FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws relating to future events and future results of SJW Group and its subsidiaries that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about SJW Group and its subsidiaries and the industries in which SJW Group and its subsidiaries operate and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of SJW Group. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “strategy,” or “anticipates,” or the negative of those words or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, but not limited to, the following factors:

•the effect of water, utility, environmental and other governmental policies and regulations, including regulatory actions concerning rates, authorized return on equity, authorized capital structures, capital expenditures and other decisions;

•changes in demand for water and other services;

•unanticipated weather conditions and changes in seasonality including those affecting water supply and customer usage;

•the effect of the impact of climate change;

•unexpected costs, charges or expenses;

•our ability to successfully evaluate investments in new business and growth initiatives;

•contamination of our water supplies and damage or failure of our water equipment and infrastructure;

•the risk of work stoppages, strikes and other labor-related actions;

•catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, terrorist acts, physical attacks, cyber-attacks, epidemic or other similar occurrences;

•changes in general economic, political, business and financial market conditions;

•the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, which can be affected by various factors, including credit ratings, changes in interest rates, compliance with regulatory requirements, compliance with the terms and conditions of our outstanding indebtedness and general market and economic conditions; and

•legislative and general market and economic developments.

Results for a quarter are not indicative of results for a full year due to seasonality and other factors. In addition, actual results are subject to other risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to our overall business, including those more fully described in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance, and speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1.General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Group’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

SJW Group is a holding company with five wholly-owned subsidiaries: San Jose Water Company (“SJWC”), SJWNE LLC, SJWTX, Inc., SJW Land Company, and SJWTX Holdings, Inc. SJWNE LLC is the holding company for Connecticut Water Service, Inc. (“CTWS”) whose wholly-subsidiaries are The Connecticut Water Company (“Connecticut Water”), The Maine Water Company (“Maine Water”), New England Water Utility Services, Inc. (“NEWUS”), and Chester Realty, Inc. SJWTX Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that was formed with the purpose of effecting a corporate reorganization of our water utility operations in Texas. Texas Water Resources, LLC was formed as a subsidiary of SJWTX Holdings, Inc. to hold future wholesale water supply assets. SJWC, Connecticut Water, SJWTX, Inc. doing business as The Texas Water Company (“Texas Water”), Maine Water and NEWUS are referred to as “Water Utility Services”. SJW Land Company and Chester Realty, Inc. are collectively referred to as “Real Estate Services.”

Revenue

Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased precipitation curtail water usage resulting in lower sales.

The major streams of revenue for SJW Group are as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022	2023		2022
Revenue from contracts with customers	$	159,724	148,657	$	295,560	270,434
Alternative revenue programs, net	(2,204)		(2,982)	(3,595)		(4,909)
Other balancing and memorandum accounts, net	(1,617)		2,432	178		4,862
Other regulatory mechanisms, net	(433)		(432)	(824)		234
Rental income	1,416		1,366	2,863		2,722
	$	156,886	149,041	$	294,182	273,343

Real Estate Investments and Nonutility Properties

The major components of real estate investments and nonutility properties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are as follows:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Land	$	918	12,615

In March 2023, SJW Land Company entered into a broker agreement to sell its warehouse buildings and land property located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The company reclassified the Tennessee properties from held-and-used to held-for-sale at March 31,

SJW GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

2023. The company’s intention is to complete the sale of these assets within a twelve month period. The company recorded the Tennessee properties at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell, and also stopped recording depreciation on assets held for sale. The company's broker provided the estimated fair value of the Tennessee properties. The estimated costs to sell was subtracted to estimate the fair value. The resulting net fair value of the Tennessee properties exceeded their carrying value, and accordingly no impairment was recorded.

The sale of the Tennessee properties does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on SJW Group; therefore, the sale does not qualify for treatment as a discontinued operation.

The Tennessee warehouse buildings and land property is included in SJW Group’s “Real Estate Services” reportable segment in Note 9, “Segment and Non-Tariffed Business Reporting”. The following represents the major components of the Tennessee warehouse building and land property recorded in assets held-for-sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023:


	June 30, 2023
Land	$	13,170
Buildings and improvements	44,950

Subtotal	58,120
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	17,270
Total	$	40,850

On February 15, 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) review on a SJWC nonutility property sold in October 2021 was completed and the deferred gain of $5,442 was recognized as gain on sale in the first quarter of 2022.

Fair Value Measurement

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on SJW Group’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of June 30, 2023, approximates their carrying value as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There have been no changes in valuation techniques during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1.

The fair value of SJW Group’s long-term debt was $1,354,865 and $1,294,354 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the company. The book value of long-term debt was $1,563,609 and $1,496,325 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

CTWS’s additional retirement benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plans and retirement contracts are funded by investment assets held by a Rabbi Trust. The fair value of the money market funds, mutual funds and fixed income investments in the Rabbi Trust was $2,808 and $2,809 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common stockholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with restricted common stock awards under SJW Group’s long-term incentive plans, shares potentially issuable under the performance stock plans assumed through the business combination with CTWS, and shares potentially issuable under SJW Group’s employee stock purchase plans. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 1,843 and 4,964 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 10,698 and 15,824 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.

