What Is The Lawsuit About?<\/b><\/p>

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and\/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Badger Meter\u2019s financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to the Company\u2019s practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends; (2) this practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported; and (3) as a result, Defendants\u2019 positive statements about the Company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and\/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.<\/p>
