Bruker Corporation

Dear Fellow Bruker Shareholders,

In the past 20 months, Bruker has embarked on a 
dual strategy of continued innovation, combined with 
a bold, multi-year transformation process designed to 
take the Company from ‘good to great’.  During 2013, 
Bruker took important steps to strengthen its founda-
tion, and better position the Company to improve its 
operational performance. 

Innovation & Transformation
Bruker has long been known for technological innova-
tion, high-performance products, market leadership, 
and a strong commitment to our customers’ success.  
These strengths have helped establish Bruker as 
a highly respected brand in scientific instrumenta-
tion for life science research, pharma, industrial and 
applied markets, and more recently for the clinical 
research market.  This commitment to innovation has 
led to exceptional organic revenue growth over many 
years and an attractive return on invested capital.  

In 2013, we made a concerted effort to improve other 
aspects of Bruker’s performance in order to achieve 
better balance in our financial results.  We implement-
ed significant organizational changes and initiatives 
that will better position the Company to expand its 
margins, and to drive higher levels of profitability 
and cash flow in the future.  We believe that further 
improvements to our profitability and cash flows are 
not only good for shareholder value, but they will 
also ensure that we have the ability to invest in many 
of Bruker’s attractive growth opportunities.  These 
investments include expanding into adjacent markets 
where we can leverage our technology platforms.

Over the next several years, Bruker intends to 
transform its operational performance, while stay-
ing true to its mission as a best-in-class innovator of 
high-performance scientific instruments that brings 
significant value to our global customer base.  We are 
taking decisive steps to improve our operational and 
financial performance.  While our 2013 financial per-
formance did not yet reflect the impact from all of the 
changes we are making, we have taken major steps 
to strengthen Bruker’s organization and leadership 
team, to improve our processes and systems, and to 
implement restructuring, outsourcing, lean manufac-
turing, and other efficiency programs.

Organization & Leadership
We have strengthened our organization and lead-
ership team by organizing ten Bruker Scientific 
(BSI) divisions into three operating Groups:  Bruker 
BioSpin, Bruker MAT and Bruker CALID, each Group 
with over $500 million in annual revenue.  This new 

organizational structure enables us to more efficiently 
manage Bruker, and is expected to drive higher levels 
of operational efficiency over time.  We also made 
important changes to our executive team to help lead 
Bruker in this transformation.  All three Group Presi-
dents and our Chief Financial Officer have proven 
track records in our industry, and all were appointed 
to their current positions since mid-2012, with the last 
member of our senior leadership team joining us in 
August 2013.

During 2013, we made changes to our incentive 
compensation system, which will take effect in 2014.  
These modifications will help us to drive change at 
Bruker, while helping to create value for employ-
ees and shareholders.  We will now have a higher 
percentage of our variable compensation depend on 
annual improvements in Bruker’s gross margins, op-
erating margins, and working capital ratios.  We have 
also implemented a broader equity incentive plan 
to enhance management alignment with sharehold-
ers.  Driving innovation and above industry-average 
revenue growth remains a major objective of our 
Company.  However, we are putting incentives and 
initiatives in place to make this growth more profit-
able and to sustain Bruker’s long-term competitive 
position.

Processes & Systems
Due to the global scale of Bruker, we have begun 
to make changes to our business processes and 
systems in order to establish more consistent global 
operating standards throughout the Company.  One 
of the most significant changes we made during 2013 
was to transition Bruker to a global business model, 
from a previous model that was more based on coun-
tries and legal entities.  This change now provides our 
Group and Division Presidents global decision rights 
over their businesses and creates greater account-
ability for resource allocation and operational results.  

We are also establishing new, more integrated strat-
egy, budgeting and management processes, as well 
as financial and IT systems to provide greater visibility 
and control over the business.  These investments 
include rolling out a new financial consolidation sys-
tem in 2014 to help us more efficiently consolidate 
the financial results of the Company.  Over time, we 
will also take steps to upgrade and harmonize our en-
terprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which will 
allow us to put better information in the hands of our 
managers and make more informed decisions about 
our resource allocation.  Moreover, we have acceler-
ated the adoption of customer relationship manage-
ment (CRM) systems in our three Groups.

2014 Outlook
Turning to our outlook for 2014, we expect reported 
revenue growth of 3% to 4%, as academic, clini-
cal, government, and life-science research markets 
remain healthy.  We are cautious about industrial 
demand until we see a more meaningful rebound, 
but we expect that all three of our Bruker Scientific 
Instruments segment Groups will grow in 2014.

On the bottom-line, we expect to drive healthy 
expansion of our non-GAAP operating margins and 
10% to 14% non-GAAP earnings per share growth in 
2014.  The primary drivers of this improvement will 
come from the many initiatives that we implemented 
in 2013, and from exciting new products that we 
launched in 2012 and 2013.  

I will conclude my comments by stating that I am 
excited about the future of Bruker. We will continue 
to focus on driving innovation and shaping our mar-
kets, while transforming Bruker into a well-balanced, 
‘great’ Company over the next few years.  I believe 
we can enable the discoveries and innovations of our 
customers, and drive their productivity and success, 
while also creating shareholder value through profit-
able growth, higher earnings and cash flow.  

I want to thank our valued customers, our Bruker col-
leagues, our shareholders, and our collaboration and 
business partners for their commitment and support, 
and I am looking forward to reporting on our further 
progress.  

Sincerely,

Frank H. Laukien, Ph.D. 
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 
April 16, 2014

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.

Restructuring & Productivity
Over the past year, we completed selected dives-
titures and launched outsourcing, lean manufactur-
ing and restructuring initiatives in nearly all of our 
businesses.  These actions are part of our concerted 
efforts to lower our costs and to set the stage for 
margin expansion, working capital ratio reductions, 
and free cash flow improvements.  Many of these 
programs are aimed at lowering costs in our produc-
tion facilities and supply chain.  For example, during 
2013 we announced programs to close production fa-
cilities, outsource manufacturing activities, and divest 
non-core product lines.  We expect these and other 
programs to drive approximately $15 to $20 million of 
annualized savings during 2014 and beyond.

In addition to these programs, we carefully managed 
our operating expenditures throughout 2013 and 
reduced our operating spending, despite the under-
lying growth in our business.  We expect to launch 
additional restructuring and productivity initiatives in 
2014 and 2015, which will be key components of our 
multi-year effort to generate higher margins and cash 
flows.

Financial Performance
Bruker reported revenues of $1.84 billion in 2013, 
which represented organic revenue growth of 3.2% 
compared to 2012.  Despite low single-digit growth in 
the life-science tools market, our BioSpin Group grew 
in the high-single digits and our CALID Group in the 
mid-single digits, while our BMAT Group declined in 
the high-single digits in 2013 due to weaker industrial 
markets.  

Our profitability fell short of our goals, as non-GAAP 
earnings per share (EPS) declined from $0.83 in 2012 
to $0.77 in 2013.  In addition to reduced profitability 
in our BMAT Group as a result of weak industrial de-
mand, a significant portion of our profitability decline 
came from changes in foreign exchange rates, which 
reduced our non-GAAP operating margins by more 
than 100 basis points in 2013 year-over-year.  We also 
faced a decline in one-time license revenues, which 
fell from $16 million in 2012 to $6 million in 2013.      

Our free cash flow increased $34 million year-over-
year to $95 million in 2013, and our return on invested 
capital (non-GAAP ROIC) of 20.0% remained strong.  
We achieved reductions in our operating expenses, 
yet Bruker continued to invest 10.4% of revenue 
into research & development in 2013.  This invest-
ment reflects our continued commitment to market 
leadership, organic revenue growth and high ROIC.  
Our balance sheet remains solid and we ended the 
year 2013 with net cash of $84 million, while goodwill 
represented only 6.4% of our total assets.

BSI Segment

The Bruker BioSpin Group designs,  manufactures and distributes enabling life  science tools based

on magnetic resonance technology. Magnetic resonance is a natural phenomenon occurring  when a
molecule placed in a magnetic field gives off a signature radio frequency.  The  signature radio frequency
is characteristic of the particular molecule  and  provides a multitude of precise chemical and  structural
information. Depending on the intended application, we market and  sell to our customers a NMR,  or
an electron paramagnetic resonance system (EPR).  Bruker BioSpin also offers  high-field OEM  MRI
magnets to medical device manufacturers. Bruker BioSpin’s preclinical imaging division manufactures
and sells single and multiple modality systems using  MRI,  PET, SPECT, CT, MPI and optical imaging
technologies to preclinical markets. Bruker BioSpin’s  products,  which have particular application in
structural proteomics, drug discovery,  research and food and  materials science fields, provide customers
with the ability to  determine the structure,  dynamics, and function of specific  molecules,  such as
proteins, and to characterize and determine the composition of  mixtures.  The  vast majority of Bruker
BioSpin’s revenues are generated by academic and  government  customers. Other customers include
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies,  nonprofit  laboratories,  as well as  chemical,  food and
beverage, and polymer companies.

The Bruker CALID Group primarily designs,  manufactures and  distributes  life-science mass
spectrometry instruments that can be  integrated  and  used  along with  other  sample preparation or
chromatography instruments. These products are used in both research and clinical  diagnostic  settings.
Mass spectrometers are sophisticated  devices that  measure the mass or weight of a  molecule and can
provide accurate information on the identity,  quantity, and  primary  structure of molecules. Mass
spectrometry based solutions often combine advanced mass spectrometry instrumentation, automated

Bruker BioSpin Products

Bruker BioSpin magnetic resonance 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. Bruker BioSpin preclinical  imaging  systems  use single or  multiple
modalities from our technology portfolio comprising MRI, PET, SPECT,  CT, MPI and  optical imaging.
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 2013, we  launched a  number of new  products and technologies in the
Bruker BioSpin Group, including Ascend  Aeon  products, superconducting,  nitrogen-free  magnet
systems some of which do not require  liquid helium refills, and  the world’s first MPI system for
preclinical imaging as a complementary technique for  disease studies, translational  research  and drug
discovery. We also launched a new release  of WineScreener, a high-resolution Fourier transform
nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) based  screening system and made a number of extensions to
our  Assure NMR solutions and Avance  console  architecture.