Note 2.Regulatory Matters

Regulatory assets, net are comprised of the following as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Regulatory assets:
Income tax temporary differences, net	$	54,110	43,434

2022 General Rate Case Interim Memorandum Account	15,108		20,650
Cost recovery balancing and memorandum accounts	6,225		16,545
All other balancing and memorandum accounts	3,698		2,749
Water Revenue Adjustment (“WRA”)	(8,063)		(4,488)
Other, net	10,013		9,739
Total regulatory assets, net in Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	135,977		143,343
Less: current regulatory assets, net	5,968		16,068
Total regulatory assets, net, less current portion	$	130,009	127,275

SJWC has established balancing accounts for the purpose of tracking the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. In 2022, SJWC’s general rate case decision approved the use of the Full Cost Balancing Account to track the water supply costs and energy consumption. The MWRAM balancing account tracks the difference between the revenue received for actual metered sales through the tiered volumetric rate and the revenue that would have been received with the same actual metered sales if a uniform rate would have been in effect.

SJWC also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, certain unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency, water conservation, water tariffs, and other approved activities or as directed by the CPUC. The WCMA allows SJWC to track lost revenue, net of related water costs, associated with reduced sales due to water conservation and associated calls for water use reductions. SJWC records the lost revenue captured in the WCMA balancing accounts. Drought surcharges collected are used to offset the revenue losses tracked in the WCMA. Mandatory water conservation requirements from Santa Clara Valley Water District ended on April 11, 2023, which also ended SJWC’s Mandatory Conservation Plan, that included drought allocations and surcharges.

All balancing accounts and memorandum accounts not included for recovery or refund in the current general rate case will be reviewed by the CPUC in SJWC’s next general rate case or at the time an individual account balance reaches a threshold of 2% of authorized revenue, whichever occurs first.

Connecticut Water has been authorized by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to utilize a WRA, a decoupling mechanism, to mitigate risk with changes in demand. The WRA is used to reconcile actual water demands with the demands projected in the most recent general rate case and allows the company to implement a surcharge or surcredit as necessary to recover or refund the revenues approved in the general rate case. The WRA allows the company to defer, as a regulatory asset or liability, the amount by which actual revenues deviate from the revenues allowed in the most recent general rate proceedings.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, SJW Group’s regulatory assets, net, not earning a return primarily included postretirement pensions and the unfunded amount of other medical benefits, and business combination debt premiums, net. The total amount of regulatory assets, net not earning a return at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, either by interest on the regulatory asset/liability or as a component of rate base at the allowed rate of return was $49,958 and $52,066, respectively.

Note 4.Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Liabilities

SJW Group’s contractual obligations and commitments include senior notes, bank term loans, revenue bonds, state revolving fund loans and other obligations. Water Utility Services has received advance deposit payments from its customers and developers on certain construction projects. The refunds of the advance deposit payments constitute an obligation of the respective entities.

Long-term Financing Agreements

In July 2022, SJWC entered into a note purchase agreement with certain affiliates of New York Life Insurance, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, and John Hancock Life Insurance (collectively the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which SJWC will sell an aggregate principal amount of $70,000 of its 4.85% Senior Notes, Series P (“Series P Notes”) to the Purchasers. The Series P Notes are unsecured obligations of SJWC and are due on February 1, 2053. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. The note purchase agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for as long as the Series P Notes are outstanding. The Series P Notes are also subject to customary events of default. The closing of the note purchase agreement occurred on January 25, 2023.

Note 5.Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax benefit was $1,512 and $434, respectively. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $2,368 and $3,435, respectively. The effective consolidated income tax rates were (9)% and 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (1)% and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to the partial release of an uncertain tax position reserve.

In April 2023, the Internal Revenue Service issued additional tax guidance that has allowed the company to revisit certain historical income tax reserves. Pursuant to the issuance of this guidance, which provided additional clarification regarding some of the uncertain tax areas, the company re-evaluated the risk relating to repair deductions. The result of the analysis led to a partial release of an uncertain tax position reserve of $3,087. The release relates to repairs expenditures that are more likely than not to be sustained on audit.

SJW Group had unrecognized tax benefits, before the impact of deductions of state taxes, excluding interest and penalties, of approximately $5,877 and $9,004 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

SJW Group currently does not expect uncertain tax positions to change significantly over the next 12 months, except in the case of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

Note 6.Commitments and Contingencies

SJW Group is subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. There are no pending legal proceedings to which SJW Group or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of its properties is the subject, that are expected to have a material effect on SJW Group’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SJW Group maintains noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for its eligible employees. SJWC and CTWS employees hired before March 31, 2008, and January 1, 2009, respectively, are entitled to benefits under the pension plans based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. For SJWC employees hired on or after March 31, 2008, benefits are determined using a cash balance formula based upon compensation credits and interest credits for each employee. Starting in 2023, Texas Water employees are also eligible to participate under SJWC’s cash balance plan. Certain CTWS employees hired before March 1, 2012, and covered by a plan merged into the CTWS plan in 2013 are also entitled to benefits based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. CTWS employees hired on or after January 1, 2009, are entitled to an additional 1.5% of eligible compensation to their company sponsored savings plan.

