The half-yearly financial report of PLANOPTIK AG is available for download at:
https://www.planoptik.com/de/investor_relations/
PLANOPTIK AG increased its consolidated turnover for the first half of 2026 to EUR 6,240 thousand in accordance with IFRS. In the first half of 2025, turnover stood at EUR 5,903 thousand.
For the full year 2026, consolidated turnover growth of more than EUR 1 million compared with the previous year is still expected. This is because key customers of PLANOPTIK AG have completed their stock reduction and increased their call-offs. In the 2025 financial year, consolidated turnover stood at EUR 11,274 thousand.
PLANOPTIK AG is currently preparing for the wafer-based series production of components with several new customers. Subject to a successful ramp-up of series production, PLANOPTIK AG expects these new customer relationships to have a significant impact on Group turnover in the coming years. Whilst these new customers are likely to have only a moderate impact on growth in the current financial year, the expected ramp-up of series production from 2027 onwards is anticipated to result in a further significant increase in Group turnover.
In the first half of 2026, the Group’s EBITDA under IFRS stood at EUR 980 thousand (previous year: EUR 900 thousand), EBIT at EUR 228 thousand (previous year: EUR 185 thousand), EBT at EUR 116 thousand (previous year: EUR 130 thousand) and the Group’s profit for the period at EUR 100 thousand (previous year: EUR -40 thousand). The expansion of production capacity and the workforce, as well as the intensification of sales and marketing activities, influenced the results in the first half of 2026. This was compounded by general cost increases.
For the current full year 2026, PLANOPTIK AG expects a significant increase in EBT compared with the previous year – in which consolidated EBT stood at EUR -15 thousand – despite the Group’s expansionary course. However, the growth strategy will continue to weigh on earnings. PLANOPTIK AG is currently making major efforts to expand its production capacities – such as the ongoing construction of two new cleanrooms in Germany and Hungary – and to increase its market presence.
