Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, note receivables and unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets—Most of the Company’s long-term contracts and revenues from certain instrument rental and reagent agreements are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Billing often occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Contract assets are classified as either other current assets or other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $ million and $ million, respectively.

Contract liabilities—The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when revenue recognition is expected. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract liabilities were $ million and $ million, respectively of which $ million and $ million respectively, consist of the current portion of these contract liabilities. The increase in the contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily the result of new cash payments received, which was offset in part by satisfying performance obligations. Approximately $ million of the contract liability balance on December 31, 2023 was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

NanoString Technologies, Inc.

On May 6, 2024, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and rights associated with the business of NanoString Technologies, Inc. including the equity interests of the six subsidiaries (collectively, “NanoString”) for approximately $ million in cash consideration. The Company also assumed certain of its liabilities, including potential liabilities associated with ongoing litigations. See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies for more details on these litigations.

NanoString develops end-to-end research solutions in the spatial biology field and provides life-science research solutions for spatial transcriptomics and gene expression analysis which have been critical in enabling scientists and medical researchers to advance vital discovery, translational, and pre-clinical disease research. NanoString is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and will be integrated into BSI NANO Segment. NanoString forms part of the Company’s Bruker Spatial Biology division, which was formed to coordinate the Company’s spatial platforms across spatial genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics.

The Company has recorded the provisional determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the values recognized are subject to change until the Company finalizes the allocation of consideration transferred during the measurement period, which is no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability values that are different than the preliminary estimates. During the third quarter of 2024 the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments relating to the provisional amounts recorded for intangible assets and goodwill relating to updates to the Company’s valuation and other assumptions. These measurement period adjustments were not material and there was no material impact to the Company's consolidated statements of income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis is based on the forecasts used by the Company to price the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital, reflecting a market discount rate. Using a residual method, any excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company believes goodwill represents the future economic benefits of the acquisition that are not individually identifiable, such as synergies between the acquired assets and the Company’s existing spatial biology platforms.

% of the outstanding share capital of TecInvest S.à r.l, Eliman 1 S.à r.l,, and Eliman 2 S.à r.l, and their 100% interests in 18 subsidiaries (collectively “ELITech” or “ELITech Group”) for $ million of cash consideration before allowing for customary closing adjustments that occurred in the third quarter of 2024. The total consideration transferred was $ million net of cash acquired and customary closing adjustments. ELITechGroup’s subsidiaries are active in the molecular diagnostics, microbiology and biomedical testing equipment field and, as such, have been integrated into the BSI CALID Segment. ELITech’s primary locations include Turin in Italy, Signes in France, Logan in Utah and Bothell in Washington.

The Company has recorded a provisional determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available to us as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the values recognized are subject to change until the Company finalizes the allocation of the consideration transferred during the measurement period, which is no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability values that are different than the preliminary estimates. During the third quarter of 2024, as a result of the finalization of the contractual net working capital adjustment, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to the carrying amount of goodwill. This measurement period adjustment was not material. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis is based on the forecasts used by the Company to price the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital, reflecting a market discount rate. Using a residual method, any excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

The Company believes goodwill to represent future economic benefits of the acquisition that are not individually identifiable, primarily expected synergies from combining the businesses such as the elimination of surplus facilities and headcount, and the utilization of the Company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products and services.

The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired ranges from five to for customer relationships, ten to for developed technology, for tradename, and for a favorable executory contract.

Chemspeed Technologies AG

On March 6, 2024, the Company acquired % of the outstanding share capital of Chemspeed Technologies AG and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Chemspeed Technologies Inc., Chemspeed Technologies Ltd., and Chemspeed Technologies GmbH, (collectively “Chemspeed”) for cash consideration of million CHF (approximately $ million). Chemspeed provides automated laboratory research and development and quality control workflow solutions in a wide range of chemical research fields. Chemspeed is domiciled in Füllinsdorf, Switzerland and was integrated into the BSI BBIO Segment.

The Company has recorded the provisional determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the values recognized are subject to change until the Company finalizes the allocation of the consideration transferred during the measurement period, which is no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability values that are different than the preliminary estimates. During the second quarter of 2024 the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments relating the provisional amounts recorded for accounts receivable, inventory, deferred revenue, intangible assets and goodwill relating to updates to the Company’s valuation and other assumptions. These measurement period adjustments were not material and there was no impact to the Company's consolidated statements of income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis is based on the forecasts used by the Company to price the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital, reflecting a market discount rate. Using a residual method, any excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company believes goodwill represents the future economic benefits of the acquisition that are not individually identifiable. The Company expects significant synergies related to the acquired technology that will be integrated into Bruker’s existing platforms to offer a full set of lab workplace automated solutions.

