n Headwinds Are Manageable: While certainly a concern, we
think headwinds in 2011 from rising Copper prices and to a Paul A. Dircks, CFA
lesser extent USD weakness are largely manageable. BMI is (212) 338-4725
likely to implement a price increase in early 2011 and price pdircks@sterneagee.com
increases from 2010 should see improved realization over the
next couple of quarters. Other potential offsets include ongoing Fiscal Year Ends Dec
shift of manufacturing activities to lower cost regions and
savings from vertical integration due to the recent acquisition of Rating: Buy
a key component supplier with which BMI previously had a Price: Close $42.09
licensing agreement. Price Target: $48

n Retaining Buy Rating & Nominally Raising Price Target: We P/E Ratio: 22.4x -- 19.6x -- 17.2x --
are retaining our Buy rating based on our expectation that BMI
can successfully leverage its leading market share position to
capitalize on a strong pipeline of projects in the underpenetrated
AMR /AMI water meter market and continue to grow the
specialty metering (Flow Measure) business through bolt-on
acquisitions and cyclical recovery. The combination of these
factors, in our opinion, points to highly visible (reliable) top-
and bottom-line growth outlook for Badger Meter over the next
3-5 years, in our view. BMI earnings growth bottomed in 2009
at +6% vs. most industrials which experienced >30% cyclical
decrease in earnings. Our revised price target of $48 (from $47)
equates to ~22x our FY11 EPS estimate. Our target multiple is

n Strong 3Q10 Results: GAAP EPS $0.60 included $0.05 in previously unrecognized
tax benefits. Excluding the tax benefit, adjusted EPS was $0.55, in line with our
estimate and ahead of $0.51 consensus. Excluding the tax benefit, EPS increased
~30% Y/Y.
n Record Quarterly Sales: Net sales grew 25% Y/Y (2% Q/Q) to $75.7M, above our
estimate of $75.0M and $71.9M consensus, driven by follow-through order strength
and shipments following stimulus funding resolution in February, which resulted in
significant improvement in orders beginning in March and continuing through the
summer months. Sales increased in most product lines, lead by AMR and AMI
Water product lines. Water sales (83.7% of mix) increased 16.5% to $63.6M with
Orion sales increasing 18.4%, Itron (ITRI - $60.69 – Buy) increasing 25.5% and
manual read meters increasing 10.6%. Sales of Commercial water meters were
relatively flat on a year-over-year basis. The Fresno project contributed to the
quarter as the project is now in full swing. BMI did not win the Cleveland water
AMI contract, but did express optimism that it may still be a meter supplier to the
project.
n Specialty Sales Benefit From Duke Contract and Other Municipal Gas Utilities:
Specialty products increased 92% to $12.3M from $6.4M in 3Q09 with significant
contribution to the year-on-year improvement from the Cox acquisition (~$1.4M or
similar to 2Q10 contribution). While the Duke (DUK – $17.79 – No Rating) contract
contributed to the sales growth, BMI has shipped radios for gas meters at ~60 small
municipal gas utilities. BMI is seeing modest (double-digit) improvement in
Specialty products that were hit the hardest during the recession (~down 25%-30%),
and expects to see further improvement tied to the cyclical recovery in these higher-
margin products.
n Gross Margins Increased Q/Q: Gross margin contracted 210bp Y/Y but expanded
50bp Q/Q to 36.9% and was approximately in line with our 37.0% estimate. We
believe sequential margin expansion was supported by a combination of price
increases from earlier this year, a decrease in 2Q10 copper prices vs. 1Q10 of
~$0.50, the strengthening of the USD in 1H10 and the ongoing production shift to a
lower cost facility in Mexico. BMI noted that if commodity prices remain high, then
a price increase could be implemented in early 2011. EBIT margin expanded 20bp
Y/Y and 120bp Q/Q to 17.7%.
n Cash Balance Decreases Due to Pension & Investments: Ending cash balance of
$2.7M was roughly flat vs. 2Q10 due to a $4.7M unplanned pension contribution and
$8.0M to acquire a license for the manufacture and sale of a key component in
BMI’s turbine meters. Badger finished 3Q10 with ~$10M in net debt, up from net
zero debt at the end of 2Q10.