In addition, senior management hired before March 31, 2008 for SJWC and January 1, 2009 for CTWS, are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under supplemental executive retirement plans and retirement contracts. SJWC’s senior management hired on or after March 31, 2008, are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under SJWC’s Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan. The supplemental retirement plans and Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan are non-qualified plans in which only senior management and other designated members of management may participate. SJW Group also provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees under employer-sponsored postretirement benefits that are not pension plans.

General:

SJW Group is a holding company with five wholly-owned subsidiaries: San Jose Water Company (“SJWC”), SJWNE LLC, SJWTX, Inc., SJW Land Company, and SJWTX Holdings, Inc.

SJWC is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 232,000 connections that serve a population of approximately one million people in an area comprising approximately 139 square miles in the metropolitan San Jose, California area. The principal business of SJWC consists of the production, purchase, storage, purification, distribution, wholesale, and retail sale of water. SJWC provides water service to customers in portions of the cities of San Jose and Cupertino and in the cities of Campbell, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga and the Town of Los Gatos, and adjacent unincorporated territories, all in the County of Santa Clara in the State of California. SJWC distributes water to customers in accordance with accepted water utility methods which include pumping from storage and gravity feed from high elevation reservoirs. SJWC also provides non-tariffed services under agreements with municipalities and other utilities. These non-tariffed services include water system operations, maintenance agreements, and antenna site leases.

SJWC has utility property including land held in fee, impounding reservoirs, diversion facilities, wells, distribution storage, and all water facilities, equipment, office buildings and other property necessary to serve its customers. Under Section 851 of the California Public Utilities Code, properties currently used and useful in providing utilities services cannot be disposed of unless California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) approval is obtained.

SJWC also has approximately 234 acres of nonutility property which has been identified as no longer used and useful in providing utility services. The majority of the properties are located in the hillside areas adjacent to SJWC’s various watershed properties.

SJWNE LLC is the holding company for Connecticut Water Service, Inc. (“CTWS”). CTWS, headquartered in Connecticut, serves as a holding company for water utility companies providing water service to approximately 141,000 connections that serve a population of approximately 461,000 people in 81 municipalities throughout Connecticut and Maine and more than 3,000 wastewater connections in Southbury, Connecticut. The subsidiaries held by CTWS that provide utility water services are The Connecticut Water Company (“Connecticut Water”) and The Maine Water Company (“Maine Water”). The remaining two CTWS subsidiaries are Chester Realty, Inc., a real estate company in Connecticut, and New England Water Utility Services, Inc., which provides contract water and sewer operations and other water related services.

The properties of CTWS’s subsidiaries consist of land, easements, rights (including water rights), buildings, reservoirs, standpipes, dams, wells, supply lines, water treatment plants, pumping plants, transmission and distribution mains and other facilities and equipment used for the collection, purification, storage and distribution of water throughout Connecticut and Maine. In certain cases, Connecticut Water and Maine Water are or may be a party to limited contractual arrangements for the provision of water supply from neighboring utilities.

SJWTX, Inc., doing business as The Texas Water Company (“Texas Water”), is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 26,000 connections that serve approximately 79,000 people and approximately 900 wastewater connections. In 2022, SJWTX, Inc. filed and was approved with the State of Texas an assumed named certificate to operate under the name The Texas Water Company. Texas Water was previously doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company. Texas Water’s service area comprises more than 268 square miles in Bandera, Blanco, Comal, Hays, Kendall,

Medina and Travis Counties in the growing region between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. Texas Water holds a 25% equity interest in Acequia Water Supply Corporation (“Acequia”). Acequia has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 with Texas Water as the primary beneficiary. As a result, Acequia has been consolidated with Texas Water. Texas Water is undergoing a corporate reorganization to separate regulated operations from non-tariffed activities. In 2021, SJWTX Holdings, Inc. and Texas Water Operation Services LLC (“TWOS”) were formed for the purpose of effecting a corporate reorganization of our water services organization in Texas. TWOS was created for non-tariffed operations and is wholly-owned by SJWTX Holdings, Inc. In the second quarter of 2023, Texas Water Resources, LLC (“TWR”) was formed to hold wholesale water supply assets. SJWTX Holdings, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJW Group, incorporated to hold the investments in Texas Water, TWOS and TWR.

Business Strategy for Water Utility Services:

SJW Group focuses its business initiatives in three strategic areas:

(1)Regional regulated water utility operations;

(2)Regional non-tariffed water utility related services provided in accordance with the guidelines established by the CPUC in California, the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (“PURA”) in Connecticut, the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) in Texas, and the Maine Public Utilities Commission (“MPUC”) in Maine; and

(3)Out-of-region water and utility related services.

