Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Corporate Transactions, Significant Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Description of Business Global Water Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “GWRI”) is a water resource management company that owns, operates, and manages water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities in strategically located communities, principally in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. GWRI seeks to deploy an integrated approach, which the Company refers to as “Total Water Management,” a term used to mean managing the entire water cycle by owning and operating the water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities within the same geographic areas in order to both conserve water and maximize its total economic and social value. GWRI uses Total Water Management to promote sustainable communities in areas where the expectation is for growth to outpace the existing potable water supply. The Company’s model focuses on the broad issues of water supply and scarcity and applies principles of water conservation through water reclamation and reuse. The basic premise is that the world’s water supply is limited and yet can be stretched significantly through effective planning, the use of recycled water, and by providing individuals and communities resources that promote wise water usage practices. GWRI currently owns eight water and wastewater utilities in strategically targeted communities in metropolitan Phoenix. GWRI currently serves more than 50,000 people in approximately 19,000 homes within our 328 square miles of certificated service areas, which are serviced by four wholly-owned regulated operating subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016. Approximately 98.9% of the Company’s active service connections are customers of our Santa Cruz and Palo Verde utilities, which are located within a single service area. GWRI has grown significantly since its formation in 2003, with total revenues increasing from $4.9 million in 2004 to $29.8 million in 2016, and total service connections increasing from 8,113 as of December 31, 2004 to 38,026 as of December 31, 2016, with regionally planned service areas large enough to serve approximately two million service connections. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of GWRI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The U.S. dollar is the Company’s reporting currency and functional currency. As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, GWRI qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), under the rules and regulations of the SEC. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. GWRI has elected to take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that the Company is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company has elected to take advantage of some of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding financial statements. Also, as an emerging growth company, the Company can elect to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. GWRI has chosen to take advantage of this extended accounting transition provision. Certain prior period information has been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation to reflect a 100.68 to 1.00 stock split effectuated on April 28, 2016. All share and per share amounts presented in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split. Corporate Transactions Sale of certain MXA and WMA contracts In September 2013, the Company sold its Wastewater Facilities Main Extension Agreements (“MXA”) and Offsite Water Management Agreements (“WMA") for the contemplated Loop 303 service area along with their related rights and obligations to EPCOR Water Arizona Inc. (“EPCOR”) (collectively the “Transfer of Project Agreement”, or “Loop 303 Contracts”). Pursuant to the Transfer of Project Agreement, EPCOR agreed to pay GWRI approximately $4.1 million over a multi-year period. As part of the consideration, GWRI agreed to complete certain engineering work required in the WMAs, which work had been completed prior to January 1, 2015. As the engineering work has been completed, the Company effectively has no further obligations under the WMAs, the MXAs, or the Transfer of Project Agreement. Prior to January 1, 2015, the Company had received $2.8 million of proceeds and recognized income of approximately $3.3 million within other income (expense) in the statement of operations related to the gain on sale of these agreements and the proceeds received prior to January 1, 2015 for engineering work required in the WMAs. The Company received additional proceeds of approximately $296,000 in April 2015 and recognized those amounts as income at that time. Receipt of the remaining $1.0 million of proceeds will be recorded as additional income over time as certain milestones are met between EPCOR and the developers/landowners. Stipulated condemnation of Valencia On March 17, 2015, the Company reached a settlement agreement for a stipulated condemnation to sell the utility operating as Valencia Water Company, Inc. (“Valencia”) to the City of Buckeye (“Buckeye”), which was approved by Buckeye's City Council on March 19, 2015 and by the Maricopa County Superior Court on June 9, 2015. On July 14, 2015, the Company closed the stipulated condemnation of the operations and assets of Valencia with Buckeye. Terms of the condemnation were agreed upon through a settlement agreement in March 2015, pursuant to which Buckeye acquired the operations and assets of Valencia and assumed operations of the utility upon close. Buckeye paid the Company $55.0 million at close, plus an additional $108,000 in working capital adjustments. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $43.0 million before tax liability of $20.2 million during the third quarter of 2015. Buckeye will also pay the Company a growth premium equal to $3,000 for each new water meter installed within Valencia's prior service areas for a 20-year period ending December 31, 2034, subject to a maximum payout of $45.0 million over the term of the agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $1.2 million in other income within the consolidated financial statements related to the growth premium. In consideration of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45-1, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, S ale of Willow Valley Water Company, Inc. On March 23, 2015, the Company reached an agreement to sell the operations and assets of Willow Valley Water Company, Inc. (“Willow Valley”) to EPCOR. EPCOR purchased the operations, assets, and rights used by Willow Valley to operate the utility system for $2.3 million. The transaction was approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission (“ACC”) on