The Company’s net sales increased less than one percent in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, with foreign currency translation having an insignificant impact on sales growth. For the first nine months of 2023, the Company’s net sales increased 1% with the effect of foreign currency translation decreasing sales growth by 2% as compared to the first nine months of 2022. In both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, the Company’s net sales were negatively impacted by a significant reduction in sales in China due to lower customer demand for our products. Excluding China, the Company’s net sales increased 7% and 5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The Wyatt acquisition increased sales growth by 4% and 2% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.
For the first nine months of 2023, the Company had the same amount of calendar days when compared to the first nine months of 2022. At current foreign currency exchange rates, the Company expects that foreign currency translation will be negative to sales for the remainder of 2023.
Instrument system sales decreased 5% and 4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, as sales growth in the U.S., Latin America and Europe was offset by weaker customer demand in Asia (primarily in China). Instrument system sales in China declined 32% and 23% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, due to lower customer demand for our products. Excluding China, the Company’s instrument system sales increased 4% and 3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The decline in China’s instrument sales can be attributed to the decline in customer demand. The Wyatt acquisition increased instrument system sales growth by 7% and 3%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Foreign currency translation increased instrument system sales growth by 1% in the third quarter of 2023 and decreased instrument system sales growth by 1% in the first nine months of 2023.
Recurring revenues (combined sales of precision chemistry consumables and services) increased 6% and 5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, with foreign currency translation having a minimal impact on sales growth in the third quarter and decreasing sales growth by 2% for the first nine months of 2023. Service revenues grew 8% and 6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Wyatt’s service revenues added 3% and 1% to service revenue growth for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Chemistry sales growth was flat and increased 3% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Chemistry sales were significantly impacted by the lower customer demand in China for our products. Excluding the impact of China, the Company’s chemistry sales grew 9% and 6%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.
Operating income decreased 7% and 6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, primarily due to higher salary expenses related to merit compensation and an increase in severance-related costs associated with a workforce reduction, partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs. In July 2023, the Company made organizational changes to better align its resources with its growth and innovation strategies, resulting in a worldwide workforce reduction that has impacted approximately 5% of the Company’s employees. The Company incurred approximately $23 million and $27 million of severance-related costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The Company paid $12 million and $14 million of severance-related costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, with the majority of the remaining costs to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2024. The Company estimates that the savings from this reduction in workforce will be approximately $48 million on an annual basis. In addition, the Company’s operating income was impacted by the Wyatt acquisition due diligence and integration costs of $1 million and $13 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, and the Wyatt acquisition related bonus expense of $8 million and $11 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The negative effect of foreign currency translation lowered operating income by approximately $2 million and $18 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.
The Company generated $373 million and $413 million of net cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities included $1.3 billion for the Wyatt acquisition in the first nine months of 2023 and capital expenditures related to property, plant, equipment and software capitalization of $119 million and $114 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company funded the Wyatt acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The Company’s outstanding debt on September 30, 2023 was $2.5 billion, a change of $1.0 billion from the end of the first quarter of 2023. The Company estimates that its interest expense for the full year 2023 will be approximately $80 million. As a result of the Wyatt acquisition, the Company temporarily suspended its share buyback program in the first quarter 2023.

Geographically, the Company’s sales growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was broad-based across most major regions, with the exception of China, which declined 27% and 17%, respectively. The decline in China was primarily driven by lower demand for our instrument systems and chemistry products. Excluding China, the Company’s net sales increased 7% and 5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Foreign currency translation had minimal impact on sales growth in the third quarter and decreased sales growth by 2% in the first nine months of 2023.
During the third quarter of 2023, sales increased 7% in the U.S. and 15% in Europe, while decreasing 15% in Asia driven by weakness in China and the negative effect of currency translation on sales in Japan. In the third quarter of 2023, foreign currency translation increased sales growth in Europe by 7% and decreased sales growth in Asia by 4%. This decline in Asia was primarily driven by the 8% decline in sales in Japan due to foreign currency translation. Wyatt’s sales contributed 9% of sales growth in the U.S. and 5% of sales growth in Europe in the third quarter of 2023. During the first nine months of 2023, sales increased 5% in the U.S. and 9% in Europe, while decreasing 8% in Asia driven by weakness in China, with the effect of foreign currency translation increasing sales growth in Europe by 1% and decreasing sales growth in Asia by 4%, which includes a 9% decrease in sales in Japan resulting from foreign currency translation.

Waters products and service sales increased 1% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, with the effect of foreign currency translation having minimal impact on sales growth in the third quarter, while decreasing Waters sales growth by 1% in the first nine months of 2023. The Wyatt acquisition increased Waters products and service sales by approximately 5% and 2% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Waters instrument system sales decreased by 5% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 due to weaker customer demand in China. Waters instrument system sales in China declined 35% and 25% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. Foreign currency translation had minimal impact on Waters instrument system sales growth in the third quarter while decreasing sales growth by 1% for the first nine months of 2023. Wyatt’s instrument system sales contributed 8% and 4% to Waters instrument system sales growth for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.
