At EUR 443 million, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were significantly higher than the previous year (EUR 380 million).

“We believe the positive development during the first six months of the year can be attributed to our successful innovation activities, the consistent alignment of our portfolio with global megatrends and our focus on the most attractive and most dynamic future markets,” says CEO Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke.

For this fiscal year, ZEISS predicts revenue of over EUR 6 billion and a similar EBIT margin to the previous year.
