1 Business and Framework Conditions

1.1 Group Structure and Business Activity

The Jenoptik Group operates in three segments

  • Optics & Life Science
  • Mobility as well as
  • Defense & Civil Systems.

Jenoptik is a globally operating integrated photonics group and a supplier of high-quality and innovative capital goods. The Group is thus primarily a partner for industrial companies. In the Mobility and Defense & Civil Systems segments, we are also a supplier to the public sector, in part indirectly through system integrators.

Our key markets primarily include the semiconductor equipment industry, medical technology, automotive, machinery engineering, traffic, aviation as well as security and defense technology.

Since January 1, 2016 and the launch of a new organizational structure, we have been aligning our business more closely with market requirements and have thus increased our customer reach. Business operations have been reorganized and thus better targeted at growth markets such as the medical technology, automotive and semiconductor equipment sectors.

1.2 Targets and Strategies

To promote sustainable and profitable growth, we have continued to make further headway on the Jenoptik Group's core strategic themes of internationalization, innovation and operational excellence. We are increasingly establishing ourselves as a strategic systems partner for international customers and together with them helping to shape forward-looking solutions.

We are working to achieve our growth strategy by

  • harmonizing our segments with growth markets and megatrends,
  • continuing to work on our process of internationaliza tion, together with greater vertical integration in the growth regions of the Americas and Asia/Pacific,
  • expanding our systems expertise,
  • extending our excellence program into new areas and
  • boosting our financial strength.

We want to enhance our organic growth with acquisitions.

Within the framework of its internationalization strategy, Jenoptik is investing around 14 million euros in the US location in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where a new, modern technology campus for metrology and laser processing systems is being built.

For more information on the strategic trajectory of the Jenoptik Group, we refer to the 2015 Annual Report published in March 2016 and the details given in the "Targets and Strategies" section from page 65 on.

1.3 Development of the Capital Market and the Jenoptik Share

Geopolitical events and turmoil in the Middle East con tinued to dominate developments on the international stock markets in the third quarter of 2016, while the US election campaign was responsible for some disarray on the financial markets. The European refugee crisis, terrorist attacks and the situation in Turkey were sources of consider able uncertainty, particularly in the first half-year. To help boost growth in the euro zone, the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced interest rates to zero for the first time in March, while increasing the scale of its bond purchase program to 80 billion euros a month. The most serious watershed moment, however, was "Brexit," the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU, decided by a referendum in late June.

The Dax reached its nine-month high of 10,753 points on September 7 and leveled out to close at 10,511 points on September 30, thus ending the period covered by the report with an increase of 2.2 percent. The TecDax took a similarly volatile course and gained 0.5 percent in value during the reporting period. It closed at 1,802 points on September 30, 2016.

In the first nine months, the Jenoptik share price was consistent with the development of the overall market. Starting at 14.59 euros on January 4, 2016, the share fell to its lowest level of 11.14 euros on February 11, 2016, before gaining ground to reach 16.27 euros on Septem ber 30, 2016 and thus closing the reporting period with an increase of 11.5 percent. In the first nine months of the fiscal year, the total shareholder return was 13.0 percent (prior year 21.4 percent). In the first three quarters, the Jenoptik share achieved its highest Xetra closing price of

16.65 euros on September 20. The Jenoptik share closed trading at 15.62 euros on October 31, 2016, representing an increase of 7.1 percent in the current year.

In January 2016, Oddo Asset Management reduced its stake in Jenoptik from 3.02 percent to 2.97 percent. Templeton Investment reduced its shareholdings from 5.09 percent to 4.69 percent in February 2016. At the beginning of November Norges Bank increased its share in Jenoptik to 3.06 percent.

On the TecDax, Jenoptik improved to 17th place (prior year 18th) in terms of free float market capitalization (89.0 percent) as of September 30, 2016, and was 21st in stockexchange turnover (prior year 20th).

At the 18th Annual General Meeting in Weimar on June 8, 2016, the shareholders agreed to pay out a dividend of 0.22 euros per share (prior year 0.20 euros). On the basis of the total dividend in the sum of 12.6 million euros, the payout ratio came to 25.4 percent of the earnings attri butable to shareholders achieved in 2015 (prior year 27.5 percent).

Sixteen research institutes and banks issued regular reports on Jenoptik. At the end of October, seven analysts recommended buying the share, while nine advised investors to hold their shares. As of October 31, 2016, the average price target issued by all analysts was 15.90 euros.

1.4 Development of the Economy as a whole and of the individual Jenoptik Sectors

The global economy did not grow as strongly as antici pated at the start of the year. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) noted subdued trading dynamics and industrial production in the first half of the year, which slightly accelerated recently. This brake on momentum was chiefly caused by weakness in the industrialized nations, especially the US. By contrast, the market reaction to the Brexit decision – apart from a noticeable drop in the value of the British pound – has had hardly any effects. Emerging countries reduced their investments on the back of lower oil prices.

