American Water Works Company, Inc. and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements provided in this report include the accounts of American Water Works, Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at June 30, 2015 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014. The unaudited financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results and other matters. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year, due primarily to the seasonality of the Company’s operations.

The accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relate to continuing operations only unless otherwise indicated.

The Company reclassified previously reported 2014 data to conform to the current presentation for discontinued operations. See Note 3 for additional details on the Company’s discontinued operations.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

The following recently issued accounting standards have been adopted by the Company and have been included in the consolidated results of operations, financial position or footnotes of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements:

Service Concession Arrangements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for an operating entity that enters into a service concession arrangement with a public sector grantor who controls or has the ability to modify or approve the services that the operating entity must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide the services and at what price. The grantor must also control, through ownership or otherwise, any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement. The guidance specifies that an operating entity should not account for the service concession arrangement as a lease. The operating entity should refer instead to other accounting guidance to account for the various aspects of the arrangement. The guidance also specifies that the infrastructure used in such an arrangement should not be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the operating entity. To comply with this guidance, application was required on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements that existed at January 1, 2015. The Company reduced nonutility property and other long-term assets for infrastructure related to service concession arrangements and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $8,395, net of tax, to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2015.

Reporting Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the updated guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. A strategic shift could include a disposal of a major geographical area of operations, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major part of the entity. A component comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity including a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary or an asset group. The update no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations or if there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the Company).

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet required to be adopted by the Company:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption was not permitted. The new guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The FASB voted on July 9, 2015 to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the Company). Additionally in its decision, the FASB decided to permit early adoption of the standard, but not before annualperiods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company is evaluating the new guidance, the best transition method and the impact the new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation with Performance Targets

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for stock-based compensation tied to performance targets. The amendments clarify that a performance target that affects vesting of a share-based payment and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is a performance condition. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value and compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The updated guidance may be applied either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that explicitly requires an entity’s management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity to evaluate, at each interim and annual period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued) and to provide related disclosures, if applicable. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual periods thereafter (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the consolidation analysis for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as well as voting interest entities. The amended guidance (1) modifies the assessment of limited partnerships as VIEs, (2) amends the effect that fees paid to a decision maker or service provider have on the VIE analysis, (3) amends how variable interests held by a reporting entity’s related parties and de facto agents impact its consolidation conclusion, (4) clarifies how to determine whether equity holders have power over an entity and (5) provides a scope exception for registered and similar unregistered money market funds. The guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance on imputation of interest and simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The updated guidance requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability. Such treatment is consistent with the current presentation of debt discounts or premiums. Prior to this amendment, debt issuance costs were reported in the balance sheet as an asset (i.e., a deferred charge), whereas debt discounts and premiums were, and remain, reported as deductions from or additions to the debt itself. Recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments. The effective date is for financial statements covering fiscal years beginning

8

after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amended guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis. Thus, balance sheets for each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying how customers should account for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service and other similar hosting arrangements. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for the fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to arrangements entered into, or materially modified after the effective date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  

Note 3: Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company closed on three acquisitions of various regulated water and wastewater systems for a total aggregate purchase price of $41,175. Assets acquired, principally plant, totaled $65,708, including $1,798 of goodwill, and liabilities assumed totaled $22,301, including $7,707 of contributions in aid of construction and other long-term liabilities of $14,039.

On July 9, 2015, the Company made a strategic acquisition in Water Solutions Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Keystone Clearwater Solutions (“Keystone”), by acquiring a ninety-five percent interest in the entity for approximately $130,000. Keystone is a water service provider that offers a range of water related services to the oil and gas industry primarily in the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The acquisition agreement calls for purchase price adjustments related to working capital, capital expenditures and results of operations through the date of close. The Company also entered into an agreement giving it the right to purchase the remaining membership interests upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or at defined dates of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2018. The owners of the remaining membership interests also have the right to sell their membership interests upon the occurrence of these same triggering events or defined dates. The Company is in the process of determining the purchase price allocation for this acquisition.

Divestitures

In November 2014, the Company completed the sale of Terratec Environmental Ltd (“Terratec”) previously included in the Market-Based Operations segment. A summary of discontinued operations presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,

The Company does not reclassify the amortization of defined benefit pension cost components from accumulated other comprehensive loss directly to net income in its entirety. These accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. (See Note 8)

The amortization of the loss on cash flow hedge is included in interest, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Antidilutive Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for the specific purpose of providing a vehicle to mitigate the dilutive effect of shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and executive compensation activities. This program allows the Company to purchase up to 10,000 shares of its outstanding common stock over an unrestricted period of time to minimize dilution. Under the program, the Company may repurchase its common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The program is being conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and to facilitate the purchases, the Company has also entered into a Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan with a broker.

The shares repurchased are held as treasury shares, at cost, until cancelled or reissued at the discretion of the Company’s management. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 250 shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $13,231 under the program.

Stock Options

In the first six months of 2015, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees under the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The stock options vest ratably over the three-year service period beginning January 1, 2015. These awards have no performance vesting conditions and the grant date fair value is amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

10

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the resulting weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months endedJune 30, 2015:

Dividend yield		2.35	%
Expected volatility		17.64	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.48	%
Expected life (years)		4.4
Exercise price	$	52.75
Grant date fair value per share	$	6.21

Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan have a maximum term of seven years, vest over periods ranging from one to three years, and are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2015, $2,222 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

The table below summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price (per share)		Weighted-Average Remaining Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at January 1, 2015		1,910		$	33.47
Granted		301			52.75
Forfeited or expired		(39	)		44.18
Exercised		(262	)		29.49
Options outstanding at June 30, 2015		1,910		$	36.83		3.4	$	23,757
Exercisable at June 30, 2015		1,358		$	32.16		2.4	$	22,369

The following table summarizes additional information regarding stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	2015		2014
Intrinsic value	$	6,218	$	6,691
Exercise proceeds		7,717		9,075
Income tax benefit		1,928		1,951

Restricted Stock Units

During 2012, the Company granted selected employees an aggregate of 158 restricted stock units with internal performance measures and, separately, certain market thresholds. These awards vested in January 2015. The terms of the grants generally specified that to the extent certain performance goals, comprised of internal measures and market thresholds, were achieved, the restricted stock units would vest; if target performance was surpassed, up to 175% of the target awards would be distributed; and if performance thresholds were not met, the awards would be forfeited. In January 2015, 93 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the vesting of these restricted stock units because performance thresholds were exceeded.  

In June 2015, the Company granted 15 restricted stock units to non-employee directors under the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock units vested on the date of grant; however, distribution of the shares will be made within 30 days of the earlier of (a) 15 months after grant date or (b) the participant’s separation from service. Because these restricted stock units vested on grant date, the total grant date fair value was recorded in operation and maintenance expense on the grant date.

In the first six months of 2015, the Company granted restricted stock units, both with and without performance conditions, to certain employees under the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock units without performance conditions vest ratably over the three-year service period beginning January 1, 2015 and the restricted stock units with performance conditions vest ratably over the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2015 (the “Performance Period”). Vesting of the shares underlying the restricted stock units with performance conditions is contingent upon the achievement of internal performance measures and, separately, certain market thresholds over the Performance Period. The restricted stock units granted with service-only conditions and those with internal performance measures are valued at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock units granted with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

11

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation for restricted stock units with market conditions granted during the six months endedJune 30, 2015:

Expected volatility	14.93	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.07	%
Expected life (years)	3

The grant date fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vest ratably and have market and/or performance and service conditions is amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method. Restricted stock units that have no performance conditions are amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. As of June 30, 2015, $7,314 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining life of 1.4 years.

The table below summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)
Non-vested total at January 1, 2015		516		$	41.46
Granted		150			55.63
Performance share adjustment		93			38.11
Vested		(302	)		39.40
Forfeited		(19	)		44.80
Non-vested total at June 30, 2015		438		$	46.88

The following table summarizes additional information regarding restricted stock units distributed during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	2015		2014
Intrinsic value	$	15,931	$	14,266
Income tax benefit		1,900		1,551

If dividends are paid with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock before the restricted stock units are distributed, the Company credits a liability for the value of the dividends that would have been paid if the restricted stock units were shares of Company common stock. When the restricted stock units are distributed, the Company pays the participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the value of the dividend equivalents accrued. The Company accrued dividend equivalents totaling $423 and $417 to retained earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 5: Long-Term Debt

The following long-term debt was issued during the first six months of 2015:

Company	Type	Rate		Maturity	Amount
Other subsidiaries	Private activity bonds and government    funded debt—fixed rate		1.00%	2022	$	7,748

(a) AWCC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has a support agreement with its parent that, under certain circumstances, is the functional equivalent of a guarantee.

The Company has an interest rate swap to hedge $100,000 of its 6.085% fixed-rate debt maturing 2017. The Company pays variable interest of six-month LIBOR plus 3.422%. The swap is accounted for as a fair-value hedge and matures with the fixed-rate debt in 2017.  

The following table provides a summary of the derivative fair value balance recorded by the Company and the line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which such amount is recorded:

Balance sheet classification	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Regulatory and other long-term assets
Other	$	3,472	$	3,636
Long-term debt
Long-term debt		3,396		3,570

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair-value hedges, the gain or loss on the hedge instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current net income. The Company includes the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item in interest expense as follows:

Note 6: Short-Term Debt

Short-term debt consists of commercial paper borrowings totaling $820,982 (net of discount of $218) at June 30, 2015 and $449,959 (net of discount of $41) at December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, there are $60,000 of borrowings with maturities greater than three months. At December 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding with maturities greater than three months.

On June 30, 2015, the Company, American Water Capital Corp. (“AWCC”), and AWCC’s lenders amended and restated AWCC’s outstanding credit agreement, dated as of October 29, 2012, associated with the revolving credit facility, to extend the expiration date of the facility from October 2018 to June 2020 and, subject to the terms of the credit agreement, to allow AWCC to request to extend further the term of the credit facility for up to two one-year periods. The financial covenants with respect to the credit facility remained unchanged.

Note 7: Income Taxes

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 39.5% compared to 39.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, excluding various discrete items.

In addition, the Company contributed $13,264 for the funding of its other postretirement plans in the first six months of 2015 and expects to contribute $13,263 during the balance of 2015.

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is routinely involved in legal actions incident to the normal conduct of its business. At June 30, 2015, the Company has accrued approximately $3,800 of probable loss contingencies and has estimated that the maximum amount of losses associated with reasonably possible loss contingencies is $29,600. For certain matters, the Company is unable to estimate possible losses. The Company believes that damages or settlements recovered by plaintiffs in such claims or actions, if any, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On January 9, 2014, a chemical storage tank owned by Freedom Industries, Inc. leaked two substances used for processing coal, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or MCHM, and PPH/DiPPH, a mix of polyglycol ethers, into the Elk River near the West Virginia-American Water Company (“WVAWC”) treatment plant intake in Charleston, West Virginia. To date, 58 lawsuits have been filed against WVAWC with respect to this matter in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia or West Virginia Circuit Courts in Kanawha, Boone and Putnam counties. Fifty-two of the state court cases naming WVAWC, and one case naming both WVAWC and American Water Works Service Company, Inc. (“AWWSC,” and together with WVAWC and the Company, the “American Water Defendants”) were removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, but are subject to motions to remand the cases back to the state courts and have been consolidated for the sole purpose of resolving venue issues. Four of the cases pending before the federal district court were consolidated for purposes of discovery, and an amended consolidated complaint for those cases was filed on December 9, 2014 by several plaintiffs who allegedly suffered economic losses, loss of use of property and tap water or other specified adverse consequences as a result of the Freedom Industries spill, on behalf of a purported class of all persons and businesses supplied with, using, or exposed to water contaminated with Crude MCHM

14

and provided by WVAWC in Logan, Clay, Lincoln, Roane, Jackson, Boone, Putnam, and Kanawha Counties and the Culloden area of Cabell County, West Virginia as of January 9, 2014. The amended consolidated complaint names several individuals and corporate entities as defendants, including the American Water Defendants. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for alleged business or economic losses; unspecified damages or a mechanism for recovery to address a variety or alleged costs, loss of use of property, personal injury and other consequences allegedly suffered by purported class members; punitive damages and certain additional relief, including the establishment of a medical monitoring program to protect the purported class members from an alleged increased risk of contracting serious latent disease.

On April 9, 2015, the court in the Federal action denied a motion to dismiss all claims against the Company for lack of personal jurisdiction. A separate motion to dismiss filed by AWWSC and WVAWC (and joined by the Company) asserting various legal defenses in the Federal action was resolved by the court on June 3, 2015. The court dismissed three causes of action but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining causes of actions and allowed the plaintiffs to continue to pursue the various claims for damages alleged in their amended consolidated complaint. On July 6, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking certification of a class defined to include persons who resided in dwellings served by WVAWC’s Kanawha Valley Treatment Plant (“KVTP”) on January 9, 2014, persons who owned businesses served by the KVTP on January 9, 2014, and hourly employees who worked for such businesses. The plaintiffs seek a class-wide determination of liability against the American Water Defendants, among others, and of damages to the three groups of plaintiffs as a result of the “Do Not Use” order that was issued after the Freedom Industries spill. This motion remains pending. On July 22, 2015, the court directed the parties to the Federal action to attend mediation scheduled for September 30, 2015. It is expected that the plaintiffs in the 53 state court cases, which were removed to federal court and are presently subject to stayed motions to remand to state court, will also participate in this mediation. The Company believes that the causes of action asserted against the American Water Defendants in the lawsuits described above are without merit and continues to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings.

