Strategic Review and Outlook

Bockhorst continued, “The fundamental long-term drivers supporting our offerings are clear, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing momentum in demand as evidenced by our robust order rates, record backlog and expanding pipeline of potential business. Capturing and providing real-time flow measurement, pressure, temperature and water quality data throughout the water distribution system empowers our utility, wastewater and industrial customers to make smarter operational decisions with positive sustainability benefits. It also enhances water security and adds to end consumer satisfaction.

Our teams have done an outstanding job managing value-based pricing initiatives which have and continue to be implemented to mitigate the significant escalation in brass costs. While universal electronics shortages and logistics bottlenecks continue to present challenges, I am confident that utilizing our strong operational agility we will be able to support customers through effective sourcing and supply chain management. Navigating these intermittent disruptions are likely to add to the traditionally “uneven” sales patterns during the year, but we remain confident in both our short and long-term growth trajectory.”

Bockhorst concluded, "Badger Meter has an industry leading and proven portfolio of solutions to solve customers’ water needs. We will continue to focus on executing our strategic plans which include both organic and inorganic opportunities to build on our already strong foundation of protecting the world’s most precious resource.”
