Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements in the Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Estimates utilized in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and could differ materially. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, and are of a normal, recurring nature.
The Company has one operating segment, Architectural Glass and Windows, which is also its reporting segment, comprising the design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and installation of high-specification architectural glass and window product sold to the construction industry.

Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate TGI, its subsidiaries Tecnoglass S.A.S (“TG”), C.I. Energía Solar S.A.S E.S. Windows (“ES”), ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”), Tecno RE LLC (“Tecno RE”), GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”), Componenti USA LLC, ES Metals SAS (“ES Metals”), and Ventanas Solar S.A (“VS”), which are entities in which we have a controlling financial interest because we hold a majority voting interest. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation, including unrealized intercompany profits and losses. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in affiliates and other joint ventures over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.
TGI and certain wholly owned subsidiaries with functional currency different than the U.S. dollar have long-term intercompany loan balances denominated in foreign currencies that are remeasured at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Such loan balances are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future. Any gains and losses relating to these loans are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Recast of Prior Year Period Financial Statements
On
November 8, 2021, we announced that we entered into a purchase agreement with Ventanas Solar S.A. (“VS”), a Panama domiciled
company that acts as an importer and distributor of the Company’s products in the Republic of Panama. VS was affiliated with family
members of Jose M. Daes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Christian T. Daes, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company through ES acquired
The acquisition of VS was deemed to be a transaction between entities under common control. As a result, the assets and liabilities were transferred at the historical cost of VS, with prior periods retroactively adjusted to include the historical financial results of the acquired company for the period they were controlled by the previous owners of VS in the Company’s financial statements.
The following table includes the financial information as originally reported and the net effect of the VS acquisition after elimination of intercompany transactions:
| Three months ended June 30, 2021 | Six months ended June 30, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Diluted income per share | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions are settled.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In June 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the allowance for credit losses accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The new model is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, thereby bringing consistency in accounting treatment across different types of financial instruments and requiring consideration of a broader range of variables when forming loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, (with early application permitted). The FASB issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 during the fourth quarter of 2019 that postponed the effective date to the year beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), which amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 (SAB119) which contains interpretative guidance from the SEC aligned to the FASB’s ASC 326.
We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach at the beginning of fiscal year 2022 as we no longer qualified as a smaller reporting company. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings or financial condition. Refer to additional disclosures in Note 4.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company through December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s outstanding debt,. which bears interest based on LIBOR. contains provisions for transitioning into a benchmark reference rate prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR in 2023. Our interest rate swap derivative contract will be adjusted accordingly.
We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Disaggregation of Total Net Sales

Trade Accounts Receivable
In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to customers on a generally non-collateralized basis. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses which is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectible in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectible accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectible accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful.
Trade accounts receivable consist of the following:

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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuations related to our outstanding debt. The effective date of the contract is December 31, 2022 and, thus, we shall have payment dates each quarter, commencing March 31, 2023. Our contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted LIBOR.
We record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings.
As
of June 30, 2022, the fair value of interest rate swap contracts was in a net asset position of $
We
assess the effectiveness of our interest rate swap contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts
to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap
contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item
in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of
gains, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive income” line item in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2022, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months, is $

Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and advances from customers approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities. The Company bases its fair value estimate for long term debt obligations on its internal valuation that all debt is floating rate debt based on current interest rates in Colombia.
The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risks are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves. Measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. To carry out the swap valuation, the definition of the fixed leg (obligation) and variable leg (right) is used. Once the projected flows are obtained in both fixed and variable rates, the regression analysis is performed for prospective effectiveness test. The projection curve contains the forward interest rates to project flows at a variable rate and the discount curve contains the interest rates to discount future flows, using the one-month USD Libor curve.
As of June 30, 2022, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 6 – Debt. The fair value of long-term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted at current market rates, which are level 2 inputs.
The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long-term debt:

