Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2025
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "we", "us", "our", "Itron", and the "Company" refer to Itron, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Statement Preparation
The consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and reflect entries necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Consolidated Statements of Equity for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, June 30, 2025 and 2024, and March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, of Itron, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All entries required for the fair presentation of the financial statements are of a normal recurring nature, except as disclosed. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any other period.
Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been partially or completely omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K on February 25, 2025 (2024 Annual Report). There have been no significant changes in financial statement preparation or significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents that are contractually restricted from operating use are classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. We had $1.8 million pledged for standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Risks and Uncertainties
Global economic impacts, such as pandemics and various ongoing conflicts around the world, may create disruption in customer demand and global supply chains, resulting in market volatility, which our management continues to monitor. In the aftermath of these types of events, global supply chains, including labor, may struggle to keep pace with rapidly changing demand. Temporary imbalance in supply and demand may create business uncertainties that include increased costs and lack of availability. Efforts continue with suppliers to improve supply resiliency, including the approval of alternative sources. Additionally, inflation in our raw materials and component costs, freight charges, sanctions, tariffs, and labor costs may increase above historical levels due to, among other things, the continuing impacts of an uncertain economic environment. We may or may not be able to fully recover these increased costs through pricing actions with our customers. Currently, we have not identified any significant decrease in long-term customer demand for our products and services.
While we have limited direct business exposure in areas with current conflict, such as Ukraine, Israel, or Iran, military actions globally and any resulting sanctions or tariffs could adversely affect the global economy, as well as further disrupt the supply chain. A major disruption in the global economy and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The extent and duration of military action, sanctions, tariffs, and resulting market and/or supply disruptions are impossible to predict but could be substantial, and our management continues to monitor these events closely.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends Income Taxes (Topic 740). The FASB issued this update to improve annual basis income tax disclosures related to (1) rate reconciliation, (2) income taxes paid, and (3) other disclosures related to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The effective date for this amendment is January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements, and we expect the adoption of the standard will impact certain areas of our income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance is intended to enhance transparency and disclosures by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for our annual report as of December 31, 2027, and for interim reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The new guidance clarifies the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. The ASU is effective beginning in 2026, with early adoption permitted. We will utilize this guidance for any future induced conversions or extinguishments of our convertible notes.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The practical expedient permits all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We plan to early adopt this new guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025, and we do not expect a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the internal-use software guidance that is accounting for under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments supersede the website development costs guidance and incorporate the recognition requirements for website-specific development costs from Subtopic 350-50 into Subtopic 350-40. The ASU also clarifies which disclosure framework applies to capitalized software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for us beginning with our interim financial reports for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The ASU adds a new scope exception from derivative accounting for non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The ASU also clarifies that when an entity has a right to receive a share-based payment from its customer in exchange for the transfer of goods or services, the share-based payment should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of ASC 606. ASU 2025-07 is effective for us beginning with our interim financial reports for the first quarter of 2027. This standard is not expected to have any significant impact on our results of operations, financial position, cash flow, or related disclosures.
Note 2: Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In thousands, except per share data | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net income available to common shareholders | $65,613 | $77,959 | $199,427 | $180,998 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic | 45,746 | 44,982 | 45,574 | 45,458 |
| Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | 880 | 857 | 820 | 781 |
| Dilutive effect of convertible notes | 34 | — | 11 | — |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted | 46,660 | 45,839 | 46,405 | 46,239 |
| Net income per common share - Basic | $1.43 | $1.73 | $4.38 | $3.98 |
| Net income per common share - Diluted | $1.41 | $1.70 | $4.30 | $3.91 |
Stock-based Awards
For stock-based awards, the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the dilutive effect is computed as if the awards were exercised at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and assumes the related proceeds were used to repurchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Related proceeds include the amount the employee must pay upon exercise and the future compensation cost associated with the stock award. Approximately 16,000 stock-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 because they were anti-dilutive. Approximately 1,000 and 23,000 stock-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 because they were anti-dilutive. These stock-based awards could be dilutive in future periods.
