Name •Adjusted diluted EPS        
Non-GAAP Measure Description Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from diluted earnings per share reported in SJW Group's audited financial statements adjusted to exclude certain compensation-related items, gains and losses on asset sales, changes in the fair value of equity investments, impairments of long-lived assets, and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted Diluted EPS presented above is calculated as defined in SJW Group's incentive plans which may provide for different adjustments compared to the adjustments the Corporation uses to calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS that is presented in earnings releases, investor presentations, and other external communications. Refer to Appendix A of this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