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

Overview
We are a vertically integrated manufacturer, supplier and installer of architectural glass, windows and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction markets. With a focus on innovation, combined with providing highly specified products with the highest quality standards at competitive prices, we have developed a leadership position in each of our core markets. In the United States, which is our largest market, we were ranked as the second largest glass fabricator as well as the second largest metal company serving the United States in 2021 by Glass Magazine. In addition, we believe we are the leading glass transformation company in Colombia. Our customers, which include developers, general contractors or installers for hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, airports, universities, hospitals and multi-family and residential buildings, look to us as a value-added partner based on our product development capabilities, our high-quality products and our unwavering commitment to exceptional service.
We have more than 38 years of experience in architectural glass and aluminum profile structure assembly. We transform a variety of glass products, including tempered safety, double thermo-acoustic and laminated glass. Our finished glass products are installed in a wide variety of buildings across a number of different applications, including floating facades, curtain walls, windows, doors, handrails, and interior and bathroom spatial dividers. We also produce aluminum products such as profiles, rods, bars, plates and other hardware used in the manufacturing of windows.
Our products are manufactured in a 3.8 million square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Barranquilla, Colombia that provides easy access to North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Our products can be found on some of the most distinctive buildings in these regions, including One Thousand Museum (Miami), Paramount Miami Worldcenter (Miami), Hub50House (Boston), Via 57 West (New York), Ae’o Tower (Honolulu), Salesforce Tower (San Francisco), Trump Plaza (Panama), and Departmental Legislative Assembly (Bolivia). Our track record of successfully delivering high profile projects has earned us an increasing number of opportunities across the United States, evidenced by our expanding backlog and overall revenue growth.
Our structural competitive advantage is underpinned by our low-cost manufacturing footprint, vertically integrated business model and geographic location. Our integrated facilities in Colombia and distribution and services operations in Florida provide us with a significant cost advantage in both manufacturing and distribution, and we continue to invest in these operations to expand our operational capabilities. Our lower cost manufacturing footprint allows us to offer competitive prices for our customers, while also providing innovative, high quality and high value-added products, together with consistent and reliable service. We have historically generated high margin organic growth based on our position as a value-added solutions provider for our customers.
| 19 |
We have a strong presence in the Florida market, which represents a substantial portion of our revenue stream and backlog. Our success in Florida has primarily been achieved through sustained organic growth, with further penetration taking place into other highly populated areas of the United States. As part of our strategy to become a fully vertically integrated company, we have supplemented our organic growth with some acquisitions that have afforded us incremental control over our supply chain while maintaining efficient lead times. In 2016, we completed the acquisition of ESW, which gave us control over the distribution of products into the United States from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia. In March 2017, we completed the acquisition of GM&P, a consulting and glazing installation business that was previously our largest installation customer.
The continued diversification of the group’s presence and product portfolio is a core component of our strategy. In particular, we are actively seeking to expand our presence in United States outside of Florida. Since 2017, we have been expanding our presence in U.S. residential markets which went from less than 5% of our sales to nearly 36% of our revenues for the full year 2021. We believe that the quality of our products, coupled with our ability to price competitively given our structural advantages on cost and our efficient lead times given our vertical integration, will allow us to generate further growth in the future.
Our company has focused on working with The Power of Quality, always making sure that our vision of sustainability is immersed into every aspect of our business, including social, environmental, economic and governance variables (ESG), that help us make decisions and create value for our stakeholders. We carry out a series of initiatives based on our global sustainability strategy, which is supported on three fundamental pillars: promoting an ethical and responsible continuous growth, leading eco-efficiency and innovation and empowering our environment. As part of this strategy the Company has voluntarily adhered to UN Global Compact Principles since 2017 and in pursuit of our cooperation with the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) joined in 2021 a program to dynamize, strengthen and make visible the management of greenhouse gas emissions as a carbon neutral strategy set out by the Colombian government for 2050.