Bruker BioSpin Group’s instruments  are based  on the following technology platforms:

(cid:127) NMR—Nuclear magnetic resonance;

(cid:127) MRI—Magnetic resonance imaging;

(cid:127) EPR—Electron paramagnetic resonance;

(cid:127) MPI—Magnetic Particle Imaging;

(cid:127) PET—Positron Emission Tomography;

(cid:127) SPECT—Single Photon Emission  Tomography;

(cid:127) CT—Computed Tomography; and

(cid:127) OI—Optical Imaging (fluorescence and bioluminescence).

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.  MRI  offers  high resolution
morphologic information, as well as functional, metabolic or  molecular information. Customers use our
MRI systems in pharmaceutical research, including metabolomics, to study a  number of  diseases,
including diabetes, neurology, 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

7

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.

MPI is a process of creating an image  from magnetic particles  administered  to  the body  of  an

animal. The magnetic particles are manipulated in a combination of oscillating  magnetic  fields
exhibiting a field free zone. The response  of the particles allows a real  time 3D data set acquisition of
the whole body of an animal, showing  the contrast  agent distributing in and flowing through the body.
This imaging modality is used to detect cardiovascular disorders.

PET is a process of creating an image from positrons after administration of  a positron emitting

radionuclide to the body of an animal.  Annihilation of  the positron produces two photons  which show
an angle of 180(cid:4) between them and by this distinguishes these photons from  photons originating from
other sources. The PET tracer enriches in certain  regions  of  interest  within the body and gains
molecular information from the animal  in  vivo. This has  widespread applications, most importantly  for
oncology, inflammation, neurology and cardiovascular  disorders, as well as metabolic  disease,  drug
discovery  and bone disease.

SPECT uses a contrast agent containing radionuclides which directly emit single  photons.  The

contrast agent enriches in certain parts of the body  of  an animal  and generates images of the
radionuclide distribution in the body. SPECT has  widespread  application in animal investigations in
vivo, most importantly in oncology, neurology  and cardiovascular  disorders.

CT is a technology based on X-rays which are used to generate  a complete 3D  data  set. The most
important applications are tissue sample analysis  or non-invasive in vivo  animal imaging. CT offers  the
highest spatial resolution of all preclinical imaging modalities  and is especially useful to generate
morphological information of the object  or animal  under investigation. CT is being used  in all fields of
preclinical investigations such as bone-orthopedics, cardiovascular, pulmonary, oncology, metabolism
and others.

OI is a process of creating an image from light emitted from within the body of an animal  in  vivo.

This is achieved by administration of  a  fluorescent imaging agent and corresponding activation of
fluorescence via an external light source, or  fluorescence imaging. Alternatively, it  is possible to
manipulate the animal under investigation such  that it contains  molecules which emit light  without
external  irradiation, or bioluminescence  imaging. Optical imaging is a very sensitive imaging  technology
used for generating molecular information  in an investigation. The main fields  of application are
oncology, neurology, inflammation, stem  cell  research  and bone and infectious diseases.

Bruker CALID Group Products

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  2013, we launched a number  of new mass spectrometry
and chromatography products, including  three  quadrupole time-of-flight systems  (compact, impact HD
and maXis HD) ideally suited for small molecule characterization,  screening applications, bottom-up

8

proteomics, and top-down proteomic  analysis and the  characterization of biopharmaceuticals,  an ultra-
sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass  spectrometer for trace elemental  detection and  a new
high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole  mass spectrometer. We  also expanded the
Fourier  transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) product line, with the introduction of the solariX  XR.

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

(cid:127) MALDI-TOF—Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry,

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

(cid:127) 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:127) FTMS—Fourier transform mass spectrometry, including hybrid systems with a  quadrupole front

end (Q-q-FTMS);

(cid:127) ITMS—Ion trap mass spectrometry;

(cid:127) GC—Gas chromatography;

(cid:127) GC-MS—Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry  systems utilizing single or triple-quadrupole

time-of-flight mass spectrometry;

(cid:127) LC-MS—Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems utilizing triple-quadrupole  time-of

flight mass spectrometry;

(cid:127) ICP-MS—Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry;

(cid:127) FT-IR—Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy;

(cid:127) NIR—Near-infrared spectroscopy; and

(cid:127) 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. We have been selling  the MALDI Biotyper in Europe
for the past five years. In 2013, we were granted clearance  by the U.S. Food and  Drug  Administration
(FDA) to market our MALDI Biotyper for  the identification of Gram negative bacterial colonies
cultured from human specimens.

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 metabolomics, 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  metabolomics; 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.

10

FT-IR 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 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 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 Products

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 2013,
we introduced an innovative high-resolution X-ray  micro-CT system,  which can  non-destructively
visualize up to 200 Megapixel (14,450x14,450 pixels) virtual slices  through objects, and the ECO series
for X-ray fluorescence (XRD), X-ray  diffraction (XRF) and chemical X-ray crystallography (SC-XRD),
which  allows for a reduced ecological  footprint  while delivering high  performance. We also introduced
additional enhancements in our atomic  force microscopy, optical metrology and  electron microscope
platforms. In addition, during 2013 we  acquired a  fluorescence optical microscopy business, adding to
the technologies available in our atomic  force microscopy business.

Bruker MAT systems are based on the  following  technology platforms:

(cid:127) XRD—Polycrystalline X-ray diffraction, often referred to as X-ray diffraction;

(cid:127) XRF—X-ray fluorescence, also called X-ray  spectrometry, including handheld  XRF systems;

(cid:127) SC-XRD—Single crystal X-ray diffraction, often referred to  as X-ray  crystallography;
(cid:127) (cid:1)CT—X-ray micro computed tomography;

(cid:127) EDS—Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy on electron microscopes;

(cid:127) EBSD—Electron backscatter diffraction on electron microscopes;

(cid:127) S-OES—Spark optical emission spectroscopy;

11

(cid:127) CS/ONH—Combustion analysis for carbon, sulfur, oxygen,  nitrogen, and hydrogen in solids;

(cid:127) AFM—Atomic force microscopy;

(cid:127) FM—Fluorescence optical microscopy;

(cid:127) SOM—Stylus and optical metrology; and

(cid:127) 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
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:1)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:1)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:1)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.

12

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.

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.

FM uses fluorescence microscopy to determine the structure and composition of life  science

samples. Our products include two-photon  microscopes,  multipoint scanning confocal microscopes,  laser
illumination sources, photoactivation,  photostimulation,  photoablation accessories and synchronization
and analysis software. Two-photon microscopes allow  imaging deep  into  tissues and  cells  and are used
widely in neuroscience. Multipoint scanning confocal systems  allow live cell imaging  with rapid
acquisition of images for structural and  composition  analysis.

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.

We  have well-equipped applications and demonstration facilities and qualified application
personnel who assist customers and provide  product demonstrations in  specific application areas.  We
maintain our primary demonstration  facilities  at our production facilities as  well as in  other key market
locations.

Customers

We  have a broad and diversified global life sciences customer base, which  is composed  primarily of

end-users and includes pharmaceutical,  biotechnology, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, food/feed/
agricultural and fine chemical companies, as  well as  commercial laboratories, university  laboratories,
medical schools and other not-for-profit research institutions  and government laboratories. We also sell
to a number of semiconductor, polymer, automotive,  cement, steel, aluminum and combinatorial
materials design companies. The majority of our low  temperature superconducting materials are sold to
magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging manufacturers and  our
superconducting devices are sold primarily to universities, as well as national and  international  research
facilities. We do not depend on any single customer and  no single customer accounted for more than
10% of revenue in any of the last three  fiscal years.

Competition

Our existing products and solutions and any  products and solutions that we develop in the future

may compete in multiple, highly competitive markets. In addition, there  has been a  trend towards
consolidation in our industry and many  of  our competitors have substantially greater financial,
technical, and marketing resources than  we do. Our  competitors may succeed in  developing  and
offering products that could render our products or those of our strategic  partners  obsolete or
noncompetitive. In addition, many of these competitors have significantly more experience in  the life

14

sciences, chemical and materials markets.  Our  ability to compete  successfully  will  depend on our ability
to develop proprietary products that  reach our target markets in  a  timely manner and  are
technologically superior to and/or less expensive, or  more  cost effective, than products marketed by our
competitors. Current competitors or  other companies may possess or develop technologies  and products
that are more effective than ours. Our  technologies  and  products may be rendered obsolete or
uneconomical by technological advances or by entirely different approaches developed by one or  more
of our competitors.

We  also compete with companies that provide analytical or  automation tools  based on  other
technologies. These technologies may prove  to  be  more successful in meeting demands in  the markets
that our products and solutions serve.  In  addition,  other  companies may choose to enter  our fields in
the future. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are  technology-based
applications expertise, product specifications, functionality, reliability, marketing  expertise, distribution
capability, proprietary patent portfolios, cost and cost effectiveness.

integration, and final testing. We typically  manufacture critical components in-house to ensure  key
competence. We have begun to outsource the  manufacturing  of  various  non-critical components  such as
connectics, mechanics, circuit boards  and certain electronics to third  party contract  manufacturers  as
part of our cost saving initiatives.

We  purchase material and components from various suppliers  that are either standard products or
built to our specifications. We obtain some of the  components included in  our  products from  a limited
group of suppliers or from a single-source supplier for items such as charge  coupled  device area
detectors, X-ray tubes, robotics and infrared  optics. Bruker AXS has  an ongoing collaboration and  joint
development project with the Siemens  Medical Solutions Vacuum Technology Division  in Germany for
the development of X-ray tubes. Some  Bruker AXS  subsidiaries,  Bruker Nano GmbH,  Bruker
Elemental GmbH, and Bruker AXS Handheld Inc., presently procure  key  X-ray detector chips and
certain OES optical detectors and miniaturized X-ray  sources from single-source suppliers. In addition,
BEST sources niobium titanium and other niobium  products from a single  supplier.

Research and Development

We  commit substantial capital and resources to internal and collaborative research and
development projects in order to provide  innovative products and solutions to our customers. We
conduct research primarily to enhance  system  performance and improve  the  reliability of existing

$177.2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,  respectively, for  research and development purposes.  Our
research and development efforts are conducted for the  relevant products within  each  of the operating
segments, as well as in collaboration on areas such as microfluidics,  automation and workflow
management software. We have been  the recipient of government grants from Germany and the U.S.
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 Segment

The research and development performed in the BEST segment  is primarily conducted at  our
facilities in Hanau, Bergisch Gladbach,  Cologne, and Alzenau, Germany. 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

17

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.