As part of our pursuit of the above three strategic areas, we consider from time to time opportunities to acquire businesses and assets. However, we cannot be certain we will be successful in identifying and consummating any strategic business combination or acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, the execution of our business strategy will expose us to different risks than those associated with the current utility operations. We expect to incur costs in connection with the execution of this strategy and any integration of an acquired business could involve significant costs, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the diversion of management’s time and resources, the potential for a negative impact on our financial position and operating results, entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. Any strategic combination or acquisition we decide to undertake may also impact our ability to finance our business, affect our compliance with regulatory requirements, and impose additional burdens on our operations. Any businesses we acquire may not achieve sales, customer growth and projected profitability that would justify the investment. Any difficulties we encounter in the integration process, including the integration of controls necessary for internal control and financial reporting, could interfere with our operations, reduce our operating margins and adversely affect our internal controls. SJW Group cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful or that it will not materially harm operating results or our financial condition.

Please also see Note 10 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for SJW Group’s current acquisition activities.

Real Estate Services:

SJW Group’s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company and Chester Realty, Inc. As noted above, SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and operates commercial buildings in Tennessee. Chester Realty, Inc. owns and operates land and commercial buildings in Connecticut. SJW Land Company and Chester Realty, Inc. manage

income producing and other properties until such time a determination is made to reinvest proceeds from the sale of such properties.

Results of Operations:

Overview

SJW Group’s consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $18,286, an increase of $6,728, or approximately 58%, from $11,558 for the same period in 2022. The increase in net income was primarily driven by rate increases in California and Maine, and the delay in SJWC's 2022 General Rate Case and a decrease in income taxes due to the partial release of uncertain tax position reserve, offset by a decrease from lower customer usage driven primarily by weather conditions, higher water production expenses, and higher debt interest expenses. SJW Group’s consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $29,816, an increase of $14,521, or approximately 95%, from $15,295 for the same period in 2022. The increase in net income was primarily driven by rate increases in California and Maine, and the delay in SJWC's 2022 General Rate Case, a decrease in income taxes due to the partial release of uncertain tax position reserve, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily due to a one-time impact related to amortization on certain Cupertino concession assets in 2022 net of increases in depreciation related to new utility plant additions, offset by a decrease from lower customer usage, a one-time gain on sale of nonutility properties of $5,450 in 2022, and higher water production expenses.

Sources of Water Supply

SJWC’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water, and imported water purchased from Santa Clara Valley Water District (“Valley Water”) under the terms of a master contract with Valley Water expiring in 2051. During normal rainfall years, purchased water provides approximately 40% to 50% of SJWC’s annual production. An additional 40% to 50% of its water supply is pumped from the underground basin which is

subject to a groundwater extraction charge paid to Valley Water. Surface supply, which during a normal rainfall year satisfies about 6% to 8% of SJWC’s annual water supply needs, provides approximately 1% of its water supply in a dry year and approximately 14% in a wet year. In dry years, the decrease in availability of water from surface run-off and diversion and the corresponding increase in purchased and pumped water increases production expenses substantially. The opposite is also true where water production expenses decrease in wet years. In both instances, the impacts of surface water, purchased water, groundwater charges and purchased power are now tracked in SJWC’s Full Cost Balancing Account authorized in the 2022 GRC Decision.

Throughout the three months ended June 30, 2023, Santa Clara County’s drought classification remained at “None.” As a result, Valley Water received 100% allocations of water from the State Water Project (“SWP”) and the U.S Bureau of Reclamation’s Central Valley Project (“CVP”). In prior year period, SWP allocation was 5% of contracted amounts and the CVP allocation was reduced to the Public Health and Safety limit due to an exceptionally dry period beginning in 2022. On July 1, 2023, Valley Water’s 10 reservoirs were 35% of capacity with 19.2 billion gallons of water in storage. Valley Water’s largest reservoir, Anderson, remained drained for a dam seismic retrofit project. Valley Water also reported that the managed groundwater recharge from January to June in the Santa Clara Plain was 181% of the five-year average. The groundwater level in the Santa Clara Plain is approximately 31 feet higher than June 2022. According to Valley Water, the projected total groundwater storage at the end of 2023 is expected to be in the Normal Stage of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

As of June 30, 2023, SJWC’s Lake Elsman was 96.7% of capacity with 1.9 billion gallons of water, approximately 189.1% of the five-year seasonal average. In addition, the rainfall at SJWC’s Lake Elsman was measured at 82.52 inches for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which is 224.2% of the five-year average. SJWC’s Montevina Water Treatment Plant treated 2.9 billion gallons of water through the second quarter, which is 214.7% of the five-year average. SJWC’s Saratoga Water Treatment Plant treated 0.1 billion gallons of water through the second quarter, which is 84.2% of the five-year average. The Saratoga Water Treatment Plant was taken out of service and will remain offline until the next rain season. SJWC believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2023.

