BRUKER CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Description of Business

Bruker Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (Bruker or the Company), develops, manufactures and distributes 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 represented approximately 90.5% and 90.4% of the Company’s revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 89.4% and 89.9% of the Company’s revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively; and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST), which represented 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 Group, Bruker CALID Group and Bruker Nano Group 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 designs, manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on magnetic resonance technology. The majority of the Bruker BioSpin Group’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 other industrial 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 solutions, analytical and process analysis instruments and solutions based on infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies and radiological/nuclear detectors for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) detection. Customers of the Bruker CALID Group include: academic institutions and medical schools; pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics companies; contract research organizations; nonprofit and for-profit forensics laboratories; agriculture, food and beverage safety laboratories; 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 academic institutions, governmental customers, nanotechnology companies, semiconductor companies, raw material manufacturers, industrial companies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical 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.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,

6

Table of Contents

all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement 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.

At September 30, 2019, 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, 2018, have not changed other than for lease accounting as detailed in Footnote 14.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Contract assets—Most of the Company’s long-term contracts are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Billing often occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Contract assets are generally classified as other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $38.1 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The increase in the contract asset balance during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 is primarily a result of foreign currency translation and contracts that have been recognized as revenue during the nine month period ending September 30, 2019 for which billing cannot contractually occur as of September 30, 2019.

Contract liabilities—The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when revenue recognition is expected. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the contract liabilities were $295.1 million and $288.5 million, respectively. The increase in the contract liability balance during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 is primarily a result of new performance obligations entered into during the nine month period. Approximately $165.0 million of the contract liability balance on December 31, 2018 was recognized as revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.

3.    Acquisitions

The impact of all acquisitions, individually and collectively, on revenues, net income and total assets was not material. Pro forma financial information reflecting all acquisitions has not been presented because the impact, individually and collectively, on revenues, net income and total assets is not material. Amounts allocated to goodwill that are attributable to expected synergies are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

2019

On April 2, 2019, the Company acquired Rave LLC (“Rave”), a privately held company, for a purchase price of $52.2 million with the potential for additional consideration of up to $5.0 million based on revenue and gross margin achievements in 2019 and 2020. Rave develops and manufactures nanomachining and laser photomask repair equipment. Rave was integrated into the Bruker Nano Group within the BSI reportable segment. The acquisition of Rave was accounted for under the acquisition method.

4.    Stock-Based Compensation

On May 14, 2010, the Bruker Corporation 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (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 (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.

On May 20, 2016, the Bruker Corporation 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (2016 Plan) was approved by the Company's stockholders. With the approval of the 2016 Plan, no further grants have been 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 one to four years.

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

5.    Earnings Per Share

Net income per common share attributable to Bruker Corporation shareholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Bruker Corporation, adjusted to reflect changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the weighted-average number of 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. There was no redemption value adjustment of the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and net income per common share attributable to Bruker shareholders (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

6.    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:

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in millions):

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of restricted cash, derivative instruments consisting of foreign exchange contracts, commodity contracts, derivatives embedded in certain purchase and sale contracts, accounts receivable, borrowings under a revolving credit agreement, accounts payable, contingent consideration, a hybrid instrument liability and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of the Company's cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, accounts receivable, borrowings under a revolving credit agreement and accounts payable approximate fair value because of 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 $216.1 million and $228.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, based on the outstanding amount at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, market prices and observable sources with similar maturity dates.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

As part of certain 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 certain acquired companies based on the applicable acquired company achieving annual revenue and gross margin targets in certain years as specified in the relevant purchase and sale agreement. The Company initially values the contingent considerations by using a Monte Carlo simulation or an income approach method. The Monte Carlo method models future revenue and costs of goods sold projections and discounts the average results to present value. The income approach method involves calculating the earnout payment based on the forecasted cash flows, adjusting the future earnout payment for the risk of reaching the projected financials, and then discounting the future payments to present value by the counterparty risk. The counterparty risk considers the risk of the buyer having the cash to make the earnout payments and is commensurate with a cost of debt over an appropriate term.

As part of the Mestrelab acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest holders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining 49% of Mestrelab for cash at a contractually defined redemption value. These rights (an embedded derivative) are exercisable beginning in 2022 and can be accelerated, at a discounted redemption value, upon certain events related to post combination services. As the option is tied to continued employment, the Company classified the hybrid instrument (noncontrolling interest with an embedded derivative) as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to the acquisition, the carrying value of the hybrid instrument is remeasured to fair value with changes recorded to stock-based compensation expense in proportion to the requisite service period vested. The hybrid instrument is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement, referred to as the 2015 Credit Agreement. The 2015 Credit Agreement provides a maximum commitment on the Company’s revolving credit line of $500 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 (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement). 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.

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 September 30, 2019 (dollars 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 consisted 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.

On January 18, 2017, the outstanding $20.0 million principal amount of Tranche A of the Senior Notes was repaid in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. On January 18, 2019, the outstanding $15.0 million principal amount of Tranche B of the Senior Notes was repaid in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

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 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 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

17

Table of Contents

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 a payment event of default, 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, to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, (ii) its interest coverage ratio, as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, to be less than 2.50 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters or (iii) priority debt at any time to exceed 25% of consolidated net worth, as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Note Purchase Agreement and the 2015 Credit Agreement.

11.  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. Typically, the most significant component of the Company’s interest rate risk relates to amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Agreement.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Management

The Company generates a substantial portion of its revenues and expenses in international markets which subjects its operations to the exposure 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 currency contracts in order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in currency translation have 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, with some agreements extending to longer periods. The Company had the following notional amounts outstanding under foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (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 separately valuing the “embedded derivative” component of these contracts. The contracts, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting parties, amounted to $81.3 million for the delivery of products and $7.6 million for the purchase of products at September 30, 2019 and $113.5 million for the delivery of products and $6.0 million for the purchase of products at December 31, 2018. The changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).

Commodity Price Risk Management

The Company has arrangements with certain customers under which it has a firm commitment to deliver copper based superconductor wire 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 commodities, the Company enters into commodity hedge contracts. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $5.1 million and $6.8 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 (loss).

12.  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 September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $21.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 26.1% and 32.4%, respectively. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $40.0 million and $41.4 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 23.6% and 28.7%, respectively. 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, of approximately $6.5 million which, 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Penalties and interest of $0.1 million were recorded in the provision for income taxes for unrecognized tax benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. There were no penalties or interest recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company files tax returns in the United States, which includes 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 majority of the Company’s earnings are derived in Germany and Switzerland. Accounting for the various federal and local taxing authorities, the statutory rates for 2019 are approximately 30.0% and 20.0% for Germany and Switzerland, respectively. The mix of earnings in those two jurisdictions resulted in an increase of 5.3% from the U.S. statutory rate of

20

Table of Contents

21.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company has not been a party to any material tax holiday agreements. The tax years 2013 to 2018 are open to examination in Germany and Switzerland. Tax years 2011 to 2018 remain open for examination in the United States.

