• Record backlog and demand momentum — backlog grew 19.1% y/y to $1.36 billion, multifamily/commercial revenues were up 20.4% y/y, and the book-to-bill remained strong at 1.3x, supporting ongoing revenue growth.
• Margins compressed — Q1 Adjusted EBITDA fell to $61.5M (24.7% margin) from $70.2M (31.6%), driven by ~48% higher aluminum costs, a ~12% Colombian peso appreciation, annual salary increases and a one-time wealth tax.
• Active tariff mitigation — following the new 10% Section 232 tariff, Tecnoglass implemented May price increases, secured ~$34M of U.S.-sourced aluminum, added FX hedges and plans efficiency actions, targeting full neutralization of tariff impact by 2027.
• Strong balance sheet and shareholder returns — liquidity of about $425M, net debt/LTM EBITDA ~0.4x, $16.5M in buybacks and $6.7M in dividends in Q1, and management reaffirmed full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
• Strategic expansion and optionality — U.S. re-domiciliation expected by mid‑June, continuing vinyl and showroom rollouts, and a potential U.S. facility (land purchase of ~$20–25M) that could increase capacity but carries execution and funding timing risks.
