Corporation

Dear Fellow Bruker Shareholders,

Bruker reported another successful year of
top-line growth in 2012, generating organic
revenue growth of  11.9%, which significantly
outpaced the overall growth of the life  science
tools market. Over the past three years, we have
averaged 11.3% organic revenue growth,  which is
a testament to our strong innovation capabilities
and our focus on addressing the needs of our
customers.

We  have been able to sustain our innovation
engine and grow faster than our competitors by
consistently launching differentiated products
and by entering adjacent markets.  Our rapid
growth both in 2012 and over the past  three
years has come during a time when we have
faced challenging market and economic
conditions. These challenges have included the
end of stimulus spending, the European
economic malaise, the uncertainty of NIH
funding in the United States, and a slowdown
from applied and industrial customers.

Despite these headwinds, our business  in Europe
and from academic/non-profit markets has  held
up well, and the funding for scientific research
continues to grow in most countries globally. We
launched more than 30 new products  in 2012,
many of which saw a rapid uptake, and more
than offset the challenges we faced in the
market.

While we were pleased with our robust top-line
growth in 2012, we recognize that we need  to
improve our operating leverage and generate
higher and more consistent profitability and cash
flow. Our 2012 non-GAAP operating margin of
12.2% benefited from a $15.7 million licensing
deal, and increased modestly from 11.9% in
2011, but remains behind many peers  and  our
own aspirations. Additionally, in 2012 we
generated approximately $60 million in free cash
flow, another metric that we wish to  improve
going forward.

Leadership & Operational Changes

During the course of 2012, we made  a number
of important organizational changes and began
to implement initiatives that will improve both
our  efficiency and  the profitability and  cash flow

of the  Company. We strengthened our  leadership
team; rolled out a  new  organizational  structure;
implemented new management processes; and
invested in operational excellence and new IT
systems.

As part of our organizational changes, in
September 2012 we consolidated ten separate
divisions of our Bruker Scientific Instruments
(BSI) segment into three Groups: Bruker
BioSpin, Bruker CALID and Bruker MAT.  We
also appointed new Group Presidents  for Bruker
CALID and Bruker MAT. Additionally, we
named Charles Wagner  as Executive Vice
President &  Chief  Financial Officer on  July 1,
2012 to add important leadership in helping  us
improve our finance  and administrative
operations, with  the goals of  increasing our
operating margins, cash  flow and shareholder
value.

In addition to the leadership changes, we took
several decisions to improve our future
operational performance. These include:

1. We will close our Chemical & Applied

Markets (CAM) division’s European
manufacturing and R&D operations in
2013, and consolidate these activities
into our Fremont,  California facility.

2. We will cease  certain  R&D and

manufacturing activities in our Bruker
Energy & Supercon Technologies
(BEST) segment in 2013, and expect to
greatly reduce one of our German
production facilities.

3. We are beginning to outsource certain
non-core manufacturing activities to
third-party contract manufacturing
partners in our Bruker BioSpin Group.

4. We have divested our non-core thermal
analysis business in Japan to  a strategic
buyer.

5.

In the first quarter of 2013, our  Bruker
BioSpin Group divested its non-core
Power Electronics business located in
France to a strategic buyer.

(cid:2) Bruker 

Corporation

As a result of these and other anticipated 2013
operational excellence initiatives, we  expect  to
incur $20 to $25 million in restructuring costs
during 2013. We also expect that 150  employees
will exit the organization or be transferred to
third party partners in 2013. While further
optimization of the company is expected  to  be
carried out over several years, the key message is
that we have begun to execute initiatives that
will help us to lower our costs and working
capital, and drive profitable growth and cash
flow in the future.

2013 Outlook

As we look ahead to 2013, we expect that we
will be faced with a ‘‘mixed’’ market
environment. While industrial markets appear to
be stabilizing and academic markets outside of
the United States remain mostly solid,  we see
weakness in markets such as the semiconductor
and data storage industries, the applied markets,
and continued uncertainty in U.S.  academic
markets. Additionally, we anticipate that  a
meaningful portion of our growth and
profitability will be skewed toward the back-half
of the year, so we are taking a somewhat
cautious start to what is sure to be a  very busy
year.

A key focus in 2013 will be establishing the  right
balance between top-line growth and margin
improvement. Our goal is to ensure that our
growth is leading to value creation within
Bruker. As part of this endeavor, I have
established three clear priorities for 2013:

First, improving our operating leverage and
successfully executing initiatives that help us to
lower our costs and working capital is far  and
away  my highest priority in 2013. While we  have
already launched several initiatives to  help  us
toward this endeavor, we intend to accelerate
these efforts and decisions during the course of
the year.

Second, we aim to turnaround the financial
performance of our CAM division  within our
Bruker CALID Group,  which reported a
$27 million operating loss  in 2012. We have
made considerable investments to upgrade the
products and the portfolio, and in 2013 we
expect to see a meaningful  reduction in  this
operating  loss.

Third, we intend to successfully implement
performance management systems that provide
management with better visibility into the
business. This applies not only to our financial
systems, but to all aspects of our business  as we
move Bruker toward global processes  and
systems  that provide us better information to
optimize  our performance.

So, I will conclude my comments by  stating  that
Bruker’s core strengths are innovation and
strong customer relationships. We expect to
build on these strengths and continue our track
record of launching exciting new products. We
enter 2013 with a healthy backlog, a  strong
market position and a focus on ensuring that our
revenue growth is profitable.

We are excited about the potential to  make
Bruker an even stronger and more successful
company. I want to thank our customers,  our
employees, our shareholders, and our partners
for their loyalty and support.

Sincerely,

1APR200406382156

Frank H. Laukien, Ph.D.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTE: We reference certain non-GAAP measures  in our
shareholder letter. A reconciliation of these  non-GAAP
measures to our reported GAAP results can be found  at the
end of this report.

Scientific Instruments Segment

Bruker BioSpin systems integrate a radio frequency source and transmitter, one or more sensitive
detectors, a magnet sized for the particular application, and  operating and analysis software to acquire
and analyze radio frequency signatures that  are given off when a molecule is  placed  in a magnetic field.
These systems address many of the matter characterization needs of  the  pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries and also have applications  in advanced materials  research,  materials analysis,
and quality control. During 2012, we launched a  number of new  products in the  Bruker BioSpin group,
including CMC-assist, the first NMR tool to enable seamless, integrated  routine workflow from
acquisition to molecular structure report  generation, WineScreener,  a  high-resolution Fourier Transform
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) based screening system  that delivers  rapid and cost efficient
quantitative targeted and non-targeted statistical analyses  of wine, and a  Nitrogen Liquefier accessory
that allows NMR customers to benefit  from significantly extended cryogenic maintenance intervals for
improved user convenience, increased flexibility for long-term experiments  and lower  cost of  ownership.
We  also made a number of extensions to our Prodigy product line  and  Avance console  architecture to
improve productivity and quality control. In addition, during 2012  we  acquired assets to enhance our
in-vivo imaging business.

Bruker BioSpin magnetic resonance systems  are based  on the following technology platforms:

(cid:129) NMR—Nuclear magnetic resonance;

(cid:129) MRI—Magnetic resonance imaging; and

(cid:129) EPR—Electron paramagnetic resonance.

NMR is a qualitative and quantitative analytical  technique that is used to determine the molecular

structure and purity of a sample. Molecules are placed in a magnetic field  and give  off a  radio
frequency, or rf, signature that is recorded by a sensitive  detector.  Analysis  software helps to determine
the molecular structure of the sample.  The  NMR technique is  used  in academia, pharmaceutical  and
biotechnology companies, and by other industrial users in life  science  and material science  research.

MRI is a process of creating an image from the manipulation of hydrogen atoms in a  magnetic

field. In the presence of an external magnetic field,  atoms will align with or against the external
magnetic field. Application of a radio  frequency  causes  the atoms  to  jump between high  and low  energy
states. MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, or  MRS, include many methods including  diffusion-
weighted, perfusion-weighted, molecular imaging, and contrast-enhance.  Customers  use our MRI
systems in pharmaceutical research, including metabonomics, to study a number  of diseases, including
degenerative joint diseases, oncology, and cardiovascular  disorders.

EPR is a process of absorption of microwave radiation by  paramagnetic ions or molecules with at
least  one unpaired electron that spins in the  presence of a  static magnetic field. EPR detects unpaired
electrons unambiguously, whereas other techniques can  only provide  indirect  evidence of their
presence. In addition, EPR can identify the paramagnetic species that  are detected, which present
information on the molecular structure near  the unpaired electron and give insight into dynamic
processes such as molecular motions or fluidity.  Our EPR  instruments  are used for  a wide range of
applications including advanced materials research, materials analysis, and quality  control.

The Bruker CALID mass spectrometry instruments address  a  wide range of life  sciences

applications. Mass spectrometry is the  method of choice for protein  primary  structure analysis,
including the determination of amino acid sequence and  post-translational modifications and protein
quantification. As a result, mass spectrometry is  an enabling technology  of  the expression proteomics
laboratory. Mass spectrometers are also increasingly used for  the discovery of peptide, protein, or
metabolite biomarkers and panels or patterns of biomarkers. These biomarkers can be used for toxicity
screening or to assess drug efficacy in pre-clinical trials in pharmaceutical drug development.  They are
also used in clinical research and validation studies in the emerging  field of protein molecular
diagnostics. Bruker CALID’s research, analytical, and  process analysis instruments are used in  both
research and industry as simple, rapid,  nondestructive,  and reliable  techniques for applications ranging
from basic sample identification and quality control to advanced  research. The spectrometry product
line is complemented by a range of sampling  accessories  and techniques to help  users find the  best
solution to analyze samples effectively.  During  2012, we launched a number  of new mass spectrometry
and chromatography products, including a new high-temperature  electrospray ion source to boost the
sensitivity of our mass spectrometers for environmental  analysis, food testing and forensics,  two new
high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole  mass spectrometers, new  products and
applications in our SCION series of gas chromatography-mass  spectrometry systems,  and enhancement
to our Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry, or  FTMS,  product line. We also  expanded the  Fourier
Transform Infrared (FT-IR) product line  with LUMOS, a fully automated FT-IR microscope that
combines high performance for visual inspection and infrared  spectral analysis of micro  samples with
high comfort in use.

The Bruker CALID group’s instruments are based on the  following  technology platforms:

(cid:129) MALDI-TOF—Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization  time-of-flight  mass spectrometry,

including tandem time-of-flight systems  (MALDI-TOF/TOF);

(cid:129) ESI-TOF—Electrospray ionization time-of-flight spectrometry, including tandem mass

spectrometry systems based on ESI-quadrupole-TOF  mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-q-TOF);

(cid:129) FTMS—Fourier transform mass spectrometry, including hybrid systems with a  quadrupole front

end (Q-q-FTMS);

7

(cid:129) ITMS—Ion trap mass spectrometry;

(cid:129) GC—Gas chromatography;

(cid:129) GC-MS—Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry systems utilizing single or triple-quadrupole

time-of-flight mass spectrometry;

(cid:129) LC-MS—Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems utilizing triple-quadrupole  time-of

flight mass spectrometry;

(cid:129) ICP-MS—Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry;

(cid:129) FT-IR—Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy;

(cid:129) NIR—Near-infrared spectroscopy; and

(cid:129) Raman—Raman spectroscopy.

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers utilize an ionization  process to analyze  solid  samples using a
laser that combines high sample throughput with high mass range  and  sensitivity. Our MALDI-TOF
mass spectrometers are particularly useful for  applications  in clinical diagnostics, environmental and
taxonomical research, and food processing and quality  control. Specific applications include:
oligonucleotide and synthetic polymer  analysis; protein  identification and  quantification;  peptide de
novo sequencing; determination of post-translational  modifications  of proteins; interaction proteomics
and protein function analysis; drug discovery  and  development; and fast body fluid and  tissue peptide
or protein biomarker detection. MALDI  mass spectrometry allows users to  classify and identify
microorganisms quickly and reliably with  minimal sample preparation efforts and life cycle costs. Our
MALDI Biotyper solution enables identification, taxonomical classification,  or dereplication  of
microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts,  and  fungi.

ESI-TOF mass spectrometers utilize an electrospray  ionization process to analyze liquid  samples.
This ionization process, which does not  dissociate the molecules, allows for rapid data acquisition and
analysis of large biological molecules.  ESI-TOF  mass  spectrometers are  particularly useful for:
identification, protein analysis and functional  complex analysis  in proteomics and  protein function;
molecular identification in metabonomics, natural product and drug metabolite analysis;  combinatorial
chemistry high throughput screening; and fast liquid  chromatography mass  spectrometry, or  liquid
chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), in drug discovery and development.

FTMS systems  utilize high-field superconducting magnets to offer the highest resolution, selectivity,

and mass accuracy currently achievable in mass  spectrometry. Our systems based on this technology
often eliminate the need for time-consuming separation  techniques in complex mixture analyses.  In
addition, our systems can fragment molecular ions to perform exact mass  analysis on all fragments to
determine molecular structure. FTMS systems  are particularly  useful for:  the study of structure and
function of biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, and natural  products; complex mixture  analysis
including body fluids or combinatorial libraries;  high-throughput proteomics and  metabonomics; and
top-down proteomics of intact proteins without the  need  for  enzymatic digestion  of  the proteins  prior
to analysis. We offer next-generation  hybrid  FTMS systems that  combine a  traditional external
quadrupole mass selector and hexapole collision cell with  a  high-performance FTMS  for further ion
dissociation, top-down proteomics  tools,  and  ultra-high resolution detection.

ITMS systems  collect all ions simultaneously, which improves sensitivity  relative to previous

quadrupole mass spectrometers. Ion trap mass  spectrometers are particularly useful for: sequencing  and
identification based on peptide structural analysis; quantitative liquid  chromatography mass
spectrometry; identification of combinatorial  libraries; and generally enhancing  the speed and efficiency
of the drug discovery and development process.

GC systems are used to separate volatile or  semi-volatile compounds  by separating them into
individual components using a temperature controlled gas chromatographer. In GC systems,  a sample is
introduced to the gas chromatographer and it passes through a chromatography column. The
chromatographer separates mixtures  into  individual components  and provides a quantitative analysis of
the components. Our GC systems can be utilized  in a variety of configurations and  are designed  to
enhance system efficiency and performance and  to  provide analysts with  flexibility in choosing  their
platform or customizing their system to meet their particular application need. Our GC systems are
particularly useful  for applications in petroleum, fuel and hydrocarbon  analysis, food and product safety
and forensics and environmental analysis.

GC-MS systems  combine the features of gas chromatography and mass  spectrometry to identify
different substances within a test sample. The  two components, used together, allow for a finer degree
of substance identification than either  system when  used  separately. The result is a quantitative analysis
of the components and the mass spectrum of each  component.  Our GC-MS  systems are  available  in
single and triple quadrupole configurations and can be configured  with a variety  of  options  to suit a
range of applications. Our GC-MS systems  have applications in food and  product  safety, forensics,
clinical and toxicology testing and environmental,  pharmaceutical and  chemical analysis.

LC-MS systems  combine the separation features  of  liquid chromatography with the  molecular
identification features of mass spectrometry to separate, identify  and quantify different  substances
within a test sample. As a complimentary technique  to  GC-MS, which  analyzes volatile compounds,
LC-MS can be used to analyze a wide range of non-volatile compounds in  complex samples.  Our
LC-MS systems are available in a wide range of configurations to suit a  user’s  specific needs. Although
primarily used for life science applications, our LC-MS systems also have applications in  food  and
product safety, forensics, clinical and toxicology testing, as well  as environmental, pharmaceutical  and
chemical analysis.

ICP-MS systems  utilize mass spectrometers combined with  a high-temperature inductively coupled

plasma source. The inductively coupled plasma source can convert solid and  liquid samples to ions
which are then separated and detected by  the mass spectrometer. ICP-MS is a fast and flexible
technique that offers advantages over more traditional techniques for elemental analysis. Our ICP-MS
systems are designed to provide high  performance and ease of use.  ICP-MS systems are used for both
routine analysis and research in a variety of areas including environmental,  geochemical and  food and
agriculture fields.

FT-IR mass spectrometers utilize the mid- and far-infrared regions of the  electromagnetic
spectrum. Our FT-IR systems are commonly used for various  quality control and materials research
applications.

NIR mass spectrometers utilize the near-infrared region of the  electromagnetic spectrum. Our NIR

instruments are primarily used for quality and process control  applications in the  pharmaceutical, food
and agriculture, and chemical industries. The pharmaceutical industry is the leading user of  NIR
instruments, and applications include quality control, research and development, and process analytical
technology. The food and agricultural industry is  the second largest user of NIR instrumentation, with
an increasing demand for food, forage, and beverage quality control.

Raman spectroscopy is the measurement of  the wavelength and intensity  of inelastically  scattered
light. The Raman scattered light occurs at  wavelengths  that  are  shifted  from the incident light by the
energies of molecular vibrations. Like infrared  spectroscopy (IR), the Raman spectrum provides
information on molecular structure. The mechanism of  Raman scattering is  different from  that  of
infrared absorption, in that Raman and IR spectra provide  complementary  information. Raman is
useful for the identification of both organic and inorganic compounds  and functional  groups. It is a
nondestructive technique, and can be used for the analysis of both liquids  and solids.  Raman is well
suited for use in the polymer and pharmaceutical industries, and  has applications in  the metals,
electronics, and semiconductors industries. The technique  also has  applications in life sciences,
forensics, and artwork authentication.

We also sell a wide range of portable  analytical and bioanalytical detection systems and  related

products for CBRNE detection. Our customers use these devices for nuclear, biological agent and
chemical agent defense applications,  anti-terrorism, law enforcement,  and process and facilities
monitoring. Our CBRNE detection products  use many  of  the same technology platforms as our life
science products, as well as additional technologies, including  infrared  stand-off detection and ion
mobility spectrometry, for handheld chemical  detectors.  We  also provide integrated, comprehensive
detection suites that include our multiple  detection systems, consumables, training, and simulators.

Bruker MAT’s X-ray systems integrate powerful detectors with  advanced  X-ray sources, computer-

controlled positioning systems, sample handling devices, and data collection and analysis software to
acquire, analyze and manage elemental and  molecular  information.  These integrated solutions address
many of the matter characterization and structure needs  of  the life science,  pharmaceutical,
semiconductor, raw materials, and research industries across a  broad range  of applications. During
2012, we introduced new MICRO products,  which are  X-ray scattering  systems for research,
development and quality control in bio-medical and  pharmaceutical applications,  the S1 TITAN
products, which are a series of lightweight handheld XRF tube-based analyzers, and X-ray and AFM
semiconductor metrology products to support the industry’s transition to larger wafer  production.  We
also introduced additional enhancements in our atomic force  microscopy  and stylus and optical
metrology platforms. In addition, during  2012 we  acquired an X-ray micro-computed tomography
business, expanding our X-ray imaging business to include  3D technology.

Bruker MAT systems are based on the following technology platforms:

(cid:129) XRD—Polycrystalline X-ray diffraction, often  referred  to  as X-ray  diffraction;

(cid:129) XRF—X-ray fluorescence, also called X-ray spectrometry,  including handheld XRF systems;

(cid:129) SC-XRD—Single crystal X-ray diffraction, often referred to as X-ray  crystallography;
(cid:129) (cid:2)CT—X-ray micro computed tomography;

(cid:129) EDS—Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy on electron microscopes;

(cid:129) EBSD—Electron backscatter diffraction on  electron  microscopes;

(cid:129) S-OES—Spark optical emission spectroscopy;

(cid:129) CS/ONH—Combustion analysis for carbon, sulfur, oxygen,  nitrogen, and hydrogen in solids;

(cid:129) AFM—Atomic force microscopy;

(cid:129) SOM—Stylus and optical metrology; and

(cid:129) TMT—Tribology and mechanical test systems for analysis  of friction and  wear.

XRD systems  investigate polycrystalline samples or thin films with single wavelength X-rays. The
atoms in the polycrystalline sample scatter  the X-rays to create a  unique diffraction pattern  recorded by
a detector. Computer software processes  the pattern and produces  a  variety  of  information, including
stress, texture, qualitative and quantitative  phase composition,  crystallite  size, percent crystallinity and
layer thickness, composition, defects, and density of thin films  and semiconductor material. Our XRD
systems contribute to a reduction in the  development cycles for  new  products in the  catalyst, polymer,
electronic, optical material, and semiconductor industries. Customers also  use our XRD systems  for
analyses in a variety of other fields, including  forensics, art, and archaeology.

XRF systems  determine the elemental composition of  a material and provide a full qualitative and
quantitative analysis. Our XRF systems direct X-rays at a sample, and the atoms in the sample absorb
the X-ray energy. The elements in the sample then emit X-rays that  are  characteristic for  each element.
The system collects the X-rays, and the software  analyzes the  resulting data to determine the elements

10

that are present. Our XRF products provide automated solutions on a turn-key basis for industrial
users that require automated, controlled  production processes that  reduce product and  process cost,
increase output, and improve product quality. Our XRF products cover substantially all of the  periodic
table and can analyze solid, powder, or liquid samples.

SC-XRD systems determine the three-dimensional structures of molecules in  a chemical, mineral,
or biological substance being analyzed.  SC-XRD systems have the capability to determine structure in
both small chemical molecules and larger biomolecules. SC-XRD systems direct an X-ray beam at a
solid, single crystal sample. The atoms in the  crystal  sample scatter the X-rays  to  create a  precise
diffraction pattern recorded by an electronic  detector.  Software then reconstructs  a model of the
structure and provides the unique arrangement of  the atoms in  the sample.  This information on the
exact arrangement of atoms in the sample  is a  critical  part of molecular analysis and can  provide
insight into a variety of areas, including how a protein  functions or  interacts with a second molecule.
Our SC-XRD systems are designed for use  in the life  sciences industry, academic research, and a
variety of other applications.

(cid:2)CT is X-ray imaging in 3D, by the same method used in  hospital CT scans, but on a  small scale

with massively increased resolution. 3D microscopy allows users to image  the internal structure of
objects non-destructively on a very fine scale. Bruker  (cid:2)CT is available in a range of easy-to-use desktop
instruments, which generate 3D images  of the sample’s morphology  and internal microstructure with
resolution down to the sub-micron level. Our  (cid:2)CT systems are used for numerous applications  in
materials research and in the life sciences industry.

EDS systems  analyze the chemical composition of materials  under investigation  in electron
microscopes by utilizing the fact that atoms of different chemical elements,  when exposed to the high
energy electron beam generated by the microscope,  irradiate X-rays of different, characteristic energy.
The evaluation of the energy spectrum collected by our spectrometer allows  the determination of the
qualitative and quantitative chemical  sample composition at  the current beam position. EDS systems
allow  for simultaneous analysis of all  elements in the periodic table, beginning with atomic  number 4
(beryllium). Our EDS systems are used for  a range of  applications, including nanotechnology and
advanced materials research, as well as  materials  analysis and quality control. Customers for  EDS
systems include industrial customers, academia, and government research facilities.

EBSD systems  are used to perform quantitative microstructure analysis of crystalline  samples  in
electron microscopes. The microscope’s electron  beam strikes  the tilted  sample  and diffracted electrons
form  a pattern on a fluorescent screen.  This pattern is  characteristic of the crystal structure and
orientation of the sample region from which it was generated. It provides the  absolute  crystal
orientation with sub-micron resolution. EBSD can  be  used  to  characterize materials with  regard to
crystal orientation, texture, stress, strain, and grain  size. EBSD also allows the identification of
crystalline phases and their distribution,  and  is applied to many industries such as metals processing,
aerospace, automotive, microelectronics,  and earth sciences.

S-OES instruments are used for analyzing metals. S-OES covers a broad range of applications  for

metals analysis from pure metals trace analysis to high  alloyed  grades,  and allow for analysis of a
complete range of relevant elements simultaneously. S-OES instruments pass an electric spark onto  a
sample, which burns the surface of the  sample and causes atoms to jump to a  higher orbit. Our
detectors quantify the light emitted by  these atoms and help our customers to determine  the elemental
composition of the material. This technique  is widely used in production control laboratories of
foundries and steel mills.

CS/ONH carrier gas systems incorporate a furnace and infrared or  thermal  conductivity detection
to analyze inorganic materials for the determination of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and  hydrogen.
Combustion and inert gas fusion analyzers are  used  for  applications in metal  production and
processing, chemicals, ceramics and cement,  coal processing and oil refining,  and semiconductors.

11

AFM systems  provide atomic or near-atomic resolution of material surface  topography using a

nano-scale probe that is brought into light contact with the  sample being investigated. In addition to
presenting a surface image, AFM can  also provide quantitative nano-scale measurements of feature
sizes, material properties, electrical information, chemical properties and other sample characteristics.
Our AFM systems are used for applications in materials  and biological research and semiconductor,
data storage hard drive, LED, battery, solar cells, polymers and pharmaceutical product  development
and manufacturing.

