We continue to experience organic growth exhibited through our year-over-year organic increase in active connections (i.e., exclusive of acquisition-related growth) of 2.6% as of March 31, 2026. According to the 2025 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 5.2 million, an increase of 7.9% over the 4.8 million people reported in the 2020 Census. Growth in the Phoenix MSA continues as a result of its 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.

The Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity predicts that the Phoenix metropolitan area will have a population of 5.7 million people by 2030 and 6.3 million by 2040. In addition, the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity also projects statewide employment will increase from approximately 3.5 million jobs in 2024 to approximately 4.0 million jobs in 2034, representing an increase of approximately 0.5 million jobs, or an average annual growth rate of 1.2%, compared with projected annual employment growth of 0.3% for the United States over the same period.

Previous wording

Our organic growth continues to be primarily influenced by the comparatively lower cost of housing in the City of Maricopa relative to other areas within the Phoenix MSA. As of March 2026, the median home sales price in the City of Maricopa was 26% lower than in the City of Phoenix. In addition, preparation work for the construction on the State Route 347 Improvement Project started in April 2026, with construction expected to commence this summer and completion scheduled for 2029. The project represents a transformative investment in regional infrastructure that we believe will enhance safety, improve mobility and support the continued growth of the City of Maricopa and surrounding areas.

On July 8, 2025, the Company’s GW-Ocotillo subsidiary completed the previously announced acquisition of seven water systems from Tucson Water, the City of Tucson’s water utility, in an all-cash transaction for an amended purchase price of approximately $8.1 million. The systems served approximately 2,200 water service connections in and around Pima County with a rate base of approximately $7.7 million at the time of acquisition. The Company adopted Tucson Water’s rates for the acquired water systems, including a previously approved 5.0% rate increase scheduled for July 2026. Following the acquisition, the total number of Global Water customers in Pima County exceeded 7,200. The Company expects the acquired water systems to generate approximately $1.5 million in revenue annually. The Company will integrate the acquired water systems using the same proven approach to consolidation and effective water management implemented in its other acquisitions in Pima County. The Company plans to update the acquired water systems over time with the installation of upgraded AMI, which will include smart meters that enable wireless usage metering, similar to the technology that Global Water has deployed for approximately 90% of its active customers.

In many areas of Arizona (including certain areas that we service), water supplies are limited and, in some cases, current usage rates exceed sustainable levels for certain water resources. We currently rely predominantly on the pumping of groundwater and the generation and delivery of recycled water for non-potable uses to meet future demands in our service areas. At present, groundwater (and recycled water derived from groundwater) is the primary water supply available to us. In addition, regulatory restrictions on the use of groundwater and the development of groundwater wells, lack of available water rights, drought, overuse of local or regional sources of water, protection of threatened species or habitats, or other factors, including climate change, may limit the availability of ground or surface water. In particular, water resource constraints exist in certain areas within Pinal County near and around the City of Maricopa. We have obtained a DAWS in the Maricopa/Casa Grande region (GW-Santa Cruz) for two distinct service areas for approximately 22,900 acre-feet of water use in total. We have significant unused DAWS capacity in the larger service area in the north, including the incorporated City of Maricopa. In a smaller service area southwest of the City of Maricopa within Pinal County, the DAWS coverage is limited and more constrained by state law and groundwater regulations, which may impact developers’ ability to obtain final plat approval if the DAWS is not expanded. While we believe we have sufficient capacity for many years to support connection growth in this area, it is the increase in land entitlement that may exceed the allocation of the smaller service area within the DAWS, which in turn may limit future plat approvals. We are working with our development partners and others to develop long-term solutions for this area. Regardless,

In January 2026, a developer in GW-Santa Cruz’s service area filed their initial application with the ADWR under the new Ag-to-Urban program for the conversion of agricultural land to urban development that allows for the creation of Groundwater Savings Credits (“GSCs”). GW-Santa Cruz is in the process of preparing an application to modify its DAWS to incorporate these GSCs, along with additional recycled water, and is planning to file the application with the ADWR in the second quarter of 2026. The Company anticipates a decision on the application will take approximately 12 to 18 months. If the DAWS modification application is approved, the Company believes this will expand GW-Santa Cruz’s water resource portfolio and provide increased water resource security in addition to providing water for growth in the utility’s service area. There can be no assurance that the ADWR will approve the modification application or on the timing of a decision by the ADWR.

The Series B notes (the “Series B Notes”) carry a principal balance of $67.1 million and bear an interest rate of 4.58%, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, over a 20-year term, with the final principal balance due on June 15, 2036. The Series B Notes were interest only for the first five years, with $1.9 million principal payments paid semi-annually thereafter beginning December 2021.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has no notable near-term cash expenditures, other than for its capital improvement plan, declared dividends and the principal payments for its Series B Notes in the amount of $1.9 million due in both June 2026 and December 2026. While specific facts and circumstances could change, the Company believes that with the cash on hand and the ability to draw on its $20.0 million Revolver, it will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its operating cash flow requirements and capital maintenance needs, whilst remaining in compliance with its financial debt covenants for the next twelve months and beyond. In addition, the Company may choose to raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financing arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures and/or strategic acquisitions for the next twelve months and beyond. However, there are currently no commitments in place for future financing, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our shareholders.

Previous wording

The net cash used in investing activities totaled $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $8.9 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was the result of a planned decrease in capital expenditures in 2026 compared to 2025 under the Company’s capital improvement plan.

Current wording

The net cash used in investing activities totaled $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $35.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

This decrease was primarily driven by the $31.0 million of aggregate proceeds from the issuances of common stock sold in the Company’s public offering, net of issuance costs, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in net AIAC advances and an increase in net Revolver borrowings of $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

This decrease was primarily driven by the $31.0 million of aggregate proceeds from the issuances of common stock sold in the Company’s public offering, net of issuance costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and a $0.4 million increase in dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2026 resulting from a greater number of shares outstanding. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net Revolver borrowings of $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