Following a weak first half-year the gross domestic product (GDP) in the US grew to an annualized figure of 2.9 percent in the 3rd quarter 2016 and thus as fast as it last did two years ago. The growth was mainly affected by a rise in exports and public spending. Private consumption fell short of expectations.

The Chinese economy grew in the third quarter of 2016 by 6.7 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Driven by a healthy real estate market, it thus achieved the same figure as in the second quarter, although growth in business capital spending fell to its lowest figure in over 16 years in July. For the first nine months of 2016, this resulted in an overall drop in exports of 7.5 percent and in imports of 8.2 percent compared to the prior year.

The economies in the euro zone grew modestly in the last nine months. Following a figure of 0.6 percent in the first quarter GDP grew 0.3 percent in each of the next two quarters, according to Eurostat, the continent's sta tisti cal office. This weakness is primarily due to stagnating economies in France and Italy.

According to economists and institutes, the German econ omy is enjoying a moderate recovery, with exports, industrial production and orders in part above forecast figures by August. GDP rose just 0.4 percent in the second quarter, following 0.7 percent in the prior quarter; capital expenditure and industrial production had declined significantly.

In the "World market index optical technologies" the German industry association Spectaris compiles 16 international photonics companies, including Jenoptik. In the second quarter this index rose to 145.4 points and thus to

an all-time high. Compared with the prior quarter the value increased by 11.4 percent, compared with the same quarter in the prior year by 11.2 percent. At the time of reporting more recent figures were not available.

To date, the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) trade association has only published revenue figures in the semiconductor equipment industry for the second quarter: at 10.5 billion US dollars, global revenue was 26 percent above the prior quarter and 11 per cent below the quarterly figure in the prior year. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the global semiconductor industry generated 88.3 billion US dollars in the third quarter of 2016, 11.5 percent more than in the same period in the previous year. This figure, the highest so far for a quarter, confirmed the marked recovery of the industry in recent months.

According to the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) demand in the industry was weak. In the third quarter the order intake was 7 percent lower than in the prior year, which was in particular attributable to 12 percent lower domestic orders. In the nine-months period order intake showed no growth according to VDMA.

According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), China saw highly dynamic growth in the first nine months, with new registrations increasing by almost 18 percent, Western Europe and India were both also considerably up on the prior-year period, with figures of 7 and 9 percent respectively. By contrast, sales in the US were just below the prior-year figure, and the number of new registrations fell further in Russia and Brazil.

Market analysts from SCI Verkehr and McKinsey both assessed developments in the global railway technology industry on the occasion of the Innotrans trade fair in September. Following a period of growth, the industry is now suffering from considerable overcapacities, declining margins and increased competitive pressure. Due to shrink ing domestic investment, railway companies from China are particularly focusing on exports, in turn putting pressure on established railway technology manufacturers.

October saw the German government publish its Armaments Export Report on the German security and defense technology industry in the first half-year of 2016. Up to the end of June, individual export licenses for armaments worth 4.03 billion euros were granted, more than half a billion euros more than in the prior-year period.

2 Earnings, Financial and Asset Position

The tables in the Management Report, which show a breakdown of the key indicators by segment, include the Corporate Center, the Shared Service Center, real estate and consolidation effects under "Other".

2.1 Earnings Position

In the first nine months of the 2016 fiscal year, Jenoptik achieved a slight increase in revenue of 1.0 percent to 492.6 million euros (prior year 487.7 million euros). Growth was seen in the Optics & Life Science and Defense & Civil Systems segments. The rise in the prior year was in part attributable to positive currency effects due to the strong US dollar. Revenue in the third quarter was 3.4 percent lower than in the prior year due to invoice-timing reasons.

Compared to the first nine months of 2015, revenue in Germany rose by 9.4 percent to 171.1 million euros (prior year 156.4 million euros), and by 1.6 percent to 144.6 million euros in the rest of Europe (prior year 142.3 million euros). The Asia/Pacific region also saw significant revenue growth of 19.5 percent. In the Americas, by contrast, revenue was 11.2 percent down on the high prior-year figure, which in 2015 was the result of completed major orders in the Defense & Civil Systems segment. In the Middle East and Africa, too, revenue was down on the prior year, at 14.4 million euros, chiefly due to a lack of investment by oil-exporting countries. The share of revenue for the two growth regions of the Americas and Asia/ Pacific combined came to 33.0 percent of group revenue (prior year 33.2 percent). Due to above-average growth in Germany, the share of revenue generated abroad declined slightly to 65.3 percent (prior year 67.9 percent). A summary of revenue distribution by region can be found on page 23.

The cost of sales showed a slight rise of 0.5 percent, to 319.6 million euros (prior year 318.1 million euros). The gross margin consequently improved to 35.1 percent (prior year 34.8 percent).

Research and development (R+D) expenses are of key relevance to the Group's future performance and competitiveness, and reached a comparatively high level in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The R+D total output came to 42.3 million euros following 37.8 million euros in the same period of the prior year, equating to 8.6 percent of revenue (prior year 7.8 percent). The indicator includes R+D expenses, development costs on behalf of customers and amortization of the capitalized development costs that are included in assets. R+D expenses came to 30.5 million euros (prior year 30.9 million euros); the development costs on behalf of customers that are included in the cost of sales rose to 12.0 million euros in the period covered by the report (prior year 7.9 million euros).

