ITEM l.    Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31,September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and March 31,September 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and March 31,September 30, 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 27, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1—Background

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or "Hertz Holdings," is our top-level holding company. The Hertz Corporation, or "Hertz," is our primary operating company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Investors, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Hertz Holdings. "We," "us" and "our" mean Hertz Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hertz.

We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Ford Motor Company or "Ford," acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985. Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 and had no operations prior to the Acquisition (as defined below).

On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., which was succeeded by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or "CD&R,"

The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and

BAML Capital Partners, or "BAMLCP" (formerly known as
Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity)Equity, Inc.,

or collectively the "Sponsors,"MLGPE,"

acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of Hertz's common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."

In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the former parent company of BAMLCP.MLGPE. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of our common stock held by BAMLCPthe investment funds associated with MLGPE. We refer to CD&R, Carlyle and certainMLGPE collectively as the "Sponsors." We refer to the acquisition of its affiliates.

In March 2011,all of Hertz's common stock by the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.

As a result of"Acquisition."

After giving effect to our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings, in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009 and March 2011, the Sponsors reduced theirSponsors' holdings torepresent approximately 38% of ourthe outstanding shares of common stock.

stock of Hertz Holdings as of September 30, 2012.

On September 1, 2011, Hertz completed the acquisition of Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services.

On December 31, 2011, Hertz purchased the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C., thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.

On August 26, 2012, Hertz Holdings, HDTMS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings, and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or "Dollar Thrifty," entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the "Merger Agreement," pursuant to which Hertz Holdings would acquire Dollar Thrifty for $87.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without any interest and less any required withholding taxes, in a transaction valued at a corporate enterprise value of approximately $2.3 billion. After taking into account our use of approximately $400 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, we expect to use approximately $345 million of our cash and cash equivalents to consummate the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty and to finance the remaining $1.95 billion through a combination of $750 million in incremental term loans under our Senior Term Facility and $1.2 billion in senior notes which was raised in October 2012. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction has been structured as a two-step acquisition including a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock followed by a cash merger in which Hertz Holdings would acquire any remaining outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock. The transaction is subject to the tender of at least a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock, as well as other customary closing conditions. The successful completion of the transaction is also subject to regulatory clearance by the Federal Trade Commission. Hertz Holdings has also reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., to sell the Advantage Rent A Car business, selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets. The closing of that divestiture is conditioned upon, among other things, Hertz Holdings completing an acquisition of Dollar Thrifty. Hertz Holdings estimates that it would realize a loss before income taxes of approximately $30 million to $35 million as a result of this divestiture. We can offer no assurance that the Merger Agreement will be consummated.

Basis of Presentation

The significant accounting policies summarized in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on February 27, 2012, or the "Form 10-K," have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

our brands and services. Generally franchise fees from franchised locations are based on a percentage of net sales of the franchised business and are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred income when received and are recognized as revenue when all material services and conditions related to the franchise fee have been substantially performed.
Renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the license agreements are effective and collectability is reasonably assured.
Other (income) and expenses, net includes the gains or losses from the sales of our operations or assets to new and existing franchisees. Such gains or losses are included in operating income because they are expected to be a recurring part of our business.
The December 31, 2011 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP."

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. These provisions arebecame effective for us beginning with thisthe quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," which defers the timing of implementing only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment", which states that that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount.

This provision is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company is presently assessing whether to adopt in relation to its annual impairment test scheduled for the fourth quarter.
Note 3—Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

In our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we net cash flows from revolving borrowings in the line item "Proceeds (payments) under the revolving lines of credit, net." The contractual maturities of such borrowings may exceed 90 days in certain cases.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, for our Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $126.5$302.2 million and $213.6$213.6 million, respectively. The decreaseincrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with our fleet debt of $87.1$88.6 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31,September 30, 2012 was primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

Hertz Holdings has reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., providing for the divestiture of its Advantage business, or the "Advantage Divestiture," selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets, contingent on a successful acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.

As of September 30, 2012, the Advantage business was classified as held and used as the sale transaction was not probable and was contingent upon acquisition of Dollar Thrifty as of such date. Hertz's agreement to divest its Advantage business, which if consummated would result in a loss, triggered an interim impairment analysis. The assets were evaluated for impairment under a probability-weighted approach for developing estimates of future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability. The sum of future undiscounted cash flows of the Advantage business exceeds the carrying value as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, no impairment has been recognized at September 30, 2012.

Hertz estimates that the occurrence of the Advantage Divestiture would cause Hertz to realize a loss (before income taxes) in the range of approximately $30 million to $35 million.  This estimated loss associated with the Advantage Divestiture is preliminary and subject to further adjustments. We can offer no assurance that the Merger Agreement will be consummated.
Other Acquisitions

Additionally, during

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, we added ninenineteen domestic equipment rental locations through external acquisitions. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the three-month periodand nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012.

Note 5—Taxes on Income

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 was 34.1%and 2011 was (53.0)% and 18.8%43.1%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income was $19.5of $126.0 million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 compared with a benefit of $30.0increased from $83.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. This wasSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to lower losshigher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot beare not realized.

The provision for taxes on income of $211.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $87.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized.

$0.1 million,, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.

The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, included net gains of $82.9 million and $86.0 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and net gains of $10.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.

Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in a net decreasedecreases of $0.2$59.4 million and $96.7 million in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.

ForSeptember 30, 2012, respectively. During the three monthsthree-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012, and 2011,the depreciation rate changes in certain of our worldwide carequipment rental operations sold approximately 40,000 and 30,600 non-program cars, respectively, a 30.6% year over year increase primarily due to an overall increaseresulted in the number of cars in the fleet, an increase of $0.1 millionin the percentage of non-program cars, and a robust used car market. We believe the positive trending of residual values is primarily due to continued short supply of used vehicle inventory and improving consumer confidence. This, along with an overall strong car sales market (with fewer incentives on new vehicle sales), is expected to keep the demand for nearly new used vehicles on a positive trend for the near term.

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

2012 Events

On January 1, 2012, our Convertible Senior Notes became convertible. This conversion right was triggered because our closing common stock price per share exceeded $10.77$10.77 for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on December 31, 2011. Since this same trigger was met in the firstthird quarter of 2012, the Convertible Senior Notes continue to be convertible through June 30,December 31, 2012, and may be convertible thereafter, if one or more of the conversion conditions specified in the indenture is satisfied during future measurement periods. Our policy has been and continues to be to settle conversions of Convertible Senior Notes using a combination of cash and our common stock, which calls for settling the fixed dollar amount per $1,000$1,000 in principal amount in cash and settling in shares the excess conversion, if any.

