    Hertz Global Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

    ESTERO, Fla., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (OTCPK: HTZGQ) ("Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its third quarter 2020 with revenue of $1.3 billion, a net loss attributable to the Company of $222 million and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA loss of $26 million. Liquidity at the end of the third quarter was $1.1 billion.

    "Our U.S. Chapter 11 process is progressing well. Recent, new funding and commitments of more than $6.0 billion allow us to continue taking steps to best position our business as a rental-car and fleet-leasing leader through the pandemic and for the future," said Paul Stone, Hertz Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

    In the third quarter, the Company made sequential progress as month-to-month revenue improvement, disciplined cost controls and prudent working capital management enabled it to maintain its liquidity position, despite the pandemic challenges impacting the travel sector. "Since Labor Day, U.S. rental volume has trended better, reflecting pent-up leisure demand and market-specific rate adjustments. As a result, our domestic revenue improved 14 points sequentially from July to September. And, October revenue has held steady at September’s level," Stone said.

    Throughout the third quarter, Hertz Global aggressively sold fleet into a record-high U.S. residual market, taking average operating fleet down 34% through its retail, wholesale and dealer-direct channels. As of the end of October, the Company’s U.S. fleet level is well positioned to match current demand. Hertz Global’s average international fleet, down 51% in the third quarter year over year, also is now sized appropriately for the current rental environment.

    Based on the significant reduction in direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses to date, the Company is increasing its annualized global cost savings target to $3.0 billion, up from $2.5 billion.

    In addition to the $1.1 billion in liquidity at September 30, 2020, the Company recently closed on $1.65 billion of debtor-in-possession financing which provides support for ongoing operations, vehicle procurement and key investments in the business. The Company has also secured commitments for $4.0 billion of fleet financing which, if approved by the court, will enable the Company to meet its forecasted U.S. fleet needs through 2021. In October, the Company closed on a fleet financing facility of up to $400 million for its Donlen leasing and fleet management operations.

    "The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been tough on everyone. But our employees have met the challenges head on, adapted processes and continued to put our customers’ safety and satisfaction first," said Stone. "Last month, we couldn’t have been prouder to have Hertz awarded No. 1 in Customer Satisfaction for Rental Cars by J.D. Power for a second consecutive year. It’s a true testament to our preferred position among rental car customers and our team’s commitment and dedication to our Company."

    Total U.S. RAC revenues were down 56%. Intra-quarter, the Company saw steady year-over-year improving trends with July revenue down 61%, August down 58% and September down 47%.

    Off-airport revenues comprised 48% of total revenue for the third quarter 2020 versus 32% in the prior year. Overall volume in the third quarter declined year over year due to the pandemic-related impact on travel, especially to corporate customers. However, on a sequential quarterly basis, off-airport volume improved 12 points compared with the 2020 second quarter as leisure travel picked up and delivery services rentals continued to grow. Sequential quarterly year-over-year airport revenue improved 16 points, reflecting some recovery in airline travel from the second-quarter 2020 trough and a higher mix of local rentals at the airport.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month benefited from sales of used vehicles into a record-high residual market during the quarter. The Company disposed of 133,000 vehicles, 72% more than the third quarter 2019.

    Direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses declined 43% year over year as the Company aggressively adjusted costs in response to pandemic-level demand.

    On a sequential quarterly basis, the Company nearly recouped its second quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA loss in the third quarter through improved rental demand, lower vehicle depreciation and incremental cost savings.

    Total International RAC revenues were down 64% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Off airport revenues comprised 61% of total revenues for the segment versus 36% for the third quarter 2019. The mix shift in volume from airport rentals to longer-length, lower-priced off-airport rentals contributed to a 13% decrease in Total RPD versus third quarter 2019. While down, both airport and off airport volumes reflected sequential improvement compared to the year-over-year results reported for the second quarter 2020.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month benefited from strong residual values across all key markets.

    Direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses declined 47% year over year as the Company proactively reduced costs in response to pandemic-level demand.

    Actions taken in the third quarter to reduce vehicle inventories and operating expenses helped to narrow the Adjusted EBITDA loss from the second quarter 2020.

    RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION
    ________________________________________________________________

    The GAAP and non-GAAP profitability metrics for Hertz Global’s operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), are materially the same as those for Hertz Global for the third quarter 2020 and 2019, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 Hertz, posted the same revenues as the Company, however its pre-tax loss was $1.8 billion versus the Company’s pre-tax loss of $1.7 billion. The difference between Hertz’s and the Company’s GAAP results is primarily due to Hertz’s write off in the second quarter of 2020 of $133 million due from the Company. The non-GAAP profitability metrics for Hertz are materially the same as those for Hertz Global.

    FINANCIAL REORGANIZATION

    The Reorganization provides the time to put in place a new, stronger financial foundation to move successfully through the COVID-19 pandemic and to better position the Companies for the future.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Hertz Global is the top-level holding company that indirectly wholly owns The Hertz Corporation (together, the "Company"). The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s segment measure of profitability and complies with GAAP when used in that context.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation of, superior to, or as a substitute for measures of the Company’s financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS")

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax, debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, non-cash acquisition accounting charges, reorganization items, pre-reorganization and non-debtor financing charges and certain other miscellaneous items on a pre-tax basis. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes a provision (benefit) for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate. The combined statutory rate is management’s estimate of the Company’s long-term tax rate. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

    Adjusted Diluted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Its most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are important to management because they allow management to assess operational performance of the Company’s business, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, net non-vehicle debt interest, vehicle debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, reorganization items, pre-reorganization and non-debtor financing charges and certain other miscellaneous items. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues.

    Management uses these measures as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, and to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. These measures enable management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics most meaningful to the business of renting and leasing vehicles. They also allow management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as its reportable segments. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

    KEY METRICS

    Available Car Days

    Available Car Days represents Average Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a period.

    Average Vehicles ("Fleet Capacity" or "Capacity")

    Average Vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company at the beginning and end of a given period.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it is reflective of how the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates in comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

    Total Rental Revenues

    Total Rental Revenues represents total revenues less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measurement that excludes the impact of ancillary revenues resulting from vehicle sales and facilitates in comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

    Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD"or "RPD"; also referred to as "pricing")

    Total RPD represents the ratio of Total Rental Revenues to Transaction Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

    Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")

    Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of average Total Rental Revenues per vehicle per month. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity, or asset efficiency.

    Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")

    Transaction Days, also known as volume, represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days.

    Vehicle Utilization ("Utilization")

    Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity.

(NYSE: HTZ) ("Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its second quarter 2020 with revenue of $832 million, a net loss attributable to the Company of $847 million and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA of negative $587 million. Liquidity at the end of the second quarter was $1.4 billion.

    "In the second quarter, like so many companies whose revenues have sharply declined due to the pandemic’s significant impact on global travel, we had to make difficult but necessary decisions to strengthen and position the company for growth for many years to come," said Paul Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hertz Global. "The toughest decisions have been those that impact the livelihood of our dedicated workforce and our voluntarily reorganizing under Chapter 11 in North America. We are moving through our reorganization process and remain focused on emerging an even stronger global rental car leader better positioned to serve our customers around the world."

    In the second quarter, global revenue declined 67%. While air travel around the world experienced a significant slowdown, and the U.S. car sales market was extremely limited until May, the Company worked to align labor with rental demand, cancel new-fleet orders, return program vehicles, cut all non-essential spending and capital expenses, and consolidate off-airport rental locations for efficiency. As a result, the Company reduced global direct operating and SG&A expenses by 47% year-over-year in the second quarter.

    Global revenue in April, May and June, while down versus prior year, showed sequential monthly improvement as states and countries began to re-open. During the quarter, Hertz Global capitalized on positive trends in its new driver and delivery service offering and saw an increase in cargo trucks and van rentals off airport. Insurance replacement rentals also experienced a restart as more cars returned to the highways. Leisure air travel began to pick up heading into the domestic July 4th holiday in the U.S. However, a rise in COVID-19 infections in the south and west since then caused the positive leisure trend to slow again.

