German technology company ZEISS Group has reported its financial results for the 2024/25 fiscal year, ending on Thursday 18 December, 2025. The company announced a total revenue of 11.896 billion euros, an increase of 9% from the previous year, with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reaching 1.552 billion euros.
Despite the solid growth, ZEISS Group faced a mixed picture in all four segments, reflecting the challenges of the geoeconomic and geopolitical landscape. President and CEO Andreas Pecher stated, “ZEISS is still operating in a dynamic and challenging business environment,” citing increasing tensions and conflicts between major economic regions as impacting the willingness of industry to invest.
In response to these challenges, ZEISS Group implemented targeted resilience measures and invested in research and development, with expenditures reaching 15% of revenue. “There was increased uncertainty in the markets in the past fiscal year. This required us to adapt strategic activities and strengthen targeted resilience measures,” Pecher explained.
The semiconductor manufacturing technology segment showed the strongest growth, with revenue increasing by 23% to 5.055 billion euros. The industrial quality & research segment saw a slight decrease of 1% in revenue, while the medical technology and consumer markets segments experienced growth of 4% and 2% respectively.