Note 10: Environmental Matters

The Company’s water and wastewater operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements relating to environmental protection, and as such, the Company periodically becomes subject to environmental claims in the normal course of business. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations or provide a future benefit are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Remediation costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations are accrued, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that these costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated. Remediation costs accrued amounted to $1,100 and $2,200 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The accrual relates to a conservation agreement entered into by a subsidiary of the Company with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) requiring the Company to, among other provisions, implement certain measures to protect the steelhead trout and its habitat in the Carmel River watershed in the state of California. The Company has agreed to pay $1,100 annually from 2010 through 2016. The Company pursues recovery of incurred costs through all appropriate means, including regulatory recovery through customer rates. The Company’s regulatory assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include $7,794 and $7,791, respectively, related to the NOAA agreement.

Note 11: Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security. The Company has participating securities related to restricted stock units, granted under the 2007 Plan, that earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with common shares. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities.

(a) Earnings per share amounts are computed independently for income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total per-share amount for net income.

Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents related to the restricted stock units, stock options, and employee stock purchase plan. The dilutive effect of the common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method and expected proceeds on vesting of the restricted stock units, exercise of the stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding for calculating diluted earnings per share:

Note 12: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Current assets and current liabilities—The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for current assets and current liabilities, including revolving credit debt, due to the short-term maturities and variable interest rates, approximate their fair values.

Preferred stock with mandatory redemption requirements and long-term debt—The fair values of preferred stock with mandatory redemption requirements and long-term debt are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs that are used to value each instrument. The fair value of long-term debt classified as Level 1 is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 instruments are valued using observable inputs and Level 3 instruments are valued using observable and unobservable inputs. The fair values of instruments classified as Level 2 and 3 are determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current market rates. As a majority of the Company’s debts do not trade in active markets, the Company calculated a base yield curve using a risk-free rate (a U.S. Treasury securities yield curve) plus a credit spread that is based on the following two factors: an average of the Company’s own publicly-traded debt securities

17

and the current market rates for U.S. Utility debt securities with a bond credit rating of A-. The Company used these yield curve assumptions to derive a base yield for the Level 2 and Level 3 securities. Additionally, the Company adjusted the base yield for specific features of the debt securities including call features, coupon tax treatment and collateral for the Level 3 instruments.

The carrying amounts, including fair value adjustments previously recognized in acquisition purchase accounting and a fair value adjustment related to the Company’s interest rate swap fair value hedge (which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy), and fair values of the financial instruments are as follows:

			At Fair Value as of June 30, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Preferred stock with mandatory redemption    requirements	$	15,941	$	—	$	—	$	20,195	$	20,195
Long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations)		5,492,681		2,814,037		1,460,219		2,010,748		6,285,004
			At Fair Value as of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Preferred stock with mandatory redemption    requirements	$	17,151	$	—	$	—	$	22,167	$	22,167
Long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations)		5,491,341		2,874,622		1,474,708		2,055,058		6,404,388

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

Total net assets	$	49,340	$	2,610	$	—	$	51,950

Restricted funds—The Company’s restricted funds primarily represent proceeds received from financings for the construction and capital improvement of facilities and from customers for future services under operations and maintenance projects. The proceeds

18

of these financings are held in escrow until the designated expenditures are incurred. Also included in restricted funds above is $7,177 and $22,366 of money market funds held in trust for active employee benefits, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which the Company includes in other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rabbi trust investments—The Company’s rabbi trust investments consist primarily of equity and fixed income indexed funds from which supplemental executive retirement plan benefits and deferred compensation obligations can be paid. The Company includes these assets in other long-term assets.

Deposits—Deposits include escrow funds and certain other deposits held in trust. The Company includes cash deposits in other current assets.

Deferred compensation obligations—The Company’s deferred compensation plans allow participants to defer certain cash compensation into notional investment accounts. The Company includes such plans in other long-term liabilities. The value of the Company’s deferred compensation obligations is based on the market value of the participants’ notional investment accounts. The notional investments are comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices.

Mark-to-market derivative asset and liability—The Company utilizes fixed-to-floating interest-rate swaps, typically designated as fair-value hedges, to achieve a targeted level of variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt. The Company also employs derivative financial instruments in the form of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, classified as economic hedges, in order to fix the interest cost on some of its variable-rate debt. The Company uses a calculation of future cash inflows and estimated future outflows, which are discounted, to determine the current fair value. Additional inputs to the present value calculation include the contract terms, counterparty credit risk, interest rates and market volatility.

General

American Water Works Company, Inc. (“American Water” or the “Company”) is the largest investor-owned United States water and wastewater utility company, as measured both by operating revenue and population served. Our primary business involves the ownership of water and wastewater utilities that provide water and wastewater services to residential, commercial, industrial and other customers. These utilities are generally subject to economic regulation by state regulatory agencies in the states in which they operate. We report the financial results of these utilities in our Regulated Businesses segment. We also provide other services through businesses that are not subject to economic regulation by state regulatory agencies. We report the results of these businesses in our Market-Based Operations segment. For further description of our businesses see Part I, Item 1, “Business,” in our Form 10-K.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K.

Overview

Financial Results

Highlights of our operating results per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to same periods during 2014 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Income from continuing operations	$	0.68	$	0.61	$	1.13	$	1.00
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	0.00	$	0.00	$	0.00	$	(0.01	)
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.68	$	0.61	$	1.13	$	0.99

Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations increased 7 cents and 13 cents per diluted share for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Excluding the costs related to the Freedom Industries chemical spill in West Virginia of 2 cents and 4 cents per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, increased 5 cents and 9 cents per diluted share, respectively, mainly due to continued revenue growth in our Regulated Businesses and Market-Based Operations segments and lower operating and maintenance expenses in our Regulated Businesses segment. Also, adding to the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was the finalization of our California general rate case.

Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we sold our Terratec line of business, which was part of our Market-Based Operations segment. The after-tax loss from discontinued operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 includes the operating results of the entity prior to the sale.

Total Infrastructure charges	$	5.8	$	21.1

(a) The Office of the Public Counsel filed an appeal notice claiming St. Louis County no longer meets the required population requirement for an infrastructure charge.

(b) Rates of $4.9 million and $1.0 million became effective January 1, 2015 and February 1, 2015, respectively.

On April 9, 2015, our California general rate case settlement was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (the “CPUC”), with rates retroactive to January 1, 2015. The settlement, which also allowed for recovery of prior expenditures incurred related to our business transformation project and authorized a sharing mechanism for prior contamination proceeds that were previously deferred, was reflected in 2015 first quarter results.

On April 30, 2015, our West Virginia subsidiary filed a general rate case requesting additional annualized water and wastewater revenue of approximately $35.6 million.

Following the close of the second quarter, additional annualized revenue of $4.6 million resulting from infrastructure charges in our Pennsylvania subsidiary became effective on July 1, 2015. Also, additional annualized revenue of $0.2 million resulting from the approval of our general wastewater rate case in Kentucky became effective on July 2, 2015.

In July 2015, our California subsidiary filed an application with the CPUC to request changes to the present rate design and the emergency conservation and rationing plan for water customers in certain areas within its Monterey County service district. If approved, the proposed changes would allow (i) recovery in authorized cost of service of existing under-collections of the net water revenue adjustment mechanism/ modified cost balancing account (“WRAM/MCBA”) balance, currently amounting to approximately $45 million, over 20 years earning a pretax rate of 8.41%; (ii) an annual consumption true-up mechanism and rate design that provide for more timely collection of the cost of service; and (iii) modification of existing conservation and rationing plans. We expect a CPUC decision in mid to late 2016.

On July 31, 2015, our Missouri subsidiary filed a general rate case requesting additional annualized revenue of approximately $25.2 million.

As of July 31, 2015, we are awaiting final general rate case orders in three states, requesting additional annualized revenue of $127.0 million. There is no assurance that all or any portion of these requests will be granted.

Focusing on Central Themes

For 2015, our focus is anchored on five central themes: 1) Customers, 2) Safety, 3) People, 4) Growth and 5) Operational Efficiency. We will continue our focus on operating our business responsibly and managing our operating and capital costs in a

22

manner that benefits our customers and produces value for our shareholders. Additionally, we will continue our ongoing strategy that ensures a safe workplace for our employees, emphasizes public safety for our customers, and leverages our people resources, processes and technology innovation to make our business more effective and efficient.The progress that we have made in the first sixmonths of 2015 with respect to growth and improvement in our operational efficiency ratio is described below.

Growth - Infrastructure improvements, acquisitions and strategic investments

During the first half of 2015, we made capital investments of approximately $514.9 million, consisting of approximately $473.6 million to improve infrastructure in our Regulated Businesses and the remaining $41.3 million for acquisitions of regulated operations. For the full-year of 2015, our total capital investment is expected to be in the range of $1.2 to $1.3 billion, most of which will be allocated to improving infrastructure in our Regulated Businesses with an additional $200 million allocated for acquisitions and strategic investments.

On April 30, 2015, we announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Environmental Disposal Corporation (“EDC”), which provides wastewater services to more than 5,300 customer accounts located in New Jersey. The acquisition is pending approval by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

On May 21, 2015, upon the approval of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, we completed our acquisition of the Borough of Haddonfield’s water and wastewater system and on May 22, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the City of Arnold, Missouri’s wastewater system. These acquisitions added approximately 4,500 water and 13,800 wastewater customers to our regulated operations.

On July 9, 2015, we made a strategic acquisition in Water Solutions Holdings, LLC, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Keystone Clearwater Solutions (“Keystone”), by acquiring a ninety-five percent interest in the entity with a purchase price of approximately $130 million. Keystone is a water service provider that offers a range of water-related services to the oil and gas industry primarily in the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.

Technology and Operational Efficiency - Continuing Improvement in O&M Efficiency Ratio for our Regulated Businesses

We continued to improve on our operation and maintenance (“O&M”) efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure). Our O&M efficiency ratio for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was 35.9%, compared to 37.7% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. The improvement in the 2015 O&M efficiency ratio over this period was principally attributable to an increase in Regulated Businesses’ revenue and a decrease in the O&M expenses.

We evaluate our operating performance using this measure because management believes it is a direct measure of the efficiency of our Regulated Businesses’ operations. This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our operating performance. The O&M efficiency ratio is not a measure defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ operating measures and should not be used in place of the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

Our O&M efficiency ratio is defined as our regulated operation and maintenance expense divided by regulated operating revenues, where both O&M expense and operating revenues are adjusted to eliminate purchased water expense. We also excluded from operating revenues and O&M expenses the estimated impact from changes in consumption as a result of weather and the West Virginia Freedom Industries chemical spill. Additionally, from the O&M expenses, we exclude the allocable portion of non-O&M support services cost, mainly depreciation and general taxes that are reflected in the Regulated Businesses segment as O&M costs but for consolidated financial reporting purposes are categorized within other line items in the Statement of Operations. We exclude these items from the calculation as we believe such items are not reflective of management’s ability to increase efficiency of the Company’s regulated operations.

23

The following table provides the calculation and reconciliation that compares O&M and operating revenues, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to those amounts utilized in the calculation of our O&M efficiency ratio for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Operating revenues. Consolidated operating revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $27.3 million, or 3.6%, compared to the same quarter last year. Revenues in our Market-Based Operations segment rose $19.0 million, largely driven by incremental revenue from our military contracts due to increased construction type projects and the addition of two military bases in

25

the second half of 2014 coupled with contract growth in our Homeowner Services Group (“HOS”). Revenues in ourRegulated Businesses segment rose $8.7 millionmainly attributable to rate increases, infrastructure charges and increased demand, partially offset by decreasedsurcharges and balancing accounts in 2015.For further information, see the respective “Operating Revenues” discussions within the “Segment Results.”

Operation and maintenance. Consolidated O&M decreased by $1.2 million, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease resulted from continued cost management; lower costs associated with the Freedom Industries chemical spill; a reduction in uncollectible expense; and reduced employee-related, condemnation and production costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $15.3 million in O&M costs associated with our Market-Based Operations segment, principally due to increased activity under our military contracts, as noted in the operating revenue discussion above. For further information on the changes in our Regulated Businesses and Market-Based Operations segments’ O&M, see the respective “Operation and Maintenance” discussions within the “Segment Results” section below.  

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.2 million, or 3.1%, primarily as a result of additional utility plant placed in service.  

General Taxes. General taxes increased $3.4 million, or 6.0%, primarily due higher property tax assessments for various subsidiaries in our Regulated Businesses segment.

Other income (expenses). Other expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 2.3%, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in interest expense, mainly as a result of a $500 million debt issuance in the third quarter of 2014.

Provision for income taxes. Our consolidated provision for income taxes increased $8.2 million, or 11.4%, to $80.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to the increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 39.6%.  

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.As previously noted, the financial results of our Terratec line of business previously reported in our Market-Based Operations segment were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The disposition of Terratec was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, represents the operating results of Terratec for the period.  

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Operating revenues. Consolidated operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $46.4 million, or 3.2%, compared to the same period last year. Revenues in our Market-Based Operations segment rose $30.6 million, largely driven by incremental revenue from our military contracts due to increased construction type projects and the addition of two military bases in the second half of 2014 coupled with contract growth in our HOS. Revenues in our Regulated Businesses segment rose $16.5 million mainly attributable to rate increases, infrastructure charges and increased demand, partially offset by decreased surcharges and balancing accounts in 2015. For further information, see the respective “Operating Revenues” discussions within the “Segment Results” section below.

Operation and maintenance. Consolidated O&M decreased by $2.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease was attributable to lower O&M costs in our Regulated Businesses segment of $25.3 million from continued cost management, lower production and condemnation costs, and authorized recovery of costs as a result of the finalization of our California general rate case in the first quarter of 2015. Also, contributing to lower costs in our Regulated Businesses was the inclusion in 2014 of costs associated with the Freedom Industries chemical spill of $9.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $27.1 million in O&M costs in our Market-Based Operations segment, principally due to increased activity under our military contracts, as noted in the operating revenue discussion above. For further information on the changes in our Regulated Businesses and Market-Based Operations segments’ O&M, see the respective “Operation and Maintenance” discussions within the “Segment Results” section below.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.7 million, or 2.2%, primarily as a result of additional utility plant placed in service.  

