The goal is to capture the remaining market share still using older technology, as evidenced by the fact that the utility water product line makes up about 88% of total sales.

Deepen relationships with key municipal water distributors for preferred status.

The focus on the utility sector is paramount, given that this segment generated net sales of $460.3 million over the first six months of 2025. The overall total sales for Badger Meter, Inc. in Q3 2025 reached $235.7 million, a 13% increase over the prior year's $208.4 million, indicating strong partnership execution within the municipal space. This strategy supports the company's stated gross margin improvement, which reached 41.1% of sales in Q2 2025, partly due to favorable product mix, which includes higher-margin SaaS revenues.

Finance: draft the Q4 2025 sales forecast based on a 10% year-over-year growth assumption for the utility water segment by next Tuesday.

The European utility market presents a clear path for Market Development, especially with smart water technology. The Europe smart water meter market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.60% between 2025 and 2034. To succeed, adapting to local standards is key; for instance, RF technologies based on the EN 13757 standard accounted for roughly 43 percent of all Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) endpoints installed in Europe at the end of 2024. Badger Meter Europa GmbH, headquartered in Neuffen, Germany, serves as the hub for these European efforts, combining global innovation with local R&D.

Leverage the $7.5 billion US federal infrastructure bill to secure new state-level projects.

The push for modernization is massive, with the U.S. facing a water infrastructure deficit of $434 billion by 2029. While the broader Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) allocated over $50 billion for water upgrades, your specific focus is on securing projects tied to the $7.5 billion federal allocation you mentioned. It is important to note that as of January 2025, there was still 'chatter' but little AMI activity financed with federal infrastructure spend to-date. This suggests the real acceleration for securing state-level projects is still in the near term, making this a prime area for aggressive sales channel focus now.

Introduce existing water quality monitoring products to the agricultural irrigation sector.

The Irrigation Machinery Market size is valued at $7.6 billion in 2025, showing a substantial addressable market for water quality monitoring solutions. Badger Meter, Inc.'s existing water quality monitoring products, part of the BlueEdge suite, can be introduced here to help agricultural users optimize yield and water efficiency. For context, grains and cereals commanded 38.20% market share in 2024, and specialty crops like fruits and vegetables are projected to expand at a 9.80% CAGR through 2030, indicating a willingness to invest in yield-optimizing technologies.

Establish a dedicated sales channel for Latin American municipal water systems.

Establishing a dedicated channel means ensuring local support and language accessibility. Badger Meter, Inc. already lists Español (Latinoamérica) as a language option on its distributor portal, which is a foundational step. Furthermore, the company has operational presence in the region, evidenced by a facility in Nogales, Mexico, which handles exports primarily to Mexico. Direct municipal focus in Latin America requires leveraging these existing touchpoints to build out a specialized sales structure beyond current distributor networks.

Here are some key figures grounding these market development strategies:

The utility water segment's growth, at 16% in Q1 2025, shows the core business is strong enough to fund these new market explorations. The acquisition of SmartCover in January 2025 added 6% to organic sales in Q1, showing that strategic M&A is also being used to accelerate market entry in adjacent areas like sewer monitoring.

You'll want Finance to track the conversion rate of state-level bids against the federal infrastructure spend pipeline, aiming for a measurable increase in international pipeline value by Q4 2025.