On April 11, 2023, Valley Water rescinded its water shortage emergency and 15% mandatory conservation target. Valley Water also established a 15% voluntary call for conservation and retained certain watering and water waste rules. On the same day, SJWC ended its Mandatory Conservation Plan, which included drought allocations and surcharges, and lowered its drought response from Stage 3 to Stage 1. SJWC’s request to continue its WCMA and Water Conservation Expense Memorandum Account (“WCEMA”) under the voluntary call for conservation is pending before the CPUC. SJWC continues to work with Valley Water to promote conservation, educate customers on responsible water use practices, and collaborate on long-range water supply planning.

Connecticut Water’s water sources vary among the individual systems, but overall approximately 80% of the total dependable yield comes from surface water supplies and 20% from wells. In addition, Connecticut Water has water supply agreements to supplement its water supply with the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority and The Metropolitan District that expire 2058 and 2053, respectively.

Texas Water’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells and purchased treated and untreated raw water from local water agencies. Texas Water has long-term agreements with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (“GBRA”), which expire in 2037, 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements, which are take-or-pay contracts, provide Texas Water with an aggregate of 7,650 acre-feet of water per year from Canyon Lake at prices that may be adjusted periodically by GBRA. Texas Water also has raw water supply agreements with the Lower Colorado River Authority and West Travis Public Utility Agency expiring in 2059 and 2046, respectively, to provide for 350 acre-feet of water per year from Lake Austin and the Colorado River, respectively, at prices that may be adjusted periodically by the agencies. Production wells located in a Comal Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, a regulated portion of the Trinity aquifer, are charged a groundwater pump tax based upon usage. In July 2023, Texas Water implemented its Drought Management Plan as approved the PUCT as a result of persistent drought conditions, decreasing water levels in Canyon Lake and groundwater wells, and water production levels operating at near-capacity level.

Water sources at Maine Water vary among the individual systems, but overall approximately 90% of the total dependable yield comes from surface water supplies and 10% from wells. Maine Water has a water supply agreement with the Kennebec Water District expiring in 2040.

The following table presents the change in sources of water supply, in billion gallons, for Water Utility Services:


	Three months ended June 30,		Increase/ (decrease)	% of Total Change		Six months ended June 30,		Increase/ (decrease)	% of Total Change
	2023	2022				2023	2022
Purchased water	5.3	5.3	—	—	%	8.7	9.0	(0.3)	(1)	%
Groundwater	3.2	5.1	(1.9)	(14)	%	5.2	8.9	(3.7)	(16)	%
Surface water	3.6	2.7	0.9	7	%	6.9	5.3	1.6	7	%
Reclaimed water	0.2	0.2	—	—	%	0.2	0.4	(0.2)	(1)	%
	12.3	13.3	(1.0)	(7)	%	21.0	23.6	(2.6)	(11)	%

The changes in the source of supply mix were consistent with the changes in the water production expenses.

SJWC’s unaccounted-for water on a 12-month-to-date basis for June 30, 2023 and 2022 approximated 10.1% and 7.5%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The unaccounted-for water estimate is based on the results of past experience and the impact of flows through the system, partially offset by SJWC’s main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

CTWS’s unaccounted-for water on a 12-month-to-date basis for June 30, 2023 and 2022 approximated 13.8% and 13.5% for each of the respective periods, as a percentage of total production. The unaccounted-for water estimate is based on the results of past experience and the impact of flows through CTWS’s systems, unadjusted for any required system flushing, partially offset by Water Infrastructure Conservation Adjustment and Water Infrastructure Surcharge main replacement programs and lost water reduction initiatives.

Water Production Expenses

The change in water production expenses of $2,184 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily attributable to increases in average per unit costs for purchased water, groundwater extraction, and other production expenses and increases in SJWC’s regulatory Full Cost Balancing Account, offset by a decrease in customer usage and an increase in available surface water for SJWC. Effective July 1, 2022, Valley Water increased the unit price of purchased water by approximately 14% and the groundwater extraction charge by approximately 15%.

The change in water production expenses of $2,855 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily attributable to increases in average per unit costs for purchased water, groundwater extraction, and other production expenses and increases in SJWC’s regulatory Full Cost Balancing Account, offset by a decrease in customer usage and an increase in available surface water for SJWC. Effective July 1, 2022, Valley Water increased the unit price of purchased water by approximately 14% and the groundwater extraction charge by approximately 15%.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding water production expenses, increased $905 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in depreciation related to new utility plant additions and an increase in taxes other than income taxes, offset by a decrease in maintenance expenses due to the timing of contract work and materials expenses.

Operating expenses, excluding water production expenses, increased $4,639 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the $5,450 gain on sale of nonutility properties recorded in the prior year, partially offset by decreases in depreciation and amortization due to a $2,400 one-time impact related to amortization on certain Cupertino concession assets net of increases in depreciation related to new utility plant additions. In addition, there were decreases in maintenance expenses due to the timing of contract work and materials expenses.

