<br> 2026 PROXY STATEMENT &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ITRON, INC. 1 <br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Proxy Statement

#### Record Date and Outstanding Shares
Holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on March 3, 2026, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. On the record date, there were 44,319,803 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of our common stock will entitle its holder to one vote on the one director to be elected and one vote on each other matter to be voted on at the annual meeting. Each of our directors and executive officers intends to vote or direct the vote of all shares of common stock over which he or she has voting control in favor of: (1) the election of the nominees for director; (2) the advisory approval of the compensation we paid our named executive officers in 2025; and (3) the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accountant for the 2026 fiscal year.

#### Quorum and Voting
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share of common stock held on each matter to be voted on. Our annual meeting will be through a virtual-only format solely through means of remote communication, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock on the record date will constitute a quorum. Attendance by abstentions and "broker non-votes" (shares held by a broker or nominee who does not have the authority, express or discretionary, to vote on a particular matter) on any of the proposals to be voted on will be counted only for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

The following summarizes the votes required for passage of each proposal:

*<u>Proposal One – Election of Directors</u>: Each nominee for director is elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director's election (meaning the number of votes cast "for" a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" such nominee). Holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative votes in the election of directors. Abstentions from voting on this matter will not be counted and will have no effect. Brokers and other holders of record do not have discretionary voting authority to vote your shares in the election of directors, absent voting instructions from you. Therefore, if you are a beneficial shareholder and do not provide voting instructions on Proposal 1 to the holder of record for your shares, they will not be voted in the election of directors and will have no effect.*

*<u>Proposal Two – Say-on-Pay Vote (non-binding)</u>: The non-binding advisory vote on this proposal will be approved if the majority of votes cast are in favor of the proposal (meaning the number of votes cast "for" the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "against" the proposal). Abstentions from voting on this matter will not be counted and will have no effect. Brokers and other holders of record do not have discretionary voting authority to vote your shares for this proposal, absent voting instructions from you. Therefore, if you are a beneficial shareholder and do not provide voting instructions on Proposal 2 to the holder of record for your shares, they will not be voted on this proposal and will have no effect.* 

*<u>Proposal Three – Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditor</u>: The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accountant for 2026 will be ratified if the majority of the votes cast are in favor of the proposal (meaning the number of votes cast "for" the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "against" the proposal). Abstentions from voting on this matter will not be counted and will have no effect. Brokers and other holders of record do have discretionary authority to vote shares on this matter. Therefore, there will be no broker non-votes on the ratification of the Company's independent registered public accountant.*

Unless contrary instructions are specified, if the proxy is completed and submitted (and not revoked) prior to the annual meeting, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted as follows: (i) FOR each of the five nominees presented under Proposal One and FOR Proposals Two and Three; and (ii) in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the annual meeting.

#### How to Vote Your Shares in Person and Participate at the Annual Meeting
This year's annual meeting will be held entirely online. Shareholders may participate in the annual meeting by visiting the following website: **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ITRI2026**. To participate in the meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted electronically during the annual meeting. Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record may also be voted electronically during the annual meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the annual meeting.

<br> 2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ITRON, INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT <br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Proxy Statement

#### How to Vote Your Shares without Attending the Annual Meeting
To vote your shares without attending the meeting, please follow the instructions for Internet or telephone voting on the Notice. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card and returning it by mail, if you are the shareholder of record, or by signing the voter instruction form provided by your bank or broker and returning it by mail, if you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record. This way your shares will be represented whether or not you are able to attend the meeting.

You may vote your shares in one of several ways, depending on how you own your shares.

#### Registered Shareholders (Shares held in your name)
Registered shareholders can vote in person, by Internet, by telephone, or by mail, by casting their vote as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Accessing the Internet website specified in the Notice of Internet Availability and following the instructions provided on the website (or if printed copies of the proxy materials were requested, as specified in the printed proxy card);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Requesting a printed proxy card and either calling the telephone number specified on the proxy card and following the instructions provided on the phone line, or completing, signing, dating, and promptly mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Attending and voting in person at the annual meeting.

#### Beneficial Shareholders (Shares held in the name of a broker, bank, or other holder of record on your behalf)
If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee or holder of record, follow the voting instructions on the voting instruction form provided to you by the holder of record to vote your shares. Uninstructed shares will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect, except with respect to Proposal 3, for which brokers and custodians have discretion to vote.

#### Revocability of Proxies
Shares represented at the annual meeting by properly signed proxies will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time before the vote. Mere attendance at the annual meeting will not revoke a proxy. A proxy may be revoked only by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• submitting a later-dated proxy by mail, by Internet or by telephone for the same shares at any time before the proxy is voted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delivering written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at any time before the vote; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the annual meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the annual meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn).

#### Proxy Solicitation
The Board of Directors is responsible for the solicitation of proxies for the annual meeting. We have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and provide voting and tabulation services. We will bear the cost of such solicitation of proxies. We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, and we may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. We may solicit proxies by personal contact, mail, email or telephone. In addition, our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone, without additional compensation.

<br> 2026 PROXY STATEMENT &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ITRON, INC. 3 <br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors (Board) is divided into three classes, with each director holding office for a three-year term or until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation, or removal from office. At the annual meeting, shareholders are being asked to re-elect two Class 3 directors for a term of two years and three Class 1 directors for a term of three years, or in each case, until their death, resignation, or removal from office or their successors are duly elected and qualified. Scott D. Drury and Sheri L. Savage, Class 3 directors appointed in August 2025, are being nominated in accordance with the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, which state that a director elected to fill a Board vacancy shall only serve until the next election of directors by shareholders.

Unless authority is withheld, the persons named as proxies will vote for the election of the nominees listed below. If any of the nominees become unavailable to serve, the persons named as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote for a substitute nominee.

Our Board has nominated the following persons for election to the Board. Each nominee is currently a director and has indicated that he or she is willing and able to continue to serve as a director.

<u>Class 3 (to serve until the 2028 annual meeting)</u>

Scott D. Drury

Sheri L. Savage

<u>Class 1 (to serve until the 2029 annual meeting)</u>

Frank M. Jaehnert

Jerome J. Lande

Sanjay Mirchandani

We have concluded that the nominees up for re-election, as well as the other directors who will continue in office, have the skills, experience, knowledge, and personal attributes that are necessary to effectively serve on our Board. As described below in their biographies and the section "*Director and Director Nominee Qualifications*" that follows, the qualifications of our directors and director nominees support our conclusion that each of the individuals should serve as a director in light of our current business operations and structure.

**The Board recommends that shareholders**<br>**vote "FOR" the election of each of the**<br>**director nominees.**<br>

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity as one of several factors relating to overall composition when recommending nominations to our Board. Although we do not have a formal policy governing how diversity is considered, our Corporate Governance Guiding Principles (Governance Principles) state that diversity is an aspect that should be considered with respect to director nominations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee examines the entire Board Membership and construes diversity broadly to include diversity of experience, thought, and skills, as well as

<br> 14 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ITRON, INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT <br>

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DIRECTORS

other traditional diversity concepts. As a result, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives to ensure when recommending nominations to our Board that our Board is represented by individuals with a variety of different opinions, perspectives, personal, professional, and industry experience and backgrounds, skills, and expertise. In addition, as part of our effort to provide for fresh perspectives and diverse views on our Board, our Governance Principles require that a director will not be nominated for a new term if, upon such nomination, the director would be 75 years of age or older or if the director has served five full terms on the Board, unless the Board determines it to be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to renominate the director.

#### Director Qualifications and Attributes
We have concluded that all of our directors, including the nominees for re-election, have the skills, experience, knowledge, and personal attributes that are necessary to effectively serve on our Board and to contribute to the overall success of our Company. We believe that the diverse background of each of our Board members ensures that we have a Board that has a broad range of industry-related knowledge, experience, and business acumen. *See also* "*CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – Director Nominations by Shareholders*" in this proxy statement.

#### Compensation of Directors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews compensation paid to non-employee directors and makes recommendations for adjustment, as appropriate, to the Board. The Board last adjusted the compensation paid to non-employee directors effective January 1, 2024. Both equity and cash compensation paid to our directors in 2025 was determined using benchmark data from our peer companies provided by the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook).

