Jenoptik raises its forecast for the Group operating result 2011 to 40
million euros. In the 1st quarter 2011 the Group EBIT amounts to 11.8
million euros.

On the basis of an analysis of the business development made with all
segments the Jenoptik Executive Board raises the EBIT forecast for 2011.
The Group now plans to achieve a Group operating result (EBIT) of 40
million euros in fiscal year 2011. This represents an increase of more than
35 percent over the comparable figure of 29.0 million euros in the previous
year. Jenoptik originally had expected a Group EBIT of more than 35 million
euros. The Group continues to forecast sales to come to at least 510
million euros in the whole fiscal year. With this new forecast the
management expects this year to be the best in terms of earnings from
the operational business since the separation of M+W Zander five years ago.

The forecast has been increased as a result of the very good order and
earnings development in the 1st quarter 2011 thanks in particular to the
high demand from the semiconductor industry in the Lasers & Optical Systems
segment as well as the from the automotive industry in the Metrology
segment. The Group EBIT in the sum of 11.8 million euros in the 1st quarter
reflects for Jenoptik the very high level in the semiconductor cycle at
present. In this sector Jenoptik expects to see normalization in the
further course of the year.

The Jena based optoelectronics Group will publish detailed figures for the
1st quarter 2011 next Friday, May 13, 2011.