SOM systems  provide atomic or near-atomic two  dimensional  and three dimensional surface

resolution using white light interferometry, confocal optical  and  stylus profilometry methods. SOM
profilers range from low-cost manual tools for single measurements to advanced, highly automated
systems for production line quality assurance  and  quality control applications where the combination  of
throughput, repeatability and reproducibility is essential. SOM profilers  support  a range of applications
in research, product development, tribology, quality control and  failure analysis related to materials and
machining in the automotive, orthopedic, ophthalmic, high  brightness LED, semiconductor, data
storage, optics and other markets.

TMT systems  provide a platform for all types  of  common mechanical, friction, durability, scratch
and indentation tests for a wide spectrum of materials. Tribology systems are utilized for  both academic
research of the fundamental material properties  and industrial applications in the  semiconductor,
aerospace, petroleum, automotive and other  industries.

States for various projects related to  early-stage research and development. We  have generally retained,
at a minimum, non-exclusive rights to any items or enhancements we develop under these grants. The
German government requires that we use and  market  technology developed under grants in  order to
retain our rights to the technology. We have also accepted some sponsored research contracts from
private sources.

BEST maintains technical competencies in the  production and development of  low and  high
temperature superconducting materials and devices.

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property consists of patents, copyrights, trade secrets,  know-how, and trademarks.

Protection of our intellectual property is a  strategic priority for  our business because of the length of
time and expense associated with bringing new  products through  the development process and to the
marketplace. We have a substantial patent portfolio, and we  intend to file  additional patent applications
as appropriate. We believe our owned  and  licensed  patent  portfolio provides us with a competitive
advantage. This portfolio permits us to  maintain  access to  a  number of key  technologies. We license
our  owned patent rights where appropriate. We intend to enforce our  patent rights against  infringers, if
necessary. The patent positions of life sciences tools companies involve complex legal and factual
questions. As a result, we cannot predict the  enforceability  of  our patents with certainty. In addition,
we are aware of the existence from time to time of patents  in certain countries, which, if  valid, could
impair our ability to manufacture and sell  products in  these  countries.

We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, trademarks,  copyright protection, and licensing to

develop and maintain our competitive position. We  generally require the execution of  confidentiality
agreements by our employees, consultants,  and  other  scientific  advisors. These  agreements provide that
all confidential information made known during the  course of a relationship  with us will be held in
confidence and used only for our benefit. In addition, these agreements provide that we own all
inventions generated during the course  of  the relationship. Our management considers  Bruker, Bruker
Corporation, Bruker AXS, Bruker BioSpin, Bruker CAM, Bruker Daltonics, Bruker  Detection, Bruker
Elemental, Bruker MAT, Bruker Optics and Bruker Energy &  Supercon Technologies to be our
material trademarks.

Government Contracts

We are a party to various government contracts. Under some of these  government  contracts, the

government may receive license or similar  rights to intellectual  property developed under  the contract.
However, under government contracts we  enter we  generally  receive  no less than  non-exclusive  rights
to any items or technologies we develop. Although  we transact business with various government
agencies, we believe that no government contract  is of such magnitude that  a renegotiation of profits or
termination of the contract or subcontracts at  the election of the  government would  have a material
adverse effect on our financial results.

Government Regulation

We are required to comply with federal, state,  and local environmental protection regulations. We

do not expect this compliance to have a  significant impact  on our capital spending, earnings, or
competitive position.

Prior to introducing a product in the  U.S., our Bruker  AXS subsidiary  provides notice to the Food

and Drug Administration, or FDA, in the form  of a Radiation  Safety Abbreviated Report, which
provides identification information and operating  characteristics  of  the product. If the FDA  finds that
the report is complete, it provides approval  in the form  of  what is  known as an  accession  number.
Bruker AXS may not market a product  until it has received an accession number. In addition, Bruker
AXS submits an annual report to the FDA  that  includes the radiation safety  history of all products  it
sells  in the U.S. Bruker AXS is required to report to the FDA incidents of accidental exposure to
radiation arising from the manufacture,  testing, or  use of  any of its products. Bruker AXS  also reports
to state governments, which products it sells in their states. For sales in Germany, Bruker AXS registers
each  system with the local authorities. In  some countries  where Bruker AXS sells systems, Bruker  AXS

16

uses the license we obtained from the federal  authorities  in Germany to assist  it in  obtaining  a license
from the country in which the sale occurs. In addition, as indicated  above,  we are  subject to various
other foreign and domestic environmental,  health,  and  safety laws and regulations in  connection with
our  operations. Apart from these areas, we  are subject to the laws and regulations generally  applicable
to businesses in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our Bruker AXS subsidiary possesses low-level  radiation  materials licenses  from the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission for its facility in Madison, Wisconsin;  from  the local  radiation safety authority,
Gewerbeaufsichtsamt Karlsruhe, for  its facility in  Karlsruhe,  Germany;  and from  the local  radiation
safety authority, Kanagawa Prefecture, for its facility in Yokohama, Japan, as well  as from various other
countries in which it sells its products. Our Bruker Daltonics  subsidiary possesses low-level  radiation
licenses for facilities in Billerica, Massachusetts, and Leipzig, Germany. The U.S.  Nuclear Regulatory
Commission also has regulations concerning the  exposure of our  employees to radiation.

Internal Investigation and Compliance Matters

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of  Directors, assisted by

independent outside counsel and an independent forensic consulting  firm, conducted  an internal
investigation in response to anonymous communications received  by us  alleging improper conduct in
connection with the China operations of the Company’s Bruker  Optics subsidiary. The Audit
Committee’s investigation, which began  in 2011 and was completed  in the  first  quarter  of  2012,
included a review of compliance by Bruker Optics and its employees in China and  Hong  Kong with the
requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) and other  applicable laws and regulations.

The investigation found evidence indicating  that payments were made that improperly benefited
employees or agents of government-owned enterprises in China  and Hong  Kong. The investigation also
found evidence that certain employees of Bruker  Optics in  China and Hong Kong failed  to  comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct. As a result, we took  personnel actions, including the
termination of certain individuals. We also terminated our business relationships  with certain third
party agents, implemented an enhanced  FCPA compliance  program, and strengthened the financial
controls and oversight at our subsidiaries operating  in China  and Hong  Kong. During 2011,  we also
initiated a review of the China operations of our  other subsidiaries,  with the  assistance of  an
independent audit firm. On the basis of the review conducted to date, we have  identified additional
employees in our subsidiaries operating in China who failed to comply with our policies and  standards
of conduct, and have taken additional personnel actions  at certain of our  subsidiaries  as a result. The
review is ongoing and no conclusions can be drawn at this  time as to its final outcome.

We voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission  and the  United
States Department of Justice in August 2011 to advise both agencies of the  internal investigation by the
Audit Committee regarding the China  operations of our  Bruker Optics  subsidiary.  In  October 2011,  we
also reported the existence of that internal  investigation to the  Hong  Kong Joint Financial Intelligence
Unit and Independent Commission Against Corruption (‘‘ICAC’’). We have cooperated with  the
United States federal agencies and Hong  Kong government authorities with respect to their inquiries
and have provided documents and/or  made witnesses available in  response  to  requests from the
governmental authorities reviewing this matter. We intend to continue  to  cooperate with these agencies
in connection with their inquiries. At this  time we cannot reasonably  assess the timing or  outcome of
these matters or their effect, if any, on our business.

The FCPA and related statutes and regulations provide for potential  monetary penalties as well as

criminal and civil sanctions in connection with FCPA violations. It is possible that monetary penalties
and other sanctions could be assessed by the U.S. Federal government  in connection with these
matters. Additionally, to the extent any  payments are determined to be illegal by local government
authorities, civil or criminal penalties may be assessed by such  authorities and  our  ability  to  conduct

17

business in that jurisdiction may be negatively impacted. At this time, we cannot predict  the extent to
which the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’), the Department of Justice (‘‘DOJ’’), the
ICAC or any other governmental authorities will pursue administrative, civil injunctive or criminal
proceedings, the imposition of fines or penalties or  other  remedies or  sanctions. Given the  current
status of the inquiries from these agencies, we cannot reasonably  estimate the possible loss or range  of
possible loss that may result from any proceedings  that may be commenced  by  the SEC, the DOJ, the
ICAC or any other governmental authorities. Accordingly, no provision with respect  to  such matters
has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any adverse findings or
other negative outcomes from any such proceedings  could  have a  material impact on our consolidated
financial statements in future periods.

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, $11.1  million and $4.3 million, respectively,

was recorded for legal and other professional services  incurred related to the internal investigation of
these matters.

Working Capital Requirements

There are no credit terms extended to  customers that  would  have a material  adverse  effect on our

working capital.

We typically recognize revenue from  system sales upon customer acceptance. To  effectively operate

our  business, we are required to hold a significant number of systems  that  have been shipped to
customers but are not yet accepted by the  customer, or  finished goods in-transit.  As a  result, a
significant percentage of our inventory  represents  finished  goods in-transit. Finished goods in-transit
were $93.9 million and $116.8 million at December 31,  2012  and 2011, respectively. We also  have
well-equipped application and demonstration facilities and qualified application personnel who assist
customers and provide product demonstrations in specific application areas.  In total,  we held
$55.0 million and $56.0 million of demonstration inventory at December  31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively.

Backlog

Our backlog consists of firm orders under  non-cancellable  purchase orders received from

customers. Total system backlog at December 31, 2012  and  2011 was $1,035.4 million and
$1,086.5 million, respectively. We anticipate that  approximately 80% of the backlog  as of December 31,
2012 will be filled in 2013. We experience variable and fluctuating revenues in the  first  three quarters
of the year, while our fourth quarter  revenues have historically been  stronger than the rest of the year.
As a result, backlog on any particular date can  be  indicative of our short-term  revenue performance,
but is not necessarily a reliable indicator of long-term  revenue performance.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we  had  approximately  6,400 and 6,000 full-time employees
worldwide, respectively. Of these employees,  approximately 1,200  and 1,100 were located in the  United
States as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our  employees in the United States are  not
unionized or affiliated with any labor organizations.  Employees based  outside  the U.S.  are primarily
located in Europe. Several of our international subsidiaries are parties  to contracts with  labor unions
and workers’ councils. We believe that we  have good relationships with  our employees and the workers’
councils.

As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 3,070  employees  in production and distribution,

1,560 employees in selling and marketing and 1,090  employees  in research and development.  As of
December 31, 2011, we had approximately 2,930  employees in production and distribution, 1,420
employees in selling and marketing and  1,000 employees  in research and  development.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas  and Segments

Financial information about our geographic areas and  segments may be found  in Note  20 to our

Financial Statements in this annual report on  Form 10-K, included as part of Item 8  to  this  report,
which includes information about our revenues from external customers, measure  of  profit and total
assets by reportable segment.

Available  Information

Our website is located at www.bruker.com. We make available free of charge through this website
our  annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports  on Form 10-Q, current  reports on  Form 8-K, and
amendments to those reports filed with or  furnished to the SEC  pursuant  to  Section 13(a)  or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as soon as  reasonably  practicable
after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the  other information  included in

this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report may  include forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. In addition to those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this report, we identify  the
following risk factors, which could affect our actual results and  cause actual  results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements.

We could be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign  Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other laws and
regulations, including foreign laws.

As a result of our international operations, we are  subject to compliance  with various laws and
regulations, including the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws in  the jurisdictions in  which we  do business,
which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries or agents from engaging in  bribery or
making improper payments to foreign officials or their agents. The FCPA also requires proper record
keeping and characterization of such payments in our reports  filed with  the SEC. Despite maintaining
policies and procedures that require our  employees to comply with  these laws  and our standards  of
ethical conduct, we cannot ensure that these policies  and procedures will  always protect us from
intentional, reckless or negligent acts committed by our employees or agents.

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, assisted by independent

outside counsel and an independent forensic consulting firm, conducted an internal investigation in
response to anonymous communications  received  by the Company  alleging improper conduct  in
connection with the China operations of the Company’s Bruker  Optics subsidiary. The Audit
Committee’s investigation, which began  in 2011 and was completed  in the  first  quarter  of  2012,
included a review of compliance by Bruker Optics and its employees in China and  Hong  Kong with the
requirements of the FCPA and other applicable laws and regulations.

The investigation found evidence indicating  that payments were made that improperly benefited
employees or agents of government-owned enterprises in China  and Hong  Kong. The investigation also
found evidence that certain employees of Bruker  Optics in  China and Hong Kong failed  to  comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct. As a result, we took  personnel actions, including the
termination of certain individuals. We also terminated our business relationships  with certain third
party agents, implemented an enhanced  FCPA compliance  program, and strengthened the financial
controls and oversight at our subsidiaries operating  in China  and Hong  Kong. During 2011,  we also
initiated a review of the China operations of our  other subsidiaries,  with the  assistance of  an
independent audit firm. On the basis of the review conducted to date, we have  identified additional
employees in our subsidiaries operating in China who failed to comply with our policies and  standards

19

of conduct, and have taken additional personnel actions  at certain of our  subsidiaries  as a result. The
review is ongoing and no conclusions can be drawn at this  time as to its final outcome.

We voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission  and the  United
States Department of Justice in August 2011 to advise both agencies of the  internal investigation by the
Audit Committee regarding the China  operations of our  Bruker Optics  subsidiary.  In  October 2011,  we
also reported the existence of that internal  investigation to the  Hong  Kong Joint Financial Intelligence
Unit and ICAC. We have cooperated with  the United States federal agencies and Hong Kong
government authorities with respect to  their  inquiries  and  have provided documents and/or made
witnesses available in response to requests from the  governmental authorities reviewing  this matter.
The Company intends to continue to  cooperate with these agencies in connection  with their inquiries.
At this time we cannot reasonably assess the timing or  outcome  of  these matters  or their  effect, if any,
on the Company’s business.

The FCPA and related statutes and regulations provide for potential  monetary penalties as well as

criminal and civil sanctions in connection with FCPA violations. It is possible that monetary penalties
and other sanctions could be assessed by the Federal government in connection with these matters.
Additionally, to the extent any payments are determined to  be  illegal by local government authorities,
civil or criminal penalties may be assessed by such authorities  and the Company’s ability  to  conduct
business in that jurisdiction may be negatively impacted. At this time, the  Company cannot predict  the
extent to which the SEC, the DOJ, the ICAC or  any  other governmental  authorities will pursue
administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings, the imposition  of fines or  penalties  or other
remedies or sanctions. These inquiries also  could  result in regulatory proceedings, and  thus potentially
adverse findings, that could require us  to  pay  damages or  penalties or have  other  remedies imposed
upon us. In addition, it is possible that the  findings and outcome of  any of these inquiries and any
subsequent regulatory proceedings could result  in other lawsuits  being brought against  the Company
and its officers and directors. Additionally, to the extent any payments are determined  to  be illegal by
Hong Kong or other local government authorities,  civil or criminal  penalties may be assessed  by  such
authorities and our ability to continue to conduct business in that  jurisdiction  may be negatively
impacted. Thus, any adverse findings or  other  negative outcomes in  any of  these  inquiries could
adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial  position  and cash flows, and
ultimately our stock price.

Unfavorable economic or political conditions in the countries in  which we  operate  may have an adverse
impact on our business results or financial condition.

Our business and results of operations  are affected by  international, national and regional

economic and political conditions. Many of the countries in  which we operate, including  particularly the
United States and countries in Europe, have experienced and  continue to experience uncertain
economic conditions. Our business or  financial  results may be adversely  impacted by unfavorable
changes in economic or political conditions in  these countries,  including adverse changes  in interest
rates or tax rates, volatile financial and commodity  markets,  contraction  in the availability of  credit in
the marketplace, and changes in capital  spending  patterns.

Our revenue from U.S. operations represented approximately 21% and 19% of total  consolidated

revenue for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Our revenue from  operations in  Europe  represented
39% and 41% of total consolidated revenue for the corresponding periods. Our revenue  from
operations in the Asia Pacific region represented 32%  and  30%  of  total consolidated revenue  for the
respective periods. If economic growth in the U.S.  and  other countries slows  or does  not  improve,
current economic conditions in Europe  do  not  improve or deteriorate further, or  if  the level of
government funding for scientific research is reduced,  our current or potential  customers may  delay or
reduce purchases which could, in turn, result in reductions  in sales of our products, materially and
adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flows.

20

Continued volatility and disruption of global  financial markets  could limit  our  customers’ ability  to

obtain adequate financing to maintain  operations and proceed with  planned or new capital spending
initiatives, leading to a reduction in sales volume that could materially  and adversely  affect our results
of operations and  cash flow. Continuation of an economic downturn  may also lead  to  increased pricing
pressure for our products and services and  a reduction  in our operating  margins and profitability. In
addition, a decline in our customers’  ability to pay as  a result  of a slow-down  in the general global or
local economy may lead to increased difficulties in the  collection of our accounts receivable,  higher
levels of reserves for doubtful accounts and  write-offs  of accounts receivable,  and higher operating costs
as a percentage of  revenues. We cannot predict how  current or worsening economic conditions or
political instability will affect our customers and  suppliers or how any  negative  impact  on our customers
and suppliers might adversely impact our business results or  financial  condition.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue  from  international sales and  are subject to  the risks of doing
business in foreign countries.

International sales account and are expected to continue to account for a significant portion of our
total revenues. Our revenue from non-U.S. operations represented approximately 79% and 81%  of our
total consolidated revenue for fiscal 2012 and  2011, respectively. Our  international  operations are, and
will continue to be, subject to a variety  of risks  associated with  conducting  business  internationally,
many of which are beyond our control.  These risks, which  may  adversely affect our  ability to achieve
and maintain profitability and our ability  to  sell our products internationally, include:

(cid:129) changes in foreign currency exchange  rates;

(cid:129) changes in regulatory requirements;

(cid:129) legislation and regulation, including tariffs,  relating to the  import or export of high  technology

products;

(cid:129) the imposition of government controls;

(cid:129) political and economic instability, including international  hostilities, acts  of  terrorism  and

governmental restrictions, inflation, trade  relationships and military and political alliances;

(cid:129) costs and risks of deploying systems in foreign  countries;

(cid:129) compliance with export laws and controls  in multiple  jurisdictions;

(cid:129) limited intellectual property rights; and

(cid:129) the burden of complying with a wide variety of complex  foreign laws and treaties,  including

unfavorable labor regulations, specifically those applicable to our European operations, as well
as U.S. and local laws affecting the activities  of U.S.  companies abroad, including  the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery  laws.

While the impact of these factors is difficult to predict,  any one or more of these factors  could

adversely affect our operations in the future.

We may lose money  when we exchange foreign currency received from international sales into  U.S.  dollars.

A significant portion of our business is conducted  in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is

our  reporting currency. As a result, currency  fluctuations among the U.S. dollar and the currencies in
which we do business have caused and will continue to cause  foreign currency transaction gains and
losses. In addition, currency fluctuations could cause the price  of our  products to be more  or less
competitive than our principal competitors’  products. Currency fluctuations will increase or  decrease
our  cost structure relative to those of our competitors, which could lessen the  demand for  our products
and affect our competitive position. We  cannot predict the effects of exchange  rate fluctuations upon

21

our  future operating results because of the number of currencies involved, the variability  of  currency
exposures and the potential volatility  of  currency  exchange  rates. From time to time we enter into
certain hedging transactions and/or option and foreign currency  exchange contracts which  are intended
to offset some of the market risk associated  with our sales denominated in foreign currencies. We
cannot predict the effectiveness of these transactions or their  impact upon our future  operating results,
and from time to time they may negatively affect  our  quarterly earnings.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Our exposure to currency exchange rate  fluctuations results  primarily  from the currency translation

exposure associated with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and from the
exposure associated with transactions  of  our  subsidiaries  that are denominated in a currency other than
the respective subsidiary’s functional  currency. While  our financial results are  reported in U.S. Dollars,
the financial statements of many of our  subsidiaries outside the  United States are  prepared  using  the
local currency as the functional currency.  During  consolidation, these results are  translated into U.S.
Dollars  by applying appropriate exchange rates. As  a result, fluctuations in the  exchange rate of the
U.S. Dollar relative to the local currencies in which our foreign subsidiaries report could cause
significant fluctuations in our reported results. Moreover, as exchange rates vary, revenue  and other
operating results may differ materially from  our  expectations.

Additionally, to the extent monetary  assets and liabilities, including debt,  are held in  a different
currency than the reporting subsidiary’s functional currency,  fluctuations  in currency exchange rates
may have a significant impact on our reported financial results, and may lead to increased earnings
volatility. We may record significant gains or  losses  related to both  the translation  of assets and
liabilities held by our subsidiaries into  local currencies and  the  remeasurement of inter-company
receivables and loan balances.

If we are not able to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire through mergers,  acquisitions or strategic
alliances, we may not be able to realize  all of  the cost savings  and other benefits that we expect to result  from
the transactions and our financial results may be different  than expected.

Our strategy includes expanding our technology base and product offerings through selected

mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances. For example, during fiscal 2012, we  completed our
acquisitions of SkyScan N.V. and purchased  the pre-clinical optical business  from Carestream
Health, Inc. During fiscal 2011, we closed the  acquisitions of Center for Tribology, Inc.  and Michrom
BioResources Inc. During fiscal 2010,  we closed the  acquisition  of Veeco Metrology, Inc. and purchased
from Varian, Inc. the product lines comprising our chemical analysis  business.  As a result of such
transactions, our financial results may differ from our own  or the investment  community’s expectations
in a given fiscal quarter, or over the long  term.

Successful integration of the businesses we  acquire involves  a  number of risks,  including, among

others, risks related to:

(cid:129) coordinating or consolidating geographically separate organizations  and  integrating personnel

with different business backgrounds and  corporate cultures;

(cid:129) integrating previously autonomous departments in  sales  and marketing, distribution,  and

accounting and administrative functions, and information and management systems;

(cid:129) diversion of resources and management time;

(cid:129) disruption of our ongoing business;

(cid:129) potential impairment of relationships with customers as  a  result  of  changes in management or

otherwise arising out of such transactions;  and

22

(cid:129) retention of key employees of the acquired businesses within the first 1-2 years after  the

acquisition, including the risk that they may  compete  with us  subsequently.

We may have difficulty developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly acquired

company or business in a way that enhances the  performance of our  combined businesses or product
lines. As a result, we may not realize the value from expected synergies.

If we are unable to make or complete future mergers, acquisitions or  strategic alliances  as  a part of  our
growth strategy, our business development  may suffer.

Our growth strategy includes expanding  through selected mergers, acquisitions and strategic

alliances. However, we may not be able to find  attractive candidates, or enter into mergers, acquisitions
or strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us, or successfully integrate the operations of
companies that we acquire. If we fail to execute  mergers,  acquisitions and  strategic alliances, our
technology base may not expand as quickly and  efficiently  as possible. Without  such complementary
growth from selected mergers, acquisitions  and  strategic alliances, our ability to keep up with the
evolving needs of the markets we serve and to meet  our  future performance goals  could  be  adversely
affected. In addition, we may compete with other companies  for these merger, acquisition or strategic
alliance candidates, which could make such a transaction  more expensive for  us.

It  may be difficult for us to implement our strategies for  improving  margins, profitability  and  cash flow.

We are pursuing a number of strategies to improve  our financial performance, including in  2013
closing certain facilities within our CAM  and Bruker  Energy & Supercon Technologies divisions, and
various  outsourcing initiatives. We may not be able to successfully implement these strategies, and these
strategies may not result in the expected improvement in  our margins, profitability or  cash flow.

If our products fail to achieve and sustain sufficient market acceptance across their  broad intended range of
applications, we will not generate expected  revenue.

Our business strategy depends on our ability  to  successfully  commercialize  a broad  range of

products based on our technology platforms, including  magnetic  resonance technology, mass
spectrometry technology, gas chromatography technology, X-ray technology,  spark-OES technology,
atomic  force microscopy technology, stylus and optical metrology technology, infrared and Raman
molecular spectroscopy technology and  superconducting  magnet technologies for  use in  a variety of life
science, chemistry and materials analysis  applications. Some  of our products  have only recently been
commercially launched and have achieved only limited sales to date. The  commercial success of our
products depends on obtaining and expanding  market  acceptance by a diverse array of industrial,
academic, medical research and governmental customers around the world. We  may fail to achieve or
sustain  substantial market acceptance for our  products across the full range of our intended
applications or in one or more of our  principal  intended applications.  Any such failure could decrease
our  sales and revenue. To succeed, we  must convince substantial numbers of potential customers to
invest in new systems or replace their existing techniques with X-ray, magnetic resonance,  mass
spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy  techniques employing our systems. Limited funding available
for capital acquisitions by our customers, as well as our  customers’ own internal  purchasing approval
policies, could hinder market acceptance  of our products. Our intended customers  may be reluctant to
make the substantial capital investment generally needed to acquire our products or to incur the
training and other costs involved with replacing their existing systems with our products. We also may
not be able to convince our intended customers that  our systems are an  attractive and  cost-effective
alternative to other technologies and systems  for  the acquisition, analysis  and management of molecular
information. Additionally, if ethical and  other concerns  surrounding  the use of  genetic  information,
gene therapy or genetically modified organisms become widespread, we  may have less demand for our

23

products. Because of these and other  factors, our products may fail  to  gain or sustain  market
acceptance.