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### Leadership Structure of the Board of Directors
The leadership of our Board is managed by our Board Chair. Our Governance Principles generally require the role of Board Chair to be held by an independent director who meets the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board believes having separate roles of Board Chair and CEO allows for a more balanced workload between the Board Chair and the CEO, especially in light of the current duties and responsibilities of the Board Chair, which include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preside over all meetings of the Board (including executive sessions of the Board) and meetings of the shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review the agendas of each Board and committee meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prepare agendas as needed for executive sessions of the independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Serve as a liaison between the independent directors and the CEO;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In consultation with the CEO, make recommendations to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as to membership of Board committees and appointment of Board committee Chairs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Perform such other duties as the Board may require.

Pursuant to our Governance Principles, the Board Chair must be an independent director unless the Board determines that the best interests of shareholders would otherwise be better served. The Board Chair is elected by a majority of the members of the Board following the annual meeting of shareholders (or at such other time as a vacancy for the role of Board Chair may occur). The Board Chair serves for a term of three years (provided such director is re-elected by shareholders if his or her term as a director does not coincide with his or her term as Board Chair). The Board Chair may not serve more than two consecutive terms unless the Board approves an extended term. Our current Chair, Diana D. Tremblay, is serving her first term.

If the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to combine the roles of CEO and Board Chair, the Board will appoint a Lead Independent Director with the duties set forth in our Governance Principles.

#### Corporate Governance Guiding Principles
The Company's Governance Principles are available on the Company's website, *www.itron.com*, by selecting "Investor Relations," "Sustainability and Governance" and then "Policies and Guidelines."

#### Board Matters – Meeting Attendance
Our business, property, and affairs are managed under the oversight of our Board. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our CEO and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them, by visiting our offices, and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

In accordance with our Governance Principles, directors are expected to attend the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. Seven of our directors serving at the time of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders attended the meeting. During 2025, the Board met ten times. All the directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served. Also, in accordance with our Governance Principles, our independent directors meet in an executive session as often as necessary, but no less than two times annually.

#### Director Independence
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq). Under the Nasdaq listing rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company's board of directors. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if that company's board of directors determines that the person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that a majority of our Board are independent directors as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules and the SEC rules, with Mr. Deitrich serving as the sole non-independent director. As Mr. Deitrich does not serve on any committees, and as recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that all members of Itron's committees are independent under SEC rules and Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, as recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that all members of our Audit/Finance Committee are independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).

#### Committees of the Board
We have three committees to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities: Nominating and Corporate Governance, Audit/Finance, and Compensation. Each of the three current committees operates under a written charter that has been approved by the Board. The committee charters are reviewed annually and are updated as necessary to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and evolving oversight practices. All of the current committee charters are available on the Company's website, *www.itron.com, by selecting "Investor Relations," "Sustainability and Governance" and then "Committee Composition."* The table below provides membership of each committee at the end of fiscal year 2025, followed by a description of each committee's responsibilities.

#### Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (NCGC) is primarily responsible for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing and implementing our Governance Principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overseeing the process for evaluating the performance of our Board Chair and the CEO, as well as the other directors and the Board as a whole;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determining the qualifications of the directors serving on the Board, including their independence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recommending candidates to serve on the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to candidates for directors proposed by shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### Audit/Finance Committee
The Audit/Finance Committee (AFC) is primarily responsible for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of our financial statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approving the compensation of our independent auditors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing with management our business financial risks and the process by which management assesses and manages such financial risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• selecting, retaining, or terminating our independent auditors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitoring compliance with our code of conduct.

The Board has determined that all members of the AFC are independent under SEC rules and Nasdaq listing rules, including Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The NCGC has determined that all of the current members of the AFC are financially literate in accordance with the Standards of Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(iv), and "audit committee financial experts" as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

#### Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee (CC) is primarily responsible for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recommending to the Board our CEO's total annual and long-term incentive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• setting compensation levels for our other executive officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overseeing the administration of various incentive compensation and benefit plans, which includes an annual evaluation of our compensation plans and policies.

The CC, when appropriate, may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Board or to Company officers. The Board has determined that all members of the CC are independent under SEC rules and Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, all CC members are "non-employee directors" under Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. *See* "*EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" in this proxy statement for more information on the CC's responsibilities regarding the compensation of our executive officers.

#### Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of our Board's Compensation Committee has served as an officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board's Compensation Committee.

#### Transactions with Related Persons
There were no related person transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in fiscal year 2025. In order to determine this, the Board requires our executive officers, directors and director nominees to disclose certain information regarding related person transactions. Generally, a "related person transaction" is a transaction (including any indebtedness or a guarantee of indebtedness) that involves the Company's directors, executive officers, director nominees, 5% or more beneficial owners of the Company's common stock, immediate family members of these persons, or entities in which one of these persons has a direct or indirect material interest. The current threshold required to be disclosed under SEC regulations is $120,000. Under its charter, the Audit/Finance Committee of the Board has been delegated with the responsibility of reviewing and approving any related person transactions and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also provides input in that regard.

#### Our Board's Role in Risk Oversight
The Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, including, as part of regular Board and committee meetings, general oversight of our executives' management of risks relevant to the Company. The Board determines, directly or through Board committees, whether: (i) there are adequate processes designed and implemented by Company management such that risks have been identified and are being managed; (ii) the risk management processes are intended to ensure that Company risks are taken into account in corporate decision-making; and (iii) the risk management processes and procedures ensure that material risks to the Company are brought to the attention of the Board or an appropriate committee of the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Company's risk management processes are reviewed periodically (but at least once a year) by either the Board or an appropriate committee to which the Board has delegated specific oversight responsibility, as described below. Throughout the year, the Board and each committee spend a portion of their time reviewing and discussing specific risk topics. Committee Chairs regularly report to the full Board on actions taken at committee meetings. At least annually, the Board conducts a review of our long-term strategic plans, and at each of our quarterly meetings, our General Counsel updates the Board on material legal and regulatory matters.

Following a review of the Company's current risk management systems and processes, the Board has concluded that the current allocation of oversight responsibilities between the Board and its committees is adequate, provided that the committees continue to coordinate their risk oversight responsibilities, share information appropriately with the other Board members, and provide timely and adequate reports to the full Board. The Board continually evaluates its risk oversight role.

#### Code of Conduct
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and any subsidiary of the Company and is available on the Company's website, *www.itron.com*, by selecting "Investor Relations," "Sustainability and Governance" and then "Policies and Guidelines." In addition, we have adopted policies and procedures for reporting and investigating suspected violations of the Code of Conduct. The Company intends to satisfy any future disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding an amendment to or waiver from application of or provisions of the Code of Conduct, that applies to the CEO or the CFO, by posting such information on our website, *www.itron.com*.

#### Insider Trading Policies and Procedures
The Company has an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees. The Company believes its insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards. A copy of the Company's insider trading policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

#### Anti-Hedging Policy
The Company has adopted an Anti-Hedging Policy that prohibits our directors, officers, and employees from entering into transactions involving our securities that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Itron securities. *See* "*EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Anti-Hedging Policy*" in this proxy statement for more information on this policy.

#### Director Term Limit and Retirement Guidelines
Our Governance Principles include a term limit provision to encourage Board refreshment. Non-executive directors are not eligible to stand for re-election after serving as a director for five full terms on the Board, with limited exceptions. Additionally, directors may not be nominated or appointed after age 75, unless the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to extend the director's period of eligible service.

#### Director Nominations by Shareholders
In accordance with the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, in order to nominate a director for election to the Board at an annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must deliver written notice of such nomination to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company's executive offices no fewer than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the annual meeting (or if less than 60 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is given or made to the shareholders, not later than the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made). The notice of a shareholder's intention to nominate a director must include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the name and address of the shareholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a representation that the shareholder is entitled to vote at the meeting at which directors will be elected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a statement of the number of shares of the Company that are beneficially owned by the shareholder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice;

and the following information with respect to the person nominated by the shareholder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• name and address;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other information regarding such nominee as would be required in a proxy statement filed pursuant to applicable SEC rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a description of any arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and the nominee and any other persons (including their names), pursuant to which the nomination is made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the consent of such nominee to serve as a director, if elected.

