Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and could differ materially. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, and are of a normal, recurring nature.

The Company has one operating segment, Architectural Glass and Windows, which is also its reporting segment, comprising the design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and installation of high-specification architectural glass and window product sold to the construction industry.

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI, its subsidiaries Tecnoglass S.A.S (“TG”), C.I. Energía Solar S.A.S E.S. Windows (“ES”), ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”), Tecno RE LLC (“Tecno RE”), GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”), Componenti USA LLC (“Componenti”) and ES Metals SAS (“ES Metals”), which are entities in which we have a controlling financial interest because we hold a majority voting interest. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation, including unrealized intercompany profits and losses. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in affiliates and other joint ventures over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet are reclassified into the consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions are settled.

Impairment

We review goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment each year on December 31^st or more frequently when events or significant changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The novel coronavirus global outbreak and its associated economic impact, including a significant decrease in the market price of our ordinary shares, was considered a triggering event as of the first quarter of 2020, requiring us to reassess our goodwill and long-lived asset valuations, as well as assumptions of future income from underlying assets, and there was no new trigger in the second quarter To the extent the impact of the pandemic depends on future developments which are highly uncertain we will continue to evaluate in future periods whether these assumptions are reasonable and will update the forecasts and impairment analysis as appropriate.

Based on our analysis as of June 30, 2020 we concluded that no impairment needs to be recorded to our goodwill using the market approach as the market capitalization of our company, which has a single reporting unit, exceeds the book value of shareholders equity.

Based on our analysis as of June 30, 2020 we concluded that no impairment needs to be recorded to our long-lived assets as their carrying value are below their realizable values based on projected future cashflows estimated with assumptions deemed reasonable by management based on information currently available. The Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company’s market capitalization, and general industry, market and macro-economic conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the allowance for credit losses accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The new model is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, thereby bringing consistency in accounting treatment across different types of financial instruments and requiring consideration of a broader range of variables when forming loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, (with early application permitted). The FASB issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 during the fourth quarter of 2019 that will postpone the effective date to the year beginning after December 15, 2022. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), which amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 (SAB119) which contains interpretative guidance from the SEC aligned to the FASB’s ASC 326. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 8485): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this Update is effective for the Company on December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. – Revised Presentation of Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cashflows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 has been revised to correct errors in the classification of the impact of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in any currency other than the functional currency. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement and concluded it was not material to any previously reported quarterly or annual period financial statements.

Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which include currency translation differences on monetary items that form part of investing or financing activities, such as long-term loans, are presented as a reconciling item from net income to cashflow from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 contained herein,. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency has been and continues to be presented in a separate line item as part of the reconciliation of the change in cash equivalents during the period.

The revisions to the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as of June 30, 2019, which had no effect on the net change in cash and cash equivalents, are summarized in the following table:

Note 4. – Long-term Investments

Saint-Gobain Joint Venture

On January 11, 2019, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino Holdings S.A.S (“Vidrio Andino”), a Colombia-based subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. (“Saint-Gobain”). The purchase price for our interest in this entity was $45 million, of which $34.1 was paid in cash, and $10.9 million is to be paid with a piece of land near our existing facility in Barranquilla, which will be contributed by a related party owned by members of our Chief Executive Officer´s family with a third party valuation conducted to ensure arm´s length terms. The land will serve the purpose of developing a second float glass plant nearby our existing manufacturing facilities which we expect to carry significant efficiencies for us once it becomes operative. Vidrio Andino’s float glass plant located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, has been one of our main suppliers of raw glass. We believe this transaction will solidify our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino with a cash payment of $34.1 million, and the land still to be contributed once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relate to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of that date, the Company recorded the investment within Long-term assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet for $45.0 million and a liability for $10.9 million within current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance to be settled with the contribution of the aforementioned piece of land. Since the date of the acquisition, we have recognized the proportional share of Vidrio Andino’s net income using the equity method on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income as the Company is deemed to have significant influence, but does not have effective control of Vidrio Andino.

