of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking

statements. 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

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. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking

statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to update any

forward-looking statement to reflect events or developments after the date on which the

future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

This presentation includes unaudited non-GAAP financial measures including total

billings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define total

billings as the total amounts we have invoiced our customers for products and services

for which we are entitled to payment under the terms of our long-term supply

agreements or other contractual agreements. We define EBITDA as net income (loss)

attributable to the Company plus interest expense (including losses on the

extinguishment of debt and net of interest income), income taxes and depreciation and

amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share-based

compensation expense, plus or minus any gains or losses from foreign currency

remeasurement. We define net cash (debt) as the total principal amount of debt

outstanding less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We define free cash flow as

net cash flow generated 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.

This presentation also contains estimates and other information concerning our industry

that are based on industry publications, surveys and forecasts. This information involves

a number of assumptions and limitations, and we have not independently verified the

accuracy or completeness of the information.

TPI typically renegotiates and extends contracts

more than a year in advance of expiration in

conjunction with blade model transitions

Provisions allowing for reductions in lines generally

provide for adequate time to replace a customer if

a line reduction option is exercised

Demand in locations where TPI already has a

foothold (China, Turkey, Mexico) provides a

substantial opportunity for synergies in the

construction of new facilities

TPI continues to expand its manufacturing facilities

globally to meet increased demand

Outsourced Insourced

Vertically integrated OEMs have begun to outsource wind blade

manufacturing due to:

• global talent constraints

• the need for efficient capital allocation

• the need to accelerate access to emerging markets

• the need for supply chain optimization

Some have sold or shuttered in-house tower and blade manufacturing

facilities in favor of an outsourced manufacturer

Geographically distributed, high precision blade manufacturing is more cost

effective when performed by diversified, specialized manufacturers

TPI is the only independent manufacturer of composite wind blades with a

global footprint and is well positioned to capitalize on global industry trends

Expected to continue to outsource a significant

percentage of blade needs notwithstanding