General Taxes. General taxes increased $6.4 million, or 5.5%, primarily due to a true-up of business and occupation taxes and higher property tax assessments for various subsidiaries in our Regulated Businesses segment.

Other income (expenses). Other expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease is primarily due to authorization through the California rate case of a sharing mechanism between shareholders and

26

customers for prior chemical contamination settlement proceeds of $4.1 million that were previously deferred and the recovery of the allowance for borrowed funds used during construction on the authorized business transformation costs. These decreases were offset by incremental interest expense principally due to the $500 million debt issuance in the third quarter of 2014.

Provision for income taxes. Our consolidated provision for income taxes increased $16.4 million, or 14.0%, to $134.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to the increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 39.8% and 39.6%, respectively.  

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.As previously noted, the financial results of our Terratec line of business previously reported in our Market-Based Operations segment were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The disposition of Terratec was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, represents the operating results of Terratec for the period.  

Segment Results

We have two reportable segments: the Regulated Businesses and the Market-Based Operations Segments. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources based on several factors, with the primary measure being income before income taxes.

Regulated Businesses Segment

The following table summarizes certain financial information for our Regulated Businesses Segment for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,							For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)			2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)

Income from continuing operations before    income taxes		198,756		182,418		16,338			332,898		297,446		35,452

Operating revenues. Our primary business involves the ownership of water and wastewater utilities that provide services to residential, commercial, industrial and other customers. This business generally is subject to state economic regulation and our results of operations are impacted significantly by rates authorized by the state regulatory commissions in the states in which we operate.

Operating revenues increased by $8.7 million, or 1.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. This increase is principally due to incremental revenues of approximately $8.6 million, attributable to rate increases, including infrastructure charges, obtained through rate authorizations for a number of our operating companies. Additionally, operating revenues increased by $2.7 million, due to higher demand for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2014. Partially offsetting these increases was a $3.6 million decrease in 2015 revenues attributable to the amortization of balancing accounts.

Operating revenues increased by $16.5 million, or 1.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to incremental revenues of approximately $17.5 million resulting from rate increases, including the infrastructure charges for a number of our operating companies. Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction in revenues from the amortization of balancing accounts in 2015 compared to 2014 of approximately $4.1 million.

Water Services – Consistent with the above discussion, water service operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $648.5 million, a $9.2 million increase, or 1.4%, over the same period of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, these revenues increased $14.3 million, or 1.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. As described above, the increases for both the three and six months are primarily due to rate increases and infrastructure charges partially offset by a reduction in revenues attributable to the amortization of balancing accounts. Also, contributing to the incremental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year was higher demand. Also, it should be noted that the mix between billed and unbilled water revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 has changed. This change is principally the result of addressing the majority of delayed customer billings that existed at December 31, 2013, by billing those customers in the first quarter of 2014. The delayed billings resulted from the implementation of our Customer Information System (“CIS”) in 2013.

Wastewater services – Our subsidiaries provide wastewater services in eleven states. Revenues from these services increased $0.9 million, or 3.8%, and $1.3 million, or 2.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 as the result of adding additional systems through acquisitions.

28

Other revenues – Other revenues, which include reconnection charges, initial application service fees, certain rental revenues, revenue collection services for others and other similar items,decreased $1.4 million, or 9.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease is principally due to 2014 including $2.4 million in insurance proceeds for business interruption as a result of Hurricane Sandy. The six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.9 million, or 3.6%, due to incremental revenues for late payment fees and reconnection fees offset by the insurance proceeds mentioned above.

Operation and maintenance expense. Operation and maintenance expense decreased $13.8 million, or 4.9%, and $25.3 million, or 4.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same period in 2014.

The following table provides information regarding operation and maintenance expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, by major expense category:

Production costs decreased by $1.9 million, or 2.6%, and $7.4 million, or 5.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for the second quarter was primarily due to a reduction in purchased water costs principally from lower usage in our California subsidiary. Purchased water and fuel and power costs in California are recorded in a balancing account and therefore do not impact earnings. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to decreases in purchased water as discussed above and fuel and power expenses principally attributable to incremental costs in 2014 due to harsher weather conditions in certain states and lower fuel and natural gas prices in 2015.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 salaries and wages decreased as a result of the reduction in headcount and severance costs associated with the restructuring of certain organizational functions in 2014 as well as higher capitalization rates in 2015. Pension and postretirement benefit costs (which is included in group insurance expenses) increased principally due to the adoption of new mortality assumptions based on the Society of Actuaries RP 2014 mortality table and a decrease in the discount rate assumptions, which resulted in increased plan obligations.

Operating supplies and services include expenses for office operation, legal and professional services, transportation expenses, and information systems and other office equipment rental charges. Overall these costs decreased $5.1 million, or 9.4%, and $15.1 million, or 13.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to incremental costs in 2014 associated with the Freedom Industries chemical spill in West Virginia and increased condemnation-related costs. Also, contributing to the decrease were lower fuel prices and leased vehicle costs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2015 also included a $3.2 million adjustment in the first quarter of 2015 attributable to the recovery of previously expensed business transformation costs as a result of the finalization of our California rate case.

Maintenance materials and supplies, which include preventive maintenance and emergency repair costs, decreased $1.1 million, or 6.2%, and $2.1 million, or 5.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The decrease for both the three and six months is primarily due to decreases in paving, backfilling and other repair costs. These costs were higher in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2015 due to higher than normal main breaks as a result of the abnormally severe winter weather conditions experienced in certain states.

Customer billing and accounting expenses, which include uncollectible accounts expense, postage and other customer related expenses, decreased by $2.5 million, or 15.5%, and $0.6 million, or 2.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014, and is principally attributable to improvements in our uncollectible expense.

Other operation and maintenance expense includes casualty and liability insurance premiums and regulatory costs. The decrease in these costs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year periods was primarily driven by 2014 claims costs associated with the Freedom Industries chemical spill in West Virginia. The premium adjustments are based upon current facts and circumstances with respect to outstanding claims and are subject to change as the claims mature.

Operating expenses. The decrease in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is principally due to the decrease in operation and maintenance expense explained above offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense from additional utility plant placed in service and incremental general taxes mainly due to increased property and gross receipt taxes for certain of our operating companies.

Operating revenues. Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $19.0 million and $30.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014, as a result of incremental revenues in our Military Services Group (“Military”) and HOS lines of business partially offset by lower Contract Operations Group (“Contract Operations”) revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Military revenue increased $15.8 million and $24.5 million, respectively. These increases are primarily related to additional revenues from construction project activities associated with our military contracts and the addition of Hill Air Force Base and Picatinny Arsenal in the second half of 2014. HOS revenues increased $3.3 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The incremental revenues in HOS are primarily the result of contract growth, mainly through our New York City contracts, as well as expansion into other geographic areas.

Operation and maintenance. Operation and maintenance expense increased $15.3 million, or 23.4%, and $27.1 million, or 21.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding categories of operation and maintenance expense for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,									For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)		Percentage			2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
Production costs	$	8,829	$	8,593	$	236		2.7	%	$	17,916	$	17,861	$	55			0.3	%
Employee-related costs		17,162		15,356		1,806		11.8	%		32,835		29,076		3,759			12.9	%
Operating supplies and services		39,952		29,248		10,704		36.6	%		72,977		54,682		18,295			33.5	%
Maintenance materials and supplies		13,150		10,953		2,197		20.1	%		27,437		22,310		5,127			23.0	%
Other		1,494		1,164		330		28.4	%		2,955		3,130		(175	)		(5.6	%)
Total	$	80,587	$	65,314	$	15,273		23.4	%	$	154,120	$	127,059	$	27,061			21.3	%

As noted in the table above, the primary factor contributing to the overall increase was operating supplies and services. This increase corresponds with the incremental revenues recognized in the Market-Based Operations segment and is mainly attributable to growth in construction project activities under our military contracts, as well as the addition of the two new military contracts discussed above. In addition, the increase in maintenance materials and supplies was primarily due to higher HOS claim costs, which are associated with new contracts as well as an increase in the frequency and severity of the claims.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For a general overview of our sources and uses of capital resources, see the introductory discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources,” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K.

We rely on our revolving credit facility, the capital markets and our cash flows from operations to fulfill our short-term liquidity needs, to issue letters of credit and to support our commercial paper program. We fund liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital and other financial commitments through cash flows from operations, public and private debt offerings, commercial paper markets and, to the extent necessary, our revolving credit facility. We regularly evaluate the capital markets and closely monitor the financial condition of the financial institutions with contractual commitments in the revolving credit facility.

31

In order to meet our short-term liquidity needs, we, through AWCC, our wholly owned financing subsidiary, issue commercial paper, which is supported by an unsecured revolving credit facility. Indebtedness under the credit facility is considered “debt” for purposes of a support agreement between American Water and AWCC, which serves as a functional equivalent of a guarantee by American Water of AWCC’s payment obligations under the credit facility. The revolving credit facility is also used, to a limited extent, to support our issuance of letters of credit and, from time to time, for direct borrowings.

On June 30, 2015, we, AWCC and the lenders amended and restated our outstanding credit agreement, dated as of October 29, 2012, associated with the revolving credit facility, to extend the expiration date of the facility from October 2018 to June 2020 and to allow AWCC to request to extend further the term of the credit facility for up to two one-year periods. An extension request must satisfy certain conditions and receive approval of the lenders, as set forth in the agreement. The financial covenants with respect to the credit facility remained unchanged.

As of June 30, 2015, AWCC had no outstanding borrowings and $40.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, AWCC had $1.2 billion available under the credit facility to fulfill our short-term liquidity needs, to issue letters of credit and support $821.0 million in outstanding commercial paper. We can provide no assurances that the lenders will meet their existing commitments to AWCC under the credit facility or that we will be able to access the commercial paper or loan markets in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all.

As noted in our Form 10-K, in February 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an anti-dilutive common stock repurchase program for the specific purpose of providing a vehicle to mitigate the dilutive effect of shares issued through our dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and executive compensation programs. This program allows us to purchase up to 10 million shares of our common stock over an unrestricted period of time. We may effect repurchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. We commenced making purchases under this program in April 2015, and through June 30, 2015, we have repurchased an aggregate of 250 thousand shares.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of water and wastewater services and, due to the seasonality of demand, are generally greater during the third quarter of each fiscal year. Cash flows from continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $418.0 million compared to $450.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The following table provides a summary of the major items affecting our cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(In thousands)
Net income	$	203,118		$	177,422
Add (subtract):
Non-cash activities (1)		368,586			371,045
Changes in working capital (2)		(128,245	)		(76,419	)
Pension and postretirement healthcare contributions		(25,464	)		(21,433	)
Net cash flows provided by operations	$	417,995		$	450,615

(1) Includes depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and amortization of deferred investment tax credits, provision for losses on accounts receivable, allowance for other funds used during construction, gain on asset dispositions and purchases, pension and non-pension postretirement benefits expense and other non-cash items. Details of each component can be found in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(2) Changes in working capital include changes to receivables and unbilled revenues, taxes accrued (including income taxes), accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities, net.

The decrease in cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, reflects changes in working capital and an increase in pension and postretirement benefit contributions of $4.0 million. The decrease in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year is the result of higher cash collections for our Regulated Businesses in the first quarter of 2014, as we delayed some 2013 billings to the first quarter of 2014 when we implemented our new customer information system in 2013, the timing of accounts payable and an increase in accrued dividends and insurance.

32

Due to the continued severe drought in California, in April 2015, the Governor of California mandated water usage restrictionsintended to reduce the state’s overall water usage by 25% compared with 2013 levels. As a result of our California subsidiary’s WRAM, which has the effect of reducing the adverse financial impact on us of our California customers’ conservation efforts, such restrictions should not have a significant impact on our result of operations. However, cash flows from operations could be affected as the surcharges or surcredits we recognize on these accounts are collected from or refunded to customers generally over periods ranging from twelve to thirty-six months. The impact of the WRAM on cash flows for the first six months of 2015 was approximately $10 million.

Our working capital needs are primarily limited to funding the increase in our customer accounts receivable and unbilled revenues which is mainly associated with the revenue increase as a result of rate increases in our Regulated Businesses segment.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The following table provides information regarding cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(In thousands)
Net capital expenditures	$	(478,821	)	$	(401,781	)
Proceeds from sale of assets		4,780			665
Acquisitions and related costs		(41,244	)		(2,869	)
Other investing activities, net (1)		(51,890	)		(34,189	)
Net cash flows used in investing activities	$	(567,175	)	$	(438,174	)

(1) Includes removal costs from property, plant and equipment retirements, net and net funds restricted.

The increase in capital expenditures is principally due to less harsh winter conditions in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 in certain of our Regulated Businesses, which allowed us to increase our capital improvements during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The increase in cash utilized for acquisitions during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is principally due to the purchase of two regulated systems, the Borough of Haddonfield, New Jersey’s water and wastewater systems and the City of Arnold, Missouri’s wastewater system.

We are currently considering a plan to construct a new corporate headquarters to consolidate our support services and certain of our Market-Based Operations employees within a single location. We are considering several alternatives for the location of the new headquarters. The cost of construction, which would take several years to complete, is currently estimated to be up to $165 million, depending on the location selected and exclusive of any tax incentives that the Company may receive.

33

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The following table provides information regarding cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(In thousands)
Proceeds from long-term debt	$	7,748		$	—
Repayments of long-term debt		(5,694	)		(4,565	)
Proceeds from short-term borrowings		371,023			72,131
Dividends paid		(116,649	)		(105,390	)
Other financing activities, net (1)		14,424			30,552
Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	$	270,852		$	(7,272	)

(1) Includes proceeds from issuance of common stock under various employee stock plans and our dividend reinvestment plan, advances and contributions for construction, net of refunds, debt issuance costs, share repurchase and tax benefits realized from equity compensation.

Our financing activities, primarily focused on funding construction expenditures, include the issuance of long-term and short-term debt, primarily through AWCC. We intend to access the capital markets on a regular basis, subject to market and general economic conditions. In addition, new infrastructure may be financed with customer advances (net of refunds) and contributions in aid of construction.

