Both require the city to issue an annual report on its financial position and activity, and to have the report audited by certified public accountants independent of city government. This report was prepared by the city’s accounting department in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the city, including its blended component units. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the city has established a comprehensive internal control framework designed for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. To the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate, in all material aspects, and is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds and component units of the city. Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C., a firm of licensed certified public accountants, performed the annual independent audit. The goal of the audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the basic financial statements of the city are free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded that the city’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are fairly stated in conformity with GAAP. This is the most favorable conclusion and is commonly known as an unmodified or “clean” opinion. The independent auditor’s report is located on the first page of the Financial Section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements of the city was part of a broader, federally mandated Single Audit designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair representation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the city’s separately issued Single Audit Report and may be obtained from the city’s website. This letter of transmittal provides a non-technical summary of the city’s profile, economic prospects, and achievements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the city’s basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 1 Table of contents CITY OF SCOTTSDALE PROFILE History Scottsdale was founded in 1888 when retired Army Chaplain Major Winfield Scott homesteaded what is now the center of the city. The city incorporated in 1951 and the City Charter, under which it is presently governed, was adopted in 1961. Portions of the city’s charter have been modified several times by vote of the citizens. Current Profile Scottsdale is centrally located in Maricopa County, Arizona, with its boundaries encompassing 184.5 square miles, stretching 31 miles from north to south, and 11.4 miles at its widest point. The city is bordered on the west by Phoenix, the state capital, by Tempe on the south, the Tonto National Forest to the north, and the McDowell Mountains and the Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian Community on the east. Scottsdale and its neighboring cities form the Phoenix Metro area which is the economic, political, and population center of the state. The city has experienced significant increases in population over the years, with the 1950 census reporting 2,021 residents, the 2020 census reporting 241,361 residents, and a current estimate of 246,170 residents. The city is the seventh largest municipality by population in Arizona, and the 93rd largest city in the United States. Government and Organization Scottsdale operates under a council-manager form of government as provided by its Charter. The Mayor and six City Council members are elected at large on a non-partisan ballot and serve overlapping four-year terms. The City Council directly appoints six officers (City Attorney, City Auditor, City Clerk, City Manager, City Treasurer, and Presiding Judge) who have full responsibility for carrying out City Council policies and administering day-to-day operations. The city provides a full range of municipal services including police and fire protection, sanitation service, water and sewer services, construction and maintenance of streets, and recreational activities including libraries and cultural events. Budgetary Controls The annual budget serves as the foundation for Scottsdale’s financial planning and control. The City Council formally adopts the budget and legally allocates, or appropriates, available monies for the city’s various funds. On or before the second regular Council meeting in May, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Three public hearings are held prior to the final budget adoption to obtain taxpayer comments. Each year in June, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. The ordinance sets the maximum legal expenditure limit for the ensuing fiscal year. Additional expenditures may be authorized if directly necessitated by a natural or man-made disaster as prescribed in the Arizona State Constitution, Article 9, Section 20. During fiscal year 2025, there were no such supplemental budgetary appropriations authorized. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 2 Table of contents The expenditure appropriations in the adopted budget are by division and fund level; however, divisional appropriations may be amended during the year. On the recommendation of the City Manager and with the approval of the City Council: 1) transfers may be made from the appropriations for contingencies to divisions; and 2) unexpended appropriations may be transferred from one division to another. For example, if the Public Safety Division is over budget and there are savings in the Community Services Division, City Council can authorize a budget transfer between these divisions. LOCAL ECONOMY Business Scottsdale is one of the state’s leading job centers with a robust economy anchored by biomedical science companies, high-tech innovation, tourism, financial services, and corporate headquarters. Almost 34,000 companies do business in Scottsdale, creating more than 200,000 jobs. The high-tech innovation center SkySong, located a few miles from downtown Scottsdale, is designed to help companies grow through a unique partnership with Arizona State University. Scottsdale’s downtown, Old Town Scottsdale, is an emerging center for high-tech businesses, and home to one of the most successful shopping centers in the southwest United States, Scottsdale Fashion Square. To the north, Scottsdale Airpark is the city’s largest employment area, and the Scottsdale Cure Corridor is a partnership of premier healthcare providers and biomedical companies. Tourism Tourism is one of Scottsdale’s largest and most vibrant industries and is a significant contributor to the city’s economy. With great weather, breathtaking scenery, and a calendar full of special events, Scottsdale is a popular tourist destination in Arizona that welcomes millions of visitors annually. The city boasts many hotels, including several world-class resorts, along with spectacular spas, trend-setting dining, and one-of-akind Sonoran Desert golf courses. Transaction Privilege (Sales) Tax Scottsdale’s largest revenue source is sales tax generated from a variety of business categories including automotive, construction, food stores, hotels, department stores, retail stores, restaurants, utilities, amusement, manufacturing, wholesale, and rentals. Sales tax is generated directly from the city’s own applied tax rate and indirectly as the city receives its share of sales tax generated by the State of Arizona’s applied tax rate. Sales tax is remitted to the city by the state on a weekly basis. Sales tax revenue represented 42.1 percent of General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2025, totaling $196.7 million. The year-over-year slight increase of 2.1 percent in the General Fund sales tax revenue for fiscal year 2025 was in line with the budget forecast and mostly attributed to inflation. Categories with the highest reported tax revenues in fiscal year 2025 were major department stores, amusement, and automotive. The city expects a slight decrease in General Fund sales tax revenues overall in fiscal year 2026, with anticipated slower growth and the continued impact of the residential rental tax elimination that went into effect January 2025. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 3 Table of contents Property Values Scottsdale is a safe, family-friendly community and benefits from a robust assessed valuation of the properties contained within its boundaries. These strong assessed valuations contribute to Scottsdale residents experiencing lower property tax rates and higher median housing values than many of the surrounding municipalities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Scottsdale property owners will see a decrease in the city’s combined property tax rate in the coming year of $0.0067 over the prior year. The decrease is mostly attributed to the secondary tax rate which pays for the city’s expected debt service payments. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING Scottsdale’s five-year financial plan is based on sound financial reserves, low debt burden, and conservative revenue growth forecasts. The city’s General fund anticipates a modest increase in overall revenues for the five-year financial forecast with anticipated revenues representing a normal historical growth trend. The city will continue to focus on efficient spending to maintain essential city services to the community such as police, fire, transportation, and social services. Achieving and maintaining fiscal stability requires many elements all working in concert with each other. The following identifies key elements of our financial plan. Adopted Comprehensive Financial Policies Financial policies establish guidance for Scottsdale’s overall fiscal planning and management. The city has adopted 14 comprehensive financial policies governing revenue management, expenditure management, fiscal planning and budgeting, capital assets maintenance and replacement, cash and investments, debt, grants, risk management, reserves and fund balance, pension funding, tourism development, economic development, enterprise funds, and accounting, auditing, and financial reporting. Regular review and refinement of these policies is completed in conjunction with financial plan development and policies that are adopted annually by the City Council. The City Council has also adopted a Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) Pension Funding Policy as required by state law. This policy outlines how the city will maintain stability of required contributions, how and when the city’s funding requirements will be met and defines the city’s funded ratio target under the PSPRS and when it will be met. Financial Resources Planning Scottsdale’s strategic financial planning begins with a determination of the city’s fiscal capacity based on longterm financial forecasts of available revenues. Conservative financial forecasts, coupled with financial trend analysis techniques and reserve analysis, help preserve the fiscal well-being of Scottsdale. Strategic financial planning is a critical element to maintain long-term financial stability. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 4 Table of contents Multi-Year Operating Budget Planning Multi-year budgeting encompasses long-range operating expenditure plans (including the operating impacts of capital projects), which are linked to community expectations and broad goals of the City Council. Scottsdale builds a five-year financial plan to help anticipate future impacts and ensure achievement of the city’s long-term objectives. Additionally, the city adopts annual budgets for operating funds and five-year Capital Improvement Plans budgets. Strategic Capital Improvement Project Planning Scottsdale Capital Improvement Projects are planned for five or more years and analyzed using city-specific prioritization criteria. The operating cost impacts of projects are also planned and considered in developing future operating budgets. Projects with significant operating impacts are carefully timed to avoid contingent liabilities that future operating resources cannot meet. All capital funding sources are conservatively estimated to avoid over-committing to capital construction using revenues that are not certain. To the extent debt financing is used, capital project plans are sized to conform to existing debt management policies. Debt Management Scottsdale has a financial policy that prohibits the issuance of debt for operating expenses. With that as a governing framework, all debt issuances are for the purpose of financing infrastructure or long-lived assets. Each debt issuance is evaluated against policies addressing debt service as a percent of operating expenditures; tax and revenue bases for the repayment of debt; overall debt burden on the community; and statutory limitations and market factors affecting interest costs. In all cases, a long-term analysis is made considering the debt capacity that fits the financial wherewithal (and willingness) of the community to pay for the capital projects. Sizing of the city’s Capital Improvement Plan based on debt capacity in conjunction with conservatively estimated revenues helps stabilize per capita debt and lower annual debt service costs to the city over the long-term. In recent years the city has issued two types of debt: voter-approved General Obligation bonds and non-voterapproved Municipal Property Corporation bonds (see Section IV.I. of the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information). The city retained credit ratings of “Aaa,” “AAA,” and “AAA” from the three major credit rating agencies (Moody’s Investors Service, S&P Global, and Fitch Ratings, respectively) on the city’s outstanding General Obligation bonds where debt service is supported by property taxes. Scottsdale is one of a select number of cities in the nation to earn this distinction. Ratings for the city’s revenue bonds, where debt service is supported by enterprise revenues or excise taxes, are also highly rated by the three major credit rating agencies. A summary of the city’s bond ratings follows: City of Scottsdale, Arizona 5 Table of contents City of Scottsdale Bonded Debt Ratings As of June 30, 2025 Moody's Investors Service S&P Global Fitch Ratings General Obligation (GO) Aaa AAA AAA Municipal Property Corp (MPC) Aaa AAA AA+ MAJOR INITIATIVES The city’s adopted fiscal year 2026 budget reflects modest increase in revenue projections in the local economy resulting from local sales tax, new ambulance transportation services, building permits fees and charges. These increases are offset by anticipated reductions in the city’s interest earnings as a result of lower cash balances and reductions from the city’s allocation of the state-shared income tax and vehicle license fees, primarily due to the state’s switch to a flat income tax rate model. The General Fund adopted operating budget increased by $89.5 million when compared to the fiscal year 2025, to provide core services and the priorities/policy direction of the City Council which include: • $50.0 million for a one-time PSPRS pension liability paydown • $5.3 million for salary adjustments to align to the market • $4.5 million for Phase II of ambulance transportation operations • $3.3 million for capital project management staff movement to the operating budget • $1.5 million to re-staff a fire truck for Station 608 Additionally, $2.24 billion is included in the adopted capital project budget for the proposed five-year Capital Improvement Plan budget for fiscal year 2026. Many of the projects are part of the 2019 bond package approved by voters, which address critical infrastructure needs. Projects also include City Council and citizen priorities throughout the city. Significant projects include: • $136.2 million Bond 2019 program projects which include expansion of Granite Reef Senior Center, lakes and irrigation improvements at Vista Del Camino Park, and adding a dog park at Thompson Peak Park • $43.0 million for the pavement overlay program • $21.6 million Greenway Hayden Loop sewer improvements • $14.6 million new parking structure in the north-east quadrant of Old Town Scottsdale City of Scottsdale, Arizona 6 Table of contents AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Certificates of Achievement The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the city for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, marking the fifty-second consecutive year the city has achieved this prestigious recognition. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report that satisfies both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is only valid for a period of one year. We believe that our current Annual Comprehensive Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and will be submitted to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. As well, the city received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, from the GFOA for our conformity in budget presentation. We believe that our current budget continues to conform to the program requirements, and we expect to receive this award again for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. Acknowledgments The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the skill, effort, and dedication of the Accounting Department and the many members of other departments who responded so positively to the requests for detailed information that accompanies each annual audit. I also wish to express my sincere appreciation to the City Council and the City Manager for their support in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in planning and conducting the financial affairs of the City of Scottsdale.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Scottsdale, Arizona, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of City of Scottsdale, Arizona, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Change in Accounting Principle As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences, for the year ended June 30, 2025. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 15 Table of contents Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we: • • • • • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, net pension liability information, and other postemployment benefit plan information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 16 Table of contents Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules of Changes in Long-Term Debt are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules of Changes in Long-Term Debt information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C. Scottsdale, Arizona November 17, 2025 City of Scottsdale, Arizona 17 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 This section of the City of Scottsdale, Arizona’s (the city) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report presents a narrative overview and comparative analysis of the financial activities of the city for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the basic financial statements that immediately follow, along with the letter of transmittal and other portions of this Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The city’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of fiscal years 2025 and 2024 by $7.1 billion and $6.8 billion (net position), respectively. Of these amounts, $733.0 million and $614.7 million, respectively, represent unrestricted net position which may be used to meet the city’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The city’s total net position increased in fiscal year 2025 by $315.8 million compared to an increase in net position of $379.1 million during fiscal year 2024. Revenues decreased by $57.7 million from the prior year while expenses increased by $5.6 million from the prior year. • As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the city’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $929.1 million and $731.1 million, respectively. Approximately 29.0 percent of the current year amount ($269.4 million) is available for spending at the city’s discretion (unassigned fund balance). • At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the General Fund was $285.9 million or approximately 74.7 percent of total General Fund expenditures of $382.9 million. • The city’s total long-term liabilities increased by $116.2 million to $1.35 billion during the current fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of General Obligation Bonds and Municipal Property Corporation Bonds reduced by scheduled bond principal payments made. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the city’s basic financial statements, which include three components: (1) Government-wide Financial Statements (2) Fund Financial Statements (3) Notes to the Financial Statements This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements themselves. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 18 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Relationship Between Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and Basic Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information (RSI) General Information on the government structure, Introductory services, and environment Section + Management's Discussion and Analysis Government-wide Financial Statements Basic Financial Statements and RSI Governmental Fund Financial Statements Proprietary Fund Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements Financial Section Required Supplementary Information Information on individual funds and other supplementary information not required by GAAP + Trend data and nonfinancial data Statistical Section Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the city’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. These statements provide information about the city as a whole, presenting both an aggregate current view of the city’s finances and a longer-term view of those assets. Major fund financial statements provide the next level of detail. For governmental funds, these statements reflect how services were financed in the short term as well as what dollars remain for future spending. The major fund financial statements also display the city’s most significant funds. The statement of net position presents financial information on all the city’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the city is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the city’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that are expected to result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation and medical leave. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 19 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the city that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all, or a significant portion, of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the city include general government, public works, community and economic development, public safety, community services, administrative services, and Scottsdale AZ CARES. The business-type activities of the city include water and sewer utilities, solid waste management, and airport operations. The government-wide financial statements include not only the city itself (known as the primary government), but also the operations of the City of Scottsdale Municipal Property Corporation (MPC), and McDowell Mountain Ranch, DC Ranch, Via Linda Road, and Waterfront Commercial Community Facilities Districts. Although legally separate from the city, these component units are blended with the primary government because of their governance or financial relationships to the city. Separate financial statements of the MPC, and the McDowell Mountain Ranch, DC Ranch, Via Linda Road, and Waterfront Commercial Community Facilities Districts may be obtained at the Scottsdale City Treasurer’s Office, 7447 East Indian School Road, Suite 210, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 35-37 of this report. Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The city, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The funds of the city can be divided into two categories, governmental funds and proprietary funds. Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements; however, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, and provide the balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information reflects financial resources available in the near future to finance the city’s programs. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. This comparison highlights the longterm impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 20 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The city maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their purpose (general, special revenue, debt service, capital projects, and permanent). Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, General Obligation Bond Debt Service Fund, General Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Construction Capital Projects Fund, Transportation Capital Projects Fund, and the External Sources Capital Projects Fund which are considered major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of the nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the combining and individual funds statements and schedules section of this report. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 38-46 of this report. Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the city charges customers; either outside customers or internal units/divisions of the city. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The city maintains the following two types of proprietary funds: Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The city uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, solid waste, and aviation services. All enterprise funds are considered major funds of the city. Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for certain city programs and activities. The city uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, personal computer replacement, and health and general liability insurance activities. Because these services predominantly benefit internal units or divisions of the city rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in a separate section of this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 47-53 of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is necessary to acquire a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 54-137 of this report. Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents required supplementary information concerning the city’s proportionate share of the cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plan’s net pension liability, the changes in the city’s net pension liabilities regarding the agent multiple-employer pension plans, schedules of contributions to the pension plans, and changes in the city’s total other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 138-145 of this report. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 21 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Combining Statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds can be found on pages 146-176 of this report. Other Supplementary Information. The supplemental schedule of changes in long-term debt provides a comprehensive overview of the city’s total debt and can be found on pages 177-181 of this report. Statistical Information. The statistical section presents detailed information as a context for understanding what the information in the financial statements, note disclosures, and required supplementary information indicates about the city’s overall financial health. This section can be found on pages 183-212 of this report. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS While this document contains information about the funds used by the city to provide services to its citizens, the statement of net position and the statement of activities serve to provide an answer to the question of how the city, as a whole, performed financially throughout the year. These statements include all assets/ deferred outflows of resources and liabilities/deferred inflows of resources using the accrual basis of accounting similar to the private sector. The basis for this accounting considers all the current year’s revenues and expenses regardless of when the cash is received or paid. These two statements report the city’s net position and change in net position. The change in net position reflects whether the financial position of the city, as a whole, has improved or diminished; however, in evaluating the overall financial position of the city, non-financial information such as changes in the city’s tax base and the condition of the city’s capital assets should also be considered. Analysis of Net Position. As noted earlier, net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. For the city, total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $7.07 billion, and $6.75 billion at the close of the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 22 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The following table is a condensed summary of the city’s net position for governmental and business-type activities: Net Position June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands) ASSETS AND DEFERRED OUTFLOWS OF RESOURCES Current and other assets Capital assets Total assets Total deferred outflows of resources Total assets and deferred outflows of resources LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES Long-term liabilities outstanding Other liabilities Total liabilities Total deferred inflows of resources Total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources NET POSITION Net investment in capital assets Restricted Unrestricted Total net position Governmental Activities 2025 2024 $ 1,275,681 $ 1,124,860 5,109,302 5,039,614 6,384,983 6,164,474 114,625 126,051 6,499,608 6,290,525 950,626 143,459 1,094,085 59,556 1,153,641 Business-type Activities 2025 2024 $ 936,391 182,342 1,118,733 49,399 1,168,132 4,602,117 4,468,449 412,106 350,415 331,744 303,529 $ 5,345,967 $ 5,122,393 597,694 $ 1,633,394 2,231,088 15,301 2,246,389 468,285 1,562,353 2,030,638 14,906 2,045,544 403,367 45,881 449,248 72,429 521,677 301,369 60,118 361,487 51,546 413,033 1,317,956 1,316,476 5,500 4,907 401,256 311,128 $ 1,724,712 $ 1,632,511 Total 2025 2024 $ 1,873,375 $ 1,593,145 6,742,696 6,601,967 8,616,071 8,195,112 129,926 140,957 8,745,997 8,336,069 1,353,993 189,340 1,543,333 131,985 1,675,318 1,237,760 242,460 1,480,220 100,945 1,581,165 5,920,073 5,784,925 417,606 355,322 733,000 614,657 $ 7,070,679 $ 6,754,904 The largest portion, 83.7 percent, of the city’s net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, water and sewer system, and streets and storm drains) less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. These amounted to $5.92 billion and $5.78 billion as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Although the city’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources because the city uses these assets to provide services to citizens and therefore cannot liquidate them. An additional portion, 5.9 percent, of the city’s net position, $417.6 million at June 30, 2025, and 5.3 percent or $355.3 million at June 30, 2024, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. Unrestricted net position, 10.4 percent of the city’s total net position at June 30, 2025, and 9.1 percent at June 30, 2024, $733.0 million and $614.7 million, respectively, may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. Analysis of Changes in Net Position. Total revenues exceeded total expenses in the current year, resulting in an increase in the city’s total net position of $315.8 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to an increase in net position of $379.1 million during fiscal year 2024. The reasons for this overall increase are explained in the governmental and business-type activities discussion herein and depicted in the table that follows.