    The U.S. used-car market experienced a strong rebound in May and June. At the end of the second quarter, the number of vehicles in the global fleet was 29% lower year over year. The Company is capitalizing on the robust demand and record-high resale pricing by significantly ramping up its used-car sales efforts in North America.

    "We continue to make disciplined adjustments to our cost structure based on revenue fluctuations and expect to generate about $2.5 billion in annualized savings," said Stone. "Our priority is fleet management. The continued strong used-car market allows us to continue to sell cars aggressively as we right-size the fleet to align with market realities. Across the business, our team is laser-focused on capturing revenue, driving efficiency and advancing critical technology. In the U.S., we continue to capitalize on rental opportunities off airport, while ensuring customer service levels remain best-in-class. Internationally, our fleet is trending toward demand levels. And our Donlen leasing business remains stable. Finally, continuing to keep our teams and our customers safe in this unpredictable environment is of utmost importance to everyone at Hertz."

    In addition to following social distancing best practices and daily employee health assessments at Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty locations, the Company raised the bar on its high standards for safety and cleanliness. Every vehicle is being sealed and certified ‘Hertz Gold Standard Clean’ after undergoing a 15-point cleaning and sanitization process that follows global health agency guidelines and uses EPA-approved products. The Company also has directed that masks be worn by all employees in its field and corporate locations across the U.S. Similarly, masks are now required for U.S. customers to help protect not only the renters, but also the tens of thousands of Hertz employees working to serve our customers every day. The Company’s Ultimate Choice vehicle pick-up option and digital app for adding ancillary products and services allows renters to bypass the counter for a contactless experience.

    Total U.S. RAC revenues were down 70% year-over-year. Airport rental car volume declined 82%, roughly in line with airline travel weakness resulting from COVID-19 restrictions. Off airport volume declined 47% as the impact on demand for insurance replacement rentals was less severe than travel-related rentals and demand for delivery vans increased. The mix shift in volume from airport rentals to lower-priced, longer-length off-airport rentals contributed to a 10% decrease in Total RPD. Off airport revenues comprised 60% of total revenues for the segment versus 32% for the second quarter 2019.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month was impacted by residual values on certain vehicle models.

    During the quarter, the Company reduced the size of the U.S. operating fleet and took measures to align staffing levels and operating costs with the decline in demand. The aggressive cost reduction actions and lower volume drove a $547 million decrease in direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses.

    The Company remains focused on sustainable cost-savings and right-sizing its U.S. RAC fleet.

    Total International RAC revenues were down 76% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Airport rental car volume declined 84%, roughly in line with airline travel weakness resulting from COVID-19 restrictions. Off airport volume declined 47% as the impact of the pandemic was less substantial for local rentals. The mix shift in volume from airport rentals to lower-priced, longer-length off-airport rentals contributed to a 24% decrease in Total RPD. Off airport revenues comprised 71% of total revenues for the segment versus 40% for the second quarter 2019.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month increased primarily due to the impact of lower residual values on risk vehicles and shortened hold periods on certain program vehicles.

    During the quarter, the Company significantly reduced the size of the International operating fleet and eliminated non-essential spend. International RAC direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses were down $210 million year-over-year in the quarter.

    The Company remains focused on sustainable cost-savings and right-sizing its International fleet.

    FINANCIAL REORGANIZATION
    _______________________________________________________

    As previously announced, on May 22, 2020, Hertz Global and its operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz") (and together with Hertz Global, the "Companies") and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Reorganization").

    The Reorganization provides the time to put in place a new, stronger financial foundation to move successfully through the COVID-19 pandemic and to better position the Companies for the future. Throughout the Reorganization process, all of Hertz’s businesses globally, including its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, Firefly, Hertz Car Sales, and Donlen subsidiaries, are open and serving customers. All reservations, promotional offers, vouchers, and customer and loyalty programs, including rewards points, are expected to continue as usual.

    Information related to the Reorganization is included in the Hertz Global and Hertz Form 10-Qs for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and on the Hertz website, IR.Hertz.com. Additional information, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is also available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk, LLC, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent.

    RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION
    ________________________________________________________________

    The Company’s operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), posted the same revenues as the Company for the second quarter of 2020. Hertz’s second quarter 2020 pre-tax loss was $1.2 billion versus the Company’s pre-tax loss of $1.0 billion. The difference between Hertz’s and the Company’s GAAP results is primarily due to Hertz’s write off in the second quarter of 2020 of $133 million due from the Company. The non-GAAP profitability metrics for Hertz are materially the same as those for Hertz Global.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Hertz Global is the top-level holding company that indirectly wholly owns The Hertz Corporation (together, the "Company"). The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s segment measure of profitability and complies with GAAP when used in that context.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation of, superior to, or as a substitute for measures of the Company’s financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS")

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax, debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, non-cash acquisition accounting charges, reorganization items, pre-reorganization and non-debtor financing charges and certain other miscellaneous items on a pre-tax basis. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes a provision (benefit) for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate. The combined statutory rate is management’s estimate of the Company’s long-term tax rate. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

    Adjusted Diluted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Its most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are important to management because they allow management to assess operational performance of the Company’s business, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, net non-vehicle debt interest, vehicle debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, reorganization items, pre-reorganization and non-debtor financing charges and certain other miscellaneous items. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues.

    Management uses these measures as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, and to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. These measures enable management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics most meaningful to the business of renting and leasing vehicles. They also allow management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as its reportable segments. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

    KEY METRICS

    Available Car Days

    Available Car Days represents Average Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a period.

    Average Vehicles ("Fleet Capacity" or "Capacity")

    Average Vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company at the beginning and end of a given period.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it is reflective of how the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates in comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

    Total Rental Revenues

    Total Rental Revenues represents total revenues less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measurement that excludes the impact of revenues generated from non-vehicle rental activity, such as ancillary revenues resulting from vehicle sales and facilitates in comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

    Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD"or "RPD"; also referred to as "pricing")

    Total RPD represents the ratio of Total Rental Revenues to Transaction Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

    Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")

    Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of average Total Rental Revenues per vehicle per month. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity, or asset efficiency.

    Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")

    Transaction Days, also known as volume, represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days.

    Vehicle Utilization ("Utilization")

    Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity.

    Hertz Global Holdings Takes Action To Strengthen Capital Structure Following Impact Of Global Coronavirus Crisis

    Voluntarily Files for Chapter 11 Reorganization

    As an Essential Business, Hertz and Subsidiaries Around the World Remain Open with Same Award-Winning Service for Customers

    All Customer and Loyalty Programs Expected to Continue as Usual

    $1 Billion in Cash on Hand to Support Continuing Operations

    ESTERO, Fla., May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) ("Hertz" or the "Company") today announced it and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

    The impact of COVID-19 on travel demand was sudden and dramatic, causing an abrupt decline in the Company’s revenue and future bookings. Hertz took immediate actions to prioritize the health and safety of employees and customers, eliminate all non-essential spending and preserve liquidity. However, uncertainty remains as to when revenue will return and when the used-car market will fully re-open for sales, which necessitated today’s action. The financial reorganization will provide Hertz a path toward a more robust financial structure that best positions the Company for the future as it navigates what could be a prolonged travel and overall global economic recovery.

    Hertz’s principal international operating regions including Europe, Australia and New Zealand are not included in today’s U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings. In addition, Hertz’s franchised locations, which are not owned by the Company, also are not included in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

    All Hertz Businesses Remain Open and Serving Customers

    All of Hertz’s businesses globally, including its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, Firefly, Hertz Car Sales, and Donlen subsidiaries, are open and serving customers. All reservations, promotional offers, vouchers, and customer and loyalty programs, including rewards points, are expected to continue as usual. Customers can count on the same high level of service and reliability, including new initiatives such as "Hertz Gold Standard Clean" sanitization protocols to provide additional safety in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    "Hertz has over a century of industry leadership and we entered 2020 with strong revenue and earnings momentum," said Hertz President and CEO Paul Stone. "With the severity of the COVID-19 impact on our business, and the uncertainty of when travel and the economy will rebound, we need to take further steps to weather a potentially prolonged recovery. Today’s action will protect the value of our business, allow us to continue our operations and serve our customers, and provide the time to put in place a new, stronger financial foundation to move successfully through this pandemic and to better position us for the future. Our loyal customers have made us one of the world’s most iconic brands, and we look forward to serving them now and on their future journeys."

