Bruker Q3 2026 loss widens to $123M as revenue rises
Nine-month operating cash flow was $112.0 million, while goodwill impairment charges totaled $309.4 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Bruker Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $874.0 million, versus $860.5 million a year earlier, while net loss attributable to common shareholders was $122.8 million, versus $62.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, revenue was $2,535.9 million versus $2,459.3 million, and common-shareholder net loss was $182.2 million versus $37.4 million. Operating cash flow for the nine months was $112.0 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $95.7 million.
Goodwill impairment charges were $174.5 million in the third quarter and $309.4 million for the nine months, versus $96.5 million in each prior-year period; the third-quarter charge represented the remaining goodwill of the BSB&CA reporting unit. Bruker’s 2026 acquisitions involved $141.8 million in total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired, including the remaining 60.0% of Tofwerk and 94% of Mimetas. Acquired businesses contributed $32.8 million of revenue and $2.6 million of pretax losses from their acquisition dates through September 30, 2026. A segment reorganization effective July 1, 2026, did not affect historical consolidated results, financial position or cash flows.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

BRUKER CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2026
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.
Effective July 1, 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. Prior to this change, the Company’s four reportable segments consisted of Bruker Scientific Instruments (“BSI”) BioSpin, BSI CALID (Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science, In Vitro Diagnostics, Detection), BSI NANO, and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (“BEST”). As a result of this reorganization, beginning in the third quarter of 2026, the Company’s reportable segments consist of the following:
BSI BIOS designs, manufactures, and distributes life science and analytical instrumentation based on magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, molecular spectroscopy, and preclinical imaging technologies. BSI BIOS provides laboratory automation and scientific software solutions that support research, development, and quality control workflows across life science, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical, industrial, and other analytical applications.

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.
Prior period segment information within Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Note 7, Business Segment Information, and Note 10, Restructuring and Asset Impairments has been recast to conform to the new reportable segments as described above. This reportable operating segment realignment did not impact the Company’s historical consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 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 statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and shareholders’ equity, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, Note 9, Other Charges (Gains), Net, Note 11, Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net, and Note 14, Other Current Assets, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2025-09 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This new guidance refines certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815 to better align financial reporting with the economic effects of an entity’s risk management activities and to address implementation issues identified since the hedge accounting guidance that was issued prior to this ASU. Specifically, the ASU provides improvements in the following five areas: (i) similar risk assessment of cash flow hedges, (ii) hedging forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (iii) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (iv) net written options as hedging instruments, and (v) foreign currency-denominated debt instruments as a hedging instrument and hedged item. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its 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 its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Based on the terms of the transaction and the nature of the negotiations, the Company determined there was no control premium factored into the purchase of the additional 60.0% interest.

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 recorded the provisional determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available at the time of the issuance of these financial statements for the Mimetas acquisition. 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. The Company has finalized its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to all other acquisitions completed prior to the third quarter of 2026, within the measurement period, and no further material adjustments were recorded.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information for 2026 acquired businesses (unaudited)
The consolidated revenue and earnings results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 would not be materially different had the Tofwerk and Mimetas acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2026. The other acquisition completed during 2026 was not material to the Company. As such, additional pro forma information combining the results of operations of the Company and these acquisitions have not been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The fair value measurement of the put option liability as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included significant unobservable inputs as follows:

Unobservable Input |
Value as of |
Value as of |
Equity interest purchase option liability |
Discounted Cash Flow |

EBITDA Risk Premium |
The fair value measurement of the put option liability is sensitive to changes in the significant unobservable inputs. Increases in projected cash flow assumptions would result in a higher fair value measurement, while higher risk premiums would result in a lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs may be interrelated, and changes in one input may be offset by changes in another input. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs could result in a materially higher or lower fair value measurement.

In April 2026, one of the Company’s equity interest investments completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). Prior to the IPO, the equity position was valued using the measurement alternative. Following the IPO, the investment was measured at fair value with changes recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of the investment was $
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company identified qualitative indicators of impairment for certain of its minority investments, including the NovAliX investment discussed above, which are accounted for under either the measurement alternative or the equity method. Such qualitative indicators of impairment included updated assessments of the investees’ remaining operating cash runway, the investees’ ability and likelihood of raising additional capital, and the investees’ current business plans. The Company determined the fair value of these investments to be below their carrying amounts and, as a result, recorded impairment charges of $

