Jenoptik AG
Investor Relations

In the realm of high-tech innovation, Jenoptik AG emerges as a compelling testament to German engineering prowess and strategic adaptation. Founded in the wake of Germany's reunification, the company has evolved from its origins as a state-owned optics manufacturer to a global player in the photonics industry. Its journey reflects a masterful navigation through technological advancements and market demands. Headquartered in Jena, often dubbed the "City of Light," Jenoptik has capitalized on the region's rich optical heritage. The firm now boasts an impressive portfolio spanning metrology, laser technology, and optical systems, catering to industries ranging from healthcare and automotive to security and defense.

Jenoptik operates through a diversified business model, split into three primary divisions: Light & Optics, Light & Production, and Light & Safety. Each division plays a pivotal role in sustaining its revenue streams. For instance, the Light & Optics segment thrives by serving semiconductor equipment manufacturers with precision optics and complex optical systems. Meanwhile, the Light & Production arm supports the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors with automation solutions that enhance manufacturing processes. The Light & Safety division complements these endeavors by providing traffic safety and public security solutions. This multifaceted approach not only anchors Jenoptik's footing in existing markets but also equips it to explore emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Through its blend of innovative products and strategic market positioning, Jenoptik continues to shape its path as a leader in the dynamic world of photonics.

AI Summary
Q2 2025

H1 Weakness: Jenoptik reported most key metrics down year-over-year in the first half, with revenue, order intake, and EBITDA all declining compared to last year.

Q2 Improvement: The second quarter showed sequential improvement across order intake, revenue, and EBITDA versus Q1, particularly driven by a rebound in the Semi business.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow was a bright spot, increasing compared to the prior year, helped by stricter cost and cash management.

Guidance Narrowed: Management now expects full-year revenue and EBITDA margin to come in at the lower half of their previous guidance range, citing persistent market uncertainty.

Cost Discipline: Headcount was reduced by 3% year-over-year, and cash conversion rate improved from 41% to 55%.

Tariff Impact: US tariffs are expected to reduce margins by about 50 basis points this year, mainly impacting the Metrology & Production Solutions (MPS) business.

End-Market Trends: Biophotonics and Smart Mobility performed well, while Semi and Metrology segments remained challenged. Defense-related demand is growing but remains a small revenue share.

Outlook Cautious: Management sees some positive momentum but emphasizes high volatility, especially in Semi, and says forecasting beyond 2025 is extremely difficult.
