Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global" when including its subsidiaries and variable interest entities and "Hertz Holdings" excluding its subsidiaries and variable interest entities) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz" and interchangeably with Hertz Global, the "Company"), Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in the United States ("U.S."), Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Through its Donlen subsidiary, Hertz provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services.

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018 of Hertz Global and Hertz. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, therefore, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global. In the sections that combine disclosure of Hertz Global and Hertz, this report refers to actions as being actions of the Company, or Hertz Global, which is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and Hertz Global operates the business through Hertz. When appropriate, Hertz Global and Hertz are named specifically for their individual disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of Hertz Global and Hertz are separately disclosed and explained.
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
The
December 31, 2017
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data is derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company's Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10‑K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2018. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
As disclosed below in "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," the Company adopted the financial statement disclosure guidance "Restricted Cash" on January 1, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. The Company is the primary beneficiary of certain variable interest entities, therefore, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the variable interest entities are included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Out of Period Adjustments
The Company identified a misstatement in its 2016 financial statements, related to the income tax provision, that it corrected in the second quarter of 2017. The cumulative impact of the adjustment was an increase in net loss of approximately
$10 million
. There was no impact to loss before income taxes. The misstatement related to an error in the tax provision for U.S. income of a foreign equity investment transaction for fiscal year 2016. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the item and determined that the misstatement was not material to any prior period and not material to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The FASB also issued several amendments and updates to the new revenue standard (collectively, “Topic 606”). Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue from customers for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services, as well as when an entity should recognize revenue gross as a principal or net as an agent and how an entity should identify performance obligations. Topic 606 requires disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company adopted Topic 606 on the effective date, January 1, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach applied to all contracts. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.
The impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows is primarily for revenue associated with the redemption of points earned by customers under the Company’s loyalty programs (“loyalty points”). For transactions that generate loyalty points to the customer, a portion of revenue is deferred until the loyalty points are redeemed by the customer. The amount of revenue deferred is equivalent to the retail value of each loyalty point less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed.

Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies existing guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Additionally, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively in accordance with the effective date on January 1, 2018.

Not Yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that replaces the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new guidance ("Topic 842") establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Topic 842 also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements. Additionally, enhanced quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases are required which provide financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Topic 842 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this guidance, in accordance with the effective date, on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for

both lessees and lessors for existing leases at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company intends to avail itself of the allowable practical expedients for existing or expired contracts of lessees and lessors wherein the Company would not be required to reassess whether such contracts contain leases, the lease classification or the initial direct costs. Additionally, with respect to its real estate and fleet leases, the Company intends to avail itself of the practical expedient for lessees which allows it to elect an accounting policy by class of underlying asset to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company does not intend to utilize the practical expedient which allows the use of hindsight by lessees and lessors in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of its ROU assets. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether to avail itself of other allowable practicable expedients during transition.
In July 2018, the FASB issued guidance related to Topic 842 that provides an additional transition method that would allow the Company to only apply the new lease standard in the year of adoption. Additionally, the guidance provides a practical expedient for lessors that would allow the Company to elect as an accounting policy, by class of underlying asset, to combine non-lease components with the related lease components, if certain conditions are met. This could allow the Company to account for all revenue earned from the operations of rental vehicles and from other forms of rental related activities under the new lease guidance. The Company plans to adopt the new transition method which allows the application of the standard at the adoption date, January 1, 2019, and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balances of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company intends to avail itself of the practical expedient for lessors which allows it to elect an accounting policy by class of underlying asset to combine lease and non-lease components, with respect to its real estate and fleet leases.
Lessee
Adoption of Topic 842 will result in a material increase in the Company's lease-related assets and liabilities on its balance sheet, primarily for leases of rental locations and other assets. Additionally, adoption of this guidance will impact the statement of cash flows with respect to the presentation of the Company's operating activities, but is not expected to impact its presentation of investing or financing activities. Adoption of Topic 842 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company has reached conclusions on key accounting assessments related to its leases which includes an accounting policy election to not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (i.e. those with a term of 12 months or less). The Company is performing an analysis of its lease portfolio to ensure proper application of the new guidance including implementation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Lessor
The Company has concluded that revenue earned from the rental and leasing of vehicles and from other forms of rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset is within the scope of this guidance and that additional disclosures regarding lease revenue are required upon adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the breakdown of its vehicle rental revenues into lease and non-lease components to determine if the recognition timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components meet the practical expedient requirements. There is no impact to the nature, timing or recognition of rental lease revenue upon adoption of this guidance.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019, in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this guidance will result in a reclassification of certain amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of the date adopted.

Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans to remove disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, add disclosures identified as relevant and clarify certain disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 using a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the timing of adoption and assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its disclosures.
Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on a customer's accounting for implementation fees paid in a cloud computing service contract arrangement that addresses which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset and which costs to expense. Capitalized implementation fees are to be expensed over the term of the cloud computing arrangement, and the expense is required to be recognized in the same line item in the income statement as the associated hosting service expenses. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation fees on the balance sheet in the same line item as the prepayment for hosting service fees associated with the cloud computing arrangement.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods using a retrospective or prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is in the process of determining the method and timing of adoption and assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Intangible Asset Impairment
As a result of declines in revenue and profitability of the Company and a decline in the share price of Hertz Global's common stock, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2017 using the relief from royalty method, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that there was an impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename in its U.S. Rental Car segment and recorded a charge of $
86 million
. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in long-term revenue projections coupled with an increase in the weighted average cost of capital. The carrying value of the Dollar Thrifty tradename subsequent to recording the impairment charge is approximately
$934 million
, representing its estimated fair value.

Maturity reference is to the earlier "expected final maturity date" as opposed to the subsequent "legal final maturity date." The expected final maturity date is the date by which Hertz and investors in the relevant indebtedness expect the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness to be repaid in full. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable in full.
(3)
In the case of the Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP ("HFLF") Medium Term Notes, such notes are repayable from cash flows derived from third-party leases comprising the underlying HFLF collateral pool. The initial maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the end of the revolving period for such series, at which time the related notes begin to amortize monthly by an amount equal to the lease collections payable to that series. To the extent the revolving period already has ended, the initial maturity date reflected is October 2018. The second maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the date by which Hertz and the investors in the related series expect such series of notes to be repaid in full, which is based upon various assumptions made at the time of pricing of such notes, including the contractual amortization of the underlying leases as well as the assumed rate of prepayments of such leases. Such maturity reference is to the “expected final maturity date” as opposed to the subsequent “legal final maturity date.” The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable. Although the underlying lease cash flows that support the repayment of the HFLF Medium Term Notes may vary, the cash flows generally are expected to approximate a straight-line amortization of the related notes from the initial maturity date through the expected final maturity date.

The Company is highly leveraged and a substantial portion of its liquidity needs arise from debt service on its indebtedness and from the funding of its costs of operations and capital expenditures. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse impact on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions. As of
September 30, 2018
, approximately
$2.3 billion
of vehicle debt and
$16 million
of non-vehicle debt is due to mature between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019.
The Company has reviewed its debt facilities and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance these facilities at such times as the Company determines appropriate prior to their respective maturities.
Non-Vehicle Debt
Senior Facilities
In June 2018, the Company terminated letters of credit issued under the Senior RCF with a stated amount of approximately
$302 million
and reissued such letters of credit under the Letter of Credit Facility, as defined below. As a result, the commitments under the Senior RCF were permanently reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis, such that after giving effect to such reduction the Senior RCF consists of a
$865 million
senior secured revolving credit facility.

European ABS
In October 2018, International Fleet Financing No.2 B.V (“IFF No. 2”), a special purpose entity which is intended to be bankruptcy remote, issued variable funding rental car asset backed notes that permit borrowings by IFF No. 2 on a revolving basis in an aggregate amount up to €1.0 billion with a term of two years ("European ABS"). The European ABS is the primary vehicle financing facility for the Company's vehicle rental operations in France, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. The lenders under the European ABS have been granted a security interest in the owned rental vehicles used in the Company's vehicle rental operations in these countries and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles.
In connection with the above transaction, the Company terminated the European Revolving Credit Facility and the European Securitization.
Canadian Securitization
In May 2018, TCL Funding Limited Partnership, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, amended its supplemental indenture for its Series 2015-A Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (the "Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes") to provide for aggregate maximum borrowing capacity (subject to borrowing base availability) of up to CAD
$410 million
during the peak rental season, for a seasonal commitment period through
October 2018
. Following the expiration of the seasonal commitment period, aggregate maximum borrowings available under the Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes will revert to CAD
$350 million
(subject to borrowing base availability).
U.K. Financing Facility
In May 2018, Hertz U.K. Limited amended its credit agreement ("U.K. Financing Facility") to provide for aggregate maximum borrowing capacity (subject to asset availability) of up to £
287.5 million
during the peak rental season, and in July 2018, the U.K. Financing Facility was further amended to provide for aggregate maximum borrowing capacity (subject to asset availability) of up to £
300 million
during the peak rental season, for a seasonal commitment period through
September 2018
. Following the expiration of the seasonal commitment period, aggregate maximum borrowings available under the U.K. Financing Facility reverted to £
250 million
(subject to asset availability).
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow-based revolving credit facilities, asset-based revolving credit facilities and a standalone
$400 million
letter of credit facility (the "Letter of Credit Facility"). Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. The Company's ability to borrow under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.
The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers 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 that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time). With respect to the Senior RCF and the Letter of Credit Facility, "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" is the same as "Remaining Capacity" since borrowings under the Senior RCF and the Letter of Credit Facility are not subject to a borrowing base.

, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling
$672 million
. As disclosed above, the Company terminated letters of credit issued under the Senior RCF and reissued such letters of credit under the Letter of Credit Facility. Issued letters of credit primarily support the Company's insurance programs, vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds as well as to provide credit enhancement for its asset-backed securitization facilities. Of this amount,
$360 million
was issued under the Senior RCF and
$301 million
was issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. As of
September 30, 2018

Special Purpose Entities
Substantially all of the Company's revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance LLC, DNRS II LLC, HFLF, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors.
The Company has a
25%
ownership interest in "IFF No. 2", whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. IFF No. 2 is a variable interest entity and the Company is the primary beneficiary, therefore, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of IFF No. 2 are included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of
September 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, IFF No. 2 had total assets of

Revenue
The Company recognizes two types of revenue: (i) revenue from contracts with customers; and (ii) lease revenue, which is generated through the fleet leasing operations of its Donlen subsidiary.
As disclosed in the Revenue from Contracts with Customers section of
Note 2
, “
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
” ("
Note 2
"), the Company adopted Topic 606 in accordance with the effective date on January 1, 2018.
Note 2
includes disclosures regarding the Company’s method of adoption and the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the Leases section of
Note 2
, the Company discloses that it has concluded that revenue earned from vehicle rentals, and from other forms of rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset, will be accounted for under Topic 842 upon its adoption. Until the Company adopts Topic 842, vehicle rental and rental related revenues are recognized in accordance with Topic 606.
The Company recognizes revenue net of any taxes or non-concession fees collected from customers on behalf of governmental authorities.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company operates at airport rental locations in the U.S. and internationally ("airport") and at off airport locations also in the U.S. and internationally ("off airport"). For the Company's airport company-operated rental locations, the Company has obtained concessions or similar leasing agreements or arrangements, granting it the right to conduct a vehicle rental business at the respective airport. The terms of an airport concession typically require the Company to pay the airport's operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues it generates at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. The terms of the Company's concessions typically do not forbid it from seeking, and in a few instances require it to seek, reimbursement from customers for concession fees it pays; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids the Company from doing so. Where the Company is required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is its general practice to do so. The Company's airport rental customers are typically airline travelers; whereas the Company's off airport rental customers include people who prefer to rent vehicles closer to their home or place of work for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. The Company's off airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their vehicles were damaged, those expecting to lease vehicles that are not yet available from their leasing companies and replacement renters. In addition, the Company's off airport customers include drivers for transportation network companies ("TNC").

Vehicle Rental and Rental Related Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue from its vehicle rental operations when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the performance obligations have been satisfied, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Performance obligations associated with vehicle rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period, except for the portion associated with loyalty points, as further described below. Rental periods are short term in nature. Therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose information about remaining performance obligations. Performance obligations associated with rental related activities, such as charges to the customer for the fueling of vehicles and value-added services such as loss damage waivers, insurance products, navigation units, supplemental equipment and other consumables, are also satisfied over the rental period. Revenue from charges that are passed through to the customer, such as gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concession fees, is recorded on a gross basis with a corresponding charge to direct vehicle and operating

