EXHIBIT 99.1

TPI Composites, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Results – Operational Execution and Strategic Initiatives Drive Improved Profitability

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TPI Composites, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPIC), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“The third quarter marked a significant improvement for the company, showcasing improved profitability with positive adjusted EBITDA. This improvement was largely driven by 89% utilization in our plants as we made progress on transitioning/starting up ten lines with next-generation workhorse blades. Our results also benefited from eliminating losses that had been burdening our financial performance by divesting the Automotive business and shutting down the Nordex Matamoros plant at the end of the second quarter of this year. Sales reached $380.8 million, reflecting 23% sequential, quarterly growth, and positioning us well to achieve the mid-point of our full-year sales guidance,” said Bill Siwek, President and CEO of TPI Composites.”

“We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the long-term growth expected in the U.S. onshore wind market as well as to capitalize on the growth with the blades we now have in production. We expect strong demand in the U.S. in the near term that will push our plants in Mexico to near capacity utilization in 2025. We have also agreed with GE Vernova to reopen our Iowa plant in mid-2025 and we have secured additional capacity in the U.S. to meet the needs of our customers. Outside of the U.S. market, we expect that we will continue to face some inflationary challenges in Türkiye and brisk competitive challenges from Chinese manufacturers and therefore our near-term volumes in those regions are still a bit fluid. While our operating environment is pretty dynamic right now, we believe our strong focus on safety, quality, LEAN and technological innovation will allow us to continue to successfully compete at the highest level in the long term.”

Third Quarter 2024 Results and Recent Business Highlights

  • Net Sales totaled $380.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 2.8% over the same period last year.
  • Net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $38.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $43.0 million in the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million in the same period last year.
  • Line startup and transitions are fully executed with all ten lines producing next-generation blades.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results from Continuing Operations

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased 2.8% to $380.8 million as compared to $370.2 million in the same period in 2023 due to the following:

  • Net Sales of wind blades, tooling and other wind related sales (“Wind”) increased by $6.9 million, or 1.9%, to $369.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $362.2 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher average sales prices of wind blades due to changes in the mix of wind blade models produced, in particular the startup of production at one of our previously idled facilities in Juarez, Mexico, favorable foreign currency fluctuations, and an increase in wind blade inventory included in contract assets driven by the startups and transitions. The increase in wind blade inventory directly correlates to higher sales under the cost-to-cost revenue recognition method for our wind blade contracts. This increase was partially offset by a 10% decrease in the number of wind blades produced due primarily to the number and pace of startups and transitions and expected volume declines based on market activity levels.
  • Field service, inspection and repair services (“Field Services”) sales increased $3.7 million, or 45.8%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $8.0 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was due primarily to the return of technicians deployed to revenue generating projects versus time spent on non-revenue generating inspection and repair activities.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $38.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $43.0 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by the absence of losses from our Nordex Matamoros facility, which was shut down at the end of the second quarter of 2024, lower charges for changes in estimate for pre-existing warranties, a reduction in general and administrative cost due to lower employee compensation costs, an increase in revenue, benefits from foreign currency fluctuations, and a lower income tax provision. These improvements were partially offset by increased labor cost in Türkiye and Mexico, higher start up and transition costs, and higher asset impairments from our tooling business. In addition, the net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024 includes $24.2 million of interest expense compared to $1.6 million of interest expense and $16.0 million of preferred stock dividends and accretion in the same period in 2023 as result of the Oaktree refinancing of their preferred stock into a senior term loan in December of 2023.

The net loss from continuing operations per common share was $0.81 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss per common share of $1.01 for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million during the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 2.1% as compared to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 0.1% during the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the absence of losses from our Nordex Matamoros facility, which was shut down at the end of the second quarter of 2024, benefits from foreign currency fluctuations, lower charges for changes in estimate for pre-existing warranties, a reduction in general and administrative cost due to lower employee compensation costs, and an increase in revenue. These improvements were partially offset by increased labor cost in Türkiye and Mexico and higher start up and transition costs.