In February 2012, Hertz called the remainder of its outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and 7.875% Senior Notes due January 2014 for redemption. Hertz redeemed these notes in full during March 2012.

In February 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $850 million to $900 million. In July 2012 Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to further increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $900 million to $1 billion and to extend the maturity date of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from August 2012 to December 2012.
In March 2012, Hertz issued an additional $250$250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2012 offering were used to redeem all of the outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and together with cash on hand, all of the outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $3.2 million.

$3.2 million.

In March 2012, Hertz amendedcaused its wholly-owned subsidiary HC Limited Partnership to amend the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from March 2012 to May 2012.

See In the second quarter of 2012, the maturity date was extended to June 2013.

In April 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," to pay off the remaining debt outstanding under the U.S. ABS Program Series 2011-2 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes and terminated the facility.
In May 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary HVF to increase the borrowing capacity of its Series 2009-1 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes by $250 million.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2013 to June 2015.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2012 to February 2013.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Seasonal Revolving Credit Facility under the European Revolving Credit Facility to create a commitment period running from June 2012 to November 2012 that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €85.7 million (the equivalent of $110.3 million as of September 30, 2012), subject to borrowing base availability.
In July 2012, Hertz caused its subsidiary, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. to amend the European Securitization to extend the maturity from July 2013 to July 2014.
In August 2012, Hertz obtained commitments to make unsecured bridge loans in an aggregate amount of $1.95 billion, or the “Bridge Commitments,” in connection with the offer to acquire Dollar Thrifty. The proceeds of the bridge loans, if any, would be used to, among other things, finance a portion of the consideration Dollar Thrifty stockholders would receive in connection with the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.

Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of exchange and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in March 2012, Hertz has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz plans to enter into an exchange and registration rights agreements in connection with the release from escrow of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, HDTFS, Inc. Hertz expects to agree to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by the date that is 365 days after the respective date of the exchange and registration rights agreement or failing to complete the exchange offer by the date that is 395 days after the date of the exchange and registration rights agreement, will result in Hertz incurring special interest on such notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where a default has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. We do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts with respect to this registration payment arrangement.
Guarantees and Security

There have been no material changes to the guarantees and security provisions of the debt instruments and credit facilities under which our indebtedness as of March 31,September 30, 2012 has been issued from the terms disclosed in our Form 10-K.

Financial Covenant Compliance

Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."

We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.3$0.3 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,086.5$1,092.3 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, and 2011, we contributed $20.3$14.5 million and $44.8$46.7 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $3.2$0 and $3.2 million and $12.3 million,, respectively, to our United Kingdom, or "U.K.," defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we contributed $16.6 million and $73.7 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $0.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively, to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. The level of 2012 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

We have a defined benefit pension plan in the U.K.

On June 30, 2011, we approved an agreement with the trustees of thatour U.K. defined benefit pension plan to cease all future benefit accruals to existing members and to close the plan to new members. Effective July 1, 2011, we introduced a defined contribution plan with company matching contributions to replace the U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The company matching contributions are generally 100% of the employee contributions, up to 8% of pay, except that former members of the defined benefit pension plan receive an enhanced match for five years. This will result in lower contributions this year into the defined benefit plan, which will be offset by matching contributions to the new defined contribution plan. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a gain of $13.1$13.1 million for the U.K. plan that represented unamortized prior service cost from a 2010 amendment that eliminated discretionary pension increases related to pre-1997 service primarily for inactive employees.

We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants' contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. We also have a key officer postretirement car benefit plan that provides the use of a vehicle from our fleet and insurance for the participants' benefit for retired Senior Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retire at age 58 or above.


The assigned car benefit is available for Table15 years post-retirement or until the participant reaches the age of Contents

We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation

In March 2012, we granted 527,360543,880 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," to certain executives and employees at fair values ranging from $13.65$13.65 to $14.47, $14.47, 747,423 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," at a fair value of $13.65,$13.65, and 1,083,9621,098,591 PSUs (referred to as Price Vesting Units, or "PVUs") at fair values ranging from $10.13$10.13 to $11.26$11.26 under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan." The PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on 2012 and 2013 Corporate EBITDA results. "EBITDA" means consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation (which includes revenue earning equipment lease charges) and amortization and "Corporate EBITDA," represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as described withinprovided in the provisions of the Plan.applicable award agreements. Of the PVUs granted, one half will fully vest after three years if the stock price appreciates 15%, over the grant date price, and one half will fully vest after four years if the stock price appreciates 25%. over the grant date price. Partial attainment of the stock appreciation targets will result in partial vesting. The achievement of the market condition for the PVUs is determined based on the average closing stock price for the 20 trading day period ending March 6, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

In May 2012, we granted 146,301 RSUs at a fair value of $15.48 and in August 2012, we granted 59,480 RSUs at a fair value of $12.12.

A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under our Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Prior Plans," and the Omnibus Plan, including the cost of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, is as follows (in millions of dollars):

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, there was approximately $55.5$44.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted by Hertz Holdings under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.51.4 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Note 10—Segment Information

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment, or "equipment rental." Other reconciling items include general corporate assets and expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as our third party claim management services.activities. Donlen is included in the car rental reportable segment.

Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is the measure utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. We believe this measure best reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus other reconciling items, non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization and write-off 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 our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. The contribution of our reportable segments to revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and the reconciliation to consolidated amounts are summarized below (in millions of dollars).

The increase was primarily related to increases in our car rental and equipment rental segments' revenue earning equipment and receivables, driven by increased volumes, and an increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles, partly offset by a decreases in our cash and cash equivalents, primarily relating to the redemption of our 8.875% Senior Notes and our 7.875% Senior Notes, and fleet receivables, due to the timing of sales of revenue earning equipment.

Note 12—Restructuring

As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we have evaluated our workforce and operations and made adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process reengineering resulting in optimized work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlined our back-office operations and evaluated potential outsourcing opportunities. When we made adjustments to our workforce and operations, we incurred incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increased operating efficiency and reduced costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

During 2007 through 2011, we announced several initiatives to improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions. These initiatives included, but were not limited to, job reductions at our corporate headquarters and back-office operations in the U.S. and Europe. As part of our re-engineering optimization we outsourced selected functions globally. In addition, we streamlined operations and reduced costs by initiating the closure of targeted car rental locations and equipment rental branches throughout the world. The largest of these closures occurred in 2008 which resulted in closures of approximately 250 off-airport locations and 22 branches in our U.S. equipment rental business. These initiatives impacted approximately 8,960 employees.

