Risks and& Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to its industry including, but not limited to, global economic conditions, (including increasing inflation), rapid technological change, government and academic funding levels, the impact of the

COVID-19
coronavirus, geopolitical uncertainties, changes in commodity prices, spending patterns of its customers, protection of its intellectual property, availability of key raw materials and components, compliance with existing and future regulation by government agencies and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

The impact of the

COVID-19
worldwide pandemic has been and will likely continue to be extensive in certain geographies and aspects of society. The pandemic has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, global supply chains, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world.

Impacts to the Company’s business since the beginning of the pandemic have included temporary closures in 2020 of many of the Company’s government and university customers and suppliers, disruptions or restrictions on employees’ and customers’ ability to travel, and delays in product installations or shipments to and from affected countries. In an effort to halt the outbreak of

COVID-19,
a number of countries, including the United States, have implemented and some continue to implement, significant restrictions on travel, shelter in place or stay at home orders, and business closures. While somemany of these restrictions are looseninghave loosened in certain jurisdictions, including the United States and Europe, some markets have returned and others may return to restrictions in the face of increases in new
COVID-19
cases, particularly if additional or new strains of the virus. A number of states, including California, Massachusetts and New Jersey where the Company has significant operations have implemented phased
re-opening
policies as vaccines to protect against the virus continue to be administered. However, many of the Company’s employees in these areas continue to work remotely, and any
re-openings
may be delayed or pulled back if the virus continues to spread or as newmore contagious strains of the virus emerge,emerge. Many of the Company's employees in particular if existing vaccines are determinedjurisdictions in which it has significant operations continue to be less effective against these new strains than against earlier strains.work remotely. In addition, a number ofcertain Asia Pacific geographies where the Company’s production facilities hadCompany operates are continuing to either temporarily close or operate on a reduced capacity in 2020.experience significant COVID-19 disruptions, including extensive and sustained lockdowns. Much of the commercial activity in sales and marketing, and customer demonstrations and applications training, is still either being conducted remotely or postponed. Many customer purchasing departments are still operating at reduced capacity, and many customers could delay or cut capital expenditures and operating budgets due to pandemic-related concerns. Even where customers have
re-opened
their sites, manysome still operate at productivity levels that are below
pre-pandemic
levels in an effort to accommodate safety protocols.protocols and as a result of pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Any resurgence of the virus or the emergence of new strains of the virus, particularly any new strains which are more easily transmitted or which are resistant to existing vaccines, may require the Company or its customers to close or partially close operations once again. These travel restrictions, business closures and operating reductions at Bruker, customers, distributors, and/or suppliers have in the past adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact the Company’s operations worldwide, including the ability to manufacture, sell or distribute products, as well as cause temporary closures of foreign distributors, or the facilities of suppliers or customers. Global supply chains, including for semiconductor chips, components and other component products,raw materials such as copper, have been disrupted, causing shortages, which could impacthas impacted the Company’s ability to manufacture or supply its products. The Company could also experience increased compensation expenses associated with employee recruiting and employee retention to the extent employment opportunities continue to multiply post-pandemic, causing the search for and retention of talent to become more competitive. This disruption of the Company’s employees, distributors, suppliers and customers has historically impacted and may continue to impact the Company’s global sales and operating results.

Further, while the Company is not currently subject to any vaccine mandate, any requirement to mandate COVID-19 vaccination of its workforce or require the Company’s unvaccinated employees to be tested weekly could result in employee attrition and difficulty securing future labor needs and may have an adverse effect on future operations. It continues to be the Company's policy to encourage each of its employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Company is continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the

COVID-19
pandemic on commercial operations including its impact on revenue in 2021.2022. However, the Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will ultimately have on future operations due to uncertainties relating to the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, including the impact of any resurgence of the virus or the continued emergence of new strains of the virus, the effectiveness and availability of vaccines, (including to protect against any new strains of the virus), the willingness of individuals to receive vaccines and boosters, and the length or severity of the travel restrictions, business closures and other safety and precautionary measures imposed by the governments of impacted countries. The pandemic has also adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries, which has affected and likely will continue to affect demand for the Company’sCompany's products and its operating results.