Our products compete in markets that are subject  to rapid technological change, and one or more of the
technologies underlying our products could be made obsolete by new  technology.

The market for discovery and analysis tools is  characterized  by rapid technological change and

frequent new product introductions. Rapidly changing technology could  make some or all of our
product lines obsolete unless we are able to continually improve our existing  products and develop new
products. Because substantially all of  our products are  based on our technology platforms, including
magnetic resonance technology, mass spectrometry technology, gas chromatography technology, X-ray
technology, spark-OES technology, atomic force  microscopy technology, stylus  and optical metrology
technology, infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technology,  we are particularly vulnerable to
any technological advances that would make these techniques obsolete as  the basis for analytical
systems in any of our markets. To meet the evolving  needs of our  customers, we must rapidly and
continually enhance our current and planned products and services  and develop  and introduce new
products and services. In addition, our product  lines are based on complex technologies which are
subject to rapid change as new technologies  are developed and  introduced in the  marketplace.  We may
have difficulty in keeping abreast of  the rapid changes affecting each of the  different markets we serve
or intend to serve. If we fail to develop and introduce products in a timely manner in response to
changing technology, market demands or the  requirements  of  our customers, our product sales  may
decline, and we could experience significant losses.

Our new technologies and product developments  may  not succeed.

We are currently developing a number of  new key technologies  and products in  our  operating
segments, including new magnet technologies at Bruker  BioSpin, new  mass spectrometry technologies
and applications at Bruker CALID, and new  X-ray technologies at Bruker  MAT, that may not succeed
technically, or may not be able to be manufactured reliably and economically. Any technology, product
or manufacturing ramp-up failure could decrease our opportunities for additional revenues and
increased margins.

Our business could be harmed if our collaborations fail to  advance our  product development.

Demand  for our products will depend in part upon  the extent to which  our  collaborations with
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and proteomics companies are successful in  developing,  or helping us to
develop, new products and new applications for our existing  products. In addition, we  collaborate with
academic institutions and government research laboratories  on product development. We have limited
or no control over the resources that any collaborator may devote to our products.  Any  of  our  present
or future collaborators may not perform their  obligations as  expected. If we fail  to  enter into or
maintain appropriate collaboration agreements, or  if any of  these  events occur, we may not be able to
develop some of our new products, which could materially  impede  our ability to generate revenue or
profits.

We face substantial competition.

We face substantial competition in a consolidating  industry  and we expect that competition in all

of our markets will increase further. Currently, our principal competition comes  from established
companies providing products using existing technologies  which perform many of  the same functions
for which we market our products. A number  of  our  competitors have expanded their market share in
recent years through business combinations. Other companies  also  may choose to enter our fields in
the future. Our competitors may develop  or market products that are more effective  or commercially
attractive than our current or future products or that may  render our products  obsolete. Competition

24

has in the past, and is likely in the future,  to  subject our products to pricing pressure. Many of our
competitors have more experience in the market and substantially greater financial, operational,
marketing and technical resources than we do which  could give them a competitive edge in areas such
as research and development, production, marketing and distribution. Our ability to compete
successfully will depend, in part, on our ability to develop proprietary  products that reach the market in
a timely manner and are technologically  superior to, less expensive than, or more  cost-effective than,
other currently marketed products.

If we are unable to recover significant development  costs of one or more of  our products  or product lines, our
business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer.

We offer, and plan to continue to offer, a broad product line and incur  and expect to continue to
incur substantial expenses for the development  of  new  products and  enhanced versions  of  our  existing
products. Our business model calls for us to derive a  significant portion  of our  revenues each  year from
products that did not exist in the previous two years. However, we may experience difficulties which
may delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and  marketing of new  products or
product enhancements. The speed of technological change  in the markets we serve  may prevent us
from successfully marketing some or  all of our products  for the  length of time  required to recover their
often significant development costs. If we  fail to recover the development  costs of one  or more
products or product lines, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

If we lose our strategic partners, our marketing efforts could be impaired.

A substantial portion of our sales of selected  products consists of sales to third  parties who
incorporate our products in their systems. These  third  parties are  responsible  for the  marketing and
sales  of their systems. We have little  or no  control over their marketing and sales activities or  how they
use their resources. Our present or future strategic  partners may or may not  purchase  sufficient
quantities of products from us or perform  appropriate  marketing  and  sales activities.  In  addition, if we
are unable to maintain our relationships with  strategic partners, our  business may  suffer. Failures by
our  present or future strategic partners, or our  inability  to  maintain or enter  into  new arrangements
with strategic partners for product distribution, could  materially impede  the growth  of  our  business  and
our  ability to generate sufficient revenue and profits.

If general healthcare spending patterns decline, our ability  to generate revenue may suffer.

We are dependent, both directly and indirectly, upon general healthcare spending patterns,
particularly in the research and development budgets of the pharmaceutical and  biotechnology
industries, as well  as upon the financial condition and funding priorities  of  various governments and
government agencies. Since our inception, both we and  our  academic collaborators and  customers  have
benefited from various governmental contracts and research grants. Whether we or our academic
collaborators will continue to be able to attract these grants depends not only on the quality of our
products, but also on general spending  patterns  of  public  institutions.

Any reduction in the capital resources or government funding of  our customers could  reduce our sales and
impede our ability to generate revenue.

A significant portion of our sales are capital purchases by our customers.  The spending policies of
our  customers could have a significant  effect on  the demand for our products.  These policies are based
on a wide variety of factors, including the resources  available  to  make purchases,  the spending priorities
among various types of equipment, policies regarding spending during recessionary periods and changes
in the political climate. Any changes in capital spending  or  changes in  the capital budgets of our
customers could significantly reduce demand for our products. The  capital resources of our life science
and other corporate customers may be  limited  by  the availability of equity or debt financing. Any

25

significant decline in research and development expenditures by  our life science customers could
significantly decrease our sales. In addition,  a substantial portion of our sales are to non-profit and
government entities, which are dependent on government  support for scientific research. Any decline in
this  support could decrease the ability of these  customers to purchase our products.

Disruptions at any of our manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our business.

We have manufacturing facilities located in the United States,  Europe and Japan. Many of our
products are developed and manufactured at single  locations, with limited alternate facilities. If we
experience any significant disruption of those facilities for any reason, such as  strikes or  other labor
unrest, power interruptions, fire, earthquakes,  or other events beyond our  control,  we may  be unable to
manufacture the relevant products at previous levels or at all.  In  addition, during  2013 we  will be
closing facilities within our CAM and Bruker Energy  & Supercon  Technologies  divisions,  as well as
implementing various outsourcing initiatives. A  reduction or interruption in manufacturing could harm
our  customer relationships, impede our  ability  to  generate  revenues  from  our  backlog or obtain new
orders and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results  of  operations, financial
condition and cash flows.

Our operations are dependent upon a limited  number  of  suppliers and contract manufacturers.

We currently purchase components used in  our  products from a limited number  of  outside
suppliers. Our reliance on a limited number of suppliers  could result in  time delays associated with
redesigning a product due to an inability  to  obtain  an adequate  supply of required components and
reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery.  Any of these factors could adversely affect our
revenues and profitability. In particular,  our  X-ray microanalysis business, which manufactures and sells
accessories for electron microscopes, is partially dependent  on cooperation from larger manufacturers
of electron microscopes. Additionally, our  elemental analysis  business  purchases  certain optical
detectors from a single supplier, PerkinElmer, Inc.,  the sole supplier of these detector components.
Bruker CALID purchases detectors and  power  supplies from sole or limited  source  suppliers and its
focal  plane array detectors from a single  supplier,  Lockheed Martin Corporation. Similarly, Bruker
BioSpin obtains various components  from sole or limited source suppliers  and Bruker  Energy  &
Supercon Technologies obtains various raw materials and uses  key  production  equipment from sole or
limited source suppliers or subcontractors.  There are limited,  if any, available alternatives to these
suppliers. The existence of shortages of these components  or  the failure of  delivery with  regard to these
components could have a material adverse  effect upon  our revenues  and  margins.  In addition, price
increases from these suppliers or subcontractors could have a material adverse effect upon our gross
margins.

Because of the scarcity of some components, we may be unable to obtain  an adequate supply of
components, or we may be required  to  pay higher  prices or to purchase components  of  lesser quality.
Any delay or interruption in the supply of these or other components could impair our ability to
manufacture and deliver our products, harm  our  reputation and cause a reduction in our revenues. In
addition, any increase in the cost of the components  that we use  in our products could make our
products less competitive and decrease  our  gross margins. We  may not be able  to  obtain  sufficient
quantities of required components on  the same or  substantially  the same terms. Additionally,
consolidations among our suppliers could result in other sole source suppliers for us in  the future.

26

Supply shortages and increasing prices of raw materials  could  adversely affect  the gross margins and
profitability of our Bruker BioSpin subsidiary, and of our Bruker Energy  & Supercon Technologies business.

The last few years have seen periodic  supply shortages and  sharp  increases in the  prices for various

raw  materials, in part due to high demand from  developing  countries. Bruker BioSpin  and Bruker
Energy & Supercon Technologies rely on  some of  these materials  for the  production  of  their  products.
In particular, for its superconducting magnet production, both for the horizontal  and vertical magnet
series, Bruker BioSpin relies on the availability of copper,  steel and  the metallic raw  materials for
traditional low-temperature superconducting wires.  Similarly,  Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies
relies on the availability of niobium titanium for its production of low-temperature superconducting
materials and devices. Higher prices for  these commodities  will increase the  production cost of
superconducting wires and superconducting magnets and may adversely affect  gross margins.

The prices of copper and certain other raw  materials used for superconductors have increased

significantly over the last decade. Since copper is  a main constituent of  low  temperature
superconductors, this may affect the price of superconducting  wire. This type of increase would have an
immediate effect on the production costs of  superconducting  magnets  and may negatively affect the
profit margins for those products. In addition, an increase in raw  material cost affects the production
cost of the superconducting wire produced by Bruker  Energy & Supercon Technologies and  of
superconducting wire used by Bruker  BioSpin.

The demand for helium has also risen sharply over the  last decade,  leading to a global  supply
shortage. The superconducting magnets used in magnetic resonance rely on  liquid helium for their
operation. High global demand, in combination with periodic supply shortages, has caused prices  for
liquid helium to rise significantly. This has  an adverse effect  on the operating costs for magnetic
resonance equipment, and may impede sales of superconducting magnets, or of  systems that use
superconducting magnets, such as our NMR, MRI, certain EPR and FTMS  systems. Even  if our
customer orders are not affected, delayed liquid helium deliveries can lead to delays in  systems
acceptance, revenue recognition and payment  for  such magnets or systems which could impact our
profitability in any particular period. If limited helium  availability continues  to  drive up  pricing, our
margins and profitability could be  adversely affected.

Our manufacture and sale of products could  lead to product liability  claims for  which we could have
substantial liability.

The manufacture and sale of our products exposes  us to product  liability  claims if any of our
products cause injury or are found otherwise unsuitable  during  manufacturing,  marketing, sale or
customer use. In particular, if one of our CBRNE detection  products malfunctions, this could lead to
civilian or military casualties in a time  of unrest,  exposing us  to  increased potential for high-profile
liability. If our CBRNE detection products  malfunction  by generating a false-positive  to  a potential
threat, we could be exposed to liabilities associated  with actions taken  that  otherwise would not have
been required. Additionally, the nuclear  magnetic  resonance, research magnetic resonance imaging,
Fourier  transform mass spectrometry and certain electron paramagnetic resonance magnets of Bruker
BioSpin utilize high magnet fields and cryogenics to operate at approximately 4 Kelvin,  the temperature
of liquid helium. There is an inherent  risk  of  potential product liability due to the  existence of these
high magnetic fields, associated stray fields outside  the magnet, and the  handling of the  cryogens
associated with superconducting magnets.  In addition, our MALDI  Biotyper product has an  IVD-CE
mark and is used for the identification of microorganisms. Misidentification  or a false-negative of
certain bacteria, yeasts or fungi could lead to inappropriate treatment  for patients,  and could expose us
to product liability claims.

A successful product liability claim brought  against us in  excess  of,  or outside the coverage of, our
insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial  condition and  results

27

of operations. We may not be able to  maintain product  liability insurance on acceptable  terms, if at all,
and insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities.

Responding to claims relating to improper  handling,  storage or disposal of hazardous chemicals and
radioactive and biological materials which we  use  could be time consuming and costly.

We use controlled hazardous and radioactive  materials in our business and generate  wastes that

are regulated as hazardous wastes under United States federal, and Massachusetts,  California,
Washington and Wisconsin state, environmental  and atomic energy  regulatory laws and under
equivalent provisions of law in those  jurisdictions  in which  our research  and manufacturing facilities are
located. Our use of these substances and materials  is subject  to  stringent, and  periodically changing,
regulation that can impose costly compliance  obligations on  us and  have the potential to adversely
affect our manufacturing activities. The risk of accidental contamination or  injury  from these materials
cannot be completely eliminated. If an  accident with  these substances occurs, we could be held  liable
for any damages that result, in addition to incurring  clean-up costs and liabilities, which can be
substantial. Additionally, an accident could damage our  research  and manufacturing facilities resulting
in delays and increased costs.

In addition to the risks applicable to our  life  science  and  materials analysis products, our  CBRNE detection
products  are subject to a number of additional risks, including lengthy  product development and contract
negotiation periods  and certain risks inherent in long-term government contracts.

Our CBRNE detection products are subject to many of the  same risks  associated with our life

science products, including vulnerability  to  rapid technological change, dependence on  mass
spectrometry and other technologies and substantial competition. In  addition,  our CBRNE detection
products and certain FT-IR products are generally sold to government agencies  under long-term
contracts. These contracts generally involve lengthy pre-contract negotiations and product development.
We  may be required to devote substantial  working  capital and other  resources prior to obtaining
product orders. As a result, we may incur substantial costs before  we  recognize revenue  from these
products. Moreover, in return for larger,  longer-term contracts, our customers for  these products often
demand more stringent acceptance criteria. These criteria may also cause delays  in our ability to
recognize revenue from sales of these products.  Furthermore, we may not be able to accurately predict
in advance our costs to fulfill our obligations  under these long-term  contracts. If  we fail to accurately
predict our costs, due to inflation or other factors, we  could incur significant losses. Also,  the presence
or absence of such contracts may cause substantial variation in our results of  operations between  fiscal
periods and, as a result, our results of operations for any given fiscal period may not be predictive  of
our  results for subsequent fiscal periods. The resulting uncertainty may  have an adverse impact on our
stock price.

We are subject to existing and potential additional regulation and government  inquiry,  which  can impose
burdens on our operations and narrow the  markets for  our products.

We are subject, both directly and indirectly, to the adverse impact of  existing and  potential  future

government regulation of our operations and markets. For example, exportation of our products,
particularly our CBRNE detection products, is subject  to  strict regulatory  control in a number of
jurisdictions. The failure to satisfy export control  criteria or obtain necessary  clearances could delay or
prevent shipment of products, which could  adversely affect our revenues and profitability. In  addition,
as a result of our international operations, we are subject  to  compliance with various laws and
regulations, including the United States FCPA  and other  anti-bribery laws  in the jurisdictions in which
we do business, which generally prohibit companies and their  intermediaries or agents from  engaging in
bribery or making improper payments  to  foreign officials or their agents. Violations of these laws and
regulations could result in severe fines and penalties,  criminal  sanctions,  and  restrictions on our

28

business conduct and on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries, and  could  also
materially affect our reputation, our relationships with existing customers,  distributors and  agents, our
ability to obtain new customers and partners and our operating  results. Moreover, the life sciences
industry, which is the market for our principal products,  has historically been heavily regulated. There
are, for example, laws in several jurisdictions restricting  research  in genetic engineering,  which can
operate to narrow our markets. Given the evolving nature of this  industry, legislative bodies or
regulatory authorities may adopt additional regulation that adversely  affects our market opportunities.
Our business is also directly affected by a wide variety of government regulations  applicable  to  business
enterprises generally and to companies operating in the life sciences industry in particular.  We note
that, as a result of developing and selling  products which are the  subject of such  regulation, we  have
been, are, and expect to be in the future,  subject to inquiries from the  government agencies which
enforce these regulations, including the U.S. Department of State, the  U.S. Department of Commerce,
the U.S.  Food and Drug Administration, the  U.S. Internal  Revenue  Service, the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Justice, the  Securities and Exchange  Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission, the U.S.  Customs and  Border  Protection  and the  U.S. Department of
Defense, among others, as well as from state or foreign  governments  and their departments and
agencies. As a result, from time to time,  the attention of our management  and other  resources  may be
diverted to attend to these inquiries. In  addition,  failure to comply with these regulations or  obtain or
maintain necessary permits and licenses could result in a variety of fines or other censures  or an
interruption in our business operations which  may have a negative impact on  our ability  to  generate
revenues.

Our success depends on our ability to operate without  infringing  or misappropriating the  proprietary rights of
others.

Our commercial success depends on  avoiding the infringement of other  parties’  patents and
proprietary rights as well as avoiding  the breach of any licenses  relating to our technologies and
products. Given that there may be patents of which we are unaware,  particularly in  the U.S. where
patent applications are confidential, avoidance of  patent  infringement may be difficult. Various  third-
parties hold patents which may relate to our technology,  and we may be found in the future  to infringe
these or other patents or proprietary rights  of third parties, either with products we  are currently
marketing or developing or with new  products which  we may  develop in the future. If a third party
holding rights under a patent successfully asserts an infringement claim with respect  to  any of  our
current or future products, we may be prevented from  manufacturing  or  marketing  our  infringing
product in the country or countries covered by the  patent  we  infringe,  unless we can obtain a  license
from the patent holder. We may not be  able  to  obtain  a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all, especially if the patent holder is a competitor. In addition, even if we  can obtain the  license, it may
be non-exclusive, which will permit others to practice the  same technology  licensed to us. We also  may
be required to pay substantial damages to the patent holder in  the event of an  infringement. Under
some circumstances in the U.S., these damages  could include damages equal  to  triple the actual
damages the patent holder incurs. If we have supplied infringing products to third parties  for marketing
by them or licensed third parties to manufacture, use or  market infringing products, we  may be
obligated to indemnify these third parties  for any damages they may  be  required to pay  to  the patent
holder and for any losses the third parties may sustain themselves as the  result of lost sales or license
payments they are required to make to the patent holder.  Any successful infringement action  brought
against us may also adversely affect marketing of the  infringing product  in other markets not covered
by the infringement action, as well as our marketing of other products  based on similar technology.
Furthermore, we will suffer adverse consequences from a  successful infringement action against us even
if the action is subsequently reversed  on appeal,  nullified through another action  or resolved by
settlement with the patent holder.  The damages or other  remedies awarded, if any, may be significant.
As a result, any successful infringement action against us may harm our  business.

29

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual  property, third parties may use  our  technology, which
would  impair our ability to compete in our markets.

Our continued success will depend in significant  part  on our ability to obtain and maintain
meaningful patent protection for our  products throughout the world. We  rely on  patents  to  protect a
significant part of our intellectual property and to enhance  our competitive position.  However, our
presently pending or future patent applications may not issue  as patents,  and any  patent  previously
issued to us may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable or circumvented.  Furthermore, the
claims in patents which have been issued, or which may be issued to us in  the future, may  not be
sufficiently broad to prevent third parties from producing  competing products similar to our products.
In addition, the laws of various foreign countries in  which we  compete may not protect  our  intellectual
property to the same extent as do the  laws of the U.S.  Failure to obtain  adequate patent protection for
our  proprietary technology could materially impair our ability to be commercially competitive.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on the protection of trade secrets, know-how and

confidential and proprietary information. To  maintain the confidentiality  of trade secrets and
proprietary information, we generally seek to enter  into confidentiality agreements  with our employees,
consultants and strategic partners upon the commencement of a  relationship with  us. However,  we may
not obtain these agreements in all circumstances. In  the event of  unauthorized use  or disclosure of this
information, these agreements, even if  obtained,  may not provide meaningful protection for our trade
secrets or other confidential information. In  addition,  adequate remedies  may not exist in the event of
unauthorized use or disclosure of this information. The loss or  exposure of our trade secrets and other
proprietary information would impair our  competitive  advantages and could  have a material adverse
effect on our operating results, financial  condition and  future growth prospects. Furthermore, others
may have, or may in the future independently develop, substantially similar  or superior know-how and
technology.

We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or  enforce our patents that are brought by  us which  could be
expensive and time  consuming and, if determined adversely, could adversely affect our  patent position.

In order to protect or enforce our patent  rights, we may initiate patent  litigation against third

parties, and we may be similarly sued by others.  We may also become  subject to interference
proceedings conducted in the patent and trademark  offices  of  various countries to determine the
priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution, if necessary, of intellectual property suits,
interference proceedings and related  legal and administrative proceedings  is costly and  diverts our
technical and management personnel  from their  normal responsibilities.  We may  not  prevail in any of
these suits. An adverse determination  of  any  litigation  or defense proceedings  could  put  our patents  at
risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put  our patent applications at  risk of not
issuing.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of  discovery required in connection with
intellectual property litigation, there is  a risk  that  some of  our confidential information could be
compromised by disclosure during this type of  litigation. In  addition,  during  the course of this kind of
litigation, there could be public announcements  of  the results of  hearings, motions or other  interim
proceedings or developments in the litigation. If securities analysts or  investors perceive these results to
be negative, it could have a substantial negative effect  on the trading price  of our  common stock.

We may not be able to maintain our sales and  service staff to meet demand for  our products  and  services.

Our future revenue and profitability will depend in part on  our ability to  maintain  our team of
marketing and service personnel. Because our products are technical  in nature, we believe that our
marketing, sales and support staff must have  scientific or  technical  expertise and experience.
Competition for employees with these skills is intense. We may not  be  able to continue to attract and

30

retain sufficient qualified sales and service people, and we  may  not be able  to  maintain  and develop
efficient and effective sales, marketing and support department. If  we fail to continue to attract  or
retain qualified people, then our business could suffer.

We plan significant future growth, and there is  a risk that we will  not  be able to  manage this growth.

Our success will depend on the expansion of our operations. Effective growth  management will

place increased demands on our management, operational and  financial resources. To manage our
future growth, we must expand our facilities, augment  our operational, financial and management
systems, and hire and train additional qualified  personnel. Our failure to manage  this  growth effectively
could impair our ability to generate revenue or  could cause our expenses to increase more rapidly than
revenue, resulting in operating losses.

Our debt may adversely affect our cash flow and may restrict our investment  opportunities or  limit our
activities.

As of December 31, 2012, we had outstanding an aggregate principal amount of debt totaling
approximately $337.2 million, including $240.0  million  of  senior unsecured notes  and $93.0  million of
long-term borrowings under our revolving  loan facility. We also  had the  ability  to  borrow  an additional
$199.3 million from our existing credit facilities.  Most of our outstanding debt is  in the United States
and there are substantial cash requirements  in the United  States to service debt interest  obligations,
fund operations and capital expenditures, and finance potential acquisitions. Our  ability to satisfy our
debt obligations depends on our future operating performance and on  economic, financial, competitive
and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient  cash flow to meet these
obligations. If we are unable to service our debt  or obtain additional financing, we  may be forced to
delay strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures or research and development expenditures. We may
not be able to obtain additional financing on terms  acceptable to us  or  at all. Furthermore, a  majority
of our cash is generated from foreign operations, with  $288.2 million, or 92.8%  of our  cash held by
foreign subsidiaries as of December 31,  2012. Our financial condition and results  of operations  could
be adversely impacted if we are unable to maintain  a sufficient level of cash flow  in the United States
to address our funding requirements through (1) cash from operations, (2)  efficient and  timely
repatriation of cash from overseas or (3)  other  sources  obtained at an acceptable  cost.

Additionally, the agreements governing our debt require that  we maintain certain financial ratios

related to maximum leverage and minimum  interest  coverage, and contain affirmative  and negative
covenants that restrict our activities by, among other limitations, limiting our ability to make certain
payments; incur additional debt; incur  certain liens; make certain investments, including  derivative
agreements; merge, consolidate, sell or transfer all  or substantially all of our assets; and enter into
certain transactions with affiliates. Our ability to comply with these financial  restrictions and covenants
is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing  economic conditions  and other
factors, including factors that are beyond our control such as foreign  exchange rates and interest rates.
Our failure to comply with any of  these  restrictions or  covenants may result in an event  of default
under the applicable debt instrument, which could permit acceleration of  the  debt under the facility
and require us to prepay the debt before  its  scheduled  due date.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment.

