SIXT Sees Steady Growth in Q1 2026 with Revenue Reaching EUR 929 Million

Car rental company SIXT recorded a solid beginning to 2026, seeing revenues soar to EUR 928.9 million in the first quarter, marking a 12.6% year-over-year increase when adjusted for currency. The pre-tax earnings also witnessed an improvement by EUR 19.7 million, culminating in EUR 2.1 million. The company confirms its annual revenue prediction of EUR 4.45 to 4.60 billion with an EBT margin of around 10%.

Alexander Sixt, Co-CEO, credited the growth to a well-defined strategy focusing on premium vehicle investments and an expanding global presence. With the addition of nearly 200 branches worldwide, SIXT's robust network reflects its sustained expansion efforts. Furthermore, the launch of the SIXT ONE loyalty program in Canada continues to strengthen customer relationships and generate recurrent revenue.

The equity base stands strong at EUR 2.2 billion, promoting stability amid economic uncertainty, according to CFO Dr. Franz Weinberger. Looking ahead, SIXT remains optimistic about achieving its full-year financial goals despite market fluctuations.