13.  Commitments and Contingencies

In accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues anticipated costs of settlement, damages or other costs to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had bank guarantees of $127.5 million and $138.3 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.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered normal to its businesses may be pending from time to time against the Company. Third parties might allege that the Company or its collaborators are infringing their patent rights or that the Company is otherwise violating their intellectual property rights. Loss contingency provisions are recorded if the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated or a range of loss can be determined. These accruals represent management's best estimate of probable loss. Disclosure is also provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. The Company believes the outcome of pending proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

On September 25, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss AG (Zeiss), sued Luxendo GmbH (Luxendo), a subsidiary of Bruker Corporation, for infringement of a recently registered German utility model Gebrauchsmuster licensed to Zeiss pertaining to one specific Luxendo product category. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim.

On September 23, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Micromass UK Limited, a subsidiary of Waters Corporation, sued Bruker Corporation, as well as its affiliate, Bruker Daltonik GmbH, for infringement of a European patent pertaining to our timsTOF product line. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no material accruals have been recorded for potential contingencies.

Governmental Investigations

The Company is subject to regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the United States and other countries in which it operates. From time to time, the Company is the subject of governmental investigations often involving regulatory, marketing and other business practices. These governmental investigations may result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings, fines, penalties and administrative remedies which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.

In August 2018, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation into the public tender bidding activities of a number of life science instrument companies operating in Korea, including Bruker Korea Co., Ltd (Bruker Korea). The Company cooperated fully with the KFTC and on June 16, 2019, the KFTC announced its decision to impose a fine of approximately $20,000 on Bruker Korea and declined to impose any criminal liability against Bruker Korea in connection with this matter.

On October 19, 2017, the Company received a notice of investigation and subpoena to produce documents from the Division of Enforcement of the SEC. The subpoena sought information related to an employee terminated as part of a restructuring and certain matters involving the Company’s policies and accounting practices related to revenue recognition and restructuring activities, as well

21

Table of Contents

as related financial reporting, disclosure and compliance matters, since January 1, 2013. The subpoena also sought information concerning, among other things, the Company’s previously identified material weakness in internal controls over the accounting for income taxes, related financial reporting matters and certain payments for non-employee travel expenses. On April 25, 2019, the Staff notified the Company that it had concluded its investigation and, based on the information received to date, does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company.

Additionally, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel, conducted an internal investigation into practices of certain business partners in China and into the conduct of former employees of the Bruker Optics division in China which raised questions of compliance with laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or compliance with the Company’s business policies and code of conduct. The Audit Committee has concluded its internal investigation.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no material accruals have been recorded for potential contingencies related to these matters.

14.  Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The new standard, effective as of January 1, 2019, supersedes present U.S. GAAP guidance on leases and requires all leases with terms longer than 12 months to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities, as well as provide additional disclosures. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease and will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs.

Under ASU No. 2016-02, companies are required to transition to the new standard in the period of adoption at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements (January 1, 2017 for the Company). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 as an update to ASU No. 2016-02, which in part provided companies the option of transitioning to the new standard as of the adoption date and recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the alternative transition method under ASU No. 2018-11 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The Company's prior period financial statements were not adjusted due to adopting the new standard based on the alternative transition method. The Company elected the available package of practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to the effective date that allows it to not reassess: 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) the accounting treatment of initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component for all asset classes. The adoption of the new standard resulted in recording $75.5 million and $77.9 million of ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively, as of January 1, 2019 on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of the new standard did not significantly affect the Company’s results of operations.

Starting in the first quarter of 2019, the Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than 12 months are recognized on the balance sheet as ROU assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are directly expensed as incurred. Leases are classified as either operating or finance depending on the specific terms of the arrangement.

The Company’s leases mainly consist of facilities, office equipment, and vehicles. The majority of leases are classified as operating, with certain leases classified as finance leases based on the specific terms of the arrangement. The remaining lease term ranges from 2019 to 2029, with some leases including an option to extend the lease for varying periods of time or to terminate prior to the end of the lease term. Certain lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, and the exercise price of a Company option to purchase the underlying asset if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The Company’s leases typically do not contain residual value guarantees.

22

Table of Contents

At the commencement date, operating and finance lease liabilities, and their corresponding ROU assets, are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, therefore an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as prepayments, lease incentives received or initial direct costs paid.

Operating lease cost is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis, while finance lease cost is amortized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Variable lease cost not dependent on an index or rate is recognized when incurred.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan (the Repurchase Program) authorizing repurchases of common stock in the amount of up to $300.0 million from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. The Company repurchased a total of 1,022,469 shares at an aggregate cost of $42.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and a total of 3,323,104 shares at an aggregate cost of $142.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No repurchases occurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Any future repurchases will be funded from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The remaining authorization as of October 30, 2019 is $157.7 million and this Repurchase Program expires on May 13, 2021.

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. 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.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in other comprehensive income (loss), but excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity, net of tax. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is composed primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans. The following is a summary of comprehensive income (dollars in millions):

19.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. This ASU is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which provides new guidance intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. This ASU will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows upon adoption.

On October 1, 2019, the Company acquired the electron paramagnetic resonance (“EPR”) business of Magnettech GmbH (“Magnettech”), a privately held Company, for a purchase price of Euro 8.5 million (approximately $9.3 million). Magnettech is a leading provider of benchtop electron paramagnetic resonance systems and EPR accessories. Magnettech is located in Freiberg, Germany and will be integrated into the Bruker BioSpin Group within the BSI Segment. The purchase accounting for this acquisition will be finalized within the measurement period.

On October 31, 2019, Bruker Corporation signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the land and buildings at 15 Fortune Drive and 44 Manning Road, both in Billerica, MA, for a total purchase price of $12.3 million, from a trust controlled equally by Bruker’s President and CEO, Frank Laukien, and his half-brother, Dirk D. Laukien. The price for the properties is based on an independent third-party appraisal and arms-length negotiations with the sellers. The properties are located adjacent to the Company’s corporate headquarters at 40 Manning Road, Billerica, MA which is already a corporate asset. One of the properties, 15 Fortune Drive, is currently leased by the Company and the other property, 40 Manning Road, is leased to third parties.

These purchase are part of the Company’s plan to expand its corporate campus in Billerica for future business growth. Subject to satisfactory due diligence and customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2020.

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, 2018.

