insight to our current and future operating and financial environment may materially change and we do not undertake any duty to update any of our forward-looking statements Good morning and thank you for joining our call Itron performed well during the first quarter as favorable product mix and continued strong execution supported margin expansion and earnings growth ahead of expectations The team is focused on the execution of our strategy and the results from the past quarter further demonstrate its effectiveness Financial highlights for the first quarter are detailed on Slide 4 and include revenue of $607 million The record gross margin and strong earnings growth were driven by our disciplined manufacturing and the ability to meet our customers’ core needs for robust solutions for their mission-critical operating challenges Customer demand for our solutions is driven by the breadth of our offerings particularly customer adoption of Itron’s grid edge intelligence platform Our customers are benefiting from increased distribution capacity improved infrastructure agility and enhanced reliability of successful scale deployments Bookings in the first quarter of $530 million were in line with our expectations and equate to a book-to-bill of 0.9:1 for the quarter This is an increase of $169 million when compared to last year our $4.7 billion backlog at quarter end remained near record levels The Network Solutions and Outcomes segments continue to dominate our bookings representing over 95% of our total backlog Deployment of distributed intelligence solutions also continued during the quarter And by quarter end we have shipped 14.4 million distributed intelligence capable endpoints with another $10-plus million in backlog Some of the key bookings for the quarter include a major project with long-time customer FirstEnergy which will expand infrastructure to detect and locate outages more quickly and enhance data management solutions These improvements will provide consumers with more detailed information enabling them to better understand and control their energy usage Itron will support a grid modernization project for public service company of New Mexico the state’s largest electricity provider This project will deliver several benefits including distributed intelligence capabilities to enhance efficiency resilience and security of PNM’s operation It will also enable real-time energy usage information for consumers and improve the integration of distributed energy resources Before I turn the call over to Joan to cover the financials I want to briefly discuss the tariff landscape from both a demand and bottom line perspective we have not seen a change in customer behavior to this point While we are mindful that prolonged uncertainty could ultimately impact demand our customers currently remain focused on addressing the critical needs in the management of energy and water our regional supply strategy is serving us well The great majority of our global manufacturing is done regionally we do import components from global sources with Mexico being the largest country of origin for components used in US products Our Mexico imports are generally USMCA compliant and currently not subject to tariffs The EBITDA impact for the year under the current tariff protocol is estimated to be approximately $15 million net of mitigation measures such as alternate sourcing and pricing adjustments It is important to note that the tariff environment is extremely dynamic and the current estimate may change we remain balanced and well positioned to drive our business forward Now Joan will provide details for our first quarter and our outlook for the second quarter Please turn to Slide 7 for a summary of consolidated GAAP results First quarter revenue of $607 million increased 1% year-over-year Recall that Q1 of 2024 included a significant amount of previously supply-constrained revenue Gross margin of 35.8% was a quarterly record and was 180 basis points higher than last year due to a favorable product mix and operational efficiencies GAAP net income of $65 million or $1.42 per diluted share compared to $52 million or $1.12 per share in the prior year The improvement was driven by higher levels of operating and interest income non-GAAP operating income of $80 million increased 19% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA of $88 million increased 15% and our EBITDA margin of 14.5% was a company record Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $70 million or $1.52 per diluted share versus $1.24 a year ago Free cash flow was $67 million in Q1 versus $34 million a year ago This improvement reflects strong year-over-year operational earnings growth increased interest income and improved working capital Year-over-year revenue growth by business segment is on Slide 9 Network Solutions revenue decreased 1% year-over-year primarily due to a higher-than-normal Q1 2024 level which included the catch-up of previously constrained revenue Moving to the non-GAAP year-over-year EPS bridge on Slide 10 Our Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $1.52 per diluted share increased $0.28 year-over-year Pretax operating performance contributed a $0.40 per share increase primarily driven by the fall-through of higher gross profit Higher tax expense had a negative year-over-year impact of $0.11 per share and FX and share count had a negative impact of $0.01 per share I’ll review Q1 segment results compared with the prior year This segment’s product portfolio continues to shift away from legacy electric products towards smart water sales which helped drive gross margin of 30% and operating margin of 24.2% Gross margin increased 630 basis points year-over-year and operating margin was up 710 basis points due to favorable product mix and lower operating expenses Network Solutions revenue was $403 million with gross margin of 36.9% and operating margin of 28.8% Gross margin decreased 20 basis points year-over-year due to product mix but operating margin increased 20 basis points due to lower operating expenses gross margin was 39.2% and operating margin was 18.2% Gross margin increased 410 basis points year-on-year and operating margin was up 510 basis points due to a higher margin revenue mix and operating leverage I’ll review liquidity