The Company tests 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. The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary before performing the quantitative assessment. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be required. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, the Company compares the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The assumptions used in the Company’s impairment analyses are developed in light of current market conditions and future expectations which include, but are not limited to, new product and service developments, impact of competition, and future economic conditions. The reporting unit fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because it involves significant unobservable inputs.
On April 1, 2026, the Company completed the merger of the Bruker Cellular Analysis (“BCA”) business into the Bruker Spatial Biology (“BSB”) division. In connection with this merger, the Company performed goodwill impairment tests for the BSB reporting unit pre‑merger as of March 31, 2026, and for the newly combined reporting unit post‑merger (“BSB&CA”) as of April 1, 2026. The pre-merger goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of the BSB reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. Based on the results of the post-merger goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $
Goodwill impairment charges for the BSB&CA reporting unit within the BSI NANO segment totaled $
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company reduced its forecasted revenue and cash flows for the CST (formerly Automation) reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test for the CST reporting unit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $

As described in Note 1, Description of Business, effective July 1, 2026, the Company completed a reorganization of its reportable segments. This reorganization resulted in changes to the composition of certain of the Company’s reporting units and as a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test for those reporting units. The Company completed the analysis during the third quarter of 2026 and determined that the fair values of the affected reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Accordingly, no goodwill impairment charge was recorded.
In connection with the acquisition of Mimetas, as further described in Note 3, Acquisitions, the Company established a new reporting unit, Mimetas, within the BSI BIOS segment during the third quarter of 2026, and assigned goodwill of $
The Company will continue to monitor circumstances and uncertainties that may impact the carrying values of its reporting units, including the current macroeconomic conditions and the timing and quantity of future cash flows. If the fair value of any of the Company’s reporting units declines below the carrying value in future periods, additional goodwill impairment charges may be incurred.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, to determine if there have been any triggering events that could indicate an impairment. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the quoted market price, if available, or the estimated fair value of the asset groups. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition. Impairment costs are recorded in total cost of revenue and total operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset group.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a de minimis impairment charge on certain existing technology and patent intangible assets related to the decision to discontinue certain product lines as part of the restructuring plans described in Note 10, Restructuring and Asset Impairments.

The Company has historically generated higher levels of revenue in the fourth quarter and lower levels of revenue in the first quarter of the year, which it believes is influenced by its customers’ budgeting cycles.
The Company’s CEO is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In evaluating segment performance, the CODM excludes from segment expenses and segment operating income (loss) certain corporate-related expenses and certain transactions or adjustments, such as costs related to restructuring actions, acquisitions and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, costs associated with the Company’s global information technology (“IT”) transition initiatives, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived asset impairment charges, and other costs. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

As the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, diluted and basic net loss per common share for those periods are the same because all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive in a net loss position.
The following common share equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (amounts in millions of shares):

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.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar Two Framework Model Rules (“Pillar Two”), 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. In January 2026, the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework issued guidance establishing a Side-by-Side system, including safe harbors that may apply to U.S. parented multinational groups. The Company’s income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflected currently enacted legislation and guidance related to Pillar Two. This enacted legislation and guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company continues to evaluate the Side-by-Side guidance and monitor the countries in which it operates as they enact legislation implementing Pillar Two.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk related 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 was managed as part of an interest rate swap which involved the Company paying fixed, receiving floating. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated during the third quarter of 2025 following the repayment of the 2019 Term Loan.

Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to acquisition are recognized in Acquisition-related expenses, net included in Other charges (gains), net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Contingent consideration payments in excess of the acquisition date fair value are included in net cash provided by operating activities, and the original acquisition date values are included in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The contingent consideration is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and changes in fair value subsequent to acquisition are recognized in earnings. The carrying value and changes in fair value subsequent to acquisition recognized for contingent consideration are not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, therefore additional disclosures regarding the significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis have been omitted.
Related to certain other majority owned acquisitions, the Company has 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. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information on the Company’s policy on hybrid instruments liabilities.

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, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. 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 the Company’s 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.

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 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). The dollar amounts listed in the tables presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in millions of U.S. Dollars.
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:
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 2025 Form 10-K 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.
We can experience quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our operating results as a result of various factors, some of which are outside our control. The aforementioned various factors include:

Several of these factors have affected and may 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Uses and definitions:
Although our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, we believe that describing revenue excluding the effects of foreign currency, and expenses excluding costs related to restructuring actions, impairment costs, acquisitions, integration and IT transformation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other costs (“Non-GAAP Adjustments”), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance but should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We rely internally on certain measures that are not calculated according to GAAP. These measures include non-GAAP constant exchange rate (“CER”) currency revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income margin, and non-GAAP 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. These non-GAAP measures should be evaluated in the context of our ongoing operating model and may not be indicative of future performance.
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.

