The 2018/19 financial year was a year of transition for the Zumtobel Group. We did our homework and, through the implementation of a restructuring course, improved profitability — which also means we met the target announced for this financial year. Now we are looking towards the future. Our goal is to restart our growth course and further improve profitability. The Management Board of the Zumtobel Group sees 2019/20 as a year of transformation, in which the focus of activities will return to the continuous improvement of the operating business and growth — in spite of the weakening market environment. For the 2019/20 financial year, the Management Board expects a slight increase in revenues as well as an improvement in the adjusted EBIT margin to 3 – 5%. The medium-term goal of generating an EBIT margin of roughly 6% by the 2020/21 financial year remains intact.

In order to drive revenue growth, the Zumtobel Group intends to strengthen its positioning in the global lighting industry as part of its current reorientation. The strategy approved in September 2018 will be consistently pursued. Its goal for the Lighting Segment — with the core Zumtobel and Thorn brands — is to become the market leader in Europe with a focus on applications in industry, office & education, shop & retail and art & culture. Outdoor appli- cations will concentrate on lighting for urban areas and roads. The Components Segment with its technology brand Tridonic will expand globally based on innovative hard- ware (drivers, LED modules) and software solutions for smart and integrated lighting and lighting systems. The Zumtobel Group will also increase its focus on the future field of digital lighting as well as services and turnkey solutions. Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to the chal- lenges which the new financial year will bring. We can rely on our dedicated and excellently qualified employees — who I would expressly like to thank on behalf of the entire Management Board for their commitment and perform- ance. My colleagues and I would also like to thank our customers, partners, suppliers and shareholders for their confidence, support and open dialogue. Alfred Felder Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Light is life. Light is perception. Light sets the stage for our lives. Light is energy — yet it has no tangible presence. It is dynamic but has no physical dimensions. We can feel it — yet it cannot be touched. It refracts and reflects, it reveals and extends. Light is versatile — yet it is often not properly interpreted. Light needs to be conveyed — and this is the mission our company is committed to. Zumtobel has a long tradition of engaging in dialogue with the art and culture scene. The result- ant bonds have shaped the development of our company over time and played an important part in establishing the success of the Zumtobel brand. As a sign of our strong links with the creative community, we have a long-established practice of inviting artists, architects and designers to interpret and express their understanding of the interplay between light and our brand. Within the creative dia-logue, artistic freedom is an essential prerequisite for creativity and new insights.

Therefore, we are delighted to have won the renowned architect and longstanding friend of our company Professor Dietmar Eberle to design this year’s 28th edition of our artistic Annual Report. Together with Sascha Lötscher from the design agency Gottschalk+Ash Int’l, Professor Eberle deals with the interplay of light and space and the ways in which light can be made visible. The designers look at light from an architectural perspective, using photographs to show a range of lighting scenes in space. These lighting scenes were realised by students as part of Professor Dietmar Eberle’s work at ETH Zurich. Light is made visible with the photographs arranged in sequence, from dark to light. This specific arrangement creates an interplay of contrasts — black and white, dark and light — that merge together, becoming visible in the process. Following the concept of this light play, the Annual Report is arranged in order from Z for Zumtobel through to A for architecture. A core element of this year’s edition is the mention of our employees, whose names are integrated into the Annual Report. Our employees play a vital part in our company’s innovative strength and contribute to a successful future of the Zumtobel Group. For the first time, our artistic Annual Report will also cover the digital dimension by incorporating videos via QR codes, making this edition a truly holistic experience.

We hope you enjoy this unique collector’s item. With best wishes Jürg Zumtobel Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Zumtobel Group

acdc shows major growth in outdoor acdc continues to grow and develop as part of Zumtobel Group, with the company taking the lead in outdoor architectural lighting within the Group, expanding by over 35% within the 2018/19 financial year. The company completed projects all over the world, with the UK, Middle East and Central Europe represent- ing the largest areas of success. acdc has a broad portfolio of products and focuses primarily on the areas of outdoor architecture and building surrounds with an exciting roadmap and prod- uct development programme. The company’s clearly defined strategy was rewarded by a 70% increase in out- door revenue in the 2018/19 financial year. By combining acdc’s extensive product design and outdoor applica- tion experience with the very latest in technologies, the company will see the launch of more than eight exciting new product ranges in the 2019/20 financial year, a strategy underpinned by a dual technology and luminaire platform logic, which it has been working with since late 2017.

Creating amazing experiences with light around the world Within acdc’s home ground (the UK!), there have been a number of key projects throughout the last financial year — none more so than Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A Zumtobel Group project, acdc’s BLADE created the instantly recognisable halo of light whilst also setting the scene of what’s to come by illuminating the façade. These RGB Linear luminaires allow the lighting scheme to create a destination for fans and visitors, guiding them towards the stadium. FUSION 48 floodlights illuminated the roof canopy — a blank canvas where light shows can be created to offer guests a dynamic and memorable visitor experience. A customer- first approach in close cooperation with the project architects and consultants (including several mock-ups and intensive testing) ensured acdc could provide a range of fittings to create the next level in stadium guest experience. When it comes to hotels, take a walk to London’s Russell Square and you can’t miss the stunning Principal Hotel — a landmark Grade II listed building originally opened in 1898. With a focus on colour temperature, con- cern was raised that the terracotta exterior would produce an overly warm lighting effect. Tests carried out in cooperation with the client showed that 2,700 K was perfect for all locations — enter acdc’s PLAZA. These floodlights outline the building and large-scale features. This includes the tall columns at ground level with

the high-level turquoise turrets washed by acdc 16 ° PLAZA 20 floodlights. The overall result is an incredible yet classic example of a simple, integrated and seamless design. Another iconic project within the UK was the illumination of the Royal Opera House, London, which was given a new lease of life following a spectacular programme of refurbishment. The Grade I listed build- ing has been opened up — bringing people closer to the arts. acdc’s PLAZA S3x bring a sparkle to Paul Hamlyn Hall. Once a flower market, it now functions as a restaurant and champagne bar and occasional performance space. Outside, in Covent Garden’s piazza and retail colonnade, PLAZA floodlights are subtly integrated into the façade. Drawing in the crowds, these compact surface-mounted gems dramatically emphasise the building façade’s features. Within MEIA, acdc has had the privilege of pro- viding a lighting solution for the façade of the new Royal Atlantis Hotel in Dubai. Illuminated by BLADE, low glare was of high importance. acdc worked closely with the specifiers, including experimenting with louvres and optics. This ensured acdc could provide luminaires that met the project requirements. Due to open towards the end of 2019, the resort will feature a mix of con- temporarily styled living areas with apartment balconies and wall ends being illuminated by over 4000 of acdc’s BLADE linear luminaires. acdc continues to make progress across Europe, where it was selected to supply the lighting for Avala Tower, Belgrade. A landmark well known not only in Belgrade but also in all of Serbia and throughout the former Yugoslavia, Avala Tower is currently the tallest tower in the Balkan region and a symbol of new technologies and prosperity for the people of Belgrade. The huge concrete pillar is illuminated by 45 FUSION luminaires from the acdc portfolio — installed on all three sides. The “legs” of the pillar are illuminated by two FUSIONs on each side, with three luminaires on the antenna. Avala Tower is one of the top five tourist destinations in Belgrade, and thanks to its new illumination this symbol will be visible from all over the city.

