Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) and related disclosures as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the Company’s opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due to the seasonality of our business.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which improves and clarifies the guidance regarding when disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. This standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts this amendment will have on its interim disclosures, as well as the timing of adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants, including grants related to an asset and grants related to income. This standard specifies the timing of recognition, the two available approaches to record the grant (the deferred income and the cost accumulation approach) and requires disclosure consistent with current disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements and required disclosures, as well as the timing of adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This pronouncement requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of this standard. This standard requires disclosure in tabular format of disaggregation of relevant expense captions presented on the income statement by certain natural expense categories with certain related qualitative disclosures within the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements and required disclosures and will adopt the guidance on the effective date.

2. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Water Systems from City of Tucson

The acquisition, which served to grow our footprint in Pima County, was accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired utility assets and liabilities based on the acquisition-date fair values. Fair values are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which allows for the characteristics of the acquired assets and liabilities to be considered, particularly restrictions on the use of the asset and liabilities. Regulation is considered both a restriction on the use of the assets and liabilities, as it relates to inclusion in rate base, and a fundamental input to measuring the fair value in a business combination. Substantially all the Company’s operations are subject to the rate-setting authority of the ACC and are accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance for regulated operations. The rate-setting and cost recovery provisions currently in place for the Company’s regulated operations provide revenues derived from costs, including a return on investment of assets and liabilities included in rate base. As such, the fair value of the acquired utility assets and liabilities subject to these rate-setting provisions approximates the pre-acquisition carrying values and does not reflect any net valuation adjustments.

The purchase price allocation of the net assets acquired in the transaction is as follows as of the acquisition date:


Net assets acquired (in thousands):
Utility plant, net	$	7,731
Cash	25
Accounts receivable	162





Other accrued liabilities	(25)



Total net assets assumed	7,893
Goodwill	230
Total purchase price	$	8,123

The goodwill reflects the value paid primarily for the long-term potential for connection growth as a result of the Company’s increased scale and diversity, opportunities for synergies, and an improved risk profile.

3. Regulatory Matters

Recent ACC Rulings and Activity

2025 GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Palo Verde Rate Cases

On March 5, 2025, GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Palo Verde each filed a general rate case application and related schedules with the ACC for, among other things, increased water and wastewater rates, respectively, based on a test year ended December 31, 2024, with updates for post-test year plant. On October 1, 2025, the ACC Utilities Division (“ACC Staff”) and RUCO filed their respective initial written testimonies with the ACC in the rate cases, with subsequent rebuttal, surrebuttal and rejoinder testimonies having been filed by the parties.

On April 28, 2026, the parties entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to bifurcate the two rate cases pursuant to which, among other things: (i) the GW-Santa Cruz rate case has settled; (ii) GW-Palo Verde will withdraw its rate case application with the intent of refiling its rate case in 2027 using a 2026 test year; and (iii) GW-Palo Verde will seek authorization to increase the temporary bill credit for customers related to the Company’s Southwest Plant that was originally approved in connection with Decision No. 79424 issued by the ACC. The proposed increase in the temporary bill credit is expected to reduce revenue by an additional $0.4 million annually with the parties agreeing that the final resolution relating to this bill credit will be addressed in GW-Palo Verde’s 2027 rate review.

In addition, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to, among other things: (i) an increase in GW-Santa Cruz’s annual revenue requirement of approximately $2.3 million; (ii) a requested effective date of the new rates for GW-Santa Cruz of November 1, 2026; and (iii) $3.4 million of utility plant for GW-Santa Cruz would be classified as plant held for

-10-

future use for ratemaking purposes. The settlement preserves the Company’s ability to seek inclusion of these assets in rate base in a future rate review, subject to ACC review and approval. The Company has also agreed to miscellaneous adjustments that would result in disallowances of approximately $0.1 million.