Any notice of director nomination submitted to Itron must include the additional information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act.

Other directors and senior management of the Company may also recommend director nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates director nominees, including nominees that are submitted to the Company by a shareholder, taking into consideration the qualification criteria set forth under "*ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – Director and Director Nominee Qualifications*" in this proxy statement. In the event of a shareholder recommendation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee screens and evaluates the person recommended in the same manner as other candidates. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines if the proposed director nominee will have sufficient time available to effectively carry out his or her Board duties and responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may then recommend the director candidate to the Board for its consideration, if deemed appropriate.

#### Shareholder Communications with the Board
The Company's Board provides a process whereby shareholders may contact the Board or any committee as a group or any committee Chair or individual director, by email addressed to *boardofdirectors@itron.com*. Shareholders should clearly specify in each communication the name of the director to whom the communication is addressed. Shareholders may also write to the Board or any committee as a group or any committee Chair or individual director by sending the communication to: Itron, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2111 N. Molter Road, Liberty Lake, WA 99019. Communications may also be submitted through the Company's website, *www.itron.com*, by selecting "Investor Relations," "Sustainability and Governance" and then "Contact the Board."

Shareholder communications are delivered directly to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, who then determines whether to forward such communications to the specified director addressees. You can access a description of the process that the Corporate Secretary uses for determining whether to forward shareholders' communications to directors at our website, *www.itron.com*, by selecting "Investor Relations," "Sustainability and Governance" and then "Contact the Board."

Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to the 2027 annual shareholders meeting should follow the procedures specified under "*SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2027 ANNUAL MEETING*" in this proxy statement. Shareholders wishing to nominate directors should follow the procedures specified under "*CORPORATE GOVERNANCE* – *Director Nominations by Shareholders*" in this proxy statement.

#### PROPOSAL 2 – ADVISORY APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-PAY)
We are asking our shareholders to approve a non-binding advisory resolution on the Company's executive compensation program for our named executive officers (NEOs) (commonly known as "say-on-pay") as we have described them in this proxy statement. Although this advisory vote is non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions for our executives. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) section of this proxy statement, we believe our executive compensation program is reasonable, competitive and strongly focused on pay-for-performance principles that will result in the creation of long-term shareholder value. Some of the features of our executive compensation program that illustrate our philosophy are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A significant portion of an NEO's compensation is at-risk or performance-based and subject to the Company's operating and financial performance. In fiscal year 2025, the executive compensation package (base salary and short- and long-term incentives at target) included 90% of at-risk compensation for the CEO and an average of 78% of at-risk compensation for the other NEOs. Our long-term incentive plan (LTIP) for equity award grants has three-year performance periods, with one-year averages determined each year for measurement purposes, to encourage NEOs to make decisions that align our long-term goals with shareholder interests and to discourage excessive risk taking.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock ownership guidelines require executive officers who are NEOs to acquire and hold certain amounts of Itron stock to further strengthen alignment of management's interest with those of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Board has adopted the 2023 Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy in accordance with Rule 10D-1 under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the corresponding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. This policy applies to our current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1, including the NEOs. In the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct a material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including restatements that correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the policy provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by its executive officers on or after the policy's effective date. In addition, we have established an Incentive Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy, which will continue to apply to incentive-based compensation received prior to December 1, 2024. Under that policy, in the event of a restatement of the Company's financial results, the Compensation Committee, as designated by the Board, may review all cash or equity incentive awards that were based in whole or in part on the achievement of certain financial results. If the Compensation Committee, as designated by the Board, determines that fraud has resulted in a material financial restatement, the Board is required to demand repayment of the full award, net of taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We maintain our long-standing commitment to strong corporate governance by continuing our policies of (i) separate Board Chair and CEO roles, (ii) majority voting for directors, (iii) all independent Board members (except our CEO) and all independent committee members, (iv) executive sessions of independent directors, and (v) prohibition on hedging or pledging of Itron stock by our executive officers.

We believe our executive compensation policies have enabled us to retain and attract exceptional senior executives whose talent and experience have helped Itron become a leader in our industry. Our Compensation Committee (which provides overall direction for our executive compensation program for our NEOs other than our CEO) and the independent members of the Board (who determine the executive compensation program for our CEO) believe the fiscal year 2025 compensation paid to our NEOs is reasonable and appropriate and adequately reflects the Company's overall performance in 2025.

#### Executive Summary

#### Business Performance
Itron's operational and financial performance in 2025 continued to improve and support confidence in the Company's long-term strategic objectives. Record financial achievements include gross margin, non-GAAP earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. Other indicators of strategic progress and customer adoption of grid edge intelligence technology include: a ~25% increase in distributed intelligence endpoints to 16.7 million at year-end, a ~68% increase in distributed intelligence applications to 25.7 million at year-end, and growth of our Outcomes segment backlog which is now greater than one billion dollars.

We also deployed a substantial proportion of our cash on hand during the fourth quarter of 2025 towards our top two capital allocation objectives. We took advantage of equity market volatility and purchased $100 million of Itron shares at an attractive price and increased our capacity for future buybacks to $250 million. Lastly, in the 4th quarter we successfully acquired Urbint, Inc., a provider of AI-enhanced solutions for emergency preparedness and response, damage prevention, and worker safety. We also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Locusview Ltd, a provider of solutions for digital construction management, which automates processes from planning to close-out. Both acquisitions diversify our portfolio of offerings and enhance our position as the intelligent infrastructure for energy and water systems across all phases of our customers' asset lifecycles.

We continually refine our business to tailor our offerings to align with how our customers envision their investment patterns will evolve over the coming years. As a result, we have developed a range of solutions for energy and water utilities that are agile and address a variety of critical challenges that are becoming more frequent and acute as infrastructure ages, environmental challenges increase, and the need for engagement with rate payers has become more important than ever before.

Our customers are operating in an environment of heightened infrastructure demands, driven by growth in electricity usage, reliability expectations, affordability concerns, and the need to modernize aging systems. These conditions require sustained, long-term investment by utilities and shape the operating and spending priorities of our end markets. Against this backdrop, we believe our strategy can deliver durable earnings growth and compound shareholder value over time.

Itron's 2025 revenue, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share<sup>(1)(2)</sup> (non-GAAP diluted EPS), and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)<sup>(1)(3)</sup> are as follows (compared with 2024):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue of approximately $2.4 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $7.13 increased approximately 27%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $373.8 million increased approximately 16%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) A schedule reconciling non-GAAP diluted EPS to net income attributable to Itron, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Itron, Inc. is available on pages 43-46 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is also provided in Appendix A of this proxy statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) We define non-GAAP diluted EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average shares, on a diluted basis, outstanding during each period.

<br> 26 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ITRON, INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (a) minus interest income, (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.

#### Compensation Highlights
Our executive compensation program has three primary elements: base salary, annual cash incentives (as part of our Itron Incentive Plan (IIP)), and long-term equity incentives (as part of our Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)). Each of these compensation elements serves a specific purpose in our compensation strategy. Base salary is an essential component to any market-competitive compensation program. Annual incentives reward the achievement of short-term goals, while long-term incentives drive our NEOs to focus on long-term sustainable shareholder value creation.

