JENA, 9 December 2022

 

Carl Zeiss Meditec generated revenue of around €1,903m in fiscal year 2021/22 (prior year: €1,647m), corresponding to growth of +15.5% (adjusted for currency effects: +13.3%). Orders received increased even more significantly to around €2,251m (+30.1%, adjusted for currency effects: +27.7%). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased to around €397m (prior year: €374m). The EBIT margin was 20.9% (prior year: 22.7%).

Dr. Markus Weber, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG: “Once again, we are looking back on a very successful fiscal year. Given the heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic risks and the rising inflation rate, we are extremely satisfied with the result achieved. Due to the well filled order books and steady demand for our innovations, we are confident that we will remain on a growth course in 2022/23.”

Both strategic business units contribute to growth

Revenue in the strategic business unit (SBU) Ophthalmic Devices increased by +17.0% in fiscal year 2021/22 (adjusted for currency effects: +15.0%), to €1,469m (prior year: €1,256m). In particular the business with recurring revenue from consumables, implants and services made a significant contribution to this growth. Orders received increased from €1,319m to €1,721m, an increase of +30.5% (adjusted for currency effects: +28.3%). In addition to robust demand in the equipment and consumables business, this is also attributable to the increase in production and delivery time in the equipment business due to shortages in the global supply chains and materials procurement.
