BMI · Badger Meter, Inc.

This 8-K serves solely as a vehicle to furnish the company’s earnings press release (Exhibit 99.1) under Item 2.02, confirming the disclosure of first-quarter 2026 results without restating those figures in the 8-K body. Because the filing contains no quantitative financial data, investors must refer to Exhibit 99.1 for actual results—including revenue, earnings per share, margins, and any management commentary on operational drivers, segment performance, or demand trends. The absence of disclosed metrics in the 8-K text means no materiality assessment can be made regarding performance magnitude, trend direction, or deviation from expectations based on this document alone. The external analyst consensus context—while useful for market positioning—is not part of the SEC filing and therefore carries no regulatory weight or disclosure obligation here. As such, the event is procedurally routine and materially medium: it signals timely earnings disclosure compliance but provides no standalone financial insight without accessing the exhibit.
