Management Commentary
“Q2 was another quarter of topline regulated revenue growth generated by our core water, wastewater and recycled water services,” commented Global Water Resources president and CEO, Ron Fleming. “The 3.9% increase in revenue reflected a 4.9% increase in active service connections to 63,256 and was our fourth consecutive quarter of accelerated organic connection growth.

“While our operating expenses have increased due to inflation and the growth we’ve been experiencing, it is important to remind our stakeholders that we are filing a rate case for our two largest utilities in 2025, with 2024 being the test year.

“During the quarter, we announced our plans to acquire seven water systems from the City of Tucson that would expand our service area in Pima County by approximately 2,200 water service connections. We believe we remain on track to complete this acquisition by early next year, subject to customary closing conditions and approval by the ACC.

“We continue to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities within Arizona’s Sun Corridor; however, organic growth will always be our primary focus. Such organic growth includes adding connections through our existing service areas as well as appropriate rate increases.

“Our service areas in Arizona's Sun Corridor showed signs of significant growth in the first half of this year, with single-family permits increasing by 169 or 43% in the City of Maricopa and up 4,313 or 43% across Greater Phoenix as compared to the first half of last year. It is also worth noting that multi-family housing permits in the City of Maricopa increased by 861 or 273% in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023.

“Our rate case hearing for our utilities located in the Saguaro District was completed in June with a favorable outcome, and we filed a new rate case for Farmers Water in June. We also plan to file a rate case in 2025 for our largest utilities in Pinal County, with 2024 as the test year.

“We believe the accelerating organic growth rate of active service connection will continue to be supported by favorable macro trends. Arizona is projected to add 478,000 jobs with an annual growth rate of 1.4% over the next eight years, exceeding the national average. According to the state’s commerce authority, Arizona also received $40.7 billion in investments last year, including contributions from major industry players such as Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Procter & Gamble.

“We further believe these favorable macro trends suggest that we remain well-positioned for growth in the metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson. We anticipate the planned service areas to potentially generate hundreds of thousands of new service connections for our utilities upon completion of buildout.

“Looking ahead, we anticipate another strong second half for Global Water. Our positive outlook is bolstered by our commitment to providing exceptional water services and advancing our mission to expand and consolidate water and wastewater utilities. Amid the challenges of water scarcity, strict regulations and aging infrastructure, we remain focused on bringing the benefits of consolidation, regionalization, and proactive environmental stewardship to the growing communities we serve. We believe this focus will drive greater shareholder value over the long term.”

Q2 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues

Revenues in the second quarter of 2024 increased $0.5 million or 3.9% to $13.5 million compared to $13.0 million in the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the 4.9% organic growth in active connections (including both water and wastewater connections), partially offset by a slight decrease in overall consumption.

Revenues for the first half of 2024 decreased $1.0 million or 3.9% to $25.1 million, primarily attributable to the recognition of $2.3 million of unregulated revenue related to infrastructure coordination and financing agreements (ICFA) during the prior year period that did not recur in the first half of 2024. Regulated revenue increased by $1.3 million or 5.3% primarily from organic connection growth.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 increased approximately $0.7 million or 7.2% to $10.7 million compared to $10.0 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily related to salaries and wages, utilities and chemicals, medical insurance expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. The increased operating expenses were partially offset by decreased deferred compensation.

Operating expenses for the first half of 2024 increased approximately $1.7 million or 8.9% to $21.1 million compared to $19.3 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily related to salaries and wages, medical insurance expenses, utilities and chemicals, higher regulatory costs, and increased depreciation and amortization expense. The increased operating expenses were partially offset by decreased deferred compensation and lower professional fees.

Other Expense

Total other expense was $0.5 million in the second quarter of both 2024 and 2023.

Total other expense in the first half of 2024 decreased $0.2 million or 19.4% to $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was related to the $0.4 million increase of income associated with Buckeye growth premiums as a result of additional new meter connections in the area and a $0.5 million increase in interest income, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $0.6 million during the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023.

Net Income

Net income totaled $1.7 million or $0.07 per share in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023.

Net income was $2.4 million or $0.10 per share in the first half of 2024 compared to net income of $4.2 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the first half of 2023. The primary driver for the decrease was the recognition of $2.3 million of ICFA related revenue in the first half of 2023 that did not recur in the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.1 million or 1.2% to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $6.7 million in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.3 million or 2.7% to $12.2 million in the first half of 2024 compared to $11.9 million in the same period in 2023.

Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.1 million at June 30, 2024, and the company had full access to its unused $15 million revolving line of credit as of such date. As of June 30, 2024, the company had no notable near-term cash expenditures other than semiannual principal payments on Series B senior secured notes in the amount of $1.9 million due in both December 2024 and June 2025.

Dividend Policy

The company recently declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.02508 per common share (or $0.30096 per share on an annualized basis), which will be payable on August 31, 2024 to holders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2024.

Business Strategy

Global Water's near-term growth strategy involves increasing service connections, improving operating efficiencies, and increasing utility rates as approved by the ACC. The company plans to continue to aggregate water and wastewater utilities, enabling the company and its customers to realize the benefits of consolidation, regionalization, and environmental stewardship.

Connection Rates

As of June 30, 2024, active service connections increased by 2,965, or 4.9%, to 63,256, compared to 60,291 at June 30, 2023. The increase in active service connections was primarily due to organic growth in connections.

Arizona Growth Corridor: Positive Population and Economic Trends

Global Water continues to experience an increasing rate of organic growth, which excludes acquisition related growth, evidenced by its year over year increase in active connections of 4.9% as compared to 1.9% for the same period in 2023. According to the most recent U.S. Census estimates, the Phoenix metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is the 10th largest MSA in the U.S. and had an estimated population of 5.1 million, an increase of 4.6% over the 4.8 million people reported in the 2020 Census.

Metropolitan Phoenix continues to grow due to its favorable employment opportunities, excellent weather, large and growing universities, a diverse employment base, and low taxes. The Employment and Population Statistics Department of the State of Arizona predicts that the Phoenix metropolitan area will have a population of 5.8 million people by 2030 and 6.5 million by 2040. Arizona’s job growth increased by 2.2% during the first six months of 2024 as compared to the same period for the prior year, ranking the state in the top 10 nationally as of June 30, 2024.

According to the W.P. Carey School of Business Greater Phoenix Blue Chip Real Estate Consensus Panel (the “Greater Phoenix Blue Chip Panel”), interest rate shock negatively impacted permit activity in the Phoenix metropolitan area, particularly between July 2022 and June 2023. Further, the Greater Phoenix Blue Chip Panel concluded that the recovery from that interest rate shock resulted in permit activity increasing by more than 44% in the first five months of 2024. The Greater Phoenix Blue Chip Panel anticipates single family permit growth by more than 27% for 2024 as a whole. Further, single family permits in the City of Maricopa increased 43% for the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Management believes that Global Water is well-positioned to benefit from the growth expected in the Phoenix metropolitan area due to the availability of lots, existing infrastructure in place within its services areas, and increased activity related to multi-family developments.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized measures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share. EBITDA is defined for the purposes of this press release as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the gain or loss related to (i) nonrecurring events; (ii) option expense related to awards made to management; (iii) restricted stock expense related to awards made to employees and the board of directors; (iv) disposal of assets; and (v) ICFA revenue recognition. Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share reflect net income and basic or diluted, as applicable, earnings per common share excluding (i) ICFA revenue; (ii) the amortization related to ICFA intangible assets; and (iii) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable.

Management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are useful supplemental measures of our operating performance and provide our investors meaningful measures of overall corporate performance. EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it is frequently used by investment analysts, investors, and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are also presented because management believes that they provide our investors additional measures of our recurring core business. However, non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and investors are cautioned that non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share, should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss or other income statement data (which are determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. Management's method of calculating EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per common share, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share may differ materially from the method used by other companies and accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income to net income, and a reconciliation of adjusted basic earnings per common share and adjusted diluted earnings per common share to basic or diluted, as applicable, earnings per common share, the most comparable GAAP measures, is included in the schedules attached to this press release.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

These statements are based on our current beliefs or expectations and are inherently subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in political, economic, business, market, regulatory, and other factors. Additional risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, whether all conditions precedent in the asset purchase agreement to acquire the seven public water systems from the City of Tucson will be satisfied, including the receipt of ACC approval, and other risks to consummation of the acquisition, including circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the asset purchase agreement and the risk that the transaction will not be consummated without undue delay, cost or expense, or at all. Factors that may also affect future results are disclosed under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
