Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 3, 2020, TPI Composites, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release
announcing that as a result of the uncertainty relating to the magnitude and
duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is updating its financial
guidance issued on February 27, 2020 for the year ending December 31, 2020 such
that the Company now expects that Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December
31, 2020 will be at the lower end of its previously announced range of $100
million to $125 million based on what it knows today. The Company also announced
that it will provide a further update on the impact of COVID-19 on its
liquidity, business operations, financial condition and results of operations in
its first quarter 2020 earnings release, during its first quarter 2020 earnings
call and in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The press
release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company remains focused on its liquidity to ensure the long-term
viability of the Company until the pandemic abates. To that end, the Company has
cash of approximately $110 million and net debt of approximately $113 million as
of March 31, 2020, along with total availability under its various debt
facilities of approximately $77 million for total liquidity in excess of $180
million. The Company defines net debt as (i) cash and cash equivalents less (ii)
total debt and debt issuance costs, which debt and debt issuance costs totaled
approximately $223 million as of March 31, 2020.
The information furnished in this Current Report on Form 8-K in Item 2.02 and
Item 9.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed "filed"
for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it
be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On April 3, 2020, the Company also announced that it is currently operating
its Chennai, India, manufacturing facility with a skeleton staff through April
15, 2020 and that it will temporarily operate its Matamoros, Mexico facility at
reduced capacity beginning on April 3, 2020 through April 30, 2020. The Company
also stated that it will operate its Izmir, Turkey manufacturing facilities at
approximately 50% capacity during the first half of April. The Company's
decision to temporarily reduce or suspend production at these manufacturing
facilities is due primarily to certain applicable government-mandated stay at
home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in demands from
its unions in Matamoros and Turkey to either stop or reduce production. These
temporary reductions and suspensions of production may last longer than the
Company currently anticipates if the government-mandated stay at home orders are
extended. The Company currently is operating its other manufacturing facilities
at normal production levels, including its manufacturing facilities in China.
