Frank Laukien, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bruker BioSciences and Bruker Daltonics, added: "In the second quarter 2003, the economic climate for life-science tools was difficult.

While we normally have a reasonable natural hedge against trans-Atlantic currency changes, the dramatic increase in the value of the Euro has presented some challenges for us. Fortunately, we had proactively pursued the recently closed merger which is expected to improve our future overall growth and cost structure. We have already identified significant cost improvements and are exploring additional cost saving opportunities as part of the merger."
