Jena, 18 July 2014: Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ISIN: DE0005313704) reports
revenue of approx. EUR 673.7m after 9M 2013/14 based on preliminary data.
This corresponds to a growth rate of 3.8% vs. the previous year's level.
Growth at constant currencies amounted to 7.3%.
 
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 92.1m after 9M
2013/14. This corresponds to a slight decline of 1.4% vs. the previous
year's level.

Earnings per share (EPS) after 9M 2013/14 amounted to EUR 0.71. This
corresponds to a decline of approx. 13% vs. the previous year's level. The
decline was mainly attributable to a negative result from currency hedging
within the third quarter, compared to a markedly positive result from
currency hedging in the previous year's quarter.

The 9M 2013/14 quarterly report will be published on 14 August 2014.
