GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CWCO), a leading designer, builder and operator of advanced water supply and treatment plants, reported results for the full year ended December 31, 2023. All comparisons are to the same prior year period unless otherwise noted. The company will hold a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow to discuss the results (see dial-in information below). 2023 Financial Highlights
2023 Operational Highlights
Dividend Increase In August 2023, the company increased its quarterly dividend by 11.8% to $0.095 per share beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023. Management Commentary "In 2023, our strong revenue and earnings growth made it the best-performing year ever for Consolidated Water," stated company CEO, Rick McTaggart. "This is a fitting achievement in the year that we celebrated our 50th year in business. "In fact, revenue was up across all four of our business segments, with total gross profit doubling to $61.9 million and gross margin up 211 basis points to 34.4%. We believe this margin expansion was primarily the result of our focus on quality projects and cost control. "Over the past year, we have seen tourism recover and water use increase for our Cayman Islands retail and bulk water segments. We also recognized revenue from the design and construction of the 2.6 million gallon per day Red Gate seawater desalination plant we are building for the Water Authority of the Cayman Islands. This contributed significantly to the year-over-year increase in our services segment. "Our operating results in 2023 benefited from an extraordinary level of design and construction revenue from the Arizona and Cayman projects, both of which are winding down this quarter. Other segments in our business, however, also generated increased revenues, which we expect to continue through 2024. Based on our schedule for the Hawaii project, we expect to complete piloting, design and permitting, and commence construction of that plant in the third quarter of 2025, at which time we will begin to recognize the majority of the $150 million in design-build revenue from that important project over the two-year construction period. "The sustained robust operational performance and revenue expansion of our PERC subsidiary has continued to bolster our top and bottom lines. Given its strong operational footprint in the Southwestern U.S., a region grappling with critical water scarcity exacerbated by unprecedented drought conditions, PERC is poised for further expansion and advancement in this fundamental segment of our business. "In our U.S. desalination business, we commenced work in the fourth quarter on site investigations, engineering, permitting and public outreach for our contract to design, construct, operate and maintain a 1.7 MGD seawater desalination plant in Oahu, Hawaii. This project includes a two-year development phase, two-year construction phase and 20-year operating phase, with two potential 5-year operating phase extensions at the client's option. "We see opportunities to grow our US-based O&M business as well as our design-build business by building upon our successes this past year. Bidding activity for O&M contracts and design-build projects— particularly in California where PERC's presence is strong—has been robust and we hope to obtain some of this new work. "Our strong 2023 results certainly set the bar higher in terms of our future growth outlook. However, we remain optimistic about our growth prospects. Our exceptional operational performance over the past several years has reaffirmed our belief that our highly efficient and aesthetically pleasing treatment plant designs, world-class operating and maintenance capabilities, and our innovative project delivery models are superior to our competitors." 2023 Financial Summary Revenue totaled $180.2 million, up 92% compared to $94.1 million in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $4.2 million in the retail segment, $1.6 million in the bulk segment, $69.1 million in the services segment and $11.2 million in the manufacturing segment. Retail revenue increased primarily due to a 15% increase in the volume of water sold. The volume of water sold in the Cayman Water license area increased by 14% and the remaining 1% increase in the volume of water sold was due to sales by Cayman Water directly to the Water Authority Cayman in the first quarter of 2023. Retail revenue also increased as the result of higher energy costs that increased the energy pass-through component of the company's retail water rates. The increase in bulk segment revenue was due to an increase of 6% in the volume of water sold by CW-Bahamas and higher energy costs, which increased the energy pass-through component of the company's bulk water rates. The increase in services segment revenue was primarily due to plant construction revenue increasing 566% to $77.3 million. The company recognized approximately $64.0 million in revenue for the construction of the water treatment plant in Goodyear, Arizona, and recognized $8.2 million in revenue for the design and construction of the Red Gate plant in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Revenue generated under operations and maintenance contracts totaled $19.4 million in the full year of 2023, up 37% from $14.2 million in 2022. The increase in manufacturing segment revenue was due to higher project activity. Gross profit for the full year of 2023 was $61.9 million or 34.4% of total revenue, up 104% from $30.4 million or 32.3% of total revenue in 2022. Net income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders for the full year of 2023 was $30.7 million or $1.93 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.2 million or $0.54 per diluted share in 2022. Net income attributable to Consolidated Water stockholders for the full year of 2023, which includes the results of discontinued operations, was $29.6 million or $1.86 per diluted share, up from net income of $5.9 million or $0.38 per diluted share in 2022. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $42.6 million as of December 31, 2023, with working capital of $88.8 million, debt of $0.4 million, and stockholders' equity totaling $186.8 million.