Convertible Notes and Share Hedges
2021 Notes, Warrants and Call Option Transactions
For our convertible notes issued in March 2021 (the 2021 Notes), the dilutive effect is calculated using the if-converted method. We are required, pursuant to the indenture governing the notes, to settle the principal amount in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (stock price in excess of conversion price) in cash, shares, or a combination thereof. Under the if-converted method, we include the number of shares required to satisfy the remaining conversion obligation, assuming all the notes were converted. The average closing prices of our common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on EPS. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 the quarterly average closing prices for our common stock exceeded the conversion price of $126.00, and the dilutive effect is therefore included in the table above. With the three months ended September 30, 2025 being the first period in which the average closing price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price, a weighted average of the quarterly results from the dilutive effect of convertible notes is computed and has been reflected in the table above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we sold warrants to purchase 3.7 million shares of Itron common stock. The warrants have a strike price of $180.00 per share. For calculating the dilutive effect of the warrants, we use the treasury stock method. With this method, we assume exercise of the warrants at the beginning of the period, or at time of issuance if later, and the issuance of common stock upon exercise. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants are assumed to be used to repurchase shares of our stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares, representing the number of shares assumed to be exercised with the warrants less the number of shares repurchased, are included in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For periods where the warrants strike price of $180.00 per share is greater than the average share price of Itron stock for the period, the warrants would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the quarterly average closing prices of our common stock did not exceed the warrant strike price, and therefore 3.7 million shares were considered anti-dilutive.
In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated call option contracts on our common stock (the 2021 call option transactions) with certain commercial banks. The 2021 call option transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2021 Notes, approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the notes, at a strike price of approximately $126.00, subject to customary adjustments. The 2021 call option transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2021 Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination. Exercise of the 2021 call option transactions would reduce the number of shares of our common stock outstanding and therefore would be anti-dilutive.
2024 Notes and Capped Call Transactions
For our convertible notes issued in June 2024 (the 2024 Notes), the dilutive effect is calculated using the if-converted method. We are required, pursuant to the indenture governing our convertible notes, to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (stock price in excess of conversion price) in cash, shares, or a combination thereof. Under the if-converted method, we include the number of shares required to satisfy the remaining conversion obligation, assuming all the convertible notes were converted. The average closing prices of our common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on EPS. The quarterly average closing prices for our common stock did not exceed the conversion price of $131.24, and therefore all associated shares were anti-dilutive.
In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the 2024 capped call transactions) on our common stock with certain commercial banks. The 2024 capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2024 Notes, approximately 6.1 million shares of our common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the convertible notes, at a strike price of approximately $131.2353, subject to customary adjustments. The cap price of the 2024 capped call transactions will initially be $205.86 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported stock price per share of the Company's common stock on June 17, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions. The 2024 capped call transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2024 Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination. Exercise of the 2024 capped call transactions would reduce the number of shares of our common stock outstanding and therefore would be anti-dilutive.

2025 Credit Facility
On September 25, 2025, we entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the 2025 credit facility) providing for committed credit facilities in the amount of$750 million. The 2025 credit facility consists of a multi-currency revolving line of credit (the revolver) in the amount of$750 million. The revolver includes a standby letter of credit sub-facility in the amount of$300 million, and a swingline sub-facility in the amount of$50 million. The 2025 credit facility amends and restates, in its entirety, our amended and restated credit agreement dated January 5, 2018 (the 2018 credit facility).
Any outstanding principal under the revolver is due at maturity on September 25, 2030. Principal amounts paid prior to the maturity date may be reborrowed prior to such date. However, that date may be advanced to April 15, 2030 if we do not settle or extend a sufficient portion of our outstanding convertible notes, as detailed in the credit agreement.
