Bruker CALID’s mass spectrometry units are typically used in applications of expression proteomics, clinical proteomics, metabolic and peptide biomarker profiling, drug discovery and development, molecular diagnostics research, molecular and systems biology, basic molecular medicine research and clinical microbiology (for research use only outside the European Union).

Bruker MAT (Materials)- Bruker MAT designs, manufactures and distributes spectroscopy and microscopy instruments for the understanding of composition and structure in material science and life science samples.  The instruments are based on advanced technologies in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray micro computed tomography (μCT), atomic force microscopy (AFM), stylus and optical metrology (SOM) and fluorescence microscopy (FM), and also include analytical tools for electron microscopes, handheld, portable, and mobile X-ray fluorescence, and spark optical emission spectroscopy systems.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial information presented herein does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and had no effect on previously reported net income or cash flows.

At September 30, 2014, 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, 2013, have not changed.

2.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s awards of stock-based compensation are in the form of stock options and restricted stock. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows (in millions):

Stock-based compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the underlying vesting terms of the stock-based award. Stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock are periodically awarded to executive officers and other employees of the Company subject to a vesting period of three to five years. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates are required for the Black-Scholes model and are presented in the table below:

Bruker Corporation Stock Plan

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

Stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

Restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

At September 30, 2014, the Company expects to recognize pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $20.8 million associated with outstanding stock option awards granted under the Company’s stock plans over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.5 years. In addition, the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $5.0 million associated with outstanding restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock plans over the weighted average remaining service period of 3.2 years.

3.Earnings Per Share

Net income per common share attributable to Bruker Corporation shareholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Bruker Corporation by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The diluted net income per share computation includes the effect of shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of restricted stock, reduced by the number of shares which are assumed to be purchased by the Company under the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted average shares outstanding (in millions, except per share amounts):

Stock options to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Approximately 0.2 million shares and 0.9 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

4.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the following hierarchy to determine the fair value of financial instruments, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The levels in the hierarchy are defined as follows:

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, derivative instruments consisting of forward foreign exchange contracts, commodity contracts, derivatives embedded in certain purchase and sale contracts, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, contingent consideration and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s long-term debt consists principally of a private placement arrangement entered into in 2012 with various fixed interest rates based on the maturity date.  The fair value of the long-term fixed interest rate debt, which has been classified as Level 2, was $249.3 million and $244.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, based on market and observable sources with similar maturity dates.

Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities, and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities, which originated during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As part of certain acquisitions, including one during the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities that have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of future payments to the former shareholders of applicable acquired companies based on achieving annual revenue targets and specific milestones in certain years as specified in the purchase and sale agreements.  The Company initially valued the contingent consideration using the discounted cash flow method. Total contingent consideration liabilities were $15.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and $7.0 million as of December 31, 2013. There were no changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and $0.1 million was recorded to Other Charges in the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The following table sets forth the changes in contingent consideration liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions):

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company commenced a program to enter into time deposits with varying maturity dates ranging from one to six months, as well as call deposits for which the Company has the ability to redeem the invested amounts over a period of 31 to 95 days.  The Company has classified these investments within cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments within the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the call and maturity dates.

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses) excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no unrealized gains (losses) recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its short-term investments to determine if there have been any events that could create an impairment.  None were noted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

5.Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):

Finished goods include in-transit systems that have been shipped to the Company’s customers, but not yet installed and accepted by the customer. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, inventory-in-transit was $78.8 million and $81.9 million, respectively.

The Company reduces the carrying value of its demonstration inventories for differences between its cost and estimated net realizable value through a charge to cost of product revenue that is based on a number of factors, including the age of the unit, the physical condition of the unit and an assessment of technological obsolescence. Amounts recorded in cost of product revenue related to the write-down of demonstration units to net realizable value were $7.4 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $22.6 million and $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

6.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions):

In July 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan (the “Plan”) to divest certain assets and implement a restructuring program in the CAM division within the Bruker CALID Group. The Plan was developed as a result of management’s conclusion that the CAM business would be unable to achieve acceptable financial performance in the next two years.  Please see Note 13 — Other Charges, net, for more details on the Plan. The Company determined the Plan was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible assets within that reporting unit for recoverability. The Company had no remaining goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the CAM division prior to approval of the Plan. The Company performed a valuation during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and determined that the definite-lived intangible assets within the CAM division were impaired. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to write-off the remaining carrying value of those assets. This impairment charge is included as a component of Other Charges, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

The following is a summary of intangible assets (in millions):

For each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded amortization expense of $5.1 million related to intangible assets subject to amortization.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded amortization expense of $15.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively, related to intangible assets subject to amortization.