New design logic enabling a dynamic, fast-moving development roadmap acdc’s dual-platform strategy is enabling the company to quickly launch and develop a large number of outdoor luminaires, based on the same primary technology and luminaire frameworks, allowing for rapid portfolio expansion and growth.

The technology platforms combine the latest LED sources with modular electronic components, controls and optics to deliver a solution that is fast, efficient and flexible. With this revolutionary new technology, Bluetooth and DALI protocols can be integrated to con- trol not only colour but beam angle as well. A similar approach to luminaire design has also been taken with castings, mouldings and extrusions being engineered with multiple products in mind. This has minimized time, cost and speed to market, a crucial factor in a sector that is expanding significantly and at a rapid pace. This, combined with acdc’s vast experience in out- door architectural lighting projects, makes for an exciting combination as acdc continues to develop as a technology-leading, fast-moving and innovative lighting brand.

Outlook acdc continues to go from strength to strength, with a rapidly increasing product portfolio and a constantly growing list of projects and clients for 2019/20 and beyond. The company is working on numerous high-end projects including bridges, façades, stadiums and towers, and is also expanding into new geographic markets. 2019/20 will certainly be a year of clarity, focus and growth for the UK-based business.

We make light work for you Having celebrated its ninetieth birthday in 2018, Thorn Lighting is now embarking upon its tenth decade. Founded by Jules Thorn in 1928, the brand has established itself as a global leader in indoor and outdoor lighting, with its mission to make light work for you. In the past financial year Thorn pursued this vision as determinedly as ever, with significant inno- vations in the areas of optics, connectivity and design, and stunning new installations all over the world. Thorn benefits from a strong worldwide reputation for smart, reliable, high-performance lighting solutions that serve countless applications. With a comprehensive range of indoor and outdoor lighting products, Thorn has the right solution for every job. For indoor lighting projects, the Thorn brand stands for ease of installation, excellent build quality and outstanding performance. Meanwhile Thorn’s outdoor solutions support complex, high-profile projects, providing the right light for people, places and the environment — plus smart capabilities and connectivity. Our recently completed projects around the world demonstrate the breadth of our expertise in indoor and outdoor lighting, and the compelling nature of our offer. New lighting from Thorn is helping the City of Sunderland in the UK to save millions of pounds a year. More than 27,000 sodium street lights were replaced by Thorn’s R2L2 and CiviTEQ lanterns, which meet rigorous criteria including improved lighting levels, in- creased energy efficiency, and the ability to be dimmed. The new lighting provides a vastly improved quality of light, and the council is set to save EUR 2.8 million a year thanks to lower electricity costs and reduced maintenance. Thorn supplied a complete lighting package for a major upgrade of the Bamble and Kjørholt tunnels, which stretch for three kilometres through the mountains of Norway. A total of 950 GTLED PRO luminaires — specifically designed for tunnel lighting — were installed. The new lighting is robust, highly efficient and creates safe and comfortable conditions for drivers. At Broughton Primary School in Edinburgh, UK, Thorn Lighting provided a low-maintenance, energy- efficient solution for the whole school. Five different types of luminaire were used, including the innovative IQ Wave, which uses cutting-edge LED optics to create comfortable, homogenous light and benefits from built-in wireless control. The new lighting creates an ideal learning environment, and the ability to dim lights leads to energy savings of up to 75%. In China, Thorn provided lighting for the world’s longest sea bridge, which connects Hong Kong and Macao with the Chinese mainland. Luminaires from Thorn light the two artificial islands to the east and west of the 30 km crossing, as well as the tunnel that leads

to the bridge from Hong Kong. Thorn provided 120 Champion Pro LED, 132 high-power floodlights for the islands, and 6,000 GTLED Entry and GT58 luminaires for the tunnel. Mercedes-Benz’s newly redeveloped headquarters in Rome have been lit using Thorn’s Omega LED fitting, integrated in the modular ceiling system, creating a welcoming and efficient new workspace, where personal well-being and company productivity are combined. Also in the 2018/19 financial year, Thorn won the award for Best Commercial Project at Voltimum’s Smart Solutions Awards, for the lighting of a distribution centre run by logistics firm Wincanton in Doncaster, UK. This exemplar project brought better quality light to the 11,000 m2 warehouse, while saving 60% on energy costs, thanks to Thorn’s HiPak Pro LED, CorrosionForce and ForceLED luminaires.

Latest innovations The new products released by Thorn in this 2018/19 financial year have brought customers the latest in innovative optics, Bluetooth connectivity and intuitive design. Raze is a family of three new outdoor luminaires that create a dramatic grazing effect on walls and façades, and smooth, uniform distribution on horizontal surfaces such as footpaths and cycleways. Available in architectural, wall-mounted or bollard versions, Raze lets the true character of surfaces be revealed. The new decorative and intelligent outdoor lumi- naire Volupto brings character and comfort to urban spaces. With an elegant bowl-shaped design and a gentle glow made possible by advanced LED optics, Volupto combines the best of the old and the new. The new generation of our Equaline linear lumi- naire is a flexible, modular system that creates clean, unbroken lines of light, putting great aesthetic design within the reach of every project. Its homogenous appearance and even illumination create a quality lit effect that supports comfort. Katona is a cutting-edge wall light designed to solve many of the most common lighting challenges, com- bining market-leading efficiency with easy installation and powerful protection against damp, dust and damage. It is flexible enough for a range of applications including hallways and building exteriors. A growing number of Thorn products are now available with Casambi Ready BasicDIM Wireless, allowing them to be controlled wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. Casambi Ready BasicDIM Wire- less uses Bluetooth to create a secure and robust mesh network. All that customers need is an iOS or Android device and the free app. Thorn products that can be made compatible include IQ Wave, Chalice, Glacier II LED and Katona.

