Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Itron (ITRI - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 3.4% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Itron due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

Itron’s Q2 Earnings Top EstimatesItron reported non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $1.59 for second-quarter 2026, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 22.3%. The company reported earnings of $1.62 per share in the prior-year quarter. The decline was primarily caused by lower interest income and a higher effective tax rate, which was moderated by growing non-GAAP operating income.

Itron generated second-quarter revenue of $563 million, down 7% year over year. The decline was largely attributable to weakness in the Networked Solutions segment, where revenue fell 17% because of project deployment timing and lower shipment volumes. This slowdown appears to be timing-related rather than demand-driven, as utilities continue investing heavily in grid modernization. Although headline revenue fell short of expectations, the underlying demand environment remains healthy, supported by increasing investments in grid resilience, electrification and infrastructure modernization.

The most encouraging takeaway was management's decision to raise its earnings guidance for 2026. Itron now forecasts non-GAAP EPS between $6.3 and $6.5, up from the prior view of $5.75-$6.25. The higher earnings outlook reflects continued strength in margin expansion, operational execution, demand from utility customers and integration of recent acquisitions. The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue outlook, narrowing the range to $2.37-$2.41 billion, with midpoint growth of 1% year over year. Revenue is expected to be back-end loaded, with second-half revenue projected to grow about 8% year over year and sequentially, consistent with prior expectations.

Product revenues were $453.5 million (80.6% of total revenues), down 12.3% year over year. Service revenues totaled $109.4 million (19.4%), up 22.2%.

At quarter-end, total backlog was $4.4 billion, only slightly below last year's $4.5 billion. Quarterly bookings totaled $550 million, demonstrating continued customer demand despite quarterly revenue fluctuations.

Segments in DetailDevice Solutions (19.8% of total revenues): Revenue declined 1% (3% in constant currency or cc) to $111.4 million primarily due to lower legacy electricity product sales.

Networked Solutions (60.3%): Revenues dipped 17% to $339.2 million, primarily due to the timing of project deployments.

Outcomes (17.1%): Revenues rose 13% to $96.4 million, driven by growth in recurring and services revenue.

Resiliency Solutions (2.8%): Sales, bolstered by the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions, contributed $16 million, with integration progressing according to plan.

Margin Strength Highlights Operational ImprovementsAdjusted gross margin expanded to 41.4%, representing an impressive 460 basis-point improvement over the prior-year period. The margin expansion was driven by improved customer mix, higher-margin product mix, operational efficiencies and better execution across manufacturing and supply chains.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $144 million, up from $141.4 million a year ago, reflecting the impact of the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions.

Non-GAAP operating income rose to $89 million from $82.2 million a year ago, as stronger gross profit more than offset higher operating expenses.

Balance Sheet & Cash FlowsAs of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $745.2 million compared with $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Accounts receivable were $351.1 million.

As of June 30, net long-term debt was $1.6 billion, the same as of March 31.

Second-quarter operating cash flow reached $88 million compared with $97 million last year. Free cash flow totaled $81 million, down from $91 million. The decline mainly reflected higher tax payments and lower interest income. These were partially offset by favorable working-capital timing.

During the quarter, Itron repurchased $52 million of its shares through open-market buybacks under its existing share repurchase program.

Q3 2026 OutlookFor the third quarter of 2026, it expects revenues to be between $590 million and $600 million, up 2% year over year at the midpoint.

Non-GAAP EPS is anticipated to be in the range of $1.5-$1.6, with about a 1% rise at the midpoint from last year.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Itron has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. It comes with little surprise Itron has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.

Validation demonstrates QCIM core IP can accelerate FIPS 203, 204 and 205 under demanding operating conditions, advancing next-generation hardware for military, industrial, automotive, IoT, Physical AI and connected infrastructure

, /PRNewswire/ -- BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ), a global technology company building the trust infrastructure for the quantum era, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the first milestone of its multi-year collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute ("ITRI") to validate BTQ's Quantum Compute-in-Memory ("QCIM") architecture for post-quantum cryptography.

The collaboration with ITRI forms part of the global QCIM chip roadmap led by BTQ and ICTK Co., Ltd. ("ICTK") (KOSDAQ: 456010). The program brings together BTQ's cryptographic architecture, ICTK's secure semiconductor and physical unclonable function capabilities, and ITRI's advanced semiconductor design, integration and validation expertise.

Completion of the first milestone demonstrated the QCIM architecture's ability to accurately and efficiently accelerate cryptographic operations across demanding operating conditions evaluated during the program. The results support the continued development of next-generation QCIM technology designed for future integration across military, industrial, automotive, Internet of Things, Physical AI and other connected devices, systems and infrastructure.

The QCIM core IP demonstrated its crypto-agility by executing cryptographic operations associated with FIPS 203, FIPS 204 and FIPS 205, the post-quantum cryptography standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. The architecture is also being developed to support additional post-quantum cryptographic algorithms as standards, customer requirements and security environments evolve.

