Consolidated Water (NASDAQ: CWCO) 2025 revenue $132.1M, EPS $1.16
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. reported full-year 2025 results showing essentially flat sales but stronger profitability from its core business. Revenue was $132.1 million, down 1% from $134.0 million in 2024, as services revenue fell 9% to $46.3 million due mainly to project completions and a permitting delay on the Kalaeloa, Hawaii desalination project.
Despite lower services revenue, gross profit rose to $48.4 million, or 37% of revenue, from $45.6 million, or 34%, helped by higher-margin retail and manufacturing operations and lower bulk segment costs. Net income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders increased to $18.6 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to $17.9 million, or $1.12 per diluted share. Total net income, including discontinued operations, was $18.3 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, versus $28.2 million, or $1.77, which previously included a large discontinued operations contribution. The company increased its quarterly dividend 27.3% to $0.14 per share beginning in the third quarter of 2025 and ended the year with $123.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and stockholders’ equity of $221.7 million.

Insights
2025 showed resilient core earnings, better margins and a stronger balance sheet despite project-driven revenue pressure.
Consolidated Water generated 2025 revenue of $132.1 million, down 1% year over year as services revenue fell 9% to $46.3 million following completion of major design-build jobs and a permitting delay at the Hawaii desalination project. Retail and manufacturing segments grew, with retail volume up 8.3% to 1.09 billion gallons.
Gross margin improved to 37% from 34%, lifting net income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders to $18.6 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, versus $17.9 million, or $1.12, in 2024. Reported total net income declined to $18.3 million from $28.2 million, reflecting the absence of a large contribution from discontinued operations in the prior year.
The Hawaii project permitting delay is shifting construction revenue and cash flows into future periods, but management notes all major design milestones are complete and expects construction to commence later in 2026. Meanwhile, cash and cash equivalents increased to $123.8 million and dividends declared per share rose from $0.41 to $0.53, underscoring balance sheet capacity and a more generous capital return profile. Actual future growth will depend on the timing of Hawaii project approvals and continued demand across Caribbean and U.S. markets.