Based on the liquidity and capital needs of American Water and our regulated subsidiaries, AWCC borrows funds on a short-term basis and through intercompany loans, provides the proceeds of those borrowings to the regulated subsidiaries and American Water. The regulated subsidiaries and American Water are obligated to pay to AWCC their respective portion of AWCC’s debt service obligations. Because American Water borrowings are not a source of capital for the Company’s regulated subsidiaries, the Company is not able to recover the interest charges on its debt through regulated water and wastewater rates.

On May 7, 2015, American Water and AWCC filed with the SEC a universal shelf registration statement that enables us to meet our capital needs through the offer and sale to the public from time to time of an unlimited amount of various types of securities, including American Water common stock, preferred stock and other equity securities and AWCC debt securities, all subject to market conditions and demand, general economic conditions, and as applicable, rating status. The shelf registration will expire in May 2018.

We intend to utilize commercial paper for short-term liquidity, as commercial paper borrowings have historically been a more flexible and lower cost option. However, we are able to utilize our credit facility to the extent necessary to complement our borrowings in the commercial paper market. In the event of disruptions in the money market sector of the debt capital markets or in response to economic conditions generally, borrowings under our revolving credit facility may be more efficient and a lower cost alternative to commercial paper.

The following long-term debt was issued during the first six months of 2015:

Company	Type	Rate		Maturity	Amount (In thousands)
Other subsidiaries	Private activity bonds and government    funded debt—fixed rate		1.00%	2022	$	7,748

The following long-term debt was retired through sinking fund provisions or payment at maturity during the first six months of 2015:

Company	Type	Rate		Maturity	Amount (In thousands)
American Water Capital Corp.	Private activity bonds and government      funded debt—fixed rate	1.79%-2.90%		2021-2031	$	807
Other subsidiaries	Private activity bonds and government      funded debt—fixed rate	0.00%-5.30%		2015-2041		3,671
Other subsidiaries	Mandatorily redeemable preferred stock		8.49%	2036		1,200
Other subsidiaries	Capital lease payments		12.23%	2026		16
Total retirements and redemptions					$	5,694

34

From time to time, and as market conditions warrant, we may engage in additional long-term debt retirements via tender offers, open market repurchases or other transactions.

Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

Short-term debt, consisting of commercial paper, net of discount, amounted to $821.0 million at June 30, 2015.

The following table provides information as of June 30, 2015 regarding letters of credit sub-limits under our revolving credit facility and available funds under the revolving credit facility, as well as outstanding amounts of commercial paper and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

	Credit Facility Commitment		Available Credit Facility Capacity		Letter of Credit Sub-limit		Available Letter of Credit Capacity		Outstanding Commercial Paper (Net of Discount)		Credit Line Borrowings
	(In thousands)
June 30, 2015	$	1,250,000	$	1,209,615	$	150,000	$	109,615	$	820,982	$	—

The weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately 0.27% and 0.29%, respectively, and 0.51% and 0.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  

Capital Structure

The following table provides information regarding our capital structure for the periods presented:

	At			At
	June 30,			December 31,
	2015			2014
Total common stockholders' equity		44	%		45	%
Long-term debt and redeemable preferred stock at redemption value		48	%		50	%
Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt		8	%		5	%
		100	%		100	%

Debt Covenants

Our debt agreements contain financial and non-financial covenants. To the extent that we are not in compliance with these covenants, such an event may create an event of default under the debt agreement and we, or our subsidiaries, may be restricted in the ability to pay dividends, issue new debt or access our revolving credit facility. For two of our smaller operating companies, we have informed our counterparties that we will provide only unaudited financial information at the subsidiary level, which resulted in technical non-compliance with certain of their reporting requirements under debt agreements. We do not believe this event will materially impact us. Our long-term debt indentures also contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from issuing debt secured by the Company’s assets, subject to certain exceptions. Our failure to comply with any of these covenants could accelerate repayment obligations.

Certain long-term notes and the revolving credit facility require us to maintain a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated capitalization (as defined in the relevant documents) of not more than 0.70 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2015, our ratio was 0.56 to 1.00 and therefore we were in compliance with the covenant.

Security Ratings

Our access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and respective financing costs in those markets, may be directly affected by our securities ratings. We primarily access the debt capital markets, including the commercial paper market, through AWCC. However, we have also issued debt through our regulated subsidiaries, primarily in the form of tax exempt securities or borrowings under state revolving funds, to lower our overall cost of debt.

35

The following table shows the Company’s securities ratings as ofJune 30, 2015:

Securities	Moody’s Investors Service		Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service
Senior unsecured debt		Baa1		A
Commercial paper		P2		A-1

On May 7, 2015, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) raised our corporate credit rating on AWCC and American Water from A- to A and our commercial paper rating from A-2 to A-1 on American Water and AWCC. S&P also confirmed its stable rating outlook.

On April 22, 2015, Moody’s reaffirmed our Baa1 corporate credit rating for American Water and AWCC and AWCC’s P2 commercial paper rating. At the same time, Moody’s revised its rating outlook for American Water and AWCC to positive from stable.

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Security ratings are highly dependent upon our ability to generate cash flows in an amount sufficient to service our debt and meet our investment plans. We can provide no assurances that our ability to generate cash flows is sufficient to maintain our existing ratings. None of our borrowings are subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of these security ratings, although such a downgrading could increase fees and interest charges under our credit facility.

As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into contracts for the purchase and sale of water, energy, fuels and other services. These contracts either contain express provisions or otherwise permit us and our counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable contract law, if our debt is downgraded by a credit rating agency, especially if such downgrade is to a level below investment grade, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to reference such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance, which could include a demand that we provide collateral to secure our obligations. We do not expect that our posting of collateral would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Dividends

On June 1, 2015, we made a cash dividend payment of $0.34 per share to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2015.

On July 24, 2015, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.34 per share payable on September 1, 2015 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2015. Future dividends, declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors, will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements and other factors.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” in our Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates and equity prices. There have been no significant changes to our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2014. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

American Water maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time

36

periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act).

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following information updates and amends the information provided in our Form 10-K in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”

Alternative Water Supply in Lieu of Carmel River Diversions

On March 18, 2015, the CPUC issued a decision approving, in part, the settlement agreement among California-American Water Company (“Cal Am”), the Monterey County Water Resource Agency (“MCWRA”) and the County of Monterey, by authorizing Cal Am’s recovery of $1.9 million of costs advanced to MCWRA, plus interest and fees under the reimbursement agreement and credit line agreement among the Marina Coast Water District (“MCWD”), MCWRA and Cal Am. These agreements, along with the water purchase agreement and other related ancillary agreements among MCWD, MCWRA and Cal Am, relate to the regional desalination project (“RDP”) involving the proposed construction of a desalination facility in the City of Marina. The CPUC denied without prejudice the additional recovery of approximately $765,000 because there was insufficient information for the CPUC to determine the reasonableness of such amount. Cal Am is permitted to file another application for recovery at a future date. On April 17, 2015, MCWD filed an application with the CPUC for a rehearing of the settlement approval.

On April 29, 2015, the San Francisco County Superior Court issued a final decision on the Complaint for Declaratory Relief filed by Cal Am against MCWRA and MCWD regarding the validity of the RDP agreements. In its final decision, the court ruled that four of the five RDP agreements are void. On the basis of previous rulings and dismissals, on June 1, 2015, the court entered its judgment declaring that four of the five RDP agreements are void and the credit line agreement is not void. On June 30, 2015, MCWD filed its notice of appeal of the court’s judgment. Cal Am and MCWRA filed post-judgment motions to recover trial costs and attorneys’ fees. On July 21, 2015, the court issued an order declaring Cal Am and MCWRA “are clearly the prevailing parties” in the Declaratory Relief action and awarded trial costs to Cal Am in the approximate amount of $56,000 (of approximately $99,000 sought).  The motions to recover attorneys’ fees, seeking approximately $1.2 million, have not yet been heard by the court. In July 2015, Cal Am and MCWRA filed a Complaint (the “Cal Am July 2015 Complaint”) against MCWD and RMC Water and Environment, a private engineering consulting firm. Cal Am seeks to recover compensatory, consequential and incidental damages associated with the failure of the RDP in an amount to be proven at trial, which have been alleged in the Cal Am July 2015 Complaint to be in excess of $10.0 million, as well as punitive and treble damages, statutory penalties and attorneys’ fees.

On July 30, 2015, MCWD filed a Complaint (the “MCWD July 2015 Complaint”) in San Francisco County Superior Court against Cal Am, MCWRA and certain unidentified individual defendants. MCWD is seeking to recover compensatory damages associated with the failure of the RDP in an amount to be proven at trial, which have been alleged in the MCWD July 2015 Complaint to be at least $18.0 million, as well as exemplary damages and attorneys’ fees. Cal Am has not yet responded to the MCWD July 2015 Complaint, but it intends to contest vigorously the causes of action stated against it.

A one-day trial on MCWD’s December 11, 2014 Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and the Ag Land Trust Petition was conducted on July 23, 2015 in Santa Cruz County Superior Court. The court denied both Petitions in their entirety. MCWD’s January 2015 Petition against the State Lands Commission and Cal Am remains active, and the deadline for Answers is August 21, 2015. The matter is scheduled for a one-day trial on November 20, 2015 in Santa Cruz County Superior Court.

In addition to the foregoing matters, Cal Am’s ability to move forward on the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (the “Water Supply Project”) is subject to extensive administrative review by the CPUC, review by other government agencies of necessary permit applications, and intervention from other parties, including some that are not participants in the settlement agreements relating to the Water Supply Project. In addition, there have been delays in the initial timetable for the preparation and certification by the CPUC of an environmental impact report due to, among other things, uncertainties regarding timing of government approval of various required permits. On July 9, 2015, the CPUC extended the environmental review of the Water Supply Project, and has not yet issued a revised procedural schedule with the final order date for the Water Supply Project. As a result, Cal Am estimates that the earliest date by which the Water Supply Project could be completed is sometime in 2018. We cannot assure that Cal Am’s application for the Water Supply Project will be approved or that the Water Supply Project will be completed on a timely basis, if ever.

Overflow of Diesel Fuel Tank

On March 2, 2015, Virginia-American Water Company (“VAWC”) - Hopewell District had an overflow of a diesel fuel day tank at its low lift pump station located along the Appomattox River in Hopewell, Virginia. Approximately 500 gallons of diesel fuel overflowed the day tank and onto the ground and a portion of the fuel ultimately entered the river. VAWC notified first responders and retained Clean Harbors, an emergency response company, to control the overflow area and perform clean-up at the site and in the river. On March 4, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued an Emergency Removal/Response Administrative Order directing the performance by VAWC of removal actions to mitigate the release. VAWC and Clean Harbors conducted removal efforts under the Order subject to oversight by the EPA and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”), and on May 11, 2015, the EPA issued a notice of completion of the work required under the Order. VAWC also has received and responded to a request from the EPA for information regarding the overflow of the diesel fuel tank.

On April 1, 2015, VDEQ issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) alleging violations arising from this incident without providing a specific fine or penalty amount. The NOV also alleged violations relating to discharges of chlorinated water into the river that were identified during the course of the response to the Hopewell diesel overflow. VAWC has taken steps to prevent any potential for such discharges going forward. VAWC and VDEQ continue to discuss resolving the NOV through a consent order.

West Virginia Elk River Freedom Industries’ Chemical Spill

As previously disclosed, four of the cases pending before the federal district court were consolidated for purposes of discovery, and an amended consolidated class action complaint for those cases (“Federal action”) was filed on December 9, 2014 by several plaintiffs who allegedly suffered economic losses, loss of use of property and tap water or other specified adverse consequences as a result of the Freedom Industries spill, on behalf of a purported class of all persons and businesses supplied with, using, or exposed to water contaminated with crude 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (“MCHM”) and provided by West Virginia-American Water Company (“WVAWC”) in Logan, Clay, Lincoln, Roane, Jackson, Boone, Putnam, and Kanawha Counties and the Culloden area of Cabell County, West Virginia as of January 9, 2014. The amended consolidated complaint names several individuals and corporate entities as defendants, including American Water Works Service Company, Inc. (“AWWSC”), WVAWC and the Company. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for alleged business or economic losses; unspecified damages or a mechanism for recovery to address a variety of alleged costs, loss of use of property, personal injury and other consequences allegedly suffered by purported class members; punitive damages and certain additional relief, including the establishment of a medical monitoring program to protect the purported class members from an alleged increased risk of contracting serious latent disease.

On April 9, 2015, the court in the Federal action denied a motion to dismiss all claims against the Company for lack of personal jurisdiction. A separate motion to dismiss filed by AWWSC and WVAWC (and joined by the Company) asserting various legal defenses in the Federal action was resolved by the court on June 3, 2015. The court dismissed three causes of action but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining causes of actions and allowed the plaintiffs to continue to pursue the various claims for damages alleged in their amended consolidated complaint. On July 6, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking certification of a class defined to include persons who resided in dwellings served by WVAWC’s Kanawha Valley Treatment Plant (“KVTP”) on January 9, 2014, persons who owned businesses served by the KVTP on January 9, 2014, and hourly employees who worked for such businesses. The plaintiffs seek a class-wide determination of liability against the American Water defendants, among others, and of damages to the three groups of plaintiffs as a result of the “Do Not Use” order issued after the Freedom Industries spill. This motion remains pending. On July 22, 2015, the court directed the parties to the Federal action to attend mediation scheduled for September 30, 2015. It is expected that the plaintiffs in the 53 state court cases, which were removed to federal court and are presently subject to stayed motions to remand to state court, will also participate in this mediation.

General

Periodically, the Company is involved in other proceedings or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. However, litigation and other proceedings are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation and other proceedings could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and our other public filings, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

On August 3, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s existing bylaws (the “Bylaws”) in their entirety. The following is a brief description of the amendments made to the Bylaws.