Other (Expense) Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to an increase in interest expense due to an increase in long-term debt balances, higher interest rates on lines of credit borrowings and an increase in pension non-service cost, offset by the changes in the Rabbi Trust and life insurance policy values.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to a true-up on prior real estate sale transactions, an increase in interest expense due to an increase in long-term debt balances, higher interest rates on lines of credit borrowings and an increase in pension non-service cost, offset by the changes in the Rabbi Trust and life insurance policy values.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, income tax expense decreased $3,880 and $3,869, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the partial release of an uncertain tax position reserve of $3,087.

The effective consolidated income tax rates were (9)% and 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (1)% and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to the partial release of an uncertain tax position reserve of $3,087.

Regulation and Rates

Almost all of the operating revenue of SJW Group results from the sale of water at rates authorized by the subsidiaries’ respective state utilities commissions. The state utilities commissions set rates that are intended to provide revenue sufficient to recover operating expenses and the opportunity to achieve a specified return on common equity. The timing of rate decisions could have an impact on the results of operations.

California Regulatory Affairs

On May 3, 2021, SJWC filed Application No. 21-05-004 requesting authority to adjust its cost of capital for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The request seeks a revenue increase of $6,418 or 1.61% in 2022. The application also proposes a rate of return of 8.11%, an increase from the current rate of 7.64%, a decrease in the average cost of debt rate from 6.20% to 5.48%, and a return of equity of 10.30% which is an increase from the current rate of 8.90%. In addition, the request seeks to adjust SJWC’s currently authorized capital structure of approximately 47% debt and 53% equity to approximately 45% debt and 55% equity. Intervenors in this proceeding, namely the Public Advocates Office and Water Rate Advocates for Transparency, Equity, and Sustainability, have suggested a lower return on equity while the latter has also suggested a higher cost of debt and different capital structure as part of their testimonies. On June 29, 2023, the CPUC approved Decision No. 23-06-025 in this proceeding. The decision authorizes a rate of return of 7.28% based on a return on equity of 8.80%, a cost of debt of 5.46%, and a capital structure of approximately 45% debt and 55% equity. The CPUC also authorized continuation of the Water Cost of Capital Mechanism (“WCCM”) in the same decision. The WCCM provides for an adjustment in SJWC’s return on equity and cost of debt if the average Moody’s Aa utility bond index rate between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2022 varies by more than 100 basis points when compared to the same period from the prior year. The index rate difference between those periods increased 103 basis points, thereby triggering the WCCM. Accordingly, SJWC filed a Tier 2 Advice Letter to trigger the WCCM on June 30, 2023. This filing is pending before the CPUC. On July 31, 2023, the company expects to file a Tier 1 Advice Letter to implement new rates. The new rates will be prospectively effective on the date of the filing and reflect the WCCM-adjusted return on equity of 9.31%, a cost of debt of 5.26%, and an overall rate of return of 7.47%.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 585 on November 10, 2022, to recover $20,554 in the Interim Rates Memorandum Account in accordance with the 2022 GRC Decision. Advice Letter No. 585 was approved with an effective date of January 1, 2023.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 586 on November 18, 2022, to increase the authorized revenue requirement by $18,418 or 4% for the escalation year increase in accordance with the 2022 GRC Decision. Advice Letter No. 586 was approved with an effective date of January 1, 2023.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 590 on April 6, 2023, to recover a $14,196 under-collection in its Monterey Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism Balancing Account as of March 31, 2023. SJWC proposed that this amount be recovered via a 12-month volume surcharge. This filing is pending before the CPUC.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 591 on April 11, 2023, to discontinue its drought allocation surcharges and move from Stage 3 to Stage 1 of its Schedule 14.1 Advice Letter No. 591 was approved with an effective date of April 11, 2023.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 592 on April 20, 2023, to continue its WCMA and WCEMA under Valley Water’s voluntary call for 15% conservation. This filing is pending before the CPUC.

SJWC filed Advice Letter No. 596 on May 31, 2023, to increase the authorized revenue requirement by $27,607 to offset the increases to purchased potable water charges, the groundwater extraction fee, and purchased recycled water charges from its water wholesalers effective July 1, 2023. Advice Letter No. 596 was approved with an effective date of July 1, 2023.

Connecticut Regulatory Affairs

On January 26, 2023, Connecticut Water filed for a Water Infrastructure Conservation Adjustment (“WICA”) increase of $3,253 in annualized revenues for $27,775 in completed projects. PURA approved the Connecticut Water’s application on March 22, 2023. On January 25, 2023, Connecticut Water filed its 2022 WICA reconciliation with PURA. The reconciliation,

approved by PURA on March 29, 2023 and effective for 12 months beginning April 1, 2023, replaced the expiring 2021 reconciliation credit of 0.02% with a credit of 0.16%. The cumulative WICA surcharge as of April 1, 2023 is 6.19%, collecting $6,544 on an annual basis.

On February 27, 2023, Connecticut Water filed its 2022 Water Revenue Adjustment mechanism (“WRA”). The mechanism reconciles 2022 revenues as authorized in the Connecticut Water’s most recent rate case. The 2022 WRA, as approved by PURA on March 24, 2023 and effective for 12 months beginning on April 1, 2023, imposes a 4.97% surcredit on customer bills to refund the 2022 revenue over-collection.

