Marta Nazarovets Zaremba's questions to Bruker Corp (BRKR) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Marta Nazarovets Zaremba, on behalf of Rachel Vatnsdal, sought clarification on the tariff assumptions embedded in the updated guidance, specifically asking what rate is being modeled for Swiss imports and for broader details on other regions.
Answer
Chairman, CEO & President Frank Laukien stated that the guidance models a 15% tariff for Switzerland, in line with the EU. He noted that a worst-case 39% rate is not expected to materialize, as the company believes the final rate will be lower and, if necessary, it can shift production for the US market from Switzerland to its factories in Germany or France to mitigate the impact.
