Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.45, compared with $0.60 a year earlier.

The company lowered its full-year 2025 organic revenue growth and non-GAAP EPS guidance, citing academic market and tariff dynamics, which points to a weaker profit outlook for shareholders.
Bruker Corporation said in an 8-K that preliminary first-quarter 2025 revenue for the period ended March 31, 2025 is expected to be $795 million to $800 million, which the company says compares favorably with its earlier outlook and consensus. The figures are unaudited, have not been reviewed by the independent auditor, and could change during quarter-end closing, so the company warns that undue reliance should not be placed on them. Final first-quarter results are scheduled for May 7, 2025.
