99.1               Press Release dated April 26, 2005.



The information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K may contain
forward-looking statements and certain assumptions upon which such
forward-looking statements are in part based. Numerous important factors,
including those factors identified in Itron, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and the fact that the assumptions set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K
could prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in such forward-looking statements.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