Over the reporting period, selling expenses remained slightly down on the prior-year figure, at 55.7 million euros (prior year 56.7 million euros). At 11.3 percent, the selling expenses ratio was also slightly below the prior-year figure of 11.6 percent. Administrative expenses rose to 42.8 mil lion euros (prior year 40.5 million euros).

Both other operating income and other operating expenses were lower than in the prior year. The account balance from both items amounted to 0.9 million euros (prior year 2.8 million euros). The prior-year balance was chiefly influenced by positive currency effects and reversals of impairment losses on real estate disposals.

EBIT improved at a faster rate than revenue, by 6.2 percent to 47.1 million euros (prior year 44.3 million euros), thus reaching its highest value to date in a nine-month

REVENUE

period. Alongside the increase in the gross margin, income from discontinued operations of approximately 2.2 million euros also influenced earnings before interest and taxes. At 9.6 percent, the EBIT margin significantly exceeded the prior-year figure (prior year 9.1 percent).

For the same reasons, the Group also saw EBITDA grow at a higher rate than revenue, by 5.8 percent to 67.5 million euros in the first nine months of 2016 (prior year 63.8 million euros).

Despite minor currency losses, the financial result in the period covered by the report was above the prior-year figure, at minus 1.4 million euros (prior year minus 3.0 million euros). Interest income arising from the aforemention ed discontinued operations made a positive contribution to this figure. Due to dividend payments received, investment income also improved significantly to 1.6 million euros (prior year 0.3 million euros). At 45.6 million euros (prior year 41.3 million euros), the Group thus achieved higher earnings before tax than in the prior year. Income taxes came to 6.2 million euros (prior year 4.7 million euros), equating to a cash effective tax rate of 13.6 percent (prior year 11.5 percent). Jenoptik boosted its earnings after tax by more than 5.0 million euros to 39.2 million euros (prior year 34.1 million euros); earnings per share (EPS) increased by a full 10 cents per share, to 0.69 euros (prior year 0.59 euros).

At 547.7 million euros, the Jenoptik Group's order intake in the first nine months reached a new record high, at 14.3 percent considerably above the prior-year figure of 479.0 million euros. In the third quarter Jenoptik won several major orders. The book-to-bill ratio, that of order intake to revenue, was also sharply up on the prior year at 1.11 (prior year 0.98).

At 415.0 million euros, the order backlog was 11.1 percent above the comparative figure (31/12/2015: 373.4 million euros). Of this order backlog, 40.3 percent will be converted to revenue in the present fiscal year and help to support scheduled growth in the fourth quarter.

In addition, frame contracts worth 144.0 million euros were recorded (31/12/2015: 59.2 million euros). Frame contracts are agreements or framework arrangements for which the exact amount or probability of occurrence cannot yet be determined exactly.

Employees & management. As of September 30, 2016, the number of employees in the Jenoptik Group increased slightly compared to year-end 2015, to 3,545 (31/12/2015: 3,512 employees). The number of employees abroad also rose slightly in the course of the international expansion of business. At the end of September 2016, 679 people were employed at the foreign locations (31/12/31/2015: 629 employees).

Jenoptik had a total of 126 trainees as of September 30, 2016 (31/12/2015: 125 trainees). In Germany, the Group had 128 agency employees (31/12/2015: 101 agency employees).

On September 20, 2016, it was announced that Dr. Mertin would not be extending his Executive Board service contract with JENOPTIK AG beyond June 30, 2017.

Detailed information on the development of the segments can be found in the Segment Report from page 11 on.

2.2 Financial and Asset Position

With a sound equity ratio, the debenture loans and the syndicated loan, the Group has a viable financing structure for organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

The improved equity position was chiefly responsible for the debt ratio, that of borrowings to equity, improving further from 0.77 as at the end of 2015 to 0.73 on Sep tember 30, 2016.

Due to a very good free cash flow, net debt was consider ably reduced to 14.9 million euros as of September 30, 2016 (31/12/2015: 43.9 million euros). Despite the higher dividend and payment of variable salary components to employees in the second quarter, this was thus the lowest level seen in recent years.

In the first nine months, the Group invested 18.9 million euros in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (prior year 13.4 million euros). At 17.1 million euros, the largest share of capital expenditure was on property, plant and equipment (prior year 11.7 million euros). Areas of investment included new technical equipment and an expansion in production capacities, as well as the purchase of land and construction of a new building at the Rochester Hills location, Michigan, in the US. Investments in intangible assets were at 1.8 million euros as of Septem ber 30, 2016, and thus at the same level as in the prior year (prior year 1.8 million euros). Scheduled depreciation totaled 20.5 million euros (prior year 21.3 million euros).