NanoString was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, following NanoString and certain of its subsidiaries filing voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on February 4, 2024. Further, management considers that results of NanoString for the period from January 1, 2024, through May 6, 2024, are unlikely to be meaningful to users of these financial statements given the operations and financial results of NanoString were inherently materially impacted by the bankruptcy declaration. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 do not include the results of NanoString from January 1, 2024, through its acquisition date of May 6, 2024, as it is impractical to obtain meaningful and reliable historical financial statements after the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Zontal, Inc.

On May 4, 2023, Bruker Switzerland AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired % of the outstanding share capital of OSTHUS Beteiligungs GmbH and its wholly owned subsidiaries: OSTHUS Group GmbH, Zontal Inc., Zontal GmbH, and Zontal Data Information Technology (Dalian) co., Ltd, (collectively, the “Zontal Companies”) for EUR million (approximately $ million) with the potential for additional consideration of up to $ million if certain revenue and EBITDA targets are met through 2025. Zontal, Inc, is the main operating company. The Zontal Companies offer various software applications and integrations including data management (Informatics and SDMS), which enables customers to harmonize, preserve and reuse their data to generate efficiencies and automate workflows. The Zontal Companies are domiciled in Aachen, Germany, and are integrated into the BSI BioSpin Segment.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest holders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining % of the Zontal Companies at a contractually defined redemption value exercisable in 2027 and 2031. The rights (embedded derivative) to the option shares can be exercised at a discounted redemption value upon certain events related to post combination employment services. As the options are tied to continued employment, the Company classified the hybrid instrument (noncontrolling interest with an embedded derivative) as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The hybrid instrument associated with the options is initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition, the carrying value of the hybrid instrument is remeasured to fair value with changes recorded to stock-based compensation expense in proportion to the requisite service period vested.

The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired is eight years for technology, ten years for the trade name, and thirteen years for the customer relationships. The Company expects to amortize backlog through 2028.

% of the outstanding stock of Biognosys, AG (“Biognosys”), a privately held company, for cash consideration of CHF million (approximately $ million) less assumed liability for employee awards of CHF million (approximately $ million). Biognosys offers mass spectrometry based next-generation proteomics contract research services as well as proprietary proteomics software and laboratory consumables to support academic, pharma and biotech research and clinical development. Biognosys is domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland, and was integrated into the BSI CALID Segment.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest holders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining % of Biognosys for cash to the founders at a contractually defined redemption value exercisable beginning in 2028. The option price to acquire the remaining % equity interest will have a minimum redemption, or floor, value at each purchase or sell date, subject to post combination employment. The fair value at the acquisition date of these put option rights has been bifurcated into two financial instruments to separately account for the amounts attributable to the put option rights to sell the non-controlling interests on exercise dates at (1) above the minimum redemption value and (2) the minimum redemption value or floor value that is subject to post combination employment (the hybrid instrument) services.

The rights (embedded derivative) to the option shares can be sold at a minimum redemption value provided certain post combination employment services are met or at fair value, if above the floor, on the purchase or sell date. Therefore, the portion assigned to the minimum redemption value of option value of the hybrid instrument, which is tied to continued employment of the noncontrolling interest holders, was classified as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The hybrid instrument was initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date and shall be accreted over the post combination service period. The acquisition date fair value of the hybrid instrument which is an embedded derivative was not material.

The rights associated with the portion of the noncontrolling interest above the minimum redemption value are contingently redeemable at the option of the Company or the noncontrolling interest holders. As redemption of the rights is contingently redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling interest shareholders, the Company classifies the carrying amount of these rights in the mezzanine section on the consolidated balance sheet, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date and subsequently at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on fair value as defined in the purchase agreement and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings.

The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired is seven years for the technology and nine years for the customer relationships. The trade name was determined to have an indefinite life. The Company expects to amortize backlog through the end of 2025.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of all debt agreements.

2024 Term Loan Agreements

On March 29, 2024, the Company, as borrower, entered into (i) a term loan agreement (the “Three- and Five-Year Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acting as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, the other agents party thereto and the other banks or other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lenders and (ii) a term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, BofA Securities, Inc., acting as sole arranger and bookrunner (the “Seven-Year Term Loan Agreement” and together with the Three- and Five-Year Term Loan Agreement, the “Term Loan Agreements”), and the other banks or other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lenders.

