Bruker Q1 2025 Earnings Report

Bruker reported higher revenue and operating income compared to the prior year, but experienced a drop in GAAP earnings and net income due to acquisition-related costs and margin pressures.

Key Takeaways

Bruker delivered an 11.0% increase in revenue in Q1 2025, supported by acquisitions and moderate organic growth. Despite strong execution, the company reported a sharp decline in GAAP net income and EPS due to integration costs from 2024 acquisitions.

GAAP EPS dropped to $0.11, while non-GAAP EPS was $0.47.