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 Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations, but are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to adverse changes in conditions in the global economy and volatility in the capital markets, the integration and assumption of liabilities of businesses we have acquired or may acquire in the future, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, payment of future dividends, future share repurchases, future acquisition activity, our ability to successfully implement our restructuring initiatives, our future cash flow, changing technologies, product development and market acceptance of our products, the cost and pricing of our products, manufacturing, competition, loss of key personnel, dependence on collaborative partners, key suppliers and contract manufacturers, capital spending and government funding policies, changes in governmental regulations, the use and protection of intellectual property rights, litigation, and other risk factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent filings. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.

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 organic and constant currency revenue growth and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as well as non-GAAP gross profit margin and non-GAAP operating margin, provide relevant and useful information that is widely used by equity analysts, investors and competitors in our industry, as well as by our management, in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance. We define the term organic revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of foreign currency translation changes and the effect of acquisitions and divestitures. Related to organic growth, we also present constant currency information because we believe this information provides a useful framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of only foreign currency rate fluctuations. We define the term non-GAAP gross profit margin as GAAP gross profit margin with certain non-GAAP measures excluded and non-GAAP operating margin as GAAP operating margin with certain non-GAAP measures excluded. These non-GAAP measures exclude costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, costs associated with our global information technology transition initiative, and other non-operational costs that are infrequent or non-recurring in nature and we believe these are useful measures to evaluate our continuing business. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business as it indicates the amount of cash generated after additions to property, plant, and equipment which is available for, among other things, investments in our business, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and repayment of debt. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management believes they provide more comparable measures of our continuing business because they adjust 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. We regularly use these 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 and use this information for our planning and forecasting activities. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies.

OVERVIEW

We are a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable our customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular and cellular levels. Our corporate headquarters are located in Billerica, Massachusetts. We maintain major technical and manufacturing centers in Europe and North America, and we have sales offices located throughout the world. Bruker is organized into two reportable segments, Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST). Within the BSI Segment, we are organized into three operating segments: the Bruker BioSpin Group, the Bruker CALID Group, and the Bruker Nano Group.

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was $521.1 million, an increase of $54.5 million, or 11.7%, from the three month period ended September 30, 2018. Revenue from companies acquired within the past twelve months represented $29.9 million, or 6.4%, of the increase, and the unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and other currencies represented a $10.7 million, or 2.3%, decline. Excluding these effects, organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, increased by $35.3 million, or 7.6%. Revenues increased on an organic basis within the Bruker CALID, Bruker Nano and Bruker BioSpin Groups. From a geographic perspective, revenues increased in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was $1,472.7 million, an increase of $130.7 million, or 9.7%, from the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. Revenue from companies acquired within the past twelve months represented $94.4 million, or 7.0%, of the increase, and the unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and other currencies represented a $43.8 million, or 3.3%, decline. Excluding these effects, organic revenue, a non-GAAP measure, increased by $80.1 million, or 6.0%. Revenues increased on an organic basis within the Bruker CALID, Bruker Nano and Bruker BioSpin Groups, and at the BEST Segment. Revenues also increased across the major geographic regions.

Our gross profit margin increased to 48.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 47.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our gross profit margin increased to 47.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 46.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit margin resulted primarily from operational improvements, accretive acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Our operating margin increased to 16.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 14.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating margin was due to operational improvements and favorable foreign currency translation. Our operating margin increased to 12.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 11.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The operating margin expansion was primarily due to operational improvements, accretive acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Our income tax provision in the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $21.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 26.1% and 32.4%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of a favorable discrete item in the period. Our income tax provision in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $40.0 million and $41.4 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 23.6% and 28.7%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the recording of items related to the update of a one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 untaxed foreign earnings and profits (toll charge) assessed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act) in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and other favorable discrete items.

Diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 were $0.39, an increase of $0.11 compared to $0.28 per share in the three month period ended September 30, 2018. Diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 were $0.82, an increase of $0.17 compared to $0.65 per share in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to revenue growth and higher gross and operating profit.

Operating cash flow for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was a source of cash of $77.2 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, our free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $32.4 million, calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

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 to satisfy local customs requirements and other export/import requirements;
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.

In May 2019, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan (the Repurchase Program) authorizing repurchases of common stock in the amount of up to $300.0 million from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. We repurchased a total of 1,022,469 shares at an aggregate cost of $42.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and a total of 3,323,104 shares at an aggregate cost of $142.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No repurchases occurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Any future repurchases will be funded from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The remaining authorization as of October 30, 2019 is $157.7 million and this Repurchase Program expires on May 13, 2021.

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 GAAP. 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 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; and
Goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

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, 2018.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit margin in the BSI Segment increased to 50.5% from 50.0% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. BEST Segment gross margin increased to 17.5% from 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in the BSI Segment increased to $494.3 million, or 37.1% of segment revenue, from $441.2 million, or 36.6% of segment revenue in the comparable period in 2018. The increase was a result of selected investments in the business and the assumption of expenses associated with acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in the BEST Segment were $16.6 million, or 10.9% of segment revenue, compared to $14.8 million, or 10.6% of segment revenue, for the comparable period in 2018. The increase as a percentage of revenue was a result of the timing of expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

BSI Segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $173.3 million, resulting in an operating margin of 13.0%, compared to operating income of $146.5 million, resulting in an operating margin of 12.1%, for the comparable period in 2018. Operating income included $47.4 million and $38.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of various charges for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs and costs associated with our global IT transformation initiative. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP operating margins were 16.6% and 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin expansion was primarily due to operational improvements, accretive acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

BEST Segment operating income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $9.9 million, resulting in an operating margin of 6.5%, compared to operating income of $9.3 million, resulting in an operating margin of 6.7%, for the comparable period in 2018. Operating income included $0.9 million and $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of various charges for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP operating margins were 7.1% and 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins remained reasonably consistent in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We anticipate that our existing cash and credit facilities will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future cash requirements could be affected by acquisitions that we may complete, repurchases of our common stock, or the payment of dividends in the future. Historically, we have financed our growth and liquidity needs through cash flow generation and a combination of debt financings and issuances of common stock. In the future, there are no assurances that we will continue to generate cash flow from operations or that additional financing alternatives will be available to us, if required, or if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to us.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $77.2 million, resulting from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $197.8 million, partially offset by an increase in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures of $120.6 million. The increase in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily caused by an increase in inventory for orders in 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $107.4 million, resulting from consolidated net income adjusted for non-cash items of $179.7 million, partially offset by an increase in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures of $72.3 million. The increase in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily caused by cash received for accounts receivable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $119.2 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $32.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was caused by cash paid for acquisitions of $79.0 million, net purchases of property, plant and equipment of $33.8 million and purchases of short-term investments of $6.4 million. Cash provided by investing

activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily caused by the maturities of short-term investments of $117.0 million, offset by the cash paid for acquisitions of $55.3 million and net purchases of property, plant and equipment of $28.8 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $22.1 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $189.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to $250.6 million in proceeds from borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement and $8.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net. This was offset by $142.3 million of repurchases of common stock under our repurchase program, $50.5 million of repayment under the 2015 Credit Agreement, $15.0 million repayment under the Note Purchase Agreement, $18.8 million used for the payment of dividends, $5.6 million payment of contingent considerations related to recent acquisitions and $4.8 million repayment of other debt. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to repayment of $202.5 million of borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, described below; and $18.8 million used for the payment of dividends. This was offset by $27.5 million in proceeds from borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, described below; and $8.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net.