During the first, quartersecond and third quarters of 2012, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by

employees, 280 employees and 240 employees, respectively.

From January 1, 2007 through March 31,September 30, 2012, we incurred $539.9$557.5 million ($261.5 ($273.5 million for our car rental segment, $225.7$229.5 million for our equipment rental segment and $52.7$54.5 million of other) of restructuring charges.

Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed,developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

In conjunction with the refinanced Series 2009-1 and the Series 2010-2, HVF purchased an interest rate cap for $6.7$6.7 million, with a maximum notional amount equal to the refinanced Series 2009-1 and the Series 2010-2 with a combined

maximum principal amount of $2.1$2.1 billion, a strike rate of 5% and expected maturity date of March 25, 2013. Additionally, Hertz sold a 5% interest rate cap for $6.2$6.2 million, with a matching notional amount and term to the HVF interest rate cap. In March 2012, an additional $250 million of the Series 2009-1 notes was issued, for which HVF and Hertz amended their interest rate cap agreements to increase the maximum notional amounts by $250 million. Also, in December 2010, the Australian Securitization was completed and our Australian operating subsidiary purchased an interest rate cap for $0.5$0.5 million, with a maximum notional amount equal to the Australian Securitization maximum principal amount of A$250 million, a strike rate of 7% and expected maturity date of December 2012. Additionally, Hertz sold a 7% interest rate cap for $0.4$0.4 million with a matching notional amount and term to the Australian operating subsidiary's interest rate cap. The fair values of all interest rate caps were calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. the 1-month LIBOR yield curve and credit default swap spreads). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate caps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

In connection with our acquisition of Donlen, we acquired interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $25.6 million at March 31, 2012, associated with floating rate debt. As of September 30, 2012, these interest rate swaps have expired. These interest rate swaps are used to effectively convert an amount of floating rate debt into fixed rate debt. The fair values of these interest rate swaps were calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. the 1-month LIBOR yield curve). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred (in Selling, general and administrative).

We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. We currently have in place swaps to cover a portion of our fuel price exposure through MayNovember 2013. We presently hedge a portion of our overall unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel purchases with commodity swaps and have contracts in place that settle on a monthly basis. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, our outstanding commodity instruments for unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel totaled approximately 8.27.8 million gallons and 0.61.5 million gallons, respectively. The fair value of these commodity instruments was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e.,(including NYMEX RBOB Gasoline and U.S. Department of Energy surveys, etc.)surveys). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these commodity instruments are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing locally. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to

manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of March 31,September 30, 2012, were approximately $0.2 million.$0.2 million. We limit counterparties to the transactions to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total notional amount of these foreign exchange options was $8.6$45.0 million and $9.1$9.1 million, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, these foreign exchange options mature through April 2013.January 2014. The fair value of the foreign exchange options was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. foreign currency exchange rates). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these options are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, the total notional amount of these forward contracts was $578.8$986.9 million, maturing within four months. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was calculated based on foreign currency forward exchange rates.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

Affiliates of BAMLCPMLGPE (which is one of the Sponsors), including Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Bank of America N.A.,and certain of its affiliates, have provided various investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to us for which they have received customary fees and commissions. In addition, these parties have acted as agents, lenders, purchasers and/or underwriters to us under our respective financing arrangements, for which they have received customary fees, commissions, expenses and/or other compensation. More specifically, these parties have acted in the following capacities, or similar capacities, with respect to our financing arrangements: lenders and/or agents under the Senior Credit Facilities, the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility and certain of the U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes; purchasers and/or underwriters under the Senior Notes and certain of the U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes; and structuring advisors and/or agents under the U.S. ABS Program.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $187$185 million and $174$174 million, respectively, of our outstanding debt was with related parties.

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

Hertz has entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.

Environmental
Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $1.5$1.5 million and $1.5$1.5 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages

for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials therein,there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings. We are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on our balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and costs. At March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $281.0$279.8 million and $281.5$281.5 million, respectively. We believe that our analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that we may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. We note the liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

For a detailed description of certain of our legal proceedings please see Note 11 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

In February 2012, we filed separate motions for partial summary judgment on the Loss Damage Waiver and the Environmental Recovery Fee claims and we filed a motion to decertify the class inDavis Landscape, Ltd. et al. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation.

In March 2012, the federal magistrate entered an order inFun Services of Kansas City, Inc. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation requiring the parties to engage in mediation and report back to her regarding their progress by June 6, 2012.

Aside from the above mentioned, none of the other legal proceedings described in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-K have experienced any material changes.

10-Q.

As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2011 we received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," seeking production of documents related to our proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. SEC staff later took the testimony of a Hertz executive and has indicated that they may or may not take further testimony. We are cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation. We do not expect this investigation to have any effect on a proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty.

In addition to the above mentioned and those described in our Form 10-K or in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission, various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Other than with respect to the aggregate claims for public liability and property damage pending against us, management, based on the advice of legal counsel, does not believe that any of the matters resolved, or pending against us, are material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole.

We have established reserves for matters where we believe that the losses are probable and reasonably estimated. Other than with respect to the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters where we have not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed in our Form 10-K or in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Corporate History

Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Ford Motor Company or "Ford," acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.

On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., which was succeeded by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or "CD&R,"

The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and

BAML Capital Partners, or "BAMLCP" (formerly known as
Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity)Equity, Inc.,

or collectively the "Sponsors,"MLGPE,"

Overview of Our Business

We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing of cars and equipment.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

Car rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated car rental and fleet leasing operations and management services, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage and other products);

Equipment rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated equipment rental operations, including amounts charged to customers for the fueling and delivery of equipment and sale of

    loss damage waivers, as well as revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables); and

Other revenues (primarily relatesrelating to fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and revenues from our third-party claim management services)licensees).


Our expenses primarily consist of:

Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; the cost of new equipment and consumables purchased for resale; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning equipment, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);

Depreciation expense and lease charges relating to revenue earning equipment (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such equipment). Revenue earning equipment includes cars and rental equipment;

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including advertising); and

Interest expense.


Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of cars and equipment or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Car Rental

In the U.S., as of March 31,September 30, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 84%86% as compared to 77%70% as of March 31,September 30, 2011. Internationally, as of March 31,September 30, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 75%65%, compared to 65%61% as of March 31,September 30, 2011. In the U.S., as of December 31, 2011, the percentage of non-program cars was 79% as compared to 72% as of December 31, 2010. Internationally, as of December 31, 2011, the percentage of non-program cars was 75%, compared to 70% as of December 31, 2010.

In recent periods we have decreased the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet. Non-program cars typically have lower acquisition costs and lower depreciation rates than comparable program cars. As a result of decreasing our reliance on program cars, we reduce our risk related to the creditworthiness of the vehicle manufacturers. With fewer program cars in our fleet, we have an increased risk that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value. However, non-program cars allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing, during disposition. Program cars generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. This flexibility will beis reduced as the percentage of non-program cars in our car rental fleet increases. Furthermore, it is expected that the average age of our fleet will increase since the average holding period for non-program vehicles is longer than program vehicles. However, the longer holding period does not necessarily equate to higher costs due to the stringent turnback requirements imposed by vehicle manufacturers for program cars.

ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)


In the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, our monthly per vehicle depreciation costs decreased as compared to the prior year period due to improved residual values in the U.S., a continued move towards a greater proportion of non-program vehicles, mix optimization and improved procurement and remarketing efforts.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $59.4 million and $96.7 million in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 37,100 and 46,000 non-program cars, respectively, a 19.4% year over year decrease. The year over year decrease was primarily due to the stronger than normal car sales market in the third quarter of 2011 resulting from the shortage of new and used vehicles, caused primarily by the events in Japan. In addition, rental demand was stronger compared with the same prior year period, which reduced required defleeting non-program cars sales volume. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 123,000 and 121,700 non-program cars, respectively, a 1.1% year over year increase. This year over year increase was due to strong car sales during the first half of 2012, offset by a decrease in the third quarter for the reasons stated earlier. We believe the positive trending of residual values ishave remained fairly strong primarily due to continued short supply of recent model year used vehicle inventoryvehicles and improving consumer confidence. This, along with an overallaided by strong car sales market (with fewer incentives on new vehicle sales), is expected to keep the demand for nearly new used vehicles on a positive trend for the near term.

sales.

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, we experienced a 9.6%an 8.5% increase in transaction days versus the prior period in the United States while rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," declined by 4.4% compared to3.4%. During the threenine months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, in our European operations, we experienced a 3.2%2.8% decline in transaction days and a 2.8%2.7% decline in RPD when compared to the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2011.

Our U.S. off-airport operations represented $283.8$981.3 million and $262.3$908.9 million of our total car rental revenues in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, we have approximately 2,2452,430 off-airport locations. Our strategy includes selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. Our strategy also includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at a lower RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long-term strategy to generate profitable growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location's replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues and, as a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operations.

On September 1, 2011, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity interest in Donlen, a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services for corporate fleets that, forfleets. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, Donlen had an average of approximately 141,500153,200 and 146,900 vehicles, respectively, under lease and management. Donlen provides Hertz an immediate leadership position in long-term car, truck and equipment leasing and fleet management. Donlen's fleet management programs provide outsourced solutions to reduce fleet operating costs and improve driver productivity. These programs include administration of preventive maintenance, advisory services, and fuel and accident management along with other complementary services. This transaction is part of the overall growth strategy of Hertz to provide the most flexible transportation programs for corporate and general consumers. Additionally, Donlen brings to Hertz a specialized consulting and technology expertise that will enable us to model, measure and manage fleet performance more effectively and efficiently.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, our worldwide car rental operations had a total of approximately 8,6508,800 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand.

the seller in cash, without any interest and less any required withholding taxes, in a transaction valued at a corporate enterprise value of approximately $2.3 billion. After taking into account our use of approximately $400 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, we expect to use approximately $345 million of our cash and cash equivalents to consummate the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty and to finance the remaining $1.95 billion through a combination of $750 million in incremental term loans under our Senior Term Facility and $1.2 billion in senior notes which was raised in October 2012. The boards of directors of both companies have provided those termsunanimously approved the transaction. The transaction has been structured as a two-step acquisition including a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock followed by a cash merger in which Hertz Holdings would acquire any remaining outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock. The transaction is subject to the stafftender of at least a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock, as well as other customary closing conditions. The successful completion of the transaction is also subject to regulatory clearance by the Federal Trade Commission, or "FTC." We are optimisticCommission. Hertz Holdings has also reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., to sell the Advantage Rent A Car business, selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets. The closing of that divestiture is conditioned upon, among other things, Hertz Holdings completing an acquisition of Dollar Thrifty. Hertz Holdings estimates that it would realize a loss before income taxes of approximately $30 million to $35 million as a result of this divestiture will satisfy the FTC staff. In addition, Hertz has made significant progress in negotiating a draft consent order with the FTC staff. We are working with the FTC staff on the next steps toward obtaining a final consent order from the FTC.divestiture. We can offer no assurance that anythe Merger Agreement will be consummated.

as of such date. Hertz's agreement to divest its Advantage business, which if consummated would result in a loss, triggered an interim impairment analysis. The assets were evaluated for impairment under a probability-weighted approach for developing estimates of future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability. The sum of future undiscounted cash flows of the Advantage business exceeds the carrying value as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, no impairment has been recognized at September 30, 2012.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, HERC had a total of approximately 325340 branches in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia.

Seasonality

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third is fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. Revenues related to our fleet leasing and management services are generally not seasonal.

Restructuring

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

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. 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. 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. The following table reconciles our

Car Rental Segment


Revenues from our car rental segment increased 9.8%2.1%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 6.8%,3.4% and refueling fees of $8.3 million and airport concession recovery fees of $4.8$12.0 million. The three months ended March 31, 2012increase also includes $110.4$86.0 million of higher revenues related to Donlen, which was acquired on September 1, 2011. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in worldwide RPD and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $7.6 million.

$65.6 million and a decrease in worldwide RPD.


RPD for worldwide car rental for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 decreased 3.9%2.6% from 2011, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 4.4%2.8% and 2.4%2.0%, respectively.respectively, and a mix shift to the U.S. off-airport RPD decreased by 3.3% anddue to uncertain economic conditions in Europe. U.S. airport RPD decreased 4.6%3.1% and U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 2.2%. U.S. airport RPD was negatively impacted by a mix

shift to longer life, lower RPD rentals (including mix shift towards off-airport and the Advantage brand). International RPD decreased primarily due to a decrease in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment and uncertain economic conditions.