The Three- and Five-Year Term Loan Agreement provides for a (i) CHF million three-year term loan facility and (ii) CHF million five-year term loan facility. The Seven-Year Term Loan Agreement provides for a CHF million seven-year term loan facility. Each term loan facility has a delayed draw component allowing for up to two borrowings under the relevant loan facility during the period from and including the effective date to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2024, and (ii) the date of termination of the commitments by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default as defined in the applicable Term Loan Agreement. The Company did not request any borrowings in connection with signing the Term Loan Agreements. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreements bear interest at a rate equal to (a) the Swiss Average Rate Overnight (), plus a margin ranging from (i) % to % in the case of the three- and five-year term loan facilities and (ii) % to % in the case of the seven-year term loan facilities, in each case, based on the Company’s leverage ratio, provided, however, that if , (ii) the announced by Bank of America, N.A., and (iii) %, plus a margin ranging from % to %, based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The RCA includes affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on liens, indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, asset sales, dividends, and transactions with affiliates. The financial covenants require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of to 1.00 (the “Stated Leverage Ratio” or “SLR”) and a minimum interest coverage of 2:50 to 1.00. In accordance with the terms of the RCA, the Company can elect to increase the maximum leverage ratio to to 1.00, the “Adjusted Leverage Ratio” or “ALR” provided that it shall (1) step down the ALR by x after two full fiscal quarters following the date of a Material Acquisition, and (2) return to the otherwise SLR after four full fiscal quarters following the date of such Material Acquisition, provided, that the Company may not elect to increase the maximum leverage ratio to the ALR unless there shall be at least one full fiscal quarter immediately prior to such election during which the SLR is in effect. The events of default include, among others, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency related events, certain ERISA events, material judgments, and the occurrence of a change of control.

Derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 because there is not an active market for each derivative contract. However, the inputs used to calculate the value of the instruments are obtained from active markets.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities which originated during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or the year ended December 31, 2023.

As part of the 2018 Mestrelab Research, S.L. (“Mestrelab”), 2022 PreOmics, 2023 Biognosys, 2023 Zontal, and 2023 MIRO acquisitions and certain other majority owned acquisitions, the Company entered into agreements with the noncontrolling interest holders that provide the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining ownerships for cash at contractually defined redemption values. These rights (embedded derivatives) can be adjusted upon certain events related to post combination employment services. As the options are tied to continued employment, the Company classified the hybrid instruments (noncontrolling interests with embedded derivatives) as long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to the acquisitions, the carrying value of the hybrid instruments are remeasured to fair value with changes recorded to stock-based compensation expense in proportion to the respective requisite service period vested. The Company classified the hybrid instruments as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Certain aspects of Pillar 2 took effect on January 1, 2024, while other aspects go into effect on January 1, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of Pillar 2 on its business, as the countries in which it operates are enacting legislation implementing Pillar 2. While many aspects of the application of Pillar 2 remain to be clarified, the Company does not expect Pillar 2 to materially impact its tax liability. The Company will continue to monitor developments in implementation as more countries enact the legislation.

In October 2023, the Company announced a restructuring plan associated with Bruker Cellular Analysis or “BCA” (formerly PhenomeX), a component of the NANO reportable segment, to optimize costs and to facilitate integration efforts. The restructuring plan includes a reduction in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities, and a planned change in future product offerings. The restructuring plan is expected to be completed during 2025.

In connection with the BCA restructuring plan, the Company recorded and accrued severance and termination charges of $ million and $ million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company made payments of $ and $ million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

As it relates to the consolidation of leased BCA facilities, the Company recorded an impairment charge against operating lease right of use assets of $ million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with additional impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not expect any material impairment or termination charges in connection with the expected modification or termination of active operating leases. Due to delays in consolidating facilities, certain inventories that are expiring or have expired will no longer be usable for the manufacture of products. The cost of scrapped inventories of $ million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was charged to product restructuring costs.

