American States Water Company (NYSE:AWR) announced on April 13, 2023 that its subsidiary, Golden State Water Company (GSWC), received a proposed decision from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding new water rates for 2022-2024. The final decision is anticipated in Q2 2023, with retroactive rates effective from January 1, 2022. This will notably impact 2023 first quarter results. The approved settlement allows GSWC to invest $404.8 million in infrastructure improvements for safe water services. It also includes provisions for potential revenue increases in 2023 and 2024, subject to inflation adjustments. Additionally, GSWC's requests for medical insurance and general liability cost balancing accounts were approved, but the consolidation of two customer service areas was denied. A conference call to discuss the results is scheduled for May 11, 2023.
American States Water Company (NYSE:AWR) reported a decrease in fourth quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share (EPS) to $0.50, down $0.05 from $0.55 in Q4 2021.