Thorn Eco — success in the electrical wholesale market The Thorn Eco range, launched in 2017, continues to go from strength to strength. This bold new brand is targeted firmly at the electrical wholesale market, serving electricians and electrical contractors. Standing for economical LED lighting, Thorn Eco is a range of LED luminaires designed with the every- day needs of its clearly defined target audience in mind. The highly competitive portfolio of modular, functional LED luminaires is ideal for like-for-like replacement of traditional light sources, as well as for new installa- tions, bringing all the benefits of LED in better quality light, significant energy savings and reduced maintenance. The past financial year saw tremendous growth for Thorn Eco in the target markets of the UK, Germany, France and Australia, and a successful launch of the brand in New Zealand. Meanwhile Thorn Eco’s products and point-of-sale materials are seeing increasing presence at wholesaler outlets, positioning the brand well for future success. Five new Thorn Eco product families were launched this year: the LED floodlights Leo and Leonie, the bathroom mirror luminaire Elsa, and the LED battens Lucy and Poppy. Existing products continue to be updated with improvements and new features. Thorn Eco has benefited from its distinctive, eye- catching ‘Meet the family’ marketing concept and design, featuring simple, accessible product naming and imagery to cut through the noise in this crowded and price-sensitive market. The concept won two gold DBA Design Effectiveness Awards in 2018 and is proving its effectiveness in the market every day. The Thorn Eco product range continues to adapt to meet the latest technical and application-specific requirements, and the ever-changing demands of electricians. The moisture-proof LED luminaire Julie remains the best-selling Thorn Eco product, followed by the recessed LED panel Anna, the high-power LED floodlight Leo, the IP66-rated bulkhead Tom, and the LED high bay George. The focused positioning, effective strategy and bold marketing of Thorn Eco have seen this new brand become a strong player, well positioned for continued success as we expand the product portfolio and pursue ambitious growth targets in existing and new markets.

An industry undergoing transformation The industry — and therefore Tridonic, too — is undergoing radical change. After the wave of innovation that ushered in LED lighting, today the focus is on connectivity. Thanks to the megatrend of digitalisation, lighting based on LED technology is gaining a signifi- cance that extends far beyond providing illumination. Tridonic supplies the key technology here, positioning itself as the world’s leading supplier of lighting tech- nology as we embark on an era of digitalisation and connectivity. LED light sources and modern control systems deliver significant quality improvements that directly benefit the people experiencing them. Human-centric lighting systems not only support visual tasks in sensitive areas such as healthcare, work and education — they can also create specific light moods designed to energise people in different ways. Smart lighting concepts offer comfort and enhanced functionality as well as connectivity benefits, including integration with the Internet of Things. These possibilities are finding concrete applications in the marketplace. At the same time, and in what is a highly competitive environment, LED technology still offers tremendous potential that has yet to be unlocked. Both LEDs and connectivity /digitalisation require significant investment activity. Against this backdrop, which encompasses the whole industry, Tridonic works in partnership with its customers across the full spectrum of current challenges. And as these major changes gradually unfold across the market, the brand continues to pursue the ongoing development and marketing of its current portfolio. Tridonic is well placed for the era that lies ahead. In the 2018/19 financial year the brand continued to develop as a supplier of both hardware and software, facilitating intelligent lighting solutions with added value. At the same time the company expanded its existing portfolio of both indoor and (in particular) out- door lighting. And Tridonic can continue to build on its brand equity of strong customer relationships. Beyond its day-to-day business, the brand has further developed its extensive network of personal contacts, collabor- ations and partnerships through conferences, trade fairs and customer events.

The connectivity trend “Discover the hidden lighting asset” was Tridonic’s catchphrase as it continued to grow its activities around lighting and digital connectivity. The Internet of Things is generating new business models and services — the crucial issue here being the ability to facilitate com- munication between the connected devices. Data content needs to be collected from different systems or captured using sensors. Lighting infrastructure, which is everywhere, is ideally placed to do this.

With its net4more system, Tridonic provides the hardware and software for smart lighting systems with IP connectivity. As the lighting infrastructure enables data capture and data processing, this supports functionalities that range from remote diagnosis and maintenance to space and facility management and indoor navigation. net4more includes LED drivers, communication modules or interfaces, sensors, routers, software and apps — i.e. everything needed to integrate lighting into the Internet of Things. Tridonic was the first lighting company to offer a system with open standards and IP connectivity all the way to the end node, permitting cross-system, gateway-free communications. As well as demonstrating its impressive practical applications at company headquarters in Dornbirn, Austria and at branch offices in France and Spain, the brand is also deploying net4more in pilot projects — in the UK, for example. A key benefit to our customers here is our intensive collaboration. As well as supplying the hardware, software and apps, Tridonic is constantly expanding its network of system integrators, ensuring the necessary flexibility to adapt the system or tailor the apps to specific individual needs. This might mean developing custom solutions for individual rooms, several rooms, whole buildings or facility complexes.

Growth in software development For connectivity within spaces that are used in different ways — in office buildings, for example — Tridonic expanded its basicDIM Wireless product range during the year under review. This Casambi Ready control technology allows interaction via Bluetooth with all luminaires within an area. The basis for this wireless lighting management system is located in the luminaires themselves, which have an LED module, a compatible driver and a basicDIM Wireless module. Tridonic established an outstanding market position with this technology during the year under review, as the only manufacturer already offering a comprehensive portfolio of compact wireless integrated drivers. Users operate the system using an app or via the user interface. Switching on and off or dimming functions are as straightforward as grouping luminaires and creating lighting settings. The colour temperature of Tunable White luminaires can also be controlled and sensors can easily be integrated into the system. The system was designed to offer luminaire manufacturers, installers, building operators and facility users extensive functionalities combined with ease of operation. This delivers on Tridonic’s commitment to always offer added value to its customers, helping them to differentiate their offering in the marketplace. As a key element of fulfilling this commitment, during the period under review the brand delivered on its

strategy of offering new software apps with added cus- tomer value alongside its hardware. LED drivers from Tridonic offer ingeniously designed packages of interfaces and programmability, enabling customers to programme the drivers in line with their needs. Soft- ware has become increasingly important. These products include the companionSUITE package specially developed by Tridonic for use in luminaire manufacturing, which was completed during the year under review. This software suite helps luminaire manufacturers with the generation, transmission and control of driver settings — and now also supports wireless connectivity via Near Field Communication (NFC) technology — allowing production processes to be optimised. During subsequent quality management processes the software also makes it easier to analyse and correct potential sources of error.