9


The Company has experienced supply chain interruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, general global economic conditions, a tighter labor market and other factors including natural events and disasters. Various factors, including increased demand for certain components and production delays, are contributing to shortages of certain components used in the Company’s products and increased difficulties in the Company’s ability to obtain a consistent supply of materials at stable pricing levels. Supply shortages and longer lead times for components used in the Company’s products, including limited source components, can result in significant additional costs and inefficiencies in manufacturing. A shortage of key components may cause a significant disruption to the Company’s production activities, which could have a substantial adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. If the Company is unsuccessful in resolving any such component shortages in a timely manner, the Company could experience a significant adverse impact on the timing of its revenue, a possible loss of revenue, or an increase in manufacturing costs, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.

Additionally, geopolitical tensions, such as Russia's ongoing incursion into Ukraine, ongoing conflicts between the United States and China, tariff and trade policy changes, economic sanctions, and increasing potential of conflict involving countries in Asia that are critical to the Company's supply chain operations, such as Taiwan and China, have resulted in increasing global tensions and create uncertainty for global commerce. In addition to experiencing adverse economic impacts resulting from economic sanctions on Russia, the Company has largely suspended its' Russian operations. Sustained or worsening global economic conditions and increasing inflation and geopolitical tensions have increased the Company's cost of doing business, materially disrupted the Company's supply chain operations, caused certain of the Company's customers to reduce or delay spending and further intensified pricing pressures. Any or all of these factors could negatively affect demand for the Company's products and its business, financial condition and result of operations.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates estimates, judgments and methodologies. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believesthey believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity and the amount of revenues and expenses. The full extent to which the

COVID-19
pandemic, global supply chain interruptions, and geopolitical instability will directly or indirectly impact the future business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, reserves and allowances, manufacturing, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, dependswill depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emergedevelopments concerning
COVID-19,
the effectivenessCOVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain and availability of
COVID-19
vaccines or individuals’ willingness to receive vaccines, and the actions taken to contain or treat the virus, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets.various global conflicts. The Company has made estimates of the impact of
COVID-19
within the financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”Update ("ASU")

No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
(“ (“ASU
2020-04”),
which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include: contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as
held-to-maturity.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
: Scope, to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions under the reference rate reform guidance for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in the reference rate reform guidance, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. This temporary guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company may elect to apply this guidance for all contract modifications or eligible hedging relationships during that time period subject to certain criteria. The Company is still evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and whether this guidance will be adopted.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-01-
Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)
, which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for certain equity securities, equity method investments, and certain forward contracts and purchased options. The guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying measurement principles for certain equity securities immediately before applying or discontinuing the equity method. The Company adopted this guidance using a prospective method. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU
2019-12
- Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
. The guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions within the current guidance; including the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The amendment also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets—

Most of the Company’s long-term contracts are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Billing often occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Contract assets are generally classified as other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $48.8$46.4 million and $41.8$46.1 million, respectively
respectively.

Contract liabilities—

The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets based on the timing of when revenue recognition is expected. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the contract liabilities were $407.5$467.9 million and $399.4$430.8 million, respectively. The increase in the contract liability balance during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 is primarily the result of a delay in installations due tonew performance obligations entered into during the impact of

2022

PreOmics GmbH

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired a 74.15% interest in PreOmics GmbH, (“PreOmics”), a privately held company, for a purchase price of ContentsEUR 46.1 million (approximately $52.1 million). PreOmics is a leading provider of sample preparation and automation solutions for proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry systems. PreOmics is located in Munich, Germany and was integrated into Bruker CALID Group within the BSI Life Science Segment.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest holders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining 25.85% of PreOmics for cash at a contractually defined redemption value for both the original founders and other shareholders of PreOmics, exercisable beginning in 2026. The fair value of these rights has been bifurcated into two financial instruments to separately account for the amounts attributable to the founders and the amount attributable to other shareholders.

The rights (embedded derivative) associated with the founders can be accelerated, at a discounted redemption value, upon certain events related to post combination services. As the options are tied to continued employment, and the Company classified the hybrid instrument (noncontrolling interest with an embedded derivative) as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The hybrid instrument associated with the founders is initially measured at fair value and subsequent to the acquisition, the carrying value of the hybrid instrument is remeasured to fair value with changes recorded to stock-based compensation expense in proportion to the requisite service period vested.

The rights associated with the other noncontrolling interest shareholders are contingently redeemable at the option of the other noncontrolling interest shareholders. As redemption of the rights is contingently redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling interest shareholders, the Company classifies the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section on the consolidated balance sheet, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings.

