Zumtobel: The lighting group Zumtobel recorded a decline in sales of 7.9 percent to 840 million euros in the first nine months of the current financial year 2023/24.

The Components segment recorded a decline in sales of -20.4 percent to 222.6 million euros, while sales in the Lightning division fell by -2.1 percent to 663.4 million euros. Adjusted EBIT fell by 32.5 percent to EUR 45.9 million compared to the same period last year. This corresponds to an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.5 percent (previous year: 7.5 percent).