· Electronic Consents and Transmission of Notices. The Bylaws were amended to provide for the electronic conduct of meetings and electronic receipt of consents, and for the electronic transmission of notices.

· Director Actions. The vote required by the Board of Directors to take certain specified actions was amended throughout the Bylaws from a majority of directors present at the meeting to a majority of the total number of authorized directors, disregarding the existence of vacancies on the Board of Directors.

· Conduct of Stockholder Meetings. The Bylaws were amended to (A) permit the Board to appoint a presiding officer with respect to a stockholder meeting only if no other designated officer is present, (B) provide specifically for the role and duties of an inspector of election, and (C) include a non-exclusive list of the types of rules and procedures with respect to the holding and conduct of a stockholders meeting which may be adopted by the Board of Directors or the chairman of such meeting.

· Adjournment of Stockholder Meetings. The Bylaws were clarified to state that (A) adjournments of stockholder meetings may be taken regardless of whether a quorum is present, and (B) quorum is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of a stockholder and a meeting may continue after such withdrawal even if less than a quorum remains.

· Special Meetings of Stockholders; Stockholder Proposals. The Bylaws include provisions permitting stockholders holding at least 15% of the shares of Company stock entitled to vote to call a special meeting, and requiring stockholders to provide advance notice of director proposals in connection with a stockholder meeting. These provisions were amended to update the information that is required to be provided by stockholders about the nature of any such proposal and relationships between the submitting stockholder and such proposal, as well to require information regarding the purpose of the requested special meeting. The Bylaws were also amended to clarify generally the procedures to be followed in connection with such meetings.

· Qualifications of Directors. The Bylaws include provisions requiring stockholders to provide advance notice of director nominations by a stockholder at a stockholder meeting. The Bylaws were amended to add specific eligibility requirements for such nominations by stockholders as well as to update the information and documentation that must be provided by nominating stockholders.

· Indemnification. The Bylaws were amended to clarify the terms for providing indemnification and the Company’s obligation to advance expenses to certain indemnified persons, and to provide for a dispute resolution mechanism.

40

· Bylaw Amendments. The Bylaws were amended to require that specific notice of proposed bylaw amendments be provided in connection with the proposed amendment of the Bylaws in the future by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.

· Broker Non-Votes. The Bylaws were amended to clarify that broker non-votes are not to be counted as votes cast at a stockholder meeting.

· Record Dates. The Bylaws were amended to include a provision governing the fixing in advance by the Board of Directors of record dates.

· Certificates and Fractional Shares. The Bylaws amended to clarify that the Company may require a bond in connection with the issuance of a new certificate in the event of alleged loss, theft or destruction of a certificate or the issuance of uncertificated shares in replacement thereof, and may issue fractional shares.

· Other Miscellaneous Changes. The amended Bylaws include certain changes and additions designed to clarify the Bylaws and make them consistent with the amendments made thereto as well as current Delaware law and good governance practices, and to provide additional general provisions and definitions for completeness.

The foregoing description of the amendment and restatement of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amended and restated Bylaws, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE II

Meetings of Stockholders

Section 1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before the meeting in accordance with all applicable requirements of these Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (“DGCL”), shall be held at such place (within or without the State of Delaware), date (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held) and hour as shall be designated by resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption). The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the DGCL.

Section 2. Notice of Meetings. Each stockholder of record of each class of stock of the Corporation then outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be given written notice of such meeting, which notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. An affidavit of the Secretary or an

Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.  Notice given by electronic transmission shall only be valid if it complies with Section 232 of the DGCL.

Section 3. Notice of Business to be Brought Before a Meeting.

(a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, such business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) was a beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 3 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 3 in all applicable respects. For the avoidance of doubt, except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 (and interpretations thereunder) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)), and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, clause (iii) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders. For purposes of this Section 3, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or, if the proposing stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “qualified representative” of a  stockholder shall be, (i) a if such stockholder is a general or limited partnership, any general partner or person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership, (ii) if such stockholder is a corporation or a limited liability company, any officer or person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company or any officer, director, general partner or person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company or (iii) if such stockholder is a trust, any trustee of such trust. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors must comply with Section 4 and Section 5, and this Section 3 shall not be applicable to such nominations except as expressly provided in Section 4 and Section 5.

(b) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide a Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 3. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public

2

disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made (a notice satisfying the time period requirements of this Section 3(b) is referred to as a “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(c) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 3, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(i) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future; (C) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by qualified representative at the meeting to propose the business described in the Timely Notice; and (D) a representation as to whether the stockholder intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the proposed business described in the Timely Notice and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposed business (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);

(ii) As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (a “Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to

3

dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any significant competitor of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any significant competitor of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement) and (F) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(iii) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposed business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), and (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder, including without limitation any agreements that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 5 or Item 6 of a Schedule 13D that would be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act (regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable to the Proposing Person or other person or entity); and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, (iii) any participant (as defined in

4

(d) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 3 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for the determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the meeting and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days prior to the meeting and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, five (5) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section, such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than eight (8) business days after the record date for the determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the meeting.  In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (ii) above, such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than two (2) business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, two (2) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.  For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, a Federal or state legal holiday in the state of the Corporation’s principal place of business, or a day on which banks in the city of the Corporation’s principal place of business are required or permitted to close.

10

(b) No stockholder may request that the Secretary of the Corporation call a special meeting of the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(a) ( a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”) unless a stockholder of record has first submitted a request in writing that the Board of Directors fix a record date (a “Request Record Date”) for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to request that the Secretary of the Corporation call a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, which request shall be in proper form and delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation.

(d) Within ten (10) days after receipt of a request to fix a Request Record Date in proper form and otherwise in compliance with this Section 6 from any stockholder of record, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing a Request Record Date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to request that the Secretary of the Corporation call a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Request Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no resolution fixing a Request Record Date has been adopted by the Board of Directors within the ten (10) day period after the date on which such a request to fix a Request Record Date was received, the Request Record Date in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the twentieth (20th) day after the date on which such a request is received. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, no Request Record Date shall be fixed if the Board of Directors determines that the written request or requests to call a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting (each, a “Special Meeting Request” and collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”), that would otherwise be submitted following such Request Record Date could not comply with the requirements set forth in Section 6(g).

(e) In order for a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to be called, one or more Special Meeting Requests, in the form required by this Section 6, must be signed by stockholders as who, as of the Request Record Date, hold of record or beneficially, in the aggregate, more than the Requisite Percentage and must be timely delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. To be timely, a Special Meeting Request must be delivered to the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Request Record Date. In determining whether a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting has been properly requested, multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies the same purpose or purposes of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting and the same matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board), and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated Special Meeting Request.

A stockholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. If any such revocation(s) are received by the Secretary after the Secretary’s receipt of Special Meeting Requests from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders, and as a result of such revocation(s) there no longer are unrevoked demands from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders to call a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, the Board of

12

Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

(g) The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a Special Meeting Request if (i) such Special Meeting Request does not comply with this Section 6 or relates to an item of business to be transacted at the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law; (ii) the Special Meeting Request is received by the Corporation during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders and ending on the date of the final adjournment of the next annual meeting of stockholders; (iii) an identical or substantially similar item (a “Similar Item”) to that included in the Special Meeting Request was presented at any meeting of stockholders held within one year prior to receipt by the Corporation of such Special Meeting Request (it being understood that the election of directors at the preceding  annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed not to constitute a Similar Item in respect of a proposal to remove one or more directors or the entire Board at a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting); (iv) the Board calls an annual or special meeting of stockholders (in lieu of calling the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting) in accordance with Section 6(i); (v) a Similar Item is already included in the Corporation’s notice as an item of business to be brought before a meeting of stockholders that has been called but not yet held; or (vi) such Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or other applicable law.

(h) Business transacted at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be limited to the purpose stated in the valid Special Meeting Request; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from submitting matters to the stockholders at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. If none of the stockholders who submitted and signed the Special Meeting Request (but excluding any Solicited Stockholder) appears at or sends a qualified representative to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to present the matters to be presented for consideration that were specified in the Stockholder Meeting Request, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting.

(i) Any special meeting of stockholders, including any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, shall be held at such date and time as may be fixed by the Board in accordance with these Bylaws and in compliance with applicable law; provided that a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be held within ninety (90) days after the Corporation receives one or more valid Special Meeting Requests in compliance with this Section 6 from stockholders having beneficial ownership of at least the Requisite Percentage; provided, further, that the Board shall have the discretion to call an annual or special meeting of stockholders (in lieu of calling the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting) in accordance with Section 6(j) or cancel any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting that has been called but not yet held for any of the reasons set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.

(j) If a Special Meeting Request is made that complies with this Section 6, the Board may (in lieu of calling the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting) present a Similar Item for stockholder approval at any other meeting of stockholders that is held within ninety (90) days after the Corporation receives such Special Meeting Request.

13

(k) In connection with a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting called in accordance with this Section 6, the stockholder or stockholders (except for any Solicited Stockholder) who requested that the Board of Directors fix a record date for notice and voting for the special meeting in accordance with this Section 6 or who signed and delivered a Special Meeting Request to the Secretary shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection with such requests, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such requests pursuant to this Section 6 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for the determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the special meeting and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days prior to the special meeting and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, five (5) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed special meeting.

(l) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Secretary shall not be required to call a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting pursuant to this Section 6 except in accordance with this Section 6. If the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date for notice and voting for the special meeting or Special Meeting Request was not properly made in accordance with this Section 6, or shall determine that the stockholder or stockholders requesting that the Board of Directors fix such record date or submitting a Special Meeting Request have not otherwise complied with this Section 6, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix such record date or to call and hold the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. In addition to the requirements of this Section 6, each Requesting Person shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to (i) any request to fix a record date for notice and voting for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, (ii) any Special Meeting Request or (iii) a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

(m) After receipt of Special Meeting Requests in proper form and in accordance with this Section 6 from a stockholder or stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the Board of Directors shall duly call, and determine the place, date and time of, a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting for the purpose or purposes and to conduct the business specified in the Special Meeting Requests received by the Corporation; provided that the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be held within ninety (90) days after the Corporation receives one or more valid Special Meeting Requests in compliance with this Section 6 from stockholders holding at least the Requisite Percentage; provided, further, that the Board shall have the discretion to call an annual or special meeting of stockholders (in lieu of calling the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting) in accordance with Section 6(g) or cancel any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting that has been called but not yet held for any of the reasons set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6. The record date for notice and voting for such a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be fixed in accordance with

14

Article XI, Section 6 of these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall provide written notice of such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting in accordance with Article II, Section 2 of these Bylaws.

Section 7. Quorum. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, by the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, a majority in voting interest of those present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, or any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting until stockholders holding the amount of stock requisite for a quorum are present in person or by proxy.

Section 10. Inspectors. The Board may, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If any of the inspectors so appointed shall fail to appear or act, the chairman of the meeting may, or if inspectors shall not have been appointed, the chairman of the meeting shall, appoint one or more inspectors.

Section 11. Voting. Unless otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where otherwise required by applicable law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, may take place via a voice vote. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at a meeting of stockholders shall be cast by written ballot. When a quorum is present, except as otherwise provided by statute, by applicable stock exchange rules, by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. For the purposes of this Section 11, Broker Non-Votes represented at the meeting but not permitted to vote on a particular matter shall not be counted, with respect to the vote on such matter, in the number of (a) votes cast, (b) votes cast affirmatively, or (c) votes cast negatively.

Section 12. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person.

Section 13. Lists of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date.  The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a physical location, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communications, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided

17

with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this Section 13 or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 14. Postponement and Cancellation of Meetings. Any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, and any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of the stockholders called by the Board may be canceled, by resolution of the Board upon public notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders.

ARTICLE III

Board of Directors

Section 1. General Powers. The property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 2. Number of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption). The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time to time by a majority of the directors then in office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one or more directors. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 3. Term. The entire Board shall stand for election or re-election by the stockholders at each annual meeting, and each director shall be elected to serve until his or her successor shall be elected and duly qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in the manner as herein provided.  

Section 4. Qualifications. In addition to the requirements set forth in Article II, Section 5 regarding the eligibility of candidates for election as a director of the Corporation, each director shall be at least 21 years of age. Directors need not be stockholders or citizens or residents of the United States of America.

Section 5. Majority Voting in the Election of Directors.

(a) Except as provided in Section 8 of this Article III, each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present (an “Election Meeting”), provided that if as of a date that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such meeting (a “Contested Election”), each of the directors to be elected at the Election Meeting shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the

18

shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote at such meeting with respect to the election of directors. For purposes of this Section 5, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a candidate for director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that candidate for director (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast as either “for” or “against” such director’s election). In the event an Election Meeting involves the election of directors by separate votes by class or classes or series, the determination as to whether an election constitutes a Contested Election shall be made on a class by class or series by series basis, as applicable.

(b) The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has established procedures under which, in an uncontested election of directors, if any incumbent director nominated for re-election does not receive the vote of at least the majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, such director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the SEC or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. If a director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 below or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 above.

19

Section 6. Resignations.

(a) Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary; provided, however, that if such notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the director. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.  A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

Section 7. Removal of Directors. Any director or the entire Board may be removed, with or without cause, at any time upon the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Section 8. Vacancies. Vacancies in the Board and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders of the Corporation at the next annual meeting or any special meeting called for such purpose. Each director so chosen shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in the manner as herein provided.

Section 9. Place of Meetings. The Board may hold its meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board may from time to time determine or as shall be designated in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Section 10. Annual and Regular Meetings. The annual meeting of the Board for the purpose of electing officers and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting shall be held as soon as possible following adjournment of the annual meeting of the stockholders at the place of such annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice of such annual meeting of the Board need not be given. The Board from time to time may by resolution provide for the holding of regular meetings and fix the place (which may be within or without the State of Delaware), date and time of such meetings. Notice of regular meetings need not be given; provided, however, that if the Board shall fix or change the time or place of any regular meeting, notice of such action shall be mailed promptly, or given by telephone (including by a voice or text messaging system), facsimile or electronic mail to each director who shall not have been present at the meeting at which such action was taken, directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records, or shall be delivered to him or her personally.