The Company expects to complete the fair value allocation during the measurement period. The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired is nine years for technology, and twelve years for the trade name and customer relationships.

had several cross-currency and interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $150.0$149.3 million of U.S. to Swiss Franc and a notional value of $355.0$249.3 million of U.S. to Euro to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on portions of our Euro and Swiss Franc denominated net asset investments. These agreements qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly the change

changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income as part of foreign currency translation adjustments and remain in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Bruker Corporation in shareholders’ equity until the sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign operation. 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 (expenses) in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As a result of entering into these agreements, the Company has lowered net interest expense by $1.4$
1.1 million and $2.6$1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020, respectively.

The Company’s

Derivative financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash,are classified within level 2 because there is not an active market for each derivative instruments consisting of forward currency contracts, cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, commodity contracts, derivatives embedded in certain purchase and sale contracts, derivatives embedded within noncontrolling interests, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration and long-term debt. The carrying amountscontract. However, the inputs used to calculate the value of the Company’s cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, accounts receivable, borrowings under a revolving credit agreement and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Derivative assets and liabilitiesinstruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s long-term debt consists principally of a note purchase agreement entered into in 2012 and a revolving credit agreement, long term loan agreement and note purchase agreement entered into in 2019.

The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and management’s estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
obtained from active markets.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities which originated during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 or 2020.

The fair value of the long-term fixed interest rate debt, which has been classified as Level 2 was $527.7 million and $549.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, based on market and observable sources with similar maturity

dates. The carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates its fair value at March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.
2021.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its short-term investments to determine if there have been any events that could create an impairment. None were noted for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 or 2020.

Debt securities consist of investments in redeemable preferred stock. Debt securities are classified as either current or long-term investments based on their contractual maturities unless the Company intends to sell an investment within the next twelve months, in which case it is classified as current on the consolidated balance sheets. Debt securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.

Contingent consideration recorded within other current and other long-term liabilities represents the estimated fair value of future payments to the former shareholders as part of certain acquisitions. The contingent consideration is primarily based on the applicable acquired company achieving annual revenue and gross margin targets in certain years as specified in the relevant purchase and sale agreement. The Company initially values the contingent consideration on the acquisition date by using a Monte Carlo simulation or an income approach method. The Monte Carlo method models future revenue and costs of goods sold projections and discounts the average results to present value. The income approach method involves calculating the earnout payment based on the forecasted cash flows, adjusting the future earnout payment for the risk of reaching the projected financials, and then discounting the future payments to present value by the counterparty risk. The counterparty risk considers the risk of the buyer having the cash to make the earnout payments and is commensurate with a cost of debt over an appropriate term.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In addition, the Company accounts for uncertain tax positions that have reached a minimum recognition threshold.

14

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was $27.5$31.9 million and $2.9$27.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 32.2%33.9% and 21.5%32.2%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of U.S. legislation that became effective during the quarter limiting the deductibility of R&D and the benefit relating to foreign tax credits, and impact of Mutual Agreement Procedures ("MAP") resolution. The Company’s effective tax rate may change over time as the amount or mix of income and taxestax changes among the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to

tax. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the jurisdictional mix and the impact of unfavorable discrete items in the period.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, of approximately $24.3$50.9 million and $22.7$51.4 million, respectively, which, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, approximately $1.9$3.5 million and $1.8$3.1 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Penalties and interest of $0.4 million and $0.1 million were recorded in the provision for income taxes for unrecognized tax benefits during both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company has been subject to a tax examination in Germany for the years 2009 through 2012 whereby the German tax authorities had imposed additional tax assessments for those years. Due to the nature of the additional tax assessments, the Company filed for competent authority relief from those assessments under MAP of the United States-Germany income tax treaty. A final resolution has been reached with the respective tax authorities in Germany and the United States during the first quarter of 2022.

The Company files tax returns in the United States, which includes 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 20212022 are approximately 30.0%30.0% and 20.0%20.0% for Germany and Switzerland, respectively. The mix of earnings in those two jurisdictions resulted in an increase of 5.1%5.2% from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%21.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022.

