    "At Hertz, we’re committed to making car rental fast and easy," commented Mark P. Frissora, Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Partnering with CLEAR extends our commitment into the airports, enabling our customers to experience an expedited security clearance process. Our services, coupled together, will allow customers to travel with a certainty of speed that customers appreciate when traveling."

    Once a CLEAR member, Hertz customers will have unlimited access to CLEAR’s growing airport network. In addition, CLEAR members will receive access to discounts on a variety of Hertz rentals, including but not limited to international, weekend and promotional rates.

    "We are excited to partner with Hertz to offer CLEAR members and Hertz customers benefits that help ensure stress-free travel from door to door," said Effie Epstein, Director of Business Development and Strategy for CLEAR. "Both CLEAR and Hertz are obsessed with transforming the travel experience and together we can bring even more speed and personal customer service to travelers across the country."

    Currently operational in San Francisco, Dallas-Fort Worth, Orlando and Denver, CLEAR’s at-airport kiosks allow passengers to verify their identity using biometrics (fingerprint or iris) at security checkpoints. With automated identity verification and personal customer service, CLEAR members speed through airport security in an average of five minutes or less, effectively transforming the travel experience. CLEAR is working closely with airports across the country to bring its expedited traveler service to business and leisure travelers everywhere.

    Operating one of the youngest and most diverse fleets in the industry, Hertz is committed to identifying and adopting the most technologically advanced products and services available. Incorporating innovative products such as CLEAR, allows for the fastest, easiest and most valued rental experience for every Hertz customer. Similar initiatives include Hertz ‘Carfirmations’, a mobile SMS text and email service that confirms a Gold member’s reservation and advises them of their car and location prior to arrival at the Hertz facility; ‘Gold Choice’, which gives Gold members the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose a different car from the Gold Choice area; Counter By-Pass and e-Return, which allows customers to bypass counter lines and go directly to their cars and then return their vehicles with the fastest car rental drop off available today (an option that also includes an emailed receipt). These are all free services for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members, which is free to join. In addition, Hertz continues to expand the presence of its ExpressRent Interactive Kiosks, which allow customers to rent a car, with or without a reservation through a live, face-to-face video kiosk. Finally, with the largest fleet of make and model reservable cars in the industry, Hertz pioneered vehicle-specific reservation capabilities via its collections series.

  • Hertz And Liberty Tire Announce Industry’s First National Tire Recycling Program
Hertz is First to Commit to Zero Landfill Waste for Tires

    Hertz And Liberty Tire Announce Industry’s First National Tire Recycling Program Hertz is First to Commit to Zero Landfill Waste for Tires

    PARK RIDGE, N.J., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) and Liberty Tire Recycling today launched the first nationwide tire recycling program in the U.S. car rental industry. Liberty Tire Recycling is the largest tire recycling company in North America and converts used tires into rubber feedstock and other materials that can be used for a wide variety of eco-friendly products and services. Hertz will leverage Liberty’s nationwide service to collect its used tires, more than 160,000 annually, which will be transformed into a range of products for playgrounds, public parks, highways and other applications.

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

    "Hertz leads in sustainability throughout our operations, products and services. Today, we take the next step forward and launch the first zero landfill waste tire program in the industry," said Mark Frissora, Chairman and CEO of Hertz. "Through our partnership with Liberty Tire Recycling, we are implementing the first national tire recycling program and again set the pace for our sector."

    Liberty provides recycled rubber feedstock which produces a range of products including:

    • Landscaping & Home Garden: Liberty converts tires into unique rubber mulch that is non-allergenic and harmless to plants, pets and children. Rubber mulch resists washing away during heavy rains, and will not sustain mold, fungus growth or insect infestation. Plus, consumers save money because colorfast rubber mulch lasts much longer than wood mulch.
    • Flooring & Playground Markets: Kid-friendly mats and playground safety surfacing made from recycled tire rubber keep little falls fun and flexible, not hard and hurtful.
    • Faster Trains Speeds on Greener Rails: The finely powdered crumb rubber is the key ingredient in new composite crossties, the greenest solution for railroad tracks. Composite ties replace toxic preservative-filled hardwood ties with a solution that lasts longer and allows for heavier loads, faster train speeds and more safety.
    • Rubberized Asphalt: Highways modified with recycled tire rubber are now being constructed that ride quieter, last longer, and use significantly less paving material than traditional asphalt. Up to 8,000 tires are used in each lane mile of pavement. Because some applications of rubber asphalt are thinner than traditional conventional asphalt methods, less paving material is used.

