The jump in operating cash flow in **FY 2023** was driven by several key factors. **Changes in deferred taxes** played a major role due to the settlement of a deferred tax liability from the sale of the company’s New York regulated operations in early 2022. Additionally, **changes in working capital** contributed significantly because estimated tax payments related to the sale of the Homeowner Services Group and New York operations, which amounted to **$280 million** in FY 2022, did not recur in FY 2023. Lastly, an **increase in net income** from **$820 million** in FY 2022 to **$944 million** in FY 2023 further boosted the operating cash flow.  **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:120]** **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:146]** 

What drove the jump in operating cash flow in FY 2023?

Operating cash flow nearly doubled—from **$345 million** in Q2 2024 to **$679 million** in Q3 2024—due to a combination of factors. Although the documents detail these dynamics over the nine‐month period ending in September 2024, the same drivers likely played a significant role in Q3. Specifically, an increase in **net income** (rising from **$773 million** to **$812 million**) helped boost operating cash, and **improvements in non-cash activities** (adding an additional **$28 million**) further strengthened the cash flows. These positive impacts were partially offset by factors such as lower deferred income tax benefits and changes in working capital. In summary, the synergy of higher net income and better non-cash adjustments resulted in the substantial increase in operating cash flow in Q3 2024 compared to Q2 2024.  **[0001410636-24-000134_awk-20240630.htm:8]** **[0001410636-24-000187_awk-20240930.htm:8]** **[0001410636-24-000187_awk-20240930.htm:73]**

In Q3 2024, operating revenues increased by **$156 million** compared to Q3 2023 due to several key factors. The primary driver was **authorized rate increases**—including new infrastructure surcharges—contributing **$83 million** to the boost. Additionally, **acquisitions and organic growth** added **$11 million**, while a **reduction in amortization of Excess Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes (EADIT)** provided a benefit of **$7 million**. Finally, **stronger demand** contributed an extra **$20 million** to the overall revenue jump.  **[0001410636-24-000187_awk-20240930.htm:48]** **[0001193125-24-247634_d821194dex991.htm:2]** **[0001410636-24-000187_awk-20240930.htm:66]** 

Why did Operating Revenues increase in Q3 2024?

The increase in Q3 2024 operating income was primarily driven by a significant **rise in operating revenues**—an increase of **$124 million** due to authorized revenue increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings for the recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments. Although **operating expenses** also increased by **$63 million**, the net effect resulted in a **$65 million** bump in operating income.  **[0001410636-24-000187_awk-20240930.htm:7]** **[0001193125-24-247634_d821194dex991.htm:2]** 

What drove the bump in Operating Income in Q3 2024?

American Water Works Company, Inc.'s **Q1 2024** increase in interest expense is not attributed to a specific cause in the documents. However, the documents note that the company completed a **$1.4 billion debt issuance** in February 2024, which included **$700 million** of 10-year notes at **5.15%** and **$700 million** of 30-year notes at **5.45%**. This additional debt likely contributed to the rise in interest expense during the quarter.  **[0001410636-24-000093_ex991-3312024q1pressrelease.htm:10]** **[0001410636-24-000092_awk-20240331.htm:7]** **[0001410636-24-000092_awk-20240331.htm:51]** **[AWK_3382320_1]** **[AWK_3382320_6]** 

What caused Interest Expense to rise in Q1 2024?

The full-year net income of **$944 million** was driven by several factors across the entire year, whereas the Q4 net income was **$171 million**.  **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:144]**  Dividing the full-year figure by four gives an approximate quarterly average of **$236 million**, indicating that **Q4's performance was below the average quarter** and does not appear to be exceptional on its own.  **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:144]** **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:99]** 

Is the full-year Net Income figure reflecting an exceptional quarter performance?

Based on the provided information, **no specific reasons were given for the slight dip in Operating Revenues in Q1 2024 compared to Q4 2023**. The documents only detail the factors that contributed to the **increase from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024**—namely, authorized rate increases, acquisitions and organic growth, and reduced amortization of EADIT.  **[0001410636-24-000093_ex991-3312024q1pressrelease.htm:10]** **[0001410636-24-000092_awk-20240331.htm:7]**  There is no explanation for the quarter‐on‐quarter decline between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 in the available documents.  **[0001410636-24-000050_awk-20231231.htm:144]** **[0001410636-24-000092_awk-20240331.htm:51]** 

Why did Operating Revenues dip slightly in Q1 2024?
