BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can patients take steps to avoid needing root canal therapy?
That question is explored in a HelloNation article featuring Dr. Allen Meier of the Endodontic Center of Southern Indiana. The article outlines practical ways to protect teeth from decay, infection, and damage while emphasizing the importance of early detection and healthy daily habits.
Dr. Meier explains that while root canal treatment is one of the most reliable ways to save a tooth, prevention begins long before the pulp becomes infected. Most cases of tooth infection start with small, manageable issues that progress over time. By identifying these problems early and maintaining strong enamel, patients can reduce their chances of ever needing endodontic treatment.
The first key to prevention is timing. Tooth decay doesn’t reach the pulp overnight; it begins on the surface and gradually moves inward. Regular dental exams and digital X-rays help detect decay in its earliest stages, when a small filling can stop the damage from spreading. Dr. Meier notes that many patients wait until they feel tooth pain before scheduling care, but discomfort often appears only after the pulp is already inflamed or infected. Routine checkups make early intervention possible and help preserve the natural tooth without the need for more intensive treatment.
Good daily habits also make a significant difference. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste strengthens enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. Flossing removes bacteria between teeth where brushing cannot reach. A balanced diet supports these efforts by reducing acid and sugar exposure, both of which weaken enamel and speed the process of decay. Limiting sweetened drinks, especially sodas and fruit juices, helps protect the enamel and lowers the risk of infection.
Gum recession is another common factor that increases the likelihood of needing a root canal. When gums recede, they expose the softer root surface of the tooth. Unlike enamel, the root surface is more vulnerable to decay and can allow bacteria to reach the pulp more easily. Dr. Meier advises that gentle brushing, regular cleanings, and prompt treatment of gum disease all help reduce gum recession. Protecting the gums is one of the simplest and most effective ways to avoid deeper infection.
Dental injuries can also lead to the need for a root canal. A cracked or chipped tooth may seem minor, but even small openings can expose the inner pulp to bacteria. Trauma from sports, falls, or biting hard objects can cause hidden damage that develops into infection later. Wearing mouthguards during sports activities and avoiding chewing on hard materials such as ice or unpopped popcorn kernels reduces this risk. When an injury does occur, getting it checked quickly helps prevent further complications and lowers the chance of pulp damage.
Grinding, also known as bruxism, is another silent contributor to tooth damage. The repeated pressure of grinding can create microscopic cracks in the enamel over time. These tiny fractures weaken the structure of the tooth and allow bacteria to move closer to the pulp. Many people are unaware that they grind their teeth during sleep, but signs such as flattened edges or morning jaw soreness often reveal the habit. A custom nightguard helps protect against grinding damage and lowers the risk of infection that might otherwise require a root canal.
Addressing small problems quickly also helps prevent larger issues. Loose fillings, chipped enamel, and small fractures can all become entry points for bacteria. Sealing these areas promptly keeps the tooth stable and prevents infection from developing. Dr. Meier emphasizes that even a small area of decay or damage can spread if left untreated. Routine checkups give dentists a chance to identify and repair minor issues before they reach the pulp.
Once the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, avoiding endodontic treatment becomes more difficult. Mild inflammation may sometimes respond to protective crowns or medicated fillings, but when infection reaches the pulp, only a root canal can remove the bacteria and save the tooth. Pain, swelling, and prolonged sensitivity to temperature are clear signs that the pulp can no longer heal on its own. At this point, treatment becomes necessary to stop the infection from spreading.
Even though not every case can be prevented, Dr. Meier stresses that most root canal treatments originate from problems that could have been managed earlier. Regular exams, effective oral hygiene, and attention to changes in sensitivity or bite pressure all play a role in prevention. Early action makes the difference between a small filling and a major procedure.
Ultimately, reducing the need for a root canal depends on a combination of early detection and consistent care. Preventing decay, maintaining enamel strength, protecting against gum recession, and addressing grinding are all steps that protect the pulp from infection. When problems are identified early, they can often be corrected with simple restorations before deeper damage occurs. Root canal therapy remains a dependable solution when needed, but prevention through awareness and good habits remains the best way to protect the natural tooth.
The article, How to Reduce Your Chances of Needing a Root Canal, features insights from Dr. Allen Meier, Endodontic Expert of Bloomington, IN, in HelloNation.

