This marked a significant outperformance versus the consensus forecast, which had called for a €1.5 million loss, and represented a dramatic improvement from the €17.6 million loss recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.Quarterly revenue totaled €928.9 million, climbing 12.6% on a currency-adjusted basis and exceeding analyst projections of €911 million.Net income turned positive at €1.5 million, reversing from a €12.6 million deficit in Q1 2025. This improvement highlights the company’s enhanced operational efficiency and more strategic fleet utilization.Corporate EBITDA climbed 40.2% year-over-year to €67.7 million, also beating analyst forecasts. The company’s fleet expanded 8.4% to 182,900 vehicles, not including franchise partner operations.<blockquote>Co-CEO Alexander Sixt attributed the performance to disciplined execution: “a tight, demand-oriented fleet, sustained strong investments in premium vehicles, brand, network, and above all technology.”</blockquote><h3 id="performance-across-key-markets">Performance Across Key Markets</h3>European markets outside Germany delivered the most robust growth, with revenue climbing 16.2% to €344.7 million. The German domestic market posted solid gains as well, with revenue increasing 11.5% to €271.2 million.Revenue from North America declined 1.9% to €310.3 million, though this decrease was primarily attributable to currency translation effects. According to Jefferies analysis, the region actually expanded 9.2% on an organic constant-currency basis.While the foreign exchange headwind in North America warrants monitoring, the fundamental demand trends in the region remain positive.<h3 id="2026-outlook-maintained">2026 Outlook Maintained</h3>Sixt retained its full-year 2026 financial guidance without modification. Management continues to project revenue in the range of €4.45 billion to €4.60 billion, accompanied by a pre-tax profit margin “in the area” of 10%.The midpoint of this revenue guidance stands at €4.525 billion, closely aligned with the €4.54 billion consensus estimate. The implied pre-tax earnings of approximately €453 million exceed the consensus forecast of €446.9 million.<blockquote>CFO Franz Weinberger emphasized the company’s confidence in maintaining its targets “despite increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.”</blockquote>The first-quarter performance represents a complete turnaround from the losses sustained twelve months earlier. With guidance unchanged and demand remaining resilient across most major markets, these results provide investors with greater visibility as Sixt approaches the peak summer travel period.The post <a href="https://blockonomi.com/sixt-se-sixg-stock-surges-nearly-5-on-strong-q1-earnings-performance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sixt SE (SIXG) Stock Surges Nearly 5% on Strong Q1 Earnings Performance</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blockonomi.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockonomi</a>.
