The LUMIBIRD Group’s consolidated revenues for the first six months of 2021 climbed to €75.5m, up 65% based on reported data and +13% pro forma, including Ellex’s laser and ultrasound activities at January 1. As a significant percentage of sales is generated in US dollars, the change at constant exchange rates represents +16%, after offsetting negative exchange effects for €1.6m. LUMIBIRD is confirming the Group’s robust development, with double-digit growth for both of its divisions.

For the Photonics division, the Industrial and Scientific business is continuing to see strong growth (+39% to €17.1m), thanks in particular to the acceleration of OEM sales for medical and flatscreen applications. The Lidar business (-17% to €7.4m) is building on the trend from the first quarter, marked by an upturn in sales of lasers to integrators, particularly in the autonomous vehicle sector, offset by a contraction in deliveries of Lidar systems to end users, due to sourcing delays. The Defense / Space business, freed up from the base effect linked to the MegaJoule contract, is reporting significant progress (+18% to €10.1m).

The Medical division achieved +158% growth based on reported data and +11% pro forma. Adjusted for foreign exchange effects and the Libyan contract for €0.85m, pro forma growth came to 16%. The strong progress with the Medical business during the second quarter (+25% pro forma) reflects the catch-up effect compared with the period that was relatively marked by the health crisis in 2020, as well as the continued deployment of commercial synergies supporting cross-selling for the Lumibird and Ellex ranges in all of the Group’s subsidiaries.

Following double-digit organic growth for the first half of the year, LUMIBIRD is in line with its three-year growth targets announced at the start of 2021. The Group is also moving forward with its external growth, thanks to two acquisition projects (Saab and Cilas) launched in the Defense and Space sector during the first half of the year.
