    Total U.S. RAC revenues of $1.7 billion were a fourth quarter record for the Company and up 6% on higher volume and pricing. Revenue per day was up 4% as pricing improved across all brands, in both business and leisure categories, and in on- and off-airport rentals. Transaction days grew 2% driven by solid demand from the Company’s growth initiatives in TNC and delivery rentals. Vehicle utilization was negatively impacted by a significant number of units on safety recall compared to a year ago and the continued ramp up of trucks and vans to meet future demand for delivery rentals.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month increased 11%, reflecting lower residual values on certain vehicles sold by the Company during the quarter. The Company continues to benefit from dispositions through its higher returning retail car-sales channel.

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA of $48 million was flat versus the fourth quarter of 2018. These results were driven by strong revenue growth and a 270-basis point improvement in operating expenses and SG&A as a percentage of revenue were offset by higher per-unit depreciation in the quarter.

    Total International RAC revenues decreased 3% year-over-year and were flat on a constant currency basis. Total RPD was up 1% driven by improved pricing in Asia Pacific and Europe, offset by a volume decline of 1% due to continued softness in Europe.

    Depreciation Per Unit Per Month increased 8% driven by residual value declines on certain vehicles that were disposed of during the quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA loss of $10 million reflected lower revenue and higher per-unit depreciation versus the fourth quarter of 2018.

    All Other Operations primarily is comprised of the Company’s Donlen leasing operations. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by a change in presentation for certain leased vehicles in 2019, which lowered revenue by $18 million during the quarter. In addition, in the prior year quarter, Donlen experienced higher than normal capital lease volume, resulting in a $53 million increase in revenue and depreciation. Excluding these items, Donlen revenues grew 10% in the quarter which drove a 36% increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the segment behind strong growth in leasing and fleet management.

    RIGHTS OFFERING
    _________________________________

    In June 2019, the Company distributed transferable subscription rights to its shareholders to purchase up to an aggregate of 57,915,055 new shares (the "Rights Offering"). The Rights Offering, which was fully subscribed, was consummated in July 2019. As a result of the timing of the subscription period, the rights generated a dilutive impact to the Company’s 2019 basic and diluted earnings per share. The three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the Rights Offering, and the Company will continue to adjust prior periods for the impact, where necessary.

    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 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 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. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is also utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, including the change in restricted cash and cash equivalents related to vehicles, net revenue earning vehicle and capital asset expenditures and the net impact of vehicle financing activities. During the third quarter 2019, the Company changed its definition of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to exclude the impact of noncontrolling interests which primarily eliminates proceeds from vehicle sales upon consolidation of the Company, but not the associated repayment of vehicle debt. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for acquisitions and the reduction of non-vehicle debt.

    Fleet Growth

    Fleet Growth represents revenue earning vehicles expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus vehicle depreciation and net vehicle financing which includes borrowings, repayments and the change in restricted cash associated with vehicles. Fleet Growth is important to management as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.

    Net Non-vehicle Debt, Net Vehicle Debt and Total Net Debt

    Net Non-vehicle Debt represents non-vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs, discounts and premiums associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. This measure is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company’s net corporate leverage. It also assists in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to service its non-vehicle debt without reference to the expense associated with the vehicle debt, which is collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-vehicle debt facilities.

    Net Vehicle Debt represents vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs, discounts and premiums associated with vehicle debt, less restricted cash associated with vehicles. Restricted cash associated with vehicle debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Company’s vehicle debt facilities and its vehicle rental like-kind exchange program. Net Vehicle Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company’s leverage with respect to its vehicle assets.

    Total Net Debt is the sum of Net Non-vehicle Debt and Net Vehicle debt and is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company’s gross leverage.

    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.

    Time and Mileage Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Time and Mileage pricing" or "T&M Rate")

    Time and Mileage ("T&M") pricing represents the ratio of Total Rental Revenues, less ancillary revenue from value-added services, such as charges to the customer for the fueling of vehicles, loss damage waivers, insurance products, supplemental equipment and other consumables, to Transaction Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in base rental fees, which comprise the majority of the Company’s Total RPD.

    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.

    "Our customers inspire us every day and we love the opportunity to go the extra mile for them," said Jayesh Patel, Senior Vice President of Hertz Brand. "We’re excited to work with first-class football great Jerome "The Bus" Bettis to offer a unique and special experience in Miami for the Big Game. We know that the journey to get there is as important as the destination itself. This is just the beginning of celebrating with our customers as a thank you for all they do to inspire us."