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 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 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 U.S. 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

18

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.

Our MALDI Biotyper System is subject to regulation in the U.S. by the FDA. As  such, we
continually invest in our manufacturing  operations and  quality systems infrastructures necessary to
maintain our FDA clearance. Our facilities in Billerica, Massachusetts have established quality
management systems and manufacturing operations which are designed and configured to comply  with
the standards and requirements for in  vitro diagnostic medical devices  stipulated by FDA  21 CFR
Part 820 and by ISO 13485:2003. The  Billerica, Massachusetts manufacturing facility is registered with
the FDA as a medical device manufacturing  facility, which is the same location  where the  MALDI
Biotyper System is manufactured and distributed.

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
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

19

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.

For the years ended December 31, 2013,  2012 and 2011, $6.1 million, $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 $81.9 million and $93.9 million at December 31,  2013  and 2012, respectively.  We also have
well-equipped applications and demonstration facilities and qualified application personnel who assist
customers and provide product demonstrations in specific application areas.  In total,  we held
$48.3 million and $55.0 million of demonstration inventory at December  31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.

Backlog

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

customers. Total system backlog at December 31,  2013 and  2012 was approximately $921  million  and
$1,035 million, respectively. We anticipate that approximately  82% of the backlog as of December 31,
2013 will be filled in 2014. 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, 2013 and 2012, we  had  approximately  6,200 and 6,400 full-time employees

worldwide, respectively. Of these employees,  approximately 1,200  were located in the  U.S. as  of
December 31, 2013 and 2012. Our employees in the U.S.  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, 2013, we had approximately 3,060  employees  in production and distribution,

1,480 employees in selling and marketing and 1,010  employees  in research and development.  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.

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

21

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
U.S. 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 20% and 21% of total  consolidated

revenue for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Our revenue from  operations in  Europe  represented
approximately 42% and 39% of total  consolidated revenue for the corresponding periods. Our  revenue
from operations in the Asia Pacific region  represented approximately 29% of total consolidated revenue
for each  of 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.

22

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 80% and 79%  of our
total consolidated revenue for fiscal 2013 and  2012, 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:127) changes in foreign currency exchange  rates;

(cid:127) changes in regulatory requirements;

(cid:127) legislation and regulation, including tariffs,  relating to the  import or export of high  technology

products;

(cid:127) the imposition of government controls;

(cid:127) political and economic instability, including international  hostilities, acts  of  terrorism  and

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

(cid:127) costs and risks of deploying systems in foreign  countries;

(cid:127) compliance with export laws and controls  in multiple  jurisdictions;

(cid:127) limited intellectual property rights; and

(cid:127) 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 FCPA 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

23

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  U.S. 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 2013,  we completed our acquisition of
Prairie Technologies, Inc. During 2012, we completed our  acquisition  of SkyScan N.V. and purchased
the assets of the pre-clinical optical imaging business of Carestream  Health,  Inc. During 2011, we
completed our acquisitions of Center for Tribology, Inc.  and  Michrom  BioResources  Inc. 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:127) coordinating or consolidating geographically separate organizations  and  integrating personnel

with different business backgrounds and  corporate cultures;

(cid:127) integrating previously autonomous departments in  sales  and marketing, distribution,  and

accounting and administrative functions, and information and management systems;

(cid:127) diversion of resources and management time;

(cid:127) disruption of our ongoing business;

(cid:127) potential impairment of relationships with customers as  a  result  of  changes in management or

otherwise arising out of such transactions;  and

24

(cid:127) 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  have been pursuing a number of strategies to improve our financial performance, which in
2013 included closing certain facilities within  our  CAM  and  BEST  divisions, and implementing various
restructuring and outsourcing initiatives in other divisions which  will continue into 2014. 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

25

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

26

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

27

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 U.S.,  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. During 2013,  we  closed facilities within our  CAM and
BEST divisions and implemented various  restructuring and  outsourcing  initiatives  that  will  continue
into 2014. 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 BEST 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.

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 BEST 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

28

superconducting wires. Similarly, BEST  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 BEST 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.

New regulations related to ‘‘conflict minerals’’ may cause  us to  incur  additional expenses and could limit the
supply and increase the cost of certain metals used  in manufacturing our products.

On August 22, 2012, the SEC adopted a new rule requiring disclosures by public companies  of
specified minerals, known as conflict  minerals,  that are necessary to the functionality  or production  of
products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured. The new  rule, which is effective for 2013 and
requires a disclosure report to be filed  by  May 31,  2014, requires us to perform due diligence, and to
disclose and report whether or not such minerals originate from the  Democratic Republic of Congo or
an adjoining country. The new rule could affect  sourcing at competitive prices and availability in
sufficient quantities of certain minerals  used  in the manufacture  of our products,  including tantalum,
tin, gold and tungsten. The number of  suppliers  who provide conflict-free  minerals may  be  limited. In
addition, there may be material costs associated with  complying with  the disclosure requirements, such
as costs related to determining the source of certain minerals  used  in our  products, as well as  costs of
possible changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as  a consequence  of  such verification
activities. As our supply chain is complex and we use contract manufacturers  for some of our products,
we may not be able to sufficiently verify the  origins of the relevant minerals used in  our  products
through the due diligence procedures  that we implement, which  may  harm our reputation. In  addition,
we may encounter challenges to satisfy  those customers who require that all of the components of  our
products be certified as conflict-free,  which could place us  at  a  competitive disadvantage if we are
unable to do so.

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

29

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
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 U.S. 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.

30

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 U.S. 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
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

31

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.

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.

32

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
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 above market level 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, 2013, we had outstanding an aggregate principal amount of debt totaling
approximately $355.0 million, including $240.0  million  of  senior unsecured notes,  $112.5 million of
long-term borrowings under our revolving  loan facility and $2.5 million of other debt. We  also had the
ability to borrow an additional $180.7  million from our existing credit  facilities.  Most of our outstanding
debt is in the U.S. and there are substantial cash  requirements  in the U.S. 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 $419.8 million, or  95.7% of our cash
held by foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013. 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 U.S. 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

33

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, intangible assets and other long-lived  assets are  subject to impairment.

We  have recorded goodwill, intangible  assets and other long-lived assets which  must  be  periodically

evaluated for potential impairment. We assess the realizability of the reported  goodwill,  intangible
assets and other long-lived 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 assets are
reported within. A decline in our stock  price and  market  capitalization may  also cause us to consider
whether goodwill, intangible assets and  other long-lived assets may require an impairment assessment.
Our ability to realize the value of these assets  will depend on the future cash  flows of  the reporting
segment in addition to how well we integrate  the businesses we acquire.  During 2012,  the Company
recorded  an impairment loss of $23.8  million  for goodwill, intangible  assets and  other long-lived 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 U.S.  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:127) the timing of sales of our products and services;

(cid:127) the timing of recognizing revenue and deferred  revenue under U.S. GAAP;

(cid:127) changes in our pricing policies or the  pricing  policies of our  competitors;

(cid:127) increases in sales and marketing, product  development or administration expenses;

(cid:127) the mix of services provided by us and third-party contractors;

34

(cid:127) our ability to attain and maintain quality levels for our  products;

(cid:127) costs related to acquisitions of technology or businesses; and

(cid:127) 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. Quarter-to-quarter  comparisons of our results  of operations  should not be relied on
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.

Existing stockholders have significant influence over  us.

As of February 20, 2014, Laukien family  members,  including our  Chairman, President and  Chief

Executive Officer Frank Laukien, Director and Executive Chairman of the  Bruker BioSpin Group  and
Joerg Laukien, a director and employee  of  the Company,  owned,  in the  aggregate,  approximately  34%
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 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:127) a staggered Board of Directors, where stockholders elect only a minority of the board each year;

(cid:127) advance notification procedures for matters to be brought before stockholder meetings;

(cid:127) a limitation on who may call stockholder meetings; and

(cid:127) 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  2013 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  closed
facilities within our CAM and BEST divisions,  as well  as implemented  various restructuring  and
outsourcing initiatives. We will continue  to  assess restructuring  and  outsourcing initiatives and the
impact  on our properties in the future.

35

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 U.S.
If we  should require additional or alternative  facilities,  we believe  that such facilities can be obtained
on short notice at competitive rates.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 9, 2013, PerkinElmer, Inc., Caliper Life Sciences, Inc., Xenogen Corporation  and the

Board of Trustees  of the Leland Stanford  Junior University  filed an  action in the  U.S. District Court,
California Northern District (Oakland) against the Company and, as  subsequently amended, the
Company’s Bruker BioSpin Corporation subsidiary, alleging breach of a  certain  agreement assumed by
Bruker BioSpin Corporation in connection with its purchase  of  the X-ray  and optical imaging  systems
business of Carestream Health, Inc. in October 2012. The suit  also  claimed that the Company  and
Bruker BioSpin Corporation engaged in conduct that  infringed  and/or induced infringement  of certain
patents held by or licensed to the plaintiffs. Subsequent to the  fourth  quarter  of  2013, the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve all claims. The settlement amount was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 and was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements of
the Company.

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 alleged that Bruker
AXS infringed, induced infringement, or contributed to the infringement of  certain  U.S. patents  related
to X-ray diffraction analysis held by Vertical Analytics  LLC. During  the fourth  quarter  of  2013, the
Company entered  into a settlement agreement  with Vertical Analytics LLC to resolve all claims. The
settlement amount was recorded in the fourth  quarter of 2013 and was  immaterial to the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.

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. During the  fourth quarter  of  2013, the Company entered  into  a settlement
agreement with Hyphenated Systems, LLC to resolve all  claims. The settlement amount was recorded
in the  fourth quarter of 2013 and was immaterial to the consolidated  financial  statements  of the
Company.

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

37

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
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, 2013, 2012 and 2011,  $6.1 million,  $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.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Business  Overview

Bruker Corporation and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries design, manufacture, service and distribute

proprietary life science and materials research systems based  on our technology platforms, including
magnetic resonance technologies, mass spectrometry technologies, gas  chromatography  technologies,
infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies,  X-ray technologies,  spark-optical emission
spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy,  and  stylus and optical metrology technology. We sell a broad
range of field analytical systems for chemical, biological,  radiological, nuclear and  explosive (CBRNE)
detection. We also develop and manufacture low temperature and  high temperature superconducting
wire products and superconducting wire  and  superconducting devices for  use in  advanced magnet
technology, physics research and energy applications.  Our diverse  customer base includes life  science,
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and molecular diagnostic research companies,  academic institutions,
advanced materials and semiconductor industries and government  agencies.  Our corporate headquarters
are located in Billerica, Massachusetts. We maintain major  technical  and  manufacturing centers  in
Europe, North America and Japan and  we have sales offices located throughout  the world.