On July 9, 2026, GW-Palo Verde filed a motion to withdraw its rate application in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. On July 29, 2026, the ALJ issued a procedural order granting the motion to withdraw the GW-Palo Verde rate application. Hearings concluded on August 3, 2026, and the GW-Santa Cruz rate case, along with the Settlement Agreement, is under advisement with the ALJ. The Company expects a decision on the GW-Santa Cruz rate case by the end of 2026. The Settlement Agreement remains subject to the approval of the ACC, and there can be no assurance that the ACC will approve the Settlement Agreement in the form filed or otherwise modify provisions contained therein. Therefore, no adjustments related to this settlement have been reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

2024 GW-Farmers Rate Case - Decision No. 80695 - Issued April 29, 2025

On June 27, 2024, GW-Farmers filed a rate case application with the ACC for increased water rates based on a 2023 test year, with updates for changes in post-test year plant through December 31, 2024. On April 29, 2025, the ACC approved GW-Farmers’ rate case application in Decision No. 80695. Among other approvals, Decision No. 80695 approved an increase in GW-Farmers’ annual revenue requirement of $1.1 million and a return on equity of 9.6%, with increased rates to be phased-in over three periods. 50% of the increase was effective on May 1, 2025, with another 25% effective on November 1, 2025. The final 25% increase was phased in on May 1, 2026. In addition to the rate increase, Decision No. 80695 also approved a deferral of the recovery of an acquisition premium of approximately $3 million related to the Company’s acquisition of GW-Farmers, which the Company recorded as of March 31, 2025. Decision No. 80695 calls for the acquisition premium to be recovered in a future rate case, subject to the GW-Farmers utility being found viable by the ACC.

Southwest Service Area Wastewater Collection Mains and Recycled Water Mains

In January 2024, the Company discovered that approximately $7.8 million of construction costs for wastewater mains and recycled water mains in the Company’s Southwest service area had been prematurely included as “plant in service” for rate-making purposes in 2007, and were reflected in the calculation of customer rates in Decision No. 71878 (September 15, 2010). Those costs were also included as “plant in service” in Decision No. 74364 (February 26, 2014) and Decision No. 78644 (July 27, 2022). The Company disclosed this circumstance to the ACC on March 1, 2024, and on April 25, 2024, GW-Palo Verde filed an application with the ACC requesting a monthly bill credit for customers that would be in place until the conclusion of the next GW-Palo Verde rate case. The ACC issued Decision No. 79424 on July 18, 2024 approving the bill credit with an effective date of August 1, 2024. The bill credit reduced revenue earned by $0.2 million for both of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and $0.3 million for both of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. For additional information regarding the bill credit, refer to “2025 GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Palo Verde Rate Cases” above.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Deferred revenue from ICFAs is recognized as revenue once the obligations specified within the applicable ICFA are met, including construction of sufficient operating capacity to serve the customers for which revenue was deferred. Due to the uncertainty of future events, the Company is unable to estimate when to expect recognition of deferred revenue from ICFAs.

The following table summarizes the ICFA deferred revenue activity:

Other Fair Value Disclosures for Financial Instruments

Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) consists of HUF funds and certificates of deposit, both of which are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The fair value of outstanding long-term debt is estimated based on interest rates considered available for instruments of similar terms and remaining maturities. Certain premium costs associated with the early settlement of long-term debt are not taken into consideration in determining fair value. These fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:


	June 30, 2026				December 31, 2025
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	131,775	$	128,097	$	133,698	$	130,840

11. Income Taxes

Our interim effective tax rates reflect the estimated annual effective tax rates for 2026 and 2025 applied to year-to-date pretax income, adjusted for tax expense associated with certain discrete items.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 26.2% and 27.7%, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of ICFA revenue recognized in the current year period, which did not occur in the prior year period.

The effective tax rates were largely consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, at 26.8% and 26.6%, respectively.

12. Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation to both employees and non-employees were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

(in thousands)	2026		2025		2026		2025
Employee - RSA	$	96	$	109	$	215	$	213

13. Transactions With Related Parties

The Company provides medical benefits to employees through its participation in a pooled plan sponsored by an affiliate of a significant shareholder and director of the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, medical claims expense was $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, medical claims expense was $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Additionally, certain directors and/or their affiliates purchased an aggregate of 1,439,200 shares of common stock at the public offering price in the Company’s public offering of common stock in March 2025. Refer to Note 7 — “Equity,” for additional information.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