Cash flows from operating activities were mainly boosted by lower payments for the working capital, in part due to improved inventory and receivables management.

At 56.3 million euros as of September 30, 2016 the cash flows were considerably above the prior year's figure of 33.5 million euros.

Proceeds from the sale of financial assets and from nonoperating income from investments (dividend payment), as well as interest received, were chiefly responsible for the improved cash flows from investing activities compared to the prior year. These were offset by higher capital expen diture for property, plant and equipment. The outflow of funds for investing activities amounted to 11.2 million euros as of September 30, 2016 (prior year 4.8 million euros).

In the period covered by the report, the free cash flow (cash flows from operating activities before interest and tax, minus payments for operational investing activities) was primarily influenced by the lower increase in working capital mentioned above. It rose by around 50 percent to 43.1 million euros (prior year 28.6 million euros).

The cash flows from financing activities amounted to minus 8.6 million euros (prior year minus 63.7 million euros). In the prior year, they were largely influenced by the issue and repayment of bonds and loans, together with changes in the group financing arrangements, above all due to the payment made to the last remaining silent real estate investor.

At 788.6 million euros as of September 30, 2016, the balance sheet total for the Jenoptik Group was up on the 2015 year-end figure (31/12/2015: 769.2 million euros).

The fall in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and financial assets resulted in lower non-current assets

of 366.7 million euros (31/12/2015: 382.8 million euros), mainly due to scheduled depreciation, currency effects and the sale of financial assets.

Inventories rose to 176.1 million euros (31/12/2015: 167.1 million euros) as, similarly to in prior years, orderrelated prepayments were made for future revenues. This, together with the sharp increase in cash and cash equivalents to 120.2 million euros (31/12/2015: 83.8 million euros) produced by the very good free cash flow, resulted in the value of current assets rising to 421.9 million euros compared to year-end 2015 (31/12/2015: 386.3 million euros). Despite the slight increase in revenue, trade receivables of 124.8 million euros were below the figure at the end of 2015 (31/12/2015: 135.0 million euros).

At the end of the third quarter of 2016, the working capital increased to 222.3 million euros (31/12/2015: 215.5 million euros), but was below the figure in the comparable prior-year period (30/9/2015: 239.9 million euros). At 33.0 percent, the working capital ratio, that of working capital to revenue based on the last twelve months, was slightly higher than at year-end 2015 (31/12/2015: 32.2 percent), but considerably down on the value in the prioryear period (30/9/2015: 36.4 percent).

The earnings after tax posted at the end of September, reduced by the dividend payment and currency effects from the conversion of consolidated accounts, resulted in equity increasing to 457.0 million euros (31/12/2015: 435.1 million euros). The equity ratio thereby improved further to 58.0 percent (31/12/2015: 56.6 percent).

Compared to the end of December 2015, non-current liabilities were virtually unchanged at 172.7 million euros (31/12/2015: 169.5 million euros). The non-current finan - cial liabilities included in this item grew, while other noncurrent liabilities fell. Non-current liabilities primarily include debenture loans placed in 2011 and 2015, totaling 125 million euros and with original terms of five and seven years. The tranche due in October 2016 is worth 11 million euros, which is included in current liabilities.

Compared to year-end 2015, current liabilities fell to 158.9 million euros (31/12/2015: 164.5 million euros). This reduction is partly due to lower trade accounts payable. Overall, there were only minor changes in the other items.

Purchases and sales of companies. There were no company acquisitions or sales in the first nine months of 2016.

For details of assets and liabilities not included in the balance sheet, we refer to the information on page 98 of the 2015 Annual Report and the details on contingent liabilities on page 186.

3 Segment Report

3.1 Optics & Life Science Segment

In the first nine months of 2016, the Optics & Life Science segment generated revenue of 164.5 million euros, an increase of 4.5 percent (prior year 157.4 million euros). The driver of this growth was business with solutions for the IT and communications industry and, in part, for the semiconductor equipment industry. Sales in the medical technology and life sciences markets remained stable. Overall, the segment's share of group revenue was 33.4 percent (prior year 32.3 percent). Revenue in Germany fell from 38.2 million euros to 34.9 million euros, while revenue in Europe (excluding Germany) increased strongly to 54.7 million euros (prior year 44.9 million euros). In the Asia/Pacific region and the Americas, too, revenue grew.

Income from operations before depreciation and amor tization (EBITDA) increased 48.7 percent on the prior year, to 30.6 million euros (prior year 20.6 million euros). Income from opera tions (EBIT) improved to an even greater extent, by 71.6 percent to 24.5 million euros (prior year 14.3 million euros). The EBIT includes earnings of around 2.8 million euros resulting from a court of arbitra tion finding regard ing the effects of premature termination of a contract which was positive for Jenoptik. Compared to the prior-year quarter, EBIT increased by 180.9 percent. In the first nine months of 2016, the segment thus achieved an EBIT margin of 14.9 percent (prior year 9.1 percent), in the third quarter of 19.9 percent (prior year 7.5 percent).

