CAMDEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, of $1.44 per share, compared to $1.20 per share for the same quarter in 2022 and $2.37 per share for the year-to date period ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.07 per share for the same period in 2022.
“The company has delivered excellent results for the first half of the year,” said M. Susan Hardwick, president and CEO of American Water. “We continue to execute on our strategy and are well positioned to achieve our expected growth in 2023 and beyond."
“Also in the first half of the year we have successfully completed our entire 2023 financing plan with the issuance of the exchangeable senior notes in June. In total, just over $1.0 billion was issued with an annual interest rate of 3.625%. This follows our $1.7 billion common equity issuance in March. With our financing for the year secured, the company is well-positioned to fund our near-term growth plan using long-term capital,” said Hardwick.
2023 EPS Guidance and Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed
The company affirms its 2023 earnings per share guidance range of $4.72 to $4.82, on a weather-normalized basis. The company also affirms its long-term financial targets for the 2023-2027 period announced in Nov. 2022, including its long-term EPS and dividend growth rate targets of 7-9%. The company’s earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under “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”). All statements related to earnings and earnings per share refer to diluted earnings and earnings per share.
Consolidated Results
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, earnings per share were $1.44 and $2.37, respectively, compared to $1.20 and $2.07 per share in the same periods in 2022. These increases were primarily driven by the implementation of new rates in the Regulated Businesses for the recovery of capital and acquisition investments, offset somewhat by increased production costs, including inflationary pressures, and higher pension costs since mid-2022. Approximately 75% of the estimated impact of increased production costs, including chemicals, power and other fuel, and of higher pension costs, are reflected in higher revenues in 2023 from rate cases recently completed. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, also reflect the favorable impact of weather, estimated at $0.07 per share, due to warm, dry weather in the second quarter of 2023. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, also reflect the impact of share dilution from the equity financing of $0.10 and $0.11 per share, respectively, which offsets the avoided interest expense.
The company is on track to meet its capital investment plan for the year with investments of $1.2 billion in the first half of 2023, including $1.15 billion for infrastructure improvements and replacements in the Regulated Businesses. The company plans to invest a total of approximately $2.9 billion across its footprint in 2023, including approximately $0.4 billion for acquisitions. As of June 30, 2023, the company had $555 million of acquisitions under agreement, including the wastewater assets of the Butler Area Sewer Authority in Pennsylvania for a total purchase price of $232 million, and the wastewater treatment plant from Granite City, Illinois for $83 million, both of which the company now expects to close in late 2023, pending each acquisition’s regulatory approval.
Regulated Businesses
In the second quarter of 2023, Regulated Businesses’ net income was $278 million, compared to $219 million for the same period in 2022. For the first six months of 2023, the Regulated Businesses’ net income was $452 million, compared to $379 million for the same period in 2022.
Operating revenues increased $140 million and $222 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. 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.
To date, the company has been authorized additional annualized revenues of $273 million from general rate cases in 2023. Further, $67 million of additional annualized revenues from infrastructure surcharges have been authorized and are effective in 2023. The company has general rate cases in progress in four jurisdictions, and has filed for infrastructure surcharges in one jurisdiction, reflecting a total annualized revenue request of $155 million.
Operation and maintenance (“O&M”) expenses were higher by $24 million and $39 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to increases in production costs, including from inflationary pressures, that began to accelerate in mid-2022 and an increase in employee headcount to support growth in the business. Pension costs, included in Other Inc/Exp, were also higher in the quarter and year-to-date periods. Depreciation expense was higher by $15 million and $29 million in the same periods, respectively, due to the growing capital investment. Also, net interest expense was higher by $9 million and $31 million, in the same periods, respectively, due to additional long-term debt and higher rates on short-term debt.
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the company’s adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 33.1%, compared to 33.7% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. The ratio reflects an increase in operating revenues for the Regulated Businesses, after considering the adjustment for the amortization of the excess accumulated deferred income taxes (“EADIT”) shown in the table below, as well as the continued focus on operating costs.
Exchangeable Senior Note Issuance
On June 29, 2023, American Water Capital Corp. (“AWCC”), the wholly owned finance subsidiary of American Water, issued $1.035 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.625% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). AWCC received net proceeds of approximately $1.022 billion, after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deduction of offering expenses payable by AWCC. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay AWCC’s commercial paper obligations and the remainder is being used for general corporate purposes. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AWCC and have the benefit of a support agreement from parent company, which serves as the functional equivalent of a guarantee by parent company of the obligations of AWCC under the Notes. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2026, unless earlier exchanged or repurchased. Upon exchange of the Notes, AWCC will (1) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be exchanged and (2) pay or deliver (or cause to be delivered), cash, shares of parent common stock or a combination of cash and shares of parent common stock, at AWCC’s election, in an amount equal to its exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being exchanged.
Dividends
On July 26, 2023, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.7075 per share of common stock, payable on September 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of August 8, 2023.
2023 Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call

Interested parties may listen to an audio webcast through a link on the company’s Investor Relations website at ir.amwater.com. Presentation slides that will be used in conjunction with the earnings conference call will also be made available online in advance at ir.amwater.com. The company recognizes its website as a key channel of distribution to reach public investors and as a means of disclosing material non-public information to comply with its obligations under SEC Regulation FD.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes a presentation of adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio, a “non-GAAP financial measure” under SEC rules, which excludes from its calculation estimated purchased water revenues and purchased water expenses, reductions for the amortization of EADIT, and the allocable portion of non-O&M support services costs, mainly depreciation and general taxes. These items were excluded from the O&M efficiency ratio calculation as they do not reflect management’s ability to increase the efficiency of the Regulated Businesses. This item is derived from American Water’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure supplements and should be read in conjunction with the company’s GAAP disclosures and should be considered as an addition to, and not a substitute for, any GAAP measure.
Management evaluates its operating performance using this ratio and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to the company’s investors because it directly measures improvement in the operating performance and efficiency of the company’s Regulated Businesses. The company’s adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio (i) is not an accounting measure that is based on GAAP; (ii) is 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 press release.
Set forth in this release is a table that calculates the company’s adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio and reconciles each of the components used to calculate this ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
