GWRS--
GWRS recorded adjusted earnings of 6 cents per share for the second quarter of 2025, meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This represents a 14.3% decrease from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the company's capital improvement plan, which increased depreciation expense [1]. Total revenues for the quarter totaled $14 million, also meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with a 5.4% year-over-year increase driven by organic connection growth, increased consumption, and higher rates [1].
Water services contributed $7.36 million to total revenues, up 10.5% year-over-year from $6.67 million. Wastewater and recycled water services contributed $6.87 million, a 0.5% increase from $6.84 million in the year-ago quarter [1].
Water consumption increased by 8.2% to 1.2 billion gallons, while total active service connections at June 30, 2025, rose by 3.8% to 65,639. Net income decreased to $1.6 million from $1.7 million, and the company invested $20.2 million in infrastructure projects [1].
As of June 30, 2025, GWRS had $10.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $9.04 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. Net long-term debt totaled $116.8 million, down from $118.5 million. Cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2025 was nearly $8.8 million, compared to $13.6 million in the year-ago period [1].
GWRS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The company's stock price saw a decline of 3.11% to $9.96 in post-market trading, reflecting investor concerns over increased operating expenses and potential macroeconomic challenges [2].
The earnings call provided a comprehensive overview of GWRS’s performance and strategic direction, highlighting both achievements and areas of concern. The company's focus on acquisitions and operational efficiency will be crucial to maintaining its growth trajectory as it navigates a complex economic landscape [2].
