Note 1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

TPI Composites, Inc. is the holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). The Company was founded in 1968 and has been producing composite wind blades since 2001. The Company’s knowledge and experience of composite materials and manufacturing originates with its predecessor company, Tillotson Pearson Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance sail and powerboats along with a wide range of composite structures used in other industrial applications. Following the separation from the boat building business in 2004, the Company reorganized in Delaware as LCSI Holding, Inc. and then changed its corporate name to TPI Composites, Inc. in 2008. Today, theThe Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and has expanded its global footprint to include domestic facilities in Newton, Iowa; Fall River, Massachusetts; Warren, Rhode Island and Santa Teresa, New Mexico and international facilities in Dafeng, China; Taicang Port, China; Taicang City, China; Yangzhou, China; Juárez, Mexico; Matamoros, Mexico; Izmir, TurkeyTurkey; Kolding, Denmark and Kolding, Denmark.Chennai, India.

Public OfferingsReferences to TPI Composites, Inc, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in these notes refer to TPI Composites, Inc. and Stock Split

In July 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) of 7,187,500 shares of the its common stock at a price of $11.00 per share, which included 937,500 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Certain of the Company’s existing shareholders, a non-employee director and executive officers purchased an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the IPO included in the total issuance above. The net proceeds from the IPO were $67.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, all shares of the then-outstanding redeemable preferred shares converted into an aggregate of 21,110,204 shares of common stock and the redeemable preferred share warrants converted on a net issuance basis into 120,923 shares of common stock. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the IPO, certain subordinated convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal and interest amount of $11.9 million were converted into 1,079,749 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $11.00 per share.

Prior to the IPO, in July 2016 the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 360-for-1 forward stock split of its common stock. As a result of the stock split, the Company has adjusted the share amounts authorized and issuable under the share-based compensation plans. All share and per share common stock information (including the share-based compensation plans) referenced throughout the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split. The stock split did not cause an adjustment to the par value of the authorized shares of common stock.

In May 2017, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 5,075,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.35 per share, which included 575,000 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. All of the shares were sold by existing shareholders and certain of the Company’s executive officers. The selling shareholders received all of the net proceeds of $78.8 million from the secondary public offering. The Company did not sell any shares and did not receive any of the proceeds from the offering and the costs paid by the Company in connection with the offering of $0.8 million were recorded in general and administrative costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.  subsidiaries.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Revenue from Contracts

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established Topic 842, Leases, by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to recognize a right of use (ROU) asset and related lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with Customersa term longer than 12 months. Leases are to be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and Note 2, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All amountsclassification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, we have not provided financial information and the disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflectrequired under the new standard for periods before January 1, 2019.  

The adoption of Topic 606this standard had a material effect on our financial statements, the most significant of which related to the recognition of ROU assets and differ from amounts previously reportedlease liabilities on our balance sheet for prior periods. our real estate, equipment and auto operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

We elected the package of practical expedients, which allowed us to retain conclusions related to lease identification and classification under legacy GAAP. The new standard also provided practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Accordingly, for those leases that qualified, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

See Note 13,8, Adjustments to Previously Reported Financial Statements from the Adoption of an Accounting PronouncementLeases, for further discussion of the adoption of Topic 606, includingthis standard.

Income Taxes

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Act. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on our previously reportedcondensed consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees.  We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which contains amendments that affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification, including amendment to Subtopic 718-40, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, that clarifies the timing of when an entity should recognize excess tax benefits.

Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is generated from long-term contracts associated with manufacturing of wind blades and related services.  The Company accountsWe account for a long-term contract when it has the approval from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of consideration is probable.

To determine the proper revenue recognition method for each long-term contract, the Company evaluateswe evaluate whether the original contract should be accounted for as one or more performance obligations. This evaluation requires judgment and the decisions reached could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period. As most of the Company’sour contracts contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocateswe allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company’sOur manufacturing services are customer specific and involve production of items that cannot be sold to other customers due to the customers’ protected intellectual property; therefore, the Company allocateswe allocate the total transaction price under our contracts with multiple performance obligations using the contractually stated prices, as these prices represent the relative standalone selling price based on an expected cost plus margin model.  

Revenue is primarily recognized over time as the Company haswe have an enforceable right to payment upon termination and the Companywe may not use or sell the product to fulfill other customers’ contracts.  In addition, the customer does not have return or refund rights for items produced that conform to the specifications included in the contract. Because control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards the completion of the performance obligation. The Company usesWe use the cost-to-cost input measure of progress for itsour contracts as this method provides the best representation of the production progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation as the materials are distinct to the product being manufactured because of customer specifications provided

TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for in the contract, the costs incurred are proportional to the progress towards completion of the product, and the products do not involve significant pre-fabricated component parts. Under the cost-to-cost method, progress and the related revenue recognition is determined by a ratio of direct costs incurred to date in fulfillment of the contract to the total estimated direct costs required to complete the performance obligation.

Determining the revenue to be recognized for services performed under the Company’sour manufacturing contracts involves significant judgments and estimates relating to the total consideration to be received and the expected total costs to complete the performance obligation.  The judgments and estimates relating to the total consideration to be received include the amount of variable consideration as the Company’sour contracts typically provide the customer with a range of production output options from guaranteed minimum volume obligations to the production capacity of the facility, and customers will provide periodic non-cancellable commitments for the number of wind blades to be produced over the term of the agreement.  The Company usesWe use historical experience, customer commitments and forecasted future production based on the capacity of the plant to estimate the total revenue to be received to complete the performance obligation.  In

12


TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

addition, the amount of revenue per unit produced may vary based on the costs of production of the wind blades as the Companywe may be able to change the price per unit based on changes in the cost of production.  Further, some of our contracts provide opportunities for the Companyus to share in labor and material cost savings as well as absorb some additional costs as an incentive for more efficient production, both of which impact the margin realized on the contract and ultimately the total amount of revenue to be recognized.  Additionally, certain of our customer contracts provide for concessions by the Companyus for missed production deadlines.  

The Company estimatesWe estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expectswe expect to be entitled. The Company includesWe include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’sOur estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’sour anticipated performance and all information available to the Companyus at the time of the estimate and may materially change as additional information becomes known.

ContractsOur contracts may be modified to account for changes in specifications of products and changing requirements. If the contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, they are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. If contract modifications are for goods and services that are distinct from the existing contract and increases the amount of consideration reflecting the standalone sale price of the additional goods or services, then the contract modification is accounted for as a separate contract and is evaluated for one or more performance obligations.  

Each reporting period, the Company evaluateswe evaluate the progress towards satisfaction of each performance obligation based on any contract modifications that have occurred, cost incurred to date, and an estimate of the expected future revenue and costs to be incurred to complete the performance obligation. Based on this analysis, any changes in estimates of revenue, cost of sales, contract assets and liabilities and the related impact to operating income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation'sthe percentage of completion.completion of the performance obligation.

Wind blade pricing is based on annual commitments of volume as established in the customer’s contractour customer contracts and orders less than committed volume may result in a higher price per wind blade to our customers. Orders in excess of annual commitments may result in discounts to our customers from the contracted price for the committed volume. CustomersOur customers typically provide periodic purchase orders with the price per wind blade given the current cost of the bill of materials, labor requirements and volume desired.  The Company recordsWe record an allowance for expected utilization of early payment discounts which are reported as a reduction of the related revenue.

Precision molding and assembly systems included in a customer’s contract are based upon the specific engineering requirements and design determined by the customer and are specific to the wind blade design and function desired. From the customer’s engineering specifications, a job cost estimate is developed along with a production plan, and the desired margin is applied based on the location the work is to be performed and complexity of the customer’s design. Precision molding and assembly systems are generally built to produce wind blades which may be manufactured by the Companyus in production runs specified in the customer contract.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’sour rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on manufacturing services contracts.  The contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional, which generally occurs when customers are invoiced upon the determination that a product conforms to the contract specifications and invoices are due based on each customerscustomer’s negotiated payment terms, which range from 3015 to 6590 days.  The Company appliesWe apply the

TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

practical expedient that allows itus to exclude payment terms under one year from the transfer of a promised good or service from consideration of a significant financing component in its contracts. With regards to the production of precision molding and assembly systems, the Company’sour contracts generally call for progress payments to be made in advance of production. Generally, payment is made at certain percentage of completion milestones with the final payment due upon delivery to the manufacturing facility. These progress payments are recorded within contract liabilities as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reduced as the Company recordswe record revenue over time. We evaluate indications that a customer may not be able to meet the obligations under our long-term supply agreements to determine if an account receivable or contract asset may be impaired.