and debt at the end of the first quarter Total debt was $1.265 billion and net debt was $142 million net leverage was 0.4x and cash and equivalents were $1.1 billion Now please turn to Slide 15 for our second quarter outlook We anticipate Q2 revenue to be within a range of $605 million to $615 million which at the midpoint is flat versus last year We anticipate second quarter non-GAAP earnings per share to be within a range of $1.30 to $1.40 per diluted share which at the midpoint is approximately 12% year-over-year growth Although macroeconomic and trade policy uncertainty has increased over the past quarter Itron is well positioned to navigate near-term uncertainty Our results over the past two-plus years clearly demonstrate that our strategic focus and operational execution aligns with the needs of our customers Our portfolio provides clear value to utilities and cities facing numerous environmental operational and consumer challenges Periods of uncertainty and disruption favor the well prepared Our multiyear efforts to optimize our factory footprint and portfolio strengthen our supply chain resilience and grow recurring revenue have positioned us to capitalize on future opportunities We expect to strengthen our industry leadership through continued deployment of innovative solutions ensuring that Itron remains a partner of choice for utilities and cities well into the future [Operator Instructions] And our first question is coming from the line of Noah Kaye with Oppenheimer It’s obviously the topic in focus this earnings season Tom I appreciate you dimensioning the expected EBITDA impact of the tariffs for this year If my math is right kind of call that maybe $0.25 impact to the bottom-line I know you don’t typically update full year guidance until 2Q But just given the strength of 1Q and what you’re expecting for 2Q are you messaging here that despite sort of these net impacts of the tariffs you still feel comfortable with the full year guide You’re already going to be over halfway to meeting the midpoint as we get through 2Q I would say that it’s probably premature to update our full year guidance Our normal practice is to do it after we announce second quarter earnings I would put it in context though and say that first quarter ahead of expectations on the bottom-line and so is the second We are cognizant that tariffs are out there and I suppose they could change from what we see today But it’s all in the mix of where we are So I would say it’s a little premature to update the full year at this point The only thing I would add is if you look at where the EPS consensus set prior to us announcing today and then look at our Q2 guidance for the first half of the year the EPS for Q1 plus the midpoint of the guidance we just gave for Q2 is up 10% versus where the consensus had been So there’s puts and takes obviously as we go through the year I think you called out Joan that those record margins for the segment and certainly mix shift is a factor We’re now I think meaningfully above kind of the long-term gross margin target for the segment How should we think about kind of the right level for segment margins going forward I mean again it’s a little premature to update the targets we had for 2027 They are absolutely ahead of where we expected them to be and have done a great job kind of pruning the portfolio and shifting the mix So premature to say is it always going to be 30% You’re still going to get variability from quarter-to-quarter We have a heat and allocation business that tends to have its highest seasonal quarter in Q1 that has better margins than average So it’s going to bump around a little bit we’re very pleased with the progress in the devices business Our next question coming from the line of Ben Kallo with R.W My first question was just on the 12-month backlog that you took out of there Or how should we think about coverage for the next four quarters or the rest of the year I wouldn’t read anything into it at all We took it out of the investor presentation as we didn’t think it was all that much It was probably confusing people more often than not because it does bounce around quite a bit More broadly though getting to your real question the outlook that we have in front of us still looks good The demand environment has not changed over the last 90 days Opportunities are still there and we feel good about the track that we’re on Our customers are very much focused on dealing with the urgency of the issues that are in front of them The only caveat I would put on that is I suppose the macro environment could drag things down later on in the year and that’s the uncertainty that we and probably every other company faces But I like the ZIP code we’re in and the trajectory looks good My follow-up and I get this question a lot is just on the regulatory environment state-by-state in the United States allowing software to be capitalized or put in the rate base And just — anything you could talk about that or other ways that utilities are moving forward with buying software from you guys Because in the past it seemed like that was a harder sell as opposed to the network So anything you could talk about if it’s region specific that would be helpful as well So outcomes growth for us was up 14% year-over-year That’s I think our fourth quarter in a row of double-digit year-over-year growth probably seven out of the last eight quarters double digits So it’s absolutely happening and we are obviously anxious to keep that trajectory going if not accelerate it When it comes to the regulatory environment we’ve got to structure the deals in the right way to make sure that it works for our customers’ business plan as well as ours There are ways to have those purchases be included in rate bases most of the time And indeed that’s what you see flowing through our P&L It depends on the state and that’s the plumbing that they’ve got to work through on their side Oftentimes it is in the form of term licenses over a certain period of time It could be performance-based rates where I think we’re creeping up on 40 states out of the 50 now allow some sort of performance-based rate So again the mechanism can vary state-to-state or customer-to-customer but the trajectory that we’ve seen over the last couple of years has been good