Item 2.02 |
Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
| On February 16, 2011, Itron, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing their financial results for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2010. | |
| Also contained within the press release is the unaudited quarterly financial information for the first three quarters of 2010, which has been restated. The restatement was made primarily to defer revenue previously recognized on one contract. While the restatement is not material to the first three quarters of 2010, the Company concluded that the aggregate correction would be material to the fourth quarter of 2010. | |
| A copy of this press release and accompanying financial statements are attached as Exhibit 99.1. | |

Press Release dated February 16, 2011. |
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.
