The ZEISS Group is continuing its growth trajectory: Revenue
increased by nine percent to EUR 5.817 billion (previous year: EUR
5.348 billion). After currency adjustments, revenue rose by 12
percent. With earnings, it was possible to fully compensate for the
unfavorable currency effects. Thus, at EUR 772 million, earnings

previous year (EUR 770 million). The EBIT margin was 13 percent.
Incoming orders increased by seven percent, totaling EUR 6.046

"All ZEISS segments and regions contributed to this outstanding
result. Our innovative products for the semiconductor industry and
medical technology in particular ensured significantly greater,
above-market growth dynamics," says Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke,
President & CEO of ZEISS.
"With our consistent focus on innovations, investments and
expansion, we have our sights set squarely on our goal of achieving
six billion in revenue" says Kaschke, looking ahead to fiscal year
2018/19.