Our business strategy is to capitalize on  our  ability to innovate  and generate above market revenue

growth, both organically and through  acquisitions. Our revenue  growth strategy combined  with
anticipated improvements to our gross  profit margins  and  increased leverage on our research and
development, sales and marketing and  distribution  investments  and general and administrative expenses
is expected to enhance our operating  margins and improve our  profitability in the  future.

We  are organized into four operating  segments: the  Bruker BioSpin Group, the Bruker CALID
Group, the Bruker MAT Group, and Bruker  Energy  & Supercon  Technologies (BEST) division. The
Bruker BioSpin Group combines the Bruker Magnetic Resonance and Preclinical  Imaging divisions and

42

designs, manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on  magnetic  resonance
technology.

The Bruker CALID Group combines the  Bruker Life  Sciences and  Clinical (LSC), Bruker
Chemical and Applied Markets (CAM),  Bruker Detection and  Bruker Optics divisions and  designs,
manufactures, and distributes mass spectrometry and  chromatography instruments  and solutions for life
sciences, including proteomics, metabolomics  and clinical research applications. Our 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 includes the Bruker  AXS, Bruker Nano Surfaces, Bruker Nano  Analytical
and Bruker Elemental divisions and  designs,  manufactures and distributes advanced X-ray,  spark-optical
emission spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy  and stylus and  optical metrology  instrumentation  used
in non-destructive molecular, materials  and  elemental analysis.

The BEST division designs, manufactures and distributes low temperature  superconductor and  high

temperature superconductor materials for use  in advanced magnet technology  and energy applications
as well as linear accelerators, accelerator  cavities, insertion devices, other accelerator components and
specialty superconducting magnets for physics and energy research and  a variety of other scientific
applications.

For financial reporting purposes, we aggregate  the Bruker BioSpin,  Bruker CALID  and Bruker
MAT operating segments into the Scientific Instruments (BSI) reporting segment,  which represents
approximately 93% of the Company’s  revenues for  the year ended December 31, 2013.  This
aggregation reflects these operating segments’  similar economic characteristics, production processes,
customer services provided, types and  classes  of  customers, methods of distribution and regulatory
environments. As such, management  reports its financial results based  on the following segments:

(cid:127) BSI. The operations of the BSI 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 BSI 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:127) BEST. The operations of the BEST segment include the  design, manufacture  and  distribution 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 BEST 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
BEST 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, 2013,  our revenue increased by $48.0 million, or  2.7%, to
$1,839.4 million, compared to $1,791.4  million  for the  year ended December  31, 2012. Included  in this
change in revenue are decreases of approximately $5.3 million from the impact of foreign exchange due
to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the  Japanese Yen,  offset  by a  weakening of the  U.S.
Dollar versus the Euro, and approximately $3.8 million attributable to recent acquisitions and
divestitures. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange and our recent acquisitions and  divestitures,
revenue increased by $57.1 million, or  3.2%. The increase in revenue on an  adjusted basis is
attributable to the BSI segment, which increased by $56.6  million, or 3.4%, and  the BEST segment,
which  increased by $6.5 million, or 4.8%, offset  by intersegment  eliminations.

Revenue in the BSI segment on an adjusted basis reflects increased sales in the  Bruker BioSpin
and Bruker CALID Groups, specifically  nuclear magnetic resonance products,  MALDI  Biotyper  and
Fourier  transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) products  sold by our  LSC division and improved
commercial execution by our Bruker Optics division.  These  increases were partially  offset by declines in
the Bruker MAT Group, specifically  atomic force microscopy  and X-ray products.  The mix of products
sold in the BSI segment during 2013 reflects  significant quarterly  variability in  demand, both
geographically and by end market, for  our products.  In  particular, there was  an increase in  demand in
academic markets, especially in Europe  and  Asia, offset  by decreased demand  from customers  in
industrial and microelectronics markets,  particularly in Asia.  We  are uncertain whether the recent
market conditions will continue or how  our revenue derived from those  market segments  may be
affected. Revenues in the BEST segment increased due to increased sales of low temperature
superconducting wire as well as beamline and cavity device  sales, partially offset by an incremental
decline  of $10.7 million of license revenue recognized on the  sale of technology.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2013  was $805.2 million compared  to  $829.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Our gross  profit margin for  the year  ended December 31, 2013
was 43.8%, compared with 46.3% for the  year  ended December 31, 2012. Excluding the effects  of
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other  acquisition-related costs and restructuring
charges totaling, in the aggregate, $27.3  million and  $21.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively, gross profit  margins  decreased to 45.3% for the year  ended December 31,
2013 compared with 47.5% for the year  ended December 31, 2012.  The  decrease in gross profit
margins for the year ended December 31,  2013 was partially due to the negative  effects of foreign
exchange rates, including the impact of  the strengthening  of  the U.S.  Dollar versus the Japanese Yen,
as our Yen denominated revenues substantially  exceeded our Yen denominated  expenses. Changes  in
the value of the Yen compared to the U.S. Dollar can have a significant positive or negative affect on
our  gross profit margins and income  from operations. In addition, there was  a year-over-year  decline in
the amount of license revenue recognized on the sale of technology in the BEST segment, which had
no cost of revenue and further decreased our gross profit margins. Finally, volume and  pricing declines
in our Bruker MAT Group had a negative impact on our margins.

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

$628.4 million, or 34.2% of revenue,  in 2013 from  $635.7 million,  or 35.5% of revenue, in 2012. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in
2013 is attributable to lower discretionary spending, including management’s  decision to reduce
spending in less profitable portions of the Company and lower levels  of  research  and development
material consumption. These effects were partially offset by  increased general and administrative
spending related to certain investments, including  financial systems improvements.

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

44

other long-lived assets to reduce the carrying value to their estimated fair  value. There  was  no
impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Other charges, net were $28.6 million in 2013  as compared to $13.9  million  in 2012. The  increase
in other charges, net was primarily due  to  $18.2 million  of restructuring costs recorded in  2013 related
to closing facilities and implementing outsourcing and other restructuring  initiatives.  Of  the
$18.2 million, $15.9 million is within  the BSI segment and  $2.3 million is  within the BEST segment.
This was partially offset by a decrease  in legal  and  other  professional service fees associated with  our
internal investigation and review of our  operations in  China.

Income from operations for the year  ended December 31, 2013  was  $148.2 million, resulting in  an

operating margin of 8.1%, compared to income from operations  of $156.0 million, resulting in an
operating margin of 8.7%, for the year ended  December  31,  2012. Included  in income from operations
are various charges for amortization  of acquisition-related intangible assets  and other acquisition-
related costs; impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other  long-term  assets;  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,  $57.3 million and $63.0 million in 2013
and 2012, respectively. Excluding these charges, operating  margins were 11.2%  in 2013 and 12.2% in
2012. Adjusting for these items, the decrease  in operating  margins for the year ended  December 31,
2013 compared to the prior year is primarily  due to the  negative effects of foreign  exchange rates,
including the impact of the strengthening of the  U.S. Dollar  versus the  Japanese Yen, as  our  Yen
denominated revenues substantially exceeded  our  Yen denominated expenses.  This was partially offset
by lower selling, general and administrative expenses  and research  and  development  expenses as noted
above. We are continuing to focus on controlling  costs and  are  reviewing additional selective  cost saving
programs to further reduce expenses and improve  operating margins in 2014.

Our effective tax rate for 2013 was 34.3%, compared to 43.5% for 2012. The decrease  in the
effective tax rate was primarily due to  the impairment charges noted above  recorded in 2012,  for which
a tax  deduction was not permitted.

Our net  income attributable to the shareholders  of  Bruker Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 2013 was $80.1 million,  or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $77.5 million, or $0.46
per  diluted share, for the year ended  December 31, 2012.  The increase  for the year ended
December 31, 2013 was primarily due  to higher revenue levels, reductions in overall operating  expenses
and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset  by  a decline in gross profit 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, inventory reductions 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 our historical  experience,  current market and economic  conditions, industry
trends,  and other assumptions that we believe are  reasonable  and form the basis for  making judgments

45

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 are
generally transferred upon customer acceptance for a system that has been  delivered  to  the customer
and installed. 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 either using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE),
third-party evidence (TPE) or estimated  selling price  (ESP).  We  attempt to  determine the  fair value of
using VSOE. If VSOE is not available,  we use  TPE, and  when we can’t determine VSOE or  TPE we
use ESP. Typically, we cannot ascertain TPE. 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 the
percentage-of-completion method 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  and losses are
recorded  immediately when we estimate that contracts will ultimately  result in  a loss.  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 annual effective tax rate,  and the calculation of deferred tax  assets and
liabilities, the forecasted profitability  of our  subsidiaries in certain geographic  jurisdictions, 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 or credits  to  operations.  The
expiration of statutes of limitations affecting  estimates made  for uncertain tax positions can  cause
higher earnings.

46

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  or products  no longer
offered  for sale. 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 goodwill for impairment

annually and when events occur or circumstances change. We test  goodwill for  impairment at the
reporting unit level, which is the operating segment or  one  level  below an  operating segment.  Under
U.S. GAAP, we have the option of performing a  qualitative assessment  to  determine  whether  further
impairment testing is necessary before performing a two-step quantitative assessment. The qualitative
assessment requires significant judgments about  macro-economic conditions including the entity’s
operating environment; its industry and other market considerations; entity-specific events related to
financial performance or loss of key personnel; and other events that  could impact the  reporting unit.
If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, it is  more-likely-than-not that  the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test  will be required.  Otherwise, no
further testing is required. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, the  first  step 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 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.

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.

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
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
caused 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, changes to our reserve levels may be required.

Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2013,  our revenue increased by $48.0 million, or  2.7%, to
$1,839.4 million, compared to $1,791.4  million  for the  year ended December  31, 2012. Included  in this
change in revenue are decreases of approximately $5.3 million from the impact of foreign exchange due

48

to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the  Japanese Yen,  offset  by a  weakening of the  U.S.
Dollar versus the Euro, and approximately $3.8 million attributable to recent acquisitions and
divestitures. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange and our recent acquisitions and  divestitures,
revenue increased by $57.1 million, or  3.2%. The increase in revenue on an  adjusted basis is
attributable to both the BSI segment, which increased by $56.6 million, or  3.4%, and the BEST
segment, which increased by $6.5 million,  or 4.8%%, offset by intersegment  eliminations.

Revenue in the BSI segment on an adjusted basis reflects increased sales in the  Bruker BioSpin
and Bruker CALID Groups, particularly nuclear magnetic resonance  products, MALDI Biotyper and
FTMS products sold by our LSC division, and improved commercial execution by our Bruker Optics
division. These increases were partially offset by reduced sales in the Bruker  MAT Group, particularly
atomic force microscopy and X-ray products. The mix  of products  sold  in the BSI segment during 2013
reflects significant quarterly variability  in  demand,  both geographically  and  by  end market, for  our
products. In particular, there was an  increase  in demand in academic markets, especially  in Europe and
Asia, offset by decreased demand from  customers  in industrial  and  microelectronics  markets,
particularly in Asia. Revenues in the BEST  segment increased due to increased  sales  of  low
temperature superconducting wire as well as  beamline and cavity device sales, partially offset by an
incremental decline of $10.7 million  of license revenue recognized on the  sale of  technology.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013  was  $1,034.2 million, resulting  in a
gross  profit margin of 43.8%, compared to cost  of revenue  of  $962.0 million, resulting  in a gross  profit
margin of 46.3%, for the year ended December  31, 2012.  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,
2013 and 2012 includes charges of $27.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively,  representing
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other  acquisition-related costs and restructuring
charges during 2013. Excluding these charges,  our  gross profit margin for the year ended  December 31,
2013 and 2012 was 45.3% and 47.5%,  respectively. The  lower gross profit margin  was  partially  due  to
the negative effects of foreign exchange rates, including  the impact  of the strengthening of the  U.S.
Dollar versus the Japanese Yen, as our Yen  denominated revenues  substantially exceeded our  Yen
denominated expenses. Changes in the  value  of  the Yen compared to the U.S.  Dollar  can have  a
significant positive or negative effect on  our  gross profit margins and  income from operations. In
addition, there was a year-over-year decline in the amount of license revenue  recognized on the sale of
technology in the BEST segment, which had  no cost of revenue  and  further decreased our gross profit
margins. Finally, volume and pricing  declines in  our  Bruker MAT Group had a negative impact on our
margins.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expense for  the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased
to $437.9 million, or 23.8% of revenue,  from $440.4 million, or  24.6%  of  revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2012. The decrease in  selling, general  and  administrative expenses is driven by the
impact of lower discretionary spending, partially offset by increased general  and administrative spending
related to certain investments, including  financial system improvements, as well  as expenses  due  to
recent acquisitions.

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for the year ended December 31,  2013 decreased to

$190.5 million, or 10.4% of revenue,  from  $195.3 million, or 10.9%  of revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 2012. The decrease in  research and development expenses was attributable to

49

management’s decision to reduce spending in less profitable portions of the Company  and lower  levels
of material costs.

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.

At December 31, 2013, the Company performed its  annual goodwill  and indefinite-lived intangible

impairment evaluation by performing a qualitative assessment and concluded  that  it is
more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the  reporting units  are  greater than  their carrying amount,
and therefore, no impairment is required. At  December  31, 2012, the  Company performed its annual
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment  evaluation by performing a quantitative assessment
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  and represented  all the  goodwill  allocated to the
CAM  division. 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.

The increased deterioration in financial  performance of the CAM division  during 2012 discussed

above was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible  assets and other
long-term assets within that reporting  unit  for  recoverability. The Company performed a valuation at
December 31, 2012 and determined that the  definite-lived intangible  assets and certain other long-term
assets within the CAM division were impaired. The  Company recorded an  impairment charge  in the
amount of $21.2 million for the year  ended December 31, 2012 to reduce the  carrying value of those
assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment  losses  were recorded related  to  definite-lived
intangible assets during the year ended December  31, 2013.

In addition, based on the abandonment of a  project in the BEST reporting  unit in 2012 there was

an indicator requiring the evaluation of those  long-lived assets for  recoverability. The Company
performed a valuation at December  31, 2012, and determined  that certain of the  other long-lived assets
within the BEST reporting unit were impaired. During the year ended December 31,  2012, an
impairment charge in the amount of  $1.2 million related to property, plant and  equipment was
recorded  to reduce the carrying value  of those  assets to their estimated fair  values.

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

assets, for possible future impairment.

Other  Charges

Other charges, net of $28.6 million recorded  in 2013 related primarily  to  the BSI segment.  The

charges consist of $18.2 million of restructuring costs,  including $15.9 million  within the BSI  segment
and $2.3 million within the BEST segment, related  to  closing facilities and implementing outsourcing
and other restructuring initiatives, $6.1 million of legal and other professional service fees associated
with our internal investigation and review  of our operations in China, $3.6 million of acquisition-related
costs and $0.7 million related to two factory  relocations within the BEST segment.

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 within the  BEST  segment, and  $0.8 million of
other charges.

50

In 2014, we expect to incur $15-$20 million of expense related to various outsourcing initiatives

and other restructuring activities that were  implemented in 2013 or will commence in 2014.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net during the  year ended December  31, 2013 was  $(23.6)

million, compared to $(17.7) million  for the  year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2013,  the major components within interest and  other
income (expense), net were net interest expense of  $12.4 million and realized  and unrealized losses on
foreign currency transactions of $10.4  million. 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 realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency transactions  of  $6.8 million, partially  offset by a
$2.2 million gain on the sale of a product line  during 2012.

The decrease in interest expense is driven by the maturity  of  an interest rate swap at the end  of
2012. The realized and unrealized losses  on foreign  currency transactions during 2013  were driven by
the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and Euro versus a number of currencies  in which we operate.

We  expect to incur approximately $14 million of interest expense in 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision generally reflects amounts  for non-U.S. entities only as 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
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, 2013 was  $42.8 million compared to an
income tax provision of $60.1 million for  the year  ended December  31, 2012,  representing  effective tax
rates of 34.3% and 43.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective  tax rate is primarily due to the
impairment charges recorded in 2012, for  which a tax deduction was not permitted.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling  interests for  the year ended December 31, 2013  was

$1.7 million compared to $0.7 million  for the  year ended December 31, 2012.  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, 2013 was
$80.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net  income of  $77.5 million, or $0.46  per  diluted
share, for 2012. The increase for the  year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to higher
revenue levels, reductions in overall operating expenses and a  lower effective tax rate, partially  offset by
a decline in gross margins.

BSI Segment Revenues

BSI segment revenue increased by $43.4 million, or 2.6%,  to  $1,709.5 million  for the  year  ended
December 31, 2013, compared to $1,666.1 million for  the year  ended December 31, 2012. Included in
this  change in revenue is a decrease  of  approximately $9.4  million from the impact of changes on
foreign exchange rates due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the  Japanese  Yen, offset by a
weakening of the U.S. Dollar versus  the Euro, and  a decrease of approximately $3.8 million
attributable to our recent acquisitions  and  divestitures. Excluding the effect of  foreign exchange  and
acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased by  $56.6 million, or 3.4%.

The Bruker BioSpin Group experienced  an increase in  revenue, primarily driven by increased  sales
of nuclear magnetic resonance products  due to strong demand  from  academic customers, particularly in
Europe and Asia. The Bruker CALID  Group  also experienced an increase in  revenue, driven primarily
by increases in MALDI Biotyper and  FTMS  products sold  by our LSC division and improved
commercial execution by our Bruker Optics division.  The Bruker MAT  Group experienced  a decrease
in revenue across most of its divisions driven  by declines  in atomic force  microscopy  products and
X-ray products. This resulted from lower  demand  from customers in industrial and microelectronics
markets, particularly in Asia.

System revenue and aftermarket revenue  as a percentage of total  BSI  segment revenue were as

BEST Segment Revenues

BEST segment revenues increased by  $11.2 million, or 8.2%, to $147.4 million  for the  year  ended

December 31, 2013, compared to $136.2 million for  the year  ended December 31, 2012.  Included in
this  change in revenue is an increase of approximately $4.7 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 $6.5 million, or  4.8%.  The increase in  revenue,
excluding the effect of foreign exchange, is primarily attributable  to  increased sales of low  temperature
superconducting wire as well as beamline and cavity devices, partially  offset by a  $10.7 million
reduction in license revenue recognized  on  the sale  of technology.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2013, gross profit margin in the BSI segment decreased to
45.3% from 47.4% versus the comparable  period in 2012.  Lower gross profit margins  resulted primarily
from the negative effects of foreign exchange rates, including the impact of the strengthening  of the
U.S. Dollar versus the Japanese Yen,  and volume and pricing declines in our Bruker  MAT Group. In
addition, restructuring charges were recorded during the year ended  December 31, 2013 related to
closing facilities and implementing outsourcing and other restructuring  initiatives. BEST segment gross
profit margin decreased to 21.5% from  31.2%  for the comparable period in 2012, primarily due a
decline  in recognition of license revenue on the  sale of technology, which  had no cost of  revenue. For
the year ended December 31, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses  and research and
development expenses in the BSI segment decreased to $609.1 million, or 35.6% of  segment revenue,
from $614.0 million, or 36.9% of segment revenue,  for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease
was driven by the impact of lower discretionary spending, management’s decision to reduce research
and development spending in less profitable portions of the business and  lower levels of research and
development material consumption, partially offset  by higher general and administrative spending
related to certain investments, including  financial system improvements, as well  as expenses due to
recent acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development
expenses in the BEST segment decreased to $19.3 million, or 13.1% of segment revenue, from
$26.2 million, or 19.2% of segment revenue for the comparable period  in 2012. The decrease was
attributable to lower discretionary spending and the  impact of management’s decision to reduce
research and development spending in  less profitable portions of the business.

