Carl Zeiss Meditec AG FY 2024/25: Key TakeawaysCarl Zeiss Meditec FY 2024/25 Financial ResultsStrategic Realignment Drives Resilient Growth and Sets the Stage for Margin ExpansionIn its FY 2024/25 financial results presentation, Carl Zeiss Meditec Group demonstrates that it remains firmly positioned in structurally attractive global healthcare technology markets, while simultaneously acknowledging the need for sharper execution and strategic focus to unlock its full earnings potential. The year was marked by solid revenue growth, robust order intake, and the first tangible effects of a broader strategic realignment aimed at restoring profitability momentum over the medium term.Solid Top-Line Growth and Strong Order MomentumCarl Zeiss Meditec delivered reported revenue of approximately €2.23 billion in FY 2024/25, reflecting solid growth compared with the prior year. On a foreign-exchange adjusted basis, revenue growth was clearly positive, supported by a combination of organic demand and the full-year consolidation of DORC in Ophthalmology. Order intake developed particularly strongly, increasing at a double-digit rate year-on-year on a constant-currency basis, resulting in a healthy order backlog that underpins revenue visibility into the new fiscal year.Growth was broad-based across regions. EMEA and the Americas showed especially strong momentum, while Asia-Pacific continued to contribute meaningfully despite a more challenging environment in China. Importantly for investors, order entry growth outpaced revenue growth, signalling ongoing demand strength across key product categories and geographies.Earnings: Stable EBITA Amid Headwinds, Adjusted Margin ImprovementOn the profitability side, EBITA increased slightly year-on-year, landing broadly in line with management guidance. Reported EBITA margin declined modestly compared with the prior year, reflecting a combination of adverse foreign exchange effects, US tariff-related headwinds, and a prior-year one-off gain related to the Topcon settlement. On an adjusted basis, however, EBITA margin improved, underlining the underlying progress in operating efficiency.A key positive driver was the reduction in underlying operating expenses excluding DORC effects, particularly through lower R&D spending and reduced integration costs. This demonstrates early discipline in capital allocation and cost management, even as the company continues to invest selectively in future growth areas.Segment Performance: Ophthalmology Strengths Offsets Microsurgery TransitionOphthalmology remained the group's core earnings pillar. Consumables, premium intraocular lenses, and the full-year contribution from DORC drove revenue growth in this segment. Margin expansion in Ophthalmology was supported by operating leverage and improved cost discipline, reinforcing the segment's role as the primary value driver within the portfolio.Microsurgery, while showing a recovery in revenue momentum toward year-end, continued to face margin pressure due to product mix effects, delayed ramp-up of new systems, and ongoing investments in commercialization and market development. Management clearly positioned this as a transitional phase, with expectations of improved profitability as new products scale and operational measures take effect.....▶️ Other videos: Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/ Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/ Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/ Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/ T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