Net position for governmental activities increased $223.6 million after transfers during fiscal year 2025 compared to an increase of $306.5 million after transfers in fiscal year 2024. Total revenues decreased $70.6 million or 8.3 percent from the prior fiscal year and expenses increased $13.2 million or 2.4 percent. Overall, revenues exceeded expenses resulting in an increase in net position. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 24 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The city experienced a decrease in total revenues from governmental activities over the prior year due primarily from decreases in capital grants and contributions of $68.0 million and decreases in intergovernmental taxes of $11.6 million. The capital grants and contribution had significant decreases from developer contributions from the completion of construction projects in fiscal year 2025, with 2.45 less miles of streets being contributed than the prior fiscal year. The decrease in intergovernmental taxes was caused by the city receiving less state shared revenues than the prior year due primarily from the State of Arizona’s revised flat income tax model which generated less tax income. General revenues such as property, franchise, and privilege taxes are not shown by program, but are used to support program activities citywide. Total general revenues for governmental activities were $613.5 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to $611.1 million in fiscal year 2024. Intergovernmental taxes decreased by $11.6 million or 11.5 percent from the previous year due to the reasons previously stated above. The decrease in intergovernmental taxes was primarily offset by an increase in interest and investment income of $10.7 million or 26.6 percent increase from the increase in market values of the investment portfolio. For governmental activities overall, without regard to program, business taxes was the largest single source of funds, followed by intergovernmental; property taxes; charges for services; interest and investment income; capital grants and contributions; and operating grants and contributions. The other revenue category was the least significant source of revenue. . Governmental Activities Revenues by Source Fiscal Year 2024/25 (in thousands) Interest and Investment Income $51,042 7% Charges for Services $70,132 9% Operating Grants and Contributions $49,232 6% Intergovernmental $112,293 14% Capital Grants and Contributions $48,752 6% Other Revenue $15,926 2% Business Taxes $360,154 46% City of Scottsdale, Arizona 25 Property Taxes $74,129 10% Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Another component of the change in net position is expenses. The Public Safety Division, which is comprised of the Police and Fire Departments, has the largest expense function (38.9 percent), followed by the Public Works Division (20.9 percent), and the Community Services Division (16.8 percent). The Public Safety Division provides police and fire/emergency services throughout the city. Expenses increased by $15.3 million, or 7.4 percent, during fiscal year 2025 due primarily from increases in personnel related costs from two percent market adjustment and for the pay for performance plan of up to five percent. The city also hired new personnel for the municipal ambulance service program. The Public Works Division consists of five departments: Capital Project Management, Facilities Management, Fleet Management, Solid Waste Management, and Transportation and Streets. Expenses were $3.4 million, or 3.0 percent higher primarily from increased personnel cost from the two percent market adjustment and for the pay for performance plan of up to three percent. The city’s Community Services Division is responsible for improving and maintaining facilities, and sponsors services that provide opportunities for family interaction, cultural enrichment, development of lifetime skills, and promoting healthy lifestyles. The division consists of: Human Services, Libraries, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Business Operations, Preserve, and WestWorld. Expenses were $7.9 million, or 9.0 percent higher than the prior fiscal year due primarily from increases in personnel-related expenditures from a two percent market adjustment and for the pay for performance plan of up to three percent. Business-type Activities. Net position for business-type activities increased by $92.2 million after transfers during fiscal year 2025 compared to $72.5 million after transfers in fiscal year 2024. Total revenues increased by $12.9 million, or 4.3 percent, due largely from the charges for services category. The charges for services revenue category increased over the prior year due primarily from customer water usage. The city supplied 4.5 percent more water than the prior year on average. Overall, total revenues exceeded expenses resulting in an increase in net position for the fiscal year. As shown in the Business-type Activities Revenues by Source chart, charges for services provided the largest share of revenues, followed by capital grants and contributions. The interest and investment income and business taxes were the least significant sources of revenue.

