Strong Liquidity and Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents of $126.3 million as of March 31, 2026 (up $18.5 million from the year-ago quarter), working capital of $144.3 million (up $8.1 million YoY), stockholders' equity of $223.6 million, and no significant outstanding debt.
Services / O&M Growth
Services segment revenue increased by $1.2 million; O&M revenue was $8.9 million for Q1 2026, up 15% year-over-year, including a new 3-year municipal contract in Southern California (~$4.5 million total expected over 3 years).
Bulk Water Stability and Expansion
Bulk revenue increased by $333,000 in Q1 2026 driven by contributions from CW-Bahamas' Cat Island desalination plant; a second plant is expected to commission this quarter, supporting stable recurring Caribbean bulk revenues.
Awarded Construction Backlog Expected to Convert in 2026
PERC was awarded two projects (a $3.9 million Colorado drinking water expansion and an $11.7 million Northern California wastewater recycling plant) with remaining revenue of more than $13 million expected primarily in 2026.
Tourism Momentum Supporting Retail Recovery
Record-breaking tourism in Grand Cayman: stay-over visitor arrivals up 11.1% YoY in Q1, with March 2026 the best month on record; management expects tourism-driven retail demand to support higher retail water sales in Q2 as April rainfall was lower than April 2025.
Market Drivers and Growth Opportunities
Favorable secular trends (water scarcity, regulatory shifts in Florida toward membrane treatment) and an active pipeline (Florida, Arizona, California) position the company to grow manufacturing, design-build, and O&M businesses; management is pursuing targeted acquisitions to replicate PERC's design-build success in Florida.