Equipment Rental Segment


Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 12.6%12.8%, primarily due to increases of 9.3%12.5% and 3.7%3.3% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, partiallypartly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0$4.5 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial and improving construction performance. Our acquisition of Cinelease in January 2012 also contributed to the revenue increase. Our pricing metric now reflects our adoption of the American Rental Association methodology.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest


Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $3.7$5.8 million due to Hertz's purchase of the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C. on December 31, 2011, thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.


Net LossIncome Attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholders


The net lossincome attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' common stockholders increased 17.5% primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, disciplined cost management, lower net depreciation per vehicle in our car rental operations, increased pricing in our equipment rental operations and improved residual values on the disposal of certain used equipment, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.

Car Rental Segment

Revenues from our car rental segment increased 5.8%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 5.6%, refueling fees of $25.6 million and airport concession recovery fees of $11.9 million. The increase also includes $312.0 million of higher revenues related to Donlen, which was acquired on September 1, 2011. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $123.3 million and a decrease in worldwide RPD.

RPD for worldwide car rental for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 57.5%3.2% from 2011, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 3.4% and 2.5%, respectively, and a mix shift to the U.S. due to uncertain economic conditions in Europe. U.S. airport RPD decreased 3.3% and U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 3.2%. U.S. airport RPD was negatively impacted by a mix shift to longer life, lower RPD rentals (including mix shift towards off-airport and the Advantage brand). International RPD decreased primarily due to a decrease in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment and uncertain economic conditions.

Equipment Rental Segment

Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 12.2%, primarily due to increases of 11.5% and 3.5% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $12.8 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial and improving construction performance. Our acquisition of Cinelease in January 2012 also contributed to the revenue increase.

Other

Revenues from all other sources decreased $2.9 million, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our third-party claim management services.

Total expenses increased 2.6%, but total expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 96.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 92.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Direct Operating Expenses

Car Rental Segment

Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $2,979.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 0.9% from $2,953.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of increases in personnel related expenses and other direct operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in fleet related expenses.

Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment of $942.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $22.8 million, or 2.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to increases in salaries and related expenses associated with improved volume and compensation for employees at additional off-airport locations in 2012 and higher incentives as well as an increase related to Donlen, which was acquired in September 2011, partially offset by decreases in outside services and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $17.1 million.

Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,355.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $31.4 million, or 2.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to increases in facilities expenses of $19.7 million, commissions of $14.4 million, concession fees of $11.6 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $8.5 million and field systems of $6.0 million, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $32.0 million. The increases were primarily a result of improved worldwide rental volume demand and additional locations associated with off-airport expansion.

Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment of $680.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $28.6 million, or 4.0% from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower vehicle damage costs of $26.6 million due to higher collections from customers on damaged or wrecked vehicles, the effects of foreign currency translation of $23.5 million and lower vehicle license taxes of $3.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in gasoline costs of $17.3 million.

Equipment Rental Segment

Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $570.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 2.8% from $554.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of increases in personnel related expenses and fleet related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in other direct operating expenses.

Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $181.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $12.5 million, or 7.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $9.0 million, due to increased volumes and new branch openings. Additionally, Cinelease added to the increase of personnel related expenses.

Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $157.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $11.6 million, or 7.9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to increased rental volume resulting in increased freight and delivery costs of $5.3 million, increased insurance, license and tax expenses of $2.5 million and higher maintenance costs of $2.3 million. Additionally, Cinelease added to the increase of fleet related expenses.

Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $231.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $8.6 million, or 3.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges of $24.4 million resulting from the closure of several facilities in the first half of the prior year, partly offset by $9.9 million of other direct operating expenses associated with Cinelease, which was acquired in January 2012, and higher cost of sales of $3.9 million due to higher equipment sales and increased re-rent expenses of $3.0 million driven by an

increased rental demand.

Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges

Car Rental Segment

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $1,396.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 17.8% from $1,185.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a higher depreciation expense of $253.7 million related to the acquisition of Donlen in September 2011, as well as an increase in our average fleet size of 4.2% (exclusive of vehicles acquired through the Donlen acquisition), partly offset by lower net depreciation per vehicle, higher vehicle residual values, a higher mix of non-program cars and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $28.9 million.

Equipment Rental Segment

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $198.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 2.3% from $193.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an 8.1% increase in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period, partly offset by higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment and by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.6 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $39.9 million, or 6.9%, due to increases in administrative expenses, sales promotion expenses and advertising expenses.

Administrative expenses increased $34.7 million, or 10.0%. The increase was primarily due to $17.3 million of higher administrative expenses related to Donlen which was acquired in September 2011. Additionally, salaries and related expenses increased $12.5 million, legal expenses increased $10.0 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges increased by $5.6 million. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $12.8 million.

Sales promotion expenses increased $3.8 million, or 3.5%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.3 million.

Advertising expenses increased $1.4 million, or 1.2%, primarily due to increased media advertising, higher airline miles expense associated with increased volume, and costs related to our new customer loyalty program, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.9 million.

Interest Expense

Car Rental Segment

Interest expense for our car rental segment of $240.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 2.2% from $245.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the effects of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the acquisition of Donlen and an increase in the weighted-average debt outstanding.

Equipment Rental Segment

Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $37.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 9.0% from $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases in the weighted-average debt outstanding as a result of an increase in average fleet size and in the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility interest rates.

Other

Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $192.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 23.9% from $252.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to larger write-offs last year of unamortized debt costs in connection with refinancing activity, lower rates achieved with the refinancing of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, and a decrease in the weighted-average debt outstanding and interest rates.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $2.4 million from the prior year period.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, reflected income of $10.5 million and expense of $62.7 million, respectively. The increase in 2012 was principally due to a gain of $9.1 million from the sale of the business in Switzerland to a franchisee during the third quarter. The expense in 2011 was primarily due to $62.4 million in premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes.

ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Car Rental Segment

Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $797.8 million increased 17.5% from $678.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes, lower net depreciation per vehicle, improved residual values and disciplined cost management, partly offset by decreased pricing. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $97.0 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $42.5 million, non-cash debt charges of $32.0 million, and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $22.6 million, partly offset by a gain on derivatives of $0.1 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $53.7 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $31.9 million, purchase accounting of $24.6 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $9.7 million and derivative losses of $0.6 million, partly offset by pension adjustments of $13.1 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

Equipment Rental Segment

Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $144.6 million increased 45.3% from $99.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing, strong cost management performance and higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $43.5 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $31.4 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $8.4 million, and non-cash debt charges of $3.7 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $75.3 million (which consists of restructuring and restructuring related charges of $35.8 million, purchase accounting of $35.0 million, and non-cash debt charges of $4.5 million).