Below are key highlights of the executive compensation decisions the Compensation Committee made for fiscal year 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salary: Approved base salary increases for all the NEOs, ranging from 4.0% to 11.1%. *See "Base Salary" in this CD&A for details.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• IIP:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Approved IIP financial targets based on 2025 budget;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Continued to prioritize financial performance focused on profitability and revenue growth, as well as holding NEOs accountable for driving non-financial results linked to the Company's strategic goals. For 2025, the Committee included annual global growth initiative (GGI) bookings and annual software and services revenue as equally-weighted non-financial metrics. The Compensation Committee believes that together these measures will accelerate high-growth opportunities in targeted regions, supporting our strategic priority of driving revenue at scale; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Approved actual IIP payouts to the NEOs of 105.9% of target based on our strong performance. *See "Annual Cash Incentives: The Itron Incentive Plan (IIP)" in this CD&A for details.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• LTIP:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Adjusted target award opportunities for competitive positioning relative to market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Continued strong alignment with shareholders by keeping an emphasis on performance-based equity for the CEO with an annual target LTIP award mix of 67% performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) and 33% time-vested restricted stock units (RSUs). The annual target LTIP awards for all other NEOs continue to be comprised of 50% PRSUs and 50% RSUs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Certified that the NEOs earned 250.00% of their target PRSUs for the 2023-2025 performance cycle. This attainment is the combination of an average non-GAAP diluted EPS target attainment of 200.00% and a total shareholder return (TSR) multiplier of 1.25. *See "Long-Term Incentives — The Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)" in this CD&A for details.* 

#### Best Compensation Practices & Policies
We believe the Company's practices and policies promote sound compensation governance and are in the best interests of our shareholders and executives:

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

#### 2025 Say-On-Pay & Shareholder Engagement
Each year, we carefully consider the results of our shareholder say-on-pay vote from the preceding year. We also consider the feedback we receive from our major shareholders, which is solicited by the Board Chair and the Chair of the Compensation Committee, either in person or via telephone.

In 2025, approximately 97% of the votes cast supported our executive compensation decisions. The Board regularly conducts proactive outreach meetings with the Company's largest shareholders. During 2025, the Company offered meetings to shareholders representing in excess of 69% of the shares outstanding to invite them to have discussions with our directors on topics including Company strategy and performance, governance, and executive compensation. Of those to whom we reached out, investors representing about a quarter of shares outstanding accepted our offer to meet. During these meetings, our shareholders continued to be supportive of our approach to executive compensation, and we are committed to keeping our program aligned with our business strategy and investor expectations. Specifically, our shareholders believe performance measures should primarily focus on profitability and revenue growth, as our IIP does, and were supportive of the non-financial goals component to add accountability for driving results linked to the Company's strategic goals.

We will continue to keep an open dialogue with our shareholders to help ensure that we have a regular pulse on investor perspectives.

#### What Guides Our Program

#### Our Compensation Philosophy & Objectives
The philosophy underlying our executive compensation program is to employ the best leaders in our industry to ensure we execute on our business goals, promote both short-and long-term profitable growth of the Company, and create long-term sustainable shareholder value, all grounded in the following guiding principles:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Pay for Performance** | A significant portion of an executive's total compensation should be variable ("at-risk") and dependent upon the attainment of certain specific and measurable annual and long-term financial and strategic performance objectives.  |
| **Shareholder Alignment** | Executives should be compensated through pay elements (annual and long-term incentives) designed to align executive compensation to the creation of long-term value for our shareholders.  |
| **Competitiveness** | Target compensation should be set at the median to ensure that compensation is at a level that is competitive with that being offered to individuals holding comparable positions at other companies with which we compete for business and leadership talent.  |
| **Attraction and Retention** | The executive compensation program should enable the Company to attract highly talented people with exceptional leadership capabilities and to retain high-caliber talent. When required, the Company may adjust individual elements of compensation to accomplish this goal. |

#### Linking Pay and Performance
A key component of our executive compensation philosophy is the link between compensation and overall business results and shareholder value creation.

As shown in the charts below, 90% of our CEO Mr. Deitrich's target TDC for 2025 was variable, with 65% tied to measurable performance goals (PRSUs and short-term incentives) and 76% linked to the value of our stock price (PRSUs and RSUs). For our other NEOs, an average of 78% of their 2025 target TDC was variable. These charts do not include any one-time equity grants or awards outside of target annual TDC, if any.

![](ny20057844x1_piechart2.jpg)<br>

Note: Figures may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

#### Our Decision-Making Process

#### The Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The Committee works very closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company's executive compensation program throughout the year. Details of the Committee's authority and responsibilities are specified in the Compensation Committee's charter, which may be accessed at our website, *www.itron.com*, by selecting "Investors Relations," "Sustainability and Governance," and then "Committee Composition."

The Committee makes all final compensation and equity award decisions regarding our NEOs, except for the CEO, whose compensation is determined by the independent members of the full Board, based upon the recommendations of the Committee.

#### The Role of Management
Members of our management team attend regular Compensation Committee meetings where executive compensation, Company and individual performance, and competitive compensation levels and practices are discussed and evaluated. Only the Committee members can vote on decisions regarding NEO compensation.

The CEO reviews his recommendations pertaining to the compensation of the other NEOs with the Committee providing management input, transparency, and oversight. Approval of NEO compensation other than CEO compensation is made by the Committee. The CEO does not participate in the deliberations of the Committee regarding his own compensation. Independent members of the Board make all final determinations regarding CEO compensation.

#### The Role of the Independent Consultant
The Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide expertise on competitive pay practices, program design, and an objective assessment of any inherent risks of any programs. Pursuant to the authority granted to it under its charter, the Committee has hired FW Cook as its independent consultant. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and does not provide any additional services to management. The Committee has conducted an independence assessment of FW Cook in accordance with SEC rules and concluded that FW Cook is independent.

#### The Role of Peer Companies
For some of our direct competitors who are not publicly held, or are smaller business units within a conglomerate, there is limited compensation information available. As a result, our peer companies for purposes of informing executive compensation (Peer Companies) generally consist of direct competitors for which public information is available or companies that compete for our talent, who are part of the same broad Standard & Poor's (S&P) industry classifications of technology hardware and equipment or in software and services, and who are similar in size and scope of global operations as Itron. The Committee reviews the Peer Companies on an annual basis.

For the purpose of setting 2025 compensation, the Committee conducted an in-depth assessment of potential comparators to evaluate the degree to which the current Peer Companies are consistent with Itron's growth and evolution. The Committee also took into consideration the broader marketplace to identify appropriate and relevant additions and removals from the current Peer Companies. As a result of this review, and in consultation with FW Cook, there were no changes to the Peer Companies for 2025:

For each of the Peer Companies, data regarding base salaries, annual incentives, and long-term incentives was obtained from their annual proxy statements and other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This data was supplemented with survey data from the Radford McLagan Compensation Database, which provides compensation market information on more than 2,400 technology companies, aggregated, and presented anonymously. The Radford Survey data was narrowed to those technology companies with revenues between $1 billion and $3 billion, similar to Itron.

With the support of FW Cook, the Committee evaluates this data for informational purposes when establishing a range of competitive compensation for our NEOs. For each NEO, the Committee determines the salary range, annual incentive target, and long-term incentive taking into consideration market data for the position being evaluated. However, market data is not the sole determinant of the Company's practices or executive compensation levels. The Committee also considers the experience, performance, responsibilities, and contributions to the Company by each NEO when making its decisions. For the CEO, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, and the independent members of the Board review and approve the CEO's compensation.

#### The 2025 Executive Compensation Program in Detail

#### Base Salary
Base salary represents annual fixed compensation and is a standard element of compensation necessary to attract and retain executive leadership talent. In making base salary decisions, the Committee considers the CEO's recommendations for NEO compensation (other than the CEO), as well as each NEO's position and level of responsibility within the Company. The Committee considers factors such as relevant market data as well as individual performance and contributions. After its annual review, the Committee approved merit-based base salary increases for all the NEOs, consistent with the timing and budget for Company-wide merit adjustments and informed by competitive market data. In approving the CEO's increase, the Committee considered Mr. Deitrich's strong performance, the scope and complexity of the role, and year-over-year increases in market compensation levels, and determined that an adjustment was appropriate to maintain alignment with the market. The annual base salary rates for 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **NEO** | **2024** | **2025** | **% Increase**  |
| **Thomas L. Deitrich** | $900000 | $1000000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1%  |
| **Joan S. Hooper** | $550000 | $572000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.0%  |
| **Donald L. Reeves** | $470000 | $489000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.0%  |
| **John F. Marcolini** | $460000 | $478000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.9%  |
| **Justin K. Patrick** | $415000 | $440000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.0% |

---

#### Annual Cash Incentives: The Itron Incentive Plan (IIP)
The 2025 IIP provided our NEOs the opportunity to earn a performance-based annual cash bonus. Actual bonus payouts depend on the achievement of pre-determined financial and non-financial performance objectives. Financial objectives are subject to the achievement of a threshold Adjusted EBITDA goal and payouts can range from 0% to 150% of target award amounts. Non-financial objectives are based on Quantitative Strategic Goals and payouts can range between 0% and 100% of target award amounts. The Committee also retains discretion to apply a modifier to payouts under the IIP to either reduce or increase the payout based on its assessment of individual and/or business unit performance. As discussed below under "2025 Individual Performance," the Committee did not apply an individual modifier to 2025 payouts for any of the NEOs.