On March 27, 2020 the House passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (The
CARES Act
), also known as the Third

Form 10-Q,
and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on

Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward lookingForward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the impact of

Non-GAAP

Measures

Although our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we believe describing revenue and expenses, excluding the effects of foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures, as well as certain other charges, net, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We rely internally on certain measures that are not calculated according to GAAP. These measures are organic revenue, free cash flow,

non-GAAP
gross profit margin and
non-GAAP
operating margin. 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. We define the term organic revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of foreign currency translation changes and the effect of acquisitions and divestitures. We define the term
non-GAAP
gross profit margin as GAAP gross profit margin with certain
non-GAAP
measures excluded and
non-GAAP
operating margin as GAAP operating margin with certain
non-GAAP
measures excluded. These
non-GAAP
measures exclude costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, costs associated with our global information technology transition initiative,initiatives, and other
non-operational
costs and we believe these are useful measures to evaluate our continuing business.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe 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. 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 may be different from
non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies.

2021.

We can experience

quarter-to-quarter
fluctuations in our operating results as a result of various factors, some of which are outside our control, such as:

the impact of the
COVID-19
global pandemic, inflation, and geopolitical tensions on our customers, supply chain or manufacturing capabilities;
the impact of certain weather-related disruptions, such as the recent flooding in Germany and other parts of Europe;
the timing of governmental stimulus programs and academic research budgets;
the time it takes between the date customer orders and deposits are received, systems are shipped and accepted by our customers and full payment is received;
foreign currency exchange rates;
the time it takes for us to receive critical materials to manufacture our products;
general economic conditions, including the impact of
COVID-19
or other factors on the global economy;
the time it takes to satisfy local customs requirements and other export/import requirements;
the time it takes for customers to construct or prepare their facilities for our products; and
the time required to obtain governmental licenses.

Several of these factors have in the past affected 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. The

COVID-19
pandemic continues to present a challenging operating environment andenvironment. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we remainhave been focused on fourand continue to focus on three key priorities: the health and safety of our employees, customers and partners; maintaining business continuity and service levels for our customers; executing prudent temporary cost reductions; and delivering enabling research and diagnostic products to help fight the pandemic, and to support other essential priorities of our society.

Health and safety of our valued employees, customers and partners

We have

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented strict social distancing, enhanced cleaning protocols and other preventative measures, such as temperature scanners and company-issued face coverings, in our major facilities.facilities to ensure the health and safety of our valued employees, customers and partners. While many of our office colleagues are workingworked remotely at the height of the pandemic and through subsequent surges, we are placingplaced enhanced focus on our service organization and factory employees for whom work from home iswas not feasible. Where customer sites arewere accessible and open, our field service organizations operateoperated under social distancing protocols with proper face coverings to ensure the safety of customer sites, when our employees needneeded to be on site. ManyConsistent with local government and health organization guidelines, many of our facilities have begunstarted a gradual return to planthe office for employees who have been working remotely during the pandemicremotely. As we continue to gradually return to the office. Employeemonitor developments and make appropriate adjustments, as needed, employee and visitor health and safety will remain our paramount concern.

Maintaining business continuity and service levels to our customers

Ensuring our ability to supply our enabling technologies and solutions and maintaining high service levels for our customers is another top priority for Bruker. In late March and during parts of April 2020, several of our manufacturing sites underwent temporary controlled shutdowns or were operating at reduced capacity to implement new safety protocols, comply with local rules, and manage cost and inventory levels. These sites thereafter ramped back up with expanding capacity and productivity levels. However, with any resurgence of the virus or the emergence of additional strains of the virus, particularly any new strains of the virus that are more resistant to existing vaccines, we may again need to consider further temporary controlled shutdowns or reduced capacity measures. In addition, we are continuing capital investments in production facilities for efficiencies and expansion. We continue to manage supply chain risks, more recently associated with the economic recovery from the pandemic likeand geopolitical tensions and, the worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips, components and components.

Executing prudent temporary cost reductions
In an effort to mitigate the negative impacts on our business of
COVID-19
and the related slowdown in the global economy, we implemented temporary cost control and cost reduction measures in 2020. These temporary measures included short-time work for many of our European operations, temporary tiered salary reductions for our board of directors, global leadership team and workforce,
one-to
two-week
closures of select manufacturing locations, selective product manufacturing reductions, a hiring freeze, and curtailment of
non-strategic
discretionary spending. At the same time, we looked to minimize the disruption for our employees and preserve our ability to ramp up again with our highly trained and loyal work force. While pursuing cost savings throughout the business, we have maintained our important investments in key strategic initiatives. Many of these cost reduction measures have now been relaxed and our revenue is experiencing a recovery.
raw materials, such as copper.

