Artesian Resources reported QQ1 2025 revenue of $25.89 million, up 5.5% year over year, with a solid gross margin of approximately 48.1% and a strong operating margin of 21.4%. Net income of $5.44 million led to EPS of $0.53, reflecting a 23.2% YoY increase in net income and a 23.3% YoY rise in earnings per share. Despite a modest QoQ decline in revenue (-3.59%), profitability remained resilient with EBITDA of $12.81 million and an EBITDAR margin near 49.5%. Operating cash flow was $10.96 million, while capital expenditures totaled $10.40 million, resulting in a free cash flow of $0.56 million for the quarter. Free cash flow was therefore modest, owing largely to the company’s ongoing capex program that supports regulated infrastructure growth. The balance sheet shows total assets of about $808.9 million and total liabilities of $567.2 million, with equity of $241.7 million and net debt of roughly $175.2 million. Liquidity metrics are muted (current ratio ~0.98, quick ratio ~0.77, cash ratio ~0.15), reflecting a working capital position that is adequate but not abundant for surprise liquidity needs. The company maintains a moderate leverage profile (debt to capitalization ~42.5%, debt to equity ~0.74) and an interest coverage of about 2.56x. The dividend payout framework remains intact, with a payout ratio around 57%. The QQ1 2025 results reflect a stable, regulated revenue base, steady cash generation, and ongoing capital deployment to support long-term infrastructure needs. As there is no earnings call transcript data provided in the base materials, management quotes or call-specific guidance could not be incorporated from transcripts. Investors should monitor rate-case developments, capex execution, and regulatory outcomes as the primary drivers of ARTNA’s medium-term performance.}
