Section 2 - Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 13, 2025, during its scheduled presentation at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Bruker Corporation (the “Company”) stated that its current preliminary expectation for revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 is between $970 million and $980 million and that fourth quarter 2024 BSI bookings were solid. The Company also provided preliminary outlook for 2025 for constant exchange rate revenue growth of upper mid-single digits revenue assuming low-single digits market growth. A copy of the Company's presentation is available in the "Investors" section of its website at ir.bruker.com.
Because the Company’s financial statements for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 have not yet been finalized or audited, this preliminary statement regarding the Company’s current expectations with respect to its fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 revenue are subject to change, and the Company’s actual revenues for these periods may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates.