Milestone Highlights

Completed the first technical milestone of BTQ and ITRI's multi-year QCIM collaboration Validated the QCIM core within a TSMC 28-nanometre design environment Demonstrated acceleration of cryptographic operations associated with FIPS 203, 204 and 205 Confirmed the functional correctness and feasibility of the QCIM architecture Demonstrated performance advantages and crypto-agility across multiple post-quantum algorithms Advanced the program into its next phase of module-level integration, verification and validation "This milestone is an important technical and commercial step in the global QCIM roadmap being led by BTQ and ICTK," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ Technologies. "The results demonstrate that the QCIM architecture can accurately and efficiently accelerate multiple NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms under demanding conditions while maintaining the flexibility required to respond to evolving security standards. As post-quantum security moves from standardization toward implementation, organizations will require hardware that can deliver stronger cryptographic protection without creating unacceptable performance, power or deployment constraints," continued Roussy Newton. "The work completed with ITRI provides a stronger foundation for integrating QCIM into the devices and infrastructure supporting military, industrial, automotive, IoT and Physical AI systems."

QCIM is BTQ's soft IP cryptographic accelerator architecture designed to support both classical and post-quantum cryptographic functions in a compact, low-power block. By executing cryptographic operations inside the memory subsystem, QCIM is designed to reduce latency, power consumption, and data movement while supporting crypto-agile security across a range of chip architectures and connected devices.

The next-generation QCIM quantum-security chip is being developed for use across IoT, AI devices, industrial systems, secure elements, edge devices, and other connected infrastructure where device authentication, security performance, and long-term cryptographic resilience are becoming increasingly important.

The program will now advance into its next phase, focused on module-level integration, verification and validation. This phase is intended to further evaluate how the QCIM core can be incorporated into broader system architectures while preserving functional correctness, interoperability and performance.

For BTQ, completion of the first milestone represents an important step in advancing QCIM from architectural development toward commercial evaluation. Independent validation of the core design reduces technical risk and provides a stronger foundation for system-level integration, prospective customer demonstrations and discussions with semiconductor, infrastructure and device partners. The next phase is intended to generate the additional verification and integration data required to assess product configurations, customer-specific applications and the appropriate pathway toward fabrication and deployment. While further development remains, the milestone strengthens BTQ's ability to move QCIM commercialization efforts forward based on demonstrated technical performance rather than design assumptions.

"This milestone demonstrates meaningful progress in validating compute-in-memory architectures for post-quantum cryptography," said Dr. Chih-Cheng Lu, Manager of ITRI's Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories. "The next phase will build on these results through module-level integration and verification, helping advance the architecture toward broader system implementation."

BTQ intends to evaluate subsequent fabrication, demonstration and customer-evaluation activities based on the results of the integration and verification program, foundry availability, prospective customer requirements and broader commercial opportunities.

Backed by ICTK's secure chip capabilities and ITRI's validation results, BTQ expects to ship test chips to key customers and strategic partners by year-end for performance and functional validation.

Summary of Second Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
(All comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue
Total second quarter revenue of $563 million compared to $607 million in the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by lower Networked Solutions revenue, partially offset by continued growth in Outcomes.

Device Solutions revenue decreased 1%, or 3% in constant currency, due primarily to lower legacy electricity product sales.

Networked Solutions revenue decreased 17% due to the timing of project deployments and lower volumes.

Outcomes revenue increased 13% due to increased services revenue.

Resiliency Solutions revenue was $16 million with integration progressing to plan.

Adjusted Gross Margin
Itron's second quarter adjusted gross margin of 41.4% increased 460 bps basis points from the prior year due to customer and product mix as well as operational efficiencies.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income
GAAP operating expenses of $155 million increased $7 million from the prior year due to higher amortization costs, partially offset by lower restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating expenses of $144 million increased $3 million from the prior year due to the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions.

GAAP operating income of $76 million was $0.3 million lower due to higher operating expenses, including acquisition-related amortization expense, partially offset by higher gross profit

Non-GAAP operating income of $89 million was $7 million higher than the prior year due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Net Income and Earnings per Share (EPS)
Net income attributable to Itron, Inc. for the quarter was $53 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to Itron, Inc. of $68 million, or $1.47 per diluted share in 2025. The decrease was driven by lower interest income and a higher effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Itron, Inc., which excludes the expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt placement fees, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expense, acquisition and integration related expenses, gain on the sale of equity method investments, and the tax effect of excluding these expenses, was $71 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, compared with $75 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, in 2025. The decrease was driven by lower interest income and a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by higher non-GAAP operating income.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $88 million in the second quarter compared with $97 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $81 million in the second quarter compared with $91 million in the prior year. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to higher tax payments and lower interest income, partially offset by favorable working capital timing.

