Forward guidance
Company believes that solid financial condition and ample liquidity provides the solid foundation necessary for dealing with the challenges of the current economic environment and is well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise to address these needs and expand or enhance operations.
Tailwinds
- Strong balance sheet with $38 million in cash enables us to continue to execute on our growth strategies.
- PERC provides a solid platform upon which to expand to North America our core business of designing, constructing and operating desalination plants.
- Cayman Islands are well positioned to quickly rebound from the economic downturn created by the pandemic once a vaccine is available and regular tourism resumes.
- Addition of PERC has also been highly complementary to our existing business and overall mission, supporting our pursuit of water reuse projects and other emerging opportunities with a comprehensive suite of solutions for improving water infrastructure.
- Bulk water operations in the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas have continued to operate without incident and have been much less affected by the pandemic than our retail business.
Headwinds
- Retail segment experienced a decline in revenue compared to last year, mainly due to the continuing closure of the borders in the Cayman Islands to tourist travel in response to the pandemic, as well as to the much wetter weather conditions in the Cayman Islands during the third quarter.
- Bulk segment revenue that is generated in the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands declined slightly period-over-period largely due to lower energy costs which reduced the energy pass-through charges to our Bahamian customer.
- Net income from services was largely affected by the amortization expense from the acquisition.
- The pandemic has caused unprecedented complications across all industries and companies, and does not appear to be getting any closer to ending.
- Sales in retail business remain lower than normal.