Waters chemistry consumables sales were significantly impacted by the lower customer demand in China for our products. Excluding the impact of China, the Company’s chemistry sales grew 9% and 6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. This sales growth was primarily due to the continued strong demand in most major geographies, driven by the uptake in columns and application-specific testing kits to pharmaceutical customers, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign currency translation, which decreased chemistry sales growth by 1% and 2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.
Waters service sales increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 due to higher service demand billing, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign currency translation, which decreased service sales growth by 2% in the first nine months of 2023.

TA sales declined 3% for the third quarter of 2023 due to lower customer demand for TA products and services while TA sales grew 4% for the first nine months of 2023. For the third quarter, TA’s sales geographically were weak in the U.S., China and Asia Other, declining 8%, 5% and 13%, respectively, but were strong in Europe and Japan, which grew 7% and 19%, respectively. Foreign currency translation increased sales by 3% in Asia Other and 9% in Europe, while decreasing sales by 1% in China and 11% in Japan. For the first nine months of 2023, TA sales growth was broad-based across most major geographies, except for China and Asia Other, which declined 11% and 15%, respectively. The sales growth for the first nine months of 2023 was primarily driven by strong customer demand for our thermal analysis instruments and service, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. Foreign currency translation increased sales by 1% for the third quarter and decreased sales by 1% for the first nine months of 2023.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by 5% and 3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales in these periods is primarily due to the change in sales mix and the lower material and freight costs for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023. Cost of sales is affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, foreign currency translation, product mix, product costs of instrument systems and amortization of software platforms. At current foreign currency exchange rates, the Company expects foreign currency translation to be neutral to gross profit during 2023.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 14% and 15% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The increase in these periods is primarily driven by severance-related costs in connection with a reduction in workforce, which increased expenses by 14% and 5%; the Wyatt acquisition due diligence and integration costs, which increased expenses by 1% and 3%; and the Wyatt acquisition-related bonus expense, which increased expenses by 5% and 2%, in each case, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs. The effect of foreign currency translation increased selling and administrative expenses by 2% for the third quarter and decreased expenses by 1% for the first nine months of 2023.
As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 26.2% and 26.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, and 23.2% and 22.9% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses decreased 3% in the third quarter and increased 2% in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in third quarter research and development expenses was driven by lower incentive compensation costs, which were offset by annual merit increases and costs associated with the development of new product and technology initiatives. The impact of foreign currency exchange increased expenses by 1% for the third quarter and decreased expenses by 2% for the first nine months of 2023.
33
Purchased Intangibles Amortization
The increase in purchased intangible amortization of $11 million and $16 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, can be attributed to the Wyatt acquisition intangible assets.
Acquired In-Process Research & Development
In 2022, the Company completed an asset acquisition in which the CDMS technology assets of Megadalton were acquired for approximately $10 million in total purchase price, of which $5 million was paid at closing and the remaining $4 million will be paid in the future at various dates through 2029.
Other Income, net
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company sold an equity investment for $10 million in cash and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $7 million in other income, net on the statement of operations. The Company also incurred $6 million in losses on an equity investment within other income, net on the statement of operations.
Interest Expense, net
The increase in interest expense for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 can be primarily attributed to the additional borrowings by the Company to fund the Wyatt acquisition. The Company estimates that its interest expense for the full year 2023 will be approximately $80 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
The four principal jurisdictions in which the Company manufactures are the U.S., Ireland, the U.K. and Singapore, where the statutory tax rates were 21%, 12.5%, 25% and 17%, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. The Company has a Development and Expansion Incentive in Singapore that provides a concessionary income tax rate of 5% on certain types of income for the period April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The effect of applying the concessionary income tax rate rather than the statutory tax rate to income from qualifying activities in Singapore increased the Company’s net income by $11 million and $15 million and increased the Company’s net income per diluted share by $0.18 and $0.25 for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022 was 12.2% and 14.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate can be primarily attributed to the impact of discrete tax benefits in the current year and differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022 was 14.6% and 14.5%, respectively. The differences between the effective tax rates can primarily be attributed to differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $373 million and $413 million during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in 2023 operating cash flow was primarily a result of lower net income, higher inventory levels, higher income tax payments and the payment of acquired Wyatt liabilities, offset by higher cash collections in 2023 compared to 2022. The changes within net cash provided by operating activities include the following significant changes in the sources and uses of net cash provided by operating activities, aside from the changes in net income:
• | The changes in accounts receivable were primarily attributable to the timing of payments made by customers and timing of sales. Days sales outstanding was 81 days at September 30, 2023 and 77 days at October 1, 2022. |
• | The increase in inventory can primarily be attributed to higher material costs as well as an increase in safety stock levels to help mitigate any future supply chain issues. |
• | Net cash provided from deferred revenue and customer advances results from annual increases in new service contracts as a higher installed base of customers renew annual service contracts. |
• | An increase in income tax payments of $79 million as compared to the prior year and the payment of $26 million in Wyatt acquired liabilities. |
• | Other changes were attributable to variation in the timing of various provisions, expenditures, prepaid income taxes and accruals in other current assets, other assets and other liabilities. |
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.4 billion and $46 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additions to fixed assets and capitalized software were $119 million and $114 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The cash flows from investing activities in 2023 and 2022 include $12 million and $24 million, respectively, of capital expenditures related to the major expansion of the Company’s precision chemistry consumable operations in the United States. The Company has incurred costs of $245 million on this facility inception-to-date through the end of the first nine months of 2023 and anticipates completing this new state-of-the-art facility in 2023.
