Water Stocks Investor Alert: Mueller Water Products (NYSE:MWA) Closes up 21% on News

March 9, 2012 - www.investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks issues a news and trading alert for Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA). The stock closed up at $3.45, up 0.60 or 21.0% on volume of 6,242,190 shares, making it a top percentage gainer on the NYSE for Thursday’s session.

The Company reported Thursday it signed a purchase agreement to divest United States Pipe and Foundry Company, LLC and Fast Fabricators, LLC (together "U.S. Pipe") to an affiliate of Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd. a Chicago-based private equity firm with offices in Dallas, Detroit and Toronto, the Company announced today. Partnering with Wynnchurch in the transaction is the Comvest Group, a leading private investment firm focused on providing equity and debt capital to lower middle-market companies.

"The divestiture of U.S. Pipe enables us to focus on our higher-margin businesses and newer technology initiatives," said Gregory E. Hyland, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products. "We believe that with this enhanced focus, the true potential of these initiatives will become more apparent to both our customers and stockholders. The ductile iron pipe business has been volatile, which has negatively impacted our financial performance and, we believe, masked the true value of our overall business. We have a solid platform for growth, and we believe the financial flexibility generated from the sale of U.S. Pipe, coupled with our strategic vision, will increase our ability to more profitably grow our business."

Water Stocks Alert: Cadiz (NASDAQ:CDZI) Trades up on News of Retaining Investment Banking Firm to Lead Water Project Construction Financing

New York, NY - February 28, 2012 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks issues a news alert for water stock, Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ:CDZI). The stock is trading up at 10.69 0.25 (2.39%), with a day's high of $10.96.
Investorideas.com Newswire

Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ:CDZI) announced today that Hannon Armstrong Securities, LLC ("Hannon Armstrong"), an investment bank specializing in the financing of essential infrastructure assets in the United States, including next generation water, energy and telecommunication projects, will lead the Company through the construction financing process for the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery and Storage Project (the "Water Project"). The Water Project would provide a new, reliable water supply to Southern California residents by capturing and conserving groundwater currently being lost to evaporation from the aquifer system beneath the Company's 34,000-acre property in California's Mojave Desert.

For over three decades, Hannon Armstrong has been providing and arranging capital for companies and governmental entities seeking innovative, low-cost capital structures for new infrastructure assets. Hannon Armstrong has particular expertise in structuring and placing long term infrastructure project finance, including projects involving multiple governmental agencies. Last year Hannon Armstrong's $400 million Hudson Ranch 1 geothermal power project located in Imperial County, CA received the Project Finance Deal of the Year award from EuroMoney magazine.

The Water Project facilities include an expanded wellfield on the Company's property and a 43-mile underground water conveyance pipeline that would deliver conserved water to the Colorado River Aqueduct, one of Southern California's primary water distribution facilities. Capital costs for construction of the Water Project facilities are estimated at approximately $225 million and Hannon Armstrong expects that these facilities can be privately financed with lower-cost senior debt supporting a lower cost of water.

"Given the Water Project's sound fundamentals and Cadiz's strong asset position, opportunities exist to develop a comprehensive finance solution that will fund the capital requirements on terms customary for public water purveyors," said Jeffrey Eckel, President and CEO of Hannon Armstrong. "The finance solution will be an attractive investment opportunity for long-term investors, such as insurance companies and pension funds, seeking steady fixed-income returns."

Over the last 3 years, the Company has invested more than $15 million in development activities critical to designing a Project that once permitted will avoid environmental harm. The Company has sufficient cash on hand to continue to fund development activities throughout the entitlement phase. The Project is currently undergoing an environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). A Draft Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Water Project was issued in December 2011 by the Santa Margarita Water District, the Lead Agency for the CEQA review. A public comment period is open until March 14, 2012 and a Final EIR is expected to be issued once all comments have been considered and analyzed.

The Water Project is expected to provide numerous benefits for local communities throughout Southern California, including improvement of local water supply reliability, reduced demand for imported water from Northern California and certain economic improvements. According to a study published by Inland Empire economist Dr. John Husing in May 2011, the Water Project will support over 5,900 jobs, generate more than $878 million in economic activity in the Inland Empire, and infuse millions of dollars in tax revenue to local governments, including $5.4 million per year for San Bernardino County and approximately $613,000 per year for the Needles Unified School District.
