"As we manage through ever-evolving macroeconomic, trade and policy headwinds in the near-term, it remains clear that demand is strong for our industry-leading cellular AMI and BlueEdge smart water management solutions. We continue to expect the secular drivers influencing digital water technology adoption by utilities and commercial and industrial customers will support durable revenue growth. I would like to thank our dedicated team for enabling our customers to benefit from the favorable outcomes our solutions provide." Third Quarter Operating Results Utility water sales increased 14% year-over-year, or 8% excluding SmartCover. Ongoing customer adoption of digital smart water solutions, including increased sales of ultrasonic meters, BEACON SaaS, and water quality solutions, were the primary drivers of growth compared to the prior year quarter.
