This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

H2O America’s expansion is increasingly financed by debt and operating cash while operating margins remain broadly stable.
Operating cash flow nearly doubled from FY2021 to FY2025, while net income rose by a smaller proportion; that widening gap indicates cash conversion improved beyond what accounting profit alone suggests. But FY2025 investment outflows of$520M exceeded operating cash flow, while financing supplied$285M , revealing that the company’s investment pace still depends partly on outside capital rather than retained cash.