On July 27, 2023, Connecticut Water filed for a WICA increase of $1,259 in annualized revenues for $11,464 in completed projects. If approved, the increase is expected to become effective in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the cumulative WICA surcharge would be 7.38%.

Texas Regulatory Affairs

Texas Water has no current general rate case pending. However, it filed its application to establish a System Improvement Charge (“SIC”) with the PUCT under Docket No. 54430 on December 30, 2022. This filing will allow Texas Water to add certain utility plant additions made since 2020 to its rate base, thereby increasing revenue and avoiding the immediate need for a general rate case. The SIC is projected to increase Texas Water’s water revenue by $1,596 and sewer revenue by $29 within one year of the approval from the PUCT. The PUCT will determine the completeness of the application and sufficiency of the notices on July 31, 2023. Once the PUCT files the final order approving the SIC, Texas Water will be required to file a general rate case within four years. Texas Water will incrementally increase its SIC annually until that rate case. Texas Water expects to receive the final order during the fourth quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024. Notwithstanding the SIC filing, Texas Water will continue to file its annual adjustments for the Water Pass-through Charges (“WPC”) for Canyon Lake, Deer Creek and Kendall West customers. All water supply cost increases are recoverable when the next annual WPC adjustment for each system is filed.

On April 10, 2023, Texas Water filed an application with the PUCT to acquire the Elm Ridge water system that serves 21 residential customers. Texas Water has asked for filed rate doctrine treatment, which allows the acquiring utility’s current rates to be applied at the time of acquisition.

On June 15, 2023, the PUCT approved the application for the transfer of 520 acres of water Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (“CCN”) and 314 acres of sewer CCN from the San Antonio Water System's to Texas Water's CCN. No customers were transferred as part of the transaction.

On July 24, 2023, the PUCT approved Texas Water's application to acquire KT Water Development Ltd. KT Water Development Ltd. provides service to approximately 570 residential water connections. We expect to close on the acquisition during the third quarter of 2023. The PUCT's final decision that transfers the CCN to Texas Water is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023, which is when we anticipate approval of our request for fair market value and filed rate doctrine treatment.

Maine Regulatory Affairs

The rates approved in the Biddeford Saco division by the April 5, 2022 stipulated agreement, which authorized a rate increase of $6,313, or 72.5% went into effect on July 1, 2022. The Saco River Drinking Water Resource Center began supplying the water distribution system on June 16, 2022. As part of the stipulated agreement, Maine Water agreed to file a final phase of the rate case by April 1, 2023. The third filing was submitted on March 31, 2023. Step 3 of the planned multi-year rate filings for the Saco River Drinking Water Resource Center was filed in accordance with the Commission order on March 31, 2023. The filing requested an increase in revenue requirement of $2,949, or 19.9% and requested that the increase be implemented over two years with a 12% increase effective July 1, 2023 followed by a 9% increase effective July 1, 2024 with a slight decrease in year three to reach the overall 19.9% requested. Through a scheduling order, an Examiner’s report is expected to be issued in July regarding temporary rates effective July 1, 2023 while the areas of dispute in the case are more fully litigated into the fall. A final decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.

On February 2, 2023, Maine Water received final decisions from the MPUC on four general rate cases filed in 2022. The rate increases are retroactively effective for January 1, 2023 and authorize a $692 increase in annual revenues. On February 28, 2022, Maine Water filed requests for general rate increases in the Camden-Rockland, Freeport, Millinocket and Oakland Divisions.

On June 30, 2023, Maine Water filed a Water Infrastructure Surcharge for the Camden-Rockland division. The requested surcharge is 2.34% or $158 with a rate effective date of August 1, 2023. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2023.

Liquidity:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, SJW Group generated cash flows from operations of approximately $97,400, compared to approximately $83,600 for the same period in 2022. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, allowance for equity funds used during construction, gains or losses on the sale of assets, and changes in working capital items. Cash flow from operations increased by approximately $13,800. This increase was the result of a combination of the following factors: (1) general working capital and net income, adjusted for non-cash items, increased by $25,800, and (2) an increase in collections from accounts receivable and accrued unbilled utility revenue of $4,800, offset by (3) a decrease of $5,200 in regulatory assets primarily due to lower surcharge collections on balancing and memorandum accounts, (4) a decrease of $5,100 in other changes primarily due to prior funds received from the State of California Water and Wastewater Arrearages Payment Program, (5) a decrease in tax accruals of more than $3,300 than the prior period, and (6) a decrease in payments of amounts previously invoiced and accrued including accrued production costs of $3,200.

