"Our ‘Back-to-Basics Roadmap’ is working," said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. "Disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization, and rigorous cost control are driving meaningful results. In a dynamic environment shaped by tariffs and economic uncertainty, capitalizing on our fleet as our most dominant economic lever keeps us agile today and positions us to deliver long-term, sustainable value.
"Just a year ago, we were managing through an aging fleet and pressure on residual values. Today, thanks to swift and disciplined action, we’ve rotated into a newer, more efficient fleet that’s resilient, cost-effective, and aligned with a rising residual environment. As an asset management business that buys, rents, and sells vehicles, disciplined execution across all three areas is key to unlocking stronger returns and strengthening our financial foundation."
ESTERO, Fla., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz", "Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its first quarter 2025.
Highlights
The fleet rotation is delivering results, with vehicle depreciation down 45% year-over-year, due to the "Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right" strategy:
The Company is targeted to meet sub $300 depreciation per unit ("DPU") faster than expected. This is now forecasted to be achieved in the second quarter, with model year 2025 vehicles already achieving this target
More than 70% of the core U.S. rental fleet is 12 months old or newer
Record quarter for retail vehicle sales including Hertz Car Sales
The Company achieved a $92 million year-over-year improvement in direct operating expenses which was a result of cost control initiatives, supported by the strategic fleet rotation.
The Company remains on track to achieve positive Adjusted Corporate EBITDA by the third quarter of 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, Hertz had $1.2 billion in corporate liquidity. In May 2025, Hertz extended the maturity of $1.7 billion of its First Lien revolving credit facility ("RCF") maturities to June 2028.
Overview
Hertz initiated a comprehensive strategic transformation one year ago under CEO Gil West.
Under Mr. West’s leadership and a newly appointed executive team, Hertz established its "Back-to-Basics Roadmap" anchored by three core financial pillars: fleet management, revenue optimization and cost efficiency. This strategic reset is significantly improving operational performance, establishing a stronger financial foundation, and positioning Hertz for long-term value creation.
The Company remains focused on its profitability initiatives; rotating its fleet, normalizing DPU, and improving its cost structure. Hertz’s objectives remain unchanged: to achieve DPU below $300, revenue per unit ("RPU") above $1,500 and direct operating expense ("DOE") per transaction day in the low $30s.
Fleet and Retail Sales Strategy
The Company recognized the fleet as the most dominant economic lever and began a refresh in 2024, replacing older, less customer-preferred models with newer vehicles offering lower operating costs and improved depreciation performance. Hertz’s approach is guided by its disciplined fleet strategy – "Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right". This approach prioritizes acquiring vehicles at favorable prices, aligning fleet composition with customer preferences, and maximizing residual values through retail channel sales, particularly the Company’s own Hertz Car Sales.
Under the "Buy Right" pillar, the Company proactively worked to secure model year 2025 buys ahead of the tariff implementation which proved to be a prudent move as this group of vehicles has a collective DPU of less than $300.
The impact of this proactive rotation is evident. In the first quarter of 2025, vehicle depreciation decreased 45% year-over-year and DPU for the quarter was $353, a meaningful improvement both sequentially and year-over-year. While the Company previously guided to sustainable DPU under $300 by the end of 2025, the favorable residual values and strong performance from model year 2025 vehicles have the Company on track to achieve this target in the second quarter of 2025.
Through "Hold Right", over 70% of the Company’s core U.S. rental fleet is 12 months old or less, enabling it to maintain a newer, desirable fleet for customers while retaining flexibility to manage through market volatility.
As one of the world’s largest used car dealers, Hertz is prioritizing retail as its primary vehicle sales channel, with Hertz Car Sales playing a leading role. As a cornerstone of the Company’s "Sell Right" strategy, this is key to maximizing value and improving unit economics. By leaning into retail over wholesale, in March 2025 Hertz also began to benefit from tariff-driven pricing dynamics, with used car prices rising and DPU declining. As such, the Company delivered its strongest-ever quarter for retail vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2025. To build on this momentum, Hertz is expanding its retail footprint, deepening strategic partnerships, and increasing visibility of the Hertz Car Sales brand.
Revenue and Demand Environment
Revenue was down year-over-year driven primarily by reduced fleet capacity. The Company continues to manage its fleet prudently, which was down 8% year-over-year in the first quarter. Given macro demand uncertainties, it is intentionally running a tighter fleet year-over-year while capitalizing on the strong residual value environment to accelerate the rotation of its remaining older vehicles. The focus is to offset some of the fleet reduction through higher utilization and "sweating the assets" with more days. RPU declined 3% year-over-year due to the timing of the Easter holiday and Leap Year, as well as a margin-accretive shift in fleet mix to better align with customer booking behavior. Utilization was up 240 basis points year-over-year and would have been stronger if not for temporary headwinds from accelerated in-fleeting.
