Bruker posts profit, cuts 5% of workforce
Fitchburg-based Bruker AXS Inc., which develops sophisticated X-ray systems for life and materials sciences, reported a second-quarter profit on increased sales, and a restructuring that included about 5 percent cut in its workforce.
Bruker reported second-quarter net income of $609,000, or 1 cent per diluted share, on revenues of $24 million, compared with a net loss of $1.8 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, on revenues of $20.2 million a year ago.

The cuts reduced Bruker's global workforce from about 560 to about 530, including about 100 locally, where seven positions were eliminated, CEO Martin Haase said in an interview today.
The positions cut were redundant due to Bruker's two acquisitions over the past 18 months. The cuts, streamlining production and reducing operating expenses will produce annual cost savings of $2 million to $3 million, the company said.
"This is a global program to improve our profitability," Haase said.

The company said it raised its revenue guidance for the year to a range of $99 million to $101 million, up more than 20 percent over 2001, on strong backlog, new orders and the launch of new products.

For the first six months sales grew 22% to $47.8 million and net income was $0.9 million, as against a net loss of $1.6 million. Growth was driven by sales of its X-ray systems in the materials science sector. Sales in Japan were boosted by the acquisition of MAC Science. Bruker AXS expects strong 20% growth for the rest of the year from materials sciences and its life sciences, where the company just launched a new range of X-ray based systems for structural proteomics. That growth could take Bruker AXS to over $100 million in annual sales.
