    Hertz and MINDDRIVE Partner on Sustainable Mobility and Education Campaign –Hertz sponsors MINDDRIVE students in a cross country road trip to promote sustainable technology and green travel —

    PARK RIDGE, N.J., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) announced a partnership with MINDDRIVE, a non-profit educational program, to engage and educate local communities about sustainable mobility through a cross country road trip in an electric vehicle built by MINDDRIVE students. MINDDRIVE teaches at-risk high school students business and technology based skills by converting older model cars into electric vehicles.

    "MINDDRIVE is a great partner for Hertz as both of our organizations are actively promoting positive sustainability and community outcomes through fleet, innovation and technology," said Mark P. Frissora, Chairman and CEO of Hertz. "Just as MINDDRIVE engages students through first-hand learning and technology, Hertz believes that providing our customers with the opportunity to drive new, alternative fuel vehicles will help educate them about the benefits of sustainable transportation."

    To help raise awareness about green transport and travel, Hertz is sponsoring the MINDDRIVE teams’ cross country road trip this summer, as well as providing support vehicles from its Green Traveler Collection. The Green Traveler Collection includes high fuel economy and alternative fuel vehicles, such as hybrids, electric vehicles and clean diesel.

    The 2013 MINDDRIVE campaign includes rebuilding a 1967 Karmann Ghia into a fully electric, low-speed, neighborhood car. The team will be touring the country in the rebuilt EV to help raise awareness about MINDDRIVE’s education program. From there, students will replicate the neighborhood car design using sustainable materials, including molded plywood and fiberglass, resulting in a lightweight, ultra-efficient and sustainable vehicle. This Series 2 Karmann Ghia will become a kit car for low-production resale.

    "Our mission is to inspire students to learn, expand their vision of the future, and to have a positive influence on urban workforce development," says Steve Rees, MINDDRIVE founder. "When our students work shoulder-to-shoulder for 16 weeks with an adult mentor, they begin to envision a different outcome for their lives."

    About MINDDRIVE

    MINDDRIVE, is a 501(c)3 organization based in Kansas City, Missouri which serves the high school students, teaching math, science, technology and creativity through hands-on, experiential learning.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $743.6 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $492.0 million in the same period last year, an increase of $251.6 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income before depreciation and amortization, as well as the timing of interest and other corporate payments. Free cash flow(1) increased by $5.7 million due to increases in net cash provided by operating activities noted above, partially offset by increased capital expenditures on revenue earning equipment, and property and equipment. The Company ended the first quarter of 2013 with total debt of $16.3 billion and net corporate debt(1) of $6.5 billion, compared with total debt of $15.4 billion and net corporate debt of $5.9 billion as of December 31, 2012. In March 2013, the Company purchased 23.2 million shares of company stock for $467.2 million, in connection with the sale of 60,050,777 shares by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, The Carlyle Group and BofA Merrill Lynch. The shares will be held as treasury stock. In addition, the Company stated its intent to settle the conversion of the 5.25% Senior Convertible Notes in 100% stock.

    WORLDWIDE CAR RENTAL

    Worldwide car rental revenues were $2,084.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 25.7% from the prior year period. The Company achieved record transaction days for the quarter which increased 23.4% over the first quarter of 2012 [31.7% U.S.; 1.8% International] largely due to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partially offset by the Advantage divestiture. U.S. off-airport total revenues for the first quarter increased 13.5% year-over-year, and transaction days increased 13.0% from the prior year period. Worldwide rental rate total revenue per transaction day(1) ("total RPD") for the quarter increased 2.6% [4.8% U.S.; (1.2)% International] from the prior year period.

    Worldwide car rental adjusted pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2013 was $208.4 million, an increase of $116.8 million from $91.6 million in the prior year period. The result was driven by stronger volumes and pricing including the impact of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, lower net depreciation per vehicle, lower interest expense as a % of revenues, an increase in total RPD, and disciplined cost management. As a result, worldwide car rental achieved an adjusted pre-tax margin(1) of 10.0% for the quarter, versus 5.5% in the prior year period.

