Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Recent Developments Middlesex Water Company (Middlesex or the Company) is the parent company and sole shareholder of Tidewater Utilities, Inc. (Tidewater), Pinelands Water Company (Pinelands Water) and Pinelands Wastewater Company (Pinelands Wastewater) (collectively, Pinelands), Utility Service Affiliates, Inc. (USA), and Utility Service Affiliates (Perth Amboy) Inc. (USA-PA). Southern Shores Water Company, LLC (Southern Shores) and White Marsh Environmental Systems, Inc. (White Marsh) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tidewater. The financial statements for Middlesex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated notes within the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2023 Form 10-K) are applicable to these financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (including normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2024, the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Information included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2023 audited financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K. Recent Developments United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Issues Final Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Regulations - In April 2024, the USEPA finalized drinking water regulations for PFAS, establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for three PFAS compounds (Regulated PFAS) that are lower than the current New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection MCLs adhered to by the Company. Under the new USEPA regulations effective April 2024, water systems must monitor for Regulated PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by April 2027), followed by ongoing compliance monitoring. Water systems must also provide the public with information on the levels of Regulated PFAS in their drinking water beginning in 2027. Water systems have five years (by April 2029) to implement solutions that reduce Regulated PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking water levels exceed these MCLs. Beginning in April 2029, water systems that have Regulated PFAS in drinking water which exceeds one or more of these MCLs must take action to reduce levels of these PFAS compounds in their drinking water and must provide notification to the public of the violation. In anticipation of these new USEPA standards, in 2023, the Company began implementing its strategy to meet these lower MCLs for Regulated PFAS and is currently performing preliminary engineering studies to ensure that effective PFAS treatment approaches are implemented. Recent Accounting Guidance There is no new adopted or proposed accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters Middlesex – The approval by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) in February 2024 of the negotiated settlement of the Middlesex 2023 base rate case is expected to increase annual operating revenues by $15.4 million, effective March 1, 2024. The approved tariff rates were designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital of $563.1 million, based on an authorized return on common equity of 9.6%. Middlesex has made capital infrastructure investments to ensure prudent upgrade and replacement of its utility assets to support continued regulatory compliance, resilience and overall quality of service. In August 2023, Middlesex and 3M Company (3M) executed a settlement agreement (Settlement Agreement) to resolve a lawsuit Middlesex previously initiated claiming 3M introduced PFAS, which includes Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), into the Company’s water supply for its Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant (Park Avenue Plant). The rate case settlement provides that the net proceeds from the 3M Settlement Agreement were to be used to mitigate the increase in customer rates and reimburse Middlesex for previously incurred costs for the construction of the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, including depreciation and carrying costs. This resulted in the reclassification of $48.3 million from Regulatory Liabilities to Contributions in Aid of Construction on the March 31, 2024 balance sheet. The Company also recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the recovery of $0.9 million for depreciation and $3.2 million for carrying costs associated with the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, as well as the recovery of $1.4 million of previously incurred operating treatment costs while the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades were in process. The Middlesex Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Plan, which was approved by the NJBPU in January 2024, has commenced and Middlesex expects to submit a customer surcharge filing with the NJBPU in July 2024 to recover costs incurred replacing Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines. The surcharge is for costs to be incurred through June 2024 and is required to be reset every six months over the life of the LSLR Plan. The current estimates for replacement of Middlesex and Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines under the LSLR Plan are approximately $46 million to $77 million over a nine-year period. Cost recovery for replacing Company-owned lead service lines are recoverable through traditional base rate case filings. As allowed under its NJBPU approved Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) Foundation Filing, in April 2024, Middlesex filed a petition with the NJBPU, seeking to establish a DSIC tariff rate that would result in $0.5 million of annual revenues. The tariff rate, if approved, would apply to General Service customers and would be based on meter size. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the request. Tidewater - In December 2023, the Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC) approved Tidewater’s application to implement a new DSIC. Effective January 1, 2024, Tidewater implemented a DSIC rate of 3.71%, which is expected to generate revenue of approximately $1.3 million annually. A Delaware DISC is subject to a semi-annual reset with an overall maximum rate of 7.5%. Twin Lakes Utilities, Inc. (Twin Lakes) – Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver (the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued an Order affirming the ALJ’s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $1.7 million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court’s review of the merits arguments contained in Twin Lakes’ PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes’ emergency petition, pending its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC’s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September 2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the Commonwealth Court’s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address Twin Lakes’ claims that because the $1.7 million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex’s constitutional rights, Middlesex’s refusal to submit this escrow payment would jeopardize the relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a decision denying Twin Lakes’ Appeal Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania Courts’ failure to address Twin Lakes’ claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (US District Court) to address the issue of whether the PAPUC’s Order violated Middlesex’s rights under the United States Constitution. On January 18, 2024, the US District Court issued a decision dismissing Middlesex’s complaint without addressing Middlesex’s claims on the merits. On January 31, 2024, Middlesex filed a Notice of Appeal of the US District Court’s decision with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Third Circuit Court). The Third Circuit Court has issued a briefing schedule that will extend into July 2024 and it is expected that oral arguments will be scheduled before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court following the completion of the briefing schedule. The financial results, total assets and financial obligations of Twin Lakes are not material to Middlesex.