expense. Sales commissions paid to third parties are generally expensed when incurred due to the short-term nature of the related transaction on which the commission was earned and are recorded within selling, general and administrative expense. Payments are due from customers at the completion of the rental, except for customers with negotiated payment terms, generally net 30 days or less, which are invoiced and remain as accounts receivable until collected.
Loyalty Programs
- The Company offers loyalty programs, primarily Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, wherein customers are eligible to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for free rental days or can be converted to loyalty points for redemption of products and services under loyalty programs of other companies. Each transaction that generates loyalty points results in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value of the redemption of the loyalty points. The associated revenue is recognized when the customer redeems the loyalty points at some point in the future. The retail value of loyalty points is estimated based on the expected retail value of the future vehicle rental to be provided less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”). Breakage is estimated on a quarterly basis and includes significant assumptions such as historical breakage trends and internal Company forecasts. During the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2018
, based on the net impact of loyalty points earned and redeemed by customers, the Company recorded a net revenue deferral of
$9 million
and
$5 million
, respectively. As of
September 30, 2018
, the value of unredeemed loyalty points is
$271 million
, which is recorded as a contract liability in accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Customer Rebates
- The Company has business customers that rent vehicles based on terms that have been negotiated through contracts with their employers, or other entities with which they are associated (“commercial contracts”), which can differ substantially from the terms on which the Company rents vehicles to the general public. Some of the commercial contracts contain provisions which allow for rebates to the entity based on achieving a specific rental volume threshold. Rebates are treated as variable consideration and are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of the rental based on the rebate expected to be earned by the entity.
Licensee Revenue
The Company has franchise agreements which allow an independent entity to rent their vehicles under the Company’s brands, primarily Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty, for a fee (“franchise fee”). Franchise fees are earned over time for the duration of the franchise agreement and are typically based on the larger of a minimum payment or an amount representing a percentage of net sales of the franchised business. Franchise fees are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured. Franchise fees that relate to a future contract term, such as initial fees or renewal fees, are deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement. The Company has elected to apply one of the practical expedients under Topic 606, and as such the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for sales-based royalty fees from franchisees is not disclosed.
Ancillary Retail Vehicle Sales Revenue
Ancillary retail vehicle sales represent revenues generated from the sale of warranty contracts, financing and title fees, and other ancillary services associated with vehicles disposed of at the Company’s retail outlets. These revenues are recorded at the point in time when the Company sells the product or provides the service to the customer. These revenues exclude the sale price of the vehicle which is a component of the gain or loss on the disposition and is included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net.
Fleet Management Revenue
The Company's Donlen subsidiary generates revenue from various fleet management services, such as fuel purchasing and management, preventive maintenance, repair consultation, toll management and accident management. Fleet management revenue is recognized net of any fees collected from customers on behalf of third-party service providers, as services are rendered.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
The Company recognized the income tax effects of the tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") in its audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10‑K in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which provides SEC staff guidance for the application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the TCJA was signed into law. The guidance also provides for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date for the Company to complete the accounting for the U.S. tax law changes. As such, the Company’s 2017 financial position reflects the provisional estimate of the income tax effects of the TCJA, which was based on certain assumptions and the Company's interpretation of the law at that time.
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company further analyzed tax liabilities associated with the deemed repatriation of cumulative earnings from foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the analysis, the Company has recorded a non-cash tax expense of approximately $15 million, consisting of a $25 million one-time transition tax liability, offset by $10 million of remeasured net operating losses. The amounts recorded are estimates and are subject to change as the Company continues to analyze the impact of TCJA provisions.
The income tax provision for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2018
also incorporates the TCJA's changes to deductions for executive compensation and meals and entertainment. Other provisions include global intangible low-tax income ("GILTI"), base erosion anti-avoidance tax ("BEAT"), foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") and an interest expense deduction limitation. As of
September 30, 2018
, the Company estimates no short-to-medium term tax liability resulting from GILTI, BEAT, FDII, or the interest limitation. These estimates are based on the Company's current interpretation of the TCJA. These assumptions and interpretations may change as as the interpretation of the TCJA evolves and as additional clarification and implementation guidance are issued.
Changes in the estimates described above could potentially affect the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts.

The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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 rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and

administrative costs. As of
September 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the Company's liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters is
$439 million
and
$427 million
, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that the Company may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. 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 the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
Other Matters
From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, typically involving operational issues common to the vehicle rental business, including claims by employees and former employees, and governmental investigations. The Company has summarized below the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party to during the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2018
or the period after
September 30, 2018
, but before the filing of this Report on Form 10‑Q.
In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation
- In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings (as defined in the Company's 2017 Form 10‑K) and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Old Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it was not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, this case was assigned to a new federal judge in the District of New Jersey, and Old Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations, named additional current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period such that it was alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. Plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint to add a new plaintiff on March 1, 2016. Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016, and plaintiff filed its opposition to same. The court granted Old Hertz Holdings' motion to dismiss with prejudice on April 27, 2017. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and filed their Initial Brief in November 2017. Old Hertz Holdings - joined by two of the individual defendants along with a separate brief by one of the individual defendants - filed Opposition Briefs in January 2018. The plaintiffs’ Reply Brief was thereafter filed in February of 2018. Oral arguments were held on June 12, 2018. On September 20, 2018, the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the fourth amended complaint with prejudice.
Governmental Investigations
- In June 2014, the Company was advised by the staff of the New York Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC. In addition, starting in June 2016 the Company has had communications with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. The investigations and communications generally involve the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with all requests related to the foregoing. The Company is engaged in discussions with the enforcement staff of the New York office of
33