    This partnership adds to Hertz’s award-winning commitment to sustainability, which is demonstrated by a wide variety of its practices and services. Hertz offers a collection of alternative fuel and high MPG vehicles – from electric vehicles (EVs) to clean diesel – in its Green Traveler Collection lineup. Additionally, Hertz’s car sharing service, Hertz On Demand, offers exciting EV options, including the Nissan LEAF, Chevy Volt and Mitsubishi iMiev. Recently, Hertz also expanded its electric car rental program through a pilot initiative with Plugless Power, which allows EVs to charge without being plugged into an outlet.

    Operating one of the youngest and most diverse fleets in the industry, Hertz is committed to offering its customers the most technologically innovative products and services available, resulting in the fastest, easiest and most valued rental experience. This includes Hertz ‘Carfirmations,’ a mobile SMS text and email service that confirms a Gold member’s reservation and advises them of their car and location prior to arrival at the Hertz facility; ‘Gold Choice,’ which gives Gold members the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose a different car from the Gold Choice area; and Counter By-Pass and e-Return, which allow customers to bypass counter lines and go directly to their cars and then return their vehicles with the fastest car rental drop off that includes an email receipt within hours. These are all free services for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members, which is free to join. In addition, Hertz continues to expand the presence of its ExpressRent Interactive Kiosks that let customers rent a car, with or without a reservation, through a live, face-to-face video kiosk. Finally, Hertz pioneered vehicle-specific reservation capabilities via its collections series and has the largest fleet of make and model reservable cars in the industry.

Hertz has introduced pocket-sized 3G units for rent to enable customers to connect to the internet from anywhere in Australia for a fraction of the cost of mobile roaming or hotel internet charges.

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

    The launch builds on the success of the company’s mobile Wi-Fi program in New Zealand, UK, Spain and the Canary Islands.

    The portable WiFi units can be rented from Hertz’s airport locations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Cairns. The rechargeable Wi-Fi units offer secure, high speed internet coverage for up to five hours and a generous daily data limit of 150 megabytes, enabling business and leisure travellers, both domestic and international, to stay connected throughout their journey in Australia. Units come with a USB cable for easy recharging.

    For business travellers, the mobile Wi-Fi units enable email connections and ongoing contact with the office, customers or family at home, as well as enabling simultaneous connection of up to five devices including laptop computers, smart phones and tablets. The Wi-Fi units make it easy for leisure travelers to stay in touch with friends and family, providing the ability to upload photos or videos or to converse via Skype, while also allowing multiple users to connect at the same time.

    Priced at just AUD$12.00 per day plus tax, the new units can reduce global roaming data charges by up to 90 per cent, while cutting by up to half the daily charges which apply for internet access in hotel rooms. Telephone calling costs can be reduced significantly by using Skype through the mobile Wi-Fi connection, while social media or online news can be accessed easily without large data charges.

    Hertz has partnered with technology company IDataRoam International Limited to provide the mobile Wi-Fi service, which is already being used successfully in New Zealand. Hertz customers can easily purchase additional data volume online from IDataRoam at www.idataroam.com if required.

    Hertz Named Official ‘Battle On The Midway’ Sponsor NCAA Basketball Game Set On USS Midway on Nov. 9 SDSU vs. Syracuse, 5:00 p.m. PST Tip on Fox Sports Net

    PARK RIDGE, N.J. and SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE:HTZ) and organizers for the Battle On The Midway announced today that Hertz will be an Official Sponsor of the Battle On The Midway. San Diego State University, coached by Steve Fisher who won an NCAA national title in 1989 will play the 2003 NCAA champions Syracuse University aboard the USS Midway aircraft carrier on Friday, November 9 in the Battle On The Midway game.

    (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111111/NY04880LOGO )

    "The Battle On The Midway will be an amazing game with two of the NCAA’s top teams going head to head on the aircraft carrier," commented Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark P. Frissora. "Our Hertz for Heroes program is dedicated to helping veterans and those return home from active military duty. These brave men and women are true heroes and deserve our utmost thanks and appreciation. Like those in the military, San Diego and Syracuse players are dedicated, hardworking and are driven to succeed, all qualities Hertz admires."

    Hertz’s sponsorship of The Battle On The Midway is part of its Hertz for Heroes program, a project initiated last Veteran’s Day by Hertz employees with military backgrounds. In addition to sponsorship of the Battle On The Midway, Hertz is also donating a portion of each car rental reservation booked on Hertz.com from November 11 through November 12, 2012 and a portion of every equipment rental contract opened between November 1 and November 11, 2012 to DAV. Hertz for Heroes has logistical and distribution support from the 8500 member National Defense Transportation Association, (NDTA). Formerly launched in 2011 with the donation of 40,000 free weekend rentals to vets returning home from overseas, Hertz for Heroes was expanded when the Company joined the White House’s Veteran’s Hiring Initiative, Joining Forces, led by the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden. In support of Joining Forces, Hertz launched a military hiring portal, http://hertz.jobs/military that allows veterans and their family members to view and apply for available Hertz jobs across all company divisions. To date, Hertz has hired more than 300 veterans, meeting its commitment to the Joining Forces initiative.