35
During the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, the Company purchased $2 million and $11 million of investments, respectively, while $2 million and $78 million of investments matured, respectively, and were used for financing activities described below.
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company paid $5 million for the CDMS technology and intellectual property right asset from Megadalton, and the Company is required to make an additional $4 million of guaranteed payments at various dates in the future through 2029. The total purchase price of approximately $10 million was accounted for as Acquired In-Process Research and Development and expensed as part of costs and operating expenses in the statement of operations in 2022.
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company received $10 million in proceeds from equity investments and made $1 million of investments in equity investments.
On May 16, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Wyatt for a total purchase price of $1.3 billion in cash. Wyatt is a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories, and services. The acquisition will expand Waters’ portfolio and increase exposure to large molecule applications.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
The Company had entered into a credit agreement in September 2021 governing the Company’s five-year, $1.8 billion revolving facility that matures in September 2026. On March 3, 2023, in anticipation of closing of the Wyatt acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the credit agreement governing its revolving credit facility (the “2023 Amendment”). The 2023 Amendment increases the borrowing capacity by $200 million to an aggregate total borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a total of $2.5 billion in outstanding debt, which consisted of $1.3 billion in outstanding senior unsecured notes and $1.2 billion borrowed under its credit agreement. The Company’s net debt borrowings increased by $0.9 billion and $30 million during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily to fund the Wyatt acquisition.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreements with durations up to three years with an aggregate notional value of $625 million to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of its euro-denominated and yen-denominated net asset investments. As a result of entering into these agreements, the Company lowered net interest expense by approximately $8 million and $6 million during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company anticipates that these swap agreements will lower net interest expense by approximately $10 million in 2023.
In January 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $4 billion of its outstanding common stock over a two-year period. This new program replaced the remaining amounts available from the pre-existing program. In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the share repurchase program through January 21, 2023. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended and extended this repurchase program’s term by one year such that it shall now expire on January 21, 2024 and increased the total authorization level to $4.8 billion, an increase of $750 million. During the first nine months of September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the Company repurchased $58 million and $467 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, respectively, under the share repurchase program. In addition, the Company repurchased $12 million and $11 million of common stock related to the vesting of restricted stock units during the first nine months of September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. While the Company believes that it has the financial flexibility to fund these share repurchases, as well as to invest in research, technology and business acquisitions, given current cash levels and debt borrowing capacity, it has temporarily suspended its share repurchases due to its acquisition of Wyatt.
The Company received $18 million and $36 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the purchase of shares pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $337 million as of September 30, 2023. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generated from foreign operations, with $307 million held by foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2023, of which $196 million was held in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
36
Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Dividends
A summary of the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023. The Company reviewed its contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30, 2023 and determined that there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business from the information set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious arguments in its current litigation matters and that any outcome, either individually or in the aggregate, will not be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
During fiscal year 2023, the Company expects to contribute a total of approximately $3 million to $6 million to its defined benefit plans.
The Company has not paid any dividends and has no plans, at this time, to pay any dividends in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of its business that are not consolidated (to the extent of the Company’s ownership interest therein) into the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby it has subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to its current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by the Company or its subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, the Company’s costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and management accordingly believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023, the Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which its financial status depends were identified as those relating to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, uncertain tax positions, litigation and business combinations and asset acquisitions. The Company reviewed its policies and determined that those policies remain the Company’s most critical accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company did not make any changes in those policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Certain of these and other factors are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements, whether because of these factors or for other reasons. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations from the investments of cash generated from operations. Investments with maturities greater than 90 days are classified as investments and are held primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated treasury bills and commercial paper, bank deposits and corporate debt securities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company estimates that a hypothetical adverse change of 100 basis points across all maturities would not have a material effect on the fair market value of its portfolio.
The Company is also exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company maintains cash balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits, and in foreign subsidiary accounts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $307 million out of $337 million and $472 million out of $481 million, respectively, of the Company’s total cash, cash equivalents and investments were held by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, $196 million out of $337 million and $336 million out of $481 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments were held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no holdings in auction rate securities or commercial paper issued by structured investment vehicles.
Assuming a hypothetical adverse change of 10% in year-end exchange rates (a strengthening of the U.S. dollar), the fair market value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2023 would decrease by approximately $19 million, of which the majority would be recorded to foreign currency translation in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.
There have been no other material changes in the Company’s market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, refer to Item 7A of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.
39
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal executive officer and principal financial officer), with the participation of management, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure and (2) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change was identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II: Other Information
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
There have been no material changes in the Company’s legal proceedings during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as described in Item 3 of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
Information regarding risk factors of the Company is set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023. The Company reviewed its risk factors as of September 30, 2023 and determined that there were no material changes from the ones set forth in the Form 10-K. Note, however, the discussion of certain factors under the subheading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased 205 and 2,269 shares at a cost of $57 thousand and $634 thousand with average prices paid of $280.25 and $279.44 during fiscal July and September, respectively, of equity securities registered by the Company under the Exchange Act.
