BRYN MAWR, Pa. (May

6, 2026) – Essential Utilities Inc. (NYSE: WTRG) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Company Highlights

“Through

continued strong operating performance, a focus on cost control, and making investments designed to improve customer experience,

we expect another strong year in 2026. While our team is preparing for our merger with American Water, expected to close in the

first quarter of 2027, our primary focus remains on operating the company with excellence,” said Essential Utilities Chairman

and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Franklin. “We are excited by the combination of American and Essential because of

the expected benefits for customers and shareholders. Equally as exciting is the commitment, made by both companies, to continued

strong robust investment in our infrastructure that makes us among the top performers in safety and reliability in the nation

while working to provide affordable service for all customers,” Franklin added.

“The regulatory approval

processes for our merger with American Water continue to progress. Two weeks ago, we received our first approval of the merger

from the Kentucky Public Service Commission. As a reminder, we have filed in all pertinent states. At the special shareholder

meeting to approve the merger, approximately 95% of the voted shares were cast in favor of the transaction. This overwhelming

mandate supports what we have believed from the start: that this combination creates a premier, multi-state utility with a high

growth profile,” Franklin added.

First Quarter 2026 Operating

Results

Essential

reported GAAP net income of $224.4 million and earnings per share of $0.79 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to GAAP net

income of $283.8 million and earnings per share of $1.03 for the same period in 2025. The first quarter of 2025 included the benefit

of non-recurring items, including the release of an income tax reserve regulatory liability resulting from a rate order, proceeds

from an insurance carrier reimbursing expenses related to a legal proceeding, and rate recovery of a regulated asset associated

with bad debt.

Essential

reported Q1 2026 non-GAAP EPS of $0.83, which reflects business results without the impact of merger-related expenses incurred

in the quarter.

Revenues for the

quarter were $861.8 million compared to $783.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 10%. Additional revenues from

regulatory recoveries and purchased gas costs were the main revenue drivers. Operations and maintenance expenses increased to

$175.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $137.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases

in employee-related costs, including increases in overtime pay and outside service costs due to activities related to the cold

weather in January and February, water production expenses, and merger-related expenses of $16.3 million.

Essential’s

regulated water segment reported revenues for the quarter of $323 million, an increase of 7.4% compared to $300.8 million in the

first quarter of 2025. Regulatory recoveries and increased volume were the largest contributors to the increase in revenues for

the period. Operations and maintenance expenses for Essential’s regulated water segment increased to $103.1 million for

the first quarter of 2026 compared to $89.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by increased employee-related costs,

increases in bad debt expense, and an increase in contractor services due to higher main break activity given the abnormal weather.

Excluding the one-time items and the impact of abnormal weather, operations and maintenance expenses for the full year are expected

to be in line with historic norms.

Essential’s

regulated natural gas segment reported revenues for the quarter of $529.4 million, compared to $470.8 million in the first quarter

of 2025, driven primarily by an increase in purchased gas costs, higher regulatory recoveries and an offset due to the weather

normalization adjustment. Operations and maintenance expenses for Essential’s regulated natural gas segment increased slightly

to $56.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $55.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Dividend

As previously announced on

February 17, 2026, Essential’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.3426 per share of common stock.

This dividend will be payable on June 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 12, 2026.

Financing

On March 9, 2026, the Company

issued $500 million of senior notes due March 15, 2036, with an interest rate of 5.125%. The Company used the net proceeds from

the issuance to repay a portion of its commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2026, Essential’s

weighted average cost of fixed-rate long-term debt was 4.16%, and the company had $1.035 billion available on its credit lines.

Rate Activity

Thus far in 2026, the Company’s

regulated water segment received rate awards or infrastructure surcharges that will increase annual revenues in Illinois, Indiana,

Pennsylvania, and Ohio by $5.7 million, and its regulated natural gas segment received rate awards or infrastructure surcharges

in Kentucky and Pennsylvania of $9.4 million.

The Company currently has

base rate cases or infrastructure surcharges pending in Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Jersey for its regulated

water and wastewater segment for an estimated $101.9 million in incremental annual revenues. The company currently has a base

rate case pending in Pennsylvania for its natural gas segment with a requested revenue increase of $163.2 million to support its

Long-Term Infrastructure Improvement Plan, which involves the replacement and retirement of aging gas mains and the associated

reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Capital Expenditures

Essential invested approximately

$269 million in the first three months of 2026 to improve its regulated water and natural gas infrastructure systems and to enhance

customer service across its operations. The Company continues to be a leader in the United States at replacing miles of aged underground

utility pipes and is committed to maintaining elevated levels of infrastructure investment. Essential is on track to invest $1.7

billion in needed infrastructure investments in 2026.

Water Utility Growth by Acquisition

Essential’s continued

growth by acquisition allows the company to provide safe and reliable water and wastewater service to a larger customer base than

it could from organic customer growth alone.