Establishment of a new subsidiary

In January 2019 we established E.S. Windows California, LLC., a wholly-owned U.S. entity to serve as a distributor of our products in certain jurisdictions within the U.S. markets.

In April 2019, ESMetals, a Colombian entity in which the Company has 70% equity interest began operations. ESMetals serves as a metalwork contractor to supply the Company with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy. When the company owns a majority (but less than 100%) of a subsidiary’s stock, the Company includes in its Consolidated Financial Statements the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income and, as included in Shareholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is equal to the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. In determining the fair value, we used the income approach and the market approach which was performed by third party valuation specialists under management.

Note 5. - Inventories, net

Note 6. – Revenues, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Disaggregation of Total Net Sales

The Company disaggregates its sales with customers by revenue recognition method for its only segment, as the Company believes these factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows.

The following table presents geographical information about revenues.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets represent accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts with customers that have been recorded as sales, but have not been billed to customers and are classified as current and a portion of the amounts billed on certain fixed price contracts that are withheld by the customer as a retainage until a final good receipt of the complete project to the customers satisfaction. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue, and represent amounts received in excess of sales recognized on contracts. The Company classifies advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred as current, and deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the expected timing of sales recognition. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The non-current portion of contract liabilities is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The table below presents the components of net contract assets (liabilities).

The components of contract assets are presented in the table below.

The components of contract liabilities are presented in the table below.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $370 and 1,649 of sales related to its contract liabilities on January 1, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1,759 and $4,041 of sales related to its contract liabilities on January 1, 2019, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $323.4 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of firm orders minus sales recognized from inception to date. Remaining performance obligations exclude unexercised contract options, verbal commitments, Letters of Intent or written mandates, and potential orders under basic ordering agreements. The Company expects to recognize 100% of sales relating to existing performance obligations within three years, of which $173.0 million are expected to be recognized during the year ending December 31, 2020, and $150.4 million during the year ending December 31, 2021.

Note 7. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include Miami-Dade County Notices of Acceptances (NOA’s), which are certificates issued for approved products and required to market hurricane-resistant glass in Florida. Also, it includes the intangibles acquired during the acquisition of GM&P.

The weighted average amortization period is 5.4 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the amortization expense amounted to $1,099and $1,485, respectively, and was included within the general and administration expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the amortization expense amounted to $549 and $609, respectively

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:

Note 8. Debt

The Company’s debt is comprised of the following:

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $261,874 and $259,574 of debt denominated in US Dollars with the remaining amounts denominated in Colombian Pesos.

The Company had $6,524 and $6,979 of property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral for various lines of credit as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company was obligated under various finance leases under which the aggregate present value of the minimum lease payments amounted to $372 and $493 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In line with this, the Company recorded right-of-use assets related to computing equipment for $212 and $378 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The lease agreements include terms to extend the lease, however the Company does not intend to extend its current leases. The weighted average remaining lease term approximates 2 years. The right-of-use assets are depreciated and interest expense from the lease liability are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, the Company had a commitment for $12 under operating leases related to short term apartment leases, installation equipment and computing equipment which expire during the current year that have not been capitalized due to their short-term nature. Rental expense from these leases is recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement as incurred.

Maturities of long-term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of June 30, 2020:

The Company’s loans have maturities ranging from a few weeks to 10 years. Our credit facilities bear interest at a weighted average of rate 7.07%.

Note 9. Hedging Activity and Fair Value Measurements

Hedging Activity

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we entered into several foreign currency non-delivery forward and collar contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Colombian Peso and the U.S. Dollar. Our contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted Colombian Peso denominated costs and expenses.

Guidance under the Financial Instruments Topic 825 of the Codification requires us to record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings.

As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of foreign currency collar contracts was in a net liability position of $1,379. We had 24 outstanding collar contracts to exchange 26 million U.S. Dollars to Colombian Pesos through February 2021. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was insignificant and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of June 30, 2020.

We assess the effectiveness of our foreign currency collar contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the collar contracts to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our foreign currency collar contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of losses, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next eight months, is $1,379.

