Quarterly figures
Record figures again for the Sixt Group in Q1 2007 -
Additional forecast details provided
Pullach, 23 May 2007 - Sixt AG once  again  generated  record  
figures  for  its operating revenue and operating profit  in  the  
first  three  months  of  2007, continuing its growth path of the  
previous  year.  Consolidated  profit  before taxes (EBT) increased 
by 11.6%, from EUR 32.7 million in the prior-year  quarter to EUR 
36.5 million. Consolidated profit for  the  quarter  increased  by  
12.9% from EUR 20.1 million to EUR 22.7 million.
Consolidated operating revenue  from  rental  and  leasing  business 
(excluding revenue from the sale of used leasing  vehicles),  which  
best  reflects  Sixt's business development, rose by 9.0% in the 
first  quarter  to  EUR 309.4  million (Q1  2006: EUR 283.7  
million).   Foreign   business   continued   its   buoyant 
development, boosting operating revenue  from  EUR 48.1  million  in 
the  first quarter of 2006 to EUR 59.1 million, an increase of 22.8%.
Total consolidated revenue (including revenue from  the  sale  of  
used  leasing vehicles) was EUR 362.5 million, 4.6% less  than  in  
the  same  period  of  the previous year (EUR 379.9 million). The 
reason for  this  was  the  substantially lower sales revenue in the 
leasing business, which  is  subject  to  significant fluctuation 
depending on individual decisions how vehicles  are  refinanced  and 
as a result of closing date effects.
Both Business Units recorded an improvement in sales and earnings in 
the  first quarter  of  2007.  The  Vehicle  Rental  Business  Unit  
generated  revenue  of EUR 222.0 million (Q1 2006: EUR 199.2 million;
+11.4%)  with  EBT  of  EUR 31.2 million (Q1 2006: EUR 28.5 million; 
+9.1%). The Leasing Business Unit  generated revenue from leasing 
business of EUR 87.4 million  (Q1  2006: EUR 84.5  million; +3.4%) 
with EBT of EUR 3.1 million (Q1 2006: EUR 2.9 million; +8.5%).
Given the encouraging business developments  in  the  first  three  
months,  the Managing Board sees its optimistic predictions for 
full-year 2007 confirmed.  It has firmed up its forecasts to date and
is anticipating growth of 5% to  10%  in consolidated operating 
revenue, with consolidated earnings growing at  a  faster rate. This 
continues to assume that the necessary price  adjustments  will  gain
acceptance  in  the  market,  that  the  macroeconomic  situation  
develops   as forecast, that the used-car market does not deteriorate
and that  no  unforeseen negative events with a major impact on the 
Group occur.
