Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ISIN: DE0005313704) has achieved revenue of EUR 368.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020/21 (previous year: EUR 369.7 million). This corresponds to a revenue development of -0.2% vs. the past year (after adjustment for currency effects

: +2.6%).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)

amounted to EUR 73.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020/21 (previous year: EUR 56.8 million). EBIT margin (EBIT / revenue) was 19.9% (previous year 15.4%). EBIT development benefitted in part from lower sales and marketing expenses compared to the previous year’s period. In addition, EBIT includes a one-time gain from the sale of a property in the amount of around EUR 2.4 million in the current period.
Earnings per share (EPS)
[3]
amounted to EUR 0.52 (previous year: EUR 0.43).
Full results for the first quarter 2020/21 will be published on February 8, 2021.
During the further course of fiscal year 2020/21, the company expects the recovery in revenue and EBIT to continue compared to the previous year, which had seen a marked impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
