Good overall result and revenue growth for the ZEISS Group
ZEISS Group revenue increased to just under 11 billion euros (10.894 billion euros), (up 8% on the prior year) – EBIT 1,444 million euros (prior year: 1,686 million euros, EBIT margin 13%). Mixed development in the segments. High spend on research and development equivalent to 15% of revenue, more than 46,000 employees worldwide.
- Increasingly challenging market environment for the direct-to-market segments
- Strong growth in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology segment
- Outlook requires reinforcement of resilience measures

Overall, ZEISS can look back on a very successful fiscal year 2023/24. The Group's revenue rose to 10.894 billion euros (prior year: 10.108 billion euros, up 8%). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) totaled 1.444 billion euros (prior year: 1.686 billion euros) with an EBIT margin of 13%. All four segments of the ZEISS Group contributed to this growth. The challenges posed by geopolitical tensions and the current weaker global economic situation have, however, intensified and impacted the segments to varying degrees.
“Overall, we ended fiscal year 2023/24 with a good result and revenue growth. At the same time, it was not possible for all areas to escape the impact of current developments on the global markets,” said Dr. Karl Lamprecht, President and CEO of ZEISS. "Our success is based on our enormous innovative strength. To make sure it stays that way, we have spent a record 15% of revenue on research and development – and thus more than ever before – and also invested in the targeted expansion of personnel and infrastructure.”

Canada must reduce reliance on extractive industries and U.S. exports, report finds22.4.2025 08:34:18 CEST | Press Release
Los Angeles/Ottawa (DNA) - From dissatisfaction with the Trudeau government to dissatisfaction with Trump’s policies — compounded by general anxiety around tariffs, the economy and a deteriorating relationship with the U.S. — navigating an economic downturn should be an immediate priority for Canada as it heads into a federal election, a new report recommends. In the long-term, however, it says Canada will need greater economic diversification and regional representation. “Although it is wealthy by global standards, Canada’s economy faces key vulnerabilities such as excessive reliance on extractive industries, shortages of critical goods like housing and heavy dependence on exports to the U.S.,” states a Canada BGI Report on the country’s governance performance, released a little more than ten days before the April 28 federal election. The report, based on the Berggruen Governance Index (BGI), was conducted by researchers from the Los Angeles-based Berggruen Institute think tank, the L
