The earnings call presented a mixed picture. While Bruker showed strong revenue growth driven by strategic acquisitions and segments like semiconductor metrology, the company faced significant challenges in the biopharma and China markets, leading to reduced fiscal year guidance and impacting margins and earnings. These factors resulted in a more cautious outlook for the near term.
Company Guidance
In the third quarter of 2024, Bruker Corporation achieved a constant exchange rate (CER) revenue growth of 15.7% year-over-year, driven by strategic acquisitions and organic growth of 3.1%. The Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) segment reported an organic revenue growth of 3.8%. The company's reported revenues reached $864.4 million, marking a 16.4% increase from the previous year, with a currency tailwind contributing 0.7%. However, the non-GAAP operating margin decreased by 510 basis points to 14.9%, primarily due to recent strategic acquisitions, which initially diluted margins. The company's non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.60, a 19% decline from $0.74 in the third quarter of 2023. Despite these challenges, Bruker anticipates double-digit CER revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, with expectations for low single-digit organic revenue growth compared to a strong fourth quarter in 2023. The guidance for fiscal year 2024 has been adjusted, now projecting a CER revenue growth of approximately 13% and organic growth of 3% to 4%, with ongoing efforts to improve margins and integrate recent acquisitions to drive future growth.