Note 3 – Capitalization Common Stock – During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 4,775 common shares (approximately $0.3 million) and 29,810 common shares (approximately $2.3 million) respectively, issued under the Middlesex Water Company Investment Plan. Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU to issue and sell up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock, without par value, through December 31, 2025. Sales of additional shares of common stock are part of the Company’s comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment program. As described below in “Long-term Debt”, the NJBPU also approved the debt funding component of the financing plan. Long-term Debt – Subject to regulatory approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant. To the extent possible and fiscally prudent, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government programs provide financing at interest rates typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU to borrow up to $300.0 million from the New Jersey SRF Program, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, private placement and other financial institutions as needed through December 31, 2025. The Company expects to issue debt securities in a series of one or more transaction offerings over a multi-year period to help fund Middlesex’s multi-year capital construction program. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first enter into a construction loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. When construction on the qualifying project is substantially complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of New Jersey. Under the Delaware SRF program, borrowers 1) enter into a long-term note agreement for a term not to exceed twenty years, 2) submit requisitions for cost reimbursements during the construction period for up to two years after the agreement is executed and 3) as the proceeds are received from the requisitions, borrowers record a corresponding debt obligation amount. In April 2024, the DEPSC approved four Tidewater Delaware SRF loans totaling $6.6 million. These loans are for the construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection of transmission mains and construction of a water treatment facility. Tidewater expects to close on these loans in the 2nd quarter of 2024. Each project has its own construction timetable with the last spending set to occur in 2026. Separately, Tidewater has three active construction projects funded by prior year Delaware SRF loans totaling $13.3 million with remaining availability of funds for borrowing. These loans are for the construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank and construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection of transmission mains. Tidewater has drawn a total of $9.7 million through March 31, 2024 and expects that the requisitions will continue through mid-2025. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of First Mortgage Bonds (FMBs) and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable and the FMBs in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the FMBs were as follows: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"> </td><td> </td> <td colspan="15" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center">(Thousands of Dollars)</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"> </td><td style="font-weight: bold; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="7" style="white-space: nowrap; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">March 31, 2024</td><td style="font-weight: bold; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="7" style="white-space: nowrap; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">December 31, 2023</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"> </td><td> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center">Carrying</td><td> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center">Fair</td><td> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center">Carrying</td><td> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center">Fair</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td><td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">Amount</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">Value</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">Amount</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"> </td> <td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">Value</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="width: 48%">FMBs</td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 10%; text-align: right">132,619</td><td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 10%; text-align: right">129,092</td><td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 10%; text-align: right">133,374</td><td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 10%; text-align: right">131,745</td><td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td></tr> </table> It was not practicable to estimate the fair value on our outstanding long-term debt for which there is no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market. For details, including carrying value, interest rates and due dates on these series of long-term debt, please refer to those series noted as “Amortizing Secured Notes” and “State Revolving Trust Notes” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Capital Stock and Long-Term Debt. The carrying amount of these instruments was $231.0 million and $231.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Customer advances for construction have carrying amounts of $21.1 million and $21.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Their relative fair values cannot be accurately estimated since future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer connections, customer consumption levels and future rate increases. Substantially all of the utility plant of the Company is subject to the lien of its mortgage, which includes debt service and capital ratio covenants. The Company is in compliance with all of its mortgage covenants and restrictions.

Note 5 – Business Segment Data The Company has identified two reportable segments. One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial, industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey and Delaware. This segment also includes regulated wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware. The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters by New Jersey and Delaware with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware. Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third-party lender. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Generally, a lease agreement exists if the Company determines that the arrangement gives the Company control over the use of an identified asset and obtains substantially all of the benefits from the identified asset. The Company has entered into an operating lease of office space for administrative purposes, expiring in 2030. The Company has not entered into any finance leases. The exercise of a lease renewal option for the Company’s administrative offices is solely at the discretion of the Company. The right-of-use (ROU) asset recorded represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount rate and as such the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Given the impacts of accounting for regulated operations, and the resulting recognition of expense at the amounts recovered in customer rates, expenditures for operating leases are consistent with lease expense and were $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $14 million in the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for upgrade or replacement of existing infrastructure, customer growth, residential new home construction and sales, project scheduling, supply chain issues and continued refinement of project scope and costs. With continued upward pressure on mortgage interest rates, as well as other financial market uncertainties, there is no assurance that projected customer growth and residential new home construction and sales will occur. PFOA Matter – In November 2021, the Company was served with two PFOA-related class action lawsuits seeking restitution for medical, water replacement and other related costs and economic damages. Middlesex and 3M agreed to enter into a joint mediation on these lawsuits and their ultimate resolution is not known at this time. For further information on the 3M Settlement Agreement, see Note 2, Rate and Regulatory Matters, Middlesex. Contingencies – Based on our operations in the heavily-regulated water and wastewater industries, the Company is routinely involved in disputes, claims, lawsuits and other regulatory and legal matters, including responsibility for fines and penalties relative to regulatory compliance. At this time, Management does not believe the final resolution of any such matters, whether asserted or unasserted, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company maintains business insurance coverage that may mitigate the effect of any current or future loss contingencies. Change in Control Agreements – The Company has Change in Control Agreements with its executive officers that provide compensation and benefits in the event of termination of employment under certain conditions in connection with a change in control of the Company.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $0.9 million over the remainder of the current year. Other Postretirement Benefits – The Company’s retirement plan other than pensions (Other Benefits Plan) covers substantially all currently eligible retired employees. Employees hired after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance. For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not make cash contributions to its Other Benefits Plan.

Note 9 – Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts for services on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company’s regulated revenue from contracts with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general economic conditions in the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer. Non-regulated service contract revenues consist of base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers. Fees are billed monthly and are due within 30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers. These contracts expire at various times through June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions. Substantially all of the amounts included in operating revenues and accounts receivable are from contracts with customers. The Company records its allowance for credit losses based on historical write-offs combined with an evaluation of current economic conditions within its service territories. The Company’s contracts do not contain any significant financing components. The Company’s operating revenues are comprised of the following: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; margin-left: auto;
