MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Badger Meter, Inc.<\/a> (NYSE: BMI) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.\n<\/p>\n Second Quarter 2021 Highlights<\/span><\/p>\n \n\u201cBadger Meter executed well in the quarter, delivering record sales and strong earnings,\u201d said Kenneth C. Bockhorst, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cOrder rates remained robust, carrying-on the momentum from the first quarter as utility customers continued to select our innovative digital water technologies, and global flow instrumentation market activity stabilized. Conversion of orders into sales remained hampered by strained electronic and other component availability, along with logistics challenges, resulting in a further expansion of our already record-high backlog. I want to thank the Badger Meter team for admirably managing through these dynamic market conditions in support of our customers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Second Quarter Operating Results<\/span><\/p>\n \nStrong order activity, the addition of the water quality acquisitions, and an easier coronavirus-related prior year comparison, led to a 38% year-over-year increase in utility water sales. Excluding the $12.2 million sales contribution from acquisitions, core utility water sales increased 22% over the prior year with growth in BEACON\u00ae<\/sup> SaaS revenue, strong AMR and ORION\u00ae<\/sup> cellular-based AMI demand, and favorable value-based pricing realization. Utility water backlog reached another record milestone as robust order momentum exceeded sales in the quarter, the result of sporadic supply chain disruptions which limited manufacturing output.\n<\/p>\n \nSales of flow instrumentation products also grew 22% year-over-year. Stabilizing order trends globally, combined with an easier prior year comparison, led to the double digit increase across the array of end markets and applications.\n<\/p>\n \nOperating margins of 15.2% were 130 basis points higher than the prior year\u2019s 13.9%. Gross margin dollars increased $14.3 million year-over-year, and gross margin percent improved 150 basis points to 40.8% from the prior year\u2019s 39.3%. The quarter benefitted from favorable acquisition and product sales mix, including higher SaaS revenues, as well as the benefit of value-based pricing initiatives. These benefits were modestly offset by the impact of higher brass and other supply chain and logistics costs.\n<\/p>\n \nSelling, engineering and administration (\u201cSEA\u201d) expenses in the second quarter of 2021 of $31.4 million increased $8.2 million from the prior year\u2019s $23.2 million which encompassed employee furlough and other expense reduction actions taken in response to COVID-19 lockdowns. The current year expense includes the water quality acquisitions, including the resultant intangible asset amortization. The tax rate of 25.0% was modestly higher than the prior year\u2019s 24.3%.\n<\/p>\n Strategic Review and Outlook<\/span><\/p>\n \nBockhorst continued, \u201cOur expanding portfolio of end-to-end smart water offerings bring flexibility, insight and proactive intelligence for optimal water management to our customers. The sustained high order level is evidence that utility and industrial customers are willing to invest in our innovative and industry leading solutions. We remain focused on converting our robust order book, opportunity pipeline and existing record backlog into sales as we continue to navigate the broad-based waves of component shortages, allocations and lengthened lead times that we anticipate will persist at least through the remainder of the year. In addition, we are generating strong profitability amidst what is a more challenging price\/cost environment, with our focus on value-based pricing. Finally, we are advancing the already strong progress on acquisition integration and execution of related growth strategies.\n<\/p>\n \n“Our strong cash flow and credit availability provide us with ample financial flexibility to execute our capital allocation priorities and invest in growth. We recently upsized our credit facility to $150 million, adding an accordion and other features as part of the replacement of our expiring facility. We currently have no outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nBockhorst concluded, “Badger Meter has a proven portfolio of solutions to solve customers\u2019 water management needs. Healthy demand for these innovative and trusted offerings, along with our strong balance sheet, give us confidence in our long term growth outlook as we help to preserve the world\u2019s most precious resource.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Conference Call and Webcast Information<\/span><\/p>\n \nBadger Meter management will hold a conference call to discuss the company\u2019s second quarter 2021 results today, Tuesday July 20, 2021 at 10:00 AM Central\/11:00 AM Eastern time.
