In the fourth quarter, total revenues surged 23.1% to $239.6 million, driven by multi-family/commercial growth and a 21.3% increase in single-family residential sales. Gross margin expanded to 44.5%, benefiting from stronger pricing, stable raw material costs, and operational efficiencies. Net income for the quarter was $47 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $49.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA reached $79.2 million, with a margin of 33.1%.
The company's backlog grew 27.6% year-over-year to a record $1.1 billion, reflecting strong demand across markets.

Tecnoglass ended the year with a net cash position after paying down $65 million in debt and returning $19.7 million to shareholders through dividends.
For 2025, the company projects 10% revenue growth and 16% adjusted EBITDA growth at the midpoint of guidance, with revenues expected between $940 million and $1.02 billion. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted between $300 million and $340 million, with an anticipated gross margin in the low-to-mid 40% range. The outlook accounts for stable foreign exchange rates, continued growth in vinyl window sales, and mitigating actions for potential U.S. aluminum tariffs.
