Waters Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results
Milford, Massachusetts, July 23, 2013 - Waters Corporation (NYSE/WAT) reported today second quarter 2013 sales of $451 million, flat with sales of $451 million in the second quarter of 2012. Foreign currency translation decreased sales growth by 2%. On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share (E.P.S.) for the second quarter were $1.03, compared to $1.09 for the second quarter in 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, E.P.S. were down 8% to $1.08 in the second quarter of 2013 from $1.17 in the second quarter of 2012. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP E.P.S. is attached.
Through the first six months of 2013, sales for the Company were $881 million, up 1% compared with sales of $872 million in the first six months of 2012. Foreign currency translation decreased sales growth during the first half of 2013 by 3%. On a GAAP basis, E.P.S. for the first six months of 2013 were $2.42 compared to $2.08 for the comparable period in 2012. On a non-GAAP basis and including adjustments on the attached reconciliation, E.P.S were down 1% to $2.15 in the first six months of 2013 from $2.17 in 2012.
Commenting on the quarter, Douglas Berthiaume, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “A late-quarter unexpected slowdown in instrument system orders offset strong recurring revenue growth and contributed to an overall disappointing performance in the second quarter. We believe that underlying demand for instrument systems is, in fact, stronger than indicated by our weak sales growth in the quarter, as order delays and a meaningful backlog build combined in late June to negatively affect our sales and earnings.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This release may contain “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. The Company’s 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, the impact on demand among the Company’s various market sectors from economic, sovereign and political uncertainties; fluctuations in expenditures by the Company’s customers, in particular large pharmaceutical companies; introduction of competing products by other companies and loss of market share; pressures on prices from competitors and/or customers; regulatory, economic and competitive obstacles to new product introductions; other changes in demand from the effect of mergers and acquisitions by the Company’s customers; increased regulatory burdens as the Company’s business evolves, especially with respect to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, among others; shifts in taxable income in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates; the outcome of tax examinations or changes in respective country legislation affecting the Company’s effective tax rate; the ability to access capital, maintain liquidity and service our debt in volatile market conditions, particularly in the U.S., as a large portion of the Company’s cash is held and operating cash flows are generated outside the U.S.; environmental and logistical obstacles affecting the distribution of products; risks associated with lawsuits and other legal actions, particularly involving claims for infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights; and foreign exchange rate fluctuations potentially affecting translation of the Company’s future non-U.S. operating results. 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, 2012 and Form 10-Q for the period ended March 30, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” discussions are incorporated by reference in this release.

Quarterly Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Non-GAAP Financials
(in thousands, except per share data)
The 2013 and 2012 adjusted amounts presented below are used by the management of the Company to measure operating performance with prior periods and forecasts and are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company believes that the use of Non-GAAP measures, such as Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Non-GAAP Operating Income, help management and investors gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future trends, and is consistent with how management measures compensation and forecasts the Company’s performance. The reconciliation identifies items management has excluded as non-operational transactions. Management has excluded the following items:
| • | Purchased Intangibles Amortization and Step-Up Expenses were excluded to allow for comparisons of operating results that are consistent over periods of time. |
| • | Restructuring Costs, Asset Impairments, Acquisition-Related Costs and Other One-Time Costs were excluded as the Company believes that costs to consolidate operations, reduce overhead and complete acquisitions are infrequent or unusual and are not indicative of normal operating costs. |
| • | Litigation Provisions and Non-Income Tax Audit Settlement Provisions were excluded as these costs are isolated, unpredictable and not expected to recur regularly. |
| • | Infrequent Income Tax Items were excluded as these costs and benefits are typically the result of audit examination settlements, updates in management’s assessment of ongoing examinations or other unusual tax items and are not indicative of the Company’s normal or future income tax expense. |