financial condition, including its ability to comply with financial covenants. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press
release for more information and a reconciliation of our selected reported results to these non-GAAP measures.
Revenues for the quarter were $4.63 billion, up 4% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Revenue grew year-over-year due to increased customer demand for defense tech products, air traffic management solutions, and intelligence mission support as well as the acquisition of ENTRUST Solutions, which offset declines in some managed health and federal civilian IT programs.
For the third quarter, net income was $413 million, or $3.28 per diluted share. Net income and diluted EPS were up 12% and 16%, respectively, year-over-year; net income margin was 8.9% compared to 8.3% in the third quarter of 2025. Net income and diluted EPS for the quarter reflect $12 million in costs associated with recent strategic corporate transactions. Adjusting for these and certain other items, non-GAAP net income increased 14% year-over-year, to $455 million for the third quarter, and non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 19% to $3.62. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures reflect a lower effective tax rate, primarily due to an increase in the federal research tax credit and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits.
In addition, adjusted EBITDA was $644 million for the third quarter, up 5% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.9% increased from 13.8% in the third quarter of 2025. Profitability in the quarter was driven by improved program performance and disciplined cost management across the portfolio.
CASH FLOW SUMMARY
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $523 million for an operating cash flow conversion ratio of 128%. After adjusting for property, equipment, and software payments, quarterly free cash was $476 million for a free cash flow conversion ratio of 105%.
For the quarter, Leidos used $48 million in investing activities, including $47 million in property, equipment and software payments. Leidos used $549 million in financing activities, consisting primarily of $556 million returned to shareholders, including $504 million in share repurchases and $52 million as part of a regular quarterly cash dividend program. As of October 2, 2026, Leidos had $630 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.0 billion of debt.
On October 30, 2026, the Leidos Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.45 per share, which represents an increase of 4.7% over the prior quarter’s dividend amount. The dividend will be payable on December 31, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2026.
NEW BUSINESS AWARDS
Net bookings totaled $5.5 billion in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2. As a result, backlog at the end of the quarter was $49.6 billion, of which $11.1 billion was funded. Trailing-twelve-month book-to-bill of 1.1 resulted in year-over-year growth in total and funded backlog of 4% and 22%, respectively. Quarterly bookings included several key awards:

For information regarding adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS, see the related explanations and reconciliations to GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.
Leidos does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins or non-GAAP diluted EPS to net income margin or diluted EPS due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate projected net income margin or diluted EPS may vary significantly based on actual events, Leidos is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income margin and diluted EPS being materially less than what may be implied by projected adjusted EBITDA margins and non-GAAP diluted EPS.
CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION
Leidos management will discuss operations and financial results in an earnings conference call beginning at 8 A.M. eastern time on November 3, 2026. A live audio broadcast of the conference call along with a supplemental presentation will be available to the public through links on the Leidos Investor Relations website (http://ir.leidos.com).

Beginning fiscal 2026, we completed a realignment of our reporting structure, which resulted in the identification of four reportable segments: Intelligence & Digital, Health, Homeland and Defense. Additionally, we separately present the unallocable costs associated with corporate functions as Corporate. We commenced operating and reporting under the new organizational structure effective the first day of fiscal 2026. As a result of this change, prior year segment results have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure.
Intelligence & Digital
Intelligence & Digital revenues grew 1% year-over-year to $1.55 billion driven by recent contract awards and higher volumes and expanded scope across key Intelligence Community programs offset by reductions in certain federal civilian IT programs. Operating income margin was 11.1% compared to 9.2% in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP operating income margin was 11.5%, up from the prior year quarter. Profitability enhancements were driven by a mix of better program execution, including strong award fee scores and disciplined cost management across the segment.
Health
Health revenues of $1.07 billion decreased by 12% compared to the prior year quarter. Health operating income margin for the quarter was 22.5%, compared to 26.8% in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP operating income margin was 22.8%, compared to 27.3% in the prior year quarter. The declines in revenues and margins were driven by expected program shifts and reduced volumes on managed health services programs.
Homeland
Homeland revenues of $1.02 billion increased by 32% compared to the prior year quarter. Revenue growth was driven by strong demand for air traffic management and electric power distribution engineering solutions as well as $142 million from the acquisition of ENTRUST Solutions. Operating income margin for the quarter was 7.9%, compared to 6.5% in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP operating margin increased to 11.3% from 7.5% in the prior year quarter. Profitability enhancements reflect an increased mix of higher-margin commercial work and disciplined cost management across the segment.
Defense
Defense revenues of $992 million were up 3% compared to the prior year quarter led by increased demand for several defense technology areas including air defense, sensing, and C5ISR systems. Defense operating income margin for the quarter was 8.7%, compared to 8.2% in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP operating margin was 9.7%, compared to 9.8% in the prior year quarter.
LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED BACKLOG BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT
Backlog represents the revenues we expect to recognize under negotiated contracts and unissued task orders on sole source IDIQ contracts, to the extent we believe their execution and funding to be probable. Backlog does not include potential task orders expected to be awarded under multiple award IDIQ contracts.
Backlog value is based on management’s estimates about volume of services, availability of customer funding and other factors, and excludes contracts that are under protest. Estimated backlog comprises both funded and negotiated unfunded backlog. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by several factors, including modifications of contracts, non-exercise of options and foreign currency movements.
Funded backlog for contracts with the U.S. government represents the value on contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Funded backlog for contracts with non-U.S. government entities and commercial customers represents the estimated value on contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which Leidos is obligated to perform, less revenue previously recognized on the contracts. Unfunded backlog represents all remaining value on task orders that is not funded, including options, that we expect to recognize as well as expected future task orders under sole source IDIQ contracts.
The estimated value of backlog as of the dates presented was as follows:

LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Leidos uses and refers to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP diluted EPS, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP free cash flow conversion, which are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and, accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with Leidos’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide another representation of the results of operations and financial condition, including its ability to comply with financial covenants. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by financial analysts covering Leidos and its peers. The computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.
Organic revenues capture the revenue that is inherent in the underlying business excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures made within the prior year; it is computed as current revenues excluding revenues from acquisitions within the last 12 months and divestitures within the current and year-ago periods.
Non-GAAP operating income is computed by excluding the following discrete items from operating income:
Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs – Represents acquisition, integration, lease termination, severance and retention costs and asset markdowns related to acquisitions and restructuring activities.Amortization of acquired intangible assets – Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired intangible assets. We do not exclude the revenue associated with these acquired intangible assets from non-GAAP operating income.Asset impairment charges – Represents impairments of long-lived intangible assets and other assets.
Non-GAAP non operating income is computed by excluding the discrete items from operating income and the following discrete items from non operating income.
Settlement loss on pension plan buy-out – Represents the settlement loss in connection with the buy-out of our UK defined benefit pension plan.Acquisition related financing costs – Represents the cost associated with the termination of the bridge loan facility in connection with the acquisition of Entrust.
Non-GAAP operating margin is computed by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed by excluding the following items from income before income taxes: (i) discrete items as identified above; (ii) interest expense; (iii) interest income; (iv) depreciation expense; and (v) amortization of internally developed intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
Non-GAAP net income is computed by excluding the discrete items listed under non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP non operating income and their related tax impacts.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP free cash flow is computed by deducting expenditures for property, equipment and software from net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
Non-GAAP free cash flow conversion is computed by dividing non-GAAP free cash flow by non-GAAP net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders; operating cash flow conversion is computed by dividing net cash provided by operating activities by net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders.

MILFORD, Mass., Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026.
Overall Financial Results
The Company’s reported revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $1.767 billion, reflecting $871 million of organic revenue and $896 million of revenue from the acquired Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses.
Organic revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $871 million, compared to $800 million for the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 9% as reported and 10% in constant currency.
Revenue from Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions was $896 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $885 million on a prior year comparable basis.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a diluted earnings per share of $0.82 for the third quarter of 2026, compared to diluted EPS of $2.50 for the third quarter of 2025, reflecting acquisition-related purchase accounting charges, acquisition-related costs, and restructuring costs.
Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2026 grew 21% to $4.10, compared to $3.40 for the third quarter of 2025.
“Our team delivered exceptional results led by best-in-class consumables growth across both our Analytical Sciences and Biosciences divisions, as strong execution, new product innovation, and rising customer testing volume accelerated growth,” said Dr. Udit Batra, President & Chief Executive Officer, Waters Corporation. “LC-MS instrument growth also strengthened, growing double-digits in constant currency, driven by robust instrument replacement trends, idiosyncratic growth drivers across GLP-1s, PFAS and India generics, and we continued to outperform the market with our leading solutions for complex biologics.”
Dr. Batra continued, “Thanks to the hard work of our teams, we are delivering ahead of schedule on our synergy and integration commitments for our acquired businesses. With improving end market conditions and momentum accelerating across the combined company, we are raising our full year 2026 revenue guidance by $43 million at the midpoint and our fourth quarter guidance calls for double digit growth in both our organic and acquired businesses on a days adjusted basis.”

A description and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results appear in the tables below and can be found on the Company’s website www.waters.com in the Investor Relations section.
Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2026 Financial Guidance
Full-Year 2026 Financial Guidance
The Company is raising its full-year 2026 organic constant currency revenue growth guidance to the range of 9.1% to 9.7%. Including the effect of currency translation, full-year 2026 organic reported revenue is expected to be in the range of $3.429 billion to $3.447 billion.