Comparison of quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenues
The Company’s operating revenues increased $47.4 million or 38.9%, from $121.8 million the quarter ended June 30, 2021, to $169.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Strong sales during the second quarter of 2022 were driven by strong U.S. residential and commercial market activity, where sales increased $51.7 million, or 47.0%, from $109.9 million in 2021 to $161.5 million in 2022. Single family residential market sales increased $35.0 million, or 85.6%, from $40.9 million in 2021 to $75.9 million in 2022, and account for 44.9% of total sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Sales to Latin-American markets, including Colombia decreased $4.2 million, or 35.6%, from $11.9 million in 2021 to $7.6 million in 2022.
| 20 |
Gross profit
Gross profit increased $24.5 million, or 49.9%, to $73.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $49.1 million during the same period of 2021. This resulted in gross profit margin reaching 43.5% during the second quarter of 2022, up from 40.4% during the second quarter of 2021. The 310-basis point improvement in gross margin reflected operating leverage on higher sales, a higher mix of revenue from manufacturing versus installation activity as we continue to grow into the single family residential market and a full quarter of greater operating efficiencies from prior automation initiatives.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased $7.8 million, or 38.2%, from $20.4 million to $28.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The increase was driven by $3.7 million, or 64.6% increase in shipping expense as a result of a higher sales volume and higher shipping rates with a higher mix of sales going into the US market; $1.0 million in non-recurring professional fees and other costs related to a Special Committee assessment in response to a short seller’s report issued on December 2021, along with smaller increases in personnel and sales commissions.
Non-operating income and expenses, net
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded non-operating income of $0.2 million and net non-operating expense of $0.2 million, respectively. Non-operating income is comprised primarily of income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials as well as non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of influence.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a non-operating gain of $2.5 million associated with foreign currency transactions, which excludes a non-cash $10.6 million foreign currency transaction loss from remeasurement of certain intercompany loans reclassified to other comprehensive income. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net gain of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 within the statement of operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and deferred cost of financing decreased $0.7 million, or 29.8%, to $1.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 from $2.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as a result of our new financing arrangement further described below in the liquidity section.
Income Taxes
During the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $14.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 30.5% and 27.9%, respectively, which approximate the statutory rate.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $33.4 million compared to net income of $19.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Comparison of six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenues
The Company’s operating revenues increased $70.4 million or 30.2% from $233.3 million to $303.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Strong sales during the first six months of 2022 were driven by U.S. single family residential and commercial market activity, where sales increased $77.8 million, or 36.9%, from $210.7 million in 2021 to $288.5 million in 2022. Single family residential market sales increased $71.3 million, or 110.8%, from $64.3 million in 2021 to $135.5 million in 2022, and accounted for 44.6% of total sales during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Sales to Latin-American markets, including Colombia decreased $7.4 million, or 32.8%, from $22.6 million in 2021 to $15.2 million in 2022.
| 21 |
Gross profit
Gross profit increased $39.5 million, or 41.9%, to $134.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $94.4 million during the same period of 2021. This resulted in gross profit margin reaching 44.1% during the first six months of 2022, up from 40.5% during the first six months of 2021. The 360-basis point improvement in gross margin mainly reflected a higher mix of revenue from manufacturing versus installation activity as we continue to grow into single family residential, greater operating efficiencies from prior automation initiatives and operating leverage on higher revenues.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased $14.3 million, or 35.5%, from $40.2 million to $54.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The increase was driven by $3.4 million in non-recurring professional fees and other costs related to a Special Committee assessment in response to a short seller’s report issued on December 2021. Additionally, shipping expense increased $5.6 million, or 52.1%, as a result of a higher sales volume and higher shipping rates with a higher mix of sales going into the US market.
