Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share/Capital Stock Earnings per Share/Capital Stock
In accordance with the accounting guidance for participating securities and earnings per share (“EPS”), Registrant uses the “two-class” method of computing EPS. The “two-class” method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. AWR has participating securities related to restricted stock units that earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with the Common Shares, and that have been issued under AWR’s stock incentive plans for employees and the non-employee directors stock plans. In applying the “two-class” method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both Common Shares and participating securities.
The following is a reconciliation of Registrant’s net income and weighted average Common Shares outstanding used to calculate basic EPS:

Basic earnings per Common Share$1.10 $0.87 $1.86 $1.57 
Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of Common Shares, including both outstanding shares and shares potentially issuable in connection with restricted stock units granted under AWR’s stock incentive plans for employees and directors, and net income. The following is a reconciliation of Registrant’s net income and weighted average Common Shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS:

(1) In applying the treasury stock method of reflecting the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based compensation in calculating diluted EPS, 160,506 and 158,549 restricted stock units, including performance awards to officers of the Company at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were deemed to be outstanding and included in the calculation of diluted EPS.
On February 27, 2024, AWR entered into an equity distribution agreement with third-party sales agents, which was subsequently amended on February 20, 2026 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), under which AWR could offer and sell its Common Shares, from time to time at its sole discretion, through an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $200 million over a three-year period and pursuant to AWR’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. AWR used the net proceeds from these sales, after deducting commissions on such sales and offering expenses, for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, repayment of debt and equity contributions to its subsidiaries. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, AWR sold 442,722 Common Shares, through its ATM offering program and raised proceeds of $33.8 million, net of $0.5 million in commissions paid under the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. AWR also incurred $0.1 million of other expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2026, which included primarily legal and other costs to support this ATM offering program. There were no Common Shares issued during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
