“This quarter’s results reflect the disciplined execution of our strategy and our consistent commercial strength,” said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. “Our performance demonstrates the progress we’re making in transforming the business and delivering tangible operational improvements across the company. Revenue increased 10% year over year despite operating with a 1% smaller fleet, driven by our strongest second quarter RPD on record, excluding the extraordinary market conditions in 2022.”

On the Company’s strategic priorities, West added: “To unlock long-term opportunities, we’re strengthening our core business while building a platform for growth across four strategic areas: Rent-a-Car, Service, Fleet, and Mobility. We are applying our commercial, operational, and fleet management capabilities across these areas to drive greater efficiency, establish diverse engines of growth, and create long-term value.”

ESTERO, Fla, August 6, 2026 – Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) (“Hertz,” “Hertz Global,” or the “Company”) today reported results for its second quarter 2026.

Q2 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue totaled $2.4 billion in the second quarter, up 10% year over year, driven by Hertz’s strongest second quarter Revenue per Day (RPD) on record, excluding the pandemic peak in 2022.
• Year-over-year Revenue per Unit (RPU) and RPD metrics continued reflecting sequential improvements, with RPU up 8% and RPD up 9% through strong pricing performance.
• GAAP net income for the quarter totaled $64 million and Diluted GAAP EPS was $0.05. Adjusted net loss was $47 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $(0.11).
• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $81 million, representing a $63 million year-over-year improvement and coming in above the top end of revised guidance.
• Total Utilization was 79% in the second quarter, an increase of 80 basis points year-over-year; excluding elevated recalls, Total Utilization was 81%, up 190 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• Net Depreciation per Unit per Month (Net DPU) was $302 in in the second quarter, consistent with the Company’s revised guidance. Hertz’s U.S. core fleet now consists of approximately 94% model year 2025 and 2026 vehicles.
• Adjusted Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Day increased 4% year over year; slightly higher than the Company’s expectations, due primarily to higher revenue-related variable costs and higher expenses related to sale leaseback transactions. When normalizing for these factors and the Days impact of recalls, Adjusted DOE per Day improved approximately 2% year over year.
• The spread between RPD and DOE per Day improved by 17% on a year-over-year basis, representing the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year spread improvement.
• Hertz ended the second quarter with approximately $984 million of liquidity, in line with its prior guidance of just under $1 billion. The Company continues to view liquidity as a growth enabler and remains confident in its ability to fund the business and execute its transformation.
• The Company’s operating affiliate, Oro Mobility, is gaining momentum. Oro drivers have completed more than six million miles to date and its first AV partnership is progressing and expected to begin operations later this year in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Q2 SUMMARY
Hertz’s second quarter results reflect continued progress in its transformation strategy, with disciplined commercial execution driving strong performance across the business. The Company delivered $2.4 billion in revenue, up 10% year over year. Continued commercial momentum drove RPU above both the Company’s expectations and its North Star target, increasing 8% year over year despite elevated recalls. RPD increased 9%, which was Hertz’s strongest second quarter RPD on record, excluding the pandemic peak in 2022. This performance was driven by the continued strength of Hertz’s commercial playbook and its ability to maintain strong supply discipline at airports, as well as a small incremental bonus from the World Cup. As a result of this continued momentum, backed by a more balanced industry supply-demand environment, Hertz’s full-year RPU is expected to trend above its North Star target of $1,500.

The Company produced Net DPU in line with its revised expectations at $302. Forward views on residual values remain stable, and through its disciplined fleet strategy, Hertz expects to achieve its Net DPU target of at or below $300 for the full year. The Company now holds its youngest fleet in a dozen years, with 94% of its U.S. core fleet now comprised of model year 2025 and 2026 vehicles, which Hertz expects will produce better economics than prior model year vehicles.

Adjusted DOE per Day was $37.49, which was slightly higher than the Company’s expectations, driven primarily by higher revenue-related variable costs and higher expenses related to sale leaseback transactions. When normalizing for these factors and the Days impact of recalls, Adjusted DOE per Day improved approximately 2% year over year. As revenue increases, certain operating costs move in tandem, emphasizing the importance of the Company’s RPD-to-DOE per Day spread, which improved 17% year over year, marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year spread improvement.