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited
the SEC ("Staff") to resolve certain matters under investigation. Any proposed settlement that might result from discussions with the Staff would be subject to additional reviews and approvals, including acceptance and authorization by the SEC. The Company cannot predict the ultimate timing or the final terms of a possible settlement, including any settlement amount. The Company has accrued a loss contingency of
$13.6 million
which is its best estimate of probable loss based on current circumstances. It is possible that the final settlement could result in losses that exceed the accrual and could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Additionally, the Company previously identified certain activities in Brazil that raised issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and other federal and local laws, which the Company self-reported to appropriate government entities. The matters associated with the FCPA and other federal matters have been resolved without further action by the applicable U.S. government entities. The Company is continuing its cooperation with respect to matters under local Brazilian laws. The Company has accrued a loss contingency with respect to the ongoing Brazil-related matters that is not material. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome with respect to the ongoing matters in Brazil could result in losses that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
French Road Tax
- The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several vehicle rental companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions where it is established and where the road tax payable with respect to those vehicles is lower than the road tax payable in the jurisdictions where the vehicles will primarily be used. In respect of a period in 2005, the Company has unsuccessfully appealed the French Tax assessment to the highest Administrative court in France. In respect of a period from 2003 to 2005, following an adverse judgment, the Company appealed the French Tax Authority’s assessment to the Civil Court of Appeal. In March 2017, the Company received an adverse judgment in the 2003 -2005 road tax appeal from the Civil Court of Appeal. The Company appealed this decision to the Supreme Civil Court in May 2017. In December 2017, the French Tax Authority issued an assessment for registration tax for the year 2014 and the Company submitted a rebuttal to the French Tax Authority in February 2018. The Company began reserving for this matter in 2015 and assesses the reserve on a quarterly basis as part of the financial statements close process.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company maintains an internal compliance program through which it from time to time identifies other potential violations of laws and regulations applicable to the Company. When the Company identifies such matters, the Company conducts an internal investigation and otherwise cooperates with governmental authorities, as appropriate.
The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including certain of those described above, where the Company has 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. These matters are 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 above, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its 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 the accompanying consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed 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. Specifically, the Company has 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 the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities 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 such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.

$425 million
with an expiration in June 2018 (the "2017 Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin.

$425 million
with an expiration in June 2019 (the "2018 Master Loan") where amounts outstanding under the 2017 Master Loan were transferred to the 2018 Master Loan. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of
September 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, there was
$115 million
and
$107 million

Other Relationships
In January 2018, Hertz entered into a Master Motor Vehicle Lease and Management Agreement (the “767 Lease Agreement”) pursuant to which Hertz granted 767 Auto Leasing LLC (“767”), an entity affiliated with the Icahn Group, the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz at rates aligned with the rates at which Hertz sells vehicles to third parties. Hertz will lease the vehicles, purchased by 767 under the 767 Lease Agreement or from third parties, under a mutually developed fleet plan and Hertz will manage, service, repair, sell and maintain those leased vehicles on behalf of 767. Hertz will rent the leased vehicles to drivers of TNC, including Lyft, Inc. drivers, from rental counters within locations leased or owned by affiliates of 767, including locations operated under a master lease agreement with The Pep Boys - Manny, Joe & Jack. The 767 Lease Agreement has an initial term of 18 months and is subject to automatic six-month renewals thereafter, unless terminated by either party (with or without cause) prior to the start of any such six-month renewal. 767’s payment obligations under the 767 Lease Agreement are guaranteed by American Entertainment Properties Corp. ("American"), an entity affiliated with Mr. Icahn. American contributed
$15 million
and
$25 million
to 767 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold approximately
1,000
and
1,600
vehicles, respectively, to 767 for approximately
$11 million
and
$18 million
, respectively.
The Company is entitled to
25%
of the profit from the rental of the leased vehicles, as specified in the 767 Lease Agreement, which is variable and based primarily on the rental revenue, less certain costs, such as depreciation, licensing and maintenance expenses. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 767 due to its power to direct the activities of 767 that most significantly impact 767's economic performance and the Company's obligation to absorb
25%
of 767's gains/losses. Accordingly, 767 is consolidated by the Company as a VIE.

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information - Hertz
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of
September 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the
three
and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
and the Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
of (a) The Hertz Corporation, ("Parent”); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Eliminations"); and of (e) Hertz on a consolidated basis.
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. 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 Facilities and Senior Second Priority Secured Notes, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors. In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Hertz has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Management of Hertz does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to Hertz's investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
During the preparation of the condensed consolidating financial information of The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, it was determined that there were classification errors within the investing section of the statements of cash flows that resulted in overstatement of capital contributions to subsidiaries and return of capital from subsidiaries for the Parent and classification errors within the financing section of the statements of cash flows that resulted in overstatement of capital contributions received from parent and payment of dividends and returns of capital for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The overstatement was
$164 million
for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
. The errors, which the Company has determined are not material to this disclosure, had no impact to cash from investing activities for the Parent or cash from financing activities of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and had no impact to any cash flows of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. These errors are eliminated in

Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global's assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global's revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects, and differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we," "our," "us," and the "Company" in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our
2017
Form 10‑K and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2018
(this "Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
In this MD&A we refer to certain key metrics and non-GAAP measures, including the following:
•
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) - important to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and 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.
•
Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
•
Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD," also referred to as "pricing") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.
•
Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("Average Vehicles" or "fleet capacity").
•
Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and Vehicle Utilization. Transaction Days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period.
•
Vehicle Utilization - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher vehicle utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenue.