As of June 30, 2023, Water Utility Services’ write-offs for uncollectible accounts represented 1% of its total revenue, increased from less than 1% as of June 30, 2022. The increase in write-offs from the prior year is due to the end of state moratoriums to halt collection efforts related to the COVID pandemic. Management believes that the collection rate for its accounts receivables will gradually return to pre-pandemic levels now that service disconnections are once again allowable in order to mitigate payment delinquencies.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, SJW Group used cash flows from investing activities of approximately $125,400, compared to approximately $117,100 for the same period in 2022. SJW Group used approximately: (1) $115,700 of cash for company-funded capital expenditures, (2) $9,300 for developer-funded capital expenditures, and (3) $500 for utility plant retirements.

Water Utility Services’ estimated capital expenditures for 2023, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are anticipated to be approximately $255,000. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $115,700 or 45% of the $255,000 has been invested.

Water Utility Services’ capital expenditures are incurred in connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Over the next five years, Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $1,630,000 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, maintaining water systems, and installing PFAS treatment. A significant portion of this amount is subject to future respective state regulatory utility commissions’ approval. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant rate base on which Water Utility Services earns a return. Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.

The Water Utility Services’ distribution systems were constructed during the period from the early 1900’s through today. Expenditure levels for renewal and modernization will occur as the components reach the end of their useful lives. In most cases, replacement costs will significantly exceed the original installation costs of the retired assets due to increases in the costs of goods and services and increased regulation.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by approximately $7,100 from the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of (1) an increase in net borrowings and repayments on long-term debt of $105,100, and (2) an increase in net proceeds from our common stock equity offerings of $63,800, offset by (3) a decrease in net borrowings and repayments on our lines of credit of $154,600, and (4) $4,700 decrease in net cash receipts from advances and contributions in aid of construction.

Sources of Capital:

SJW Group’s ability to finance future construction programs and sustain dividend payments depends on its ability to maintain or increase internally generated funds and attract external financing. The level of future earnings and the related cash flow from operations is dependent, in large part, upon the timing and outcome of regulatory proceedings.

Short-term Financing Agreements

SJW Group and its subsidiaries have unsecured line of credit agreements where borrowings are used for long-term capital expenditure financing, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

A summary of the line of credit agreements as of June 30, 2023, are as follows:

CTWS credit agreement	May 15, 2025	40,000		40,000	—

For the first half of 2023, cost of borrowing on the lines of credit averaged 5.96% compared to 1.44% in the same period in 2022.

All of SJW Group’s and subsidiaries lines of credit contain customary representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments, asset sales, and fundamental changes. All of the lines of credit also include certain customary financial covenants such as a funded debt to capitalization ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2023, SJW Group and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants on their lines of credit.

Long-term Financing Agreements

On July 14, 2022, SJWC entered into a note purchase agreement with certain affiliates of New York Life Insurance, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, and John Hancock Life Insurance (collectively the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the company will sell an aggregate principal amount of $70,000 of its 4.85% Senior Notes, Series P (“Series P Notes”) to the Purchasers. The Series P Notes are unsecured obligations of SJWC and are due on February 1, 2053. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. The note purchase agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for as long as the Series P Notes are outstanding. The Series P Notes are also subject to customary events of default. The closing of the note purchase agreement occurred on January 25, 2023.

Equity Financing Arrangements

On March 1, 2023, SJW Group entered into Amendment No. 1 to the equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), dated November 17, 2021, between SJW Group and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (each a “Sales Agent” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which SJW Group increased the aggregate gross sales price of shares of SJW Group’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, that may be sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement from $100,000 to $240,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, SJW Group issued and sold a total of 312,683 and 860,503 shares of common stock, respectively, with a weighted average price of $74.60 and $75.56 per share, respectively, and received $22,782 and $63,779 in net proceeds, respectively, under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Since the inception of the Equity Distribution Agreement, SJW Group has issued and sold 1,745,354 shares of common stock with a weighted average price of $74.49 for a total net proceeds of $127,210 and has $109,995 remaining to issue from the sale of shares as of June 30, 2023 under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Credit Rating

The condition of the capital and credit markets or the strength of financial institutions could impact SJW Group’s ability to draw on its lines of credit, issue long-term debt, sell its equity or earn interest income. In addition, government policies, the state of the credit markets and other factors could result in increased interest rates, which would increase SJW Group’s cost of capital. While our ability to obtain financing will continue to be a risk, we believe that based on our 2023 and 2022 activities, we will have access to the external funding sources necessary to implement our on-going capital investment programs in the future.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SJW Group is subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates, pension plan asset values, and equity prices. The exposure to changes in interest rates can result from the issuance of debt and short-term funds obtained through the company’s variable rate lines of credit. SJW Group’s subsidiaries sponsor noncontributory pension and other post-retirement plans for its employees. Pension and other post-retirement costs and the funded status of the plans may be affected by a number of factors including the discount rate, mortality rates of plan participants, investment returns on plan assets, and pension reform legislation.

SJW Group has no derivative financial instruments, financial instruments with significant off-balance sheet risks, or financial instruments with concentrations of credit risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

SJW Group’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of SJW Group’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that SJW Group’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by SJW Group in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. SJW Group believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the second fiscal quarter of 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting of SJW Group.
