## Exhibit 99.1

EXHIBIT 99.1

**SJW Group 2022 Financial Results and 2023 Guidance Issued**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2022 diluted earnings of $2.43 per share, an increase of 20% over the prior year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $219 million investment in 2022 infrastructure projects

**SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2023** – SJW Group (NYSE: SJW) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended 2022.

"SJW Group's strong results in 2022 will lay the foundation for continued success in 2023 and beyond," stated SJW Group Chair, CEO, and President, Eric W. Thornburg. "We addressed the California water supply mix that drove expense volatility in prior years through a settlement agreement approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that benefits customers and San Jose Water Company (SJWC), completed a $60 million generational investment in a new drinking water treatment facility in Maine, delivered our capital spending plan by overcoming supply chain challenges, made important progress in ESG, and served customers and communities with high-quality water and reliable service."

Operating results in 2022 and the fourth quarter reflect SJWC's general rate case (GRC) settlement agreement that was approved by the CPUC on October 6, 2022. The approved settlement agreement recognized the need for continued investments in SJWC's water system to deliver high-quality and reliable water service. Among the provisions of the approved settlement agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $350 million three-year capital budget;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $54.1 million revenue increase over three years, prior to authorized annual inflation adjustments, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $25.1 million revenue increase in 2022, retroactive to January 1, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased fixed charge portion of water bills to recover 45% of the adopted revenue requirement, up from 40% in the prior GRC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Authorized water supply mix from SJWC's own surface water supplies at 1.8 billion gallons, down from 2.6 billion gallons, which is more consistent with recent production;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A full cost balancing account for water supply and energy costs; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Authorized recovery of $18.2 million in memorandum and balancing accounts.

**Annual Financial Results**

SJW Group reported net income of $73.8 million in 2022, or $2.43 diluted EPS, compared to net income of $60.5 million, or $2.03 diluted EPS, in 2021. Net income increased 22% and diluted EPS increased 20% in 2022 compared to the prior year. In 2022, one-time items reduced diluted EPS by $0.01 per share. In 2021, one-time items increased diluted EPS by $0.24 per share.

Operating revenue was $620.7 million for the year, compared to $573.7 million for 2021. The $47.0 million increase was primarily attributable to $38.7 million in cumulative water rate increases, $16.3 million in the net recognition of balancing and memorandum accounts and regulatory mechanisms, $5.1 million in new customers, and $800,000 in winter storm customer credits provided in the prior year in our Texas service area, partially offset by $14.3 million decrease in customer usage.

The $16.3 million in the net recognition of balancing and memorandum accounts and regulatory mechanisms includes $20.7 million related to the 2022 GRC true-up memorandum account and $800,000 related to the Water Conservation Memorandum Account (WCMA), both in California, partially offset by $6.2 million related primarily to the Water Revenue Adjustment (WRA) mechanism in Connecticut. The $6.2 million WRA activity in Connecticut is related to an adjustment of actual revenues compared to allowed revenues due to increased usage primarily as a result of weather activity.

Operating expenses in 2022 were $489.7 million compared to $462.5 million in 2021.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expenses include water production expenses of $232.8 million in 2022 compared to $229.1 million in 2021, an increase of $3.7 million. The increase in water production expenses was primarily attributable to higher average per unit costs for purchased water, groundwater extraction, energy charges and other production expenses of $28.6 million, partially offset by $15.3 million in lower customer usage, a $7.3 million decrease due to an increase in surface water supply production, and a $2.3 million decrease in cost recovery balancing and memorandum accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depreciation and amortization increased $10.0 million due to higher depreciable utility plant and a true-up related to Cupertino assets to adjust useful lives over the concession term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million higher primarily due to increases in labor and cost recovery balancing and memorandum accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintenance expenses were $4.7 million higher primarily due to contract and materials expense related to the Order Instituting Investigation settlement agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Taxes other than income taxes increased by $1.6 million due to an increase in utility plant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A decrease in the gain on sale of nonutility properties of $1.3 million. In 2022, the company recorded a $6.2 million gain compared to $7.5 million in 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An impairment on a long-lived asset of $2.2 million in the prior year. No impairments were recorded in 2022.

The change in other (expense) income in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to a $3.0 million pre-tax gain on sale from release of a holdback amount by the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority for the sale of Texas Water Alliance Limited recorded in 2021, an increase in other interest due to higher short term borrowing rates, and a decrease in investment income from retirement plan assets and life insurance policies, partially offset by a decrease in pension non-service cost due to an increase on the return of pension assets and an increase in the discount rate.

The effective consolidated income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately 10% and 12%, respectively. The lower effective rate was primarily due to a tax accounting method change in Connecticut related to a non-network assets repairs deduction.

**Fourth Quarter Financial Results**

Increased revenues from SJWC's approved settlement agreement were retroactive to January 1, 2022, accordingly, $20.7 million was recorded in the fourth quarter.

Operating revenue was $171.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $139.7 million for the same period in 2021. The $31.7 million increase in revenue was primarily attributable to $21.0 million in the net recognition of balancing and memorandum accounts and regulatory mechanisms, $14.5 million in cumulative water rate increases, and $1.4 million in new customers, partially offset by $5.2 million decrease in customer usage.

