ESTERO, Fla, November 4, 2025 – Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) (“Hertz,” “Hertz Global,” or the “Company”) today reported results for its third quarter 2025.
Q3 HIGHLIGHTS
The Company completed its transformative fleet refresh, setting a new standard for the lifecycle of its vehicles.
Revenue hit $2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2025, and execution of its Back-to-Basics strategy delivered $184 million of net income and $0.42 of diluted EPS for the Company—both positive for the first time in two years.
Adjusted Corporate EBITDA surged about $350 million year-over-year in the third quarter to $190 million, reflecting the Company’s disciplined operational execution and improved fleet economics.
Utilization reached more than 84%, the highest since 2018, driven by improved processes that reduce out of service time of vehicles. This further advances the Company’s progress toward its North Star target of RPU over $1,500.
The Company drove a nearly 50% year-over-year increase in its North America Net Promoter Score in the third quarter, reflecting a relentless focus on the customer experience with measurable gains in rental ease and vehicle quality confidence.
The Company ended the quarter with over $2.2 billion in liquidity, underscoring disciplined balance sheet management, positive Adjusted free cash flow of about $250 million, and robust ABS market access.
The Company’s “Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right” fleet strategy continued to yield strong results:
- The Company strategically monetized its fleet through expanded retail vehicle sales, including its direct-to-consumer Hertz Car Sales platform. The percentage of fleet sold via retail channels increased by 570 basis points in 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024
- Depreciation per unit per month (DPU) was $273, aligning with Company guidance and its North Star target of sub-$300
- The Company has successfully secured procurement for Model Year 2026 vehicles and anticipates maintaining sub-$300 DPU throughout 2026
Direct operating expenses (DOE) declined 1% year-over-year in the third quarter, while DOE per transaction day improved both sequentially and year-over-year, despite reduced capacity, through rigorous cost control and operational discipline.
