Current report

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we completed a reorganization of our reportable segments to streamline our organizational structure and further facilitate decision making, accountability, customer focus, and innovation. As a result of this reorganization, effective in the third quarter of 2026, our reportable segments consist of the following:

Current report

The BioSpin division, a newly formed division, which combines the former Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Preclinical Imaging, Biopharma and Applied Services, and Services and Lifecycle Support divisions, all of which were previously part of the former BSI BioSpin segment;

Current report

The SciY (formerly Integrated Data Solutions) division, previously part of the former BSI BioSpin segment;

Current report

The Chemspeed Technologies (“CST”) (formerly Automation) division, previously part of the former BSI BioSpin segment;

Current report

The Daltonics division (formerly Bruker Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry and Bruker Applied Mass Spectrometry), previously part of the former BSI CALID segment; and

Current report

The Optics division, previously part of the former BSI CALID segment.

Current report

BSI Microbiology and Infection Diagnostics (“BMID”), a newly formed segment, which consists of the Microbiology, Molecular Diagnostics, and Biomedical Systems divisions previously included within the former BSI CALID segment.

Current report

BSI NANO, for which no changes were made to the reportable segment structure.

Current report

BEST, for which no changes were made to the reportable segment structure.

Current report

Prior period segment information will be recast in future filings, beginning with our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, to conform to the new reportable segments. This change did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations as of June 30, 2026.

Current report

The overall increase in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was driven mostly by increased demand in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical, hospital and clinical, and semiconductor markets for our analytical instruments. Revenue from the BSI BioSpin, BSI NANO and BEST segments remained consistent during the three months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in revenue in the BSI CALID segment was driven primarily by the impact of recent acquisitions and increased revenue from academic and government research and biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets.

Current report

The increase in total gross profit and gross profit margin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was driven primarily by cost saving initiatives, positive net U.S. tariffs impact, and higher revenue volume, and for the three months ended June 30, 2026, also by favorable revenue mix.

Current report

Our selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat at 28.5% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 29.0% in the prior-year period, and at 28.9% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 28.6% in the same period in 2025. The impact of cost savings initiatives during the 2026 periods was offset by the impact of acquisitions, foreign exchange headwinds, and cost inflation.

Current report

Our research and development expenses decreased to 11.2% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 12.6% in the prior-year period, and decreased to 11.8% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 12.3% for the same period in 2025. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost saving initiatives.

Current report

We test goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently if impairment indicators arise at the reporting unit level, which is the operating segment or one level below an operating segment. On April 1, 2026, we completed the merger of the Bruker Cellular Analysis (“BCA”) business into the Bruker Spatial Biology (“BSB”) division. In connection with this merger, we performed goodwill impairment tests for the BSB reporting unit pre‑merger as of March 31, 2026, and for the newly combined BSB reporting unit post‑merger as of April 1, 2026. Based on the results of the post-merger goodwill impairment test, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36.5 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations within the BSI NANO segment, which represented the amount by which the carrying value of the post-merger BSB reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

Current report

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we reduced our forecasted revenue and cash flows for the CST (formerly Automation) reporting unit. As a result, we performed a goodwill impairment test for the CST reporting unit. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $98.4 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations within the BSI BioSpin segment, which represented the remaining goodwill balance of the CST reporting unit.

Current report

As described in Note 1, Description of Business, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, subsequent to June 30, 2026, we completed a reorganization of our reportable segments during the third quarter of 2026. This reorganization resulted in changes to the composition of certain of our reporting units and constitutes a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment analysis. We expect to complete the analysis during the third quarter with charges, if any, recorded in that period. Additionally, we will continue to monitor circumstances and uncertainties that may impact the carrying value of our reporting units, including the current macroeconomic conditions and the timing and quantity of future cash flows. If the fair value of any of our reporting units declines below the carrying value in future periods, additional goodwill impairment charges may be incurred. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further information on our goodwill impairment.

Current report

The decrease in operating income and operating income margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the goodwill impairment charges in our BSI BioSpin and BSI NANO segments as discussed in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and foreign exchange headwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar, partially offset by cost savings initiatives, positive net U.S. tariffs impact, and improved revenue performance.