7.Debt

The Company’s debt obligations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following (in millions):

In May 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to, and restatement of, its credit agreement, referred to as the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides a maximum commitment on the Company’s revolving credit line of $250.0 million and a maturity date of May 2016. Borrowings under the revolving credit line of the Amended 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% or (b) LIBOR, plus margins ranging from 0.80% to 1.65%. There is also a facility fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by guarantees from certain material subsidiaries, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, Inc. The Amended Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios related to maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage. Specifically, the Company’s leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.0 and the Company’s interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 3.0. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition to the financial ratios, the Amended Credit Agreement restricts, among other things, the Company’s ability to do the following: make certain payments; incur additional debt; incur certain liens; make certain investments, including derivative agreements; merge, consolidate, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Failure to comply with any of these restrictions or covenants may result in an event of default under the Amended 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 net amounts available to the Company under revolving loans and lines of credit as of September 30, 2014 (in millions):

Other revolving lines of credit are with various financial institutions located primarily in Germany and Switzerland. The Company’s other revolving lines of credit, both secured and unsecured, are typically due upon demand with interest payable monthly.

In January 2012, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, referred to as the Note Purchase Agreement, with a group of accredited institutional investors. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold $240.0 million of senior notes, referred to as the Senior Notes, which consist of the following:

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.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative covenants, including, without limitation, maintenance of corporate existence, compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance and properties, payment of taxes, addition of subsidiary guarantors and furnishing notices and other information. The Note Purchase Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur liens, transfer or sell assets, engage in certain mergers and consolidations and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Note Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of 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, as of the end of any fiscal quarter to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, (ii) its interest coverage ratio as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement as of the end of any fiscal quarter for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 2.50 to 1 or (iii) priority debt at any time to exceed 25% of consolidated net worth, as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Note Purchase Agreement.

8.Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Risks

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to outstanding variable rate debt and adverse movements in the related short-term market rates. The most significant component of the Company’s interest rate risk relates to amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, which totaled $112.5 million at September 30, 2014. The Company currently has a higher level of fixed rate debt, which limits the exposure to adverse movements in interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Management

The Company generates a substantial portion of its revenues and expenses in international markets, principally Germany and other countries in the European Union, Switzerland and Japan, which subjects its operations to the 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 exchange rates 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. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, the instrument is recorded at fair value with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company had the following notional amounts outstanding under foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (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 $29.7 million for the delivery of products and $9.7 million for the purchase of products at September 30, 2014 and $21.7 million for the delivery of products and $9.5 million for the purchase of products at December 31, 2013. The changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded as foreign currency exchange gains/losses in Interest and Other Income (Expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Commodity Price Risk Management

The Company has an arrangement with a customer under which it has a firm commitment to deliver copper based superconductors at a fixed price. In order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in the price of copper have on the Company’s sales of these superconductors, the Company enters into commodity hedge contracts. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had fixed price commodity contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The changes in the fair value of these commodity contracts are recorded in Interest and Other Income (Expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

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

The impact on net income of unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are as follows (in millions):

The amounts related to derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in Interest and Other Income (Expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

9.Provision for Income Taxes

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

The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.7 million and $9.9 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 30.0% and 36.9%, respectively.  The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $24.7 million and $24.9 million respectively, representing effective tax rates of 42.7% and 35.2%, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited domestic losses. The Company’s effective tax rate may change over time as the amount or mix of income and taxes changes amongst the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, of approximately $31.7 million and $32.7 million, respectively, of which $13.8 million and $14.1 million, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $3.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was included in other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million were recorded in the provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.3 million and $(0.1) million were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The Company files tax returns in the United States, which include federal, state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company considers Germany, the United States and Switzerland to be its significant tax jurisdictions.  The tax years 2009 to 2013 are open tax years in these significant jurisdictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company settled a tax audit in the United States for the tax year 2010.  The amount of the settlement was immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Tax years 2011 to 2013 remain open for examination in the United States.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered normal to its businesses may be pending from time to time against the Company. The Company believes the outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accruals recorded for such potential contingencies were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Internal Investigation and Compliance Matters

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, assisted by independent outside counsel and an independent forensic consulting firm, conducted an internal investigation in response to anonymous communications received by the Company alleging improper conduct in connection with the China operations of the Company’s Bruker Optics subsidiary. The Audit Committee’s investigation, which began in 2011 and was completed in the first quarter of 2012, included a review of compliance by Bruker Optics and its employees in China and Hong Kong with the requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other applicable laws and regulations.

Also as previously reported, the investigation found evidence indicating that payments were made that improperly benefited employees or agents of government-owned enterprises in China and Hong Kong. The investigation also found evidence that certain employees of Bruker Optics in China and Hong Kong failed to comply with the Company’s policies and standards of conduct. As a result, the Company took personnel actions, including the termination of certain individuals. The Company also terminated its business relationships with certain third party agents, implemented an enhanced FCPA compliance program, and strengthened the financial controls and oversight at its subsidiaries operating in China and Hong Kong. During 2011, the Company also initiated a review of the China operations of its other subsidiaries, with the assistance of an independent audit firm. On the basis of this review, the Company identified additional employees in Bruker subsidiaries operating in China who failed to comply with the Company’s policies and standards of conduct, and took additional personnel actions at certain of its subsidiaries.

