On July 4, ZUMTOBEL Group revealed its financial report for the 2021/22 fiscal year (May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022): Revenue increased by 9.9% to €1.1483 billion, surpassing pre-pandemic levels from the 2019/20 fiscal year.

It is worth noting that despite a challenging market environment, EBIT reached €60.8 million, representing a 40.1% increase compared to €43.4 million last year, achieving the best operating performance in the past five fiscal years. The revenue growth rate (9.9%) and EBIT margin (5.3%) both exceeded the targets set for the 2021/22 fiscal year (revenue growth of 4% to 7%, EBIT margin 4% to 5%).

ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团的两个业务部门都取得稳健增长：Lighting Segment部门的收入增长了6.4%，达到8.447亿欧元（2020/21财年：7.941亿欧元），Components Segment部门的收入增长了19.9%，达到3.63亿欧元。集团在欧洲的业务的收入实现了两位数的增幅，特别是在英国、法国、西班牙和意大利都保持了良好的发展势头，在亚太地区也实现了两位数的收入增长。

集团CEO Alfred Felder 表示：“我们度过了非常好的一年，并希望与我们的股东分享这一成功。因此，我们对年度股东大会建议将2021/22财年的股息提高至0.35欧元。这大约占净利润的33%” “这种良好的表现也凸显了ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团专注于创新、数字化和可持续发展的企业战略的成功”， Felder 补充道，并确认该战略将系统地继续下去，“尽管市场环境艰难，我们在2021/22财年仍投资6800万欧元用于研发。创新产品对集团未来的成功至关重要。”

Outlook for the future:

2021/22财年的持续改善表明，ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团正在实现可持续的盈利增长。原材料、运输和能源成本的上升以及半导体供应问题对全球经济产生重大影响，进而影响ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团的发展。另外，目前也无法准确预测新冠肺炎疫情对未来经济的具体影响。然而，ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团自信有能力应对这些挑战。在此背景下，并考虑了上述不确定因素，ZUMTOBEL Group奥德堡集团的管理委员会预计2022/23财年的营业收入将增长3%至6%，EBIT利润率4%至5%。