Current report

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was not meaningful, due to our pretax losses, the geographic mix of earnings, and the resulting tax expense attributable to profitable foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was 21.9%. We recorded an income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, despite an operating net loss. The tax expense for the quarter was adversely affected by nondeductible goodwill impairment charges recorded in our BSB and CST reporting units, which created permanent tax differences. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Current report

During the second quarter of 2026, as a result of triggering events, we completed interim goodwill impairment tests on our BSB and CST reporting units. The analysis included updates to certain of our significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of these reporting units, including projected future cash flows and discount rates. These updated assumptions reflect the most recent operating results, market conditions, and management’s expectations regarding future performance of these businesses, including changes to our expectations of future revenues and operating margin. These changes in assumptions resulted in us recording goodwill impairment charges of $36.5 million and $98.4 million for the BSB and CST reporting units, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. After the impairment charges, the remaining goodwill balances for the BSB and CST reporting units were $174.5 million and $0, respectively.

Current report

The determination of fair value is highly sensitive to projected revenue growth, profitability, and other forecast assumptions, therefore, changes in these estimates, as well as changes to our discount rates, could materially affect the outcome of future impairment analyses on the BSB reporting unit, which could result in additional impairment changes, as the carrying value of the reporting unit now approximates its fair value. Management performed sensitivity analyses which indicated a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the discount rate, or an approximate 10% reduction in projected EBITDA, could each result in an estimated decline in the fair value of the BSB reporting unit of approximately 25%. These analyses are illustrative in nature and assume changes in individual assumptions in isolation. Accordingly, the analyses should not be viewed as a prediction of future results or the amount of a future impairment charge, if any. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional detail regarding the interim impairment tests.
Removed paragraphs (11)

Previous report

Non-GAAP gross profit remained relatively flat compared to the comparable period in the prior year as positive results of cost savings initiatives were offset by foreign exchange headwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar, lower revenue volume, and unfavorable sales mix.

Previous report

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025.

Previous report

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to 29.4% of total revenue, from 28.1% of total revenue for the comparable period in 2025. The increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to decline of CER and Organic revenue, increased costs associated with foreign exchange headwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the impact of cost savings initiatives.

Previous report

Our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to 12.3% of total revenue from 12.1% of total revenue for the comparable period in 2025. We commit substantial resources, efforts, and capital to internal and collaborative research and development projects in order to provide innovative products and solutions to our customers. Additionally, we have been able to gain access to research and development capabilities through acquisitions, acquiring the intellectual property, technology, and expertise of the acquired companies. The increase in research and development costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of increased costs associated with foreign exchange headwinds.

Previous report

The decrease in total operating income and operating income margin was primarily due to unfavorable revenue mix which negatively impacted gross margins, increased restructuring costs and impairment charges, and foreign exchange headwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar. In August 2025, we announced a cost savings initiative aimed at reducing annualized costs by approximately $100 million to $120 million by the end of 2026. This cost savings initiative was implemented with the intention to improve operating income and operating margins on a company-wide basis. The reductions affect all parts of our business including supply chain, manufacturing, commercial operations, administrative functions, and research and development.

Previous report

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 were 11.4% and 34.7%, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional mix and the impact of a nontaxable gain associated with the acquisition of Tofwerk ( refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for more information).

Previous report

We aggregate all bank accounts that are subject to our notional cash pooling arrangement into a single balance on our consolidated balance sheets. Our notional cash pooling arrangement is managed by a third-party financial institution and as of March 31, 2026, based on the reporting maintained by our financial institution, it was in a positive position.

Previous report

The increase in consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items was primarily driven by the non-cash impairment charges related to intangible assets and other long lived assets primarily in our BSI NANO segment as a result of our BSI NANO restructuring plan described in Note 10, Restructuring and Asset Impairments, an increase in write-down of demonstration and other inventories, and timing of income taxes payable. The change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, decreased primarily due to increased collections of receivables and an increase in inventory which was largely attributable to foreign currency movements.

Previous report

Pursuant to a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors and announced on May 12, 2023, we were permitted to purchase up to $500.0 million of shares of our common stock over a two-year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased a total of 200,731 shares at an aggregate cost of $10.0 million under the 2023 Repurchase Program. The 2023 Repurchase Program expired in May 2025 and has not been renewed.

