| JENA/Germany, 22.04.2009. Despite the difficult conditions in several markets, Carl Zeiss Meditec showed a solid development in the first six months of the current fiscal year and successfully counteracted the effects of the weak economy. The company generated revenues of EUR 336.7 million (last year: EUR 299.4 million) in the first six months of fiscal year 2008/2009 (October 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009), corresponding to an increase of 12.5% over the same period last year. Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EbIT) were also very healthy and, contrary to the economic trend in many global markets, increased by more than 20% over the same period last year to EUR 38.9 million (EUR 32.1 million). “In light of the global economic situation, we are thoroughly satisfied with this development and see ourselves strengthened in our belief that, even in difficult times, it is possible to achieve solid and stable business development by focusing on the needs of customers, the innovative power of our own company and by implementing the right measures at the right time,” states Dr. Michael Kaschke, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG. “Therefore, as already announced, we can adhere to our ongoing dividend policy and have proposed to the General Meeting in 2009 a dividend payment in the amount of EUR 0.18 per share,” he continued. The complete 6 Month Report of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG will be published on May 14, 2009.