Under the 2025 credit facility, we may elect applicable market interest rates for any outstanding revolving loans. We also pay an applicable margin, which is based on its total net leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The applicable rates per annum may be based on the following: (1)the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus an applicable margin or (2) the Alternate Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. The Alternate Base Rate election is equal to the greatest of three rates: (i)the prime rate, (ii)the Federal Reserve effective rate plus 0.50%, or (iii)SOFR plus 1.00%. Committed amounts not borrowed under the revolver are subject to a commitment fee (paid quarterly in arrears). The spreads applicable to SOFR and the annual committee fee rates are, as follows:
| Total Net Leverage Ratio | Interest Rate | Commitment Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Greater than 3.50 | SOFR + 175.0 bps | 30.0 bps |
| 2.51 to 3.50 | SOFR + 150.0 bps | 25.0 bps |
| 1.51 to 2.50 | SOFR + 137.5 bps | 20.0 bps |
| Less than or equal to 1.50 | SOFR + 125.0 bps | 17.5 bps |
The 2025 credit facility permits us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries to borrow in U.S. dollars, euros, or, with lender approval, other currencies readily convertible into U.S. dollars. All obligations under the 2025 credit facility are guaranteed by Itron, Inc. and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Itron, Inc. and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. This included a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of material U.S. domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the voting stock (100% of the non-voting stock) of first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of any foreign subsidiary who is a foreign borrower, as defined by the 2025 credit facility, are guaranteed by the foreign subsidiary and by its direct and indirect foreign parents. The 2025 credit facility includes debt covenants, which contained certain financial thresholds and placed certain restrictions on the incurrence of debt, investments, and the issuance of dividends. We are in compliance with the debt covenants under the 2025 credit facility at September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, there wereno outstanding loan balances under the 2025 credit facility, and $45.1 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit, resulting in $704.9 million available for additional borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, $254.9 million was available for additional standby letters of credit under the letter of credit sub-facility, and no amounts were outstanding under the swingline sub-facility.
2018 Credit Facility
The 2018 credit facility, entered on January 5, 2018 (as amended, the 2018 credit facility), originally provided for committed credit facilities in the amount of $1.2 billion. This facility consisted of a multicurrency revolving line of credit (the revolver) with a principal amount of up to $500 million. The revolver also contained a $300 million standby letter of credit sub-facility and a $50 million swingline sub-facility. The $650 million U.S. dollar term loan (the term loan) included in the original facility was fully repaid in August 2021.
The 2018 credit facility permitted us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries to borrow in U.S. dollars, euros, or, with lender approval, other currencies readily convertible into U.S. dollars. All obligations under the 2018 credit facility were guaranteed by Itron, Inc. and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries and were secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Itron, Inc. and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. This includes a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of material U.S. domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the voting stock (100% of the non-voting stock) of first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of any foreign subsidiary who was a foreign borrower, as defined by the 2018 credit facility, were guaranteed by the foreign subsidiary and by its direct and indirect foreign parents. The 2018 credit facility included debt covenants, which contained certain financial thresholds and place certain restrictions on the incurrence of debt, investments, and the issuance of dividends. We were in compliance with the debt covenants under the 2018 credit facility at the time of the amendment.
Under the 2018 credit facility, we elected applicable market interest rates for both the term loan and any outstanding revolving loans. We also paid an applicable margin, which is based on our total net leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The applicable rates per annum may be based on either: (1)the LIBOR rate or EURIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 0%), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the Alternate Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. The Alternate Base Rate election is equal to the greatest of three rates: (i)the prime rate, (ii)the Federal Reserve effective rate plus 0.50%, or (iii)one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The cessation of LIBOR occurred in June 2023. On November 23, 2022, we amended the 2018 credit facility to replace the LIBOR rate with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the base interest rate. On February 21, 2023, we entered into a sixth amendment to the 2018 credit facility. This amendment modified debt covenant provisions to allow for the addback of non-recurring cash expenses related to restructuring charges incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. On October 13, 2023, we entered into a seventh amendment to extend the maturity date to October 18, 2026. However, that date may be advanced to December 14, 2025 if Itron does not settle or extend a sufficient portion of outstanding convertible notes as detailed in the amendment. In addition, the amendment revises the interest cost, as follows:
| Total Net Leverage Ratio | Interest Rate | Commitment Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Greater than 4.00 | SOFR + 250 bps | 40 bps |
| 3.51 to 4.00 | SOFR + 225 bps | 35 bps |
| 2.51 to 3.50 | SOFR + 200 bps | 30 bps |
| Less than or equal to 2.50 | SOFR + 175 bps | 25 bps |
On June 14, 2024, we entered into an eighth amendment of the 2018 credit facility. In contemplation of the issuance of the 2024 convertible notes, this amendment to the Credit Agreement removed the $500 million maximum amount of convertible notes we could offer.
