"We respectfully disagree with the District Court's decision to grant an injunction with respect to sales of GeoMx products to new customers in the United States and we expect to promptly seek a stay of any injunction that is finally ordered," said Todd Garland, President of the Bruker Spatial Biology division. "We also look forward to the appeal of our case being heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, a court that specializes in patent disputes. We remain steadfast in our view that the patents that were licensed by 10x and asserted against us are invalid and describe a fundamentally different method than what is used by the GeoMx system. We strongly believe that we should be vindicated on appeal. Bruker remains dedicated to ensuring that the scientific community has the freedom to select the best spatial biology platforms to advance their research."

Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKR#NASDAQ">BRKR</a>) posted better-than-expected third-quarter results, but lowered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRKR/earnings">its FY24 guidance on Tuesday.</a>
Bruker posted adjusted earnings of 60 cents per share, beating market estimates of 59 cents per share. The company posted sales of $864.400 million versus expectations of $859.384 million.
Frank H. Laukien, Bruker&#8217;s President and CEO, commented, &#8220;Despite biopharma and China recovery delays, orders for our differentiated post-genomic, multiomics, cleantech, semicon and diagnostics solutions are gradually improving, with upper mid-single digit BSI organic bookings growth in Q3 year-over-year. However, nascent biopharma and China recoveries will not benefit our fiscal year 2024 anymore, and accordingly we are lowering our FY2024 guidance. Integrating and improving our strategic acquisitions is making good progress and will further accelerate Bruker&#8217;s remarkable transformation. We are confident in our ability to drive above-market organic revenue growth with significant margin expansion in 2025.&#8221;
