PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM l. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholder of The Hertz Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Hertz Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss) and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. 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, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 4, 2013, 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, 2012, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1—Background
The Hertz Corporation together with its subsidiaries, including Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or "Dollar Thrifty," are referred to herein as ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ and ‘‘us.’’ The Hertz Corporation is referred to herein as ‘‘Hertz,’’ 100% of Hertz outstanding capital stock is owned by Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously CCMG Corporation), and 100% of Hertz Investors, Inc.'s capital stock is owned by Hertz Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.).
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 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 |
• | Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., or "Merrill Lynch," |
or collectively the “Sponsors,” acquired all of our common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of our common stock by the Sponsors as the “Acquisition.”
On November 19, 2012, Hertz completed the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, a car and truck rental and leasing business. See Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures.
On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business. See Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures.
In December 2012, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to J.P. Morgan as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.
In March 2013, the Sponsors sold 60,050,777 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares. In connection with the offering, Hertz Holdings repurchased from the underwriters 23,200,000 of the 60,050,777 shares of common stock sold by the Sponsors.
As a result of Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011, December 2012 and March 2013, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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, 2012, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on March 4, 2013, or the "Form 10-K," have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The December 31, 2012 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update, or "ASU," No. 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," or "ASU 2012-02" which states 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 an 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. This accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” or “ASU 2013-05”, which permits an entity to release cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held. The revised standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.
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."
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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $370.5 million and $494.0 million, respectively. The decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with our fleet debt of $123.5 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 was primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

Note 5 —Business Combinations and Divestitures
Dollar Thrifty Acquisition
On November 19, 2012, Hertz Holdings completed the Dollar Thrifty acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement with Dollar Thrifty and a wholly owned Hertz subsidiary, or "Merger Sub." In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub completed a tender offer in which it purchased a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock then outstanding at a price equal to $87.50 per share in cash. Merger Sub subsequently acquired the remaining shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock by means of a short-form merger in which such shares were converted into the right to receive the same $87.50 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The total purchase price was approximately $2,592.0 million, which comprised of $2,551.0 million of cash, including our use of approximately $404.0 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, and the fair value of our previously held equity

interest in Dollar Thrifty of $41.0 million. As a condition of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to a divestiture agreement reached with the Federal Trade Commission, or "FTC," Hertz divested its Simply Wheelz subsidiary, which owned and operated the Advantage brand, and secured for the buyer of Advantage certain Dollar Thrifty on-airport car rental concessions. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz.
The purchase price of Dollar Thrifty was funded with (i) cash proceeds of $1,950.0 million received by Hertz from its issuance of $1,950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and Term Loans, (ii) approximately $404.0 million of acquired cash and cash equivalents from Dollar Thrifty, and (iii) the balance funded by Hertz's existing cash.
The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of November 19, 2012. For the preliminary purchase price allocation refer to Note 4 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."
Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation have been made to reflect revised estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at November 19, 2012. The revisions primarily related to valuation of certain contracts and accrued liabilities, and the resulting changes to goodwill. Providing for these adjustments in previous periods would not have a material impact on the reported operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 and therefore such amounts have been recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty had occurred on January 1, 2012 for the period presented below (in millions of dollars).
Revenue | Loss | ||||||
2012 supplemental pro forma from 1/1/12 - 3/31/12 (combined entity) | $ | 2,257.4 | $ | (33.0 | ) |
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined entity nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of Hertz Holdings and Dollar Thrifty, adjusted for increases in amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, additional interest expense associated with the financing relating to the acquisition, elimination of the results of operations of the Advantage business and locations to be divested where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, and including an estimated amount of leasing revenue to be earned by Hertz from leasing vehicles to the buyer of Advantage.
Other Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we re-acquired five domestic car rental locations from our former licensees. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Divestitures
Potential Divestiture of Selected Dollar Thrifty Airport Locations
In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, Hertz agreed to dispose of Advantage, to secure for the buyer of Advantage certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at 13 locations where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the “Initial airport locations.” Additionally, Hertz agreed to secure for the buyer of Advantage or, in certain cases, one or more other FTC-approved buyers, on-airport car rental concessions at 13 additional locations where Dollar Thrifty operated prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the “Secondary airport locations.” The buyer of Advantage agreed to assume all of the Secondary airport locations. As of March 31, 2013, Hertz completed the sale of several locations among the Initial airport locations and the Secondary airport locations, and had a remaining loss reserve, including estimated support payments of $22.6 million.