The water and sewer utility’s combined expenses decreased by 5.2 percent or $9.7 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. The decrease in expenditure was primarily from the sewer utilities activities in reduced joint venture costs when compared to the prior fiscal year. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 27 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The Aviation Department operates the city’s general aviation reliever facility and is home to many local corporate aircraft. More than 164,443 take-offs and landings occurred in fiscal year 2025 at Scottsdale Airport, a decrease of 4.1 percent from the prior year. Total program expenses increased by 13.7 percent or $1.3 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 due primarily to increases in personnel related costs from the city’s pay for performance plan for up to three percent and market adjustment of two percent. The Solid Waste Department provided delivery of safe, efficient, and environmentally sound refuse collection services to 85,186 residential customers in fiscal year 2025. Total program expenses increased 2.3 percent or $0.7 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 due primarily from increases in personnel costs from the city’s pay for performance plan for up to three percent and market adjustment of two percent. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS As noted earlier, the city uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Funds are created and segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Activity not required to be reported in a separate fund is included in the General Fund. Governmental funds are used to account for taxsupported activities. Governmental Funds. The focus of the city’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable and non-spendable resources. Such information may be useful in assessing the city’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary use, as it represents the portion of fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the City Council, or the City Treasurer who has been delegated authority to assign resources for a particular purpose by the City Council. Types of governmental funds reported by the city include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Permanent Funds. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the city’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $929.1 million, an increase of $198.0 million from the prior year total of $731.1 million. Approximately 29.0 percent, or $269.4 million, of the current year amount constitutes unassigned fund balance. The remainder of fund balance is either nonspendable, restricted, or committed to indicate that it is not available for new spending. Revenues for governmental functions totaled $781.4 million in fiscal year 2025, an increase of 5.5 percent, or $40.7 million, from the previous year total of $740.7 million. In fiscal year 2025, expenditures for governmental functions totaled $704.5 million, a decrease of 4.1 percent, or $30.2 million, from the fiscal year 2024 total of $734.7 million. For the current fiscal year, revenues exceeded expenditures for governmental functions by $76.9 million. The increase in revenues was largely attributed to a $20.8 million or 66.7 percent increase in miscellaneous grants primarily from the State Arterial Life Cycle Program for roadways, $7.4 million or 49.6 percent increase in the fair value of investments, a $6.0 million or 2.0 percent increase in transaction privilege tax, a $4.9 million or 12.0 percent increase in charges for services, a $4.3 million or 28.4 percent increase in federal grants, and a $3.3 million or 13.1 percent increase in interest earnings, offset by a $10.6 million or 8.0 percent decrease in intergovernmental tax revenues (state shared sales tax, state revenue sharing, auto lieu and highway user fuel tax revenues). City of Scottsdale, Arizona 28 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the city. At the end of fiscal year 2025, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $285.9 million, while the total fund balance was $304.3 million; the unassigned and total fund balances for the General Fund at the end of fiscal year 2024 were $246.4 million and $247.0 million, respectively. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 74.7 percent of the total General Fund expenditures of $382.9 million in fiscal year 2025 and represented 65.5 percent of the total General Fund expenditures of $376.4 million in fiscal year 2024. Total fund balance represented 79.5 percent and 65.6 percent of total fund expenditures for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Overall, the General Fund’s performance resulted in revenue and other financing sources exceeding expenditures and other financing uses in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, by $57.3 million. Total revenues increased $11.0 million, or 2.4 percent compared to the prior year while expenditures increased $6.5 million or 1.7 percent. Significant reasons for the increase in revenues were the increases in transaction privilege tax revenue, charges for services, interest earnings, and the change in fair market value of investments, offset by a decrease in state shared revenues. Significant reasons for increases in expenditures were attributed to personnel-related costs, offset by a decrease in capital-related expenditures. Key changes in General Fund revenues over the prior year included $7.6 million for the increase in the fair market value of investments, $5.3 million increase in charges for services, $4.0 million increase in transaction privilege tax, and $2.3 million for interest earnings, offset by a decrease in state revenue sharing revenues of $12.4 million. The increase in the fair value of investments is due to market fluctuations and interest earnings have increased due to higher interest rates on city investments and from higher invested balances. Charges for services increased due to building permit activity, Westworld fees, and fire service fees. Transaction privilege tax increased due to a combination of inflation, tourism, and increased consumer activity. State revenue sharing decreased due to the enactment of the state income flat tax rate, resulting in lower state income tax receipts. The Public Safety Division experienced the largest increase in General Fund expenditures, 4.3 percent, or $8.7 million, primarily due from increases in personnel expenditures resulting from the two percent market adjustment the city provided effective this fiscal year, and up to five percent pay for performance program, and the associated retirement costs. Community Services increased 11.1 percent, or $5.3 million and Administrative Services department increased 10.5 percent or $2.4 million due to increases in personnel-related cost from the pay for performance program. The General Obligation Bond Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general obligation debt principal, interest, and related costs. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the General Obligation Bond Debt Service Fund was $7.5 million, an increase of $7.4 million from the $0.1 million balance from the prior year. The increase in fund balance was due to a decrease in debt services payments compared to the prior year of $7.1 million and recognition of an expenditure in the prior fiscal year of a $5.1 million that did not occur in the current fiscal year related to the Maricopa County Qasimyar Settlement. The General Obligation Bond Debt Service is serviced partially through secondary property taxes and through transfers from various funds. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 29 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The General CIP Construction Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the resources used to acquire, construct, and improve major capital facilities from amounts transferred from the city’s General Fund. This fund also represents other City Council approved capital programs including transfers for tourism-related capital projects, in-lieu parking, and in-lieu stormwater. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the General CIP Construction Capital Projects fund was $152.2 million, a decrease of $25.8 million from the $178.0 million from the prior fiscal year, primarily from the use of funds for various capital projects offset by cash transfers in of $44.1 million. The transfers to this fund are primarily from the General Fund resulting from construction sales tax and interest income as required by the city’s comprehensive financial policies. The Transportation Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the portion of the transportation privilege (sales) tax dedicated to transportation capital improvements. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance was $133.3 million, an increase of $19.7 million from the $113.6 million balance from the prior year. The increase in fund balance was primarily due to increased cash transfers in from the transportation tax in accordance with the city’s comprehensive financial policies. The External Sources Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received from a variety of external sources including federal and state grants, as well as contributions restricted or committed for capital projects. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance was a deficit of $11.0 million, an increase of $21.4 million from the deficit balance of $32.4 million from the prior year. The increase in fund balance was due to timing differences for grant and intergovernmental reimbursements that were received in the current fiscal year for costs incurred in the prior year. Proprietary Funds. The city’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. At the end of the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the unrestricted net position for the Water and Sewer Utility Fund was $360.0 million and $291.0 million, respectively; the Airport Fund was $20.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively; and the Solid Waste Fund was $12.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The Internal Service Funds, which are used to account for certain governmental activities, had an unrestricted net position of $53.8 million and $52.0 million, respectively. The total growth in net position for the enterprise funds was $91.2 million and $70.4 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Factors concerning the finances of these funds have been addressed previously in the discussion of the city’s business-type activities. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS The city adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget and can be found on page 44 of this report. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 30 Table of contents Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 General Fund revenues on a budgetary basis were $14.9 million more than projected for fiscal year 2025. The variance in revenues was primarily due to the city receiving more in transaction privilege tax, interest earnings, and light and power franchise fees than budgeted, offset by less property tax revenues than budgeted. The privilege tax was the most significant increase, consisting of $13.7 million more revenues received than projected as the city continued to see increases in consumer spending. Property taxes were less than budget largely due to the $4.9 million in Maricopa County Qasimyar Settlement property tax adjustment not included in budgetary basis revenues. Expenditures of $378.1 million were $7.1 million less than budgeted expenditures of $385.2 million. All divisional expenditures came in lower than budget mostly attributed to vacancy savings.

(912,090) Deferred inflows relating to pensions, other postemployment benefits, and public-private partnerships represent a future acquisition of net position that is not reported in the funds. Also, because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some assets will not be available to pay for current period expenditures. Those assets are offset by unavailable revenue in the funds. 33,550 Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance, computer equipment, and vehicles to individual funds.