    The Battle On The Midway is set for a 5:00 p.m. PST start and will be televised nationally by FOX Sports Net. The broadcast team for Battle on the Midway will be Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Dick Enberg, five-time NBA champion Steve Kerr and Erin Andrews. The Battle On The Midway is part of a larger Veterans Day weekend series of events in San Diego and has been organized by San Diego-based Syndicus Entertainment, in partnership with a number of San Diego organizations including the San Diego Sports Commission. The Battle kicks off several events centered on the Midway and along the Embarcadero in downtown San Diego.

    PARK RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) (with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "we") reported third quarter 2012 worldwide revenues of $2.5 billion, an increase of 3.4% year-over-year (a 6.4% increase excluding the effects of foreign currency, primarily in Europe). Worldwide car rental revenues for the quarter increased 2.1% year-over-year (a 5.3% increase excluding the effects of foreign currency) to a record $2,152.6 million. Revenues from worldwide equipment rental for the third quarter were $363.0 million, up 12.8% year-over-year (a 14.2% increase excluding the effects of foreign currency), driven by an 18.6% revenue increase in the U.S. and 17.1% in North America.

    Third quarter 2012 adjusted pre-tax income was a record $424.8 million increasing 22.5% over the same period in 2011, and income before income taxes ("pre-tax income"), on a GAAP basis, was $368.9 million, an increase of 24.8% over the third quarter of 2011. Corporate EBITDA(1) for the third quarter of 2012 was a record $607.0 million, an increase of 15.5% from the same period in 2011.

    Third quarter 2012 adjusted net income(1) was a record $280.3 million, versus $223.2 million in the same period of 2011, resulting in adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter of $0.63, compared with $0.51 for the third quarter of 2011. Third quarter 2012 net income attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries’ common stockholders, or "net income," on a GAAP basis, was $242.9 million or a record $0.55 per share on a diluted basis, compared with $206.7 million, or $0.47 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2011.

    Mark P. Frissora, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, " I am especially pleased with our ability to improve the consolidated adjusted operating margin 260 bps in the third quarter despite soft global macro economic conditions. Margin improvement was driven by a 220 bp decline in consolidated adjusted direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, and $145 million of incremental efficiency savings. Additionally, HERC’s 18.6% U.S. revenue growth in the third quarter easily outpaced the competition as we gained momentum in new markets and with new fleet," he noted.

    Corporate cash flow(1) in the quarter, and year to date, improved by $308.2 million and $489.5 million respectively. The year to date improvement was due primarily to higher earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, improved working capital, and reduced interest expense. The Company ended the third quarter of 2012 with total debt of $12.7 billion and net corporate debt(1) of $4.3 billion, compared with total debt of $12.5 billion and net corporate debt of $4.4 billion as of September 30, 2011. Net corporate debt decreased since September 30, 2011 by $183 million, as cash flow was used to fund $238 million in acquisitions and to reduce corporate debt balances.

    WORLDWIDE CAR RENTAL

    Worldwide car rental revenues were a record $2,152.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 2.1% (a 5.3% increase excluding the effects of foreign currency) from the prior year period. The Company achieved record transaction days for the quarter which increased 3.4% over the third quarter of 2011 [6.1% U.S.; (1.8)% International]. U.S. off-airport total revenues for the third quarter increased 4.1% year-over-year, and transaction days increased 6.3% from the prior year period. Worldwide rental rate revenue per transaction day(1) ("RPD") for the quarter decreased 2.6% [(2.8)% U.S.; (2.0)% International] from the prior year period. RPD continues to be impacted by the shift in the mix between airport and off-airport rentals. When adjusted for mix, third quarter U.S. RPD decreased only 2.1%. The Company noted that it managed fleets tighter in the third quarter due to the negative pricing environment. While volume growth was tempered as a result, U.S. fleet efficiency reached an all-time high of 82.8%.

    Growth in off-airport rentals, and specifically growth in replacement rentals, which have longer rental lengths, has a negative impact on RPD. However, it is important to note that off-airport’s profit contribution is growing significantly. There is continued pressure on commercial pricing as well as in the deep value segment, where new competitors are aggressively discounting rentals in an attempt to gain market share. In Europe, improved pricing in commercial rentals is being more than offset by negative pricing for leisure rentals, where demand is softest.

    Worldwide car rental adjusted pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2012 was a record $428.7 million, an increase of $53.4 million from $375.3 million in the prior year period. The result was driven primarily by increased volume, strong cost management performance and lower net depreciation per vehicle, partially offset by a decrease in RPD. As a result, worldwide car rental achieved a record adjusted pre-tax margin(1) of 19.9% for the quarter, versus 17.8% in the prior year period.