The increase in non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin during the three months ended September 30, 2026, was driven primarily by cost savings initiatives and favorable revenue mix. The increase in non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was driven primarily by cost savings initiatives and a favorable net impact of U.S. tariffs, partially offset by unfavorable revenue volume and mix and, with respect to gross profit margin, foreign exchange headwinds.

The increase in our non-GAAP operating margin during the three months ended September 30, 2026, was driven primarily by cost savings initiatives, which reduced cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses, and by favorable revenue mix. The increase in our non-GAAP operating margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was driven primarily by cost savings initiatives and a favorable net impact of U.S. tariffs, partially offset by unfavorable revenue mix, and foreign exchange headwinds. The unfavorable revenue mix more than offset the benefit of higher revenue volume for the period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our free cash flow increased by $201.4 million compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher operating cash flow, primarily attributable to higher net income, excluding non-cash impairment of goodwill and other assets, timing of vendor payments, and lower cash tax payments.

The overall increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to growth in our BSI BIOS and BEST segments. The increase in BSI BIOS revenue was driven primarily by a $14.0 million, or 3.5%, contribution from recent acquisitions, primarily Tofwerk and Mimetas, as discussed in greater detail in Note 3, Acquisitions to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as higher demand in the industrial and semiconductor markets. This increase was partially offset by lower revenue from the hospital and clinical

market and the academic and government research market. Foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to a stronger U.S. Dollar, reduced BSI BIOS revenue by approximately $4.0 million, or 0.9%. The increase in BEST revenue was driven primarily by higher demand from the hospital and clinical market. Geographically, revenue growth in Europe and North America was partially offset by lower revenue in China.
The overall increase in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period for 2025, was primarily due to growth in our BSI BIOS, BSI BMID, and BEST segments. The increase in BSI BIOS revenue was driven primarily by a $43.0 million, or 3.9%, contribution from recent acquisitions, primarily Tofwerk, and higher demand from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market and the hospital and clinical market. This increase was partially offset by lower revenue from the academic and government research market, primarily in the United States and China. Foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to a weaker U.S. Dollar, increased BSI BIOS revenue by approximately $16.0 million, or 1.5%. The increase in BSI BMID revenue was driven primarily by higher demand from the industrial market and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market. Foreign currency fluctuations increased BSI BMID revenue by approximately $10.0 million, or 2.6%. The increase in BEST revenue was driven primarily by higher demand from the hospital and clinical market and the academic and government research market, partially offset by lower revenue from the semiconductor and other markets. Foreign currency fluctuations increased BEST revenue by approximately $5.0 million, or 2.7%.

Gross profit increased by $49.9 million and gross profit margin improved by 500 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by a $19.6 million decrease in restructuring costs, cost savings initiatives that reduced product costs, and favorable revenue mix. The BSI BIOS segment contributed approximately $29.0 million of the increase in gross profit, driven primarily by lower product costs resulting from cost savings initiatives, with additional benefit from a $12.4 million decrease in restructuring costs, and the absence of intangible asset impairment charges of $4.3 million recorded in the prior-year period. The BSI BNANO segment contributed approximately $10.5 million of the increase, driven primarily by the absence of intangible asset impairment charges of $8.3 million and the absence of restructuring charges of $4.5 million recorded in the prior-year period, as well as lower product costs resulting from cost savings initiatives. These factors also contributed to improved gross profit margins in both segments.
Gross profit increased by $96.6 million and gross profit margin improved by 240 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by a $16.8 million decrease in restructuring costs, cost savings initiatives that reduced product costs, a favorable net impact from U.S. tariffs, and higher revenue volume, partially offset by unfavorable revenue mix, higher purchased intangible asset amortization, and foreign exchange headwinds. The BSI BIOS segment contributed approximately $65.9 million of the increase in gross profit, driven primarily by higher revenue volume, lower product costs resulting from cost savings initiatives, a $11.5 million decrease in restructuring costs, a favorable net impact from U.S. tariffs, and the absence of intangible asset impairment charges of $9.9 million recorded in the prior-year period. The BSI BMID segment contributed approximately $18.1 million of the increase, driven primarily by higher revenue volume, a $4.2 million decrease in restructuring costs, a favorable net impact from U.S. tariffs, and lower product costs resulting from cost savings initiatives. These factors also contributed to improved gross profit margins in both segments.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 25.9% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 28.2% in the prior-year period, and decreased to 27.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 28.4% in the same period in 2025. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost saving initiatives.

