EXPLANATORY NOTE

As described in additional detail in the Explanatory Note to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 Form 10-K"), during the preparation of our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2014, misstatements were identified in our previous financial statements relating to the capitalization and timing of depreciation for certain non-fleet assets, allowances for doubtful accounts in Brazil, as well as other items. These misstatements, in combination with misstatements previously identified in the revision included in our 2013 10-K/A related to vehicle vendor allowances for marketing and misstatements related to the Brazil operations, resulted in the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee” and the “Board”), in consultation with our management, concluding on June 3, 2014 that our financial statements for 2011 should no longer be relied upon, and would require restatement.

On November 10, 2014, the Audit Committee, in consultation with our management, concluded that additional proposed adjustments arising out of the review were material to our 2012 and 2013 financial statements and that, as a result, our 2012 and 2013 financial statements also would require restatement. Those restated financial statements are included in Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Due to the length of the review of our historical financial statements, we were unable to file the 2014 Form 10-K until July 16, 2015. In the 2014 Form 10-K we restated our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, including the 2013 interim periods. In addition, we also included restated unaudited selected financial data for the year ended December 31, 2011. We also included in the 2014 Form 10-K the financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and management's discussion and analysis for the quarterly period then ended that would typically be disclosed in a Form 10-Q. We have not, and do not intend to file our Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014.

On November 9, 2015, the Company amended its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 (the "Form 10-Q/A"). The purpose of the amendment was to restate its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements to correct errors related to the depreciation of vehicles sold through the Company's retail locations. As a result of this error, depreciation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was overstated by $21 million and $18 million. The impact of this error to the three months ended March 31, 2015 was a $3 million understatement of depreciation expense which we deemed immaterial and therefore the amount has been reflected as an out of period adjustment in our restated results for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company corrected an error in direct operating expenses in the previously reported quarter that resulted in a $3 million overstatement of direct operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Management identified errors that impacted the second quarter 2015 balance sheet classification of tax accounts. As a result, as of June 30, 2015, prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred taxes on income, net, and accrued taxes, net, were understated by $26 million, $5 million and $21 million, respectively. Refer to Note 2, "Restatement" in the Form 10-Q/A for more information.

Note 1—Background

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Holdings," and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for Hertz Investors, Inc. which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), Hertz Holdings' primary operating company. The Company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HTZ".

In March 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved plans to separate Hertz Holdings into two independent, publicly traded companies. One of the companies will continue to operate the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly rental car businesses as well as Donlen; and the other will operate the Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation ("HERC"). The separation is planned to be in the form of a tax-free spin-off to Hertz Holdings' shareholders (the "HERC spin-off") and the Company expects to separate the businesses in a tax-efficient manner.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 16, 2015 (the "2014 Form 10-K").

In the 2014 Form 10-K, the Company filed its 2014 annual financial statements along with its restated annual financial statements for 2013 and 2012, as well as unaudited restated selected financial data for 2011. In lieu of filing quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2014, quarterly financial information and management's discussion and analysis for 2014 was included in the 2014 Form 10-K.

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

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hertz Holdings and its wholly and majority owned domestic and international subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in CAR Inc. and other immaterial investments 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 has identified various misstatements relating to prior period financial statements that it has corrected in the third quarter of 2015. The cumulative impact of the adjustments was a decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $18 million (of which $13 million relates to years prior to 2015) and a decrease to net earnings of approximately $13 million and is comprised of $4 million related to the accounting for the post-acquisition sale of land that was revalued

as part of the December 2005 acquisition, $4 million of additional accruals for the periods 2009 through 2014 resulting from concession audits at certain airport locations, a $4 million obligation to a jurisdiction for customer transaction fees, $3 million of additional write-offs of assets that were incorrectly capitalized and $3 million of other miscellaneous adjustments. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the items individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the misstatements were not material to any prior period and not material to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. As a result of this guidance, only disposals of a component that represent a strategic shift that have, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results will be reported as a discontinued operation. Expanded disclosures are required for discontinued operations and for individually significant components that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Adopted

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The guidance requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new guidance may be adopted on either a full or modified retrospective basis. As issued, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date of the guidance until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires that a performance target in a share-based payment award that affects vesting and that can be achieved after the requisite service period is completed is to be accounted for as a performance condition; therefore, compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved, and the amount of compensation cost recognized should be based on the portion of the service period fulfilled. The guidance is effective either prospectively or retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the concept of an event or transaction that is unusual in nature and occurs infrequently being treated as an extraordinary item. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has assessed the potential impacts from future adoption of this guidance and has determined that there will be no impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new guidance may be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be deferred and presented as an asset. The guidance is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance for customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This new guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Subsequent Measurement of Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, excluding inventory measured using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Current guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or market. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments for Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period of a business combination to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, rather than retrospectively. The guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3—Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisition

In February 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of certain Hertz-branded franchises, including existing fleets and contract and concession rights, for $87 million. The franchises acquired include on airport locations in Indianapolis, South Bend and Fort Wayne, Indiana and in Memphis, Tennessee, as well as several smaller off airport locations. The acquisition was part of a strategic decision to increase the number of Hertz-owned locations and capitalize on certain benefits of ownership not available under a franchise agreement.

