According to initial figures, EBT was thus slightly below the same period of the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of 2025 was still impacted by a subdued industrial environment, including low demand for sensor technology for the automotive industry. In addition, there were one-time expenses for the upcoming switch to the regulated market and the transition to IFRS. Further one-time expenses arose from the simplification of the Group\u2019s structures.<\/p>\n<p>For the full year 2025, PLANOPTIK continues to expect consolidated sales revenues of between EUR 12 million and EUR 13 million. However, the difficult macroeconomic conditions, which are persisting longer than expected, could mean that the Group only achieves sales revenues at the lower end of the forecast or even below it. The effects of US tariffs and the low dollar exchange rate are also having a negative impact.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to previous expectations, the Group\u2019s earnings before taxes for the full year 2025 are no longer expected to rise moderately, but are likely to remain at the previous year\u2019s level or below.<\/p>\n<p>PLANOPTIK is currently investing heavily in further expansion and the expansion of production in order to be prepared for significant growth. This is necessary because several customers are currently preparing to launch new series products with components from PLANOPTIK. However, it is becoming apparent that the significant revenue effects of this will only take effect from next year onwards. Accordingly, a significant increase in sales and earnings is still expected for the 2026 fiscal year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elsoff, 22.08.2025 \u2013 In the first half of 2025, the  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ir-news-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
