About Cadiz

Cadiz finds and moves water to people in California. The company also cleans water and grows desert crops. It builds pipelines to help communities get fresh water.

Pipes, Filters, and Desert Farms

  • Water Supply: Rights to 2.5 million acre-feet of groundwater, where an acre-foot is a standard unit for measuring large water volumes.
  • Water Transport: Network of 220 miles of existing pipeline used to move water between different regional storage systems.
  • Water Filtration: Specialized systems that remove pollutants like arsenic from drinking water; generated $14.5 million of total 2025 revenue.
  • Farming Operations: Use of desert land for growing grain crops, including alfalfa, which generated $1.8 million in 2025 revenue.

Strategic Moves and New Partners

  • Acquired the assets of ATEC Systems, Inc. in 2022 to add water cleaning technology to its business portfolio.
  • Entered a $51 million credit agreement with Lytton Rancheria of California in October 2025 to fund water infrastructure projects.
  • Received an invitation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in February 2026 for a $194 million infrastructure loan.
  • Selected Stantec Inc. in 2025 to lead the engineering and construction management for the Mojave Groundwater Bank.
  • Contracted W.M. Lyles in 2025 to serve as the construction manager for the Northern Pipeline conversion project.

How the Company Stands Out

Cadiz uses a natural desert aquifer to store water underground, which prevents loss from surface evaporation. Its water cleaning systems successfully removed arsenic from community wells, leading the federal government to lift emergency bottled water orders in 2026.

By the Numbers

  • Revenue was $5.1 million in Q4 2025, up 7% from Q4 2024.
  • Net loss reached $9.8 million in Q4 2025, worsening 13.1% from the previous year.
  • ATEC sales reached $14.5 million for the full year 2025, up from $7.9 million in 2024.
  • Operating cash flow hit negative $6.9 million in Q4 2025, worsening 11.4% year-over-year.

Bottom Line

Cadiz has evolved from a farming operation into a provider of regional water storage and transport infrastructure. Its focus on water cleaning technology and pipeline management helps address long-term water shortages in California.
