Conflict Minerals Report

For the Reporting Period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016

This report for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (the Rule). The Rule was adopted to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Rule imposes reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants whose manufactured products contain certain minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.

If a registrant determines that any columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (Subject Minerals), are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the registrant or contracted by the registrant to be manufactured, the registrant must conduct in good faith a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) regarding those Subject Minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Subject Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (Covered Countries) or are from recycled or scrap sources.

If, following the completion of the RCOI, a registrant knows that any of the necessary Subject Minerals originated in a Covered Country and are not from recycled or scrap sources, or has reason to believe that its necessary Subject Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and has reason to believe that its necessary Subject Minerals did not come from recycled or scrap sources, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals that conforms to a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework and describe such due diligence in this separate Conflict Minerals Report.

In accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, the related supplements on tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (the Guidance) and the Rule, this report is available on our website at https://www.badgermeter.com/supply-chain/.

Consistent with the provisions of the Rule, the SEC’s Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, dated April 29, 2014, and the SEC’s Order Issuing Stay, dated May 2, 2014, this Conflict Minerals Report has not been audited by a third party.

1. Company Overview

This report has been prepared by the management of Badger Meter, Inc. (herein referred to as Badger Meter, the Company, we, us or our). The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries that are required to be consolidated.

Badger Meter is an innovator in flow measurement, control and communications solutions, serving water utilities, municipalities and commercial and industrial customers worldwide. Our products measure water, oil, chemicals and other fluids, and are known for accuracy, long-lasting durability and for providing and communicating valuable and timely measurement data. Our product lines fall into two categories: sales of water meters and related technologies to municipal water utilities (municipal water) and sales of meters to various industries for water and other fluids (flow instrumentation). We estimate that over 85% of our products are used in water applications when both categories are grouped together.

Supply Chain

Because Badger Meter does not deal directly with mineral processors like smelters and refiners, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide origin information on all applicable minerals contained in components or materials supplied to us. We also request that our suppliers advise Badger Meter of any sources of conflict minerals that are supplied to them from their suppliers.

2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

In order to determine the origin of the Subject Minerals used in the manufacture of our products, Badger Meter conducted a RCOI in good faith. To complete the RCOI, Badger Meter surveyed its suppliers using the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (further described in Section 3 below).

It is not practical to survey the entirety of our supplier base; therefore, we restricted our survey to suppliers providing products containing Subject Minerals. We then prioritized our list of suppliers by spending and administered the surveys. The goal was to capture information from the suppliers representing the majority of Badger Meter’s purchases of these products.

Survey Responses

As part of our RCOI, Badger Meter surveyed 921 direct suppliers. We received responses from 77% of the suppliers surveyed (which represents 93% of our overall purchases). We reviewed these responses to ensure each response was complete and consistent with the reported data and followed up with suppliers whose responses did not meet these criteria to obtain more accurate responses.

A majority of the responses received were provided at a company level, many of which did not specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to Badger Meter. For responses that did not specify smelters or refiners, Badger Meter contacted the corresponding suppliers to request complete information.

Among the supplier responses we received that we determined contained complete, valid information, we received the following information:

Approximately 80.5% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to Badger Meter in 2016 did not originate from a Covered Country; and

Approximately 19.5% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to Badger Meter in 2016 may have originated in a Covered Country.

Based on the results above, Badger Meter determined that it had reason to believe that, during 2016, Subject Minerals necessary for the functionality or production of its products may have originated from a Covered Country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Badger Meter conducted its RCOI in good faith, and it believes that such inquiry was reasonable to allow it to make the determination. Accordingly, Badger Meter proceeded to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals (further described in Section 3 below).

3. Due Diligence Process

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework provided in the Guidance.

3.1

Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Conflict Minerals Policy

We have adopted the following conflict minerals policy:

Badger Meter is committed to working with our global supply chain to ensure compliance with the SEC’s conflict minerals rules. We have established a conflict minerals compliance program that is designed to follow the framework established by the OECD. Our enterprise is fully engaged in implementing that program.

Our standard purchase order terms and conditions, used with suppliers, have been updated to include conflict mineral due diligence and reporting requirements. Any direct sourcing by Badger Meter of tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold will not be intentionally sourced from conflict sources. As we become aware of instances where minerals in our supply chain potentially finance armed groups, as discussed in the Rule, we will work with our suppliers to find alternate conflict-free sources.

We are committed to promoting economic development in Africa through responsible commercial engagement, driving employee awareness, as well as through our corporate citizenship activities.

Management Team

Badger Meter has designated its Import/Export, Purchasing, and Cost Accounting departments as the departments responsible for overseeing our conflict minerals due diligence efforts. The Import/Export department is responsible for reporting on due diligence efforts to Badger Meter’s senior management, as well as coordinating due diligence efforts with Badger Meter’s suppliers and third-party consultants.