The acquisition was accounted for utilizing the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase price of the reacquired franchises was allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price was allocated as follows:



(In millions)	U.S. Car Rental
Revenue earning equipment	$	71
Property and other equipment	6
Other intangible assets	9
Goodwill	1
Total	$	87

Divestitures

CAR Inc. Investment

In September 2015, the Company sold approximately 60 million shares of CAR Inc. common stock, a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for net proceeds of $100 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $56 million. The investment in CAR Inc. is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The sale of the shares reduced the Company's ownership interest from 16.1%, as of the date of the sale, to 13.6%.

(2)

Maturity reference is to the "expected final maturity date" as opposed to the subsequent "legal maturity date." The expected final maturity date is the date by which Hertz and investors in the relevant indebtedness expect the relevant indebtedness to be repaid, which in the case of the HFLF Medium Term Notes was based upon various assumptions made at the time of the pricing of such notes. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable.


(3)	RCFC U.S. ABS Program and the Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization represent fleet debt assumed in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition on November 19, 2012.

The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, so that its operations are unaffected by adverse financial market conditions. As of the third quarter 2015 financial statements, the Company reviewed the credit facilities that will mature within the next twelve months and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance the credit facilities before the expiration of such facilities.

Fleet Debt

RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes

Rental Car Finance Corp. ("RCFC"), a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz was the issuer under the RCFC U.S. ABS Program. In 2011, RCFC issued Series 2011-1 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $500 million and issued Series 2011-2 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $400 million (collectively, the "RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes"). In February 2015, the RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes were paid in full as scheduled in accordance with their terms.

HVF II U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes

In April 2015, Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP ("HVF II") issued the Series 2015-1 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, and Class C, or the “HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes”, collectively, in an aggregate principal amount of $780 million. The expected maturity of the HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes is March 2020. The HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes are comprised of $622 million aggregate principal amount of 2.73% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, $119 million aggregate principal amount of 3.52% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class B, and $39 million aggregate principal amount of 4.35% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class C. The net proceeds from the sale of the HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of HVF II's Series 2013-A Notes and HVF II's Series 2014-A Notes and (ii) to make loans to HVF for HVF to acquire or refinance vehicles to be leased to the Company or Dollar Thrifty for use in their daily rental operations.

Capitalized Leases

In May 2015, the U.K. Leveraged Financing was amended to provide for aggregate maximum leasing capacity (subject to asset availability) of up to £300 million during the peak season and at the same time amended and increased the ongoing core facility to £250 million.

European Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2015, Hertz Holdings Netherlands, B.V. ("HHN BV") amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to €340 million during the peak season, subject to borrowing base availability, for a seasonal commitment period through December 2015.

HFLF Medium Term Notes

In June 2015, Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP ("HFLF") issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2015-1 Floating Rate Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E, or the “HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes,” collectively. The net proceeds from the issuance of the HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of amounts then-outstanding under the HFLF Series 2014-1 Notes and the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes and (ii) to make loans to DNRS II LLC. The HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes are floating rate and carry an interest rate based upon a spread to one-month LIBOR. An affiliate of HFLF owns a portion of the obligation related to the Class E Notes as of September 30, 2015, therefore, $5 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation.

Canadian Securitizations

In September 2015, Hertz established a new securitization platform, the “Canadian Securitization”, designed to facilitate its financing activities relating to the vehicle fleet used by Hertz in the Canadian daily car rental operations of its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands. The lenders under the Canadian Securitization have been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in the Company's car rental operations in Canada and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles as well as certain other assets owned by the Hertz entities connected to the financing. TCL Funding Limited Partnership, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, or “Funding LP,” is the issuer under the Canadian Securitization. In connection with the establishment of the Canadian Securitization, in September 2015, Funding LP issued the Series 2015-A Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (the “Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes”) that provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of C$350 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis and a maturity date of January 2018. The net proceeds from the sale of the Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes were used to pay in full the then-outstanding Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization and the Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization and there are no longer any amounts outstanding under the Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization and the Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization.

HFLF Variable Funding Notes

In September 2015, the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes were upsized by $100 million providing for an aggregate maximum principal amount of the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes of $500 million (subject to borrowing base availability). In connection therewith, the maturity date of the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes was extended to September 2017.

See also Note 16, "Subsequent Events" regarding financing transactions occurring subsequent to the September 30, 2015 balance sheet date.

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2015, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $688 million. Of this amount, $675 million was issued under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility (together, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). As of September 30, 2015, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Cash Restrictions

Certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Fleet Debt facilities and the Like-Kind Exchange Program ("LKE Program"). As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with the Fleet Debt facilities was $223 million and $515 million, respectively. Restricted cash balances fluctuate based on the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles and could also be impacted by the occurrence of an amortization event (an event that results in the amortization of indebtedness prior to its expected maturity).

Special Purpose Entities

Substantially all of the revenue earning equipment 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 Corp., 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.

Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which the Company 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets of $605 million and $427 million, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities of $604 million and $426 million, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.

Financial Covenant Compliance

Under the terms of the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, the Company is not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Company to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

Waivers

Due to the Company's accounting restatement, investigation and remediation activities, the Company failed to file certain quarterly and annual reports and certain of its subsidiaries failed to file statutory financial statements within certain time periods set forth in the documentation of various of its (and/or its special purpose subsidiaries') financing facilities which resulted in the occurrence of various potential and/or actual defaults and potential amortization events under certain of such financing facilities.