Advantage Divestiture
On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, or the “Advantage divestiture,” a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business, or “Advantage.” As part of the sale agreement, Hertz agreed to sublease vehicles to the buyer of Advantage for use in continuing the operations of Advantage, for a period no longer than two years from the closing date. As such, Hertz will have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed Advantage business. Therefore, the operating results associated with the Advantage business will continue to be classified as part of our continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Note 6—Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 69.2% and (100.9)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2013 is expected to be approximately 40%. The provision for taxes on income of $59.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased from $24.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012, 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.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges includes the following (in millions of dollars):

Rents paid for vehicles leased | 15.3 | 23.1 | |||||
Total | $ | 587.0 | $ | 515.1 |
The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, included net losses of $3.3 million and net gains of $34.9 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and gains of $4.6 million and $4.5 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 three months ended March 31, 2013, 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 $0.7 million and $0.2 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in an increase of $0.1 million in depreciation expense.

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.
Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2013, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $669.6 million. Of this amount, $617.6 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2013, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.
2013 Events
In January 2013, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," an insolvency remote, direct, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, completed the issuance of $950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of three year and five year Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B. The $282.75 million of three year Class A notes carry a 1.12% coupon, the $42.25 million of three year Class B notes carry a 1.86% coupon, the $543.75 million of five year Class A notes carry a 1.83% coupon, and the $81.25 million of five year Class B notes carry a 2.48% coupon. The three year notes and five year notes have expected final payment dates in August 2016 and August 2018, respectively. The Class B notes are subordinated to the Class A notes.
The net proceeds from the sale of HVF's Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes will be, to the extent permitted by the applicable agreements, (i) used to pay the purchase price of vehicles acquired by HVF pursuant to HVF's U.S. ABS Program (as defined herein), (ii) used to pay the principal amount of other HVF U.S. ABS Program indebtedness that is then permitted or required to be paid or (iii) released to HVF to be distributed to Hertz or otherwise used by HVF for general purposes.
In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.
In March 2013, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2018. The proceeds of this March 2013 offering were used by us to replenish a portion of our liquidity, after having dividended $467.2 million in available liquidity to Hertz Holdings, which Hertz Holdings used to repurchase 23,200,000 shares of its common stock in March 2013.
For subsequent events relating to our indebtedness, see Note 18—Subsequent Events.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of the exchange and registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Senior Notes due 2018 in March 2013, Hertz 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's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by March 2014 or failing to complete the exchange offer by April 2014, 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 any such failure 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
In February 2013 and March 2013, we added Dollar Thrifty and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities. 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, 2013 has been issued from the terms as disclosed in our Form 10-K.

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, 2013, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.1 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,027.2 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 International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries.

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 months ended March 31, 2013, we contributed $3.7 million to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $3.0 million to our United Kingdom, or "U.K.," defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we contributed $20.3 million to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $3.2 million to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. The level of 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 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 Executive 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 15 years post-retirement or until the participant reaches the age of 80, whichever occurs last.
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.
During 2012, Hertz completely withdrew employees from an existing multi-employer pension plan with the Central States Pension Fund, or the "Pension Fund," and entered into a new agreement with the Pension Fund. In connection