The Company’sOur customers may request, in situations where they do not have space available to receive products or do not want to take possession of products immediately for other reasons, that their finished products be stored by the Companyus in one of itsour facilities. Most of our contracts provide for a limited number of wind blades to be stored during the period of the contract with any additional wind blades stored subject to additional storage fees, which are included in the wind blade performance obligation revenue.  

13


TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenue related to non-recurring engineering and freight services provided under our customer contracts is recognized at a point in time following the transfer of control of the promised services to the customer. Customers usually pay the carrier directly for the cost of shipping associated with items produced.  When the Company payswe pay the shipping costs, the Company applieswe apply the practical expedient that allows itus to account for shipping and handling as a fulfillment costs and include the revenue in the associated performance obligation and the costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions, that are collected by the Companyus from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Warranty Expense

The Company providesWe provide a limited warranty for its moldour wind blades and wind blade products,related precision molding and assembly systems, including partsmaterials and labor,workmanship, with terms and conditions that vary depending on the product sold, generally for periods that range from two to five years. We also provide a limited warranty for our transportation products, including materials and workmanship, with terms and conditions that vary depending on the product sold, generally for a period of approximately two years. Warranty expense is recorded based upon estimates of future repairs using a probability-based methodology that considers previous warranty claims, identified quality issues and industry practices. Once the warranty period has expired, any remaining unused warranty accrual for the specific products is reversed against the current year warranty expense amount.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs and current maturities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Variable payments are not included in ROU assets or lease liabilities and can vary from period to period based on asset usage or our proportionate share of common costs. The implicit rate within our leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on third-party lender quotes to obtain secured debt in a like currency for a similar asset over a timeframe similar to the term of the lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments made and any initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets.

Restructuring Charges

Our restructuring charges consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits and ongoing benefits related to the reduction of our workforce and other costs associated with exit activities, which may include costs related to leased facilities to be abandoned and facility and employee relocation costs. Liabilities for costs associated with a restructuring activity are measured at fair value and

14

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

are recognized when the liability is incurred, except for one-time termination benefits. One-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Ongoing benefits are expensed when restructuring activities are probable and the benefit amounts are estimable.

Treasury Stock

Common stock purchased for treasury is recorded at historical cost. Transactions in treasury shares relate to share-based compensation plans and are recorded at weighted-average cost.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Calculation

The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. The table below reflects the calculation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method, used in computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

Financial Instruments

The Company usesInterest Rate Swap

We use interest rate swap contracts to mitigate itsour exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its newour credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) that the Companywe entered into in April 2018. The Company doesWe do not use such swap contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

To offset the variability of future interest payments on the Credit Agreement arising from changes in LIBOR rates,the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), in April 2018, the Companywe entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial institution for a notional amount of $75.0 million with an expiration date of April 2023. This agreementinterest rate swap effectively hedges $75.0 million of the $75.4 million of the future variable rate LIBOR interest expense to a fixed rate interest expense. The derivative instrument qualified for accounting as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the Companywe designated it as such.

 

The settlement value of the interest rate swap is $0.2$2.9 million as of June 30, 20182019 and is included in other noncurrent assetsliabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The unrealized gainloss on the swap of $0.2$2.3 million, net of tax, is included in the condensed consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss). The settlement value of the interest rate swap was $0.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and was included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606, which provides new recognition and disclosure requirements for revenue from contracts with customers that supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance. The new recognition requirements focus on when the customer obtains control of the goods or services, rather than the current risks and rewards model of recognition. The core

9


TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

principle of the new standard is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to be entitled to for those goods or services. The new disclosure requirements included in these financial statements contain information intended to communicate the nature, amount, timing and any uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from the applicable contracts, including any significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

The Company adopted Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 with retrospective application to January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017.  See Note 2, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Note 13, Adjustments to Previously Reported Financial Statements from the Adoption of an Accounting Pronouncement, for further discussion of the adoption of this standard, including the impact on our previously reported financial statements.

Cash Flow Presentation

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, that clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, that requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with the amount of cash and cash equivalents that are reconciled on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2018 with retrospective application to each period presented.

Income Taxes

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides relief for companies that have not completed their accounting for the effects of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) but can determine a reasonable estimate of those effects to allow them to include a provisional amount based on their reasonable estimate in their financial statements. The guidance in SAB 118 also allows companies to adjust the provisional amounts during a one-year “measurement period” which is similar to the measurement period used when accounting for business combinations. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has not completed its accounting for all the tax effects associated with the enactment of the Tax Reform Act. However, the Company has, in certain cases made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing carryforward attributes and the one-time transition tax. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is a comprehensive new recognition model for leases requiring a lessee to recognize the asset and liability that arise from leases. For public companies, the amendment is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 16, 2018. Entities may elect to early adopt the lease standard in 2016. In adopting ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and has not yet selected a transition method nor determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In addition, most of the Company’sour net sales are made directly to the itsour customers, primarily large multi-national wind turbine manufacturers, under our long-term contracts which are typically five years in length.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting fromthe amount of revenue recognized over time for productsperformance obligations in production and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billedwhere control has transferred to the customer.customer but the contract does not yet allow for the customer to be billed.  Typically, customers are billed when the product finishes production and meets the technical specifications contained in the contract. The contract assets are recorded as current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of costs incurred.revenue earned. These amounts were historically recorded as customer deposits which primarily relatedusually relate to progress payments received as precision molding and assembly systems were being manufactured. The contract liabilities are recorded as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reduced as the Company recordswe record revenue over time.  

 

11These contract assets and liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period, as demonstrated in the table below.

Contracts assets increased by $25.8$40.6 million from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 due to incremental unbilled production induring the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019. Contracts liabilities decreased by $0.9$4.5 million from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 due to the amounts billed to customers exceededexceeding the progress billings receivedrevenue earned related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades being produced in the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019.

 

The time it takes to produce a single blade is typically between 245 to 36 hours.7 days. The time it takes to produce a mold is typically between 3 to 6 months.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized no revenue, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company2019 we recognized revenue$7.1 million of $0.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively,revenue, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

 

Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations represent the estimated transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes any unexercised contract options.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $4.9 billion. We estimate that we will recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows: 16 percent in the remainder of 2019, 31 percent in 2020, 25 percent in 2021, 16 percent in 2022 and the remaining 12 percent in 2023.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods increased by $0.9$2.2 million and decreased by $12.5 million, respectively, as compared to an increase of $0.9 million and a decrease of $4.0 million, respectively. Thisrespectively, in the same periods of 2018. The current year decrease primarily relatesrelated to changes in certain of the Company’sour estimated total contract values and related percentage of completion estimates.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was  approximately $5.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows: 10 percent in the remainder of 2018, 24 percent in 2019, 25 percent in 2020, 17 percent in 2021, 14 percent in 2022 and the remaining 10 percent in 2023.

