in mergers and acquisitions, engage in asset sales and declare dividends on its capital stock without the prior written consent of the lenders. The obligations under the Restated Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all tangible and intangible property of us and our domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge by us and our domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions from collateral.

If we prepay any of the outstanding principal loan balance prior to December 30, 2017, we are required to pay the lenders a premium in an amount equal to the amount of interest that otherwise would have been payable from the date of prepayment until December 30, 2017 plus 3.0% of the amount of the principal loan balance that was prepaid. If we prepay any of the outstanding principal loan balance after December 30, 2017 through December 30, 2018, we are required to pay the lenders 2.0% of the principal loan balance that was prepaid, and if we prepay any of the outstanding loan balance after December 30, 2018 through December 30, 2019, we are required to pay a premium of 1.5% of the amount of the principal loan balance that was prepaid.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate outstanding balance under the Restated Credit Facility was $75.0 million and $77.8 million, respectively. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain appropriate minimum leverage or fixed-charge coverage ratio requirements in the future.

Accounts Receivable, Secured and Unsecured Financing:

EMEA: During 2014, we renewed a general credit agreement with a financial institution in Turkey to provide up to $20.0 million (later updated to 21.0 million Euro, or approximately $24.8 million as of September 30, 2017) of short-term collateralized financing on invoiced accounts receivable of one of Turkey’s customers. Interest accrues annually at a variable rate (currently 5.75%) and is paid quarterly. In December 2014, we obtained an additional $7.0 million (later decreased to $5.0 million) of unsecured financing in Turkey under the credit agreement, increasing the total facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RiskQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These market risks are principally limited to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We currently do not hedge our exposure to these risks.

31


Foreign Currency Risk. We conduct international operations in China, Mexico, Turkey and Turkey.India. Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. We incur currency transaction risk whenever we enter into either a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the transacting entity. With respect to currency translation risk, our financial condition and results of operations are measured and recorded in the relevant domestic currency and then translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our historicalcondensed consolidated financial statements. In recent years, exchange rates between these foreign currencies and the U.S. dollarsdollar have fluctuated significantly and may do so in the future. A hypothetical change of 10% in the exchange rates for the countries above would have resulted in a change to income from operations of approximately $6.0 million and $5.7$15.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2021.

Commodity Price Risk. We are subject to commodity price risk under agreements for the supply of our raw materials. We have not hedged nor do we intend to hedge, our commodity price exposure. We generally lock in pricing for most of our key raw materials for 12 months which protects us from price increases within that period. Additionally, the arrangementsperiod, which we have with our customers limitbelieve helps to mitigate the impact of anyraw material price or cost increases.

Finally, since As many of our raw material supply agreements have meet or release clauses, if raw materials prices go down,decrease, we can alsoare able to benefit from the reductions in price. We believe that this adequately protects us from increases in raw material prices but also enables us to take full advantage of decreases. We believe that a 10% change in the price of resin

Resin and resin systems are the primary commodities for which we do not have fixed pricing,pricing. Approximately 55% of the resin and resin systems we use are purchased under contracts either controlled or borne by two of our customers and therefore they receive/bear 100% of any increase or decrease in resin costs further limiting our exposure to price fluctuations.

Prior to taking into account any contractual obligations of our customers to share with us the cost savings or increases resulting from a change in the current forecasted price of resin and resin systems, we believe that a 10% change in the current forecasted price of resin and resin systems for the customers in which we are exposed to fluctuating prices would have had an impact to income from operations of approximately $9.9 million and $12.0$11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017full year 2021. Under our customer supply agreements, our customers typically receive 70% of the cost savings or increases resulting from a change in the price of resin and 2016, respectively.resin systems.  

Interest Rate Risk. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we have an aggregate2021, our Credit Agreement includes interest on the unhedged principal amount of $75.0$96.2 million which is tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), our India segment has two credit agreements outstanding under the Restated Credit Facility that iswhich are tied to LIBOR, and an aggregate of $27.1 million outstanding under aour EMEA segment has one general credit agreement with a Turkish financial institution thatoutstanding which is tied to EURIBOR.the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR). For a discussion of the interest rate swap arrangement we entered into related to our Credit Agreement, see Note 13, Financial Instruments, to the notes to the consolidated financial statements within our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The RestatedIndia credit agreements had secured and unsecured working capital financing of $6.4 million and unsecured term loan financing of $2.1 million outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The two EMEA credit agreements had unsecured financing of $5.9 million and financing of capital expenditures of $2.1 million outstanding as of June 30, 2021. Our Credit FacilityAgreement, the two India credit agreements, and the Turkishone EMEA general credit agreement are the only variable rate debt instrumentsagreements that we had outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 20162021 as all remaining working capital loans, secured and unsecured financing accounts receivable financing and capitalfinance lease obligations are fixed rate instruments and are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Due to the relatively low LIBOR and EURIBOR rates in effect as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, a 10% change in the LIBOR or EURIBOR rate would not have had a material impact on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

