This new guidance clarifies the accounting treatment of whether the settlement of convertible debt should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 – Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table and disaggregation of information related to income taxes paid as presented on the Cash Flow Statement.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed various acquisitions that collectively complement the product offerings of the Company’s existing businesses.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, unless otherwise noted, is consistent with that described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesof the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2025 Acquisitions

The following table reflects the consideration transferred and the allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2025 acquisitions (in millions):

The table below summarizes information on the Recipe Chemicals + Instruments GmbH (“Recipe”) acquisition:

Customer relationships and technology were the most significant identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair value of the assets is estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships and a relief from royalty method for technology. The following table presents estimated useful life for the acquired intangible assets for the Recipe acquisition:

The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired for the Company’s other acquisitions is five to twelve years for the technology.

The Company believes goodwill to represent future economic benefits of the acquisitions 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 Company does not expect the amounts allocated to goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, and liabilities assumed related to Recipe and certain other acquisitions which may result in adjustments to these assets and liabilities, including goodwill.

Results of operations for 2025 acquired businesses

Results from the acquisitions included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the acquisition dates through June 30, 2025 include revenues of $3.8 million and pre-tax losses totaling $0.8 million. The tax effect of pre-tax losses incurred will be included in the related jurisdictional tax returns of its subsidiaries.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information for 2025 acquired businesses

The consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 would not be materially different had the 2025 acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2025. As such, additional pro forma information combining the results of operations of the Company and these acquisitions have not been included in these consolidated financial statements.

2024 Acquisitions

The following table reflects the consideration transferred and the allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2024 acquisitions (in millions):

Acquisitions material to the Company’s financial statements

The table below summarizes information on acquisitions material to the Company’s financial statements in 2024:

In the acquisitions above, customer relationships and technology intangible assets were the most significant identifiable assets acquired. The fair value of the intangible assets is estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships and a relief from royalty method for technology. For the acquisition of ELITechGroup, the cash flow projections for the customer relationships included significant judgments and assumptions related to customer attrition rates, contributory asset charges, and discount rates and the cash flow projections for the technology included significant judgments and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates, obsolescence rates, and discount rates.

The following table presents estimated useful life for the acquired intangible assets as determined by the Company:

a)

The Company expects to amortize backlog through the first quarter of 2026.

The Company believes goodwill to represent future economic benefits of the acquisitions 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 Company does not expect the amounts allocated to goodwill for ELITechGroup or Chemspeed to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company expects the amounts allocated to goodwill for NanoString to be deductible for tax purposes.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company finalized its determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Chemspeed acquisition. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company finalized its determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the NanoString and ELITechGroup acquisitions with no further adjustments in addition to the immaterial adjustments recorded in prior quarters.

The following table presents estimated useful life for the acquired intangible assets for the material other acquisitions in 2024 as determined by the Company:

a)

The Company expects to amortize backlog through the fourth quarter of 2027.

The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired for the Company’s other acquisitions isseven toeleven years for the technology, eleven tofifteen for customer relationships andtwelve years for tradenames. The fair values of the trade name and technology of certain acquisitions were not material and were expensed in full during 2024.

The Company believes goodwill to represent future economic benefits of the acquisitions 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 Company does not expect the amounts allocated to goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has finalized its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Spectral Instruments Imaging LLC and Nion, LLC acquisitions within the measurement period, and no further material adjustments were be made.

Results of operations for 2024 acquired businesses

Results from the acquisitions included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the acquisition dates through December 31, 2024 include revenues of $259.5 million and pre-tax losses totaling $108.0 million. Pre-tax losses include purchased intangible amortization and step up inventory costs related to the acquisitions as well as acquisition-related expenses, which are recorded within Other charges, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-related expenses primarily relate to pre-close services, legal and professional services associated with integration activities, and other transaction costs. The tax effect of pre-tax losses incurred will be included in the related jurisdictional tax returns of its subsidiaries.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined GAAP revenue and net income (loss) results of the Company as though the material acquisitions of ELITechGroup and Chemspeed had been completed on January 1, 2024 (in millions):

The revenue and net income (loss) results for all 2024 acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2025.

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 October 1, 2023, 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 does not include the results of NanoString from January 1, 2024, through its acquisition date of May 6, 2024, as the historical financial statements after the quarter ended September 30, 2023 are not meaningful.

