Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026

• 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.
• Management believes, despite fluctuations in permit projections, we remain well-positioned to benefit from the anticipated long-term growth of the Phoenix MSA.
• 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.
• We generally expect to file for rate increases every three to five years, in line with common industry practice.
• 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.
• The Company anticipates decisions from the ADWR on both the GW-Santa Cruz and GW-Ocotillo DAWS applications by the fourth quarter of 2027.
• These water availability fees will be recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) and may only be used by GW-Santa Cruz to purchase water supplies.
• The Company expects a decision on the Settlement Agreement at the ACC’s November 4, 2026 open meeting.
• On the other hand, if active connections decrease or the Company experiences declining usage per customer, the Company may not realize all of the anticipated revenues.
• 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.
• 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.
• Although the Company expects that 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.
