Capital Investment of $875 million Rates expected to go into effect over three steps in Jan. 2024, May 2024, and May 2025 Rate case filed 5/1/23 O Capital Investment of $340 million • Rates expected to go into effect 2/25/24 Completed Rate Cases in 2023 • General Rate Case • Additional authorized revenues of $11 million Effective 4/24/23 • General Rate Case Federal PFAS Update On March 14, 2023, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the proposed National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for six per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). American Water submitted oral comments on May 4 and submitted written comments on May 24 to the EPA on its proposed PFAS regulation, as the EPA develops its final rule, expected by the end of 2023. American Water is currently part of Multi-District Litigation against multiple PFAS manufacturers because we firmly believe that the ultimate responsibility for the cleanup of these contaminants should fall to the polluters. American Water will advocate to ensure all water and wastewater utility providers, regardless of ownership, have equal access to any and all Federal and/or state funding related to treating PFAS. American Water believes an investment in excess of $1 billion of capital to install additional treatment facilities over a 3 to 5-year period could be possible in order to comply with the rule as proposed. Additionally, American Water also believes annual operating expenses related to testing and treatment could be near $50 million in today's dollars. These are preliminary estimates dependent upon multiple factors including the final rule and effective date, as well as the Company's system-by-system engineering analyses. MISSOURI AMERICAN WATER • Additional authorized revenues of $95 million, including $51M for infrastructure surcharges previously approved •Effective 5/28/23 Other Regulatory Updates In California, related to the Monterey Water Supply Project, the amended Pure Water Monterey Expansion water purchase agreement was signed by the parties following an Order issued by the CPUC.

the incurrence of impairment charges, changes in fair value and other adjustments related to the Company's goodwill or the value of its other assets; labor actions, including work stoppages and strikes; the Company's ability to retain and attract highly qualified and skilled employees and/or diverse talent; civil disturbances or unrest, or terrorist threats or acts, or public apprehension about future disturbances, unrest, or terrorist threats or acts; and the impact of new, and changes to existing, accounting standards. These forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be read together with, the risks and uncertainties set forth above and the risk factors included in American Water's annual, quarterly and other SEC filings, and readers should refer to such risks, uncertainties and risk factors in evaluating such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements American Water makes speak only as of the date of this presentation. American Water does not have or undertake any obligation or intention to update or revise any forward- looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors. Furthermore, it may not be possible to assess the impact of any such factor on the Company's businesses, either viewed independently or together, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive. 29 Case No. 2022-00432 Bluegrass Water's Response to PSC 3-25 Exhibit PSC 3-25(b) - Part 1 of 2 Page 29 of 39#30Non-GAAP Financial Information AMERICAN WATER This presentation includes adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios, both historical and forward-looking, which exclude from their calculation (i) estimated purchased water and other revenues and purchased water expenses, (ii) the impact of the Freedom Industries chemical spill in 2014 and certain related settlement activities recognized in 2016 and 2018, (iii) the estimated impact in 2012 and 2014 of weather, (iv) as to operating revenues, the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, and (v) the allocable portion of non-O&M support services costs, mainly depreciation and general taxes. Also, an alternative presentation of these ratios has been provided for each of 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, which includes a pro forma adjustment for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and includes for 2012, 2014 and 2016 the impact of our implementation of Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit, on January 1, 2018. These items were excluded from the O&M efficiency ratio calculation as they are not reflective of management's ability to increase the efficiency of our regulated businesses. For that reason, these adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules. We evaluate our operating performance using these ratios and believe that the presentation of them is useful to investors because the ratios directly measure improvement in the operating performance and efficiency of our regulated businesses. These ratios are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be read in conjunction with our GAAP disclosures and should be considered as an addition to, and not a substitute for, any GAAP measure. These ratios (i) are not accounting measures based on GAAP; (ii) are not based on a standard, objective industry definition or method of calculation; (iii) may not be comparable to other companies' operating measures; and (iv) should not be used in place of the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this presentation. Management is unable to present a reconciliation of adjustments to the components of the forward-looking adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratio without unreasonable effort because management cannot reliably predict the nature, amount or probable significance of all the adjustments for future periods; however, these adjustments may, individually or in the aggregate, cause each of the non-GAAP financial measure components of the forward-looking ratios to differ significantly from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Set forth in this appendix are tables that reconcile each of the components of our historical adjusted regulated O&M efficiency ratios to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. All references throughout this presentation to EPS or earnings per share refer to diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders. 30 Case No. 2022-00432 Bluegrass Water's Response to PSC 3-25 Exhibit PSC 3-25(b) - Part 1 of 2 Page 30 of 39#31State Legislation & Regulation Enable Growth AMERICAN WATER Fair Market Value 11 Consolidated Tariffs 11 Forward Looking Test 9 Year Infrastructure Mechanisms 10 CA MO ΙΑ IL IN KY WV { ≤ N N N MD MD Z ₁ = = = ₤ WV MO > N B N Z CA J = HI ΙΑ TN IL WANN KY ΙΑ NJ PA IL PA IN TN VA KY VA IN MO WV Water Quality Accountability Legislation IN, MO, NJ 3 31 Case No. 2022-00432 Bluegrass Water's Response to PSC 3-25 Exhibit PSC 3-25(b) - Part 1 of 2 Page 31 of 39#32Closed Acquisitions March 31, 2023 AMERICAN WATER STATE NUMBER OF SYSTEMS WATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS WASTEWATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS TOTAL CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS Missouri 4 Indiana 1 600 200 Total 5 800 600 1,200 200 600 1,400 22 32 Case No. 2022-00432 Bluegrass Water's Response to PSC 3-25 Exhibit PSC 3-25(b) - Part 1 of 2 Page 32 of 39#33Acquisitions Under Agreement March 31, 2023 NUMBER STATE WATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS OF SYSTEMS AMERICAN WATER WASTEWATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS TOTAL CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS Pennsylvania 6 100 27,900 28,000 Missouri 4 1,000 900 1,900 Illinois 3 1,500 1,200 2,700 New Jersey 3 1,600 5,200 6,800 Virginia 3 1,600 1,400 3,000 California 3 1,300 1,300 Iowa 2 100 100 200 West Virginia 2 3,700 500 Indiana 1 100 4,200 100 Total 27 27 10,900 37,300 48,200 33 Case No. 2022-00432 Bluegrass Water's Response to PSC 3-25 Exhibit PSC 3-25(b) - Part 1 of 2 Page 33 of 39#34Rates Effective Since...
