| 1. Shares of common stock of Itron, Inc.

Each of the Investment Vehicles individually holds less than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of common stock. Scopia Management, as the investment manager of the Investment Vehicles, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of common stock of the Issuer held directly by the Investment Vehicles because Scopia Management has voting and investment power over such securities. |

("Scopia Inc."), as general partner of Scopia Management, and Matthew Sirovich and Jeremy Mindich, as Managing Directors of Scopia Inc., may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of common stock of the Issuer held directly by the Investment Vehicles because each of Scopia Inc., Mr. Sirovich and Mr. Mindich may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over such securities. Further, Scopia Management, Scopia Inc. and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in a portion of the securities held directly by the Investment Vehicles due to Scopia Management's right to receive performance-based allocations. |
| 3. Each of Scopia Management, Scopia Inc. and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any of Scopia Management, Scopia Inc. or Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. |
