TPI Composites reports Q2 EPS ($1.30) vs.($1.75) last year

Reports Q2 revenue $309.8M, consensus $312.94M. “In the second quarter we were able to complete the divestiture of our Automotive business and we closed the Nordex Matamoros plant for Nordex, two loss making businesses that have negatively impacted TPI’s performance. We also continued the ramp of ten lines either in startup or transition. As these lines enter serial production and utilization increases, combined with the divestiture of the Automotive business and shut down of the Nordex Matamoros plant, we are positioned to return the company to profitability and positive free cash flow in the second half of the year,” said Bill Siwek, President and CEO of TPI Composites. “We remain steadfast in our approach to control costs, drive productivity and prepare for the growth of the wind market. We are reaffirming our guidance for the full year 2024, however, we are narrowing our adjusted EBITDA guidance to the low end of the range to reflect the cost of shutting down the Nordex Matamoros plant instead of transitioning it back to them at the end of the second quarter as originally anticipated.”
