BRUKER CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              Description of Business

 

Bruker Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Bruker” or the “Company”), is a designer and manufacturer of high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable its customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular and cellular levels. Many of the Company’s products are used to detect, measure and visualize structural characteristics of chemical, biological and industrial material samples. The Company’s products address the rapidly evolving needs of a diverse array of customers in life science research, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, applied markets, cell biology, clinical research, microbiology, in-vitro diagnostics, nanotechnology and materials science research.

 

The Company has two reportable segments, Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI), which represents approximately 93% of the Company’s revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST), which represents the remainder of the Company’s revenues.  Within BSI, the Company is organized into three operating segments: the Bruker BioSpin Group, the Bruker CALID Group and the Bruker Nano Group. For financial reporting purposes, the Bruker BioSpin, Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano operating segments are aggregated into the BSI reportable segment because each has similar economic characteristics, production processes, service offerings, types and classes of customers, methods of distribution and regulatory environments.

 

Bruker BioSpin- The Bruker BioSpin Group manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on magnetic resonance technology. The majority of Bruker BioSpin’s revenues are generated by academic and government research customers. Other customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and nonprofit laboratories, as well as chemical, food and beverage, clinical and polymer companies.

 

Bruker CALID (Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science, In-Vitro Diagnostics, Detection)- The Bruker CALID Group designs, manufactures and distributes life science mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry systems, infrared spectroscopy and radiological/nuclear detectors for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) detection in emergency response, homeland security and defense applications, and analytical and process analysis instruments and solutions based on infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies. Customers of the Bruker CALID Group include pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics companies, contract research organizations, academic institutions, medical schools, nonprofit or for-profit forensics, agriculture, food and beverage safety, environmental and clinical microbiology laboratories, hospitals and government departments and agencies.

 

Bruker Nano- The Bruker Nano Group designs, manufactures and distributes advanced X-ray instruments, atomic force microscopy instrumentation, advanced fluorescence optical microscopy instruments, analytical tools for electron microscopes and X-ray metrology, defect-detection equipment for semiconductor process control, handheld, portable and mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometry instruments and spark optical emission spectroscopy systems.  Customers of the Bruker Nano Group include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, governmental customers, nanotechnology companies, semiconductor companies, raw material manufacturers, industrial companies and other businesses involved in materials analysis.

 

The Company’s BEST reportable 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, as well as ceramic high temperature superconductors primarily for energy grid and magnet applications.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

Table of Contents

 

America (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial information presented herein does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full year. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, the deferred financing costs related to the Company’s senior note obligations were reclassified as of December 31, 2015 to conform to the current year presentation and had no effect on previously reported net income or cash flows. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s senior note obligations.

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, have not changed.

 

2.              Stock-Based Compensation

 

In May 2010, the Bruker Corporation 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The 2010 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2010 Plan allowed a committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. The Compensation Committee had the authority to determine which employees would receive the awards, the amount of the awards and other terms and conditions of any awards. Awards granted under the 2010 Plan typically were made subject to a vesting period of three to five years.

 

In May 2016, the Bruker Corporation 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders.  With the approval of the 2016 Plan, no further grants will be made under the 2010 Plan.   The 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and permits the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, as well as cash-based awards.  The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine which employees will receive awards, the amount of any awards, and other terms and conditions of such awards. Awards granted under the 2016 Plan typically vest over a period of three to four years.

 

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (in millions):

Stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock are periodically awarded to executive officers and other employees of the Company 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 regarding volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates are required for the Black-Scholes model and are presented in the table below:

(a)         In addition to the options that are vested at June 30, 2016, the Company expects a portion of the unvested options to vest in the future. Options expected to vest in the future are determined by applying an estimated forfeiture rate to the options that are unvested as of June 30, 2016.

(b)         The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the positive difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock price of $22.74 on June 30, 2016, or the date of exercises, as appropriate, and the exercise price of the underlying stock options.

