Tax Matters

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”) was signed into law. The OBBB includes several corporate tax-related provisions. Key changes include the permanent extension of certain provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, such as 100% bonus depreciation and Section 163(j) interest limitation exception for regulated utilities, as well as the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, and the introduction of a new charitable contribution floor for corporations. The OBBB has not had a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to monitor the implementation and any related guidance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital and other financial commitments are generally funded through cash flows from operations, public and private debt offerings, issuances of commercial paper and equity and, if and to the extent necessary, borrowings under the revolving credit facility of American Water Capital Corp., the Company’s wholly owned finance subsidiary.

The Company expects to fund future maturities of long-term debt through a combination of external debt and, to the extent available, cash flows from operations. Since the Company expects its capital investments over the next few years to be greater than its cash flows from operating activities, the Company currently plans to fund the excess of its capital investments over its cash flows from operating activities for the next five years through a combination of long-term debt and equity issuances, in addition to the remaining proceeds from the sale of HOS. The remaining proceeds from the sale of HOS include receipt of payments under a secured seller promissory note, plus interest, see Note 5—Acquisitions and Divestitures—Secured Seller Promissory Note from the Sale of Homeowner Services Group, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. If necessary, the Company may delay certain capital investments or other funding requirements or pursue financing from other sources to preserve liquidity. In this event, the Company believes it can rely upon cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and fund its minimum required capital investments for an extended period of time.