Delivering enabling research and diagnostic products to help fight the pandemic and to support other essential priorities of our society

Bruker is providing critical technologies and solutions to help combat the

COVID-19
crisis, pandemic, most notably our Microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics portfolio to which we have added
SARS-COV-2
PCR tests, and our nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry systems which are used in critical disease, therapeutic and vaccine research.

The

COVID-19
global pandemic has driven volatility and uncertainty in global markets and has in the past affected our operations significantly. We continue to work to manage the impact of
COVID-19
on our operations; however, the full extent to which any resurgence of the virus, the emergence of any new strains of the virus, or the availability and effectiveness of
COVID-19
vaccines will impact our business, directly or indirectly, cannot accurately be predicted at this time. In 2020, the
COVID-19
pandemic affected productivity at our manufacturing facilities and caused disruptions and delays in certain of our shipments to customers who closed facilities during the pandemic. We continue to monitor the impact of
COVID-19
on our business and our supply chain and respond accordingly. For additional information on the various risks posed by the
COVID-19
pandemic, refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors included in this report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: revenue recognition; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other related charges; income taxes, including the recoverability of deferred tax assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory reductions for excess and obsolete inventories; estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to measure the recoverability of long-lived assets; intangible assets and goodwill; expected future cash flows used to measure the recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets; warranty costs; derivative financial instruments; and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, current market and economic conditions, industry trends, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable and form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and those that require the most estimation and subjective judgment.

judgment:

Revenue recognition;
Income taxes;
Inventories;
Goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and
Business combinations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We anticipate that our existing cash and credit facilities will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future cash requirements could be affected by acquisitions that we may complete, repurchasespurchases of our common stock or the payment of dividends in the future. Historically, we have financed our growth and liquidity needs through cash flow generation from operations and a combination of debt financings and issuances of common stock. In the future, there are no assurances that we will continue to generate cash flow from operations or that additional financing alternatives will be available to us, if required, or if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to us.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 totaled $746.8$916.1 million and $731.8$1,168.2 million, respectively, of which $570.0$607.5 million and $514.9$646.9 million, respectively, related to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside of the U.S. in our foreign subsidiaries, most significantly in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Hong Kong.

items of $81.6 million, partially offset by a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures of $3.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to strategic inventory management to handle supply chain challenges, timing of tax payment payables partially offset by customer advances received during the period for related to new orders. Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted primarily from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cashitems of $93.7 million, in addition to a change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures of $4.3 million. The increase in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher payables and accrued liabilities as well as timing of income tax payables offset by improved inventory turnover within the same period of the prior year.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2019, our Board of Directors approved our share repurchase program (the “Repurchase“2019 Repurchase Program”) under which repurchases of common stock in the amount of up to $300.0 million were authorized to occur from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased 530,729 shares of common stock with an aggregate cost of approximately $32.8 million under the 2019 Repurchase Program. There were no purchases under the Repurchase Program in the three months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, $1.7 million remained for future purchase under the share repurchase plan. We completed the 2019 Repurchase Program in April 2021, after reaching the maximum cumulative spend. The

In May 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2021 Repurchase Program would have expiredProgram”) authorizing the purchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock over a two-year period from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased 1,603,055 shares of common stock with an aggregate cost of approximately $105.6 million under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

On December 31, 20207, 2021, we entered into a note purchase agreement to issue and sell CHF 300 million aggregate principal amount of 0.88% series A senior notes and EUR 150 million aggregate principal amount of 1.03% series B senior notes due December 8, 2031. We designated our CHF 300 million series A senior notes as a hedge in accordance with the tax reform legislation signed by the presidentour net investment in our Swiss Franc denominated net assets. We designated our EUR 150 million series B senior notes as a hedge in our net investment in our EUR denominated net assets. Proceeds of the United States on December 22, 2017, or the 2017 Tax Act, we recorded state and foreign withholding taxes, as well as subsequent foreign currency translations on these withholding taxes as they are an obligation of the parent company, on the cash and liquid assets portion of the unremitted earnings and profits (E&P) of foreign subsidiaries expected tonotes will be repatriated from our foreign subsidiaries to the United States. We continue to be indefinitely reinvested in the amount of $435.6 million of