In April 2024, the Company announced a global restructuring program to reduce personnel costs affecting the BBIO, NANO and CALID Segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Any statements other than statements of historical fact contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:

•

the impact of supply chain challenges on our business and operations;

•

our working capital requirements and the sufficiency of our cash, borrowings and proceeds of indebtedness to fund our operations and investment activities;

•

our plans to make capital investments;

•

the impact of changes to tax and accounting rules and changes in law;

•

fluctuations in estimates impacting costs related to our self-funded health insurance plan;

•

our expectations regarding backlog and revenue;

•

our expectations and the impact of our restructuring initiatives;

•

the impact of our global IT transformation activities;

•

the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and changes in commodity prices; and

•

any other statements that address events or developments that the Company intends or believes will or may occur in the future.

Actual results may differ from those referred to in any forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the risks described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Although our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, we believe that describing revenue and expenses, excluding the effects of foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures, as well as certain other charges, net, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We rely internally on certain measures that are not calculated according to GAAP. These measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and free cash flow.

Our management believes that these financial measures provide relevant and useful information that is widely used by equity analysts, investors and competitors in our industry, as well as by our management, in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance and are useful measures to evaluate our continuing business. Additionally, management believes free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business as it indicates the amount of cash generated after additions to property, plant, and equipment which is available for, among other things, investments in our business, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and repayment of debt.

We regularly use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions. We also measure our employees and compensate them, in part, based on such non-GAAP measures and use this information for our planning and forecasting activities. These measures may also be useful to investors in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and it may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies.

Table of Contents

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

•

Non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, costs associated with our global information technology transition initiatives, and other non-operational costs (“non-GAAP adjustments”).

•

Non-GAAP gross profit margin as GAAP gross profit margin excluding the impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

•

Non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income excluding non-GAAP adjustments.

•

Non-GAAP operating margin as GAAP operating margin excluding the impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

•

Free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment.

OVERVIEW

We are a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable our customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular and cellular levels. Our corporate headquarters are located in Billerica, Massachusetts. We maintain major technical and manufacturing centers in Europe, Asia and North America and we have sales offices located throughout the world. Bruker is organized into four reportable segments: the Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) BioSpin Segment, the BSI Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science, In Vitro Diagnostics, Detection (CALID) Segment, the BSI NANO Segment and the Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST) Segment.

During the first nine months of 2024, Bruker acquired ELITech, Nanostring and Chemspeed. ELITech and Nanostring extend our capabilities in molecular diagnostics and life science analytical instruments. The Chemspeed acquisition brings to Bruker new capabilities in lab automation. The ELITech business will be integrated in the BSI CALD segment, the Nanostring acquisition will be integrated into the BSI NANO segment and the Chemspeed business will be integrated into the BSI BioSpin segment.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $121.6 million, or 16.4%, to $864.4 million, compared to $742.8 million for the comparable period in 2023. Approximately 12.5% of the revenue growth during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was attributed to acquisitions, and another 0.7% from favorable foreign exchange rate movements. Excluding the favorable effects of foreign exchange rate movements and our recent acquisitions, our organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, increased 3.1%. Revenue increases were driven by demand for our differentiated high-value scientific instruments and life science solutions compared to the same period in 2023.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $276.8 million, or 13.1%, to $2,386.8 million, compared to $2,110.0 million for the comparable period in 2023. Approximately 9.2% of the revenue growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was attributed to acquisitions, and was offset by a decrease of 0.1% from unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements. Excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange rate movements and our recent acquisitions, our organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, increased 4.0%. Revenue increases were driven by demand for our differentiated high-value scientific instruments and life science solutions compared to the same period in 2023.

Our gross profit margin decreased to 48.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 51.5% in the same period in 2023, as a result of product mix, acquisition related costs, increases in purchased intangible amortization related to acquisitions in the period, slightly offset by favorable foreign exchange rate movements.

Our gross profit margin decreased to 48.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 51.3% in the same period in 2023, as a result of product mix, acquisition related costs, increases in purchased intangible amortization and step up inventory costs related to acquisitions in the period, and unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements.

Our income tax provision in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $14.8 million and $30.8 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 26.8% and 25.8%, respectively. Our income tax provision in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $50.7 million and $80.6 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 33.6% and 26.6%, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional mix and net unfavorable discrete items.

Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $0.27, a decrease of $0.33 compared to $0.60 per share in the same period in 2023. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $0.67, a decrease of $0.83 compared to $1.50 per share in the same period in 2023. The decrease in diluted earnings per share in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was driven primarily by net income, which decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year related to mix of profitability from acquisitions and acquisition related expenses.

Our non-GAAP operating margin decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to acquisitions and unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements. We also increased sales and marketing activities and investments in our research and development capabilities, as compared to 2023.