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges is classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020, are as follows:

The fair value of our foreign currency hedges is classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019, are as follows:

The ending accumulated balance for the foreign currency collar contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of tax, was $938 as of June 30, 2020, comprised of a derivative loss of $1,379 and an associated net tax benefit of $441.

The following table presents the gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments, and their classifications within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three and six months ended June 2020:

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and advances from customers approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities. The Company bases its fair value estimate for long term debt obligations on its internal valuation that all debt is floating rate debt based on current interest rates in Colombia.

As of June 30, 2020, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 8 - Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted with our average cost of debt, which is based on market rates, which are level 2 inputs.

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long-term debt:

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns for TG, ES and ES Metals in the Republic of Colombia. GM&P, Componenti and ESW LLC are U.S. entities based in Florida subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The estimated combined state and federal income tax rate is estimated at a rate of 26.5% based on the recently enacted U.S. Tax Reform. Tecnoglass Inc. as well as all the other subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands do not currently have any tax obligations.

The components of income tax expense are as follows:

The weighted average statutory income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 28.0% and 33%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of 40% reflects the impact of unrealized foreign currency transaction losses related to the remeasurement of long-term liabilities of our Colombian subsidiaries which are expected to be realized at a later year in which a lower income tax rate is expected to apply.

Note 11. Related Parties

The following is a summary of assets, liabilities, and income and expense transactions with all related parties, shareholders, directors and managers:

The Company also has a note payable which matures in 2022 related to the acquisition GM&P for $8,500 due to the former owner who holds shares of the Company and a management position within the Company.

Ventana Solar S.A. (“VS”), a Panama Sociedad anónima, is an importer and installer of the Company’s products in Panama. Family members of the Company’s CEO and COO and other related parties own 100% of the equity in VS. The Company’s sales to VS for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $151 and $855, respectively.

The Company’s sales to VS for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $794 and $1,525, respectively.

Payments to other related parties during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 include the following:

Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity

Dividends

On June 23, 2020, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.0275 per share, or $0.11 per share on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2020. The quarterly dividend will be paid in cash on July 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 8, 2020.

Follow-on Equity Offering

On March 25, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,000,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $7.00 per share. As a result of this offering, the Company received a net amount of $33,050 after deducting underwriting and other related fees, which were credited to share capital and additional paid in capital. Additionally, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 ordinary shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, which option was exercised on April 3, 2019 with respect to 551,423 ordinary shares.

Proceeds from the offering were subsequently used to complete the joint venture transaction with Saint-Gobain discussed in “Note 4. Long-term Investments – Saint-Gobain Joint Venture.”

Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

The effect of dilutive securities as of June 30, 2019 includes the effect of 551,423 shares potentially issued in relation to the underwriters’ option of the follow-on equity offering described above.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding obligation to purchase an aggregate of at least $14,449 of certain raw materials from a specific supplier before May 2026.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino. The purchase price for our interest in Vidrio Andino was $45 million, of which $34.1 million was paid in cash and $10.9 million to be paid through the contribution of land to be contributed on our behalf by a related party owned by members of our Chief Executive Officer once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relate to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The joint venture agreement includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our primary manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12.5 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021 if needed (based on debt availability).

General Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the regular course of business. Some disputes are derived directly from our construction projects, related to supply and installation, and even though deemed ordinary, they may involve significant monetary damages. We are also subject to other type of litigations arising from employment practices, worker’s compensation, automobile claims and general liability. It is very difficult to predict precisely what the outcome of these litigations might be. However, with the information at our disposition as this time, there are no indications that such claims will result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

Management concluded that no additional subsequent events required disclosure other than those disclosed in these financial statements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a vertically integrated manufacturer, supplier and installer of architectural glass, windows and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction markets. With a focus on innovation, combined with providing highly specified products with the highest quality standards at competitive prices, we have developed a leadership position in each of our core markets. In the United States, which is our largest market, we were ranked as the second largest glass fabricator in 2019 by Glass Magazine. In addition, we believe we are the leading glass transformation company in Colombia. Based on our analysis of third-party industry sources we had an estimated market share of over 49% of the Colombian market in 2019. Our customers, which include developers, general contractors or installers for hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, airports, universities, hospitals and multi-family and residential buildings, look to us as a value-added partner based on our product development capabilities, our high-quality products and our unwavering commitment to exceptional service.