Smart solutions for outdoor lighting Software also played a key role in the development of smart solutions for outdoor lighting — for example in the street lighting systems operated by Spanish author- ities in Lloret de Mar, Tarragona, Sitges and Granollers. Here, using LED drivers by Tridonic made it possible to retain the existing infrastructure with its centralised controls. The new LED luminaires were fitted with premium dimmable drivers. Using a protocol developed by Tridonic to transmit signals via the mains it is now possible to programme dimming levels and adjust brightness levels in line with actual needs. The new LED luminaires can be controlled centrally by the tele- management controller via the mains. Another smart solution was deployed in the “Digital City” of Darmstadt in Germany. Darmstadt won this title in a competition organised by German telecoms association Bitkom. Now, with its Smart City concept, the city is positioning itself as a pioneer in urban digital- isation — and Tridonic experts, along with the brand’s partners, are supporting this initiative with advice on the digitalisation of street lighting. In a pilot project completed in late March 2019 many LED streetlights were fitted with Tridonic sensors as well as a radio module, set on top of the luminaire. Motion detectors enable the street lighting to react to the presence of pedestrians and cyclists, supplying brighter lighting as and when it is needed. The sensors and radio modules deliver connectivity with the Smart City platform. This provides the city authorities with key information on energy consumption, any faults that may occur and routine scheduled maintenance.

With poetry and magic: Zumtobel creates the lighting solutions of the future Blinking up at the sky, feeling the sun’s rays on your skin – it makes your heart leap with joy. Because sunlight, through our eyes, acts directly on our brain and our psyche. It lifts our spirits and motivates us. It energises or calms. Over the course of the day, light changes its intensity and colour temperature, regulating our internal body clock. Designing artificial light that is as close as possible to nature — that’s the idea behind Active Light.

Light makes learning easier: a Zumtobel study on the effects of Active Light How can long schooldays be managed more effect- ively, for both students and teachers? Active Light is the most important design factor supporting concen- tration and successful learning — whether in schools, universities or nurseries. And the cornerstone of the concept is tunableWhite technology. By adjusting light colour and intensity this innovative technology connects architecture and people. In a learning environment, Active Light’s various moods support our creativity and concentration. The Dynamic Lighting in Classrooms study, by the University of Aalborg in Denmark, investigated in detail which kinds of lighting support student learning most effectively. And the findings were implemented in Herstedlund Skole in Albertslund, Denmark, where teachers can adapt the lighting mood and learning ambience in the room to different teaching situations.

Towards the lighting solutions of the future Zumtobel stands for innovation, design and func- tionality — qualities that have always been developed through the brand’s close, long-term collaborations with architects, lighting designers and artists. A shining example here is our longstanding cooperation with the Vienna-based design studio EOOS, leading to the creation of our new SUPERSYSTEM integral collection luminaire. This is an ongoing success story: the SUPERSYSTEM product family, with its distinctive miniaturised LED spotlight heads, already had years of success behind it. Taking the logical next step forwards, this new version of the system integrates the spotlight heads into the lighting channel — hence the “integral” component of the name. Virtually invisible, almost magical — in a word, fascinating. EOOS co-founder and designer Harald Gründl presented the collection’s versatility and unique attributes using specially developed wall reliefs at the Zumtobel Light Centres in Vienna, Dornbirn and Zurich, and also at Milan Design Week 2019.

A year full of highlights — Zumtobel in dialogue with design, architecture and art At the 2018 Architecture Biennale in Venice, Zumtobel not only provided the lighting solution for the Austrian pavilion but also — as in previous years — created custom lighting solutions for projects by archi-

tects and artists LAAC and Henke Schreieck and graphic designers Sagmeister & Walsh. The Austrian pavilion was curated by Dr. Verena Konrad, Director of our close partner VAI, the Vorarlberger Architektur Institut (Vor- arlberg institute of architecture). And the brand’s cooperation with Sagmeister & Walsh went further still. What is beauty — in architecture, design and art? Through to March 2019, visitors to MAK Vienna (the Vienna museum of applied arts) were able to explore Sagmeister & Walsh’s ideas on this subject in the touring exhibition Beauty. Our sensory lighting installation plays a major role in the show. The exhibition can be seen from 11 May to 15 September 2019 at the Museum Ange- wandte Kunst (museum of applied arts) in Frankfurt am Main. Enabling visitors to experience the fascination of light for themselves is the idea behind the Zumtobel Light Centres. Based on the model of the brand’s major Light Forum at its Dornbirn head office, these Light Centres are more than just showrooms for customers: they are arenas for creative dialogue, designed by renowned architects and designers including Snøhetta and Sauerbruch Hutton. The latest addition, the Paris Light Centre, opened in December 2018. The Light Centres in Bologna and Zurich reopened following a conceptual makeover at the start of 2019. And in 2018 we celebrated 25 years of the Zumtobel Light Centre in Berlin. Thanks to a custom lighting solution, James Turrell’s “Skyspace” light-experience space in Lech, Vorarlberg — Zumtobel’s home ground — is immersed in a variety of colours. As the artist’s longstanding lighting partner, we supported him once again with the realisation of this spectacular art project. Elsewhere, Zumtobel provided thirteen kilometres of light for science for the new University of Applied Sciences build-ing (Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz) in Muttenz in Switzerland, with the specially developed linear FREELINE luminaire, part of our special collection the editions #02. For this lighting concept we worked closely with lighting design agency Reflexion and with architects pool Architekten. And as illustrated by the lighting solution for Berlin’s Futurium, visionary thinking and a passion for innovation are the engines that drive our company forwards. Alongside the lighting solution in the Futurium foyer we developed three custom solutions in collaboration with realities:united. Zumtobel’s Active Light concept is also transporting customers of the fashion label Reserved into a world of vibrant colours and soft fabrics. Since 2017 we have been lighting new Reserved stores throughout Europe in line with the Polish fashion label’s design philosophy. With Zumtobel Group Services we support our customers from the first handshake all the way to their fully operational lighting system. During the year under review, St Martin Tower in Frankfurt am Main rounded out its existing lighting solution with Zumtobel’s COMPLETE portfolio of comprehensive lighting ser- vices, as we installed turnkey Zumtobel lighting systems, including controls, for the individual rooms and floors. Lighting-related services were also to the fore in our

“Internet of Light” pilot project with French retailer E.Leclerc in Langon, France. The vision here is to grow the brand’s interaction with its customers and create unique shopping experiences based on lighting infra-structure — boosting stationary retail in the process. As always, our roadshows were a highlight during the period under review. In the 2018/19 financial year our Lights on Tour event series toured through Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Romania, Austria and Switzerland. A total of 1,615 visitors took up our invitation, finding inspiration and an opportunity to share experiences with their professional colleagues and learn from keynote presentations by high-profile speakers — including the lighting designer Nitika Agrawal and Professor Matthias Sauerbruch of Sauerbruch Hutton.