The regulatory environment remains constructive for our customers and we’ll look to continue to support them as they advance on their needs Our next question coming from the line of Jeff Osborne with TD Cowen Just maybe two quick ones on the tariff environment the $15 million is that incorporating just the current 10% tariff Or does that contemplate any potential changes on July nine to the reciprocal environment Tom Deitrich: That $15 million net of mitigation measures includes what we do in terms of changing our country of origin on sourcing But when it comes to the tariff protocol itself it is — what is in effect today is what’s assumed in that So it does include the USMCA exemption meaning you don’t pay on that the 10% baseline tariffs contribute and then the China tariffs that are pretty high on a percentage basis not that our imports from China are huge but it doesn’t take a lot to have that contribute to the cost basis itself Section 232 and the IEEPA emergency power tariffs that are in effect today I think years ago you used to make your own printed circuit board assemblies in South Carolina and then move that to Mexico I know you’re not updating guidance but is there — with the mitigation measures is there any increase in CapEx that we should be contemplating Our CapEx load is pretty stable and it will ride along based on new product introductions and things of that sort but I wouldn’t look for any material change Is that something that you on a state-by-state basis have to appeal to regulators for or utility does on your behalf Maybe just walk us through the mechanics there and the risk to that Tom Deitrich: The pricing that we have in place is really where we have flexibility and some of those tough lessons that we learned back during COVID in terms of how to increase the amount of flexibility we have in terms of the pricing changes we can make along the way So no change in terms of how we have been operating for the last couple of years But obviously as the macro environment changes we’ll make some pricing adjustments accordingly I’m not aware of any time that customers are going back to the regulators based on that in terms of what has happened to-date and our next question coming from the line of Hilary Cauley with Guggenheim looking at this revenue push-out that you had last year I’m trying to recall how much of that was in Q2 and whether you might be able to help us understand what an organic year-on-year comp might look like adjusting for that really impressive outcome here in terms of the gross and the operating margin for your Outcomes segment Obviously some of that’s trimming the portfolio and so forth But how should we think about revenue fall-through in that part of the business going forward Joan Hooper: So let me start with — I think the first question was how did the constrained revenue flow through in 2024 We had about $85 million in Q1 and about $40 million in Q2 And then essentially we were caught up by the first half In terms of – you mentioned portfolio trimming so that would have been devices more than outcomes So just to clarify which one you’re looking at we’re really ahead of where we expected to be I really can’t promise that we’re going to be at 30% gross margins every quarter but I think certainly high 20s is our expectation And it flows through nicely because they’ve been trimming their OpEx as well we’re still looking for that segment to be in the kind of the mid-40s gross margin And as we’ve talked about quarter-to-quarter you’ll get some variability in that based on the software mix in the quarter Joe Osha: If I may and thank you for clarifying on the year-on-year comps they don’t quite imply that you’re going to be at that mid-40s gross margins on the Outcomes segment and you’ve just posted a very impressive result So I guess my question is can we expect to see this level of improvement in the margins going forward I should rephrase this level of revenue fall-through going forward and which would imply in fact that you could be at the mid-40s gross margin in outcomes by the end of this year we don’t really guide by segment but certainly the year-over-year improvement this year was heavily driven also by how low last year was So we were in the 40s or so this quarter but we were like mid-30s last quarter So you get that software mix that distorts things So certainly we’re looking for the Outcomes segment to continue to grow margins year-on-year and I think they will continue to do that Our next question coming from the line of Mark Strouse with JPMorgan Can you just talk about kind of the timing of some of your mitigation efforts whether that’s price increases or kind of moving around component sources Just trying to get a feel for – I mean obviously tariffs could change this afternoon But to the extent that the current tariffs remain in place indefinitely just trying to get a sense of how we can think about annualizing that figure going forward So the $15 million net number that we talked about if I were building a model for the three quarters ahead of us for this year I would put most of that in the back half of the year from a cost perspective And that’s really based on when various pricing mechanisms kick in when various country of origin changes are made on the sourcing side and the amount of inventory on hand a certain amount of inventory was already in our hands when the protocol started Your point about – yes it could change immediately but there’s usually a little bit of a lag effect before the costs start to come in There’s a bit in Q2 but more of it is in the back half of the year Our next question coming from the line of Chip Moore with ROTH Capital Partners I was in Europe earlier this week and there was obviously a pretty high-profile blackout and I’m sure there’ll be a lot of postmortem to come on that I’d be curious to maybe get your perspectives on if you think that’s the type of thing that can help shine a light on the need for some of these grid edge solutions I think that changing the topology of the grid to try to give you better resiliency and reliability is an important part of the value proposition we give to our customers It takes more than just our piece of it but we certainly can help give you visibility and control out of the edge of the grid and