The $21.0 million in the net recognition of balancing and memorandum accounts and regulatory mechanisms includes $20.7 million related to the 2022 GRC true-up memorandum account and $2.1 million related to the WRA mechanism in Connecticut, partially offset by $2.0 million related to the WCMA in California. The $2.1 million WRA activity in Connecticut reflects an update to the timing of consumption resulting in a revenue shift of $3.5 million from the first nine months of 2022 to the fourth quarter, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease related to an adjustment of actual revenues compared to allowed revenues due to increased usage primarily as a result of weather activity.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, were $121.0 million compared to $108.1 million for the same period of 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expenses include water production expenses of $53.1 million in 2022 compared to $52.4 million in 2021, an increase of $700,000. The increase in water production expenses was primarily attributable to higher average per unit costs for purchased water, groundwater extraction, energy charges and other production expenses of $8.2 million, partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in cost recovery balancing

------

and memorandum accounts, $2.0 million in lower customer usage, and a $1.8 million decrease due to an increase in surface water supply production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A decrease in the gain on sale of nonutility properties of $6.8 million. In 2022, the company recorded a $700,000 gain on the sale of nonutility properties compared to $7.5 million in 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintenance expenses were $3.3 million higher primarily due to contract and materials expense related to the Order Instituting Investigation settlement agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depreciation and amortization increased $2.5 million due to higher depreciable utility plant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million higher primarily due to increases in labor offset by cost recovery balancing and memorandum accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An impairment on a long-lived asset of $2.2 million in the prior year. No impairments were recorded in 2022.

The change in other (expense) income for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to an increase in other interest due to higher short term borrowing rates and a decrease in pension non-service cost due to an increase on the return of pension assets and an increase in the discount rate.

The effective consolidated income tax rates for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were approximately 13% and 15%, respectively. The lower effective rate in 2022 was primarily due to higher flow through items in 2022.

**2023 Earnings Guidance**

Guidance for 2023 is based on constructive outcomes in the SJWC Cost of Capital proceeding in California currently in progress, a GRC in Maine's Biddeford-Saco Division scheduled to be filed in the first quarter of 2023, and Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment filed on January 26, 2023 in Connecticut. It further assumes average weather conditions in Maine and Texas, and revenue protection in California and Connecticut with the WCMA that assists in the recovery of revenues impacted due to drought related conservation and WRA that reconciles actual revenues to authorized revenues, respectively.

The following is the company's 2023 full-year guidance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income per diluted common share of $2.40 to $2.50;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-linear long-term diluted EPS growth of 5% to 7%, anchored off of 2022 diluted EPS of $2.43; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Regulated infrastructure investments of approximately $255 million in 2023.

Our guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those factors outlined in the "Forward Looking Statements" of this release and the "Risk Factors" section of the company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Our guidance for 2023 also reflects a significant investment we are making in our workforce. We have highly trained and passionate employees who deliver outstanding service to customers and communities and they are also feeling the effects of inflation," stated Thornburg. "We are increasing wages across the board at an amount that is substantially higher than wage increases in past years to retain our existing people and recruit top talent when there are vacancies."

**Acquisitions**

SJW's Texas subsidiary, SJWTX, Inc., filed applications with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) on January 3, 2023, to acquire KT Water Resources, L.P. and KT Water Development, Ltd. If approved by the PUCT, the utility acquisition will add more than 550 customers and the non-regulated water resources business will provide a 50% increase in total available system-wide water supply for current customer needs and future growth in this rapidly growing area between San Antonio and Austin. The acquisition supports our growth in the service area which includes three of the five fastest growing counties in the United States.

------

**Dividend**

As previously announced, on January 26, 2023, the directors of SJW Group approved an increase in the 2023 annual dividend of $0.08 per share to $1.52 per share. A quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share is payable on March 1, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2023. For 55 consecutive years, SJW Group stockholders have received an increase in their calendar year dividend without interruption or reduction, which places it in an exclusive group of companies on the New York Stock Exchange.

**Capital Expenditures**

SJW Group's capital expenditures for 2022 were $218.8 million. In 2023, SJW Group's planned capital expenditures total $255.1 million. The individual capital budgets for SJW Group's utility operations are as follows: California, $131.6 million, Connecticut, $75.3 million, Maine, $22.7 million, and Texas, $25.5 million. SJW Group plans to invest more than $1.4 billion in capital over the next 5 years, to build and maintain its water and wastewater operations, subject to regulatory approvals, as applicable.

**Rate Activity**

On January 1, 2023, SJWC implemented new rates that will increase annual revenues in 2023 by $18.4 million, as authorized in the company's 2022-2024 GRC.

On December 30, 2022, SJWTX, Inc. filed an application with the PUCT for a system improvement charge (SIC). Since SJWTX, Inc.'s last filed GRC in 2014, the company has invested $43.3 million in drinking water and wastewater infrastructure that is now providing a benefit to customers, but is not yet being recovered on customer water bills. The company is requesting recovery of $14.8 million in system improvements made between January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2022. Additional SIC filings are planned to recover the remaining investment over time. If approved as submitted, the SIC charge for water and wastewater would be less than $5.00 per month, or about 16-cents per day. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2023.

On February 2, 2023, Maine Water Company received final decisions from the Maine Public Utilities Commission on four GRC's filed in 2022. The rate increases are retroactive back to January 1, 2023, and authorize a $692,000 increase in annual revenues.

On January 26, 2023, Connecticut Water Company filed with the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) for a $3.1 million increase in annualized revenues for approximately $27.8 million in projects completed through the Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment. Any PURA authorized increase is expected to be effective on April 1, 2023.

**Environmental and Social Initiatives and Recognition**

In February, SJW Group published an update to its 2021 Corporate Sustainability Report. The supplemental report is available at www.sjwgroup.com/investor-relations/esg. SJW Group expects to publish its 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report later this year.
