The theoretical parts provide the essential knowledge about financial analysis in terms of definition, goals, sources and methods for approaching different dimension of corporate finance. The practical parts are the application of those methodologies to the case of SIXT SE based on the information collected from the company financial statements and external relevant sources. The outcome of this thesis dedicates a fluctuation of SIXT SE throughout the reported period in terms of financial health, especially the last year of 2020, due to strategic planning changes and the external factors of Covid-19. The reorganisation, along with the development of the integrated application, created different performed positions of components in all financial statements, particularly other income and investing cashflow in the first 04 years. Meanwhile, the situation in 2020 required the company to be more liquid by disposing a large amount of rental vehicles to convert to cash and similarities. As a result, the company is recommended to approach flexible and sustainable practises to manage its financial sources for an optimising and meaningful business in the future.
