Cadiz Inc. released a detailed shareholder letter outlining progress on its Mojave Groundwater Bank, water infrastructure plans, and related businesses. The company is in late-stage due diligence with equity investors for Mojave Water Infrastructure Co. LLC, which will own the project’s pipeline infrastructure.
Cadiz is pursuing a capital structure that shifts from roughly 50% equity / 50% public financing to about 30% equity / 70% public financing to address higher construction costs. It received an invitation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to apply for up to $194 million in WIFIA financing at about 4.7% for the Northern Pipeline. Management believes project assets could ultimately support cash flows exceeding $5 billion and targets full Mojave Groundwater Bank operations, including Northern and Southern Pipelines with storage, within roughly 24–36 months, subject to permitting and financing.
The letter also highlights strong growth at ATEC Water Systems, where baseline orders grew 37% in 2024 and 74% in 2025, and describes additional opportunities at Cadiz Ranch across water, energy, and potential hydrogen projects.
Cadiz Inc. reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $8.6 million, slightly better than the $9.6 million loss a year earlier, as non‑cash stock compensation declined. Revenue fell to $1.6 million from $3.0 million, mainly due to lower ATEC water filtration project shipments.
Operating loss narrowed to $6.8 million, while net interest expense rose to $2.5 million as the company drew more debt. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $16.5 million, supported by a $15 million draw under the Lytton Credit Agreement used to fund the Mojave Groundwater Bank and development activities.
Total assets were $146.1 million and long‑term debt reached $85.6 million. Management emphasizes liquidity planning and ongoing financing efforts to advance the Mojave Groundwater Bank, pipeline conversion and related water supply and storage projects.
Cadiz Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual 2026 Annual Meeting on June 18, 2026. Key items include electing nine directors, approving an amendment to increase authorized common shares, ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as 2026 auditor, and an advisory vote on executive pay.
Stockholders of record as of April 22, 2026, may attend and vote online using a 12-digit control number. The company highlights an independent board, specialized committees, and policies covering ethics, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, insider trading, clawbacks, and equity grants, along with a pay program that leans heavily on long-term equity incentives.