*2025 Target Annual Bonus Opportunities. Target annual bonus opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary and were established by the NEO's level of responsibility and his or her ability to impact overall results. The Committee also considers market data in setting target award amounts. NEO target annual bonus opportunities for 2025 remained unchanged from 2024. As a result, target annual bonus opportunities for 2025 were as follows:* 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **NEO** | **2025 Target IIP** <br>**(as a % of Base Salary)**  |
| **Thomas L. Deitrich** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;125%  |
| **Joan S. Hooper** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;75%  |
| **Donald L. Reeves** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;75%  |
| **John F. Marcolini** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;75%  |

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

*2025 Performance Objectives. An individual NEO's IIP award is based on the following mix of financial and non-financial objectives:*

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Performance Objectives** | **Performance Metrics** | **2025 IIP Weighting** | **Rationale**  |
| **Financial** <br>**(80%)** <br>**Maximum payout:** <br>**150% of target** | **Adjusted** <br>**EBITDA** | ![](ny20057844x1_pochart1.jpg)<br>| Focuses on profitable growth, while continuing to provide strong accountability for returns.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Adjusted EBITDA provides a more useful illustration of our financial performance and the ongoing operations of our business, since the adjustments exclude certain expenses that are not indicative of our recurring core operating results. This facilitates better comparisons to our historical performance and our competitors' operating results.  |

*2025 Financial Performance Levels & Results. The following table shows the financial performance necessary to achieve threshold (0% payout), target (100% payout), and maximum (150% payout) bonus amounts, along with actual results for 2025:* 

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Threshold** <br>**($M)** | **Target** <br>**($M)** | **Maximum** <br>**($M)** | **Actual Results** <br>**($M)**  |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $280.0 | $350.0 | $385.0 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$373.8  |
| Revenue | $2340.0 | $2465.0 | $2540.0 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2367.2 |

---

Note: Payouts are linearly interpolated for performance between threshold and maximum.

Each year, the Committee reviews the financial performance and considers adjustments for items that are not reflective of normal operating performance for that year. These adjustments are items that the Committee believes are fair to both participants and shareholders, encourage appropriate actions that foster the long-term health of the business, and are consistent with the objectives underlying our pre-determined performance goals. Such exclusions may consist of the costs and financial effects of restructuring, acquisitions, and dispositions, selected legal costs and settlements, pandemics, and the effects of foreign currency translation. No adjustments were made in 2025.

Based on the above financial performance results, the portion of the 2025 IIP payout linked to the financial objectives was earned at 105.9% of each NEO's applicable target.

*2025 Non-Financial Performance Levels and Results. The Committee includes non-financial objectives in the IIP that are intended to be dynamic and responsive to the Company's evolving strategy. The Committee selects the non-financial objective categories, along with their associated metrics and goals, annually at the beginning of the year, and may refine them from year to year as business priorities and strategic objectives evolve. For 2025, the Committee selected GGI bookings and annual software and services revenue as the Quantitative Strategic Goals:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• GGI Bookings. GGI bookings aim to accelerate Itron's growth with key solutions in high growth areas in targeted regions. Bookings of GGI products and services will contribute to the success of this goal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Software / Services Revenue. We aim to continue expanding our business toward software and services that enhance the value of our hardware and, more importantly, the value delivered to our customers. Growth in software and services revenue also provides an attractive financial benefit to the Company, as these offerings are typically recurring in nature and carry strong profitability.

The Quantitative Strategic Goals are binary, equally-weighted and scored independently. Any related payouts are limited to 100% of target. The specific metrics and goals in each category that were approved by the Compensation Committee for 2025, as well as the actual achievement results for 2025, are outlined below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025 Goal** | **Actual Results**  |
| Annual GGI Bookings | >$225million | Pass  |
| Annual Software / Services Revenue | >$380 million  | Pass |

---

Based on the above non-financial performance results, the portion of the 2025 IIP payout linked to the Quantitative Strategic Goals was earned at 100% of each NEO's applicable target.

*2025 Individual Performance. The Committee has discretion to make adjustments based on the NEO's individual and/or business unit's performance. The Committee may decide to adjust each NEO's IIP payout upward or downward by applying a multiplier in the range of 0% to 150% against the initially-calculated payout based on the financial and non-financial results. The Committee did not apply an individual modifier to 2025 payouts for any of the NEOs.* 

*2025 IIP Results and Payouts. The actual IIP awards paid to the NEOs for 2025 were as follows:*

Target incentive opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary rate; however, consistent with the 2025 IIP, actual payouts are calculated based on base salary earned during 2025. As a result, actual awards may not equal target amounts multiplied by the final payout percentage.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

#### Long-Term Equity Incentive: The Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The NEOs are eligible for long-term incentives, all of which were issued under the terms of our Third A&R 2010 Plan. The Compensation Committee considers a mix of equity vehicles when granting long-term incentives and uses PRSUs and RSUs as follows:

![](ny20057844x1_ceocharts.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PRSUs reward the achievement of financial goals over a three-year performance period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• RSUs support retention; they vest 1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant date and quarterly thereafter for two years.

The Compensation Committee emphasizes performance-based equity for the CEO by using an annual target LTIP award mix of 67% PRSUs and 33% RSUs. The annual target LTIP awards for all other NEOs are comprised of 50% PRSUs and 50% RSUs.

*2025 Target Long-Term Incentive Award Grants. After its annual review, including consideration of updated market data from the Committee's consultant reflecting peer practices and year-over-year market movement in equity awards, the Committee increased Mr. Deitrich's target annual long-term incentive awards by $1,000,000 in recognition of his strong performance to improve competitive positioning and maintain alignment with prevailing market practices. The Committee also increased the target annual long-term incentive awards for Ms. Hooper and Messrs. Reeves, Marcolini, and Patrick by $100,000, $150,000, $100,000 and $250,000, respectively. The table below shows the target annual LTIP award values approved by the Committee for fiscal year 2025 for each of the NEOs:*

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **NEO** | **PRSUs\* (at Target)** | **RSUs\*** | **Total Value**  |
| **Thomas L. Deitrich** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$4690000 | $2310000 | $7000000  |

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

*A Closer Look at PRSUs. The actual number of PRSUs that are earned and vested is based on the achievement of non-GAAP diluted EPS goals and relative TSR results. Specifically, actual awards are linked to a three-year performance period that consists of three annual performance cycles. The performance result used to determine the actual award earned is calculated at the end of the three-year performance period by averaging the results of the three annual performance cycles, then is adjusted +/-25% based on performance relative to TSR as compared to the Russell 3000 Index.*

![](ny20057844x1_epstable.jpg)

*2025 Performance Metrics: Non-GAAP Diluted EPS & Relative TSR. PRSUs are driven by the achievement of non-GAAP diluted EPS and relative TSR performance targets.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Non-GAAP Diluted EPS:** Non-GAAP diluted EPS targets are set by the Committee at the beginning of each annual performance cycle. Payout levels can range from 0% to 200% of target for the performance cycle and depend on performance results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Relative TSR:** At the end of the three-year performance period, the non-GAAP diluted EPS attainment results for each of the annual performance cycles are averaged. The average non-GAAP diluted EPS attainment is then subject to a multiplier based on the achievement by the Company of TSR relative to the Russell 3000 index for the same three-year performance cycle as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| **Multiplier** |
| 0.75<br> 0-25<sup>th</sup> Percentile  |
| 1.00<br> 25<sup>th</sup>-75<sup>th</sup> Percentile  |
| 1.25<br> >75<sup>th</sup> Percentile |

---

The relative TSR ranking ranges and corresponding payout multipliers are consistent with the design that has been in place since the 2023-2025 PRSU grant.