Provision for Taxes on Income

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 43.1% as compared to 37.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The provision for taxes on income increased $123.4 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $14.5 million due to Hertz's purchase of the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C. on December 31, 2011, thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.

Net Income Attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholders

The net income attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' common stockholders increased 116.4% primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, improved residual values on the disposal of certain vehicles and used equipment, lower net depreciation per vehicle in our car rental operations, disciplined cost management and increased pricing in our equipment rental operations, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our domestic and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the United States and internationally.

We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

In February 2012, Hertz called the remainder of its outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and 7.875% Senior Notes due January 2014 for redemption. Hertz redeemed these notes in full induring March 2012.

In February 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $850 million to $900 million. In July 2012 Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to further increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $900 million to $1 billion and to extend the maturity date of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from August 2012 to December 2012. In October 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to extend the maturity date of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from December 2012 to December 2013.
In March 2012, Hertz issued an additional $250$250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2012 offering were used to redeem all of itthe outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and together with cash on hand, all of itsthe outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $3.2 million.

$3.2 million.

In March 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary HC Limited Partnership to amend the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from March 2012 to May 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the maturity date was extended to June 2013.
In April 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," to pay off the remaining debt outstanding under the U.S. ABS Program Series 2011-2 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes and terminated the facility.
In May 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary HVF to increase the borrowing capacity of its Series 2009-1 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes by $250 million.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2013 to June 2015.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2012 to February 2013.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Seasonal Revolving Credit Facility under the European Revolving Credit Facility to create a commitment period running from June 2012 to November 2012 that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €85.7 million (the equivalent of $110.3 million as of September 30, 2012), subject to borrowing base availability.
In July 2012, Hertz caused its subsidiary, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. to amend the European Securitization to extend the maturity from July 2013 to July 2014.
In August 2012, Hertz obtained commitments to make unsecured bridge loans in an aggregate amount of $1.95 billion, or the “Bridge Commitments,” in connection with the offer to acquire Dollar Thrifty. The proceeds of the bridge loans, if any, would be used to, among other things, finance a portion of the consideration Dollar Thrifty stockholders would receive in connection with the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.
For subsequent events relating to our indebtedness, see Note 17 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Registration Rights and Indentures for the Senior Notes
Pursuant to the terms of exchange and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in March 2012, Hertz has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz plans to enter into an exchange and registration rights agreements in connection with the release from escrow of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, HDTFS, Inc. Hertz expects to agree to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by the date that is 365 days after the respective date of the exchange and registration rights agreement or failing to complete the exchange offer by the date that is 395 days after the date of the exchange and registration rights agreement, will result in Hertz incurring special interest on such notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any

period where a default has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. We do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts with respect to this registration payment arrangement.
Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility. The guarantees of all of the subsidiary guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee our Senior Credit Facilities in the United States.

The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay

certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.

Other Financing Risks
A significant number of cars that we purchase are subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, car manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. We use book values derived from this specified price or guaranteed depreciation rate to calculate financing capacity under certain asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.

In the event of a bankruptcy of a car manufacturer, our liquidity would be impacted by several factors including reductions in fleet residual values and the risk that we would be unable to collect outstanding receivables due to us from such bankrupt manufacturer. In addition, the program cars manufactured by any such company would need to be removed from our financing facilities or re-designated as non-program vehicles, which would require us to furnish additional credit enhancement associated with these program vehicles. For a discussion of the risks associated with a manufacturer's bankruptcy or our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing, see "Item 1A—Risk Factors" included in our Form 10-K.

We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleet. The amount of financing available to us pursuant to these programs depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including recently adopted legislation, proposed SEC rules and regulations and other legislative and administrative developments. In this regard, there has been uncertainty regarding the potential impact of recently proposed SEC rules and regulations governing the issuance of asset-backed securities and additional requirements contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. While we will continue to monitor these developments and their impact on our ABS program, the SEC rules and regulations, once adopted and implemented, may impact our ability and/or desire to engage in asset-backed financings in the future. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs and our indebtedness, see Note 4 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For a discussion of the risks associated with our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing and the significant amount of indebtedness, see "Item 1A—Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K.

For further information on our indebtedness, see Note 7 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Covenants

Certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.

credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

In addition to borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities, we have a significant amount of additional debt outstanding. For further information on the terms of our Senior Credit Facilities as well as our significant amount of other debt outstanding, see Note 7 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 4 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."


Table of Contents

ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
                 Operations (Continued)

We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.3$0.3 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,086.5$1,092.3 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases

As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $383.0$658.5 million and $456.3$456.3 million, respectively, and total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $382.5$658.0 million and $455.8$455.8 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

Hertz has entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing

                 Operations (Continued)

arrangements or securities offerings. We also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.

Environmental
Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $1.5$1.5 million and $1.5$1.5 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials therein,there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Risk Management

For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see "Item 1—Business—Risk Management" in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations (Continued)

Market Risks

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in gasoline prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. For more information on these exposures, see Note 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and/or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk. See Notes 7 and 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Notes 4 and 13 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
                 Operations (Continued)

We have a significant amount of debt with variable rates of interest based generally on LIBOR, Euro inter-bank offered rate, or "EURIBOR," or their equivalents for local currencies or bank conduit commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt.

We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio as of March 31,September 30, 2012, our net lossincome would increasedecrease by an estimated $29.5$32.3 million over a twelve-month period.

Consistent with the terms of the agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the various debt facilities to provide protection in respect of such exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound.

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing locally. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, our consolidated statement of operations contained realized and unrealized losses relating to the effects of foreign currency of $4.4 million.

$3.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated statement of operations contained realized and unrealized losses relating to the effects of foreign currency of $9.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

See Note 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Other Risks

We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. For the three monthsthree-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012, we recognized a gainlosses of $1.8$2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in "Direct operating" on our consolidated statement of operations relating to our gasoline swaps. See Note 13 to the

Inflation

The increased cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs and gasoline. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.