In connection with certain refinancings consummated in October and November 2014, the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries obtained waivers, or extensions of waivers, under certain facilities and the Australian Securitization and various counterparties in respect of derivative transactions, in each case, through June 30, 2015.

In December 2014, Hertz entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Amendment and Waiver”) relating to the Senior Term Facility. The waiver set forth in the Amendment and Waiver deferred Hertz’s requirement to furnish certain financial statements within certain time periods set forth in the documentation of the Senior Term Facility, as well as waives

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unaudited

defaults arising directly or indirectly from (1) the delay in providing such financial statements and (2) the restatement of Hertz’s 2012 and 2013 financial statements.

The Amendment and Waiver increased the interest rates payable on the term loans and credit linked deposits during the period from December 15, 2014 through but excluding the date on which Hertz furnished all financial statements then due to be delivered under the terms of the Senior Term Facility. During such period, (A) the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche B-1 Term Loans bore interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 1.00% plus a borrowing margin of 3.00% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 2.00% per annum, and (B) the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 0.75% plus a borrowing margin of 2.75% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.75% per annum. From and after the date on which Hertz has furnished all financial statements then due to be delivered under the terms of the Senior Term Facility, (A) the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche B-1 Term Loans will bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 1.00% plus a borrowing margin of 2.75% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.75% per annum, and (B) the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 0.75% plus a borrowing margin of 2.25% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.25% per annum.

In May 2015, the Company obtained waivers from the requisite noteholders of its Senior Notes to amend and waive (the “Senior Notes Amendments and Waiver”) certain provisions of the indentures pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued (the “Senior Notes Indentures”). The Senior Notes Amendments and Waiver amend, effective as of March 30, 2014, the reporting covenant in each of the Senior Notes Indentures to eliminate any obligation for the Company (or HHN BV as applicable) to deliver to the trustee or the noteholders or file with the SEC (i) its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, in each case prior to September 30, 2015 and (ii) its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Senior Notes Amendments and Waiver, holders also waived any default or event of default under the relevant Senior Notes Indenture that may occur or exist as a result of or in connection with the Company not filing any amendments to previously filed SEC reports or the failure to timely deliver to the trustee or the noteholders, or file with the SEC, the delayed SEC reports.

In May 2015, the Company and HVF obtained waivers from the requisite noteholders of the U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes to amend and waive (the “HVF Amendments and Waiver”) certain provisions of the operating lease between the Company and HVF that secures the U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes (the “HVF Legacy Lease”). The HVF Amendments and Waiver amend the HVF Legacy Lease, effective as of March 30, 2014, to eliminate the requirement to furnish (or cause to be furnished) the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014 under the HVF Legacy Lease and in connection with the foregoing the noteholders waived any potential event of default or event of default under the HVF Legacy Lease that may occur or exist as a result, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the failure to furnish (or cause to be furnished) such quarterly reports.

In June 2015, HHN BV obtained waivers from the requisite noteholders of its European Fleet Notes to amend and waive (the “European Fleet Notes Amendments and Waivers”) certain provisions of the indenture pursuant to which the European Fleet Notes were issued (the “European Fleet Notes Indenture”). The European Fleet Notes Amendments and Waiver amend, effective as of March 30, 2014, the reporting covenant in the European Fleet Notes Indenture to eliminate any obligation for the Company (or HHN BV as applicable) to deliver to the trustee or the noteholders or file with the SEC (i) its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, in each case prior to September 30, 2015 and (ii) its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Senior Notes Amendments and Waiver, holders also waived any default or event of default under the European Fleet Notes Indenture that may occur or exist as a result of or in connection with the Company not filing any amendments to previously filed SEC reports or the failure to timely deliver to the trustee or the noteholders, or file with the SEC, the delayed SEC reports.

In June 2015, the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries obtained extensions of previously obtained waivers under the Senior ABL Facility, HVF II U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, U.K. Leveraged Financing, our U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, and various derivative transactions. Such lenders permanently waived any of the aforementioned events arising from the failure to file such financial information within the required time periods. The waivers also facilitated the Company filing a comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014, including audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 and unaudited financial statements of Hertz for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, to satisfy its 2014 financial statement delivery obligations under such facilities. In addition, the lenders under such facilities have waived any of the aforementioned events that could arise from any restatement of annual and quarterly financial statements previously delivered by the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries under such facilities.

On July 16, 2015, the Company filed its 2014 Form 10-K and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015. As a result, any potential and/or actual defaults and potential amortization events ceased to exist and were deemed to have been cured for all purposes of the related transaction documents.

Note 6—Employee Retirement Benefits

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company amended the Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan to permanently discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. The Company anticipates that, while compensation credits will no longer be provided under the plan after 2014 for affected participants, interest credits will continue to be credited on existing participant account balances under the plan until benefits are distributed and service will continue to be recognized for vesting and retirement eligibility requirements.