On February 1, 2023, the Company acquired all of the equity of Farmers Water Co., an operator of a water utility with service area in Pima County, Arizona. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the seller a growth premium equal to $1,000 (not in thousands) for each new account established within the specified growth premium areas, up to a maximum total aggregate growth premium of $3.5 million. The obligation period of the growth premium commenced on the closing date of the acquisition and ends (i) ten years after the first new account for residential purposes is established on land that was, at the time of the closing date of the acquisition, undeveloped or unplatted and owned by the seller within the service area; or (ii) ten years after the date of closing if a new account (as previously described) has not been established. As of June 30, 2026, no new account was established on land that was undeveloped or unplatted at the closing date of the acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was calculated using a discounted cash flow technique which utilized unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions. Significant inputs used in the fair value calculation are as follows: year of the first meter installation, total new accounts per year, years to complete full build out, and discount rate. The estimated fair value of the remaining liability was $1.2 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).

-16-

Within the service area of its GW-Saguaro utility, the Company is required to pay a growth premium equal to $750 (not in thousands) for each new account established within specified growth premium areas, commencing in each area on the date of the first meter installation and ending on the earlier of ten years after such first installation date, or twenty years from the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2026, no meters have been installed and no accounts have been established in any of the specified growth premium areas. The fair value of the contingent consideration was calculated using a discounted cash flow technique which utilized unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions. Significant inputs used in the fair value calculation are as follows: year of the first meter installation, total new accounts per year, years to complete full build out, and discount rate. The fair value of the remaining liability was $0.7 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).

The Company has previously received certain ICFA advances related to its CP Water utility, which the Company is obligated to repay in the form of specified future ICFA fee reductions when those ICFA fees are due. The liability was $0.9 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).

Contingencies

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to pending or threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. The Company intends to continue to defend itself vigorously in such matters. The Company regularly assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in its financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the Company’s assessment, it currently does not have any amount accrued related to legal matters. Management is not aware of any legal proceeding of which the ultimate resolution could materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

15. Business Segment Information

As of June 30, 2026, the Company is organized and operated as one operating and reportable segment, as the Company is not organized around specific products and services, geographic regions, or regulatory environments. Further, the Company currently operates solely within the state of Arizona. Operating revenue is substantially derived from regulated water, wastewater, and recycled water service provided to customers based upon tariff rates approved by the ACC. Refer to Note 4 — “Revenue Recognition” for additional information on the Company’s sources of revenue, and refer to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for measures of profit and loss, total assets, and capital expenditures of the Company.

The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. While the Company reports revenue disaggregated by service type on the face of its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), the Company does not manage the business based on any performance measure at the individual revenue stream level. The CODM uses consolidated financial information, as outlined below, to evaluate performance against budget and peers and to make all significant decisions regarding the allocation of the Company’s resources, and communicate results and performance to the Company’s board of directors.

The CODM regularly reviews the results of the Company based on GAAP net income as well as non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The CODM uses GAAP net income in the assessment of performance and to make strategic decisions regarding resource allocation predominantly in the annual budget.

Overview

GWRI is a water resource management company that owns, operates, and manages thirty-nine water, wastewater, and recycled water public utility systems in strategically located communities, principally in metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. We seek to deploy an integrated approach, referred to as “Total Water Management.” Total Water Management is a comprehensive approach to water utility management that reduces demand on scarce non-renewable water sources and costly renewable water supplies, in a manner that ensures sustainability and greatly benefits communities both environmentally and economically. This approach employs a series of principles and practices that can be tailored to each community:

•Reuse of recycled water, either directly or to non-potable uses, through aquifer recharge, or possibly direct potable reuse in the future;

•Regional planning;

-20-

•Use of advanced technology and data;

•Employing respected subject matter experts and retaining thought leaders;

•Leading outreach and educational initiatives to ensure all stakeholders including customers, development partners, municipalities, regulators, and utility staff are knowledgeable on the principles and practices of the Total Water Management approach; and

•Establishing partnerships with communities, developers, and industry stakeholders to gain support of the Total Water Management principles and practices.

Business Outlook

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 2.7% as of June 30, 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 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.

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 June 2026, the median home sales price in the City of Maricopa was 25% lower than in the City of Phoenix. In addition, construction on the State Route 347 Improvement Project began in June 2026, with 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.