On March 4, 2026, Essential

announced that it had closed on its $18 million purchase of the Greenville Municipal Water Authority in Mercer County, PA. The

system serves more than 2,900 customers in Greenville Borough as well as Hempfield and West Salem Townships. The Pennsylvania

Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved the transaction on January 15, 2026.

Since 2015, Essential has

acquired approximately $570 million in rate base and added more than 138,000 new customers or equivalent dwelling units to

the company’s footprint.

The company has signed purchase agreements

for additional water and wastewater systems in Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina and New Jersey that are pending closing and

are expected to serve over 201,000 customers or equivalent dwelling units and total approximately $285 million in purchase price.

The Company’s $276.5 million agreement to acquire the Delaware County Regional Water Quality Control Authority (DELCORA),

a Pennsylvania sewer authority that serves approximately 198,000 equivalent dwelling units in the Philadelphia suburbs, is included

among these signed purchase agreements.

The pipeline of potential

water and wastewater municipal acquisitions the Company is actively pursuing represents approximately 400,000 total customers.

Merger with American Water Works

Company, Inc.

The Company is continuing

to progress through the process of obtaining the consents and approvals needed to successfully consummate the proposed merger

with American Water. On February 10, 2026, shareholders of both companies voted overwhelmingly in favor of merger-related proposals.

In 2025, Essential submitted applications for required regulatory approval in all states where applicable. On April 20, 2026,

we received an order from the Kentucky Public Utility Commission approving the merger. The merger remains on track for closing

in the first quarter of 2027.

Financial and Growth Guidance

The Company’s latest

expectations are the following:

· Anticipated

growth in long-term earnings per share at a compound annual growth rate of 5% to 7% from

the adjusted 2024 earnings per share of $1.97 (non-GAAP) for the three-year period through

2027.

· In

2026, regulated infrastructure investments are expected to be $1.7 billion.

· Multiyear

plan to ensure that finished water does not exceed the federal maximum contaminant level

of the six EPA-regulated PFAS chemicals.

Guidance Assumptions

Essential

Utilities does not guarantee future results of any kind. Guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation,

those factors outlined in the “Forward Looking Statements” of this release and the “Risk Factors” section

of the company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The earnings per share

and infrastructure investment include the municipal water and wastewater acquisitions for which the company has entered into signed

purchase agreements as of the date the guidance was announced, but do not include DELCORA or other potential acquisitions from

the company’s list of acquisition opportunities that currently represents over 400,000 customer equivalents. While the company

remains confident in its ability to close DELCORA, for guidance purposes, DELCORA has been removed from all guidance metrics.

The company’s guidance includes the expectation that the company will continue to issue equity and debt on an as-needed

basis to support acquisitions and capital investment plans.

Essential

Utilities believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted earnings per share” used for 2024 and identified

as part of its multi-year financial and growth guidance supplements investors the ability to measure the company’s financial

operating performance for 2024, including by adjustment, as compared to the Company’s operating performance in 2024.

Reconciliation

of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(In thousands,

except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

The Company

is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted income" and "adjusted diluted income per common

share" provide investors the ability to measure the Company’s financial operating performance by adjustment, which

is more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The Company further believes that the presentation of

these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as a more meaningful way to compare the Company’s operating performance

against its guidance range for 2024.

This

reconciliation includes a presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted income” and “adjusted diluted

income per common share” and have been adjusted for the following items:

(1)

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed the sale of its interest in three non-utility local microgrid and distributed

energy projects and recognized a gain of $91,236, net of transaction expenses. In October 2023, the Company completed the sale

of its regulated natural gas utility assets in West Virginia. In 2024, the Company received additional proceeds from this sale

of regulated natural gas utility assets in West Virginia and post-transaction activities.

(2)

Estimated impact to Peoples Natural Gas (PNG) operating revenues from warmer than normal weather conditions during 2024 and nonrecurring

usage. These impacts are partially offset by favorable regulated water consumption in 2024 due to drier than normal weather conditions.

(3) The income tax impact

of the non-GAAP adjustments described above.

These financial

measures are measures of the Company’s operating performance that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles (GAAP), and are thus considered to be “non-GAAP financial measures” under applicable Securities and Exchange

Commission regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from our consolidated financial information, if available,

and is provided to supplement the Company's GAAP measures, and should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial

performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation

of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

The Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of adjusted

earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release, to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted

earnings per share does not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and is thus considered to be a “non-

GAAP financial measures” under applicable SEC regulations.

Adjusted earnings

per share is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance and compare it

to that of its peers, evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies, and in connection with executive

compensation decisions. This measure is also frequently used by analysts, investors, and others to evaluate industry peers. Further,

the Company believes adjusted earnings per share is helpful in highlighting trends in the Company’s results because it allows

for more consistent comparisons of performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature

or outside the control of management. The Company further believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors

as a more meaningful way to compare the Company’s operating performance against its guidance. This non-GAAP measure does,

however, have certain limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings per share or any other performance.

Adjusted earnings per share adjusts for the following items:

(1) costs associated with the pending merger with American Water; and

(2) the income tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustment described above.