with the complete withdrawal from the Pension Fund, Hertz was subject to a withdrawal liability of approximately $23.2 million, which was paid in December 2012.
Note 10—Stock-Based Compensation
In February 2013, Hertz Holdings granted 5,247 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," and 1,707,458 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," to certain executives and employees at a fair value of $19.95, under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan." Of the total PSUs awarded 1,136,724 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 2013 and combined 2013-2014 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 provided in the applicable award agreements. These PSU awards vest evenly over a three year vesting period. Of the total PSUs awarded, 490,632 PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will either be 0% to 100% of the original grant. Award of this grant is contingent upon final 2013 Corporate EBITDA Margin exceeding a minimum level. "Corporate EBITDA Margin" means Corporate EBITDA as a percentage of Consolidated Revenue. These PSU awards vest evenly over a three year vesting period. Of the total PSUs awarded, 83,567 PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will either be 0% to 100% of the original grant. Award of this grant is contingent upon final 2013 Corporate EBITDA Margin exceeding a minimum level. These PSU awards vest evenly over a two year vesting period. The RSUs awarded have a two year cliff vesting period.
The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Prior Plans (as defined below) and the Omnibus Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.
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):

Compensation expense | $ | 8.0 | $ | 7.5 | |||
Income tax benefit | (3.1 | ) | (2.9 | ) | |||
Total | $ | 4.9 | $ | 4.6 |
As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $64.1 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 2.3 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.
Note 11—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. Donlen is included in the car rental reportable segment.
Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus 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.

Total assets increased $797.1 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily related to an increase in our car rental and equipment rental segments' revenue earning equipment, driven by increased volumes, partly offset by a decrease in fleet receivables within our car rental segment, primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning equipment.

Note 13—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 2012, 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 9,610 employees.
During the first quarter of 2013, 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 approximately 50 employees.
From January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2013, we incurred $572.1 million ($285.8 million for our car rental segment, $230.8 million for our equipment rental segment and $55.5 million of other) of restructuring charges.
Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.
Restructuring charges in our consolidated statement of operations can be summarized as follows (in millions of dollars).

Note 14—Financial Instruments
Gasoline Swap Contracts
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 July 2014. 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. 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.
Interest Rate Cap Contracts
Hertz is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has purchased and sold interest rate cap agreements to manage that risk. Consequently, we manage the financial exposure as part of our risk management program by striving to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the financial markets may have on our operating results. 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.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We 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.
Foreign Exchange Options
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 for working capital needs. 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.

Fair value measures
Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.
Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
For borrowings with an initial maturity of 90 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs). The aggregate fair value of all debt at March 31, 2013 was $16,413.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $15,862.3 million. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2012 was $15,529.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $14,999.1 million.

Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors
Other than as disclosed below, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no material changes to our relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. or the Sponsors.
In March 2013, the Sponsors sold 60,050,777 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares. In connection with the offering, Hertz Holdings repurchased from the underwriters 23,200,000 of the 60,050,777 shares of common stock sold by the Sponsors.
As a result of our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011, December 2012 and March 2013, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
Financing Arrangements with Related Parties
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $192.8 million and $189.8 million, respectively, of our outstanding debt was with related parties.
For information on our total indebtedness, see Note 8—Debt.

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
We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and we will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' 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 do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors.
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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million and $2.6 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 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $321.0 million and $332.2 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 12 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."
The following recent developments pertaining to legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K are furnished on a supplemental basis:
In Davis Landscape, Ltd. et al. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, the parties executed a settlement agreement in March 2013 and thereafter sought preliminary approval from the court of the proposed class settlement. The court has now tentatively approved the proposed class settlement, approved the parties' notice plan and has set June 18, 2013 as the date for the final approval hearing. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Enterprise is now a defendant in a separate action and is no longer a defendant in the Sobel case. The Sobel case purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges. In the complaint, the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz from quoting or charging those airport fees that are alleged not to be allowed by Nevada law. The complaint also seeks attorneys' fees and costs. In 2010, the parties engaged in mediation which resulted in a proposed settlement. Although the court tentatively approved the settlement in November 2010, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the proposed settlement in May 2011. Following additional activity in the case, in March 2013, the court granted, in part, the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment with respect to restitution and granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification, while denying the Company's motion for partial summary judgment. The court further indicated that plaintiffs are entitled to prejudgment interest from the date of the plaintiffs' first amended complaint. A judgment has not yet been entered in the case, and there are expected to be further proceedings before the district court. The amount of a judgment could potentially exceed $40.0 million. The Company intends to appeal or seek other appropriate relief and believes that the court's liability, damages and class certification findings will be reversed. We continue to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Aside from the above mentioned, none of the other legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K have experienced any material changes.
In addition to the above mentioned and those described in our Form 10-K or in our other filings with SEC, 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 SEC, 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.