As a result of our acquisitions, we have recorded  goodwill  and other  intangible  assets, which must
be periodically evaluated for potential impairment. We assess the realizability of the  reported goodwill
and other intangible assets annually, as well as whenever events  or changes  in circumstances indicate
that the assets may be impaired. These events or circumstances generally  include  operating losses or a
significant decline in the earnings associated with the reporting segment  these  acquisitions  are reported
within. A decline in our stock price and  market  capitalization may also cause  us to consider  whether

31

goodwill and other intangible assets may require an impairment assessment.  Our ability to realize the
value of the goodwill will depend on the future cash flows  of the reporting  segment in addition to how
well we integrate the businesses acquired. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company  recorded an
impairment loss of $17.8 million for goodwill and definite-lived  intangible assets.

Various international tax risks could adversely affect our earnings  and cash flows.

We are subject to international tax risks. Distributions of earnings  and other payments  received
from our subsidiaries may be subject to withholding  taxes imposed by  the  countries where  they are
operating or are formed. If these foreign countries do not have  income tax treaties with  the United
States or the countries where our subsidiaries are incorporated, we could be subject to high  rates  of
withholding taxes on these distributions and payments.  We  could also be subject to being taxed twice
on income related to operations in these non-treaty countries. Because  we are  unable to reduce the
taxable income of one operating company with  losses incurred by  another  operating company  located  in
another country, we may have a higher effective  income  tax rate than that of other companies in our
industry. The amount of the credit that we may claim against  our U.S. federal income tax for foreign
income taxes is subject to many limitations which may significantly restrict our ability to claim a credit
for all of the foreign taxes we pay.

We currently have reserves established on the statutory books  of certain international locations.

Within our audited consolidated financial statements, which  have been prepared under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the  potential  tax  liabilities  associated with  these reserves have
been recorded as long-term deferred  tax  liabilities. If these  reserves are challenged, and we  are unable
to successfully defend the need for such reserves,  these liabilities could  become current resulting in a
negative impact to our anticipated cash flows from  operations over  the next  twelve months.

The unpredictability and fluctuation of our  quarterly results may adversely affect the  trading price of our
common stock.

Our revenues and results of operations have in the  past and may in the future vary from quarter

to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which  are outside of our control and any  of  which may
cause our stock price to fluctuate. The primary factors that may  affect  us include  the following:

(cid:129) the timing of sales of our products and services;

(cid:129) the timing of recognizing revenue and deferred  revenue under U.S. GAAP;

(cid:129) changes in our pricing policies or the  pricing  policies of our  competitors;

(cid:129) increases in sales and marketing, product  development or administration expenses;

(cid:129) the mix of services provided by us and third-party contractors;

(cid:129) our ability to attain and maintain quality levels for our  products;

(cid:129) costs related to acquisitions of technology or businesses; and

(cid:129) the effectiveness of transactions entered into to hedge  the risks associated with foreign currency

and interest rate fluctuations.

Historically, we have experienced a decrease in  revenue in the first, second and third quarters of

each  fiscal year relative to the prior fourth quarter, which we believe is due  to  our customers’
budgeting cycles. You should not rely on  quarter-to-quarter  comparisons of  our  results of operations as
an indication of our future performance. It  is likely that in some future quarters, our results of
operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the
price of our common stock may fall.

32

Existing stockholders have significant influence over  us.

As of February 27, 2013, Laukien family  members,  including our  Chairman, President and Chief

Executive Officer Frank Laukien, Director and Executive Chairman  of the Bruker BioSpin Group,
Joerg Laukien, and another family member not affiliated  with our company,  owned, in the  aggregate,
approximately 39% of our outstanding common  stock.  As a  result, these  stockholders will  be  able to
exercise substantial influence over all  matters requiring stockholder approval,  including the  election of
directors and approval of significant corporate  transactions. This could  have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of our  company  and  will make  some transactions  difficult  or impossible
to accomplish without the support of  these stockholders.

Other companies may have difficulty acquiring us,  even if  doing so  would benefit our stockholders,  due to
provisions under our corporate charter and bylaws, as well as  Delaware law.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, as  amended, and our bylaws,  as well as Delaware law

could make it more difficult for other companies to acquire  us, even  if doing  so would benefit our
stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation, as  amended, and bylaws contain the following provisions,
among others, which may inhibit an acquisition of our company by a third  party:

(cid:129) a staggered Board of Directors, where stockholders elect only a minority of the board each year;

(cid:129) advance notification procedures for matters to be brought before stockholder meetings;

(cid:129) a limitation on who may call stockholder meetings; and

(cid:129) the ability of our Board of Directors  to  issue up  to  5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without a

stockholder vote.

ITEM 1B UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

We have not received any written comments from the  staff  of the Securities and Exchange

Commission regarding our periodic or current reports that (1) we  believe are material, (2) were issued
not less than 180 days before the end of our  2012 fiscal year end, and  (3) remain unresolved.

ITEM 2 PROPERTIES

We believe that our existing principal facilities are  well maintained and in good operating
condition and that they are adequate for our foreseeable business needs. During  2013, we  will  be
closing facilities within our CAM and Bruker Energy  & Supercon  Technologies  divisions,  as well as
implementing various outsourcing initiatives. We will continue  to  assess restructuring and  outsourcing
initiatives and the impact on our properties in the  future.

In addition to the principal facilities noted below we  lease  additional  facilities  for sales,

applications and service support in various countries throughout  the world including Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland,  France,  Germany, Hong Kong,
India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico,  Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South
Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, the  United Kingdom and the

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 21, 2012, Vertical Analytics LLC filed an action  in the U.S. District Court for the

District of Delaware against Bruker AXS Inc. (‘‘Bruker AXS’’).  The  complaint,  which claims
unspecified damages and injunctive relief, alleges that  Bruker AXS  infringes, induces  infringement, or
contributes to the infringement of  certain U.S.  patents related to X-ray diffraction analysis  held by
Vertical Analytics LLC. Bruker AXS filed its  response to the complaint in November 2012 and has
asserted various defenses. Discovery  commenced in January 2013. Bruker AXS believes  the claims to be
without merit and intends to vigorously  defend  this action.

On November 4, 2011, Hyphenated Systems, LLC filed an action  in California Superior  Court,

Santa Clara County, against the Company and Veeco Metrology, Inc. in connection with certain
agreements entered into prior and subsequent to the Company’s  acquisition  of  all  of the shares of
Veeco Metrology, Inc. in October 2010. Upon the  closing  of the acquisition, Veeco Metrology, Inc. was
renamed Bruker Nano, Inc. (‘‘Bruker Nano’’). The  suit, which  also names one  current and one former
employee of Bruker Nano, claims unspecified damages for  breach of contract,  fraud and unfair
competition in connection with the performance of the agreements. The Company believes the claims
to be without merit and intends to vigorously  defend  this action.

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of  Directors, assisted by

independent outside counsel and an independent forensic consulting  firm, conducted  an internal
investigation in response to anonymous communications received  by the Company alleging improper
conduct in connection with the China operations of the  Company’s Bruker Optics subsidiary. The Audit
Committee’s investigation, which began  in 2011 and was completed  in the  first  quarter  of  2012,
included a review of compliance by Bruker Optics and its employees in China and  Hong  Kong with the
requirements of the FCPA and other applicable laws and regulations.

The investigation found evidence indicating  that payments were made that improperly benefited
employees or agents of government-owned enterprises in China  and Hong  Kong. The investigation also
found evidence that certain employees of Bruker  Optics in  China and Hong Kong failed  to  comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct. As a result, the Company took personnel actions,
including the termination of certain individuals.  The  Company also terminated its business relationships
with certain third party agents, implemented  an enhanced FCPA  compliance program,  and strengthened
the financial controls and oversight at its subsidiaries operating in China and Hong Kong.  During 2011,
the Company also initiated a review of  the China operations of its other subsidiaries, with  the
assistance of an independent audit firm. On the basis of the review conducted to date, the Company
has identified additional employees in Bruker subsidiaries operating  in China who failed to comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct, and has  taken additional personnel actions at certain
of its subsidiaries as a result. The review is ongoing and no conclusions can be drawn at this time  as to
its  final outcome.

The Company voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and

the United States Department of Justice  in August 2011 to advise  both agencies  of  the internal

35

investigation by the Audit Committee regarding the China operations  of the Company’s Bruker Optics
subsidiary. In October 2011, the Company also reported the existence of that internal investigation to
the Hong Kong Joint Financial Intelligence  Unit and ICAC. The Company has cooperated with the
United States federal agencies and Hong  Kong government authorities with respect to their inquiries
and has provided documents and/or made witnesses available in  response  to  requests from the
governmental authorities reviewing this matter. The Company  intends  to  continue to cooperate with
these agencies in connection with their inquiries. At this time  the Company cannot reasonably assess
the timing or outcome of these matters or their effect, if any,  on  the Company’s business.

The FCPA and related statutes and regulations provide for potential  monetary penalties as well as

criminal and civil sanctions in connection with FCPA violations. It is possible that monetary penalties
and other sanctions could be assessed by the Federal government in connection with these matters.
Additionally, to the extent any payments are determined to  be  illegal by local government authorities,
civil or criminal penalties may be assessed by such authorities  and the Company’s ability  to  conduct
business in that jurisdiction may be negatively impacted. At this time, the  Company cannot predict  the
extent to which the SEC, the DOJ, the ICAC or  any  other governmental  authorities will pursue
administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings, the imposition  of fines or  penalties  or other
remedies or sanctions. Given the current status of the  inquiries  from these agencies, the Company
cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or  range of  possible loss that may result  from any
proceedings that may be commenced by the  SEC, the DOJ, the  ICAC or  any other governmental
authorities. Accordingly, no provision with  respect to such matters has  been recorded in  the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any adverse findings  or other negative outcomes from
any such proceedings could have a material impact on the Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements
in future periods.

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, $11.1  million and $4.3 million, respectively,

was recorded for legal and other professional services  incurred related to the internal investigation of
these matters.

superconducting magnets for physics and energy  research and a variety of other scientific  applications.

For financial reporting purposes, we combine the  Bruker BioSpin, Bruker CALID and Bruker

MAT operating segments into the Scientific Instruments reporting  segment because each  has similar
economic characteristics, product processes and services, types and classes  of  customers,  methods of
distribution and regulatory environments. As such, management reports its financial results  based on
the following segments:

(cid:129) Scientific Instruments. The operations of this segment include the design, manufacture and

distribution of advanced instrumentation and automated solutions based on magnetic resonance
technology, mass spectrometry technology, gas  chromatography technology, infrared and Raman
molecular spectroscopy technology, X-ray technology,  spark-optical  emission spectroscopy
technology, atomic force microscopy  technology, and  stylus  and  optical metrology technology.
Typical customers of the Scientific Instruments segment include: pharmaceutical,  biotechnology
and molecular diagnostic companies; academic institutions, medical schools and other non-profit
organizations; clinical microbiology laboratories; government departments and agencies;
nanotechnology, semiconductor, chemical, cement,  metals and petroleum companies; and  food,
beverage and agricultural analysis companies  and  laboratories.

(cid:129) Energy & Supercon Technologies. The operations of this segment include the  design, manufacture
and marketing of superconducting materials, primarily metallic  low  temperature superconductors,
for use in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance, fusion energy  research and
other applications, and ceramic high temperature superconductors  primarily for energy  grid and
magnet applications. Typical customers  of  the Energy & Supercon Technologies  segment include
companies in the medical industry, private  and  public research and development  laboratories  in
the fields of fundamental and applied sciences and energy research, academic  institutions and
government agencies. The Energy & Supercon Technologies  segment is also developing
superconductors and superconducting-enabled devices for  applications in power and energy, as
well as industrial processing industries.

Financial Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2012,  our revenue increased by $139.7  million, or  8.5%, to
$1,791.4 million, compared to $1,651.7  million  for the  year ended December  31, 2011. Included in this

41

change in revenue are a decrease of approximately $76.8  million from the impact of foreign exchange
due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the  Euro  and  other foreign currencies and an
increase of approximately $19.8 million attributable to recent acquisitions.  Excluding the  effects of
foreign exchange and our recent acquisitions, revenue increased by $196.7 million, or 11.9%. The
increase in revenue on an adjusted basis is attributable to both the  Scientific  Instruments  segment,
which increased by $158.5 million, or 10.2%, and  the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment,  which
increased by $33.9 million, or 29.9%.

Revenue in the Scientific Instruments segment  reflects an increase in sales from many of our core
technologies, particularly nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and X-ray products. The mix
of products sold in the Scientific Instruments  segment during 2012 reflects  increased  demand from
academic, government and industrial customers.  We attribute the increase  in sales to academic and
government customers to increased spending from these customers and to new product introductions.
The improvement in revenues from our industrial customers reflects continued  growth in these end
markets and our new product introductions.  Revenues in  the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment
increased primarily due to recognition of license revenue on  the sale  of technology. In addition,
revenue benefitted from higher demand for low temperature  superconducting wire.

Though we recognized increased revenue in  2012 on  a year-over-year basis,  we began to see  a

softening in demand, particularly in Europe. We also noted  a weakening in global industrial and
applied markets, as well as in the semiconductor and data storage metrology  markets.  We are uncertain
whether the recent market conditions will continue  or how our revenue derived  from those  market
segments may be affected.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012  was $831.4 million compared  to  $752.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Our gross  profit margin for  the year  ended December 31, 2012
was 46.4%, compared with 45.6% for the  year  ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the effects of
inventory and fixed asset charges, amortization of acquisition-related  intangible  assets and restructuring
charges totaling, in the aggregate, $21.9 million and  $24.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively, gross profit margins  increased to 47.6% for the year ended December 31,
2012 compared with 47.0% for the year  ended December 31, 2011.  The  increase in gross profit margins
for the year ended December 31, 2012  was  driven by license revenue from the sale of technology in the
Energy & Supercon Technologies segment, which had minimal associated cost, and  sales of  our newly
introduced products, which carry higher gross  margins than our  previous generations of products.
Offsetting these items were increasing pricing pressures in certain  markets,  changes in the  mix of
products and lower gross profit margins in  our CAM  division due  to  increased production costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses  and research  and  development  expenses increased to

$637.7 million, or 35.6% of revenue, in 2012 from  $583.8 million,  or 35.3% of revenue, in 2011. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and  research and  development expenses in 2012
is attributable to increases in headcount to support planned revenue growth in  our  existing businesses
and from our recent acquisitions. Changes in foreign currency  exchange rates,  primarily  the
strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against  the Euro and other foreign  currencies, partially  offset the
increase because the majority of our employees are located in Europe. We are  focused on  controlling
costs and are implementing selective  cost saving programs with the  goal of reducing operating expenses
and improving operating margins in 2013.

We recorded an impairment charge in the amount of  $23.8  million  for  the year  ended

December 31, 2012, comprising goodwill  and  definite-lived intangible  assets of $1.4  million and $16.4
million, respectively, related to our CAM division,  and an  impairment charge  of $6.0 million for other
long-lived assets to reduce the carrying value to their estimated  fair value.

Income from operations for the year  ended December 31, 2012  was  $156.0 million, resulting in  an

operating margin of 8.7%, compared to income from operations  of $155.6 million, resulting in an

42

operating margin of 9.4%, for the year ended  December  31,  2011. The decrease  in operating  margin
was largely due to the impairment of assets  noted  above, partially offset  by the recognition of license
revenue on the sale of technology in the  Energy  & Supercon  Technologies segment.

Included in income from operations are various  charges  for  inventory  write-downs, amortization of

acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, impairment of goodwill,
intangible assets and other long-term assets, deferred  offering costs that have been expensed, legal and
other professional services fees related  to  our internal  investigation and  review of our operations in
China, and restructuring and relocation costs totaling,  in the aggregate, $63.0 million and  $41.2 million
in 2012 and 2011,  respectively. Excluding these charges, operating margins were 12.2% in  2012 and
11.9% in 2011. The increase in adjusted  operating margins for the year ended December 31, 2012
compared to the prior year is due to the  revenue growth noted above, in particular the recognition of
the license revenue in the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment, offset by pricing  pressures
experienced in certain markets, changes in  the mix  of products  sold  and  higher operating expenses.

Our effective tax rate for 2012 was 43.5%, compared to 35.4% for 2011. The increase  in the
effective tax rate is primarily due to the impairment charges  noted  above, which  are unbenefitted in
certain jurisdictions.

Our net  income attributable to the shareholders  of  Bruker Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 2012 was $77.5 million,  or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $92.3 million, or $0.55
per  diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease for the year ended
December 31, 2012 was due to increases  in operating expenses, including impairment of  goodwill,
intangibles, and other long-lived assets, higher  spending on non-recurring items and  higher net interest
expense. These were partially offset by revenue growth  and  higher gross margins.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of  operations is  based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have  been prepared in accordance  with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of  America. 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, the
expensing and capitalization of software  development costs,  stock-based compensation  expense,
restructuring and other related charges, income taxes,  including  the recoverability of  deferred tax assets,
allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, estimated fair values of
long-lived assets used to evaluate the  recoverability of long-lived assets, intangible  assets and goodwill,
expected future cash flows used to evaluate the  recoverability  of  intangible assets and long-lived  assets,
warranty costs, derivative financial instruments and  contingent liabilities. We base our  estimates and
judgments on 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 to be both those most important to  the
portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and those  that require  the most  subjective
judgment.

Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue from system sales when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the price is fixed  or determinable, title  and risk of loss has been  transferred to the
customer and collectability of the resulting receivable is  reasonably assured.  Title and risk  of loss  is
generally transferred upon customer acceptance for a system that has been  delivered  to  the customer.

43

When products are sold through an independent distributor or a strategic  distribution partner who
assumes responsibility for installation, we recognize the system sale when the product has been  shipped
and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the  distributor.  Our distributors do not have price
protection rights or rights of return; however, our products are typically  warranted to be free from
defect for a period of one year. Revenue is deferred until cash is received when collectability is not
reasonably assured or when the price is  not  fixed  or determinable. For  arrangements with multiple
elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on their relative selling prices. The relative  selling
price of each element is based on our  vendor specific objective evidence, if available. If  vendor specific
objective evidence is not available, we use evidence from third-parties or, when third-party evidence is
not available, we use management’s best estimate  of  the selling  price. Typically, we cannot ascertain
third-party evidence of selling price.  When products and services  offered do not qualify as  separate
units of accounting, we recognize revenue upon customer acceptance for a system  that  has been
shipped, installed, and for which the customer has been  trained.  As a result, the timing  of customer
acceptance or readiness could cause reported revenues to differ materially from expectations. Revenue
from accessories and parts is recognized upon shipment and  service revenue  is recognized as the
services are performed. We also have contracts  for which we  apply  the  percentage-of-completion model
and completed contract model of revenue  recognition.  Application of these methods  requires us to
make reasonable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion of the  contract and the total
costs we will incur under the contract.  Changes in our estimates could affect  the timing of revenue
recognition.

Income taxes. The determination of income tax expense requires us to make certain estimates and

judgments concerning the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, as  well as the  deductions,
carryforwards and credits that are available  to  reduce taxable income.  Deferred tax  assets and liabilities
arise from differences in the timing of the  recognition of revenue and expenses for  financial  statement
and tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are  measured using the  tax rates in  effect for  the
year in which these temporary differences are expected to be settled. We  estimate the degree to which
tax assets and loss carryforwards will result  in a benefit  based on expected profitability by tax
jurisdiction, and we provide a valuation  allowance  for  tax assets and loss carryforwards that we believe
will more likely than not go unused. If it becomes  more  likely than not that a  tax asset  or loss
carryforward will be used for which a reserve has been provided, we reverse the related valuation
allowance. If our actual future taxable income by tax jurisdiction differs from  estimates, additional
allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. In addition, we  only recognize benefits for tax
positions that we believe are more likely than not of being sustained upon review  by  a taxing  authority
with knowledge of all relevant information.  We reevaluate our uncertain tax positions on  a quarterly
basis and any changes to these positions as a  result of tax audits,  tax  laws or other facts and
circumstances could result in additional charges to operations.

Inventories.

Inventories are stated at the lower of  cost or market, with costs  determined by the

first-in, first-out method for a majority of subsidiaries  and by average cost for certain other subsidiaries.
We  record provisions to account for excess and obsolete  inventory to reflect the expected non-saleable
or non-refundable inventory based on an evaluation  of slow moving products.  Inventories also include
demonstration units located in our demonstration laboratories or  installed at  the sites of  potential
customers. We consider our demonstration units  to  be  available for sale. We reduce the carrying value
of demonstration inventories for differences  between  cost and  estimated  net realizable value, taking
into consideration usage in the preceding  twelve  months, expected  demand, technological obsolescence
and other information including the physical condition of  the unit. If ultimate usage  or demand varies
significantly from expected usage or demand, additional write-downs  may  be  required, resulting in
additional charges to operations.

Goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. We evaluate whether goodwill is
impaired annually and when events occur or circumstances change. We  test goodwill for impairment at

44

the reporting unit  level, which is the operating segment  or one level below  an operating segment. The
first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing  the fair  values of the  applicable reporting
units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. We  generally determine the fair value of
our  reporting units using a weighting of both the  market  approach and  the income approach
methodologies. The income approach  valuation  methodology includes discounted  cash flow estimates.
Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant judgment by management about the
future cash flows. If the carrying amount of  a reporting unit  exceeds the  fair value of the reporting
unit, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of  the
impairment. In the second step of the goodwill impairment  test, we compare the implied fair value of
the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

At December 31, 2012, the Company performed its  annual goodwill  impairment  evaluation and
concluded all reporting units’ fair values exceeded their carrying values,  with the exception of the  CAM
division, which experienced increased deterioration  in its financial performance.  The Company,
therefore, performed step two of the impairment test to measure potential impairment and concluded
an impairment charge of $1.4 million  was  required.  This amount represents  all  the goodwill  allocated to
the CAM division and is recorded within ‘‘Impairment  of  assets’’ in  the accompanying statements  of
income and comprehensive income for the year ended  December 31,  2012. There  were no indefinite-
lived intangible assets associated with the CAM division and no impairment  of  indefinite-lived
intangible assets during the year ended December  31, 2012.

We also review definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets when indications of
potential impairment exist. Should the fair value of our long-lived assets decline  because of reduced
operating performance, market declines, or other  indicators of an  impairment, a charge to operations
for impairment may be necessary.

The Company determined the increased  deterioration in financial performance of the  CAM
division discussed above was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible assets
within that reporting unit for recoverability.  The Company performed a test based  on projected future
undiscounted cash flows at December 31, 2012  and  determined that  the definite-lived intangible assets
within the CAM division were impaired. The Company recorded  an impairment charge in the amount
of $16.4 million for the year ended December 31,  2012 to reduce the  carrying value of those assets to
their estimated fair values. The impairment charge is  included within ‘‘Impairment of assets’’ in the
accompanying statements of income and comprehensive income. No impairment losses were recorded
related to definite-lived intangible assets  during the years ended December 31, 2011 and  2010.

The increased deterioration in financial  performance of the CAM division  discussed above was

also an indicator requiring the evaluation of other long-lived  assets within  that  reporting unit for
recoverability. In addition, based on the abandonment of a project  in the Energy & Supercon
Technologies reporting unit there was an indicator  requiring  the evaluation of those long-lived assets
for recoverability. The Company performed  a test  of  projected future  undiscounted  cash flows at
December 31, 2012, and determined that certain  of  the other long-lived assets within the CAM division
and the Energy & Supercon Technologies reporting unit  were impaired. During the year ended
December 31, 2012, an impairment charge  in the amount of  $6.0 million  related to property, plant and
equipment was recorded to reduce the carrying  value of those assets to their  estimated  fair values. This
amount is recorded within ‘‘Impairment  of assets’’ in  the accompanying  statements  of income and
comprehensive income.

We will continue to monitor goodwill and long-lived intangible  assets, as well  as long-lived  tangible

assets, for possible future impairment.

Warranty costs. We normally provide a one year parts and labor warranty  with the  purchase  of

equipment. The anticipated cost for this warranty is  accrued upon  recognition  of  the sale  based on
historical warranty rates and our assumptions of future warranty  claims. The  warranty  accrual is

45

included as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets.  Although our products  undergo
quality assurance and testing procedures throughout the production process, our  warranty  obligation is
affected by product failure rates, material usage  and  service  delivery costs incurred in correcting a
product failure. Although our actual warranty costs have historically been  consistent with  expectations,
to the extent warranty claim activity or costs  associated with  servicing those claims differ from our
estimates, revisions to the warranty accrual may be required.