Pre-Production Investments

The Company recognizesWe recognize an asset from thefor deferred costs incurred to fulfill a contract when those costs meet all of the following criteria:  (a) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Companywe can specifically identify; (b) the costs generate or enhance our resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and, (c) the costs are expected to be recovered. The Company capitalizesWe capitalize the costs related to training itsour workforce to execute the manufacturing services and other facility set-up costs related to preparing for production.  The Company factorsproduction of a specific contract.  We factor these costs into itsour estimated cost analysis for the overall contract.  Costs capitalized are amortized over the number of units produced during the contract term. As of June 30, 2019, the cost and accumulated amortization of such assets totaled $7.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the cost and accumulated amortization of such assets totaled $2.9$5.6 million and $1.7$2.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017,These amounts are included in other noncurrent assets in the costcondensed consolidated balance sheets and accumulated amortization of such assets totaled $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.  These costs are included in cost of goods sold.sold within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 3. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’sOur revenues and receivables are earned from a small number of customers. As such, the Company’scustomers and consequently, our production levels are dependent on these customers’ orders. See Note 11,12, Concentration of Customers.Customers. In April 2019, one of our customers, Senvion GmbH (Senvion), entered into a provisional self-administration procedure as ordered by the Local Court of Hamburg, Germany pursuant to the Insolvency Act in Germany. As a result of this event, we reevaluated the outstanding accounts receivables due from Senvion, the revenue recognized under our contract with Senvion, as well as the property, plant and equipment at our Taicang Port, China facility where we manufactured blades for Senvion. As a result of that reevaluation, we revised our estimate of consideration to be received under the contract, which reduced the revenues recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $6.7 million. We also revised the useful life of property, plant and equipment which was being used to fulfill the Senvion contract and which does not have an alternative use. The revision of the useful life for these assets resulted in the acceleration of $1.9 million of depreciation expense which was recorded in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Based upon the information known as of June 30, 2019, on that date we maintained outstanding accounts receivable due from Senvion totaling $10.7 million. These amounts, which we believe are realizable based on the facts known to us as of June 30, 2019, relate to completed blades we have delivered or expect to deliver.  See Note 14, Subsequent Event.

In February 2019, our manufacturing production employees in Matamoros, Mexico, who are represented by a labor union, went on strike demanding an increase in their hourly wage rate and the payment of an annual bonus, even though our collective bargaining agreement does not provide for such incentives. During this work stoppage, production was halted at our Matamoros manufacturing facility from February 15, 2019 until March 2, 2019. Although we ultimately resolved the matter in early March 2019, this disruption, along with the loss of nearly 50% of the workforce in Matamoros because of actions taken during the strike and a resulting slower than planned start up in 2018, had a significant impact on production during the first quarter of 2019. Given the heavy demand for wind blades in the U.S. market in 2019, our liquidated damages provisions with our customers are quite stringent.  As a result, in addition to the impact of the lost production, we have reduced the total consideration expected to be received under a customer contract for the estimated liquidated damages expected to be incurred, in accordance with the terms of the agreement based on missed production commitments, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by $6.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

The Company maintains itsWe have experienced construction and startup delays with respect to our new manufacturing facility in Yangzhou, China.  These delays resulted in us incurring estimated liquidated damages of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.  We expect these delays may result in us incurring additional liquidated damages during the balance of 2019 and will adversely impact our results of operations for the balance of 2019.

We also have experienced extended startup delays and challenges with respect to our Newton, Iowa transportation facility, which had an adverse impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  We expect that these delays and challenges also will have an adverse impact on our results of operations for the balance of 2019.

We maintain our U.S. cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, exceed U.S. federally insured limits. U.S. bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in an amount up to $250,000 during 20182019 and 2017.2018. At June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, the Company2018, we had $81.0$40.2 million and $98.9$53.7 million, respectively, of cash in deposit accounts in high quality U.S. banks, which was in excess of FDIC limits. The Company hasWe have not experienced losses in any such accounts.

The Company hasMexico, $0.7 million in Denmark and $0.3 million in India. We have not experienced losses in these accounts. In addition, at June 30, 2018, the Company has2019, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts of $4.4$2.1 million in China, which are reported as restricted cash in the Company’sour condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4. Related-Party Transactions

Related party transactions include transactions between the Company and certain of its affiliates. The following transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

The Company has entered into several agreements with subsidiaries of General Electric Company and its consolidated affiliates (GE) relating to the operation of its business. As a result of these agreements, GE has been a debtor, creditor and holder of both preferred and common shares. During the second quarter of 2017, GE reduced its holdings of the Company’s common shares to less than five percent of the total shares then outstanding and completely divested of the Company’s common shares during the third quarter of 2017.

The Company has entered into five separate supply agreements with GE to manufacture wind blades in Newton, Iowa; Taicang Port, China; Juárez, Mexico (2) and Izmir, Turkey. The supply agreements in Taicang Port, China and Izmir, Turkey expired on December 31, 2017 and GE did not renew or extend these two contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded related-party sales with GE of $198.6 million. As disclosed in Note 11, Concentration of Customers, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded sales with GE of $75.0 million and $107.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded sales with GE of $162.8 million and $198.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivables related to sales to GE of $22.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively.

Certain of the Company’s existing stockholders, consisting of entities associated with Element Partners, Angeleno Group and Landmark Partners, each of which is an affiliate of a member of the board of directors, as well as certain executive officers and a director, purchased an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the IPO. In addition, all outstanding obligations and accrued interest under the Company’s subordinated convertible promissory notes held by certain existing stockholders, including Element Partners, Angeleno Group and Landmark Partners, were converted into an aggregate of 1,079,749 shares of common stock concurrent with the closing of the IPO at the public offering price of $11.00 per share.  

In connection with the Company’s secondary offering in May 2017, certain entities associated with Element Partners, Angeleno Group, Landmark Partners and NGP Energy Technology Partners, L.P, as well as certain executive officers of the Company sold an aggregate of 5,075,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $16.35 per share.

TPI COMPOSITES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In April 2018, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with four lenders consisting of a multi-currency, revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, including a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company drew down $75.4 million on the revolving credit facility in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to pay all outstanding amounts due and payable under the Company’s senior secured credit facility, various fees and expenses and related accrued interest. All borrowings and amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature in April 2023.

Interest accrues at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus an initial margin of 1.5% (3.56% as of June 30, 2018), which may vary based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest is paid monthly and the Company is not obligated to make any principal repayments prior to the maturity date so long as the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement. The Company may prepay borrowings without penalty under the Credit Agreement.

In April 2018, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to fix a notional amount of $75.0 million under the Credit Agreement at an effective interest rate of 4.19% for a period of five years.

15As of June 30, 2019, the unamortized cost of the outstanding RSUs and PSUs was $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, which we expect to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial statements over weighted-average periods of approximately 2.1 years and 2.5 years, respectively. Additionally, the total unrecognized cost related to non-vested stock option awards was $2.0 million, which we expect to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial statements over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years. Share-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes a reversal of expense related to the probability that certain PSUs will not fully vest.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable leases as of June 30, 20182019 were higher than for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to earnings mix by jurisdiction. The Company continues to maintain a full U.S. valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Management will continue to reevaluate the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The Company expects to continue to record a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets until the Company sustains an appropriate level of taxable income through an increase in overall pre-tax income to be recognized in the U.S. and the finalization of its analysis of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) impact as discussed below.follows:

In December 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Reform Act, which significantly revised U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering the statutory federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, eliminating certain deductions, imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax, introducing new tax regimes, and changing how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax. The Tax Reform Act also includes many new provisions, such as changes to bonus depreciation, changes to deductions for executive compensation, interest expense limitations, net operating loss deduction limitations, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by foreign corporate subsidiaries, a base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) and a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). Many of these provisions, including the tax on GILTI, the BEAT, and the deduction for FDII, became applicable to the Company at the beginning of 2018, and the Company continues to evaluate the impact of such provisions of the Tax Reform Act.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three andmonths ended June 30, 2019 were lower than for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the earning mix by jurisdiction in 2019 as compared to 2018. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were lower than for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the net operating loss carryforwards, foreignbenefit generated in 2019 as compared to a provision in 2018. Our annualized effective tax credits andrate for 2019 is expected to be higher than in 2018 due to losses not benefitted in jurisdictions where a full valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. The Company willis recorded.

We also continue to refine its calculations, which may result in changes to the expected impact for 2018. The Company continues to not record a deferred tax liability related to unremitted foreign earnings as it maintains itswe maintain our assertion to permanentlyindefinitely reinvest itsour unremitted foreign earnings. 

An ownership change under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code was deemed to occur in June 2018. In general, a Section 382 and 383 ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative change in the Company’sour ownership by “5% shareholders” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Since no deferred tax assets have been recognized on the Company’s balance sheet related to our NOLs and tax credits, as they are fully reserved by a valuation allowance, there was no impact to the tax provision. Based on the analysis performed, however, the Company doeswe do not believe that the Section 382 and 383 annual limitation will materially impact itsour ability to utilize the tax attributes that existed as of the date of the ownership. Additional ownership changes in the future could result in additional limitations on the Company’sour net operating loss carryforwards and credits.