    First Day Motions

    As part of the reorganization process, the Company will file customary "First Day" motions, which should allow it to maintain operations in the ordinary course. Hertz intends to continue to provide the same vehicle quality and selection; to pay vendors and suppliers under customary terms for goods and services received on or after the filing date; to pay its employees in the usual manner and to continue without disruption their primary benefits; and to continue the Company’s customer loyalty programs.

    Sufficient Cash to Support Operations

    As of the filing date, the Company had more than $1 billion in cash on hand to support its ongoing operations. Depending upon the length of the COVID-19 induced crisis and its impact on revenue, the Company may seek access to additional cash, including through new borrowings, as the reorganization progresses.

    Strong Upward Trajectory

    Hertz was on a strong upward financial trajectory prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including ten consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth and nine quarters of year-over-year adjusted corporate EBITDA improvement. In January and February 2020, the Company increased global revenue 6% and 8% year over year, respectively, driven by higher U.S. car rental revenue. In addition, the Company was recognized as No. #1 in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere.

    Taking Actions in Response to COVID-19

    When the effects of the crisis began to manifest in March, causing an increase in car rental cancellations and a decline in forward bookings, the Company moved quickly to adjust. Hertz took action to align expenses with significantly lower demand levels by closely managing overhead and operating costs, including:

    • reducing planned fleet levels through vehicle sales and by canceling fleet orders,
    • consolidating off-airport rental locations,
    • deferring capital expenditures and cutting marketing spend, and
    • implementing furloughs and layoffs of 20,000 employees, or approximately 50% of its global workforce.

    The Company actively engaged with many of its largest creditors to temporarily reduce the required payments under the Company’s vehicle operating lease. Although Hertz negotiated short-term relief with such creditors, it was unable to secure longer-term agreements. Additionally, the Company sought assistance from the U.S. government, but access to funding for the rental car industry did not become available.

    Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Announces Leadership Transition Paul Stone Named President and CEO and a Member of the Board Kathryn V. Marinello Resigns as President and CEO and as a Member of the Board

    ESTERO, Fla., May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., (NYSE: HTZ) today announced that its Board of Directors has named Paul Stone President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Marinello, who plans to continue with the Company in a consulting position for up to one year to support a smooth transition.

    "After an ongoing succession planning process, the Board elected Paul to lead Hertz’s next chapter," said Henry R. Keizer, Hertz’s Chairman. "Paul brings a customer-centered approach to growing the business that is driven by process excellence and employee engagement. Having successfully run our largest business segment for the last two years, Paul helped strengthen our brands by elevating service standards across the North American car rental operations." Keizer continued, "We also want to thank Kathy for her contributions as an exceptional business leader. Since joining the company in January 2017, she oversaw a successful operational turnaround, transformed Hertz’s culture, and built a best-in-class leadership team. The Board wishes her all the best."

    "The hardest part about stepping down is leaving the amazing employees that have earned my respect over the last three-and-a-half years. It was an honor to serve them," said Marinello. "I am confident that under Paul’s leadership, Hertz will prosper long into the future."

    "It is a tremendous honor to have the opportunity to lead Hertz," Stone said. "I thank Kathy and look forward to working with my colleagues to do what Hertz people do best – anticipate where transportation, mobility and technology are going and innovate to best serve our customers, stakeholders and communities."

He led operations for upwards of 200 locations with more than 30,000 employees. Prior to Hertz, he served as senior vice president and chief retail officer at Cabela’s, one of the leading outdoor outfitter retail companies. Over the course of his career, he has delivered strategy, service, people development and full-scale retail operations leadership. Stone joined Hertz in March 2018 to lead the Company’s North American car rental operations, which encompassed approximately 4,500 locations and 27,000 employees.
