- American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) today reported adjusted earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, of $2.00 per share, compared to $1.89 per share for the same quarter in 2025, and $4.63 per share for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2026, compared to $4.40 per share for the same period in 2025.

“The company has delivered solid results to date in 2026, including key regulatory outcomes that provide for a reasonable and timely return on the investments made for the benefit of our customers,” said John Griffith, President and CEO of American Water. “Looking forward to 2027 and beyond, we are fully confident that our long record of consistent execution on the plans we set will continue.”

“On the merger front, we continue to work toward closing the merger with Essential Utilities by the end of the first quarter of 2027 as anticipated. We are encouraged by the continued progress we and Essential are making in the regulatory approval process, including reaching settlement agreements in several states, and with our merger integration planning activities.”

The company’s 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range has been narrowed to $6.07 to $6.12, from the previous 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.02 to $6.12. The 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range does not include (i) transaction costs to be incurred by the company during 2026 related to the proposed merger with Essential Utilities, Inc. (“Essential Utilities”), (ii) impacts of weather during 2026, and (iii) incremental interest income through February 13, 2026 related to the 2024 amendment of the former Homeowner Services Group (“HOS”) secured seller note. See “Adjustments to GAAP” below for more information about this non-GAAP financial measure.

• 2027 standalone adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $6.53 to $6.63 established, 8% EPS growth at midpoint compared to 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range. See “Adjustments to GAAP” below for more information about this non-GAAP financial measure.

standalone capital investment plan of $20+ billion for 2026-2030 and $48+ billion for 2026-2035

Consolidated Results and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation (a non-GAAP measure)

Revenue growth from the implementation of new rates for both the three- and nine-month 2026 periods in the Regulated Businesses from the recovery of capital and acquisition investments was partially offset by higher depreciation and financing costs to support the current capital investment plan and increased operating costs.

During the first nine months of 2026, the company invested $2.8 billion in infrastructure improvements and growth, including $437 million for regulated acquisitions. The company plans to invest a total of approximately $3.7 billion across its footprint in 2026, including acquisitions.

In the third quarter of 2026, the Regulated Businesses’ net income was $407 million, compared to $383 million for the same period in 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, the Regulated Businesses’ net income was $946 million, compared to $872 million for the same period in 2025.

Operating revenues increased $60 million and $212 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in operating revenues was primarily a result of authorized revenue increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings for the recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments, as well as incremental revenue from closed acquisitions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, operating revenues decreased $18 million and $7 million, respectively, from unfavorable weather impacts primarily in the third quarter of 2026 and warm, dry weather primarily in the third quarter of 2025.

Since January 1, 2026, the company has been authorized additional annualized revenues of $284 million, with $179 million from general rate cases and $105 million from infrastructure surcharges. The company has general rate cases in progress in five jurisdictions and has filed for infrastructure surcharges in two jurisdictions, reflecting a total annualized incremental revenue request of $360 million.

Operating expenses were higher by $30 million and $103 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, due in part to increased production costs from higher purchased water cost and usage and increased purchased power and chemicals costs, partially offset by a decrease in operating supplies and services costs, primarily from lower technology related costs, and a decrease in maintenance materials and supplies costs. Operating expenses also include depreciation expense, which was higher by $18 million and $60 million in the same periods, due to the increase in capital investment.

Interest expense was higher by $9 million and $32 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, as a result of incremental short and long-term debt primarily to fund capital investments and acquisitions.

On October 27, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.8950 per share, payable on December 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of November 12, 2026.

The conference call to discuss the third quarter 2026 earnings, 2027 standalone adjusted EPS guidance, and affirmation of long-term targets will take place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested parties may listen to an audio webcast through a link on the company’s Investor Relations website at ir.amwater.com .

Throughout this press release, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “company” and “American Water” mean American Water Works Company, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole. All statements related to earnings and earnings per share refer to diluted earnings and earnings per share.

