statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (&#147;PCAOB&#148;) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Supplemental information </B></P>

audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the
information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of
Labor&#146;s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial

the Waters Employee Investment Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan&#146;s provisions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan, effective August&nbsp;19, 1994, was
created to provide an opportunity for eligible employees of Waters Technologies Corporation (&#147;Waters&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) and any eligible legally affiliated company to provide for their future financial security through
participation in a systematic savings program to which each participating employer (the &#147;Employer&#148;) also contributes. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of the Company and its affiliates who work
in the United States. The Plan is designed to take advantage of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), which allow a participant to elect to reduce taxable compensation (subject to certain limitations)
with the amount of such reduction being contributed to the Plan by the Employer on behalf of the electing participant. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#147;ERISA&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan is a Safe Harbor Plan, which provides for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">catch-up</FONT> contributions by participants who have attained age 50
before the close of the Plan year, to satisfy the alternative methods of meeting nondiscrimination requirements, and redefine employer matching contributions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Eligibility </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Employees are eligible to participate and
are automatically enrolled in the Plan immediately upon their date of hire or rehire. Unless the employee elects to suspend automatic contributions, the automatic participation will commence at 3% of annual compensation and increase 1% each year
until contributions reach 6% of annual compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Contributions </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All participants may elect to make <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> Roth 401(k) contributions through the Plan in addition to pretax
contributions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to certain limitations, participants may elect to voluntarily contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions from 1% to 60% of
their annual compensation on a pretax basis and/or on an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> basis as a Roth 401(k) contribution. Participants who have attained age 50, or who will reach age 50 during the year, may elect to make an
additional pretax contribution or Roth 401(k) contribution, or both, to the Plan of up to $6,500 for 2021, provided their regular pretax and Roth 401(k) contributions reach either the Plan&#146;s limit of 30% of eligible earnings or the Internal
Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) dollar limit of $19,500 for 2021. As of December&nbsp;31, 2021, participants had various investment options in which to direct the investment of their contributions and Company contributions. Each investment option
offers a different level of risk and expected rate of return. All contributions are subject to the limitations of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For contribution purposes,
compensation includes salary, lump sum cash payments of merit pay increases, commissions, overtime pay, shift differentials, short-term disability pay, unused vacation pay, bonuses paid under the performance bonus plan and annual incentive bonuses
or certain other designated incentive plans. The Employer will match 100% of the first 6% of compensation contributed by the participant to the Plan on a combined pretax and Roth 401(k) basis. The Employer matching contribution is effective
immediately upon date of eligibility and follows the investment elections selected by the participant for employee contributions. Contributions and compensation considered for matching contribution purposes are subject to certain limitations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participants direct their elective contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan, which include a self-directed brokerage account feature
and a Company stock fund, and can change their investments options on a daily basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Due to the uncertain global business environment related to the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, the Company&#146;s management implemented a number of temporary cost reduction initiatives in 2020. Effective May&nbsp;22, 2020, the Plan was amended to suspend the Employer matching contributions
for the remainder of 2020. During this time, participants were able to continue to make salary deferral contributions to the Plan.&nbsp;The Company&#146;s matching contribution was reinstated on January&nbsp;1, 2021. </P>

earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses to the extent that they are paid by the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are charged directly against participants&#146; accounts. Allocations of earnings and expenses are

or more frequent installments over a period not to extend beyond the life expectancy of the participant. The Plan also allows participants who are actively employed and have attained the age of 59 1/2 to withdraw all or any portion of their account
balance for any reason. The Plan also provides for certain hardship withdrawals upon approval by the Plan administrator, a representative of the Company&#146;s management. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the &#147;CARES Act&#148;), which was signed into law on March&nbsp;27, 2020, among other things,
included several relief provisions available <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">to&nbsp;tax-qualified&nbsp;retirement</FONT> plans and their participants. The Plan&#146;s management evaluated the relief provisions available to Plan participants under
the CARES Act and implemented a provision that allowed for special <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> withdrawals permitting eligible Plan participants to request penalty-free distributions of up to $100,000 for qualifying
coronavirus-related reasons. The ability to request <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> related distributions under the CARES Act ceased as of December&nbsp;31, 2020. </P>

