    Hertz Global Holdings Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

    ESTERO, Fla., May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) ("Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its first quarter 2018.

    First Quarter 2018 Compared to First Quarter 2017:

    • Consistent with the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s U.S. operational improvement initiatives showed progress in nearly all key performance metrics including absolute and unit revenues, unit vehicle depreciation costs, vehicle utilization and time and mileage pricing
    • Total revenue increased 8%
    • Net loss decreased 9%
    • Adjusted Corporate EBITDA improved by $51 million

    "We entered 2018 a stronger company than one-year ago with positive underlying revenue momentum as our strategies to enhance fleet, customer service and brand value are gaining traction," said Kathryn V. Marinello, president and chief executive officer of Hertz. "At the same time, we have fortified our leadership team and are managing our assets more effectively. The early progress is motivating for our employees and being recognized by our customers. But we still have work to do, reflecting the significant opportunities in front of us, as we position our business for sustainable, long-term growth."

    For the first quarter 2018, total revenues were $2.1 billion, an 8% increase versus the first quarter 2017. Loss before income taxes for the first quarter 2018 was $231 million versus a loss of $294 million in the same period last year. First quarter 2018 net loss was $202 million, or $2.43 loss per diluted share compared with a net loss of $223 million during the first quarter 2017, or $2.69 loss per diluted share. The Company reported adjusted net loss for the first quarter 2018 of $131 million, or $1.58 per adjusted diluted loss per share, compared with adjusted net loss of $134 million, or $1.61 adjusted diluted loss per share, for the same period last year. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the first quarter 2018 was a negative $59 million, compared to a negative $110 million in the same period last year.

    %

    Total U.S. RAC revenues increased 5% versus the prior year quarter as a result of a 6% increase in transaction days and a 1% decline total RPD. Excluding revenue from value-added services and the growth in ride-hailing rentals, time and mileage pricing increased 3%.

    Utilization improved by 430 basis points to 79% on higher transaction day volume and flat vehicle capacity compared with a year ago. Vehicle capacity declined nearly 3%, excluding the growth in fleet specifically dedicated to ride-hailing rentals.

    Monthly net per unit vehicle depreciation expense decreased 13% to $302 as a result of more favorable purchase prices on like-for-like model-year 2018 vehicles, an increased penetration of remarketing vehicles through higher-yielding sales channels, and significantly decreased losses in 2018 versus 2017 that were incurred as part of the prior year quarter’s rebalancing of the fleet mix and level.

    Direct vehicle operating and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues for U.S. RAC was 72% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 71% for the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to incremental investments related to the Company’s transformation initiatives.

    Revenue growth coupled with a decrease in monthly depreciation per unit expenses supported an improvement in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in the first quarter, despite higher expenses associated with the Company’s operating turnaround initiatives, which included $10 million of incremental spending for strategic investments year over year, and increased vehicle interest expense due to rising interest rates.

    The Company’s International RAC segment revenues increased 14%, or 3% excluding a favorable foreign currency impact. Total RPD increased 5%, partially offset by a 2% decrease in transaction days. Excluding the August 2017 sale of the Company’s lower-RPD operations in Brazil, Total RPD and transactions days increased 2% and 4%, respectively, due to strength in higher-yielding commercial and multi-month volume. Revenue per unit increased 4% over the prior year.

    Monthly net per unit vehicle depreciation expense increased 9%, or 5% excluding Brazil, primarily as a result of residual-value declines on diesel vehicles in Europe. Vehicle utilization declined by 70 basis points primarily driven by the Company’s Spain and Asia Pacific operations. The Company focused on driving higher rate in these regions which impacted overall utilization.

    Direct vehicle operating and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues for International RAC was 77% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 78% for the first quarter of 2017.

    Increased fleet and operating costs resulted in a $3 million decrease in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for International RAC compared with a year ago.