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted was $9.77 and $8.61 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $9.7 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million associated with outstanding restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock plans over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.56 years. The Company also expects to recognize additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million associated with outstanding restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan over the weighted average remaining service period of 3.92 years.

 

3.              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 and net income per common share attributable to Bruker Corporation shareholders (in millions, except per share amounts):

Stock options to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares and 0.9 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.   Approximately 1.8 million shares and 1.4 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

4.              Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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:

 

7



Table of Contents

 

·      Level 1:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·      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.

 

·      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 following tables set forth the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and presents them within the fair value hierarchy using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions):

Table of Contents

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of short-term investments, restricted cash, derivative instruments consisting of 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 short-term investments, 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 fair value of the long-term fixed interest rate debt, which has been classified as Level 2, was $264.1 million and $252.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, based on market and observable sources with similar maturity dates.

 

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 and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities which originated during the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

 

As part of certain historical acquisitions, 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 and gross margin targets in certain years as specified in the purchase and sale agreements. The Company initially values contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation which models future revenue and costs of goods sold projections and discounts the average results to present value. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, additional contingent consideration of $7.7 million was recognized in earnings related to a recent acquisition within the Bruker Nano Group based upon an increase in forecasted revenue levels for the acquired business for the remainder of 2016 and was recorded within other charges, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

The following table sets forth the changes in contingent consideration liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (in millions):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in earnings was ($3.1) million and ($3.0) million, respectively, and was recorded within other charges, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

The Company enters into time deposits with varying maturity dates ranging from one to twelve months, as well as call deposits for which the Company has the ability to redeem the invested amounts over a period of 31 to 95 days.  The Company has classified these investments within cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the call and maturity dates.  As of June 30, 2016 there are no cash equivalents outstanding and $187.9 million of short-term investments.

 

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses) excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no unrealized gains (losses) recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its short-term investments to determine if there have been any events that could create an impairment.  None were noted for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

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 $3.7 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $8.5 million and $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement, referred to as the 2015 Credit Agreement, and terminated the prior credit agreement.  The 2015 Credit Agreement provides a maximum commitment on the Company’s revolving credit line of $500.0 million and a maturity date of October 2020.  Borrowings under the revolving credit line of the 2015 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%, plus margins ranging from 0.00% to 0.30% or (b) LIBOR, plus margins ranging from 0.90% to 1.30%.  There is also a facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20%.

 

Borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement are secured by guarantees from certain material subsidiaries, as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement. The 2015 Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios related to maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage. Specifically, the Company’s leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.5 and the Company’s interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 2.5.  In addition to the financial ratios, the 2015 Credit Agreement contains negative covenants, including among others, restrictions on liens, indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, asset sales, dividends and transactions with affiliates.  Failure to comply with any of these restrictions or covenants may result in an event of default on the 2015 Credit Agreement, which could permit acceleration of the debt and require the Company to prepay the debt before its scheduled due date.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the 2015 Credit Agreement. The Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement) was 1.3 and interest coverage ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement) was 15.2.

 

The following is a summary of the maximum commitments and the net amounts available to the Company under the 2015 Credit Agreement and other lines of credit with various financial institutions located primarily in Germany and Switzerland that are unsecured and typically due upon demand with interest payable monthly, at June 30, 2016 (in millions):

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:

 

·                  $20.0 million 3.16% Series 2012A Senior Notes, Tranche A, due January 18, 2017;

 

·                  $15.0 million 3.74% Series 2012A Senior Notes, Tranche B, due January 18, 2019;

 

·                  $105.0 million 4.31% Series 2012A Senior Notes, Tranche C, due January 18, 2022; and

 

·                  $100.0 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

 

11



Table of Contents

 

on January 18 and July 18 of each year. 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 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

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 June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Note Purchase Agreement.  The Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) was 1.3 and interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) was 15.2.

