Business-activity disclosure
Badger Meter manufactures water meters, flow-measurement instruments and smart-water monitoring software. The core activity is generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for all industrial applications and customers.
Limitation: No universal prohibited-activity revenue numerator or scholar-specific purification percentage is disclosed; the screen does not invent one.
Purification
Badger Meter reports $1.138 million of net interest income, but no scholar-specific purification percentage is asserted and the activity numerator remains incomplete.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Badger Meter's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- No interest-bearing debt is reported; the $150.0 million multi-currency credit facility supports commercial paper but had no reported drawn balance. Operating leases are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $205.453 million and no separate interest-bearing security balance is identified.
- Accounts receivable, net is $110.290 million and first-quarter net sales are $202.277 million.
- The filing reports $1.138 million of net interest income, or 0.56% of revenue; this is a disclosed net line, not a gross-income or purification prescription.
- Water metering, flow instrumentation and utility-resource software are generally permissible, while the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
