Business Segments and Product Lines:
- Multi-family and commercial business drove 31% growth, fueled by execution on a record backlog.

Market and Competitive Landscape:

Risks and Challenges:
- Gross margins were pressured by elevated aluminum costs, ongoing tariffs, and a Colombian Peso at its strongest level since 2018.
- A stronger Colombian Peso (appreciating approximately 20% year-over-year) drove approximately 580 basis points of the 860 basis point decline in gross margin.
- Roughly 250 basis points of the margin decline was attributed to a non-cash inventory revaluation of approximately $8.4 million.
- Higher raw material costs from U.S. aluminum purchased at peak prices earlier in the year impacted margins.
- Unfavorable mix from a higher level of installation revenue and higher labor costs related to the annual minimum wage adjustment in Colombia affected results.
- Non-cash foreign exchange transaction losses of $3.3 million impacted net income in the quarter.

- CEO José Manuel Daes expressed pleasure at delivering record revenues and noted that higher volumes drew on aluminum purchased at peak prices, though lower levels have since been secured.
- Management stated that excluding the non-cash inventory revaluation, Adjusted EBITDA was ahead of internal expectations.
- COO Christian Daes highlighted the record backlog and consistent execution on a growing pipeline of multi-family and commercial projects.
- CFO Santiago Giraldo stated the company remains well-positioned to invest in growth while returning capital to shareholders due to a conservative debt profile and strong cash generation.
- The tone was confident regarding the ability to unlock value and offset tariff impacts in 2027.
