1. BUSINESS REPORT 1.1 GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GROUP SIXT SE Group Quarterly Statement as at 30 September 2021 After the business development of the Sixt Group was still strongly affected by the effects of the worldwide COVID - 19 pandemic , especially in the first quarter of the current year , Sixt recorded a significant increase in demand in the course of the second and third quarter . The recovery was initially driven by the United States , but shortly afterwards also started in Europe , with high demand partic ularly in European tourist regions such as France , Spain and Italy . Increasing travel activities , especially in Europe and the United States , as well as the continued good market price level due to the shortage of available vehicles , led to a very strong operating result in the third quarter , which is the quarter with the highest seasonal demand due to the summer and holiday months anyway . The strategic investments in internationalisation and digitisation are increas ingly paying off , and Sixt's already strong market position in important car rental markets was thus further strengthened in the reporting period . In August 2021 , for example , Sixt achieved the highest market share among car rental companies at Miami Airport for the first time . In the first nine months of the financial year , Sixt achieved consolidated revenue of EUR 1.63 billion . This corresponds to a significant increase of 38.2 % compared to the same period of the previous year ( 9M 2020 : EUR 1.18 billion ) .
