**Second Quarter 2025** 

MILFORD, Mass., August 4, 2025 - Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT), today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

Sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $771 million, an increase of 9% as reported and 8% in constant currency, compared to sales of $709 million for the second quarter of 2024.

On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.47, compared to $2.40 for the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2025 grew 12% to $2.95, compared to $2.63 for the second quarter of 2024.

"Our team continues to execute extremely well and we delivered excellent results again this quarter, driven by robust instrument replacement trends–particularly among large pharma and CDMO customers," said Dr. Udit Batra, President & CEO, Waters Corporation. "Our performance reflects strong execution against our commercial growth initiatives, rapid uptake of our new products, and contribution from incremental growth vectors such as GLP-1s, PFAS and generics. As a result, we are raising our full-year sales and earnings guidance."

Dr. Batra continued, "The strength of our core business provides the foundation for our next phase of growth. Our combination with BD Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions accelerates our strategy into multiple high-growth adjacencies, while extending the reach of our proven execution model into resilient, high-volume end markets. We are well positioned to drive substantial value creation for shareholders with synergies that create immediate impact. Integration planning is underway, and I'm pleased to share that Chris Ross, SVP of Global Operations, will lead this effort. Chris and I successfully partnered on the EMD Millipore–Sigma-Aldrich integration, and I'm confident in his leadership to deliver strong results once again."

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

This release contains financial measures, such as constant currency growth rates, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and free cash flow, among others, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 future 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 expectations regarding our strategy, 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, 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. Furthermore, important factors related to the proposed transaction between Waters, BD and SpinCo could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated, including that one or more closing conditions to the transaction, including certain regulatory approvals, may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the proposed transaction, may require conditions, limitations or restrictions in connection with such approvals or that the required approval by the stockholders of Waters may not be obtained, the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed on the terms or in the time frame expected by Waters, or at all, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, uncertainty of the expected financial performance of the combined company following completion of the proposed transaction, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay in completing the proposed transaction or integrating the businesses of Waters and SpinCo, on the expected timeframe or at all, the ability of the combined company to implement its business strategy, difficulties and delays in the combined company achieving revenue and cost synergies, inability of the combined company to retain and hire key personnel, the occurrence of any event that could give rise to termination of the proposed transaction, the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed transaction or other litigation, settlements or investigations may affect the timing or occurrence of the proposed transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability, evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes, changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions or any volatility resulting from the imposition of and changing policies around tariffs, actions by third parties, including government agencies, the risk that the anticipated tax treatment of the proposed transaction is not obtained, the risk of greater than expected difficulty in separating the business of SpinCo from the other businesses of BD, risks related to the disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the pendency of the proposed transaction, or other effects of the pendency of the proposed transaction on the relationship of any of the parties to the transaction with their employees, customers, suppliers, or other counterparties; 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, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which discussions are incorporated by reference in this release, as updated by the Company's future 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.

(a) Selling & administrative expenses include purchased intangibles amortization and litigation provisions
and settlements.

(b) The purchased intangibles amortization, a non-cash expense, was
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, and other professional fees. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.

(f) Litigation provisions and settlement gains were excluded as these items are isolated, unpredictable and not
expected to recur regularly.

(g) 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.

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.

under the Wyatt retention bonus program. The Company believes that these payments are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.

(a) Constant currency growth rates are a non-GAAP financial measure that
measures the change in net sales between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates during the current period. These amounts are estimated at the current foreign currency exchange rates and based on the
forecasted geographical sales in local currency, as well as an assessment of market conditions as of today, 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.