Convertible Notes
2021 Notes
On March 12, 2021, we closed the sale of $460 million of convertible notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to us of $448.5 million after deducting initial purchasers' discounts of the offering. The 2021 Notes do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount does not accrete. The 2021 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms. No sinking fund is provided for the 2021 Notes.
The initial conversion rate of the 2021 Notes is 7.9365 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $126.00 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes) or upon a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its convertible notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2025, the 2021 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or (4) upon redemption by us. On or after December 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding March 15, 2026, holders of the 2021 Notes may convert all or a portion of their notes at any time. Upon conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount to be converted and pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted.
Subsequent to March 20, 2024 and prior to December 15, 2025, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 2021 Notes, at our option, if the last reported sales price of common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related notice of the redemption. The redemption price of each convertible note to be redeemed will be the principal amount of such note, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes), subject to a limited exception described in the indenture governing the convertible notes, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes).
The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the convertible notes. The convertible notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The convertible notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing debt and any future debt and any other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
2024 Notes
On June 21, 2024, we closed the sale of $805 million of convertible notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to us of $784 million after deducting initial purchasers' discounts of the offering. The 2024 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2024 Notes mature on July 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.
The initial conversion rate of the 2024 Notes is 7.6199 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $131.24 per share. The conversion rate of the notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes) or upon a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 15, 2030, the 2024 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or (4) upon redemption by us. On or after April 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding July 15, 2030, holders of the notes may convert all or a portion of their notes at any time. Upon conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted.
Subsequent to July 20, 2028 and prior to April 15, 2030, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 2024 Notes, at our option, if the last reported sales price of common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related notice of the redemption. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send related redemption notices. The redemption price of each note to be redeemed will be the principal amount of such note, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes), subject to a limited exception described in the indenture governing the notes, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes).
The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing debt and any future debt and any other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

Note 7: Derivative Financial Instruments
As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Refer to Note 13: Shareholders' Equity and Note 14: Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional disclosures on our derivative instruments.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Relationships
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk when we enter into non-functional currency transactions, both intercompany and third party. At each period-end, non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued with the change recognized within other income (expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We enter into monthly foreign exchange forward contracts, which are not designated for hedge accounting, with the intent to reduce earnings volatility associated with currency exposures. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 35 contracts were offsetting our exposures from the euro, pound sterling, Indonesian rupiah, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and various other currencies, with notional amounts ranging from $104,080 to $33.2 million.
We will continue to monitor and assess our interest rate and foreign exchange risk and may institute additional derivative instruments to manage such risk in the future.
Note 8: Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We sponsor both funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans offering death and disability, retirement, and special termination benefits for certain of our international employees, primarily in Germany, France, India, and Indonesia. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by using the projected unit credit method. The measurement date for the pension plans was December 31, 2024.
Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of:
| In thousands | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

| Long-term portion of pension benefit obligation | 65,733 | 59,537 |
| Pension benefit obligation, net | $70,488 | $63,527 |
Our asset investment strategy focuses on maintaining a portfolio using primarily insurance funds, which are accounted for as investments and measured at fair value, in order to achieve our long-term investment objectives on a risk adjusted basis. Our general funding policy for these qualified pension plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards of the respective countries for each plan.
Net periodic pension benefit cost for our plans include the following components:

The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are included in total other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation
We grant stock-based compensation awards, including restricted stock units, phantom stock, and unrestricted stock units, under the Second Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (Stock Incentive Plan). Prior to December 31, 2020, stock options were also granted as part of the stock-based compensation awards. In the Stock Incentive Plan, we have 13,991,273 shares of common stock authorized for issuance subject to stock splits, dividends, and other similar events, and at September 30, 2025,3,851,003 shares were available for grant. We issue new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options or when vesting conditions on restricted stock units are fully satisfied. These shares are subject to a fungible share provision such that the authorized share available for grant under the Plan is reduced by (i)one share for every one share subject to a stock option or share appreciation right granted and (ii)1.7 shares for every one share of common stock that was subject to an award other than an option or share appreciation right.
We also award phantom stock units, which are settled in cash upon vesting and accounted for as liability-based awards, with no impact to the shares available for grant.