Note 17—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, of (a) The Hertz Corporation, (“the Company” or “the Parent”); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Parent's indebtedness, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries; (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Parent's indebtedness, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; and of (e) the Company on a consolidated basis.
In February 2013 and March 2013, we added Dollar Thrifty and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities. The following condensed consolidating financial statements now reflects the results of this change for all periods presented.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been provided, as the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

Note 18—Subsequent Events
In April 2013, Hertz entered into an Amendment No. 2, or "Amendment No. 2," to the Senior Term Facility, primarily to reduce the interest rate applicable to a portion of the outstanding term loans under the Senior Term Facility. Prior to Amendment No. 2, approximately $1,372.0 million of tranche B term loans, or “Tranche B Term Loans”, under the Senior Term Facility bore interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 1.00 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.75 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent per annum. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, certain of the existing lenders under the Senior Term Facility converted their existing Tranche B Term Loans into a new tranche of tranche B-2 term loans, or the “Tranche B-2 Term Loans”, in an aggregate principal amount, along with new loans advanced by certain new lenders, of approximately $1,372.0 million. The proceeds of Tranche B-2 Term Loans advanced by the new lenders were used to prepay in full all of the Tranche B Term Loans that were not converted into Tranche B-2 Term Loans.
The Tranche B-2 Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 0.75 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.25 percent per annum. The terms and conditions of the new Tranche B-2 Term Loans with respect to maturity, collateral, and covenants are otherwise unchanged compared to the Tranche B Term Loans.
On April 15, 2013, Hertz entered into definitive agreements with China Auto Rental Holdings, Inc., or “China Auto,” and related parties pursuant to which Hertz made a strategic investment in China Auto. China Auto is the largest car rental company in China. Pursuant to the transaction, Hertz invested cash and certain of its assets in China and received common stock and convertible notes in return. Upon the closing of the transaction which occurred on April 30, 2013, Hertz owns 10% of China Auto's ordinary shares and has a seat on China Auto's Board. Upon conversion of the notes, Hertz would have 18.64% on a fully diluted basis. This transaction will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Corporate History
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 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 |
• | Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., or "Merrill Lynch," |
or collectively the “Sponsors,” acquired all of our common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of our common stock by the Sponsors as the “Acquisition.”
After giving effect to Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006, subsequent offerings and share repurchase, the Sponsors' holdings represent approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock as of March 31, 2013.
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 relating to fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and from Adreca Holdings Corp. for the sublease of vehicles). |
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.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
Car Rental
In the U.S., as of March 31, 2013, the percentage of non-program cars was 96% as compared to 84% as of March 31, 2012. Internationally, as of March 31, 2013, the percentage of non-program cars was 72%, compared to 75% as of March 31, 2012. In the U.S., as of December 31, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 95% as compared to 83% as of December 31, 2011. Internationally, as of December 31, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 79%, compared to 75% as of December 31, 2011.
In recent periods we have decreased the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet and we expect this percentage to remain stable in the future, particularly as we integrate the operations of Dollar Thrifty, which operated a lower percentage of program cars than Hertz immediately prior to our completion of the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty. Non-program cars typically have lower acquisition costs and lower depreciation rates than comparable program cars. 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 is 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.
In the three months ended March 31, 2013, 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 three months ended March 31, 2013, 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 $0.7 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 75,400 and 43,000 non-program cars, respectively, a 75.4% year over year increase. The year over year increase was primarily due to the continued shift from program to non-program vehicles. In addition, residuals remained fairly strong during the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we experienced a 31.7% and 4.8% increase in transaction days and total revenue per transaction day, or "total RPD," respectively, versus the prior year period in the United States. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, in our European operations, we experienced a 1.7% decline in transaction days and a 3.0% decline in total RPD when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Our U.S. off-airport operations represented $320.4 million and $283.9 million of our total car rental revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, we have 2,574 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 total 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Donlen had an average of approximately 165,600 vehicles and 141,500 vehicles, respectively, under lease and management. Donlen's fleet management programs provide outsourced solutions to reduce fleet operating costs and improve driver productivity. These programs include
41
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
administration of preventive maintenance, advisory services, and fuel and accident management along with other complementary services.
As of March 31, 2013, our worldwide car rental operations had a total of approximately 10,460 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand.
On November 19, 2012, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity of Dollar Thrifty, a car and truck rental and leasing business. As of March 31, 2013, Dollar Thrifty had approximately 280 corporate locations in the United States and Canada, with approximately 5,800 employees located mainly in North America. In addition to its corporate operations, Dollar Thrifty had approximately 1,220 franchise locations in 85 countries. Dollar Thrifty brings to Hertz an immediate leadership position in the value-priced rental vehicle market generally appealing to leisure customers, including domestic and foreign tourists, and to small businesses, government and independent business travelers.
Equipment Rental
HERC experienced higher rental volumes and pricing for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior year as the industry continued its recovery in North America. The recovery has been led by strong industrial performance, especially oil and gas related, and improvement in the construction sector in part reflecting higher rental penetration. We continued to see growth in our specialty services such as Pump & Power, Industrial Plant Services and Hertz Entertainment Services. Additionally, there continue to be opportunities for 2013 as the uncertain economic outlook makes rental solutions attractive to customers.
On January 19, 2012, HERC acquired Cinelease Holdings, LLC, or "Cinelease," a U.S. market leader in lighting and grip rentals to the television industry.
As of March 31, 2013, HERC had a total of approximately 340 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
During the first quarter of 2013, 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 approximately 50 employees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our consolidated statement of operations includes restructuring charges of $3.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act as added by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syrian Human Rights Act of 2012, we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 thereunder) knowingly engage in certain activities specified in Section 13(r) during the period covered by the