The Company also increased employer contributions under the Company’s qualified 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Effective January 1, 2015, eligible participants under the 401(k) Plan receive a matching employer contribution to their 401(k) Plan account equal to (i) 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions made by such participant and (ii) 50% of the next 2% of employee contributions, with the total amount of such matching employer contribution to be completely vested, subject to applicable limits under the United States Internal Revenue Code. Certain eligible participants under the 401(k) Plan also receive additional employer contribution amounts to their 401(k) Plan account depending on their years of service and age. The Company reserves the right to change its benefit offerings, at any time, in its discretion.

The following table sets forth the net periodic pension expense:

The Company's policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time, the Company makes contributions beyond those legally required. The Company made no cash contributions to its U.S. qualified pension plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made cash contributions of $8 million and $22 million, respectively. The Company does not anticipate making cash contributions to its U.S. qualified pension plan during the remainder of 2015.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made benefit payments to its U.S. non-qualified pension plans of $1 million and $17 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made benefit payments to its U.S. non-qualified pension plans of $3 million and $7 million, respectively. The Company made a $3 million discretionary contribution to its United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan (the "U.K. Plan") during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

On October 22, 2014, the Company amended two non-qualified, unfunded pension plans. These two plans are The Hertz Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan, or “BEP,” and The Hertz Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or “SERP II.” Effective as of December 31, 2014, the Company permanently discontinued future benefit accruals and participation under the BEP and the SERP II. Service will continue to be recognized for vesting and retirement eligibility requirements under the BEP and SERP II.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted 3,263,654 non-qualified stock options to certain executives and employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.34; 855,305 restricted stock units ("RSUs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of $20.95 and 1,375,885 performance stock units ("PSUs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.22 under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan with vesting terms of three to five years.

A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under all plans, including the cost of stock options, RSUs and PSUs, is as follows:

Note 9—Tangible Asset Impairments and Asset Write-downs

Impairments

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for long lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. The Company uses market and income approaches to value the long-lived assets, including inputs such as expected cash flows and recent comparable transactions.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company deemed a building in its U.S. Car Rental segment to be held for sale. The Company performed an impairment assessment and recorded a charge of $5 million which is included in other (income) expense, net in the Company's statement of operations.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a $3 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a held for sale corporate asset. The charge is included in other (income) expense, net in the Company's statement of operations. The asset was sold in April 2015.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company deemed its former Dollar Thrifty headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is part of the U.S. Car Rental segment, as held for sale. The Company performed an impairment assessment and recorded a charge of $6 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's statement of operations.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company deemed its previous corporate headquarters building to be held for sale. Based on the impairment assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $13 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's statement of operations.

Asset Write-downs

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $11 million in charges associated with U.S. Car Rental service equipment and assets deemed to have no future use, of which $4 million is included in direct operating expense and $7 million is included in other (income) expense, net in the Company's statement of operations.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company terminated a business relationship. As a result, the Company performed an analysis of the assets associated with the terminated business relationship and wrote off assets in the amount of $10 million which are included in direct operating expense in the Company's statement of operations.

Note 10—Taxes on Income (Loss)

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 23% and 27%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 30% and 42%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2015 is expected to be approximately 28%.

The Company recorded a tax provision of $70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The change was the result of higher pre-tax income and composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter of 2015 also includes a $23 million net benefit due to a release of a foreign valuation allowance and a transfer pricing adjustment.

The Company recorded a tax provision of $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $109 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The change was the result of the composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the period. The nine months of 2015 also includes a $23 million net benefit due to a release of a foreign valuation allowance and a transfer pricing adjustment.

Note 11—Financial Instruments

The Company has risk exposures that it has historically used financial instruments to manage. None of the instruments have been designated in a hedging relationship as of September 30, 2015.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company uses interest rate caps and other instruments to manage the mix of floating and fixed-rate debt.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company’s objective in managing exposure to currency fluctuations is to limit the exposure of certain cash flows and earnings from changes associated with currency exchange rate changes through the use of various derivative contracts. The Company experiences currency risks in its global operations as a result of various factors including intercompany local currency denominated loans, rental operations in various currencies and purchasing fleet in various currencies.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments:

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company’s cash equivalents primarily consist of money market accounts which the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets.

Investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of various mutual funds. The valuation of these securities is based on pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

The following table summarizes the ending balances of the Company's cash equivalents and investments.

Note 13—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Legal Proceedings

Public Liability and Property Damage

The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has 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 the Company. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on the Company's 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 administrative costs. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $391 million and $385 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. The Company has summarized below the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party to during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or the period after September 30, 2015 but before the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q.

Concession Fee Recoveries - In October 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, or “Enterprise,” was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Enterprise became a defendant in a separate action which they have now settled.) The Sobel case is a consumer 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 during the class period. In October 2014, the court entered final judgment against the Company and directed Hertz to pay the class approximately $42 million in restitution and $11 million in prejudgment interest, and to pay attorney's fees of $3.1 million with an additional $3.1 million to be paid from the restitution fund. In December 2014, Hertz timely filed an appeal of that final judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the plaintiffs cross appealed the court's judgment seeking to challenge the lower court's ruling that Hertz did not deceive or mislead the class members. The matter has now been fully briefed by the parties. No oral argument date has been set. The Company continues to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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 Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleges that 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. Plaintiffs seek 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, Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Hertz Holdings' motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiffs were granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it is not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and makes 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