*PRSUs Earned and Vested In 2025 (1/1/2023–12/31/2025). In 2023, the NEOs were granted their target PRSUs with vesting based on achievement of the non-GAAP diluted EPS goals for 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the TSR multiplier for the three-year performance cycle. The following table shows the award payout levels as a percentage of target for non-GAAP diluted EPS results against goals. These goals are set by the Committee at the beginning of each annual performance cycle. The table also shows our non-GAAP diluted EPS results used for calculating PRSUs earned for 2023, 2024 and 2025.*

Note: The non-GAAP diluted EPS results shown are based on financial results as reported for 2023 (as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023), 2024 (as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024), and 2025 (as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025). For purposes of non-GAAP diluted EPS results, payouts for performance between the indicated goals are linearly interpolated.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The actual award earned was calculated at the end of the three-year performance period by averaging the results of the three annual performance cycles, as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Performance Year** | **Percentage of Attainment**  |
| 2023 | 200.00%  |
| 2024 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;200.00%  |

Under the terms of the 2023-2025 PRSU award, the TSR multiplier is applied in the same way as the TSR multiplier for the 2025-2027 PRSU award as described above.

Based on our actual TSR results approximating the 77th percentile of the Russell 3000 index, the multiplier for the 2023-2025 PRSUs was 1.25x. As a result, the NEOs earned 250% of their target PRSUs for the 2023-2025 performance cycle, as follows:

#### Other Practices, Policies and Guidelines

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines
We believe that holding an equity interest in the Company creates an incentive to avoid excessive business risks. We maintain stock ownership guidelines to encourage certain of our executive officers to own stock at least equal in value to:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Title** | **Multiple of Base Salary**  |
| CEO | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.0x  |
| CFO | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.0x  |
| Other Three Section 16 Senior Vice Presidents | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.0x |

Common stock, vested and unvested RSUs but not PRSUs, the net after-tax value of unexercised stock options, and stock held in the deferred compensation, 401(k) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plans and shares beneficially owned and held in trust for the benefit of a family member all count towards satisfaction of the guidelines. Additionally, participants are required to retain 50% of net profit shares from all stock acquired upon exercise or vesting unless the guideline level is achieved. Net profit shares are defined as the number of shares of stock acquired after payment of (i) in the case of options, any exercise price and tax withholding upon exercise, or (ii) in the case of restricted stock or restricted stock units, tax withholding upon vesting. We annually review the levels of stock ownership of our executive officers listed above, and, based on a rolling 12-month average of our stock price as of the end of 2025, each of them has met the guidelines. We also have stock ownership guidelines for the members of our Board.

#### Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy
We prohibit the NEOs, other executive officers, directors and employees from engaging in transactions designed to insulate them from changes in the Company's stock price. Therefore, the Company has an Anti-Hedging Policy that prohibits entering into transactions that include (without limitation) equity swaps or short sales of our securities, margin accounts or pledges of our securities, and hedges or monetization transactions involving our securities that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Itron securities. In addition, the purchase or sale of puts, calls, options, or other derivative securities based on the Company's securities is prohibited under this policy, and borrowing against any account in which our securities are held is prohibited.

#### Change-in-Control Agreements
We have entered into change-in-control agreements with certain of our executive officers to encourage their full attention and dedication to the Company in the event of a change-in-control of the Company, and to provide them with reasonable compensation and benefits in the event of a change-in-control and a subsequent loss of employment. All equity awards granted have "double trigger" requirements before vesting upon a change-in-control. See "*Executive Compensation Tables – Potential Payments upon Change-in-Control*" for descriptions of the benefits provided under the change-in-control agreements.

#### Employment Agreements; Severance Policy
We do not have formal employment agreements with our executive officers. However, we do have an Executive Officer Severance Pay Policy that provides transitional support to executive officers whose employment is terminated involuntarily, other than for disciplinary reasons. The Compensation Committee revised the policy to support retention and provide appropriate protection to executives in the event of an involuntary termination not for cause. See "*Executive Compensation Tables – Potential Payments upon Termination without Cause*" for descriptions of the benefits provided under the change-in-control agreements.

#### Incentive Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy
The Board has adopted the 2023 Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy ("Compensation Recovery Policy"), in accordance with Rule 10D-1 under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 10D-1") and the corresponding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the "Listing Rules"). This policy applies to our current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1, including the NEOs, and will be administered by the Compensation Committee. In the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct a material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including restatements that correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the policy provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

incentive-based compensation received by its executive officers on or after the policy's effective date. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether an executive officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement for a restatement.

In addition, our Incentive Repayment Policy, in effect prior to December 1, 2023 will continue to apply to incentive-based compensation received prior to December 1, 2023. Under that policy, in the event of a restatement of the Company's financial results, the Compensation Committee, as designated by the Board, may review all cash or equity incentive awards that were based in whole or in part on the achievement of certain financial results. Where award(s) were predicated, in part or in whole, upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement and, as determined by the Compensation Committee, the executive officer(s) engaged in fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement, the Compensation Committee will seek forfeiture or reimbursement to the Company of the award(s) from the executive officer(s) engaged in fraud in full, net of tax. If a material financial restatement was not due to fraud, the Compensation Committee may review the circumstances and, in its discretion to the extent practicable and allowable under applicable laws, determine to require forfeiture or reimbursement to the Company of the amount of the award(s) that exceeded the lower amount, payment or value that would have been made based on the restated financial results, net of tax.

#### Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
Executive officers located in the U.S. are eligible to participate in our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP). We offer the EDCP to our highly-compensated employees to give them the benefit of being able to defer some of their taxable income, which also encourages their retention with the Company. Participants may defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 50% of their annual cash incentive into a nonqualified account.

Executive officers are also permitted to elect to defer an additional portion of their base salary under the EDCP equal to the amount of any contributions returned to them during the year from the Company's 401(k) Plan. In 2025, the Company made matching contributions to the account of each participating executive at the rate of 75% of the first 6% of base salary and annual incentive deferred by the executive officer during that year, which is the same matching formula as the Company's 401(k) Plan. The employer match into the EDCP starts *after* the employee reaches IRS limits on the 401(k) Plan and is no longer eligible for the 401(k) match. The executive officers' account balances are adjusted for hypothetical investment earnings or losses according to the returns of the specified "measurement funds" selected by the executives. The measurement funds correspond to the mutual funds available for investment under the 401(k) Plan (but currently do not include a Company stock fund). See "*Executive Compensation Tables – 2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table*" for more details.

#### General Benefits and Perquisites
Our NEOs receive the same benefits and perquisites as our U.S. based salaried employees generally, including medical and dental benefits, group term life insurance, and short- and long-term disability protection. Itron also has relocation policies and benefits in place that may be applicable if an employee is required to move or has long-term extended business travel to a new location.

#### 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Executive officers located in the U.S. are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Plan which provides our employees, including the NEOs, with a 75% Company match on the first 6% of compensation deferred, subject to qualified plan limits. Similarly, executive officers may participate in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, along with our other employees.

We do not maintain any defined benefit or supplemental retirement programs for our NEOs.

#### Impact of Tax and Accounting
We regularly consider the various tax and accounting implications of our compensation plans. When determining the value of long-term incentives and equity grants to executives and employees, the compensation costs associated with the grants are reviewed, as required by FASB ASC Topic 718.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) This column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU and PRSU awards granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 regarding assumptions underlying the valuation of the equity awards granted in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Includes the grant date fair value of PRSUs assuming target performance achievement. As the performance-contingent awards are based on separate measurements of the Company's financial performance for each year in the three-year performance cycle, FASB ASC Topic 718 requires the grant date fair value to be calculated for the portion of the award related to performance in each year. Therefore, the value in the table includes one-third of the target PRSUs for each active three-year performance cycle. For more details on how performance is calculated, refer to '' *A Closer Look at PRSUs*" in this proxy statement.