that is helpful energy efficiency all of these things are what’s wrapped up inside of the platform that we provide and it’s very helpful when it comes to those kinds of situations I don’t know that I’ve got perfect insight or nor does anyone at this moment as to exactly what happened in Spain and Portugal That appeared to be much more transmission related rather than distribution related But even in those particular cases you can certainly limit the amount of damage and get it back online faster when and if something like that should happen by further deployment of grid edge intelligence technologies On the balance sheet at this rate it looks like you’re going to be in a net cash position in the not-too-distant future So maybe an update on M&A funnel and just capital deployment more broadly and buyback et cetera I would say the priority for us is still finding that right acquisition that helps us get more software content and help drive the outcomes growth So there’s a lot of activity going on I would say the PEs in particular a lot of them are sitting on assets that are now four Some of the valuations I think have come down There are some that don’t necessarily want to accept a down valuation from maybe the peak from several years ago There’s some medium-sized assets out there as well So we continue to be very active and that would be our first priority from a capital allocation standpoint Our next question coming from the line of Austin Moeller with Canaccord Can you — are you able to talk about the mix between setup and engineering revenues within Outcomes at customer sites versus the recurring subscription licensing revenue that you indicated was substantial in the quarter If I look at it on a year-over-year basis in Q1 last year compared to this year we had a lot more I will say the better kind of revenue where margins were substantially higher So the amount of recurring revenue on a quarterly basis bounces around a little bit depending on the exact mix of business but we were right around 70% recurring revenue in Q1 which — that’s maybe on the lower side of where we want to be ultimately is probably closer to 80% is the ultimate trajectory But again it will bounce around a little bit quarter-to-quarter And can you talk about how your grid edge intelligence solutions and networked endpoint products could assist in a blackout situation like we saw in Spain and Portugal Again the Spain and Portugal situation I don’t know that I would want to try to comment too directly on what exactly happened there until the details are out But a pretty clear example is some of the things that we do already today with — allows utilities to reroute power through distribution automation if you do have a particular transformer that gets struck by lightning and that the power goes out you can reroute power using the mechanisms that we provide and when we work with partners to be able to do that The same could be true in a wildfire mitigation kind of scenario So rather than turning off all of Marin County when the wind kicks up you can target that quite a bit more closely by having that fine tooth control out at the edge of the grid Those are the types of solutions that we offer our customers at the distribution edge Operator: [Operator Instructions] Our next question coming from the line of Scott Graham with Seaport Research Partners Could you — is there any way you could tell us a little bit more about the $50 million I know that’s a net number but is it sort of like $30 million Can you just give us an idea of maybe closer to what the gross is the mix of our product portfolio will change and that probably means that any number that I would hazard a guess on today would be wrong by tomorrow So it will ebb and flow a little bit depending on how the mix changes and what deliveries on individuals look like I think that the right way to think about it is the net number and that’s what would be the impact from a gross margin standpoint the other question I had was on networking The organic there I know really set back by last year’s catch-ups Was the gross margin down because of the comp the catch-up comp Joan Hooper: It was really just mix and it was not down materially So that’s noise in the scheme of things And I’m showing no further questions in the Q&A queue at this time We look forward to updating you again in another three months Operator: This concludes today’s conference call

Login Itron Inc. (ITRI, Financial) has reported notable financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 with significant improvements in key metrics despite modest revenue growth The company achieved a revenue of $607 million marking a 1% increase from the same period last year The gross margin expanded by 180 basis points to 35.8% attributed to a favorable product mix and operational efficiencies showcasing a $0.28 increase from the prior year Itron's free cash flow performance was particularly strong doubling to $67 million from $34 million in the previous year underscoring effective earnings conversion and robust working capital management the Outcomes segment led with a 14% increase in revenue driven by heightened recurring revenue and software licenses highlighting Itron's strategic focus on higher-margin business aspects Networked Solutions experienced a 1% decrease due to timing factors The company reported a total backlog of $4.7 billion Itron projects revenues between $605 million and $615 million and expects non-GAAP EPS in the range of $1.30 to $1.40 CEO Tom Deitrich highlighted that customer demand has been steady Itron's leadership in providing grid edge intelligence solutions continues to yield financial benefits as demonstrated by the improved margins and profitability Revenues inched up 1% year over year to $607 million, backed by the catch-up of delayed sales in the first quarter of 2024. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $614.3 million. The figure also missed management’s guidance ($610-$620 million) owing to weakness across the Device Solutions and Networked Solutions segments amid strength in the Outcomes unit. However, management highlighted steady customer demand in the first quarter, driven by grid modernization and automation, with Itron’s grid edge solutions supporting strong performance. Itron, Inc.