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unaudited

judge in the District of New Jersey and Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted 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, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint includes additional allegations and expands the putative class period such that it is alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. On November 4, Hertz Holdings filed its motion to dismiss. Hertz Holdings believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against the complaint, but litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to Hertz Holdings. However, Hertz Holdings is currently unable to estimate the range of these possible losses, but they could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Ryanair - In July 2015, Ryanair Ltd. ("Ryanair") filed a complaint against Hertz Europe Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice of the United Kingdom alleging breach of contract in connection with Hertz Europe Limited’s termination of its car hire agreement with Ryanair following a contractual dispute with respect to Ryanair’s agreement to begin using third party ticket distributors. The complaint seeks damages, interest and costs, together with attorney fees. The Company believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against these allegations, but litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. The Company has established a reserve for this matter which is not material. However, it is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to the Company, accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

The Company intends to assert that it has meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.

Governmental Investigations - In June 2014, the Company was advised by the staff of the New York Regional Office of the SEC that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information regarding the same events. The investigations generally involve the restatements included in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with both the SEC and state requests. Due to the stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material.

French Antitrust - In February 2015, the French Competition Authority issued a Statement of Objections claiming that several car rental companies, including Hertz and certain of its subsidiaries, violated French competition law by receiving historic market information from twelve French airports relating to the car rental companies operating at those airports and by engaging in a concerted practice relating to train station surcharges. Hertz believes that it has valid defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations, but, due to the early stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material.

French Road Tax - The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several rental car companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions 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. The Company appealed the French Tax Authority’s assessment to the Administrative Court of Appeals of Douai, which rejected the appeal in December 2013. The Company has appealed that decision to the Counsel d’Etat, the highest administrative court in France. The Company is also pursuing civil litigation on the tax assessment in the Civil Court of Beauvais. In the third quarter of 2015, following an adverse decision against another industry participant in a similar action, we established an additional reserve with respect to this matter of approximately $24 million.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unaudited

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. 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 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 Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Indemnification Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the Company's indemnification obligations as compared to those disclosed in Note 14, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Note 14—Segment Information

The Company has identified four reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by its operating segments and the geographic areas in which its operating segments conduct business, as follows:


•	U.S. Car Rental - rental of cars, crossovers and light trucks, as well as ancillary products and services, in the United States and consists of the Company's United States operating segment;

•

International Car Rental - rental of cars, crossovers and light trucks, as well as ancillary products and services, internationally and consists of the Company's Europe and Other International operating segments, which are aggregated into a reportable segment based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products and services, customers, delivery methods and general regulatory environments;


•	Worldwide Equipment Rental - rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment and consists of the Company's worldwide equipment rental operating segment; and


•	All Other Operations - includes the Company's Donlen operating segment which provides fleet leasing and management services and is not considered a separate reportable segment in accordance with applicable accounting standards, together with other business activities, such as its claim management services.

Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income before income taxes plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important because it allows management to assess operational performance of its business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess the Company's operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally.

HVF II

In October 2015, HVF II issued the Series 2015-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (the “HVF II Series 2015-2 Notes”) and Series 2015-3 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (the “HVF II Series 2015-3 Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $636 million. The expected maturities of the HVF II Series 2015-2 Notes and the HVF II Series 2015-3 Notes are September 2018 and September 2020, respectively. The HVF II Series 2015-2 Notes are comprised of approximately $190 million aggregate principal amount of 2.02% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $46 million aggregate principal amount of 2.96% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $14 million aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C and $15 million aggregate principal amount of 4.93% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. The HVF II Series 2015-3 Notes are comprised of approximately $265 million aggregate principal amount of 2.67% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $65 million aggregate principal amount of 3.71% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $20 million aggregate principal amount of 4.44% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C and $21 million aggregate principal amount of 5.33% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. An affiliate of HVF II purchased the Class D Notes of each such series, therefore, $36 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation. The net proceeds from the sale of the HVF II Series 2015-2 Notes and HVF II Series 2015-3 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of HVF II's Series 2013-A Notes and HVF II's Series 2014-A Notes and (ii) to make loans to Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, to acquire or refinance vehicles.

European Securitization

In October 2015, certain of Hertz’s foreign subsidiaries entered into an amendment agreement pursuant to which certain terms of the European Securitization were amended. The amendment provides for, among other things, an extension of the maturity of the European Securitization from October 2016 to October 2017.

Sale of HERC France and Spain Businesses

Due to a pending sale, the Company's HERC France and Spain businesses were held for sale at September 30, 2015, as more fully described in Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures". On October 30, 2015, the Company finalized the sale recognizing a pre-tax gain of approximately $45 million.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in the 2014 Form 10-K filed on July 16, 2015 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, 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 various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental 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 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 Non-GAAP measures, including the following:

•

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income - 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.


•	Total Revenue Per Day ("Total RPD") - important to management and investors as it represents a 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.


•	Revenue Per Available Car Day ("RACD") - important to management and investors as it represents a 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 and provides a measure of revenue production relative to overall capacity.

•

Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days. It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and fleet efficiency. 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. Late in the third quarter of 2015 the Company fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, Hertz determined that there was an impact to the calculation. The impact to the third quarter of 2015 is negligible, however Hertz expects that transaction days for the US RAC segment will increase by approximately 1% prospectively relative to the historic calculation.


