Forward guidance
Consolidated Water plans to continue expanding its business through organic growth, acquisitions, and new projects, as they further develop and broaden their water solution offerings.
Tailwinds
- PERC's strong performance, including the expansion of its recurring revenue stream from operating and maintenance contracts, to continue in 2021.
- Conditions in the design-build market are also improving and that project activity will increase significantly in 2021, which should prove quite positive for our PERC business.
- Aerex has been awarded two contracts to manufacture equipment for municipal water treatment projects in Florida.
- Aerex is presently also targeting three additional potential manufacturing projects in Florida.
- Seeing some new opportunities for bidding on seawater desalination projects in the Caribbean.
Headwinds
- The pandemic has adversely effected the finances of many communities across our service areas and they are increasingly looking for innovative public-private partnership arrangements to address their water challenges.
- Aerex’s largest customer informed us last October that it expects to suspend its purchases until the first quarter of 2022 due to inventory management related factors.
- Manufacturing segment revenue to be down in the first part of 2021 as compared to last year.
- Retail revenue declined due to a 13% decrease in the volume of water sold by Cayman Water primarily as a result of the tourism restrictions which were in effect for the last nine months of 2020 on Grand Cayman Island.
- Decrease in bulk water revenue was due to two new water supply contracts that commenced in February and July of 2019 with the Water Authority-Cayman at lower per gallon rates than the contracts they replaced, as well as a decline in revenue of approximately $1.5 million from the company’s Bahamas operations arising from lower energy prices which correspondingly reduced the energy pass-through component of CW-Bahamas’ rates.