20

Section 11. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board shall be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or at least two of the directors, at such place, date and time as may be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice of such meetings. Special meetings of the Board may be called on at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to each director if notice is given to each director personally or by telephone (including by a voice or text messaging system), facsimile or electronic mail, or on three (3) days’ notice from the official date of deposit if notice is sent by internationally recognized courier to each director, directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records. Such notice need not state the purpose of, nor the business to be transacted at, that meeting, except as may otherwise be required by these Bylaws or applicable law. Notice need not be given to a director present at a meeting. A meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in writing either before or after that meeting.

Section 12. Quorum and Manner of Acting. Except as provided by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the total number of directors then in office shall be present in person at any meeting of the Board in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of those directors present at any such meeting at which a quorum is present shall be necessary for the passage of any resolution or act of the Board, unless a different vote is required by applicable law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. In the absence of a quorum for any such meeting, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn such meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present thereat. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given.

Section 13. Organization. The Board shall from time to time, but in no event less frequently than annually, elect a Chairman of the Board from among the directors. The Chairman of the Board may be, but is not required to be, an officer or employee of the Corporation. Meetings of the Board shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or such other person as the Board may determine. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, and in his or her absence such other person as the person presiding over the meeting may appoint.

Section 14. Action Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or any committee thereof, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, as the case may be.

Section 15. Meetings by Electronic Communications Equipment. Any one or more members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or such committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 16. Compensation. Each director, in consideration of his or her serving as such, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation such amount per annum or such fees for attendance at meetings of the Board or of any committee, or both, as the Board shall from time to

21

time determine. The Board may likewise provide that the Corporation shall reimburse each director or member of a committee for any expenses incurred by him or her on account of his or her attendance at any such meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, a director who is an employee of the Corporation shall not receive any compensation for service on the Board of Directors, but shall be reimbursed for expenses of attendance at meetings in accordance with the Corporation’s applicable policies and procedures for such reimbursement. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

ARTICLE IV

Section 1. Committees. The Board shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption), designate a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee, an audit committee, and, if so desired from time to time, other committees to serve at the pleasure of the Board. Each committee shall consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (except as may be authorized in accordance with the provisions of Section 141(c)(1) of the DGCL), adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s properties and assets, recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution or to amend these Bylaws. Unless a resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) expressly provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend.  Such committee(s) shall have such name(s) as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of the committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 2. Committee Rules. Each committee of the Board may fix its own rules of procedure and shall hold its meetings as provided by such rules, except as may otherwise be provided by the resolution of the Board designating such committee or the charter adopted by the Board for such committee.

Designation of an officer shall not itself create contract rights. Any officer may resign at any time by giving written or electronic notice to the Corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice of resignation, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

To the extent that a Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding described in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article X, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against Expenses (as defined in Section 19 of this Article X) (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 4. Indemnification of Others. Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, the Corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and its agents to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law. Subject to applicable law, the Board shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified to such person or persons as the Board determines.

Section 5. Advance Payment of Expenses.

(a) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Covered Person in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such advances shall be paid by the Corporation within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a Covered Person in his or her capacity as a director or officer shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking in writing by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal (a “final disposition”) that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this bylaw or otherwise. The Covered Person’s undertaking to repay the Corporation any amounts advanced for Expenses shall not be required to be secured and shall not bear interest.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL or this Section 5, the Corporation shall not impose on the Covered Person additional conditions to the advancement of Expenses or require from the Covered Person additional undertakings regarding repayment. Advancements of Expenses shall be made without regard to the Covered Person’s ability to repay the Expenses.

27

(c) Advancements of Expenses pursuant to this subsection shall not require approval of the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation, or of any other person or body. The Secretary shall promptly advise the Board in writing of the request for advancement of Expenses, of the amount and other details of the request and of the undertaking to make repayment provided pursuant to this Section 5.

(d) Advancements of Expenses to a Covered Person shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Corporation to support the advancements claimed.

(e) The right to advancement of Expenses shall not apply to (i) any action, suit or proceeding against a Covered Person brought by the Corporation and approved by a majority of the authorized members of the Board which alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such agent, wrongful disclosure of confidential information, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such agent’s duty to the Corporation or its stockholders, or (ii) any claim for which indemnification is excluded pursuant to these Bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 6(c) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

Section 6. Limitations on Indemnification. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL or the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article X in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(c) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Corporation, as required in each case under the Exchange Act, including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed,  if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(d) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(e) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (a) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or the

28

relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (b) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (c) otherwise made under Section 5 of this Article X  or (d) otherwise required by applicable law; or

(f) if prohibited by applicable law.

Section 7. Indemnification Claims; Determination.

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a Covered Person shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Covered Person and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification.  Upon written request by a Covered Person for indemnification, a determination (the “Determination”), if required by applicable law, with respect to the Covered Person’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (i) by the Board by majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 19 of this Article X); (ii) if such a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (all directors, whether or not Disinterested Directors, may participate in such designation) consisting solely of two or more Disinterested Directors; (iii) if such a committee cannot be designated, by any Independent Counsel (as defined in Section 19 of this Article X) selected by the Board, as prescribed in (i) above or by the committee of the Board prescribed in (ii) above, in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant; or if a quorum of the Board cannot be obtained for (a) above and the committee cannot be designated under (b) above, selected by majority vote of the full Board (in which directors who are parties may participate); or (iv) if such Independent Legal Counsel determination cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a quorum of stockholders consisting of stockholders who are not parties to such Proceeding, or if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of stockholders who are not parties to the Proceeding. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days after such determination.

(b) If a claim for indemnification under this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) calendar days after a determination is made pursuant to Section 7(a) that the claimant is entitled to be indemnified, or (ii) if a request for advancement of Expenses under this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within ten (10) calendar days after a statement pursuant to Section 5 above and the required Undertaking, if any, have been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the unpaid amount of the claim for indemnification or request for advancement of Expenses and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also any and all Expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting such claim. In any such suit, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of Expenses. It shall be a defense to any such action that, under the DGCL or other applicable law, the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or that the claimant is not entitled to the requested advancement of Expenses, but (except where the required Undertaking, if any, has not been tendered to the Corporation) the burden of proving

29

such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth under the DGCL or other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(d) If a Determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(a) above that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 7(b) above.

(e) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 7(b) above that the procedures and presumptions of this Bylaw are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Bylaw.

Section 8. Procedures for the Determination of Whether Standards Have Been Satisfied.

(a) Costs.  All costs incurred by the Corporation in making the Determination shall be borne solely by the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the costs of legal counsel, proxy solicitations and judicial determinations. The Corporation shall also be solely responsible for paying all costs incurred by it in defending any suits or Proceedings challenging payments by the Corporation to a Covered Person under these Bylaws.

(b) Timing of the Determination.  The Corporation shall use its best efforts to make the Determination contemplated by Section 7 hereof as promptly as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Section 9. Non-exclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided in this Article X shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, insurance policy, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into an agreement with any of its directors, officers, employees or agents providing for indemnification and advancement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may change, enhance, qualify or limit any right to

30

indemnification or advancement of expenses created by this Article X, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

Section 10. Continuation of Rights. The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses provided in this Article X shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and estates.

Section 11. Contract Rights. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, the obligations of the Corporation to indemnify a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, agent or employee under this Article X, including the duty to advance expenses, shall be considered a contract right between the Corporation and such individual and shall be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or executive officer. Such contract right shall be deemed to vest at the commencement of such individual’s service to or at the request of the Corporation, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article X shall affect, to the detriment of the indemnified person and such indemnified person’s heirs, executors, administrators and estate, such obligations of the Corporation in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

Section 12. Subrogation.  In the event of payment of indemnification to a person described in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article X, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any right of recovery such person may have and such person, as a condition of receiving indemnification from the Corporation, shall execute all documents and do all things that the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to perfect such right of recovery, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to enforce any such recovery.

Section 13. No Duplication of Payments. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article X to make any payment in connection with any claim made against a person described in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article X to the extent such person has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, bylaw, agreement or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable as indemnity hereunder.

Section 14. Insurance and Funding.

(a) The Board of Directors may authorize that the Corporation purchase and maintain, at the Corporation’s expense, insurance to protect the Corporation and any person against any liability or expense asserted against or incurred by such person in connection with any Proceeding, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under this Article X or otherwise. The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to insure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect the indemnification provided herein.

(b) Any full or partial payment by an insurance company under any insurance policy covering any director, officer, employee, agent or other person indemnified above made to

31

or on behalf of a person entitled to indemnification under this Article X shall relieve the Corporation of its liability for indemnification provided for under this Article X or otherwise to the extent of such payment.

(c) Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section 14 may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation.  In the absence of fraud, (i) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section 14 and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action in approving the insurance or other financial arrangement; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

Section 15. No Imputation.  The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation or an Other Enterprise shall not be imputed to an indemnified person for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Article X.

Section 16. Reliance.  Persons who after the date of the adoption of Article X or any amendment thereto serve or continue to serve the Corporation in an Official Capacity or who, while serving in an Official Capacity, serve or continue to serve in an Official Capacity for an Other Enterprise, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses contained in this Article X.

Section 17. Severability. If this Article X or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer and any other person indemnified pursuant to this Article X as to all Expenses with respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article X that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 18. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Article X shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by U.S. mail, overnight courier or by e-mail or other electronic transmission, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

Shares and Their Transfer

Section 1. Certificated and Uncertificated Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, or shall be uncertificated shares evidenced by a book-entry system, or a combination of both. Certificates shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, (i) the President or a Vice President and (ii) the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, certifying the number and class of shares of the Corporation owned by the holder of such certificate. If such a certificate is countersigned (a) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee or (b) by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, the signature of any such President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may be a facsimile. In case any officer(s) who have signed, or whose facsimile signature(s) have been used on, any such certificate(s) shall cease to be such officer(s) of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate(s) have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate(s) may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate(s) or whose facsimile signature(s) have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer(s) of the Corporation.

Section 2. Registered Stockholders. A record shall be kept of the name of the person, firm or corporation owning each share of stock of the Corporation, including, in the case of stock represented by each certificate for stock of the Corporation issued, the number of shares represented by each such certificate, and the date thereof, and, in the case of cancellation, the date of cancellation. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, the person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation (a) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and (b) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

Section 3. Transfers of Stock. Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Corporation kept at an office of the Corporation or by transfer agents designated to transfer shares of the stock of the Corporation. Except when a certificate is issued in accordance with Section 4 of this Article XI, in the case of stock represented by a certificate, an outstanding certificate for the number of shares involved shall be surrendered for cancellation before a new certificate is issued therefor.

Section 4. Lost, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. In the case of an alleged loss or destruction or the mutilation of a certificate representing stock of the Corporation, a new

34

certificate may be issued in place thereof, in the manner and upon such terms as the Board may prescribe. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

Section 5. Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall have the complete discretion to issue fractional shares.

Section 6. Record Date. The Board of Directors may by resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) fix in advance a date as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or entitled to receive payment of any dividends or other distribution, or to exercise the rights in respect to any change, conversion, or exchange of capital stock, and in such case only stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or other distribution, or allotment of rights, or exercise such rights, as the case may be, and notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record date fixed as herein provided. In no event may any such record date: (i) be more than sixty (60) days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, or (ii) precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

35

Section 4. Evidence of Authority.

Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  All references in these Bylaws to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time, including the terms of any certificate of designations of any series of Preferred Stock.

Section 7. Interpretation. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Reference in these Bylaws to any provision of the DGCL shall be deemed to include all amendments thereof.

Section 8. Inconsistent Provisions. In the event that any provision of these Bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the DGCL or any other applicable law, such provision of these Bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.

Section 9. Notices.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by the DGCL or other applicable law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all notices required to be given to any person pursuant to these Bylaws shall be in writing and may in every instance be effectively given by hand delivery to the recipient thereof, by depositing such notice in the mails, postage paid, addressed to such person at his or her last known address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Notices may also be sent by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

Section 10. Notice to Stockholders by Electronic Transmission.

(a) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent;

36

and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice. However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(b) Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.  An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.  

(c) For purposes of these Bylaws, an “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Section 11. Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if (a) consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given, or (b) the Corporation complies with the provisions of Rule 14a-3(e) of the Exchange Act. The stockholder consent referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation, within sixty (60) days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.  

Section 12. Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting, whether in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Any person so waiving notice of such a meeting shall be bound by the

37

proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

ARTICLE XIV

Amendments

Exhibit 10.1

AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY, INC.

2007 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

STOCK UNIT GRANT

This STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of May 15, 2015 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by American Water Works Company, Inc. (the “Company”) to (the “Participant”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Committee (as defined in the American Water Works Company, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan) has determined to grant each non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) who is a non-employee director of the Company immediately following the Company’s 2015 Annual Stockholder meeting a stock unit grant that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Company Stock”) at a later date;

WHEREAS, the Participant is a non-employee director on the Board; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock unit grant granted to the Participant shall be issued under the American Water Works Company, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock unit shall be memorialized in this grant (the “Grant”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant units (the “Stock Units”).  Each Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable distribution date, as described in Paragraph 4 below.

2. Stock Unit Account.  The Company shall establish and maintain a Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Stock Unit Account”) for the Participant and shall record in such Stock Unit Account the number of Stock Units granted to the Participant.  The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Stock Unit Account established for the Participant.

3. Vesting.  The Participant shall be fully vested in the Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account pursuant to this Grant on the Date of Grant.