non-cash
E&P that is subject to the 2017 Tax Act deemed repatriation. If this E&P is ultimately distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise we would likely be subject to additional withholding tax. We will continue to evaluate our assertions on the cumulative historical outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020. The amount of unrecognized deferred withholding taxes on the undistributed E&P was $62.9 million at December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $65.2 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce state taxable income that are expected to expire at various times beginning in 2021; approximately $104.0 million of net operating losses available to reduce German federal income and trade taxes that are carried forward indefinitely and $13.1 million of other foreign net operating losses that are expected to expire at various times beginning in 2021. We also had U.S. state research and development tax credits of $7.1 million. Utilization of these credits and state net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations due to the ownership percentage change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and similar state provisions. In the event of a deemed change in control under Code Section 382, an annual limitation on the utilization of net operating losses and credits may result in the expiration of all or a portion of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards.
Uncertain tax contingencies are positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return that may result in additional payments to tax authorities. If a tax authority agrees with the tax position taken or expected to be taken or the applicable statute of limitations expires, then additional payments will not be necessary.
Credit Facilities
used for general corporate purposes.

On December 11, 2019, we entered into (1) a new revolving credit agreement to establish a new revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million; (2) a term loan agreement to establish a new term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million; and (3) a note purchase agreement to issue and sell CHF 297 million aggregate principal amount of 1.01% senior notes due December 11, 2029. Floating interest rates under the term loan were simultaneously fixed through cross-currency and interest rate swap agreements into Euro ($150 million) and Swiss Franc ($150 million) rates carrying average effective interest rates of 0.94% and hedge our net investment in our Euro and Swiss Franc denominated net assets. The new revolving credit agreement replaced our $500 million five-year revolving credit agreement established on October 27, 2015, that was terminated on December 11, 2019.

In addition, we designated our CHF 297 million senior notes as a hedge in our net investment in our Swiss Franc denominated net assets. Proceeds from this financing were used to repay the outstanding borrowings under our prior 2015 revolving credit facility and we intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes and to support corporate strategic objectives. During December 2019, we entered into U.S. Dollar to Euro cross-currency swaps on our existing 2012 private placement notes of $105 million of 4.31% Series 2012A Senior Notes, Tranche C, duerepaid in January 18, 2022, and the existing $100 million of 4.46% Series 2012A Senior Notes, Tranche D, due January 18, 2024, resulting in an average effective interest rate of 2.25% on these instruments. The cross-currency swaps hedge our net investment in our Euro denominated net assets.

As of March 31, 2022, we have several cross-currency and interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $149.3 million of U.S. to Swiss Franc and a notional value of $249.3 million of U.S. to Euro to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on portions of our Euro and Swiss Franc denominated net asset investments. As a result of entering into these interest rate and cross currency swap agreements, we reduced ourthe Company lowered net interest expense by $1.1 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022 and 2021, respectively. We anticipate these swap agreements will lower net interest expense in future years.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Information regarding recent accounting standard changes and developments is incorporated by reference from Part I, Item 1, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, of this document and should be considered an integral part of this Item 2.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

33


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are potentially exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency translation rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We selectively use financial instruments to reduce these risks. All transactions related to risk management techniques are authorized and executed pursuant to our policies and procedures. Analytical techniques used to manage and monitor foreign currency translation and interest rate risk include market valuations and sensitivity analyses.

analysis.

Foreign Currency Risk

We generate a substantial portion of our revenues in international markets, principally Germany and other countries in the European Union, Switzerland and Japan, which exposes our operations to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of currency exchange rate movement can be positive or negative in any period. Our costs related to sales in foreign currencies are largely denominated in the same respective currencies, reducing our transaction risk exposure. However, for foreign currency denominated sales in certain regions, such as Japan, where we do not incur significant costs denominated in Japanese Yen, we are more exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

For sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we would have received before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our prices not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. For example, if the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Japanese Yen, our Japanese-based competitors would have a greater pricing advantage over us.

Changes in foreign currency translation rates increased our revenue by 6.2% and decreased our revenue by 1.2%4.2% and increased our revenue 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using

period-end
exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. For the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, we recorded net lossesgains (losses) from currency translation adjustments of $19.5$(9.4) million and $13.0$(19.5) million, respectively. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported in interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
The impact of currency exchange rate movement can be positive or negative in any period.

