Based upon preliminary estimates, 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. We also believe operating expenses related to testing and treatment could be near $50 million annually. 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. MISSOURI AMERICAN WATER • • General Rate Case • Additional authorized revenues of $95 million, including $51M for infrastructure surcharges previously approved • Effective 5/28/23 Other Regulatory Updates On June 29, the California CPUC issued a decision on the cost of capital application authorizing an 8.98% ROE with an equity component of 57.04%.

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. 31#32Non-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. 32#33State Legislation & Regulation Enable Growth Fair Market Value 11 Consolidated Tariffs 11 Forward Looking Test Year 9 AMERICAN WATER Infrastructure Mechanisms 10 10 G ≤ = ≥ ≥ CA MO CA MO J CA KY NJ ΙΑ NJ HI PA IL PA ΙΑ TN VA IN VA IL WANN PA IN VA ≤ = ≥ ≥ IA NJ PA TN KY VA KY WV KY WV IN MO WV MD MD Water Quality Accountability Legislation 3 IN, MO, NJ 33#34Closed Acquisitions June 30, 2023 NUMBER STATE WATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS OF SYSTEMS Missouri 4 New Jersey 2 Illinois Indiana 600 1,600 2 1,300 1 200 AMERICAN WATER WASTEWATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS TOTAL CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS 600 1,200 1,400 3,000 1,300 2,600 200 Pennsylvania 1 100 100 Total 10 3,800 3,300 7,100 34#35Acquisitions Under Agreement June 30, 2023 NUMBER STATE WATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS OF SYSTEMS Pennsylvania Missouri 9 4 1,800 1,000 AMERICAN WATER WASTEWATER CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS TOTAL CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS 29,600 900 31,400 1,900 Illinois 600 4 26,400 27,000 West Virginia 3 3,700 500 4,200 Virginia 3 1,600 1,400 3,000 California 3 1,300 1,300 Indiana 2 200 200 Iowa 2 200 100 300 New Jersey 1 Maryland Total 3,800 3,800 1 1,700 1,700 32 12,100 62,700 74,800 35 55#36Rate Filings Summary ($ in millions) Rate Filings Completed* Effective since January 1, 2023 $67 $340 $273 Requested Revenue in Pending Base Rate Proceedings AMERICAN WATER $151 $4 $155 Rate Cases (Includes Step Increases) Infrastructure Charges Total Rate Cases* ** Infrastructure Charges Total * Annualized revenue increase for rates effective since January 1, 2023 ** Excludes revenue already approved through infrastructure mechanisms 36#37Rates Effective Since...
