Sixt SE to pay record dividend of EUR 188 million
* Annual General Meeting approves substantial dividend increase for the
financial year 2017
* Chairman of the Managing Board Erich Sixt: "Sixt has never been better
off than it is today. We are excellently positioned to continue our
internationalisation."
Munich, 21 June 2018 - At today's Annual General Meeting in Munich, the
shareholders of Sixt SE approved a dividend payment of EUR 188 million for
the financial year 2017. This will far exceed the highest dividend ever paid
by the international mobility service provider, more than doubling the total
dividend paid in the previous year (EUR 78 million). The dividend will
amount to EUR 4.00 per ordinary share and EUR 4.02 per preference share,
including a bonus payment of EUR 2.05 each. The dividend will be paid on 26
June.
"Sixt has never been better off," Erich Sixt, Chairman of the Managing Board,
announced to the shareholders. He made specific reference to the successful
international expansion of Germany's largest car rental company into Western
Europe and the US, the world's largest car rental market. "We are
excellently positioned to continue our internationalisation," he added.
The next important strategic step on the agenda is to build a unique
offering that combines and integrates all relevant Sixt mobility products
under one roof, including carsharing, classic car rental and transfer
services. The Company founded its "SIXT X" division for this purpose, which
bundles all new mobility topics across departments in the Sixt Group.
Erich Sixt: "We want to offer a one-stop service that can cover mobility
needs in a variety of ways and offer customers - both private and corporate
- the greatest possible flexibility."
The Chairman of the Managing Board reaffirmed the previous forecast for the
financial year 2018 at the Annual General Meeting: The Managing Board
expects significant increases in both Group's operating revenue and Group's
earnings before taxes (EBT) compared with the figures from 2017.
With 73.7% of the voting capital and 48.9% of the total share capital
present, the shareholders approved all items on the agenda by a large
majority.
