Current report
Operating expenses increased $8.4 million, or 19.8%, from $42.5 million to $50.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, and 2026, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from increased personnel cost, on higher salaries and a stronger Colombian Peso. Additionally the Government of Colombia imposed a one-time, non-recurring $2.9 million wealth tax on larger Colombian companies in order to subsidy certain unexpected climate related emergencies. This measure is currently being challenged under the Supreme Court. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million recovery of previously paid import tariffs recorded as a reduction to selling expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 on certain products imported to the United States under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were not valid in February 2026.
Current report
Financing activities also reflected gross debt proceeds of $39.4 million and repayments of $15.3 million, mainly used to repurchase $16.4 million of our stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025, leaving $92.5 million remaining under our $250 million Share Repurchase Program.

Previous report
On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, solidifying our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs. Additionally, in April 2019, we acquired a 70% equity interest in ESMetals, which has been consolidated in our financial statements since. In November 2023, we acquired the remaining 30% equity interest in ESMetals. ESMetals is a Colombian entity that serves as a metalwork contractor to supply us with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy.
Previous report
Operating expenses increased $5.8 million, or 13.9%, from $41.5 million to $47.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024, and 2025, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from recent Tariffs on imports into the U.S. which generated $1.4 million expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, lower than the $8.2 million expense on tariffs during the three months ended June 30, 2025, mainly related to our American sourced aluminum initiative. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses increased nominally given higher transportation and commission expenses on incremental revenues.

Loss on debt extinguishment
Previous report
In September 2025, the Company entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facility to replace its prior credit agreement dated November 2021. The new facility transitions the Company from a term-loan-plus-revolver structure to a fully committed revolving facility and (i) increases total committed borrowing capacity from $150 million to $500 million, (ii) reduces borrowing costs by approximately 25 basis points, and (iii) extends the initial maturity date by five years to December 2030. Borrowings under the new facility bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) with no floor, plus a spread of 1.25%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The effective interest rate for this facility, including deferred issuance costs, is 5.67% as of September 30, 2025. In connection with the establishment of the new facility, the Company incurred total costs and fees of $2,783 which were capitalized as deferred financing costs.
Previous report
The transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,354, representing the write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the prior credit facilities and termination costs associated with closing the previous facility.

Revenues
Previous report
Operating revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $738.3 million, compared to $650.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $87.7 million or 13.5%, year over year. Strong revenues during the first half of 2025 were driven by strong activity in the U.S market, where revenues increased $79.4 million, or 12.8% year over year, to $710.3 million 2025. The increase was driven by higher residential revenues, up $33.4 million, or 12.0% year over year, resulting from strong demand momentum since late 2024. U.S. commercial market revenues increased $46.0 million, or 13.4% year over year, as we continue to execute our growing backlog. Revenues from Latin America and the Caribbean increased $8.2 million, or 28.6% year over year.

Gross profit
Previous report
Gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $323.2 million, an increase of $49.7 million, or 18.2%, from $273.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The gross profit margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased to 43.8% from 42.0% during the first nine months of 2024, primarily related to better pricing on certain residential market products, and improved operating leverage. Furthermore, a 3.8% depreciation of the Colombian Peso impacting our costs denominated in Colombian Pesos against our predominantly US Dollar revenue stream helped to partially offset the 9.5% salary increases set at the beginning of the year.
Previous report
Expenses
Previous report
Operating expenses increased $29.3 million, or 25.8%, from $113.6 million to $142.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The increase was mainly driven by recent Tariffs on imports into the U.S. which generated $13.7 million expense, administrative salary adjustments. Additionally, the nominal increase was driven by administrative salary adjustments and higher transportation and commission expenses related to higher revenues.
Previous report
Other operating income
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded other operating income of $5.6 million mainly related to a gain on the sale of an aircraft and the recognition of a refund related to Employee Retention Credits (ERC) under government relief programs. There was no comparable income recorded during the prior-year period.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded non-operating income of $2.6 and $5.2 million, respectively. Non-operating income for the period is comprised primarily of interest income from short-term investments, income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials as well as non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of influence.