In May 2019, our Board of Directors approved the Repurchase Program which authorizes the repurchase of our common stock in the amount of up to $300.0 million from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. We repurchased a total of 1,022,469 shares at an aggregate cost of $42.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and a total of 3,323,104 shares at an aggregate cost of $142.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No repurchases occurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The remaining authorization as of October 30, 2019 is $157.7 million and this Repurchase Program expires on May 13, 2021. We intend to fund any additional repurchases from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The repurchased shares are reflected within Treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019.

Cash at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $296.3 million and $322.4 million, respectively, of which $268.9 million and $280.9 million, respectively, related to foreign cash and short-term investments, most significantly in the Netherlands and Switzerland.

At December 31, 2018, we recorded state income and foreign withholding taxes on the cash and liquid assets portion of the unremitted earnings and profits (E&P) of foreign subsidiaries expected to be repatriated from our foreign subsidiaries to the United States, except for amounts from certain subsidiaries, which we have asserted to be indefinitely reinvested. Specifically, we assert that a total of $1,328 million of unremitted foreign earnings is indefinitely reinvested. This figure is comprised of $875.0 million in unremitted earnings, as well as $453.4 million of non-cash E&P in all other jurisdictions. If this E&P is ultimately distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would likely be subject to additional withholding tax. We estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred withholding taxes on the undistributed E&P to be approximately $48.5 million at December 31, 2018.

We recorded tax expense associated with the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions of the 2017 Tax Act as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Companies are allowed to adopt an accounting policy to either recognize deferred taxes for GILTI or treat such as a tax cost in the year incurred. We have determined to treat such as a tax cost in the year incurred. As such, we did not record a deferred income tax expense or benefit related to the GILTI provisions of the 2017 Tax Act in the consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $43.2 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce state taxable income; approximately $92.5 million of net operating losses available to reduce German federal income and trade taxes that are carried forward indefinitely; $5.8 million of other foreign net operating losses available that are carried forward indefinitely and $5.6 million of other foreign net operating losses that are expected to expire at various times in 2019. We also had U.S. state research and development tax credits of $8.6 million. Utilization of these credits and state net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations due to the ownership percentage change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. In the event of a deemed change in control under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, an annual limitation on the utilization of net operating losses and credits may result in the expiration of all or a portion of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

At September 30, 2019, we had outstanding debt totaling $ 518.8 million, consisting of $ 205.0 million outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement described below; $ 310.4 million outstanding under the 2015 Credit Agreement described below and $3.8 million under capital lease obligations and other loans. These amounts were offset by unamortized debt issuance costs under the Note Purchase Agreement of $0.4 million. At December 31, 2018, we had outstanding debt totaling $341.1 million, consisting of $220.0 million outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement described below, $111.6 million outstanding under the revolving loan component of the 2015 Credit Agreement described below, $7.1 million under capital lease obligations and other loans and $2.9 million under other revolving loans. These amounts were offset by unamortized debt issuance costs under the Note Purchase Agreement of $0.5 million.

The following is a summary of the maximum commitments and the net amounts available to us 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 September 30, 2019 (dollars in millions):

On October 27, 2015, we entered into the 2015 Credit Agreement.  The 2015 Credit Agreement provides a maximum commitment on the revolving credit line of $500.0 million and a maturity date of October 2020.  Borrowings under the revolving credit line accrue interest, at our 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 us to maintain certain financial ratios related to maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage. Specifically, our leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.5 and our 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 us to prepay the debt before its scheduled due date.

As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants, as defined by both the 2015 Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement.

In January 2012, we entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, with a group of accredited institutional investors. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold $240.0 million of 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.

On January 18, 2017, the outstanding $20.0 million principal amount of Tranche A of the Senior Notes was repaid in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. On January 18, 2019, the outstanding $15.0 million principal amount of Tranche B of the Senior Notes was repaid in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits.  This ASU is effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which provides new guidance intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU is effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. This ASU will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows upon adoption.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are potentially exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency, interest rates and commodity prices. We selectively use financial instruments to reduce these risks. All transactions related to risk management techniques are authorized and executed pursuant to our policies and procedures. Analytical techniques used to manage and monitor foreign currency and interest rate risk include market valuations and sensitivity analysis.

Impact of Foreign Currencies

We generate a substantial portion of our revenues in international markets, principally Germany and other countries in the European Union, Switzerland and Japan, which exposes our operations to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of currency exchange rate movement can be positive or negative in any period. Our costs related to sales in foreign currencies are largely denominated in the same respective currencies, reducing our transaction risk exposure. However, for foreign currency denominated sales in certain regions, such as Japan, where we do not incur significant costs denominated in that foreign currency, we are more exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

For sales not denominated in U.S. Dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. Dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. Dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. Dollars than we would have received before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. Dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. Dollar could result in our prices not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. For example, if the U.S. Dollar strengthened against the Japanese Yen, our Japanese-based competitors would have a greater pricing advantage over us.

Changes in foreign currency translation rates decreased our revenue by 3.3 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and increased our revenue by approximately 3.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded net (losses) gains from currency translation adjustments of ($38.9) million and ($17.1) million, respectively. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported in interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Our foreign exchange (losses) gains, net were ($0.7 ) million and ($1.6) million, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

44

Table of Contents

From time to time, we have entered into foreign exchange contracts designed to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in foreign currency have on our cash flows related to purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. Under these arrangements, we agree 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 typically with maturities of less than twelve months with some agreements extending to longer periods. These transactions are recorded at fair value with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts aggregating $82.5 million and $102.4 million, respectively. We will continue to evaluate our currency risks and in the future may utilize foreign currency contracts more frequently.

Impact of Interest Rates

We regularly invest excess cash in short-term investments that are subject to changes in interest rates. We believe that the market risk arising from holding these financial instruments is minimal because of our policy of investing in short-term financial instruments issued by highly rated financial institutions.

Our exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is derived primarily from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market rates. We currently have a higher level of fixed rate debt, which limits our exposure to adverse movements in interest rates.