The order intake increased 18.7 percent to 172.2 million euros (prior year 145.1 million euros). Set against revenue, this results in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05 (prior year 0.92).

¹ Prior year's figures refer to December 31, 2015

Both divisions in the segment contributed to this improvement. In June, the Healthcare & Industry division received a frame agreement to supply lasers for medical use to a US customer worth over 11 million US dollars.

The segment order backlog was slightly up on the prior year and at the end of September 2016 came to 75.6 mil lion euros (31/12/2015: 73.7 million euros). It also had frame contracts worth 14.6 million euros (31/12/2015: 5.5 million euros).

During the reporting period, the segment's free cash flow improved to 15.4 million euros (prior year 11.8 million euros), mainly due to improved earnings and lower payments for working capital.

As of September 30, 2016, the segment had 1,149 em ployees (31/12/2015: 1,144 employees).

3.2 Mobility Segment

In the first nine months of 2016, revenue in the segment came to 169.0 million euros, down on the prior-year figure (prior year 176.2 million euros). The Automotive division saw good growth, particularly in the field of laser processing systems. However, due to a lack of investment by oilexporting countries and, as expected, a still sluggish US market, business with traffic safety technology remained below the prior-year level after nine months. In the Americas, the two divisions thus developed at different rates but overall managed to increase revenues. The segment also increased its revenue in Germany and Asia/ Pacific, while a revenue fall was seen in Europe (exclud ing Germany). The drop in revenue in the Middle East and Africa is due to the lack of investment noted above. The segment's share of group revenue fell from 36.1 percent in the prior year to 34.3 percent.

In the period covered by the report, income from opera tions before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased 16.7 percent to 18.5 million euros (prior year 22.2 million euros). Income from operations (EBIT) in the segment fell by 20.1 percent to 12.7 million euros (prior year 15.9 million euros). This development is primarily attributable, among other things, to weaker revenue figures, a changed revenue mix and upfront investment for new projects. The EBIT margin accordingly came to 7.5 percent (prior year 9.0 percent). In the third quarter, the EBIT margin was 9.3 percent (prior year 13.3 percent).

As the order intake in the Mobility segment was consider ably higher than revenue in the reporting period, the bookto-bill ratio in the first nine months reached a figure of 1.16 (prior year 1.11). At 196.9 million euros, the order intake was at the same level as in the prior year (prior year 195.7 million euros).

The Traffic Solutions division secured several major orders in the third quarter of 2016. It will supply Toll Collect with up to 600 systems to monitor truck toll payments on Germany's federal highways, among other things. The division also received major multi-year orders in the mid doubledigit million euro range from Canada and Australia, which were mainly also posted as frame contracts.

At 117.5 million euros, the segment had an order backlog 26.8 percent above the 2015 year-end figure (31/12/2015: 92.7 million euros). It also had frame contracts worth 78.3 mil lion euros (31/12/2105: 11.5 million euros).

As of September 30, 2016, the segment had 1,230 employees (31/12/2015: 1,207 employees).

The Jenoptik Group is investing a total of some 14 million euros in its Rochester Hills location, Michigan, in the US, where a new, modern technology campus for metrology and laser processing systems for the North American automotive industry is being built.

3.3 Defense & Civil Systems Segment

At the end of nine months, the segment's revenue came to 162.2 million euros, an increase of 4.9 percent (prior year 154.7 million euros). This is predominantly due to good development in the fields of energy and aviation systems, as well as in the service business. The segment's share of group revenue grew to 32.9 percent (prior year 31.7 percent). In Germany – the segment's largest sales market –, revenue increased to 94.0 million euros on the back of good business with domestic systems companies (prior year 80.9 million euros). Growth was also seen in Europe and Asia/Pacific. In the Americas, by contrast, revenue fell, as part of a major order had been settled in the prior year.

In the first nine months of 2016, the segment generated income from operations before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 16.7 million euros (prior year 16.3 mil lion euros). Income from operations (EBIT) improved from 12.4 mil lion euros in the prior year to 13.2 million euros, an increase of 6.5 percent, primarily the result of good revenue growth and a changed product mix. The EBIT margin came to 8.2 percent in the first nine months (prior year 8.0 percent), in the single quarter to 7.9 percent (prior year 11.6 percent).

The Defense & Civil Systems segment also won several major orders in the third quarter, including one worth 22 million euros to supply equipment for military ground vehicles to Poland. 2016 will also see the start of deliveries of key components worth over 40 million euros to Raytheon for the Patriot missile defense system.

The order intake consequently rose 30.6 percent to 181.1 million euros (prior year 138.7 million euros). The book-to-bill ratio increased to 1.12, compared with 0.90 in the prior year.

On the back of a very good order intake, the segment saw its order backlog rise by a total of 14.2 million euros to 223.9 million euros (31/12/2015: 209.7 million euros). It also has frame contracts worth 51.1 million euros (31/12/2105: 42.1 million euros).

With good development of business, a good earnings position and other factors including optimized receivables and liquidity management, the segment's free cash flow improved significantly from 2.2 million euros to 25.3 mil lion euros.