    The worldwide average number of Company-operated cars for the third quarter of 2012 was 703,200, an increase of 5.3% over the prior year period, and a 2.2% increase year-over-year excluding the effects of the Donlen acquisition.

    WORLDWIDE EQUIPMENT RENTAL

    Worldwide equipment rental revenues were $363.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, a 12.8% increase (a 14.2% increase excluding the effects of foreign currency) from the prior year period, driven by an 18.6% revenue increase in the U.S. and 17.1% in North America.

    Adjusted pre-tax income for worldwide equipment rental for the third quarter of 2012 was $76.2 million, an improvement of $20.3 million from $55.9 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the effects of increased volume and pricing and cost management initiatives. Worldwide equipment rental achieved an adjusted pre-tax margin of 21.0% and a Corporate EBITDA margin(1) of 45.6% for the quarter.

    The average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the third quarter of 2012 increased by 11.0% year-over-year and net revenue earning equipment as of September 30, 2012 was $2,184.8 million, compared to $2,030.0 million as of June 30, 2012.

    OUTLOOK

    The Company reaffirms its full year 2012 revenues, Corporate EBITDA, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance provided on May 2, 2012. The Company expects to generate worldwide revenues in the range of $8.9 billion to $9.0 billion, Corporate EBITDA in the range of $1.60 billion to $1.66 billion, adjusted pre-tax income in the range of $870 million to $940 million, adjusted net income in the range of $570 million to $620 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.28 to $1.38 (based on 450 million shares).(2)

    RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION

    The Company’s operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), posted the same revenues for the third quarter of 2012 as the Company. Hertz’s third quarter 2012 pre-tax income was $382.1 million versus the Company’s pre-tax income of $368.9 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, corporate 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’ October 31, 2012 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 (34% in 2012 and 2011) 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 September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 201l, 445.5 million, 440.9 million, 447.1 million and 447.3 million, respectively, which represents the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for each 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 Rate Revenue, Rental Rate Revenue Per Transaction Day and Rental Rate Revenue Per Transaction

    Car rental rate revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the U.S. and certain ancillary revenue. Rental rate revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Rental rate revenue per transaction is calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transactions, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effects 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. These statistics are important to management and investors as they represent the best measurements of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompass the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The optional insurance products are packaged within certain negotiated corporate, government and membership programs and within certain retail rates being charged. Based upon these existing programs and rate packages, management believes that these optional insurance products should be consistently included in the daily pricing of car rental transactions. On the other hand, non-rental rate revenue items such as refueling and concession pass-through expense items are driven by factors beyond the control of management (i.e. the price of fuel and the concession fees charged by airports). Additionally, NeverLost units are an optional revenue product which management does not consider to be part of their daily pricing of car rental transactions.

    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. Unlevered Pre-Tax Cash Flow

    Unlevered pre-tax cash flow is calculated as Corporate EBITDA less non-fleet capital expenditures, net of non-fleet disposals, plus changes in working capital (receivables, excluding car rental receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities), cash used for acquisitions, cash used for / provided by other investing activities, cash used / provided by non-debt financing activities and the foreign exchange impact on cash and cash equivalents. Unlevered pre-tax cash flow is important to management and investors as it represents funds available to pay corporate interest and taxes and to grow our fleet or reduce debt.

    10. Levered After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth

    Levered after-tax cash flow before fleet growth is calculated as Unlevered Pre-Tax Cash Flow less corporate net cash interest and corporate cash taxes. Levered after-tax cash flow before fleet growth is important to management and investors as it represents the funds available to grow our fleet or reduce our debt.

    11. Corporate Net Cash Interest (used in the calculation of Levered After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth)

    Corporate net cash interest represents cash paid by the Company during the period for interest expense relating to Corporate Debt. Corporate net cash interest helps management and investors measure the ongoing costs of financing the business exclusive of the costs associated with the fleet financing.

    12. Corporate Cash Taxes (used in the calculation of Levered After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth)

    Corporate cash taxes represents cash paid by the Company during the period for income taxes.

    13. Corporate Cash Flow

    Corporate cash flow is calculated as Levered After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth less equipment rental fleet growth capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds and less the car rental fleet equity requirement. Corporate cash flow is important to management and investors as it represents the cash available for the reduction of corporate debt.

    14. 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.

    15. 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.

    16. Net Fleet Debt

    Net fleet debt is calculated as total fleet debt less restricted cash associated with fleet debt. As of September 30, 2012, fleet debt consists of U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, 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, 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.

    17. 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.

    18. 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.