We periodically enter into foreignforward currency contracts in order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in currency translation have on our monetary transactions. Under these arrangements, we typically agree to purchase a fixed amount of a foreign currency in exchange for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other currencies on specified dates with maturities of less than twelve months, with some agreements extending to longer periods. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, the instrument is recorded at fair value with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, we have several cross-currency and interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $150.0$149.3 million of U.S. Dollardollar to Swiss Franc and a notional value of $355.0$249.3 million of U.S. dollar to Euro to hedge the variability in the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on portions of our Euro and Swiss Franc denominated net asset investments. Under the GAAP hedge accounting guidance, changes in fair value of the derivative that relates to changes in the foreign currency spot rate are recorded in the currency translation adjustment in comprehensive income (loss) and remain in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity until the sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign operation. The difference betweenFor the interest rate receivedthree months ended March 31, 2022 and paid under2021, we recorded net gains from the interest rate cross-currency swap derivativechanges in fair value of the derivatives of $12.1 million and net losses of $27.7 million, respectively.

On December 7, 2021, we entered into a note purchase agreement, referred to as the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, with a group of institutional accredited investors. Pursuant to the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold CHF 300 million aggregate principal amount of 0.88% series A senior notes and EUR 150 million aggregate principal amount of 1.03% series B senior notes due December 8, 2031. We designated our CHF 300 million series A senior notes as a hedge in our net investment in our Swiss Franc denominated net assets. We designated our EUR 150 million series B senior notes as a hedge in our net investment in our Euro denominated net assets. Accordingly, the change in fair value of the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement is recorded in interestother comprehensive income within derivatives designated as hedging instruments, net of tax.

34


On December 11, 2019, we entered into a note purchase agreement, referred to as the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, with a group of institutional accredited investors. Pursuant to the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold CHF 297 million aggregate principal amount of 1.01% senior notes due December 11, 2029. We designated our CHF 297 million senior notes as a hedge in our net investment in our Swiss Franc denominated net assets. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated statementschange in fair value of the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement is recorded in other comprehensive income within derivatives designated as hedging instruments, net of tax.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and comprehensive income.

2021, we recorded net gains (losses) from the changes in fair value, net of tax, of the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement of $9.0 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

From time to time, we have entered into forward currencyexchange contracts designed to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in foreign currency have on our cash flows related to purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. Under these arrangements, we agree to purchase a fixed amount of a foreign currency in exchange for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other currencies on specified dates typically with maturities of less than twelve months with some agreements extending to longer periods. These transactions are recorded at fair value with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had forward currencyforeign exchange contracts with notional amounts aggregating $131.3$116.2 million and $278.3$180.7 million, respectively. We will continue to evaluate our currency risks and in the future may utilize foreign currency contracts more frequently.

Interest Rate Risk

We regularly invest excess cash in short-term investments that are subject to changes in interest rates. We believe that the market risk arising from holding these financial instruments is minimal because of our policy of investing in short-term financial instruments issued by highly rated financial institutions.

Our exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is derived primarily from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market rates. We currently have a higher level of fixed rate debt than variable rate debt, which limits the exposure to adverse movements in interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to certain commodity risks associated with prices for various raw materials. The prices of copper and certain other raw materials, particularly

niobium-tin,
used to manufacture superconductors, have increased significantly over the last decade. Copper and
niobium-tin
are the main components of low temperature superconductors and continued commodity price increases for copper and niobium, as well as other raw materials, may negatively affect our profitability. Periodically, we enter into commodity forward purchase contracts to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in the price of copper have on our sales of these products. At March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $5.8$7.2 million and $8.8$5.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the fixed price commodity contracts at March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $3.8$0.7 million and $3.1$0.4 million, respectively. As commodity contracts settle, gains (losses) as a result of changes in fair values are adjusted to the contracts with the customers through revenues. We will continue to evaluate our commodity risks and may utilize commodity forward purchase contracts more frequently in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021.2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021.

2022.

Management concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q
fairly present,state, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including, but not limited to, patent and commercial matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no such matters pending that we currently believe are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our business or to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On September 25, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss AG (Zeiss), sued Luxendo GmbH (Luxendo), a subsidiary of Bruker Corporation, for infringement of a recently registered German utility model patent licensed to Zeiss pertaining to one specific Luxendo product category. Zeiss is seeking injunctive relief, an accounting, indemnification for damages resulting from infringement, and other, related remedies. We are vigorously defending against this claim.

