Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Capitalize on the June 2025 temporary rate increase to boost water sales revenue, which was already up 3.3% year-to-date for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This 1.22% temporary rate increase on gross water sales took effect on June 3, 2025, in Delaware, projected to add approximately $1.2 million in annual revenue. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, water sales revenue specifically increased by 3.1%, driven by this charge and customer additions, even with a slight decrease in consumption.

Aggressively market the Service Line Protection (SLP) Plan to existing customers following the December 2024 rate increase, driving the existing non-utility revenue growth. Non-utility operating revenue saw an increase of approximately 10.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, directly resulting from the rate increase placed into effect on December 1, 2024. Year-to-date through September 30, 2025, non-utility revenue growth was 10.3%, showing the success of this cross-selling effort.

Target new residential and commercial developments within current Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania service territories for immediate customer additions. Artesian Resources Corporation operates as a leading provider on the Delmarva Peninsula, with significant operations in Delaware. Growth in water sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was attributed in part to an increase in the number of customers served, which is the primary metric reflecting success in adding customers within existing boundaries.

Leverage the $7.2 million PFAS settlement credit to customers as a public relations win, reinforcing customer loyalty and brand trust. Artesian Water Company, Inc. received approval to return these proceeds from a national class action settlement against 3M. Active Delaware water customers as of December 1, 2025, will receive a one-time credit of approximately $73, which will appear on their subsequent water bill in December 2025.

You're looking to maximize sales from the current customer base and existing service areas; the numbers show this is working well. The 10.3% non-utility revenue growth is a clear win from the December 2024 rate adjustment on SLPPs. Also, the 3.3% water sales revenue growth year-to-date shows that even without major new territory expansion, core business revenue is moving up, helped by the 1.22% temporary rate increase effective in June 2025. The $7.2 million PFAS credit is a tangible benefit you can use to reinforce the message of responsible stewardship, which helps keep those SLPP customers loyal.

• Water Sales Revenue Growth (9M YTD 2025): 3.3%
• SLPP Revenue Growth (Q3 2025): 10.8%
• PFAS Credit Amount Returned to Customers: $7.2 million
• Individual Delaware Customer Credit: Approximately $73

Finance: draft the Q4 2025 customer count projection by Friday.

Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at Artesian Resources Corporation's playbook for taking its established utility and service expertise beyond the Delmarva Peninsula footprint. The core business, which is the oldest and largest regulated water utility on the Delmarva Peninsula, currently supplies about 9.5 billion gallons of water per year through 1,491 miles of water main, serving over a third of Delaware residents. While the Delaware water business remains the anchor, making up approximately 90% of revenues, the company has a clear strategy to expand its market reach.

Here's a quick look at the scale Artesian Resources Corporation is working with as it eyes new markets, based on the latest reported figures:

The Market Development strategy focuses on leveraging existing capabilities-water/wastewater operations, engineering, and service line protection-into new geographic territories. This isn't about inventing new services; it's about selling what you do well to new customers in adjacent areas.

Pursue contract operations for municipal water and wastewater systems in contiguous states outside the Delmarva Peninsula.

• Artesian Resources Corporation currently holds water service territory in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
• The company generates revenue from water and wastewater operation services provided to customers under contract.
• The strategy targets contiguous states, which would logically include New Jersey and Virginia, building on existing contract service experience, such as the 20-year contract for wastewater facilities in Middletown, Delaware.

Acquire smaller, non-regulated water systems in adjacent counties of New Jersey or Virginia, mirroring past regional acquisitions.

You've seen this play before; Artesian Water Company, Inc. acquired the water assets of the Town of Port Deposit, Maryland, and closed on the acquisition of the Town of Clayton Water System in 2022. The goal here is to replicate those successful, smaller, in-fill acquisitions in new adjacent states. This approach helps build a regulated footprint outside the core Delmarva area without the massive undertaking of a greenfield utility build-out.

Expand the existing engineering and consulting services to new utility clients beyond the current service area.

Artesian Consulting Engineers, Inc. is the vehicle for this expansion. The company already has agreements to provide water or operate water/wastewater systems for institutions in Maryland and Delaware. The Market Development move here is actively marketing these design and operating services to utility clients in states like New Jersey or Virginia, using the established track record of projects like the water recycling partnership in Middletown, Delaware.

Establish a presence in high-growth, non-regulated utility markets with a focus on commercial water management services.

The non-utility segment, which includes Service Line Protection Plans (SLP Plans) and contract services, is a key growth area. In 2024, non-utility operating revenue grew by approximately $0.1 million, or 1.7%. For the first six months of 2025, the company noted growth driven by increased SLP Plan revenues. This segment offers a lower-regulation path to revenue diversification, which you can scale by targeting commercial clients needing specialized water management outside the regulated service boundaries.

Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) can build new offerings on top of its existing customer base on the Delmarva Peninsula. This is about taking what you already do well-managing water and wastewater-and packaging it differently or expanding the service scope for the customers you already bill.