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as an other asset. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on a retrospective basis for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $0.9 million in debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt liability under the Note Purchase Agreement.  The $0.9 million in debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2016 will be amortized over the remaining term of the Note Purchase Agreement. The retrospective adoption resulted in $0.9 million of debt issuance costs being reclassified from other current assets and other non-current assets to a reduction of the carrying value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2015. The Company also adopted ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, and elected not to reclassify the debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements for the 2015 Credit Agreement.

 

8.              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 2015 Credit Agreement, which totaled $102.0 million at June 30, 2016. 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 impact 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 exchange contracts in order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in foreign currency have

Table of Contents

 

on its monetary transactions. Under these arrangements, the Company typically agrees 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 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company had the following notional amounts outstanding under foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (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 by separately valuing the “embedded derivative” component of these contracts. Contracts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting parties amounted to $81.2 million for the delivery of products and $3.4 million for the purchase of products at June 30, 2016 and $59.0 million for the delivery of products and $4.1 million for the purchase of products at December 31, 2015. The changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded as foreign currency exchange gains/losses within interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed 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 superconductors, the Company enters into commodity hedge contracts. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The changes in the fair value of these commodity contracts are recorded within interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

The fair value of the derivative instruments described above is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods as follows (in millions):

9.              Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In addition, the Company accounts for uncertain tax positions that have reached a minimum recognition threshold.

 

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 16.9% and 9.1%, respectively.  The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $7.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 16.9% and 19.1%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily caused by changes in the expected mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily caused by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the closure of certain tax audits and changes in the expected mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate may change over time as the amount or mix of income and taxes changes among the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, of approximately $10.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively, of which $10.4 million and $13.0 million, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $1.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was included in other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million and $0.3 million were recorded in the provision for income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.3 million and $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company files tax returns in the United States, which include federal, state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company considers Germany, the United States and Switzerland to be its significant tax jurisdictions. The tax years 2009 to 2015 are open tax years in Germany and Switzerland. Tax years 2011 to 2015 remain open for examination in the United States.

 

The Company asserts that its foreign earnings, with the exception of its foreign earnings that have been previously taxed by the U.S., are indefinitely reinvested.  The Company regularly evaluates its assertion that its foreign earnings are indefinitely reinvested.  If the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are needed to fund operations in the U.S., or the Company otherwise elects to repatriate the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries 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 tax credits, which could result in a higher effective tax rate in the future.

 

10.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal

 

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, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, accruals recorded for such potential contingencies were immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company understands that the Korea Fair Trade Commission (“KFTC”) is conducting an investigation into improper bidding by Bruker Korea Co., Ltd. and several other companies in connection with bids for sales of X-ray systems in 2010 and 2012. Three of the bids under investigation involved Bruker Korea. The Company is cooperating fully with the KFTC regarding this matter. The potential range of penalties which may arise as a result of any proceedings which may be brought by the KFTC or other Korean government agencies against the Company or its subsidiaries operating in Korea involving this matter could include the imposition of a civil and/or criminal fine and a suspension of all or a portion of the Company’s operations from bidding for or conducting sales to Korean governmental agencies for a period of time.  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 or results of operations.  Sales to customers in Korea were approximately 2% of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

 

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had bank guarantees of $130.3 million and $137.7 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.

 

11.       Shareholders’ Equity

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

In November 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the Company’s previously announced Anti-Dilutive Repurchase Program until January 1, 2017 and approved an additional share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) under which repurchases of common stock up to $225.0 million may occur from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. A total of 1,200,000 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $34.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 4,577,858 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $117.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Since inception of the Repurchase Program through June 30, 2016, 7,414,900 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $182.6 million. The remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program is $42.4 million.  Any future repurchases will be funded from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

The repurchased shares are reflected within Treasury stock in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Cash Dividends on Shares of Common Stock

 

On February 22, 2016, the Company announced the establishment of a dividend policy and the declaration by its Board of Directors of an initial quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.04 per share of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Dividends were paid on March 24, 2016 to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2016 and on June 24, 2016 to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2016, in each case for an aggregate cost of $6.5 million.  Under the dividend policy, the Company will target a cash dividend to the Company’s shareholders in the amount of $0.16 per share per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments. Subsequent dividend declarations and the establishment of record and payment dates for such future dividend payments, if any, are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The dividend policy may be suspended or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.