Derivative financial instruments. All derivative instruments are recorded as assets  or liabilities at

fair value, which is calculated as an estimate of the future cash flows, and  subsequent changes in a
derivative’s fair value are recognized in  income,  unless specific hedge accounting criteria  are met.
Changes in the fair value of a derivative  that is highly  effective and  designated as a cash flow  hedge are
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive  income  until the forecasted transaction occurs or it
becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. We perform  an assessment at the
inception of the hedge, and on a quarterly  basis thereafter,  to  determine  whether  our  derivatives are
highly effective in  offsetting changes  in the value of the  hedged items.  Any  changes in the fair value
resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are immediately recognized as  income or  expense.

Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2012,  our revenue increased by $139.7  million, or  8.5%, to
$1,791.4 million, compared to $1,651.7  million  for the  year ended December  31, 2011. Included in this

47

change in revenue are a decrease of approximately $76.8  million from the impact of foreign exchange
due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the  Euro  and  other foreign currencies and an
increase of approximately $19.8 million attributable to recent acquisitions.  Excluding the  effects of
foreign exchange and our recent acquisitions, revenue increased by $196.7 million, or 11.9%. The
increase in revenue on an adjusted basis is attributable to both the  Scientific  Instruments  segment,
which increased by $158.5 million, or 10.2%, and  the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment,  which
increased by $33.9 million, or 29.9%.

Revenue in the Scientific Instruments segment  reflects an increase in sales from many of our core
technologies, particularly nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and X-ray products. The mix
of products sold in the Scientific Instruments  segment during 2012 reflects  increased  demand from
academic, government and industrial customers.  We attribute the increase  in sales to academic and
government customers to increased spending from these customers and to new product introductions.
The improvement in revenues from our industrial customers reflects continued  growth in these end
markets and our new product introductions.  Revenues in  the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment
increased primarily due to recognition of license revenue on  the sale  of technology. In addition,
revenue benefitted from higher demand for low temperature  superconducting wire.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012,  was  $960.0 million, resulting  in a gross

profit margin of 46.4%, compared to cost of revenue of $899.2 million,  resulting in a  gross profit
margin of 45.6%, for the year ended December  31, 2011.  The  increase in  cost of revenue is primarily a
function of the higher revenues described  above.  Our cost  of  revenue  for  the year  ended December 31,
2012 includes charges of $21.9 million  representing the difference  between  the fair value and the
historical cost of inventories acquired in business combinations and sold during the period, amortization
of acquisition-related intangible assets, and acquisition-related fixed asset charges. Our cost of  revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2011  includes charges  of $24.4 million representing inventory
allowances for the rework of certain specialty  magnets that  did not  meet  customer  specifications, the
difference between the fair value and  the cost of  inventories acquired in business combinations and
sold during the period, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Excluding  these
charges, our gross profit margin for the year ended  December  31, 2012 and 2011 was 47.6% and
47.0%, respectively. The higher gross profit  margin was driven by license revenue from the  sale of
technology in the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment, which had  minimal  associated cost, and
sales  of our newly introduced products which carry higher gross margins than  our  previous generations
of products. Offsetting these items were increasing pricing pressures in certain markets, changes in the
mix of products and lower gross profit margins in our  CAM division  due to  increased production costs.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expense for  the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to

$442.4 million, or 24.7% of revenue, from  $406.6 million, or 24.6%  of revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is  driven by increases
in headcount from our recent acquisitions and increases in headcount  to  support planned  revenue
growth in our existing businesses.

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for the year ended December 31,  2012 increased to

$195.3 million, or 10.9% of revenue, from  $177.2 million, or 10.7%  of revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2011. The increase in research and development expenses is  attributable  to  increases in
headcount from recent acquisitions and increases in  headcount and material costs to support future
product introductions in our existing  businesses.

Impairment of Assets

The Company recorded an impairment of assets  of  $23.8 million for the year ended December 31,

2012, comprising goodwill and definite-lived intangible  asset  impairment charges of $1.4 million and
$16.4 million, respectively, relating to our CAM division, and an impairment charge of $6.0  million of
other long-lived assets to reduce the carrying value to their estimated fair  value.

Write-off of Deferred Offering Costs

In September 2010, we announced plans to sell a minority ownership position in our BEST
subsidiary through an initial public offering of the capital stock  of  BEST. As a result  of  economic and
market factors, the timing of the BEST initial public  offering  was  uncertain and  deferred offering costs
totaling $3.4 million were expensed in the  third quarter  of  2011. In March  2012, we  determined not to
proceed with the initial public offering of the capital stock  of  BEST.

Other Charges

Other charges, net of $13.9 million recorded  in 2012 consist of $11.1  million of legal and other

professional service fees associated with  our internal  investigation and  review of our operations in
China, $2.0 million related to two factory relocations that are occurring within the  Energy  & Supercon
Technologies segment, and $0.8 million of other charges.

Other charges, net of $9.7 million recorded  in 2011 consist of charges recorded entirely in the
Scientific Instruments segment. The charges recorded  in 2011 consist of $4.2 million of acquisition-
related costs associated with the nano  surfaces business,  chemical  analysis business and other
acquisitions completed during the year.  Acquisition-related  costs  consist of  costs incurred under
transition service arrangements we entered into with the sellers of the  nano surfaces and chemical
analysis businesses and transaction costs,  including legal, accounting and other fees. Other charges, net
for the year ended December 31, 2011  also includes $4.3  million  of legal and other professional service
fees associated with our internal investigation  and  review of our operations in China and $1.2 million of
other charges.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net during the  year ended December  31, 2012 was $(17.7)

million, compared to $(10.1) million  for the  year ended December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2012,  the major components within interest and  other
income (expense), net were net interest expense of  $13.4 million and foreign currency exchange  losses
of $6.8 million, partially offset by a $2.2 million gain  on the sale of  a  product line during 2012.  During
the year ended December 31, 2011, the major  components within interest and other income (expense),
net, consisted of net interest expense of $6.3 million and foreign currency exchange losses of $4.4
million.

The increase in interest expense is primarily  a function of higher average  outstanding debt

balances throughout 2012 and an increase in  the average interest rates we pay on outstanding
borrowings due to entering into a longer-term debt arrangement  in 2012 with higher interest rates. The
losses on foreign currency exchange rates during 2012 were primarily a  function of changes in  exchange
rates between the Euro and the Swiss  Franc against the U.S. Dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision generally reflects amounts  for non-U.S. entities only. We  maintain a full
valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets, including our  U.S. net operating losses and tax
credits, until evidence exists that it is more likely than  not  that the loss  carryforward and credit

49

amounts will be utilized to offset U.S. taxable income. Our  tax  rate  may change over time as the
amount and mix of income and taxes outside the U.S. changes.

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2012 was  $60.1 million compared to an
income tax provision of $51.5 million for the year ended  December  31, 2011,  representing  effective tax
rates of 43.5% and 35.4%, respectively. The  increase in the effective tax rate is  primarily due to the
impairment charges, which are unbenefited in certain jurisdictions.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year ended December 31, 2012 was

$0.7 million compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The  net income
attributable to noncontrolling interests  represents the minority shareholders’  proportionate share of the
net income recorded by our majority-owned indirect  subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Bruker Corporation

Our net  income attributable to Bruker  Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2012 was
$77.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared  to  net income of  $92.3 million, or $0.55  per  diluted
share, for 2011. The decrease for the  year ended December 31, 2012 was due to increases  in operating
expenses, including impairment of goodwill, intangibles, and  other long-lived assets, higher spending on
non-recurring items and higher net interest  expense. These  were partially offset by revenue growth and
higher gross margins.

Scientific Instruments Segment Revenues

Scientific Instruments segment revenue increased by $112.0 million, or 7.2%,  to  $1,666.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,554.1 million for the year ended  December 31,
2011. Included in this change in revenue is  a decrease of approximately $66.3 million from the  impact
of foreign exchange due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus  the Euro and  other  foreign
currencies and an increase of approximately $19.8 million attributable  to  our  recent acquisitions.
Excluding the effect of foreign exchange and  acquisitions,  revenue increased by $158.5 million, or
10.2%. The increase in revenue, excluding  the effect of foreign exchange and acquisitions, reflects an
increase in sales from many of our core technologies, particularly nuclear magnetic resonance,  mass
spectrometry and X-ray products.

from the impact of foreign exchange due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro and
other foreign currencies. Excluding the  effect of foreign exchange, revenue increased by $33.9 million,
or 29.9%. The increase in revenue, excluding the  effect of foreign  exchange, is primarily attributable to
license revenue from the sale of technology, as  well as higher  demand for low temperature
superconducting wire.

Scientific Instruments income from operations for the year ended  December 31,  2012 was $140.8

million, resulting in an operating margin of 8.5%, compared to income from operations of $162.8
million, resulting in an operating margin of 10.5%, for the year  ended  December 31, 2011. Income
from operations includes $59.2 million and $37.5 million in the years ended December 31,  2012 and
2011, respectively, of various charges to inventory,  amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets,
impairment of goodwill, definite-lived  intangible assets and other long-lived assets,  acquisition-related
fixed asset charges, and other charges. Excluding  these  costs, income from operations in  the Scientific
Instruments segment would have been $200.0  million and $200.3 million, resulting in operating margins
of 12.0% and 12.9%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Operating margins
declined as a result of the increased  pricing  pressure  in certain markets, product mix and  higher
operating expenses offset, in part, by  higher revenues.

Gross profit margin in the Scientific Instruments segment for the  year ended December  31, 2012

was 47.5%, compared with 47.2% for the  year  ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the effects of
inventory and fixed asset charges, amortization of acquisition-related  intangible  assets and restructuring
charges totaling, in the aggregate, $21.7 million and  $24.1 million for the years ended December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively, gross profit margins  were 48.8%  and 48.7%, respectively,  for the years
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The  increase in  gross profit  margins was driven by sales of our
newly introduced products which carry higher gross margins than our previous generations of products.
Offsetting this increase were increasing  pricing  pressures  in certain markets, changes  in the mix of
products and our CAM division contributing lower  gross profit  margins due to increased production
costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses  and research  and  development  expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2012 in the Scientific Instruments segment  increased to $616.0 million,  or 37.0%
of segment revenue, from $560.8 million,  or 36.1% of segment  revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2011. This increase is a function of incremental investments  in sales and  marketing
activities and research and development activities, as well as increases in  operating expenses related  to
the acquisitions completed in 2011 and 2012.  These cost  increases primarily relate to additional
headcount, higher sales commission expenses as a  result of higher revenues and  higher material costs.

The Company recorded an impairment of assets  within the Scientific  Instruments  segment of $22.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2012, comprised of goodwill and definite-lived  intangible asset
impairment charges of $1.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively,  in our CAM division, and an
impairment charge of $4.8 million of other long-lived assets  to  reduce the carrying value  to  their
estimated fair value.

52

Energy & Supercon Technologies income from  operations  for the  year ended December 31, 2012

was $12.8 million, resulting in an operating margin of 9.4%, compared  to a  loss from  operations of  $4.1
million, resulting in an operating margin of (3.6)%,  for  the year ended December 31, 2011.  The
increase in operating margin is the result of higher revenues, in particular the recognition of license
revenue from the sale of technology, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The increase in
operating expenses is a function of incremental investments in sales and marketing activities and
research and development activities, as  well as  an impairment of assets of $1.2 million recorded for the
year ended December 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying  value of certain tangible long-lived assets to their
estimated fair value.

Revenue

Our revenue increased by $346.8 million, or  26.6%, to $1,651.7 million for the year ended

December 31, 2011, compared to $1,304.9 million for  the year  ended December 31, 2010. Included in
this  change in revenue is an increase of approximately $78.9 million from  the impact of foreign
exchange due to the weakening of the U.S.  Dollar versus the Euro and other foreign currencies and an
increase of approximately $148.5 million attributable to our  recent acquisitions.  Excluding the  effect of
foreign exchange and our recent acquisitions, revenue increased by $119.4 million, or 9.2%. The
increase in revenue, on an adjusted basis, is attributable to both the  Scientific  Instruments  segment,
which increased by $105.8 million, or 8.6%, and  the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment,  which
increased by $17.9 million, or 19.8%. Revenue in  the Scientific Instruments segment  reflects an increase
in sales many of our core technologies. Revenue in the  Energy & Supercon Technologies segment
increased due to higher demand for low  temperature superconducting wire.

Revenue in the Scientific Instruments segment  reflects an increase in sales from many of our core

technologies, particularly X-ray and elemental analysis, magnetic resonance,  mass  spectrometry and
molecular spectroscopy products. The mix of products  sold in the Scientific Instruments  segment during
2011 reflects increased demand from  academic, government and industrial customers. We attribute the
increase in sales of mass spectrometry and  magnetic resonance  products to spending by academic  and
government customers, to new product introductions and to stimulus packages  implemented by
governments of various countries, particularly the U.S. The improvement in revenues from our
industrial customers reflects an ongoing economic improvement  in these end markets.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011,  was  $899.2 million, resulting  in a gross
profit margin of 45.6%, compared to cost of product and  service revenue  of  $700.9 million, resulting in
a gross  profit margin of 46.3%, for the year ended  December  31, 2010. The increase  in cost  of revenue
is primarily a function of the higher material costs that  result from  the higher revenues described
above. However, the increase in costs is also attributable to increases in headcount from our recent
acquisitions and increases in headcount to support  our  current production requirements. The chemical
analysis business also contributed to the increase in cost  of  revenue because of the costs associated with
relocating factories from former Varian Inc.  sites to our own facilities. Changes in foreign  currency
exchange rates, primarily the strengthening  of  the Euro and  Swiss Franc, also contributed  to  the
increase in cost of revenue because the  majority of our production facilities are  located  in Europe.

We recorded $15.1 million of amortization expense in cost of  revenue associated with technology-

related intangible assets and an additional $4.5 million representing the difference  between  the fair
value and historical cost of inventories acquired in  business combinations and  sold  in 2011. Our cost  of
revenue in 2011 also includes $4.6 million of inventory  reserves for the rework  of  certain specialty
magnets that did not meet customer  specifications. In 2010, we recorded  $4.3  million  of  amortization
expense in cost of revenue, $7.2 million related to the fair value of inventories acquired in  recent
acquisitions and $3.4 million related to the  specialty magnets that did not meet customer specifications.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expense for  the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to

$406.6 million, or 24.6% of revenue, from  $301.1 million, or 23.1%  of revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is  attributable  to
increases in headcount from recent acquisitions,  primarily the nano  surfaces and  chemical analysis
businesses, and increases in headcount  to  support planned revenue growth in our existing  businesses. In
addition, an increase in new order bookings and revenue  in 2011 resulted in higher commission
expense. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the strengthening of the  Euro, also
negatively impacted our selling, general  and administrative expenses  because a majority of our selling
and marketing employees are located in Europe.

54

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for the year ended December 31,  2011 increased to $177.2

million, or 10.7% of revenue, from $141.4 million,  or 10.8% of revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The increase in research and development expenses is  attributable  to  increases in
headcount from recent acquisitions and increases in  headcount and material costs to support future
product introductions in our existing  businesses.  The  increase in  research  and development expenses is
also attributable to changes in foreign currency  exchange rates,  primarily the  strengthening of  the Euro,
which negatively impact our research and development expenses  because a majority  of our  research  and
development is performed in Europe.

Write-off of Deferred Offering Costs

In September 2010, we announced plans to sell a minority ownership position in our BEST
subsidiary through an initial public offering of the capital stock  of  BEST. As a result  of  economic and
market factors, the timing of the BEST initial public  offering  was  uncertain and  deferred offering costs
totaling $3.4 million were expensed in the  third quarter  of  2011. In March  2012, we  determined not to
proceed with the initial public offering of the capital stock  of  BEST.

Other Charges

Other charges, net of $9.7 million recorded  in 2011 consist of charges recorded entirely in the
Scientific Instruments segment. The charges recorded  in 2011 consist of $4.2 million of acquisition-
related costs associated with the nano  surfaces business,  chemical  analysis business and other
acquisitions completed during the year.  Acquisition-related  costs  consist of  costs incurred under
transition service arrangements we entered into with the sellers of the  nano surfaces and chemical
analysis businesses and transaction costs,  including legal, accounting and other fees. The transition
services agreements expired in 2011 and we  do not  expect  these costs to recur. Other charges, net for
the year ended December 31, 2011 also includes $4.3 million  of  legal and other professional service
fees associated with our internal investigation  and  $1.2 million  of  other charges.

Other charges, net of $5.8 million recorded  in 2010 consist of charges recorded entirely in the
Scientific Instruments segment. The charges recorded  in 2010 consist of $4.6 million of acquisition-
related costs, $0.2 million of restructuring  charges and a  loss of $1.0  million  recorded in connection
with the divestiture of a business. Acquisition-related costs recorded  in 2010  relate to our  acquisitions
of the nano surfaces and chemical analysis businesses and  consist of costs  incurred under transition
service arrangements we entered into with the sellers and transaction costs, including  legal, accounting
and other fees. Restructuring charges  related primarily to severance  incurred in  connection with  closing
a production facility in Herzogenrath, Germany and the loss  on the sale of investment  is associated
with our investment in Bruker Baltic, Ltd., a  manufacturing  site  located in Riga, Latvia that was
engaged in the production of certain components  used  in our  X-ray product lines.  The restructuring
charges and loss on investment were incurred as part of a broader corporate strategy of reducing costs
and consolidating critical production know-how in  certain key production sites.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net during the  year ended December  31, 2011 was $(10.1)

million, compared to $(5.6) million for the  year ended December 31, 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2011,  the major components within interest and  other
income (expense), net, consisted of net interest expense of  $6.3 million and  realized  and unrealized
losses on foreign currency transactions  of  $4.4 million. During the year ended  December 31,  2010, the
major components within interest and  other income (expense), net, consisted  of net interest expense of
$4.7 million and realized and unrealized  losses on  foreign currency transactions  of  $1.5 million.

55

The increase in interest expense is primarily a function of higher average  outstanding debt
balances throughout 2011 and, to a lesser degree, an  increase in the average interest  rates  we pay on
outstanding borrowings. Losses on foreign currency exchange  rates were primarily a  function of changes
in exchange rates between the Euro and  the Swiss  Franc against the U.S.  Dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2011 was  $51.5 million compared to an
income tax provision of $53.3 million for the year ended  December  31, 2010,  representing  effective tax
rates of 35.4% and 35.5%, respectively. Our tax rate may change over time as the  amount  and mix of
income and taxes outside the U.S. changes. In addition to  the amount and mix of income and taxes
outside the United States, our income  tax  provision can be impacted by discrete  items of  a non-
recurring nature. Discrete items of this  nature resulted  in tax expense of $6.3 million and $2.8 million
for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The  discrete items  recorded in 2011 and
2010 relate to additional amounts accrued  in connection  with ongoing  tax  audits in Germany and
Switzerland. The change in our effective tax rate, excluding the increase in reserves for  tax audits,
relates primarily to reversing certain  valuation allowances in the United States. We were able  to  release
a portion of the valuation allowance on our  deferred tax assets in  the United States  because  of
deferred tax liabilities arising from the identified  intangible assets  acquired  in connection with the
tribology and HPLC businesses. Because  we maintain  a full  valuation  allowance  on our deferred tax
assets in the United States, the deferred tax  liabilities recorded  in connection with these acquisitions
represents a source of future taxable  income  that allows us  to  utilize a portion of  the deferred tax
assets.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.7
million compared to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31,  2010. The net  income  attributable to
noncontrolling interests represents the minority  shareholders’ proportionate share  of the net income
recorded by our majority-owned indirect subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Bruker Corporation

Our net  income for the year ended December 31,  2011 was $92.3 million, or $0.55  per  diluted

share, compared to net income of $95.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for 2010.

Scientific Instruments Segment Revenues

Scientific Instruments segment revenue increased  by $329.0 million, or 26.9%,  to  $1,554.1 million

for the year ended December 31, 2011,  compared to $1,225.1 million for the year ended  December 31,
2010. Included in this change in revenue is an  increase of approximately $74.7 million from the impact
of foreign exchange due to the weakening of the  U.S. Dollar  versus the  Euro  and other foreign
currencies and an increase of approximately $148.5  million  attributable  to our recent  acquisitions.
Excluding the effect of foreign exchange and the  acquisitions, revenue increased by $105.8  million, or
8.6%. The increase in revenue, on an adjusted  basis, is  attributable to an increase  in many of our core
technologies, particularly in X-ray and elemental analysis, magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and
molecular spectroscopy. The mix of products sold in  the Scientific Instruments segment  in 2011 reflects
increased demand  from academic, government and industrial customers.

System revenue and aftermarket revenue  as a percentage of total  Scientific Instruments segment

revenue were as follows during the years ended December 31, 2011  and 2010 (dollars in  millions):

Energy & Supercon Technologies Segment Revenues

Energy & Supercon Technologies segment revenues increased by $22.9 million, or  25.3%, to
$113.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011,  compared to $90.5  million for the year ended
December 31, 2010. Included in this change in revenue is an  increase of approximately $5.0  million
from the impact of foreign exchange due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro and
other foreign currencies. Excluding the  effect of foreign exchange, revenue increased by $17.9 million,
or 19.8%. The increase in revenue, on an adjusted basis, is  attributable to higher  demand for low
temperature superconducting wire.

Scientific Instruments income from operations for the year ended  December 31,  2011 was
$162.8 million, resulting in an operating  margin of 10.5%,  compared to income from operations of
$160.5 million, resulting in an operating  margin of 13.1%,  for  the year ended December 31, 2010.
Income from operations includes $37.5 million and  $24.7 million in the  years ended December 31, 2011
and 2010, respectively, of various charges to inventory, amortization  of  acquisition-related intangible
assets and other charges. Excluding these  costs, income from  operations in Scientific Instruments
segment would have been $200.3 million and $185.2 million, resulting in operating margins of 12.9%
and 15.1%, respectively, for the years  ended December 31, 2011  and 2010,  respectively. Operating
margins decreased, despite the increase in revenue,  because of lower gross profit margins and increases
in operating expenses.

Gross profit margin in the Scientific Instruments segment for the  year ended December  31, 2011

was 47.2%, compared with 48.2% for the  year  ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the effects of
inventory and fixed asset charges, amortization of acquisition-related  intangible  assets and restructuring
charges totaling, in the aggregate, $24.1 million and  $14.6 million for the years ended December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively, gross profit margins  were 48.7%  and 49.4%, respectively,  for the years
ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The  decrease in gross  profit  margins resulted  primarily  from
changes in product mix, particularly our gas  chromatography and inductively coupled plasma  products,
which negatively impacted our gross  profit  margins. The chemical analysis business contributed to lower
gross profit margins due to higher than  planned production costs  which were caused, in  part, by costs
and lost production time associated with relocating factories from former Varian  Inc. sites to our own
facilities. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the strengthening of the Euro and Swiss
Franc, also contributed to the decrease because  the majority of our  production facilities are  located in
Europe.

For the year ended December 31, 2011,  selling, general and administrative expenses  and research
and development expenses in the Scientific Instruments segment  increased to $560.8 million,  or 36.1%
of segment revenue, from $423.7 million,  or 34.6% of segment  revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2010. This increase is a function of incremental investments  in sales and  marketing
activities and research and development activities that  we believe  will generate  future growth,  as well as
increases in operating expenses related to recently completed acquisitions. Changes  in foreign currency
exchange rates, primarily the strengthening  of  the Euro and  Swiss Franc, also contributed  to  the
increase because the majority of our employees are located in Europe.

Energy & Supercon Technologies segment loss from operations for the year ended  December 31,
2011 was $4.1 million, resulting in an operating margin  of (3.6)%,  compared to a loss from operations
of $2.6 million, resulting in an operating margin of (2.9)%, for the year  ended  December 31, 2010.
Income from operations for the year  ended December 31, 2011  includes  $3.4 million of deferred
offering costs that were written-off in  the third quarter of 2011 because of uncertainty in the timing  of
a future public offering of BEST capital stock. Excluding the deferred  offering  costs, the  loss from
operations in the Energy & Supercon Technologies segment  would have been $0.7 million, or an
operating margin of (0.6)% for the year  ended December  31, 2011. The  improvement in  operating
margin, excluding the impact of the written-off deferred offering costs,  is primarily the result of the
higher revenue described above and higher  gross profit margins offset, in part, by higher operating
expenses. The increase in operating expenses is a function of incremental investments in research and
development activities and selling and  marketing  activities that  we believe will generate future  growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We currently 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 make in  the future.  Historically, we have financed our growth
through cash flow generation and a combination  of  debt  financings and issuances of common stock. In
the future, there are no assurances that additional financing alternatives will be available to us, if
required, or if available, will be obtained on terms  favorable to us.