including loan maintenance, brokerage account fees, Waters Corporation Stock Fund (&#147;Stock Fund&#148;) administrative fees and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-service</FONT> withdrawal fees, are paid by the participants. Other expenses, such
as legal, audit and consulting fees, incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company. A portion of the operating expenses and management fees is returned to the Plan on revenue sharing arrangements. The revenue sharing amounts
received are recorded as other income in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Notes Receivable from Participants </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participants in the Plan may borrow from their account balance, with a maximum of two loans permitted per participant. A participant may borrow an amount
greater than or equal to $1,000 but not to exceed the lesser of (a) $50,000 minus the largest outstanding loan balance in the twelve months preceding the loan request or (b) 50% of the total account balance minus current outstanding loan balances.
Principal and interest are repaid through payroll deductions for a period of up to five years, except for loans made for purchasing or constructing a principal residence for which the repayment term may be up to 20 years. The loans bear interest at
a fixed rate equal to the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar quarter in which the loan is funded and are collateralized by the participant&#146;s account balances. At December&nbsp;31, 2021, interest rates on outstanding loans
ranged from 3.25% to 6.25%. </P>

are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (&#147;U.S. GAAP&#148;). Benefits payable at year end are not accrued as they are considered to be a
component of net assets available for benefits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Investment Transactions and Investment Income </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan&#146;s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of common stock and mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset
value of the shares held by the Plan at year end. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ex-dividend</FONT> date. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis as earned.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Waters Corporation common stock is traded on a national securities exchange and is valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the year. The common stock was valued at $372.60 and $247.42 per share at December&nbsp;31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments that consists of the
realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Contributions </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Employer and participant contributions are recorded in the period in which payroll deductions are made from the participant&#146;s compensation. </P>

paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Notes Receivable from Participants </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notes
receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative
expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December&nbsp;31, 2021 or 2020. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments, the Plan administrator will deem the participant loan to be a
distribution in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and the participant&#146;s account balance will be reduced at the earliest permitted date as outlined in the Plan document. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Use of Estimates </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preparation of the Plan&#146;s
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Plan administrator to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the
changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risks and Uncertainties </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan provides for various
investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of
risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants&#146; account balances
and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. </P>

future developments that are difficult to assess or predict, and the potential impact to the Plan&#146;s net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits is uncertain. </P>

accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, the Plan&#146;s assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December&nbsp;31, 2021 and 2020. Fair values determined by Level&nbsp;1 inputs utilize observable data,
such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair values determined by Level&nbsp;2 inputs utilize observable data points other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined by
Level&nbsp;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. If the Plan were to change its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and
liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it would need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Plan would recognize these
transfers at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. During the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2021 and 2020, there were no transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value based on the quoted net asset value of shares held by
the Plan on the last business day of the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investments under the self-directed brokerage account are stated at fair value based on the quoted market
prices on the last business day of the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investments in common collective trusts are stated at fair value based on the published net asset value
(&#147;NAV&#148;) of its underlying investments at year end. While participant transactions for common collective trusts take place daily, certain events, such as the premature termination of the contract by the Plan or the termination of the Plan,
would require a redemption notice period of up to twelve months. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of the
net realizable value or reflective of future fair value. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the
fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>4&nbsp;Related-Party
Transactions </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds or collective trusts managed by an affiliate of Fidelity, a subsidiary of which is
the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">party-in-interest</FONT></FONT> transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to Fidelity or its affiliates for
administrative services amounted to $539,933 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021. Transactions with respect to participant loans and the Stock Fund also qualify as
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">party-in-interest</FONT></FONT> transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan has investments in shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock through the Stock Fund. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021, the Plan purchased units in the Stock Fund in the amount of $2,068,229; sold units in the Stock Fund in the amount of $5,419,929; and had net
investment appreciation of $31,456,424, administrative expenses of $59,834 and interest and dividend income of $276. The total value of the Plan&#146;s investment in the Stock Fund was $93,109,446 and $65,064,279 at December&nbsp;31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain operating expenses and management fees are returned to the Plan based on revenue sharing arrangements with Fidelity. As Fidelity is
the trustee and custodian of the Plan, these transactions qualify as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">party-in-interest</FONT></FONT> transactions. The revenue sharing amounts received are recorded as other income in
the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. The Plan received $944,261 in revenue sharing payments for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021, which was used to offset $539,933 of administrative expenses incurred by the Plan. </P>

expects to continue the Plan indefinitely; however, it has the right to modify, amend or terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of the Code and ERISA. No such modification or amendment, however, shall have the effect of
retroactively changing or depriving participants or beneficiaries of rights already accrued under the Plan. If the Plan is terminated, participants will remain 100% vested in their account balances. </P>

applicable sections of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended since the effective date of the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan&#146;s financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. GAAP requires Plan
management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS.
The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December&nbsp;31, 2021, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. </P>