Previous wording

The non-GAAP CER revenue decline during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was driven primarily by weaker demand in the academic and government research and industrial markets for our analytical instruments, partially offset by higher revenue from semiconductor and hospital and clinical markets as well as the current year impact of recent acquisitions.

Current wording

The non-GAAP organic revenue increase of 2.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2026, was driven primarily by stronger demand in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical, hospital and clinical, and semiconductor markets for our analytical instruments, and the current year impact of recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower revenue from academic and government research markets. The non-GAAP organic revenue decrease of 0.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was driven primarily by weaker demand in the academic and government research and industrial markets for our analytical instruments, partially offset by higher revenue from semiconductor and hospital and clinical markets as well as the current year impact of recent acquisitions.

Previous wording

The decrease in total gross profit and gross profit margin during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was driven primarily by foreign exchange headwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar, lower revenue volume, and unfavorable revenue mix, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.

Current wording

The increase in non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was driven primarily by cost savings initiatives, positive net U.S. tariffs impact, and favorable revenue volume and mix, partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds.

Previous wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our free cash flow increased by $8.0 million compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher operating cashflow and lower capital expenditures.

Current wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our free cash flow increased by $50.6 million compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher operating cash flow, primarily attributable to the timing of tax and vendor payments.

Previous wording

The overall revenue increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was driven mostly by foreign exchange tailwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar and the impact of recent acquisitions within the BSI CALID segment. The BSI BioSpin Segment decrease in revenue was primarily driven by weaker demand in the academic and government research market and GHz-class NMR system sales activity, with one GHz-class NMR system sold in Q1 2025 as compared to none in Q1 2026, partially offset by growth from Pre-Clinical Imaging, services, and software. The BSI CALID Segment revenue increase was driven by the impact of recent acquisitions, including Tofwerk AG (“Tofwerk”), as well as increased volumes from the Optics division and their applied market Security Detection business. BSI Nano Segment revenue decline was driven by weaker demand in the academic and government research and industrial markets for our analytical instruments partially offset by higher revenue from the semiconductor market. The BEST revenue increase was driven mainly by the low temperature superconductor business and higher revenue from the magnetic resonance imaging market.

The overall increase in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period for 2025, was driven mostly by foreign exchange tailwinds from a declining U.S. Dollar and the impact of recent acquisitions within the BSI CALID segment. Revenue from the BSI BioSpin and BSI NANO segments remained consistent during the six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025.The BSI CALID segment revenue increase was driven by the impact of recent acquisitions, increased revenue from academic and government research and biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets, as well as the Optics division and their applied market Security Detection business. The BEST revenue increase was driven primarily by growth in the superconductor business and higher revenue related to fusion energy and high-energy physics technologies.

Previous wording

Geographically during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, our North American revenue decreased by 0.2% and European revenue increased by 12.8%, while Asia Pacific revenue decreased by 10.3% mostly driven by China.

Current wording

Geographically during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, our North American revenue increased by 10.7%, European revenue increased by 13.3%, and Asia Pacific revenue decreased by 10.2%. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our North American revenue increased by 5.3%, European revenue increased by 13.0%, and Asia Pacific revenue decreased by 10.3%.

Previous wording

Other charges, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to $26.2 million compared to $36.9 million for the comparable period in 2025. The year over year decrease was primarily due to the acquisition-related litigation charges of $18.6 million in 2025 with no comparable charges in 2026, offset by an increase in long-lived asset impairment charges of $12.2 million as a result of the restructuring programs described in Note 10, Restructuring and Asset Impairments. Refer to Note 9, Other Charges, Netfor more details on our other charges, net costs.

