Sixt's third-quarter revenue grew nearly 12 percent year over year, with growth across all three of its geographic regions, the Germany-based car rental company reported Thursday.
Overall third-quarter revenue increased 11.8 percent year over year to nearly €1.5 billion. Revenue in Germany increased 11.1 percent to €371.6 million, while Europe without Germany increased 14.7 percent to €688.6 million. North America revenue was €416.8 million, up 7.7 percent from the prior year.
Earnings before taxes were €281.8 million, a 9 percent increase year over year, which Sixt called "the second-strongest quarterly result in the company's history."
Rental fleet at the end of the third quarter was about 248,300 vehicles, an increase of 11.4 percent year over year.
The number of Sixt branches in Germany as of Sept. 30 was 378, down one from a year prior. In Europe outside Germany, there were 534 branches compared with 496 in Q3 2025. North America reported 155 branches, up from 141 a year earlier.
Sixt projects full-year group revenue to increase year over year to €4.7 billion, up from the prior forecast of €4.45 billion to €4.6 billion, "despite political uncertainties and a persistently competitive market."