BSI segment income from operations for the  year  ended December 31, 2013 was $138.9 million,

resulting in an operating margin of 8.1%,  compared to income  from operations of $140.8  million,
resulting in an operating margin of 8.5%,  for the  year ended December 31, 2012. Income from
operations includes $54.1 million and $59.2 million in the  years  ended December  31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively, included various charges representing amortization  of  acquisition-related intangible assets
and other acquisition-related costs, impairment of goodwill, definite-lived intangible  assets and other
long-lived assets, and restructuring and  relocation costs.  Excluding  these  costs, income from operations
in the BSI segment would have been  $193.0 million and $200.0 million, resulting in operating  margins
of 11.3% and 12.0%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Income  from
operations, on an adjusted basis, declined primarily as a result of lower gross  margins, due in part to
the negative effects of foreign exchange rates, including  the impact  of the strengthening of the  U.S.
Dollar versus the Japanese Yen, as our Yen  denominated revenues  substantially exceeded our  Yen
denominated expenses. These declines  were partially offset by higher revenues described above.

The Company recorded restructuring  costs within the BSI segment  of $23.0 million for  the year

ended December 31, 2013, related to  closing facilities and implementing outsourcing and other
restructuring initiatives. The Company recorded an impairment  of  assets within the BSI 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.

BEST segment income from operations for the year ended  December 31, 2013 was $9.5  million,

resulting in an operating margin of 6.4%,  compared to income  from operations of $12.8  million,
resulting in an operating margin of 9.4%,  for the  year ended December 31, 2012. The  decline  in
operating margin was primarily the result of lower levels of license revenue  on the sale of technology,
which  had no cost of revenue, and $2.3 million of restructuring expenses recorded  during the year
ended December 31, 2013. These factors were  partially offset by lower selling, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses.  The  Company recorded an
impairment of assets within the BEST segment  of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31,  2012
to reduce the carrying value of certain  tangible long-lived assets to their  estimated fair value.

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
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

55

increase in revenue on an adjusted basis is attributable to both the  BSI segment, which  increased by
$158.5 million, or 10.2%, and the BEST  segment, which increased by $33.9  million, or  29.9%.

Revenue in the BSI 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 BSI 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 BEST 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  $962.0 million, resulting  in a gross

profit margin of 46.3%, 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 amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets
and other acquisition-related costs. 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 and amortization of acquisition-related  intangible  assets and
other acquisition-related costs. Excluding these charges, our gross  profit margin for the year ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 47.5%  and  47.0%, respectively. The  higher gross  profit margin  was
driven by license revenue from the sale  of technology  in the BEST segment,  which had no  cost of
revenue, 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

$440.4 million, or 24.6% 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 in dollars 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.

56

At December 31, 2012, the Company performed its  annual goodwill  and indefinite-lived intangible

impairment evaluation by performing a quantitative assessment 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 and represented all  the goodwill allocated to the CAM division. 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.

The increased deterioration in financial  performance of the CAM division  during 2012 discussed

above was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible  assets and other
long-term assets within that reporting  unit  for  recoverability. The Company performed a valuation at
December 31, 2012 and determined that the  definite-lived intangible  assets and certain other long-term
assets within the CAM division were impaired. The  Company recorded an  impairment charge  in the
amount of $21.2 million for the year  ended December 31, 2012 to reduce the  carrying value of those
assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment  losses  were recorded related  to  definite-lived
intangible assets during the years ended  December 31, 2013  and  2011.

In addition, based on the abandonment of a  project in the BEST reporting  unit in 2012 there was

an indicator requiring the evaluation of those  long-lived assets for  recoverability. The Company
performed a valuation at December  31, 2012, and determined  that certain of the  other long-lived assets
within the BEST reporting unit were impaired. During the year ended December 31,  2012, an
impairment charge in the amount of  $1.2 million related to property, plant and  equipment was
recorded  to reduce the carrying value  of those  assets to their estimated fair  values.

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  BEST  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 BSI

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.

57

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 realized  and unrealized losses on
foreign currency transactions 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 realized
and unrealized losses on foreign currency transactions 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
realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency transactions 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
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 was primarily due to the
impairment charges, for which a tax deduction was not permitted.

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.

BSI Segment Revenues

BSI 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.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2012,  gross profit margin in  the BSI segment increased to 47.4%
from 47.2% for the comparable period in 2011.  Excluding  the effects of certain non-recurring inventory
charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets  and other acquisition-related costs 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 48.7% for  the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011. The consistency 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. BEST segment gross profit margin increased to 31.2% from 19.8%  for the comparable period in
2011, primarily due to the recognition of license revenue  on the  sale of technology in 2012,  which had
no cost of revenue. For the year ended  December 31, 2012, selling,  general and administrative  expenses
and research and development expenses  in the  BSI segment increased to $614.0 million, or  36.9% of
segment revenue, from $560.8 million,  or  36.1% of segment revenue, for the comparable period in
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. Selling,
general and administrative expenses  and research  and development  expenses in the BEST segment
increased to $26.2 million, or 19.2%  of  segment revenue,  from $23.1  million, or 20.4% of segment
revenue for the comparable period in 2011. The decline as a percentage of  revenue was attributable to
the impact of recognizing license revenue in 2012 related to  the sale of technology.

BSI segment 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, representing inventory charges,  amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and
other acquisition-related costs, impairment  of  goodwill, definite-lived  intangible  assets and other
long-lived assets and other charges. Excluding these costs,  income from operations in the  BSI 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.

The Company recorded an impairment of assets  within the BSI 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.

BEST segment 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.

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.

61

During the year ended December 31, 2013,  net cash  provided by operating activities was

$145.0 million, resulting primarily from  $191.0 million  of consolidated net income adjusted for  non-cash
items, partially offset by a $46.0 million increase in working capital. The  increase in working capital for
the year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily the result of a reduction in income tax payables, in part
due to settlement of certain tax audits during 2013,  and  an increase in  accounts receivable from  our
higher  revenue levels. 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  driven by
higher  inventory levels. 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, 2013,  net cash  used  in investing activities was  $60.0 million,
compared to net cash used in investing  activities of $93.2 million  during the year ended December 31,
2012. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended  December  31, 2013 was attributable
primarily to $48.9 million of capital expenditures, net and $11.6  million used for acquisitions. 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. We currently
anticipate that our capital spending will  be below $50 million in  2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013,  net cash  provided by financing  activities was

$26.5 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $34.4  million during  the year
ended December 31, 2012. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31,
2013 was primarily attributable to proceeds  of revolving lines of credit  of $19.5 million and $8.2 million
of proceeds from the issuance of common  stock  in connection  with stock option exercises, offset, in
part, by repayment of debt of $1.6 million.  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.

At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012,  we had $419.8 million and $288.2  million,
respectively, of foreign cash and cash  equivalents, most  significantly in Germany, Switzerland and the
Netherlands, compared to a total amount of cash and cash equivalents  at  December 31,  2013 and
December 31, 2012 of $438.7 million  and $310.6  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. 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 and it  is our
current intent to indefinitely reinvest  unremitted earnings in  our foreign subsidiaries.

At December 31, 2013, we had outstanding debt totaling $355.0  million,  consisting of
$240.0 million outstanding under the  Note Purchase Agreement  described below, $112.5 million
outstanding under the revolving loan component of  the Amended  Credit  Agreement described  below
and $2.5 million under capital lease obligations and  other loans. 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

62

the Amended Credit Agreement described below  and $4.2  million  under capital lease  obligations and
other loans.

In May 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement of  a  credit agreement  originally
entered into in 2008, referred to as the  Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement
provides for a revolving credit line with  a maximum  commitment of $250.0 million  and maturity  date of
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% and (iii) adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% or (b) LIBOR,  plus margins  ranging from  0.80% to 1.65%.
There is  also a facility fee ranging from 0.20%  to  0.35%.

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. As of December 31, 2013, we were  in compliance  with the covenants of the Amended
Credit  Agreement. 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 on the Amended
Credit  Agreement, which could permit  acceleration of the debt under and require  us  to  prepay  the
debt before its scheduled due date.

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
available to the Company under revolving loans as  of December 31, 2013  (dollars  in millions):

In January 2012, we entered into a note  purchase agreement,  referred to  as 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:127) $20.0 million 3.16% Series 2012A senior notes due January 18, 2017;

(cid:127) $15.0 million 3.74% Series 2012A senior notes due January 18, 2019;

(cid:127) $105.0 million 4.31% Series 2012A  senior notes due January 18, 2022; and

(cid:127) $100.0 million 4.46% Series 2012A  senior notes due January 18, 2024.

As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with  the covenants  of the Note Purchase

Agreement. Our leverage ratio was 1.3 and our interest coverage ratio was 13.5.

As of December 31, 2013, we have approximately $30.3 million of U.S. net operating  loss
carryforwards available to reduce future state taxable income, which expire  at various  times  through
2033, and approximately $54.3 million  of German Trade Tax  net operating losses that are  carried
forward indefinitely. Additionally, we  have $8.6 million of  other foreign  net operating losses that are
expected to expire at various times beginning in 2022. We  also  have U.S.  tax credits of approximately

63

$18.8 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 2033  and
foreign tax credits  of $7.2 million expiring at various  times through  2023. 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 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, including a director and

executive officer and another member of our Board  of  Directors, and members of their immediate
family. During each of the years ended  December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, these shareholders  were
paid approximately $2.6 million, $2.4  million and $2.4 million, respectively, which was estimated  to  be
equal to the fair market value of the rentals.

During the years ended December 31, 2013,  2012 and 2011, we incurred expenses of  $5.3 million,
$2.4 million and $3.2 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, 2013,  2012 and 2011, we incurred expenses of  $0.2 million,
$0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively,  to  a financial services firm in  which one of the  members of
our  Board of Directors is a partner.

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

64

the same respective currencies, limiting  our transaction risk exposure. However,  for foreign  currency
denominated sales in certain regions, such as Japan, where  we do not incur significant costs
denominated in that foreign currency,  we  are more exposed to the impact of  foreign currency
fluctuations. For sales not denominated in  U.S. Dollars,  if  there is  an increase in  the rate  at which a
foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. Dollars, it  will  require more of the  foreign currency to equal a
specified amount of U.S. Dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our products
in the foreign currency, we will receive less  in U.S.  Dollars than we 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, 2013 and 2012 our revenue by geography  was  as follows (dollars in  millions):

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates  decreased  our revenue by approximately 0.3% in  the
year ended December 31, 2013 and decreased revenue  by 4.7% in the year ended December 31, 2012.