    The Hertz "Extra Mile" campaign first starts with the Big Game experience, followed by TV, digital and social advertising beginning in February. The advertising will celebrate the inspirational people who go the extra mile for their families, friends and communities like the dedicated soccer moms and dads who shuttle teams to the game, to those who give their time to help friends move. The campaign aims to spotlight the selfless acts that in turn inspire the Hertz team to go the extra mile to make their customers’ journeys special.

    "I worked hard to be at the top of my game, and I want to work with others who are #1 like Hertz," said Jerome Bettis, Senior. "My family and I have been loyal Hertz customers for years because of the great service we always receive from the Hertz team.

    ESTERO, Fla., Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz (NYSE: HTZ), one of the most iconic car rental brands, has earned several accolades from top influencers in the travel industry throughout 2019.

    "We’re thrilled that the biggest names in the travel industry are continuing to recognize Hertz year after year," said Hertz President and CEO Kathryn Marinello. "Our goal is to provide our customers with the best possible experience, and these awards are a reflection of the hard work our employees put into making that happen every day."

    Exceptional Service
    Hertz remains relentlessly focused on what matters most to its customers, listening to their feedback and acting on it to improve their experience. Earlier this year Hertz earned the No. 1 overall ranking in the J.D. Power 2019 North America Rental Car Satisfaction Study – a direct result of the company’s commitment to providing caring, personalized service, offering top-rated vehicles and investing in customer-centric technologies that enhance the travel experience. In addition to earning the highest score in overall Customer Satisfaction, the company took the top spot in multiple categories for its fast and easy-to-use service including the reservation process, pick-up process, return process and cost and fees.

    This year thousands of Global Traveler magazine readers voted in the GT Tested Reader Survey Awards to honor Hertz with the title of Best Car Rental Company for the sixth consecutive year, and Millennial readers of Global Traveler‘s sister web publication, trazeetravel.com, voted in the 2019 Trazees Awards to name Hertz as their Favorite Car Rental Company.

    For the seventh consecutive year, Hertz received the Women’s Choice Award® for America’s Most Recommended™ Car Rental Brand. The Women’s Choice Awards are based on a national survey distributed to tens of thousands of women across the country who were asked to select brands they would highly recommend to family and friends, and Hertz won in multiple categories, including Business Travel, Loyalty Programs, Overall Customer Service and Best Value.

    Additionally, more than 100,000 readers of the online publication The Points Guy (TPG) voted Hertz as the Best Car Rental Company in the 2019 TPG Awards, and Hertz earned the title of Leading Car Rental Company in more than 40 regions and countries from the World Travel Awards.

    Hertz was also named Best in Car Rentals for the Domestic and International categories in the 17th annual Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards, an honor that Hertz has received several years in a row.

    Leaders in the Industry
    Hertz leaders were recognized in 2019 for the innovation and outstanding leadership they have contributed to the travel industry. Hertz President and CEO Kathryn Marinello was recently named to Business Travel News’ 2019 list of the Most Influential People in Business Travel, and two other Hertz executives – Susan Jacobs, senior vice president, global Dollar and Thrifty brands, and Laura Smith, senior vice president, global Customer Experience – received accolades from WINit by GBTA, a network for driving positive change for the career mobility of women in travel-related industries. Jacobs received the Most Innovative Trailblazer Award, which celebrates the business success and creativity of a woman who advances innovation by developing and creating new ideas, while Smith was honored with the Rising Female Leader Award for her impressive career path at Hertz, which began 17 years ago managing a small team in Dublin, Ireland.

    The Hertz marketing team was honored as well with Gold Magellan Awards from Travel Weekly magazine for the Hertz Corvette Sweepstakes and Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR advertising campaigns.

    Best in Customer Loyalty
    Hertz’s best-in-class loyalty program was awarded when FlyerTalk, the popular online community of frequent travelers, voted the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® program the Best Rewards Program in the Drive category across every geographic region in the world – the Americas, Europe/Africa and Middle East/Asia/Oceana – for the eighth consecutive year. The program earned FlyerTalk Awards for Outstanding Benefit globally as well for the following member benefits: Hertz Ultimate Choice (Americas), Five Star and President’s Circle (Europe/Africa) and Platinum Elite service (Middle East/Asia/Oceana).

    The Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program was further honored with several Frequent Traveler (FT) Awards. The program won in nearly every category for the Americas –– Best Overall Promotion, Best Elite Program, Best Loyalty Customer Service and Program of the Year. In recognition of Hertz’s innovation in the loyalty industry, the Loyalty Titan Panel of the FT Awards –– comprised of notable leaders in the loyalty industry –– honored the program with the coveted Titan Award, which is awarded to one hotel, airline and car rental company each year.