Non-operating income and expenses, net
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a non-operating income of $0.5 million and non-operating expense of less than $0.1 million, respectively. Non-operating income is comprised primarily of income from rental properties and gains on sale of scrap materials as well as non-operating expenses related to certain charitable contributions outside of the Company’s direct sphere of influence.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also recorded a loss in debt extinguishment of $11.0 million, mainly comprised of a one-time $8.6 million call premium paid on the $210 million senior notes redemption, along with a non-cash amortization of deferred cost of financing related to said notes.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $0.4 million associated with foreign currency transactions, which excludes a non-cash $4.1 million foreign currency transaction gain from remeasurement of certain intercompany loans reclassified to other comprehensive income. Comparatively, the Company recorded a net gain of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 within the statement of operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and deferred cost of financing decreased $2.8 million, or 46.6%, to $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of our new financing arrangement further described below in the liquidity section.
Income Taxes
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $25.3 million and $11.3 million, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 31.7% and 28.8%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for both periods approximate the statutory rates.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $54.4 and $27.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $98.6 million and $85.0 million, respectively. Additionally, we currently have approximately $170.0 million available under different lines of credit.
| 22 |
In November 2021, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility to (i) increase the borrowing capacity under its committed Line of credit from $50 million to $150 million, (ii) reduce its borrowing costs by an approximate 130 basis points, and (iii) extend the initial maturity date by one year to the end of 2026. Borrowings under the credit facility now bear interest at a rate of LIBOR with no floor plus a spread of 1.50%, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio, compared to a prior rate of LIBOR with a floor of 0.75% plus a spread of 2.50%, resulting on total annual savings of approximately $15 million at current levels of outstanding borrowings, since entering into our inaugural US Bank syndicated facility in October of 2020. The effective interest rate for this credit facility including deferred issuance costs is 3.48%. In relation to this transaction, the Company accounted for costs related to fees paid of $1,496. This was accounted for as a debt modification and $1,346 of fees paid to banks were capitalized as deferred cost of financing and $150 paid to third parties recorded as an operating expense on the consolidated statements of operations for the year 2021. In March 2022 we voluntarily prepaid $15 million of capital to this credit facility which has decreased our net leverage ratio and triggered a step down in the applicable interest rate spread to 1.5%.
We anticipate that working capital will continue be a net benefit to cash flow for the full year 2022, which in addition to our current liquidity position, provides ample flexibility to service our obligations through the next twelve months.
Capital Resources
We transform glass and aluminum into high specification architectural glass and custom-made aluminum profiles which require significant investments in state-of-the-art technology. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we made investments primarily in building and construction, and machinery and equipment in the amounts of $33.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively.
On May 3, 2019, we consummated a joint venture agreement with Saint-Gobain, a world leader in the production of float glass, a key component of our manufacturing process, whereby we acquired a 25.8% minority ownership interest in Vidrio Andino, a Colombia-based subsidiary of Saint-Gobain. The purchase price for our interest in Vidrio Andino was $45 million, of which $34.1 million was paid in cash and $10.9 million to be paid through the contribution of land once a complete assessment of the project timing is completed based on the overall market conditions as they relate to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On October 28, 2020 the land was paid for through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,557,142 ordinary shares of the Company, at $7.00 per share, which represented an approximate 33% premium based on last sale price as of October 27, 2020.
The joint venture agreement includes plans to build a new plant in Galapa, Colombia that will be located approximately 20 miles from our primary manufacturing facility, in which we will also have a 25.8% interest. The new plant will be funded with proceeds from the original cash contribution made by the Company, operating cashflows from the Bogota plant, debt incurred at the joint venture level that will not consolidate into the Company and an additional contribution by us of approximately $12.5 million to be paid toward the end of the two-year construction period, if needed (based on debt availability as a first option).

