    Light & Optics: Order intake significantly up on prior year at 269.6 million euros. All areas, including TRIOPTICS for the first time, contributed to the sharp rise in revenue.

Jenoptik Six - Month Report 2021

Business and Framework Conditions

Group Structure and Business Activity

Jenoptik is a global photonics group and a supplier of high-­ quality and innovative capital goods. The Group is thus primar­ ily a technology partner to industrial companies. In the Light & Safety and VINCORION divisions, the company is also a supplier to the public sector, in part indirectly through system integra- tors.

Jenoptik provides the majority of its products and services to the photonics market. Our key markets primarily include the semiconductor equipment industry, the medical technology, consumer electronics­ and electronics manufacturing, automotive and mechanical­ engineering, traffic, aviation, and security and defense technology industries.

The Jenoptik Group operates in the three following photonics divisions:

  • Light & Optics
  • Light & Production
  • Light & Safety.

In addition, its mechatronic activities are managed under the VINCORION brand.

The three photonics divisions build on extensive expertise in optics, sensors, imaging, robotics, data analysis, and human-­ machine interfaces.

This organizational structure enables a good market and customer-driven approach to doing business. Business operations have been consolidated according to a common understanding of markets and customers based on the same business models. This helps to increase the reach of our products and solutions and opens up improved growth opportunities.

More information on the Group structure and business activity can be found in the 2020 Annual Report, from page 78 on.

Purchases and sales of companies.

There were no company acquisitions or disposals in the first six months of 2021.

As it continues to focus its business on photonic applications, Jenoptik concluded an agreement on the sale of its crystal

growing­ business to Hellma Materials in early July 2021.

Also in July 2021, Jenoptik announced the sale of its non-­ optical process measuring technology business for grinding machines to Marposs, allowing it to sharpen its focus on those areas of metrology in which the Group is well positioned on the global market.

Targets and Strategies

The Jenoptik Share

At the heart of our strategy and future development is a concentration on photonic technologies for high-growth markets. Over the coming years, Jenoptik aims to push on with its plan to become a global, streamlined photonics company. Our main aim is to target markets where technological expertise justifies a price premium. Our solutions contribute to increased efficiency and precision of our customers' products and processes as well as to resource conservation and more sustainability. A concentration on optics and photonic technologies is at the heart of our "Strategy 2022," and we are also focused on inter­ nationalization and innovation. By 2022, we want to ­increase our R+D output, including developments on behalf of cus­ tomers, to around 10 percent of revenue. Diversity and inter­ national mindedness will also mark out Jenoptik more strongly than ever before.

In order to implement the growth strategy, we

  • are focusing on our core areas of expertise in the field of photonics and optics,
  • are actively managing our portfolio with a view to additional purchases as well as transformational acquisitions and selective divestments,
  • are continuing to work on further internationalization in
    conjunction­with greater vertical integration and customer proximity­ in our growth regions,
  • want to drive innovation even more strongly and be an
    innovation­ leader in our markets,
  • are ensuring greater sustainability and resource conservation, as well as helping to achieve global sustainability targets, with our photonic products and solutions,
  • are expanding our system and application expertise and
    developing­ as a solutions provider,
  • are continuing to steadily strengthen our financial resources, and
  • are promoting an active cultural change within the company.

For more information on the strategic trajectory of the Jenoptik Group, we refer to the 2020 Annual Report and the details given in the "Targets and Strategies" chapter from page 84 on, as well as on the Jenoptik website.

The mood on the capital markets remained positive in the first half-year of 2021, assisted by vaccination programs and the hope to overcome the coronavirus crisis and a return to

normalcy­ in economic activity. Signs of economic ­recovery and rising corporate profits, however, also caused share prices to rise. In the first six months, Germany's benchmark­ index, the Dax, rose 13.1 percent to 15,531.04 points. The German technology index (TecDax) stood at 3,564.07 points at the end of June 2021, a year-to-date gain of 9.8 percent. On the last day of trading in the second quarter, the SDax was up 7.9 percent, at 16,021.03 points.

Over the reporting period, the Jenoptik share was only party to the encouraging growth on the German stock market at times. After starting the first day of trading in 2021 with a closing price of 25.00 euros, the share made significant gains in the first two months, reaching its highest price of 29.96 euros on February 3. From late March on, however, it underperformed the indices, despite the announced growth in revenue and earnings in the current fiscal year. The share ended trading on June 30 at 23.06 euros, equating to a year-to-date fall of

7.8 percent. As of the end of June 2021, Jenoptik's market capitalization­ was 1,319.9 million euros.