Recall activity was approximately 300% higher year over year and continued to be a measurable headwind to the business, impacting an average of nearly 15,000 vehicles. The estimated year-over-year impact to GAAP Net Income was $27 million and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was approximately $30 million. Despite that, the Company still produced a significant year-over-year increase in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.

Hertz ended the quarter with $984 million of liquidity, which includes cash and cash equivalents and the available capacity under our revolving credit facility. This was in line with the Company’s guidance of just under $1 billion. In June, the Company completed the issuance of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 for a total of $350 million, which used capacity created through expiring revolving commitments as well as from term loan amortization. In addition, Hertz added an additional $30 million of notes in July as part of the exercising of the greenshoe, bringing the Company’s pro forma liquidity post transaction to slightly over $1 billion.

PLATFORM FOR GROWTH
Hertz’s transformation continues to focus on two complementary objectives: strengthening its core rental business while building a diversified platform for long-term growth. The Company’s platform spans Rent-a-Car, Service, Fleet, and Mobility, each with unique potential to scale, and collectively benefiting from Hertz’s operational, commercial, and fleet management capabilities.

During the second quarter, Hertz advanced several of its highest-priority platform initiatives. It has made great strides in shoring up its Rent-a-Car business. One of the greatest opportunities remains more effectively leveraging the power of the Hertz brand. The Company is focused on realizing the full potential of its franchise business and is evaluating near-term opportunities across its global footprint through both whitespace expansion and conversion activity.

In Fleet, building on its unique competitive advantage as one of the largest dealers in the country, the Company is exploring how to deepen existing relationships with the leading used car companies and establish new partnerships with best-in-class retailers. Hertz continued enhancing its direct retail channels via Hertz Car Sales by growing retail sales volumes, reducing reconditioning costs, and delivering strong F&I performance.

In Mobility, Hertz’s affiliated operating company, Oro, is gaining momentum. Through its driver-led managed fleet business, in which it maintains and operates vehicles for drivers supporting rideshare platforms, Oro is now active in four markets, and its drivers have logged over six million miles to date. This business validates Oro’s ability to deliver turnkey fleet solutions at scale today, while also creating a pathway to operating AV fleets at scale. Oro’s first AV partnership with Uber’s robotaxi program, supporting Lucid vehicles equipped with Nuro autonomous technology, is on track to begin operations later this year in the San Francisco Bay Area.

ESTERO, Fla., June 25, 2026 — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) (“Hertz” or the “Company”), a leading global rental car company, today announced that its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz Corp.”), has priced an offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Exchangeable Senior First-Lien Secured PIK Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Hertz Corp. also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $300 million. The offering is expected to close on or about June 29, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Hertz Corp. estimates that the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount but before estimated offering expenses payable by Hertz Corp., will be approximately $339.5 million (or approximately $388.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional Notes). Hertz Corp. intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will bear interest from, and including, June 29, 2026, the issue date of the Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2027. Each payment of interest on the Notes (excluding any additional interest, special interest and default interest) will consist of (i) 3.375% of such interest payment to be paid in cash and (ii) 3.375% of such interest payment to be paid in the form of PIK interest. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to maturity.

The Notes will be exchangeable at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Notes will be exchangeable on the terms set forth in the indenture governing the Notes into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or a combination thereof, at Hertz Corp.’s election. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange of the Notes may not exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the offering of the Notes unless and until the shareholders of the Company approve such issuance.

The exchange rate will initially be 279.5248 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 capitalized principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $3.58 per share of Common Stock). The initial exchange price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5% above the public offering price of $2.70 per share of the Borrowed Shares in the concurrent offering of the Borrowed Shares described below. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) occurs, Hertz Corp. will, in certain circumstances, increase the exchange rate for a specified time for holders who exchange their Notes in connection with that make-whole fundamental change.

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require Hertz Corp. to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes at 100% of their capitalized principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid cash interest to, but excluding, the date of such repurchase, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events constituting a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the Notes. Hertz Corp. may not redeem the Notes prior to January 6, 2029. On or after January 6, 2029 and on or prior to the 31st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price for the Notes for certain specified periods, and certain other conditions are satisfied, Hertz Corp. may redeem all or any portion (subject to certain limitations) of the Notes at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the capitalized principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid cash interest to, but excluding, the date of such redemption.

