PLANOPTIK AG Reports Stable Revenue Amidst Challenges

In the first half of 2025, PLANOPTIK AG maintained stable sales revenues but reported a slightly lower earnings before taxes (EBT) compared to the previous year. The company cited a subdued industrial environment and low demand for automotive sensor technology as contributing factors. One-time expenses related to regulatory market changes and group structure simplifications also impacted results.

For the full year 2025, PLANOPTIK expects consolidated sales between EUR 12 million and EUR 13 million. However, ongoing macroeconomic difficulties, US tariffs, and a low dollar exchange rate could push revenues towards the lower end of this range or below. Contrary to earlier forecasts, 2025 EBT is expected to remain at or below last year's level.

Investments are ongoing to support future growth, with several customers planning new product launches using PLANOPTIK components. Significant revenue and earnings growth are anticipated from 2026 onward.