B. for the detailed reconciliation): Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures; however, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation in the current period. 54,699 Donations of capital assets are not capitalized on the governmental fund statements, but are shown in the statement of activities. 22,407 Amortization of deferred inflows of resources related to capital assets acquired by the city as a result of public-private partnerships are not shown in the governmental fund statements. On the statement of activities it is recorded as revenue. 87 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (50,232) Current-year pension and other postemployment benefit contributions are reclassified from expenditures in the governmental funds to deferred outflows of resources in the governmentwide statements. 44,522 Current-year joint venture contributions are are reclassified from expenditures in the governmental funds to an increase in the investment in the joint venture in the governmentwide statements. 177 When leases (in which the city is the lessee), public-public partnerships (PPPs) (in which the city is the operator), and subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) are to be used in governmental activities, an expenditure is recorded in the governmental funds in the amount of the Present Value of the Future Lease Payments (PVFLP)/Present Value of the Future Installment Payments (PVFIP)/Present Value of the Future Subscription Payments (PVFSP), respectively; however, in the statement of activities, the PVFLP, PVFIP, and PVFSP are recognized as intangible assets and amortized over the lease/PPP/subscription term. 17 The State Treasurer distributes funding directly to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System that is used to offset the contribution required to be made by the city. The fund financial statements recognize the current year contribution; however, the government-wide statements recognize the prior year contribution. (1,134) Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. (23,173) The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds; however, neither transaction has any effect on net position. This is the amount by which principal retirement exceeded debt proceeds in the current period.

The city has operational responsibility for the component units: City of Scottsdale, Arizona 54 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Component Unit City of Scottsdale Municipal Property Corporation (MPC) McDowell Mountain Ranch Community Facilities District (CFD) Description and Criteria for Inclusion            DC Ranch Community Facilities District (CFD)        Via Linda Road Community Facilities District (CFD)        Waterfront Commercial Community Facilities District (CFD)        Non-profit corporation created in 1967 Sole purpose is to construct, acquire, and equip buildings, structures, or land improvements for the city Governed by Board of Directors approved by City Council For financial reporting purposes, transactions are included as a governmental and proprietary fund type as if part of the city’s operation Formed in 1994 by petition to City Council Created to acquire and improve public infrastructure in specified land area Able to levy taxes and issue bonds independent of the city Property owners within the designated area are assessed for District taxes and costs of operation City Council serves as the Board of Directors The city has no liability for District debt For financial reporting purposes, transactions are included as a governmental fund type as if part of the city’s operation Formed in 1997 by petition to City Council Created to acquire and improve public infrastructure in specified land area Able to levy taxes and issue bonds independent of the city Property owners within the designated area are assessed for District taxes and costs of operation City Council serves as the Board of Directors The city has no liability for District debt For financial reporting purposes, transactions are included as a governmental fund type as if part of the city’s operation Formed in 1998 by petition to City Council Created to acquire and improve public infrastructure in specified land area Able to levy taxes and issue bonds independent of the city Property owners within the designated area are assessed for District taxes and costs of operation City Council serves as the Board of Directors The city has no liability for District debt For financial reporting purposes, transactions are included as a governmental fund type as if part of the city’s operation Formed in 2005 by petition to City Council Created to acquire and improve public infrastructure in specified land area Able to levy taxes and issue bonds independent of the city Property owners within the designated area are assessed for District taxes and costs of operation City Council serves as the Board of Directors The city has no liability for District debt For financial reporting purposes, transactions are included as a governmental fund type as if part of the city’s operation City of Scottsdale, Arizona 55 Reporting Method For Separate Financial Statements Blended City of Scottsdale City Treasurer’s Office 7447 E.

Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Indirect costs incurred by governmental activities and reimbursed by business-type activities are included in the program expense reported by the individual business-type functions. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. The city considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 31 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting; however, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to vacation, sick leave, claims, and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under leases, subscription-based information technology arrangements, public-public partnerships, and contracts payables are reported as other financing sources. Because different measurement focuses and bases of accounting are used in the government-wide statement of net position and in governmental fund balance sheets, amounts reported as restricted fund balances in governmental funds may be different from amounts reported as restricted net position in the statement of net position. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 56 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Property taxes, other local taxes, and licenses available within the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues in the current fiscal period. Interest is accrued in the same fiscal period in which the revenue is earned. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the city receives cash. The government reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund and is used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund. The General Obligation Bond Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report the accumulation of financial resources that are restricted to expenditures for the payment of long-term general obligation debt principal, interest, and related costs. The General CIP Construction Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are committed or restricted to expenditures for capital outlays including the acquisition, construction, and improvements to major capital facilities or capital equipment from amounts transferred from the city’s General Fund in accordance with the city’s comprehensive financial policies adopted by the City Council annually. This fund also represents other City Council approved capital programs including committing funds for tourism-related capital projects as well as activity for the capital in-lieu parking and in-lieu stormwater. The Transportation Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the portion of Transportation Privilege (Sales) Tax dedicated to transportation capital improvements. Resources are provided by the 0.2 percent 1989 voter-approved privilege tax and 0.1 percent 2018 voter-approved privilege tax dedicated to the Arterial Life Cycle Program. The Arizona Highway User Revenue tax also contributes to this fund. The External Sources Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the activity related to monies received from a variety of external sources including federal and state grants and contributions. The revenues are restricted or committed for specific types of capital improvements. The government reports the following major proprietary funds: The Water and Sewer Utility, Airport, and Solid Waste Funds account for the operating revenues and expenses of the city’s water and sewer utility systems, airport, and sanitation services (solid waste, brush removal, container maintenance, etc.), respectively. Additionally, the government reports the following fund types: The Internal Service Funds account for fleet management, self-insurance services, and computer replacements provided to other departments or units of the city on a cost-reimbursement basis. The Permanent Funds account for resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, not principal, support the city’s programs. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 57 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 In general, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are indirect costs, in-lieu franchise fees, and other charges between the city’s governmental activities and the Water and Sewer Utility Fund, Airport Fund, and Solid Waste Fund, because elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in the statement of activities. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the funds’ principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the city’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges for customer services including water, sewer, airport, solid waste, vehicle purchase/maintenance, computer replacement, and self-insurance charges. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for specified expenditures, restricted resources are considered spent before unrestricted resources. Within unrestricted resources, committed would be considered spent first (if available), followed by assigned (if available), and then unassigned amounts. D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance 1. Deposits and Investments The city considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) in money market mutual funds, demand deposits, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and U.S. Treasury bills with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, all pooled cash and investments are considered cash equivalents. Maturities in excess of three months when purchased may be deposited or withdrawn by the proprietary funds at any time without prior notice or penalty, therefore having the characteristics of demand deposits. GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools provides that governmental entities may report all investments at fair value, or they may elect to report certain money market investments and participating interest-earning investment contracts at amortized cost. The city has elected to report all investments at fair value. The city’s policy permits it to invest in certificates of deposit; repurchase agreements; highly rated commercial paper issued by corporations organized and doing business in the United States; money market mutual funds; highly rated corporate bonds/notes/asset-backed securities denominated in U.S. dollars; obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States government, or any of the senior debt of its agencies, sponsored agencies, corporations, sponsored corporations or instrumentalities; bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness of this state or any of its counties, incorporated cities or towns, school districts, or special taxing districts; and the pooled investment funds established by the Office of the Arizona State Treasurer. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 58 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 2. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is classified as “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or advances to other funds for long-term interfund loans. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” All accounts receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The city’s property tax is levied each year on or before the third Monday in August based on the previous January 1 full cash value as determined by the Maricopa County Assessor. Levies are due and payable in two installments, on October 1 and March 1, and become delinquent after November 1 and after May 1, respectively. A lien attaches to the property on the first day of January preceding the assessment and levy of taxes. Delinquent amounts bear interest at the rate of 16 percent. Public auctions of properties which have delinquent real estate taxes are held in February. Maricopa County, at no charge to the taxing entities, bills and collects all property taxes. Property taxes levied for current operation and maintenance expenses on residential property are limited to one percent of the limited property value of such property. In addition, taxes levied for current operation and maintenance expenses on all types of property are limited to a maximum increase of two percent over the prior-year’s levy, adjusted for new construction and annexations. Property taxes levied to pay principal and interest on bonded indebtedness are not limited. 3. Inventories, Prepayments, and Prepaid Items Inventories of the governmental funds are recorded under the consumption method. Inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventories are valued at year end based on cost, with cost determined using an average cost method. Prepayments of the governmental funds, which are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting, are recorded under the purchase method, and are therefore recorded as expenditures when purchased. Within the government-wide statements, which are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, prepayments are recorded as assets and amortized over the life of the related agreement. Prepaid items contain payments made to vendors applicable to future accounting periods in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The cost of a prepaid item is recorded as an expense when consumed rather than purchased. 4. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of the city’s bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position because they are maintained in separate bank accounts or their use is restricted by outside parties. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 59 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The joint venture construction deposits with the City of Phoenix are used for capital expansion, rehabilitation, and expansion of the jointly used facilities. Assets are also restricted in enterprise funds for deposits received from water, sewer, and airport customers, as well as unearned revenues related to cash received in advance of services provided. 5. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. The government defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000, except for private-public and public-public partnerships, leases, and subscription-based technology arrangements must be $50,000 or greater; and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. All land and land rights regardless of value are capitalized. The city may capitalize items under the individual threshold if in the aggregate the items exceed the threshold. Assets contributed (donated) are recorded by reference to historical costs of the donor if recently purchased or constructed, or if such records are not available, at acquisition value. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The city has elected to exclude the values of the art collections held in perpetuity from capitalization as the worth of the collections may change over time and because these collections are maintained in perpetuity to be used for purposes other than financial gain. Depreciation and amortization of all assets are recorded and calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Water System............................................................................................10 to 75 Years Sewer System............................................................................................25 to 50 Years Buildings and Improvements.................................................................25 to 50 Years Streets and Storm Drains.................................................................................30 Years Land Improvements..........................................................................................25 Years Machinery and Equipment......................................................................5 to 20 Years Motor Vehicles...........................................................................................3 to 15 Years Furniture, Fixtures, and Office Equipment..........................................5 to 10 Years Lease, public-public partnership, and subscription-based information technology arrangements assets are amortized over the life of the associated contract. The excess purchase price over fair value of assets acquired in the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund is amortized on the straight-line method over 20 to 60 years. When capital assets are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 60 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 6. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the pension plans’ fiduciary net position, and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position, have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. 7. Compensated Absences Compensated absences consist of vacation leave and a calculated amount of medical leave earned by employees based on services already rendered. Employees may accumulate up to a maximum number of hours of vacation depending on years of service, but any vacation hours in excess of the maximum amount unused at the calendar year end are forfeited. The city’s policy is to pay employees for unused accumulated vacation hours at termination or retirement. The city’s medical leave policy, however, is that only those employees hired full-time before July 1, 1982, receive cash for a portion of unused medical leave at death or retirement. For employees hired after July 1, 1982, the city funds the value of medical leave balances converted to a retiree health savings account for the participant immediately upon retirement. To be eligible for the medical leave conversion, the employee must retire and have accumulated 300 or more hours of medical leave (420 or more hours for shift fire employees) and will be funded at 100 percent for any medical leave hours accrued prior to July 1, 2011. If an employee has not accrued 1,200 hours before July 1, 2011, the employee will be funded the unused medical leave accrued after July 1, 2011, at 50 percent of the employee’s hourly base rate at the time of retirement, up to and including 1,200 hours accrued both before and after July 1, 2011. Shift fire employees will have the same rules apply, except their cap is 1,680 medical leave hours. Vacation pay is calculated based on vacation used, and the medical leave conversion is based on an actuarial valuation dated January 1, 2025. The medical leave conversion and vacation pay amounts are accrued in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for the current amount of compensated absences is recorded as a current liability as of June 30, 2025, in the governmental and proprietary funds. The current liability represents compensated absences that have matured but were not paid as of June 30, 2025, which resulted from employee resignations and retirements. The current compensated absences amount in the governmental funds is combined with accrued payroll and other payroll-related amounts in the accrued payroll and benefits line item. No long-term liability for compensated absences is recorded in the governmental funds. 8. Long-term Obligations Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities or business-type activities section, as appropriate, in the statement of net position of the governmentwide financial statements, or in the proprietary fund statement of net position in the proprietary fund financial statements. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount and bond issuance costs are expensed when incurred. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 61 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 9. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the government-wide financial statements and the proprietary fund financial statements include a section for deferred outflows of resources. This represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The city has three items that qualify for this category: deferred amounts on refundings, pension-related amounts, and other postemployment benefits (OPEB)-related amounts. Deferred amounts on refundings result from the difference between the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The pension and OPEB-related amounts include differences between expected and actual experience, changes of assumptions or other inputs, and contributions made to the pension/OPEB plan by the employer subsequent to the measurement date of the net pension liability/total OPEB liability and before the end of the reporting period. Additionally, the pension-related amounts include the difference between projected and actual investment earnings and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions. With the exception of the difference between projected and actual investment earnings and contributions made to the pension/OPEB plan by the employer subsequent to the measurement date of the net pension liability/total OPEB liability and before the end of the reporting period, the pension-and OPEB-related deferred outflows of resources should be recognized in pension/OPEB expense, respectively, beginning in the current reporting period, using a systematic and rational method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions/OPEB through the pension/OPEB plans (active employees and inactive employees) determined as of the beginning of the measurement period. The deferred outflows of resources relating to the difference between projected and actual investment earnings should be recognized in pension expense using a systematic and rational method over a closed five-year period, beginning in the current reporting period. The deferred outflows of resources relating to contributions made to the pension/OPEB plan by the employer subsequent to the measurement date of the net pension liability/total OPEB liability and before the end of the reporting period will reduce the beginning net pension liability/total OPEB liability in the following fiscal year. In addition to liabilities, the government-wide and fund financial statements include a section for deferred inflows of resources. This represents an acquisition of fund balance or net assets that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The city has the following items that qualify for this category: unavailable revenue, pension-related amounts, OPEB-related amounts, lease-related amounts, and public-private partnership amounts. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 62 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Unavailable revenue, which arises only under the modified accrual basis of accounting, is recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the related amounts become available. The pension-and OPEB-related amounts include differences between expected and actual experience and changes of assumptions or other inputs. Additionally, the pension-related amounts include the difference between projected and actual investment earnings and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions. With the exception of the difference between projected and actual investment earnings, the pension-and OPEB-related deferred inflows of resources should be recognized in pension/OPEB expense, respectively, beginning in the current reporting period, using a systematic and rational method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions/ OPEB through the pension/OPEB plans (active employees and inactive employees) determined as of the beginning of the measurement period. The deferred inflows of resources relating to the difference between projected and actual investment earnings should be recognized in pension expense using a systematic and rational method over a closed five-year period, beginning in the current reporting period. Lease-related amounts are recognized at the inception of leases in which the city is the lessor. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded in an amount equal to the corresponding lease receivable plus certain additional amounts received from the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term. The inflow of resources is recognized in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease. Public-private partnership (PPP) amounts are recognized at the inception of PPPs in which the city is the transferor and upon the contribution of improvements to the underlying PPP asset made by the operator in the PPP to the city. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded in an amount equal to the corresponding PPP receivable plus the value of the contributed improvements at the time of the contribution. The inflow of resources is recognized in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the PPP. 10. Development Impact Fee Revenue The city has entered into several agreements whereby it will provide a development fee credit to developers for construction of certain public infrastructure improvements. The funding source for the reimbursements will come from water and sewer development fees, which are paid when units of the development are connected to the utility system. The city does not become liable under the agreements until the city has accepted the cost, a development fee has been paid, and a water meter has been set. 11. Fund Balance Policies In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report the fund balance into classifications that comprise a hierarchy based on the extent to which the city is bound to honor constraints on the specific purpose for which those funds can be spent. The classifications of fund balance are Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 63 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Nonspendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in a spendable form, such as inventory or prepaid items, or because resources legally or contractually must remain intact. Restricted fund balances are the portion of a fund balance that have externally enforceable limitations on their usage through legislation or limitations imposed by creditors, grantors, laws and regulations of other governments, or enabling legislation. Committed fund balances are self-imposed limitations by the highest level of decision-making authority, namely City Council, prior to the end of the reporting period. City Council approval is required to commit resources or to rescind the commitment through a City Council resolution. Assigned fund balances are limitations imposed internally by management based on the intended use of the funds. In June 2011, through City Council Resolution No. 8751, the City Council authorized the City Treasurer to assign fund balances for specific purposes. Unassigned fund balances represent the residual net resources in excess of the other classifications. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance, whereas any governmental fund can report a negative unassigned fund balance. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for specified expenditures, restricted resources are considered spent before unrestricted resources. Within unrestricted resources, committed would be considered spent first (if available), followed by assigned (if available), and then unassigned amounts. 12. Net Position The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. Net Investment in Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure and capital-related deferred outflows of resources, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation/amortization, the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of these assets, and the capital-related deferred inflows of resources reduce the balance in this category. Restricted Net Position – This category represents net position that has external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted Net Position – This category represents net position of the city not restricted for a specific purpose. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 64 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 13. Use of Estimates The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, revenue and expenses/expenditures, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the basic financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. E. Implementation of New Accounting Principles 1. Governmental Accounting Standards No. 101, Compensated Absences The city adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No 101, Compensated Absences, that was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The objective of the statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. The statement requires that liabilities be recognized for leave that has not been used, is attributable to services already rendered, accumulates and the leave is more likely than not to be paid in cash or settled through non-cash means. 2. Governmental Accounting Standards No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures The city adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No 102, Certain Risk Disclosures, that was effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2024. The objective of this statement is to provide users of a government’s financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. The disclosures will provide users with better information to understand and anticipate certain risks to a government’s financial condition.