"Leadership is staying ahead of change without losing authenticity". "Trust is the real currency of sales, teams, and Japan's business culture". "Zeiss's foundation model is a rare advantage: patient capital reinvested into R&D". "Japan is less "risk-averse" than "uncertainty-avoidant" when decisions lack clarity and consensus". "Language is helpful for connection, but not the primary qualification for leading in Japan". Brief Bio Vincent Mathieu is the CEO of Carl Zeiss Japan, leading a multi-division portfolio spanning semiconductors, medical devices, microscopy, industrial quality solutions, ophthalmic lenses, and imaging optics. Originally from the south of France near the Basque Country, he studied business in Toulouse, then spent several years travelling and working across Morocco, Denmark, Ireland, Chile, and South America—discovering along the way that his core strength was building trust in sales. He first came to Japan in 2001 to launch and grow a new division, learning the realities of hiring, selling, and leading without fluency in Japanese. After returning to Europe for global and country leadership roles—including navigating a corporate receivership in the UK—he was recruited to Zeiss and returned to Japan for a second stint. There, he led a turnaround in the vision care business by rebuilding the team, premium positioning, and distribution strategy, then expanded to broader regional responsibilities before taking the top role in Japan, leading a larger organisation through compliance, regulatory, structural change, and remuneration reform. Carl Zeiss is often mistaken as "just cameras", yet the company's real gravity sits elsewhere: precision optics, industrial measurement, medical equipment, and the advanced semiconductor ecosystem that powers modern computing. Vincent Mathieu, CEO of Carl Zeiss Japan, uses that breadth as both a strategic advantage and a leadership test—because leading a portfolio business demands credibility across wildly different technical domains, from microscopy used by Nobel Prize-winning researchers to X-ray inspection systems supporting EV battery quality control. He also points to a structural difference that shapes Zeiss's long-term posture: the company operates as a foundation rather than a classic shareholder-led public entity, enabling sustained reinvestment into R&D and the patience required to develop complex innovations that may run at a loss for years before they become indispensable. In semiconductors, that mindset shows up in partnerships and breakthrough optics supporting lithography and EUV pathways tied to ever-smaller chips and AI-era demand. Mathieu's personal story mirrors the adaptive leadership he advocates. He describes an early uncertainty about career direction, a formative period of travel and "odd jobs", and a gradual shift into commercial roles where trust, not extroversion, became his sales engine. His first Japan assignment was a tough entry: conservative hiring conditions, limited language ability, and the slow build of distributor confidence—where one relationship took years to convert. Returning later via Zeiss, he expected a smoother "global" environment and instead found a familiar friction point: leadership without a shared language, competing internal politics, and the need to earn followership through visible effort. His approach was practical and gemba-oriented—going into the field with salespeople, learning enough Japanese to observe and debrief well, and leading by example rather than relying on title or hierarchy. In his current role, the leadership challenge is no longer a small turnaround team but a larger organisation navigating regulatory scrutiny, compliance expectations, talent gaps, and a shift from "box-moving" to workflow and digital solutions. He frames Japan's organisational reality as deeply sensitive to trust, transparency, and consistency—especially when change touches taboo areas such as pay. Whether the topic is performance-based remuneration, AI adoption, or organisation redesign, Mathieu returns to the same idea: leadership is change management plus authenticity. The most durable influence, in his view, comes from understanding who the leader is, then showing up coherently—because Japanese organisations may not offer immediate feedback, but they do evaluate whether words and actions match. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is uniquely shaped by trust, time, and social proof. Decision-making often relies on nemawashi (pre-alignment), the ringi-sho approval flow, and a preference for consensus that reduces future friction. Feedback can be indirect, and the "real signals" may appear later, after relationships deepen. Why do global executives struggle? Global leaders often struggle when they arrive expecting predictable "rules" about Japan, or when they assume a corporate title will create followership. Without local credibility, language bridges, and contextual awareness of honne/tatemae dynamics, even good strategies can stall. Impatience can be read as shitsukoi (pushy), yet excessive patience can also lead to inertia—forcing leaders to balance consistency with restraint. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Japan is frequently labelled risk-averse, but a more useful lens is uncertainty avoidance. When ambiguity is high, organisations increase process and consensus to control outcomes. Once clarity exists—shared numbers, shared logic, shared stakeholders—Japanese teams can execute decisively and at high quality, often outperforming more improvisational cultures. What leadership style actually works? A field-based, trust-building style works: lead by example, show operational commitment, and invest in relationships. Mathieu's experience suggests credibility is built through visible contribution—being present with customers, coaching sales behaviours, and demonstrating consistency. Authenticity matters: employees may accept difficult change if the leader is transparent, coherent, and reliably delivers on commitments. How can technology help? Technology helps when framed as decision intelligence rather than novelty. AI tools, automation, and even "digital twins" for process and manufacturing can reduce reporting burden, strengthen compliance, and redirect scarce talent towards analysis and customer value. The warning is "AI for AI's sake": capability must be learned, prompts must be mastered, and use cases must be chosen with discipline. Does language proficiency matter? Language matters for connection and cultural nuance, but it should not be the primary criterion for leading in Japan. A leader can choose English for clarity at scale—especially when communicating strategy—while still building trust through effort, respect, and selective Japanese usage in day-to-day engagement. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate lesson is that leadership is managing change while staying true to oneself. As confidence grows, leaders feel less pressure to perform to other people's expectations and more capacity to act with authenticity. That inner coherence becomes a stabiliser for teams navigating uncertainty, consensus-building, and transformation.