During the year ended December 31, 2012,  net cash  provided by operating activities was

$133.1 million, resulting primarily from  $191.4 million  of consolidated net income adjusted for  non-cash
items, partially offset by a $58.3 million increase in working capital. We recorded an  impairment of
assets of $23.8 million for the year ended December  31, 2012, comprising goodwill and definite-lived
intangible asset impairment charges of  $1.4 million  and  $16.4  million,  respectively, in our  CAM
division, and an impairment charge of $6.0 million of other long-lived assets  to  reduce the carrying
value to their estimated fair value. The increase in working  capital for  the year ended December 31,
2012 is primarily the result of an increase in  inventory build. During the  year ended December  31,
2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $87.7 million, resulting  primarily  from $181.2 million
of consolidated net income adjusted  for non-cash items offset,  in part, by $93.5 million of increases in
working capital.

During the year ended December 31, 2012,  net cash  used  in investing activities was  $93.2 million,
compared to net cash used in investing  activities of $68.7 million  during the year ended December 31,
2011. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended  December  31, 2012 was attributable
primarily to $69.5 million of capital expenditures, net and $27.0  million used for acquisitions, partially
offset by $3.3 million received from disposal of a  product line. Cash used in investing activities  during
the year ended December 31, 2011 was attributable primarily to $54.4  million of capital  expenditures,
net and $14.3 million used for acquisitions. We currently anticipate that our capital spending will be
approximately $55.0 million in 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012,  net cash  provided by financing  activities was $34.4
million, compared to net cash provided  by  financing activities of $3.3 million during the year ended
December 31, 2011. Cash provided by financing activities  during  the year ended December 31, 2012
was primarily attributable to $240.0 million of borrowings  under the Note Purchase Agreement
described below, offset, in part, by repayments of revolving  lines of  credit of  $216.5 million, proceeds  of
revolving lines of credit of $93.0 million  and  net debt repayments  under various long-term  and short-
term arrangements of $83.2 million. Cash provided  by financing activities  during the  year  ended
December 31, 2011 was attributable to $3.3  million  of  net proceeds  from the issuance of common
stock.

At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011,  we had $288.2 million and $212.4  million,
respectively, of foreign cash and cash equivalents, most  significantly in Germany and Switzerland,
compared to a total amount of cash  and  cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 and December 31,
2011 of $310.6 million and $246.0 million, respectively. If  the cash  and  cash equivalents held by our
foreign subsidiaries are needed to fund operations in  the U.S., or we otherwise elect to repatriate the
unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in the  form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares
of the subsidiaries were sold or transferred, we  would likely  be  subject to additional U.S.  income taxes,
net of the impact of any available tax credits, which  could result in a higher effective tax rate in the
future. However, since we have significant current investment plans outside  the U.S.,  it is our current
intent to indefinitely reinvest unremitted earnings in our foreign subsidiaries. Further, based on our
current plans and  anticipated cash needs to fund our U.S.  operations, we do not foresee a need to
repatriate earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

At December 31, 2012, we had outstanding debt totaling $337.2  million,  consisting of $240.0
million outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement described below, $93.0 million outstanding
under the revolving loan component of the Amended Credit Agreement  described below and
$4.2 million under capital lease obligations and other loans. At December 31, 2011,  we had outstanding
debt totaling $303.1 million consisting  of  $82.5 million outstanding under the term  loan component of
our  credit facilities, $216.5 million outstanding under the revolving loan component  of  our  credit
facilities, and $4.1 million under capital  lease obligations.

In February 2008, we entered into a credit agreement (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a syndicate
of lenders, which provided for a revolving  credit line with a maximum commitment of $230.0 million
and a term loan facility of $150.0 million. The outstanding  principal  under the term loan was payable in
quarterly installments through December 2012. As of December 31,  2012, there were no  amounts
outstanding under the term loan. Borrowings under  the Credit Agreement accrued  interest, at our
option, at either (i) the higher of the  prime rate or the  federal  funds  rate  plus 0.50%, or  (ii) adjusted
LIBOR, plus margins ranging from 0.40% to 1.25% and a facility  fee ranging from  0.10% to 0.20%.

In May 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement of  the  Credit  Agreement, or the
Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit  Agreement increased the maximum commitment on
our  revolving credit line to $250.0  million and extended the  maturity date to May 2016.  Borrowings
under the revolving credit line of the Amended Credit Agreement  accrue interest, at our option,  at
either (a) the greatest of (i) the prime  rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus  0.50%, (iii)  adjusted LIBOR
plus 1.00% or (iv) LIBOR, plus margins ranging  from 0.80% to 1.65%. There is also a facility fee
ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%. The Amended  Credit  Agreement had no impact on the maturity or
pricing of our term loan that matured on  December 31,  2012.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured  by guarantees from certain
material subsidiaries, as defined in the  Amended Credit Agreement, and  Bruker Energy & Supercon
Technologies, Inc. The Amended Credit  Agreement also  requires that we maintain certain financial
ratios related to maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage, as  defined  in the Amended Credit
Agreement. Specifically, our leverage ratio cannot exceed  3.0 and  our interest  coverage  ratio cannot be
less  than 3.0. In addition to the financial ratios,  the Amended  Credit  Agreement restricts,  among other
things, our ability to do the following: make certain  payments;  incur additional debt;  incur  certain liens;
make certain investments, including derivative agreements;  merge, consolidate,  sell or  transfer  all or
substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our failure to comply
with any of these restrictions or covenants  may result in an event  of default under the applicable debt
instrument, which could permit acceleration  of the debt under  that instrument and require us to prepay
that debt before its scheduled due date. As  of December  31, 2012, the  latest measurement date, we
were in compliance with the covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement  as our leverage  ratio was 1.2
and our interest coverage ratio was 13.1.

Other revolving loans are with various financial  institutions located primarily in Germany,
Switzerland and France. The following  is a summary of the maximum commitments and net amounts

In January 2012, we entered into a note purchase agreement  (the  ‘‘Note Purchase  Agreement’’)

with a group of accredited institutional investors. Under the Note Purchase Agreement we  issued and
sold $240.0 million of senior notes, which consist of the following:

(cid:129) $20.0 million 3.16% Series 2012A senior notes  due  January 18, 2017;

(cid:129) $15.0 million 3.74% Series 2012A senior notes  due  January 18, 2019;

(cid:129) $105.0 million 4.31% Series 2012A senior notes  due  January 18, 2022; and

(cid:129) $100.0 million 4.46% Series 2012A senior notes  due  January 18, 2024.

We used a portion of the net proceeds of the  senior notes to reduce outstanding indebtedness

under our revolving credit facilities and  intend to use the remainder  for  general corporate purposes.
We  currently expect to incur approximately  $13 million of interest expense  in 2013.

In 2013, we expect to incur $20 million  to  $25 million of expense related to facility exits  within our

CAM division and Bruker Energy & Supercon  Technologies segment, as well as  various outsourcing
initiatives.

As of December 31, 2012, we have approximately  $27.9 million of U.S. net operating  loss
carryforwards available to reduce future  state taxable  income, which expire  at various  times  through
2032, and approximately $51.9 million  of German Trade Tax net operating losses that are  carried
forward indefinitely. We also have U.S. tax credits of approximately $13.0 million available to offset
future tax liabilities that expire at various dates.  These  credits include research  and development  tax
credits of $11.6 million expiring at various times through 2032 and foreign tax credits  of $1.4 million
expiring at various times through 2022.  These U.S. operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards may be
subject to limitations under provisions of the  Internal Revenue  Code.

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. The amount that is  less  than one year is

61

attributable to a tax audit in Switzerland that was  settled in the  fourth  quarter of  2012 and  will  be  paid
in 2013. The remaining total amount of uncertain tax  contingencies is included in the ‘‘1-3  Years’’
column as we are not able to reasonably estimate  the timing of potential  future payments. 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

We lease certain office space from certain of our  principal  shareholders, certain of which are also

members of our Board of Directors. During each  of  the years ended December 31,  2012, 2011 and
2010, these shareholders were paid approximately $2.4 million, which was estimated to be equal to the
fair market value of the rentals.

During the years ended December 31, 2012,  2011 and 2010, we incurred expenses of  $2.4 million,
$3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively,  to  a law firm in which one of the  members of our Board of
Directors is a partner.

During the years ended December 31, 2012,  2011 and 2010, we incurred expenses of  $0.4 million,
$0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively,  to  a financial services firm in  which one of the  members of
our  Board of Directors is a partner.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU  No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this standard, entities will be required to disclose
additional information with respect to changes  in accumulated other comprehensive  income  (AOCI)
balances by component and significant items reclassified  out of AOCI.  Expanded disclosures  for
presentation of changes in AOCI involve disaggregating  the total change of  each  component of other
comprehensive income as well as presenting  separately  for  each such component the  portion of the
change in AOCI related to (1) amounts reclassified into  income and  (2) current-period other
comprehensive income. Additionally, for amounts reclassified into income,  disclosure in one  location
would be required, based upon each specific  AOCI component, of the amounts impacting individual
income statement line items. Disclosure of  the income  statement  line item impacts will be required only
for components of AOCI reclassified  into income  in their entirety. The  disclosures required with
respect to income statement line item impacts would be made in either  the  notes to the  consolidated
financial statements or parenthetically  on the  face of  the financial statements. The ASU is  effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this amendment in  2013 will not have
an impact on our consolidated financial  position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets  for Impairment. This update is intended to simplify the guidance
for impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets as  it provides entities an option to perform a
qualitative assessment to determine whether  further impairment testing  is necessary. The amended
provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after  September 15, 2012. However  early adoption is
permitted. The adoption of this amendment in  2013 will not have an  impact  on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are potentially exposed to market  risks  associated with changes in foreign  exchange 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 exchange  and
interest rate risk include market valuations and sensitivity analysis.

Impact of Foreign Currencies

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, limiting our transaction risk exposure. However,  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 did 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. In the  years  ended December  31, 2012 and
2011 our revenue by geography was as follows (dollars in millions):

Changes in foreign currency exchange  rates  decreased  our revenue by approximately 5% in  the
year ended December 31, 2012 and increased revenue  by 6% in the  year ended December  31, 2011.

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries, where  the functional currency is the local
currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange  rates, or historical  rates,  as
appropriate. 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. In the  years  ended December  31, 2012 and 2011, we
recorded net gains (losses) from currency  translation adjustments of $8.8 million and $(14.7) million,
respectively. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions  are reported in  interest and
other income (expense), net in the consolidated  statements of income  and  comprehensive income. Our
foreign exchange losses, net were $6.8  million and $4.4 million for years ended  December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively.

From time to time, we have entered into foreign currency contracts  in order  to  minimize the
volatility that fluctuations in exchange rates 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. 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  interest and other income (expense), net  in the consolidated statements of income
and comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had foreign currency  contracts with notional amounts

aggregating $94.3 million and $80.2 million,  respectively. At December 31, 2012,  the Company had the
following notional amounts outstanding under foreign currency contracts  (in millions):

Based on the contractual maturities of  these contracts and exchange rates as of December 31,

2012, we anticipate that these contracts  will  result in  net cash  flows of  $1.8 million in 2013.  At
December 31, 2012, assuming all other variables are  constant, if the  U.S. Dollar weakened by 10%, the
market value of our foreign currency contracts would increase by  approximately  $0.2 million and  if the
U.S. Dollar strengthened by 10%, the market value of our foreign currency  contracts would  decrease by
approximately $0.2 million.

We will continue to evaluate our currency risks and  in the future may  utilize foreign currency

contracts more frequently as part of a transactional  hedging program.

Impact of Interest Rates

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. To manage the  exposure
that interest rate volatility might have on our  earnings and cash flows,  we  have historically entered into
interest rate swap arrangements. At December 31, 2012, an  interest  rate swap in the  amount  of
$90.0 million matured. We currently  have a  higher level of fixed rate debt, which limits  our  exposure to
adverse movements in interest rates.

Impact of Commodity Prices

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, 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 December 31,  2012 and December  31, 2011, we had
fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.4 million and $3.9 million,
respectively. The fair value of the fixed price  commodity contracts at  December  31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011 was $(0.2) million and $0.0 million, respectively. We will continue  to  evaluate our
commodity risks and may utilize commodity forward  purchase  contracts  more  frequently in the future.

Inflation

We do not believe inflation had a material impact on our  business  or  operating results during any

of the periods presented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders  of
Bruker Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bruker  Corporation as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income, and statements of shareholders’ equity, and cash flows  for each of the three  years  in the period
ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility  of  the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an  opinion on  these financial  statements  based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards  of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the  financial  statements are free  of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures  in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used  and significant
estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,

the consolidated financial position of Bruker Corporation at  December  31, 2012 and 2011,  and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash  flows  for  each  of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S.  generally accepted accounting  principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), Bruker Corporation’s internal  control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated  Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of the Treadway Commission  and our report  dated
February 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion  thereon.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant

accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in  these notes to the consolidated financial
statements.

73

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  the Company and all

majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions  have been
eliminated.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represents the  minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the

Company’s majority-owned indirect subsidiaries. The portion  of net income or net  loss attributable to
non-controlling interests is presented as  net income  attributable to noncontrolling interests in
consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated statements of income  and comprehensive income, and  the
portion of other comprehensive income of  these subsidiaries is  presented  in the consolidated statements
of shareholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that  there are no material

recognized or unrecognized subsequent events.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid  investments with original maturities  of

three months or less at the date of acquisition.  Cash  and cash equivalents primarily include cash on
hand, money market funds and time  deposits.  Time deposits represent amounts on  deposit in  banks
and temporarily invested in instruments with maturities of  three  months  or  less  at the  time of purchase.
Certain of these investments represent  deposits which  are not insured  by the FDIC or any other
government agency. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Restricted Cash

Certain customers require the Company  to  provide bank guarantees on customer  advances.
Generally, lines of credit satisfy this requirement. However, to the extent  the required  guarantee
exceeds the available local line of credit, the Company maintains restricted  cash balances. Restricted
cash balances are classified as non-current unless, under the  terms of the  applicable agreements, the
funds will be released from restrictions  within one year from the  balance sheet  date. At December 31,
2012, the Company had $7.6 million  of restricted cash, of which $3.9 million was classified as
non-current. At December 31, 2011,  the Company had $6.1 million of restricted cash,  of which
$3.9 million was classified as non-current.

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives, whether designated in a hedging relationship  or  not,  are recorded on the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes  in fair value of a derivative
instrument depends on whether it has been  designated and qualifies as  part of a hedging relationship
and further, on the type of hedging relationship.  For those derivative  instruments that are  designated
and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate  the  hedging instrument,  based on the
exposure being hedged, as a fair value  hedge, cash flow hedge  or a hedge of a  net investment in  a
foreign operation.

A fair value hedge is a derivative instrument  designated for the purpose  of hedging the exposure

of changes in fair value of an asset or a liability resulting from a  particular risk.  If the derivative is
designated as a fair value hedge, the changes  in the fair value  of the derivative and of the hedged  item
attributable to the hedged risk are both recognized in the same caption in the consolidated statements

74

of income and comprehensive income. A cash  flow  hedge is a derivative instrument  designated for the
purpose of hedging the exposure to variability in future cash  flows resulting from a  particular risk. If
the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes  in the fair value of
the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive  income and are recognized  in the
results of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair
value of cash flow hedges are recognized in the results of operations. A hedge of a  net investment in a
foreign operation is achieved through a  derivative  instrument designated for  the purpose of hedging the
exposure of changes in value of investments  in foreign subsidiaries. If the derivative  is designated as a
hedge of a net investment in a foreign  operation,  the effective portions of changes in the  fair value of
the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income  as a  part  of  the currency translation
adjustment. Ineffective portions of net  investment hedges  are recognized in the  results of operations.
For derivative instruments not designated as hedging  instruments, changes  in fair value are  recognized
in the results of operations in the current period.

Fair  Value

The Company applies the following hierarchy to determine the fair  value  of financial  instruments,

which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the  categorization
within the hierarchy upon the lowest level  of  input that  is available and significant  to  the fair value
measurement. The levels in the hierarchy  are defined as  follows:

(cid:129) Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are  quoted prices (unadjusted)  for identical assets

or liabilities in active markets.

(cid:129) Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted  prices  for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are  observable for  the  asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

(cid:129) Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are  unobservable  and significant to the fair value

measurement.

The valuation techniques that may be used by  the Company to determine the  fair value  of Level 2

and Level 3 financial instruments are the  market  approach, the income approach  and the  cost
approach. The market approach uses prices  and  other  relevant  information generated  by  market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets or  liabilities. The income approach uses valuation
techniques to convert future amounts  to  a single  present  value  based on  current market expectations
about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and the excess
earnings method. The cost approach is based  on the  amount  that would be required  to  replace the
service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of  cash equivalents, restricted  cash,

derivative instruments consisting of forward foreign exchange contracts,  commodity  contracts,
derivatives embedded in certain purchase and sale contracts, accounts  receivable, short-term
borrowings, accounts payable, contingent consideration and long-term  debt. The carrying amounts of
the Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable,  short-term borrowings and
accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term  nature. Derivative assets and liabilities
are measured at fair value on a recurring  basis. The Company’s long-term debt consists  principally of a
private placement arrangement entered into in 2012 with various fixed interest rates  based on the
maturity date.

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.

75

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject the Company  to  credit risk consist  of  cash and cash

equivalents, derivative instruments, accounts receivables and restricted cash. The risk  with respect  to
cash and cash equivalents is minimized by the Company’s policy  of investing  in short-term  financial
instruments issued by highly-rated  financial institutions.  The  risk with respect to derivative instruments
is minimized by the Company’s policy  of  entering into arrangements  with highly-rated financial
institutions. The risk with respect to accounts  receivables is  minimized  by  the creditworthiness and
diversity  of the Company’s customers. The Company  performs periodic  credit evaluations  of its
customers’ financial condition and generally requires an advanced  deposit for a portion  of the purchase
price. Credit losses have been within  management’s expectations and  the  allowance for doubtful
accounts totaled $7.9 million and $5.6  million as  of December  31, 2012 and 2011,  respectively. As of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, no single customer  represented 10% of the Company’s accounts
receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, no single  customer represented
10% of the Company’s total revenue.

Inventories

Components of inventory include raw materials,  work-in-process, demonstration units and finished

goods. Demonstration units include systems  which are located in the  Company’s demonstration
laboratories or installed at the sites of potential customers and are considered available  for sale.
Finished goods include in-transit systems that have been shipped to the  Company’s customers, but not
yet installed and accepted by the customer.  All inventories are stated at  the lower of cost or market.
Cost  is determined principally by the first-in, first-out  method  for a majority  of  subsidiaries  and by
average-cost for certain other subsidiaries. The Company  reduces the  carrying value of its inventories
for differences between cost and estimated  net realizable value, taking  into  consideration usage in the
preceding twelve months, expected demand, technological obsolescence and  other  information including
the physical condition of demonstration  and  in-transit inventories.  The  Company records  a charge to
cost of revenue for the amount required to reduce  the carrying value of  inventory  to  net realizable
value. Costs associated with the procurement  of inventories, such as inbound freight charges  and
purchasing and receiving costs, are capitalized as part of inventory and are  also included in the  cost of
revenue line item within the consolidated  statements  of income  and comprehensive income.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at  cost less accumulated  depreciation  and amortization.

Major improvements are capitalized  while expenditures for  maintenance, repairs and minor
improvements are charged to expense as incurred.  When assets are retired or  otherwise disposed of,
the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization  are eliminated  from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the  consolidated statements of  income  and comprehensive
income. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line  basis over the  estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Machinery and equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Computer equipment and software . . . . . . . . .
Furniture and fixtures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Leasehold improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lesser of 15 years or the remaining lease term

25-40 years
3-10 years
3-5 years
3-10 years

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are evaluated for  impairment

on an annual basis, or on an interim  basis when events or  changes in circumstances indicate that the

76

carrying  value may not be recoverable. In assessing the  recoverability  of  goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, the Company must make assumptions  regarding the estimated  future cash flows, and
other factors, to determine the fair value of these assets.  If these estimates or  their  related assumptions
change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges against these assets
in the reporting period in which the impairment is determined.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at  the reporting unit level, which is  the operating
segment or one level below an operating segment. The first step involves comparing the fair values of
the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values,  including  goodwill.  The  Company
generally determines fair value of reporting  units using a  weighting  of both the market and the income
methodologies. Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant  judgment by
management. If the carrying amount  of  a reporting unit  exceeds  the fair  value of the  reporting unit, the
Company performs the second step of the  goodwill  impairment test to measure  the amount of the
impairment. In the second step of the goodwill impairment  test the  Company compares the implied  fair
value of the reporting unit’s goodwill  with the  carrying value of that goodwill.

Acquired in process research and development, or IPR&D,  acquired as part  of  business
combinations under the acquisition method represents  ongoing development  work associated  with
enhancements to existing products, as well as the  development of next generation products.  IPR&D  is
initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an  indefinite life  and assessed  for
impairment on an annual basis, or when indicators  of impairment are  identified.  When the IPR&D
project is complete, it is reclassified as a  finite-lived  intangible asset and  is amortized over its estimated
useful life, typically seven to ten years. If an IPR&D  project  is abandoned before completion or is
otherwise determined to be impaired, the  value  of  the asset  or  the amount of the impairment is
charged to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period the project
is abandoned or impaired.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized  on a straight-line basis over their estimated

useful lives as follows:

Existing technology and related patents . . . . . .
Customer and distributor relationships . . . . . . .
Trade names . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3-10 years
5-12 years
5-10 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived  assets used in operations  when indicators  of

impairment are present and the quoted market price, if available, or the estimated fair value of those
assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. Impairment losses are charged to the consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income for the  difference between the fair value  and carrying
value of the asset.

Warranty Costs and Deferred Revenue

The Company typically provides a one year parts and  labor warranty with the purchase of

equipment. The anticipated cost for this warranty is  accrued upon  recognition  of  the sale  and is
included as a current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s
warranty reserve reflects estimated material and labor costs for potential  product issues for which the
Company expects to incur an obligation. The  Company’s estimates  of  anticipated  rates  of  warranty
claims and costs are primarily based  on historical information and future  forecasts. The Company
assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve  on a quarterly basis and  adjusts the  amount  as necessary.
If the historical data used to calculate  the adequacy of  the warranty reserve is not indicative of future
requirements, additional or reduced warranty  reserves may be required.

77

The Company also offers to its customers  extended warranty and  service agreements extending

beyond the initial warranty for a fee. These fees are recorded  as deferred revenue and recognized
ratably into income over the life of the extended warranty contract once the extended warranty period
has commenced.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the  expected future tax  consequences of
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the  income  tax basis of
assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against  any net deferred tax asset if, based on the
available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

The Company records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions  in accordance  with the guidance

that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income  taxes recognized  in a  Company’s financial
statements by prescribing a minimum  recognition  threshold and  measurement attribute  for the financial
statement recognition and measurement  of a tax position taken  or expected  to  be  taken in a tax return.

Customer Advances

The Company typically requires an advance deposit under the  terms and conditions of contracts
with customers. These deposits are recorded as a  liability  until revenue is recognized on  the specific
contract in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from  systems sales when  persuasive evidence  of an arrangement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable,  title and  risk  of  loss  has been transferred to the customer and
collectability of the resulting receivable  is reasonably assured. Title and risk  of  loss is generally
transferred upon customer acceptance for a system that  has been delivered to the  customer. When
products are sold through an independent distributor or  a strategic distribution partner  who assumes
responsibility for installation, the Company recognizes the system  sale when the product has been
shipped and title and risk of loss have been  transferred  to the distributor. The Company’s  distributors
do not have price protection rights or rights of return;  however, the  Company’s products are typically
warranted to be free from defect for a period of  one  year. Revenue is deferred until cash is  received
when collectability is not reasonably  assured or  when the  price is not  fixed  or determinable.

For transactions entered into subsequent to the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition

(Topic 605)- Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, that include multiple elements, arrangement
consideration is allocated to each element based  on the relative selling prices of  all  of  the elements  in
the arrangement using the fair value  hierarchy as  required by ASU  No. 2009-13. The  Company limits
the amount of revenue recognized for  delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the
future delivery of products or services, future performance  obligations,  or subject  to  customer-specific
return or refund privileges.

The Company attempts to determine the fair value  of its  products  and services based  on vendor

specific objective evidence (‘‘VSOE’’). The Company  determines VSOE  based on its normal selling
pricing and discounting practices for the specific product or service when  sold  on a  stand-alone basis.
In determining VSOE, the Company’s policy requires a substantial majority  of  selling prices for  a
product or service to be within a reasonably narrow  range. The Company  also considers the class of
customer, method of distribution and the geographies into which products  and services  are being sold
when determining VSOE.

78

If VSOE cannot be established, which  may  occur in instances where  a  product or  service has not

been sold separately, stand-alone sales are too infrequent or product  pricing  is not within  a sufficiently
narrow range, the Company attempts to establish  the selling  price based on third-party  evidence
(‘‘TPE’’). TPE is determined based on  competitor  prices for similar deliverables when sold  separately.
The Company, however, is typically not  able to determine TPE for its products or services. Generally,
the Company’s offerings contain a significant level of differentiation such that the comparable pricing
of products with similar functionality  cannot be determined.  Furthermore, the  Company is  unable to
reliably determine the selling prices on a stand-alone basis  of similar products offered by its
competitors.