In recent years, the Company has been undertaking productivity improvement initiatives in an effort to better optimize its operations.  These restructuring initiatives have included 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 environment.

 

The Company recorded total restructuring charges during the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $3.7 million related to these initiatives, all within the BSI Segment.  These charges consisted of $0.9 million of inventory provisions for excess inventory, $1.0 million of severance costs and $1.8 million of exit related costs, such as professional service and facility exit charges.  During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1.9 million as a component of cost of revenue and $1.8 million as a component of other charges, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  The Company recorded total restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $7.5 million related to these initiatives, all within the BSI Segment.  These charges consisted of $1.1 million of inventory provisions for excess inventory, $3.3 million of severance costs and $3.1 million of exit related costs, such as professional service and facility exit charges.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $3.9 million as a component of cost of revenue and $3.6 million as a component of other charges, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

The Company commenced a restructuring initiative in 2015 within the Bruker BioSpin Group, which was developed as a result of a revenue decline that occurred during the second half of 2014 and continued during the first half of 2015.  This initiative was intended to improve Bruker BioSpin Group’s operating results.  Restructuring actions resulted in a reduction of employee headcount within the Bruker BioSpin Group of approximately 9%. Included in the total restructuring charges discussed above are restructuring expenses related to this initiative recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $3.3 million of severance and exit costs, of which $2.2 million was recorded as a component of cost of revenue and $1.1 million as a component of other charges, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The restructuring initiative also included the closure and consolidation of a Bruker BioSpin Group manufacturing facility.  From inception of the restructuring initiative in the second quarter of 2015, cumulative restructuring expenses and other one-time charges recorded have been $19.5 million, consisting of $4.2 million of inventory write-downs and asset impairments and $15.3 million of severance and exit costs. As of June 30, 2016, expenses incurred under the restructuring initiative were substantially complete.

16.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The new standard simplifies accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences and the classification of the tax impact on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is evaluating the provisions of this statement, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  The new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. The new standard supersedes present U.S. GAAP guidance on leases and requires substantially all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as well as additional disclosures. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is evaluating the provisions of this statement, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption

of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The new guidance eliminates the measurement of inventory at market value, and inventory will now be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. No other changes were made to the current guidance on inventory measurement. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this statement, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC Topic 605. The new guidance was the result of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop common revenue standards for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the new guidance is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB elected to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted as of the previous effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new guidance may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

ITEM 2.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which express that we “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” or “should,” as well as other statements which are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events or results may differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference are discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Although our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we believe describing revenue and expenses, excluding the effects of foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures, as well as certain other charges, net, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Specifically, management believes that free cash flow and organic revenue, both non-GAAP financial measures, as well as non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin, 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 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 as it adjusts 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.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures and are intended to supplement our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. We regularly use 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 such non-GAAP measures.  The calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies and, therefore, may not be comparable among companies.

OVERVIEW

 

We are organized into four operating segments, as further described in Note 1 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015: the Bruker BioSpin Group, the Bruker CALID Group, the Bruker Nano Group, and the Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST) Segment.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our revenue decreased by $24.3 million, or 6.1%, to $371.7 million, compared to $396.0 million for the comparable period in 2015. The impact of changes in foreign currency and a recent acquisition in our Bruker Nano Group caused a net increase of $12.0 million, or 3.1%.  Excluding these items, organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, decreased 9.2%, primarily as a result of delays in European academic funding, weaker industrial markets and lower MALDI Biotyper sales in China and the U.S.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our revenue decreased by $2.4 million, or 0.3%, to $747.1 million, compared to $749.5 million for the comparable period in 2015. The impact of changes in foreign currency and a recent acquisition in our Bruker Nano Group caused a net increase of $14.1 million, or 1.9%.  Excluding these items, organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, decreased 2.2%. The decrease was primarily caused by continued weak demand within our Bruker Nano Group industrial market segments, delays in European academic funding and lower MALDI Biotyper sales in China and the U.S.  These decreases were partially offset by increased revenues within the Bruker BioSpin Group due to higher volume, increased pricing and the recognition of revenues from the sale of the first shielded ultra-high field gigahertz nuclear magnetic resonance system as well as increased sales of Raman, near infrared and remote sensing products within the Bruker CALID Group