As of September 30, 2016, the segment had 870 em ployees (31/12/2015: 881 employees).

4 Report on Post-Balance Sheet Events

There were no events of special importance occurring after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2016.

5 Risk and Opportunity Report

Within the framework of the reporting on the Opportunity and Risk Report, we refer to the details on pages 110 to 121 of the 2015 Annual Report published at the end of March 2016.

There have been no major changes in the opportunities and risks described in the report during the course of the first nine months of 2016.

Despite this, potential impacts of Brexit on the Jenoptik Group's development of business are subject to ongoing analysis. The British people's vote to leave the European Union first and foremost poses a risk to the economic development of the United Kingdom. This, in turn, could have implications for continental Europe, in particular Germany and its export-oriented market. Potential trade barriers at European level could therefore adversely affect Jenoptik's growth.

6 Forecast Report

6.1 Outlook for the Economy as a whole and the Jenoptik Sectors

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) again revised its growth forecasts in October. At present, it is expecting global economic growth of 3.1 percent in the current year (prior forecast: 3.2 percent), this slight downgrade is prima rily due to weak growth in the US to date. In the medium term, the IMF sees continued disappointing growth in industrialized nations, while economies in the developing and emerging countries are due to pick up following five weak years. Uncertainty relating to economic development is in good part focused on political events: the implications of the Brexit decision are not yet foreseeable. Similar separatist trends in other EU nations could result in protectionism and postponements in capital expen diture. The IMF sees further risks in China's economic transformation, credit issues, considerably reduced capital expenditure in emerging countries and inflation above expectations.

The German government has marginally increased its 2016 growth forecast from 1.7 to 1.8 percent, but is anticipating lower growth in the coming year. In a challenging foreign trade environment, it sees the upswing in the German economy as robust and essentially driven by the low oil price, low interest rates, high demand for real estate and increas ing public investment. Consumer spending will also bolster growth. By contrast, capital expenditure on plant and machinery is not expected to rise significantly before 2018.

According to IT analyst Gartner, the global semiconductor equipment industry will see revenues decline 0.3 percent on the prior year in 2016, albeit with the potential to achieve revenue growth of 7.4 percent in 2017. Mobile devices remain the important market drivers, as well as, in the near future, applications related to the Internet of Things (IoT). The SEMI trade association also considers the automotive sector to be a driver of growth, and in an update published in August forecasts a revenue increase of 4.1 percent in the current year, to be followed by 10.6 percent next year.

The German Engineering Federation (VDMA) is still expect ing production to stagnate in the current year, with a weak global economic environment noticeably impacting on business. It believes production will grow just 1 percent in the coming year. China will cease to be a driver of growth, with other countries and regions unable to make up for its lack of investment. This factor is compounded by new uncertainties in key sales markets such as the United Kingdom and Turkey. The unsure outcome of the presiden tial election in the US is also regarded as detrimental to investment. The machinery engineering industry has opportunities for new growth in the automation of production processes and the onward march of digitization.

On the occasion of the IAA Commercial Vehicles trade fair in September, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) presented current industry trends and figures. The commercial vehicle market in Western Europe will grow 8 percent in 2016; China, too, will see a sharp increase. Momentum in the automotive market is slacken ing in the US. According to the VDA, industry trends include digitization, networking, automated driving and alternative drive systems.

The global railway industry is at a crossroads. According to market researchers at SCI Verkehr and McKinsey, manufacturers must develop their business models with a greater focus on service and after-sales: global growth in new busi ness is losing momentum and will amount to just 1.3 percent in the coming five years, in part due to declining demand occasioned by China's scaled-down capital expenditure planning, while service and maintenance will account for a majority of revenue in the future. In summary, the global market for railway technology is due to grow an average of 2.3 percent in the next five years according to SCI. Asia will remain the biggest regional market.

The American aircraft manufacturer Boeing increased its regional long-term forecast for the aviation industry: China will need over 6,800 new aircraft in the next 20 years, equivalent to a value of over one trillion US dollars. Together with Siemens, Airbus plans to verify the technical feasibility of hybrid electric drive systems for aircraft by 2020.

The German defense industry's budget is due to increase sharply in the years ahead, as the German government announced in mid-October. At present, it plans to boost the budget from 34.3 billion euros in the current year to 39.2 billion euros in 2020. If, however, and as proposed by NATO, the budget should come to 2 percent of gross domestic product, it would have to rise to over 60 billion euros, i.e. 20 billion more than previously earmarked. To complement NATO, Germany, France, Italy and Spain intend to increase cooperation in the future. In early October, aviation company Airbus reported that final assembly of the Eurofighter in Germany and Spain will end in 2018 if no new orders are received. Reasons include the low order backlog, an assembly process spread over four sites and complex jurisdiction over exports. There will, however, still be modernization and maintenance work to perform.

6.2 Long-term Forecasts and Targets

For information on the medium to long-term outlook, we refer to the 2015 Annual Report published in March 2016, in particular the details in the "Targets and Strategies" section from page 65 on and in the Forecast Report from page 122 on.

