The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of estimates and assumptions, and known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this presentation as a result of the factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic; 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;

Any forward-looking statements American Water makes speak only as of the date of this presentation. American Water does not have or undertake any obligation or intention to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors. Furthermore, it may not be possible to assess the impact of any such factor on the Company’s businesses, either viewed independently or together, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive.


Slide 30

Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios, both historical and forward-looking, which exclude from their calculation (i) estimated purchased water and other revenues and purchased water expenses, (ii) the impact of the Freedom Industries chemical spill in 2014 and certain related settlement activities recognized in 2016 and 2018, (iii) the estimated impact in 2012 and 2014 of weather, (iv) as to operating revenues, the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, and (v) the allocable portion of non-O&M support services costs, mainly depreciation and general taxes. Also, an alternative presentation of these ratios has been provided for each of 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, which includes a pro forma adjustment for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and includes for 2012, 2014 and 2016 the impact of our implementation of Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit, on January 1, 2018. These items were excluded from the O&M efficiency ratio calculation as they are not reflective of management’s ability to increase the efficiency of our regulated businesses. For that reason, these adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. We evaluate our operating performance using these ratios and believe that the presentation of them is useful to investors because the ratios directly measure improvement in the operating performance and efficiency of our regulated businesses. These ratios are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be read in conjunction with our GAAP disclosures and should be considered as an addition to, and not a substitute for, any GAAP measure. These ratios (i) are not accounting measures based on GAAP; (ii) are not based on a standard, objective industry definition or method of calculation; (iii) may not be comparable to other companies’ operating measures; and (iv) should not be used in place of the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this presentation. Management is unable to present a reconciliation of adjustments to the components of the forward-looking adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio without unreasonable effort because management cannot reliably predict the nature, amount or probable significance of all the adjustments for future periods; however, these adjustments may, individually or in the aggregate, cause each of the non-GAAP financial measure components of the forward-looking ratios to differ significantly from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Set forth in this appendix are tables that reconcile each of the components of our historical adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. All references throughout this presentation to EPS or earnings per share refer to diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders.