In January 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $4 billion of its outstanding common stock in open market or private transactions over a two-year period. This program replaced the remaining amounts available under the pre-existing authorization. In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the share repurchase program through January 21, 2023. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended and extended this repurchase program’s term by one year such that it shall now expire on January 21, 2024 and increased the total authorization level to $4.8 billion, an increase of $750 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 15.2 million shares at a cost of $3.8 billion under the January 2019 repurchase program and had a total of $1.0 billion authorized for future repurchases. The size and timing of these purchases, if any, will depend on our stock price and market and business conditions, as well as other factors.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Waters Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a specialty measurement company that operates with a fundamental underlying purpose to advance the science that enables our customers to enhance human health and well-being. The Company has pioneered analytical workflow solutions involving liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and thermal analysis innovations serving the life, materials and food sciences for more than 60 years. The Company primarily designs, manufactures, sells and services high-performance liquid chromatography (“HPLC”), ultra-performance liquid chromatography (“UPLC TM ” and, together with HPLC, referred to as “LC”) and mass spectrometry (“MS”) technology systems and support products, including chromatography columns, other consumable products and comprehensive post-warranty service plans. These systems are complementary products that are frequently employed together (“LC-MS”) and sold as integrated instrument systems using common software platforms. LC is a standard technique and is utilized in a broad range of industries to detect, identify, monitor and measure the chemical, physical and biological composition of materials, and to purify a full range of compounds. MS technology, principally in conjunction with chromatography, is employed in drug discovery and development, including clinical trial testing, the analysis of proteins in disease processes (known as “proteomics”), nutritional safety analysis and environmental testing. LC-MS instruments combine a liquid phase sample introduction and separation system with mass spectrometric compound identification and quantification. In addition, the Company designs, manufactures, sells and services thermal analysis, rheometry and calorimetry instruments through its TATM product line. These instruments are used in predicting the suitability and stability of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, water, polymers, metals and viscous liquids for various industrial, consumer goods and healthcare products, as well as for life science research. The Company is also a developer and supplier of advanced software-based products that interface with the Company’s instruments, as well as other manufacturers’ instruments. On May 16, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Wyatt Technology, LLC and its three operating subsidiaries, Wyatt Technology Europe GmbH, Wyatt Technology France and Wyatt Technology UK Ltd. (collectively, “Wyatt”), for a total purchase price of $1.3 billion in cash. Wyatt is a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories and services. The acquisition will expand Waters’ portfolio and increase exposure to large molecule applications. The Company financed this transaction with a combination of cash on its balance sheet and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company’s interim fiscal quarter typically ends on the thirteenth Saturday of each quarter. Since the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31, the first and fourth fiscal quarters may have more or less than thirteen complete weeks. The Company’s third fiscal quarters for 2023 and 2022 ended on September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. It is management’s opinion that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2023. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the analytical instrument industry, including, but not limited to, global economic and financial market conditions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in customer demand, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, costs of developing new technologies, levels of debt and debt service requirements, risk of disruption, dependence on key personnel, protection and litigation of proprietary technology, shifts in taxable income between tax jurisdictions and compliance with regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and similar foreign regulatory authorities and agencies. Through the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have not been materially impacted and, thus, the Company concluded that no interim goodwill or long-lived asset impairment analyses were required. Further, there have been no violations of debt covenants. Any prolonged material disruption to the Company’s employees, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could result in a material impact to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the future. Translation of Foreign Currencies The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency of its country of domicile, except for the Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Cayman Islands, where the underlying transactional cash flows are denominated in currencies other than the respective local currency of domicile. The functional currency of the Hong Kong, Singapore and Cayman Islands subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, based on the respective entity’s cash flows. For the Company’s foreign operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the respective period. Any resulting translation gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments, with original maturities of 90 days or less, while investments with longer maturities are classified as investments. The Company maintains cash balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits, and in foreign subsidiary accounts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $307 million out of $337 million and $472 million out of $481 million, respectively, of the Company’s total cash, cash equivalents and investments were held by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, $196 million out of $337 million and $336 million out of $481 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments were held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company has very limited use of rebates and other cash considerations payable to customers and, as a result, the transaction price determination does not have any material variable consideration. The Company does not consider there to be significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables due to the short-term nature of the balances, the Company having a large and diverse customer base, and the Company having a strong historical experience of collecting receivables with minimal defaults. As a result, credit risk is considered low across territories and trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial asset. The allowance for credit losses is based on a number of factors and is calculated by applying a historical loss rate to trade receivable aging balances to estimate a general reserve balance along with an additional adjustment for any specific receivables with known or anticipated issues affecting the likelihood of recovery. Past due balances with a probability of default based on historical data as well as relevant available forward-looking information are included in the specific adjustment. The historical loss rate is reviewed on at least an annual basis and the allowance for credit losses is reviewed quarterly for any required adjustments. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Trade receivables related to instrument sales are collateralized by the instrument that is sold. If there is a risk of default related to a receivable that is collateralized, then the fair value of the collateral is calculated and adjusted for the cost to re-possess, refurbish and re-sell the instrument. This adjusted fair value is compared to the receivable balance and the difference would be recorded as the expected credit loss. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 (in thousands):
