Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 15, 2005, Itron, Inc. announced preliminary financial
results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2004. On
March 11, 2005, Itron filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which
included final financial results for the fourth quarter and year
ending December 31, 2004.
The final results included a non-cash stock compensation adjustment as
well as certain financial statement reclassification adjustments that
were not included in the preliminary results. The non-cash stock
compensation adjustment related to the Company's employee stock
purchase plan resulted in an increase of $227,000 to the previously
reported GAAP loss before tax for the fourth quarter and full year of
2004. The balance sheet reclassification adjustments did not affect
total assets, total liabilities or total shareholders' equity.
However, we did reclassify an additional $17 million of our bank debt
from long-term to short-term. In addition, cash flow from operations
was approximately $1 million higher for the fourth quarter and full
year 2004 than previously reported.
Attached as exhibits are schedules that reconcile GAAP net income
(loss) with pro forma net income, EBITDA and pro forma EBITDA.

The information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K may contain

including those factors identified in Itron, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and the fact that the assumptions set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K
could prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in such forward-looking statements.
