CEO Commentary

Bruker continues to deliver excellent growth, with three consecutive quarters of double-digit organic revenue growth year-to-date in 2023. We anticipate high-single digit organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2023, which puts us on track for three consecutive years of double-digit organic revenue growth in 2021-2023. This year, Bruker has demonstrated great resiliency in difficult market conditions, with industry-leading organic revenue growth of 13.9%, and non-GAAP EPS growth of 17.5% in the first nine months of 2023. Given our strong year-to-date financial results, solid backlog, and positive outlook for the fourth quarter, we are raising our organic revenue growth guidance for FY 2023 again, by 150 bps at the midpoint.” - Frank H. Laukien, Bruker’s President and CEO
