Sixt records EBT of approximately EUR 86 million
and healthy growth in 2008

Pullach, 25 February 2009 - The Sixt Group again recorded substantial
growth in financial year 2008, increasing consolidated operating
revenue from its rental and leasing business by 10% to EUR 1.53
billion (2007: EUR 1.38 billion). However, growth in the fourth
quarter (+6% as against Q4 2007) was clearly down on the trend for
the first nine months of 2008 (+12%) and also below expectations.
Since the measures taken to adapt the rental fleet to the changes in
market conditions require a certain time to take effect, the Group
was impacted by disproportionately high fleet expenses in the fourth
quarter. Furthermore, the intensification of the financial crisis in
the last quarter led to another increase in financing costs.
Therefore, Group profit before taxes (EBT) will total approximately
EUR 86 million for full-year 2008 instead of the planned figure of
roughly EUR 100 million.

For financial year 2009, the Managing Board currently expects demand
for mobility services to be roughly stable in the core European
countries. In view of the difficult market environment, Sixt is
planning a smaller rental fleet, which is expected to lead to a
corresponding decline in fleet costs from the second quarter onwards.
Providing that no unforeseen negative events occur that have a
material impact on the Group, Sixt expects EBT to again be clearly
positive in 2009.

Sixt AG will announce the other key data for 2008 as planned on 19
March 2009.
