OBERKOCHEN, Germany, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

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."