Table of Contents
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses decreased to 10.5% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 11.4% in the prior-year period, and decreased to 11.3% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 12.0% for the same period in 2025. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost saving initiatives.
Goodwill Impairment Charge
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 reporting unit post‑merger (“BSB&CA”) as of April 1, 2026. The pre-merger goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of the BSB reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. Based on the results of the post-merger goodwill impairment test, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36.5 million during the second quarter of 2026 within the BSI NANO segment. During the third quarter of 2026, changes in the competitive landscape and operating results below expectations led us to lower our expectations for the BSB&CA reporting unit, including our long-term forecasted revenue and cash flows. These factors constituted a triggering event that required an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2026, which resulted in an additional goodwill impairment charge of $174.5 million within the BSI NANO segment. The third quarter 2026 impairment charge represented the remaining goodwill balance of the BSB&CA reporting unit.
Goodwill impairment charges for the BSB&CA reporting unit within the BSI NANO segment totaled $211.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In determining the fair values of the BSB&CA reporting unit in the second quarter of 2026 we used a weighted combination of the market approach and the income approach. When determining the fair value of the BSB&CA reporting unit in the third quarter of 2026, we used the income approach. Significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow model included, but were not limited to, discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 14.0%, revenue growth rate assumptions at the higher end of the projected ranges for our other significant businesses, and, for the impairment test performed in the third quarter of 2026, operating margin rate assumptions that were lower than those of the Company’s other significant businesses.
During the second quarter of 2026, we reduced our forecasted revenue and cash flows for the CST (formerly Automation) reporting unit. As a result, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for the CST reporting unit. We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $98.4 million within the BSI BIOS segment, all of which was recognized in the second quarter of 2026. The impairment charge represented the remaining goodwill balance of the CST reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the CST reporting unit, we used the income approach. Significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow model included, but were not limited to, a discount rate of 13.5% and revenue growth and operating margin rate assumptions at the lower end of the projected ranges for our other significant businesses.
As described in Note 1, Description of Business, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, effective July 1, 2026, we completed a reorganization of our reportable segments. This reorganization resulted in changes to the composition of certain of our reporting units and, as a result, we performed interim goodwill impairment tests for the affected reporting units during the third quarter of 2026. The fair value of each affected reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and, therefore, no goodwill impairment charge was recorded.
In connection with the acquisition of Mimetas, as further described in Note 3, Acquisitions, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we established a new reporting unit, Mimetas, within the BSI BIOS segment during the third quarter of 2026 and assigned it $42.5 million of goodwill. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the Mimetas reporting unit approximated its carrying value as of the acquisition date. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any events or trends reasonably likely to negatively affect its estimated fair value.
We will continue to monitor circumstances and uncertainties that may impact the carrying value of our reporting units, including 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.

Other Charges (Gains), Net
Other charges (gains), net increased by $33.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a $45.3 million unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related hybrid liability adjustments. The prior-year period included a significant gain related to the remeasurement of a hybrid liability associated with certain majority-owned acquisitions, compared to a de minimis charge in the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by lower restructuring and impairment charges, primarily related to restructuring programs as described in Note 10, Restructuring, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 9, Other Charges (Gains), Net, for additional details.
Other charges (gains), net increased by $21.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the unfavorable year-over-year impact of acquisition-related hybrid liability adjustments described above, partially offset by a $24.7 million decrease in acquisition-related litigation charges. The prior-year period included costs related to the settlement of litigation matters, while no significant acquisition-related litigation costs were incurred in the current-year period. Refer to Note 9, Other Charges (Gains), Net, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

