ESTERO, Fla, August 10, 2015 - Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) ("Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported net income of $23 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2015, compared with net income of $72 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period last year. The Company also reported that adjusted net income for the second quarter 2015 was $88 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $132 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Total revenues for the second quarter 2015 were $2.7 billion versus $2.8 billion for the same period last year. Corporate EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was $379 million versus $446 million in the second quarter of 2014.
"The second quarter demonstrates early progress in our efforts to drive performance improvement," said John Tague, chief executive officer. "Margins in our U.S. Rental Car business were stable year-over-year, and Total Revenue Per Transaction Day, excluding ancillary fuel, returned to prior-year levels.
"Importantly, our customer satisfaction scores rose substantially during the quarter, and I want to thank our employees for the work they continue to do to take excellent care of our customers. With a substantially improved fleet overall, our employees are positioned to continue providing exceptional customer service.”
KEY MILESTONES IN THE SECOND QUARTER LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR
SECOND HALF 2015 IMPROVEMENT
During the second quarter of 2015, Hertz Global achieved several key milestones that position the Company well for the second half of the year:
| |
• | During the quarter, Hertz Global continued to right-size U.S. Car Rental capacity and ended the period with fleet aligned with demand as evidenced by early indications of third-quarter, fleet-efficiency metrics. |
| |
• | Excluding ancillary fuel sales, U.S. Car Rental Total Revenue Per Transaction Day (RPD) was flat year-over-year. |
| |
• | Hertz Global continued implementation of its fleet renewal strategy across all of its brands. During the quarter, the Company added approximately 125,000 new vehicles and disposed of approximately 120,000 risk and repurchase vehicles. As of the end of the second quarter, the U.S. Car Rental fleet has been significantly renewed since September 2014. |
| |
• | While executing on the fleet refresh, U.S. Car Rental net depreciation per unit per month was flat year-over-year, reflecting an enhanced focus on fleet management and execution. This was accomplished while also increasing the mix of program cars by 13 percentage points to 29% of total average fleet. |
| |
• | Excluding effects of foreign currency rates, International Car Rental revenues increased 4% during the second quarter of 2015. Excluding special charges pertaining to a litigation matter and other related one-time charges, earnings were essentially flat year-over-year. |
| |
• | Hertz Equipment Rental (HERC) total revenue was down 2% for the second quarter. Excluding negative foreign currency impact, revenues were up 1% versus prior year. Excluding negative foreign currency impact and the effect of lower sales in upstream oil and gas markets, HERC revenues were up 6% in the second quarter. |
| |
• | Hertz Global continues to make significant progress in reducing its costs by $300 million annually in 2016, $200 million of which is expected to be realized in 2015. In the first half of the year, the Company realized approximately $80 million in cost savings. |

Total U.S. Car Rental revenues were $1,615 million in the second quarter of 2015, down 3% from the second quarter of 2014 as a result of a 2% overall decline in transaction days. This decline was attributable to a decrease in airport rental volume, as well as a decrease in off-airport rental volume due in part to the closure of approximately 200 stores. Total RPD declined 1% driven predominantly by lower fuel-related ancillary revenue. Excluding the impact of ancillary fuel sales, U.S. Car Rental Total RPD was flat for the quarter compared to the same period last year. The revenue reduction experienced during the quarter was partially offset by a 5% reduction in direct operating expense versus the same period last year. Net depreciation expense increased 2% versus last year, due primarily to a larger fleet, while net depreciation per unit per month remained flat year-over-year.
U.S. Car Rental adjusted pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2015 was $174 million, a decrease of $10 million versus the prior year period. U.S. Car Rental achieved an adjusted pre-tax margin of 11% for the quarter, which was 29 basis points lower than the prior-year period. Corporate EBITDA for the U.S. Car Rental segment for the second quarter of 2015 was $203 million versus $221 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Total International Car Rental revenues were $556 million in the second quarter of 2015, down 13% from the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the unfavorable year-over-year impact of foreign currency, which reduced revenues by $105 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues increased $20 million, or 4%. Revenue growth was driven by a 4% increase in transaction days resulting from improved business mix from U.S.-source rentals, primarily in our Europe market. Revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were negatively impacted by lower fuel revenues as a result of lower market prices and a change in fuel purchase plans sold in the Europe market that took effect late in the second quarter of 2014. Total RPD for the segment remained flat year-over-year, excluding currency effects.