Impact of Commodity Prices

We are exposed to certain commodity risks associated with prices for various raw materials. The prices of copper and certain other raw materials, particularly niobium tin, used to manufacture superconductors have increased significantly over the last decade. Copper and niobium tin are the main components of low temperature superconductors and continued commodity price increases for copper and niobium as well as other raw materials may negatively affect our profitability. Periodically, we enter into commodity forward purchase contracts to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in the price of copper have on our sales of these products. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $5.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively. We will continue to evaluate our commodity risks and may utilize commodity forward purchase contracts more frequently in the future.

Inflation

We do not believe inflation had a material impact on our business or operating results during any of the periods presented.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based on this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II      OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including, but not limited to, patent and commercial matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no such matters pending that we currently believe are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our business or to our consolidated financial statements.

On September 25, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss AG (Zeiss), sued Luxendo GmbH (Luxendo), a subsidiary of Bruker Corporation, for infringement of a recently registered German utility model Gebrauchsmuster licensed to Zeiss pertaining to one specific Luxendo product category. We intend to vigorously defend against this claim.

On September 23, 2019, in a complaint filed in the Düsseldorf, Germany, District Court, Micromass UK Limited, a subsidiary of Waters Corporation, sued Bruker Corporation, as well as its affiliate, Bruker Daltonik GmbH, for infringement of a European patent pertaining to our timsTOF product line. We intend to vigorously defend against this claim.

In addition, we are subject to regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the United States and other countries in which we operate. From time to time, we are the subject of governmental investigations often involving regulatory, marketing and other business practices. These governmental investigations may result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings, fines, penalties and administrative remedies which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.

ITEM IA.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, Umbrina is the owner of the land with the building thereon commonly known and numbered as 15 Fortune Drive, Billerica, Massachusetts, as more particularly described as Parcel B on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Fortune Drive Property” and collectively with the Manning Road Property, the “Properties”, and each individually a “Property”); and

 

WHEREAS, the sale of the Properties includes (a) all improvements and fixtures located thereon (“Improvements”), (b) all right, title and interest of the Sellers, if any, in and to all and singular the rights, benefits, privileges, easements, tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereon or appertaining thereto, (c) all right, title and interest of the Sellers, if any, in and to all strips and gores and any land lying in the bed of any street, road or alley, open or proposed, adjoining the Properties, but excluding the equipment, trade fixtures, racking, furnishings, furniture and other personal property, if any (the “Personal Property”) owned by Seller or any tenant at the Properties used in connection with Sellers’ or such tenant’s permitted operations thereon;

 

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase and the Sellers desire to sell the Properties in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and in consideration of the covenants, agreements, warranties and representations hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties each hereto agree as follows:

 

1.         PURCHASE PRICE.  The agreed purchase price for the Properties is Twelve Million Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($12,300,000.00) Dollars (the “Purchase Price”), of which Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($6,700.000.00) Dollars shall be allocated to the purchase of the Manning Road Property and Five Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($5,600,000.00) shall be allocated to the purchase of the Fortune Drive Property.  Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price, based upon the foregoing allocation, less the Deposit allocated to each Property (as hereinafter defined) to each Seller on the Date of Closing (as hereinafter defined) by bank cashier's check payable directly to Sellers without intervening endorsement, drawn on a Greater Boston Clearing House Bank, or by wiring immediately available Federal funds to such bank account as may be designated by each Seller.

2.         ESCROW.

2.1      DEPOSIT; ESCROW AGENT.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement Buyer has delivered or caused to be delivered an earnest Money deposit in the sum of Three Hundred Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 ($307,500.00) Dollars (the “Deposit”) to McLane Middleton Professional Association, (the “Escrow Agent”), of which One Hundred Sixty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Seven and 50/100 ($167,587.50) Dollars of the Deposit shall be allocated to the purchase of the Manning Road Property and One Hundred Thirty Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Twelve and 50/100 ($139,912.50) Dollars shall be allocated to the purchase of the Fortune Drive Property.  Buyer hereby acknowledges that Escrow Agent also serves as legal counsel to Buyer, that such representation could create a conflict of interest, and that nonetheless such arrangement is satisfactory to Sellers  as a means of facilitating this transaction.  The Deposit shall be deposited into a Money Market interest-bearing escrow account at a Massachusetts bank insured by the FDIC and the DIF fund.  Interest earned on the Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing except in the event of a default, in which event interest shall follow the Deposit.  At the time of delivery of the deed, Escrow Agent shall release the allocated portion of the Deposit to each Seller, which shall be credited against the balance of the allocated Purchase Price owed by Buyer to each Seller.

2.2      ESCROW PROVISIONS.  Escrow Agent agrees to hold, keep and deliver the Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall be liable only to hold said sums and deliver the same to the parties named herein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it being expressly understood that by acceptance of this Agreement Escrow Agent is acting in the capacity of a depository only and shall not be liable or responsible to anyone for any damages, loses or expenses or for any action or nonaction taken in good faith in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless the same shall have been caused by the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Escrow Agent.  In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Sellers resulting in any adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for the monies involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with any such claims or demands so long as such disagreement may continue; and in so refusing Escrow Agent shall make no delivery or other disposition of any of the monies then held by it under the terms of this Agreement to Buyer or Sellers, and in so doing

2

Escrow Agent shall not become liable to anyone for such refusal; and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until (a) the rights of the adverse claimants shall have been finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction of the monies involved herein or affected hereby, or (b) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement between Sellers and Buyer, and Escrow Agent shall have been notified in writing of such agreement signed by the parties hereto.  Further, Escrow Agent shall have the right at all times to pay all sums held by it into any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where the Properties lie, after a dispute between or among the parties hereto has arisen, whereupon Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall terminate.  In no event shall the Escrow Agent be under any duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceeding.

All expenses reasonably incurred by Escrow Agent as a result of a dispute or controversy under this Agreement between Buyer and Sellers shall be paid by the losing party to such dispute.  Otherwise, any fee due Escrow Agent shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder which might in its reasonable judgment subject it to any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity by Buyer and/or Sellers.

 

Escrow Agent shall incur no liability for acting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, opinion, notice, request, consent, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons.

5

4.2      Buyer is hereby given a limited license to enter the Properties for the purpose of conducting the Inspections.  All Inspections requiring access to the Properties shall be in the presence of the Seller of the Property to be inspected or its designee.  Buyer shall give Seller of the Property to be inspected reasonable prior notice of all Inspections requiring access to the Property and use reasonable care in the course of the Inspections, and if the Property is disturbed, shall restore the Property to the condition preceding the Inspections.  Each entity conducting the Inspections requiring access to the Properties, shall maintain insurance which shall include commercial general liability on an occurrence basis with a combined single limit of $2,000,000 for property damage, bodily injury and personal injury.  Prior to accessing the Properties, each such entity shall provide Seller of the Property to be inspected with a certificate of insurance conforming to the foregoing.  The Inspections shall be performed in compliance with and subject to all laws and regulations.  In no event shall the Buyer or any person or entity conducting an Inspection (a) perform any intrusive physical testing, digging or penetration at the Properties (such as roof penetration or borings of the land), unless Buyer has obtained the prior written consent, as set forth above, of the Seller of the Property to be inspected, or (b) request any inspection of the Properties by any governmental authority, unless required by law and then only after providing Seller of the Property to be inspected with notice of, and opportunity to object to, same.  In the event this transaction does not close due to Buyer’s termination pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, Buyer, at Sellers’ request, shall deliver to Sellers all third-party written inspections, examinations, evaluations, studies, tests, reports, surveys, reports, or other written matters obtained by Buyer and generated as a result of or in the course of the Inspections of the Properties, the delivery of which, however, is subject to any restrictions set forth in such studies, tests or reports regarding assignment, confidentiality and reliance.

