AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Waters (WAT)

Waters raises 2024 guidance after third-quarter sales rise 4% to $740 million

Positive Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Waters reported third-quarter 2024 sales of $740 million, up 4% from a year earlier, and GAAP diluted EPS of $2.71, up from $2.27. The company said sales and EPS exceeded its guidance and raised its full-year 2024 sales and non-GAAP EPS guidance, which matters to shareholders because it signals stronger expected results for the year.

Key points

  • Q3 2024 sales were $740 million, up 4% as reported from $712 million in Q3 2023.
  • GAAP diluted EPS was $2.71 vs. $2.27 a year earlier; non-GAAP EPS was $2.93 vs. $2.84.
  • Full-year 2024 non-GAAP EPS guidance raised to $11.67 to $11.87.
  • Fourth-quarter 2024 non-GAAP EPS is expected at $3.90 to $4.10.
