Description of Business

Bruker Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Bruker” or the “Company”), develops, manufactures, and distributes high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable its customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular, and cellular levels. Many of the Company’s products are used to detect, measure, and visualize structural characteristics of chemical, biological, and industrial material samples.

The Company has four reportable segments:

Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) BioSpin:

Designs, manufactures, and distributes life science tools based on magnetic resonance technology, and provides automated laboratory research and development and quality control workflow solutions in a wide range of chemical research fields. Revenues are generated by academic and government research customers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and nonprofit laboratories, as well as chemical, food and beverage, clinical, and other industrial companies.

BSI CALID (Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science, In Vitro Diagnostics, Detection):

Designs, manufactures, and distributes life science mass spectrometry, applied spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry solutions, analytical and process analysis instruments, and solutions based on infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies. Provides systems and assays for molecular diagnostics (“MDx”), biomedical systems/specialty IVD and microbiology, and radiological/nuclear detectors for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (“CBRNE”) detection. Revenues are generated from academic institutions and medical schools; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostics companies; contract research organizations; nonprofit and for-profit forensics laboratories; agriculture, food and beverage safety laboratories; environmental and clinical microbiology laboratories; hospitals and government departments and agencies.

BSI NANO:

Designs, manufactures, and distributes advanced X-ray instruments, atomic force microscopy instrumentation, advanced fluorescence optical microscopy instruments, analytical tools for electron microscopes and X-ray metrology, defect-detection equipment for semiconductor process control, handheld, portable and mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometry instruments, spark optical emission spectroscopy systems, chip cytometry products and services for targeted spatial proteomics, multi-omic services, optofluidic and proteomic barcoding platforms, and products and services for spatial genomics research and spatial biology. Revenues are generated from academic institutions, governmental customers, nanotechnology companies, semiconductor companies, raw material manufacturers, industrial companies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and other businesses involved in materials research and life science research analysis.

Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST):

Develops and manufactures superconducting and non-superconducting materials and devices for use in renewable energy, energy infrastructure, healthcare, and high energy physics research. The segment focuses on metallic low temperature superconductors for use in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance, fusion energy research, and other applications. Revenues are generated from medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, and aerospace companies, as well as other businesses involved in materials research, fusion energy research, high energy physics, renewable energy, and environmental research. BEST also delivers extreme ultraviolet radiation (“EUV”/“XUV”) based technologies and solutions to world leading semiconductor companies and research labs.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company completed a reorganization of its reportable segments to streamline its 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, the Company’s reportable segments consist of the following:

BSI Biosystems (BIOS”), consisting of:
o
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;
o
The SciY (formerly Integrated Data Solutions) division, previously part of the former BSI BioSpin segment;
o
The Chemspeed Technologies (“CST”) (formerly Automation) division, previously part of the former BSI BioSpin segment;
o
The Daltonics division (formerly Bruker Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry and Bruker Applied Mass Spectrometry), previously part of the former BSI CALID segment; and
o
The Optics division, previously part of the former BSI CALID segment.
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.
BSI NANO, for which no changes were made to the reportable segment structure.
BEST, for which no changes were made to the reportable segment structure.

 

Prior period segment information will be recast in future filings, beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, to conform to the new reportable segments. This change did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as of June 30, 2026, as the new reporting structure became effective after June 30, 2026.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the financial information presented herein does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2025, was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, that was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026 (“2025 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, and cash flows have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full year. Certain lines previously reported under specific captions within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and Note 9, Other Charges, Net have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

At June 30, 2026, the Company’s significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the 2025 Form 10-K, have not changed.
