American Water Works Company, Inc. (AWK) reported Q32013 earnings from continuing operations of 84 cents/share, missing the estimations by a penny. Quarterly earnings were 2.3% lower than the year-ago figure. The disappointing performance was primarily due to lower-than-normal weather conditions, and an increase in depreciation expenses as well as general taxes. The company’s operating revenues were $829.2 million. It also missed the preliminary estimations by $33.8 million. On a year-over-year basis, revenues edged down 0.3% from $831.8 million.