International Car Rental adjusted pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2015 was $45 million, a decrease of $12 million versus the prior year period, of which $11 million was the result of legal reserve and other related one-time write-offs. Corporate EBITDA for the International Car Rental segment for the second quarter of 2015 was $54 million versus $68 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Total Worldwide Equipment Rental revenues were $375 million for the second quarter of 2015, down 2% compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenue increased $3 million, or 1%. Revenue was negatively affected by accelerating weakness in upstream oil and gas markets during the quarter. Excluding both foreign currency and the impact of weakness in upstream oil and gas energy markets, revenue was up 6%.
Worldwide revenues for the second quarter were favorably impacted by a 2% increase in worldwide equipment rental volumes. The increase in volume was driven by new account growth, which is predominantly derived from small local contractors and specialty segments as we diversify our business. Pricing for the second quarter was up 1% year-over-year.
Worldwide Equipment Rental adjusted pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2015 was $42 million, a decrease of $25 million from $67 million in the prior year period. Corporate EBITDA for the Worldwide Equipment Rental segment for the second quarter of 2015 was $147 million versus $166 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Corporate EBITDA for the All Other Operations segment for the second quarter of 2015 was $15 million versus $14 million in the prior-year period.
HERTZ GLOBAL REAFFIRMS $1 BILLION SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND HERTZ EQUIPMENT RENTAL CORPORATION SEPARATION
Hertz Global reaffirmed its commitment to its previously announced $1 billion share repurchase program and outlined its intent to execute consistent with announced year-end 2016 leverage targets, cash flow generation and other actions such as the contemplated sale of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation ("HERC") operations in France and Spain, and the ultimate spin-off of HERC.
As previously communicated, Hertz Global remains committed to the separation of its equipment rental business. It is anticipated that the net cash received in connection with the HERC separation will be used to pay down Hertz Global debt and support additional share repurchases. The Company has put in place new leadership team at HERC that is focused on delivering performance improvement in the core business and enabling profitable growth.
PROGRESS CONTINUES ON COST REDUCTION PROGRAM
Hertz Global recently reaffirmed and increased its annualized cost savings goal to $300 million, with approximately $200 million being realized in calendar year 2015. Through the first six months of 2015, the Company has realized approximately $80 million of the intended cost savings. The identified cost savings are expected to come largely from reductions in corporate and operations overhead, fleet management efficiency, and disciplined sales and marketing spending. Hertz Global expects to incur $30 million to $35 million of costs in 2015 in connection with these actions, of which $5 million to $10 million will be reflected in adjusted pre-tax income in 2015.
Hertz Global's cost and operations review is ongoing, with the potential for additional savings as a result of technology-enabled efficiencies, as well as other opportunities to improve productivity and effectiveness across the Company.

RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION
Hertz Global's operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation, posted the same revenues and GAAP pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2015 as the Company.
(1) Adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted pre-tax margin, Corporate EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, total revenue per transaction day and net depreciation per unit per month are non-GAAP measures. See the accompanying Supplemental Schedules and Definitions for the reconciliations and definitions for each of these non-GAAP measures and the reason the Company's management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors.
(2) Because of the forward-looking nature of the Company's Corporate EBITDA forecast, specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile a pre-tax income forecast are not available. The Company believes that there is a degree of volatility with respect to certain of the Company's GAAP measures, primarily related to fair value accounting for its financial assets (which includes the Company's derivative financial instruments), its income tax reporting and certain adjustments made to arrive at the relevant non-GAAP measures, which preclude the Company from providing accurate forecast of GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. Based on the above, the Company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the non-GAAP Corporate EBITDA would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income before income taxes plus certain non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related 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 the operational performance of the Company on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted pre-tax margin is adjusted pre-tax income divided by total revenues.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is calculated as adjusted pre-tax income less a provision for income taxes derived utilizing a normalized income tax rate of 37%. The normalized income tax rate is management's estimate of our long-term tax rate. Adjusted net income is important to management and investors because it represents our operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting, debt-related charges, one-time charges and items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period, Adjusted diluted earnings per share is important to management and investors because it represents a measure of our operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, debt-related charges, one-time charges and items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.
