FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “strategy,” or “anticipates,” or the negative of those words or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, but not limited to, the following factors:

•the risks associated with the proposed transactions with Quadvest, L.P., a Texas limited partnership and Quadvest Wholesale, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (together “Quadvest”), including, the risk of the proposed transactions not closing on the anticipated timeline, or at all, the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals, and the ability to successfully integrate Quadvest’s operations and realize the projected financial and other benefits of the proposed transactions;

•the effect of water, utility, environmental and other governmental policies and regulations, including regulatory actions concerning rates, authorized return on equity, authorized capital structures, capital expenditures, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) and other decisions;

•changes in demand for water and other services;

•unanticipated weather conditions and changes in seasonality including those affecting water supply and customer usage;

•the effect of the impacts of climate change;

•unexpected costs, charges or expenses;

•our ability to successfully evaluate investments in new business and growth initiatives;

•contamination of our water supplies and damage or failure of our water equipment and infrastructure;

•the risk of work stoppages, strikes and other labor-related actions;

•catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, terrorist acts, physical attacks, cyber-attacks, epidemic, or other similar occurrences;

•changes in general economic, political, business and financial market conditions, including changes resulting from the recent U.S. government shutdown;

•the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, which can be affected by various factors, including credit ratings, changes in interest rates, compliance with regulatory requirements, compliance with the terms and conditions of our outstanding indebtedness and general market and economic conditions; and

•legislative and general market and economic developments.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of H2O America to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Results for a quarter are not indicative of results for a full year due to seasonality and other factors. In addition, actual results, performance or achievements are subject to other risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to our overall business, including those more fully described in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In May 2025, the Company changed the corporate name from SJW Group to H2O America. We will not distinguish between our prior and current corporate name and will refer to our current corporate name throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. As such, unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “H2O America,” “company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to H2O America, a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries.