Supply Chain Controls

As discussed above, Badger Meter does not deal directly with the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. Instead, we rely on the information provided to us by our direct suppliers, as well as third-party verification programs like the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program, to identify and verify the smelters and refiners in our supply chain.

Engagement with Suppliers

Badger Meter continually strives to make conflict minerals compliance an integral part of its relationships with its direct suppliers. Through a third party, we communicate our expectations regarding conflict minerals compliance to our direct suppliers on an annual basis, and undertake multiple rounds of engagement with suppliers who are unable or unwilling to meet the requirements of our conflict minerals policy. Additionally, as part of our current sourcing processes, we conduct a review of a new supplier’s conflict mineral due diligence practices prior to sourcing material from them.

Grievance Mechanisms

Any individual or company that has a reasonable suspicion that conflict minerals are present in Badger Meter’s supply chain should alert Badger Meter or our third-party conflict mineral management team of the specifics regarding the suspicion. Badger Meter will perform due diligence on any reasonable inquiries, and will address any conflict minerals that are identified with the offending supplier.

3.2

Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

To identify and assess the risk in our supply chain, Badger Meter contracted with a third-party company to manage our conflict mineral survey process. The third-party contractor was responsible for contacting suppliers, collecting responses and reviewing the responses for completeness, inconsistencies, errors and applicability. In performing its survey, the contractor used the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding refiners and smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain.

After determining the full list of smelters and refiners (as reported by our suppliers) involved in processing the minerals used in materials and components supplied to Badger Meter, we cross-checked those smelters and refiners against lists published by various third-party audit programs, such as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program, as well as the U.S. Department of Commerce’s list of all known mineral processing facilities worldwide, published in September 2014. Based on these cross-checks, we were able to determine the relative level of risk with respect to conflict minerals within our supply chain.

3.3

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks

After identifying the relative level of risk within our supply chain, we designed and implemented a strategy to respond to those risks.

In the event that we could not verify that a particular smelter or refiner was conflict-free based on third-party audit programs, we (1) engaged with the smelter or refiner, either directly or through our supplier, to determine the status of its efforts to become verified as conflict-free and (2) directed our suppliers to ensure that all smelters and refiners in their supply chains are either verified as conflict-free or publicly committed to becoming so. Suppliers and smelters or refiners who refuse to move toward conflict-free status run the risk of being removed from our supply chain.

3.4

Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

As discussed above, Badger Meter does not have a direct relationship with the smelters and refiners in its supply chain and does not perform or direct audits of those entities. Instead, Badger Meter supports third-party audits through engagement with its direct suppliers and makes use of the resources provided by third-party audit programs like the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program.

3.5

Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This Conflict Minerals Report is being filed with the SEC as an exhibit to Badger Meter’s specialized disclosure report on Form SD and is available on our website at https://www.badgermeter.com/supply-chain/.

4. Due Diligence Results

As a result of the due diligence measures described above, Badger Meter believes that, to the best of its knowledge, the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I to this report may have processed the Subject Minerals in products manufactured by Badger Meter. Because a majority of the responses received were provided at a company level, we are unable to associate specific smelters or refiners with specific components supplied to—and therefore specific products manufactured by—Badger Meter.

Badger Meter does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals used in its products. However, based on the information provided by the suppliers, smelters and refiners in Badger Meter’s supply chain, as well as other publicly available sources of information, Badger Meter believes that the countries of origin of its Subject Minerals include the countries listed in Annex II to this report. Badger Meter also believes that some of the Subject Minerals in its products may have come from scrap or recycled sources.

Of the 366 smelters and refiners identified for calendar year 2016, 177 were verified as conflict-free under the Conflict-Free Smelter Program, while 189 have not been verified as conflict-free under the Conflict-Free Smelter Program. Of the 189 smelters and refiners that have not been verified as conflict-free, Badger Meter identified one tin smelter that may be sourcing its ore from the Covered Countries. Overall, based on information received from the suppliers, smelters and refiners in its supply chain, Badger Meter has no reason to believe any of the facilities not verified as conflict-free have sourced Subject Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.

5. Steps Taken to Mitigate Risk

Since the end of the period covered in our most recent Conflict Minerals Report, which was filed with the SEC on May 31, 2016, we have implemented the following continuous processes to improve our due diligence and mitigate the risk of conflict minerals entering our supply chain:

Continue working with suppliers to help them understand Badger Meter’s expectations regarding due diligence over the Subject Minerals in our supply chain, including our suppliers’ due diligence over their own supply chains;

Communicate our expectation to our suppliers that they transition their supply chain toward smelters and refiners verified as conflict-free by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program;

For suppliers who cannot immediately transition to a conflict-free supply chain, request that those suppliers develop, communicate, and implement a plan to source from conflict-free smelters and refiners in the future; and

Engage with industry programs to encourage the adoption and improvement of relevant tools and standards.

In addition, we are considering contacting smelters and refiners identified in our due diligence whom have not been verified by Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative as conflict free with the goal of improving our supply chain and decreasing the potential for conflict material to enter our supply chain.