Current wording

Other charges, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026, remained consistent at $13.2 million compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other charges, net decreased to $39.4 million compared to $51.3 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to a $20.7 million decrease in acquisition-related litigation charges driven by the settlement of prior year litigation matters, while no new significant acquisition-related litigation was incurred in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in long-lived asset impairment charges of $13.7 million primarily related to impairments of right of use assets and fixed assets in connection with the BSI NANO restructuring plan as described in Note 10, Restructuring and Asset Impairments, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous wording

Early in 2025, the U.S. government imposed or increased tariffs on certain foreign imports into the United States from key trading partners, including Germany and Switzerland. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), and the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund such tariffs, subject to potential appeal. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched an online portal for submitting IEEPA tariff refund requests. We have submitted Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) declarations seeking refunds for tariffs paid during fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026; however, all claims remain subject to CBP review and validation. Because the timing and approval of any refunds are uncertain and contingent upon further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments, no receivable has been recognized as of March 31, 2026. Any approved refunds, if received, could be material.

We recognize tariff refunds upon approval by the IEEPA and record them as a reduction in the costs of product revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period. As of June 30, 2026, the majority of our tariff refund requests had been approved.

Previous wording

Various other tariff programs remain in effect. In February 2026 the U.S. imposed new temporary tariff measures currently scheduled to remain in place through July 2026 and it may impose additional tariffs or extend or expand existing programs. These tariff measures and the related uncertainty in global trade markets have contributed to lower‑than‑anticipated bookings, revenues, and profitability, and may continue to adversely affect our business for the foreseeable future. The magnitude and duration of these impacts are difficult to predict, as trade policies may change without notice. We continue to monitor these developments and assess their potential impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

The increase in interest and other income (expense), net in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the gain on remeasurement of the previously held equity interest in Tofwerk of $12.2 million. On January 6, 2026, we acquired the remaining 60.0% interest in Tofwerk and remeasured to fair value the previously held 40.0% interest which was accounted for under the equity method.

The increase in interest and other income (expense), net in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the unrealized gain on equity interest investment of $27.6 million recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as due to the gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest in Tofwerk of $12.2 million recognized during the six month ended June 30, 2026.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar Two Framework Model Rules, which provides guidance for a global minimum tax. Various countries have either enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to implement this framework. Our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflected currently enacted legislation and guidance related to the model rules. This enacted legislation and guidance did not have a material impact on our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company continues to monitor the countries in which it operates as they enact legislation implementing Pillar Two.

We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents and credit facilities will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs, and other liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future under the currently anticipated business conditions and macroeconomic environment. As of March 31, 2026, we had $133.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $74.0 million was held in our foreign subsidiaries. The Company has access to the vast majority of its cash and cash equivalent balances held outside of the United States without incurring significant additional tax costs and therefore considers them available for use globally. The amount of funds held in the United States can fluctuate due to the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business and due to other reasons, such as acquisitions and borrowings. As part of our ongoing liquidity assessments, we regularly monitor the mix of domestic and foreign cash flows (both inflows and outflows). Our future cash requirements could be affected by acquisitions that we may complete, or the payment of common and preferred dividends in the future. Historically, we have used the liquidity generated from cash flow from operations, debt financings, and issuances of common and preferred stock to finance our growth and operating needs. In the future, there are no assurances that we will continue to generate cash flow from operations, that additional financing alternatives will be available to us, if required, or, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to us.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $95.4 million, and a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of $(24.2) million. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $55.7 million, and a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of $9.3 million.

Current wording

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $214.9 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of ($221.1) million. The increase in consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items was driven primarily by the goodwill impairment charges in our BSI NANO segment related to the impairment of our Bruker Spatial Biology reporting unit and in our BSI BioSpin segment related to the impairment of our Chemspeed Technologies (formerly Automation) reporting unit as described in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, decreased primarily due to legal settlement payments as described in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and unfavorable changes in working capital, primarily related to lower collections of accounts receivable, partially offset by the timing of taxes payable.

During the first quarter of 2026, we repaid in full the outstanding balance in our 2024 term loan due in 2029. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we raised proceeds via the issuance of equity in the form of the issuance of the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to pay down some of our outstanding debt obligations. As a result of such issuance, we also have certain obligations with respect to discretionary dividends to our preferred shareholders in addition to the discretionary dividends historically paid to our common shareholders.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily from repayments of long-term debt of $183.6 million and cash paid for dividends to our preferred and common shareholders of $37.1 million, offset by net proceeds from our 2024 Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of $170.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance under our 2024 Term Loan due in 2029 during the first quarter of 2026, and dividend payments to preferred shareholders related to the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the third quarter of 2025.
