Consolidated Water Co. Ltd.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd.'s subsidiary, Cayman Water Company Limited, has secured a new 25-year license from the Cayman Islands government's Utility Regulation and Competition Office (OfReg). This license, effective August 1, 2026, resolves a long period of uncertainty and establishes a long-term regulatory framework for the company's retail water operations. It grants Cayman Water the exclusive right to produce and distribute potable water in its licensed service area and outlines specific base rates for various consumer types, with annual adjustments and provisions for energy cost recovery. The exchange rate for CI$ to US$ is fixed at US$1.20 per CI$1.00.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. announced that its subsidiary, Cayman Water Company Limited, secured a new 25-year exclusive license from OfReg to provide potable water service in Grand Cayman, effective August 1, 2026. This license establishes a modern regulatory framework, preserving Cayman Water's exclusive rights and incorporating an annual rate adjustment mechanism. While pro forma estimates indicate lower revenues under the new rate structure, the company views this as a significant milestone, providing long-term certainty and supporting continued investment in infrastructure. The favorable operating environment is further bolstered by strong tourism momentum in Grand Cayman.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. shareholders approved several key proposals at its Annual General Meeting on June 1, 2026.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. announced that its board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the third quarter of 2026. The dividend is scheduled to be paid on July 31, 2026, to shareholders who are on record as of the close of business on July 1, 2026.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. reported its first quarter 2026 financial results, with total revenue decreasing 11% to $30.0 million and diluted earnings per share falling to $0.23 from $0.30 in the prior year. The decline was primarily attributed to lower manufacturing revenue due to order timing and reduced retail revenue caused by increased rainfall. However, the bulk and services segments demonstrated growth, with contributions from a new desalination plant in The Bahamas and increased operations and maintenance contracts. Management anticipates manufacturing revenue to improve for the remainder of the year, though full-year manufacturing revenue is expected to be less than 2025's record, and progress is being made on the Hawaii project's permitting process.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. reported a decrease in total revenue by 11% to $30.0 million and net income by 21% to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year. The decline was primarily due to lower manufacturing revenue and reduced retail water sales caused by increased rainfall. However, the bulk and services segments showed growth, partially offsetting these declines, with management expressing optimism for future project-driven revenue growth in manufacturing and construction.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. reported a significant decrease in revenue and net income for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