This press release includes presentations of consolidated adjusted diluted EPS, both as historical financial information and as earnings guidance. These presentations of adjusted EPS constitute “non-GAAP financial measures ” under SEC rules. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for historical adjusted EPS is the reported diluted earnings per share (GAAP) and is reconciled in “Consolidated Results and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation” above. See also “2026 EPS Guidance and Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed” above for more information on adjustments made to diluted EPS for purposes of earnings guidance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the company’s consolidated financial information but are not presented in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information by excluding certain matters that may not be indicative of the company’s ongoing operating results, and, with respect to weather, to provide for a measure of the company’s operating performance without the variability of estimated weather impacts, and that providing these non-GAAP measures will allow investors to better understand the businesses’ operating performance and facilitate a meaningful year-to-year comparison of the company’s results of operations. Although management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the company’s results of operations, management does not intend results reflected by these non-GAAP measures to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider them as indicators of performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures as defined and used above may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and, accordingly, they may have significant limitations on their use.

Also, management is unable to present a reconciliation of each of the adjusted EPS guidance ranges to a GAAP guidance range without unreasonable effort because management cannot reliably predict the nature, amount or probable significance of all of such adjustments for future periods; however, these adjustments may, individually or in the aggregate, cause adjusted EPS to differ significantly from GAAP EPS. The company’s earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under “Adjustments to GAAP” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” below and under “Risk Factors” in its annual, quarterly, and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements made, referred to or relied upon in this press release including, without limitation, 2026 and 2027 adjusted earnings per share guidance, the company’s long-term financial, growth and dividend targets, the ability to achieve the company’s strategies and goals, customer affordability and acquired customer growth, the outcome of the company ’ s current, future or completed acquisition activity (including, without limitation, with respect to the proposed merger with Essential Utilities and the acquisition of systems formerly owned indirectly by Nexus Water Group, Inc.), the amount and allocation of projected capital expenditures, the company ’ s capital recovery outlook, and estimated revenues from rate cases and other government agency authorizations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal securities laws. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words with prospective meanings such as “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “propose,” “assume,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “likely,” “uncertain,” “future,” “pending,” “goal,” “objective,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek to,” “may,” “can,” “will,” “should” and “could” or the negative of such terms or other variations or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are predictions based on American Water’s current expectations and assumptions regarding future events. They are not guarantees or assurances of any outcomes, financial results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon them. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. The company's actual results may vary materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this press release as a result of the factors discussed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent filings with the SEC, and because of factors such as: the decisions of governmental and regulatory bodies, including decisions to raise or lower customer rates; the timeliness and outcome of regulatory commissions’ and other authorities’ actions concerning rates, capital structure, authorized return on equity, capital investment, system acquisitions and dispositions, taxes, permitting, water supply and management, and other decisions; changes in customer demand for, and patterns of use of, water and energy, such as may result from conservation efforts, or otherwise; limitations on the availability of the company’s water supplies or sources of water, or restrictions on its use thereof, resulting from allocation rights, governmental or regulatory requirements and restrictions, drought, overuse or other factors; a loss of one or more large industrial or commercial customers due to adverse economic conditions, or other factors; present and future proposed changes in laws, governmental regulations and policies, including with respect to the environment (such as, for example, potential improvements or changes to existing Federal regulations with respect to lead and copper service lines and galvanized steel pipe), health and safety, data and consumer privacy, security and protection, water quality and water quality

Revenue growth from the implementation of new rates for both the three- and
nine-month 2026 periods in the Regulated Businesses from the recovery of capital
and acquisition investments was partially offset by higher depreciation and
financing costs to support the current capital investment plan and increased
operating costs.

During the first nine months of 2026, the company invested $2.8 billion in
infrastructure improvements and growth, including $437 million for regulated
acquisitions. The company plans to invest a total of approximately $3.7 billion
across its footprint in 2026, including acquisitions.
                                         
  PRESS RELEASE    2    www.amwater.com  
                                         
                                                                                
  Regulated Businesses                                                          
                                                                                
In the third quarter of 2026, the Regulated Businesses’ net income was $407
million, compared to $383 million for the same period in 2025. For the first
nine months of 2026, the Regulated Businesses’ net income was $946 million,
compared to $872 million for the same period in 2025.