4. Distribution.  The Stock Units shall be converted to shares of Company Stock and distributed by the Company within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) August 14, 2016 (the “Specified Date”) (or, if applicable, the Deferred Date, as defined in Paragraph 5 below), (ii) the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) with the Company (the “Separation fromService Date”), or (iii) the date of a Change of Control (as defined below) (the “Change ofControl Date”).  At the time of distribution, all Stock Units shall be converted to an equivalent number of shares of Company Stock, and the Participant shall receive a single sum distribution of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan.  For purposes of this Grant, the term “Change of Control” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Grant unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations.

5. Deferrals.  The Participant may make an irrevocable election to defer the Specified Date (or further defer the Deferred Date (as defined below), if applicable) of all of the Stock Units, plus dividend equivalents earned on such Stock Units as described in Paragraph 6 below, to a later date, provided that (i) the election shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made, (ii) the deferred Specified Date cannot be earlier than five (5) years from the original Specified Date under Paragraph 4 (or five (5) years from the applicable Deferred Date, if a subsequent deferral of a Deferred Date is being made), and (iii) the election must be made no less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Specified Date (or twelve (12) months prior to the previously applicable Deferred Date, if a subsequent deferral of a Deferred Date is being made).  To defer the Specified Date, the Participant must elect to defer 100% of the Stock Units, including corresponding dividend equivalents, granted to the Participant under this Grant and complete the deferral election form provided to the Participant by the Committee, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or as may subsequently modified in the discretion of the Committee.  If the Participant desires to make a further deferral, the Participant must make such election on a separate form provided by the Committee for such purpose.  Any such election shall be made in accordance with section 409A of the Code and any corresponding guidance and regulations issued under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election pursuant to this Paragraph, if the Separation from Service Date or Change of Control Date occurs prior to the Deferred Date, the distribution of the Participant’s Stock Units, plus corresponding dividend equivalents, will be made as a result of the occurrence of the Separation from Service Date or Change of Control Date, whichever is earlier. If a Specified Date is delayed one or more times pursuant to this Paragraph 5, the new Specified Date shall be referred to as the “Deferred Date.”

6. Dividend Equivalents.  Until the earlier of the Specified Date (or the Deferred Date, if elected), Separation from Service Date or Change of Control Date, if any dividends are paid with respect to the shares of Company Stock, the Company shall credit to a dividend equivalent account (the “Dividend Equivalent Account”) the value of the dividends that would have been distributed if the Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of the date of payment of any such dividend were shares of Company Stock.  At the same time that the Stock Units are converted to shares of Company Stock and distributed to the Participant, the Company shall pay to the Participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the value of the dividends credited to the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account.  No interest shall accrue on any dividend equivalents credited to the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account.

2

7. Change of Control.  Except as set forth above, the provisions set forth in the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan and is consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Code.

8. Acknowledgment by Participant.  By accepting this Grant, the Participant acknowledges that with respect to any right to distribution pursuant to this Grant, the Participant is and shall be an unsecured general creditor of the Company without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of the Company, and the Participant hereby covenants for himself or herself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under the Participant, not to claim any such preference, and hereby disclaims and waives any such preference which may at any time be at issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  The Participant also hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Grant.  The Participant further agrees to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant and the Plan and the Participant’s rights to benefits under this Grant and the Plan, and agrees that all such determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Grant and the Plan on behalf of the Participant.

9. Restrictions on Issuance or Transfer of Shares of Company Stock.

(a)The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Company Stock upon the distribution of the Stock Units shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Company Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares of Company Stock, the shares of Company Stock may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.  The issuance of shares of Company Stock and the payment of cash to the Participant pursuant to this Grant is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.

(b) As a condition to receive any shares of Company Stock upon conversion of the Stock Units, the Participant agrees:

(i) to be bound by the Company’s policies regarding the limitations on the transfer of such shares, and understands that there may be certain times during the year that the Participant will be prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, mortgaging, hypothecating or otherwise encumbering the shares; and

(ii) that the shares of Company Stock obtained by the Participant upon the distribution of the Stock Units shall not be tradable until the Participant owns enough shares of Company Stock outright, as stock units convertible into shares of Company Stock, and time-based restricted Company Stock, to meet or exceed five (5) times the Participant’s annual cash retainer, which ownership requirement must be satisfied by the

3

the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s commencement of service as a director on the Board.

10. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions.  This Grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan.  In the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Grant and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.  Except as otherwise defined in this Grant, capitalized terms used in this Grant shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.  This Grant is subject to the interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares of Company Stock, (iii) changes in capitalization of the Company, and (iv) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe this Grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder and the Participant’s acceptance of this Grant is the Participant’s agreement to be bound by the interpretations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant and the Plan.

11. No Rights as Stockholder.  The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to any cash dividends (except as provided in Paragraph 6), or the right to vote, with respect to any Stock Units.

12. No Rights to Continued Employment or Service.  This Grant shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in the employment or service of the Employer (as defined in the Plan) and shall not interfere in any way with the right to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time.  The right to terminate at will the Participant’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

13. Assignment and Transfers.  No Stock Units or dividend equivalents awarded to the Participant under this Grant may be transferred, assigned, pledged, or encumbered by the Participant and the Stock Units and dividend equivalents shall be distributed during the lifetime of the Participant only for the benefit of the Participant.  Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, or encumber the Stock Units or dividend equivalents under this Grant by the Participant shall be null, void and without effect.  The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company.  This Grant may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent.

14. Withholding. To the extent required by applicable law, the Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the Grant, vesting or distribution of the Stock Units and dividend equivalents.

15. Effect on Other Benefits.  The value of shares of Company Stock and dividend equivalents distributed with respect to the Stock Units shall not be considered eligible earnings for purposes of any other plans maintained by the Employer.  Neither shall such value be considered part of the Participant’s compensation for purposes of determining or calculating other benefits that are based on compensation, such as life insurance.

4

16. Applicable Law.  The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Grant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

17. Notice.  Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at the Company’s corporate headquarters, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address shown on the records of the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate to the Company in writing.  Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

18. Section 409A of the Code.

(a) This Grant is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted and administered to avoid any penalty sanctions under section 409A of the Code.  If any distribution cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein or as elected by the Participant, then such distribution shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions cannot be imposed.  Except according to a valid election made pursuant to Paragraph 5 above, in no event may the Participant designate the calendar year of distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Grant, if any of the distributions under this Grant are payable to the Participant upon separation from service (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code) from the Employer, then if at the time of the Participant’s separation from service the Participant is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code and its corresponding regulations) as determined by the Company (or any successor thereto) in its sole discretion in accordance with its specified employee determination policy, then all distributions to the Participant pursuant to this Grant shall be postponed for a period of six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service from the Employer.  The postponed amounts shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service from the Employer.  If the Participant dies during such six (6)-month period and prior to the distribution of the postponed amounts hereunder, the amounts delayed on account of section 409A of the Code shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Participant’s death, and any amounts not delayed shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate in accordance with the terms of this Grant.

b. Scope of the Agreement.  The foregoing shall in no event apply to any claims that, as a matter of applicable law, are not waivable.  American Water and the Executive agree that nothing in this Agreement prevents or prohibits the Executive from:  (i) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in connection with any charge, action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or as required by law or legal process; (ii) participating, cooperating, or testifying in any charge, action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any self-regulatory organization, governmental agency or legislative body, pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iii) filing, testifying, participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state or municipal law relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization; or (iv) challenging the knowing and voluntary nature of the release of ADEA claims pursuant to the OWBPA.  To the extent permitted by law, upon receipt of any subpoena, court order or other legal process compelling the disclosure of any such information or documents, the Executive agrees to give written notice within two (2) business days of receipt of such to American Water and prior to providing any response thereto so as to permit American Water to protect its interests in confidentiality to the fullest extent possible.  To the fullest extent provided by law, the Executive agrees and acknowledges, however, that the Executive is waiving any right to recover monetary damages in connection with any such charge, action, investigation or proceeding.  To the extent the Executive receives any monetary relief in connection with any such charge, action, investigation or proceeding, American Water will be entitled to an offset for the benefits made pursuant to this Agreement, to the fullest extent provided by law.

American Water and the Executive further agree that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and comparable state or local agencies have the authority to carry out their statutory duties by investigating charges, issuing determinations, and filing lawsuits in Federal or state court in their own name, or taking any action authorized by the EEOC or comparable state or local agencies.  The Executive retains the right to participate in any such action and to seek any appropriate non-monetary relief.  The Executive retains the right to communicate with the EEOC and comparable state or local agencies and such communication can be initiated by the Executive or in response to the government and such right is not limited by any non-disparagement claims.  American Water and the Executive agree that communication with employees plays a critical role in the EEOC’s enforcement process because employees inform the agency of employer practices that might violate the law.  For this reason, the right to communicate with the EEOC is a right that is protected by Federal law and the Agreement does not prohibit or interfere with those rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive agrees to waive any right to recover monetary damages in any charge, complaint or lawsuit filed by the Executive or by anyone else on the Executive’s behalf.

c. Waiver of Claims under the ADEA.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive is waiving any claims under the ADEA, as amended by the OWBPA, and that:

i. the Executive is receiving consideration which is in addition to anything of value to which the Executive otherwise would have been entitled;

ii. the Executive fully understands the terms of this Agreement and the Executive enters into it voluntarily without any coercion on the part of any person or entity;

iii. the Executive was given adequate time to consider all implications and to freely and fully consult with and seek the advice of whomever the Executive deemed appropriate and has done so;

iv. the Executive was advised in writing, by way of this Agreement, to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement;

v. the Executive was advised that the Executive has twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date hereof within which to consider this Agreement before signing it and, in the event that the Executive signs this Agreement and returns it back to the Company during this time period, said signing constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of this time period, and the Executive understands that any changes to this Agreement, whether material or not, do not restart the twenty-one (21) day period; and

vi. the Executive has seven (7) calendar days after executing this Agreement within which to revoke this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”).  If the seventh day is a weekend or national holiday, the Executive has until the next business day to revoke.  If the Executive elects to revoke this Agreement, the Executive shall notify Leonard A. Crane, Vice President, Human Resources, in

4

KLW Executive's Initials

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements provided in this report include the accounts of American Water Works, Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at June 30, 2015 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014. The unaudited financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results and other matters. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year, due primarily to the seasonality of the Company’s operations.

The accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relate to continuing operations only unless otherwise indicated.

The Company reclassified previously reported 2014 data to conform to the current presentation for discontinued operations. See Note 3 for additional details on the Company’s discontinued operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

The following recently issued accounting standards have been adopted by the Company and have been included in the consolidated results of operations, financial position or footnotes of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements:

Service Concession Arrangements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for an operating entity that enters into a service concession arrangement with a public sector grantor who controls or has the ability to modify or approve the services that the operating entity must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide the services and at what price. The grantor must also control, through ownership or otherwise, any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement. The guidance specifies that an operating entity should not account for the service concession arrangement as a lease. The operating entity should refer instead to other accounting guidance to account for the various aspects of the arrangement. The guidance also specifies that the infrastructure used in such an arrangement should not be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the operating entity. To comply with this guidance, application was required on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements that existed at January 1, 2015. The Company reduced nonutility property and other long-term assets for infrastructure related to service concession arrangements and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $8,395, net of tax, to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2015.

Reporting Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the updated guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. A strategic shift could include a disposal of a major geographical area of operations, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major part of the entity. A component comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity including a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary or an asset group. The update no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations or if there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the Company).

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet required to be adopted by the Company:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption was not permitted. The new guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The FASB voted on July 9, 2015 to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the Company). Additionally in its decision, the FASB decided to permit early adoption of the standard, but not before annualperiods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company is evaluating the new guidance, the best transition method and the impact the new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation with Performance Targets

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for stock-based compensation tied to performance targets. The amendments clarify that a performance target that affects vesting of a share-based payment and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is a performance condition. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value and compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The updated guidance may be applied either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that explicitly requires an entity’s management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity to evaluate, at each interim and annual period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued) and to provide related disclosures, if applicable. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual periods thereafter (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the consolidation analysis for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as well as voting interest entities. The amended guidance (1) modifies the assessment of limited partnerships as VIEs, (2) amends the effect that fees paid to a decision maker or service provider have on the VIE analysis, (3) amends how variable interests held by a reporting entity’s related parties and de facto agents impact its consolidation conclusion, (4) clarifies how to determine whether equity holders have power over an entity and (5) provides a scope exception for registered and similar unregistered money market funds. The guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance on imputation of interest and simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The updated guidance requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability. Such treatment is consistent with the current presentation of debt discounts or premiums. Prior to this amendment, debt issuance costs were reported in the balance sheet as an asset (i.e., a deferred charge), whereas debt discounts and premiums were, and remain, reported as deductions from or additions to the debt itself. Recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments. The effective date is for financial statements covering fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amended guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis. Thus, balance sheets for each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying how customers should account for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service and other similar hosting arrangements. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for the fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to arrangements entered into, or materially modified after the effective date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is routinely involved in legal actions incident to the normal conduct of its business. At June 30, 2015, the Company has accrued approximately $3,800 of probable loss contingencies and has estimated that the maximum amount of losses associated with reasonably possible loss contingencies is $29,600. For certain matters, the Company is unable to estimate possible losses. The Company believes that damages or settlements recovered by plaintiffs in such claims or actions, if any, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On January 9, 2014, a chemical storage tank owned by Freedom Industries, Inc. leaked two substances used for processing coal, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or MCHM, and PPH/DiPPH, a mix of polyglycol ethers, into the Elk River near the West Virginia-American Water Company (“WVAWC”) treatment plant intake in Charleston, West Virginia. To date, 58 lawsuits have been filed against WVAWC with respect to this matter in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia or West Virginia Circuit Courts in Kanawha, Boone and Putnam counties. Fifty-two of the state court cases naming WVAWC, and one case naming both WVAWC and American Water Works Service Company, Inc. (“AWWSC,” and together with WVAWC and the Company, the “American Water Defendants”) were removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, but are subject to motions to remand the cases back to the state courts and have been consolidated for the sole purpose of resolving venue issues. Four of the cases pending before the federal district court were consolidated for purposes of discovery, and an amended consolidated complaint for those cases was filed on December 9, 2014 by several plaintiffs who allegedly suffered economic losses, loss of use of property and tap water or other specified adverse consequences as a result of the Freedom Industries spill, on behalf of a purported class of all persons and businesses supplied with, using, or exposed to water contaminated with Crude MCHM and provided by WVAWC in Logan, Clay, Lincoln, Roane, Jackson, Boone, Putnam, and Kanawha Counties and the Culloden area of Cabell County, West Virginia as of January 9, 2014. The amended consolidated complaint names several individuals and corporate entities as defendants, including the American Water Defendants. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for alleged business or economic losses; unspecified damages or a mechanism for recovery to address a variety or alleged costs, loss of use of property, personal injury and other consequences allegedly suffered by purported class members; punitive damages and certain additional relief, including the establishment of a medical monitoring program to protect the purported class members from an alleged increased risk of contracting serious latent disease.