    The worldwide average number of Company-operated cars for the first quarter of 2013 was 757,100, an increase of 27.2% over the prior year period, largely as a result of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition.

    WORLDWIDE EQUIPMENT RENTAL

    Worldwide equipment rental revenues were $351.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, a 16.2% increase from the prior year period. The primary drivers of the increase were stronger equipment rental volumes, up 15.7%, and a 3.6% increase in pricing. Volume increased on strong industrial and improving construction performance.

    Adjusted pre-tax income for worldwide equipment rental for the first quarter of 2013 was $45.8 million, an improvement of $19.9 million from $25.9 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the effects of increased volume, improved pricing and cost management initiatives. Worldwide equipment rental achieved an adjusted pre-tax margin of 13.0% and a Corporate EBITDA margin(1) of 39.6% for the quarter.

    The average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the first quarter of 2013 increased by 12.8% year-over-year and net revenue earning equipment as of March 31, 2013 was $2,269.5 million, compared to $1,911.1 million as of March 31, 2012.

    OUTLOOK

    The Company reaffirms its full year 2013 guidance, provided on February 25, 2013, for revenues, Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. In 2013, the Company expects to generate worldwide revenues in the range of $10,850 million – $10,950 million, Corporate EBITDA in the range of $2,210 million – $2,270 million, adjusted pre-tax income in the range of $1,270 million – $1,340 million, adjusted net income in the range of $830 million – $875 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.82 – $1.92.

    RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION

    The Company’s operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), posted the same revenues for the first quarter of 2013 as the Company. Hertz’s first quarter 2013 pre-tax income was $86.0 million versus the Company’s pre-tax income of $72.2 million. The difference between Hertz’s and the Company’s results is primarily due to additional interest expense recognized by the Company on its 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes issued in May and September 2009.

    (1) Adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted pre-tax margin, Corporate EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, net corporate debt and rental rate revenue per transaction day are non-GAAP measures. See the accompanying Tables and Exhibit for the reconciliations and definitions for each of these non-GAAP measures and the reason the Company’s management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

    (2) Management believes that Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful in measuring the comparable results of the Company period-over-period. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are (i) pre-tax income and cash flows from operating activities, (ii) pre-tax income, (iii) net income, and (iv) diluted earnings per share, respectively. Because of the forward-looking nature of the Company’s forecasted Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile forecasted cash flows from operating activities, pre-tax income and net income are not available. The Company believes that there is a degree of volatility with respect to certain of the Company’s GAAP measures, primarily related to fair value accounting for its financial assets (which includes the Company’s derivative financial instruments), its income tax reporting and certain adjustments made to arrive at the relevant non-GAAP measures, which preclude the Company from providing accurate forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. Based on the above, the Company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the non-GAAP Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share to forecasted cash flows from operating activities, pre-tax income, net income and diluted earnings per share would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

    Exhibit 1

    Non-GAAP Measures: Definitions and Use/Importance

    Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Holdings") is our top-level holding company. The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz") is our primary operating company. The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Definitions of non-GAAP measures utilized in Hertz Holdings’ April 29, 2013 Press Release are set forth below. Also set forth below is a summary of the reasons why management of Hertz Holdings and Hertz believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the Press Release provide useful information regarding Hertz Holdings’ and Hertz’s financial condition and results of operations and additional purposes, if any, for which management of Hertz Holdings and Hertz utilize the non-GAAP measures.

    1. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Corporate EBITDA

    EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation (which includes revenue earning equipment lease charges) and amortization. Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as described in more detail in the accompanying tables.

    Management uses EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA as operating performance and liquidity metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. Further, EBITDA enables management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics such as revenue, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which enables management and investors to evaluate our two business segments that are financed differently and have different depreciation characteristics and compare our performance against companies with different capital structures and depreciation policies. We also present Corporate EBITDA as a supplemental measure because such information is utilized in the calculation of financial covenants under Hertz’s senior credit facilities.

    EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating our operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities.