Other Measures

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This release contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical factors nor assurances of future performance. These statements are based on our expectations about, among others, revenues, operations, financial performance, earnings, liquidity, earnings per share, cash flows and restructuring activities including headcount reductions and other cost savings initiatives. This document reflects our current strategy, plans and expectations and is based on information currently available as of the date of this release. When we use words such as "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "goal", "seek", "project", "estimate", "future", "strategy", "objective", "may", "likely", "should", "will", "will continue", and similar expressions, including related to future periods, they are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions and estimates. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these estimates or assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these estimates and assumptions could be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include our ability to execute on our restructuring plans, our ability to achieve estimated cost savings, the rate and timing of customer demand for our products, rescheduling of current customer orders, changes in estimated liabilities for product warranties, adverse impacts of litigation, changes in laws, regulations, tariffs, sanctions, trade policies and retaliatory responses, our dependence on new product development and intellectual property, future acquisitions, changes in estimates for stock-based and bonus compensation, increasing volatility in foreign exchange rates, international business risks, uncertainties caused by adverse economic conditions, including without limitation those resulting from extraordinary events or circumstances and other factors that are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec 31, 2025 and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Itron undertakes no obligation to update or revise any information in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we use certain adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and constant currency. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide greater transparency and represent supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. We exclude certain costs in our non-GAAP financial measures as we believe the net result is a measure of our core business. We believe these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP performance measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from those reported by other companies. When providing future outlooks and/or earnings guidance, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP diluted EPS to the GAAP diluted EPS has not been provided because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the potential amount or timing of restructuring related expenses and their related tax effects without unreasonable effort. These costs are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. A more detailed discussion of why we use non-GAAP financial measures, the limitations of using such measures, and reconciliations between non-GAAP and the nearest GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and constant currency. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define such measures differently. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable financial measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see the table captioned Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures.
        

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and/or as a means for determining executive compensation. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and ability to service debt by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our recurring core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance, as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. Our executive compensation plans exclude non-cash charges related to amortization of intangibles and depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and certain discrete cash and non-cash charges, such as restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, or acquisition and integration related expenses. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and because they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to analyze the health of our business.

Non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income – We define non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding certain expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, and acquisition and integration related expenses. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding the expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, and acquisition and integration related expenses. Acquisition and integration related expenses include costs, which are incurred to affect and integrate business combinations, such as professional fees; certain employee retention and salaries related to integration; employee severance; contract terminations; travel costs related to knowledge transfer; system conversion costs; and asset impairment charges. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of expenses that are not related to our core operating results. By excluding these expenses, we believe that it is easier for management and investors to compare our financial results over multiple periods and analyze trends in our operations. For example, in certain periods, expenses related to amortization of intangible assets may decrease, which would improve GAAP operating margins, yet the improvement in GAAP operating margins due to this lower expense is not necessarily reflective of an improvement in our core business. There are some limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income versus operating expenses and operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information about the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating income together with GAAP operating expense and operating income.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS – We define non-GAAP net income as net income attributable to Itron, Inc. excluding the expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt placement fees, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, gain on sale of equity method investment, and the tax effect of excluding these expenses. We define non-GAAP diluted EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding during the period calculated on a GAAP basis and then reduced to reflect any anti-dilutive impact of the convertible notes hedge transactions. We consider these financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that we use non-GAAP operating income. The same limitations described above regarding our use of non-GAAP operating income apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS together with GAAP net income attributable to Itron, Inc. and GAAP diluted EPS.

For interim periods the budgeted annual effective tax rate (AETR) is used, adjusted for any discrete items, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 - Income Taxes. The budgeted AETR is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year. The AETR is revised throughout the year based on changes to our full-year forecast. If the revised AETR increases or decreases by 200 basis points or more from the budgeted AETR due to changes in the full-year forecast during the year, the revised AETR is used in place of the budgeted AETR beginning with the quarter the 200 basis point threshold is exceeded and going forward for all subsequent interim quarters in the year. We continue to assess the AETR based on latest forecast throughout the year and use the most recent AETR any time it increases or decreases by 200 basis points or more from the prior interim period.

Adjusted EBITDA – We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (a) minus interest income and gain on sale of equity method investment, (b) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, and (c) excluding income tax provision or benefit. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for executive compensation. A limitation to using adjusted EBITDA is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period and the measure includes some non-cash items and excludes other non-cash items. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the items that our peer companies exclude when they report their results. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this measure to GAAP net income.

Free cash flow – We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for acquisitions of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our operations and repay our debt. The same limitations described above regarding our use of adjusted EBITDA apply to our use of free cash flow. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts in the reconciliation.

Adjusted gross profit – We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the amortization expense of core-developed technology intangible assets.

Adjusted operating income – We define adjusted operating income as operating income excluding the amortization of core-developed technology intangible assets.

Constant currency – We refer to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in our discussions of financial results, which references the differences between the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate operating results from the entity's functional currency into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. We also use the term "constant currency", which represents financial results adjusted to exclude changes in foreign currency exchange rates as compared with the rates in the comparable prior year period. We calculate the constant currency change as the difference between the current period results and the comparable prior period's results restated using current period foreign currency exchange rates.

The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of operating expenses, operating income, net income, diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