Income Taxes

In January 2006, we implemented a LKE Program for our U.S. car rental business. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred "like-kind exchanges" pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and part of 2010.2010 and 2012. A LKE Program for HERC has also been in place for several years. The program allows tax deferral if a qualified replacement asset is acquired within a specific time period after asset disposal. Accordingly, if a qualified replacement asset is not purchased within this limited time period, taxable gain is recognized. Over the last few years, for strategic purposes, such as cash management and fleet reduction, we have recognized some taxable gains in the program. In 2009, the bankruptcy filing of an original equipment manufacturer, or "OEM," also resulted in minimal gain recognition. We had sufficient net operating losses to fully offset the taxable gains recognized. We cannot offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will continue or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. An extended reduction in our car rental fleet could result in reduced deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for federal and state income tax liabilities. Our inability to obtain replacement financing as our fleet financing facilities mature would likely result in an extended reduction in the fleet. In the event of an extended fleet reduction, we believe the likelihood of making material cash tax payments in the near future is low because of our significant net operating losses. In August 2010, we elected to temporarily suspend the U.S. car rental LKE Program allowing cash proceeds from sales of vehicles to be utilized for various business purposes, including paying down existing debt obligations, future growth initiatives and for general operating purposes. From August 2010 through 2011, recognized tax gains on vehicle dispositions resulting from the LKE suspension were more than offset by 100% tax depreciation on newly acquired vehicles. During 2012 the allowable 50% bonus depreciation is allowed, which will continue to support suspensionhelped offset tax gains during the period of theLKE suspension. The U.S. car rental LKE Program through 2012 without adverse implications. Our federal net operating loss position for U.S. tax purposes will not be adversely effected when the LKE Program is re-instated. The timing of reinstating the LKE Program is under continued analysis.

was reinstated on October 15, 2012.

On January 1, 2009, Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the parent company of BAMLCP.MLGPE. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of ourHertz Holdings' common stock held by BAMLCPMLGPE and certain of its affiliates. For U.S. income tax purposes the transaction, when combined with other unrelated transactions during the previous 36 months, resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, utilization of all pre-2009 U.S. net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation. The limitation is not expected to result in a loss of net operating losses or have a material adverse impact on taxes.

Employee Retirement Benefits

Pension

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Our 2012 worldwide pre-tax pension expense is expected to be approximately $34.5$31.4 million, which would represent an increase of $13.2$10.1 million from 2011. The anticipated increase in expense compared to 2011 is primarily due to lower expected rates of return in 2012, lower discount rates at the end of 2011 compared to 2010 and a curtailment gain in the U.K. recorded in 2011.

We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing

employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. These provisions arebecame effective for us beginning with thisthe quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," which defers the timing of implementing only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment", which states that that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount.
This provision is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company is presently assessing whether to adopt in relation to its annual impairment test scheduled for the fourth quarter.
Other Financial Information

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. as of March 31,September 30, 2012 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for reviews of such unaudited interim financial information. However, their separate report dated May 4,November 2, 2012 included in this Form 10-Q herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on such unaudited interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on such unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a "report" or "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.


ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There is no material change in the information reported under "Part II, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. See "Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Risks," included in this Report.

ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the "Exchange Act," is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to determine whether any changes have occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of certain pending legal proceedings, see Note 11 to the Notes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K.

The following recent developments pertaining to

There were no material changes in the legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K are furnished on a supplemental basis:

In February 2012, we filed separate motions for partial summary judgment on the Loss Damage Waiver and the Environmental Recovery Fee claims and we filed a motion to decertify the class inDavis Landscape, Ltd. et al. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation.

In March 2012, the federal magistrate entered an order inFun Services of Kansas City, Inc. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation requiring the parties to engage in mediation and report back to her regarding their progress by June 6, 2012.

Aside from the above mentioned, none of the other legal proceedings described in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-K have experienced any material changes.

10-Q.

As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2011 we received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," seeking production of documents related to our proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. SEC staff later took the testimony of a Hertz executive and has indicated that they may or may not take further testimony. We are cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation. We do not expect this investigation to have any effect on a proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

There is no material change in the information reported under "Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 with the exception of the following:

Our substantial level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and "Part II,ability to compete in our industry.
As of September 30, 2012, we had debt outstanding of $12,720.9 million. We also expect to incur an additional $1.95 billion in indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, or the “Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.” As of June 30, 2012, Dollar Thrifty's indebtedness was approximately $1.56 billion, which we expect to assume in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition. Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect us. For example, it could: (i) make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt securities and to the lenders under our various credit facilities, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration of, such indebtedness; (ii) be difficult to refinance or borrow additional funds in the future; (iii) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and investing activities to make payments on our debt, which would reduce our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes; (iv) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions (such as credit‑related disruptions); including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings are at floating rates of interest and are not hedged against rising interest rates, and the risk that one or more of the financial institutions providing commitments under our revolving credit facilities fails to fund an extension of credit under any such facility, due to insolvency or otherwise, leaving us with less liquidity than expected; (v) place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates or on better terms; and (vi) limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve operating margins. While the terms of the agreements and instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain certain restrictions upon our ability to incur additional indebtedness, they do not fully prohibit us from incurring substantial additional indebtedness and do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt or other obligations are added to our current liability levels without a corresponding refinancing or redemption of our existing indebtedness and obligations, these risks would increase. For a description of the amounts we have available under certain of our debt facilities, see “Item 7-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Credit Facilities” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and “Note 7-Debt” to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Our ability to manage these risks depends on financial market conditions as well as our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to a wide range of risks, including those described under “-Risks Related to Our Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
If our capital resources (including borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to other refinancing indebtedness) and operating cash flows are not sufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to do, among other things, one or more of the following: (i) sell certain of our assets; (ii) reduce the size of our rental fleet; (iii) reduce the percentage of program cars in our rental fleet; (iv) reduce or delay capital

63


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

expenditures; (v) obtain additional equity capital; (vi) forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions and joint ventures; or (vii) restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity.
We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will maintain financing activities and cash flows sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If we cannot refinance or otherwise pay our obligations as they mature and fund our liquidity needs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and ability to compete in our industry could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to Acquisition of Dollar Thrifty
Following the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, in addition to the risks described above and the risks described in Item 1A—Risk Factors."

