Summary and Outlook

"We ended 2017 in a strong financial position, reflecting the steady operating performance of our core water operations and year-on-year improvement in our manufacturing segment. The equity partnership agreement that we completed in early March of this year with SUEZ, a global leader in water treatment, and Greenfield, an affiliate of a leading U.S. asset management firm, represents a critical milestone in the development of our Rosarito project. This enterprise will encompass one of the largest desalination plants in the Western Hemisphere, providing needed water to a water stressed region of North America. With capacity of up to 100 million gallons per day upon completion of Phase 2, Rosarito is a transformative project for our company as its capacity will be greater than that of our existing portfolio," Mr. McTaggart concluded.