The increase in operating loss and unfavorable change in operating loss margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the goodwill impairment charges in our BSI BIOS 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 the unfavorable change in acquisition-related hybrid liability adjustments, partially offset by higher gross profit, lower acquisition-related litigation charges, lower restructuring costs, and cost savings initiatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the positive net U.S. tariffs impact also partially offset the increase in operating loss and unfavorable change in operating loss margin.
Global Tariffs
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. 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 September 30, 2026, the majority of our tariff refund requests had been approved.
Various other tariff programs remain in effect and additional tariff measures have been proposed or implemented, and additional measures may be proposed or implemented in the future. 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.
Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net
The decrease in Interest and other (expense) income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in impairment charges related to our minority investments, including a $34.6 million impairment of our investment in NovAliX. This increase in impairment charges was partially offset by a $9.7 million unrealized gain on an equity interest investment recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2026. Refer to Note 4, Minority and Equity-Method Investments, and Note 11, Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding Interest and other (expense) income, net.
The increase in Interest and other (expense) income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily attributable to a $37.3 million unrealized gain on an equity investment and a $12.2 million gain on the remeasurement of the previously held equity interest in Tofwerk recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by an increase in impairment charges related to our minority investments, including a $34.6 million impairment of our investment in NovAliX recognized in the third quarter of 2026. Refer to Note 4, Minority and Equity-Method Investments, and Note 11, Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding Interest and other (expense) income, net.
Income Tax Provision
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 10.1% and (3.2%), respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 19.6%, and 18.4%, respectively. We recorded an income tax benefit and an income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three-month period was driven primarily by deductible goodwill impairment charges recorded in our BSB&CA reporting unit. The income tax provision for the nine-month period was driven primarily by the tax effects of nondeductible goodwill impairment charges recorded in previous quarters in our Company’s CST reporting unit, partially offset by deductible goodwill impairment charges recorded in our BSB&CA reporting unit. 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.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar Two Framework Model Rules (“Pillar Two”), 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. In January 2026, the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework issued guidance establishing a Side-by-Side system, including safe harbors that may apply to U.S. parented multinational groups. Our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflected currently enacted legislation and guidance related to Pillar Two. This enacted legislation and guidance did not have a material impact on our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. We continue to evaluate the Side-by-Side guidance and monitor the countries in which we operate as they enact legislation implementing Pillar Two.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows
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 September 30, 2026, we had $119.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $75.6 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our cash and cash equivalents balance includes the positive net position under our notional cash pooling arrangement. We have access to the vast majority of our 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, resulted primarily from consolidated net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $346.4 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of ($234.4) million. The increase in consolidated net loss adjusted for non-cash items was driven primarily by (i) goodwill impairment charges recognized in the BSI NANO segment related to the impairment of the BSB&CA reporting unit and in the BSI BIOS segment related to the impairment of the Chemspeed Technologies (formerly Automation) reporting unit, as described in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, (ii) year-over-year changes in foreign currency gains and losses associated with Swiss franc-denominated intercompany debt, and (iii) fluctuations in the fair value remeasurement of our put option liabilities and hybrid instrument liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, increased primarily due to timing of vendor payments and lower cash tax payments, partially offset by lower collections of accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, resulted primarily from purchases of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets of $74.5 million and cash paid for acquisitions of $73.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was primarily from repayments of long-term debt of $186.3 million and cash paid for dividends to our preferred and common shareholders of $55.8 million, partially offset by net proceeds from our 2024 Revolving Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of $115.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also included the issuance of, and proceeds received from, the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during the third quarter of 2025, for which there was no comparable issuance in 2026.
Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2026, we have total outstanding debt of $1.7 billion 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 Credit Facility or incur term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $400.0 million. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants of our debt agreements.
For a summary of the fair and carrying values of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, refer to Note 15, Debt, and Note 16, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For additional information on our outstanding debt and credit facility refer to Note 20, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
On September 8, 2025, we issued 2,760,000 shares, or $690 million aggregate liquidation preference, of our 6.375% mandatory convertible preferred stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share, (including 360,000 shares, or $90,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference, of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock issued upon exercise by the underwriters of over-allotment option in full) pursuant to a previously announced underwritten public offering. Dividends on the mandatory convertible preferred stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared by our board of directors, at an annual rate of 6.375% on the liquidation preference of $250 per share. If declared, these dividends will be paid in cash, or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of our common stock or, subject to certain limitations, in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, which commenced on December 1, 2025, and ending on, and including, September 1, 2028. We used the proceeds from this issuance to repay (i) our term loan due December 2026 in full, (ii) outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility in full, and (iii) a portion of our term loan due March 2027. Refer to Note 21, Shareholder's Equity, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our mandatory convertible preferred stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025, except as noted below. Refer to our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Impairments
As a result of triggering events, we completed interim goodwill impairment tests on our BSB&CA and CST reporting units during the second quarter of 2026 and an additional interim goodwill impairment test on our BSB&CA reporting unit during the third quarter of 2026. The analyses 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, current market conditions (including changes in the competitive landscape), and management’s revised expectations of future revenues and operating margin. As a result, we recorded total goodwill impairment charges of $211.0 million and $98.4 million for the BSB&CA and CST reporting units, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The CST reporting unit had no remaining goodwill following the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2026, and the BSB&CA reporting unit had no remaining goodwill following the impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2026. In addition, in connection with the reorganization of our reportable segments effective July 1, 2026, we performed interim goodwill impairment tests for the affected reporting units, which did not result in any goodwill impairment charges.
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.
