The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $208.9 million, which calls for 23.5% growth from the prior year’s reported figure.

Factors to Note

Tecnoglass’ second-quarter results are expected to have benefited from continued growth for its products, solid strategic execution and leverage from its vertically integrated business model. The introduction of new products, an expanding customer base and the ongoing ramp-up of the company’s commercial activities are likely to have contributed to the growth.

The company expects second-quarter revenues to grow year over year on the back of record invoicing in March and April. March represented the highest revenue month in the company’s history.

This second-largest glass fabricator in the U.S. has been expanding its single-family business via dealership expansion and geographic diversification. This is likely to have contributed to the top-line growth in the yet-to-be-reported quarter.

Tecnoglass’ bottom lines are likely to have gained from strong operating leverage on higher sales, pricing dynamics and operating efficiencies.

However, it has been witnessing a rise in variable costs related to marine and ground transportation and commissions are expected to have put pressure on margins.

The company anticipates cash flow from operations to trend down in the second quarter due to the timing of tax payments in the U.S. and Colombia.