    2. Adjusted Pre-Tax Income

    Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income before income taxes plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our 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 that 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.

    3. Adjusted Net Income

    Adjusted net income is calculated as adjusted pre-tax income less a provision for income taxes derived utilizing a normalized income tax rate (35% in 2013 and 34% in 2012) and noncontrolling interest. The normalized income tax rate is management’s estimate of our long-term tax rate. Adjusted net income is important to management and investors because it represents our operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting, non-cash debt charges, one-time charges and items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.

    4. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

    Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, 460.9 million which represents the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period; for the three months ended March 31, 2012, 418.1 million which represents the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period; which represents the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is important to management and investors because it represents a measure of our operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, non-cash debt charges, one-time charges and items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.

    5. Transaction Days

    Transaction days represent the total number of days that vehicles were on rent in a given period.

    6. Car Rental Revenue, Total Rental Revenue Per Transaction Day and Total Rental Revenue Per Transaction

    Car rental revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding non-rental revenues derived from Donlen. Total revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it represents the best measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

    7. Equipment Rental and Rental Related Revenue

    Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and to investors as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants.

    8. Same Store Revenue Growth/Decline

    Same store revenue growth or decline is calculated as the year over year change in revenue for locations that are open at the end of the period reported and have been operating under our direction for more than twelve months. The same store revenue amounts are adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends.

    9. Free Cash Flow

    Free cash flow is calculated as Net cash provided by operating activities less revenue earning equipment expenditures, net of disposal proceeds and car rental fleet financing, less non-fleet capital expenditures, net of non-fleet disposals. Free cash flow is important to management and investors as it represents the cash available for acquisitions and the reduction of corporate debt.

    10. Net Corporate Debt

    Net corporate debt is calculated as total debt excluding fleet debt less cash and equivalents and corporate restricted cash. Corporate debt consists of our Senior Term Facility; Senior ABL Facility; Senior Notes; Senior Subordinated Notes, Convertible Senior Notes; and certain other indebtedness of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net Corporate Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure our leverage. Net Corporate Debt also assists in the evaluation of our ability to service our non-fleet-related debt without reference to the expense associated with the fleet debt, which is fully collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-fleet debt facilities.

    11. Corporate Restricted Cash (used in the calculation of Net Corporate Debt)

    Total restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Total restricted cash and equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, our like-kind exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self insurance regulatory reserve requirements. Corporate restricted cash is calculated as total restricted cash less restricted cash associated with fleet debt.

    12. Net Fleet Debt

    Net fleet debt is calculated as total fleet debt less restricted cash associated with fleet debt. As of March 31, 2013, fleet debt consists of HVF U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, HVF U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Fleet Notes, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, Brazilian Fleet Financing and Capitalized Leases relating to revenue earning equipment. This measure is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure our leverage.

    13. Restricted Cash Associated with Fleet Debt (used in the calculation of Net Fleet Debt and Corporate Restricted Cash)

    Restricted cash associated with fleet debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities and our car rental like-kind exchange program.

    14. Total Net Debt

    Total net debt is calculated as net corporate debt plus net fleet debt. This measure is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure our leverage.

    Hertz Partners With China Auto Rental — Global Leader Hertz Expands China Presence In Agreement with Country’s #1 Car Rental Company —

    PARK RIDGE, N.J., April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE:HTZ) and China Auto Rental (CAR) announced today that Hertz, the global car rental leader, has agreed to invest in CAR, China’s domestic market leader in short and long-term car rentals. Hertz will acquire a stake of approximately 20%, on a fully diluted basis, in CAR and hold a seat on CAR’s Board of Directors. Hertz and CAR will be co-branded at the latter’s full service rental locations countrywide, and Hertz’s car rental locations and operations in China, which will provide premium rental services in key cities, will be contributed to CAR. Hertz will continue to manage its outbound sales team in China, and its equipment rental business in the country is unaffected by this announcement.