Average Fleet
Average Fleet is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period.
Corporate Restricted Cash (used in the calculation of Net Corporate Debt)
Total restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Total restricted cash and equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, our like-kind exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. Corporate restricted cash is calculated as total restricted cash less restricted cash associated with fleet debt.
Dollar Utilization
Dollar utilization means revenue derived from the rental of equipment divided by the original cost of the equipment including additional capitalized refurbishment costs (with the basis of refurbished assets at the refurbishment date).
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Corporate EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA Margin
EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation (which includes revenue earning equipment lease charges) and amortization. Corporate EBITDA, as presented herein, represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as described in more detail in the accompanying schedules.
Management uses EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA as operating performance and liquidity metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. Further, EBITDA enables management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics such as revenue, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which enables management and investors to evaluate our business segments that are financed differently and have different depreciation characteristics and compare our performance against companies with different capital structures and depreciation policies. We also present Corporate EBITDA as a supplemental measure because such information is utilized in the calculation of financial covenants under the Company's senior credit facilities and in the determination of certain executive compensation.
Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Corporate EBITDA to total revenues and is used by the Compensation Committee to determine certain executive compensation, primarily in the form of PSUs.
EBITDA, Corporate EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA Margin are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. When evaluating our operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities.
Equipment Rental and Rental Related Revenue
Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and to investors as it reflects time and mileage and ancillary charges for equipment on rent and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants.
Fleet Efficiency
Fleet efficiency is calculated by dividing total transaction days by the average fleet multiplied by the number of days in a period. Average fleet used to calculate fleet efficiency in our U.S. Car Rental segment excludes Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles as these vehicles do not have associated transaction days.
Fleet Growth
U.S. and International car rental fleet growth is defined as car rental fleet capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus car rental fleet depreciation and net car rental fleet financing which includes borrowings, repayments and the change in fleet restricted cash. Worldwide equipment rental fleet growth is defined as worldwide equipment rental fleet expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus depreciation.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, excluding depreciation of revenue earning equipment, net of car rental and equipment rental fleet growth and property and equipment net expenditures. Free cash flow is important to management and investors as it represents the cash available for acquisitions and the reduction of corporate debt.
Net Corporate Debt
Net corporate debt is calculated as total debt excluding fleet debt less cash and equivalents and corporate restricted cash. Corporate debt consists of our Senior Term Facility; Senior ABL Facility; Senior Notes; Promissory Notes; Convertible Senior Notes; and certain other indebtedness of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
Net Corporate Debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure our leverage. Net Corporate Debt also assists in the evaluation of our ability to service our non-fleet-related debt without reference to the expense associated with the fleet debt, which is collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-fleet debt facilities.
Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month
Net depreciation per unit per month is calculated by dividing depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net by the average fleet in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported 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 useful in analyzing underlying trends. Average fleet used to calculate net depreciation per unit per month in our U.S. Car Rental segment includes Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles as these vehicles have associated lease charges.
Restricted Cash Associated with Fleet Debt (used in the calculation of Net Fleet Debt and Corporate Restricted Cash)
Restricted cash associated with fleet debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning, vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities and our car rental like-kind exchange program.
Same Store Revenue Growth/Decline
Same store revenue growth is calculated as the year-over-year change in revenue for locations that are open at the end of the period reported and have been operating under our direction for more than twelve months. The same-store revenue amounts are adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency.
Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends.
Time Utilization
Time utilization means the percentage of time an equipment unit is on-rent during a given period.
Total Net Debt
Total net debt is calculated as total debt less total cash and cash equivalents and total restricted cash. This measure is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure our gross leverage.
Total RPD
Total RPD is calculated as total revenue less revenue from fleet subleases and ancillary revenue associated with retail car sales, 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.
Transaction Days
Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period.