No other changes in tax law since December 31, 2017occurred during the quarter which have had a material impact on the Company’sour income tax provision.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 10. Restructuring Charges

In May 2019, we announced plans to consolidate certain of our manufacturing facilities, including our plan to shut down the two blade lines operating in our Taicang Port facility and move our tooling operation from Taicang City to the larger Taicang Port facility, thereby expanding our tooling capacity for larger blades and reducing overall costs. We expect to substantially complete these plans by the end of 2019.  

In accordance with these plans, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred total charges of $3.9 million, which included $3.3 million of severance benefits to terminated employees and $0.6 million of other charges, primarily related to exit costs. These charges are located within the caption “Restructuring charges” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to incur additional charges under these plans of approximately $0.5 million throughout the remainder of 2019.

 

Note 10.11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations.

In March 2015, a complaint was filed against the Companyus in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona (Maricopa County) by a former employee, alleging that the Companywe had agreed to make certain cash payments to suchcompensate the employee upon any future sale or initial public offering of the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in April 2015, which was denied. The Company subsequently filed an answer to the complaint in July 2015 denying the substantive allegationsUpon completion of the complaint. The parties completed court-ordered mediation in December 2015 but were not able to reach a settlement. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint in April 2016 andJune 2019 trial, the court denied the motionruled as a matter of law in August 2016. The court has postponed the trial date from August 2018 until June 2019. The Company continues to deny the substantive allegations of the complaint and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit; however, the Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this case.

In August 2015, the Company entered into a transition agreement with its former Senior Vice President – Asia, pursuant to which that individual transitioned out of this role at the end of 2015 and was to serve in a consulting capacity in 2016 and 2017. In January 2016, following the Company’s discovery that the individual had materially violated the terms of the transition agreement, the Company terminated the consultancy for cause. In April 2016, an arbitration claim was filed in China by the individual with the Taicang Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee alleging that the Company improperly terminated the transition agreement. The individual is demanding that the Company honor the terms of the transition agreement and pay compensation and fees under the transition agreement, which in the aggregate totals approximately $2.6 million. In addition, the individual is also challenging the validity of the Company’s termination of an option to purchase 164,880 shares of the Company’s common stock and 77,760 restricted stock units under the 2015 Plan, which were canceled in January 2016 when the consultancy was terminated. The Taicang Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee awarded damages to the individual of approximately $1.2 million but rejected the claims regarding the termination of the stock option and restricted stock unit awards.  The Company subsequently appealed the arbitration award inour favor of the individual to the Taicang Municipal People’s Court, which affirmed the arbitration award in June 2018.  The Company has appealed this judgment to an appellate level court in the Jiangsu Province and the appeal remains pending. The Company previously established a reserve for these matters and does not believe the award, if upheld on appeal, will have a material impact on its operating results or financial condition.

In June 2018, Iowa OSHA, a division of the Iowa Department of Labor, issued a citation and notification of penalty to the Company alleging that certain of the Company’s workplace practicesclaims against us and conditions at its Newton, Iowa wind blade manufacturing facility had violated the Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Act.  Specifically,jury reached a verdict in our favor on the citation cited the Company for multiple alleged violations and proposed that the Company pay an aggregate penalty of approximately $0.2 million.  In June 2018, the Company notified Iowa OSHA that it was contesting allremainder of the alleged violations and proposed penalties.  In June 2018, the Labor Commissionerclaims against us. As a result of the Iowa Department of Labor subsequently filed a complaint with the State of Iowa Employment Appeal Board, petitioning the Appeal Board

From time to time, the Company iswe are party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, the Companywe may incur charges in excess of presently established reserves. Managementreserves or our insurance policy limits. Our management does not believe that any such charges would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The primary effects of the adoption of Topic 606 on the Company’s balance sheet include 1) amounts being recognized as revenue for work performed as production takes place over time as contract assets, which differs from the prior practice of including the balances in inventory; 2) no longer reporting inventory held for customer orders or deferred revenue since revenue is now being recognized over the course of the production process, and before the product is delivered to the customer; 3) that contract liabilities are reported for amounts collected from customers in advance of the production of products, similar to our prior practice of recording customer deposits; and 4) the cumulative amount of the effect to prior periods’ net income related to the adoption of Topic 606 through December 31, 2017 is reflected in retained earnings.

The primary effects of the adoption of Topic 606 on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows include 1) the establishment of contract assets and liabilities; 2) the reduction of inventory and elimination of inventory held for customer orders; and 3) the elimination of deferred revenue. For more details on these items, see the disclosure related to the effect of the adoption of Topic 606 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.  14. Subsequent Event

 

As partnoted in Note 3, Significant Risks and Uncertainties, as a result of Senvion entering into a provisional self-administration procedure as ordered by the Local Court of Hamburg, Germany pursuant to the Insolvency Act in Germany, we reduced recognized revenues and the corresponding accounts receivable to the best estimate of remaining consideration to be received under the contract. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, concurrent with the termination of our adoptionprevious contract with Senvion, we entered into a new agreement directly with the wind farm operator of Topic 606, the Company has electedproject to usewhom Senvion was supplying the following practical expedients:

-

for completed contracts that have variable consideration, the Company used the transaction price at the date on which the contract was completed, rather than estimating amounts for variable consideration in each comparative reporting period.

Noteswind blades we had manufactured. Under this agreement signed in July 2019, the wind farm operator agreed to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

-

for modified contracts, the Company did not separately evaluate the effects of the contract modifications before the beginning of the earliest period presented. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all of the modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented in determining the transaction price, identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, and allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.

-

for all periods presented before the date of initial application, the Company did not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, nor an explanation of when they expect to recognize that amount as revenue.

The impactpurchase from us the undelivered wind blades and pay us for the remaining accounts receivable unpaid by Senvion, totaling approximately 90% of applying the above practical expedients may change the period of revenue recognition$16.2 million gross amounts invoiced and invoiceable, but not yet collected. We received $6.2 million in cash in July 2019, with the totalremaining amount to be recognized under the contract; therefore, the Company believes applicationcollected upon final delivery of the practical expedients is not material to the comparabilityremaining wind blades via an irrevocable letter of the information presented above and the accounting and financial reporting related to the adoption of Topic 606.  credit.

 

 

 


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”)(Form 10-Q). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to plans and strategy for our business, and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly those under “Risk Factors.”

OVERVIEW

Our Company

We are the largest and only independent manufacturer of composite wind blades for the wind energy market with a global manufacturing footprint. We enable many of the industry’s leading wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEM), who have historically relied on in-house production, to outsource the manufacturing of some of their wind blades through our global footprint of advanced manufacturing facilities strategically located to serve large and growing wind markets in a cost-effective manner. Given the importance of wind energy capture, turbine reliability and cost to power producers, the size, quality and performance of wind blades have become highly strategic to our OEM customers. As a result, we have become a key supplier to our OEM customers in the manufacture of wind blades and related precision molding and assembly systems. We have entered into long-term supply agreements pursuant to which we dedicate capacity at our facilities to our customers in exchange for their commitment to purchase minimum annual volumes of wind blade sets, which consist of three wind blades. As of August 7, 2018,2019, our long-term wind and transportation supply agreements provide for minimum aggregate volume commitments from our customers of approximately $4.5$3.5 billion and encourage our customers to purchase additional volume up to, in the aggregate, a total contract value of approximately $6.4$6.2 billion through the end of 2023. This collaborative dedicated supplier model provides us with contracted volumes that generate significant revenue visibility, drive capital efficiency and allow us to produce wind blades at a lower total delivered cost, while ensuring critical dedicated capacity for our customers. Our wind blade and precision molding and assembly systems manufacturing businesses accounted for approximately 95% of our total net sales for each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately 96% of our total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 96% and 97%each of our total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. We also leverage our advanced composite technology and history of innovation to supply high strength, lightweight and durable composite products to the transportation market.  