Looking forward, the Company sees both macroeconomic uncertainty and opportunity. The Company has recently seen demand moderate for corporate, government and U.S. inbound segments while forward bookings for Hertz leisure are up year-over-year. The Company intends to remain prudent in its fleet management, entering the summer with a relatively tight fleet, and thereby leveraging rising residual values. As always, the Company will remain nimble as it assesses the changing demand environment. Macroeconomic opportunity lies in the upside revenue potential which has historically followed periods of constrained vehicle supply. Prior supply constraints resulting from the 2008 Financial Crisis and, most recently, the COVID pandemic, have consistently driven significant revenue per day ("RPD") gains throughout the industry.
In the rest of 2025 and into 2026, the Company is focused on fundamentally improving the durability and margins of the business.
First, the Company is making foundational changes to its revenue management system which are expected to be meaningfully margin-accretive.
Second, the Company is continuing to build the foundations for improved demand generation within the off-airport and mobility business units. The Company expects to achieve improved resilience during lower demand seasons and economic cycles, while also improving RPU by leveraging greater options for demand selection. Further diversification of the Company’s revenue streams should lead to greater resilience and improved margins over time.
Third, the Company is already driving a greater mix of durable demand segments such as direct sales through owned websites, thereby improving RPD mix, and expects to gain further traction.
Fourth, the Company is enhancing its customer experience. By the end of the first quarter of 2025, Net Promoter Scores improved by 11 points year-over-year, demonstrating operational excellence across its global footprint. Equally encouraging, loyalty enrollments were up 11% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, and this is starting to translate into increased loyalty bookings.
Cost Management
The Company’s cost control efforts, which have been supported by its fleet refresh activities, have contributed to an improvement in DOE in the first quarter of 2025 of $92 million year-over-year. On a per day basis, DOE in the first quarter of 2025 was down 4% quarter-over-quarter, despite lower volume. Year-over-year, DOE per day was down 1% on a volume adjusted basis. The Company is partnering with a global leader in AI-driven vehicle inspection systems, which it expects will improve the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle maintenance and damage collections, while also providing a more transparent, digital-first experience for customers. In the first quarter of 2025, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation awards forfeited in the prior-year quarter, selling, general and administrative costs also decreased year-over-year.
Collectively, these efforts are expected to significantly improve the Company’s results and position it to return to positive Adjusted Corporate EBITDA by the third quarter.
Recent Transactions
In May 2025, the Company amended its First Lien Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of $1.7 billion of commitments under its existing $2.0 billion First Lien RCF from June 2026 to March 2028, subject to a springing maturity date (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), and to make certain other amendments to the First Lien Credit Agreement. Hertz will have access to up to $2.0 billion under the First Lien RCF until June 2026, and thereafter the aggregate amount of commitments under the First Lien RCF is $1.7 billion until March 2028, after giving effect to the amendment. The principal financial terms of the amended facilities are essentially unchanged.
Also in May 2025, the Company completed the following transactions with regard to its U.S., Europe and Canadian vehicle debt facilities:
Extended $2.9 billion of maturities under the HVFIII Series 2021-A variable funding notes to May 2027, demonstrating strong market acceptance and competitive pricing buoyed by favorable U.S. RAC fleet values. As of March 2025, the fair market value (FMV) of the fleet in the ABS was $9.2 billion versus ABS net book value (NBV) of $8.8 billion and the three-month average FMV was ~105% of NBV
Extended maturities for €1.2 billion of its European ABS to April 2027
Extended the maturity of its Canadian Securitization to April 2027
Overall, these transactions improve the Company’s capital structure and maturity ladder, and de-risks the balance sheet, providing flexibility for the Company to continue its transformation.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 EPS")
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; vehicle and non-vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; acquisition accounting-related depreciation and amortization; unrealized (gains) losses on financial instruments; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring 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 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 EPS are important operating metrics because they allow management and investors 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; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; unrealized (gains) losses on financial instruments; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring 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 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 and investors 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 operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow
Adjusted operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities net of the non-cash add back for vehicle depreciation and reserves, and exclusive of bankruptcy related payments made post emergence. Adjusted operating cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash generated from operations when fully burdened by fleet costs.
Adjusted free cash flow represents adjusted operating cash flow plus the impact of net non-vehicle capital expenditures and net fleet growth after financing. Adjusted free cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for, but not limited to, the reduction of non-vehicle debt, share repurchase and acquisition.
The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
Net Fleet Growth After Financing
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 issuance costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company’s Senior Term Loans, Senior RCF, First Lien Senior Notes, Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured 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. 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 issuance costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issuance 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.
Net Corporate Leverage
Net Corporate Leverage is calculated as non-vehicle net debt divided by Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Corporate Leverage is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s corporate leverage net of unrestricted cash. Net Corporate Leverage also assists in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to service its non-vehicle debt with reference to the generation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.
KEY METRICS
Available Rental Car Days
Available Rental Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given 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.
Average Rentable Vehicles
Average Rentable Vehicles reflects Average Vehicles excluding vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month ("Depreciation Per Unit" or "DPU")
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 so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it reflects how effectively the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates 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 revenue generated per transaction day, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measure of changes in the 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", "RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")
Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of revenue generated per vehicle in the rental fleet each month, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased, or asset efficiency.
Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")
Transaction Days represents 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 Rental 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 rentable fleet capacity.