report. Because the SEC defines the term "affiliate" broadly, it includes any entity that controls us or is under common control with us (“control” is also construed broadly by the SEC). Our affiliate, CD&R, has informed us that an indirect subsidiary of SPIE S.A., or "SPIE," an affiliate of CD&R based in France, maintained bank accounts at Bank Melli with the approval of the French financial regulator (applying European Union law) during the period covered by this report. Bank Melli is an Iranian bank designated under Executive Order No. 13382. We had no knowledge of or control over the activities of SPIE or its subsidiaries. CD&R has informed us that during the period covered by this report, the SPIE subsidiary used the accounts to make two tax payments to the Government of Iran, withdrew cash to pay various administrative expenses, and received a transfer of funds from a vendor. The total volume of these transactions in the SPIE subsidiary's accounts at Bank Melli, excluding transfers between those accounts, during the period covered by this report was the equivalent of less than $200,000 at the Iranian Central Bank's official exchange rate. CD&R has informed us that SPIE and its subsidiaries obtained no revenue or profit from these transactions, that CD&R and SPIE have disclosed these matters to the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S. Treasury Department, or “OFAC,” that SPIE and its subsidiaries intended to comply with all applicable laws, and that SPIE and its subsidiaries do not intend to conduct any transaction or dealing with Bank Melli or the Government of Iran in the future other than any transactions that may be authorized by the applicable French governmental authority and OFAC.