March 10, 2016, and the transaction closed on May 9, 2016. Per ASC 360-10-45-9, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Additionally, as the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of Willow Valley were greater than the agreed upon sales price, a loss of $176,000 was recorded in other expense during the first quarter of 2015, when the assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale, to adjust the carrying value of the assets to the agreed upon fair value less cost to sell. An additional loss of $54,000 was recognized upon close of the sale of Willow Valley in the second quarter of 2016. The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015 were as follows: December 31, 2015 Willow Valley (in thousands) Property, plant and equipment $ 5,223 Less Accumulated Depreciation (2,606 ) Net property, plant and equipment 2,617 Goodwill 223 Total assets $ 2,840 Advances in aid of construction $ 70 Contributions in aid of construction — net 423 Total liabilities $ 493 Merger of GWR Global Water Resources Corp. (“GWRC”) On May 3, 2016, the Company completed the merger of GWRC into GWRI. At the time of the merger, GWRC ceased to exist as a British Columbia corporation and the Company continued as the surviving entity of the merger. See Note 7 – “Transactions with Related Parties”. In conjunction with the merger of GWRC into GWRI, the Company recorded $731,000 in accounts payable and $353,000 in deferred compensation on the books of GWRI that were previously recorded at GWRC. In addition to these liabilities, the Company also recorded an approximate $1.4 million tax liability associated with the transfer of GWRC from Canada to the United States. A corresponding reduction in paid-in capital was recorded with the merging of these liabilities into GWRI. Initial Public Offering On April 27, 2016, the SEC declared effective the registration statement relating to the public offering of our common stock. On May 3, 2016, the Company completed the initial public offering of 1,164,800 shares of common stock at $6.25 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $7.3 million (the “U.S. IPO”). The Company granted the underwriter the option to purchase up to an additional 174,720 shares of common stock at the same price, which was exercised by the underwriter on May 11, 2016, for additional gross proceeds of $1.1 million. Our shares of common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols “GWRS” and “GWR”, respectively. Share Retirement In December 2016 the Company retired all outstanding treasury shares obtained as part of the merger of GWRC into the Company. Sonoran Acquisition Liability On March 17, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Sonoran Utility Services, LLC (“Sonoran”) to amend certain provisions of the purchase and sale agreement related to the acquisition of Sonoran’s assets on June 15, 2005. The amended agreement allowed the Company to reduce its $3.8 million acquisition liability due to Sonoran by approximately $1.0 million to $2.8 million, if the Company settled the amount due within ten days of the closing of the Note Purchase Agreement. The Note Purchase Agreement closed on June 24, 2016 and the Sonoran liability was subsequently settled in June 2016. Upon settlement of the Sonoran acquisition liability, the Company recorded a gain of $954,000 in other income for the year ended December 31, 2016. Private Letter Ruling On June 2, 2016, the Company received a Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that, for purposes of deferring the approximately $19.4 million gain realized from the condemnation of the operations and assets of Valencia, determined that the assets converted upon the condemnation of such assets could be replaced through certain reclamation facility improvements contemplated by the Company under Internal Revenue Code §1033 Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §1033, the Company may defer the gain on condemnation through the end of the year 2017. As such, defer the gain on the condemnation of the operations and assets of Valencia, the Company may also acquire other like-kind property such as water and wastewater utilities under §1033 to similarly defer the gain. The acquisition of like-kind property is allowable for the three years subsequent to the year in which the gain was realized, with the ability to apply to the IRS for one-year extensions. Significant Accounting Policies Regulation Our regulated utilities and certain other balances are subject to regulation by the ACC and are therefore subject to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 980, Regulated Operations Property, plant, and equipment Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation provided on a straight-line basis (See Note 3 – “Property, Plant, and Equipment”). Depreciation rates for asset classes of utility property, plant, and equipment are established by the ACC. The cost of additions, including betterments and replacements of units of utility fixed assets are charged to utility property, plant, and equipment. When units of utility property are replaced, renewed, or retired, their cost plus removal or disposal costs, less salvage proceeds, is charged to accumulated depreciation. For non-utility property, plant, and equipment, depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Cost and accumulated depreciation for non-utility property, plant, and equipment retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in earnings. In addition to third party costs, direct personnel costs and indirect construction overhead costs may be capitalized. Interest incurred during the construction period is also capitalized as a component of the cost of the constructed assets, which represents the cost of debt associated with construction activity. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. Revenue Recognition—Water Services Water services revenues are recorded when service is rendered or water is delivered to customers. However, in addition to the monthly basic service charge, the determination and billing of water sales to individual customers is based on the reading of their meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each reporting period, amounts of water delivered to customers since the date of the last meter reading are estimated and the corresponding unbilled revenue is recorded as accrued revenue. Water connection fees are the fees associated with the application process to set up a customer to receive utility service on an existing water meter. These fees are approved by the ACC through the regulatory process and are set based on the costs incurred to establish services including the application process, billing setup, initial meter reading, and service transfer. Because the amounts charged for water connection fees are set by our regulator and not negotiated in conjunction with the pricing of ongoing water service, the connection fees represent the culmination of a separate earnings process and are recognized when the service is provided. For the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $236,000, $276,000, and $366,000 in connection fees, respectively. Meter installation fees are the fees charged to developers or builders associated with installing new water meters. Certain fees for meters are regulated by the ACC, and are refundable to the end customer over a period of time. Refundable meter installation fees are recorded as a liability upon receipt. Other certain meter fees are negotiated directly with developers or builders and are not subject to ACC regulation and represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. These fees are recognized as revenue when the service is rendered, or when a water meter is installed. Revenue Recognition—Wastewater and Recycled Water Services Wastewater service revenues are generally recognized when service is rendered. Wastewater services are billed at a fixed monthly amount per connection, and recycled water services are billed monthly based on volumetric fees. Revenue Recognition—Unregulated Revenues Unregulated Revenues represent those revenues that are not subject to the ratemaking process of the ACC. Unregulated revenues are limited to rental revenue and imputed revenues resulting from certain infrastructure coordination and financing agreement arrangements. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Provisions are made for doubtful accounts due to the inherent uncertainty around the collectability of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as bad debt expense, and is classified as general and administrative expense. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined considering the age of the receivable balance, type of customer (e.g., residential or commercial), payment history, as well as specific identification of any known or expected collectability issues (see Note 4 – “Accounts Receivable”). Infrastructure coordination and financing fees Infrastructure coordination and financing agreements (“ICFAs”) are agreements with developers and homebuilders whereby GWRI, which owns the operating utilities, provides services to plan, coordinate, and finance the water and wastewater infrastructure that would otherwise be required to be performed or subcontracted by the developer or homebuilder. Services provided within these agreements include coordination of construction services for water and wastewater treatment facilities as well as financing, arranging, and coordinating the provision of utility services. ICFA revenue is recognized when the following conditions are met: • the fee is fixed and determinable; • the cash received is nonrefundable; • capacity currently exists to serve the specific lots; and • there are no additional significant performance obligations. As these arrangements are with developers and not with the end water or wastewater customer, revenue recognition coincides with the completion of our performance obligations under the agreement with the developer and our ability to provide fitted capacity for water and wastewater service. Payments received under the agreements are recorded as deferred revenue until the point at which all of the conditions described above are met. Historically ICFAs have been accounted for as revenue pursuant to the obligations being met as outlined above, or as contributions in aid of construction (“CIAC”) when funds were received. Pursuant to Rate Decision No. 74364, as funding is received 70% of ICFAs are now recorded as a hook-up fee (“HUF”) liability until the HUF liability is fully funded, with the remaining amount recorded as revenue once all components of revenue recognition are met (See Note 2 – “Regulatory Decision and Related Accounting and Policy Changes”). Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments in debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents cash deposited as a debt service reserve for certain loans and bonds. The following table summarizes the restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Bond reserve $ — $ 8,824 HUF funds 10 38 Certificate of deposits 218 180 $ 228 $ 9,042 Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s valuation allowance totaled $8,500 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (see Note 10 – “Income Taxes”). We evaluate uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. Recognition (step one) occurs when we conclude that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when we subsequently determine that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited, and to the extent that uncertain tax positions exist, we provide expanded disclosures. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 368,395 options outstanding to acquire an equivalent number of shares of GWRI common stock. As of December 31, 2016, all options were in the money, and had common share equivalents of 19,467, which were not included within the calculation of diluted earnings per share as to do so would be antidilutive in periods of net loss. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 43,395 options outstanding, which options were out of the money in each respective period, and therefore the Company did not have any common share equivalents to be considered for purposes of calculating earnings per share. See Note 11 – “Deferred Compensation Awards”. The changes in weighted average common shares for the year ended December 31, 2015 relate to a share repurchase program initiated in May 2015 and completed in December 2015. Intangible Assets Intangible assets not subject to amortization consist of certain permits expected to be renewable indefinitely, water rights and certain service areas acquired in transactions which did not meet the definition of business combinations for accounting purposes, and are considered to have indefinite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more often if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Amortized intangible assets consist primarily of acquired ICFA contract rights. Pursuant to Rate Decision No. 71878 issued by the ACC on September 15, 2010 for the February 2009 filed rate cases for Santa Cruz, Palo Verde, Valencia, Greater Buckeye, Greater Tonopah, and Willow Valley (the “2010 Regulatory Rate Decision”), ICFA funds received were accounted for as CIAC. The Company established a regulatory liability against the Company’s intangible assets balance to offset the value of the intangible assets related to the expected receipt of ICFA fees in the future. As of January 1, 2014 the Company had a regulatory liability balance of $11.4 million. However, in 2014, in