Bruker AXS cuts costs despite good quarter
Bruker AXS has announced a restructuring aimed at taking $2-3 million out of annual costs, despite exceeding expectations in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 ended 30th June. Revenues were up to 19% compared with a year ago at $24.0 million. Net income of $0.6 million improved compared with a net loss of &1.8 previously. 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. |
