TPI Composites, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2022 Earnings Results – Cost Mitigation Efforts and Transition Efficiencies Drive Solid Results
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TPI Composites, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPIC), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
“We finished the first quarter ahead of our expectations driven by our ability to produce more sets than planned while also benefitting from the team’s acute focus on driving out costs,” said Bill Siwek, President and CEO of TPI Composites. “Although the broader macro environment for the wind industry remains challenging, our results for this quarter demonstrate TPI’s operational execution efficiencies and cost containment efforts.
“From an operational standpoint, we are at or ahead of our plan for 2022. Around the globe, we’ve worked closely with our customers to navigate the current challenges to meet their capacity needs and deliver on time. Transitions were a bright spot in the first quarter, especially in our China and India facilities. Strategic collaboration with ample planning has allowed for a much faster transition process.
“We had another solid quarter of growth in our service business. Our expansion in the European market is going as planned, including the opening of a new training center in Spain, the establishment of a new entity in the UK, and the signing of several significant new agreements.
“Our transportation business progressed again in the first quarter with some exciting development programs. We extended the program with the passenger EV platform for an additional quarter and added another geography on the significant program we announced in the fourth quarter of last year. We also added development agreements with multiple blue-chip OEMs in the Class 8 and “last mile delivery” segment.
“While we recognize the progress we’ve made operationally in our facilities so far in 2022, the wind industry continues to face supply chain, logistic, and cost headwinds. Our focus on executing what is in our control was on display in the first quarter as is evident by our performance. We remain keen to keep that same focus for the balance of 2022 and beyond and be ready to grow with our customers when demand begins to rebound,” concluded Mr. Siwek.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased by $19.8 million or 4.9% to $384.9 million as compared to $404.7 million in the same period in 2021. Net sales of wind blades decreased by $24.6 million or 6.5% to $354.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $379.2 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a 26% decrease in the number of wind blades produced due to a reduction in contracted manufacturing lines and transitions of existing lines along with currency fluctuations, which were partially offset by a higher average sales price due to the mix of wind blade models produced. Additionally, there was an increase in our field service, inspection and repair service sales during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to an increase in demand for such services. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro in our Turkey operations and the Chinese Renminbi in our China operations had an unfavorable impact of 2.2% on consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the 2021 period. Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $386.5 million and included $5.5 million of costs related to lines in startup and $10.1 million of costs related to lines in transition during the period. This compares to total cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of $397.4 million and included $4.6 million of costs related to lines in startup and $9.8 million of costs related to lines in transition during the period. Total cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased by approximately two percentage points during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, driven primarily by an increase in direct material costs and foreign currency fluctuations. Included in the cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is approximately $7.1 million in non-restructuring related operating costs that were associated with certain manufacturing facilities in Newton, Iowa; Dafeng, China; and Juarez, Mexico, where production has stopped. The fluctuating U.S. dollar against the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Mexican Peso had an unfavorable impact of 2.8% on consolidated cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the 2021 period.
Income taxes reflected a provision of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a benefit of $7.1 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in the provision was primarily due to the changes in the earnings mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. valuation allowance.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $29.9 million as compared to net loss of $1.8 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the reasons set forth above along with $14.1 million of preferred stock dividends and accretion. The diluted net loss per common share was $0.71 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to diluted net loss per common share of $0.05 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased to $6.1 million as compared to $13.1 million during the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 1.6% as compared to 3.2% during the same period in 2021.
Capital expenditures were $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $18.8 million during the same period in 2021. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to machinery and equipment at our new facilities and expansion and improvements to our existing facilities.
We ended the quarter with $130.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and net cash was $79.2 million as compared to net cash of $167.5 million as of December 31, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $87.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This was in-line with our plan and was primarily as a result of an increase in our operating loss, an increase in accounts receivables due to delayed payments from a customer, an increase in contract assets, which was the result of increased procurement of customer specific materials in order to minimize the risk of potential production disruptions that may occur given the recent COVID-19 impacts in China and geopolitical uncertainties, including the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war, and a decrease in accounts payables. Net cash used by financing activities increased by $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of increased repayments of outstanding borrowings.
2022 Guidance

Guidance | Full Year 2022 |
Dedicated Manufacturing Lines | 43 |
Wind Blade Set Capacity | 3,710 |
Utilization % | 80% to 85% |
Average Sales Price per Blade | $170,000 to $180,000 |

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements, among other things, concerning: growth of the wind energy and electric vehicle markets and our addressable markets for our products and services; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, effects on our financial statements and our financial outlook; our business strategy, including anticipated trends and developments in and management plans for our business and the wind industry and other markets in which we operate; our projected annual revenue growth; competition; future financial results, operating results, revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, profitability, products, projected costs, warranties, our ability to improve our operating margins, and capital expenditures. These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “goal,” “target,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “predict,” “continue” and the negative or plural of these words and other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and our projections about future events. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

Non-GAAP Definitions
This press release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including losses on the extinguishment of debt and net of interest income), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share-based compensation expense, any foreign currency income or losses, any gains or losses on the sale of assets and asset impairments and any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as the total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non-GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See Table Four for a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

May 5, 2022 Q&A
May 5, 2022 Appendix – Non - GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including losses on the extinguishment of debt and net of interest income), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share - based compensation expense, any foreign currency income or losses, any gains or losses on the sale of assets and asset impairments and any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See below for a reconciliation of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
