Item 8.01. Other Events. San Dimas, California, November 19, 2025. . . American States Water Company (NYSE: AWR) announced today that on November 18, 2025, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") approved a request to defer the cost of capital application by another year for AWR's wholly owned subsidiary, Golden State Water Company ("GSWC"). GSWC was scheduled to file its next cost of capital application on May 1, 2026. On November 10, 2025, GSWC, along with three other investor-owned California water utilities, requested a further extension of the date by which each of them must file their cost of capital applications. The CPUC's approval postponed this filing date by one year until May 1, 2027, with a corresponding effective date of January 1, 2028. The CPUC also approved the joint parties' request to leave the current Water Cost of Capital Mechanism in place through the one-year deferral period. GSWC's current authorized rate of return on rate base is 7.93%, based on its weighted cost of capital, which will continue in effect through December 31, 2027. The 7.93% return on rate base includes a return on equity of 10.06%, an embedded cost of debt of 5.1%, and a capital structure with 57% equity and 43% debt.