4.3      After Buyer's Inspections as to the items set forth in the Section 4.1 of this Agreement, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement for a material reason pertaining to the economic viability of completing this transaction (which is understood not to include any condition which has been affirmatively disclosed by Sellers and accepted by Buyer; and not to include latent defects that do not reasonably require repair within Buyer's first year of operation and, if so, which, in the aggregate, do not require more than $100,000 to repair), by giving written notice of termination to Sellers by the end of the Due Diligence Period. In such event, Sellers shall have the option to adjust the purchase price in the amount that the cost of said repairs exceeds the $100,000 in aggregate, and the transaction shall continue as if the Notice of Termination had not been served. If Sellers decline to do so, then the Notice of Termination shall be served upon the Sellers, in which event, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer; and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that survive this Agreement as expressly provided herein unless Buyer elects to waive the Notice of Termination in which event the parties shall mutually agree on a Closing Date.

4.4      If Buyer terminates this Agreement, as provided herein, Buyer shall promptly restore any portion of the Properties disturbed as a result of or in the course of the inspections, substantially to its condition immediately prior to the Inspections.  In no event shall any unsafe condition at the Properties be created by Buyer.

4.5      Title Review.  Sellers shall not be obligated to clear any encumbrances to or defects in title except for voluntary liens or mortgages of an ascertainable amount (“Sellers’

6

Liens”), which Sellers’ Liens each Seller shall cause to be satisfied at or prior to Closing (with each Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may give notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) to Sellers of the existence of any encumbrances and defects in title to which Buyer objects and that are not Permitted Encumbrances (“Title Objections”).  Sellers shall, within five (5) business days from receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, notify Buyer of those Title Objections that Sellers elect to attempt to remove or correct, provided that failure of Sellers to give said notice shall be deemed to mean that Sellers have elected not to remove or correct any Title Objections.  In the event Sellers elect to attempt to remove or correct Title Objections and by the later of the expiration of the Due Diligence Date or the date which is twenty (20) business days following Sellers’ receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, Sellers have not arranged for removal or correction of said Title Objections, then Buyer shall either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice given within five (5) business days from the end of the foregoing period in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof, or (ii) accept the condition of the title to the Properties as they then are, without diminution of the Purchase Price.  If Buyer fails to timely elect (i) above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above.  Encumbrances and defects to title that are not included in Buyer’s Title Notice and those Title Objections that are accepted pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers’ Liens shall not be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.  Recording fees for recording documents to discharge Title Objections and Sellers’ Liens shall be borne by Seller.  Any dispute as to any title issue or conveyancing practice remaining unresolved at the scheduled time for performance under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with applicable Standards or Practices of the Real Estate Bar Association of Massachusetts, to the extent applicable.

4.6      Subsequent Title Encumbrances.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.5 above, encumbrances or defects that first arise after the date and time of Buyer’s title commitment (“Subsequent Title Encumbrances”) shall not be deemed Permitted Encumbrances, provided Buyer notifies Sellers (“Buyer’s Subsequent Title Notice”) by the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) business days after it has notice of such encumbrance(s) or defect(s), and (ii) the Closing.  Failure to so notify Sellers shall cause Subsequent Title Encumbrances or defects to be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.  Sellers shall have five (5) business days from the date of Buyer’s Subsequent Title Notice to arrange for removal or correction of the Subsequent Title Encumbrances.  In the event Sellers have not arranged for removal or correction of the Subsequent Title Encumbrances within said five (5) business day period, then Buyer shall either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice given within five (5) business days from the end of the foregoing period in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof, or (ii) accept the condition of the title to the Property as it then is, without diminution of the Purchase Price, whereupon the Subsequent Title Encumbrances shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions and the parties shall proceed to closing.  If Buyer fails to timely elect (i) above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above.

7

4.7      Automatic Extension.  If necessary, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow for the full time periods set forth in Subsections 4.5 and 4.6 above.

4.8      Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that if Buyer fails, or otherwise waives its right, to terminate this Agreement, as provided herein, then it shall be conclusively deemed that Buyer has accepted in all respects (i) the results of the Inspections; (ii) any defect, violation or matter existing as of the later of (1) the date of this Agreement, or (2) the date of the applicable Inspection; (iii) the condition of the Properties and their systems as of the date of each Inspection; (iv) the state of the title to the Properties as determined under Sections 4.5 and 4.6 above; (v) the compliance with the provisions of any instrument referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereto; and (vi) the conformity of the Properties with the provisions of this Agreement.  Buyer's failure to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 above, shall be deemed a waiver of Buyer's right to object to any title defects, violation, nonconformity or other matters contained herein other than matters arising after the later of (1) the date of this Agreement, or (2) the date of the applicable Inspection.  If Buyer has not timely terminated this Agreement as provided herein, then the Deposit shall become non-refundable except for Sellers’ failure or inability to perform its obligations hereunder.

4.9      Buyer shall not, without the written consent of Sellers, copy or deliver any document or test report made or received in connection with the Inspections or the purchase of the Properties to anyone other than, on a need to know basis, Buyer's employees, agents, attorneys, consultants, advisors, accountants and lender, and except for delivery to such persons, Buyer shall maintain the confidentiality and not disclose, prior to the acceptance of Sellers’ deeds and payment of the full Purchase Price, such documents, data and other information obtained in the course of this transaction, to any other person unless required by applicable law or court order.  As a prerequisite to the delivery of any such document or test report to a permitted third party, such party shall agree to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provision hereof.  In the event this transaction does not close due to Buyer’s termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, Buyer promptly shall, upon Sellers’ request deliver to Sellers (subject to confidentiality and assignment restrictions contained therein) copies of all plans, studies, analyses, inspection reports, traffic studies, permit reviews, and other due diligence materials prepared for Buyer in connection with its contemplated purchase and sale of the Properties, all without representation as to accuracy or completeness.  Buyer shall not engage in any activity that could result in a lien being filed against the Properties.