We divide our business operations into four geographic operating segments—segments - (1) the United States (U.S.), (2) Asia, (3) Mexico and (4) Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Africa (EMEA)India (EMEAI) as follows:

Our U.S. segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades at our Newton, Iowa plant, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems used for theto manufacture of wind blades at our Warren, Rhode Island facility, (3) the manufacturing of composite solutions for the transportation industry, which we also conduct at our existing Rhode Island andfacility as well as at our Fall River, Massachusetts facilitiesfacility and at a newsecond manufacturing facility in Newton, Iowa, which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2018, (4) wind blade inspection and repair services in North America, (5) our advanced engineering center in Kolding, Denmark, which provides technical and engineering resources to our manufacturing facilities and (6) our corporate headquarters, the costs of which are included in general and administrative expenses.

Our Asia segment includes (1) the manufacturing of wind blades at our facilityfacilities in Taicang Port, China; Dafeng, China and at our two facilitiesYangzhou, China, the latter of which commenced operations in Dafeng, China,March 2019, (2) the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems at our Taicang City, China facility and (3) wind blade inspection and repair services.

Our Mexico segment manufactures wind blades from three facilities in Juárez, Mexico and a facility in Matamoros, Mexico at which we commenced operations in July 2018. In MarchNovember 2018, we entered into a new lease agreement with a third party related to the lease offor a new precision molding and assembly systems manufacturing facility in the Yangzhou Economic & Technical Development Zone in Yangzhou, ChinaJuárez, Mexico and we expect to commencecommenced operations at this facility in earlyMarch 2019. This segment also performs wind blade inspection and repair services.

Our MexicoEMEAI segment manufactures wind blades from our threetwo facilities in Juárez, Mexico, the most recent of which commenced operations in January 2017.Izmir, Turkey and also performs wind blade inspection and repair services. In April 2017,February 2019, we entered into a new lease agreement with a third party for a new manufacturing facility that will be built in Matamoros, MexicoChennai, India and we commencedexpect to commence operations at this facility in the third quarterfirst half of 2018. This segment also performs wind blade inspection and repair services.

Our EMEA segment manufactures wind blades from our two facilities in Izmir, Turkey and also performs wind blade inspection and repair services.2020.


KEY TRENDS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS

The trendWe expect that the number of wind turbine OEMs outsourcingmanufacturing lines in transition and start up will increase during the year ending December 30, 2020 and this increase will have an adverse impact on our profitability and results of operations for such periods.

In February 2019, our manufacturing production employees in Matamoros, Mexico, who are represented by a labor union, went on strike demanding an increase in their hourly wage rate and the payment of an annual bonus, even though our collective bargaining agreement does not provide for such incentives. During this work stoppage, production was halted at our Matamoros manufacturing facility from February 15, 2019 until March 2, 2019. Although we ultimately resolved the strike in early March 2019, this disruption, along with the loss of nearly 50% of the workforce in Matamoros because of actions taken during the strike and a slower than planned start up in 2018, had a significant impact on production during the first quarter of 2019. A material amount of production was lost during that time period and the lower production volume will likely extend into the third quarter as new associates are trained and additional manufacturing lines are ramping up. Given the heavy demand for wind blades remains strong as evidenced by our signing in March 2018 of a new multiyear supply agreement with Vestas Wind Systems A/S for four manufacturing lines at a new manufacturing facility in the Yangzhou Economic & Technical Development ZoneU.S. market in Yangzhou, China. 2019, our liquidated damages provisions with our customers are quite stringent.  As a result, in addition to the impact of the lost production, we have reduced the total consideration expected to be received under a customer contract for the liquidated damages incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by $6.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively.  Although our operations at our Matamoros, Mexico facility improved and stabilized during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we expect these production delays will also impact volume in the third quarter and may result in further liquidated damage charges during the balance of 2019.  We estimate that the total impact of the lost volume, liquidated damages and compensation costs related to the settlement of the strike is expected to be approximately $28 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2019.

In May 2018, we signed a new multiyear supply agreement with ENERCON GmbH for two manufacturing lines at aApril 2019, one of our manufacturing facilitiescustomers, Senvion GmbH (Senvion), entered into a provisional self-administration procedure as ordered by the Local Court of Hamburg, Germany pursuant to the Insolvency Act in Izmir, Turkey.  Germany. As a result of this development, we reevaluated the outstanding accounts receivables due from Senvion, the revenue recognized under our contract with Senvion as well as the property, plant and equipment at our Taicang Port, China facility where we manufactured blades for Senvion. As a result of that reevaluation, we revised our estimate of consideration to be received under the contract, which reduced the revenues recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $6.7 million. We also revised the useful life of property, plant and equipment which was being used to fulfill the Senvion contract which does not have an alternative use. The reevaluation had an adverse impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the lost production from Senvion will have an adverse effect on our results of operations for the remainder of 2019.

In MayJuly 2019, we entered into a new agreement directly with the wind farm operator of the project to whom Senvion was supplying the wind blades we had manufactured. Under this agreement signed in July 2019, the wind farm operator agreed to purchase from us the undelivered wind blades and pay us for the remaining accounts receivable unpaid by Senvion, totaling approximately 90% of the $16.2 million gross amounts invoiced and invoiceable, but not yet collected. We received $6.2 million in cash in July 2018, Vestas exercised its option for a total2019, with the remaining amount to be collected upon final delivery of four additional manufacturing lines atthe remaining wind blades via an irrevocable letter of credit. This adjustment to revenue and accounts receivable will be recognized in third quarter of 2019. The effect of these adjustments on our loss from operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $12.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We have experienced construction and startup delays with respect to our new manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico.

Our wind turbine OEMs are experiencing pricing pressureYangzhou, China.  These delays resulted in many geographic markets due to several factors, including an increasing prevalenceus incurring estimated liquidated damages of auction-based pricing models$4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.  We expect these delays may result in us incurring additional liquidated damages during the balance of 2019 and will adversely impact our results of operations for new wind farm projects, increasing competition from solar energy projects and market demand shifts driven by the current Production Tax Credit cycle in the United States. As a resultbalance of these market trends, our wind turbine OEM customers are requiring an increasing number of wind blade model transitions in 2018.2019.

We also have experienced extended startup delays and challenges with respect to our Newton, Iowa transportation facility, which had an adverse impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  We expect that these delays and challenges also will have an adverse impact on our revenue growth rate in 2018 to slow considerably due to a significant numberresults of wind blade model transitions.operations for the balance of 2019.


COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

We recognize revenue from manufacturing services over time as the customer controlsour customers control the product as it is produced, and we may not use or sell the product to fulfill other customers’ contracts. Net sales include amounts billed to our customers for our products, including wind blades, precision molding and assembly systems and other products and services, as well as the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation for products in progress, which is determined on a ratio of direct costs incurred to date in fulfillment of the contract to the total estimated direct costs required to complete the performance obligation.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the costs we incur at our production facilities to make products saleable on both products invoiced during the period as well as products in progress towards the completion of each performance obligation. Cost of goods sold includes such items as raw materials, direct and indirect labor and facilities costs, including purchasing and receiving costs, plant management, inspection costs, production process improvement activities, product engineering and internal transfer costs. In addition, all depreciation associated with assets used in the production of our products is also included in cost of goods sold. Direct labor costs consist of salaries, benefits and other personnel related costs for employees engaged in the manufacturemanufacturing of our products and services.

Startup costs represent the unallocated overhead related to both new manufacturing facilities as well as new lines in existing manufacturing facilities. Transition costs represent the unallocated overhead related to the transition of wind blade models at the request of our customers. The startup and transition costs are primarily unallocated fixed overhead costs and underutilized direct labor costs incurred during the period production facilities are under-utilized while transitioning wind blade models and ramping up manufacturing, whichmanufacturing. All direct labor costs are not allocatedincluded in the measure of progress towards completion of the relevant performance obligation when determining revenue to products and are expensed as incurred.be recognized during the period. The cost of sales for the initial wind blades from a new model manufacturing line is generally higher than when the line is operating at optimal production volume levels due to inefficiencies during ramp-up related to labor hours per blade, cycle times per blade and raw material usage. Additionally, manufacturing overheadthese costs as a percentage of net sales isare generally higher during the period in which a facility is ramping up to full production capacity due to underutilization of the facility. Manufacturing overhead at each of our facilities includes virtually all indirect costs (including share-based compensation costs) incurred at the plants, including engineering, finance, information technology, human resources and plant management.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are primarily incurred at our corporate headquarters and our research facilities and include salaries, benefits and other personnel related costs for employees engaged in research and development, engineering, finance, internal audit, information technology, human resources, business development, global operational excellence, global supply chain, in-house legal and executive management. Other costs include outside legal and accounting fees, risk management (insurance), share-based compensation and certain other administrative and global resources costs.