•	Fleet Efficiency - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our car rental fleet that is being used to generate revenues relative to the total amount of available fleet capacity. Higher fleet efficiency means more of the fleet is being utilized to generate revenue.

•

Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, is one of our largest expenses for the car 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 fleet and facilitates comparison with other participants in the car rental industry.


•	Dollar Utilization - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our equipment rental revenue earning equipment, including additional capitalized refurbishment costs (with the basis for refurbished assets reset at the refurbishment date), that is being used to generate revenues relative to the total amount of available equipment fleet capacity.

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


•	Time Utilization - important to management and investors as it measures the extent to which the equipment rental fleet is on rent compared to total operated fleet and is an efficiency measurement utilized by participants in the equipment rental industry.

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 Non-GAAP measures are defined and 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 and its predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We operate our car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands from approximately 10,055 corporate and franchisee locations in North America and Europe, as well as Africa, Asia, Australia, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use car rental companies and our Hertz brand has approximately 8,590 corporate and franchisee locations in approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,320 corporate and franchisee locations in 71 countries and our Firefly brand has approximately 145 corporate and franchisee locations in 22 countries. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We have an extensive network of rental locations in the United States, or "U.S.," and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain one of the leading airport car rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at approximately 130 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and where data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. Our equipment rental business is operated through the Hertz Equipment Rental brand from more than 350 branches in the U.S., Canada, China, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as through our international franchises. In addition to car rental and equipment rental businesses, we provide fleet leasing and management services through our Donlen subsidiary.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing of cars through our Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands and equipment through our Hertz Equipment Rental brand. In addition to car rental and equipment rental businesses, we provide fleet leasing and management services through our Donlen subsidiary. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment, the related ownership cost of equipment and other operating costs. 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.

Our strategy includes optimization of our on airport operations, selected openings of new off airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.

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

•

Car rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated car 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 ancillary products associated with car rentals, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage, parking and other products and fees, ancillary products associated with the retail car sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees;


•	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

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


•	All other operations revenues - revenues from fleet leasing and management services and other business activities.

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, net 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; and


•	Interest expense, net.

Our Business Segments

We have identified four 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. Car Rental - Rental of cars, crossovers and light trucks, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, in the U.S.;


•	International Car Rental - Rental of cars, crossovers and light trucks, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, internationally;


•	Worldwide Equipment Rental - Rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment; and


•	All Other Operations - Comprised of our Donlen business, which provides fleet leasing and management services, and other business activities, such as our claim management services.

In addition to the above reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate") which includes general corporate assets and expenses and certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt). We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.

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. More than half of our typical 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. 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.

2015 Operating Highlights

Highlights of our business and financial performance in 2015 and key factors influencing our GAAP results include:


•	During the quarter, we monetized a portion of our investment in the common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, by selling approximately 60 million shares for net proceeds of $100 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $56 million.


•	We have successfully executed on our previously announced fleet refresh strategy in the U.S. Car Rental segment. The fleet has been substantially renewed, with approximately 335,000 model year 2015 vehicles added to the fleet through September 30, 2015. The completion of this refresh has resulted in an improvement of approximately 70% in the mix of vehicles under 30,000 miles;


•	We sold 69% and 85% more non-program cars in our U.S. Car Rental segment in the three and nine months of 2015, respectively, compared with the three and nine months of 2014;

•

Total revenue for the U.S. Car Rental segment for the third quarter of 2015 decreased by 2%. This decline was driven primarily by a 2% reduction in Total RPD, predominantly driven by lower rental rates resulting from competitive pressure in the industry and lower fuel revenues, while transaction days remained flat period over period. Total revenue for the U.S. Car Rental segment for the nine months of 2015 decreased by 2%. This decline was driven primarily by a 1% reduction in transaction days and a 2% reduction in Total RPD, predominantly driven by lower rental rates resulting from competitive pressure in the industry and lower fuel revenues;


•	Net depreciation per unit per month in the U.S. Car Rental segment was up 1% to $267 from $265 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus 2014 and down 1% to $267 from $270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus 2014;


•	Excluding the impact of foreign currency, results in the International Car Rental segment are strong for the three and nine months of 2015, as compared to 2014, with increases in revenues, transactions days and Total RPD and decreases in direct operating expenses and depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charge, net;


•	On a constant currency basis, net depreciation per unit per month in the International Car Rental segment was down 6% to $207 from $220 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus 2014 and down 4% to $214 from $224 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus 2014;

•

Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Worldwide Equipment Rental segment revenues increased 1% for both the three and nine months of 2015, as compared to 2014, due to increased volume. Despite decreased volumes in the oil and gas customer base, volume increased 3% in the three and nine month periods due to new account growth predominantly derived from small local contractors and specialty segments as we diversify our business;


•	Excluding the impact of foreign currency, maintenance costs increased in the Worldwide Equipment Rental segment due to the investment made to improve the fleet available to rent and sales costs due to an increase in sales force personnel to focus on winning new accounts and diversifying the customer base;


•	Incurred approximately $6 million and $23 million during the three and nine months of 2015, respectively, in costs associated with the anticipated separation of the Worldwide Equipment Rental business, as compared to $14 million and $27 million during the three and nine months of 2014, respectively; and


•	During the quarter, following an adverse decision against another industry participant in a similar action, we established an additional reserve with respect to a French road tax matter of approximately $24 million.