Net cash provided by operating activities improved by $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA in the current period and other working capital changes, partially offset by an increase in cash paid for taxes and interest.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to capital expenditures for the startup and transition of our manufacturing lines at our facilities in Mexico and Türkiye and the sale of our Taicang, China facility in the prior year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements, among other things, concerning: growth of the wind energy and electric vehicle markets and our addressable markets for our products and services; effects on our financial statements and our financial outlook; our business strategy, including anticipated trends and developments in and management plans for our business and the wind industry and other markets in which we operate; competition; future financial results, operating results, revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, profitability, products, projected costs, warranties, our ability to improve our operating margins, and capital expenditures. These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “goal,” “target,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “predict,” “continue” and the negative or plural of these words and other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and our projections about future events. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed in “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports that we will file with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Definitions
This press release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including losses on the extinguishment of debt and net of interest income), income taxes and depreciation and amortization, preferred stock dividends and accretion less gain on extinguishment on series A preferred stock. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share-based compensation expense, any foreign currency income or losses, any gains or losses on the sale of assets and asset impairments and any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as the total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non-GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP.

We provide forward-looking statements in the form of guidance in our quarterly earnings releases and during our quarterly earnings conference calls. This guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis and cannot be reconciled to the closest GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non-GAAP measures. For example, stock-based compensation is unpredictable for our performance-based awards, which can fluctuate significantly based on current expectations of future achievement of performance-based targets. Amortization of intangible assets and restructuring costs are all impacted by the timing and size of potential future actions, which are difficult to predict. In addition, from time to time, we exclude certain items that occur infrequently, which are also inherently difficult to predict and estimate. It is also difficult to predict the tax effect of the items we exclude and to estimate certain discrete tax items, like the resolution of tax audits or changes to tax laws. As such, the costs that are being excluded from non-GAAP guidance are difficult to predict and a reconciliation or a range of results could lead to disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading. Material changes to any one of the exclusions could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. See Table Four for a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

Because forward - looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as guarantees of future events. Further information on the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results and the forward - looking statements in this presentation are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be included in subsequent periodic and current reports we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward - looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change.

You should, therefore, not rely on these forward - looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this presentation. Our forward - looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make. This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define EBITDA, a non - GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss from continuing operations plus interest expense net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preferred stock dividends and accretion less gain on extinguishment on series A preferred stock. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share - based compensation expense, plus or minus any foreign currency losses or income, plus or minus any losses or gains from the sale of assets and asset impairments, plus any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See the Appendix for the reconciliations of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

14 Appendix – Non - GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cas h flow. We define EBITDA, a non - GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss from continuing operations plus interest expense net, income taxes, depreciati on and amortization, preferred stock dividends and accretion less gain on extinguishment on series A preferred stock. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any sh are - based compensation expense, plus or minus any foreign currency losses or income, plus or minus any losses or gains from the sale of assets and a sse t impairments, plus any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt ou tst anding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to si milar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. We provide forward - looking statements in the form of guidance in our quarterly earnings releases and during our quarterly earnin gs conference calls. This guidance is provided on a non - GAAP basis and cannot be reconciled to the closest GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the un predictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non - GAAP measures. For example, stock - based compensation is unpredictable f or our performance - based awards, which can fluctuate significantly based on current expectations of future achievement of performance - based targets. Amor tization of intangible assets and restructuring costs are all impacted by the timing and size of potential future actions, which are difficult to predict. In a ddi tion, from time to time, we exclude certain items that occur infrequently, which are also inherently difficult to predict and estimate. It is also difficult to predict the tax ef fect of the items we exclude and to estimate certain discrete tax items, like the resolution of tax audits or changes to tax laws. As such, the costs that are being exclu ded from non - GAAP guidance are difficult to predict and a reconciliation or a range of results could lead to disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading . M aterial changes to any one of the exclusions could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. See below for a reconciliation of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures. Q3 2024
