Its second-quarter release reports revenue, net income, capital spending and acquisitions, and its dividend announcements track its consecutive dividend count.

Second-Quarter and Six-Month Results

Second-quarter operating revenue was $23.515 million, up $4.316 million from the prior-year quarter. Net income was $7.615 million, up $2.563 million, and Earnings Per Share were $0.49, up $0.14.

The company attributed the revenue increase primarily to rates effective March 1, 2026 and customer growth, partly offset by a reset to zero of the Distribution System Improvement Charge.

Outlook

Rates effective March 1, 2026, the Distribution System Improvement Charge reset, capital spending, wastewater acquisitions and the board's quarterly declarations are the relevant considerations. The second quarter is the most recent reported period, and the August declaration is the latest dividend action. The company's 623rd consecutive dividend count is the figure it reports, alongside the $0.2280 quarterly rate.