The research and development expenses incurred at our Warren, Rhode Island and Fall River, Massachusetts locations as well as at our Kolding, Denmark advanced engineering center are also included in general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, research and 2017, thesedevelopment expenses totaled $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Realized Loss on Sale of Assets

Realized loss on sale of assets represents the realized losses on the sale of receivables under supply chain financing arrangements with our customers and $0.8 million, respectively. Researchrealized gains and development performedlosses on the sale of other assets at our corporate and manufacturing facilities.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges primarily consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits and ongoing benefits related to the reduction of our workforce and other costs associated with exit activities, which may include costs related to leased facilities is included in cost of goods sold.to be abandoned and facility and employee relocation costs.


Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense on our debt borrowings and the amortization of deferred financing costs on such borrowings. Other income (expense) also includes realized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement, interest income, losses on extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous income and expense.


Income Tax ProvisionTaxes

Income tax provision consiststaxes consist of federal, state, provincial, local and foreign taxes based on income in jurisdictions in which we operate, including in the United States,U.S., China, Mexico, Turkey and Turkey.India. The composite income tax rate, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities vary according to the jurisdiction in which the income or loss arises. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by management and the respective governmental taxing authorities, and require us to exercise judgment in determining our income tax provision, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.

KEY FINANCIAL MEASURESMETRICS

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we use certain other financial measures and operating metrics to analyze the performance of our company.performance. These “non-GAAP” financial measures consist of total billings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net cash (debt), which help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, assess operational efficiencies, oversee our overall liquidity, and evaluate our overall financial performance. The key operating metrics consist of wind blade sets invoiced, estimated megawatts of energy capacity for wind blade sets invoiced, utilization percentage, manufacturing lines dedicated to customers under long-term supply agreements, total manufacturing lines installed, manufacturing lines in startup and manufacturing lines in transition, which help us evaluate our operational performance. We believe that these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance.

See below for more information and a reconciliation of total billings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net cash (debt)debt to net sales, net income (loss), net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and total debt, net of debt issuance costs, respectively, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.


Total billings

We define total billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as the total amounts we have invoiced our customers for products and services for which we are entitled to payment under the terms of our long-term supply agreements or other contractual agreements. We monitor total billings, and believe it is useful to present to investors as a supplement to our GAAP measures, because we believe it more directly correlates to sales activity and operations based on the timing of actual transactions with our customers, which facilitates comparison of our performance between periods and provides a more timely indication of trends in sales. Under GAAP, total net sales recognized on products in production represents the total amount that we have recognized as revenue under the cost-to-cost method for services performed during the period under our long-term supply agreements. Under our long-term supply agreements with our customers, we invoice our customers for wind blades once the blades pass certain acceptance procedures and title passes to our customers. Our customers generally pay us for the wind blades between 3015 to 6590 days after receipt of the invoice based on negotiated payment terms.  However, in many cases, our customers request that we store their wind blades until they are ready to assemble wind turbines at a particular wind farm project. We have no control over when our customers decide to ship wind blades from our storage sites, and in some cases, our customers have stored large numbers of their wind blades on our sites for six months or more. However, we are contractually entitled to payment for those wind blades and, accordingly, invoice them when the blades are placed in storage.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss plus interest expense (including losses on 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, plus or minus any realized gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement.remeasurement, plus or minus any gains or losses from the sale of assets. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our management and our board of directors to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. In addition, our credit agreement (the Credit FacilityAgreement) that we entered into in April 2018 contains minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility)Agreement) covenants with which we must comply. We monitor adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to our GAAP measures, and believe it is useful to present to investors, because we believe that it facilitates evaluation of our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature, allowing comparison of our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods unaffected by differences in capital structure, capital investment cycles and fixed asset base. In addition, we believe adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance and debt-service capabilities.

Our usesuse of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

In evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments noted herein. Our presentations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as suggesting that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) and other GAAP measures.

Free cash flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our business for purposes such as repaying maturing debt and funding business acquisitions.

Net cash (debt)

We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. The total principal amount of debt outstanding is comprised of the long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt as presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets adding back any debt issuance costs and discounts. We believe that the presentation of net cash (debt) provides useful information to investors because our management reviews net cash (debt) as part of our oversight of overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage. Net cash (debt) is important when we consider opening new plants and expanding existing plants, as well as for capital expenditure requirements.

Key operating metrics consist of sets invoiced, estimated megawatts of energy capacity for wind blade sets invoiced, utilization, dedicated manufacturing lines, manufacturing lines installed, manufacturing lines in operation, manufacturing lines in startup and manufacturing lines in transition.

 

Sets represents the number of wind blade sets, consisting of three wind blades each, which we invoiced worldwide during the period. We monitor sets and believe that presenting sets to investors is helpful because we believe that it is the most direct measurement of our manufacturing output during the period. Sets primarily impact net sales and total billings.  

Estimated megawatts are the energy capacity to be generated by wind blade sets invoiced in the period. Our estimate is based solely on name-plate capacity of the wind turbine on which ourthe wind blades we manufacture are expected to be installed. We monitor estimated megawatts and believe that presenting estimated megawatts to investors is helpful because we believe that it is a commonly followed measurement of energy capacity across our industry and provides an indication of our share of the overall wind blade market.

Utilization represents the percentage of the number of wind blades invoiced during the period compared to the total potential wind blade capacity of manufacturing lines installed at the end of the period.

Dedicated manufacturing lines are the number of wind blade manufacturing lines that we have dedicated to our customers pursuant to our long-term supply agreements at the end of the period. We monitor dedicated manufacturing lines and believe that presenting this metric to investors is helpful because we believe that the number of dedicated manufacturing lines is the best indicator of demand for ourthe wind blades fromwe manufacture for customers under our long-term supply agreements in any given period. We believe that dedicated manufacturing lines provide an understanding of additional capacity within an existing facility. Dedicated manufacturing lines primarily impacts our net sales and total billings.

Total manufacturingManufacturing lines installed represents the number of wind blade manufacturing lines installed and either in operation, startup or transition at the end of the period. We believe that total manufacturing lines installed provides an understanding of the number of manufacturing lines installed and either in operation, startup or transition.

Manufacturing lines in operation represents the number of wind blade manufacturing lines installed less the number of manufacturing lines in startup and in transition.

Manufacturing lines in startup is the number of dedicated wind blade manufacturing lines that were in a startup phase during the pre-production and production ramp up period, pursuant to the opening of a new manufacturing facility, the expansion of an existing manufacturing facility or the addition of new manufacturing lines in an existing manufacturing facility. We monitor and present this metric because we believe it helps investors to better understand the impact of the startup phase of our new manufacturing facilities on our gross profit and net income.

Manufacturing lines in transition is the number of wind blade manufacturing lines that were being transitioned to a new wind blade model during the period. We monitor and present this metric because we believe it helps investors to better understand the impact of these transitions on our gross profit and net income.

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 20182019 increased by $5.9$39.0 million or 11.7%69.2% to $56.4$95.4 million compared to $50.5$56.4 million in the same period in 2017.2018. The increase reflects a 15.1%38% net increase in overall wind blade volume driven by greater volume at our second and third Mexico plants, partially offset by a decrease in wind blade volume at our first Mexico plant. These increases were also impacted by an increase in the average sales pricesprice of wind blades due to a change in the mix of wind blades between the two periods. Net sales from the manufacturing of precision molding and assembly systems during the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $6.0 million compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2018.

 

IncomeThe income from operations in the Mexico segment for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 was $0.2$4.1 million as compared to $1.2income from operations of $0.2 million in the same period in 2017.2018. The decrease in income from operationsincrease was due primarily to higher startup costs related to our new facility in Matamoros, Mexico, partially offset by the overall increase in wind blade volume noted above as well as from savings in raw material costs, and production efficiencies.  The decrease was also partially offset by the favorable impact of theincreased startup and transition costs.