Zumtobel: lighting the way forwards Zumtobel stands for design — and not just lumi- naire design. At the 2018 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, Zumtobel won a Golden Dolphin – one of the world’s most important awards for marketing and business films. The short film, produced by Stillrolling Productions, shows how people feel in emergency situations or unfamiliar environments — and shows RESCLITE PRO emergency lighting providing safety and orientation. And the Zumtobel Group also won the iF Design Award for communication for its 2017/18 Annual Report, created by the New York design studio Sagmeister & Walsh. Zumtobel regularly receives awards for product design: during the period under review we garnered two iF Design Awards and three Red Dot Awards. Two products — the LINETIK pendant luminaire for offices, combining ultra-slim elegance with intelligent lighting technology, and the delightful light sculpture TEELA — actually won both prizes. CLARIS evolution, a revisited design classic, also won a Red Dot Award.

Innovation is our driving force: new luminaires by Zumtobel Creating lighting moods, arousing emotions, generating aesthetic effects, using light and shade to bring a space to life — these are the goals we aspire to as we develop luminaires that constantly set new standards. And our three new luminaires in the editions #02 collection look set to do just that. TEELA, ALVA and FREELINE are extravagant, stylish and — as always — individual and timeless. A fascinating new portfolio of special creations by Zumtobel. As we embark on the 2019/20 financial year, we are approaching a momentous landmark in our company’s history: Zumtobel will be celebrating its 70th anni- versary with an exclusive customer event and the opening of the new Zumtobel Group Light Forum in Dornbirn. Reaffirmed and energised by the achievements of the past financial year, we are looking forward to more innovations, successful and exciting projects, more innovative lighting solutions and further examples of our unique approach to light. Zumtobel. The Light.

General economic environment Global economic activity slowed during the 2018/19 financial year. The strong growth in 2017 and the first half of 2018 has been followed by a decline as the result of political and eco- nomic uncertainties (trade conflict between the USA and China, budget dispute between the EU and Italy, Brexit). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated global growth in 2018 at 3.6%¹ (2017/18: 3.8%), in particular due to a substantial reduction during the second half-year (3.2%). Europe, in particular, was faced with growing economic weakness. The euro zone generated GDP growth of 1.8% in 2018, compared with 2.4% in the previous year. Economic growth in the D/A/CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), an important market for the Zumtobel Group, was weaker, especially in Germany. The German eco- nomy grew by 1.5% (2017: 2.5%), while higher rates were recorded in Austria (2.7%) and Switzerland (2.5%). Economic momentum in the United Kingdom declined further to 1.4% (2017: 1.8%) as a result of the political uncertainty. Other major European economies — France (1.5%) and Italy (0.9%) — were faced with only moderate growth. The USA, in contrast to Europe, recorded stronger growth of 2.9% due to rising consumer spending (2017: 2.2%). Eco- nomic growth in China reached 6.6% in 2018, but weakened during the second half-year as a consequence of the trade dispute (6.0%). The IMF reduced its forecast for the global economy in its April 2019 report and now anticipates an increase of only 3.3% in 2019, compared with an estimate of 3.9% in the previous year’s

report. Projections for both the USA and the euro zone point to a year-on-year decline. For the United Kingdom, a further reduction of 0.2 percentage points to 1.2% is expected. The IMF sees growth in the global economy reaching 3.6% in 2020, but is also warning against potential risks: any further intensification of trade conflicts, a no-deal Brexit or ongoing fiscal uncertainties, as in Italy, could lead to substantially slower development.

Revenues Revenues recorded by the Zumtobel Group declined by 2.9% year-on-year to EUR 1,162.0 million in the 2018/19 financial year (1 May 2018 to 30 April 2019) in a lighting industry environ- ment that remained challenging. Revenue development was influenced by negative currency translation effects of EUR 7.1 million, which resulted primarily from the increase in the euro versus the Turkish lira, Australian dollar and Swedish krona. After an adjustment for these foreign exchange effects, the decline in revenues amounted to 2.3%. The LED share of Group revenues increased from 79.7% to 81.7% within twelve months. The Lighting Segment is still chal- lenged by a difficult industry environ- ment. Revenue development in 2018/19 was slowed, above all, by a substantial

decline in the United Kingdom, the most important market for the Zumtobel Group, and by very aggressive price com- petition. The reorientation of the sales organisation which began during the 2018/19 financial year has not yet pro- duced its full results. In this environ-ment, revenues in the Lighting Segment fell by 3.8% to EUR 873.7 million (2017/18: EUR 908.3 million). After an adjustment for negative foreign exchange effects, revenues were 3.6% lower than the previous year. In contrast, the Lighting Segments recorded an increase in revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018/19, with a plus of EUR 4.2 million to EUR 223.8 million (FX-adjusted: 3.1%). Revenues in the Components Seg- ment fell by 1.3% (FX-adjusted: plus 0.2%) in 2018/19. Two factors were responsible for this decline: the devalu- ation of the Turkish lira versus the reporting currency (euro) and a decrease in the demand for the Lighting Segment. It is also clearly apparent that a focus on margins in an increasingly com- petitive environment leads to satisfactory earnings, but also to slower revenue growth.

difficult industry environment. How- ever, the fourth quarter saw revenue growth in all regions — with the exception of Benelux und Eastern Europe. The D/A/CH region, the largest market in the Zumtobel Group, recorded a 0.5% decline in revenues (FX-adjusted: minus 0.6%) to EUR 355.9 million in 2018/19. Revenues exceeded the previous year in Switzerland (FX-adjusted), but were slightly lower in Austria and Germany. An analysis of the fourth quarter shows substantial revenue growth, in total, for this region. Revenues in Northern Europe fell by 7.8% to EUR 250.7 million. The Lighting Seg- ment, in particular, recorded substan- tially lower revenues in the United King- dom (ca. minus 15%). However, this region also generated moderate revenue growth in the final quarter of the year due to positive momentum, above all in the Scandinavian countries. The develop-ment of revenues in the Benelux & Eastern Europe region was disappointing and failed to match the growth recorded in earlier years. Revenues fell by 5.0% (FX-adjusted: minus 1.7%) to EUR 173.6

million in 2018/19. The Southern Euro- pean region consists primarily of Italy, Spain and France. Italy reported further revenue growth, but developments in France and Spain remained below expectations. Revenues in this region fell by 0.4% to EUR 178.2 million but increased, in total, during the fourth quarter. The Asia & Pacific region generated an increase of 0.4% (FX- adjusted: plus 1.5%) in revenues to EUR 120.9 million in 2018/19, supported by sound fourth-quarter growth in Asia. Business development in the Middle East & Africa region benefited from higher project activity, which was reflected in revenue growth of 5.8% (FX-adjusted: plus 4.3%). Revenues in the Americas region fell by 18.2% (FX- adjusted: minus 20.0%) to EUR 24.3 million, but also increased in this region during the final quarter of the reporting year.