    (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110810/NY50373LOGO )

    The partnership fulfills Hertz’s objective to significantly increase its presence in the rapidly expanding car rental market in China. Additionally, Hertz and CAR will be exclusive car rental partners for inbound and outbound business, offering international corporate and leisure travelers unparalleled short and long term rental services. In 2012, China’s international travel expenditures exceeded $100 billion, #1 worldwide, and its domestic rental business is expected to grow more than 15% annually through 2016.

    "As the leading global car rental brand, it’s a perfect fit for Hertz to partner with the largest and most recognized car rental company in China. China Auto Rental has the largest domestic rental footprint, with 700 locations in 66 cities, and a 50,000-vehicle fleet which is more than four times the size of its nearest competitor. Also, CAR is growing rapidly, having doubled its revenues in 2012 to $250 million, 2.5 times larger than any other domestic company," commented Mark P. Frissora, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Hertz Corporation.

    "CAR’s 200% annual growth rate from 2009-2012 is 6 times higher than the market over the same period, and their 50%+ annual forecasted growth rate through 2016 is more than 3 times higher than the overall market projection. As a result, Hertz is now uniquely positioned among American and European car rental brands to support the rapidly expanding Chinese rental market, as well as CAR’s growth. Not only will CAR and Hertz be able to fulfill business and leisure rentals throughout the country, we will also provide the best rental solutions for international travelers to and from China, two markets with strong growth projections," added Frissora.

    Under the agreement, which is subject to normal closing conditions, CAR will be granted a license for an initial 5 year term to operate on behalf of Hertz in China. CAR will develop a network of full-service Hertz premium locations in key cities to complement CAR’s expanding location footprint. Taken together, the Hertz/CAR services will encompass self-drive and chauffeur-driven rentals, as well as short, medium and long-term vehicle rentals and leases. Hertz will provide CAR with access to a full array of services to support their rapidly expanding market presence, services which meet Hertz’s industry-leading standards. These include access to Hertz’s operational expertise, reservation capabilities, and fleet management efficiencies.

    "Hertz has extensive industry experience, advanced technology, strong brand influence and abundant customer resources. We are very pleased to enter into a comprehensive and in-depth strategic cooperation with Hertz. I believe this alliance will further intensify CAR’s shareholder strength and reinforce CAR’s leading position in China’s car rental industry. It will to a great extent enhance CAR’s scale, branding, as well as products and services, which will bring customers at home and abroad a car rental experience of high quality and convenience," commented China Auto Rental Chairman and Chief Executive officer, Charles Lu.

    PARK RIDGE, N.J., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) the world’s largest general use car rental brand has appointed Holiday Holdings International as its exclusive General Sales Agent (GSA) in Southern Africa.

    (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110810/NY50373LOGO)

    The new partnership has tasked Holiday Holdings to grow outbound car rental reservations from South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Botswana to more than 8,800 Hertz locations worldwide in 150 countries.

    In 2012 the USA was the most popular destination for Hertz customers from Southern Africa, while seven European countries were among the top ten destinations, including the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Greece, and Spain.

    Michel Taride, Group President, RAC International, Hertz Corporation, commented: "For more than 90 years, Hertz has helped millions of customers from all over the world enjoy the freedom of the open road, and we view Southern Africa as an important emerging source market for our international car rentals.

    With its wealth of travel trade experience and in-depth market knowledge of Southern African countries, Holiday Holdings International is ideally positioned to help Hertz expand its long-term outbound growth strategy for key global markets such as the USA and Europe."

    Gavin Simpson, CEO of Holiday Holdings added: "Given the magnitude of this important account, Hertz undertook a detailed evaluation of the available options for GSA representation in Southern Africa before deciding on the appointment of Holiday Holdings International.

    We will collaborate closely with the local Hertz franchisee to grow both domestic and outbound business for Hertz and the respective brand ambassadors of each organization will coordinate their sales efforts to maximize synergy wherever possible."

    Holiday Holdings International has set up a local reservations office and call centre for Hertz in the Randburg district of Johannesburg to service the travel trade and corporate market.