The decreaseincrease was driven by a 47.3% decreasean 111% increase in wind blade volume at our firsttwo Turkey plant as a result of the December 31, 2017 conclusion of our supply agreement with GE, mostlyplants. This increase was partially offset by a 33.3% increase in wind blade production in our second Turkey plant. We accelerated production for GE in 2017 and completed 100% of GE volume by the end of June 2017 to enable us to accelerate the transition of those manufacturing lines to two new manufacturing lines for another customerdecrease in the second half of 2017. Other items having a favorable impact on net sales include overall higher average sales pricesprice of wind blades delivered in the comparative periods due to the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, the mix of wind blades sold during the period as well as the impact of theperiods. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 8.0%5.8% on net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 2017.2018.

IncomeThe income from operations in the EMEAEMEAI segment for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 was $7.7$22.5 million as compared to $3.8$7.7 million in the same period in 2017.2018. The increase was primarily driven by the increased wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, improved operating efficiency at our firsttwo Turkey plant, savings in raw materials,plants, lower startup costs and the favorable impact on cost of goods sold of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro of 0.4% in13.7% for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to 2017.2018, partially offset by higher material costs related to a new product at our second Turkey plant.

This increase was partially offset by a 45.2% decrease in wind blade volume at our first Turkey plant as a result of the December 31, 2017 conclusion of our supply agreement with GE. We accelerated production for GE in 2017 and completed 100% of GE volume by the end of June 2017 to enable us to accelerate the transition of those manufacturing lines to two new manufacturing lines for another customer in the second half of 2017. Other items having a favorable impact on net sales include overall higher average sales pricesprice of wind blades delivered in the comparative periods due to the beginning of wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, the mix of wind blades sold during the period as well as the impact of theperiods. The fluctuating U.S. dollar relative to the Euro had an unfavorable impact of 9.0% as compared to 2017.6.9% on net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

IncomeThe income from operations in the EMEAEMEAI segment for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 was $23.2$34.5 million as compared to $7.1$23.2 million in the same period in 2017.2018. The increase was primarily driven by the increased wind blade production in our second Turkey plant, improved operating efficiency at our firsttwo Turkey plantplants, lower startup costs and savings in raw materials. Thethe favorable impact on cost of goods sold of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish Lira and Euro had an 3.2% unfavorable impact on cost of goods sold in15.0% for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to 2017.  2018, partially offset by higher material costs related to a new product at our second Turkey plant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity have been, and in the future will continue to be, capital expenditures, new facility startup costs, transition costs,the impact of transitions, working capital and debt service costs. Our capital expenditures have been primarily related to machinery and equipment for new facilities or facility expansions. Historically, we have funded our working capital needs through cash flows from operations, the proceeds received from our credit facilities and from proceeds received from the issuance of stock. We had net borrowings on financing arrangements of $5.9$6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to net borrowings on financing arrangements of $4.9$5.9 million in the comparable period of 2017.2018. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $131.4$149.7 million and $138.5 million in outstanding indebtedness, excluding debt issuance costs.costs, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, as a result of the April 2018 refinancing of our prior senior secured credit facility,2019, we had an aggregate of $100.0$79.2 million of remaining capacity and $84.1$77.3 million of remaining availability under our various credit facilities. Working capital requirements have increased as a result of our overall growth and the need to fund higher accounts receivable and


inventory levels as our business volumes have increased.increased as well as the increased level of transitions. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that cash on hand, available credit facilities and cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to make required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness over the next twelve months.


We anticipate that any new facilities and future facility expansions will be funded through cash flows from operations, the incurrence of other indebtedness and other potential sources of liquidity.

At June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $114.0$58.7 million and $148.1$85.3 million, respectively. The June 30, 20182019 balance includes $33.0$18.5 million of cash located outside of the United States, including $29.9$10.0 million in China, $0.5$4.8 million in Turkey, and $2.6$2.7 million in Mexico.Mexico, $0.7 million in Denmark and $0.3 million in India. Our ability to repatriate funds from China to the United States is subject to a number of restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. We repatriate funds through several technology license and corporate/administrative service agreements. We are compensated quarterly based on agreed upon royalty rates for such technologyintellectual property licenses and quarterly fees for corporate/administrativethose services. Certain of our subsidiaries are limited in their ability to declare dividends without first meeting statutory restrictions of the People’s Republic of China, including retained earnings as determined under Chinese-statutory accounting requirements. Until 50% ($11.6 million)21.6 million as of December 31, 2018) of registered capital is contributed to a surplus reserve, our Chinese operations can only pay dividends equal to 90% of after-tax profits (10% must be contributed to the surplus reserve). Once the surplus reserve fund requirement is met, our Chinese operations can pay dividends equal to 100% of after-tax profit assuming other conditions are met. At December 31, 2017,2018, the amount of the surplus reserve fund was $5.6$6.5 million.

Description of Our Indebtedness

Senior Financing Agreements (U.S.):

In December 2016,2017, we amended and restated theour previous credit facility (the Restated Credit Facility). The previous $100.0 million of available principal was replaced with a $75.0 million term loan and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility, which originally included a $15.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, which was increased to $20.0 million in April 2017. The borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility bore interest at a variable rate through maturity at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a 1.0% floor, plus 5.75%. The Restated Credit Facility required us to make quarterly principal payments in the amount of $0.9 million of the outstanding principal loan balance commencing in March 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance to be repaid on or before December 30, 2020. The Restated Credit Facility contained customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. The obligations under the Restated Credit Facility were secured by a lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible property and by a pledge of 65% of the equity of our direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions from collateral.


If we prepaid any of the outstanding principal loan balance prior to December 30, 2017, we would have been required to pay the lenders a premium equal to the amount of interest that otherwise would have been payable from the date of prepayment until December 30, 2017 plus 3.0% of the amount of the principal loan balance that was prepaid. If we prepaid any of the outstanding principal loan balance after December 30, 2017 through December 30, 2018, we would have been required to pay the lenders 2.0% of the principal loan balance that was prepaid, and if we were to have prepaid any of the outstanding loan balance after December 30, 2018 through December 30, 2019, we would have been required to pay a premium of 1.5% of the amount of the principal loan balance that was prepaid.

In connection with the Restated Credit Facility, in December 2016, we repaid the previous credit facility balance of $74.4 million, plus accrued interest, closing fees, a prepayment penalty and the reimbursement of certain lenders expenses incurred. In addition, we incurred debt issuance costs related to the Restated Credit Facility totaling $2.2 million which were being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the credit facility (48 months) using the effective interest method.

In December 2017, we amended the Restated Credit Facility to consent to the restructuring of our parent and subsidiaries, decreased the variable interest rate to LIBOR, with a 1.0% floor, plus 5.25% and the amendment of certain capital expenditure and other financial covenants.  In connection with this amendment, the amendment fee of $0.4 million was recorded as a debt issuance cost and was being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the credit facilityCredit Facility (36 months) using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2017, the aggregate outstanding balance under the Restated Credit Facility was $74.1 million.

OnIn April 6, 2018, we entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with four lenders consisting of a multi-currency, revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, including a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. On the closing date we drew down $75.4 million on the revolving credit facility in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to pay all outstanding amounts due and payable under the Restated Credit Facility, various fees and expenses and accrued interest. All borrowings and amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature in April 2023.

In May 2019, the Credit Agreement was further amended to revise the definition of Consolidated EBITDA as utilized in certain of the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, in the second quarter of 2018 we expensed $2.0 million of deferred financing costs associated with the Restated Credit Facility and a $1.4 million prepayment penalty within the caption “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.income statements. In addition, the Companywe incurred debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement totaling $1.2$1.0 million which will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year term of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

Interest accrues at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus an initiala margin of 1.5% (3.56%1.0% (4.4% as of June 30, 2018)2019), which may vary based on our total net leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest is paid monthly and we are not obligated to make any principal repayments prior to the maturity date as long asprovided we are not in default under the Credit Agreement. We may prepay borrowingthe borrowings under the Credit Agreement without penalty.

In April 2018, we also entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to fix a notional amount of $75.0 million of the Credit Agreement at an effective interest rate of 4.19%4.2% for a period of five years. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $75.4$96.4 million and $90.4 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement.Agreement, respectively.

Due to the revolving credit facility’s variable interest rate of LIBOR plus a competitive spread, we estimate that fair-value approximates the face value of these notes.  