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, operating activities generated approximately $63.0 million and $60.1 million, respectively. The positive cashflow from operations during the first half of 2022 has been related to a much higher profitability year over year, enhanced working capital efforts, reduced interest expense and a more favourable mix of revenues in the single-family residential space which carries a shorter cash cycle and no retainage.
The main source of operating cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was contract assets and liabilities which generated $17.5 million, resulting from a combination of a decrease in retainage as several jobs in the US were finalized, a reduction of unbilled receivables tied to our advance on projects currently in execution, and increase advances received from customers. Comparatively, contract assets and liabilities generated $14.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, trade accounts payables generated $16.5 million in and $23.4 million during the same period of 2021. Cash provided by trade accounts payables is related to increasing purchases to support our growing material needs to support our increased output. The largest use of cash in operating activities was inventories, which used $31.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $2.1 million used during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as we procure materials to support our outgoing growth.

We used $27.2 million and $18.2 million in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The main use of cash in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was related to the automation of our architectural system assembly processes. During the first six months of 2022, we paid $26.3 million to acquire property plant and equipment, which in combination with $5.8 million acquired under credit or debt, amount to total Capital Expenditures of $32.1 million. During 2021, we used $18.3 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. Including assets acquired with debt or supplier credit, total capital expenditures during the period were $19.3 million.
Financing activities used $21.3 million and $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the first quarter of 2022 we voluntarily prepaid $15 million of capital to this credit facility which has decreased our net leverage ratio and triggered a step down in the applicable interest rate spread to 1.5%. Outflows during the first six months of 2021 include the full redemption of the $210 million unsecured senior notes, which bore interest at a rate of 8.2% and matured in 2022, following a step down in redemption price at the end of January 2021, along with $8.6 million for the corresponding call premium. These payments were made with proceeds of the new Senior Secured Credit Facility for up to $300 million, of which we received proceeds of $220 million during the six-month period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to ongoing market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity market prices.
A rise in interest rates could negatively affect the cost of financing for a significant portion of our debt with variable interest rates. If interest rates were to increase over the next 12 months by 100 basis points, net earnings would decrease by approximately $0.6 million based the current composition of our indebtedness. This market risk exposure is net of the effect from interest rate hedging derivative financial instruments further described in the footnotes to the financial statements.
We are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Some of our subsidiaries’ operations are based in Colombia, and primarily transact business in local currency. Approximately 3% of our consolidated revenues and 35% of our costs and expenses are denominated in Colombian pesos, thereby mitigating some of the risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. However, as our costs and expenses in Colombian Pesos exceed, a 5% appreciation of the Colombian Peso relative to the US Dollar would result in our annual revenues increasing by $0.5 million and our costs and expenses increasing by approximately $10.7 million, resulting in a $10.2 million decrease to net earnings based on results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Similarly, a significant portion of the monetary assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are generally denominated in US Dollars, while their functional currency is the Colombian peso, thereby resulting in gains or losses from remeasurement of assets and liabilities using end of period spot exchange rate. These subsidiaries have both monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in US Dollars, thereby mitigating some of the risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rate. Furthermore, we record a portion of the non-cash foreign currency transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of certain intercompany loans as other comprehensive income. Net of this, the Colombian subsidiaries’ US Dollar denominated monetary assets exceed their monetary liabilities by $32.3 million, such that a 1% devaluation of the Colombian peso will result in a loss of $0.3 million recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as of June 30, 2022.
Additionally, the results of the foreign subsidiaries have to be translated into US Dollar, our reporting currency, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The currency translation of the financial statements using different exchange rates, as appropriate, for different parts of the financial statements generates a translation adjustment, which is recorded within other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We are also subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the prices of aluminum, one of the principal raw materials used for our manufacturing. The commodities markets, which include the aluminum industry, are highly cyclical in nature, and as a result, prices can be volatile. Commodity costs are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, the availability of raw materials, competition, labor costs, freight and transportation costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions. Our selling prices are also impacted by changes in commodity costs base our pricing of aluminum products based on the quoted price on the London Metals Exchange plus a manufacturing premium with the intention of aligning cost of our raw materials with selling prices to attempt to pass commodity price changes through to our customers.
We cannot accurately estimate the impact a one percent change in the commodity costs of would have on our results of operation, as the change in commodity costs would both impact the cost to purchase materials and our selling prices. The impact to our results of operations depends on the conditions of the market for our products, which could impact our ability to pass commodities costs to our customers.