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes offered was increased from $750 million. The Offering is expected to close on or about November 25, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

    The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears. The Notes are expected to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the domestic subsidiaries of Hertz that guarantee its senior credit facilities from time to time.

    Hertz intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, together with available cash, to consummate the redemption of $900 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 7.625% Senior Secured Second Priority Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Secured Second Priority Notes"), pay premiums and accrued and unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of the Senior Secured Second Priority Notes and pay fees and expenses in connection with the Offering and the redemption.

    On November 14, 2019, Hertz issued a conditional notice of redemption to redeem $900 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Secured Second Priority Notes. The redemption of the Senior Secured Second Priority Notes is subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions precedent set forth in the Notice of Conditional Redemption, including the consummation of the Capital Markets Offerings (as defined in the Notice of Conditional Redemption) on terms and conditions satisfactory in all respects to Hertz in its sole and absolute discretion.

    The anticipated redemption date is November 25, 2019 or, if the conditions precedent are not satisfied on or prior to November 25, 2019, such later date (but not later than January 13, 2020) as such conditions precedent are so satisfied.

    This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes (and the guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of the Notes (or any guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. The Notes (and the guarantees of the Notes) will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside of the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the Notes (or the guarantees of the Notes) have been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state and other jurisdiction’s securities laws.

    This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Second Priority Notes, nor an offer to tender for, or purchase, any Senior Secured Second Priority Notes or any other security.

Hertz Europe launches “My Hertz Weekend” monthly car subscription service in Germany, France, Spain and UK following success in Italy

    Hertz helps people have better and longer weekends with My Hertz Weekend subscription Hertz Europe launches “My Hertz Weekend” monthly car subscription service in Germany, France, Spain and UK following success in Italy

    LONDON, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Europe Ltd, part of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ), has expanded its monthly car subscription service My Hertz Weekend, which is now available in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom, becoming the car rental leader in this space. This flexible, cost effective alternative to vehicle ownership provides customers with access to a car from Thursday to Monday, helping to make their weekends better and longer.

    Vincent Gillet, Vice President Marketing, International, said: "Following the launch of My Hertz Weekend in Italy in May, we’ve had very positive feedback, which encouraged us to expand the service to more locations across Europe.

    "A convenient alternative to car sharing and leasing, My Hertz Weekend responds to the current shift in attitude regarding car ownership as well as to the growth in the renting and subscription economy. We are confident that it will tackle the needs of customers who, for instance, live in a city and don’t need a vehicle during the week, or families that own a car but need a second car during the weekend."

    How My Hertz Weekend Works

    After signing up for free, My Hertz Weekend subscribers benefit from the use of a small, medium, large or premium Hertz vehicle every weekend for a month or longer – with no long-term commitment required. Customers do not need to book their pick up each time; their car will be ready for collection every weekend of the month/s subscribed.

    Subscribers pick-up and drop-off their cars at a "base" of their choice from a list of 50 participating locations in Barcelona, Bologna, London (St Pancras International), Madrid, Milan, Oxford, Rome, Turin, Cologne, Lyon, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, at flexible times. My Hertz Weekend vehicles can be collected as early as 2:00 pm on Thursday and be returned to the same location any time before 12 noon on Monday.

    The service includes unlimited mileage and a free additional driver, with fixed rates starting from €195 per month in Italy and Germany, making My Hertz Weekend more cost effective than other forms of vehicle subscription, such as car sharing or leasing.

    In order to subscribe to My Hertz Weekend, renters must be members of Hertz’s complementary loyalty program, Gold Plus Rewards. The program allows members to earn rewards, enjoy special discounts, and bypass counters at more than 50 of the world’s busiest airports.

    Further information about the My Hertz Weekend monthly car subscription service and terms and conditions can be obtained at https://www.hertz.co.uk/p/myhertzweekend

    Notes to editors

    The basic rate for the Hertz My Weekend car subscription service includes: unlimited mileage, Theft Protection and Collision Damage Waiver (excess applies), taxes, and additional driver allowance at no extra cost. The "Basic Rate plus SuperCover" option includes all of the features in the basic rate, but with zero excess applied to the Theft Protection and Collision Damage Waiver products. The minimum contract period is one month.

    The price of fuel is not included in the monthly rate so customers are requested to return the car with a full tank each time to avoid extra charges for the missing fuel and the payment of an administration fee. The service station used to refuel the car should be as close to the Hertz drop off location as possible (within 15km).