(a) | Transaction days represent the total number of days that vehicles were on rent in a given period. |
(b) | Car rental revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding non-rental revenues derived from Donlen. Total revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it represents the best measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The following table reconciles our car rental segment revenues to our rental revenue and rental revenue per transaction day (based on December 31, 2012 foreign exchange rates) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions of dollars, except as noted): |

(c) | Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus 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 |

(d) | 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 investors as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our equipment rental segment revenues to our equipment rental and rental related revenue (based on December 31, 2012 foreign exchange rates) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions of dollars): |

Car Rental Segment
Revenues from our car rental segment increased 25.7%, primarily due to Dollar Thrifty which was acquired on November 19, 2012, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage. Excluding the effects of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition and the Advantage divestiture, rental revenues in the U.S. increased $63.8 million. In addition there were revenue increases in the U.S. of $20.4 million from fleet subleases, $16.6 million from Donlen leasing transactions, and $6.8 million obtained from licensee transactions. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in international revenues of $10.7 million, and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.9 million.
Worldwide car rental transaction day volume was up 23.4%, due to an increase in U.S. transaction volume of 31.7% and an increase in international transaction day volume of 1.8%. The increase in the U.S. transaction volume was primarily due to Dollar Thrifty, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage. Total worldwide revenue per transaction increased 5.1%, driven by an increase in U.S. revenue per transaction of 9.5% partially offset by a decrease in international revenue per transaction of 2.2%.
Our total RPD metric now reflects total car rental revenue per transaction day. Total RPD for worldwide car rental for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 2.6% from 2012, due to an increase in U.S. total RPD of 4.8%, partly offset by a decrease in International total RPD of 1.2%. U.S. airport total RPD, excluding the impact of Dollar Thrifty, increased 12.2% and U.S. off-airport total RPD increased by 0.5%. The increase in U.S. airport total RPD was due to a 7.1% increase in revenue, excluding the impact of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage, accompanied by the divestiture of Advantage which had a lower airport total RPD average. International total RPD decreased primarily driven by a decrease in Europe total RPD of 3.0% due to the competitive pricing environment and continued slow economy growth.
Equipment Rental Segment
Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 16.2%, primarily due to increases of 15.7% and 3.6% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $0.3 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial and improving construction performance.
Other
Revenues from all other sources increased $0.1 million, from the prior year period.

Total expenses increased 18.4%, primarily due to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage. Total expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 101.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 96.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Direct Operating Expenses
Car Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,152.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 23.9% from $929.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty and the growth in U.S. revenue, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage.
Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $525.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 25.9% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage. Excluding the effects of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage there was an increase in concessions of $5.5 million, and customer service costs of $4.2 million due largely to the NeverLost system. In addition there were increases in commissions of $3.1 million associated with increased revenue, and field systems expenses of $2.4 million.
Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment of $369.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 18.8% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partly offset by the divestiture of Advantage.
Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment of $257.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 21.7% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partly offset by a decrease in fleet related expenses associated with the divestiture of Advantage. Excluding the effects of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage there was an increase in vehicle damage costs in the U.S. of $11.2 million due to increased winter storms this year versus the prior year along with an increase in the number of vehicles, and an increase in average loss per vehicle. In addition there was an increase in gasoline expense of $4.3 million related to inventory adjustments and higher gas costs, and maintenance expense of $2.7 million driven mainly by the fleet growth.
Equipment Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $200.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 7.4% from $186.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, personnel related expenses and fleet related expenses associated with business growth.
47
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $1.6 million, or 2.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to increases of $2.5 million in cost of sales due to higher equipment sales, increased facilities costs of $0.9 million and field systems of $0.8 million, partly offset by a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges of $3.8 million.
Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $65.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $4.5 million, or 7.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $4.2 million and higher payroll taxes of $0.4 million.
Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $57.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $7.7 million, or 15.5% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to increased maintenance expense of $3.5 million and other equipment operating costs of $3.9 million.
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 $513.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 13.6% from $451.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges decreased from 27.2% in the first quarter of 2012 to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease as a percent of revenues was driven primarily by an increase in residual values and corresponding lower depreciation rates in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. The $62.1 million increase in depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges was primarily due to higher depreciation expense related to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty in November 2012, and increased fleet size in the U.S. and Donlen, partially offset by the divestiture of Advantage and lower per car depreciation rates and a higher mix of non-program cars.
Equipment Rental Segment
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 16.7% from $63.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an 12.8% 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.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $43.9 million or 21.1% from the prior year period, due to increases in administrative expenses and sales promotion expenses, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expenses.
Administrative expenses increased $32.2 million or 24.8%, primarily due to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty as well as increases in shared service expenses of $2.9 million and restructuring related charges of $1.9 million.
Advertising expenses increased $10.4 million or 25.1%, primarily due to the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, partly offset by lower production and marketing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year period.
Sales promotion expenses increased $1.3 million or 3.6%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, partly offset by lower sales related general administrative expenses.