The grant date fair value of the non-GAAP diluted EPS component is based upon the probable outcome for the award and is consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the performance period determined as of the grant date under FASB ASC Topic 718. As required under FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date fair value for the TSR multiplier is recalculated and included in the amounts shown for 2025 for the 2025 portion of the award in each active performance cycle and was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date the PRSUs were awarded. Grant date fair values assuming maximum performance achievement for the 2025 PRSUs for the full performance cycle (2025-2027) would be: T. Deitrich - $12,092,499; J. Hooper - $2,578,203; D. Reeves - $1,611,408; J. Marcolini - $1,611,408; J. Patrick - $1,611,408.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) This column reflects the cash awards earned by the NEOs for achievement of financial and non-financial objectives under our annual incentive program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) These values reflect length of service awards, patent awards, and a $2,500 referral bonus for Mr. Marcolini.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) We value these benefits based on the actual costs or charges incurred by us for the benefits. The amounts shown under "All Other Compensation" consist of Company 401(k) matching contributions of $15,750 for our NEOs, a company match under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan of $36,468 for Ms. Hooper.

#### Potential Payments upon Change-in-Control
The Company has entered into a Change in Control Severance Agreement with each of our executive officers. The following summarizes the material provisions of the agreements applicable to each NEO. Under these agreements, if a change-in-control occurs and an NEO's employment is terminated within 24 months other than (a) by the Company for cause, (b) by reason of death or disability, or (c) by the executive without "good reason," the NEO is entitled to the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Severance Benefit:* The agreements provide Mr. Deitrich with a severance benefit equal to 2.5 times the sum of base salary and target annual incentive opportunity. For Ms. Hooper, Mr. Reeves, Mr. Marcolini, and Mr. Patrick, the benefit is equal to two (2) times the sum of base salary and target annual incentive opportunity. For all, the benefit is paid in cash in one lump sum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Pro-Rata Annual Incentive for Year of Termination:* The agreements provide for an amount in respect of the executive's target annual cash bonus compensation for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, which amount will be paid out pro-rata, based on the portion of the performance period which has elapsed as of the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Welfare Benefit Continuation:* The agreements provide Mr. Deitrich and his dependents with 2.5 years of life, disability and health insurance coverage (with no tax gross-up). For Ms. Hooper, Mr. Reeves, Mr. Marcolini, and Mr. Patrick, and each executives' dependents, this benefit is equal to two (2) years of life, disability and health insurance coverage (with no tax gross-up).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Equity Awards:* The agreements provide that any PRSU award outstanding as of the date of termination shall be vested at the greater of target or actual performance for the year (if the date of termination occurs during the performance period applicable to such award). Other equity awards will be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Excise Tax Gross-Up:* There are no effective provisions for an excise tax gross-up. The agreements provide that change-in-control payments will be reduced, if necessary, to the level that results in the greater after-tax amount to the executive after taking the excise tax under Section 280G of the Code into account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Legal Fees:* The agreements provide that NEOs will be reimbursed for legal fees and expenses incurred in seeking to enforce the agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Restrictive Covenants:* The agreements include restrictive covenants relating to non-solicitation (one-year), non-disparagement, and non-competition (one-year, where enforceable), and require a release of all claims against the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Definition of Change-in-Control:* For purposes of the agreements, a "change-in-control" generally consists of any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An acquisition of 25 percent or more of our voting securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our current Board of Directors (and their approved successors) ceasing to constitute a majority of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consummation of any merger or consolidation with or into another corporation, the effect of which would be that our Board would consist of a majority of directors who were not members of the Board prior to the merger or consolidation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consummation of any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, or the approval by our shareholders of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Definition of Good Reason:* For purposes of the agreements, "good reason" for termination by the NEO of his or her employment generally means any one of the following acts by the Company following a change-in-control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An adverse change in the NEO's duties, status or position as an executive officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A reduction in the NEO's base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A reduction in the NEO's annual bonus or long-term incentive opportunity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The failure to continue to provide welfare, medical, and other fringe benefits which in the aggregate are substantially similar to those provided immediately prior to the change-in-control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The requirement for the NEO to be based at an office more than 50 miles from the NEO's office prior to the change-in-control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The failure by the Company or successor company to assume or agree to perform the provisions of the agreement.

#### LTIP Change-in-Control Provisions
Pursuant to the terms of our LTIP and RSU award agreements, in the event of a change-in-control, generally as defined in our Change in Control Severance Agreements described above (except that the trigger for acquisition of our voting securities is 50 percent), if the award is not assumed or substituted for by the surviving corporation or if the acquiring company is not publicly traded, the award will fully accelerate in vesting. If the award is assumed or substituted for by a publicly traded company and the executive's employment is terminated within 24 months following the change-in-control other than (a) for cause, (b) by reason of retirement, death or disability, or (c) by the executive without good reason, the award will fully accelerate in vesting as of the date of termination.

Pursuant to the terms of our LTIP and PRSU award agreements, in the event of a change-in-control, generally as defined in our Change in Control Severance Agreements described above (except that the trigger for acquisition of our voting securities is 50 percent), if the award is not assumed or substituted for by the surviving corporation or if the acquiring company is not publicly traded, the award will fully accelerate in vesting. If the award is assumed or substituted for by a publicly traded company, the Change in Control Severance Agreements with each of our executive officers, as described above, govern the treatment of PRSU awards in the event of a termination of employment following a change-in-control.