PART II—II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in March 2015, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona (Maricopa County) by a former employee of the Company, alleging that the Company had agreed to make certain cash payments to such employee upon any future sale of the Company. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in April 2015, which was denied. We subsequently filed an answer to the complaint in July 2015 denying the substantive allegations of the complaint. The parties completed court-ordered mediation in December 2015 but were not able to reach a settlement. We filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint in April 2016See Note 12, Commitments and the court denied our motion in August 2016. The court set a trial date for September 2017. In May 2017, we filed a motion for continuance to change the trial date and the court granted our motion. The court has set a trial date in August 2018. We continue to deny the substantive allegations of the complaint and we intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit; however, we are currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this case.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in August 2015, we entered into a transition agreement with our former Senior Vice President – Asia (SVP–Asia)Contingencies, pursuant to which he transitioned out of this role at the end of 2015 and was to serve in a consulting capacity in 2016 and 2017. In January 2016, following our discovery that he had materially violated the terms of his transition agreement, we terminated his consultancy for cause. In April 2016, he filed an arbitration claim in China with the Taicang Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee alleging that we improperly terminated his transition agreement. He is demanding that we continue to honor the terms of the transition agreement and pay him compensation and fees owed to him under the transition agreement, which in the aggregate total approximately $2.6 million. In addition, he is also challenging the validityheading “Legal Proceedings” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our termination of his option to purchase 164,880 shares of our common stocklegal proceedings and 77,760 restricted stock units under the 2015 Plan, which were canceled in January 2016 when we terminated his consultancy. In May 2017, the arbitration committee awarded our former SVP–Asia approximately fifty percent of the amounts demanded under the transition agreement but denied his claims regarding the improper termination of his stock option and restricted stock units. We have appealed the arbitration committee’s award of damages in favor of our former SVP–Asia and the appeal remains pending. We previously established a reserve for this matter and we do not believe the award, if upheld on appeal, will have a material impact on our operating results or financial condition.other related matters.

Item 1A. Risk FactorsRISK FACTORS

Other than the supplemental risk factor set forthExcept as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors (Part I, Item 1A) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect the Company’sour business, financial condition, and/or future results.

The proposed tax reform bill introducedOur business, operations and financial condition during the six months ended June 30, 2021 were not materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic however we cannot estimate the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and our business may be adversely affected in the U.S. Housefuture if the COVID-19 pandemic persists.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect our business and operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Although all of Representativesour manufacturing facilities currently are operating at or near normal production levels, we may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences of COVID-19 cases in early November contains provisions which, if enacted, would likelythe regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities. For example, India and Turkey recently experienced significant increases in positive COVID-19 cases although these resurgences did not have a material adverse effectimpact on our operations during the U.S. wind energy sector andsix months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, although we are not currently experiencing any significant disruptions in our global supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our global supply chain may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The proposed tax reform bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in early November contains provisions that would limitfuture be adversely affected if the value and potential use of the Production Tax Credit for Renewable Energy (PTC) to finance the development of wind energy projects in the United States. Under current law, a taxpayer may claim a PTC for the production of electricity from qualified wind energy projects at a qualifying facility during the 10-year period beginning on the date the facility was originally placed in service. In addition, current law provides that the base amount of the PTC is 1.5 cents (indexed annually for inflation) per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced.  For 2016, the amount of the PTC is generally 2.3 cents per kilowatt-hour. Under the proposed tax reform bill, the inflation adjustment would be repealed, effective for electricity produced at a wind energy facility, the construction of which begins after November 2, 2017, and taxpayers’ credit amount would revert back to 1.5 cents per kilowatt- hour for the remaining portion of the 10-year period.  The proposed tax reform legislation also would require a “continuous program of construction” from the date a wind energy facility begins construction to the date it is placed in service to qualify for the PTC.  The “continuous program of construction” requirement exists under current law and has been interpreted by the Department of the Treasury to permit several “safe harbor” time periods. At present, it is unclear whether the proposed tax reform bill, if enacted, would effectively eliminate those safe harbors or whether the U.S. Department of Treasury may issue them unchanged or substantially unchanged. If the proposed changes to the PTC are enacted, it would likely have a material adverse effect on the U.S. wind energy sector and reduce the demand for our wind turbine blades.  Any reduction in the demand for our wind turbine blades may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.COVID-19 pandemic persists.