We continue to monitor potential effects on our operations due to changes in the macroeconomic environment, such as the impacts of tariffs on our operational costs and construction work in progress, as well as new home construction in our service areas. We continue to expect a positive long-term outlook based on forecasted performance of job and population growth, as well as indicators of stabilizing construction in the single-family housing market in the Phoenix MSA.

The 2026 and 2027 residential permit forecasts, published by Arizona State University - W.P. Carey School of Business Greater Phoenix Blue Chip Real Estate Consensus Panel in the second quarter of 2026, are presented in the table below:


	2026	2027
Phoenix MSA Consensus
Single family permits	21,178	22,518
Multi-family permits	8,482	9,031

Single family and multi-family housing equivalent permits issued are presented in the table below:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Change			Six Months Ended June 30,		Change
	2026	2025	#	%		2026	2025	#	%
Single family permits
City of Maricopa	185	175	10	6	%	342	363	(21)	(6)	%
Phoenix MSA	5,653	5,929	(276)	(5)	%	10,857	12,337	(1,480)	(12)	%
Multi-family housing equivalent permits
City of Maricopa	—	86	(86)	(100)	%	215	290	(75)	(26)	%

While new permit activity has slowed, growth in the Phoenix MSA, particularly in the City of Maricopa, is reflected in the Company’s 2.7% year-over-year organic increase in active connections. Management believes, despite fluctuations in permit projections, we remain well-positioned to benefit from the anticipated long-term growth of the Phoenix MSA.

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by a variety of industry-wide factors, including but not limited to:

•population and community growth;

•economic and environmental utility regulation;

•the need for infrastructure investment;

•production and treatment costs;

•weather and seasonality; and

•adequate water supply.

We are subject to regulation by the state regulator, the ACC. The U.S. federal and state governments also regulate environmental, health and safety, and water quality matters. We continue to execute on our strategy to optimize and focus the Company in order to provide greater value to our customers and shareholders by aiming to deliver predictable financial results, making prudent capital investments, and focusing our efforts on earning an appropriate rate of return on our investments.

We continue to monitor the impact of business and macroeconomic conditions on our business and operations, including those relating to inflationary pressures, changes in tariff policy and geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East. While these conditions did not have a material effect on our business operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we are unable to predict the ultimate extent to which our business operations, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position could be impacted.

Population and Community Growth

Population and community growth in the metropolitan Phoenix area served by our utilities have a direct impact on our earnings. An increase or decrease in our active service connections will affect our revenue and variable expenses in a corresponding manner. As of June 30, 2026, active service connections increased 3,790, or 5.8%, to 69,429 compared to 65,639 active service connections as of June 30, 2025, primarily due to organic growth in our service areas and the acquisition of seven water systems from the City of Tucson in July 2025. Approximately 87.4% of the 69,429 active service connections are serviced by our GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Palo Verde utilities as of June 30, 2026.

The graph below presents the historical change in active connections for our ongoing operations over the past five years.

-22-

Recent Acquisition Activity

Acquisition of Water Systems from City of Tucson

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 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 that took effect in 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.

Economic and Environmental Utility Regulation

We are subject to extensive regulation of our rates by the ACC, which is charged with establishing rates based on the provision of reliable service at a reasonable cost while also providing an opportunity to earn a fair rate of return on rate base for investors in the state’s utilities. The ACC uses a historical test year to evaluate whether the plant in service is used and useful, to assess whether costs were prudently incurred, and to set “just and reasonable” rates. Rate base is typically the depreciated original cost of the plant in service (net of CIAC and AIAC, which are funds or property provided to a utility under the terms of a main extension agreement, the value of which may be refundable), that has been determined to have been “prudently invested” and “used and useful”, although the reconstruction cost of the utility plant may also be considered in determining the rate base. The ACC also decides on an applicable capital structure based on actual or hypothetical analyses. The ACC determines a “rate of return” on that rate base, which includes the approved capital structure and the actual cost of debt and a fair and reasonable cost of equity based on the ACC’s judgment. The overall revenue requirement for rate making purposes is established by multiplying the rate of return by the rate base and adding reasonably incurred operating expenses for the test year, depreciation, taxes, and any applicable pro forma adjustments.

