A Record Year for ZEISS
OBERKOCHEN, Germany, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The ZEISS Group ended fiscal year 2020/21 (end of reporting period: 30 
September 2021) on an excellent note: its revenue rose by 20% to 7.529 billion 
euros (previous year: 6.297 billion euros). Over 90% of this sum was generated 
in markets outside Germany. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) also 
achieved a new high, reaching 1.479 billion euros (prior year: 922 million 
euros). The EBIT margin was 20%. Incoming orders increased to 8.974 billion 
euros (prior year: 6.814 billion euros).

"2021 is a very special year for ZEISS. 175 years ago, Carl Zeiss laid the 
foundations for a company that has grown into a technology leader and proves 
time and again that it can push the limits of what is technically feasible. We 
are of course particularly delighted to have achieved record results once again 
in our anniversary year," said Dr. Karl Lamprecht, ZEISS President and CEO. 
"While there is certainly room to improve in a number of areas, double-digit 
growth across all four ZEISS segments demonstrates that we are on the right 
path thanks to our balanced portfolio and our ZEISS Agenda. Upwards of 35,000 
employees, a high capacity for innovation, as well as excellently aligned 
segments and all regions contribute to this growth."