•

The Company recorded $24 million and $113 million in impairments, asset write-downs and restructuring and restructuring related expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $70 million and $151 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Included in these amounts were $9 million and $32 million during the three and nine months of 2015, respectively, in consulting, audit and legal costs associated with the restatement and investigation activities, as compared to $8 million and $17 million during the three and nine months of 2014, respectively.

•

During the quarter, we recorded approximately $18 million in expenses that related to prior periods comprised of adjustments of $4 million related to the accounting for the post-acquisition sale of land that was revalued as part of the December 2005 acquisition, $4 million of additional accruals for the periods 2009 through 2014 resulting from concession audits at four airport locations, a $4 million obligation to a jurisdiction for customer transaction fees, $3 million of additional write-offs of assets that were incorrectly capitalized and $3 million of other miscellaneous adjustments.

NM - Not meaningful

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

Total revenues decreased $145 million, or 5%, due to decreases in our U.S. and International Car Rental segments and our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment. Lower revenue in our U.S. Car Rental segment was driven predominantly by lower rental rates on flat volume as an increase in airport volume was offset by a decrease in off airport volume due in part to the closure of approximately 200 stores earlier in the year. Revenue for the U.S. Car Rental segment was also impacted by lower fuel-related ancillary revenue. Lower revenue in our International Car Rental and our Worldwide Equipment rental segments was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency of $130 million and $14 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues in both segments are up period over period.

The decrease in direct operating expenses of $138 million, or 8%, was primarily comprised of a decrease in our U.S. Car Rental segment of $53 million due to a decline in fuel costs, decreased personnel costs, decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs and decreased maintenance expenses, due to a younger fleet, as compared to the third quarter 2014. Additionally, direct operating expenses for our International Car Rental segment decreased $76 million largely due to a $69 million impact of foreign currency. Partially offsetting the decrease was the impact of $14

million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements."

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net in the third quarter 2015 decreased $29 million, or 4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to (i) a decrease of $29 million in our International Car Rental segment driven by the impact of foreign currency of $21 million, improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles and (ii) a decrease in our U.S. Car Rental segment of $10 million resulting primarily from lower average fleet and higher residual values on certain vehicles. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment of $8 million driven by a larger fleet size and a decrease in gains on sale of revenue earning equipment, due primarily to reduced sales activity as compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $44 million, or 15% due primarily to the impact of foreign currency, decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs and a $13 million impairment charge recorded in the third quarter 2014 related to the former headquarters in New Jersey.

Interest expense, net decreased $6 million, or 4%, primarily due to lower interest rates and the favorable impact of foreign currency, partially offset by higher average fleet debt driven by increased levels of revenue earning equipment, as well as increased amortization of deferred debt costs, including waiver fees.

We had other income of $29 million in the third quarter 2015 as compared to other expense of $3 million in the third quarter 2014. Other income in the third quarter of 2015 is primarily comprised of a $56 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc., partially offset by a legal reserve of $24 million recorded during the period related to a French road tax matter, the impact of a third quarter 2015 impairment and the impact of $4 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the during the quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements."

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 was 23% as compared to 27% in the third quarter of 2014. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2015 is expected to be approximately 28%. There was a tax provision of $70 million in the third quarter 2015 as compared to a provision of $54 million in the third quarter 2014. The change was the result of higher pre-tax income and composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter of 2015 also includes a $23 million net benefit due to a release of a foreign valuation allowance and a transfer pricing adjustment.

We had adjusted pre-tax income of $359 million in the third quarter 2015 compared with $322 million in the third quarter 2014. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Total revenues decreased $365 million, or 4%, due primarily to decreases in our U.S. and International Car Rental segments of $116 million and $239 million, respectively. Lower revenue in our U.S. Car Rental segment was driven by a decline in transaction days, which were driven by lower off airport volume due in part to the impact of off airport store closures in the second quarter of 2015. Revenue for the U.S. Car Rental segment was also impacted by lower rental rates and lower fuel-related ancillary revenue. Lower revenues for our International Car Rental segment were driven by the $302 million impact of foreign currency. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues for our International Car Rental segment increased $63 million, or 4% during the nine months of 2015, driven by a 3% increase in transaction days primarily resulting from an improved business mix from U.S. source rentals.

The decrease in direct operating expenses of $263 million, or 6%, was primarily comprised of decreases in our International Car Rental segment of $200 million, of which $178 million was the favorable impact of foreign currency and the remainder was primarily attributable to lower commissions, lower fuel costs and reduced self-insurance expenses due to a loss recorded in the nine months of 2014, with no comparable charge in the nine months of 2015. There was a decrease in our U.S. Car Rental segment of $83 million comprised of a $60 million decline in fuel costs and declines in net field administration, other direct operating costs of our rental locations and restructuring and

restructuring related charges, partially offset by increases in personnel expenses, collision and short term maintenance expense and other vehicle operating costs. The above decreases were partially offset by increases in our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment of $12 million primarily due to increases in salary related expenses, other maintenance expense and bad debt expense, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency. Also partially offsetting the decrease was the impact of $14 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements."