To ensure an optimal combination of access to water and water conservation, balanced with a fair rate of return for investors, our water utility operating revenue is based on two components: a fixed fee and a consumption or volumetric fee. For our water utilities, the fixed fee, or “basic service charge,” provides access to water for residential usage and has generally been set at a level to produce approximately 50% of total water revenue. The volumetric fee is based on the total volume of water supplied to a given customer after the minimum number of gallons, if any, covered by the basic service charge, multiplied by a price per gallon set by a tariff approved by the ACC. A discount to the volumetric rate applies for customers that use less than an amount specified by the ACC. For all investor-owned water utilities, the ACC has, as a policy matter, required the establishment of inverted tier conservation-oriented rates, meaning that the price of water increases as consumption increases. For wastewater utilities, wastewater collection and treatment can be based on volumetric or fixed fees. Our wastewater service is billed based solely on a fixed fee, determined by the size of the water meter installed. Recycled water is sold on a volumetric basis with no fixed fee component.

We are required to file rate cases with the ACC to obtain approval for a change in the rates we charge to customers. Rate cases and other rate-related proceedings can take a year or more to complete. As a result, there is frequently a delay, or regulatory lag, between the time of a capital investment or incurrence of an operating expense increase and when those costs are reflected in rates. We generally expect to file for rate increases every three to five years, in line with common industry practice. Refer to “— Rate Regulation Updates” below and Note 3 — “Regulatory Matters” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Additionally, our water and wastewater utility operations are subject to extensive regulation by U.S. federal, state, and local regulatory agencies that enforce environmental, health, and safety requirements, which affect all of our regulated subsidiaries. Environmental, health and safety, and water quality regulations are complex, change frequently, and have tended to become more stringent over time. Although it is difficult to project the ultimate costs of complying with pending or future requirements, we do not expect requirements under current regulations to have a material impact on our operations or financial condition, though it is possible new methods of treating drinking water may be required if additional regulations become effective in the future. See “Business—Regulation”, included in Part I, Item 1 of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.

-23-

Infrastructure Investment

Capital expenditures for infrastructure investment are a component of the rate base on which our regulated utility subsidiaries are allowed to earn a rate of return. Capital expenditures for infrastructure provide a basis for earnings growth by expanding our “used and useful” rate base, which is a component of our permitted return on investment and revenue requirement. We have generally been able to recover a rate of return on these capital expenditures (return on equity and debt), together with debt service and certain operating costs, through the rates we charge.

We have an established capital improvement plan to make targeted capital investments to repair and replace existing infrastructure as needed, address operating redundancy requirements and expand our infrastructure in areas where growth is occurring. Refer to “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.

Production and Treatment Costs

Our water and wastewater service requires significant production resources and therefore results in significant production costs. Although we are permitted to recover these costs through the rates we charge, regulatory lag can decrease our margins and earnings if production costs or other operating expenses increase significantly before we are able to recover them through increased rates. Our most significant costs include labor, chemicals used to treat water and wastewater, and power used to operate pumps and other equipment. Power and chemical costs can be volatile. However, we employ a variety of technologies and methodologies to minimize costs and maximize operational efficiencies.

Weather and Seasonality

Our ability to meet the existing and future water demands of our customers depends on the availability of an adequate supply of water. Drought, overuse of sources of water, the protection of threatened species or habitats, or other factors may limit the availability of ground and surface water.

Also, customer usage of water and recycled water is affected by weather conditions, particularly during the summer. Our water systems generally experience higher demand in the summer months due to the warmer temperatures and increased usage by customers for irrigation and other outdoor uses. However, summer weather that is cooler or wetter than average generally suppresses customer water demand and can have a downward effect on our operating revenue and operating income. Conversely, when weather conditions are extremely dry, our business may be affected by government-issued drought-related warnings and/or water usage restrictions that would artificially lower customer demand and reduce our operating revenue.

