Forward guidance

Consolidated Water is concerned about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world economy and its business but remains optimistic about the future. They will remain vigilant and responsive to any challenges that may arise as this global pandemic plays out and will continue their mission of addressing water resource challenges. This includes continuing to actively evaluate acquisition targets in North America that would expand their geographic footprint and diversify their revenue streams.

Headwinds

  • Travel interruptions and resulting decline in tourism will likely adversely affect our retail water business on Grand Cayman.
  • Our revenue from bulk water supply contracts with government entities is not as directly affected by a short-term decline in tourism but could be adversely impacted over the longer term by continued weakness in the economies of the Cayman Islands and The Bahamas.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has already drastically slowed the economies of these countries.
  • While our U.S.-based businesses are not affected by tourism, these businesses could be adversely affected by a decline in the U.S. and world economies or supply chain interruptions.