Total Company reported revenue for full-year 2026 is expected to be in the range of $6.479 billion to $6.497 billion.
The Company is updating its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to the range of $14.60 to $14.70, which represents 11% to 12% year-over-year adjusted EPS growth and is 13% to 14% on a constant currency basis.

Starting 2027 Growth Framework
Management will provide the Company’s 2027 starting growth framework during its scheduled earnings conference call today at 8:00 a.m. ET, outlining how reshoring, synergies and AI-related demand drivers are expected to shape next year’s growth.
Announcing Acquisition of MOBILion Systems, Inc.
The Company also announced today that it has acquired MOBILion Systems, Inc. MOBILion is the pioneer of SLIM high-resolution ion mobility separation technology for complex molecular analysis, which separates molecules by size, shape and charge in milliseconds. The acquisition complements Waters’ industry-leading mass spectrometry portfolio and is expected to broaden the Company’s entry into the proteomics market. Additional details are available in a separate release issued earlier today.
Please refer to the tables below for a reconciliation of the projected GAAP to non-GAAP financial outlook for the full-year and fourth quarter. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of forward-looking presentations of adjusted EPS guidance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Such reconciliations cannot be prepared without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and unpredictability in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including acquisition-related amortization, acquisition and restructuring costs, as well as certain legal, advisory and tax costs, or other costs that may arise, which amounts could be significant and could have a material impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. All amounts, other than percentages and per share data, are presented in millions of dollars. Certain totals and percentages may not recalculate due to rounding.
Results for the acquired Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses (the “BDS Businesses”) for the prior year comparable period are the quarterly results for the Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business units for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as reported in Exhibit 99.1 of the current report on Form 8-K filed by Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BDX”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 6, 2025. This historical financial information reflects the results of operations of these businesses as they were historically managed by BDX in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, such historical financial information does not necessarily reflect what these businesses’ results of operations would have been had they operated as a part of Waters during the period presented, and does not reflect changes that have occurred since the consummation of the acquisition of these businesses by Waters, including, among other things, changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs or differences in accounting policies. For example, BDX provided certain services, such as legal, finance, information technology, human resources, and other infrastructure support to the BDS Businesses prior to their acquisition by Waters. Costs of these services were included in the BDS Businesses’ results of operations through allocations based upon a proportion of revenue or headcount as determined by BDX in conformity with GAAP. Such allocated costs may not be indicative or necessary if the BDS Businesses operated as a part of Waters during the period presented, nor are they necessarily representative of the costs that may be incurred in the future.

Waters Corporation will webcast its third quarter 2026 financial results conference call today, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To listen to the call and see the accompanying slide presentation, please visit www.waters.com, select “Investor Relations” under the “About Waters” section, navigate to “Events & Presentations,” and click on the “Webcast.” A replay will be available through at least December 1, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains financial measures, such as organic constant currency growth rates, constant currency growth rates, prior year comparable revenue, and adjusted earnings per diluted share, among others, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results, comparison to competitors’ operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.
Cautionary Statement
This release contains “forward-looking” statements regarding future results and events. For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “feels,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “suggests,” “appears,” “estimates,” “projects,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements within this release for a variety of reasons, including and without limitation, risks or uncertainties related to our acquisition of the Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses from BDX, including failure to realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition, including as a result of delay in integrating the BDS Businesses with the Company on the expected timeframe or at all, and the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and achieve revenue and cost synergies, the anticipated benefits of the MOBILion Systems, Inc. acquisition, anticipated progress on Waters’ research programs, development of new analytical instruments and associated software or consumables, manufacturing development and capabilities, our future financial and operational performance, future economic and market conditions, including our expectations about the growth rates of certain markets, our strategic initiatives, including our instrument replacement initiatives, our ability to respond and adapt to changing global dynamics, including the potential impacts of tariffs and supply chain challenges, our ability to retain and attract customers in various geographies and market segments, our market size and growth opportunities, our competitive positioning, projected costs, technological capabilities and plans, and objectives of management, and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Waters’ reports filed with the SEC. Such factors and others are discussed more fully in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC, which discussions are incorporated by reference in this release, as updated by the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements included in this release represent the Company’s estimates or views as of the date of this release and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s estimates or views as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

(a)
The Company believes that referring to comparable organic constant currency growth is a useful measure for evaluating the underlying performance of revenue. Organic constant currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in net revenue between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes during the current period and excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within twelve months of the acquisition date. See description of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.
(b)
The Company believes that referring to comparable revenue is a useful measure for evaluating the underlying performance of the business following the acquisition of Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions (“BDS”). Comparable revenue includes BDS revenue in both the current and prior year comparison periods. Current period revenue includes BDS revenue for the full quarter and prior year comparable revenue includes an estimate of BDS revenue for the equivalent prior year period. Growth rates are calculated using these comparable revenues.

