Note
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes. The results reported in these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited
financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
The
preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and
conditions. Estimates utilized in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability
of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment
of long-lived assets. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from
these estimates and could differ materially. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are
necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, and are of a
normal, recurring nature.
The
Company has one operating segment, Architectural Glass and Windows, which is also its reporting segment, comprising the design, manufacturing,
distribution, marketing and installation of high-specification architectural glass and window products sold to the construction industry.
Principles
of Consolidation
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI and its subsidiaries Tecnoglass S.A.S (“TG”), C.I.
Energía Solar S.A.S E.S. Windows (“ES”), ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”),
Tecno RE LLC (“Tecno RE”), GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”), Componenti USA LLC, ES Metals
SAS (“ES Metals”), and Ventanas Solar S.A (“VS”), which are entities in which we have a controlling financial
interest because we hold a majority voting interest. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first
evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity and if we are not, the entity
is evaluated under the voting interest model. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation,
including unrealized intercompany profits and losses. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in affiliates and other
joint ventures over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.
TGI
and certain wholly owned subsidiaries with functional currency different than the U.S. dollar have long-term intercompany loan balances
denominated in foreign currencies that are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Such loan balances
are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future. Any gains and losses relating to these loans are included in the accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform
on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships
and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts,
hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference
rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships
entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity
has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In December 2022, the
FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which deferred the effective date of Topic 848. As a result, this standard
is effective beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company’s outstanding debt, which bears interest based on LIBOR, contains provisions
for transitioning into a benchmark reference rate prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR in 2023. Our interest rate swap derivative contract
will be adjusted accordingly.

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

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

on January 1, 2022.
Remaining
Performance Obligations
As
of March 31, 2023, the Company had $499.1 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of firm
orders minus sales recognized from inception to date. Remaining performance obligations exclude unexercised contract options, verbal
commitments, Letters of Intent or written mandates, and potential orders under basic ordering agreements. The Company expects to recognize
100% of sales relating to existing performance obligations within three years, of which $358.1 million are expected to be recognized
during the year ending December 31, 2023, $114.6 million during the year ending December 31, 2024 and $26.5 million during the year ending December 31, 2025.

6. Supplier Finance Program
Tecnoglass,
Inc. has established payment terms to suppliers for the purchase of goods and services, which normally range between 30 and 60 days.
In the normal course of business, suppliers may require liquidity and manage, through third parties, the advanced payment of
invoices. The Company allows its suppliers the option to make payments in advance of an invoice due date, through a third-party
finance provider or intermediary, with the purpose of allowing suppliers to obtain the required liquidity. For these purposes,
suppliers present to the Company the third-party finance provider or intermediary with whom they will carry out the finance
program and establish an agreement, through which the invoices will be paid by the third-party finance provider or intermediary once
the Company has confirmed the invoices are valid. Once the Company confirms the invoices are valid, the third-party finance
provider or intermediary proceeds with the payment to the supplier. Subsequently, the Company pays the invoices for goods or
services to the third-party finance provider or intermediary selected by the supplier. Payment times do not vary from those
initially agreed with the supplier, as stated in the invoices factored by the supplier (i.e. between 30 and 60 days). Pursuant to
the supplier finance program, the Company has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to
third-party finance provider or intermediary.
As
of March 31, 2023, the obligations outstanding related to the supplier finance program amount to $2,335, recorded as current liabilities,
with $2,186 classified as Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and $149 classified as Due to related parties.

Long-term debt | |
$ | 169,076 | | |
$ | 168,980 | |
In
November 2021, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility to (i) increase the borrowing capacity under its committed
line of credit from $50 million to $150 million, (ii) reduce its borrowing costs by an approximate 130 basis points and (iii) extend
the initial maturity date by one year to the end of 2026. Borrowings under the credit facility now bear interest at a rate of LIBOR
with no floor plus a spread of 1.50%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio, compared to a prior rate of LIBOR with a
floor of 0.75% plus a spread of 2.50%, resulting on total annual savings of approximately $15 million at current levels of
outstanding borrowings, since entering into our inaugural US Bank syndicated facility in October of 2020. The effective interest
rate for this credit facility including deferred issuance costs is 7.42%. In relation to this transaction, the Company accounted for
costs related to fees paid of $1,496. This was accounted for as a debt modification and $1,346 of fees paid to banks were
capitalized as deferred cost of financing and $150 paid to third parties recorded as an operating expense on the consolidated
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. In March 2022, we voluntarily prepaid $15 million of capital to this
credit facility which has decreased our net leverage ratio and triggered a step down in the applicable interest rate spread to 1.5%.
Additionally, on September 30, 2022, we voluntarily prepaid $10.0 million of the term loan and $6.7 million under the revolving line
of credit which remains fully unused as of March 31, 2023.
Maturities
of long-term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of March 31, 2023:

