JENOPTIK Aktiengesellschaft: Jenoptik raises EBITDA margin guidance for fiscal year 2026 to approximately 22 percent, following a strong third quarter

On October 21, 2026, JENOPTIK Aktiengesellschaft's Executive Board raised its forecast for the fiscal year 2026 EBITDA margin (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as a share of revenue) to around 22 percent, from 20 to 21 percent previously.

Key details

• Based on preliminary figures, the EBITDA margin was approximately 22 percent in the first nine months of 2026, compared with 17.5 percent in the prior year. Jenoptik says this was due, amongst other things, to a change in product mix.
• Jenoptik saw demand in its OEM businesses (products supplied to other manufacturers) in the first nine months of 2026, especially from the semiconductor equipment industry.
• Preliminary order intake for the first nine months of 2026 was 1.1 billion euros (prior year: 777.3 million euros).
• Preliminary nine-month group revenue was more than 800 million euros (prior year: 753.2 million euros), and EBITDA was almost 180 million euros (prior year: 131.8 million euros).
• The Executive Board still expects revenue growth of between 5 and 9 percent for 2026 compared with the prior year, unchanged from its earlier forecast.

What’s still pending

• The nine-month figures are preliminary. Jenoptik plans to publish its figures for the first nine months of 2026 on November 10, 2026.
• The margin and revenue growth figures for full fiscal year 2026 are Executive Board expectations, not results.
