payments from 2014 – 2024. The company’s current policy is to
achieve a compound annual growth rate in the dividend of more than
7% over the long-term.
“This dividend increase reflects our Board of Directors’
continued confidence in the company’s financial strength and
ability to achieve long-term, sustainable earnings growth, along
with its desire to be one of the leaders in the industry for
dividend growth,” said Robert J. Sprowls, President and CEO of
American States Water Company. “A growing dividend allows the
company to attract capital for investments in its infrastructure
that enable us to provide safe and reliable services to our
customers and return value to our shareholders.”
Dividends on the common shares will be payable on September 3,
2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August