4.10    Buyer (as used in this Section 4.10, Buyer shall include its agents, servants, employees, attorneys, lenders and contractors and such other individuals who come on or about the Properties at the request of Buyer) agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, exonerate and hold the each Seller harmless and indemnified against and from any all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, judgments, causes of action, expenses, fees, charges and related to the acts or omissions of Buyer which are in any manner connected with the Inspections or Buyer's activities on or about the Properties including, without limitation, claims for personal injury and/or property damage, and including all costs attorneys' fees.  Nothing herein shall relieve Sellers from responsibility for its own negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of its agents, servants, employees, attorneys, lenders or contractors.

8

4.11    The agreements in this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, irrespective of the cause of termination, or the delivery of the deeds to the Properties.

5.         CLOSING.

5.1      Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, such deeds shall be delivered at ten o'clock A.M., Boston time, on  on February 26, 2020 (the "Date of Closing") at the offices of Seller's counsel, Nicholson, Sreter  &Gilgun, P.C., 33 Bedford Street, Suite 4, Lexington, MA 02420, or at such other place as is otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto.  On the Date of Closing possession of the Properties is to be delivered and the Properties in the same condition (with the exception of such change in condition resulting from such action or inaction attributable to Buyer) as they are at end of the Due Diligence Period, reasonable use and wear thereof excepted.  Buyer shall be given the opportunity to inspect the Properties within 72 hours of the closing to confirm the Properties compliance with terms set forth in this Section 5.1.

If at the expiration of the extended time the Sellers shall have failed so to remove any defects in title, deliver possession, or make the Properties conform, as the case may be, all as herein agreed, then the Buyer shall have the option to either (a) terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be refunded and all other obligations of the parties hereto shall cease and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the parties hereto, except for those provisions surviving termination hereof, or (b) accept the Properties and the title in their then condition and to pay therefore the Purchase Price without deduction.

 

8.         USE OF PURCHASE MONEY TO CLEAR TITLE.  To enable Sellers to make conveyance as herein provided, Sellers may, at the time of delivery of the deed, use any portion of the Purchase Price to clear title of any or all encumbrances or interests, provided that all instruments so procured are recorded and filed simultaneously with the delivery of the deed or, in the case of institutional mortgages or municipal liens, provided that arrangements in accordance with customary conveyancing practices are made for a discharge to be promptly procured, recorded and filed after the delivery of the deed.

9.         ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.  All real estate taxes for the then current fiscal period, monthly rent, security deposits, utilities (if not terminated as of the Closing) and water and sewer use charges shall be prorated and fuel value shall be adjusted as of the Date of Closing and the net amount thereof shall be added to or deducted from, as the case may be, the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer at the time of delivery of the deed.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no proration shall be made for rents delinquent as of the Closing Date (the “Delinquent Rents”).  Buyer shall make a good faith attempt (but Buyer shall not be required to institute suit or collection procedures) to collect the Delinquent Rents.  Sellers hereby waive their rights to bring suit against tenants to collect Delinquent Rents.  Amounts collected by Buyer from any tenant showing Delinquent Rents shall be applied first to current rents owed by such tenant and then to Delinquent Rents.  Any such amounts applicable to Delinquent Rents received by Buyer shall be forwarded to the applicable Seller within five (5) business days.  If the amount of said taxes is not known on the Date of Closing, they shall be apportioned on the basis of the amounts for the preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon as the new amounts can be ascertained.  If such taxes and assessments shall thereafter be reduced by abatement, the amount of such abatement, less the reasonable cost of obtaining the same, shall be apportioned between the parties, provided that neither party shall be obligated to institute or prosecute proceedings for an abatement.  All portions of any special taxes or assessments assessed prior to the Date of Closing which are due and payable prior to the Date of Closing shall be paid by Sellers and those portions of any such special taxes and assessments due and payable after the Date of Closing shall be paid by Buyer.

10.       COSTS.  Sellers and Buyer shall each pay all such expenses, charge or costs for which Sellers and Buyers, respectively, are customarily responsible in real estate transactions in Massachusetts.  Each party shall be responsible for the fees of its respective counsel.  Buyer shall be responsible for (a) the cost any title insurance premium and any special endorsements, and (b) the costs of any survey required to delete the pre-printed survey exception from the title insurance policy.

11

11.       INSURANCE.  Until the delivery of the deed the Sellers shall maintain Fire and Extended coverage insurance equal to the full replacement cost of the structures on the Properties.  Sellers shall not be obligated to assign to Buyer any fire, hazard, or liability insurance policies which it holds respecting the Properties and Sellers shall have the right to any and all refunds or rebates resulting from the termination of such policies.

12.       BROKER REPRESENTATION.  Sellers and Buyer hereby warrant and represent to each other that neither has dealt with any real estate agent, broker or finder, and neither party was called to the attention of the other as a result of any services or facilities of any such other real estate agent, broker or finder for which the other is responsible.  Each of the Sellers and Buyer agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the other harmless from all cost, damage or expense arising out of the breach of this representation.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the delivery of the deed hereunder.

13.       SELLERS’ PERFORMANCE.  The acceptance and recording of the deeds by Buyer shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation of Sellers herein contained and expressed, and Buyer agrees that there are no obligations of Sellers which survive this Agreement or are to be performed after the delivery of said deed other than the covenants contained in said deeds or in other documents delivered by Sellers to Buyer upon Closing.

14.       RECORDING PROHIBITED.  This Agreement shall not be recorded with the Registry or in any other office or place of public record.  If Buyer shall record this Agreement or notice thereof or cause the same to be recorded, Sellers may, at their option, elect to treat such as a default by Buyer under this Agreement.

15.       NO ASSIGNMENT.  Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Sellers, it being understood that Sellers shall have the right to withhold such consent arbitrarily, or condition such consent upon the payment of additional monies.  If Buyer assigns or transfers this Agreement or any rights hereunder to any party, whether orally or in writing, or prior to the actual closing enters into any arrangement or agreement with one or more persons or entities not named herein, whether orally or in writing, for the transfer or resale of the Properties or any interest therein (other than a written commitment to obtain a bona fide purchase money mortgage) without Sellers’ prior written consent, this Agreement shall, at the sole option of the Sellers, become null and void, and all Deposits made hereunder shall be retained by the Sellers as liquidated damages.  Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 15 to the contrary, as the sole exception, Buyer may upon written notice to, but without the requirement of consent by Sellers assign this Agreement to an entity owned and controlled by Buyer.

