No.: Page: Date: 29/2011 4 of 5 09.11.2011 over the medium and long term. At the end of the 3 rd quarter 2011, sales at 130.5 million euros were up 4.1 percent on the same period in the previous year (prev. year 125.4 million euros). The segment EBIT totaled 5.8 million euros, up slightly on the figure for the previous year (prev. year 5.4 million euros). The order intake recorded a sharp increase of 64.0 percent to 215.0 million euros (prev. year 131.1 million euros) and included several major orders, amongst others for the US American Patriot air defense missile system as well as for components and subsystems for the PUMA, the new armored fighting vehicle for the German Army. The growth in order intake was therefore at a markedly higher rate than that of sales, the order backlog as at September 30, 2011 increased by 39.4 percent to 296.3 million euros (31.12.2010: 212.6 million euros). Outlook for 2011: Group EBIT for the full year 2011 is to exceed the figure of the previous year by more than 50 percent and come in at approx. 44 million euros. “The first nine months of our fiscal year have been successful. In addition, in the 3 rd quarter the economic environment had no significant impact on our business, apart from the anticipated return to the normal level of demand in our Optical Systems division,” said Michael Mertin, summarizing the situation. Jenoptik expects a continuation of the positive development in the operating business in the current 4 th quarter, although the development of business in the Lasers & Optical Systems segment is anticipated to continue returning to normal. Sales for the full year 2011 are expected to come in at approx. 525 million euros (prev. year 479 million euros excluding the discontinued business division). Thanks to the very good results in the first ten months of the current 2011 fiscal year Jenoptik now forecasts a Group EBIT for the full year 2011 of approx. 44 million euros. This corresponds to an increase of more than 50 percent. The comparison basis for the 2010 fiscal year is the Group EBIT, excluding the discontinued business division, in the sum of 29.0 million euros. As a result of the very good 1 st quarter 2011, in May 2011 Jenoptik had already raised the original forecast results announced in March 2011. All three segments are expected to contribute to the improvement in the results. Jenoptik Chairman Michael Mertin: “On the earnings side, in 2011 we will post the best fiscal year in the recent history of Jenoptik. With our new financing and the investment decisions we have taken we are also optimistic for the 2012 fiscal year despite the current general economic uncertainties. Note: The figures of the previous year (except for the cash flow) for the Group and the Defense & Civil Systems division have been adjusted for the discontinued business division.
