Financial Statement Preparation

The consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and reflect entries necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Consolidated Statements of Equity for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, June 30, 2023 and 2022 and March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of Itron, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All entries required for the fair presentation of the financial statements are of a normal recurring nature, except as disclosed. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any other period.

Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been partially or completely omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K on February 27, 2023 (2022 Annual Report).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08 amending Business Combination: (Topic 805), which was necessary due to 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The FASB issued this Update to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to (1) recognition of an acquired contract liability and (2) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. We adopted this amendment as of the effective date of January 1, 2023. These amendments are to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. We currently plan to apply the practical expedients as needed for any future acquisitions. The practical expedients cover contracts that were modified prior to acquisition date as well as determining which date an acquirer would have to determine the standalone selling price of each performance obligation in an acquired contract.
