Waters Corporation cash flow reconciliation, Jan 1, 2026 through Jul 4, 2026One connected Sankey reconciles operating, investing and financing net cash flows through a shared cash pool, from beginning cash to ending cash. Ribbons flow left to right on one dollar scale. Activity totals are dark gray; beginning and ending cash are blue. Cash basis for beginning and ending balances and net cash change: Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Intermediate calculation bars are lighter gray. Calculated remaining financing cash flows are purple; remaining operating and investing bundles are gray. Their underlying inflows and outflows are not separately identified. Net income is green for profit and red for loss. Identified asset purchases, sales and maturities are blue in either cash direction. Purple identifies capital transactions such as borrowing, repayments, share issuance and dividends. Free cash flow is a separate comparison, not an added cash flow.

Chart connections

  • Beginning cash plus operating, investing and financing cash flows plus the exchange-rate effect equals ending cash. Negative amounts reduce cash.
  • Financing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
  • Investing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
  • Operating reconciliation adjustments are not all independent cash receipts.
  • Net loss −$208.00M + net operating adjustments $406.00M = operating cash +$198.00M. The loss reduces the earnings basis of the reconciliation; it is not a cash payment. The signed loss remains a deduction at the operating reconciliation junction.
  • Each activity has one net cash bar connected to the shared cash pool. Positive activity totals enter the pool; negative activity totals leave the pool to fund that activity's net payments. The central pool does not assign a particular funding source to a particular payment.
  • The intermediate calculation bars include both sides of the displayed activity breakdowns; they are not additional cash flows.
  • Operating cash flow minus cash spent on productive assets equals free cash flow: 198,000,000 US dollars minus 87,000,000 US dollars equals 111,000,000 US dollars.
