Strategy and targets
Sustainable profitable growth as an expert in photonics
With the new Agenda 2025 “MORE VALUE” Jenoptik is focusing on sustainable profitable growth in photonic core markets
With its new growth agenda, Jenoptik will further accelerate its transformation into a globally leading, pure photonics group. The core of the “MORE VALUE” agenda is the group’s focus on the three high-growth future markets of semiconductors/electronics, life science/medical technology and smart mobility.
Jenoptik expects substantial organic revenue growth from this, which is to be supplemented by further acquisitions. Taking into account potential divestments (incl. VINCORION) and acquisitions, Jenoptik expects average annual revenue growth of around 8 percent, or around EUR 1.2 billion by 2025.
An improved product mix with a successive increase in the proportion of higher-margin products is expected to bring an additional boost in profitability to an EBITDA margin of around 20 percent. The ROCE (without goodwill) is expected to reach approx. 20 percent.

Outlook for the fiscal year 2023
Significant revenue increase and margin improvement expected
Based on the good order intake, the high order backlog, and good ongoing developments in the core photonics businesses, especially in the semiconductor equipment sector, the Executive Board of JENOPTIK AG is confident of further profitable growth in the fiscal year 2023. Jenoptik is therefore anticipating revenue of 1,050 million euros to 1,100 million euros and an EBITDA margin of 19.0 to 19.5 percent for 2023. Jenoptik will continue to invest in the expansion of its production capacities, and therefore expects investments in fiscal year 2023 to be significantly up on the prior-year figure of 106.0 million euros.
This forecast presupposes that geopolitical risks do not worsen. These include, for example, the Ukraine conflict with the sanctions that have been put in place and potential impacts on price developments, energy supplies, and supply chains. Potential portfolio changes are not included in this forecast.
