Programs for increasing efficiency bear fruit
OBERKOCHEN, GERMANY – 29 April 2016. The ZEISS Group has ended the first six months of fiscal year 2015/16 (ended 31 March) with an increase in revenue which rose by 5 percent over the previous year to €2.322 billion (first half of 2014/15: €2.206 billion). At €280 million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were almost 90 million above the previous year's figure (€191 million). "The first half of the year went well overall. We achieved particularly strong growth in the Medical Technology and Research & Quality Technology segments," said Dr. Michael Kaschke, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss AG. "In addition, the programs initiated to increase the company's competitiveness are bearing fruit."
ZEISS has a global workforce of 25,310 people. Expenditure on research and development activities totaled €207 million. Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to €54 million.
"As we are continuing to consistently optimize our cost structures and efficiency, we predict a slight increase in both revenue and the EBIT margin overall in 2015/16," says Kaschke.