Sebastian Frericks, Head of Investor Relations atCarl Zeiss Meditec AG, presents theQ1 2024/25 financial results and discusses revenue growth, market challenges, and future strategies.At the start of the fiscal year,Carl Zeiss Meditec recorded a 3% revenue growth, primarily driven by theDOCTER OPTICS (DO) acquisition. However, underlyingorganic momentum remained negative, as anticipated. The company had previouslyguided for this decline in December, signalling a temporary headwind due to specific market conditions.Despite anegative investment climate in China, with hospitals delaying purchases while awaiting stimulus measures, Carl Zeiss Meditec has shown resilience. Last year's strong post-pandemic delivery phase also meant that this quarter faced a challenging comparison base, but the company has navigated these challenges with determination.Another key issue was theprice decline in intraocular lenses (IOLs) due to China'sVolume-Based Procurement (VBP) regulations, impacting pricing power in this segment. Despite these headwinds, thecompany's order backlog grew by nearly €100 million, reaching€382 million in Q1, signalling stronger demand for future quarters.Notably, the company reported itsfirst consistent order turnaround in 12–18 months, boosting confidence that organic performancehas bottomed out and is set for an upturn.Due to theweak organic performance and product mix effects, particularly lower sales ofhigh-margin surgical microscopes, Carl Zeiss Meditec'sEBITDA declined at the start of the fiscal year. However, theophthalmology division grew by 7%, primarily driven by theDO acquisition. This strategic growth, despite the decline, demonstrates thecompany's forward-thinking approach.Similarly, themicrosurgery division faceda 7.8% organic decline, mainly because of tough comparisons against a strong prior-year period driven by backlog clearance. However, the company is ramping up sales for the next-genKINEVO neurosurgical microscope, expected todrive recovery in the coming quarters.One of thebiggest developments in Q1 2024/25 was theearly approval of VISUMAX 800 in China. Thislatest-generation femtosecond laser system revolutionizes laser vision correction by enabling alenticular cut in 6–8 seconds, significantly enhancingsafety, automation, and patient comfort.Carl Zeiss Meditecmaintains a conservative full-year outlook, citinggeopolitical risks and macroeconomic uncertainties in China. However, stabilization signs insurgical procedure volumes suggest the marketmay have reached its lowest point.Key growth drivers moving forward:✅Stronger order backlog supporting future revenue momentum✅VISUMAX 800 launch in China & US driving market expansion✅KINEVO 900S rollout in neurosurgery boosting high-margin sales✅Potential public stimulus measures in China as a wildcard for upsideFrom amid-term perspective (3–5 years), Carl Zeiss Meditec aims forEBITDA margin recovery to 16–20%, depending onmarket recovery and product adoption.Carl Zeiss Meditec'sQ1 2024/25 results highlight atransitional phase—whileshort-term challenges persist, strategic investments in innovation and operational efficiency position the company forstronger performance ahead.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

For over a decade, an irreplaceable ring laser has been trapped in a cavern 30m below Christchurch port hills. The Carl Zeiss laser was installed in an old World War Two bunker in 1997 until a rockfall after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake sealed the cavern. But now it's been rescued and is fully operational. Professor Jon-Paul Wells is the principal investigator on the ring laser project.

Sean Comer, Dorian Price, Mik Wanamaker and Mark Radulich review movies currently on streaming services and in theaters: Clockwork Orange/Lolita/Eyes Wide Shut Movie Review! First up is A Clockwork Orange (1971). Then we move on to Lolita (1962). Finally we review Eyes Wide Shut (1999).Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor.A perfectionist who assumed direct control over most aspects of his filmmaking, Kubrick cultivated an expertise in writing, editing, color grading, promotion, and exhibition. He was famous for the painstaking care taken in researching his films and staging scenes, performed in close coordination with his actors, crew, and other collaborators. He frequently asked for several dozen retakes of the same shot in a movie, often confusing and frustrating his actors. Despite the notoriety this provoked, many of Kubrick's films broke new cinematic ground and are now considered landmarks. The scientific realism and innovative special effects in his science fiction epic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) was a first in cinema history, and the film earned him his only Academy Award (for Best Visual Effects). Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has referred to 2001 as his generation's "big bang" and it is regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release—particularly the brutal A Clockwork Orange (1971), which Kubrick pulled from circulation in the UK following a media frenzy—most were nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical re-evaluations. For the 18th-century period film Barry Lyndon (1975), Kubrick obtained lenses developed by Carl Zeiss for NASA to film scenes by candlelight. With the horror film The Shining (1980), he became one of the first directors to make use of a Steadicam for stabilized and fluid tracking shots, a technology vital to his Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket (1987). A few days after hosting a screening for his family and the stars of his final film, the erotic drama Eyes Wide Shut (1999), he died from a heart attack at the age of 70.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

ENTERTAINING SHORT FILMS is a new category on the RPA Network, which features indie short films for your enjoyment! We applaud these creators! In the 1970s a group of teenage girls test their nerve against the legendary Witch Tree, it is told to possess a dark ancient spirit with evil intentions. We shot this using a Panasonic GH4 and a variety of vintage Carl Zeiss lens from the 1960s.

Kai Ströder is the co-founder and CEO of tooz, a company on a mission to develop cost-effective smartglasses for consumers.Early in his career, Kai was a research fellow at the University of Stuttgart, where he also earned a Ph.D. in Strategic Management. Over the next decade, he worked across various groups at Carl Zeiss, the world's leading, high-end optics company.Among other projects, Kai has been responsible for activities in the field of augmented reality and data glasses. In 2018, he transferred the "Carl Zeiss Smart Optics" group, founded in 2015, to the joint venture "tooz technologies" initiated together with Deutsche Telekom. The tooz team, based in Germany, develops technologies and production processes for complete smart glass solutions geared toward the end consumer market.In this conversation, Kai shares the origin story for tooz within Carl Zeiss, and one key attribute of their approach that sets them apart from many competitors: namely, an uncompromising focus on manufacturability at scale.We go on to discuss some of the tradeoffs between diffractive waveguides, birdbath optics, and tooz's curved waveguides. Kai describes some innovative aspects of the design, their target use cases, and their very thoughtful go-to-market plan that focuses on the size of the glasses, affordability, and the ease of purchasing from your optometrist.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.
