In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Badger Meter, Inc. (the “Company”) contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise discussed) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated condensed financial position at September 30, 2013, results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, comprehensive income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (sometimes referred to as the “qualified pension plan”) for certain employees. On December 31, 2010, the Company froze the qualified pension plan for its non-union participants and formed a new defined contribution feature within the Badger Meter Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (“ESSOP”) in which each employee received a similar benefit. On December 31, 2011, the Company froze the qualified pension plan for its union participants and included them in the defined contribution feature within the ESSOP. After December 31, 2011, employees received no future benefits under the qualified pension plan as benefits have been frozen and the employees now receive a defined contribution in its place. Employees will continue to earn returns on their frozen balances under the qualified pension plan. The Company also maintains a non-contributory postretirement plan that provides medical benefits for certain of its retirees and eligible dependents in the United States. | ||||||||||||||||

The Company disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 that it was not required to make a minimum contribution for the 2013 calendar year. The Company continues to believe no additional contributions will be required during 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company also disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 that it estimated it would pay $0.5 million in other postretirement benefits in 2013 based on actuarial estimates. As of September 30, 2013, $0.2 million of such benefits have been paid. The Company continues to believe that its estimated payments for the full year are reasonable. However, such estimates contain inherent uncertainties because cash payments can vary significantly depending on the timing of postretirement medical claims and the collection of the retirees’ portion of certain costs. Note that the amount of benefits paid in calendar year 2013 will not impact the expense for postretirement benefits for 2013. |

On April 1, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Aquacue, Inc. (“Aquacue”) of Los Gatos, California. The Aquacue acquisition provides the Company with intellectual property that complements and expands the Company's advanced metering analytics offerings by adding an integrated software platform that allows utility managers to monitor and control their water systems, while providing water management data to consumers. Sales of Aquacue products were immaterial during the six months ended September 30, 2013. The purchase price was approximately $14.0 million in cash, plus a small working capital adjustment. The purchase price includes a final $3.0 million payment, of which half is due January 1, 2014 and is recorded in payables on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013, and half is due October 1, 2014 and is recorded in other long-term liabilities. The Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of September 30, 2013 includes $0.1 million of current assets, $5.6 million of intangibles, $10.7 million of goodwill, $0.3 million of current liabilities, and $2.1 million of long-term deferred tax liabilities. The Company has not completed its analysis for estimating the fair value. There is approximately $0.1 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition that are included in selling, engineering and administration for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. | |||||
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto. | |||||
On January 31, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Racine Federated, Inc. (“Racine Federated”) of Racine, Wisconsin and its subsidiary Premier Control Technologies, Ltd. located in Thetford, England for approximately $57.3 million in cash, plus a working capital adjustment of $0.3 million. The purchase price included a final $4.6 million payment which was paid on July 31, 2013. Racine Federated manufactures and markets flow meters for the water industry as well as various industrial metering and specialty products. These products complement and expand the Company’s existing lines for the global flow measurement business. This acquisition is further described in Note 3 “Acquisitions” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |||||

Contingencies, Litigation and Commitments | Contingencies, Litigation and Commitments |
In the normal course of business, the Company is named in legal proceedings. There are currently no material legal proceedings pending with respect to the Company. The more significant legal proceedings are discussed below. | |
The Company is subject to contingencies related to environmental laws and regulations. The Company is named as one of many potentially responsible parties in two landfill lawsuits. The landfill sites are impacted by the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and other environmental laws and regulations. At this time, the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations, either from a cash flow perspective or on the financial statements as a whole. This belief is based on the Company's assessment of its limited past involvement with these landfill sites as well as the substantial involvement of and government focus on other named third parties with these landfill sites. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any of these matters. A future change in circumstances with respect to these specific matters or with respect to sites formerly or currently owned or operated by the Company, off-site disposal locations used by the Company, and property owned by third parties that is near such sites, could result in future costs to the Company and such amounts could be material. Expenditures for compliance with environmental control provisions and regulations during 2012 and the first three quarters of 2013 were not material. | |
Like other companies in recent years, the Company is named as a defendant in numerous pending multi-claimant/multi-defendant lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos, manufactured by third parties, and integrated into or sold with a very limited number of the Company's products. The Company is vigorously defending itself against these claims. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of these issues will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations, either from a cash flow perspective or on the financial statements as a whole. This belief is based in part on the fact that no claimant has proven or substantially demonstrated asbestos exposure caused by products manufactured or sold by the Company and that a number of cases have been voluntarily dismissed. | |
The Company relies on single suppliers for most brass castings and certain electronic subassemblies in several of its product lines. The Company believes these items would be available from other sources, but that the loss of certain suppliers would result in a higher cost of materials, delivery delays, short-term increases in inventory and higher quality control costs in the short term. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by working closely with key suppliers, purchasing minimal amounts from alternative suppliers and by purchasing business interruption insurance where appropriate. | |
The Company reevaluates its exposures on a periodic basis and makes adjustments to reserves as appropriate. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of 2013 was 33.5% compared to 35.9% in the third quarter of 2012. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes for the first three quarters of 2013 was 34.7% compared to 35.4% in the first three quarters of 2012. The decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to the recognition of additional 2012 research and development credits identified in the third quarter of 2013, as well as the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions for tax years that expired. The decrease for the first nine months of 2013 was mainly due to recognition of 2012 research and development credits as a result of tax legislation enacted early in 2013 and the reversal of prior period reserves. |

The Company applies the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures for its financial assets and financial liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and payables in the financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Short-term debt is comprised of notes payable drawn against the Company's lines of credit and commercial paper. Because of its short-term nature, the carrying amount of the short-term debt also approximates fair value. Included in other assets are insurance policies on various individuals who were associated with the Company. The carrying amounts of these insurance policies approximate their fair value. |

The Company evaluates subsequent events at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arise after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, if any, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to these financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued. |