Jenoptik still anticipates annual revenue of around 800 million euros with an average EBIT margin of 9 to 10 percent over the market cycles, and including smaller acquisitions, to be achieved by the end of 2018. In order to reach these goals, the company is aiming for exceptional growth abroad, particularly in the Americas and Asia/ Pacific. More than 40 percent of revenue (2015: 32.7 percent) is due to be generated in these target regions by 2018.

This presupposes that political and economic conditions do not worsen. These include the presently uncertain effects of Brexit and developments in Turkey, regulations at European level, export restrictions, further developments in China, in the Middle East and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

6.3 Future Development of Business

The Jenoptik Group will continue to pursue its strategic agenda with the aim of achieving profitable growth in all its segments. Revenue growth, the resulting economies of scale, cost discipline and higher margins from the growing systems and service business together with the expansion of international sales structures is expected to produce an increase in and sustainability of results. Process optimiza tion measures and the group development projects will also continue in the current fiscal year. Jenoptik closely reviews value-adding acquisitions.

The good asset position and a viable financing structure give Jenoptik sufficient room for maneuver to finance further growth and acquisitions.

Following a good development of business as scheduled in the first nine months of 2016, the Executive Board is now expecting the group EBIT margin for the full year to come in at the upper end of the pre viously forecast range of between 9.0 and 9.5 percent (prior year 9.2 percent). As before it anticipates group revenue of between 680 and 700 million euros for 2016 (prior year 668.6 million euros). Earnings before tax are due to develop along similar lines as EBIT. Depending on the future tax burden, this will also be reflected in the earnings after tax.

On the basis of business performance to date, the Executive Board is now anticipating a slight rise in EBIT for the Defense & Civil Systems segment, in the Mobility segment EBIT is expected slightly below the prior-year level. In the Optics & Life Science segment the Board continues to expect that EBIT will show a stronger growth rate than revenue. We refer to the 2015 Annual Report, from page

125 on, for details of the outlook for other key indicators for the development of business and the development of the segments in 2016.

All statements on the future development of the business situation have been made on the basis of current information. They are given on the assumption that the economic situation develops in line with the economic and sector forecasts stated in this report and in the 2015 Annual Report from page 122 on.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the first nine months of 2016

Parent Company

The parent company of Jenoptik Group is JENOPTIK AG headquartered in Jena with its legal seat registered in the Jena Commercial Register under the number HRB 200146. JENOPTIK AG is a stock corporation listed on the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt and, among others, included in the TecDax index.

Accounting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The accounting policies applied in preparing the 2015 consolidated financial statements were also applied in preparing the interim consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2016, which were prepared on the basis of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Finan cial Reporting". These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. These policies were published and individually described in detail in the Notes to the 2015 Annual Report. The Annual Report is available on the internet under www.jenoptik.com using the path Investors/Reports and Presentations.

The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in euros, the currency used in the Group, and figures are shown in thousand euros, if not otherwise stated. It is to be noted that there may be rounding differences as compared to the mathematically exact values (monetary units, percentages, etc.).

Management considers the interim consolidated financial statements to include all standard adjustments to be made on an ongoing basis to present a true and fair view of the Group's business performance in the period under review.

The following IFRS have been applied for the first time in 2016:

IFRS Improvements (2012 – 2014). As part of the IASB Annual Improvements Project, amendments were made to four standards. Along with clarifying existing regulations, amendments impacting the statement of financial position and the required disclosures were adopted. The standards affected are IAS 19, IAS 34, IFRS 5 and IFRS 7. The amendments became effective as of January 1, 2016. These improvements have no material effects on the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial

Statements". These amendments affect various disclosure issues. It was clarified that disclosures in the notes are only then required when their content is not immaterial. This is explicitly to be applied when an IFRS requires a list of minimum disclosures. In addition, explanations have been added regarding aggregating and disaggregating items in the statement of financial position and the statement of comprehensive income. Furthermore, it has been clarified how interests in entities stated at equity are to be disclosed in other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income. Finally a sample structure for the notes was removed in order to take relevant content specific to an entity into account. These amendments became effective as of January 1, 2016. These improvements have no material effects on the consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equip ment" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets". With this amendment further guidelines were made available for determin ing which measurement methods are to be applied for depreciating tangible assets and for amortizing intangible assets. Depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment based on revenue are not to be applied, whereas revenue-based amortization methods may be applied in certain cases as an exception for intangible assets. This amendment became effective as of January 1, 2016 and has no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements". With this amendment the IASB regulates the accounting treatment for investing in a joint operation as defined by IFRS 3 (a joint operation constituting a business). In such cases the acquirer uses the accounting principles given in IFRS 3 for business combinations. Moreover, the disclosure requirements specified in IFRS 3 shall also be applied. This amendment became effective as of January 1, 2016 and has no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Group of Entities Consolidated

The consolidated financial statements of JENOPTIK AG contain 31 fully consolidated subsidiaries (31/12/2015: 33). Thereof 12 (31/12/2015: 14) have their legal seat in Germany and 19 (31/12/2015: 19) abroad. The reduction of the number of fully consolidated subsidiaries is due to a simplification in the holding structure of the Group. The companies to be consolidated within the Jenoptik Group still contain one joint operation.

