PLANOPTIK AG has confirmed its preliminary consolidated figures in accordance with IFRS for the 2025 financial year, revealing a challenging period for the company. Consolidated revenue for 2025 stood at EUR 11,274 thousand, representing a decrease from the previous year's figure of EUR 11,858 thousand. This decline in revenue had a substantial impact on the company's profitability metrics across multiple measures. The company's EBITDA fell to EUR 1,602 thousand, significantly lower than the previous year's EUR 2,506 thousand. EBIT showed an even more dramatic decrease, standing at EUR 129 thousand compared to EUR 1,114 thousand in the prior year.
Perhaps most concerning was the company's EBT, which dropped to EUR -15 thousand from a positive EUR 1,032 thousand in the previous year. This resulted in a net profit for the year of EUR -59 thousand, a stark contrast to the previous year's profit of EUR 678 thousand. These financial results matter because PLANOPTIK AG operates in the specialized field of microsystems technology and the semiconductor industry, where precision manufacturing and technological advancement are critical. The company sets global standards in the use of glass in these industries, with manufacturers from over 40 countries using microstructured components from PLANOPTIK in their products.
These components are essential for state-of-the-art sensors, increasingly smaller microelectronics, and innovative applications in microfluidics for medical diagnostics and therapy. The implications of these financial results extend beyond the company's balance sheet. With more than 100 employees working with customers and partners to develop the latest products and ensure precise manufacture of microcomponents, the financial performance could impact research and development capabilities. The company's wafer-based production technologies enable fast and customized solutions for high production volumes, making financial stability crucial for maintaining technological leadership.
The full annual report will be published on 29 April 2026, providing more detailed insights into the company's performance and strategic direction.

The financial challenges highlighted in these preliminary figures raise questions about how the company will navigate the competitive landscape of microsystems technology while maintaining its position as an industry standard-setter.