 

Our gross profit margin increased to 45.8% from 42.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and to 45.1% from 44.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increases in gross margin percentages were primarily caused by operating cost improvements as a result of recent restructuring and outsourcing actions, the impact of pricing increases and a favorable product mix within the Bruker BioSpin Group and the impact of a recent acquisition within the Bruker Nano Group.  The beneficial impact of these items was offset in part by weakness in Bruker Nano Group industrial market segments, delays in European academic funding within our Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano Groups, and a decline in the BEST Segment resulting from the completion of certain high margin orders in the comparable prior period.

 

Operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by approximately $11.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in contingent consideration related to a recent acquisition in our Bruker Nano Group based upon an increase in forecasted revenue levels for the acquired business for the remainder of 2016 offset in part by operational improvements and restructuring actions. Operating expenses  during the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior year, caused primarily by our operational improvements and restructuring actions offset by the increase in contingent consideration.

 

Earnings per share decreased $0.04 to $0.09 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of an increase in contingent consideration noted above partially offset by the favorable impact of our share repurchase program.  Earnings per share increased $0.06 to $0.23 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015.  The increase in earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily the result of increased gross profit margins, operational improvements and restructuring actions, the impact of a recent acquisition within our Bruker Nano Group and the impact of our share repurchase program.

 

Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was a source of cash of $4.1 million.  We believe free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, is a useful measure to evaluate our business as it indicates the amount of cash generated after additions to property, plant, and equipment that is available for, among other things, strategic acquisitions, investments in our business, and repayment of debt. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, our free cash flow was negative $13.1 million, calculated as follows:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

$

4.1

 

Less: Purchases of property, plant and equipment

Free Cash Flow

(13.1

)

 

Our negative free cash flow was primarily caused by an increase in inventory purchases needed for production in the second half of 2016, the timing of customer advances received and installation and acceptance of the related systems, and tax payments, including withholding tax payments made in the first quarter of 2016 related to the Company’s 2015 European cash repatriation. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable resulting from reduced revenue levels and higher than normal collections in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In November 2015, our Board of Directors suspended the previously announced Anti-Dilutive Repurchase Program until January 1, 2017 and approved an additional share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) under which repurchases of common stock up to $225.0 million may occur from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. A total of 1,200,000 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $34.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, 4,577,858 shares were repurchased as an aggregate cost of $117.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 7,414,900 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $182.6 million from the inception of the Repurchase Program through June 30, 2016. The remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program is $42.4 million.  Any additional repurchases will be funded from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

On February 22, 2016, we announced the establishment of a dividend policy and the declaration by our Board of Directors of an initial quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.04 per share of our issued and outstanding common stock. An initial dividend was paid on March 24, 2016 to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2016 for a total cost of $6.5 million and a subsequent dividend was paid on June 24, 2016 to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2016 for a total cost of $6.5 million. Under the dividend policy, we will target a cash dividend to our shareholders in the amount of $0.16 per share per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments. Subsequent dividend declarations and the establishment of record and payment dates for such future dividend payments, if any, are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of our shareholders. The dividend policy may be suspended or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.