1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with Dollar Thrifty's business. See "Item 1A-Risk Factors" in the Dollar Thrifty Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for a discussion of these risks. This item is not incorporated by reference into this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and you should not consider the contents of this item to be a part of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.
Hertz Holdings entered into a Merger Agreement with Dollar Thrifty, or the “Merger Agreement,” because we believe that the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition will be beneficial to us and Hertz Holdings' stockholders. To realize these anticipated benefits, after the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we expect to achieve significant cost savings as we integrate our respective businesses. However, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty and there is no assurance that we will be able to integrate the operations of Dollar Thrifty without encountering unexpected difficulties, including unanticipated costs, difficulty in retaining customers, challenges associated with information technology integration and failure to retain key employees. We may also incur substantial delays or costs in connection with the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, including with respect to any legal proceedings instituted against us or Dollar Thrifty as a result of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Class action lawsuits were filed seeking to block consummation of the 2010 proposed merger between Hertz Holdings and Dollar Thrifty. One of those lawsuits is still pending; however, the remaining lead plaintiff has moved for dismissal. Similar lawsuits may be filed with respect to the currently proposed Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Additionally, as a condition to their approval of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, regulatory agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company's business. Any or all of the preceding could materially adversely affect the synergies and other benefits that we expect to achieve in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition or increase the cost or time to complete the integration of Dollar Thrifty's business into our own, which could jeopardize our ability to obtain the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Combining the businesses of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect our results following the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.
Hertz Holdings and Dollar Thrifty have entered into the Merger Agreement because they believe that the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition will be beneficial to their respective companies and stockholders. The success of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the businesses of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty. To realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, we must successfully combine the businesses of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty in an efficient and effective manner. In addition, we must obtain amendments or waivers to certain of Dollar Thrifty's debt agreements to permit us to use Dollar Thrifty's rental vehicles in order to maximize our sharing of Dollar Thrifty's fleet. Also, Dollar Thrifty must obtain the consent of certain of its counterparties from some of the Dollar Thrifty contracts that have provisions that require Dollar Thrifty to obtain the consent of Dollar Thrifty's counterparty in connection with the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition or give Dollar Thrifty's counterparty the right to terminate the contract in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. If we and Dollar Thrifty are not able to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
Hertz and Dollar Thrifty have operated and, until completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely

64


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees, suppliers and franchisees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.
Specifically, issues that must be addressed in integrating the operations of Dollar Thrifty into our operations in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition include, among other things:
integrating and optimizing the utilization of the rental vehicle fleets and related financing of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty;
integrating the marketing, promotion, reservation and information technology systems of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty;
conforming standards, controls, procedures and policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the companies;
consolidating the automotive purchasing, maintenance and resale operations;
consolidating corporate and administrative functions;
consolidating sales and marketing operations; and
identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming operations and assets.
Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of Hertz after the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Our ability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition will also be subject to its contractual obligations to Dollar Thrifty with respect to Dollar Thrifty's employees following the consummation of the Tender Offer.
In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized. Actual synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than what we expect and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If we are not able to adequately address these challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate Dollar Thrifty's operations into its own, or to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of the two companies.
Because Dollar Thrifty will become a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Hertz upon completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, certain existing indebtedness of Dollar Thrifty and its subsidiaries, if not refinanced, amended or repaid, may decrease our business flexibility, reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness, affect our existing debt covenants, increase our borrowing costs or result in repayment or collateralization obligations.
Certain of Dollar Thrifty's existing indebtedness is expected to be outstanding upon completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, including most of Dollar Thrifty's existing fleet financing. As of June 30, 2012, Dollar Thrifty's indebtedness was approximately $1.56 billion. The agreements governing Dollar Thrifty's indebtedness differ from those governing our indebtedness and in certain respects could require waivers, amendments or refinancing of the Dollar Thrifty indebtedness. In addition, certain existing or future fleet financing facilities of Dollar Thrifty's securitization subsidiaries contain or may contain at closing change in control and other provisions that could result in the commencement of rapid amortization periods under such agreements after or upon consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Also, in connection with any termination of Dollar Thrifty's senior secured credit facility, we will need to make other arrangements with respect to related outstanding letters of credit and hedging agreements. Although we and Dollar Thrifty will try to resolve any such conflicts prior to closing, there can be no assurance that such conflicts will be resolved by that time or at the anticipated cost or that any refinancing may be obtained on favorable terms. In addition, the failure to effect any such refinancing, if required, on favorable terms may, among other things, have the effect of reducing our liquidity or operational flexibility and have a material adverse effect on the combined company including the ability to obtain further financing, take advantage of certain growth opportunities and respond to comparatively better financed competitors. See “Risks Factors-Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to compete in our industry.”
Satisfying the conditions under Dollar Thrifty's existing fleet financing arrangements to permit the sharing of rental vehicles and achieve optimal business sharing synergies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.
Some of the potential synergies from the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition that we have identified are expected to come from the sharing of rental vehicles. However, to permit such fleet sharing, certain conditions precedent specified under Dollar

65


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Thrifty's existing fleet financing would need to be satisfied. Such conditions include, among other things, obtaining certain confirmations from each of the rating agencies rating each series of rental car asset backed medium term notes, as well as Dollar Thrifty's conduit fleet financing. Although Dollar Thrifty has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with us in satisfying these conditions, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied on the desired terms and timing, or at all. If some or all of these conditions are not satisfied in a timely fashion or at all, then some of these synergies and the anticipated benefit of these synergies to the combined company will be diminished or unavailable.
If Hertz Holdings is unable to complete the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, then our expected financial results could be adversely affected.
Consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition is subject to the tender of at least a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock, as well as other customary closing conditions. The successful completion of the transaction is also subject to regulatory clearance by the Federal Trade Commission. If any condition to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition is not satisfied or waived, the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition will not be completed. Hertz Holdings and Dollar Thrifty also may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances. To the extent the transaction is not completed for any reason, we would have devoted substantial resources and management attention to the transaction without realizing the accompanying benefits expected by our management, and our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In order to obtain the regulatory approvals required to complete the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we and Dollar Thrifty may be required to comply with material restrictions or conditions that may negatively affect the combined company after the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition is completed.
Completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition is conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental approvals, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
The governmental authorities from which the requisite governmental approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition or require changes to the terms of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, consistent with the companies' exercise of reasonable best efforts to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, Hertz Holdings is required to take any and all actions required pursuant to the proposed consent agreement currently under discussion between Hertz Holdings and the staff of the United States Federal Trade Commission; provided that each such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the merger. The proposed consent agreement would require Hertz Holdings to, among other actions, take steps to divest its Advantage business, selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets, contingent on a successful completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Hertz Holdings has reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., providing for such contingent divestitures. There is no guarantee that regulatory authorities will not impose additional conditions to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, such as divestiture of additional assets. If Hertz Holdings becomes subject to any additional material conditions in order to obtain any approvals required to complete the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the business and results of operations of the combined company could be adversely affected, or the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition may not be completed.