Explanation of certain differences between the governmental funds balance sheet and the government-wide statement of net position The city’s total governmental fund balances, $929,149,000 differ from the net position of governmental activities, $5,345,967,000 reported in the statement of net position.

STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. Budget and Budgetary Accounting The city prepared an annual budget that covered fiscal year 2025. The fiscal year 2025 budget appropriation is established and reflected in the financial statements as follows: The city prepares its budget on a basis generally consistent with GAAP, with such exceptions as eliminating the adjustments for fair value of investments, payroll accruals, in-kind revenue and expenditure recognition activity, interest associated with leases, amortized lease revenue, accrued compensated absences, and GAAP entries associated with the financing or termination of leases, subscription-based information technology arrangements, public-private partnerships, long-term contracts payable, and timing differences for interfund loan arrangements. A budgetary comparison statement for the General Fund is presented in the basic financial statements. This statement displays original budget, amended budget, and actual results. Budgetary comparison schedules are also included as supplementary schedules for certain other governmental funds. The City Council formally adopts the budget and legally allocates, or appropriates, available monies for the General Fund, certain special revenue funds (Transportation, Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Grants, Housing Choice Voucher Program, Preserve Privilege Tax, Streetlight Districts, Special Programs, Tourism Development, and Stadium Facility) and debt service funds (except for the Community Facilities Districts and the Debt Service Stabilization Funds); therefore, these funds have appropriated budgets, and budget to actual information is presented. Community facilities districts funds, capital projects funds, enterprise funds, internal service funds, and permanent funds have non-appropriated budgets. Accordingly, no comparison of budget to actual is presented in the financial statements for these funds. Budgets for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Grants, and Housing Choice Voucher Program Funds are established pursuant to the terms of the related grant awards. Budgets for the community facilities districts are established in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, which do not require their inclusion in the city budget or adoption by the City Council. Budgets for capital projects funds are established for individual projects and unexpended funds are re-appropriated each year until the project is completed and capitalized. Budgets for enterprise funds and internal service funds are established to help departments control operational costs. Budgets for permanent funds are established in accordance with endowment requirements. On or before the second regular council meeting in May, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Three public hearings are held prior to the final budget adoption to obtain taxpayer comments. In June, the budget is legally enacted through the passage of an ordinance. The ordinance sets the limit for expenditures during the fiscal year. Additional expenditures may be authorized beyond the limit for expenditures directly necessitated by a natural or man-made disaster as prescribed in the State Constitution, Article 9, Section 20. No supplemental budgetary appropriations were made to the original budget during fiscal year 2025. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 77 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The expenditure appropriations in the adopted budget are allocated by division. The maximum legal expenditure permitted for the fiscal year is the total budget as adopted. Divisional appropriations may be amended during the fiscal year. Upon the recommendation of the City Manager and with the approval of the City Council: 1) transfers may be made from the appropriations for contingencies to divisions and 2) unexpended appropriations may be transferred from one division to another. Management control of budgets is further maintained at a lineitem level within the division. B. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations The Housing Choice Voucher Program Special Revenue Fund, the Streetlight Districts Special Revenue Fund, and the Tourism Development Special Revenue Fund exceeded their expenditure appropriation by $659,000, $5,000, and $734,000 respectively. The additional expenditures incurred were funded by available fund balances within the respective funds. C. Deficit Fund Equity The Community Development Block Grant Special Revenue Fund, HOME Special Revenue Fund, Grants Special Revenue Fund, and the External Sources Capital Project Fund had deficit ending fund balances of $1,000, $56,000, $1,650,000, and $10,997,000 respectively. These deficits were caused by timing differences from pending grant reimbursements and reimbursements from intergovernmental agreements. Revenue accruals are not recognized in the current fiscal year due to the unavailability of the funds. These pending reimbursements will be recognized as revenue when received or available. The Streetlight Districts Special Revenue Fund had a deficit fund balance of $54,000 due to timing differences in collections from the streetlight levy. D.

