Including benefit from bonus depreciation, 2011 EPS was $1.02. Revenue grew 12.4% and 10.3% in Q4'12 and for the full year, respectively. .. Positive rate case impact and surcharges aided the top line in 2012, as did customer growth of 1.9%, which was partially attributable to 18 acquisitions. Weather was often in the headlines last year, but in our estimation, had little ultimate impact on EPS."Aqua America closed at $28.61 on Monday.