Interest Expense
Car Rental Segment
Interest expense for our car rental segment of $75.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 5.9% from $80.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily primarily lower weighted average interest rates in the U.S and Europe, partly offset by an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increase in fleet size in the US, and additional interest expense related to debt used to finance Dollar Thrifty acquisition.
Equipment Rental Segment
Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 4.7% from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increased fleet size.
Other
Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 31.7% from $56.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the debt used to finance the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $0.7 million from the prior year period.
Other Income, Net
Other income increased $0.1 million from the prior year period.
ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)
Car Rental Segment
Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $208.4 million increased 127.5% from $91.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing including the impact of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, lower net depreciation per vehicle, interest expense due to favorable refinancing activity and disciplined cost management. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $38.8 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $22.6 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $5.8 million, non-cash debt charges of $5.7 million and integration expenses of $4.7 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $30.1 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $13.1 million, non-cash debt charges of $11.2 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $5.8 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 $45.8 million increased 76.8% from $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. 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 three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $13.7 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $10.5 million, accelerated depreciation of $1.5 million, non-cash debt charges of $1.2 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $0.5 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $15.7 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $10.0 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $4.2 million and non-cash

Provision for Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 69.2% as compared to (100.9)% in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2013 is expected to be approximately 40%. The provision for taxes on income increased $35.3 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 (Loss) Attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholder
The net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder increased $74.7 million primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, higher rental volumes and pricing in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, disciplined cost management, lower net depreciation per vehicle in our car rental operations and improved residual values on the disposal of certain used equipment. 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.
Cash Flows
As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $653.8 million, an increase of $120.5 million from December 31, 2012. The following table summarizes the change:

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated $246.4 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, improved working capital and refinancing activities which reduced interest expense, as well as due to the timing of our payments.
Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used $216.5 million more cash for investing