conjunction with Rate Decision No. 74364, the ACC determined that ICFA funds were no longer to be recorded as CIAC, but rather 70% of funds received should be recorded as HUF until the HUF liability is fully funded, with the remaining amount to be deferred and recognized according to the Company’s ICFA revenue recognition policy (see ‘Note 2 – Regulatory Decision and Related Accounting and Policy Changes”). Accordingly, in 2014 30%, or $3.4 million, of the regulatory liability was reversed in connection with the recognition of the rate decision. Debt Issuance Costs In connection with the issuance of some of our long-term debt, we have incurred legal and other costs that we believe are directly attributable to realizing the proceeds of the debt issued. These costs are netted against long-term debt and amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the respective debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts totaled $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, of which $2.2 million was for the write off of debt issuance costs and $428,000 was for the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2016. Amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts totaled $486,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, of which $282,000 was for the write off of debt issuance costs related to the MidFirst loan which was retired in July 2015, and $204,000 was for the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2015. Amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts totaled $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, of which $696,000 was for the write off of debt issuance costs and $327,000 was for the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2014. The 2014 write off of debt issuance costs was related to the Series 2012A and 2012B bonds and the Regions Term loan, which were retired in 2014. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Management evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an indicator of possible impairment exists, an undiscounted cash flow analysis would be prepared to determine whether there is an actual impairment. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Generally, fair value will be determined using appraisals or valuation techniques such as the present value of expected future cash flows. Advances and Contributions in Aid of Construction The Company has various agreements with developers and builders, whereby funds, water line extensions, or wastewater line extensions are provided to us by the developers and are considered refundable advances for construction. These advances in aid of construction (“AIAC”) are non-interest-bearing and are subject to refund to the developers through annual payments that are computed as a percentage of the total annual gross revenue earned from customers connected to utility services constructed under the agreement over a specified period. Upon the expiration of the agreements’ refunding period, the remaining balance of the advance becomes nonrefundable and at that time is considered CIAC. CIAC are amortized as a reduction of depreciation expense over the estimated remaining life of the related utility plant. For rate-making purposes, utility plant funded by advances or contributions in aid of construction are excluded from rate base. AIAC balances of $311,000 and zero were transferred to CIAC for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. See Note 9 – “Debt” for information as to the fair value of our long-term debt. Our refundable AIAC have a carrying value of $62.0 million and $61.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Portions of these non-interest-bearing instruments are payable annually through 2032 and amounts not paid by the contract expiration dates become nonrefundable. Their relative fair values cannot be accurately estimated because future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer connections, customer consumption levels, and future rate increases. However, the fair value of these amounts would be less than their carrying value due to the non-interest-bearing feature. Asset Retirement Obligations Liabilities for asset retirement obligations are typically recorded at fair value in the period in which they are incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. Our legal obligations for retirement reflect principally the retirement of wastewater treatment facilities, which are required to be closed in accordance with the Clean Closure Requirements of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). The Clean Closure Requirements of ADEQ for wastewater facilities are driven by a need to protect the environment from inadvertent contamination associated with the decommissioning of these systems. As such, our regulated subsidiaries incur asset retirement obligations. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held $218,000 and $180,000 in certificates of deposit, respectively, or letters of credit to benefit ADEQ for such anticipated closure costs. Water systems, unlike wastewater systems, do not require Aquifer Protection Permits or the associated Clean Closure Requirement obligation. Amounts recorded for asset retirement obligations are subject to various assumptions and determinations, such as determining whether a legal obligation exists to remove assets; estimating the fair value of the costs of removal; estimating when final removal will occur; and determining the credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rates to be utilized on discounting future liabilities. Changes that may arise over time with regard to these assumptions will change amounts recorded in the future. Estimating the fair value of the costs of removal were determined based on third-party costs. Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. In consideration of ASC 280— Segment Reporting While the Company reports its revenue, disaggregated by service type, on the face of its Statements of Operations, the Company does not manage the business based on any performance measure at the individual revenue stream level. The Company does not have any customers that contribute more than 10% to the Company’s revenues or revenue streams. Additionally we note that the CODM uses consolidated financial information to evaluate the Company’s performance, which is the same basis on which he communicates the Company’s results and performance to the Board of Directors. It is upon this consolidated basis from which he bases all significant decisions regarding the allocation of the Company’s resources on a consolidated level. Based on the information described above and in accordance with the applicable literature, management has concluded that the Company is currently organized and operated as one operating and reportable segment.