In addition, we maintain the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), for which 449,335 shares of common stock were available for future issuance at September 30, 2025.
ESPP activity and stock-based grants other than restricted stock units were not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

At September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense on restricted stock units was $50.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.
The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units granted with a service and market condition and the resulting weighted average fair value are as follows:

| Expected term (years) | 2.9 | 2.9 |
| Weighted average fair value | $105.89 | $83.26 |
Note 10: Income Taxes
We determine the interim tax benefit (provision) by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pretax book income (loss) and adjusting for discrete items during the reporting period, if any. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized, as well as significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that are separately reported, are excluded from the annual effective tax rate.
Our tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of 27% and 22%, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the forecasted mix of earnings in domestic and international jurisdictions, the effect of cross-border tax laws, nondeductible executive compensation, a benefit related to stock-based compensation, tax credits, state taxes, and uncertain tax positions.
Our tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 4% and 15%, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the forecasted mix of earnings in domestic and international jurisdictions, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings including GILTI (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income) tax, net of Section 250 deduction (largely driven by research and development capitalization), Subpart F income, a benefit related to stock-based compensation, tax credits, state taxes, and uncertain tax positions. Approximately $14 million in discrete tax benefits were recorded related to the favorable resolution of a foreign tax audit in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
A sweeping legislative package formally titled "An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14" (the "Act"), and commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law on July 4, 2025. Since ASC 740 requires the income tax effects of a change in tax law to be recognized in the period of enactment, this Act is incorporated into our annual effective tax rate and current and expected cash taxes as of September 30, 2025. Included in our effective tax rate this quarter is an increase of approximately $4 million in full year tax expense, and a reduction in forecasted cash taxes of approximately $45 million from amounts calculated before passage of the Act. These results are driven by numerous changes to existing tax law that are retroactive to 2025, including provisions for the current deductibility of certain property additions and deductibility of current and previously capitalized domestic research and development costs. Additionally, multiple changes are effective beginning in 2026 and we are continuing to evaluate the impacts they will have on our subsequent consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidance under the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative aims to minimize perceived tax abuses and modernize global tax policy, including the implementation of a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. In December 2022, the Council of the European Union adopted OECD Pillar 2 for implementation by European Union member states by December 31, 2023. The resulting legislation in most countries where Itron has significant operations took effect for calendar year 2024. The OECD continues to release more guidance on these rules and framework and we are evaluating the impact to our financial position. These enactments or amendments could adversely affect our tax rate and ultimately result in a negative impact on our operating results and cash flows. Consistent with calculations for calendar year 2024, the Company anticipates it will meet the safe harbors in most jurisdictions in 2025, and any remaining top-up tax should be immaterial.
We classify interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest income on tax overpayments as components of income tax expense. The net interest and penalties expense recognized were as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In thousands | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net interest and penalties expense | $1,498 | $(5,508) | $3,548 | $(4,020) |
Accrued interest and penalties recognized were as follows:
| In thousands | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued interest | $10,166 | $6,418 |
| Accrued penalties | 190 | 293 |
Unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions and the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate were as follows:
| In thousands | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions | $98,584 | $106,132 |
| The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate | 98,572 | 106,122 |
Subsequent to quarter end, the statute of limitations expired on an uncertain tax position related to certain corporate transactions. As a result, we will recognize a tax benefit of approximately $39 million in the fourth quarter.
At September 30, 2025, we are under examination by certain tax authorities. We believe we have appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of all tax matters and do not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, future results of operations, or cash flows.
We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions where we are subject to examination include, among others, the United States, France, Germany, India, Italy, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.
Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees and Indemnifications
We are often required to obtain standby letters of credit (LOCs) or bonds in support of our obligations for customer contracts. These standby LOCs or bonds typically provide a guarantee to the customer for our future performance, which usually covers the installation phase of a contract and may, on occasion, cover the operations and maintenance phase of outsourcing contracts.
Our available lines of credit, outstanding standby LOCs, and bonds were as follows:
| In thousands | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

| Net available for additional borrowings and LOCs | $70,854 | $67,689 |
| Unsecured surety bonds in force | $382,101 | $363,097 |
In the event any such standby LOC or bond were called, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the standby LOC or bond. As of October 30, 2025, we are not aware of any valid claims against our outstanding standby LOCs or bonds.
