What is the forecast for capital expenditures and cash flow in the remainder of 2025, especially regarding the construction projects that lowered earnings this quarter?

Answer

The press release you provided reports American States Water Company’s (AWR) second‑quarter 2025 earnings per share and notes that “timing differences in construction activities” reduced earnings for the quarter. However, the release does not include any specific guidance or forecasts for:

  • Capital expenditures (CapEx) for the remainder of 2025
  • Cash‑flow expectations for the rest of the year
  • Details on the construction projects that caused the timing‑related earnings impact

Because those forward‑looking figures are not disclosed in the excerpt you shared, I can’t give a concrete forecast for CapEx or cash flow based solely on this information.

What you can do next

  1. Review the full earnings release – Companies typically include a “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) section that outlines expected capital‑investment plans and cash‑flow outlook for the year. The full AWR Q2 2025 release (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website or on Business Wire) may contain the missing guidance.

  2. Check the latest investor presentation or conference call transcript – In quarterly earnings calls, executives often discuss the status of major construction projects, any expected delays, and how those projects will affect future spending and cash generation.

  3. Look at the company’s 2025 capital‑budget plan – AWR may file a separate “Capital Budget” or “Capital Expenditure Outlook” with the SEC (e.g., in a Form 10‑K or 10‑Q). Those filings usually break out projected CapEx by segment and by major projects.

  4. Contact Investor Relations – If you need the most up‑to‑date guidance, AWR’s IR team can provide a summary of the expected CapEx and cash‑flow impact of the construction projects referenced in the quarter’s results.

Bottom line

  • The provided news snippet does not contain the forecast you’re asking for.
  • To obtain the capital‑expenditure and cash‑flow outlook for the remainder of 2025—including the impact of the construction projects that lowered earnings—you’ll need to consult the full earnings release, the accompanying MD&A, the earnings‑call transcript, or other SEC filings where AWR typically discloses that guidance.
