(NASDAQ Global Select Market: CWCO), a leading designer, builder and operator of advanced water supply and treatment plants, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. All comparisons are to the same prior year period unless otherwise noted. Consolidated Water will hold a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow to discuss the results (see dial-in information below). Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary Total revenue increased 5% to $35.1 million.Retail revenue increased 2% to $7.8 million.Bulk revenue decreased 4% to $8.4 million.Services revenue increased by 13% to $14.3 million as construction revenue increased 50% to $6.4 million and operations and maintenance (O&M) revenue increased 3% to $7.7 million.Manufacturing revenue increased by 7% to $4.7 million.Net income from continuing operations attributable to company stockholders totaled $5.6 million or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million or $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024.Including discontinued operations, net income attributable to company stockholders totaled $5.5 million or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $4.5 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024.Cash and cash equivalents increased to $123.6 million and working capital increased to $141.7 million as of September 30, 2025. Third Quarter Operational Highlights Retail water sold by the company’s Grand Cayman water utility increased 6% due to significantly less rainfall on Grand Cayman during this past quarter compared to the third quarter of 2024 and an increase in total number of customer service connections.The company was awarded two water treatment plant construction projects, including a drinking water plant expansion in Colorado and a wastewater recycling plant in California. The revenue attributable to these projects are expected to be realized primarily in 2026, and the combined value of these projects totals approximately $15.6 million.Design of the company’s $204 million project to design, construct, operate and maintain a 1.7 million gallon per day seawater desalination plant in Kalaeloa, Hawaii is now 100% complete, which helps pave the way to begin construction once all permits have been obtained. Management Commentary “In Q3, our diversified water business model, which includes regulated utility operations, design and construction services, O&M services and manufacturing, continued to perform well,” commented Consolidated Water CEO, Rick McTaggart. “As a result, our consolidated revenue increased by 5% and our fully diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 10% compared to the same year-ago period. “The continued strength of the economy and lower rainfall on Grand Cayman resulted in our retail segment revenue up about 2% compared to the same year ago quarter, on about a 6% increase in water volume sold. While bulk segment revenue decreased slightly this past quarter due to lower fuel pass-through charges, bulk profitability increased in dollars and gross profit percentage due to lower costs of revenue reflecting our unwavering focus on operational excellence. “Our services segment revenue increased by $1.6 million or 13% due to a $2.1 million increase in construction revenue from two projects, and to a lesser extent from a $223,000 increase in recurring revenue from O&M contracts. These revenue increases were partially offset by a decline in consulting revenue of $720,000 due to the completion in the fourth quarter of 2024 of a major plant commissioning and startup project. “Earlier this month, we announced that we had secured a contract valued at $11.7 million to construct a wastewater recycling plant for a San Francisco Bay Area golf club. This innovative project, which will convert untreated wastewater to irrigation water, is expected to save 36 to 38 million gallons per year of potable water. We expect revenue from this project to be recognized primarily in 2026. “During the quarter, our manufacturing segment continued its improved performance. Manufacturing revenue grew by 7% and gross margin increased to 40%, which reflects the production this past quarter of primarily higher margin products for nuclear power and municipal water clients, as well as our continued focus on maximizing production efficiency and capacity. The completion of our new 17,500-square-foot manufacturing facility expansion this past quarter is expected to further enhance efficiency and throughput. As previously reported, we hold NQA-1 certifications from two major nuclear industry companies and see renewed interest in U.S. nuclear power solutions. These specialized manufacturing qualifications position us for continued growth. “Design of the 1.7 million gallon per day seawater desalination plant for the Honolulu Board of Water Supply in Kalaeloa, Hawaii is now 100% complete and we are focused on obtaining the remaining permits needed to allow our client to issue a notice to proceed with construction of the project. We continue to anticipate that construction of the project will commence early next year. We see this major construction phase substantially adding to our revenue and earnings growth in 2026 and 2027. “In October, we welcomed Kim Adamson, Maria Elena Giner, and Gerónimo Gutiérrez Fernández to our board of directors. Their combined expertise in water utility operations and governance, large‑scale infrastructure delivery and capital program management, and international infrastructure finance and policy greatly strengthens our corporate governance and overall expertise related to our business. We expect their experience to accelerate execution of our strategic priorities, enhance oversight of capital programs, and drive long‑term shareholder value. “Looking ahead, our strong balance sheet and ample liquidity enable us to fund growth initiatives, and we believe our diversified business across segments will continue to deliver improved results to shareholders.” Q3 2025 Financial Results Revenue totaled $35.1 million, increasing 5% from $33.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was due to increases of $184,000 in the retail segment, $1.6 million in the services segment and $305,000 in the manufacturing segment. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $373,000 in the bulk segment. Retail revenue increased due to a 6% increase in the volume of water sold. The decrease in bulk segment revenue was due to a decline in energy-related revenue in the Bahamas operations. The increase in services segment revenue was primarily due to plant construction revenue increasing from $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 to $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. Services segment revenue generated under O&M contracts totaled $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 3% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was a result of increased revenue generated by an expanded scope of services for a U.S. Federal client. Manufacturing segment revenue increased by $305,000, or 7%, to $4.7 million, as compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Gross profit for 2025 was $12.9 million (37% of total revenue), as compared to $11.6 million (35% of total revenue) in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was due to increases in retail, services and manufacturing revenue, as well as decreased cost of revenue for the bulk segment. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Consolidated Water stockholders for the third quarter of 2025 was $5.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Including discontinued operations, net income attributable to Consolidated Water stockholders for the third quarter of 2025 was $5.5 million or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $123.6 million as of September 30, 2025, with working capital of $141.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $220.4 million. First Nine Months 2025 Financial Results Revenue for the first nine months of 2025 was $102.4 million, a decrease of 3% from $105.6 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was due to decreases of $6.2 million in the services segment and $476,000 in the bulk segment. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $1.4 million in the retail segment and $2.1 million in the manufacturing segment. Retail revenue increased due to a 9% increase in the volume of water sold. The decrease in bulk segment revenue was partly due to a decline in energy-related revenue in the Bahamas operations. The decrease in services segment revenue was primarily due to plant construction revenue decreasing from $17.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 to $11.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 primarily as a result of two construction projects that were completed in the first half of 2024. Construction revenue recognized on the Hawaii contract also declined by $3.1 million in 2025 due to the completion of the pilot plant testing phase of the project. These decreases in construction revenue were partially offset by construction revenue generated under new contracts. Revenue generated under operations and maintenance contracts totaled $23.7 million in the first nine months of 2025, an increase of 9% from the first nine months of 2024. The increase was a result of incremental revenue generated by both PERC and REC. Manufacturing segment revenue increased by $2.1 million to $15.7 million as compared to $13.6 million in the first nine months of 2024. Gross profit for 2025 was $38.1 million (37% of total revenue), as compared to $37.1 million (35% of total revenue) in the first nine months of 2024. The increase was due to an increase in gross profit for the retail, bulk and manufacturing segments. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit of $2.2 million for the services segment primarily as a result of the decrease in construction revenue. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Consolidated Water stockholders for the first nine months of 2025 was $15.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.1 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2024. Including discontinued operations, net income attributable to Consolidated Water stockholders for the first nine months of 2025 was $15.4 million or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.8 million or $1.68 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was due to discontinued operations, as the company recognized a gain on sale of the land and documentation for the discontinued project in Mexico totaling $12.1 million in the year-ago period.