Accounts Receivable, Secured and Unsecured Financing:

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We are not presently involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including transactions with unconsolidated special-purpose or other entities that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, other than our operating lease arrangements and the accounts receivable assignment agreementagreements described below. Furthermore, we do not have any relationships with special-purpose or other entities that provide off-balance sheet financing; liquidity, market risk or credit risk support; or engage in leasing or other services that may expose us to liability or risks of loss that are not reflected in condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

In 2014, ourOur Mexico segment entered intohas an existing accounts receivable assignment agreement with a financial institution. Under this agreement,institution under which the financial institution buys, on a non-recourse basis, the accounts receivable amounts related to one of our Mexico segment’s customers at a discount calculated based on an effective annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%.


In September 2018, our U.S. and Mexico segments entered into an accounts receivable assignment agreement, as amended, with a financial institution. Under this agreement, the financial institution buys, on a non-recourse basis, the accounts receivable amounts related to one of our U.S. (Iowa location) and Mexico segment’s customers at a discount calculated based on LIBOR plus 1.25%.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, our EMEAI segment entered into an accounts receivable assignment agreement with a financial institution. Under this agreement, the financial institution may buy, on a non-recourse basis, up to 15.0 million Euro (approximately $17.1 million as of June 30, 2019) of the accounts receivable amounts related to one of our EMEAI segment’s customers at a discount calculated based on EURIBOR plus 2.65%.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, our EMEAI segment entered into an accounts receivable assignment agreement with a financial institution. Under this agreement, the financial institution buys, on a non-recourse basis, the accounts receivable amounts related to one of our EMEAI segment’s customers at a discount calculated based on EURIBOR plus 0.75%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the full retrospective method as further described in Note 1, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Note 2, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that the resulting accounting policy related to revenue recognition is a critical accounting policy because of the significance of revenue, the complexity of estimates when utilizing the percentage-of-completion method and the significant degree of judgment in evaluating recognition criteria.

Except as noted above, thereThere have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These market risks are principally limited to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We currently do not hedge our exposure to these risks.

Foreign Currency Risk. We conduct international operations in China, Mexico, Turkey and Turkey.India. Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. We incur currency transaction risk whenever we enter into either a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the transacting entity. With respect to currency translation risk, our financial condition and results of operations are measured and recorded in the relevant domestic currency and then translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In recent years, exchange rates between these foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly and may do so in the future. A hypothetical change of 10% in the exchange rates for the countries above would have resulted in a change to income from operations of approximately $1.6$5.4 million and $4.1$1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk. We are subject to commodity price risk under agreements for the supply of our raw materials. We have not hedged nor do we intend to hedge, our commodity price exposure. We generally lock in pricing for our key raw materials for 12 months which protects us from price increases within that period. As many of our raw material supply agreements have meet or release clauses, if raw materials prices go down, we are able to benefit from the reductions in price. We believe that this adequately protects us from increases in raw material prices and also enables us to take full advantage of decreases.


Resin and resin systems are the onlyprimary commodities for which we do not have fixed pricing. Approximately 30% of the resin and resin systems we use is purchased under contracts controlled by two of our customers and therefore they receive/bear 100% of any increase or decrease in resin costs further limiting our exposure to price fluctuations. We believe that a 10% change in the price of resin and resin systems for the customers in which we are exposed to fluctuating prices would have had an impact to income from operations of approximately $3.7$3.8 million and $6.6$3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Furthermore, this amount does not include the portion of any increase or decrease that would be shared with our customers under our long-term supply agreements, which is generally 70%.

 

Interest Rate Risk. As of June 30, 2018,2019, our EMEAEMEAI segment has threeone general credit agreementsagreement with a Turkish financial institutionsinstitution which areis tied to EURIBOR. Each of the agreements contains collateralized financing on invoiced customer receivables, with two of the agreements also containing unsecured financing and the thirdThis agreement also containing collateralized financing of capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2018, there was $26.0 million of collateralized financing on invoiced customer receivables and $14.4 million ofhad collateralized financing of capital expenditures outstanding.outstanding as of June 30, 2019 of $10.0 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, our Credit Agreement includes interest on the unhedged principal amount of $21.4 million which is tied to LIBOR. Also, as of June 30, 2019, our Asia segment has one credit agreement with a Chinese financial institution which is tied to the Chinese central bank interest rate.  This agreement had working capital loans outstanding totaling $2.9 million. The three EMEA generalEMEAI and Asia credit agreements and our Credit Agreement noted above are the only variable rate debt that we had outstanding as of June 30, 20182019 as all remaining working capital loans, accounts receivable financing and capital lease obligations are fixed rate instruments and are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, our new Credit Agreement includes interest on the unhedged principal amount of $0.4 million which is tied to LIBOR. Due to the relatively low LIBOR and EURIBOR rates in effect as of June 30, 2018,2019, a 10% change in the LIBOR or EURIBOR rate would not have had a material impact on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows.


 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and operating effectiveness as of June 30, 20182019 of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, we have re-evaluated and established new internal controls related to revenue recognition. We are also currently updating our enterprise risk planning systems to accommodate Topic 606 and will continue to evaluate such internal controls.  

Except as noted above, there have not been any otherThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations.

In March 2015, a complaint was filed against us in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona (Maricopa County) by a former employee, alleging that we had agreed to make certain cash payments to suchcompensate the employee upon any future sale or initial public offering of the Company. We filedUpon completion of the June 2019 trial, the court ruled as a motionmatter of law in our favor on certain of the claims against us and the jury reached a verdict in our favor on the remainder of the claims against us. As a result of the trial, we were not obligated to dismiss the complaint in April 2015, which was denied. We subsequently filed an answerpay any damages or losses to the complaint in July 2015 denying the substantive allegations of the complaint. The parties completed court-ordered mediation in December 2015 but were not able to reach a settlement. We filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint in April 2016 and the court denied the motion in August 2016. The court recently postponed the trial date from August 2018 until June 2019. We continue to deny the substantive allegations of the complaint and intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit; however, we are currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this case.

In August 2015, we entered into a transition agreement with our former Senior Vice President – Asia, pursuant to which that individual transitioned out of this role at the end of 2015 and was to serve in a consulting capacity in 2016 and 2017. In January 2016, following our discovery that the individual had materially violated the terms of the transition agreement, we terminated the consultancy for cause. In April 2016, an arbitration claim was filed in China by the individual with the Taicang Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee alleging that we improperly terminated the transition agreement. The individual is demanding that we honor the terms of the transition agreement and pay compensation and fees under the transition agreement, which in the aggregate totals approximately $2.6 million. In addition, the individual is also challenging the validity of our termination of an option to purchase 164,880 shares of our common stock and 77,760 restricted stock units awarded under the 2015 Plan, which were canceled in January 2016 when the consultancy was terminated. The Taicang Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee awarded damages to the individual of approximately $1.2 million but rejected the claims regarding the termination of the stock option and restricted stock unit awards. We subsequently appealed the arbitration award in favor of the individual to the Taicang Municipal People’s Court, which affirmed the arbitration award in June 2018. We have appealed this judgment to an appellate level court in the Jiangsu Province and the appeal remains pending. We previously established a reserve for these matters and do not believe the award, if upheld on appeal, will have a material impact on our operating results or financial condition.

In June 2018, Iowa OSHA, a division of the Iowa Department of Labor, issued a citation and notification of penalty to us alleging that certain of our workplace practices and conditions at our Newton, Iowa wind blade manufacturing facility had violated the Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Act. Specifically, the citation cited us for multiple alleged violations and proposed that we pay an aggregate penalty of $0.2 million. In June 2018, we notified Iowa OSHA that we were contesting all of the alleged violations and proposed penalties. In June 2018, the Labor Commissioner of the Iowa Department of Labor subsequently filed a complaint with the State of Iowa Employment Appeal Board, petitioning the appeal board to affirm the citation and notification of penalty that Iowa OSHA issued to us. In July 2018, we then filed a response with the appeal board denying the substantive allegations of the complaint. A hearing date has not yet been set and thus the matter remains pending.employee.

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, we may incur charges in excess of presently established reserves.reserves or our insurance policy limits. Our management does not believe that any such charges would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