Key metrics and non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above key metrics and non-GAAP measures are defined, and the non-GAAP measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.
OUR COMPANY
Hertz Global was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.
We operate our vehicle rental business globally through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 10,200 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use vehicle rental companies and our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized globally, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We have an extensive network of rental locations in the U.S. and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain one of the leading airport vehicle rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at major airports in Europe where data regarding vehicle rental concessionaire activity is available. We are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary.
OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. In addition to vehicle rental, we provide comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to adjust fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs, over time to meet expectations of market demand. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles 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, including residual values. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.
Our total revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:
•
Vehicle rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with value-added services associated with vehicle rentals, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage, parking and other products and fees, ancillary revenues associated with the retail vehicle sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees are less than 2% of total revenues each period); and
•
All other operations revenues - revenues from vehicle leasing and fleet management services by our Donlen business and other business activities.
Our expenses primarily consist of:
•
Direct vehicle and operating expense ("DOE") - primarily wages and related benefits, commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others, facility, self-insurance and reservation

costs and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs;
•
Depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such vehicles);
•
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A"), which includes costs for information technology and finance transformation programs; and
•
Interest expense, net.
Our Business Segments
We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
•
U.S. Rental Car ("U.S. RAC") - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S.;
•
International Rental Car ("International RAC") - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, internationally; and
•
All Other Operations - Comprised primarily of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities.
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have Corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.
Fleet
We periodically review and adjust the mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet in an effort to optimize the mix of vehicles. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on economic demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. We dispose of our non-program vehicles via auction, dealer-direct and our retail locations. Non-program vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for value-added revenue, such as warranty, financing and title fees. We adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.
Seasonality
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer peak ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, vehicles 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 utilization initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Generally, between 70% and 75% of our annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining costs are fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

Adoption of the new Revenue Standard
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue standard, Topic 606, which resulted in a net increase to beginning accumulated deficit in the amount of $189 million related to the cumulative effect of our loyalty program. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact to our results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. See the

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net
decrease
d
$28 million
, or
4%
, primarily due to a
$41 million
decrease
in our U.S. RAC segment resulting from favorable acquisition prices and residual values, and opportunistic sales of certain models. The decrease was partially offset by an
$11 million
increase
in our All Other Operations segment.
SG&A
increase
d
$48 million
, or
22%
, in the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
2017
, primarily due to an increase of $63 million in marketing, information technology and finance transformation program costs, litigation charges, including the loss contingency related to the previously disclosed accounting review and investigation, incentive compensation and other expenses, offset by a $15 million decrease due to labor related matters and other expenses. The above changes are primarily related to our U.S. RAC segment and corporate operations.
Vehicle interest expense, net
increase
d
$25 million
, or
28%
, in the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
2017
primarily due to higher market interest rates, increased margins on bank funded facilities and an increase in debt levels due to higher average fleet.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net
decrease
d $14 million, or 16%, in the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
2017
, primarily due to decreased outstanding non-vehicle debt balances, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates primarily associated with a higher LIBOR.
We had other income of
$7 million
for the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
$12 million
in the
third
quarter of
2017
. Other income in 2018 was primarily comprised of a pre-tax gain on marketable securities. Other income in 2017 was primarily comprised of a pre-tax gain on the sale of our Brazil Operations recorded in the International RAC segment and a pre-tax gain resulting from a return of capital from an equity method investment.
The effective tax rate in the
third
quarter of
2018
was (
23%
) compared to (
35%
) in the
third
quarter of
2017
. We recorded a tax provision of
$42 million
in the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
$50 million
in the
third
quarter of
2017
. The effective income tax rate and related tax provision were lower primarily due to the reduced corporate tax rate as a result of the TCJA, tax credits, and the composition of earnings by jurisdictions, partially offset by a net provisional amount of $15 million for the one-time transition tax related to TCJA. The provisional amount for the one-time transition tax related to TCJA may change in the fourth quarter of 2018 once we finalize our calculation.
Adjusted Pre-tax Income was
$242 million
in the
third
quarter of
2018
compared to
$189 million
in the
third
quarter of
2017
. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net
decrease
d
$124 million
, or
6%
, primarily due to a
$183 million
decrease
in our U.S. RAC segment resulting from decreases in losses on disposal of revenue earning vehicles due to stabilization in residual values and a 14 percentage point increase in dispositions through dealer direct and retail sales channels. The
decrease
was partially offset by an
increase
of
$31 million
and
$28 million
in our International RAC and All Other Operations segments, respectively. Excluding a
$16 million
fx impact, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for our International RAC segment
increase

$15 million
resulting from higher per vehicle depreciation rates. The increase in All Other Operations was due to an increase in Donlen's leasing volume.
SG&A
increase

The above changes are primarily related to the U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, and our corporate operations. Excluding the
$10 million
fx impact, SG&A for International RAC
increase

