O&M expenses increased 8.9% year-over-year to $639.6 million, mainly due to higher employee costs, Universal Service rider, and water production costs.

Guidance excludes DELCORA acquisition but includes other signed municipal deals; three signed purchase agreements in Pennsylvania and Texas expected to close in H1 2026.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