In August 2011, the Company voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to advise both agencies of the internal investigation by the Audit Committee regarding the China operations of the Company’s Bruker Optics subsidiary.  In October 2011, the Company reported the existence of the internal investigation to the Hong Kong Joint Financial Intelligence Unit and Independent Commission Against Corruption (“ICAC”).  The Company has cooperated with the United States federal agencies and Hong Kong government authorities with respect to their inquiries and has provided documents and/or made witnesses available in response to requests from the governmental authorities reviewing this matter. The FCPA and related statutes and regulations provide for potential monetary penalties as well as criminal and civil sanctions in connection with FCPA violations.

The Company has been advised that the ICAC has completed its review and does not plan to take any action against the Company. The Company is engaged in discussions with Staff of the SEC to resolve the matters under investigation. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company accrued $2.4 million recorded within Interest and Other Income (Expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income representing the Company’s best estimate of probable loss associated with this matter. The Company will continue to evaluate the accrual pending final resolution of the investigation and the related discussions with the SEC and DOJ.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had bank guarantees of $145.7 million and $171.2 million, respectively, for its customer advances. These arrangements guarantee the refund of advance payments received from customers in the event that the merchandise is not delivered or warranty obligations are not fulfilled in compliance with the terms of the contract. These guarantees affect the availability of the Company’s lines of credit.

11.Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in other comprehensive income, 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 (loss) (in millions):

The following is a summary of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, at September 30, 2014 (in millions):

12.Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries. The following table sets forth the changes in noncontrolling interests (in millions):

13.Other Charges

The components of Other Charges were as follows (in millions):

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing in 2013 and 2014, the Company commenced productivity improvement initiatives at both BSI and BEST in an effort to better optimize its operations.  These restructuring initiatives include the divestiture of certain non-core businesses, outsourcing of various manufacturing activities, transferring or ceasing operations at certain facilities and an overall right-sizing within the Company based on the then current business environments.

The Company recorded total restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $16.2 million and $29.3 million, respectively, related to these initiatives, all within BSI.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the charges consisted of $10.1 million of inventory provisions for excess inventory, $4.1 million of severance costs and $2.0 million of exit related costs, such as professional service and facility exit charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the charges consisted of $12.1 million of inventory provisions for excess inventory, $11.3 million of severance costs and $5.9 million of exit related costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has recorded restructuring charges of $13.4 million and $22.3 million, respectively, as a component of Cost of Revenue and $2.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, as a component of Other Charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

In July 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan (the Plan) to divest certain assets and implement a restructuring program in the CAM division within the Bruker CALID Group. The Plan was developed as a result of management’s conclusion that the CAM business would be unable to achieve acceptable financial performance in the next two years. Divestment and restructuring actions in connection with the Plan are expected to result in a reduction of CAM’s employee headcount by approximately 200 people. Restructuring and other one-time charges in connection with the Plan through the first half of 2015, including costs recorded in the third of quarter of 2014, are expected to be between $25 and $30 million, of which $8 to $11 million relate to employee separation and facility exit costs, and $17 to $19 million are estimated for inventory write-downs and asset impairments. The current expected restructuring and other one-time charges in connection with the Plan are lower than previously announced due to divestiture activity noted below.

Included in the total restructuring charges discussed above are restructuring expenses recorded during the third quarter of 2014 specifically related to the Plan of $13.1 million, consisting of $10.1 million for inventory write-downs and $3.0 million of severance and exit costs, of which $11.1 was recorded as a component of Cost of Revenue and $2.0 million as a component of Other Charges, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.  The Company determined the approval of the Plan was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the long-lived assets, which included property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, within the CAM division for recoverability. The Company performed a valuation during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and determined that certain long-lived assets were impaired. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $6.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, consisting of $5.5 million of property, plant and equipment, and $1.4 million of definite-lived intangible assts. This impairment charge is included as a component of Other Charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

In addition, in September 2014 the Company divested the assets of the CAM division’s Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) product line.  The gain on sale of the product line of $8.7 million has been recorded as part of Interest and Other Income (Expense), net within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

16.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC Topic 605. The new guidance was the result of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop common revenue standards for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the new guidance is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of the new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, an amendment to ASC Topic 205.  Under the amendment, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity are required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  The amendment also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as individually significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted this amendment in the second quarter of 2014 and has incorporated the guidance within its financial statements and related footnote disclosures. The adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes, an amendment to ASC Topic 740 related to the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under this amendment, an unrecognized tax benefit is to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2014.  The adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.