When the Company cannot determine  VSOE or TPE,  it  uses estimated selling price (‘‘ESP’’)  in its

allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of ESP is to determine the price  at which the
Company would typically transact a stand-alone sale of the  product or  service.  ESP is  determined by
considering a number of factors including the Company’s  pricing  policies, internal costs  and gross profit
objectives, method of distribution, market research and  information,  recent technological  trends,
competitive landscape and geographies. The Company analyzes the selling  prices used in  its  allocation
of arrangement consideration, at a minimum, on  an annual basis. Selling prices will be analyzed more
frequently if a significant change in the Company’s business or other  factors necessitate more frequent
analysis or if the Company experiences significant variances in its  selling  prices.

Revenue from accessories and parts is recognized upon  shipment and service  revenue is  recognized

as the services are performed.

The Company also has contracts for which it applies the percentage-of-completion  model  and
completed contract model of revenue recognition.  Application of these methods  requires the Company
to make reasonable estimates of the  extent of progress toward completion of the  contract and the total
costs the Company will incur under the contract.  Changes in the  estimates of progress  toward
completion of the contract and the total costs could  affect the  timing of revenue  recognition.

Other revenues primarily comprise research  grants and  licensing arrangements.  Grant revenue is

recognized when the requirements in  the grant agreement  are achieved. Licensing revenue  is
recognized ratably  over the term of the  related contract.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes costs incurred in connection  with shipping  and handling of products within

selling, general and administrative expenses in  the accompanying statements of  income  and
comprehensive income. Shipping and handling  costs were $30.5 million, $28.7  million  and $20.8  million
in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011  and 2010, respectively. Amounts  billed to customers in
connection with these costs are included in total revenues.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include  salaries, wages and other

personnel related costs, material costs and depreciation, consulting costs and facility costs.

Software Costs

Purchased software is capitalized at cost and is  amortized over  the estimated useful life,  generally

three years. Software developed for use in  the Company’s products is expensed  as incurred  until
technological feasibility is reasonably  assured and is  classified as research and development expense.
Subsequent to the  achievement of technological feasibility, amounts are capitalizable, however, to date
such amounts have not been material.

79

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as  incurred. Advertising  expenses were $7.5 million, $8.1

million and $9.1 million during the years ended December 31,  2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based  compensation  expense in  the consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income based  on the  fair value of the  share-based award at  the grant date.
The Company’s primary types of share-based compensation are stock options and  restricted stock. The
Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for  the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011
and 2010, as follows (in millions):

Stock options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Compensation expense is amortized  on a  straight-line basis over  the  underlying  vesting terms of

the share-based award. Stock options  to  purchase  the Company’s common  stock  are periodically
awarded to executive officers and other employees  of  the Company  subject  to  a vesting period of  three
to five  years. The fair value of each option award is estimated on  the date  of  grant using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and  risk-
free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes  model and  are  presented in the table  below:

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon  U.S. Treasury securities for a
period that is commensurate with the expected life assumption. Expected life is determined through  the
simplified method as defined in the Securities  and  Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 110. The Company believes that this  is the best estimate of the expected  term of a new option.
Expected volatility is based on a number  of  factors, but the Company currently believes that the
exclusive use of its historical volatility results in the best estimate of the grant-date fair  value of
employee stock options because it reflects  the market’s current  expectations of future  volatility. The
expected dividend yield was not considered  in the option pricing formula  since the Company does  not
pay dividends and has no current plans to do so in the future. The terms  of  certain of the Company’s
indebtedness currently restrict its ability to pay  dividends to its shareholders.  The  weighted  average fair
values of options granted was $7.11, $7.89 and $8.56 per share  for the  years  ended December 31, 2012,
2011 and 2010, respectively.

In addition, the Company utilizes an estimated forfeiture rate when  calculating the  stock-based
compensation expense for the period. The Company  has applied estimated forfeiture rates derived from
an analysis of historical data of 5.7%, 5.2%  and  5.4% for  the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and
2010, respectively, in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share

Net income per common share attributable to Bruker  Corporation shareholders is calculated by

dividing net income attributable to Bruker Corporation by the weighted-average shares outstanding

80

during the period. The diluted net income per share computation includes the effect  of  shares, which
would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of restricted  stock,
reduced by the number of shares, which are  assumed to be purchased by the  Company under the
treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic  and diluted  weighted average shares

outstanding for the years ended December 31,  (in millions, except per share data):

shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings  per  share for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because their effect would have  been anti-dilutive.

Employee Retirement Plans

The Company recognizes the over-funded  or under-funded status of defined benefit pension and

other postretirement defined benefit  plans  as an asset  or liability, respectively,  in its consolidated
balance sheets and recognizes changes in the  funded  status in the year in  which the changes  occur
through other comprehensive income.

Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues,  expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from
net income as these amounts are recorded directly as  an adjustment to shareholders’ equity,  net of tax.
The Company’s other comprehensive income is  composed primarily  of  foreign currency translation
adjustments, changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans  and changes  in the fair
value of derivatives that have been designated as  cash flow hedges.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, where the  functional currency is the

local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars  using  year-end exchange rates, or historical rates, as
appropriate. 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. Gains and losses resulting from  foreign currency
transactions are reported in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income for all periods presented.  The Company may  periodically have
certain intercompany foreign currency transactions  that are  deemed  to  be  of  a long-term investment
nature. Exchange adjustments related to those transactions  are  made  directly  to  a separate  component
of shareholders’ equity.

81

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to its industry including, but not limited to, global

economic conditions, rapid technological  change, spending patterns from its customers,  protection of its
intellectual property, availability of key raw materials and  components,  compliance  with existing and
future regulation by government agencies, dependence  on key personnel and  fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to proceedings,  lawsuits and other  claims related  to  patents, product and

other matters. The Company assesses the likelihood  of  any adverse  judgments or  outcomes to these
matters as well as potential ranges of probable  losses. A determination of the  amount  of reserves
required, if any, for these contingencies  is made after analysis of each individual  issue. The required
reserves may change in the future due to new developments  in each situation or changes  in settlement
strategy in assessing these matters.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements  in conformity with  accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the  reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at  the date of  the
financial statements and reported amounts  of revenues  and expenses during the reporting  period.

Significant estimates and judgments made  by  management in  preparing  these  financial statements

include revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts,  writedowns for excess and obsolete
inventory,estimated fair values used to record impairment  charges related to intangible assets, goodwill,
and other long-lived assets, amortization periods,  expected future cash flows used to evaluate the
recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based  compensation  expense, warranty allowances, restructuring
and other related charges, contingent  liabilities  and  the recoverability of  the Company’s  net deferred
tax assets.

Although the Company regularly reassesses the assumptions underlying  these  estimates, actual
results could differ materially from these  estimates. Changes  in estimates are recorded  in the period in
which they become known. The Company bases its estimates  on  historical experience and various  other
assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under  the circumstances. Actual results may differ from
management’s estimates if these results differ from  historical experience or other assumptions prove
not to be substantially accurate, even if  such assumptions are  reasonable when made.

Reclassifications

Certain line items in prior period financial statements have  been reclassified  to  conform to current

period presentation.

Note 3—Acquisitions

Acquisitions Completed in 2012

In March 2012, the Company completed  the acquisition of SkyScan  N.V. (the ‘‘SkyScan business’’),

a privately owned company based in Belgium that  provides advanced,  high-resolution micro-computed
tomography systems for three-dimensional X-ray imaging in preclinical  imaging  applications  and
materials research markets. The Company  expects synergies from combining the SkyScan business into
its  current product portfolio. The acquisition of the SkyScan business is being accounted  for under the

82

acquisition method. The components  and fair value  allocation of the consideration  transferred in
connection with the SkyScan business  are as follows  (in millions):

The fair value allocation includes contingent consideration in  the amount of $3.7 million, which

represents the estimated fair value of  future  payments to the former shareholders of  the SkyScan
business based on achieving annual revenue targets for the years 2012-2014.  The  maximum potential
future payments related to the contingent consideration is capped  at approximately $5.9 million. The
Company’s allocation of the consideration transferred in connection with  the acquisition of the SkyScan
business will be finalized in the first quarter of 2013 upon final valuation  procedures.  The final fair
value allocation of the purchase price  may  differ from the information presented in  these  consolidated
financial statements. The weighted-average  amortization period for intangible assets acquired in
connection with the SkyScan business  is 7  years  for existing technology  and 10  years  for customer
relationships.

The results of the SkyScan business, including the amount allocated  to  goodwill, have  been
included in the Scientific Instruments segment from  the date  of  acquisition. Pro forma financial
information reflecting the acquisition of the  SkyScan business has  not  been presented because  the
impact on revenues, net income and net income per common  share attributable to Bruker  Corporation
shareholders is not material.

Acquisitions Completed in 2011

In October 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of  Center  for Tribology, Inc. (the
‘‘tribology business’’), a privately owned company based in California, U.S.A. The  acquired business
provides nano-mechanical and tribological  test instrumentation for basic materials research and
industrial manufacturing in a range of fields, including biomedical, petroleum, microelectronics, energy,
and automotive markets. The tribology  business  expands the  Company’s nano  surfaces business into an
adjacent market that the Company could not previously address. The  Company acquired the tribology
business for $12.7 million in cash and  a contingent consideration arrangement that could require the
Company to pay the former shareholder  of  the tribology business an  additional $1.5  million in each of
the years 2012 and 2013. The former shareholder of the tribology business will earn  the contingent
consideration if certain revenue and  gross profit margin targets are achieved in 2012  and 2013  and their
employment continues at the Company. The  targets were  not achieved  for 2012. Under  the purchase
agreement $1.6 million of the purchase price was paid into escrow pending the  resolution  of

83

indemnification obligations and working capital obligations  of  the former shareholder  of  the acquired
business. The Company anticipates the  final  settlement of the amounts in escrow to occur  in 2013.

In April 2011, the Company completed  the acquisition of Michrom Bioresources  Inc. (the  ‘‘HPLC

business’’), a privately owned company based  in California, U.S.A., that provides high performance
liquid chromatography instrumentation, accessories and consumables to the life science  market. High
performance liquid chromatography is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of
compounds and is often used as the front-end to a mass spectrometer  to  identify,  quantify and purify
the individual components of the sample.  The  acquisition  of  the HPLC business expands the
Company’s mass spectrometry businesses. The Company acquired the HPLC  business  for $1.1  million
in cash, 134,362 shares of unrestricted common stock and 156,823 shares  of restricted  common stock.
The restricted common stock will vest over a five year period and is contingent on continuing
employment with the Company. Under  the purchase agreement $0.1  million of  cash and 10% of  the
total shares issued were paid into escrow pending  the resolution of indemnification obligations  and
working capital obligations of the former shareholders of  the acquired  business.  Final settlement of the
amounts in escrow occurred in 2012.

The acquisition of the tribology business  and the  HPLC  business were accounted  for under the

acquisition method. The components  of  the consideration transferred and the allocation of the
consideration transferred for these businesses is as  follows  (in millions):

The fair value of the 134,362 shares of unrestricted common stock issued in  connection with  the
HPLC business was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s  common shares on
the acquisition date, or $21.28 per share.

The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement in the acquisition of  the tribology
business is not included in the total consideration transferred because it is  forfeited  if  the former
shareholder’s employment is terminated. Similarly, the fair  value of the restricted  common stock issued
in the acquisition of the HPLC business  is not included  in the total consideration transferred because it
is forfeited if the former shareholders’  employment is terminated. Because  these arrangements are
forfeited if employment is terminated,  the amounts are  considered to be compensation for
post-combination service and will be accounted  for as compensation expense  over the period the
contingent amounts, if any, are earned.

84

The allocation of the consideration transferred in connection with the  tribology business was
completed in 2012. The allocation of the consideration transferred in connection with the  HPLC
business was completed in 2011.

The acquisition of the tribology business  and the  HPLC  business were made at  prices above the

fair value of the net acquired assets, resulting  in $3.5 million and $1.2  million of goodwill, respectively.
The Company was willing to pay these prices based on expectations of synergies that will result from
combining the businesses with the Company’s existing operations.  These synergies include  expanded
product offerings to adjacent markets that the  Company was previously not able to address in a
comprehensive manner and leveraging  selling, general and administrative  expenses.

In performing the purchase price allocation, the  Company considered,  among  other factors, its

intention for future use of the acquired assets,  analyses of historical financial performance,  and
estimates of future cash flows from the  tribology and  HPLC products and services. The purchase price
was allocated based upon the fair value  of  the identified assets  acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the acquisition date from a market participant’s perspective.

The Company used the multi-period excess-earnings method, a form of the  income  approach, to
value the existing technology and patents related to the  tribology and HPLC  businesses. The principle
behind this method is that the value of the  intangible asset is  equal to the present value of the after-tax
cash flows attributable to the intangible asset only. The  Company also used  the multi-period  excess-
earnings method to value the customer  relationships acquired in the  connection with  the HPLC
business and the IPR&D acquired with the tribology business. The multi-period excess-earnings method
was used to value the customer relationships acquired in the  connection with  the HPLC  business
because the customer relationships were  deemed  to  be  one of the primary cash generating assets
acquired in the transaction. The Company used the  lost-profit/avoided  cost method,  a form of the
income approach,  to value the distributor relationships related to the tribology business. The principle
behind this method is that the economic value of an asset  can be estimated based on  the total costs
that were avoided by having the asset  in place. The  Company used the relief  from royalty method, a
form  of the income approach, to value  the tradenames acquired in  the HPLC  business.  The principle
behind this method is that the value of the  intangible asset is  equal to the present value of the after-tax
royalty savings attributable to owning  the intangible asset. The  weighted-average amortization  periods
for intangible assets acquired in connection with  the tribology and HPLC businesses  are 7.1 years for
existing technology and related patents, 6.8 years for customer and distributor  relationships and 1 year
for tradenames. IPR&D is carried at  its  initial fair  value  and  will be amortized to expense  upon
completion of development. If further development  becomes unfeasible or is  abandoned,  the carrying
value of the IPR&D will be expensed in the period it  occurs.

Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of the tribology  and HPLC businesses were
expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $1.1 million in  expenses that are  included in  other
charges, net in the consolidated statements  of  income and  comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2011. These costs consist primarily of professional fees.

The results of the tribology and HPLC businesses have  been included in the Scientific Instruments
segment from the  date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information reflecting the  acquisition of these
businesses has not been presented because the  impact on revenues, net income and net income per
common share attributable to Bruker Corporation shareholders is  not  material.

Acquisitions Completed in 2010

In October 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of  Veeco  Metrology  Inc., a scanning
probe microscopy and optical industrial metrology instruments  business (the ‘‘nano  surfaces business’’),
from Veeco Instruments Inc. (‘‘Veeco’’)  for cash consideration of $230.4 million. The Company
financed the acquisition with $167.6 million borrowed under  a revolving credit  agreement and the
balance with cash on hand. The acquired  business complements the Company’s existing atomic force
microscopy products and expanded the Company’s offerings  to  industrial and  applied  markets,
specifically in the fields of materials and nanotechnology research and  analysis.  $22.9 million of the
purchase price was paid into escrow  pending the  resolution  of indemnification obligations and working
capital obligations of the seller. In October 2011,  the escrow  was released to Veeco.

In May 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of  three former Varian, Inc. (‘‘Varian’’)
product lines, which Agilent Technologies, Inc. (‘‘Agilent’’) divested  in connection with its  acquisition of
Varian. The Company acquired certain  assets and assumed certain  liabilities in Varian’s inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry instruments business, gas chromatography instruments  business, and
gas chromatography triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry  instruments business (collectively, the
‘‘chemical analysis business’’) for cash consideration  of $37.5 million. The acquired business
complements the Company’s existing mass  spectrometry products and  expands the  Company’s offerings
to industrial and applied markets.

The acquisitions of the nano surfaces business and chemical analysis  business  were accounted for
under the acquisition method. The components of  the consideration transferred and  the allocation of
the consideration transferred for these businesses, including measurement  period adjustments  recorded
in 2011, are as follows (in millions):

The Company finalized the allocation of the consideration  transferred in connection with the nano

surfaces business in the third quarter of  2011. The Company finalized the allocation of the
consideration transferred in connection with the  chemical  analysis business in  the fourth  quarter  of
2010. Measurement period adjustments made  to  the acquisition date fair values of the nano surfaces
business in 2011 consisted of a reclassification  of $2.0 million from  goodwill to intangible assets in
connection with finalizing the fair value of a license agreement that was  acquired  in the transaction.

86

The acquisitions of the nano surfaces business and the chemical analysis business were  made at

prices above the fair value of the net acquired assets,  resulting in $49.0 million  and $0.4 million  of
goodwill, respectively. The Company  was willing to pay these prices based on  expectations of synergies
that will result from combining the businesses  with the  Company’s existing  operations. These synergies
include expanded product offerings to applied analytical markets that the Company was previously not
able to address in a comprehensive manner  and leveraging  selling, general and administrative expenses.

Transaction costs associated with the acquisitions of the nano surfaces and chemical analysis
businesses have been expensed as incurred. The Company incurred  $3.1 million  and $4.6  million in
expenses that are included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income and
comprehensive income for the years  ended December 31, 2011  and 2010,  respectively. The costs
incurred in 2011 consist primarily of transition costs whereby Agilent and Veeco provided
administrative services on behalf of the Company  for defined periods. The transition service
arrangements expired in 2011. In 2010, transaction  costs include  $2.8 million  of  transition  costs
provided by Agilent and Veeco and transaction expenses  of  $1.8 million consisting  of various
professional fees.

The results of the nano surfaces business  and the  chemical  analysis business have  been included in

the Scientific Instruments segment from  the date  of acquisition.

The following table sets forth unaudited pro  forma financial information reflecting the acquisition
of the nano surfaces business as if the  acquisition had occurred on January  1, 2010, for the year ended

Derivative financial instruments are classified within level  2  because  there is not an active market

for each derivative contract, however,  the inputs  used  to  calculate the  value  of  the instruments are
obtained from active markets.

The interest rate swap matured at December  31, 2012.

The fair value of the long-term fixed interest rate debt, which has been classified as  Level 2, was

$255.6 million at December 31, 2012  based on  market  and  observable  sources with similar  maturity
dates.

The Company measures 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 during the year
ended December 31, 2012. During 2012,  as part of the Company’s acquisition of the SkyScan business,
the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability that has been classified  as a Level 3 in the
fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair  value of  future
payments to the former shareholders of the SkyScan  business  based on  achieving annual revenue
targets for the years 2012-2014. The Company  initially  valued the contingent  consideration by using the
discounted cash flow method. Changes  to  the fair value of the  contingent consideration as  of
December 31, 2012 have not been material.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is  management’s estimate  of  credit losses in the  accounts

receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts  is based on a  number of  factors, including  an
evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivable, economic trends and
historical experience. The allowance for  doubtful  accounts is  reviewed on  a quarterly basis and  changes
in estimates are reflected in the period  in which they  become known. The Company writes  off account
balances against the allowance after all means of  collection have been  exhausted  and the  potential for
recovery is considered remote. Provisions  for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income.

was $93.9 million and $116.8 million, respectively.

The Company reduces the carrying value  of  its  demonstration inventories  for differences between

its  cost and estimated net realizable value through  a charge to cost  of  product revenue that is based on
a number of factors including the age of the  unit, the physical  condition of the unit and  an assessment
of technological obsolescence. Amounts recorded in cost  of revenue  related to the  write-down  of
demonstration units to net realizable  value were $31.5 million, $30.0 million  and $24.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

respectively.

The Company recorded an impairment charge for  the year  ended December 31, 2012  in the
amount of $6.0 million, related to property, plant and  equipment within  the CAM division  as a result
of experiencing increased deterioration  in its  financial performance  and the Energy & Supercon
Technologies segment based on the abandonment of a project, to reduce the carrying value of those
assets to their estimated fair values. The change is  recorded within ‘‘Impairment of assets’’  in the
accompanying statements of income and comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, all goodwill was allocated to the  Scientific  Instruments segment.

The goodwill acquired in 2012 primarily relates to the acquisition  of  the SkyScan business. The
goodwill acquired in 2011 relates to the acquisition of the tribology  business  and the  HPLC business.

At December 31, 2012, the Company  performed its annual impairment  evaluation and  concluded
all reporting units’ fair values exceeded their carrying  values, with  the exception of the CAM division,
which is part of the Scientific Instruments segment, as a result of experiencing increased deterioration
in its financial performance. The Company, therefore, performed step two of the  impairment test  to
measure potential impairment and concluded  an impairment charge  of  $1.4 million was required. This
amount represents all the goodwill allocated to the  CAM  division and is recorded within ‘‘Impairment
of assets’’ in the accompanying statements of income and comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2012. There are no indefinite-lived intangible assets associated  with the CAM division
nor any impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets during year  ended December 31, 2012.

No impairment losses were recorded on goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2011 and

2010.

The Company determined the increased deterioration  in financial performance of the  CAM
division discussed above was an indicator  requiring  the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible assets
within that reporting unit for recoverability. The Company  performed a valuation at December 31, 2012
and determined that the definite-lived intangible  assets within the CAM division were impaired. The
Company recorded an impairment charge in  the amount of $16.4 million for  the year  ended
December 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated  fair values. This
impairment charge is included within ‘‘Impairment  of assets’’ in the accompanying statement of income
and comprehensive income. No impairment  losses were  recorded related to definite-lived intangible
assets during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,  the  Company recorded amortization
expense of approximately $22.0 million, $18.1 million and $5.8 million,  respectively, in  the consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income.

In February 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a

syndicate of lenders that provided for  a revolving  credit line with a maximum  commitment of
$230.0 million and a term loan facility of $150.0 million. The outstanding  principal under the term loan
was payable in quarterly installments through December 2012. As of  December 31,  2012, there were no
amounts outstanding under the term  loan. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrued  interest,  at
the Company’s option, at either (i) the higher of the prime  rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%,
or (ii) adjusted LIBOR, plus margins ranging from 0.40%  to  1.25% and a facility fee ranging  from
0.10% to 0.20%.

In May 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to and restatement of the  Credit
Agreement, referred to as the Amended  Credit Agreement. The Company  accounted for  the
amendment as a modification under FASB ASC No.  470, Debt (‘‘ASC No. 470’’). The Amended Credit
Agreement increases the maximum commitment on  the Company’s revolving credit line  to
$250.0 million and extends the maturity  date to May 2016.  Borrowings  under the revolving credit  line
of the Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest, at  the Company’s  option, at either (a) the greatest
of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (iii)  adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%  or
(iv) LIBOR, plus margins ranging from 0.80% to 1.65%.  There  is also a facility fee ranging from 0.20%
to 0.35%. The Amended Credit Agreement had no  impact on the  maturity or pricing of the Company’s
term loan that matured on December 31,  2012.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured  by guarantees from certain
material subsidiaries, as defined in the  Amended Credit Agreement, and  Bruker Energy & Supercon
Technologies, Inc. The Amended Credit  Agreement also  requires the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios related to maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage, as defined  in the
Amended Credit Agreement. Specifically, the Company’s leverage ratio  cannot  exceed  3.0 and the
Company’s interest coverage ratio  cannot be less than 3.0. In addition to the financial ratios,  the
Amended Credit Agreement restricts, among other  things,  the  Company’s ability to do the  following:
make certain payments; incur additional  debt;  incur certain liens; make  certain investments, including
derivative agreements; merge, consolidate, sell or transfer  all  or  substantially all of its assets; and enter
into certain transactions with affiliates. Failure  to  comply  with any of these restrictions or covenants
may result in an event of default under the applicable debt  instrument, which could permit acceleration
of the debt under that instrument and require the  Company to prepay that debt  before  its scheduled
due date.

Other revolving loans are with various financial  institutions located primarily in Germany,

Switzerland and France. The Company’s other revolving lines of credit are typically  due  upon demand
with interest payable monthly. Certain of these lines of credit are unsecured  while others are secured
by the accounts receivable and inventory of the related  subsidiary.

In January 2012, the Company entered into a  note purchase agreement (the ‘‘Note Purchase

Agreement’’) with a group of accredited institutional  investors. Pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Company issued and  sold  $240.0 million of senior notes,  referred to as  the Senior
Notes, which consist of the following:

(cid:129) $20 million 3.16% Series 2012A Senior  Notes, Tranche A,  due January  18, 2017;

(cid:129) $15 million 3.74% Series 2012A Senior  Notes, Tranche B, due January  18, 2019;

(cid:129) $105 million 4.31% Series 2012A Senior  Notes, Tranche C, due  January 18,  2022; and

(cid:129) $100 million 4.46% Series 2012A Senior  Notes, Tranche D, due  January 18,  2024.