The Dollar Common Sensei campaign brings a fresh, engaging perspective to travel and car rentals by offering a practical approach to navigating the process with ease and confidence. In a series of new ads, Day plays off the notion of travel nonsense – complications like searching online for hours to score a deal or paying too much for bottled water at a hotel. He gently pokes fun at these relatable experiences through the persona of The Common Sensei, taking absurd situations and making them make sense through wit and charm.
“As someone who’s on the road quite a bit I’ve seen a lot of things that just don’t make much sense. As Dollar’s Common Sensei I get to share my wisdom to help people make better travel decisions, like booking directly on Dollar.com to score their lowest rates on your rental car,” said Mikey Day. “Best of all, I play different personas including my pre-enlightened self and my clueless cousin, who really needed to wise up and learn that renting a car from Dollar Makes Sense!”
The series will be featured across streaming video and audio, social media, and owned channels showcasing Mikey as the knowledgeable sensei and five additional eccentric personas who require the sensei’s wisdom to understand that renting with Dollar makes sense. “Through a blend of humor and helpful tips, the campaign highlights how Dollar takes the guesswork out of car rentals, making it easier for travelers to focus on enjoying their trip,” said Sandeep Dube, Chief Commercial Officer. “With Mikey as our Common Sensei, we’re adding a fun, relatable twist that encourages travelers to simplify their journey by choosing Dollar because we’re committed to making every aspect of our customers’ travel experience easier.”

ESTERO, Fla., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz", "Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year 2024.
Q4 2024
Revenue of $2.0 billion
GAAP net loss of $479 million, or $1.56 loss per diluted share
FY 2024
Revenue of $9.0 billion
GAAP net loss of $2.9 billion, or $9.34 loss per diluted share
30,000 EV fleet reduction announced in 2023 has been completed
Strong corporate liquidity of $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024
OVERVIEW
The Company has been executing a commercial strategy aimed at maximizing RPU, primarily by driving a greater mix of high RPD business coupled with keeping fleet capacity inside demand. As a result, year over year RPU declines narrowed from down 7% in the first quarter of 2024 to down only 1% in the fourth quarter.
Vehicle depreciation improved 19% year over year in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 included $245 million of loss on sale for EV’s stemming from the Company’s EV fleet reduction plan that did not recur in the fourth quarter of 2024. This benefit was partially offset by loss on sales experienced in the fourth quarter of 2024 largely driven by the impacts of higher-than-normal defleeting. The Company is in the midst of a fleet rotation aimed at normalizing DPU that is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025, at which time it expects DPU to settle below $300.
In the fourth quarter, direct vehicle and operating expenses rose by 2% compared to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to insurance cost headwinds and the recognition of additional non-cash rent expense, which primarily resulted from leases expense recognition post the long-lived asset impairment in the third quarter of 2024. This, combined with lower volume, drove a 6% year over year increase in DOE per transaction day. Selling, general and administrative expenses improved 9% year over year in the fourth quarter, due mostly to lower personnel and advertising expenses. The Company is laser-focused on its continued execution of structural operational efficiencies, including initiatives to lower insurance costs, that it expects will drive ongoing improvements in per day unit costs.
Adjusted Corporate EBITDA loss narrowed year over year in the fourth quarter to negative $357 million.
The Company is in the midst of an operational transformation grounded in its back to basics strategy aimed at strengthening the core business. The Company is laser-focused on excellence in execution of this strategy. The operational transformation is ongoing and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2025.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 EPS")
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; vehicle and non-vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; acquisition accounting-related depreciation and amortization; unrealized (gains) losses on financial instruments; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring 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 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 EPS are important operating metrics because they allow management and investors 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; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; unrealized (gains) losses on financial instruments; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring 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 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 and investors 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 operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow
Adjusted operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities net of the non-cash add back for vehicle depreciation and reserves, and exclusive of bankruptcy related payments made post emergence. Adjusted operating cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash generated from operations when fully burdened by fleet costs.
Adjusted free cash flow represents adjusted operating cash flow plus the impact of net non-vehicle capital expenditures and net fleet growth after financing. Adjusted free cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for, but not limited to, the reduction of non-vehicle debt, share repurchase and acquisition.
The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
Net Fleet Growth After Financing
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 issuance costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company’s Senior Term Loans, Senior RCF, First Lien Senior Notes, Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured 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. 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 issuance costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issuance 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.
Net Corporate Leverage
Net Corporate Leverage is calculated as non-vehicle net debt divided by Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Corporate Leverage is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s corporate leverage net of unrestricted cash. Net Corporate Leverage also assists in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to service its non-vehicle debt with reference to the generation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.
KEY METRICS
Available Rental Car Days
Available Rental Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given 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.
Average Rentable Vehicles
Average Rentable Vehicles reflects Average Vehicles excluding vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month ("Depreciation Per Unit" or "DPU")
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 so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it reflects how effectively the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates 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 revenue generated per transaction day, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measure of changes in the 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", "RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")
Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of revenue generated per vehicle in the rental fleet each month, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased, or asset efficiency.
Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")
Transaction Days represents 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 Rental 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 rentable fleet capacity.
