Sixt SE provided consolidated earnings guidance for the first half year and full fiscal year 2017. For the first half, earnings before taxes (EBT) are expected slightly above EUR 100 million. This significant increase is to a large extend based on an increased profit of the Vehicle Rental Unit abroad, in particular in France and the United States. As a consequence of the business development during the first half year and business performance recorded so far in the third quarter, the Managing Board expects a significant growth of consolidated EBT for the full fiscal year 2017 (2016: EUR 218.3 million). With regard to the consolidated operating revenue for the full year (2016: EUR 2,124 million) the Managing Board now expects a solid growth. The Board's previous projections had assumed a stable to slightly increased EBT and a slight growth in consolidated operating revenue.