Under the terms of the Note Purchase  Agreement, the  Company may issue and  sell additional
senior notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $600 million, subject to certain conditions.  Interest
on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually  on January 18 and July 18 of each year, commencing
July 18, 2012. The Senior Notes are  unsecured obligations of the  Company and are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the  Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The  Senior
Notes rank pari passu in right of repayment with the  Company’s other  senior unsecured indebtedness.
The Company may prepay some or all of  the Senior Notes at any time in an  amount  not  less than 10%
of the original aggregate principal amount  of  the Senior Notes to be prepaid, at  a price equal to the
sum of (a) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus  accrued  and unpaid  interest, and (b) the
applicable make-whole amount, upon not less than 30 and no  more than  60 days’ written notice to the
holders of the Senior Notes. In the event of a change  in control of the  Company, as  defined in the
Note Purchase Agreement, the Company  may be required  to  prepay the Notes  at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued  and unpaid interest.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative  covenants, including, without  limitation,
maintenance of corporate existence, compliance  with laws, maintenance of insurance and properties,
payment of taxes, addition of subsidiary guarantors  and furnishing notices and  other  information. The
Note Purchase Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants  that restrict the Company’s ability
to, among other things, incur liens, transfer or sell assets, engage in certain mergers  and consolidations
and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Note Purchase Agreement also includes  customary
representations and warranties and events of default.  In the  case of an event  of default arising from
specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency,  all  outstanding Senior  Notes will become  due  and payable
immediately without further action or notice. In the case  of payment events of defaults,  any holder  of
Senior Notes affected thereby may declare all Senior  Notes held  by it due and  payable immediately. In
the case of any other event of default, a majority of  the holders of the Senior  Notes may  declare all the
Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. Pursuant  to  the Note  Purchase Agreement, so long  as
any Senior Notes are outstanding the  Company will not permit  (i) its leverage ratio,  as determined

94

pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, as of the end of any fiscal quarter  to  exceed  3.50 to 1.00,
(ii) its interest coverage ratio as determined pursuant to the Note  Purchase Agreement  as of the end of
any fiscal quarter for any period of four  consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 2.50 to 1  or
(iii) priority debt at any time to exceed 25% of consolidated net worth, as determined  pursuant  to  the
Note Purchase Agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the  covenants of the Amended

Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement.

Note 11—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Risks

The Company’s exposure to interest rate  risk  relates primarily  to  outstanding variable rate  debt
and adverse movements in the related short-term market rates. The most significant component of the
Company’s interest rate risk relates to amounts outstanding  under the  Amended  Credit Agreement. In
April 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate  swap arrangement to manage its exposure to
interest rate movements and the related effect on  its variable  rate debt. Under this interest  rate swap
arrangement, the Company paid a fixed rate of approximately 3.8% and received a variable rate based
on three month LIBOR. The initial notional amount of this interest rate swap  was  $90.0 million and it
amortized in proportion to the term debt component of the  Amended Credit Agreement through
December 2012. The notional amount of this interest rate swap  matured at  December 31,  2012 along
with the final payment on the related 2008  term loan.  At December 31, 2011, the notional amount of
this  interest rate swap was $49.5 million. The Company concluded that this swap met  the criteria  to
qualify as an effective hedge of the variability of cash flows  of the interest payments and  accounts for
the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.  Accordingly, the Company reflected changes in the fair
value of the effective portion of this interest  rate  swap in  accumulated other  comprehensive income, a
separate component of shareholders’ equity. Amounts  recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income are reclassified to interest and other income (expense), net  in the consolidated statement of
income and comprehensive income when either  the forecasted  transaction occurs or it becomes
probable that the forecasted transaction  will not  occur. As of December 31, 2012,  the Company has no
interest rate swaps outstanding.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Management

The Company generates a substantial portion  of  its  revenues  and expenses  in international
markets, principally Germany and other countries in the  European Union, Switzerland and  Japan,
which subjects its operations to the exposure of exchange  rate fluctuations. The impact of currency
exchange rate movement can be positive or negative  in any  period.  The  Company periodically enters
into foreign currency contracts in order to minimize the volatility that  fluctuations in exchange rates

95

have on its cash flows. Under these arrangements, the Company  typically  agrees  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. 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 consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company
had the following notional amounts outstanding under  foreign currency contracts at December  31, (in
millions):

In addition, the Company periodically  enters into purchase and sales contracts denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency of the parties to the  transaction. The Company  accounts
for these transactions separately valuing the ‘‘embedded derivative’’ component of these contracts. The
contracts, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the  transacting  parties,
amounted to $40.2 million for the delivery of products  and $10.3  million for the purchase of products
at December 31, 2012 and $34.8 million for the delivery of products and $4.9 million for the purchase
of products at December 31, 2011. The changes  in the fair value  of  these embedded derivatives are
recorded in interest and other income  (expense),  net in the consolidated statements of income and
comprehensive income.

Commodity Price Risk Management

The Company has an arrangement with a  customer under which it has a firm  commitment to

deliver  copper based superconductors at a fixed price. In order  to  minimize the volatility that
fluctuations in the price of copper have on the Company’s sales of these commodities, the Company
enters into commodity hedge contracts. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had fixed price
commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.4 million and  $3.9 million, respectively.  The
changes in the fair value of these commodity contracts are  recorded in  interest and other income
(expense), net in the consolidated statements of income and  comprehensive income.

The valuation allowance was determined through an assessment of  both  positive and negative

evidence whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The Company’s
assessment was made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company fully reserved all U.S. net
deferred tax assets, which are predominantly net  operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company has approximately  $27.9 million of U.S. net operating  loss

carryforwards available to reduce future  state taxable  income which expire  at various  times  through
2032 and approximately $51.9 million  of German Trade Tax net operating losses that are  carried
forward indefinitely. The Company also  has U.S. tax credits of approximately $13.0  million  available to
offset future tax liabilities that expire at various dates,  which include research and development tax
credits of $11.6 million expiring at various times through 2032 and foreign tax credits  of $1.4 million
expiring at various times through 2022.  Utilization of  the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and
credits may be subject to annual limitations  due to the  ownership  percentage  change  limitations
provided by the Internal Revenue Code Section  382 and  similar state provisions.  In the  event of a
deemed change in control under Internal Revenue  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.

The Company has permanently reinvested the earnings of its subsidiaries  in the cumulative amount

of approximately $979.8 million as of December 31, 2012, and therefore, has  not  provided for U.S.
income taxes that could result from the distribution  of  such earnings to the U.S. parent. If these
earnings were ultimately distributed to  the U.S.  in the form of dividends or otherwise,  or if  the shares
of the subsidiaries were sold or transferred, the Company  would likely  be subject to additional U.S.
income taxes, net of the impact of any  available foreign tax credits. It is not  practical to estimate  the
amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income taxes on  these undistributed earnings.

The Company has gross unrecognized  tax benefits of approximately $42.1 million as  of

December 31, 2012, of which $23.6 million, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company’s
effective tax rate. A tabular reconciliation of the beginning and ending  amount  of  unrecognized tax
benefits is as follows (in millions):

The Company recognizes penalties and  interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the

provision for income taxes. As of December 31,  2012 and  2011, the Company had  approximately
$3.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively,  of  accrued interest and penalties related  to  uncertain tax
positions included in other current liabilities  in the consolidated balance sheets. Penalties and interest
related to unrecognized tax benefits of $2.0 million and $1.3 million were recorded  in the provision for
income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011,  respectively.

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  tax years 2009 to
2012 are open tax years in these significant jurisdictions. In the fourth quarter of 2012,  the Company
settled tax audits in Switzerland and Germany. The  Company recorded an  additional $4.6  million,
$6.3 million and $2.8 million of tax reserves related  to  these  audits in  2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In addition, the Company has been contacted by the United  States Internal Revenue Service and a  tax
audit has commenced in 2012 for the  tax year 2010.  It is expected that this audit will  be  completed in
the fourth quarter of 2013.

Note 13—Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

Substantially all of the Company’s employees in Switzerland,  France  and Japan,  as well as certain
employees in Germany, are covered by Company-sponsored  defined benefit pension plans.  Retirement
benefits are generally earned based on years of service and compensation during active employment.
Eligibility is generally determined in accordance with local statutory requirements, however, the  level of
benefits and terms of vesting varies among  plans.

The range of assumptions used for defined benefit  pension plans  reflects the different economic
environments within the various countries. The range of assumptions used  to  determine  the projected
benefit obligations for the years ended December 31, are  as  follows:

3.5%
3.4%-4.0% 3.5%-4.3%
1.0%-3.8% 1.0%-3.8% 1.0%-3.0%

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension  plan assets, the Company considers

current asset allocations, as well as historical and  expected  returns on various asset categories of plan
assets. For the principal pension plans, the Company applies the  expected rate of return to a market-
related value of assets, which stabilizes variability  in assets to which the expected return is  applied.

The Managing Directors of the subsidiaries are responsible for  setting the policy that serves as the

framework for allocating plan assets. The policy defines an investment strategy, including  the asset
allocation ranges, which is designed to ensure  that  the benefit obligations of the plans can  be met when
they are due. The investment strategy also is targeted at  optimizing the  return  on investment within the
risk constraints of the plans. The Managing Directors appoint the  plan fiduciaries,  who oversee the
investment allocation process, which includes selecting investment managers, setting long-term strategic
targets and monitoring asset allocations.  The target allocations are 55% bonds,  including cash, 30%
equity investments and 15% real estate and mortgages. Target allocation  ranges are  guidelines, not
limitations, and occasionally plan fiduciaries will approve allocations above or  below a  target range
based on a number of factors, including market conditions.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The estimated future benefit payments are based  on the same assumptions used  to  measure  the

Capital Leases

The Company leases certain buildings under agreements that are classified as  capital leases. The

cost of the buildings under the capital leases  is included in the consolidated balance sheets as property,
plant and equipment and was $9.9 million at  December 31,  2012 and  2011. Accumulated amortization
of the leased buildings at December  31, 2012  and 2011 was $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Amortization expense related to assets  under capital leases is  included in depreciation expense. The
obligations related to capital leases are recorded as a  component  of long-term debt or the current
portion of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on  when the lease  payments
are due.

License Agreements

The Company has entered into cross-licensing  agreements for  various  technologies that allow other

companies to utilize certain of its patents and  related technologies over  various periods  or into
perpetuity. Income from these agreements  for the  years  ended December  31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was
$20.2 million, $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively,  and is classified in  other  revenue in  the
consolidated statements of income and  comprehensive income.  The  increase in the  year ended
December 31, 2012 is driven by license revenue  from the sale of technology by Bruker Energy &
Supercon Technologies. The unearned portions  of  proceeds from the cross-licensing agreements are
classified as short-term or long-term deferred revenue depending  on when the revenue will  be  earned.

The Company has also entered into license agreements  allowing it  to  utilize certain patents. If

these patents are used in connection with a commercial product sale,  the Company pays royalties
ranging from 0.15% to 5.0% on the related product revenues. Licensing fees for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, were  $4.2 million,  $2.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and
are recorded in cost of product revenue in the consolidated statements  of  income  and comprehensive
income.

Grants

The Company has received certain grants from  government authorities  in the United States and
Germany. The grants were made in connection with the Company’s  development of specific magnetic
resonance core technology equipment, spectrometers and  related components  and a  standalone monitor
for chemical agents. The agreements under which these grants were awarded have expiration dates
ranging between 2013 and 2015. Amounts received  under these grants during  the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, totaled  $4.7 million, $4.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and
are classified as other revenue in the consolidated statements of income  and comprehensive income.
Total expenditures related to these grants  during the years ended December 31,  2012, 2011 and 2010
were $5.1 million, $5.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and  are  classified as  research  and
development expenses in the consolidated statements of income  and comprehensive income.

Legal

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a  nature considered  normal to its businesses  may be pending

from time to time against the Company. The Company  believes the outcome  of  these  proceedings,
individually and in the aggregate, if any, will  not  have a material  impact on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations. As of December 31,  2012 and 2011, no accruals have been  recorded
for such potential contingencies.

On September 21, 2012, Vertical Analytics LLC filed an action  in the U.S. District Court for the

District of Delaware against Bruker AXS Inc. (‘‘Bruker AXS’’).  The  complaint,  which claims
unspecified damages and injunctive relief, alleges that  Bruker AXS  infringes, induces  infringement, or
contributes to the infringement of  certain U.S.  patents related to X-ray diffraction analysis  held by
Vertical Analytics LLC. Bruker AXS filed its  response to the complaint in November 2012 and has
asserted various defenses. Discovery  commenced in January 2013. Bruker AXS believes  the claims to be
without merit and intends to vigorously  defend  this action.  At  this  time, the Company cannot
reasonably assess the timing or outcome of this matter. Accordingly, no provision with  respect to this
matter has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated  financial  statements.

On November 4, 2011, Hyphenated Systems, LLC filed an action  in California Superior  Court,

Santa Clara County, against the Company and Veeco Metrology, Inc. in connection with certain
agreements entered into prior and subsequent to the Company’s  acquisition  of  all  of the shares of
Veeco Metrology, Inc. in October 2010. Upon the  closing  of the acquisition, Veeco Metrology, Inc. was
renamed Bruker Nano, Inc. (‘‘Bruker Nano’’). The  suit, which  also names one  current and one former
employee of Bruker Nano, claims unspecified damages for  breach of contract,  fraud and unfair
competition in connection with the performance of the agreements. The Company believes the claims
to be without merit and intends to vigorously  defend  this action.  At this time, the Company  cannot
reasonably assess the timing or outcome of this matter. Accordingly, no provision with  respect to this
matter has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated  financial  statements.

Internal Investigation and Compliance Matters

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of  Directors, assisted by

independent outside counsel and an independent forensic consulting  firm, conducted  an internal
investigation in response to anonymous communications received  by the Company alleging improper
conduct in connection with the China operations of the  Company’s Bruker Optics subsidiary. The Audit
Committee’s investigation, which began  in 2011 and was completed  in the  first  quarter  of  2012,
included a review of compliance by Bruker Optics and its employees in China and  Hong  Kong with the
requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) and other  applicable laws and regulations.

The investigation found evidence indicating  that payments were made that improperly benefited
employees or agents of government-owned enterprises in China  and Hong  Kong. The investigation also
found evidence that certain employees of Bruker  Optics in  China and Hong Kong failed  to  comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct. As a result, the Company took personnel actions,
including the termination of certain individuals.  The  Company also terminated its business relationships
with certain third party agents, implemented  an enhanced FCPA  compliance program,  and strengthened
the financial controls and oversight at its subsidiaries operating in China and Hong Kong.  During 2011,
the Company also initiated a review of  the China operations of its other subsidiaries, with  the
assistance of an independent audit firm. On the basis of the review conducted to date, the Company
has identified additional employees in Bruker subsidiaries operating  in China who failed to comply with
the Company’s policies and standards of  conduct, and has  taken additional personnel actions at certain
of its subsidiaries as a result. The review is ongoing and no conclusions can be drawn at this time  as to
its  final outcome.

106

The Company voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and

the United States Department of Justice  in August 2011 to advise  both agencies  of  the internal
investigation by the Audit Committee regarding the China operations  of the Company’s Bruker Optics
subsidiary. In October 2011, the Company also reported that existence of the internal investigation to
the Hong Kong Joint Financial Intelligence  Unit and Independent Commission Against  Corruption
(‘‘ICAC’’). The Company has cooperated with the  United States federal agencies and  Hong  Kong
government authorities with respect to  their  inquiries  and  has provided documents and/or  made
witnesses available in response to requests from the  governmental authorities reviewing  this matter.
The Company intends to continue to  cooperate with these agencies in connection  with their inquiries.
At this time the Company cannot reasonably  assess  the timing or outcome of these matters  or their
effect, if any, on the Company’s business.

The FCPA and related statutes and regulations provide for potential  monetary penalties as well as

criminal and civil sanctions in connection with FCPA violations. It is possible that monetary penalties
and other sanctions could be assessed by the U.S. Federal government  in connection with these
matters. Additionally, to the extent any  payments are determined to be illegal by local government
authorities, civil or criminal penalties may be assessed by such  authorities and  the Company’s  ability  to
conduct business in that jurisdiction may be negatively impacted. At this time, the Company  cannot
predict the extent to which the Securities and Exchange  Commission (‘‘SEC’’), the Department of
Justice (‘‘DOJ’’), the ICAC or any other governmental authorities will pursue administrative, civil
injunctive or criminal proceedings, the imposition  of fines or  penalties or  other remedies or sanctions.
Given the current status of the inquiries from these  agencies, the Company cannot reasonably  estimate
the possible loss or range of possible loss  that  may result from any proceedings that may be
commenced by the SEC, the DOJ, the ICAC or  any other governmental authorities. Accordingly, no
provision with respect to such matters  has been recorded  in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. Any adverse findings or other negative outcomes from any such proceedings  could have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in  future periods.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the  Company had bank guarantees of $143.2  million  and $115.4
million, respectively, related primarily  to  customer advances. These arrangements guarantee  the refund
of advance payments received from customers in the event  that the merchandise is not delivered or
warranty obligations are not fulfilled in  compliance with the terms of the contract.  These guarantees
affect the availability of the Company’s lines of credit.

Indemnifications

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements  in the  Company’s ordinary

course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company  indemnifies, holds harmless, and
agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties  for  losses  suffered or  incurred by the indemnified party,
generally the Company’s business partners or  customers,  in connection with any patent, or any
copyright or other intellectual property infringement  claim  by any third party with respect to its
products. The term of these indemnification agreements  is generally  perpetual anytime after the
execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future  payments the Company could be
required to make under these agreements is  unlimited. The Company believes the estimated  fair value
of these agreements is minimal.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements  with its directors and officers that may
require the Company to: indemnify its directors  and officers against liabilities  that  may arise by reason
of their status or service as directors or  officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of
a culpable nature; advance their expenses incurred as  a result of any proceeding against  them as  to

107

which they could be indemnified; and obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable
terms, which the Company currently has in  place.

Environmental Remediation

A former owner of the land and building in Santa  Barbara,  California, which serves as the
headquarters for the Company’s nano surfaces business, has disclosed  that  there are hazardous
substances present in the ground under the  building. Management believes that the  comprehensive
indemnification clause included in the  purchase  agreement related to the acquisition of  the nano
surfaces business provides adequate protection against  any environmental issues that may arise.

Note 15—Shareholders’ Equity

Dividends

The terms of some of the Company’s  indebtedness currently restrict the Company’s ability to pay

dividends to its shareholders.

Stock Plans

Bruker Corporation Stock Plan

In February 2010, the Bruker  BioSciences Corporation Amended and Restated  2000 Stock Option

Plan, or the 2000 Plan, expired at the end of its scheduled ten-year term. On March 9, 2010, the

Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2010  Plan, and on May 14, 2010, the 2010  Plan  was  approved by
the Company’s stockholders. The 2010 Plan provides  for the issuance of up to 8,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The Plan allows a  committee of the Board  of Directors  (the ‘‘Committee’’)
to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock  options and restricted stock awards. The
Committee has the authority to determine  which employees will receive the awards, the amount of the
awards and other terms and conditions  of the award. Awards granted by  the Committee  typically vest
over a period of three to five years.

Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies Stock Plan

In October 2009, the Board of Directors  of BEST adopted the Bruker  Energy & Supercon
Technologies, Inc. 2009 Stock Option Plan, or the BEST Plan. The BEST Plan provides for the
issuance of up to 1,600,000 shares  of BEST common stock in connection  with awards under the BEST
Plan. The BEST Plan allows a committee of the  BEST  Board of Directors  to  grant incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options and restricted  stock awards.  The  Compensation Committee  of the
BEST Board of Directors has the authority to determine which employees  will receive the awards, the
amount of the awards and other terms and conditions of the awards. As of December 31, 2012  and
2011, 800,000 incentive stock options and non-qualified  stock options, respectively, had  been  awarded
to key employees and directors of the  Company with  vesting periods of three to five years. As of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, no restricted stock has been awarded under the BEST Plan.

compensation expense related to awards granted under  the BEST Plan. Unrecognized pre-tax stock-
based compensation expense of $0.7 million  related to stock options awarded under  the BEST Plan is
expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining service  period of 1.6  years  for awards

Note 17—Deferred Offering Costs

In September 2010, the Company announced  plans to sell a minority ownership position in its
BEST subsidiary through an initial public  offering  of  the capital  stock of  BEST. As  a result of economic
and market factors, the timing of the BEST initial public offering was uncertain and the Company
expensed deferred offering costs totaling $3.4 million in  2011. In March 2012, the Company  determined
not to proceed with the initial public  offering  of  the capital  stock of  BEST.

Note 20—Business Segment Information

The Company has determined that it has four  operating segments based on  the information
reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker,  representing each of its four  groups or divisions:  the
Bruker BioSpin group, the Bruker CALID group, the Bruker  MAT  group, and Bruker Energy &
Supercon Technologies division. The Bruker BioSpin  group is in the business of designing,
manufacturing and distributing enabling life science  tools  based on magnetic resonance technology. The
Bruker CALID group combines the Bruker Daltonics,  Bruker Chemical and  Applied Markets, Bruker
Detection and Bruker Optics divisions and is  in the business of  designing, manufacturing,  and
distributing mass spectrometry and chromatography instruments  and solutions  for life  sciences,
including proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical research applications. The Company’s mass
spectrometry and chromatography instruments  also provide solutions  for applied markets that include
food safety, environmental analysis and petrochemical analysis. Bruker CALID also designs,
manufactures, and distributes various analytical instruments for CBRNE  detection and  research, as well
as analytical, research and process analysis instruments and solutions based on  infrared  and Raman
molecular spectroscopy technologies. The Bruker MAT group  comprises  the Bruker AXS, Bruker Nano
Surfaces, Bruker Nano Analytics and  Bruker Elemental divisions and  is in the business of
manufacturing and distributing advanced X-ray, spark-optical  emission spectroscopy, atomic  force
microscopy and stylus and optical metrology  instrumentation used in non-destructive molecular,

Note 22—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No.  2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this standard, entities will be required to disclose
additional information with respect to changes in accumulated other comprehensive  income  (AOCI)
balances by component and significant items reclassified out of AOCI.  Expanded disclosures  for
presentation of changes in AOCI involve disaggregating the total change of  each  component of other
comprehensive income as well as presenting separately for each such component the  portion of the
change in AOCI related to (1) amounts  reclassified into income and  (2) current-period other
comprehensive income. Additionally, for  amounts reclassified into income,  disclosure in one  location
would be required, based upon each  specific AOCI component, of the amounts impacting individual
income statement line items. Disclosure of the income statement  line item impacts will be required only
for components of AOCI reclassified into income in  their entirety. The  disclosures required with
respect to income statement line item impacts would be made in either  the  notes to the  consolidated
financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements. The ASU is  effective for
fiscal years beginning after December  15, 2012. The adoption of this amendment in  2013 will not have
an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results  of operations or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update is intended to simplify the guidance
for impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets as  it provides entities an option to perform a
qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing  is necessary. The amended
provisions are effective for fiscal years  beginning after September 15, 2012. However  early adoption is
permitted. The adoption of this amendment  in 2013 will not have an  impact  on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results  of  operations or cash flows.

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures 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)
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 December 31,  2012.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial  Officer  concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were  effective as of December 31, 2012 to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed  by  us  in the reports that  we  file  or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial  Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal  control over
financial reporting. 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  internal control over financial reporting as  of December  31, 2012, based on  the criteria  established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of  the
Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this  evaluation, our management  has concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was  effective as of  December 31,  2012.

The attestation report issued by Ernst &  Young  LLP, our  independent registered  public accounting

firm, on our internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

Changes in Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2012 that  materially affected, or are reasonably  likely to materially affect,
our  internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders  of
Bruker Corporation

We have audited Bruker Corporation’s internal control over financial  reporting as  of  December 31,
2012, based on criteria established in  Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Bruker Corporation’s
management is responsible for maintaining  effective internal  control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal  control over financial reporting included  in the
accompanying Management’s Report on  Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company’s  internal  control  over financial reporting  based on  our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective  internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects. Our audit included  obtaining an understanding  of internal control  over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a  material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based  on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in  the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide  reasonable

assurance regarding the reliability of  financial  reporting and the preparation  of  financial  statements for
external  purposes in accordance with  generally accepted accounting  principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)  pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable  detail, accurately and fairly reflect the  transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions  are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in  accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made  only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and  (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention  or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that  could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over  financial  reporting may not prevent or

detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation  of  effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions, or  that  the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Bruker Corporation maintained, in  all  material  respects, effective internal control

over financial reporting as of December  31, 2012,  based on  the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting

Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Bruker  Corporation as  of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows  for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2012 of Bruker Corporation and our report dated  February 28, 2013  expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
