<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Milford, Massachusetts, April&nbsp;29, 2014 - Waters Corporation (NYSE/WAT) reported today first quarter 2014 sales of $431 million, essentially flat versus
sales of $430 million in the first quarter of 2013. In the quarter, the effect of foreign currency translation was neutral to sales growth. On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share (E.P.S.) for the first quarter of 2014 were $0.82 compared to
$1.39 for the first quarter of 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, including the adjustments in the attached reconciliation, E.P.S. were down 14% to $0.92 compared to $1.07 in the prior year quarter. A description and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP
E.P.S. is attached and can be found on the Company&#146;s website at <U>http://www.waters.com</U> under the caption Investors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Commenting on the quarter,
Douglas A. Berthiaume, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#147;Sales in the quarter were below our expectations due primarily to a combination of slower growth in Asia and delays in the release of capital budgets, most
significantly in the United States. Foreign currency translation and a higher operating tax rate negatively affected E.P.S in comparison to the 2013 first quarter&#146;s results.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As communicated in a prior press release, Waters Corporation will webcast its first quarter 2014 financial results conference call this morning,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This release may contain &#147;forward-looking&#148; 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, &#147;feels&#148;, &#147;believes&#148;, &#147;anticipates&#148;, &#147;plans&#148;, &#147;expects&#148;, &#147;intends&#148;,
&#147;suggests&#148;, &#147;appears&#148;, &#147;estimates&#148;, &#147;projects&#148;, and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company&#146;s actual future results
may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements within this release for a variety of reasons, including and without limitation, uncertainties relating to organizational/leadership transition plans; the impact on
demand among the Company&#146;s various market sectors from economic, sovereign and political uncertainties; fluctuations in expenditures by the Company&#146;s customers, in particular large pharmaceutical companies; introduction of competing
products by other companies and loss of market share; pressures on prices from competitors and/or customers; regulatory, economic and competitive obstacles to new product introductions; other changes in demand from the effect of mergers and
acquisitions by the Company&#146;s customers; increased regulatory burdens as the Company&#146;s business evolves, especially with respect to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, among others; shifts in
taxable income in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates; the outcome of tax examinations or changes in respective country legislation affecting the Company&#146;s effective tax rate; the ability to access capital, maintain liquidity and
service our debt in volatile market conditions, particularly in the U.S., as a large portion of the Company&#146;s cash is held and operating cash flows are generated outside the U.S.; environmental and logistical obstacles affecting the
distribution of products; risks associated with lawsuits and other legal actions, particularly involving claims for infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights; and foreign exchange rate fluctuations potentially affecting
translation of the Company&#146;s future non-U.S. operating results. Such factors and others are discussed more fully in the sections entitled &#147;Forward-Looking Statements&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; of the Company&#146;s annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which &#147;Forward-Looking Statements&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; discussions are incorporated by reference in this release. The
forward-looking statements included in this release represent the Company&#146;s estimates or views as of the date of this release report and should not be relied upon as representing the Company&#146;s estimates or views as of any date subsequent
to the date of this release. </P>
