Insights

The reported Q4 and full-year financial results from Bruker Corporation reflect a robust performance, with revenues and organic growth figures surpassing the previous year's metrics. The 20.6% year-over-year increase in Q4 revenues and the 17.1% increase for the full year are indicative of strong demand for the company's products and services. However, the reported decrease in non-GAAP EPS for Q4 by 5.4% year-over-year, despite the gain from the PhenomeX acquisition, suggests margin pressures or increased expenses that investors should be aware of.

It is also noteworthy that the non-GAAP operating margin has declined, both for Q4 and the full year, which could be a point of concern for profitability analysis. The projected revenue growth for FY 2024, including organic growth and contributions from M&A, coupled with the anticipated non-GAAP EPS growth, presents a positive outlook, albeit at a slower pace than the previous year. Investors should consider these projections alongside industry trends and potential macroeconomic factors that could affect performance.

Bruker's emphasis on R&D investment and its positioning in the post-genomic era highlight the company's strategic focus on innovation and growth within the life sciences sector. The double-digit organic revenue growth across all four groups is a testament to the company's diversified portfolio and its ability to capitalize on secular growth trends. The mention of a 'bargain purchase gain' from the PhenomeX acquisition indicates a strategic move that may have added significant value to Bruker's assets relative to the cost, which could be a positive signal for the company's M&A strategy.

Looking forward, the forecasted 5% to 7% organic revenue growth for FY 2024 suggests that Bruker anticipates continued solid demand for its offerings. The planned revenue growth at constant exchange rates (CER) also provides insight into the company's expectations for performance without the influence of currency fluctuations, which is a critical factor for multinational corporations like Bruker.

The financial results indicate that Bruker is experiencing growth in a competitive market, which can be partially attributed to macroeconomic factors such as foreign currency translation effects that have provided a tailwind to reported revenues. The company's ability to achieve growth in various market conditions is a positive sign of its economic resilience. However, the decrease in non-GAAP operating margin and return on invested capital (ROIC) could point to rising costs or inefficiencies that may need to be addressed to maintain profitability.

Moreover, the guidance for FY 2024, including the anticipated foreign currency translation tailwind, suggests that Bruker is factoring in potential economic conditions that could impact its financials. The use of non-GAAP financial measures, such as ROIC, provides additional context for evaluating the company's financial health and operational efficiency beyond standard GAAP metrics.

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and for the full year ended December 31, 2023.

Bruker’s President and CEO Frank Laukien commented: “Bruker’s transformation into a fast-growth company is on track after three consecutive years of double-digit organic revenue growth. Remarkably, in 2023 our industry-leading 14.5% organic revenue growth included double-digit growth from each of our four groups. For the full year 2023, we also delivered 10.3% non-GAAP EPS growth, while investing significantly in R&D, capacity and productivity. This shows the resiliency of our innovation model and exemplifies our focus on disciplined entrepreneurialism.”

Dr. Laukien continued: “Demand for our innovative and differentiated products and solutions has remained solid, as Bruker emerges as a leader in the post-genomic era – a powerful new secular growth trend. For fiscal year 2024, we again expect to achieve well above-market organic revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP gross profit margin; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating profit; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP SG&A expense; non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net, non-GAAP profit before tax; non-GAAP tax rate; non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other non-operational costs.

We also may refer to organic revenue growth or decline, free cash flow or use, return on invested capital and non-GAAP earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) which are also non-GAAP financial measures. We define the term organic revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency translation rates and the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, and believe it is a useful measure to evaluate our continuing business. [We define the term M&A revenue as GAAP revenue from M&A activities [excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency translation rates], and believe it is a useful measure to evaluate the effect of acquisitions on our operations.] We define the term constant-exchange rate (CER) currency revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency translation rates. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business because it indicates the amount of cash generated after additions to property, plant, and equipment that is available for, among other things, acquisitions, investments in our business, repayment of debt and return of capital to shareholders. We define return on invested capital (ROIC) as non-GAAP operating profit after income tax divided by average total capital, which we define as debt plus equity minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe ROIC is an important measure of how effectively the Company invests its capital. We define non-GAAP EBITDA as non-GAAP net income adjusting out the effects of interest expense, net, non-GAAP income tax expense and GAAP depreciation and amortization, with purchased intangible amortization already adjusted out of non-GAAP net income. We believe non-GAAP EBITDA is an important means of comparing profitability of comparable companies.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance, however, we urge investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in the accompanying tables, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Specifically, management believes that the non-GAAP measures mentioned above provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry, as well as by our management, in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management believes this provides a more comparable measure of our continuing business by adjusting for certain items that are not reflective of the underlying performance of our business. These measures may also be useful to investors in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business and forecasting future results. We regularly use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions. We also measure our employees and compensate them, in part, based on certain non-GAAP measures and use this information for our planning and forecasting activities.

Additional information relating to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables accompanying this press release following our GAAP financial statements.

With respect to our outlook for 2024 non-GAAP organic revenue, non-GAAP M&A revenue, non-GAAP constant exchange rate (CER) revenue, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP tax rate, we are not providing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or corresponding reconciliations to such GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty certain items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Our expected non-GAAP organic revenue, operating margin, tax rate and EPS ranges exclude primarily the future impact of restructuring actions, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses and purchase accounting fair value adjustments. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors outside our management’s control and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our future period operating margins, EPS and tax rate calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements contained in this press release which do not describe historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our fiscal year 2024 financial outlook, our outlook for reported revenue growth, organic revenue growth, M&A revenue growth contributions, constant exchange rate (CER) currency revenue growth, foreign currency translation revenue impact, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP tax rate; management’s expectations for the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, expectations regarding the benefits of our acquisition of PhenomeX Inc.; and for future financial and operational performance and business outlook; future economic conditions; the duration and impact of supply chain and geopolitical challenges; strategic investments; and statements found under the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release.

These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as may be updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.
