[8-K] American States Water Company Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

What happened: American States Water Company (NYSE:AWR) announced that it released an earnings press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and furnished that press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Why it matters: The 8-K itself does not include the company’s financial results; it simply notifies investors that the company published its second-quarter earnings information. The filing also states the press release is "furnished" (not "filed") and includes a cover page interactive data file. Investors should read Exhibit 99.1 for the actual numbers and details.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: AWR furnished its Q2 2025 earnings press release; the 8-K contains no performance figures, so the investor impact depends on the released press release.

This 8-K is procedural: it confirms the company issued a press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and attaches that release as Exhibit 99.1. Because the filing itself does not disclose revenues, earnings, guidance, or cash flow, there is no basis here to assess operating performance or valuation impact. Market-relevant conclusions require reviewing the attached press release and any accompanying financial statements or tables.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Routine disclosure; the company properly furnished its earnings release and included XBRL cover page data; no governance red flags are evident from this filing alone.

The Form 8-K states the press release is furnished rather than filed under Section 18, which limits its incorporation by reference into future filings unless explicitly stated. The report is signed by the Senior VP–Finance/CFO, indicating appropriate authorization. There are no disclosures here about board actions, executive changes, or material transactions.
