• Profitability was pressured by a 77% year-over-year increase in all-in U.S. aluminum costs, Colombia’s 23% minimum-wage increase, a stronger Colombian peso, and tariffs. Adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 17.5% from 31.2%, and the company identified foreign exchange as the primary reason for reducing its outlook.
• Tecnoglass narrowed its 2026 guidance to $1.08 billion-$1.12 billion of revenue and $220 million-$230 million of adjusted EBITDA, while expecting third-quarter revenue to decline sequentially to about $280 million because $15 million-$20 million of residential orders were pulled forward before May pricing actions. Management expects pricing benefits and automation savings to increasingly offset tariff impacts, with full offset targeted for 2027.
• Second-quarter operating cash flow was limited to approximately $4.4 million by seasonal tax payments, tariff-related payments, inventory purchases, and working-capital needs.