 

As previously disclosed, we have taken restructuring measures as a result of the revenue decline that occurred during the second half of 2014 and continued during the first half of 2015 within Bruker BioSpin Group.  This included a restructuring initiative that commenced during 2015 that reduced employee headcount by approximately 9% within our Bruker BioSpin Group.  Income from operations included restructuring costs of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to this initiative.  Total restructuring and other one-time charges, incurred in 2015 and continuing into 2016, were $19.5 million of which $15.3 million related to employee separation and facility exit costs and $4.2 million related to estimated inventory write-downs and asset impairments.  As of June 30, 2016, expenses incurred under this restructuring initiative were substantially complete and we expect to generate approximately $10 million in annualized savings as a result of this initiative.

 

As a result of demand weakness we expect for the remainder of 2016, particularly in Europe, we intend to accelerate certain planned operational restructuring initiatives, as well as take business right-sizing measures.  These actions are expected to include further facility consolidation and production outsourcing, product line consolidation, and other cost reduction initiatives.  We expect to finalize these plans in the third quarter of 2016.   While we expect most of the savings from these actions to increase our profitability, some will be reinvested into new sales, marketing, and product management capabilities and our strategic growth initiatives.

 

We can experience quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our operating results as a result of various factors, some of which are outside our control, such as:

 

·                  the timing of governmental stimulus programs and academic research budgets;

·                  the time it takes between the date customer orders and deposits are received, systems are shipped and accepted by our customers and full payment is received;

·                  the time it takes for customers to construct or prepare their facilities for our products; and

·                  the time required to obtain governmental licenses.

 

These factors have in the past affected the amount and timing of revenue recognized on sales of our products and receipt of related payments and will continue to do so in the future. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular quarter may not necessarily be an indication of any future quarter’s operating performance.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the 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. We base our estimates and

 

21



Table of Contents

 

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 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 and estimates to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and those that require the most estimation and subjective judgment:

 

·                  Revenue recognition;

·                  Income taxes;

·                  Inventories;

·                  Goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and

·                  Employee benefit plan assumptions.

 

For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our revenue decreased $24.3 million, or 6.1%, to $371.7 million, compared to $396.0 million for the comparable period in 2015. Included in revenue was an increase of approximately $12.0 million attributable to a recent acquisition within the Bruker Nano Group and no impact from foreign currency translation. Excluding the effects of our recent acquisition, our organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, decreased by $36.3 million, or 9.2%.

 

BSI Segment revenue decreased by $20.5 million, or 5.6%, to $345.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $366.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. BEST Segment revenue decreased by $2.3 million, or 7.5%, to $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $30.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Please see the Segment Results section later in this discussion for additional information regarding our revenue.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $170.1 million, or 45.8% of revenue, compared to $169.4 million, or 42.8% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Included in gross profit were various charges for

 

23



Table of Contents

 

amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs totaling $6.8 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluding these charges, our non-GAAP gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 47.6% and 45.1%, respectively. The increase in our gross profit margins was caused primarily by operating cost improvements as a result of recent restructuring and outsourcing actions, the impact of pricing increases within the Bruker BioSpin Group and the impact of a recent acquisition within the Bruker Nano Group.  The favorable effect of these items was partially offset by weakness in Bruker Nano Group industrial market segments, delays in European academic funding within our Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano Group, and a decline in the BEST Segment resulting from the completion of certain high margin orders in the comparable prior period.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased to $100.9 million, or 27.1% of total revenue, from $98.5 million, or 24.9% of total revenue, for the comparable period in 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to a recent acquisition in the Bruker Nano Group, which was partially offset by the impact of recent operational improvement and restructuring actions.  The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily caused by a decrease in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year comparable period.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased to $36.8 million, or 9.9% of total revenue, from $37.5 million, or 9.5% of total revenue, for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease in dollar value in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to the timing of certain research and development initiatives.

 

Other Charges, Net

 

Other Charges, net of $12.0 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were all related to the BSI Segment and consisted primarily of $7.9 million of acquisition-related charges, related primarily to additional contingent consideration recognized for a recent acquisition in the Bruker Nano Group based upon an increase in forecasted revenue levels of the acquired business for the remainder of 2016, $1.8 million of restructuring costs related to closing facilities and implementing outsourcing and other restructuring initiatives, and $1.7 million of costs associated with our global information technology (IT) transformation initiative. The IT transformation initiative is a multi-year project aimed at updating and integrating our global enterprise resource planning and human resource information systems.

