State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Itron, Inc. (we, our, the Company) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018, because additional time is required to finalize the adoption of and reporting under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers related to our acquisition of Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (SSNI) on January 5, 2018. It is anticipated that the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be filed on or before May 15, 2018.

(2)
Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
 
x Yes  No
 
 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
 
x Yes o No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Our financial results will differ significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due to the inclusion of SSNI in 2018. In addition, expenses related to the integration plan for SSNI and the 2018 restructuring plan, both of which were announced in our Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2018, will contribute operating expenses totaling approximately $150 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