The limited geographic diversity of our service areas makes the results of our operations more sensitive to the effect of extreme weather patterns. The second and third quarters of the year are generally those in which water service revenue and wastewater service revenue are highest. For additional information and risks associated with weather and seasonality, refer to “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Factors—Our utilities business is subject to seasonal fluctuations and other weather-related conditions, such as droughts, which could adversely affect the supply of and demand for our service and our results of operations,” and “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Factors—Climate variability may cause increased volatility in weather and may impact water usage and related revenue or require additional expenditures, all of which may not be fully recoverable in rates or otherwise,” included in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

Adequate Water Supply

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 22,914 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,

considering the existing capacity in the DAWS, we believe that we have an adequate supply of water to service our current demand and growth for the foreseeable future in our service areas. For additional information and risks associated with the access to and quality of water supply, see “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Factors—Inadequate water supplies and wastewater capacity could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to achieve the customer growth necessary to increase our revenue,” included in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

Ag-to-Urban and GW-Santa Cruz DAWS Application

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”). On June 2, 2026, GW-Santa Cruz filed an application with the ADWR to modify its DAWS to incorporate these GSCs, along with additional recycled water, and requested an increase from 22,914 to 27,466 acre-feet per year. 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.

GW-Ocotillo DAWS Application

On March 27, 2026, the Company’s GW-Ocotillo utility filed a DAWS application with the ADWR to secure water supplies and provide water resource security in its service area.

The Company anticipates decisions from the ADWR on both the GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Ocotillo DAWS applications by the fourth quarter of 2027. There can be no assurance that the ADWR will approve the DAWS applications or on the timing of such decisions by the ADWR.

Rate Regulation Updates

GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Palo Verde Rate Cases

On April 28, 2026, GW-Santa Cruz, GW-Palo Verde, RUCO, and ACC Staff filed with the ACC a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) detailing the terms upon which the parties have agreed to bifurcate and settle the rate cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to, among other things:

•an increase in GW-Santa Cruz’s annual revenue requirement of approximately $2.3 million with a capital structure of 55% common equity/45% debt and a return on equity of 9.6%;

•a requested effective date of the new rates for GW-Santa Cruz of November 1, 2026; and

•the withdrawal of the GW-Palo Verde rate case, with an agreement that GW-Palo Verde will refile its rate application in 2027 using a 2026 test year without seeking formula rates.

Additionally, in consideration of the Settlement Agreement, GW-Palo Verde has agreed to seek an amendment to Decision No. 79424 (July 18, 2024) issued by the ACC to increase the amount of the temporary bill credit for customers related to the Company’s Southwest Plant. The Settlement Agreement provides that the increase to the temporary bill credit will coincide with new rates described above for GW-Santa Cruz going into effect and is expected to reduce revenue by approximately $0.4 million annually. The parties have also agreed that the final resolution relating to this bill credit will be addressed in GW-Palo Verde’s 2027 rate case.

Revenue

Operating revenue is substantially derived from regulated water, wastewater, and recycled water service provided to customers based upon tariff rates approved by the ACC. Regulated revenue consists of amounts billed to customers based on approved fixed monthly fees and consumption based fees, as well as unbilled revenue, which is estimated revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period utilizing historical customer data recorded. Unregulated revenue represents revenue that is not subject to the ratemaking process of the ACC. Unregulated revenue is primarily related to the revenue recognized on a portion of ICFA funds received. Refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information pertaining to how we earn and recognize revenue.

The increase in regulated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to:

•The acquisition of the seven water systems from the City of Tucson in July 2025.

•Organic growth in active water and wastewater connections.

•Increased water consumption, predominantly driven by growth in active connections and higher usage largely as a result of higher temperatures and drier weather during the current year period.

•Higher rates for GW-Farmers resulting from the GW-Farmers general rate case, effective November 1, 2025 and May 1, 2026.

The increase in unregulated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was related to ICFA revenue recorded in connection with the commissioning of a new wastewater reclamation facility in GW-Hassayampa’s service territory in June 2026.

Total operating expenses	$	13,261	$	11,621	$	(1,640)	(14.1)	%

Operations and Maintenance

Operations and maintenance expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, production costs (primarily chemicals and purchased electrical power), maintenance costs, and property tax.

•Higher personnel costs were primarily attributable to rising medical costs.