Risk Management The city is exposed to various risks of loss related to public and aviation liability, self-insured benefits, workers’ compensation, and property and casualty claims. Public liability includes public officials’ errors and omissions, law enforcement liability, premises liability, and automobile and general liability. The city is self-insured for the first $2,000,000 of public liability, the first $100,000 of property coverage, the first $350,000 of health benefits claims for an individual in a fiscal year, and the first $1,000,000 of workers’ compensation claims. Coverage in excess of these respective amounts is provided through the purchase of commercial insurance. As for claim expenditures, settlements for each of the past three fiscal years have not exceeded the city’s excess insurance coverage amounts for any claims. The city reports its self-insurance activity in the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund. Claims liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The liability claims amount recorded in the accompanying financial statements is based on reported pending claims and an actuarial analysis and projection of the accrued liability amounts necessary to fund the claims. As of June 30, 2025, the city’s general, worker’s compensation, auto and property liabilities claims payable totaled $20,311,000 and the self-insured benefits claims payable totaled $3,161,000.

D. Joint Ventures Sub-Regional Operating Group (SROG) The city participates in the multi-city Subregional Operating Group (SROG). SROG was formed pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) to govern the construction, operation, and maintenance of jointly used sewage treatment and transportation facilities. The facilities include the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Salt River Outfall Sewer, the Southern Avenue Interceptor, and related transportation facilities. The City of Phoenix acts as lead agency and is responsible for the planning, budgeting, construction, operation, and maintenance of the facilities. In addition, the City of Phoenix provides all management, personnel, financing arrangements, and accepts federal grants on behalf of the participants. The JEPA requires each city to pay for its share of the actual cash costs of operating and maintaining the facilities based on relative sewage flows and strengths. The city records its share of SROG’s cash deposits, and its equity in the joint venture in the city’s Water and Sewer Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the latest audited information available from SROG, the city’s equity in SROG was $77,942,000 or 12.90 percent of the equity balance and the total cash deposit was $5,500,438. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024, for SROG (the latest SROG Annual Comprehensive Financial Report available) may be obtained from the AMWUA office at 3003 N. Central Avenue, Suite 1550, Phoenix, Arizona, 85012. Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC) The city participates in the Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC), an association of municipalities formed in 2008 to oversee the administration, operation, management, and maintenance of an expanding regional communications network. The RWC was formed through an intergovernmental governance structure founded on the principles of cooperation for the mutual benefit of all members and has expanded to serve a still-growing list of cities, towns, and fire districts, along with many other area entities who serve public safety needs. A regional radio communications network was built to seamlessly serve the interoperable communication needs of first responders and other municipal radio users in and around the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Region. Financial responsibilities are shared by all members based on their relative size as measured by the number of subscriber units (radios) on the network. The City of Phoenix is responsible for the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the network, as well as the management of the RWC’s organization and finances. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 112 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The city records its share of contributions to the RWC, third party contributions paid to the RWC for the benefit of the city, and equity in the joint venture in the city’s proprietary funds and governmentwide financial statements. The equity balance as of June 30, 2024, the latest audited information available from RWC, was $3,074,560 or 6.27 percent of the RWC’s total net position. The city contributed $211,483 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and shared in estimated depreciation expenses of $532,789, resulting in an estimated equity balance as of June 30, 2025, of $2,753,254. The RWC Annual Comprehensive Financial Statement is available from the Regional Wireless Cooperative, 200 West Washington Street, 14th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona, 85003-1611. E. Pollution Remediation In the proprietary funds financial statements, a long-term pollution remediation obligation is recognized for the remaining remediation period. In 1981, groundwater contamination was discovered when elevated levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic chemicals were detected in two active city wells and three future wells. The city immediately shut down the affected wells. Following an investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the North Indian Bend Wash (NIBW) site which includes the five wells above was placed on the federal Superfund list in 1983. The Superfund law was enacted to provide funding and regulatory authority for the study and cleanup of contaminated sites. The EPA, in conjunction with the State of Arizona, directs the cleanup of the NIBW site that encompasses a groundwater contamination plume in Scottsdale. Following its investigation, the EPA identified three companies, Motorola Solutions Inc. (MSI), SMI Holdings, LLC, formerly Siemens Corporation, and GlaxoSmithKline Corporation, as the primary parties potentially responsible for causing the contamination and directed the companies to pay the costs associated with the cleanup. In 1991, the city, EPA, State of Arizona, Salt River Project (SRP), and the above-referenced participating companies entered a Consent Decree to begin the containment and remediation of the contaminated groundwater plume and provide Scottsdale citizens with a potable water source. The companies agreed to pay for the construction and operation of the Central Groundwater Treatment Facility (CGTF), an air stripping plant that removes contaminants from the affected wells. As the CGTF operator and drinking water provider, the city ensures the water produced by the plant meets all federal and state water quality standards before water is delivered into the city’s distribution system. An Amended Consent Decree was signed by all parties in 2003 to capture additional voluntary and required work at the NIBW Site. No additional obligations were identified for the city. To facilitate groundwater sustainability and plume management, in 2012 the city voluntarily entered into an agreement with MSI to operate an additional groundwater treatment facility that would be designed and constructed to deliver treated water to the Chaparral Water Treatment Plant (CWTP). The North Indian Bend Wash Granular Activated Carbon Treatment Facility (NGTF) was completed in late 2013 and began delivery of water to the CWTP in August 2014. The facility is a granular activated carbon plant that is owned by MSI but operated and maintained by the city to treat a well owned by SRP. The type of treatment chosen was due to the lower concentration of contaminants in the well. All costs are reimbursed to the city by MSI. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 113 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The measurement of the city’s pollution remediation obligation liability includes all remediation work that the city expects to perform, including work expected to be performed for the participating companies. To estimate the CGTF liability, 18 projected cash flows, based on the prior 18 years of historical costs and weighted equally, were used to calculate an average annual cost. To estimate the NGTF liability, twelve projected cash flows, based on the prior twelve years of historical costs and weighted equally, were used to calculate an average annual cost. These average costs were then projected over the remaining remediation period of 49 years for the CGTF and the NGTF. The EPA estimated in its September 2011 review that future remediation will be required for approximately 50-70 years at each site. The most recent five-year EPA review, released in November 2022, did not quantify the remedial time needed to achieve aquifer restoration. Improvements in technology and changes in laws or regulations did not impact the average annual cost. The liability is revalued annually. The fiscal year 2025 reimbursable outlays for operating and monitoring the CGTF were $665,192 and for the NGTF were $279,214. The city has a reimbursement agreement with the responsible parties and the total liability is expected to be fully recovered by the participating companies and therefore a corresponding pollution remediation recoveries receivable has been accrued. In September 2023, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified the City of Scottsdale and another party as potentially responsible parties for soil vapor contamination (chlorinated solvents) at the North Indian Bend Wash Superfund Site, Area 7. Upon completion of a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study, the EPA will choose a remedy for the site. The potential remedies vary greatly in scope and cannot be reasonably estimated until the completion of the study. F. Related Organization The Industrial Development Authority (IDA) is a non-profit corporation established by the city and granted incorporation by the Arizona Corporation Commission in 1984. The primary function of the IDA is to promote the retention, expansion, and attraction of businesses and commercial enterprises in Scottsdale. The City Council appoints the Board of Directors of the IDA and is also involved in granting and denying IDA bond applications. G. Pension, Retirement, and Other Postemployment Benefit Plans All eligible employees of the City, including the Mayor and the City Council, are covered by one of four pension plans. All full-time City employees, except public safety personnel (police officers and firefighters) and the Mayor and City Council, participate in the Arizona State Retirement System, a cost-sharing multipleemployer defined benefit pension plan. All public safety personnel participate in the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, which consists of both an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution plan. The Mayor and City Council participate in either the Elected Officials’ Retirement Plan (a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan) or the Elected Officials’ Defined Contribution Retirement System (a defined contribution plan). The city contributes to the Elected Officials’ Retirement Plan; however, the plan is not described below because of its relative insignificance to the financial statements. All plans are component units of the State of Arizona. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 114 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 In addition to pension benefits, the city provides other postemployment benefits (OPEB) to Public Safety Personnel Retirement System accidental disability retirees through the city’s self-insured health plan. The benefit terms are the same as those afforded to active employees; however, retirees participating in the Plan are required to pay 100 percent of the blended actuarial rate. A summary of pension and other postemployment benefit related items as of and for the year-ended June 30, 2025 is presented below (in thousands).

