Carl Zeiss Meditec achieves EBIT margin of 18.1% in fiscal year 2018/19

Jena, October 23, 2019

As already announced on October 2, 2019, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ISIN: DE0005313704) has achieved revenue of EUR 1,459 million in fiscal year 2018/19 (past year: EUR 1,280.9 million) and has significantly expanded EBIT[1] margin[2], exceeding the initial forecast of 15.0% to 17.5%. Based on today's new assessment, EBIT for fiscal year 2018/19 amounted to approx. EUR 264 million (past year: EUR 197.1 million), leading to an EBIT margin of 18.1%.

Upon publication of preliminary results on October 2, 2019, the company had anticipated a still higher EBIT margin for fiscal year 2018/19.

The shortfall was caused by higher operating expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018/19, in part driven by the already announced higher investments in the fields of Surgical Ophthalmology and Digitalization.

Final results for fiscal year 2018/19 will be provided on December 6, 2019.
