Quarterly figures

Sixt continues double-digit growth after first nine months of 2008 -
earnings impacted by higher fleet and financing costs

Pullach, 20 November 2008 - In the first nine months of 2008, the
Sixt Group recorded significant, above-market revenue growth in both
the Vehicle Rental and Leasing Business Units. Consolidated profit
remains at a high level, but was affected by a clear increase in
fleet costs and by higher net finance costs. Consolidated operating
revenue from vehicle rental and leasing activities (excluding revenue
from the sale of used leasing vehicles) - the best measure of Sixt's
performance - rose by 12.1% to EUR 1.15 billion in the period from
January to September (first nine months of 2007: EUR 1.02 billion).
This was due to good domestic demand and continuing dynamic growth in
Sixt's international business. The Vehicle Rental Business Unit
generated revenue growth of 11.6% to EUR 832.6 million. Revenue from
leasing activities increased by 13.7% in the first nine months to EUR
313.5 million. Total consolidated revenue (including revenue from the
sale of used leasing vehicles) amounted to EUR 1.34 billion after
nine months (prior-year period: EUR 1.17 billion; +14.4%).

Despite the increase in costs in the operating business, consolidated
earnings before net finance costs and taxes (EBIT) reached EUR 143.1
million in the first nine months, up 3.6% on the prior-year figure
(EUR 138.1 million). The decrease in consolidated profit before taxes
(EBT) from EUR 110.9 million to EUR 95.9 million (-13.5%) is due
exclusively to substantially higher net finance costs. As in the
first half of the year, this was due to a decline in net income from
the measurement of interest rate hedging instruments, as well as
higher interest payments associated with financing the expanded
fleet.

Consolidated profit after minority interests amounted to EUR 66.1
million after nine months, 7.7% less than in the same period of the
previous year (EUR 71.6 million).

In the third quarter of 2008, consolidated operating revenue reached
EUR 408.8 million (Q3 2007: EUR 373.0 million; +9.6%). At EUR 51.4
million, EBIT was down 5.3% on the prior-year quarter (EUR 54.2
million). As a result of the effects on net finance costs already
mentioned, EBT was EUR 30.1 million (Q3 2007: EUR 40.3 million;
-25.2%).

The overall conditions for Sixt's business have continued to
deteriorate in key markets since September due to the general
economic downturn and the financial crisis. The higher level of costs
in Sixt's operating business, rising financing costs and the slump on
the German used vehicle market will continue to dampen earnings
performance in the fourth quarter. The impact of the economic
downturn on demand for mobility services cannot yet be clearly
estimated.

Despite this adverse environment, the Managing Board is reiterating
its goal of increasing consolidated operating revenue in full-year
2008. Consolidated EBT is expected to reach a figure of around EUR
100 million. This forecast assumes that there are no negative events
with a major impact on the Group.