the return on sales increased from 1.6% to 2.4%. The improvement in Group profit- ability during the reporting period was supported pri- marily by the Lighting Segment, where adjusted EBIT increased from EUR 9.4 million to EUR 21.1 million. Adjusted EBIT in the Components Segment equalled EUR 25.4 million (2017/18: EUR 31.4 million). The results of the cost reduction measures are now visible, especially in the Lighting Segment, and earnings improved during the reporting year despite the ongoing aggressive price competition. Moreover, adjusted EBIT in the previous year were negatively influenced by higher warranty provisions related primarily to long- term road lighting projects. The gross profit margin (after devel- opment costs) for the Zumtobel Group fell to 30.3% in 2018/19 (2017/18: 31.2%). Development costs included in the cost of goods sold were EUR 7.9 million lower at EUR 61.6 million (2017/18: EUR 69.5 million). The efficiency and cost reduction measures implemented in spring 2018 led to a significant reduction in selling and administrative costs. Selling expenses (incl. research) fell by 5.4% to EUR 297.0 million in 2018/19 (2017/18: EUR 313.9 million), and administrative expenses were EUR 13.2 million lower at EUR 36.2 million (2017/18: EUR 49.4 million). Other operating income, excluding special effects, reflected the

previous year at EUR 9.0 million (2017/18: EUR 9.1 million). Negative special effects of EUR 25.0 million were recorded in 2018/19 (2017/18: EUR 27.0 million). They resulted from restructuring measures involving man- agement, costs for the shutdown of production in Jennersdorf (Austria) and the write-off of capitalised development projects in connection with the adjust- ment of the product portfolio. Also included here are expenses related to further changes in the global production network and adjustments to pension obligations in the United Kingdom. Financial results improved by EUR 3.6 million year-on-year to minus EUR 12.8 million (2017/18: minus EUR 16.4 million). Interest expense is attributable primarily to the current credit agreements and to finance leases. Other financial income and expenses totalled minus EUR 6.3 million (2017/18: minus EUR 9.7 million) and include the interest expense on pension obligations as well as the income and expenses from exchange rate fluctuations which resulted from the high volatility on the foreign currency market. Profit before tax amounted to minus EUR 10.1 million in 2018/19 (2017/18: minus EUR 23.7 million), and income taxes totalled EUR 5.2 million (2017/18: EUR 23.0 million). Income taxes include

current tax expense of EUR 4.9 million and deferred taxes of EUR 0.3 million. Net profit for the reporting year there- fore totalled minus EUR 15.2 million (2017/18: minus EUR 46.7 million). Earnings per share for the shareholders of Zumtobel Group AG (basic EPS based on 43.1 million shares) equalled minus EUR 0.35 (2017/18: minus EUR 1.08).

Cash flow, financial and asset position The development of business in the Zumtobel Group follows a seasonal pattern: during the first half of the financial year (1 May to 31 October), the volume of business is normally higher because most construction projects are concluded during the summer and autumn and the installation of the lighting represents one of the last steps prior to completion. During the third quarter (1 November to 31 January), revenues are substantially lower as a result of the Christmas and winter break in the construction industry. In the fourth quarter (1 February to 30 April), the pace of business begins to accelerate again. Earnings (based on adjusted EBIT) reflect the development of rev- enues and are also subject to seasonality, which is illustrated by the significantly lower results in the second half of the

The results of the cost reduction measures are now visible, especially in the Lighting Segment, and earnings improved despite the aggressive price competition.

year. Additionally, earnings for the second half-year are often negatively influenced by expenditures for lighting industry trade fairs. Cash flow from operating results rose from EUR 53.5 million in the previous year to EUR 56.8 million due to the improvement in profitability. Working capital was further optimised during the reporting year due to strict inventory management and an increase in advance payments received. Trade receivables were broadly stable at the prior year level due to consistent receivables management, compared with a reduction in 2017/18 that resulted from the decline in revenues and the expansion of factoring. The receivables sold through factoring agreements totalled EUR 72.9 million as of 30 April 2019 (2017/18: EUR 57.9 million). Working capital amounted to EUR 172.8 million as of 30 April 2019, which repre- sents a reduction of EUR 15.3 million compared with the balance on 30 April 2018. As a per cent of rolling 12-month revenues, working capital fell from 15.7% in the previous year to 14.9%. The change in other operating positions equalled EUR 6.7 million (2017/18: minus EUR 16.8 million). The high cash outflows reported under this position in the previous year resulted, above all, from the use of provisions for restructuring and bonuses. Similarly high payments were not made in 2018/19. Cash flow from operating activities increased from EUR 49.7 million to EUR 72.7 million during the reporting year. Investments in non-current assets were slightly lower year-on-year at EUR 66.2 million in 2018/19 (2017/18: EUR 69.0 million). These expenditures consisted mainly of tools and equip-

ment for new products, expansion and maintenance investments as well as capitalised research and development costs of EUR 18.2 million (2017/18: EUR 11.1 million). The investments in 2018/19 included EUR 21.7 million for the new plant in Serbia and EUR 26.9 million for the facilities in Dornbirn (including capitalised research and development costs). Cash flow effects reported under the “changes in non- current and current financial assets” resulted chiefly from gains and losses realised on interest rate hedges. The increase in cash flow from operating activities and the reduction in investment activity were reflected in an improvement in free cash flow to EUR 3.4 million (2017/18: minus EUR 23.9 million). Cash flow from financing activities consists primarily of the replacement and refinancing of a EUR 40.0 million fixed-interest loan with a term ending in 2024 as well as a reduction in the draw-down from the consortium credit agreement. In view of the net loss recorded in 2017/18, no dividends were distributed to shareholders during the reporting year. In order to protect the ability to meet its payment obligations at any time, the Zumtobel Group maintains liquidity reserves that generally take the form of demand deposits with banks and can be used to service expected operating expenses and financial liabil- ities. The Zumtobel Group can also access extensive working capital credit lines to offset liquidity fluctuations arising from business activities. In add- ition to the consortium credit agreement and three other credit agreements, the Zumtobel Group had short-term,

