2017. December 13. 11:00
Stuttgart, Germany, 13 December, 2017(APA/OTS) - Investments and
innovations lead to best results in the company's more than
170-year history.
In the past 2016/17 fiscal year (ended 30 September 2017),
ZEISS increased both its revenue and earnings to a record level:
revenue rose by 10 percent to EUR 5.348 billion (prior year: EUR
4.881 billion). At EUR 770 million, earnings before interest and
tax (EBIT) were significantly above the already high level of the
previous year (615 million). The EBIT margin has increased to over
14 percent. Order intake grew by a healthy 12 percent and is now at
EUR 5.625 billion, underscoring the growth ambitions of the
technology company.
"All four segments - Research & Quality Technology, Medical
Technology, Vision Care/Consumer Products and Semiconductor
Manufacturing Technology - are either at or above their target
returns," said Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke, President & CEO of Carl
Zeiss AG.
ZEISS generates just under 90 percent of its business outside
Germany. Asia/Pacific (APAC) remains the largest growth region with
a revenue of EUR 1.270 billion (+15%).
For fiscal year 2017/18, ZEISS anticipates a slight organic
increase in revenue and a similar EBIT margin.