ASRS administers a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. ASRS was established by the State of Arizona to provide pension benefits for employees of the State and participating political subdivisions and school districts. ASRS is administered in accordance with Title 38, Chapter 5, Articles 2 and 2.1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS). ASRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to ASRS Financial Services Division, 3300 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85012, or by visiting https://www. azasrs.gov/content/annual-reports. The ASRS other postemployment benefit plans are not further disclosed due to their relative insignificance to the financial statements. Benefits Provided ASRS provides retirement and survivor benefits. State statute establishes benefits terms. A member may retire upon meeting the following age and service requirements: Initial Membership Date Pre-July 1, 2011 July 1, 2011 and after Age Years of Service Age Years of Service 65 N/A 62 10 Age plus years of service total 80 65 62 60 55 N/A 10 25 30 City of Scottsdale, Arizona 116 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The retirement benefit is based on a percentage of average monthly compensation (benefit multiplier) multiplied by the years of credited service. The compensation generally does not include lump sum payments on termination of employment for accumulated vacation leave, sick leave, compensation time pay, termination incentive pay, or any other form of termination pay (see discussion of pre-January 1, 1984, members below). The benefit multiplier percentage and average monthly compensation are defined in the following schedules: Years of Service 0.00-19.99 years 20.00-24.99 years 25.00-29.99 years 30.00 or more years Multiplier 2.10% 2.15% 2.20% 2.30% Membership Date Pre-July 1, 2011 July 1, 2011 and after Average Monthly Compensation 36 consecutive months of highest compensation within final 120 months of service 60 consecutive months of highest compensation within final 120 months of service Members who began participation in the Plan prior to January 1, 1984, may choose to have average monthly compensation determined based upon the period of 60 consecutive months during which the member receives the highest compensation within the last 120 months of service, including lump sum payments as described above. Members who attain age 50 with at least five years of total credited service may take an early retirement; however, the amount of their retirement benefit is actuarially reduced. Survivor benefits are applicable if death occurs prior to retirement, and are payable, at the option of the beneficiary, by either of the following methods: 1. 2. A lump sum equal to the sum of (a) and (b): a. the sum of the member’s combined (member and employer) accumulated contribution balance with compound interest at a rate determined by the board through the day of the payment of the benefit, and b. the amount of the member’s combined (member and employer) accumulated account, along with any supplemental credits transferred from the System (closed portion of ASRS) to the Plan with compound interest at a rate determined by the board through the day of the payment of the benefit. The beneficiary may elect to receive a monthly income, in the single life form, which is actuarially equivalent to the lump sum above. Retirees who have been retired one year are eligible for a permanent benefit increase (PBI) up to a maximum of 4 percent. The PBI is paid from a reserve of “Excess Investment Earnings.” If there are no “Excess Investment Earnings” in reserve, then no PBI is paid. Further, PBI enhancements (EPBI) provide retired members with at least ten years of service who have been retired five or more years an additional benefit. For each complete 5-year period the member has been retired, an incremental benefit is paid if monies to pay the benefit are available. This benefit is funded by an interest credit of 8 percent of the reserve for future PBIs. Due to legislation enacted in the 2013 legislative session, PBIs and EPBIs will not be awarded to members hired on or after September 13, 2013. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 117 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Contributions The ARS provide statutory authority for determining the employees’ and employers’ contribution amounts as a percentage of the city’s covered payroll. Although the statutes prescribe the basis for making the actuarial calculation, the Arizona legislature is authorized to approve a contribution rate other than the actuarially determined rate. Employees were required to contribute 12.12 percent of their annual pay for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and the city’s required contribution rate was 12.05 percent during the same period. In addition, the city was required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 10.14 percent of annual covered payroll of retired members who worked for the city in positions that would typically be filled by an employee who contributes to the ASRS. The required contribution rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, was actuarially determined to yield contribution amounts sufficient to finance costs earned by employees during the year and to amortize the Plan’s unfunded actuarially accrued liability over the period specified in the statutes. Contributions to the pension plan by the city amounted to $17,843,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2025, the city reported a liability of $163,786,607 for its proportionate share of the collective net pension liability of the ASRS. The collective net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the collective net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. Update procedures were used to roll forward the total pension liability to the measurement date. The city’s proportion of the collective net pension liability was based on the city’s proportionate share of accrued contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all participating entities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the city’s proportion was 1.02357 percent, which was an increase of 0.02749 percent over its proportion measured as of June 30, 2023. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the city recognized a collective pension expense of $15,125,081. As of June 30, 2025, the city reported a collective deferred outflow of resources and a collective deferred inflow of resources related to pensions from the following sources (in thousands): Deferred Outflows of Resources Differences between expected and actual experience $ 9,142 Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments Changes in proportion and differences between city contributions and proportionate share of contributions City contributions subsequent to the measurement date Total $ City of Scottsdale, Arizona 118 Deferred Inflows of Resources $ - - 10,460 2,935 1,985 17,843 29,920 $ 12,445 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The $17,843,000 reported as a collective deferred outflow of resources related to pensions resulting from city contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the collective net pension liability in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Other amounts reported as a collective deferred outflow of resources and a collective deferred inflow of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ending June 30: 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Thereafter $ (5,202) 9,402 (2,648) (1,920) - Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2024, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Actuarial valuation date Actuarial roll forward date Actuarial cost method Amortization method Plan amendments Investment gain/loss Assumption gain/loss Experience gain/loss Proportion/proportionate share gain/loss Asset valuation Discount rate Projected salary increases Inflation Permanent benefit increase Mortality rates June 30, 2023 June 30, 2024 Entry age normal Immediate Five years Average remaining service lives Average remaining service lives Average remaining service lives Fair value 7.0% 2.9-8.4% 2.3% Included 2017 SRA Scale U-MP The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2020. The ASRS Board adopted the experience study recommended changes which were first applied to the June 30, 2020, actuarial valuation. The expected long-term rate of return on ASRS pension plan investments was determined to be 4.60 percent (excluding investment expense and inflation) using a building-block method in which bestestimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage. The target allocation and best estimates of long-term expected geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: City of Scottsdale, Arizona 119 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Target Asset Allocation Asset Class Public Equity Credit Real Estate Private Equity Interest Rate Sensitive Total Real Return Geometric Basis 44% 23% 17% 10% 6% 100% 4.48% 4.40% 6.05% 6.11% -0.45% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be made on the actuarially determined rates. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all the projected future benefit payments of current members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Collective Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the city’s proportionate share of the collective net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0 percent, as well as what the city’s proportionate share of the collective net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.0 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.0 percent) than the current rate (in thousands): City's proportionate share of the collective net pension liability 1% Decrease (6.0%) Discount Rate (7.0%) 1% Increase (8.0%) $ $ $ 250,791 163,787 91,276 Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position The pension plan’s fiduciary net position has been determined on the same basis used by the pension plan. The financial statements of ASRS are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply to government accounting of fiduciary funds issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable. Expenses are recorded when the corresponding liabilities are incurred, regardless of when payment is made. Fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset and gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). City of Scottsdale, Arizona 120 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. Investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Cash and short-term investments generally include cash, foreign currencies, short-term investment funds, and U.S. Treasury bills that mature within one year. These investments are reported at cost. Detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued ASRS financial report. Public Safety Personnel Retirement System General Information about the Pension Plan Plan Description All the city’s sworn public safety personnel participate in the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). PSPRS administers both an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution plan. The defined contribution plan is only available to police department members who became a member on or after July 1, 2017, and fire department members who became a member on or after January 1, 2012. The defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans are administered in accordance with Title 38, Chapter 5, Articles 4 and 4.1, respectively, of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS). PSPRS acts as a common investment and administrative agent that is jointly administered by a nine-member board known as the Board of Trustees (the Board) and 234 local boards. PSPRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, 3010 East Camelback Road, Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85016, calling (602) 255-5575, or by visiting: https://www.psprs.com/investments--financials/annual-reports. The PSPRS other postemployment benefit plan is not further disclosed due to its relative insignificance to the financial statements. Benefits Provided PSPRS provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. State statute establishes benefit terms. Retirement benefits for employees who became a member on or before December 31, 2011 (Tier 1 members) commence the first day of the month following termination of employment and are calculated based upon the following age and service requirements: 1. Age 62 with 15 years of service, or 20 years of service with less than 20 years of credited service: 50 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for the first 20 years of credited service. The pension is reduced by 4 percent per year for each year of credited service under 20 years. 2. 20 to 24.99 years of credited service: 50 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for the first 20 years of credited service plus 2 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for each year of credited service between 20 and 24.99. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 121 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 3. 25 or more years of credited service: 50 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for the first 20 years of credited service plus 2.5 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for each year of credited service above 20 years - up to a maximum of 80 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation. Retirement benefits for employees who became a member on or after January 1, 2012, and on or before June 30, 2017, (Tier 2 members) commence the first day of the month following termination of employment and are calculated based upon the following age and service requirements: 1. Age 52.5 with 15 years of credited service but less than 25 years: average monthly benefit compensation multiplied by a multiplier that varies by years of service, from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent per year of service, multiplied by the number of years of service. 2. Age 52.5 with 25 years of service: 62.5 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation. Benefits will be reduced by 4 percent for each year of credited service under 25 years. 3. 25 or more years of service: 62.5 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for the first 25 years of credited service plus 2.5 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation for each year over 25 years of credited service - up to a maximum of 80 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation. The pension is reduced by 4 percent per year for each year of credited service under 25 years with a pro-rata reduction for any fractional years. Retirement benefits for employees who became a member on or after July 1, 2017, (Tier 3 members) are contingent upon which retirement plan is chosen by a member. This group of members has an irrevocable choice of enrolling in either the defined benefit plan (police employees) or a hybrid plan, which has elements of both a defined benefit and defined contribution plan (fire employees), or a defined contribution plan in lieu of the respective choices listed above (both police and fire employees). If enrolling in the defined benefit plan or hybrid plan, benefits (defined benefit portion only for the hybrid plan) commence the first day of the month following termination of employment and are based upon the following age and service requirements: 1. Age 55 with 15 or more years of credited service: average monthly benefit compensation times a multiplier that varies by years of service, from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent per year of service, times the number of years of service - up to a maximum of 80 percent of the average monthly benefit compensation. 2. An individual who became a member on or after July 1, 2017, and reaches age 52.5 with at least 15 years of credited service may take an early retirement; however, the amount of his or her retirement benefit is actuarially reduced. The phrase “average monthly benefit compensation,” as it is used in the above discussion, is defined in the following schedule: City of Scottsdale, Arizona 122 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Membership Tier Average Monthly Compensation Tier 1 36 consecutive months of highest covered payroll within the last 20 years of service Tier 2 60 consecutive months of highest covered payroll within the last 20 years of service Tier 3 60 consecutive months of highest compensation within the last 15 years of service Disability benefits are calculated as follows: Accidental Disability Retirement: 50% of average monthly compensation, or the monthly Normal Retirement pension that the member is entitled to receive if he or she retired immediately, whichever is greater. Catastrophic Disability Retirement: 90% of Average Monthly Benefit Compensation for the first 60 months. Thereafter, the benefit is the greater of 62.5% of Average Monthly Benefit Compensation and the member’s accrued normal pension. Ordinary Disability Retirement: Normal Retirement pension that the member is entitled to receive, prorated based on Credited Service earned over the required Credited Service for Normal Retirement (maximum ratio of 1). Survivor benefits are paid on behalf of an active member in the amount of 80 percent of the pension based on the calculation for an accidental disability retirement. If the member was killed in the line of duty, the benefit is 100 percent of the member’s Average Monthly Benefit Compensation. The benefit amount is allocated to the surviving spouse and, if applicable, eligible children. If there is no surviving spouse, and there is at least one eligible child, the guardian of the eligible child(ren) and the eligible child(ren) are the recipients of the benefit. If there is no surviving spouse or eligible child(ren), the member’s named refund beneficiary on file will receive the member’s accumulated contributions. Benefits are paid on behalf of an inactive, non-retired member to the member’s named refund beneficiary in the amount of the member’s accumulated contributions. Death benefits are paid on behalf of a retired member in a manner similar to that of an active member. The surviving spouse will receive 80 percent of the member’s pension benefit for life. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 123 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 A retired member, or survivor of a retired member, may be eligible for a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) from the System if monies are available. COLA eligibility and calculation is contingent upon the member’s hire date. Members, or survivors of retired members, who were hired before July 1, 2017, are eligible to receive a compounding COLA on the base benefit of up to 2 percent per year. The COLA will be based on the average annual percentage change in the Metropolitan Phoenix-Mesa Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics. Members, or survivors of retired members, who were hired on or after July 1, 2017, are eligible to receive a compounding COLA on the base benefit, beginning at the earlier of the first calendar year after the seventh anniversary of the retired member’s retirement or when the retired member reaches sixty years of age. The COLA will be based on the average annual percentage change in the Metropolitan Phoenix-Mesa Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics. COLA adjustments will be received for this cohort if the following conditions are met: Ratio of Actuarial Value of Assets to Liabilities 70-80% 80-90% >90% Maximum increase 1.0% 1.5% 2.0% Employees Covered by Benefit Terms As of June 30, 2025, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms: Inactive plan members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits Active plan members Total 412 181 566 1,159 Contributions ARS Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 4, Section 38-843 provides the authority for determining the city and active employee contribution requirements to the PSPRS pension plan. The contribution rates for employers are based on an actuarially determined rate recommended by an independent actuary contracted by the Board. The contribution rates for employees are prescribed by the ARS Section referenced above. For Tier 1 and Tier 2 employees, the actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned during the year by these employees, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The unfunded accrued liability portion of the rate is paid by the city as a percentage of the pay of all the city’s active PSPRS members, regardless of start date. For Tier 3 employees, each employer shall make contributions sufficient to pay fifty percent of both the normal cost plus the actuarially determined amount required to amortize the total unfunded accrued liability attributable only to those members hired on or after July 1, 2017. As noted above, the city will also pay an amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability relating to employees hired before July 1, 2017. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 124 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The city’s pension-related contribution rates for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were: Police Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 7/1/2017 or later Membership date 7/19/2011 or earlier On or after 7/20/2011 1/1/2012 or later Plan type Defined benefit Defined benefit Defined benefit Defined benefit Defined contribution Employee contribution rate 7.65% 7.65% 7.65% 8.42% 9.00% Employer contribution rate 56.73% 56.73% 56.73% 51.23% 51.81% Fire Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 1/1/2012 or later 7/1/2017 or later Membership date 7/19/2011 or earlier On or after 7/20/2011 Plan type Defined benefit Defined benefit Defined benefit (hybrid) Defined contribution (hybrid) Defined benefit (hybrid) Defined contribution (hybrid) Employee contribution rate 7.65% 7.65% 7.65% 3.00% 9.67% 3.00% 9.00% Employer contribution rate 27.74% 27.74% 27.74% 4.00% 22.27% 3.00% 21.61% Defined contribution Participants’ defined contributions and the earnings on those contributions are immediately vested. A participant is fully vested in employer contributions after ten years of service; the vesting occurs at a rate of ten percent per year. If a participant dies or is determined to be eligible for an accidental or catastrophic disability pension before completing ten years of service, the employer contributions are immediately fully vested. In addition, the city was required by statute to contribute an actuarially determined rate (42.81 percent for police employees and 12.61 percent for fire employees) of annual covered payroll of retired members who worked for the city in positions that would typically be filled by an employee who contributes to PSPRS. The city’s contributions to the pension plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, were $26,715,103. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 125 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 ARS Title 9, Chapter 8, Article 3, Section 9-952 requires the state treasurer to distribute a fire insurance premium tax to the respective incorporated cities and towns and legally organized fire districts in proportion to the full cash value of the real property and improvements in each incorporated city and town and legally organized fire district that procures the services of a private fire company and in each area served by a fire department or legally organized fire district. The annual tax provided by law is based on a portion of the premiums received on policies and contracts of fire insurance covering property within the state. The warrant issued by the state treasurer is deposited on the city’s behalf into the pension plan. PSPRS received $3,888,314 of fire insurance premium tax for the city’s fire pension plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. PSPRS accounts for the fire insurance premium tax collected for the city as employer contributions. Net Pension Liability The city’s net pension liability of $172,115,171 was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2024, measurement was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Actuarial Cost Method Inflation Salary Increases Tier 1/2 Investment Rate of Return Tier 3 Investment Rate of Return Mortality rates Entry Age Normal 2.50% 1.25%-12.50% 7.20% 7.00% Active Lives: PubS-2010 Employee mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.03 for male members and 1.08 for female members, with generational improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale MP-2021). 100% of active deaths are assumed to be in the line of duty. Inactive Lives: PubS-2010 Healthy Retiree mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.03 for male retirees and 1.11 for female retirees, with generational improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale MP-2021). Beneficiaries: PubS-2010 Survivor mortality, adjusted by a factor of 0.98 for male beneficiaries and adjusted by a factor of 1.06 for female beneficiaries, with generational improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale MP-2021). Disabled Lives: PubS-2010 Disabled mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.08 for male disabled members and 1.01 for female disabled members, with generational improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale MP-2021). City of Scottsdale, Arizona 126 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2024, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2021. The purpose of the experience study was to review actual experience in relation to the actuarial assumptions in effect. The PSPRS Board adopted the experience study recommended changes which were applied to the June 30, 2022, actuarial evaluation. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments can be determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target asset allocation adopted as of June 30, 2024, as provided by PSPRS, are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Cash - Mellon Diversifying Strategies Core Bonds International Public Equity Private Credit U.S. Public Equity Global Private Equity Target Allocation 2% 5% 6% 16% 20% 24% 27% 100% Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return 0.89% 3.15% 2.44% 4.47% 6.24% 3.62% 7.05% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.20 percent for Tier 1/2 members and 7.00 percent for Tier 3 members. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rates assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the PSPRS plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