unsecured credit lines totalling EUR 61.4 million at its disposal as of 30 April 2019 (2017/18: EUR 84.5 million). The consortium credit agreement concluded on 1 December 2015 with seven banks represents a major financing agreement for the Zumtobel Group. It has a term ending in November 2022 and a maximum line which currently equals EUR 200 million. The consortium credit agreement also contains a clause for an increase in the volume by up to EUR 200 million, which can be drawn under certain circumstances. As of the balance sheet date on 30 April 2019, the amount drawn under this credit agreement totalled EUR 25 million (2017/18: EUR 115 million). In addition to the consortium credit agreement, the Zumtobel Group concluded a short- term bilateral credit agreement with a volume of EUR 40 million (bullet repayment in January 2020) as well as two other long-term credit agreements of EUR 40 million each with the European Investment Bank (EIB) (bullet repayment in September 2024, respectively February 2025); all three credits were fully drawn as of 30 April 2019. These major financing agree- ments include change of control clauses that would take effect if there were a change in the absolute majority of voting rights and require compliance with financial covenants (a debt coverage ratio of less than 3.5 and an equity ratio of more than 25%). The financial covenants were met in full as of 30 April 2019 with a debt coverage ratio of 2.66 (2017/18: 2.70) and an equity ratio of 28.5% (2017/18: 27.2%). The balance sheet structure was im- proved by a reduction in the balance sheet total to EUR 920.9 million in 2018/19

(2017/18: EUR 986.1 million), which led to an increase in the equity ratio from 27.2% as of 30 April 2018 to 28.5% as of 30 April 2019. Net liabilities totalled EUR 148.7 million at the end of 2018/19 (2017/18: EUR 146.3 million), for an increase of EUR 2.4 million over the previous year. Gearing — the ratio of net debt to equity — rose from 54.5% to 56.6%. Responsible employer The success of the Zumtobel Group is based on qualified, committed and motivated employees. With its wide-ranging product portfolio and open, growth-oriented corporate culture, the Group offers attractive career opportunities for internal development and advancement. Corporate human resources, a headquarters department, defines the strategic focal points for personnel policies based on the corporate strategy and in close cooperation with the Management Board. The most important sustainability issues in the personnel area at the Group level are training and continuing education, the work-life balance, and health protection and occupational safety. The adjustment of personnel cap- acity to reflect the difficult market environment and the related necessary restructuring measures led to a decline in the workforce in earlier years and

again in 2018/19. The Zumtobel Group had 5,878 full-time employees (including contract workers) as of 30 April 2019. In addition to external training opportunities, the Zumtobel Group offers an extensive range of internal training programmes for specialised and personal development in line with the skills, know-how and needs of the respective persons. The range of programmes was further expanded in 2018/19. This was reflected in an increase in the training hours per employee to 13 in the reporting year (2017/18: 12 hours), above all due to the addition of new on- line options. The online offering was expanded through the introduction of a new learning management system (“myCAMPUS”) which focused on training for product know-how, appli- cations and sales skills in 2018/19. The Zumtobel Group has estab- lished a talent programme to focus and support the internal recruitment of men and women for key positions. Special development centres identify the individual potential of these internal talents with regard to future responsi- bilities and prepare personal development plans. This creates the basis for concrete succession and career planning and continuous management development. The Zumtobel Group views training for young people as part of its social responsibility. As of 30 April

2019, 129 (2017/18: 106) young men and women were in apprenticeship programmes with the Zumtobel Group. This company- based professional education is an important instrument to actively deal with the growing shortage of skilled workers that has resulted from demo- graphic shifts. Apprentices are currently training in the following fields: electrical engineering (incl. automation and process control engineering), electronics, plastics engineering, mechatronics (incl. a special robotics module) and IT engineering. Of the apprentices trained in the Zumtobel Group, 77% remain with the corporation after completing their education. An effective work-life balance for employees is an important factor for strengthening the Zumtobel Group’s position as an attractive employer. The key points in this context are the fundamentally changing demands of new generations on the labour market and measures to support the recon- ciliation of career and family life for working parents. The Zumtobel Group helps to improve the work-life balance by continually increasing the offering of flexible working time models. Part- time employment, educational leave, sabbaticals, parental leave for fathers, home office options or other models are arranged where needed and permitted by the respective position. The number of part-time employees rose from 6.9% of the total full-time equivalent

workforce in the previous year to 8.5% in 2018/19. A works agreement also provides for a free-time option under which employees can reduce their working hours — for personal reasons and without changing to part-time status — in exchange for waiving part or the entire amount of their salary or wage increase and arrange for paid time-off (for example, for age-based work, educa- tional programmes or to accumulate longer free-time periods over several years). This free-time option has since been elected by more than 430 em- ployees. At the end of 2018/19, 80 em- ployees in Austria were on parental leave (2017/18: 89). Mothers and fathers who return to work after maternity and parental leave are actively supported in their reintegration. As an employer with a strong cor- porate culture that has grown over many decades, the Zumtobel Group is well aware of its social responsibility for the employees in its many companies throughout the world and remains focused on the further development of responsible working conditions. The Zumtobel Group believes in and pro- motes the open and regular exchange of information between the Management

Board, employees and their represen- tatives. Compliance with the legal partici- pation rights of employees and the principles and standards defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO) represent an integral part of the code of conduct, which is mandatory for all companies in the Zumtobel Group. Collective agreements cover 54% of the worldwide workforce. Diversity among the workforce is an important factor for protecting the Group’s competitive ability and creating an innovative working climate. The men and women employed by the Zumtobel Group come from nearly 80 different nations, whereby the staff at the corporate headquarters in Dornbirn, Austria, represent roughly 50 nations. The Zumtobel Group believes in equal opportunity regardless of gender and ethnic origin. This policy is also part of the Group’s code of conduct, which prohibits all forms of discrimination. Accordingly, the personnel decisions in all corporate areas and at all management levels are based on experience, quali- fications and performance. The share of women in the Zumtobel Group’s work- force currently equals 35.7% (2017/18: 35.8%). There is no specific target for the

appointment of women to management positions, but internal and external recruiting and personnel development measures are increasingly aimed in this direction. The Dr Walter Zumtobel Value Award, which carries the name of the Group’s founder, was also presented in 2018/19. It is given to persons who demonstrate the corporate values in their everyday actions and, in this way, keep the founder’s values alive. The Zumtobel Group values personal initiative, commit- ment, entrepreneurship and an interest in making new discoveries. Reliability, team spirit, solidarity and honesty, as well as a positive approach to change, are also key elements of the corporate culture.