We generally provide an indemnification related to the infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right on software or equipment within our sales contracts, which indemnifies the customer from, and pays the resulting costs, damages, and attorney's fees awarded against a customer with respect to, such a claim provided that (a) the customer promptly notifies us in writing of the claim and (b) we have the sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations. We may also provide an indemnification to our customers for third-party claims resulting from damages caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of our employees/agents in connection with the performance of certain contracts. The terms of our indemnifications generally do not limit the maximum potential payments. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements.
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims of which the outcomes are subject to significant uncertainty. Our policy is to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the liability required, if any, for these contingencies is made after an analysis of each known issue. A liability would be recognized and charged to operating expense when we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we disclose contingencies for which a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable.

Note 12: Restructuring
2023 Projects
On February 23, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the 2023 Projects). The 2023 Projects include activities that continue Itron's efforts to optimize its global supply chain and manufacturing operations, sales and marketing organizations, and other overhead. These projects were substantially complete as of March 31, 2025.
The total expected restructuring costs, the restructuring costs recognized, and the remaining expected restructuring costs related to the 2023 Projects were as follows:
| In thousands | Total Expected Costs at September 30, 2025 | Costs Recognized in Prior Periods | Adjustments Recognized During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Expected Remaining Costs to be Recognized at September 30, 2025 |

| Ending balance, September 30, 2025 | $20,981 | $— | $3,953 | $24,934 |
Asset impairments are determined at the asset group level. Revenues and net operating income from the activities we have exited or will exit under the restructuring projects are not material to our operating segments or consolidated results.
Certain of Itron's employees are represented by unions or works councils, which requires consultation, and potential restructuring projects may be subject to regulatory approval, both of which could impact the timing of planned savings in certain jurisdictions.
Other restructuring costs include expenses for employee relocation, professional fees associated with employee severance, costs to exit the facilities once the operations in those facilities have ceased, and other costs associated with the liquidation of any affected legal entities. Costs associated with restructuring activities are generally presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as restructuring, except for certain costs associated with inventory write-downs, which are classified within cost of revenues, and accelerated depreciation expense, which is recognized according to the use of the asset. Restructuring expense is recognized within the Corporate unallocated segment and does not impact the results of our operating segments.
The current portions of restructuring liabilities were $18.1 million and $24.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and are classified within other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portions of restructuring liabilities were $6.8 million and $17.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The long-term portions of restructuring liabilities are classified within other long-term obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and include severance accruals and facility exit costs.
Note 13: Shareholders' Equity
Preferred Stock
We have authorized the issuance of 10 million shares of preferred stock withno par value. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up the affairs of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of any outstanding preferred stock would be entitled to be paid a preferential amount per share to be determined by the Board of Directors prior to any payment to holders of common stock. There wasno preferred stock issued or outstanding at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Effective September 19, 2024, Itron's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock over an 18-month period (the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program). The repurchase program is intended to comply with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have repurchasedno shares under the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program.
Effective May 11, 2023, Itron's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock over an 18-month period (the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program). In June 2024, we repurchased 971,534 shares under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program at an average price of $102.93 (excluding commissions) for a total of $100.0 million. This repurchase was completed in conjunction with the issuance of the 2024 convertible notes.
2021 Call Option Transactions
We paid an aggregate amount of $84.1 million for the 2021 call option transactions. The 2021 call option transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2021 Notes, approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the 2021 Notes, at a strike price of approximately $126.00, subject to customary adjustments. The 2021 call option transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2021 Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination. The 2021 call option transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of our 2021 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2021 call option transactions, is greater than the strike price of the 2021 call option transactions. The 2021 call option transactions meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be classified within Stockholders' Equity, and therefore they are not revalued after their issuance.
We made a tax election to integrate the 2021 Notes and the 2021 call option transactions. We are retaining the identification statements in our books and records, together with a schedule providing the accruals on the synthetic debt instruments. The accounting impact of this tax election makes the call options deductible as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the 2021 Notes, and results in a $20.6 million deferred tax asset recognized through equity.