The
Company’s loans have maturities ranging from a few weeks to 5 years. Our credit facilities bear a weighted average interest rate
of 6.63% as of March 31, 2023. When considering the effect of our interest rate swap contracts that hedge $125 million of our outstanding
debt through November 2026 (further described below in Note 8), the net average interest rate applicable to our credit facilities as
of March 31, 2023 is 4.30%.
Note
8. Hedging Activity and Fair Value Measurements
Hedging
Activity
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we entered into several interest rate swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuations related
to our outstanding debt. The effective date of the contracts are December 31, 2022, and, thus, we shall have payment dates each quarter,
commencing March 31, 2023. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we entered into several foreign currency non-delivery forward
contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Colombian Peso and the U.S. Dollar. Our contracts are designated
as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted LIBOR and Colombian
Peso denominated costs and expenses, respectively.
In determining fair value, we
record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s
credit risk for contracts in an asset position. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance
when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on
hand, as well as their credit ratings.
As
of March 31, 2023, the fair value of our interest rate swap and foreign currency non-delivery forward contracts was in a net asset position
of $9.4 million. We had 15 outstanding interest rate swap contracts to hedge $125 million related to our outstanding debt through November
2026 and 2 non-delivery forward contracts to exchange $15 million U.S. Dollars to Colombian Pesos through April 2023. We assessed the
risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was insignificant and, therefore, did not record any adjustment
to fair value as of March 31, 2023.
We
assess the effectiveness of our interest rate swap and foreign currency non-delivery forward contracts by comparing the change in the
fair value of the interest rate swap and foreign currency non-delivery forward contracts to the change in the expected cash to be paid
for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap and foreign currency non-delivery forward contracts
is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income
statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of gains, net, recognized
in the “accumulated other comprehensive income” line item in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
2023 that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months is $3.5 million.

Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a
framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially
the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure
assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and advances from customers approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities. The Company bases its fair value
estimate for long term debt obligations on its internal valuation that all debt is floating rate debt based on current interest rates
in Colombia.
The
fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risks are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves. Measurement of
our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. To carry out the swap valuation, the definition of the fixed
leg (obligation) and variable leg (right) is used. Once the projected flows are obtained in both fixed and variable rates, the regression
analysis is performed for prospective effectiveness test. The projection curve contains the forward interest rates to project flows at
a variable rate and the discount curve contains the interest rates to discount future flows, using the one-month USD Libor curve.
As
of March 31, 2023, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See
Note 7 – Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted at current
market rates, which are level 2 inputs.
The
following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long-term debt:

Vidrio
Andino Joint Venture
On
May 3, 2019, we consummated a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component
of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of
Saint-Gobain. The purchase price for our interest in Vidrio Andino was $45,000, of which $34,100 was paid in cash and $10,900 paid through the contribution of land on December 9, 2020. On October 28, 2020, we acquired said land from a related party and
paid for it with the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, valued at $7.00 per share, which represented
an approximate 33% premium based on the closing stock price as of October 27, 2020.
The
land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect will
carry significant efficiencies for us once it becomes operative, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded
with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the
joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12,500 if
needed (based on debt availability as a first option).
In
the ordinary course of business, we purchased $6,345 and $5,093 from Vidrio Andino during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and
2022, respectively. We also had outstanding payables to Vidrio Andino of $4,826 and $4,853 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
respectively. We recorded equity method income of $1,448 and $1,580 on our Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Zofracosta
SA
We
have an investment in Zofracosta SA, a real estate holding company and operator of a tax-free zone located in the vicinity of the proposed
glass plant being built through our Vidrio Andino joint venture recorded at $657 and $632 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
respectively. Affiliates of Jose Daes and Christian Daes have a majority ownership stake in Zofracosta SA.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As
of March 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $72,172 of certain raw materials from
a specific supplier before November 30, 2030.
On
May 3, 2019, we consummated a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio
Andino. The purchase price for our interest in Vidrio Andino was $45,000, of which $34,100 was paid in cash and $10,900 was contributed through a parcel of land to be used for the building of a second factory. On October 28, 2020, the land was paid for
through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, at $7.00 per share, which represented an approximate
33% premium based on the Company´s share price as of October 27, 2020.
The
joint venture agreement includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our
primary manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original
cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will
not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12,500 to be paid if needed (based on debt
availability as a first option).
General
Legal Matters
From
time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the regular course of business. Some disputes are derived directly
from our construction projects, related to supply and installation, and even though deemed ordinary; they may involve significant monetary
damages. We are also subject to other type of litigations arising from employment practices, worker’s compensation, automobile
claims and general liability. It is very difficult to predict precisely what the outcome of these litigations might be. However, with
the information at our disposition as this time, there are no indications that such claims will result in a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Note
13. Subsequent Events
On
April 4, 2023 we entered into a settlement agreement related to a completed project.. The conditions were determined to have existed
as of the date of the balance sheet and therefore were recorded the related expenses as an accounts payable on the balance sheet as of
March 31, 2023 and as an operating expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