 

Other Charges, net of $1.8 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was related almost entirely to the BSI Segment. The charges consisted of $1.0 million of restructuring costs related to closing facilities and implementing outsourcing and other restructuring initiatives, $1.8 million of long-lived asset impairments within the Magnetic Resonance division, ($2.9) million of acquisition-related charges (benefits) primarily caused by the reversal of certain contingent consideration liabilities and $1.9 million of costs associated with our global IT transformation initiative.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $20.4 million, resulting in an operating margin of 5.5%, compared to operating income of $31.6 million, resulting in an operating margin of 8.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in operating income was caused primarily by lower revenue and additional contingent consideration recognized related to a recent acquisition within the Bruker Nano Group during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as noted above.

 

The Company commenced a restructuring initiative in 2015 within the Bruker BioSpin Group, which was developed as a result of a revenue decline that occurred during the second half of 2014 and continued during the first half of 2015 and was intended to improve the Bruker BioSpin Group’s operating results.  Restructuring actions resulted in a reduction of employee headcount by approximately 9% and included the closure and consolidation of a Bruker BioSpin Group manufacturing facility. Operating income included restructuring costs of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 related to this initiative.

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

 

Interest and other income (expense), net during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was an expense of $2.6 million

 

24



Table of Contents

 

compared to an expense of $6.2 million for the comparable period of 2015.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the major components within interest and other income (expense), net were net interest expense of $2.9 million and realized and unrealized gains on foreign currency denominated transactions of $0.7 million. The realized and unrealized gains on foreign currency denominated transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily caused by the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro and other currencies.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the components within interest and other income (expense), net were net interest expense of $3.1 million and realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency denominated transactions of $2.9 million.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The 2016 and 2015 effective tax rates were estimated using projected annual pre-tax income or loss on a jurisdictional basis. Expected tax benefits, including tax credits and incentives, the impact of changes to valuation allowances, and the effect of jurisdictional differences in statutory tax rates, were also considered in the calculation.

 

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 16.9% and 9.1%, respectively.  The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily caused by changes in the expected mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

 

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

 

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the net income recorded by our majority-owned subsidiaries.

 

Net Income Attributable to Bruker Corporation

 

Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $14.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $21.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease was primarily caused by weaker revenue and the additional contingent consideration recognized related to a recent acquisition in the Bruker Nano Group, partially offset by operating profit improvements as noted above and lower interest and other expenses, net.

 

Segment Results

 

For financial reporting purposes, we aggregate the Bruker BioSpin, Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano operating segments into the Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) reportable segment, which represented approximately 93% of the Company’s revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2016. This aggregation reflects these operating segments’ similar economic characteristics, production processes, service offerings, types and classes of customers, methods of distribution and regulatory environments. Our BEST Segment is our other reportable segment and represents the remainder of our revenues.

BSI Segment Revenues

 

BSI Segment revenue decreased by $20.5 million, or 5.6%, to $345.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $366.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Included in revenue was a decrease of approximately $0.5 million from the impact of foreign currency and an increase of approximately $12.0 million attributable to a recent acquisition in our Bruker Nano Group. Excluding the effects of foreign currency and our recent acquisition, organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, decreased by $32.0 million, or 8.7%, with revenue decline in Europe and Japan driving the majority of the decrease.

 

The Bruker BioSpin Group revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the timing and recognition of revenue from certain ultra-high field orders which occurred in 2015.

 

The Bruker CALID Group revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to delays in European academic funding and lower sales of our MALDI Biotyper in China and the U.S.

 

Excluding the effects of the recent acquisition, the Bruker Nano Group experienced a decrease in revenue primarily caused by continued weaker demand within industrial markets and European academic funding delays.

 

System revenue and aftermarket revenue as a percentage of total BSI Segment revenue were as follows (dollars in millions):