Operating revenues increased $60 million and $212 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The
increase in operating revenues was primarily a result of authorized revenue
increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings for
the recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments, as well as
incremental revenue from closed acquisitions. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2026, operating revenues decreased $18 million and $7
million, respectively, from unfavorable weather impacts primarily in the third
quarter of 2026 and warm, dry weather primarily in the third quarter of 2025.

Since January 1, 2026, the company has been authorized additional annualized
revenues of $284 million, with $179 million from general rate cases and $105
million from infrastructure surcharges. The company has general rate cases in
progress in five jurisdictions and has filed for infrastructure surcharges in
two jurisdictions, reflecting a total annualized incremental revenue request of
$360 million.

Operating expenses were higher by $30 million and $103 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025,
due in part to increased production costs from higher purchased water cost and
usage and increased purchased power and chemicals costs, partially offset by a
decrease in operating supplies and services costs, primarily from lower
technology related costs, and a decrease in maintenance materials and supplies
costs. Operating expenses also include depreciation expense, which was higher by
$18 million and $60 million in the same periods, due to the increase in capital
investment.

Interest expense was higher by $9 million and $32 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, as a
result of incremental short and long-term debt primarily to fund capital
investments and acquisitions.

On October 27, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend payment of $0.8950 per share, payable on December 1, 2026, to
shareholders of record as of November 12, 2026.

Throughout this press release, unless the context otherwise requires, references

  Adjustments to GAAP                                                           
                                                                                
This press release includes presentations of consolidated adjusted diluted EPS,
both as historical financial information and as earnings guidance. These
presentations of adjusted EPS constitute “non-GAAP financial measures ” under
SEC rules. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for historical adjusted EPS
is the reported diluted earnings per share (GAAP) and is reconciled in
“Consolidated Results and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation” above. See
also “2026 EPS Guidance and Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed” above for more
information on adjustments made to diluted EPS for purposes of earnings
guidance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the company’s consolidated
financial information but are not presented in the financial statements prepared
in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be considered in addition to, and
not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide
investors with useful information by excluding certain matters that may not be
indicative of the company’s ongoing operating results, and, with respect to
weather, to provide for a measure of the company’s operating performance without
the variability of estimated weather impacts, and that providing these non-GAAP
measures will allow investors to better understand the businesses’ operating
performance and facilitate a meaningful year-to-year comparison of the company’s
results of operations. Although management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures internally to evaluate the company’s results of operations, management
does not intend results reflected by these non-GAAP measures to represent
results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider them as
indicators of performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures as
defined and used above may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP
measures used by other companies, and, accordingly, they may have significant
limitations on their use.

Also, management is unable to present a reconciliation of each of the adjusted
EPS guidance ranges to a GAAP guidance range without unreasonable effort because
management cannot reliably predict the nature, amount or probable significance
of all of such adjustments for future periods; however, these adjustments may,
individually or in the aggregate, cause adjusted EPS to differ significantly
from GAAP EPS. The company’s earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks
and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under
“Adjustments to GAAP” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements” below and under “Risk Factors” in its annual, quarterly, and current
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made, referred to or relied upon in this press release
including, without limitation, 2026 and 2027 adjusted earnings per share
guidance, the company’s long-term financial, growth and dividend targets, the
ability to achieve the company’s strategies and goals, customer affordability
and acquired customer growth, the outcome of the company ’ s current, future or
completed acquisition activity (including, without limitation, with respect to
the proposed merger with Essential Utilities and the acquisition of systems
formerly owned indirectly by Nexus Water Group, Inc.), the amount and allocation
of projected capital expenditures, the company ’ s capital recovery outlook, and
estimated revenues from rate cases and other government agency authorizations,
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal

“estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “propose,”
“assume,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “likely,” “uncertain,” “future,” “pending,”
“goal,” “objective,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek to,” “may,” “can,” “will,”
“should” and “could” or the negative of such terms or other variations or
similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are predictions based on
American Water’s current expectations and assumptions regarding future events.
They are not guarantees or assurances of any outcomes, financial results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements, and readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance upon them. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors. The company's actual results may vary materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this press release as a

the year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent filings with the SEC, and
because of factors such as: the decisions of governmental and regulatory bodies,
including decisions to raise or lower customer rates; the timeliness and outcome