PSPRS financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of PSPRS. Refunds are due and payable by state law within 20 days of receipt of a written application for a refund. Refunds are recorded when paid. Expenses are recorded when the corresponding liabilities are incurred, regardless of when payment is made. PSPRS investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost plus accrued interest. Derivative instruments’ fair values are determined by the custodial agent. The fair value of limited partnership investments is based on estimated current value and accepted industry practice. Fair value measurements are categorized within the hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset’s fair value. Investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are determined as follows: • Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets • Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable • Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs are unobservable The fair value of alternative investments is based on the investments’ NAV per share. These are investments for which exchange quotations are not readily available and are valued at estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by the General Partner of each fund or by the investment manager responsible for that sector. Detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued PSPRS financial report. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 130 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the city recognized pension expense of $31,587,319 related to the defined benefit plan and the defined benefit portion of the hybrid plan and $539,339 related to the defined contribution plan and the defined contribution portion of the hybrid plan.

Participants in this plan include only those elected officials who began service subsequent to December 31, 2013, and had no relationship to ASRS or EORP at the inception of service. The Board of Trustees of the PSPRS is also the administrator for the EODCRS. City of Scottsdale, Arizona 131 Table of contents Notes to Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for EODCRS are established by Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 3.1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) and may be amended by the State of Arizona. For each member of EODCRS, the city is required to contribute 6 percent of gross compensation to an individual member retirement account. Members are required to contribute 8 percent of gross compensation to their retirement account. Members are immediately vested in both their and the city’s contributions and earnings on those contributions. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the city recognized pension expense of $14,801. Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB) The cost of postemployment healthcare benefits, from an accrual accounting perspective, should be associated with the periods in which the future costs are earned rather than in the future years when they will be paid (similar to the cost of pension benefits). GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions requires the city to recognize the entire OPEB liability and a comprehensive measure of OPEB expense. The comprehensive measure of OPEB expense includes immediate recognition in OPEB expense of the effects of changes of benefit terms, as well as the incorporation of the amortization of deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows of resources related to OPEB over a defined, closed period. Plan Description The city’s defined benefit OPEB plan (“the Plan”) provides OPEB for eligible retired employees through a single employer defined benefit medical plan administered by the city. The City Council, by way of resolution, grants itself the authority, on an annual basis, to reestablish and amend the benefit terms and financing requirements of the Plan. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Benefits Provided The Plan offers medical benefits to its eligible retirees and their dependents through the city’s selfinsured health plan. An eligible retiree is a Public Safety Personnel Retirement System accidental disability retired employee. Eligible retirees can enroll in a city plan up to 60 days after they retire; after that their eligibility for this benefit ceases. The benefit terms are the same as those afforded to active employees; however, retirees participating in the Plan are required to pay 100 percent of the blended actuarial rate, while employees pay less than the full amount. Upon a retiree reaching 65 years of age, the retiree and related dependents are no longer eligible for city coverage.

Other Postemployment Benefits In addition to pension benefits, the city provides an option for post-retirement healthcare benefits, in accordance with Chapter 14 of the City Code. Employees hired before July 1, 1982, receive cash equal to 50 percent of the first 520 hours of unused medical leave plus 25 percent of all hours in excess of 520. The conversion rate is the employee’s average hourly base pay rate for the five years immediately preceding retirement. The medical leave not paid out in cash is applied to a retirement health savings account at the employee’s hourly rate of pay at the time of retirement. For shift fire employees with 420 or more hours and all other retirees with 300 or more hours of accumulated medical leave hired on or after July 1, 1982, the city will apply the value of the medical leave to a retirement health savings account. Medical leave balances accumulated through June 30, 2011, will be paid at 100 percent of the employee’s hourly rate at the time of retirement. Medical leave balances accumulated July 1, 2011, or after will be paid out at 50 percent of the employee’s hourly rate at retirement. Additionally, the payout is limited to the value of 1,200 combined hours for all retirees, except shift fire employees, who are limited to 1,680 hours earned both before and after July 1, 2011, unless more than 1,200 or 1,680 hours, respectively, were accrued prior to July 1, 2011. Total hours accrued before July 1, 2011, will be paid without limitation. The projected liability for active employees, as of June 30, 2025, was $17,559,767. The projected liability was considered payable within one year or greater, and therefore considered noncurrent and included in both the proprietary fund and government-wide financial statements.

ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION RATES The actuarially determined contribution rates for PSPRS are calculated as of June 30 two years prior to the end of the fiscal year in which contributions are made. The actuarial assumptions used are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. II. FACTORS THAT AFFECT TRENDS Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) The actuarial assumptions related to funding used in the June 30, 2023, valuation for ASRS were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2020. The major changes in assumptions involved the investment return, the inflation rate, general wage inflation, and future permanent benefit increases. The ASRS Board adopted the recommended changes from the experience study, which were first applied to the June 30, 2020, actuarial valuation. Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2024, valuation for PSPRS were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2021. The purpose of the experience study was to review actual experience in relation to the actuarial assumptions in effect. The PSPRS Board adopted the experience study recommended changes, which were applied beginning with the June 30, 2022, actuarial valuation. The total liabilities as of measurement date June 30, 2024 , reflected changes in actuarial assumptions based on the results of the actuarial experience study, including decreasing the discount rate from 7.3 percent to 7.2 percent, changing the wage inflation rate from 3.5 percent to a range of 3.25-15.0 percent, and increasing the cost-of-living adjustment rate from 1.75 percent to 1.85 percent. Arizona courts have ruled those provisions of a 2011 law that changed the mechanism for funding permanent pension benefit increases and increased employee pension contribution rates were unconstitutional or a breach of contract because those provisions apply to individuals who were members as of the law’s effective date. As a result, the PSPRS changed benefit terms to reflect the prior mechanism for funding permanent benefit increases for those members and revised actuarial assumptions to explicitly value future permanent benefit increases. PSPRS also reduced those members’ employee contribution rates. These changes are reflected in the plans’ pension liabilities for fiscal year 2015 (measurement date 2014) for members who were retired as of the law’s effective date and fiscal year 2018 (measurement date 2017) for members who retired or will retire after the law’s effective date. These changes also increased the PSPRS-required pension contributions beginning in fiscal year 2016 for members who were retired as of the law’s effective date. These changes increased the PSPRS-required contributions beginning in fiscal year 2019 for members who retired or will retire after the law’s effective date.

Notes: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the city. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City of Scottsdale. This process recognizes that, when considering the government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government. The proportion of overlapping debt applicable to the city is computed on the ratio of 2024-25 net assessed limited property value for the overlapping jurisdiction within the city to the total net assessed limited property valuation of the overlapping jurisdiction.