In the third quarter of 2016, non-controlling shareholders of JENOPTIK Holdings UK Ltd. (formerly Vysionics Ltd.) exercised existing put options. This resulted in Jenoptik's equity interest in the Vysionics Group increasing from 91.97 percent to 92.90 percent and a corresponding reduction in non-controlling interests. In the statement of changes in equity, this is shown as change in scope of consolidation.

Since January 1, 2016 Jenoptik has aligned its organizational structure more consequently on market requirements. The business activities were newly structured and more targeted at growth markets. The segment reporting follows this new organizational structure. Prior year figures were adjusted accordingly.

Material Transactions

A dividend payment of 0.22 euros per share was agreed at the JENOPTIK AG Annual General Meeting on June 8, 2016. The pay-out reduced cash flows from financing activities by EUR 12,592 thousand.

To date, EUR 5,308 thousand have been invested in the construction of the new technology campus for metrology and laser processing systems at the US location in Rochester Hills, Michigan. This sum negatively influenced cash flows from investing activities. In total, planned investments sum up to around 14 million euros.

In connection with the sale of M+W Zander Holding AG in 2005, a final agreement on matters relating to the purchase price was reached with the buyer, entitling Jenoptik to receive a payment. The resulting earnings of EUR 1,986 thousand plus interest of EUR 1,458 thousand are shown separately as discontinued operations in the group income statement and the consolidated statement of cash flows. Income taxes of minus EUR 174 thousand were incurred in connection with this transaction.

The EBIT contains an income in the amount of EUR 2,817 thousand due to the positive decision of a court of arbitration regarding the implications of a premature cancellation of a contract.

On September 20, 2016, it was announced that President & CEO Dr. Michael Mertin would not be extending his Executive Board service contract with JENOPTIK AG. An obligation for contractually agreed bridging payments amounting to EUR 1,766 thousand was therefore recog nized as expenses.

Already in the first half-year of 2016 an investment paid a dividend to Jenoptik amounting to EUR 1,693 thousand. The earnings are included in investment result and belong to the Mobility segment. The cash flows from investing activities are affected positively by the same amount.

Beyond this, transactions with a significant influence on the interim consolidated financial statements of Jenoptik in the third quarter or cumulative up to September 30, 2016 did not occur.

Assets held for sale

Due to a scheduled sale within a twelve-month period an investment was classified as held for sale according to IFRS 5 in the first half year of 2016. The sale of the investment took place in the third quarter of 2016. The gain from the sale was accounted for in other operating income and the cash inflows were dis closed in the statement of cash flows as proceeds from sale of financial assets. The asset held for sale is belonging to the Optics & Life Science segment.

Fair values available as quoted market prices at all times were allocated to level 1. Fair values determined on the basis of direct or indirect observable parameters were allocated to level 2. Level 3 is based on measurement para m e ters that are not based upon observable market data.

Fair values of available for sale financial assets are determined on the basis of stock exchange prices (level 1) and discounted cash flows (level 3), respectively.

The fair values of derivatives with hedging relations were determined by using standard measurements methods. In doing so current market data were opposed to those parameters underlying the derivatives. The used market data were taken from leading information systems such as Reuters. If an interpolation of market data is applied, it is done straight-line.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts listed below for cash and cash equivalents, available for sale financial assets, contingent liabilities and derivatives held for hedging purposes correspond to their fair value. The carrying amounts of the remaining items represent an appropriate approximation of their fair value.

The fair value of contingent liabilities was measured by taking the expected and discounted payment outflows at the reporting date into consideration. The put option, agreed upon in conjunction with the acquisition of the British Vysionics Group, for the purchase of the remaining non-controlling interests in the amount of EUR 1,542 thousand was recognized at the present value of the expected exercise price. In the first quarter the expected cash outflows were revalued based on current information and discounted in consideration of the term with interest rates between 0.62 and 0.71 percent. These postings negatively affected the financial result in the amount of EUR 555 thousand. The effect on the operating result in the amount of EUR 241 thousand is due to the revaluation of this foreign currency liability. In the third quarter of 2016 put options on a part of the non-controlling interests were exercised. This resulted in a disposal of the contingent liabilities of EUR 195 thousand.

The development of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss and allocated to level 3 is shown in the following chart:

German Corporate Governance Code

The current statement given by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board pursuant to § 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act [Aktiengesetz (AktG)] regarding the German Corporate Governance Code have been made permanently available to shareholders on the Jenoptik website www.jenoptik.com using the path Investors/Corporate Governance. Furthermore, the statements can also be viewed on site at JENOPTIK AG.

Events after the reporting period

No significant events occurred after the interim reporting period ending on September 30, 2016.
