BILLERICA, Mass., April 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced preliminary revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, in a range of $795 million to $800 million, comparing favorably to the Company’s earlier outlook and well ahead of consensus.
This estimated range implies reported revenue growth of approximately 10% year-over-year, with low-double digit percentage constant exchange rate revenue growth. Bruker estimates non-GAAP organic revenue growth in the first quarter to be in the low-single digit percentages, with mid-single digit percentage organic revenue growth in the Bruker Scientific Instrument (BSI) segment, and a high-teens percentage organic revenue decline in the BEST segment, net of intercompany eliminations.
Bruker expects to report its first quarter 2025 financial results before market opening on May 7, 2025.

Preliminary Financial Information
The anticipated results discussed in this press release are based on management’s preliminary, unaudited analysis of financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. As of the date of this press release, Bruker has not completed its quarter end procedures for such period, and the Company’s independent registered accounting firm has not reviewed the preliminary financial data discussed in this press release. During the course of the Company’s quarter-end closing procedures and review process, the Company may identify items that would require it to make adjustments, which may be material to the information presented above. As a result, the estimates above constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments to preliminary operating results.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement this preliminary consolidated financial information, which is prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also refer to organic revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define the term organic revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency translation rates and the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, and believe it is a useful measure to evaluate our continuing business.
The presentation of 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 may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance, however we urge investors not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Specifically, management believes that the non-GAAP measures mentioned above provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry, as well as by our management, in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.
We use this and other non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management believes this provides a more comparable measure of our continuing business by adjusting for certain items that are not reflective of the underlying performance of our business. This measure may also be useful to investors in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business and forecasting future results. We regularly use 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 certain non-GAAP measures and use this information for our planning and forecasting activities.
Forward Looking Statements
