Zumtobel: Lightning group Zumtobel successfully continued the positive trend from the past two financial years with its business performance in 2021/22. Revenues nearly matched the level prior to the outbreak of the corona pandemic: Group revenues rose by 9.9% to EUR 1,148.3 million (2020/21: EUR 1,044.5 million). This positive development was also reflected in EBIT, which increased to EUR 60.8 million and marked the best operating results in the past five years. The EBIT margin equalled 5.3%. The Zumtobel Group also exceeded its own goals for 2021/22 – the original forecast called for revenue growth of 4% to 7% and an EBIT margin of 4% to 5%. The development of revenues supported an increase in Group EBIT to EUR 60.8 million in 2021/22 (2020/21: EUR 43.4 million) and an improvement in the return on sales from 4.2% to 5.3%. Net income increased only marginally to EUR 45.8 million (2020/21: EUR 45.6 million). "We have a very good year behind us and want to share this success with our shareholders. Our recommendation to the annual general meeting will therefore include an increase in the dividend to EUR 0.35 for the 2021/22 financial year. That represents roughly 33% of net profit", Alfred Felder, CEO of the Zumtobel Group stated. The Management Board of the Zumtobel Group expects an increase of 3% to 6% in revenues and an EBIT margin of 4% to 5% for the 2022/23 financial year.