•Higher utilities, chemicals and repairs were primarily the result of increased purchased power driven by increased consumption and additional processing equipment in operation as a result of our 2025 capital improvement plan. Increased consumption also resulted in increased expenditures for chemicals and supplies.

•The increase in other operations and maintenance expenses was primarily driven by a $0.1 million loss on the disposal of utility plant and expenses related to wastewater disposal prior to the start-up of the GW-Hassayampa wastewater reclamation facility in June 2026 and $0.1 million in new operating costs for the seven water systems acquired from the City of Tucson in July 2025.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of the day-to-day expenses of office operations, personnel costs, legal and other professional fees, insurance, rent, and regulatory fees.

•Lower personnel costs were primarily driven by decreased hiring and moving expenses and lower salaries and wages, partially offset by increased medical costs.

•The decrease in professional fees was largely attributable to higher legal fees in the prior year period associated with the Nikola bankruptcy and the acquisition of the seven water systems from the City of Tucson in July 2025.

•The increase in other general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to:

◦Increased rent expense related to the renewal of our corporate office lease in August 2025.

◦Higher general liability insurance costs.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion - The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was substantially attributable to an 18.8% increase in depreciable fixed assets as a result of our 2025 capital improvement plan, which resulted in a significant number of assets placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total Other Expense – The increase in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was substantially attributable to:

•An increase in interest expense of $0.2 million primarily due to a term loan entered into in December 2025 to support our 2025 capital improvement plan and increased borrowings under the Revolver in the current year period.

•A decrease in interest income of $0.2 million as a result of carrying lower average cash balances.

-29-

Income tax expense – The primary driver for the increase in income tax expense was higher pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year, substantially attributable to ICFA revenue recognized during the current year period that did not occur in the prior year period.

◦Higher general liability insurance costs.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion - The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was substantially attributable to an 18.8% increase in depreciable fixed assets as a result of our 2025 capital improvement plan, which resulted in a significant number of assets placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition, amortization of intangible assets increased in the first quarter of 2026 in connection with ICFA payments received.

-31-

Total Other Expense –The increase in total other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was substantially attributable to:

•An increase in interest expense of $0.4 million primarily due to a term loan entered into in December 2025 to support our 2025 capital improvement plan and increased borrowings under the Revolver in the current year period.

•A decrease in interest income of $0.2 million as a result of carrying lower average cash balances.

•A decrease in income associated with Buckeye growth premiums of $0.1 million that resulted from fewer new meter connections in the area. Refer to Note 16 — “Other, Net” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding the Buckeye growth premiums.

Income tax expense – Pre-tax income and the resulting tax expense was comparable for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations, debt and equity financing and certain government grants. External debt financing is provided primarily through the issuance of long-term debt or utilization of the Company’s $20.0 million Revolver. Additionally, its regulated utility subsidiaries receive advances and contributions from customers, home builders, and real estate developers to partially fund construction necessary to extend service to new areas.

Significant sources of funds from historical financing activity included:

Sales of Equity Securities

The Company has historically completed multiple equity raises through sales of its common stock in both public and private offerings, including the recent transactions below.

WIFA Grant and Note

On April 30, 2024, the Company’s Global Water - Rincon Water Company, Inc. utility (now part of GW-Saguaro) entered into a loan agreement with WIFA for a note with a principal amount of $2.4 million (the “WIFA Note”) to improve the utility’s infrastructure, including enhancements to the fluoride treatment system and other projects, of which $0.7 million is forgivable. The WIFA Note is due on April 1, 2044 and bears an interest rate of 4.911%. Funding occurs through one or more draw requests submitted by the Company and the subsequent disbursement of principal by WIFA. The Company received the final disbursements in May 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding balance of the WIFA Note was $1.6 million. In connection with the underlying assets being placed in service, the forgivable portion of the loan was recognized as CIAC in June 2025.

Revolver

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with Northern Trust pursuant to a loan agreement entered into between the parties (as amended, the “Northern Trust Loan Agreement”) that provides for a $20 million maximum borrowing capacity. On April 30, 2026, the Company and Northern Trust entered into a seventh amendment to the Northern Trust Loan Agreement to, among other things, extend the scheduled maturity date from May 18, 2027 to May 18, 2028. Pursuant to the Northern Trust Loan Agreement, the amounts outstanding bear interest, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the SOFR plus 2.10%. Additionally,

-32-

the Company pays a quarterly facility fee equal to 0.35% of the average daily unused amount of the Revolver. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $5.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver.