Research and development Research and development (R&D) remains a decisive factor for the success and economic sustainability of the Zumtobel Group through its role in the development of new products and systems and the application of new tech- nologies. The goal of R&D is to protect and expand the competitive product portfolio by further strengthening the Zumtobel Group’s outstanding tech- nology position and innovative power with research and development investments that reflect industry levels as well as an extensive portfolio of patents, consistent product and system development and extensive cooperation with external research partners. The increased use of product configuration and variant management, efficiency improvements in the product develop- ment process, the reduction of R&D locations and the increased capitalisation of development expenses led to the

realisation of additional synergy effects in 2018/19 as well as a reduction of 9.8% in R&D costs to EUR 66.2 million. The Zumtobel Group’s innovative strength is closely linked to research and development. An extensive patent portfolio, also in the area of new tech- nologies, gives the Zumtobel Group a competitive advantage as well as access to strategic cooperation with other com- panies and the opportunity to conclude cross-licensing agreements with key mar- ket players. In 2018/19 the Lighting Seg- ment registered 40 patents (2017/18: 33) and the Components Segment 59 patents (2017/18: 95), which underscore the growing importance of intelligent com- ponents. The number of active com-mercial property rights — currently 8,430, including 5,001 patents — speak for the company’s innovative strength. Statistics on the share of revenues generated with new products (products not older than three years) are compiled each year: in 2018/19 the Lighting Segment recorded 45.2% (2017/18: 40.4%) and the Components Segment 57.1% (2017/18: 69.5%) of their revenues with new products. The Zumtobel Group is also placing a greater focus on the expansion of technology partnerships as a means of protecting its competitive product portfolio. Participation in national and international research pro- jects allows the Zumtobel Group to

continuously demonstrate its innovative strength and increase its brand repu- tation. The focal points for R&D activities are derived from the “functional chain” of lighting: light sources, optics, control gears, interfaces, sensor technology and connectivity, luminaires, light management and comprehensive lighting solutions. Accordingly, the most important issues include new optical concepts for the direction of light, new control gears and concepts for the operation of LEDs, new wire-guided and wireless information transfer with new data formats, sensors to compile relevant data and new approaches for the management of lighting systems. The levelling-out of the efficiency increase in LEDs and the increased processor and storage performance of control gears is shifting the focus of development from the lighting function and the luminaire to intelligent com- ponents, communication and services. R&D is still significantly influenced by the further development of LED technology. The Zumtobel Group plays an active role in these changes and the development of standards through its participation in numerous established national and international committees (International Electrotechnical Commis- sion, Commission internationale de l’éclairage). However, R&D is also

Examples, among others, are the Technical University in Eindhoven (Netherlands), NTB Interstate University of Applied Sciences of Technology Buchs (Switzerland), the Materials Center Leoben (Austria), FH JOANNEUM Research (Austria), Graz University of Technology (Austria), Cambridge Uni- versity (United Kingdom) and the Instituto de Telecomunicações Aveiro (Portugal). The Group also maintains development partnerships with industrial firms like ARM, Bosch, Cisco, Dialog, IBM, Johnson Controls, NXP, NO-ESI, Fraunhofer, VTT and others.

Dividend policy Zumtobel Group AG follows a con- tinuous dividend policy, which calls for a distribution of approximately 30% to 50% of consolidated net profit after the deduction of possible special effects. In view of the weak earnings develop-ment, a distribution of dividends is not planned for the 2018/19 financial year.

Outlook and goals The new Management Board which was installed in spring 2018 implemented a number of urgently required operat- ing measures during the past financial year to stabilise the business and — with a significantly streamlined management team — developed and approved the Zumtobel Group’s new FOCUS strategy.

The key elements of this strategy include an even stronger customer orientation, combined with a reduction in complexity and lower costs. The new strategy was rolled out and implemented in 2018/19. The market- based segments were upgraded, the three core brands were strengthened, and the sales function was reoriented and positioned even closer to customers. At the same time, corporate functions were cut back and administrative costs were substantially reduced. The product portfolio was also streamlined, and operating processes were adjusted to lower production costs. All these steps combined to improve the Zumtobel Group’s competitive position and create the basis for additional market and cost savings opportunities. This new strategy reflects the Zumtobel Group’s clear goal to generate added value for all stakeholders (shareholders, customers and employees). In order to drive revenue growth, the Zumtobel Group intends to strengthen its positioning in the global lighting industry as part of its current reorientation. The goal for the Lighting Segment — with the core Zumtobel and Thorn brands — is to become the market leader in Europe with a focus on applications in industry, office & edu- cation, shop & retail and art & culture. Outdoor applications will concentrate on lighting for urban areas and roads. The Components Segment with its tech-

influenced by the increasing intel- ligence of systems and the need for higher- performance inter- faces. In addition, the importance of software as a differentiation element is growing. Luminaires and, consequently, their components are becoming part of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the required interfaces have not yet been defined or are still incomplete, and competing interfaces have already entered the market. Through its partici- pation in numerous committees, the Zumtobel Group is contributing to the development of industry standards for these interfaces. OpenAIS (Open Architectures for Intelligent Solid State Lighting Systems), an EU research project, was successfully completed in mid-2018. The Group is also a member of the Zhaga Alliance and the DiiA (Digital Illumination Interface Alliance), which are addressing the standardisation of lighting components and digital interfaces for lighting equipment. Active participation in the design of standards for Internet-ready lighting solutions based on IP is another focus of activities, whereby the Thread, Fairhair and Bluetooth alliances are important players in this area with their work on IoT solutions. In addition to established cooper- ation with universities such as Ilmenau, Berlin, Hamburg and Darmstadt (all in Germany), Graz (Austria) and Zurich (Switzerland) in the areas of lighting and lighting technology as well as architecture, the Zumtobel Group is also increasing its interaction with

nology brand Tridonic will expand globally based on innovative hardware (drivers, LED modules) and software solutions for smart and integrated light- ing and lighting systems. The Zumtobel Group will also increase its focus on the future field of digital lighting as well as services and turnkey solutions. The Management Board of the Zumtobel Group sees the 2019/20 financial year as a year of transformation, in which the focus of activities will return to the continuous improvement of the operating business and growth — in spite of the weakening market environ- ment. For the 2019/20 financial year, the Management Board expects a slight increase in revenues as well as an improvement in the adjusted EBIT margin to 3 – 5% (FY 2018/19: 2.4%). The medium-term goal of generating an EBIT margin of roughly 6% by the 2020/21 financial year remains intact.
