  <section id="lawsuit-summary">
    <h3>What Is The Lawsuit About?</h3>
    <p>The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026, inclusive ("the Class Period"). The lawsuit alleges that Badger Meter's financial results were at least partially attributable to the Company's practice of pulling forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported. However, the Company had previously told investors that Badger Meter's financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution." They likewise touted "strong" demand and said they were seeing "robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth," and that Badger Meter possessed a "long runway" for growth.</p>

    <p>On <strong>July 22, 2025</strong>, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial results for <strong>2Q 2025</strong>, including earnings per share ("EPS") below consensus estimates, declining revenue growth, deteriorating margins, and warned "we expect absolute sales to decline sequentially in the third quarter of 2025." The Company said it was "simply the nature of the business" and blamed a gap caused by the completion of certain large advanced metering infrastructure ("AMI") projects and delays in the start of others while stating "our funnel remains as robust as ever" and that demand softness was "not a concern." On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by <strong>$40.42</strong> per share, or approximately <strong>17%</strong>, from <strong>$245.22</strong> per share on July 21, 2025 to close at <strong>$204.80</strong> on July 22, 2025.</p>

    <p>On <strong>January 28, 2026</strong>, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial results for <strong>4Q 2025</strong>, including missed revenue expectations and a "<strong>6%</strong> sequential decline in utility water sales." However, the Company continued to blame the poor results on "<strong>previously communicated project pacing effects</strong>." On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by <strong>$18.09</strong> per share, or approximately <strong>11%</strong>, from <strong>$164.41</strong> per share on January 27, 2026 to close at <strong>$146.32</strong> on January 28, 2026.</p>

    <p>Finally, on <strong>April 17, 2026</strong>, Badger Meter reported disappointing 1Q 2026 financial results including that total sales were "<strong>9%</strong> lower than the prior year[]," "[u]tility water sales declined 10% year-over-year," "[o]perating earnings of $35.2 million, with an operating margin of 17.4%, compared to operating earnings of $49.4 million and an operating margin of 22.2% in the prior year," and "[d]iluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.93, down from $1.30 in the first quarter of 2025." The Company blamed "project timing," but also disclosed that "softer shortcycle municipal customer ordering" contributed to the disappointing financial results. The Company also revealed that the "variability" in short-cycle demand seen in 1Q 2026 "has always existed, inclusive of [the] 2023 to 2025 time frame" but claimed it was "less visible in the revenue outcomes because of the backlog condition combined with projects in flight." On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by <strong>$36.75</strong> per share, or approximately <strong>24%</strong>, from <strong>$152.29</strong> per share on April 16, 2026 to close at <strong>$115.54</strong> on April 17, 2026.</p>