    All Other Operations is primarily comprised of the Company’s Donlen leasing operations. A 3% growth in units under lease, as well as a richer mix of vehicles, resulted in increased revenues and depreciation expense. Average vehicles decreased as a result of a reduction in non-lease units in Donlen’s maintenance management programs which drive a lower revenue per unit when compared to lease units under these programs.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS – DEFINITIONS AND USE

    Hertz Global is the top-level holding company and The Hertz Corporation is Hertz Global’s primary operating company (together, the "Company"). The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Definitions of non-GAAP measures and key metrics are set forth below. Also set forth below is a summary of the reasons why management of the Company believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings release provide useful information regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and additional purposes for which management of the Company utilizes the non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) and Adjusted Pre-tax Margin

    Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and premiums, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of the Company’s business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess the operational performance of the Company on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance, such as net income (loss) or income (loss) before income taxes. Adjusted pre-tax margin is adjusted pre-tax income (loss) divided by total revenues.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

    Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as adjusted pre-tax income (loss) less a provision 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. Adjusted net income (loss) is important to management and investors because it represents the Company’s operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting, debt-related charges, and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS")

    Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Adjusted diluted EPS is important to management and investors because it represents a measure of the Company’s operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, debt-related charges, and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as 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. 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. When evaluating the Company’s liquidity, investors should not consider Adjusted free cash flow in isolation of, or as a substitute for, a measure of the Company’s liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities.

    Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Gross EBITDA"), Corporate EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

    Gross EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation (which includes lease charges on revenue earning vehicles) and amortization. Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents Gross EBITDA as adjusted for vehicle debt interest, vehicle depreciation and vehicle debt-related charges. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents Corporate EBITDA as adjusted for certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items, as described in more detail in the accompanying schedules.

    Management uses Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. Further, Gross EBITDA enables management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics such as revenue, direct vehicle and operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which enables management and investors to evaluate the Company’s business segments that are financed differently and have different depreciation characteristics and compare the Company’s performance against companies with different capital structures and depreciation policies. We also present Adjusted Corporate EBITDA as a supplemental measure because such information is utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation.

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues and is used by the Compensation Committee to determine certain executive compensation, primarily in the form of PSUs.

    Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) or income (loss) before income taxes.

    Fleet Growth

    U.S. and International Rental Car segments fleet growth is defined as 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 as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.

    Net Non-Vehicle Debt

    Net non-vehicle debt is calculated as non-vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company’s Senior Term Loan, Senior RCF, Senior Notes, Senior Second Priority Secured Notes, Promissory Notes and certain other non-vehicle indebtedness of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net non-vehicle debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company’s corporate leverage. Net non-vehicle debt 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

    Net vehicle debt is calculated as vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs 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

    Total net debt is calculated as total debt, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issue costs are required to be reported as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt obligation under GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects that these costs have on debt will more accurately reflect the Company’s net debt position. Total net debt 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 is calculated as average vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a period.

    Average Vehicles

    Average Vehicles, also known as "fleet capacity", 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. Among other things, average vehicles is used to calculate Vehicle Utilization which represents the portion of the Company’s vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue.

    Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month

    Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month and is calculated as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, divided by the average vehicles in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported. 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 ("T&M rate" or "T&M pricing")

    Time and mileage pricing is calculated as total rental revenue less 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, divided by the total number of 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 Revenue

    Total rental revenue is calculated as total revenue less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue, 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.

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

    Total RPD is calculated as total rental revenue divided by the total number of 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")

    Total RPU is calculated as total rental revenue divided by the average vehicles in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported. 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 (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

    Vehicle utilization is calculated by dividing total transaction days by 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 Announces Pricing of €500 Million Private Offering of Senior Notes by Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V.

    Hertz Global Holdings Announces Pricing of €500 Million Private Offering of Senior Notes by Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V.

    ESTERO, Fla., March 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) (the "Company") today announced that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the "Issuer"), has entered into an agreement to sell €500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes") in a private offering (the "Offering") exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Offering is expected to close on or about March 23, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

    The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrear. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), the domestic subsidiaries of Hertz that guarantee its senior credit facilities from time to time, and certain foreign subsidiaries of Hertz that guarantee its European revolving credit facility from time to time.

    The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to redeem all of its outstanding 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") and to use any additional proceeds to repay borrowings under its European Revolving Credit Facility.

    On March 5, 2018, the Issuer provided a notice of conditional full redemption of all of its outstanding 2019 Notes, which redemption is subject only to the consummation of the Offering yielding net proceeds that are sufficient to fund all amounts due in respect of the outstanding 2019 Notes.

    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 and such guarantees 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.

    CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

    Certain statements contained in this release, and in related comments by the Company’s management, include "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s liquidity and its possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategies. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project," "potential," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "seek," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," "forecasts" or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that the Company has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in these circumstances. The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Among other items, such factors could include: any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result of the restatement in 2015 of the Company’s previously issued financial results; the Company’s ability to remediate the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; levels of travel demand, particularly with respect to airline passenger traffic in the United States and in global markets; the effect of the Company’s separation of its vehicle and equipment rental businesses, any failure by Herc Holdings Inc. to comply with the agreements entered into in connection with the separation and the Company’s ability to obtain the expected benefits of the separation; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in the Company’s markets on rental volume and pricing, including on the Company’s pricing policies or use of incentives; occurrences that disrupt rental activity during the Company’s peak periods; increased vehicle costs due to declines in the value of the Company’s non-program vehicles; the Company’s ability to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and risks relating to increases in the cost of the vehicles it purchases; the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used in its rental operations accordingly; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and the availability to it of additional or continued sources of financing for its revenue earning vehicles and to refinance its existing indebtedness; the Company’s ability to adequately respond to changes in technology and customer demands; the Company’s access to third-party distribution channels and related prices, commission structures and transaction volumes; an increase in the Company’s vehicle costs or disruption to its rental activity, particularly during its peak periods, due to safety recalls by the manufacturers of its vehicles; a major disruption in the Company’s communication or centralized information networks; financial instability of the manufacturers of the Company’s vehicles; any impact on the Company from the actions of its franchisees, dealers and independent contractors; the Company’s ability to sustain operations during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease); shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete dispositions; the Company’s ability to maintain favorable brand recognition and a coordinated and comprehensive branding and portfolio strategy; costs and risks associated with litigation and investigations; risks related to the Company’s indebtedness, including its substantial amount of debt, its ability to incur substantially more debt, the fact that substantially all of its consolidated assets secure certain of its outstanding indebtedness and increases in interest rates or in its borrowing margins; the Company’s ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in its Senior Facilities and the Letter of Credit Facility, its outstanding unsecured Senior Notes, its outstanding Senior Second Priority Secured Notes and certain asset-backed and asset-based arrangements; changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and the Company’s ability to make accurate estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on operating results; risks associated with operating in many different countries, including the risk of a violation or alleged violation of applicable anticorruption or antibribery laws and the Company’s ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences; the Company’s ability to prevent the misuse or theft of information it possesses, including as a result of cyber security breaches and other security threats; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its information technology and finance transformation programs; changes in the existing, or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, where such actions may affect the Company’s operations, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; changes to the Company’s senior management team and the dependence of its business operations on its senior management team; the effect of tangible and intangible asset impairment charges; the Company’s exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historical levels; fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices; the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in periodic and current reports that the Company files with the SEC.

    Total U.S. RAC revenues increased 1% versus the same period last year. Transaction days increased by 3% year-over-year as a result of increased rentals to commercial customers, including corporate, insurance replacement and ride-hailing drivers. Pricing, as measured by Total Revenue Per Day (Total RPD), decreased 1% in the quarter. Excluding ancillary revenue and the growth in ride-hailing rentals, pricing increased 3% over the 2016 fourth quarter.

    The 3% increase in transaction days combined with 1% reduction in U.S. fleet capacity resulted in a 250-basis point increase in utilization in the quarter. Revenue per unit, an important measure of asset efficiency, increased 2% over the prior year.

    The revenue improvement along with a 6% decrease in monthly depreciation per unit supported a year-over-year increase in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in the fourth quarter, despite higher expenses associated with the Company’s operating turnaround initiatives and increased vehicle interest expense due to rising interest rates.

    The Company’s International RAC segment revenues increased 10% from the fourth quarter 2016, or 4% excluding currency adjustments, driven by a 3% increase in Total RPD and a 1% increase in transaction days. Excluding the sale of the Company’s Brazil rental car and leasing operations to Localiza in August 2017, transaction days increased 6%.

    The 1% increase in transaction days combined with flat fleet capacity resulted in a 40-basis point increase in utilization in the quarter. Revenue per unit, an important measure of asset efficiency, increased 4% over the prior year.

    Fourth quarter 2017 Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for International RAC decreased compared with a year ago in part due to the divestiture of the Brazil fleet, declining residual values on diesel vehicles in Europe and elevated fleet-related expenses.

    Adjusted pre-tax income (loss), adjusted pre-tax margin, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. Average vehicles, transaction days, Total RPD, Total RPU and net depreciation per unit per month are key metrics. See the accompanying Supplemental Schedules and Definitions for the reconciliations and definitions for each of these non-GAAP measures and key metrics and the reason the Company’s management believes that this information is useful to investors.

    STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS – 2018 expenses will continue to be elevated as the Company remains committed to its U.S. operating turnaround initiatives. The elevated expense level will be targeted toward new marketing campaigns, ongoing field process improvements, an upgraded model-year 2018 fleet and the deployment of several redesigned technology platforms. The benefits from its U.S. turnaround program are expected to accelerate in 2019.

    BALANCE SHEET – The Company had more than $1.6 billion of corporate liquidity at December 31, 2017. It has no material corporate debt maturities due until October 2020. In January 2018, it executed a $1 billion five-year term ABS transaction for U.S. rental car with proceeds used to refinance its 2018 vehicle debt maturities.

    TAX REFORM – The enactment of U.S. tax reform resulted in the Company recording an estimated net benefit of $679 million, resulting from the remeasured valuation of its net deferred tax liabilities. It does not anticipate a liability from the one-time charge on accumulated foreign earnings. Due to the lower corporate tax rate in 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate now is estimated to be between 23% and 26% on results in future years.

    RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION

    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    Certain statements contained in this release, and in related comments by the Company’s management, include "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s liquidity and its possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategies. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project," "potential," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "seek," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," "forecasts" or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that the Company has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in these circumstances. The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Among other items, such factors could include: any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result of the restatement in 2015 of the Company’s previously issued financial results; the Company’s ability to remediate the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; levels of travel demand, particularly with respect to airline passenger traffic in the United States and in global markets; the effect of the Company’s separation of its vehicle and equipment rental businesses, any failure by Herc Holdings Inc. to comply with the agreements entered into in connection with the separation and the Company’s ability to obtain the expected benefits of the separation; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in the Company’s markets on rental volume and pricing, including on the Company’s pricing policies or use of incentives; occurrences that disrupt rental activity during our peak periods; increased vehicle costs due to declines in the value of the Company’s non-program vehicles; the Company’s ability to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and risks relating to increases in the cost of the vehicles it purchases; the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used in its rental operations accordingly; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and the availability to it of additional or continued sources of financing for its revenue earning vehicles and to refinance its existing indebtedness; the Company’s ability to adequately respond to changes in technology and customer demands; the Company’s access to third-party distribution channels and related prices, commission structures and transaction volumes; an increase in the Company’s vehicle costs or disruption to its rental activity, particularly during its peak periods, due to safety recalls by the manufacturers of its vehicles; a major disruption in the Company’s communication or centralized information networks; financial instability of the manufacturers of the Company’s vehicles; any impact on the Company from the actions of its franchisees, dealers and independent contractors; the Company’s ability to sustain operations during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease); shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete dispositions; the Company’s ability to maintain favorable brand recognition and a coordinated and comprehensive branding and portfolio strategy; costs and risks associated with litigation and investigations; risks related to the Company’s indebtedness, including its substantial amount of debt, its ability to incur substantially more debt, the fact that substantially all of its consolidated assets secure certain of its outstanding indebtedness and increases in interest rates or in its borrowing margins; the Company’s ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in its Senior Facilities and the Letter of Credit Facility, its outstanding unsecured Senior Notes, its outstanding Senior Second Priority Secured Notes and certain asset-backed and asset-based arrangements; changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and the Company’s ability to make accurate estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on operating results; risks associated with operating in many different countries, including the risk of a violation or alleged violation of applicable anticorruption or antibribery laws and the Company’s ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences; the Company’s ability to prevent the misuse or theft of information it possesses, including as a result of cyber security breaches and other security threats; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its information technology and finance transformation programs; changes in the existing, or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations where such actions may affect the Company’s operations, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; changes to the Company’s senior management team and the dependence of its business operations on its senior management team; the effect of tangible and intangible asset impairment charges; the Company’s exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historical levels; fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices; the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in periodic and current reports that the Company files with the SEC.

    Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

    You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

    FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING DATA

    On June 30, 2016, former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (for periods on or prior to June 30, 2016, "Old Hertz Holdings" and for periods after June 30, 2016, "Herc Holdings") completed the previously announced separation of its existing vehicle rental and equipment rental businesses into two independent, publicly traded companies (the "Spin-Off"). The separation was structured as a reverse spin-off under which the vehicle rental business was contributed to the Company, the stock of which was then distributed as a dividend to stockholders of Old Hertz Holdings. While the Company was the legal spinnee in the separation, the Company is the accounting successor to the pre-spin-off business. As a result, the former equipment rental business and certain former parent entities of Old Hertz Holdings are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial information. Unless noted otherwise, information presented in the following tables and supplemental schedules pertain to Hertz Global’s continuing operations.