Other Investments During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded realized gains of approximately $0.7 million. During the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded realized gains of approximately $7 million and incurred approximately $6 million in losses. Realized gains and losses on equity investments are recorded within other income, net on the statement of operations. Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, at the date of each acquisition, the Company measures the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets) and liabilities assumed and allocates the amounts paid to all items measured. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired is based on valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management and which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. Any excess of the fair value consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary before performing the quantitative assessment. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be required. Otherwise, no further testing will be required. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, the Company compares the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The fair value of reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flows technique, which includes certain management assumptions, such as estimated future cash flows, estimated growth rates and discount rates. Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant judgment by management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment for its reporting units as of December 31 each year. The Company has two reporting units: WatersTM and TATM . Goodwill is allocated to the reporting units at the time of acquisition. The Company’s intangible assets include purchased technology; capitalized software; costs associated with acquiring Company patents, trademarks and intellectual properties, such as licenses; and acquired IPR&D. Purchased intangibles are recorded at their fair market values as of the acquisition date and amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from to fifteen years. Other intangibles are amortized over a period ranging from to ten years. Acquired IPR&D is amortized from the date of completion of the acquired program over its estimated useful life. IPR&D and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested annually for impairment. Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable data, such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 (in thousands):
The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Fair Value of 401(k) Restoration Plan Assets The 401(k) Restoration Plan is a nonqualified defined contribution plan and the assets were held in registered mutual funds and have been classified as Level 1. The fair values of the assets in the plan are determined through market and observable sources from daily quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. Fair Value of Cash Equivalents, Investments, Foreign Exchange Contracts, Interest Rate Cross-Currency Swap Agreements and Interest Rate Swap Cash Flow Hedges The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents, investments, foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap cash flow hedges are determined through market and observable sources and have been classified as Level 2. These assets and liabilities have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, typically utilizing third-party pricing services. The pricing services use many inputs to determine value, including reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validates the prices provided by third-party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and obtaining market values from other pricing sources. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s variable interest rate debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rate. The carrying value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was $1.3 billion at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was estimated using discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company. The fair value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was estimated to be $1.1 billion at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, using Level 2 inputs. Derivative Transactions The Company is a global company that operates in over 35 countries and, as a result, the Company’s net sales, cost of sales, operating expenses and balance sheet amounts are significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency price risk on foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations when it translates its non-U.S. dollar foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars and when any of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase or sell products or services in a currency other than its own currency. The Company’s principal strategies in managing exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are to (1) naturally hedge the foreign-currency-denominated liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet against corresponding assets of the same currency, such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are typically offset by corresponding changes in assets and (2) mitigate foreign exchange risk exposure of international operations by hedging the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of its euro-denominated and yen-denominated net asset investments. The Company presents the derivative transactions in financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Company does not specifically enter into any derivatives that hedge foreign-currency-denominated operating assets, liabilities or commitments on its balance sheet, other than a portion of certain third-party accounts receivable and accounts payable, and the Company’s net worldwide intercompany receivables and payables, which are eliminated in consolidation. The Company periodically aggregates its net worldwide balances by currency and then enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that mature within 90 days to hedge a portion of the remaining balance to minimize some of the Company’s currency price risk exposure. The foreign currency exchange contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Principal hedged currencies include the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Mexican peso and Brazilian real. Cash Flow Hedges The Company’s Credit Facility is a variable borrowing and has interest payments based on a contractually specified interest rate index. The contractually specified index on the Credit Facility is the 3-month Term SOFR. The variable rate interest payments create interest risk for the Company as interest payments will fluctuate based on changes in the contractually specified interest rate index over the life of the Credit Facility. In order to reduce interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swaps that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the variable rate borrowing over its term. The interest rate swaps represent cash flow hedges and are assessed for hedge effectiveness each reporting period. When the hedge relationship is highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows, the Company will record the entire change in fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified to earnings in the period that the underlying transaction impacts consolidated earnings. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge relationship will be de-designated and amounts accumulated in other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to earnings in the current period. Interest settlements due to benchmark interest rate changes are recorded in interest income or interest expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any cash flow hedges that were deemed ineffective. Interest Rate Cross-Currency Swap Agreements As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreements with durations up to three years with an aggregate notional value of $625 million to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of its euro-denominated and yen-denominated net asset investments. Under hedge accounting, the change in fair value of the derivative that relates to changes in the foreign currency spot rate are recorded in the currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income and remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign operation. The difference between the interest rate received and paid under the interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreement is recorded in interest income in the statement of operations. The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are included in the consolidated balance sheets are classified as follows (in thousands):
The following is a summary of the activity included in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income related to the foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges (in thousands):