We can experience quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our operating results as a result of various factors, some of which are outside our control, such as:

•

global general economic conditions including inflation and currency volatility, and geopolitical conditions, including conflicts in Russia and Ukraine, Israel, Palestine and surrounding areas, tensions between the United States and China, and tariff and trade policy changes;

•

potential energy shortages in Europe where we have significant operations and overall higher energy and transportation costs;

•

the time it takes between the date customer orders and deposits are received, systems are shipped and accepted by our customers and full payment is received;

•

the worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips, components and raw materials, such as copper;

•

the time it takes for us to receive critical materials to manufacture our products;

Table of Contents

•

costs related to and impacts from acquisitions of technology or business;

•

the time it takes for customers to construct or prepare their facilities for our products;

•

fluctuations in estimates impacting costs related to our self-funded health insurance plan; and

•

costs related to addressing any potential cybersecurity threats.

Several of these factors have in the past affected and continue to affect the amount and timing of revenue recognized on sales of our products and receipt of related payments and will likely continue to do so in the future. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular quarter may not necessarily be an indication of any future quarter’s operating performance.

Maintaining business continuity and service levels to our customers

Ensuring our ability to supply our enabling technologies and solutions and maintaining high service levels for our customers is a top priority for Bruker. We are continuing capital investments in production facilities for efficiencies and expansion. We continue to encounter supply chain risks associated with the global economy and increasing geopolitical tensions, including inflation, banking industry volatility, the threat of recession, financial liquidity, currency volatility or devaluation, and the worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips, components, and raw materials such as copper.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: revenue recognition; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other related charges; income taxes, including the recoverability of deferred tax assets; allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory reductions for excess and obsolete inventories; estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to measure the recoverability of long-lived assets; intangible assets and goodwill; expected future cash flows used to measure the recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets; warranty costs; derivative financial instruments; and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, current market and economic conditions, industry trends, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable and form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates and historical experience.

We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and those that require the most estimation and subjective judgment:

•

Revenue recognition;

•

Income taxes;

•

Goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and

•

Business combinations.

For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Note 1, Description of Business in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other charges, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024, consisted primarily of $9.0 million of professional fees incurred in connection with investigations as well as ongoing litigation related to the acquisitions of BCA and NanoString; and $6.8 million of acquisition-related charges which relate mainly to transaction costs on potential and consummated acquisitions, integration costs of newly acquired entities, and stock-based compensation expense related to the fair value changes of hybrid instruments.

Other charges, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023, consisted primarily of $3.7 million of restructuring costs for several smaller reorganizations, as well as $2.2 million of costs associated with our global information technology (“IT”) transformation activities that consist of a multi-year project aimed at updating and integrating our global enterprise resource planning and human resource information system, and $1.6 million of acquisition-related charges.

Operating Income

The following table presents operating income and operating margins on revenue by reportable segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,

Total operating income	$	68.1			7.9	%	$	124.5			16.8	%

(a)

Represents corporate costs and eliminations not allocated to the reportable segments. Unallocated costs include general and administrative expenses not directly incurred by the segments such as professional fees incurred for the quarterly reviews and annual audit of the consolidated financial statements, personnel costs of corporate accounting, finance, legal and IT resources, and other expense items.

Our operating income and operating income margin decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, due to higher revenue offset by profitability decrease related to acquisitions and an increase in purchase intangible amortization across the BSI BioSpin, BSI CALID and BSI NANO segments.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

The increase in interest and other income (expense), net in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to higher interest expense of $11.6 million due to increased borrowings, and impairment of certain minority investments of $4.4 million.

Income Tax Provision

The 2024 and 2023 effective tax rates were estimated using projected annual pre-tax income on a jurisdictional basis. Expected tax benefits, including tax credits and incentives, the impact of changes to valuation allowances and the effect of jurisdictional differences in statutory tax rates were also considered in the calculation.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were 26.8% and 25.8%, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional mix and net unfavorable discrete activities.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Investees, net of tax

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Investees, net of tax represents the Company's proportional share of the earnings or losses as reported by equity-method investees.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the net income recorded by our majority-owned subsidiaries.

Total revenue	$	2,386.8		$	2,110.0		$	276.8		13.1	%

(a)

Represents product and service revenue between reportable segments.