Also includes $5 million and $8 million of consulting costs and legal fees related to the previously disclosed accounting review and investigation in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

    (d)

Also includes net expenses of $16 million primarily due to charges in the third quarter 2017 related to the hurricanes, offset by $6 million gain on the sale of the Company’s Brazil Operations and a return of capital from an equity method investment resulting in a $4 million gain. Additionally, includes fourth quarter charges of $5 million associated with strategic financings. For 2016, includes a $9 million settlement gain recorded in the first quarter from an eminent domain case related to one of the Company’s airport locations.

    Hertz Global is the top-level holding company and The Hertz Corporation is Hertz Global’s primary operating company (together, the "Company"). The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Definitions of non-GAAP measures and key metrics are set forth below. Also set forth below is a summary of the reasons why management of the Company believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings release provide useful information regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and additional purposes for which management of the Company utilizes the non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) and Adjusted Pre-tax Margin

    Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs and certain other miscellaneous, non-recurring, or non-cash items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of the Company’s business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess the operational performance of the Company on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance, such as net income (loss) from continuing operations or income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. Adjusted pre-tax margin is adjusted pre-tax income (loss) divided by total revenues.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

    Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as adjusted pre-tax income (loss) less a provision for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate of 37%. The combined statutory rate is management’s estimate of the Company’s long-term tax rate. Adjusted net income (loss) is important to management and investors because it represents the Company’s operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting, debt-related charges, and certain other miscellaneous, non-recurring, or non-cash items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS")

    Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Adjusted diluted EPS is important to management and investors because it represents a measure of the Company’s operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, debt-related charges, and certain other miscellaneous, non-recurring, or non-cash items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, 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. 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. When evaluating the Company’s liquidity, investors should not consider Adjusted free cash flow in isolation of, or as a substitute for, a measure of the Company’s liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities.

    Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Gross EBITDA"), Corporate EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

    Gross EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation (which includes lease charges on revenue earning vehicles) and amortization. Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents Gross EBITDA as adjusted for vehicle debt interest, vehicle depreciation and vehicle debt-related charges. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents Corporate EBITDA as adjusted for certain other miscellaneous, non-recurring, or non-cash items, as described in more detail in the accompanying schedules.

    Management uses Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. Further, Gross EBITDA enables management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics such as revenue, direct vehicle and operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which enables management and investors to evaluate the Company’s business segments that are financed differently and have different depreciation characteristics and compare the Company’s performance against companies with different capital structures and depreciation policies. We also present Adjusted Corporate EBITDA as a supplemental measure because such information is utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation.

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues and is used by the Compensation Committee to determine certain executive compensation, primarily in the form of PSUs.

    Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider Gross EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) from continuing operations or income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

    Fleet Growth

    U.S. and International Rental Car segments fleet growth is defined as 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 as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.

    Net Non-Vehicle Debt

    Net non-vehicle debt is calculated as non-vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company’s Senior Term Loan, Senior RCF, Senior Notes, Senior Second Priority Secured Notes, Promissory Notes and certain other non-vehicle indebtedness of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net non-vehicle debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company’s corporate leverage. Net non-vehicle debt 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

    Net vehicle debt is calculated as vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs 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

    Total net debt is calculated as total debt, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issue costs are required to be reported as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt obligation under GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects that these costs have on debt will more accurately reflect the Company’s net debt position. Total net debt 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 is calculated as average vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a period.

    Average Vehicles

    Average Vehicles, also known as "fleet capacity", is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased by the Company at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, average vehicles is used to calculate Vehicle Utilization which represents the portion of the Company’s vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue.

    Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month

    Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month and is calculated as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, divided by the average vehicles in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported. 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 Revenue

    Total rental revenue is calculated as total revenue less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue, 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.

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

    Total RPD is calculated as total rental revenue divided by the total number of 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")

    Total RPU is calculated as total rental revenue divided by the average vehicles in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity.

    Transaction 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

    Vehicle utilization is calculated by dividing total transaction days by available car days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity.
