Company Overview

The first-ever Colombian company to trade on the NASDAQ, Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) is a manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and aluminum products.

Revenue Growth

Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Thankfully, Tecnoglass’s 19% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was incredible. Its growth beat the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss new industry trends or demand cycles. Tecnoglass’s annualized revenue growth of 13.3% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand.

This quarter, Tecnoglass reported year-on-year revenue growth of 15.6%, and its $295.3 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 11.3%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 10.7% over the next 12 months, a slight deceleration versus the last two years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is noteworthy and implies the market is baking in success for its products and services.

Operating Margin

Operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses — everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It’s also useful for comparing profitability across companies with different levels of debt and tax rates because it excludes interest and taxes.

Tecnoglass has been a well-oiled machine over the last five years. It demonstrated elite profitability for an industrials business, boasting an average operating margin of 26%. This result isn’t surprising as its high gross margin gives it a favorable starting point.

Looking at the trend in its profitability, Tecnoglass’s operating margin decreased by 7 percentage points over the last five years. This raises questions about the company’s expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability.

This quarter, Tecnoglass generated an operating margin profit margin of 12.4%, down 11.6 percentage points year on year. Since Tecnoglass’s operating margin decreased more than its gross margin, we can assume it was less efficient because expenses such as marketing, R&D, and administrative overhead increased.

Earnings Per Share

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Tecnoglass’s astounding 18.5% annual EPS growth over the last five years aligns with its revenue performance. This tells us it maintained its per-share profitability as it expanded.

Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business.

Tecnoglass’s two-year annual EPS declines of 5.5% were bad and lower than its 13.3% two-year revenue growth.

Diving into the nuances of Tecnoglass’s earnings can give us a better understanding of its performance. Tecnoglass’s operating margin has declined over the last two years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its lower earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals.

In Q2, Tecnoglass reported adjusted EPS of $0.54, down from $1.03 in the same quarter last year. Despite falling year on year, this print beat analysts’ estimates by 3.3%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Tecnoglass’s full-year EPS to stay about the same, moving from $2.95 to $2.97.

Key Takeaways from Tecnoglass’s Q2 Results

On the other hand, its full-year EBITDA guidance slightly missed. Overall, we think this was still a solid quarter with some key areas of upside. The stock traded up 1.4% to $48.40 immediately following the results.

Tecnoglass may have had a good quarter, but does that mean you should invest right now?
