Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

Here’s a concise, data-driven snapshot of Waters Corp (NYSE: WAT) focused on the last four years of quarterly results. The bullets highlight trends that retail investors may care about, based on the provided income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.

  • Revenue has rebounded and trended higher over 2022–2025, with Q4 2025 revenue at 932.36 million, up from 858.51 million in Q4 2022 and higher than 2024 levels (872.71 million). This suggests a solid growth trajectory in the core business.
  • Gross margin has remained robust and relatively stable in the high-50s to low-60s percent range across recent quarters (roughly 58%–61%), signaling sustained profitability on product mix and pricing.
  • Operating cash flow has remained positive across recent periods, including a strong start to 2025 (Net Cash From Continuing Operating Activities around 259.6 million in Q1 2025) and continued positive cash generation through Q4 2025, supporting liquidity and potential for reinvestment or returns.
  • Debt levels show a deleveraging trend in 2025 versus 2024, with long-term debt amounts trending lower across the year (roughly moving from the 1.8B area down toward mid- to high-1.0B range), which can reduce interest burdens and financial risk if maintained.
  • R&D and SG&A expense levels have remained in line with revenue scale, with R&D typically in the mid-40s to mid-50s (millions) per quarter and SG&A broadly in the low-to-mid hundreds (for several quarters), indicating ongoing investment in growth and operations without dramatic cost swings.
  • Quarterly net income has been volatile but generally positive, with results clustered in the low-to-mid hundreds of millions; this pattern may reflect quarterly timing and operating pressures rather than a clear directional trend year over year.
  • Net income margin dipped slightly in Q4 2025 versus Q4 2024 (about 24% vs. roughly 27%), suggesting rising costs or mix effects that offset some of the revenue strength at the near term level.
  • Certain quarters show meaningful working-capital movements that pressure cash flow from operations, such as the large negative change in operating assets and liabilities in some periods (e.g., a substantial net decrease in operating working capital in Q4 2025), which can temporarily dampen cash generation.
  • A notably large treasury stock balance appears in some balance sheets (for example, a substantial negative treasury stock figure), which reduces reported equity and could reflect aggressive buybacks. This reduces book value per share and may raise questions about capital allocation priorities.