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, 2013 and 2012, we
recorded  net gains from currency translation adjustments of $27.3 million and $8.8 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 $10.4 million  and $6.8  million  for years ended December 31, 2013  and 2012,
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, 2013 and 2012, we had foreign currency  contracts with notional amounts

aggregating $95.9 million and $94.3 million,  respectively. At December 31, 2013,  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,

2013, we anticipate that these contracts  will  result in  net cash  flows of  $2.3 million in 2014.  At
December 31, 2013, 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  $9.8 million and  if the
U.S. Dollar strengthened by 10%, the  market value of our foreign currency  contracts would  decrease by
approximately $9.8 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. We currently have  a higher
level  of  fixed rate debt than variable 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, 2013 and  December 31, 2012, we had
fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.4 million. The fair  value of  the
fixed price commodity contracts at December 31, 2013  and  December 31,  2012 was $0.1 million and
$(0.2) 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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013. 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, 2013 and 2012,  and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash  flows  for  each  of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2013, 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, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated  Framework  issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of the Treadway Commission  (1992  framework) and  our
report dated February 27, 2014 expressed an unqualified  opinion thereon.

BRUKER CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Business

Bruker Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (‘‘Bruker’’ or the  ‘‘Company’’), is a

designer and manufacturer of proprietary life science  and materials  research  systems and associated
products that address the rapidly evolving  needs of a diverse array of customers in  life science,
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical and molecular diagnostics  research, and  materials  and chemical
analysis in various industries and government applications.

The Company has two reporting segments, Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI), which represents

approximately 93% of the Company’s  revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013, and
Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST), which represents the  remainder of the  business.  Within BSI,
the Company is organized into three  operating segments:  the Bruker BioSpin  Group, the Bruker
CALID Group and the Bruker MAT Group. For financial reporting purposes, the  Bruker BioSpin,
Bruker CALID and Bruker MAT operating segments  are aggregated into the BSI reporting  segment
because each has similar economic characteristics, production processes, service offerings, types and
classes of customers, methods of distribution and regulatory environments.

Bruker BioSpin—Bruker BioSpin designs, manufactures and distributes  enabling  life science

tools based on magnetic resonance and  preclinical imaging technologies.  Bruker  BioSpin’s
Magnetic Resonance division sells various systems utilizing magnetic resonance technology,
including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems,  nuclear magnetic resonance  systems (NMR),
and electron paramagnetic resonance systems (EPR) as well as OEM  MRI  magnets to medical
device manufacturers. Bruker BioSpin’s preclinical imaging  division sells single and multiple
modality systems using MRI, position emission tomography (PET), single photon  emission
tomography (SPECT), computed tomography  (CT), magnetic particle  imaging  (MPI) and optical
imaging (fluorescence and bioluminescence) technologies to  preclinical  markets.

Bruker CALID (Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science,  In-Vitro Diagnostics, Detection)—

Bruker CALID designs, manufactures  and distributes life science  mass spectrometry instruments
that can be integrated and used along with other sample preparation or chromatography
instruments, as well as Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE)
detection products and instruments based on Raman molecular spectroscopy  technologies. Bruker
CALID’s mass spectrometry units are typically used in applications  of  expression  proteomics,
clinical proteomics, metabolic and peptide biomarker profiling, drug discovery and  development,
molecular diagnostics research, molecular  and systems  biology,  and basic molecular medicine
research and clinical microbiology (for research use only outside the  European Union).

Bruker MAT (Materials)—Bruker MAT  designs, manufactures  and  distributes spectroscopy and
microscopy instruments for the understanding of composition and structure in  material  science and
life science samples. The instruments are based  on advanced technologies in X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD),  X-ray micro computed tomography ((cid:1)CT), atomic
force microscopy (AFM), stylus and  optical metrology  (SOM),  fluorescence  microscopy (FM),
analytical tools for electron microscopes, handheld, portable, and mobile X-ray  fluorescence, and
spark optical emission spectroscopy systems.

The Company’s BEST reporting segment develops and  manufactures superconducting and
non-superconducting materials and devices  for use in renewable energy, energy infrastructure,
healthcare and ‘‘big science’’ research. The segment focuses on  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.

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.

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 primarily  include  cash  on hand, money market funds and time  deposits

with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. 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,
2013, the Company had $6.7 million  of restricted cash, of which $4.0 million was classified as
non-current. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $7.6 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

76

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
of income and comprehensive income.

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

or liabilities in active markets.

(cid:127) 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:127) 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.

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

77

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 as of December 31, 2013  and  2012. As of December 31,  2013 and 2012,
no single customer represented 10% of  the Company’s accounts receivable. For the  years  ended
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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
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.

78

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at  the reporting unit level, which is  the operating

segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has the option of performing a
qualitative assessment to determine whether  further impairment testing  is necessary before performing
the two-step quantitative assessment. If  as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is
more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying  amount,  a
quantitative impairment test will be required. Otherwise,  no further testing  will  be  required. If  a
quantitative impairment test is performed, 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.

79

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 or service  agreement.

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. This guidance prescribes 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  and  evidence of installation 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 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.

80

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 the percentage-of-completion method
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 could
affect the timing of revenue recognition.

Other revenues are primarily comprised of licensing  arrangements. 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 $26.7 million, $30.5  million  and $28.7  million
in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012  and 2011, 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.

81

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as  incurred. Advertising expenses were $9.6 million,
$7.5 million and $8.1 million during the years ended  December  31, 2013,  2012 and 2011,  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, 2013, 2012
and 2011, 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,  and members of  the Company’s
Board of Directors, 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:

2013

Risk-free interest rate . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 $10.37, $7.11 and $7.89 per share for the  years ended December  31,
2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 7.0%, 5.7%  and  5.2% for  the years ended December 31, 2013,  2012 and
2011, respectively, in determining the expense recorded in  the accompanying consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income.

82

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
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):

Stock options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares, 0.6 million shares  and 0.1  million

shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings  per  share for the years ended
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 and changes in the funded  status of  defined benefit  pension  plans.

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  translation of  foreign
currency monetary 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
has 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.

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 of America 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,  including  reclassifications  within  product

cost of revenue, service cost of revenue  and selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as
certain footnote disclosures, including  Note 7—Property  Plant and Equipment, have  been reclassified.
These amounts are not material and  had  no effect on previously  reported net income or  cash flows.

Note 3—Acquisitions

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 accounted for  under the
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 $4.0 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
annual revenue target for 2012 was achieved and the  applicable contingent  consideration paid in  2013.
The Company’s allocation of the consideration transferred in  connection with  the acquisition of the
SkyScan business was finalized in the first  quarter of 2013 and measurement date adjustments were not
material. 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 BSI 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.

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

$244.1 and $255.6 million at December 31,  2013 and 2012, respectively, based on market and
observable sources with similar maturity  dates.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at  fair value with  changes in fair  value
recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment  may be elected either upon initial recognition of an
eligible asset or liability or, for an existing  asset or liability, if an event triggers  a new basis of
accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities
during the year ended December 31, 2013.

As part of certain acquisitions in 2013 and 2012,  the Company recorded contingent consideration
liabilities that have been classified as  Level 3  in the fair  value hierarchy. The contingent consideration
represents the estimated fair value of  future  payments to the former shareholders of  applicable
acquired companies based on achieving annual revenue targets in certain years as specified in  the
purchase and sale agreements. The Company initially valued  the  contingent consideration by using the
discounted cash flow method. Changes  to  the fair value of the  contingent consideration recognized in
earnings for the years ended December  31, 2013 was $1.5 million  and was  recorded to other charges,
net in the consolidated statements of income  and  comprehensive income. The following table sets  forth
the changes in contingent consideration liabilities for the  years  ended December  31, 2013 and 2012 (in

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 records 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.

not yet installed and accepted by the  customer.  As of  December 31,  2013 and 2012, inventory-in-transit
was $81.9 million and $93.9 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 $32.7 million, $31.5 million  and $30.0 million  for the
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 Chemical and  Applied
Markets (CAM) division within the BSI  segment as a  result of experiencing  increased  deterioration in

88

its  financial performance and the BEST segment  based on  the abandonment of  a project,  to  reduce the
carrying  value of those assets to their  estimated fair values. The charge is recorded  within ‘‘Impairment

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, all goodwill was allocated to the  BSI  segment. The goodwill

acquired in 2013 relates to the acquisition of  Prairie Technologies, Inc., a provider of life science
fluorescence microscopy products. The goodwill acquired in 2012 predominantly relates to the
acquisition of the SkyScan business.

At December 31, 2013, the Company  performed its annual impairment  evaluation using a

qualitative approach and no impairment  was recorded.

At December 31, 2012, the Company  performed its annual impairment  evaluation using a

quantitative approach and concluded  all reporting units’ fair values  exceeded their carrying values, with
the exception of the CAM division, as a result of 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 nor any impairment
of indefinite-lived intangible assets during year ended December 31,  2012.

No impairment losses were recorded on goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company determined the increased  deterioration in financial performance in  2012 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
statements of income and comprehensive income. No impairment losses were recorded  related to
definite-lived intangible assets during  the years ended  December 31,  2013 and 2011.

For the years ended December 31, 2013,  2012 and 2011, the  Company recorded amortization

expense of approximately $20.8 million, $22.0  million  and $18.1 million,  respectively, in  the
consolidated statements of income and  comprehensive income.

The estimated future amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets at

December 31, 2013 is as follows (in millions):

In May 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to, and restatement of, its credit

agreement, referred to as the Amended Credit  Agreement.  The Amended  Credit  Agreement provides a
maximum commitment on the Company’s  revolving  credit line  of $250.0 million and  a maturity date of
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% and (iii) adjusted LIBOR  plus 1.00% or  (b) LIBOR, plus margins ranging  from 0.80%
to 1.65%. There is also a facility fee  ranging from 0.20%  to 0.35%.

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. Specifically,  the

91

Company’s leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.0 and the Company’s interest  coverage  ratio cannot be less
than 3.0. As of December 31, 2013, the Company  was in compliance with  the covenants of the
Amended Credit Agreement. 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
on the Amended Credit Agreement,  which could permit acceleration of the debt  and require  the
Company to prepay the debt before its  scheduled due date.