The pro forma adjustments include the following (in millions):

The supplemental pro forma financial information presented above is for illustrative purposes only and does not include the pro forma adjustments that would be required under Article 11 of Regulation S-X for pro forma financial information. This supplemental pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the NanoString, ELITechGroup, and Chemspeed acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2024. No effect has been given for synergies, if any, that may have been achieved through the acquisitions nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

Minority and Equity-method Investments

As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of equity investments without readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative is $38.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed four minority investments. The following table reflects the consideration transferred (in millions):

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative was $35.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed several minority investments. The following table reflects the consideration transferred (in millions):

On July 31, 2024, the Company acquired a minority equity interest in NovAliX a preclinical contract research organization specializing in expert drug discovery services, headquartered in Strasbourg, France. The Company obtained a 30% interest in NovAliX’s common stock in exchange for consideration of EUR 31.5 million (approximately $34.1 million). The Company accounts for its investment in NovAliX using the equity-method of accounting. Concurrent with the transaction, the Company entered into an agreement with the remaining shareholders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the shareholders with the right to sell, the remaining ownership of NovAliX for cash at a contractually defined redemption value exercisable beginning in 2029 and ending in 2034. The Company recognized a liability, classified in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, related to the potential obligation to acquire the remaining equity interests if the purchase option is exercised, estimated at EUR 14.4 million (approximately $16.0 million) using the discounted cash flow method.

Refer to Note 11, Interest and other income (expense), net, for information on impairment charges, to write down the carrying value of certain minority investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill (in millions):

Intangible Assets

The following is a summary of intangible assets (in millions):

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded amortization expense of$31.5 million and$25.1 million, respectively, related to intangible assets subject to amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded amortization expense of$58.8 million and$41.3 million, respectively, related to intangible assets subject to amortization.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets to determine if there have been any triggering events that could indicate an impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the quoted market price, if available or the estimated fair value of those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value, and are not recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Based on the results of these analyses, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized impairment charges of $6.8 million and $7.2 million respectively, to write off certain intangible assets. There wereno such intangible assets impairment charges recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current macroeconomic conditions and uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, changes to trade and tariff policies, customs duties imposed or that may be imposed by the new presidential administration in the U.S., geopolitical tensions and possible expansion of current conflicts, and increasing potential of conflict involving countries in Asia that are significant to the Company’s supply chain operations, such as Taiwan and China, could adversely impact the fair value of our reporting units and cause the Company to consider whether goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets may require an impairment assessment. The Company continues to monitor its goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment and additional charges may be recorded in the future from these analyses depending on market conditions and actual and forecasted future results.

Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenues by end customer geography for the periods reported (in millions):

The following table presents revenue for the Company recognized at a point in time versus over time for the periods reported (in millions):

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the following balances were associated with revenue (in millions):

a)

Approximately$232.5 million of the contract liability balance on December 31, 2024, was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

b)

Bruker’s mix of remaining performance obligations consist of firm orders under non-cancelable purchase orders received from customers and the timing of revenue recognition can vary significantly due to a variety of factors. Bruker manufactures innovative scientific instruments and diagnostic solutions which can result in varying production and installation timing due to components, customization, manufacturing, assembly, testing processes, and customer site availability or readiness. Bruker’s expected completion of performance obligations can vary from year to year based on these and other factors. As a result, performance obligations on any particular date may be indicative of Bruker’s short-term revenue performance but is not necessarily a reliable indicator of long-term revenue performance. The Company will recognize revenues for these performance obligations as they are satisfied, the majority of which is expected to occur within the next twelve months.

Lease Revenue

The Company’s right to future consideration from reagent purchases under the reagent agreements is allocated to instrument revenue and is recorded as a lease receivable within other current and long-term assets. Agreements that do not meet the criteria to be classified as a sales-type lease are classified as operating leases. Lease revenue is presented in product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and consisted of less than 2% of total consolidated revenue in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

The components of provision for income taxes are as follows (in millions):

a)

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the rate is not meaningful and was due to one-time favorable discrete events recorded during the period. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate for the six months June 30, 2025 was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional mix and net favorable discrete activities.

The table below summaries unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties components (in millions):

a)

This excludes penalties and interest. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, there would be a reduction of the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company files tax returns in the United States, which include federal, state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company considers Germany, the United States, and Switzerland to be its significant tax jurisdictions. The majority of the Company’s earnings are derived in Germany and Switzerland. Accounting for the various federal and local taxing authorities, the statutory rates for 2025 are approximately 30.0% and 20.0% for Germany and Switzerland, respectively. The mix of earnings in those two jurisdictions resulted in an increase of approximately 7.5% from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar Two Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”), 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. The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, reflects currently enacted legislation and guidance related to the model rules. This enacted legislation and guidance had an impact on the Company's income tax provision, resulting in an increase to its effective tax rate of 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company continues to monitor the countries in which it operates as they enact legislation implementing Pillar 2.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027.

On July 18, 2025, the German Federal Council enacted legislation to gradually reduce the corporate income tax rate from 15% to 10% over the period 2028 to 2032.

