  • f 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

  • ur Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The forward-looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date

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

  • n

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
  • utstanding 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

  • ther 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

  • f 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.

Existing Contracts Provide for ~$6.4 Billion in Revenue through 2023(1)

Minimum Volume Visibility Mitigates Downside Risk  Minimum Volume Obligations (MVOs) in place requiring the customer to take an agreed upon percentage of total production capacity or pay TPI its equivalent gross margin and operating costs associated with the MVO Incentivized Maximum Customer Volume  Pricing mechanisms encourage customers to purchase 100% of the contract volume, as prices progressively increase as volumes decrease  Customers fund the molds for each production line incentivizing them to maximize TPI’s production capability to amortize their fixed cost Attractive Contract Negotiation Dynamic  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 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023