On April 9, 2015, the court in the Federal action denied a motion to dismiss all claims against the Company for lack of personal jurisdiction. A separate motion to dismiss filed by AWWSC and WVAWC (and joined by the Company) asserting various legal defenses in the Federal action was resolved by the court on June 3, 2015. The court dismissed three causes of action but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining causes of actions and allowed the plaintiffs to continue to pursue the various claims for damages alleged in their amended consolidated complaint. On July 6, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking certification of a class defined to include persons who resided in dwellings served by WVAWC’s Kanawha Valley Treatment Plant (“KVTP”) on January 9, 2014, persons who owned businesses served by the KVTP on January 9, 2014, and hourly employees who worked for such businesses. The plaintiffs seek a class-wide determination of liability against the American Water Defendants, among others, and of damages to the three groups of plaintiffs as a result of the “Do Not Use” order that was issued after the Freedom Industries spill. This motion remains pending. On July 22, 2015, the court directed the parties to the Federal action to attend mediation scheduled for September 30, 2015. It is expected that the plaintiffs in the 53 state court cases, which were removed to federal court and are presently subject to stayed motions to remand to state court, will also participate in this mediation. The Company believes that the causes of action asserted against the American Water Defendants in the lawsuits described above are without merit and continues to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]

Environmental Matters

Note 10: Environmental Matters

The Company’s water and wastewater operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements relating to environmental protection, and as such, the Company periodically becomes subject to environmental claims in the normal course of business. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations or provide a future benefit are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Remediation costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations are accrued, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that these costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated. Remediation costs accrued amounted to $1,100 and $2,200 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The accrual relates to a conservation agreement entered into by a subsidiary of the Company with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) requiring the Company to, among other provisions, implement certain measures to protect the steelhead trout and its habitat in the Carmel River watershed in the state of California. The Company has agreed to pay $1,100 annually from 2010 through 2016. The Company pursues recovery of incurred costs through all appropriate means, including regulatory recovery through customer rates. The Company’s regulatory assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include $7,794 and $7,791, respectively, related to the NOAA agreement.

The Company does not reclassify the amortization of defined benefit pension cost components from accumulated other comprehensive loss directly to net income in its entirety. These accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. (See Note 8)

The amortization of the loss on cash flow hedge is included in interest, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Antidilutive Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for the specific purpose of providing a vehicle to mitigate the dilutive effect of shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and executive compensation activities. This program allows the Company to purchase up to 10,000 shares of its outstanding common stock over an unrestricted period of time to minimize dilution. Under the program, the Company may repurchase its common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The program is being conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and to facilitate the purchases, the Company has also entered into a Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan with a broker.

The shares repurchased are held as treasury shares, at cost, until cancelled or reissued at the discretion of the Company’s management. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 250 shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $13,231 under the program.

Stock Options

In the first six months of 2015, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees under the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The stock options vest ratably over the three-year service period beginning January 1, 2015. These awards have no performance vesting conditions and the grant date fair value is amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the resulting weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Dividend yield		2.35	%
Expected volatility		17.64	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.48	%
Expected life (years)		4.4
Exercise price	$	52.75
Grant date fair value per share	$	6.21

Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan have a maximum term of seven years, vest over periods ranging from one to three years, and are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2015, $2,222 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

The table below summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price (per share)		Weighted-Average Remaining Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at January 1, 2015		1,910		$	33.47

Restricted Stock Units

During 2012, the Company granted selected employees an aggregate of 158 restricted stock units with internal performance measures and, separately, certain market thresholds. These awards vested in January 2015. The terms of the grants generally specified that to the extent certain performance goals, comprised of internal measures and market thresholds, were achieved, the restricted stock units would vest; if target performance was surpassed, up to 175% of the target awards would be distributed; and if performance thresholds were not met, the awards would be forfeited. In January 2015, 93 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the vesting of these restricted stock units because performance thresholds were exceeded.  

In June 2015, the Company granted 15 restricted stock units to non-employee directors under the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock units vested on the date of grant; however, distribution of the shares will be made within 30 days of the earlier of (a) 15 months after grant date or (b) the participant’s separation from service. Because these restricted stock units vested on grant date, the total grant date fair value was recorded in operation and maintenance expense on the grant date.

In the first six months of 2015, the Company granted restricted stock units, both with and without performance conditions, to certain employees under the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock units without performance conditions vest ratably over the three-year service period beginning January 1, 2015 and the restricted stock units with performance conditions vest ratably over the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2015 (the “Performance Period”). Vesting of the shares underlying the restricted stock units with performance conditions is contingent upon the achievement of internal performance measures and, separately, certain market thresholds over the Performance Period. The restricted stock units granted with service-only conditions and those with internal performance measures are valued at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock units granted with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation for restricted stock units with market conditions granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Expected volatility	14.93	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.07	%
Expected life (years)	3

The grant date fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vest ratably and have market and/or performance and service conditions is amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method. Restricted stock units that have no performance conditions are amortized through expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. As of June 30, 2015, $7,314 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining life of 1.4 years.

The table below summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)
Non-vested total at January 1, 2015		516		$	41.46

Non-vested total at June 30, 2015		438		$	46.88

The following table summarizes additional information regarding restricted stock units distributed during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	2015		2014
Intrinsic value	$	15,931	$	14,266
Income tax benefit		1,900		1,551

If dividends are paid with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock before the restricted stock units are distributed, the Company credits a liability for the value of the dividends that would have been paid if the restricted stock units were shares of Company common stock. When the restricted stock units are distributed, the Company pays the participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the value of the dividend equivalents accrued. The Company accrued dividend equivalents totaling $423 and $417 to retained earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Acquisitions

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company closed on three acquisitions of various regulated water and wastewater systems for a total aggregate purchase price of $41,175. Assets acquired, principally plant, totaled $65,708, including $1,798 of goodwill, and liabilities assumed totaled $22,301, including $7,707 of contributions in aid of construction and other long-term liabilities of $14,039.

On July 9, 2015, the Company made a strategic acquisition in Water Solutions Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Keystone Clearwater Solutions (“Keystone”), by acquiring a ninety-five percent interest in the entity for approximately $130,000. Keystone is a water service provider that offers a range of water related services to the oil and gas industry primarily in the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The acquisition agreement calls for purchase price adjustments related to working capital, capital expenditures and results of operations through the date of close. The Company also entered into an agreement giving it the right to purchase the remaining membership interests upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or at defined dates of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2018. The owners of the remaining membership interests also have the right to sell their membership interests upon the occurrence of these same triggering events or defined dates. The Company is in the process of determining the purchase price allocation for this acquisition.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Common Share

Note 11: Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security. The Company has participating securities related to restricted stock units, granted under the 2007 Plan, that earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with common shares. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding for calculating basic earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
Basic	2015		2014			2015		2014
Income from continuing operations	$	123,075	$	110,174		$	203,118	$	179,287

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	0.00	$	(0.00	)	$	0.00	$	(0.01	)
Net income	$	0.69	$	0.61		$	1.13	$	0.99

(a) Earnings per share amounts are computed independently for income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total per-share amount for net income.

Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents related to the restricted stock units, stock options, and employee stock purchase plan. The dilutive effect of the common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method and expected proceeds on vesting of the restricted stock units, exercise of the stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding for calculating diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

(a) Earnings per share amounts are computed independently for income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations and net income. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total per-share amount for net income.

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for an operating entity that enters into a service concession arrangement with a public sector grantor who controls or has the ability to modify or approve the services that the operating entity must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide the services and at what price. The grantor must also control, through ownership or otherwise, any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement. The guidance specifies that an operating entity should not account for the service concession arrangement as a lease. The operating entity should refer instead to other accounting guidance to account for the various aspects of the arrangement. The guidance also specifies that the infrastructure used in such an arrangement should not be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the operating entity. To comply with this guidance, application was required on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements that existed at January 1, 2015. The Company reduced nonutility property and other long-term assets for infrastructure related to service concession arrangements and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $8,395, net of tax, to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2015.

Reporting Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the updated guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. A strategic shift could include a disposal of a major geographical area of operations, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major part of the entity. A component comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity including a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary or an asset group. The update no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations or if there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the Company).

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet required to be adopted by the Company:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption was not permitted. The new guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The FASB voted on July 9, 2015 to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the Company). Additionally in its decision, the FASB decided to permit early adoption of the standard, but not before annualperiods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company is evaluating the new guidance, the best transition method and the impact the new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation with Performance Targets

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for stock-based compensation tied to performance targets. The amendments clarify that a performance target that affects vesting of a share-based payment and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is a performance condition. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value and compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The updated guidance may be applied either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that explicitly requires an entity’s management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity to evaluate, at each interim and annual period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued) and to provide related disclosures, if applicable. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual periods thereafter (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the consolidation analysis for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as well as voting interest entities. The amended guidance (1) modifies the assessment of limited partnerships as VIEs, (2) amends the effect that fees paid to a decision maker or service provider have on the VIE analysis, (3) amends how variable interests held by a reporting entity’s related parties and de facto agents impact its consolidation conclusion, (4) clarifies how to determine whether equity holders have power over an entity and (5) provides a scope exception for registered and similar unregistered money market funds. The guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance on imputation of interest and simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The updated guidance requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability. Such treatment is consistent with the current presentation of debt discounts or premiums. Prior to this amendment, debt issuance costs were reported in the balance sheet as an asset (i.e., a deferred charge), whereas debt discounts and premiums were, and remain, reported as deductions from or additions to the debt itself. Recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments. The effective date is for financial statements covering fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amended guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis. Thus, balance sheets for each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying how customers should account for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service and other similar hosting arrangements. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for the fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to arrangements entered into, or materially modified after the effective date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Note 12: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Current assets and current liabilities—The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for current assets and current liabilities, including revolving credit debt, due to the short-term maturities and variable interest rates, approximate their fair values.

Preferred stock with mandatory redemption requirements and long-term debt—The fair values of preferred stock with mandatory redemption requirements and long-term debt are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs that are used to value each instrument. The fair value of long-term debt classified as Level 1 is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 instruments are valued using observable inputs and Level 3 instruments are valued using observable and unobservable inputs. The fair values of instruments classified as Level 2 and 3 are determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current market rates. As a majority of the Company’s debts do not trade in active markets, the Company calculated a base yield curve using a risk-free rate (a U.S. Treasury securities yield curve) plus a credit spread that is based on the following two factors: an average of the Company’s own publicly-traded debt securities and the current market rates for U.S. Utility debt securities with a bond credit rating of A-. The Company used these yield curve assumptions to derive a base yield for the Level 2 and Level 3 securities. Additionally, the Company adjusted the base yield for specific features of the debt securities including call features, coupon tax treatment and collateral for the Level 3 instruments.

The carrying amounts, including fair value adjustments previously recognized in acquisition purchase accounting and a fair value adjustment related to the Company’s interest rate swap fair value hedge (which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy), and fair values of the financial instruments are as follows:

			At Fair Value as of June 30, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Preferred stock with mandatory redemption    requirements	$	15,941	$	—	$	—	$	20,195	$	20,195
Long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations)		5,492,681		2,814,037		1,460,219		2,010,748		6,285,004
			At Fair Value as of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Preferred stock with mandatory redemption    requirements	$	17,151	$	—	$	—	$	22,167	$	22,167
Long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations)		5,491,341		2,874,622		1,474,708		2,055,058		6,404,388

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

Restricted funds—The Company’s restricted funds primarily represent proceeds received from financings for the construction and capital improvement of facilities and from customers for future services under operations and maintenance projects. The proceeds of these financings are held in escrow until the designated expenditures are incurred. Also included in restricted funds above is $7,177 and $22,366 of money market funds held in trust for active employee benefits, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which the Company includes in other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rabbi trust investments—The Company’s rabbi trust investments consist primarily of equity and fixed income indexed funds from which supplemental executive retirement plan benefits and deferred compensation obligations can be paid. The Company includes these assets in other long-term assets.

Deposits—Deposits include escrow funds and certain other deposits held in trust. The Company includes cash deposits in other current assets.

Deferred compensation obligations—The Company’s deferred compensation plans allow participants to defer certain cash compensation into notional investment accounts. The Company includes such plans in other long-term liabilities. The value of the Company’s deferred compensation obligations is based on the market value of the participants’ notional investment accounts. The notional investments are comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices.

Mark-to-market derivative asset and liability—The Company utilizes fixed-to-floating interest-rate swaps, typically designated as fair-value hedges, to achieve a targeted level of variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt. The Company also employs derivative financial instruments in the form of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, classified as economic hedges, in order to fix the interest cost on some of its variable-rate debt. The Company uses a calculation of future cash inflows and estimated future outflows, which are discounted, to determine the current fair value. Additional inputs to the present value calculation include the contract terms, counterparty credit risk, interest rates and market volatility.