16.       REMEDIES.

16.1    No representative of Sellers or Buyer shall have any personal liability in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

16.2    Sellers’ Remedies.  In the event that the Buyer defaults under this Agreement through no fault of the Sellers, then the Sellers shall be entitled to retain the entire Deposit.  The

12

parties acknowledge that Sellers have no adequate remedy in the event of Buyer's default hereunder because it is impossible to compute exactly the damages which would accrue to the Sellers in such event.  The parties have therefore taken these facts into account in setting the amount of the Deposit hereunder and hereby agree that: (i) the Deposit is the best pre-estimate of such damages which would accrue to Sellers in the event of Buyer's default thereunder; (ii) said Deposit represents damages and not any penalty against Buyer; and (iii) if Buyer shall fail to fulfill Buyer's obligations hereunder, said Deposit shall be due the Sellers from the Buyer as its full damages in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which Sellers may have against Buyer at law or in equity.  Nothing in this Section shall limit the express provisions of this Agreement obligating Buyer to indemnify Sellers or with respect to the restoration of the Properties pursuant to any provision of this Agreement requiring Buyer to do so.

16.3    Buyer’s Remedies.  If Sellers fail to perform their obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Sellers’ representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Buyer shall provide Sellers with written notice, within fourteen (14) days of it first becoming aware of Sellers’ inability to perform or any material breach of Sellers’ representations or warranties, of its election, as its sole remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement  (ii) enforce specific performance, or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Buyer provides Sellers with timely notice of its election to enforce specific performance but fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Properties are located within two (2) months following the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement.

16.4    Other Expenses.  If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Deposit as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the title company for preparation and/or cancellation of any title commitment.

17.       TITLE AND PRACTICE STANDARDS.  Any matter or practice arising under or relating to this Agreement which is the subject of a Title Standard or a Practice Standard of the Massachusetts Real Estate Bar Association shall be governed by said Standard or Practice to the extent applicable and not inconsistent with the terms hereof.

18.       WAIVER.  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision contained herein shall be deemed waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act.

19.       TIME.  It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Agreement.

20.       GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its choice of law provisions.

15

30.       AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a further agreement in writing duly executed by each of the parties to this Agreement.

31.       COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties signing different counterparts of this Agreement, which counterparts together shall constitute the agreement of the parties.

32.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  The captions in this Agreement are inserted only for the purpose of convenient reference and in no way define, limit or prescribe the scope of this Agreement or any part hereof.  The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a reservation of, or option for, the Properties, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both the Sellers and Buyer.

33.       TENANTS

33.1    Sellers warrant and represent that attached hereto as Exhibit B is a complete list of all tenants, the Property and unit they occupy, the rent they pay, and the amount of any prepaid rent, the security deposit paid by each tenant, and whether the tenant is in default of the lease (the “Tenants”).  Sellers agree to notify Buyer of any change in the status of any tenant up to the date of the Closing.  Sellers further warrant and represent that they have provided Buyer with a copy of the all active written leases pertaining to the Properties.

33.2    Buyer agrees to take subject to the rights of the Tenants and assume all obligations under any Tenant leases.  The parties agree to prorate the rent paid for the month in which the Closing occurs and the net amount thereof shall be added to or deducted from, as the case may be, the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer at the time of the Closing.

33.4    During the pendency of this Agreement, Sellers shall not enter into any leases or occupancy agreements, amendments or modification to any existing leases that would be binding on Buyer after the Closing without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall be approved or rejected in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion (to the extent such leases are executed and approved by Buyer, they are sometimes referred to as “Approved New Leases” and included in the defined term “Leases”).  If approved by the Buyer, Buyer hereby agrees to assume the obligation to pay any and all brokerage commissions that may become due and payable from and after the Effective Date in connection with the execution of any Approved New Leases pursuant to commission agreements approved by Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers against payment of the same.

16

33.5    Estoppel Certificates:  Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain by the Closing Date estoppel certificates signed by all tenants and parties in possession of the Properties, such certificates to certify that each lease or occupancy agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect, that the landlord or tenant under each lease or occupancy agreement has no knowledge of any defense, offsets or counterclaims against the other, that all rent and any other charges and other covenants under each lease or occupancy agreement (or if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets or counterclaims, setting them forth in reasonable detail), the dates to which rent and other charges have been paid and a statement that the landlord or tenant is not in default thereunder (or if in default the nature of such default in reasonable detail).  Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by Buyer or any mortgagee of the Properties.

33.6    In addition, Sellers shall assign to Buyer all leases, all security deposits and prepaid rents being held by the Sellers to the Buyer at the Closing.

34.       OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS.

34.1    Ongoing Operations.  From the Effective Date through Closing:

(a)        Operation of the Properties.  Sellers will operate the Properties in the ordinary course of business consistent with their prior practice.

(b)        Service Contracts.  Sellers will perform their material obligations under the Service Contracts.

(c)        New Contracts.  Sellers will not enter into any contracts that will be an obligation affecting the Properties subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of Sellers’ businesses, and approved by the Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

(d)        Maintenance of Improvements.  Subject to Sections 34.2 and 34.3, Sellers shall maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted) and in a manner consistent with Sellers’ maintenance of the Improvements during Sellers’ period of ownership.

34.2    Risk of Loss. Until the Closing, the risk of loss by fire or other casualty to the Properties, and liability for personal injury or damage to property of others at the Properties, shall be borne by Sellers, except as expressly provided for herein.  If prior to Closing the Properties are damaged by fire or other casualty, Sellers shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Buyer written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.

(a)        Material Damage.  In the event of any Material Damage, as hereinafter defined, to or destruction of the Properties or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Buyer may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Sellers on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Buyer (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to give such notice and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Sellers’ insurers).  Upon any

17

such termination, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.  If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement, as evidenced by its failure to deliver timely written notice of termination to the Sellers within said thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Sellers (or Seller if the Casualty is to one Property) shall credit Buyer with the applicable deductible or retention and assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Sellers, all of Sellers’ rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Sellers as a result of such damage or destruction, and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for payment of any deductible or retention as well as for all needed repairs.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” or “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Sellers’ reasonable estimation, exceeds $150,000.00 to repair or which, in Sellers’ reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90) days to repair.

(b)        No Material Damage.  If the Properties are not Materially Damaged, then Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Sellers shall, at its option, either (i) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or (ii) credit Buyer at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which case Sellers shall retain all insurance proceeds and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs).

34.3    Condemnation.  If proceedings in eminent domain are threatened or instituted with respect to the Properties or any portion thereof, Sellers shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof.  If the Properties (or a Property) are subject to a Major Condemnation, as hereinafter defined, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Sellers given within ten (10) days after Sellers notifies Buyer of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Buyer the full ten-day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer upon return and/or delivery of the Property Documents from Buyer to Sellers, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Sellers shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer their entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Buyer shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter.  If Buyer does not give Sellers written notice of its election within the time required above, or if the condemnation is not a Major Condemnation, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Major Condemnation” means any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings that occurs after the Effective Date, if and only if the portion of the Properties that is the subject of such proceedings has a value in excess of $150,000.00, as determined by the demand or pleading of the condemning authority.

18
