Factors to Note

Strong growth in single-family residential activity and market share gains, the introduction of new products, an expanding customer base and stable housing demand have been benefiting Tecnoglass.

Tecnoglass’ second-quarter results are expected to gain from single-family residential activities and a wide array of commercial projects. Precisely, revenues from the United States, accounting for 94.5% of total revenues, have been benefiting from robust demand for the company’s products and services in the United States, given solid momentum in the U.S. single-family residential business, market share gains and attractive commercial and multifamily projects.

Tecnoglass has been expanding the single-family business via dealership expansion and geographic diversification, particularly in the high-growth Southeast U.S. region, the Gulf Coast and Texas.

Meanwhile, Tecnoglass has been reeling under industry-wide supply chain headwinds. The company has also been facing elevated costs due to automation efforts to meet product demand. A rise in variable costs related to marine and ground transportation and commissions is also expected to have been a concern.