Senior Secured Notes

On June 24, 2016, the Company issued two series of senior secured notes with a total principal balance of $115.0 million at a blended interest rate of 4.55%. The Series A notes (the “Series A Notes”) carry a principal balance of $28.8 million and bear an interest rate of 4.38%, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, over a twelve-year term, with the principal payment due on June 15, 2028. 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.

Additionally, on January 3, 2024, the Company issued $20 million aggregate principal amount of 6.91% Senior Secured Notes due on January 3, 2034 (the “6.91% Notes” and collectively with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). The 6.91% Notes accrue interest at 6.91% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on January 3 and July 3 of each year, beginning on July 3, 2024, with a balloon payment due on January 3, 2034.

Term Loan

On December 10, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with, and issued a related promissory note to, CoBank, ACB, a federally-chartered instrumentality of the United States. Under the terms of the credit agreement and promissory note, the Company was provided term loan borrowings with an aggregate principal amount of $15 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.49% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2026, with the principal payment due on December 10, 2035, the scheduled maturity date. As of June 30, 2026, the Term Loan carried a principal balance of $15.0 million.

The Company uses capital resources primarily to:

•fund operating costs;

•fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures;

•make debt and interest payments;

•fund acquisitions; and

•pay dividends.

The Company’s utility subsidiaries operate in rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new investment recovery may be limited. Such recovery will take place over an extended period of time because recovery through rate increases is subject to regulatory lag.

On July 8, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of seven water systems from Tucson Water, the City of Tucson’s water utility, for a purchase price of approximately $8.1 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has no notable near-term cash expenditures, other than for its capital improvement plan, payment of dividends and the principal payments for its Series B Notes in the amount of $1.9 million due in both December 2026 and June 2027. While specific facts and circumstances could change, the Company believes that with the cash on hand and the ability to draw on its 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.

The Company maintains a monthly dividend program with dividends currently set at $0.02533 per share ($0.30396 per share annually). Although the Company expects that monthly dividends will be declared and paid for the foreseeable future, the declaration of any dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and is subject to legal requirements and debt service ratio covenant requirements.

Cash from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities are used for operating needs and to meet capital expenditure requirements. The Company’s future cash flows from operating activities will be affected by economic utility regulation, growth in service connections, customer usage of water, compliance with environmental health and safety standards, production costs, weather, and seasonality.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $9.2 million compared to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was largely consistent year-over-year.

Cash from Investing Activities

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. The $22.5 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.

The Company continues to invest capital prudently in existing, core service areas where the Company is able to deploy the Total Water Management model as this includes any required maintenance capital expenditures and the construction of new water and wastewater treatment and delivery facilities. The timing and magnitude of projected capital expenditures and other investments are subject to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors. As a result, the Company may adjust capital expenditures to correspond with any substantial changes in demand for new development in its service areas.

Cash from Financing Activities

The net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a $26.0 million decrease, as compared to $27.8 million in cash provided by financing activities 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 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.

Insurance Coverage

The Company carries various property, casualty, and financial insurance policies with limits, deductibles, and exclusions consistent with industry standards. However, insurance coverage may not be adequate or available to cover unanticipated losses or claims. The Company is self-insured to the extent that losses are within the policy deductible or exceed the amount of insurance maintained. Such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s short-term and long-term financial condition and the results of operations and cash flows.

Debt Covenants

The Company’s Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan and Revolver (collectively, the “debt instruments”) require the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated debt service of at least 1.10 to 1.00. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as net income plus depreciation and amortization, taxes, interest and other non-cash charges net of non-cash income. The debt instruments also contain a provision limiting the payment of dividends if the Company falls below a debt service ratio of 1.25. Further, the foregoing covenants are subject to various qualifications and limitations as set forth in each of the debt instruments’ respective agreements. The debt instruments are subject to certain customary events of default after which they could be declared due and payable if not cured within the grace period or, in certain circumstances, could be declared due and payable immediately. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants under the debt instruments.