Revenue increases were driven by strong demand for our differentiated instruments and solutions as well as pricing improvements offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. The BSI BioSpin Segment revenue increase related primarily to the Chemspeed acquisition and strong demand for our instruments, especially Ghz-class systems. The BSI CALID Segment increase in revenues was driven primarily by the ELITechGroup acquisition. The BSI NANO Segment increase in revenue was driven by the BCA and NanoString and acquisition and strong demand in its industrial market. The BEST revenue increase was driven by strong revenue from Big Science projects.

Geographically in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our North American revenue grew 19.4% related to Bruker’s Nanostring acquisition, as well as the biopharma and academic & government markets, Asia Pacific revenue increased by 2.7%, and European revenue increased by 16.3% driven by the Chemspeed and ELITechGroup acquisitions when compared to the same period in 2023.

(a)

Our operating income and operating income margin decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, due to increased revenue offset by profitability decrease related to acquisitions, and increased purchased intangible amortization and step up inventory costs related to acquisitions in the period across the BSI BioSpin, BSI CALID and BSI NANO segments as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, remained flat compared to the same period in 2023. The higher interest expense of $32.3 million due to increased borrowings, and impairment of certain minority investments of $24.6 million, was offset by higher foreign currency exchange gains of $18.4 million which were driven primarily by a

foreign exchange realized gain recognized on a forward contract taken to minimize risks from fluctuations in the Euro currency related to the closing of our acquisition of ELITechGroup, the purchase price of which was denominated in Euro.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were 33.6% and 26.6%, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional mix and net unfavorable discrete activities.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Investees, net of tax

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the net income recorded by our majority-owned subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We anticipate that our existing cash and credit facilities will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future cash requirements could be affected by acquisitions that we may complete, purchases of our common stock or the payment of dividends in the future. Historically, we have financed our growth and liquidity needs through cash flow generation from operations and a combination of debt financings and issuances of common stock. In the future, there are no assurances that we will continue to generate cash flow from operations or that additional financing alternatives will be available to us, if required, or, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to us.

Effective in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company entered into a multi-currency notional cash pooling agreement with a financial institution to manage cash flow more efficiently and optimize liquidity. See Note 1, Description of Business in the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our notional cash pooling agreement.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $148.1 million and $488.3 million, respectively, of which $302.6 million and $398.4 million, respectively, related to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside of the United States in our foreign subsidiaries, most significantly in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. We aggregate all bank accounts that are subject to the notional pooling arrangement into a single balance on our consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, we were not in a net overdraft position with respect to the notional cash pooling arrangement.

The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods presented (in millions):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	61.3		$	144.6
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,696.7	)		(289.2	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		1,304.8			(133.5	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		(9.3	)		(3.7	)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(339.9	)	$	(281.8	)

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $230.5 million, partially offset by a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of $169.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $353.7 million, partially offset by a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures of $209.1 million. The decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash items was due to lower net income as result of increased costs from recent acquisitions, acquisition related costs, and increased purchase intangible amortization as compared to the same period in the prior year. The change in operating assets and liabilities, net of

acquisitions decreased primarily due to increased inventory to handle supply chain challenges and increase in net payables, offset by a net decrease in customer advances and deferred revenue generally from a softness in biopharma demand and increase in tax payments.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulted primarily from cash paid for acquisitions of $1,576.7 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $78.6 million, and minority investments of $46.0 million, offset by $3.7 million of proceeds from cross-currency swap agreements and $0.9 million of net proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted primarily from acquisitions and advances of $222.3 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $75.4 million, and strategic investments of $19.3 million, offset by $11.8 million of proceeds from sale of strategic investment and $10.9 million of net proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily from proceeds from long-term debt of $972.5 million, proceeds from our public offering of common stock of $403.0 million, and net proceeds from our revolving line of credit of $84.8 million, offset by the repayment of our 2012 Note Purchase Agreement of $100.0 million and the payment of dividends to common shareholders of $22.6 million. Increased borrowings were used primarily to fund our major acquisitions during the period. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily from cash paid for purchases of common stock under our repurchase program of $101.9 million and $22.1 million for the payment of dividends.

Credit Facilities

We have a total outstanding debt of $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2024, and a revolving credit facility that provides for up to $900.0 million of backup liquidity to finance working capital needs, refinance or reduce existing indebtedness, and for general corporate use. In addition, the facility provides for an uncommitted incremental facility whereby, under certain circumstances, we may, at our option, increase the amount of the revolving facility or incur term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $400 million.