The Notes are expected to be guaranteed by the Company, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Hertz Corp.’s direct parent company, and each of Hertz Corp.’s existing domestic subsidiaries and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under Hertz Corp.’s first lien credit facilities or certain other indebtedness for borrowed money. The Notes and the related guarantees (other than the guarantee by the Company) are expected to be secured (subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens) on a first-lien basis by the same assets (other than certain excluded property) that secure indebtedness under Hertz Corp.’s first lien credit facilities and existing first lien secured notes, and are therefore expected to be effectively pari passu with indebtedness under Hertz Corp.’s first lien credit facilities and existing first lien secured notes.

The Notes and the related guarantees were offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes, the related guarantees and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, Hertz also announced today by separate press release the pricing of a separate registered public offering of 37,037,037 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.70 per share. Such shares (the “Borrowed Shares”) will be loaned by Hertz to a financial institution (the “Share Borrower”), acting as an underwriter in the offering of the Borrowed Shares, pursuant to a share lending agreement. The Share Borrower or its affiliates will receive all of the proceeds of the concurrent offering of Borrowed Shares and neither Hertz nor Hertz Corp. will receive any of the proceeds of that offering, but the Share Borrower will pay Hertz a nominal lending fee for the use of the Borrowed Shares pursuant to the share lending agreement. The Share Borrower will be required to return the Borrowed Shares (or identical shares of Common Stock) to the Company pursuant to the terms of the share lending agreement. Hertz has been informed by the Share Borrower that it or one of its affiliates intends to sell the Borrowed Shares and use the resulting short position to facilitate transactions by which investors in the Notes may hedge their investments through short sales or privately negotiated derivatives transactions. The activity described above could affect the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes otherwise prevailing from time to time.

This press release is not an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, the Notes, the related guarantees, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes or the Borrowed Shares and does not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The concurrent offering of the Borrowed Shares is contingent upon the closing of the offering of the Notes. The offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the closing of the concurrent offering of the Borrowed Shares.

Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, Hertz also announced today by separate press release that Hertz has commenced a separate registered public offering of $100 million of the Common Stock. Such shares (the “Borrowed Shares”) will be loaned by Hertz to a financial institution (the “Share Borrower”), acting as an underwriter in the offering of the Borrowed Shares, pursuant to a share lending agreement. The Share Borrower or its affiliates will receive all of the proceeds of the concurrent offering of Borrowed Shares and neither Hertz nor Hertz Corp. will receive any of the proceeds of that offering, but the Share Borrower will pay Hertz a nominal lending fee for the use of the Borrowed Shares pursuant to the share lending agreement. The Share Borrower will be required to return the Borrowed Shares (or identical shares of Common Stock) to the Company pursuant to the terms of the share lending agreement. Hertz has been informed by the Share Borrower that it or one of its affiliates intends to sell the Borrowed Shares and use the resulting short position to facilitate transactions by which investors in the Notes may hedge their investments through short sales or privately negotiated derivatives transactions. The activity described above could affect the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes otherwise prevailing from time to time.

This press release is not an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, the Notes, the related guarantees, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes or the Borrowed Shares and does not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The concurrent offering of the Borrowed Shares is contingent upon the closing of the offering of the Notes, but the offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the closing of the concurrent offering of the Borrowed Shares.

With the launch of Oro Mobility, Hertz expands into new mobility channels and advances its platform for growth

“The transformation of Hertz continues to build sustained momentum,” said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. “We set ambitious goals for the quarter and delivered meaningful progress across revenue, asset efficiency, and unit economics. We achieved our strongest year‑over‑year revenue growth in three years alongside profitability improvements, demonstrating that our strategy is translating into tangible results.”

On the Company’s recent news, West added: “The launch of Oro Mobility marks an important milestone in the expansion of the Hertz growth platform. As the mobility ecosystem evolves, there is a clear need for an operational layer that connects demand platforms with vehicles and autonomous technology at scale. Leveraging Hertz’s century of expertise in complex fleet operations, Oro is purpose‑built to address that gap by delivering flexible, integrated fleet solutions for both driver‑led and autonomous models, opening a new chapter for Hertz.”