#### Executive Officer Severance Pay Policy
The Company recognizes that it is usually difficult for executive officers whose employment is terminated involuntarily to obtain a position comparable to the one he or she has with the Company. In view of this, any executive officer who is terminated involuntarily, except if terminated for disciplinary reasons, will be entitled to receive severance pay equal to one year's base salary, employer benefit premium payments/reimbursement for one year, outplacement assistance for one year, and pro-rated vesting of PRSUs based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the applicable performance period, provided that the executive (1) releases all claims that he or she may have against the Company, (2) enters into a one year non-compete agreement (where enforceable), (3) agrees not to solicit employees for a period of one year, and (4) agrees not to disparage the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, may elect to make the severance payment in equal payments over a 12-month period or in a single lump sum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The above table excludes amounts under our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, stock option awards that are fully vested, earned salary, and accrued vacation as those items are earned and due to the employee regardless of such termination events. It also excludes amounts payable under life insurance coverage, our accidental death & dismemberment coverage or our business travel accident coverage, which are programs available to all employees. Each form of payment is mutually exclusive based on the individual circumstances or events and therefore represents a single payment and should not be added together. On a termination without cause or by the executive for good reason following a change-in-control, payments do not contemplate any payment reduction that would potentially provide the executive with a greater after-tax payment. Upon a change-in-control only in which outstanding equity awards are not assumed, substituted for, or converted or the acquiring company is not publicly-traded, the vesting of all outstanding RSUs and PRSUs will accelerate; values as shown in this table presume that the acquirer assumes applicable outstanding awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Our Change in Control Severance Agreement with this executive provides for an amount in respect of the executive's target annual cash bonus compensation for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, which amount will be paid out pro-rata, based on the portion of the performance period which has elapsed as of the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Executive Officer Severance Pay Policy provides an executive officer a severance payment equal to 1 times base salary plus one year of continued benefits and outplacement with an estimated value of $25,000. The Change in Control Severance Agreement for this executive provides for a severance payment equal to 2.5 times the sum of base salary and target annual bonus plus 30 months of continued benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) For the RSUs, upon termination due to death, disability, or termination without cause or for good reason following a change-in-control, represents the accelerated value of the RSUs based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025 ($92.86). Upon a termination due to retirement after the first anniversary of the grant date, RSUs will continue to vest subject to non-compete/non-solicit and reasonable notice restrictions. Awards granted in 2025 are assumed to be forfeited, as retirement at December 31, 2025 is before the first anniversary of the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Upon a termination due to death or disability, the executive is eligible to receive that number of PRSUs that vest based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the performance period. Upon a qualified retirement that occurs at least 12 months after grant, the executive is eligible to receive that number of PRSUs that vest based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the end of the performance period. Awards granted in the 12 months prior to retirement are forfeited. Upon an involuntary termination without cause, the executive will be entitled to receive pro-rated vesting of PRSUs based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the performance period. Upon termination without cause or by the executive for good reason following a change-in-control, the unvested PRSUs shall become immediately and fully vested as of the date of termination at the greater of target or actual performance if the termination occurs during the performance period. For death, disability, retirement, termination without cause, and termination without cause or for good reason following a change-in-control, the tabular values reflect (1) the actual payout for the 2023-2025 performance cycle which was above target and (2) for the 2024-2026 and 2025-2027 performance cycles, actual funding for completed years in the cycle and target funding for future years in the cycle without application of the rTSR multiplier. Values are based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025 ($92.86).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) For the RSUs, upon termination due to death, disability, or termination without cause or for good reason following a change-in-control, represents the accelerated value of the RSUs based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025 ($92.86). Upon a termination due to retirement after the first anniversary of the grant date, RSUs will continue to vest subject to non-compete/non-solicit and reasonable notice restrictions. Awards granted in 2025 are assumed to be forfeited, as retirement at December 31, 2025 is before the first anniversary of the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Upon a termination due to death or disability, the executive is eligible to receive that number of PRSUs that vest based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the performance period. Upon a qualified retirement that occurs at least 12 months after grant, the executive is eligible to receive that number of PRSUs that vest based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the end of the performance period. Awards granted in the 12 months prior to retirement are forfeited. Upon an involuntary termination without cause, the executive will be entitled to receive pro-rated vesting of PRSUs based on the actual attainment of the performance goals as assessed after the performance period. Upon termination without cause or by the executive for good reason following a change-in-control, the unvested PRSUs shall become immediately and fully vested as of the date of termination at the greater of target or actual performance if the termination occurs during the performance period. For death, disability, retirement, termination without cause, and termination without cause or for good reason following a change-in-control, the tabular values reflect (1) the actual payout for the 2023-2025 performance cycle which was above target and (2) for the 2024-2026 and 2025-2027 performance cycles, actual funding for completed years in the cycle and target funding for future years in the cycle without application of the rTSR multiplier. Values are based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025 ($92.86).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The above table excludes amounts under our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, stock option awards that are fully vested, earned salary, and accrued vacation as those items are earned and due to the employee regardless of such termination events. It also excludes amounts payable under life insurance coverage, our accidental death & dismemberment coverage or our business travel accident coverage, which are programs available to all employees. Each form of payment is mutually exclusive based on the individual circumstances or events and therefore represents a single payment and should not be added together. On a termination without cause or by the executive for good reason following a change-in-control, payments do not contemplate any payment reduction that would potentially provide the executive with a greater after-tax payment. Upon a change-in-control only in which outstanding equity awards are not assumed, substituted for, or converted or the acquiring company is not publicly-traded, the vesting of all outstanding RSUs and PRSUs will accelerate; values as shown in this table presume that the acquirer assumes applicable outstanding awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Our Change in Control Severance Agreement with this executive provides for an amount in respect of the executive's target annual cash bonus compensation for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, which amount will be paid out pro-rata, based on the portion of the performance period which has elapsed as of the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The above table excludes amounts under our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, stock option awards that are fully vested, earned salary, and accrued vacation as those items are earned and due to the employee regardless of such termination events. It also excludes amounts payable under life insurance coverage, our accidental death & dismemberment coverage or our business travel accident coverage, which are programs available to all employees. Each form of payment is mutually exclusive based on the individual circumstances or events and therefore represents a single payment and should not be added together. The executive was not retirement eligible as of December 31, 2025, as he did not satisfy the applicable age and service requirements. Accordingly, all unvested equity would be forfeited on a retirement. The executive will become retirement eligible in 2027 assuming continued service. On a termination without cause or by the executive for good reason following a change-in-control, payments do not contemplate any payment reduction that would potentially provide the executive with a greater after-tax payment. Upon a change-in-control only in which outstanding equity awards are not assumed, substituted for, or converted or the acquiring company is not publicly-traded, the vesting of all outstanding RSUs and PRSUs will accelerate; values as shown in this table presume that the acquirer assumes applicable outstanding awards.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation Tables

#### 2025 Compensation Risk Assessment
It is our belief that a majority of an NEO's total compensation should be variable "at risk" compensation, meaning it is tied to the Company's financial performance. However, because performance-based incentives play a large role in our overall compensation program, we strive to ensure that incentives do not result in actions that may conflict with the long-term best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Therefore, the Committee evaluated the compensation plans and policies (applicable to all employees including executive officers) in February 2025 for attributes that could cause excessive risk taking. We concluded that our programs and policies do not encourage excessive risk-taking because: (a) the salary component of our program is a fixed amount; (b) the majority of the average compensation paid to our executive officers is delivered in the form of equity ownership, which aligns the interest of our executive officers with those of our shareholders; (c) NEOs are subject to our stock ownership guidelines; and (d) the annual cash-based incentive plan and long-term incentive plans are designed with risk-mitigating characteristics such as (i) maximum award payouts based on the attainment of various and continually evolving Company financial objectives which diversify risks associated with a single indicator of performance, (ii) our equity-based incentives for executive officers encourage a longer-term focus through multi-year performance periods, (iii) our risk-mitigating policies in place such as insider trading and hedging prohibitions and clawbacks, and (iv) review and approval of executive officers' final awards by our Committee (and the independent members of the full Board in the case of the CEO), which is composed entirely of independent directors who have discretion under our plans to approve, modify, or eliminate any award earned.

#### CEO Pay Ratio
We are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO:

For 2025, our last completed fiscal year:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO) was $72,460; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual total compensation of our CEO was $11,208,405.

For fiscal 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 155 to 1.

SEC rules permit companies to use the same median employee for up to three years if there have been no changes in the company's employee population or compensation arrangements that the company reasonably believes would significantly affect the pay ratio disclosure. We reviewed our employee population and compensation practices since our prior determination and concluded that there have been no changes that would result in a significant change to the pay ratio. As a result, we have used the same median employee identified in 2024 to calculate the CEO pay ratio for 2025.

The median employee was identified using base pay, overtime pay, short-term incentives, and long-term incentive grant date fair values for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

The annual total compensation for each of the CEO and the median employee for 2025 was calculated in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Peer group TSR represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to respective companies' stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Amounts represent net income reflected in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable year. Net income figures for 2021-2024 were corrected from the corresponding amounts reported in the prior year's proxy statement, which reflected net income after deducting income attributable to non-controlling interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) In the Company's assessment, Adjusted EBITDA represents the most important financial performance measure (not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (a) minus interest income, (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.

#### Most Important Performance Measures
In our assessment, the most important performance measures used to link CAP to Company performance are listed in the table below, not ranked in order of importance.

#### PROPOSAL 3 – RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
The Board, upon the recommendation of its Audit/Finance Committee, has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accountant for the 2026 fiscal year, subject to ratification by our shareholders. Although not required to do so, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP for ratification by the Company's shareholders for their views on the Company's independent registered public accountant and as a matter of good corporate practice. Deloitte & Touche LLP has advised the Company that it has no direct, nor any material indirect, financial interest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In the event that our shareholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Board and the Audit/Finance Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit/Finance Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm, subject to ratification by the Board, at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders.

**The Board recommends that shareholders** <br>**vote "FOR" the ratification of Deloitte &** <br>**Touche LLP as our independent registered** <br>**public accountant for fiscal year 2026.**<br>

#### SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

#### Directors and Executive Officers
The following table provides information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 3, 2026 by each of our directors, each of our named executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table, and our director nominee, directors, and executive officers as a group. The percentage ownership data is based on 44,319,803 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 3, 2026. Under SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes shares over that which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power. Shares of common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days or shares of restricted stock units vested or that will vest within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the number of shares and the percentage ownership of the person holding the option, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, we believe that the beneficial owners of the shares of common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. The address of each person named in the table, unless otherwise indicated, is c/o Itron, Inc., 2111 N. Molter Road, Liberty Lake, WA 99019.
