Forward-Looking Statements and Other Information

Certain statements in this presentation, including, without limitation, earnings guidance, the outcome of pending or future acquisition activity, American Water’s growth

strategy, the amount and allocation of future capital investments, and estimated revenues from rate cases and other governmental 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. 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 of levels of activity, performance or achievements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon them. 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 press release as a result of the factors discussed in American Water’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

year ended December 31, 2015, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and because of factors such as: the timing and decisions of

governmental and regulatory bodies, including decisions to raise or lower rates; changes in laws, governmental regulations and policies, including environmental, health

and safety, water quality, and public utility regulations and policies, and impacts resulting from the November 2016 U.S., state and local elections; potential costs and

liabilities of American Water for environmental and similar matters resulting from, among other things, the provision of water services to customers in the natural gas

exploration and production market; the outcome of litigation and government action related to the Freedom Industries chemical spill in West Virginia, including matters

pertaining to the binding agreement in principle to settle claims arising from this chemical spill; weather conditions, patterns or events or natural disasters, including

drought or abnormally high rainfall, strong winds, coastal and intercoastal flooding, earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes and tornadoes, and cooler than normal

regulated operations and enter into contracts and other agreements with, or otherwise obtain, new customers in its Market-based Businesses; cost overruns relating to

improvements in or the expansion of its operations; its ability to maintain safe work sites; changes in general economic, political, business and financial market conditions;

in or changes to the credit ratings on its current or future debt that could increase its financing costs or affect its ability to borrow, make payments on debt or pay dividends;

fluctuations in the value of benefit plan assets and liabilities that could increase its financing costs and funding requirements; changes in Federal or state income tax laws,

including tax reform, the availability of tax credits and tax abatement programs, and the ability to utilize its U.S. and state net operating loss carryforwards; migration of

customers into or out of its service territories; the use by municipalities of the power of eminent domain or other authority to condemn its systems; difficulty in obtaining,

or the inability to obtain, insurance at acceptable rates and on acceptable terms and conditions; its ability to retain and attract qualified employees; labor actions, including

work stoppages and strikes; the incurrence of impairment charges related to American Water’s goodwill or other assets; and civil disturbances, terrorist threats or acts, or

public apprehension about future disturbances or terrorist threats or acts. These forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be read together with, the risks

and uncertainties set forth above and the risk factors and other statements included in American Water’s 2015 Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the SEC, and

readers should refer to such risks, uncertainties and risk factors in evaluating such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date

result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the Federal securities laws. Furthermore, it may not be

possible to assess the impact of the foregoing factors on American Water’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

Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This presentation includes adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) both as 2016 non-GAAP earnings guidance and as the 2014 EPS compound annual growth anchor, both of which constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from American Water’s consolidated financial information but are not presented in its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EPS as 2016 non-GAAP earnings guidance is defined as 2016 GAAP EPS, excluding the impact in the third quarter of 2016 of the binding global agreement in principle related to the Freedom Industries chemical spill (the “Settlement”). Adjusted EPS as the 2014 EPS compound annual growth anchor is defined as 2014 GAAP EPS, excluding the impact of costs incurred in 2014 related to the Freedom Industries chemical spill. Adjusted EPS should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure.

Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EPS as described above is useful to American Water’s investors because it provides an indication of American Water’s forecasted baseline performance excluding items that are not considered to be reflective of ongoing results. Management does not intend for Adjusted EPS to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an indicator of

American Water’s forecasted performance. American Water’s definition of Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to the same or similar measures used by other companies, and, accordingly, it may have significant limitations on its use.

This presentation also includes regulated segment O&M efficiency ratios, both historical and forward-looking, which excludes from their calculation for each period presented one or more items, including estimated purchased water revenues and purchased water expenses, the impact of the Freedom Industries chemical spill, the impact of the Settlement, the estimated impact of weather, and the allocable portion of non-O&M support services costs, mainly depreciation and general taxes. These O&M efficiency ratios constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These ratios are derived from American Water’s consolidated financial information but are not presented in its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be read in conjunction with American Water’s GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Management believes that the presentation of O&M efficiency ratios is useful to investors because it provides a means of evaluating American

Water’s operating performance without giving effect to items that are not reflective of management’s ability to increase efficiency of American Water’s regulated operations. In preparing operating plans, budgets and forecasts, and in assessing historical and future performance, management relies, in part, on trends in American Water’s historical results and predictions of future results, exclusive of these items. American Water’s definition of these ratios may not be comparable to the same or similar measures used by other companies, and, accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may have significant limitations on their use. American Water is unable to present a reconciliation of adjustments to the components of its forward-looking 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 the non-GAAP financial measure component of the forward-looking ratio to differ significantly from its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Set forth in this appendix are tables that reconcile Adjusted EPS as 2016 non-GAAP earnings guidance and as the 2014 EPS compound annual growth anchor, each to GAAP EPS, and each of the components of its historical O&M efficiency ratios to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Notes:

CA received D.15-04-007 on April 9, 2015. The decision, addressing the revenue requirement, is retroactive to 1/1/2015. CA has a separate Cost of Capital case which sets the rate of return outside of a general rate proceeding and is still under the decision issued July 12, 2012. The next Cost of Capital application is scheduled to be filed March 31, 2016 with a projected effective date in 2017.

The Rate Base listed is the Company’s view of the Rate Base allowed in the case, the Rate Base was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.

Regulatory capital structure includes cost-free items or tax credit balances at the overall rate of return which lowers the equity percentage as an alternative to the common practice of deducting such items from rate base

The equity ratio listed is the Company’s view of the equity ratio allowed in the case, the actual equity ratio was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.

Information pertains only to the former company of Long Island American Water.

The ROE listed is the Company’s view of the ROE allowed in the case, the ROE was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.

Rates Under Bond were effective July 12, 2012 and received final Order December 12, 2012.