The following is a summary of the maximum  commitments and the net  amounts  available  to  the

Company under the revolving loan arrangements  at December 31, 2013 (in millions):

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,  referred to as 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:127) $20 million 3.16% Series 2012A Senior Notes,  Tranche  A,  due January  18, 2017;

(cid:127) $15 million 3.74% Series 2012A Senior Notes,  Tranche  B, due January  18, 2019;

(cid:127) $105 million 4.31% Series 2012A Senior Notes,  Tranche  C, due  January 18,  2022; and

(cid:127) $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.

92

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
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, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the  covenants of 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
which  totaled $112.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company  currently has a higher  level of fixed
rate debt than variable rate debt, which  limits the exposure to adverse movements  in interest rates.

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
have on its monetary transactions. Under these arrangements, the Company typically agrees to

93

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 $21.7 million for the delivery of products and $9.5  million for the purchase of products at
December 31, 2013 and $40.2 million  for the delivery  of  products  and $10.3  million for the purchase of
products at December 31, 2012. 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
entered into commodity hedge contracts. At December 31, 2013 and  2012, the Company  had fixed
price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.4 million. 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.

During the years ended December 31, 2012  and  2011, the Company recognized $0.2 million  and

$0.3 million, respectively, of losses in other comprehensive income and reclassified $1.3 million  and
$2.2 million, respectively, of losses from other  comprehensive income and recognized  into  net income
related to the effective portion of the interest rate  swap designated as a hedging instrument  that
matured as of December 31, 2012.

Net deferred tax liability . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

$(10.9) $ 4.4

The Company uses the liability method  to  account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred

income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between  the tax  and
financial accounting bases of assets and  liabilities at each  reporting period.  Deferred income taxes are
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which these  differences
are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is  established  when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the expected realized amounts.

The Company can only recognize a deferred tax asset to the  extent this it  is ‘‘more likely than not’’

that these assets will be realized. After considering all available positive and  negative  evidence, the
Company established a valuation allowance against deferred  tax assets  in certain jurisdictions  as it is
more likely than not that these assets will  not be realized.  In  determining the realizability of these
assets, the Company considered numerous factors  including historical  profitability, the character and
estimated future taxable income, prudent and  feasible  tax  planning strategies, and the industry in  which
it operates. The Company fully reserved all U.S. net deferred  tax  assets, which  are predominantly net
operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. The Company’s valuation allowance at  December 31,
2013 increased by $2.5 million from the  balance at  December 31,  2012, due primarily to unbenefited
losses and credits in the U.S. Also during 2013, the Company  reduced its  beginning-of-the-year
valuation allowance by $3.3 million to  account for deferred tax liabilities recorded  in conjunction  with

97

the acquisition of Prairie Technologies, Inc.  that caused a change  in judgment  with respect  to  the
realizability of the Company’s deferred tax  assets in  future years.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has approximately  $30.3 million of U.S. net operating  loss

carryforwards available to reduce future  state taxable  income which expire  at various  times  through
2033 and approximately $54.3 million  of German Trade Tax  net operating losses that are  carried
forward indefinitely. Additionally, the Company  has $8.6 million of other foreign  net operating losses
that are expected to expire at various  times beginning in 2022. The Company  also has  U.S. tax credits
of approximately $18.8 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 2033
and foreign tax credits of $7.2 million expiring at  various times through 2023. 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  reflects  certain  foreign  statutory  reserves  in  its  tabular  reconciliation  of

unrecognized  tax  benefits.  Effective  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2013,  these  tax  benefits  are
presented as a reduction of the associated net deferred  tax  assets.

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

of approximately $1,054.0 million as of December 31, 2013, 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  practicable  to  estimate the
amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income taxes on  these undistributed earnings.

The Company has gross unrecognized  tax benefits, excluding interest, of  approximately
$32.7 million as of December 31, 2013, of which  $14.1 million, if  recognized,  would reduce  the
Company’s effective tax rate. In the next  twelve  months it is reasonably  possible  that  the Company will
reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by  $1-3 million  due to statutes of limitations expiring and favorably
settling with taxing authorities which would reduce 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’s policy is to include accrued interest and penalties related  to  unrecognized tax
benefits and income tax liabilities, when  applicable, in income tax  expense. As  of December  31, 2013
and 2012, the Company had approximately $3.8 million and $3.7  million, respectively, of accrued
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax  positions included in  other  long-term liabilities in  the
consolidated balance sheets. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.9 million
and $2.0 million were recorded in the provision for income  taxes during the  year  ended December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S., which  include federal, state  and local jurisdictions and

many  foreign jurisdictions with varying  statutes of limitations. The Company considers Germany,  the
U.S. and Switzerland to be its significant tax jurisdictions. The tax  years  2009 to 2012  are open  tax
years in these significant foreign jurisdictions. In the  fourth quarter  of 2012, the Company settled tax
audits in Switzerland and Germany. In  the first quarter  of  2014, the Company settled a  tax audit in the
U.S. for the tax year 2010. The settlement was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Tax
years 2011 to 2012 remain open for examination in the  U.S.

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.

Net Periodic Pension Cost

The components of net periodic benefit costs  for the  years  ended December  31, 2013, 2012 and

2011 were as follows:

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:

Discount rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Expected return on plan assets . . . . . . . . . .

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.

(d) U.S. and International equites primarily  include investments  in large market capitalization stocks.

property market by investing in residential and  commerical properties throughout Switzerland.

(f) Mortgage and other asset-backed  securities pool  together various cash-flow producing financial
assets typically collateralized by residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and  other assets.

A Board of Trustees comprised of employer  and  employee representatives of  the subsidiaries are

responsible for setting the policy that serves as the  framework for allocating  plan assets  within the
guidelines provided by the respective government. 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 Board of Trustees appoint the plan administrators  and
investment managers, who oversee the  investment allocation  process, 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 the Board of Trustees will approve allocations above or below  a target range based on
a number of factors, including market  conditions.

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 $8.8 million and $9.9 million at December 31,  2013 and 2012.
Accumulated amortization of the leased buildings at  December  31, 2013 and 2012 was $2.8 million and
$3.0 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, 2013, 2012 and  2011 was
$9.5 million, $20.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively,  and is classified in  other  revenue in  the
consolidated statements of income and  comprehensive income.  The  decrease in the  year ended
December 31, 2013 is driven by an incremental decline  in license revenue  from the sale of technology
by BEST. 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 on
the related product revenues. Licensing fees for the years ended  December 31, 2013, 2012  and 2011,
were $4.0 million, $4.2 million and $2.8  million, respectively, and  are  recorded in  cost of product
revenue in the consolidated statements  of income and comprehensive  income.

Legal

On April 9, 2013, PerkinElmer, Inc.,  Caliper Life Sciences, Inc., Xenogen Corporation  and the

Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University  filed an  action in the  U.S. District Court,
California Northern District (Oakland) against  the Company and, as  subsequently amended, the
Company’s Bruker BioSpin Corporation  subsidiary, alleging breach of a  certain  agreement assumed  by
Bruker BioSpin Corporation in connection with its purchase  of  the X-ray  and optical imaging  systems
business of Carestream Health, Inc. in  October 2012. The suit  also  claimed that the Company  and
Bruker BioSpin Corporation engaged in conduct that infringed  and/or induced infringement  of certain
patents held by or licensed to the plaintiffs. Subsequent to the  fourth  quarter  of  2013, the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with  the plaintiffs to resolve all claims. The settlement amount was
recorded  in the fourth quarter of 2013  and was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements of
the Company.

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 alleged that Bruker
AXS infringed, induced infringement,  or  contributed  to  the infringement of  certain  U.S. patents  related
to X-ray diffraction analysis held by Vertical Analytics  LLC. During  the fourth  quarter  of  2013, the
Company entered into a settlement agreement  with Vertical Analytics LLC to resolve all claims. The
settlement amount was recorded in the  fourth quarter of 2013 and was  immaterial to the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.

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. During the  fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered  into  a settlement
agreement with Hyphenated Systems, LLC to resolve all claims. The settlement amount was recorded
in the fourth quarter of 2013 and was immaterial to the  consolidated  financial  statements  of the
Company.

Other 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,  2013 and 2012, no accruals have been
recorded  for such other potential contingencies.

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.

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.

105

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the  Company had bank guarantees of $171.2  million  and

$143.2 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
which  they could be indemnified; and  obtain  directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable
terms, which the Company currently  has  in place.

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
Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and adopted  the  Bruker Corporation  2010
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 (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 the BEST  Board  of  Directors  to  grant incentive stock  options,
non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. 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 any awards.  Awards granted pursuant to the BEST Plan vest over a  period of
three to five years.

The BEST Plan had 520,000 and 800,000 options  outstanding as  of  December  31, 2013 and

December 31, 2012, respectively. The activity in the BEST Plan for the year ended December 31, 2013

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.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012  and  continuing  in 2013, the  Company commenced

productivity improvement initiatives in both its BSI and BEST  reporting segments  in an effort to better
optimize its operations. These restructuring  initiatives include the divestiture of certain non-core
businesses, outsourcing of various manufacturing  activities, transferring or ceasing  operations at certain
facilities and an overall right-sizing within the  Company based on the current business environments.

The Company recorded restructuring  charges  within the  years  ended December  31, 2013 and 2012

of $25.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively,  related to these initiatives. For  the year ended
December 31, 2013, restructuring charges consisted of $17.9 million for severance costs, $5.3 million for
exit related costs, such as professional  services and facility exit charges,  and $2.1  million of  inventory
provisions for excess inventory. Of the $25.3 million recorded during  the year  ended December 31,
2013, $23.0 million related to the BSI reporting  segment and $2.3 million related  to  the BEST
reporting segment. The Company recorded $18.2  million of the restructuring charges as a  component
of Other Charges, net, and $7.1 million  as a  component of Cost  of Revenue in  the condensed
consolidated statements of income and  comprehensive income.  Based  on the current status of these
restructuring initiatives, the Company expects  to  record additional charges  of approximately
$4-5 million during 2014 relating to these initiatives, consisting mainly of  severance costs.

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,  2013.
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, 2013 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, 2013, based on  the criteria  established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) 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, 2013.

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,  2013 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,
2013, based on criteria established in  Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992  framework) (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, 2013,  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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013 of Bruker Corporation and our report dated  February 27,  2014 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