Acquisitions | 5 Acquisitions On May 16, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Wyatt for $1.3 billion, net of cash acquired. Wyatt is a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories and services. The acquisition will expand Waters’ portfolio and increase exposure to large molecule applications. As a result of the acquisition, the results of Wyatt are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was based upon preliminary information and is subject to change if additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date becomes available. The Company is in the ongoing process of conducting a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition. The final fair value of the net assets acquired may result in adjustments to these assets and liabilities, including goodwill. The intangible assets were valued with input from valuation specialists. The Company used variations of the income approach, which uses Level 3 inputs, in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Wyatt acquisition. Specifically, the customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The Company utilized the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the tradename and the developed technology. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of May 16, 2023 (in thousands):
The details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired and the estimated useful lives are as follows (dollars in thousands ):
The Company allocated $879 million of the purchase price to goodwill which is During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated results included net sales of $ 29 million and $ 45 million, respectively, and a net operating loss of $6 million and $ 9 million, respectively, since the acquisition closed on May 16, 2023. The Company also incurred transaction related costs of $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which are recorded in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only. It is not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been a single company as of January 1, 2022 or the future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters or any anticipated synergies that may be associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information also does not include any integration costs that the Company may incur related to the acquisition as part of combining the operations of the companies. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of the Company’s operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022 (in thousands):
The impact of the unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. To reflect the acquisition of Wyatt as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022, the unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments to reflect, among other things, the incremental intangible asset amortization to be incurred based on the preliminary values of each identifiable intangible asset of Wyatt and the interest expense from debt financings obtained to partially fund the cash consideration transferred. Pro forma adjustments were tax effected at the Company’s historical statutory rates in effect for the respective periods. Pro forma net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses related to transaction costs incurred and the fair value adjustment of inventory. These non-recurring expenses were reclassified to the prior period and included in the pro forma net income for the nine months ended October 1, 2022. In conjunction with the Wyatt acquisition, the Company entered into retention agreements with certain employees, in which the Company agreed to pay a total of $40 million, in two equal installments upon the first and second anniversary of the acquisition date. As these employees are earning their individual cash award by providing service over the
two-year period that benefit the Company, the $40 million will be recognized within total costs and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations over the two-year service period. The Company has recorded $8 million and $11 million of expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. |

Debt | 7 Debt On May 16, 2023, the Company financed the Wyatt acquisition with a combination of cash on its balance sheet and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As a result of the Wyatt transaction, the Company’s outstanding debt on September 30, 2023 was $2.5 billion, a change of $1.0 billion from the end of the first quarter of 2023. On May 11, 2023, the Company issued the following senior unsecured notes:
The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of these senior unsecured notes to repay other outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the Series P and Q Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company may prepay some or all of the Senior Notes, at any time and from time to time, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding, plus the applicable make-whole amount for Series P and Q Senior Notes, in each case, upon no more than 60 nor less than 20 days’ written notice to the holders of the Senior Notes. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the note purchase agreement) of the Company, the Company may be required to prepay the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Other provisions for these senior unsecured notes are similar to the existing senior unsecured notes, as described below. The Company has a five-year, $1.8 billion revolving facility (the “Credit Facility”) that expires in September 2026. On March 3, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facility to increase the borrowing capacity by $200 million to an aggregate total borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion, which did not affect the maturity date of September 17, 2026. The amendment also replaced all references in the Credit Facility to LIBOR with Term SOFR as the benchmark rate. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Credit Facility had a total of $1.2 billion and $270 million outstanding, respectively. The interest rates applicable under the Credit Facility are, at the Company’s option, equal to either the alternate base rate (which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (1) the prime rate in effect on such day, (2) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate on such day plus 1/2 of 1% per annum and (3) the adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day), plus 1% annum) or the applicable 1, 3 or 6 month adjusted Term SOFR or EURIBO rate for euro-denominated loans, in each case, plus an interest rate margin based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, which can range between 0 and 12.5 basis points for alternate base rate loans and between 80 and 112.5 basis points for Term SOFR or EURIBO rate loans. The facility fee on the Credit Facility ranges between 7.5 and 25 basis points per annum, based on the leverage ratio, of the amount of the revolving facility commitments and the outstanding term loan. The Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with an interest coverage ratio test of not less than 3.50:1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and a leverage ratio test of not more than 3.50:1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. In addition, the Credit Facility includes negative covenants, affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for investment grade credit facilities. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a total of $1.3 billion of outstanding senior unsecured notes. Interest on the fixed rate senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually each year. Interest on the floating rate senior unsecured notes is payable quarterly. The Company may prepay all or some of the senior unsecured notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the note purchase agreement), the Company may be required to prepay the senior unsecured notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company had the following outstanding debt at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

None of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had outstanding short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreements

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 8 Income Taxes The four principal jurisdictions in which the Company manufactures are the U.S., Ireland, the U.K. and Singapore, where the statutory tax rates were 21%, 12.5%, 25% and 17%, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. The Company has a Development and Expansion Incentive in Singapore that provides a concessionary income tax rate of 5% on certain types of income for the period April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The effect of applying the concessionary income tax rate rather than the statutory tax rate to income arising from qualifying activities in Singapore increased the Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 by $11 million and $15 million, respectively, and increased the Company’s net income per diluted share by $0.18 and $0.25, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was 12.2% and 14.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate can be primarily attributed to the impact of discrete tax benefits in the current year and differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was 14.6% and 14.5%, respectively. The differences between the effective tax rates can primarily be attributed to differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax return positions in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes, which require financial statement reporting of the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax reporting positions on the presumption that all concerned tax authorities possess full knowledge of those tax reporting positions, as well as all of the pertinent facts and circumstances, but prohibit any discounting of unrecognized tax benefits associated with those reporting positions for the time value of money. The Company continues to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, at September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 were $32 million and $29 million, respectively. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax audit examinations in significant jurisdictions for the years ended on or before December 31, 2017. The Company continuously monitors the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments for related changes in the measurement of unrecognized tax benefits, related net interest and penalties, and deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company expects to record reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits and related net interest and penalties of $18 million within the next twelve months due to potential tax audit settlements and the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments. The Company does not expect to record any other material reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments | 13 Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In October 2021, accounting guidance was issued that requires acquirers in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The new guidance requires that at the acquisition date, the acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with 606 as if it had originated the contracts. This guidance differs from current GAAP which requires an acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts that are accounted for in accordance with 606, at fair value on the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, accounting guidance was issued that facilitates the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in the update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January of 2021, an update was issued to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions under the reference rate reform guidance for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in the reference rate reform guidance, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. This temporary guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, an update was issued because the cessation date for overnight LIBOR rates being published was extended to June 30, 2023, which was beyond the current expiration date of this guidance. The update extended the sunset date to December 31, 2024. The Company may elect to apply this guidance for all contract modifications or eligible hedging relationships during that time period subject to certain criteria. The Company does not believe that it has material reference rate exposure which would require utilizing the guidance under this accounting pronouncement and if adopted does not believe that this standard would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. It is management’s opinion that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2023. |

Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the analytical instrument industry, including, but not limited to, global economic and financial market conditions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in customer demand, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, costs of developing new technologies, levels of debt and debt service requirements, risk of disruption, dependence on key personnel, protection and litigation of proprietary technology, shifts in taxable income between tax jurisdictions and compliance with regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and similar foreign regulatory authorities and agencies. Through the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have not been materially impacted and, thus, the Company concluded that no interim goodwill or long-lived asset impairment analyses were required. Further, there have been no violations of debt covenants. Any prolonged material disruption to the Company’s employees, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could result in a material impact to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the future.

Translation of Foreign Currencies | Translation of Foreign Currencies The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency of its country of domicile, except for the Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Cayman Islands, where the underlying transactional cash flows are denominated in currencies other than the respective local currency of domicile. The functional currency of the Hong Kong, Singapore and Cayman Islands subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, based on the respective entity’s cash flows. For the Company’s foreign operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the respective period. Any resulting translation gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments, with original maturities of 90 days or less, while investments with longer maturities are classified as investments. The Company maintains cash balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits, and in foreign subsidiary accounts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $307 million out of $337 million and $472 million out of $481 million, respectively, of the Company’s total cash, cash equivalents and investments were held by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, $196 million out of $337 million and $336 million out of $481 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments were held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company has very limited use of rebates and other cash considerations payable to customers and, as a result, the transaction price determination does not have any material variable consideration. The Company does not consider there to be significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables due to the short-term nature of the balances, the Company having a large and diverse customer base, and the Company having a strong historical experience of collecting receivables with minimal defaults. As a result, credit risk is considered low across territories and trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial asset. The allowance for credit losses is based on a number of factors and is calculated by applying a historical loss rate to trade receivable aging balances to estimate a general reserve balance along with an additional adjustment for any specific receivables with known or anticipated issues affecting the likelihood of recovery. Past due balances with a probability of default based on historical data as well as relevant available forward-looking information are included in the specific adjustment. The historical loss rate is reviewed on at least an annual basis and the allowance for credit losses is reviewed quarterly for any required adjustments. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Trade receivables related to instrument sales are collateralized by the instrument that is sold. If there is a risk of default related to a receivable that is collateralized, then the fair value of the collateral is calculated and adjusted for the cost to re-possess, refurbish and re-sell the instrument. This adjusted fair value is compared to the receivable balance and the difference would be recorded as the expected credit loss. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 (in thousands):

Other Investments | Other Investments During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded realized gains of approximately $0.7 million. During the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded realized gains of approximately $7 million and incurred approximately $6 million in losses. Realized gains and losses on equity investments are recorded within other income, net on the statement of operations.

Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, at the date of each acquisition, the Company measures the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets) and liabilities assumed and allocates the amounts paid to all items measured. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired is based on valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management and which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. Any excess of the fair value consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary before performing the quantitative assessment. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be required. Otherwise, no further testing will be required. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, the Company compares the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The fair value of reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flows technique, which includes certain management assumptions, such as estimated future cash flows, estimated growth rates and discount rates. Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant judgment by management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment for its reporting units as of December 31 each year. The Company has two reporting units: WatersTM and TATM . Goodwill is allocated to the reporting units at the time of acquisition. The Company’s intangible assets include purchased technology; capitalized software; costs associated with acquiring Company patents, trademarks and intellectual properties, such as licenses; and acquired IPR&D. Purchased intangibles are recorded at their fair market values as of the acquisition date and amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from
to fifteen years. Other intangibles are amortized over a period ranging from to ten years. Acquired IPR&D is amortized from the date of completion of the acquired program over its estimated useful life. IPR&D and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested annually for impairment. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable data, such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 (in thousands):
The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Fair Value of 401(k) Restoration Plan Assets The 401(k) Restoration Plan is a nonqualified defined contribution plan and the assets were held in registered mutual funds and have been classified as Level 1. The fair values of the assets in the plan are determined through market and observable sources from daily quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. Fair Value of Cash Equivalents, Investments, Foreign Exchange Contracts, Interest Rate Cross-Currency Swap Agreements and Interest Rate Swap Cash Flow Hedges The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents, investments, foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap cash flow hedges are determined through market and observable sources and have been classified as Level 2. These assets and liabilities have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, typically utilizing third-party pricing services. The pricing services use many inputs to determine value, including reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validates the prices provided by third-party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and obtaining market values from other pricing sources. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s variable interest rate debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rate. The carrying value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was $1.3 billion at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was estimated using discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company. The fair value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt was estimated to be $1.1 billion at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, using Level 2 inputs.

Derivative Transactions | Derivative Transactions The Company is a global company that operates in over 35 countries and, as a result, the Company’s net sales, cost of sales, operating expenses and balance sheet amounts are significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency price risk on foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations when it translates its non-U.S. dollar foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars and when any of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase or sell products or services in a currency other than its own currency. The Company’s principal strategies in managing exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are to (1) naturally hedge the foreign-currency-denominated liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet against corresponding assets of the same currency, such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are typically offset by corresponding changes in assets and (2) mitigate foreign exchange risk exposure of international operations by hedging the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of its euro-denominated and yen-denominated net asset investments. The Company presents the derivative transactions in financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Company does not specifically enter into any derivatives that hedge foreign-currency-denominated operating assets, liabilities or commitments on its balance sheet, other than a portion of certain third-party accounts receivable and accounts payable, and the Company’s net worldwide intercompany receivables and payables, which are eliminated in consolidation. The Company periodically aggregates its net worldwide balances by currency and then enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that mature within 90 days to hedge a portion of the remaining balance to minimize some of the Company’s currency price risk exposure. The foreign currency exchange contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Principal hedged currencies include the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Mexican peso and Brazilian real. Interest Rate Cross-Currency Swap Agreements As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreements with durations up to three years with an aggregate notional value of $625 million to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of its euro-denominated and yen-denominated net asset investments. Under hedge accounting, the change in fair value of the derivative that relates to changes in the foreign currency spot rate are recorded in the currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income and remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign operation. The difference between the interest rate received and paid under the interest rate cross-currency swap derivative agreement is recorded in interest income in the statement of operations. The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are included in the consolidated balance sheets are classified as follows (in thousands):
The following is a summary of the activity included in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income related to the foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate cross-currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges | Cash Flow Hedges The Company’s Credit Facility is a variable borrowing and has interest payments based on a contractually specified interest rate index. The contractually specified index on the Credit Facility is the 3-month Term SOFR. The variable rate interest payments create interest risk for the Company as interest payments will fluctuate based on changes in the contractually specified interest rate index over the life of the Credit Facility. In order to reduce interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swaps that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the variable rate borrowing over its term. The interest rate swaps represent cash flow hedges and are assessed for hedge effectiveness each reporting period. When the hedge relationship is highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows, the Company will record the entire change in fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified to earnings in the period that the underlying transaction impacts consolidated earnings. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge relationship will be de-designated and amounts accumulated in other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to earnings in the current period. Interest settlements due to benchmark interest rate changes are recorded in interest income or interest expense. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any cash flow hedges that were deemed ineffective. |

Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity In January 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $4 billion of its outstanding common stock over a
two-year period. This program replaced the remaining amounts available from the pre-existing program. In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the share repurchase program through January 21, 2023. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended and extended this repurchase program’s term by one year such that it shall now expire on January 21, 2024 and increased the total authorization level to $4.8 billion, an increase of $750 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the Company repurchased 0.2 million and 1.5 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a cost of $58 million and $467 million, respectively, under the January 2019 authorization and other previously announced programs. In addition, the Company repurchased $12 million and $11 million of common stock related to the vesting of restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 15.2 million shares at a cost of $3.8 billion under the January 2019 repurchase program and had a total of $1.0 billion authorized for future repurchases. |

Product Warranty Costs | Product Warranty Costs The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale, which are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is based on historical information, such as past experience, product failure rates, number of units repaired and estimated costs of material and labor. The liability is reviewed for reasonableness at least quarterly. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s accrued warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 (in thousands):