$6 million
.
Vehicle interest expense, net
increase
d
$94 million
, or
39%
, in the
nine months
of
2018
compared to
2017
primarily due to higher market interest rates, an increase in margins on bank funded facilities, an increase in debt levels due to higher average fleet and an increase in loss on extinguishment of debt.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net
decrease
d $6 million, or 3%, in the
nine months
of
2018
compared to
2017
, primarily due to decreased outstanding non-vehicle debt balances during the period and a decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates largely attributable to a higher LIBOR and the issuance of our Senior Second Priority Secured Notes in June 2017.
We had intangible asset impairments of
$86 million
related to the Dollar Thrifty tradename in the
nine months
of
2017
with no comparable charges in the
nine months
of 2018.
We had other income of
$36 million
in the
nine months
of
2018
compared to other expense of
$19 million
in the
nine months
of
2017
. Other income in 2018 was primarily comprised of a
$21 million
pre-tax gain on marketable securities and a
$6 million
legal settlement received in the second quarter related to an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, which relate to our corporate operations and U.S. RAC segment, respectively. Other expense in 2017 was primarily comprised of a $30 million impairment of an equity method investment which was partially offset by a pre-tax gain resulting from a return of capital from an equity method investment, and a pre-tax gain on the sale of our Brazil Operations.
The effective tax rate in the
nine months
of
2018
was
8%
compared to
27%
in the
nine months
of

. We recorded a tax benefit of
$10 million
in the
nine months
of
2018
compared to
$107 million
in the
nine months
of
2017
. The effective income tax rate and related tax benefit were lower primarily due to the reduced corporate tax rate as a result of the TCJA, reduced corporate losses, and the composition of earnings by jurisdictions, partially offset by a net provisional amount of $15 million for the one-time transition tax liability related to TCJA. The provisional amount for the one-time transition tax related to TCJA may change in the fourth quarter of 2018 once we finalize our calculation.
Adjusted Pre-tax Income was

increase in our off airport business and a
2%
increase in our airport business. Off airport volume increased primarily due to growth in TNC, insurance replacement and retail rentals. Airport volume increased due to growth in corporate contracted rentals. Off airport revenues comprised
31%
of total revenues for the segment in the
third
quarter of
2018
as compared to
28%
in the
third
quarter of

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. Depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning vehicles are adjusted on certain vehicles in our vehicle rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning vehicles are sold based on the expected hold period for the vehicles. The change in estimate, based on the review completed for U.S. RAC during the
third
quarter of
2018
, resulted in a reduction to depreciation expense of
$30 million

2018
rate change reflects favorable acquisition prices and residual values, and opportunistic sales of certain models. The change in estimate, based on the review completed for U.S. RAC during the

•
Increased transportation expense of $9 million driven by higher rates from third-party transportation providers and additional trucking for pre-owned vehicle purchases.
•
Increased damage expense of $7 million related to weather events.
•
Increased fuel expense of $7 million due to higher market fuel prices compared to 2017.

in the
third
quarter of

compared to
$131 million
in the

. The
$72 million
year over year favorable variance was primarily due to the impact of increased revenues and decreased depreciation expense on our revenue earning vehicles. The favorable variance was partially offset by the increase in DOE and SG&A and an
$18 million
increase
in vehicle related interest expense due to higher market interest rates, increased margins on bank funded facilities and an increase in debt levels due to higher average fleet.

Donlen had favorable re
sults
in the
third
quarter and
nine months
of 2018 as compared to the
third
quarter and
nine months
of 2017. Donlen units under lease increased 4% in the
third
quarter of 2018 versus 2017 and increased 3% in the
nine months
of 2018 versus 2017. Growth in units under lease, as well as a richer mix of vehicles, resulted in increased revenues and depreciation expense. Additionally, there were increased charges related to new leases entered into beginning in 2017 with fewer comparable leases entered into in 2018, resulting in a decrease in DOE. The decrease in overall average vehicles in the
third
quarter and
nine months
of 2018 as compared to the
third
quarter and
nine months
of 2017 was due to a reduction in non-lease units in our maintenance management programs which drive a lower revenue per unit when compared to lease units under these programs.

Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and premiums, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items. Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss) is important 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. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance, such as net income (loss) or income (loss) before income taxes. The contribution of our reportable segments to Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss) and reconciliation to the most comparable consolidated U.S. GAAP measure are presented below:

Transaction Days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period.
(c)
Average Vehicles are determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, Average Vehicles is used to calculate our Vehicle Utilization which represents the portion of our vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue. Vehicle Utilization is calculated by dividing total Transaction Days by Available Car Days. The calculation of Vehicle Utilization is shown in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.
As of
September 30, 2018
, we had
$761 million
of cash and cash equivalents and
$265 million
of restricted cash. Of these amounts,
$372 million
of cash and cash equivalents and
$47 million
of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. If not in the form of loan repayments, repatriation of some of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose us to additional taxes.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next twelve months.

