Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) Posts Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.03 EPS

Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) issued its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.61 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.58 by $0.03, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $310.57 million for the quarter. Tecnoglass had a return on equity of 17.84% and a net margin of 12.35%. The company’s revenue for the quarter was up 19.2% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period last year, the firm posted $1.00 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Tecnoglass’ conference call:

• Revenue and backlog reached records. Third-quarter revenue rose 19.2% year over year to $310.6 million, while backlog grew 13.2% to $1.43 billion; multifamily and commercial revenue increased 31%.
• Margins and adjusted EBITDA declined. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.7 million versus $79.1 million a year earlier, and gross margin fell to 34.1% from 42.7%, pressured by the stronger peso, higher aluminum costs, tariffs and project mix. The company revised its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to $210 million–$220 million.
• Management expects margins to recover. It cited lower aluminum costs, pricing flowing through, and automation savings, and said it plans another residential price increase of roughly 3%–15% across products. The company expects to fully offset tariff impacts in 2027, though results remain exposed to currency and aluminum-price changes.
• Growth initiatives are expanding the company’s reach. Dealer and showroom expansion, geographic diversification, and vinyl growth support management’s expectation of double-digit 2026 revenue growth; vinyl sales are projected to reach $3 million–$5 million per month in 2027.