(a)
The Company believes that referring to comparable organic constant currency growth is a useful measure for evaluating the underlying performance of revenue. Organic constant currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in net revenue between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes during the current period and excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within twelve months of the acquisition date. See description of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.
(b)
Waters Corporation revenue for the nine months ended October 3, 2026 includes the results of the BDS Business acquisition from date of acquisition February 9, 2026 through October 3, 2026.
(c)
The Company believes that referring to comparable revenue is a useful measure for evaluating the underlying performance of the business following the acquisition of Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions (“BDS”). Comparable revenue includes BDS revenue in both the current and prior year comparison periods. Current period revenue includes BDS revenue from February 9, 2026, the acquisition date, through quarter-end. Prior year comparable revenue includes an estimate of BDS revenue for the equivalent prior year period. Growth rates are calculated using these comparable revenues.

(a)
Selling & administrative expenses include purchased intangibles amortization and restructuring and other charges.
(b)
The purchased intangibles amortization and acquisition-related inventory and fixed asset fair value step-ups, which are non-cash expenses, were excluded to be consistent with how management evaluates the performance of its core business against historical operating results and the operating results of competitors over periods of time.
(c)
Restructuring costs and certain other items were excluded as the Company believes that the cost to consolidate operations, reduce overhead, and certain other income or expense items are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses of a specific function or geographic location of the Company.
(d)
ERP implementation and transformation costs represent costs related to the Company’s initiative to transition from its legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a new global ERP solution with a cloud-based infrastructure. These costs, which do not represent normal or future ongoing business expenses, are one-time, non-recurring costs related to the establishment of our new global ERP solution that were determined to be non-capitalizable in accordance with accounting standards.
(e)
Acquisition related costs include all incremental costs incurred to effect the business combination, such as advisory, legal, accounting, tax, valuation, other professional fees, and integration costs. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.
(f)
In connection with the Wyatt acquisition, the Company recognized a two-year retention bonus obligation that is contingent upon the employee’s providing future service and continued employment with Waters. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.
(g)
Financing costs relate to certain financing fees incurred by the Company to secure access to certain debt facilities in connection with the agreement Waters entered into to acquire the Biosciences and Diagnostics Solutions business of Becton, Dickinson & Company. The Company believes that these costs are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.
(h)
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using diluted weighted‑average shares outstanding of 93.1 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2026. While the Company reported a GAAP net loss for the period and therefore excluded potentially dilutive securities from its GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation, adjusted net income was positive for the period. Accordingly, potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share.

(a)
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flow from operations accounted for under GAAP less capital expenditures and software capitalizations plus or minus any unusual and non recurring items. Free cash flow is not a GAAP measurement and may not be comparable to free cash flow reported by other companies.
(b)
Includes an increase in net receivables of $17 million and $174 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2026, respectively, due from the BDS acquisition TSA provider related to the initial net cash settlement for activities occurring since the acquisition date.
(c)
During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the Company made retention payments under the Wyatt retention bonus program. The Company believes that these payments are not normal and do not represent future ongoing business expenses.
(d)
As part of the BDS acquisition, a portion of the total consideration paid was reflected as a deposit asset on the opening balance sheet, which is attributable to the Company’s present right to the future economic benefits of the business in those foreign jurisdictions where legal and beneficial title had not transferred to the Company as of February 9, 2026. Changes in the deposit asset are driven by changes in the underlying assets and liabilities in those foreign jurisdictions, which represent productive assets and therefore the cash payments (or cash receipts) resulting from the changes in these productive assets are classified as investing cash flows. The change in the deposit asset is primarily related to the collection of third party customer receivables that existed as of February 9, 2026. The Company considers cash collected from customers as a component of free cash flow as it represents amounts collected from its core operations.

(a)
Organic constant currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in net revenue between current and prior year periods, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates during the current period and excluding the impact of acquisitions made within twelve months of the acquisition close date. These amounts are estimated at the current foreign currency exchange rates and based on the forecasted geographical revenue in local currency, as well as an assessment of market conditions as of the date of this press release, and may differ significantly from actual results.
These forward-looking adjustment estimates do not reflect future gains and charges that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance.