We have more than 30 years of experience in architectural glass and aluminum profile structure assembly, we transform a variety of glass products, including tempered safety, double thermo-acoustic and laminated glass. Our finished glass products are installed in a wide variety of buildings across a number of different applications, including floating facades, curtain walls, windows, doors, handrails, interior and bathroom spatial dividers. We also produce aluminum products such as profiles, rods, bars, plates and other hardware used in the manufacturing of windows.

Our products are manufactured in a 2.7 million square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Barranquilla, Colombia that provides easy access to North, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Our products can be found on some of the most distinctive buildings in these regions including El Dorado Airport (Bogota), 50 United Nations Plaza (New York), Trump Plaza (Panama), Icon Bay (Miami), and Salesforce Tower (San Francisco). Our track record of successfully delivering high profile projects has earned us an increasing number of opportunities across the United States, evidenced by our expanding backlog and overall revenue growth.

Our structural competitive advantage is underpinned by our low-cost manufacturing footprint, vertically integrated business model and geographic location. Our integrated facilities in Colombia and distribution and services operations in Florida provide us with a significant cost advantage in both manufacturing and distribution, and we continue to invest in these operations to expand our operational capabilities. Our lower cost manufacturing footprint allows us to offer competitive prices for our customers, while also providing innovative, high quality and high value-added products, together with consistent and reliable service. We have historically generated high margin organic growth based on our position as a value-added solutions provider for our customers.

We have a strong presence in the Florida market, which represents a substantial portion of our revenue stream and backlog. Our success in Florida has primarily been achieved through sustained organic growth, with further penetration now taking place into other highly populated areas of the United States. As part of our strategy to become a fully vertically integrated company, we have supplemented our organic growth with some acquisitions that have allowed us added control over our supply chain allowed for further vertical integration of our business and will act as a platform for our future expansion in the United States. In 2016, we completed the acquisition of ESW, which gave us control over the distribution of products into the United States from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia. In March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest installation customer.

On May 3, 2019, we consummated the joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, acquiring a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, solidifying our vertical integration strategy by acquiring an interest in the first stage of our production chain, while securing ample glass supply for our expected production needs. Additionally, in April 2019, ESMetals, a Colombian entity in which the Company has 70% equity interest began operations. ESMetals serves as a metalwork contractor to supply the Company with steel accessories used in the assembly of certain architectural systems as part of our vertical integration strategy.

The continued diversification of the group’s presence and product portfolio is a core component of our strategy. In particular, we are actively seeking to expand our presence in United States outside of Florida. We also launched a residential windows offering which, we believe, will help us expand our presence in the United States and generate additional organic growth. We believe that the quality of our products, coupled with our ability to price competitively given our structural advantages on cost, will allow us to generate further growth in the future.

On March 24, 2020, Colombia went into a mandatory lockdown as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak. As a result, the Company temporarily suspended production at its facilities in Colombia through April 13, 2020 during the initial phase of the nationwide shelter-in-place order. While the shelter-in-place order was subsequently extended to May 25, 2020, the Company resumed full operations at its facilities on April 14, 2020 given its exempted designation as a supplier of critical products to essential business sectors such as infrastructure and construction. At the same time as most of our customers in the United States and Colombia are resuming their activities. During the period that production was suspended, vacation days were used to retain eligible employees and the Company used the time to implement broad safety measures before returning to normal operations.

The Company entered the pandemic with a strong financial position along with the flexibility required to support its global operations during this volatile period. As of June 30, 2020, we had had cash of $63.4 million plus an additional $73.4 million of availability under existing lines of credit, providing sufficient access to capital. In addition, we have implemented strict cost controls, reduced operating expenses and limited all non-critical capital expenditures beyond the completion of initiatives started in 2019. We anticipate that working capital will continue to be a net benefit to cash flow for the full year 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
