Tecnoglass sees 2023 revenue $835M-$848M, consensus $854.32M

Santiago Giraldo, Chief Financial Officer of Tecnoglass, stated, “We see our business performing exceptionally well in a challenging market with share gains driving double-digit organic growth, strong Adjusted EBITDA margins and substantial cash flow year-to-date. With the positive trajectory of our business backed by a strong backlog in multi-family/commercial projects and significant white space for our residential expansion, we are moderating our full year revenue outlook based on updated visibility on the timing of project deliveries through year end. We expect 2023 revenues to grow organically to a range of $835 million to $848 million, representing approximately 17% growth at the midpoint. Combined with the impact of the unfavorable non-cash foreign currency effect on inventories during the third quarter, which is now mostly behind us, and the expectation for a higher mix of installation revenues during the rest of the year, we are modifying our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA1 to be in the range of $300 million to $308 million, representing growth of approximately 14% at the midpoint. The implied Adjusted EBITDA1 margin of approximately 36% at the midpoint assumes a full year gross margin in the range of 47% to 49%, driving strong free cash flow into year end. Our backlog of multi-family/commercial projects has accelerated and our single-family residential expansion strategy continues to gain traction, which gives us confidence that 2024 will be another year of double-digit growth at attractive margins with significant cash flow generation.”