ESTERO, Fla, May 7, 2026 – Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) (“Hertz,” “Hertz Global,” or the “Company”) today reported results for its first quarter 2026.

• GAAP net loss for the quarter totaled $333 million and Diluted GAAP EPS was $(1.06). Adjusted net loss was $224 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $(0.72), resulting in a year-over-year improvement of $105 million and an Adjusted EPS improvement of $0.35.

• Net Depreciation per Unit per Month (Net DPU) was $312 in in the first quarter, approaching the Company’s North Star target and representing a year-over-year improvement of 13%, supported by disciplined fleet rotation. The used car market was in the seasonal trough through February, but has since improved considerably.

Q1 Summary
Hertz’s first quarter performance underscores that its transformation is driving tangible results. Through its “Back-to-Basics” strategy, the Company is delivering measurable progress in its core rental operations with a focus on disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization, and rigorous cost control, all guided by its North Star metrics of DPU sub $300, RPU over $1,500, and DOE per Transaction Day in the low $30s.

In the first quarter, the Company delivered sequential improvements through its “Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right” strategy with its youngest fleet in nearly a decade. Hertz achieved revenue of $2.0 billion in the first quarter, up 11% year over year and marking its strongest revenue growth in three years through continued, structural improvements to its commercial strategies. The Company drove sequential, year-over-year improvement in RPU and RPD, with RPD delivering a 5.5% increase, which was its most significant year-over-year improvement since the the travel recovery and microchip-driven spike in 2022. These results, along with the progress towards the Company’s North Star DPU target and continued implementation of cost management initiatives, resulted in an Adjusted Corporate EBITDA improvement of nearly 50% year over year. Although Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Transaction Day increased 3%, Adjusted DOE improved approximately 2% year over year when normalizing for higher RPD-related variable costs that are EBITDA accretive, higher damages costs that are recovered through revenue and are EBITDA neutral, and higher real estate costs following sale leaseback transactions executed last year. The Company also continues to make systemic improvements across every customer touchpoint to enhance its rental experience.

Recall activity was approximately 300% higher year over year and reduced Utilization by roughly 200 basis points, impacted Transaction Days by approximately 930,000, and resulted in a revenue impact of about $50 million. The total impact to Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was more than $25 million. The Company is actively managing through this by redeploying available fleet to higher‑demand markets, working with OEMs and government officials for both tactical and structural improvements, and keeping rentable fleet well utilized relative to demand through disciplined capacity planning. The underlying business performed well in the first quarter, demonstrating that this transitory headwind has not stopped structural progress.

Platform for Growth
Hertz’s strategic transformation has two goals: to improve its core operations, while building a diversified, value-creating platform for growth. This platform spans four strategic areas – Rent-a-Car, Service, Fleet, and Mobility – each with unique potential to scale. The Company remains focused on developing capabilities across its platform to create new value beyond its rental car business.

In the first quarter, Hertz made critical advancements in the highest priority areas of its platform. In Rent-a-Car, Hertz launched an advanced fleet planning engine enabling greater precision and efficiency, which the Company expects will deliver positive impacts across the business. In Fleet, the evolution of Hertz Car Sales into an omnichannel retail business was bolstered by the announcement of a new partnership with eBay, putting the Company’s near-new, certified inventory in front of more customers than ever before.

Oro Mobility
In Mobility, Hertz recently launched its affiliated operating company, Oro, to provide flexible, integrated fleet management solutions across a range of mobility segments. As the industry transitions from personally owned vehicles to commercially operated fleets, Oro aims to fill a critical ownership, orchestration, and operations gap. Backed by Hertz’s core strengths in fleet and facility management, large-scale logistics, vehicle maintenance, and a management team with direct AV operational experience, Oro is designed to manage and serve fleets reliably, efficiently, safely, and at scale.

With the scale of a global operator and the focus of an independent entity, Oro delivers solutions for all fleets. Oro has announced Uber as a major partner across both autonomous and driver‑led operations, extending the companies’ long‑standing rideshare rental partnership.
