Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1 Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Badger Meter contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise discussed) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated condensed financial position at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, results of operations, comprehensive income and statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