On September 23, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Micromass UK Limited (Micromass), a subsidiary of Waters Corporation, sued Bruker Corporation, as well as its affiliate, Bruker Daltonik GmbH, for infringement of a European patent pertaining to our timsTOF product line. Bruker was later notified that Micromass had expanded its complaint in Düsseldorf to assert another recently granted European patent in Germany. On March 5, 2021, the parties entered into a Patent License Agreement pursuant to which Bruker licensed certain patents from Micromass and agreed to pay a one-time, upfront $4.0 million payment in the second quarter of 2021 and agreed to pay royalties, subject to a quarterly minimum, on certain TimsTOF systems commencing March 1, 2022. In addition, pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, all claims between the parties in connection with this and other pending infringement matters were settled and dismissed with prejudice. The settlement of this matter did not and is not expected to materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

In addition, we are subject to regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the United States and other countries in which we operate. From time to time, we are the subject of governmental investigations often involving regulatory, marketing and other business practices. These governmental investigations may result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings, fines, penalties and administrative remedies which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.

ITEM IA.
RISK FACTORS

ITEM IA. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form

10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2021 may be adversely affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic.
The impact of the worldwide
COVID-19
pandemic has been and will likely continue to be extensive in many geographies and aspects of society. The pandemic has resulted in and will likely continue to result in disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses, supply chains and capital markets around the world.
Impacts to our business included temporary closures in 2020 of many of our government and university customers and our suppliers, disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ and customers’ ability to travel, and delays in product installations or shipments to and from affected countries. In an effort to halt the outbreak of
COVID-19,
a number of countries, including the United States, have implemented and continue to implement significant restrictions on travel, shelter in place or stay at home orders, and business closures. While some of these restrictions are loosening in certain jurisdictions, some markets have returned to restrictions in the face of increases in new
COVID-19
cases or new strains of the virus. A number of states, including California, Massachusetts and New Jersey where we have significant operations, have implemented phased
re-opening
policies as vaccines to protect against the virus continue to be administered. However, many of our employees in these areas continue to work remotely, and any
re-openings
may be delayed or pulled back if the virus continues to spread or as new strains of the virus emerge, in particular if existing vaccines are determined to be less effective against these new strains than against earlier strains. In addition, a number of our production facilities had to either temporarily close or operate on a reduced capacity in 2020. Much of the commercial activity in sales and marketing, and customer demonstrations and applications training, is still either being conducted remotely or postponed. Many customer purchasing departments are still operating at reduced capacity, and many customers could delay or cut capital expenditures and operating budgets due to ongoing pandemic-related concerns. Even where customers have
re-opened
their sites, many still operate at productivity levels that are below
pre-pandemic
levels in an effort to accommodate safety
30

protocols. Any resurgence of the virus or the emergence of new strains of the virus, particularly any new strains which are resistant to existing vaccines, may require us or our customers to close or partially close operations once again. These travel restrictions, business closures and operating reductions at Bruker, our customers, our distributors, and/or our suppliers have and may continue to adversely impact our operations worldwide, including our ability to manufacture, sell or distribute our products, as well as cause temporary closures of our foreign distributors, or the facilities of suppliers or customers. Global supply chains, including for semiconductor chips and other component products, have been disrupted causing shortages, which could impact our ability to manufacture or supply our products. This disruption of our employees, distributors, suppliers or customers has and may continue to impact our global sales and future operating results. We anticipate that the
COVID-19
pandemic and challenges to our customers’ and our own operations may continue to have a negative impact on our second quarter 2021 financial results.
We are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our commercial operations, including its continued impact on our revenue in 2021. However, we cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will ultimately have on our operations due to uncertainties relating to the severity of the disease, including the impact of any resurgence of the virus, the continued emergence of new strains of the virus, the effectiveness and availability of vaccines, the willingness of individuals to receive vaccines, (including to protect against any new strains of the virus), and the length or severity of the travel restrictions, business closures, and other safety and precautionary measures imposed by the governments of impacted countries. The pandemic has also adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries, which has affected and likely may continue to affect demand for the Company’s products and its operating results.
There have been no other material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
