Financial Results 
 Second Quarter 2026 Highlights 
  

 
•
 
 Total reported revenue of $1.645 billion surpassed the high end of the guidance range,
driven by broad-based outperformance across both organic revenue and the acquired businesses. 

  

 
•
 
 Organic revenue of $828 million grew 7% as reported and 9% in constant currency; the Analytical
Sciences Division (ASD) delivered 8% instrument growth and double-digit chemistry consumables growth, led by low-double-digit growth in both Pharma and A&G end markets, in constant currency, as the market recovery has entered a broader phase,
expanding across additional customer segments. 

  

 
•
 
 Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions revenue of $817 million exceeded
guidance by $15 million and grew 4% on a prior year comparable basis, reflecting strong traction from commercial execution and operational improvements under the Company’s 180-day
growth revitalization plan that drove a faster-than-expected acceleration to mid-single-digit growth. 

  

 
•
 
 GAAP EPS of ($1.39); Adjusted EPS of $3.05 landed at the high end of the guidance range, as early cost
actions offset unfavorable foreign exchange translation. 

  

 
•
 
 The Company is raising all components of its full-year 2026 guidance, given better-than-expected
results and broad strengthening in end-market conditions. It now expects full-year 2026 organic constant currency revenue growth of 7% to 9%, acquired business reported revenue of
$3.045 billion, and adjusted EPS of $14.45 to $14.65, reflecting 10-12% growth. 

MILFORD, Mass., August 4, 2026 - Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT), today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. 

Overall Financial Results 
 The Company’s
reported revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $1.645 billion, reflecting $828 million of organic revenue and $817 million of revenue from the recently acquired Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses. 

Organic revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $828 million, compared to $771 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of
7% as reported and 9% in constant currency. 
 Revenue from Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions was $817 million for the second quarter of
2026, compared to $783 million on a prior year comparable basis. 
 On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a diluted loss per share of $1.39 for the second
quarter of 2026, compared to diluted EPS of $2.47 for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting acquisition-related purchase accounting charges, including amortization of acquired intangibles and inventory
step-up. 
 Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2026 grew 3% to $3.05, compared to $2.95 for the second quarter
of 2025. 
 “Thanks to the hard work of our teams, we delivered industry-leading growth again this quarter, executing ahead of guidance across all
four divisions,” said Udit Batra, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer, Waters Corporation. “Organic revenue grew 9% in constant currency, and our newly acquired businesses grew
mid-single-digits in their first full quarter under Waters ownership. This performance reflects strong execution across the combined Company as our integration continues to gain momentum, while the recovery
across our end markets has broadened with previously lagging customer segments now returning to growth.” 

 

 Dr. Batra continued, “With momentum building across our portfolio, end markets, and
synergies, we are raising every component of our full-year 2026 guidance. Looking ahead, as end market conditions continue to strengthen and our growth strategy compounds, Waters is better positioned today than at any point in our recent history,
with a broader portfolio, a larger installed base, and the clearest set of growth catalysts we have ever had.”

Full-Year 2026 Financial Guidance 
 The Company is raising
its full-year 2026 organic constant currency revenue growth guidance to the range of 7.0% to 9.0%. Including the effect of currency translation, full-year 2026 organic reported revenue is expected to be in the range of $3.370 billion to
$3.431 billion. 
 The Company is raising its acquired business revenue expectation and now expects full-year 2026 acquired business reported

 Total Company reported revenue for full-year 2026 is expected to be in the
range of $6.415 billion to $6.476 billion. 
 The Company is raising its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to the range of $14.45
to $14.65, which represents 10% to 12% year-over-year adjusted EPS growth and is 12% to 14% on a constant currency basis.

$1.762 billion. 
 The Company expects third quarter 2026 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $3.95 to $4.05, which represents 16% to 19%
year-over-year adjusted EPS growth. 
 Please refer to the tables below for a reconciliation of the projected GAAP to
non-GAAP financial outlook for the full-year and third quarter. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of forward-looking presentations of adjusted EPS guidance measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP measures. Such reconciliations cannot be prepared without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and unpredictability in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that would be necessary for such reconciliations,
including acquisition-related amortization, acquisition and restructuring costs, as well as certain legal, advisory and tax costs, or other costs that may arise, which amounts could be significant and could have a material impact on the
Company’s future GAAP financial results. All amounts, other than percentages and per share data, are presented in millions of dollars. Certain totals and percentages may not recalculate due to rounding. 

Results for the Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses for prior year comparable period are the quarterly results for the Biosciences and
Diagnostic Solutions units for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as reported in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed by Becton, Dickinson and Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2025. This historical financial information reflects the results of operations of these businesses as they were historically managed in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, such historical
financial information does not necessarily reflect what these businesses results of operations would have been had they operated as a part of Waters during the period presented, and do not reflect changes that have occurred since the consummation of
the acquisition of these businesses by Waters, including, among other things, changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs or differences in accounting policies. For example, BD provided certain services,
such as legal, finance, information technology, human resources, and other infrastructure support to the BDS Businesses prior to their acquisition by Waters. Costs of these services were included in the BDS Businesses’ results of operations
through allocations based upon a proportion of revenue or headcount as determined by BD in conformity with GAAP. Such allocated costs may not be indicative or necessary if the BDS Businesses operated as a part of Waters during the period presented,
nor are they necessarily representative of the costs that may be incurred in the future.

 Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

This release contains financial measures, such as organic constant currency growth rates, constant currency growth rates, prior year comparable revenue,
adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted free cash flow, among others, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s
definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release adjust for
specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making,
including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results, comparison to competitors’ operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial
measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and
trends affecting the Company’s business. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management
strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release. 
 Cautionary Statement 

This release contains “forward-looking” statements regarding future results and events. For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “feels,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,”
“suggests,” “appears,” “estimates,” “projects,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements within this release for a variety of reasons, including and without limitation, risks or uncertainties related to our acquisition of Becton, Dickinson and Company’s
Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses (the “BDS Business”), including failure to realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition, including as a result of delay in integrating the BDS Businesses with the Company on the
expected timeframe or at all, and the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and achieve revenue and cost synergies, anticipated progress on Waters’ research programs, development of new analytical instruments and associated
software or consumables, manufacturing development and capabilities, our future financial and operational performance, future economic and market conditions, including our expectations about the growth rates of certain markets, our strategic
initiatives, including our instrument replacement initiatives, our ability to respond and adapt to changing global dynamics, including the potential impacts of tariffs and supply chain challenges, our ability to retain and attract customers in
various geographies and market segments, our market size and growth opportunities, our competitive positioning, projected costs, technological capabilities and plans, and objectives of management, and other risk factors detailed from time to time in
Waters’ reports filed with the SEC. Such factors and others are discussed more fully in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC, which discussions are incorporated by reference in this release, as updated by the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. The
forward-looking statements included in this release represent the Company’s estimates or views as of the date of this release and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s estimates or views as of any date subsequent to the
date of this release. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

(a)
 The Company believes that referring to organic constant currency growth is a useful measure for evaluating the
underlying performance of revenue. Organic constant currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in net revenue between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes
during the current period and excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within twelve months of the acquisition date. See description of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release. 

(b)
 The Company believes that referring to comparable revenue is a useful measure for evaluating the underlying
performance of the business following the acquisition of Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions (“BDS”). Comparable revenue includes BDS revenue in both the current and prior year comparison periods. Current period revenue includes BDS
revenue for the full quarter and prior-year comparable revenue includes an estimate of BDS revenue for the equivalent prior-year period. Growth rates are calculated using these comparable revenues.

BDS revenue from February 9, 2026, the acquisition date, through quarter-end. Prior year comparable revenue includes an estimate of BDS revenue for the equivalent prior year period. Growth rates are
calculated using these comparable revenues.

 (a)   Selling & administrative expenses include purchased
intangibles amortization and restructuring and other charges.
 (b)   The purchased intangibles
amortization and acquisition-related inventory and fixed asset fair value step-ups, which are non-cash expenses, were excluded to be consistent with how management
evaluates the performance of its core business against historical operating results and the operating results of competitors over periods of time.

(c)   Restructuring costs and certain other items were excluded as the Company believes that the
cost to consolidate operations, reduce overhead, and certain other income or expense items are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses of a specific function or geographic location of the Company.

(d)   ERP implementation and transformation costs represent costs related to the Company’s
initiative to transition from its legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a new global ERP solution with a cloud-based infrastructure. These costs, which do not represent normal or future ongoing business expenses, are one-time, non-recurring costs related to the establishment of our new global ERP solution that were determined to be non-capitalizable
in accordance with accounting standards.
 (e)   Acquisition related costs include all incremental
costs incurred to effect the business combination, such as advisory, legal, accounting, tax, valuation, other professional fees, and integration costs. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business
expenses.
 (f)   In connection with the Wyatt acquisition, the Company recognized a two-year retention bonus obligation that is contingent upon the employee’s providing future service and continued employment with Waters. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not
represent future ongoing business expenses.
 (g)   Financing costs relate to certain financing
fees incurred by the Company to secure access to certain debt facilities in connection with the agreement Waters entered into to acquire the Biosciences and Diagnostics Solutions business of Becton, Dickinson & Company. The Company believes
that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.

(h)   Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using diluted
weighted-average shares outstanding of 98.5 million and 90.3 million for the three and six months ended July, 4, 2026, respectively. While the Company reported a GAAP net loss for the
period and therefore excluded potentially dilutive securities from its GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation, adjusted net income was positive for the period. Accordingly, potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of
adjusted diluted earnings per share.

(a)
 The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flow from operations accounted for under GAAP less capital
expenditures and software capitalizations plus or minus any unusual and non recurring items. Free cash flow is not a GAAP measurement and may not be comparable to free cash flow reported by other companies. 

(b)
 Includes an increase in net receivables of $17 million and $157 million for the three and six months
ended July 4, 2026, respectively, due from the BDS acquisition TSA provider related to the initial net cash settlement for activities occurring since the acquisition date. 

(c)
 During the six months ended June 28, 2025, the Company made retention payments under the Wyatt retention
bonus program. The Company believes that these payments are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses. 

(d)
 As part of the BDS acquisition, a portion of the total consideration paid was reflected as a deposit asset on
the opening balance sheet, which is attributable to the Company’s present right to the future economic benefits of the business in those foreign jurisdictions where legal and beneficial title had not transferred to the Company as of
February 9, 2026. Changes in the deposit asset are driven by changes in the underlying assets and liabilities in those foreign jurisdictions, which represent productive assets and therefore the cash payments (or cash receipts) resulting from
the changes in these productive assets are classified as investing cash flows. The change in the deposit asset is primarily related to the collection of third party customer receivables that existed as of February 9, 2026. The Company considers
cash collected from customers as a component of free cash flow as it represents amounts collected from its core operations.

(a)
 Organic constant currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure,
measures the change in net revenue between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates during the current period and excluding the impact of acquisitions made within twelve months of the acquisition close
date. These amounts are estimated at the current foreign currency exchange rates and based on the forecasted geographical revenue in local currency, as well as an assessment of market conditions as of the date of this press release, and may differ
significantly from actual results. 

 These forward-looking adjustment estimates do not reflect future gains and charges
that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance.
