BRUKER CORP New Standards Disclosure
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2025-09 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This new guidance refines the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815 to better align financial reporting with the economic effects of an entity's risk management activities and to address implementation issues identified since prior hedge accounting. Specifically, the ASU provides improvements in the following five areas: (i) similar risk assessment of cash flow hedges, (ii) hedging forecasted interest payments on chose-your-rate debt instruments, (iii) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (iv) net written options as hedging instruments, and (v) foreign currency-denominated debt instruments as a hedging instrument and hedged item. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 – Intangibles, Goodwill, and other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This new guidance modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing references to prescriptive project stages and introducing a new capitalization threshold based on management’s commitment to funding and the probability of project completion. Entities are also required to evaluate significant development uncertainty before capitalizing costs. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. This new guidance clarifies the accounting treatment of whether the settlement of convertible debt should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 – Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