Introduce advanced water quality testing and reporting services for large commercial and industrial customers. While Artesian Water Company, Inc. already serves industrial customers, formalizing advanced testing as a distinct product line capitalizes on existing regulatory compliance needs and infrastructure work. You've already invested heavily in this area; for the first nine months of 2025, Artesian Resources Corporation invested $40.5 million in water and wastewater infrastructure, which included PFAS treatment upgrades. This existing commitment to quality sets the stage for selling specialized testing services to commercial entities needing validated compliance data.

Offer smart water metering and consumption monitoring tools to residential customers, enhancing efficiency and data services. Artesian Resources Corporation already uses radio read technology for meter reading, which is a step toward data services. The company serves a growing population, delivering high-quality water to over 300,000 people across the Delmarva Peninsula. Offering a premium tier of service that provides real-time consumption data, perhaps via a customer portal, leverages the existing meter infrastructure and could drive adoption of Service Line Protection Plans (SLPP). Non-utility operating revenue, which includes SLPP, saw an increase of approximately $0.2 million, or 10.8%, in the third quarter of 2025 alone, showing that customers are willing to pay for protection and related services.

Develop a full-service, non-utility home energy audit or efficiency program, leveraging existing customer relationships. This moves Artesian Resources Corporation further into the non-utility space, similar to the successful SLPP offering. The existing utility base in Delaware is substantial, with approximately 90,300 metered water customers as of December 31, 2020, providing a large pool for cross-selling. The overall non-utility revenue growth seen in Q3 2025 suggests a receptive market for value-added services outside the core regulated business. For context, total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reached $84.9 million, up 4.7% year-over-year, showing the scale Artesian Resources Corporation operates at.

Create a specialized non-utility maintenance service for private wells and septic systems in the Delmarva area. Artesian Resources Corporation already manages wastewater services, which is a natural adjacency to septic maintenance. This product development would target customers outside the current utility footprint in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The company is already expanding its reach; for instance, wastewater revenue saw an increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 11.6%, in the first nine months of 2025 due to customer growth. This demonstrates an existing capability to integrate and manage new customer service lines. The company's strong financial performance in 2025, with net income for the first half of the year at $11.7 million (up 20.4% year-over-year), provides the capital base to pilot such specialized, non-regulated services.

Here's a look at the financial context supporting investment in these new service lines:

The success of existing non-utility revenue streams, like the Service Line Protection Plan, is a key indicator for new product acceptance. Consider the growth in that segment:

• Non-utility operating revenue increased approximately $0.2 million in Q3 2025.
• This Q3 growth represented an 10.8% increase year-over-year for the segment.
• The growth was linked to a rate increase effective December 1, 2024.
• The company is the eighth largest investor-owned water utility by total capitalization.

Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) might step outside its core water and wastewater service area. The numbers show the current utility business is growing, with year-to-date revenue through Q3 2025 hitting $84.9 million and net income reaching $18.7 million for the same period. Still, rising operational costs, like the new electric supply contract adding approximately $0.5 million annually starting May 2025 due to a 25% rate increase, make diversification compelling.

Acquire a small, non-utility environmental consulting firm to enter the broader environmental services market.

• The environmental consulting market size stands at $46.50 billion in 2025.
• This market is projected to grow at a 6.01% CAGR through 2030.
• Full environmental programs for clients can range from $10,000 to over $100,000.
• A mid-sized firm targeting regional clients might allocate between $50,000 and $150,000 for initial setup costs like licensing and proprietary tools.

Invest in a renewable energy generation project, like solar farms on utility land, to offset the $0.5 million annual increase in electric costs.

• Utility-scale solar farm installation costs in 2025 range from $0.80 to $1.36 per watt.
• A 1MW solar farm installation costs between $800,000 and $1,360,000, excluding land acquisition.
• Such a 1MW project can generate annual revenues between $40,000 and $100,000.
• The typical payback period for these projects is estimated at 7-12 years.

Launch a regulated natural gas or electric distribution utility in a new state, leveraging the existing utility operational expertise.

• Artesian Water has already petitioned for a temporary rate increase of 1.22%, providing approximately $1.2 million in additional annual revenue.
• The company filed for a larger, permanent rate increase to gain approximately $9.4 million in annualized revenue, representing a requested 10.75% increase.
• Year-to-date through Q3 2025, Artesian Resources Corporation invested $40.5 million in water and wastewater infrastructure.
• The annualized dividend rate as of October 2025 is $1.2544 per share.

Enter the real estate development market by acquiring and developing land near new or upgraded water and wastewater infrastructure.

• Artesian Resources Corporation invested $26.3 million in infrastructure projects during H1 2025 alone.
• The company is focused on capital improvements, including a new wastewater treatment plant construction.
• The Q3 2025 diluted EPS was $0.68.

Here's a quick look at the potential scale for two non-utility paths:

For the utility expansion, consider that Artesian Resources Corporation achieved a 20.4% increase in net income year-over-year for H1 2025, reaching $11.7 million.