activities compared with the same period in 2012. The increase in the use of funds was primarily due to increases in revenue earning equipment expenditures and a decrease in the year-over-year change in restricted cash and cash equivalents during the period, partly offset by an increase in the proceeds from disposal of revenue earning equipment in our car rental operations and a decrease in acquisition activity compared with the same period in 2012. The increase in revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to increased volumes, the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty and timing of purchases and payments. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $425.2 million and $571.6 million, respectively, of restricted cash and cash equivalents to be used for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our fleet financing facilities, our Like Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. The decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $146.5 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013, primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows from financing activities increased by $442.8 million compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to debt related activity to finance fleet purchases offset by the repurchase of shares in the first quarter of 2013.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Financing
Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of corporate and fleet related debt, the payment of operating expenses and purchases of rental vehicles and equipment to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, borrowings under our asset-backed securitizations and our asset-based revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets generally.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $15,876.1 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $119.1 million, net of amounts capitalized. Accordingly, 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, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
Our liquidity as of March 31, 2013 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and unused commitments under our fleet debt. For a description of these amounts, see Note 8 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report as well as "Borrowing Capacity and Availability," below.
Maturities
The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31 (in millions of dollars) are as follows:
2014 | $ | 5,511.2 | (including $5,212.0 of other short-term borrowings*) | ||
2015 | $ | 1,991.1 | |||
2016 | $ | 1,101.8 | |||
2017 | $ | 529.2 | |||
2018 | $ | 248.1 | |||
After 2018 | $ | 6,480.9 |
_______________________________________________________________________________
* | Our short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2013 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, HVF U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility and Capitalized Leases. These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2013, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 1.8%. |
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 January 2013, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," an insolvency remote, direct, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, completed the issuance of $950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of three year and five year Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B. The $282.75 million of three year Class A notes carry a 1.12% coupon, the $42.25 million of three year Class B notes carry a 1.86% coupon, the $543.75 million of five year Class A notes carry a 1.83% coupon, and the $81.25 million of five year Class B notes carry a 2.48% coupon. The three year notes and five year notes have expected final payment dates in August 2016 and August 2018, respectively. The Class B notes are subordinated to the Class A notes.
The net proceeds from the sale of HVF's Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes will be, to the extent permitted by the applicable agreements, (i) used to pay the purchase price of vehicles acquired by HVF pursuant to HVF's U.S. ABS Program (as defined herein), (ii) used to pay the principal amount of other HVF U.S. ABS Program indebtedness that is then permitted or required to be paid or (iii) released to HVF to be distributed to Hertz or otherwise used by HVF for general purposes.
In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.
In March 2013, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2018. The proceeds of this March 2013 offering were used by us to replenish a portion of our liquidity, after having dividended $467.2 million
52
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

in available liquidity to Hertz Holdings, which Hertz Holdings used to repurchase 23.2 million shares of its common stock in March 2013.
For subsequent events relating to our indebtedness, see Note 18 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 the exchange and registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 in March 2013, Hertz 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's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by March 2014 or failing to complete the exchange offer by April 2014, 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 any such failure 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 5 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.

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.
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 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2013, 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 8 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 5 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 significant indebtedness, see "Item 1A—Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K.

Total | $ | 2,224.8 | $ | 761.6 |
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."
54
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, 2013, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.1 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,027.2 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 International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities collectively had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $393.4 million and $440.8 million, respectively, and collectively had total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $392.9 million and $440.3 million, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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
We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and we will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' 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 do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors.
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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The accrual
55
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
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 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.
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 14 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 8 and 14 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Notes 5 and 14 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."
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, 2013, our net income would decrease by an estimated $30.3 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.
56
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our consolidated statement of operations contained realized and unrealized losses relating to the effects of foreign currency of $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
See Note 14 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 month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized a loss of $1.7 million and a gain of $1.8 million, respectively, in "Direct operating" on our consolidated statement of operations relating to our gasoline swaps. See Note 14 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
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 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 helped offset tax gains during the period of LKE suspension. The U.S. car rental LKE Program was reinstated on October 15, 2012.
Recent dispositions of Hertz Holdings' common stock by certain significant shareholders, when combined with other dispositions of Hertz Holdings' stock over the previous 36 months, may have resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, utilization of all pre-2013 U.S. net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation. This limitation, if any, 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 6 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements
57
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Our 2013 worldwide pre-tax pension expense is expected to be approximately $42.5 million, which would represent an increase of $7.8 million from 2012. The anticipated increase in expense as compared to 2012 is primarily due to lower expected rates of return in 2013 and lower discount rates at the end of 2012 compared to 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. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
During 2012, Hertz completely withdrew employees from an existing multi-employer pension plan with the Central States Pension Fund, or the "Pension Fund," and entered into a new agreement with the Pension Fund. In connection with the complete withdrawal from the Pension Fund, Hertz was subject to a withdrawal liability of approximately $23.2 million, which was paid in December 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Other Financial Information
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information of The Hertz Corporation as of March 31, 2013 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 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 2, 2013 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 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. On November 19, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty. The Company is in the process of reviewing Dollar Thrifty's operations and will be conducting control reviews pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. See Note 5, "Business Combinations and Divestitures," to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the acquisition and related financial data. Excluding the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, 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, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