Interest Expense
Previous report
Interest expense and deferred cost of financing decreased by $1.1 million, or 18.2%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $5.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the $30 million voluntary prepayment made to reduce the Company’s debt balance and the benefit from hedge accounting on the Company’s interest rate swaps during the first half of the year. Following the discontinuation of hedge accounting upon the replacement of the prior credit facility with the new revolving facility in September 2025, the related gains on the swaps were no longer offset against interest expense, resulting in a higher reported amount during the third quarter compared to the first half of the year.
Previous report
Following the discontinuation of hedge accounting for the interest rate swap contracts, changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as ongoing periodic settlements on these instruments, are now recognized directly through earnings within Derivative financial instruments gain (loss). The Company continues to apply hedge accounting to its foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge forecasted transactions, that as of September 30, 2025 has a highly effective relationship with the hedged transaction under ASC 815. The gain recognized during the quarter primarily reflects favorable mark-to-market adjustments resulting from movements in benchmark interest rates and realized gains on hedge settlements. These fair-value changes and settlements are non-recurring in nature and do not impact the Company’s underlying operating performance or cash flow from operations.
Previous report
Income Taxes
Previous report
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, of 29.8% approximates the statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of 27.6%, is below the statutory rate, as the proportion of our taxable income shifts jurisdictions resulting from new developments of our product designs, trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
Previous report
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $133.5 million and $114.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
In April 2025, Tecnoglass acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Florida-based Continental Glass Systems, LLC. (“Continental”), a premier provider of innovative architectural glass and glazing solutions in the Southeast U.S. This acquisition included a manufacturing plant, various intangibles, and a substantial project backlog in both execution and pipeline phases. With annualized revenues of approximately $30 million, Continental’s production capabilities, high-quality product portfolio, and reputation for excellence strengthens Tecnoglass’ U.S. market presence, broadens its client reach, and creates synergies that reinforce Tecnoglass’ leadership position in the architectural glass industry. Additionally, the Company anticipates operational benefits as it integrates Continental’s supply chains into its existing manufacturing operations. The purchase price for the acquisition was $10,429, of which $6,841 of the purchase price was paid in cash by the Company on April 3, 2025, with the remaining amount to be payable by the Company in cash within 365 days after closing date. The total amount of acquisition-related costs was $588, which are included in the Statement of operations for the period ending September 30, 2025.
Previous report
Additionally, we acquired $4.7 million and $5.6 million of property plant and equipment under credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

We have a strong presence in the Florida market, which represents a substantial portion of our revenue stream and backlog. Our success in Florida has primarily been achieved through sustained organic growth, with further penetration now taking place into other highly populated areas of the United States. As part of our strategy to become a fully vertically integrated company, we have supplemented our organic growth with some acquisitions that have allowed us added control over our supply chain allowed for further vertical integration of our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the United States. In 2016, we completed the acquisition of ESW, which gave us control over the distribution of products into the United States from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia. In March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest installation customer.

Operating revenues increased $22.2 million, or 9.3%, from $238.3 during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, to $260.5 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Strong revenues during the third quarter of 2025 were driven by strong activity in the U.S market, where revenues increased $18.3 million, or 8.0% year over year, to $246.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase was driven by strong growth in the US commercial market, up 12.3% or $14.6 million year over year as we continue to execute on our growing project backlog. Additionally, higher residential revenues, up $3.8 million, or 3.4% year over year, resulting from strong demand momentum during the first half of 2025. Revenues from Latin America and the Caribbean increased $3.8 million, or 37.0% year over year.

Gross profit increased $2.1 million, or 1.9%, from $109.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $111.3 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The gross profit margin during the three months ended September 30, 2025, was 42.7%, compared to 45.8% during the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher raw material costs associated with increased premiums to source US aluminum, a stronger Colombian Peso and an unfavorable revenue mix, as commercial revenues with installation services rose year over year as we execute on our growing backlog of projects with installation. Finally, a 9.5% increase in minimum wages set at the beginning of 2025, coupled with the aforementioned strengthening of the Colombian Peso, also negatively impacted gross margins year over year. The aforementioned factors were partially offset by positive pricing adjustments implemented earlier in the year.
Current wording
Gross profit during the first quarter of 2026 was $95.8 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 1.7%, from $97.5 million during the first quarter of 2025. The gross profit margin during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 38.5%, compared to 43.9% during the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher input costs associated with increasing aluminum prices, as well as higher salaries given the one-time double digit minimum wage increase put in place in Colombia at the beginning of the year. Additionally, we had an unfavorable revenue mix as commercial revenues with installation services rose year over year as we execute on our growing backlog of projects with installation. Finally, we had a stronger local currency year over year, impacting our local currency costs on a comparable basis.. The aforementioned factors were partially offset by positive pricing adjustments implemented in the second quarter of last year.

Interest expense and deferred cost of financing increased by $0.4 million, or 19.4%, to $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting the discontinuation of hedge accounting for the Company’s interest rate swap contracts upon the extinguishment of the prior credit facility and issuance of the new revolving facility, as further described above. Following this discontinuation, the periodic settlements and fair value changes of these swaps are now recognized within Derivative financial instruments gain (loss) rather than offsetting interest expense, which had resulted in a lower reported amount in the prior period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $2.7 million related to derivative financial instruments, compared to no gain or loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In connection with the replacement of our Senior Secured Credit Facility in September 2025, the Company discontinued hedge accounting for its existing interest rate swap contracts that had a highly effective relationship with the hedged transaction as of June 30,2025 under ASC 815 but due to changes in critical terms of the relationship with the new debt these instruments are not in accordance to the hedge accounting principles. These swap contracts remain outstanding and continue to be periodically settled in accordance with their original terms. Upon settlement and the extinguishment of the prior term loan, hedge accounting was discontinued, and the cumulative deferred gains or losses previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified into current-period earnings.