The Company will assess the impact of these changes on its consolidated financial statements and will record them during the third quarter of 2025, which is the period of enactment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Instruments

The Company's major exposures relate to foreign exchange rate, interest rate, and commodity price risks. Risk management activities related to these risks are as follows:

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk:

The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rate risk includes exchange risk as a result of non-U.S. operations having functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, which is managed by cross-currency interest rate swap agreements and long-term debt designated as net investment hedges. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had several cross-currency interest rate swap agreements that qualify for hedge accounting with a notional value of$127.9 million of U.S. Dollar to Swiss Franc and a notional value of$127.9 million of U.S. Dollar to Euro to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on portions of its Euro and Swiss Franc denominated net asset investments.

In addition, the Company has foreign currency exposure at a transaction level, and this is addressed by forward currency contracts for significant exposures which have not been designated as accounting hedges.

Interest Rate Risk:

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to outstanding variable rate debt under the U.S. Dollar denominated 2019 Term Loan and adverse movements in the related market rates. This exposure is managed as part of a cross-currency interest rate swap which involves the Company paying-fixed receiving-floating. The objective of this designated cash flow hedge is to offset the variability of cash flows on term loan debt interest payments attributable to changes in SOFR, a contractually specified rate. The difference between the interest rate received and paid under the interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Commodity Price Risk:

The Company has arrangements with certain customers under which it has a firm commitment to deliver copper-based superconductors at a fixed price. In order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in the price of copper have on the Company’s sales of these commodities, the Company enters into commodity hedge contracts.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s product offerings include technologies and related intellectual property rights that are either developed or acquired. Such technologies and rights, particularly patents, are a significant part of ongoing product development and differentiation. Lawsuits, claims, and proceedings of a nature that claim infringement of patents or patent licenses owned by others are considered normal to the business and may be pending from time to time against the Company. Intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable. Although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict or quantify.

Loss contingency provisions are recorded if the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding related to patents, products, and other matters, is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, or a range of loss can be determined. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, management’s best estimate is represented by the minimum amount of the range. If a material loss is not reasonably estimable, but is considered probable, or a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, disclosure would be provided below. The outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, and the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters, net of amounts accrued in the Company's balance sheet, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

Third parties might allege that the Company or its collaborators are infringing their patent rights or that the Company is otherwise violating their intellectual property rights. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could result in one or more of the following and have a material impact on our business or consolidated results of operations and financial position: (i) loss of patent protection; (ii) inability to continue to engage in certain activities; (iii) payment of significant damages, royalties, penalties, and/or license fees to third parties; and, (iv) with respect to products acquired through acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, potentially significant intangible asset impairment charges.

At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the accrual for several legal matters that were deemed to be both probable and estimable was$27.3 million and $86.0 million, respectively. In management’s opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings other than those specifically identified below, individually or in the aggregate, that could materially adversely impact our operating results and cash flows. Unless included in our legal accrual or otherwise indicated below, a range of loss associated with any individual material legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses for the matters described below, the ultimate resolution of, or increase in accruals for, one or more of these matters in any reporting period may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and cash flows for that period.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of PhenomeX Inc. (“PhenomeX”) on October 2, 2023, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bruker Cellular Analysis, Inc., was substituted as a party into the existing patent litigation between PhenomeX and AbCellera Biologics Inc. (“AbCellera”) related to PhenomeX’s Beacon instruments and Opto products. The University of British Columbia (“UBC”), the owner and licensor to AbCellera of the asserted patents, is a co-plaintiff in the litigation. The plaintiffs’ complaint seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief.

In connection with the acquisition of NanoString on May 6, 2024, the Company assumed certain of its liabilities, including the liabilities associated with NanoString’s litigation matters with 10x Genomics, Inc. (“10x”) related to NanoString’s GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler products, NanoString’s CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager products, and 10x’s Visium Spatial Gene Expression system and related products. On May 12, 2025, the Company and 10x entered into a settlement agreement resolving these litigation matters, with global patent cross license agreements between the two companies. The settlement includes an agreement by the Company to pay $68.0 million to 10x in four equal quarterly installments, beginning in third quarter of 2025 and, effective as of the settlement date, the Company will pay royalties on sales of GeoMx and CosMx products until the expiration of the applicable licensed patents. In connection with the settlement, all ongoing lawsuits and administrative proceedings filed by both companies in several countries, including actions pending in the United States, in Germany, and before the European Unified Patent Court, have been, or are being, withdrawn. In accounting for the settlement agreement, the Company allocated the $68.0 million payment between amounts representing the settlement of the past liability related to patent infringement claims and the future cost of doing business associated with the license agreements. As a result, the Company recognized an intangible asset and recorded the remaining settlement amount under other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets in the second quarter of 2025.

No additional awards will be granted under the Prior Plan on or after the Effective Date. The 2026 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2026 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or another committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”) and provides for grants of awards to non-employee directors, employees, and certain key advisors of the Company, and its subsidiaries in the form of nonqualified and incentive options, stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights, cash-based awards, and other awards. The Committee has the authority to determine which employees will receive awards, the amount of any awards, and other terms and conditions of such awards. The 2026 Plan will terminate on May 28, 2035, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.