Device Solutions: Revenues generated from this segment were $125.9 million (20.7% of total revenues), which dropped 1% (up 2% in constant currency) due to increased smart water sales, which were partially offset by declining sales in legacy electricity products. Networked Solutions: Revenues of $402.7 (66.3%) million decreased 1%, largely attributed to the timing of shipments and project deployments. In addition, the prior year’s revenues included catch-up sales previously constrained, creating a tough year-over-year comparison. Outcomes: Revenues of $78.5 million (13%) improved 14% on a year-over-year basis, driven by higher recurring revenues and increased software license sales. Itron’s gross margin was 35.8%, which expanded 180 basis points on a year-over-year basis. This improvement was attributed to a more favorable product mix and continued operational efficiencies and cost discipline. Non-GAAP operating expenses of $137 million fell 0.8% year over year. Non-GAAP operating income was $80.3 million compared with $67.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to improved gross profit and reduced non-GAAP operating costs.

In the first quarter, the free cash flow reached $67 million, up from $34 million in the previous year's quarter.

He was recently starred in a short film about his athletic career called 10,000 Days of Chasing My Dreams I did a little bit of quick Google search as well and saw the machine that they had [Last week] was my first time actually seeing it and testing it out I think there’s some refinement [to be done] where it basically shoots a shuttle at you So those are some of the metrics that it was actually giving me after I hit the shuttle that it fed to me If we talk about AI or technology in the space with other racket sports like pickleball or padel we've seen some other technologies trying to track number of shots in a rally or where you made the mistake but it's not to your own use where you can track every shot Sometimes they'll track a big smash or something like that but not [it’s] something in your hands where you can track every single shot of your own this player hit a 400-kilometer-an-hour smash once during the match.’ It's not like I would be able to dial in and say I want to know if my smashes were dropping off by 5% or 10%.’ So those are the kind of metrics that you would really be able to act on if you had something like this On using this new badminton data for racket fitting One of the main use cases that I thought right away is — I follow a lot of other sports like tennis and golf — I think this type of technology would be extremely helpful in customizing or picking out the proper equipment for the athlete all these details that are really meticulous And so if I'm an athlete and maybe I'm not optimizing the proper equipment whether it's string tension or there's head light or head heavy test out 10 different models with 10 different variations of strings tensions and figure out which one is giving me the best smash which otherwise would just right now be going by feeling like [but] I don't know exactly what the speed was.’ You're seeing it in some of these other sports that have a little bit more money that are already implementing it into a lot of their strategies On other tendencies the system could learn I'm sure those cameras are capable of [identifying tendencies] whether you put in a match video and it spits out some sort of post-analysis data like I made X amount of mistakes in my backhand or X amount of mistakes in my forehand.’ They might even be able to drill down to more meticulous details like the height over the net on this shot was five inches or 10 inches and that's what led to losing this point.’ It's obviously a lot of back-end code and different scenarios that they have to run but there's definitely a ton of use cases for something like this A post shared by Howard Shu (@shusonmyfeet) one of the things I've done is I've laid off of all the impact cardio But now it's always low-impact cardio — swimming biking — but then it's tracking my heart rate making sure I'm getting into the right zones to push that cardio These are just all things that I would say were not accessible to the average consumer and now we're really seeing companies push the envelope where it is very accessible to consumers And I don't know what the timeline is on a machine like this but I'm sure it'll be scalable to one day where it will be in the hands of consumers On the surprising speeds of badminton smashes The world record now is [565] kilometers an hour That's obviously at contact because the way the shuttle works is So as it flips when it lands on the other side it's not traveling at 300 miles an hour anymore But I'm confident to say I could probably still get it over 240 [mph I've seen people do challenges where they smash a shuttle into a watermelon or break through cardboard and things like that