During the
nine months
of
2018
, there was a
$33 million
decrease in cash outflows from working capital accounts period over period and an increase of cash inflows of
$7 million
from net income (loss), excluding non-cash and non-operating items. The change from working capital accounts was due to a
$123 million
increase in cash primarily driven by additional accruals for operational expenses, partially offset by a
$90 million
decrease in cash primarily from additional customer receivables and prepaid expense items, all of which were the result of increased rental volume during the period.
Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. We expended an additional
$1.4 billion
on revenue earning vehicles in 2018, primarily in the U.S. RAC operations, to increase the average fleet size and enrich the fleet mix.
Net financing cash inflows were
$2.3 billion
for the
nine months
of
2018
compared to
$2.1 billion
for the
nine months
of
2017
. The variance was primarily driven by an increase of $1.3 billion in net cash inflows in 2018 for vehicle debt related to our richer fleet mix and larger fleet size. Comparatively, in June 2017, we issued non-vehicle debt of $1.25 billion and repaid $250 million of 4.25% Senior Notes, with the remaining proceeds being included in restricted cash. Additionally, we had $120 million outstanding on the Senior RCF at September 30, 2017.
Cash Flows - Hertz Global

or

.
Financing
Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of vehicle and non-vehicle debt, the payment of operating expenses and capital projects and purchases of revenue earning vehicles to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of revenue earning vehicles, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets. Substantially all of our revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.
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. Our practice is to maintain sufficient total liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse effect on our operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions.
Refer to Part I, Item 1,
Note 6
, "
Debt
," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on our outstanding debt obligations and our borrowing capacity and availability under our revolving credit facilities as of
September 30, 2018
. Cash paid for interest during the
nine months
of 2018 was
$268 million
for interest on vehicle debt and
$171 million
for interest on non-vehicle debt. Cash paid for interest during the nine months of 2017 was
$212 million
for interest on vehicle debt and
$164 million
for interest on non-vehicle debt.

Approximately
$1.8 billion
of vehicle debt and
$16 million
of non-vehicle debt will mature during the twelve months following the issuance of this Report (the "next twelve months") and we will need to refinance a portion of the debt. We have reviewed the maturing debt obligations and determined that it is probable that we will be able, and have the intent, to repay or refinance these facilities at such times as we deem appropriate prior to their maturities. We believe that cash generated from operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.
Covenants
The indentures for the Senior Notes and the Senior Second Priority Secured 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.
Certain of our other debt instruments and credit facilities (including the Senior Facilities and the Letter of Credit Facility) 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, share repurchases or making other distributions), create liens,

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
The Senior RCF and the Letter of Credit Facility contain a financial maintenance covenant applicable to such facilities. Such covenant provides that Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreements governing such facilities (together, the "Senior Credit Agreement"), as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (the "Covenant Leverage Ratio"), may not exceed a ratio of
3.00
to
1.00
.
As of
September 30, 2018
, Hertz was in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio with a ratio of
1.50
to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Senior Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement, is a component of the calculation of the Covenant Leverage Ratio and is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not a measure of operating results, but instead is a measure used to determine compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio under the Senior Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined in the Senior Credit Agreement as consolidated net income plus the sum of income taxes, non-vehicle interest expense, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization expense, and non-cash charges or losses, as further adjusted for certain other items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Senior RCF and the Letter of Credit Facility, including add-backs for non-recurring, unusual or extraordinary charges, business optimization expenses or other restructuring charges or reserves.
Based on available liquidity from our expected operating results, the Senior RCF and other financing arrangements, Hertz expects to continue to be in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio for at least the next twelve months.

As previously disclosed, we identified a classification error in our first quarter 2017 statement of cash flows that we corrected in the second quarter of 2017 related to our former operations in Brazil. Correction of the error resulted in a $25 million decrease to revenue earning vehicles expenditures and proceeds from disposal of revenue earning vehicles for the first quarter of 2017 and a $25 million increase of revenue earning vehicles expenditures and proceeds from disposal of revenue earning vehicles for the second quarter of 2017 in the table above. These revisions had no impact on the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, there was no impact on 2017 net capital expenditures for revenue earning vehicles and no impact on the 2017 totals.

As previously disclosed, we revised our capital asset expenditures, non-vehicle for a correction of error related to intangible software assets for which no payment was made as of June 30, 2017. The correction resulted in a decrease in capital asset expenditures, non-vehicle of $13 million and $6 million for the first and second quarter of 2017, respectively. The cumulative error of $25 million was corrected in the third quarter of 2017. Accordingly, we revised our capital asset expenditures, non-vehicle for the third quarter of 2017 by a decrease of $19 million in the table above. These revisions had no impact on the 2017 totals.

We believe these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on Forms 10‑K, 10‑Q and 8‑K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2018, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of our 2017 Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we have taken, and continue to take, the actions described below to remediate our existing material weaknesses which have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Income Taxes
To address the material weakness associated with controls over the analysis and assessment of income tax effects related to non-recurring transactions, the provision for income taxes and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 management implemented quarterly control activities and enhanced and designed specific year-end control activities to assess the accounting for significant complex transactions and other tax related judgments.
To remediate our existing material weaknesses, we require additional time to complete the implementation of our remediation plans and demonstrate the effectiveness of our remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