Warrant Transactions
In addition, concurrently with entering into the 2021 call option transactions, we separately entered into privately-negotiated warrant transactions (the warrant transactions), whereby we sold to the counterparties warrants to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments,3.7 million shares of our common stock at an initial strike price of $180.00 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the public offering price in the common stock issuance. We received aggregate proceeds of $45.3 million from the warrant transactions with the counterparties, with such proceeds partially offsetting the costs of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions. The warrants expire in June 2026. If the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrants will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The warrants meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be classified within Stockholders' Equity, and therefore the warrants are not revalued after issuance.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions on our common stock with certain commercial banks. The 2024 capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2024 Notes, approximately 6.1 million shares of our common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the convertible notes, at a strike price of approximately $131.2353, subject to customary adjustments. The cap price of the 2024 capped call transactions will initially be $205.86 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported stock price per share of the Company's common stock on June 17, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions. The 2024 capped call transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2024 Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination.
We made a tax election to integrate the 2024 Notes and the 2024 capped call transactions. We are retaining the identification statements in our books and records, together with a schedule providing the accruals on the synthetic debt instruments. The accounting impact of this tax election makes the capped call transactions deductible as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the 2024 Notes, and results in a $26.7 million deferred tax asset recognized through equity.

Note 14: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 do not reflect subsequent changes in the economy, interest rates, tax rates, and other variables that may affect the determination of fair value.
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In thousands | CarryingAmount | FairValue | CarryingAmount | FairValue |
| Credit facility | ||||
| Multicurrency revolving line of credit | $— | $— | $— | $— |
| Convertible notes | 1,246,834 | 1,413,549 | 1,242,424 | 1,330,670 |
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair values:
Cash and cash equivalents: Due to the liquid nature of these instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value (Level 1).
Credit facility - multicurrency revolving line of credit: The revolver is not traded publicly. The fair values, which are determined based upon a hypothetical market participant, are calculated using a discounted cash flow model with Level 2 inputs, including estimates of incremental borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, maturities, and credit profiles. Refer to Note 6: Debt for further discussion of our debt.
Convertible notes: The convertible notes are not listed on any securities exchange but may be actively traded. The fair value is estimated using Level 1 inputs, as it is based on quoted prices for these instruments in active markets.
Derivatives: Each derivative asset and liability has a carrying value equal to fair value. The fair values of our derivative instruments are determined using the income approach and significant other observable inputs (and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). We have used observable market inputs based on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The key inputs include foreign exchange spot and forward rates, all of which are available in an active market. We have utilized the mid-market pricing convention for these inputs.
Note 15: Segment Information
We operate under the Itron brand worldwide and manage and report under three operating segments: Device Solutions, Networked Solutions, and Outcomes. We define these segments based on the structure in which internally reported financial information is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to analyze financial performance, make strategic decisions, and allocate resources. The Company's CODM is the chief executive officer.
Segment Products
Device Solutions – This segment primarily includes hardware products used for measurement, control, or sensing that can have communications capability embedded for use with our broader Itron systems, i.e., hardware-based products that may be part of a complete end-to-end solution. Examples from the Device Solutions portfolio include: standard endpoints that are shipped without Itron communications, such as our standard electricity, gas, and water meters for a variety of global markets and adhering to regulations and standards within those markets, as well as our heat and allocation products; communicating meters that may be sold as part of an Itron end-to-end solution and designed to meet market requirements; and the implementation and installation of communicating and non-communicating devices.
Networked Solutions – This segment primarily includes a combination of communicating devices (e.g., smart meters, modules, endpoints, and sensors), network infrastructure, network design services, and associated headend management and application software designed and sold as a complete solution for acquiring and transporting robust application-specific data. Networked Solutions includes products, software and services for the implementation, installation, and management of communicating devices and data networks. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions supported by this segment include automated meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for electricity, water, and gas; distributed energy resource management (DERMs); grid edge devices; distribution automation communications; smart lighting; and smart city sensors and applications. Our IIoT platform allows utility and smart city applications to be run and managed on a flexible, secure, and interoperable multi-purpose network.
Outcomes – This segment primarily includes our value-added, enhanced software and services in which we enable grid edge intelligence and manage, organize, analyze, and interpret raw, anonymized data using artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical modeling, and other analytics. This delivers new value for utilities and smart cities through improving decision making, maximizing operational profitability, engaging consumers, enhancing resource efficiency, and improving grid resiliency and reliability. Outcomes supports high-value use cases, such as data management, grid operations, distributed intelligence, AMI operations, gas distribution and safety, water operations management, revenue assurance, DERMs, energy forecasting, consumer engagement, smart payment, and fleet energy resource management. Utilities leverage these outcomes to unlock the capabilities of their networks and devices, improve the productivity of their workforce, increase the reliability of their operations, manage and optimize the proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), address grid complexity, and enhance the customer experience. Revenue from these offerings are primarily recurring in nature and would include any direct management of Device Solutions, Networked Solutions, and other third-parties' products on behalf of our end customers.
The CODM assesses the segments' performance primarily by using each segment's revenues and gross profit (gross margin). Intersegment revenues are minimal. Certain operating expenses are allocated to the operating segments based upon internally established allocation methodologies. Corporate operating expenses, interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), and the income tax provision (benefit) are neither allocated to the segments, nor are they included in the measure of segment performance. Goodwill impairment charges are recognized in Corporate unallocated. No asset information for reportable segments is provided to the CODM. We do not manage the performance of the segments on a balance sheet basis.
The CODM assesses revenues and gross profit for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and periodic forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances for these measures when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM primarily uses segment gross profit for evaluating pricing strategy and the performance of each segment.

Note 16: Revenues
A summary of significant net changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period is as follows:
| In thousands | Contract Liabilities, Less Contract Assets |
|---|---|
| Beginning balance, January 1, 2025 | $127,557 |
| Revenues recognized from beginning contract liability | (68,350) |
| Cumulative catch-up adjustments | (2,432) |
| Increases due to amounts collected or due | 261,875 |
| Revenues recognized from current period increases | (153,312) |
| Other | 1,285 |
| Ending balance, September 30, 2025 | $166,623 |
On January 1, 2025, total contract assets were $65.4 million and total contract liabilities were $193.0 million. On September 30, 2025, total contract assets were $60.6 million and total contract liabilities were $227.2 million. The contract assets primarily relate to contracts that include a retention clause and allocations related to contracts with multiple performance obligations. The contract liabilities primarily relate to deferred revenue, such as extended warranty and maintenance agreements. The cumulative catch-up adjustments relate to contract modifications, measure-of-progress changes, and changes in the estimate of the transaction price.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents committed but undelivered products and services for contracts and purchase orders at period end. Twelve-month remaining performance obligations represent the portion of total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that we estimate will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not a complete measure of our future revenues as we also receive orders where the customer may have legal termination rights but are not likely to terminate.
Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to contracts is approximately $1.0 billion for the next 12 months and approximately $1.0 billion for periods longer than 12 months. The total remaining performance obligations consist of product and service components. The service component relates primarily to maintenance agreements for which customers pay a full year's maintenance in advance, and service revenues are generally recognized over the service period. Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations also includes our extended warranty contracts, for which revenue is recognized over the extended warranty period, and hardware, which is recognized as units are delivered. The estimate of when remaining performance obligations will be recognized requires significant judgment.
Cost to obtain a contract and cost to fulfill a contract with a customer
Cost to obtain a contract and costs to fulfill a contract were capitalized and amortized using a systematic rational approach to align with the transfer of control of underlying contracts with customers. While amounts were capitalized, they are not material.
Disaggregation of revenue
Refer to Note 15: Segment Information and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for disclosure regarding the disaggregation of revenue into categories, which depict how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Specifically, our operating segments and geographical regions as disclosed, and categories for products, which include hardware and software and services, are presented.
Note 17: Subsequent Events
On October 6, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding equity of Urbint, Inc., a privately held software and services company, based in Florida, serving utilities. The acquisition provides value to Itron through the leverage of Urbint's AI-powered operational resilience solutions to enhance our offerings to our customers. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The purchase price for the acquisition is $325 million, with adjustment for final working capital and other closing considerations to be determined following the transaction's close. The purchase will be funded through cash on hand.