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net decreased $78 million, or 4%, due to (i) a decrease of $71 million in our International Car Rental segment driven by the impact of foreign currency of $54 million, and improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles and (ii) a $24 million decrease in our U.S. Car Rental segment due to higher residual values on certain vehicles. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment, despite the impact of foreign currency, driven by a larger fleet size as compared to 2014 and a decrease in gains on sale of revenue earning equipment due primarily to reduced sales activity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $24 million, or 3%, in the nine months of 2015 compared with 2014, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency, decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs and a $13 million impairment charge recorded in 2014 related to the former headquarters in New Jersey, as compared to a $6 million impairment charge recorded in 2015 related to our former Dollar Thrifty headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These decreases were partially offset by a $15 million increase in costs associated with the previously disclosed accounting restatement, investigation and remediation activities and $8 million in costs associated with the separation of a senior executive in the second quarter of 2015.

Interest expense, net decreased $17 million, or 4%, primarily due to lower interest rates and the impact of foreign currency, partially offset by higher average fleet debt driven by increased levels of revenue earning equipment, as well as increased amortization of deferred debt costs, including waiver fees.

Other income of $34 million in the nine months of 2015 was primarily comprised of a $56 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc. and earnings associated with our equity method investments, partially offset by a legal reserve of $24 million recorded during the period related to a French road tax matter and by $15 million of impairment charges and asset write-downs, see Note 9, "Tangible Asset Impairments." Also partially offsetting the income was the impact of $4 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements." Other income of $21 million in the nine months of 2014 was primarily comprised of a $19 million economic loss settlement we received related to a class action lawsuit filed against a vehicle manufacturer stemming from recalls of their vehicles in previous years.

The effective tax rate for the nine months of 2015 was 30% as compared to 42% in the nine months of 2014. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2015 is expected to be approximately 28%. There was a tax provision of $88 million in the nine months of 2015 as compared to a provision of $109 million in the nine months of 2014. The change was the result of the composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the period. The nine months of 2015 also includes a $23 million net benefit due to a release of a foreign valuation allowance and a transfer pricing adjustment.

We had adjusted pre-tax income of $537 million in the nine months 2015 compared with $562 million in the nine months 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND SELECTED OPERATING DATA BY SEGMENT

U.S. Car Rental

During 2015, we continued to increase the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet. Our strategy remains flexible as we continue to periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program cars in our fleet. Non-program cars disposed of through our retail outlets 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. When we increase the percentage of program cars the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles.

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 and nine months ended 2015 and 2014, 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 in our U.S. car rental operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $11 million based on the review completed during the third quarter of 2015. These depreciation rate changes in our U.S. car rental operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $17 million based on the review completed during the third quarter of 2014. Based on the quarterly reviews completed during the nine months of 2015 and 2014, depreciation rate changes in our U.S. car rental operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $83 million and $112 million, respectively. The rate changes in the three and nine months of 2015 reflect declining residual values and a reduction in the planned hold period of the vehicles as compared to our year end 2014 estimate.

U.S. Car Rental operations sold approximately 66,000 and 228,000 non-program cars in the three and nine months of 2015, respectively, as compared with 39,000 and 123,000 in the three and nine months of 2014. The increases were primarily due to the impact of fleet rotation as we refreshed our U.S. Car Rental fleet and from holding period reductions of non-program cars.

As of September 30, 2015, our U.S. car rental operations had a total of approximately 4,540 corporate and franchisee locations, comprised of 1,645 airport and 2,895 off airport locations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

Total U.S. Car Rental segment revenues were $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2015, down 2% from the third quarter of 2014 driven by a 2% decline in Total RPD predominantly driven by lower rental rates resulting from competitive pressure in the industry and lower fuel revenues. Transaction days were flat period over period as an increase in airport volume was offset by a decrease in off airport volume due in part to the store closures in the second quarter 2015. Off airport revenues comprised 24% of total revenues for the segment in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 26% in the third quarter of 2014.

Direct operating expenses for our U.S. car rental segment decreased $53 million, or 5%, primarily comprised of the following:

•

Fleet related expenses decreased $13 million year over year primarily due to a $17 million decline in fuel costs as a result of the lower price of gasoline and a decrease of $7 million in maintenance expenses due to a younger fleet as compared to the third quarter 2014. This was partially offset by an increase in other vehicle operating costs and higher amortization expense on vehicle registration tags.


•	Personnel related expenses decreased $10 million from the third quarter of 2014 due primarily to a reduction in headcount and the discontinuation of future benefit accruals and participation under certain of our pension plans.


•	Other direct operating expenses decreased $30 million from third quarter of 2014 due in part to decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs and declines in net field administration and other direct operating costs of our rental locations.

Partially offsetting the decrease was the impact of $14 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements."

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net decreased $10 million, or 2%, when compared with the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower average fleet and higher residual values on certain vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month increased to $267 in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $265 in the third quarter 2014.

Income before income taxes increased $52 million, or 33%, from the third quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower direct operating expenses and lower depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net, partially offset by the impact of lower revenues and the impact of the $18 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements."

Adjusted pre-tax income increased $37 million, or 18% as compared to the third quarter of 2014. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of these adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Total U.S. Car Rental segment revenue was $4.9 billion in the nine months of 2015, down 2% from the nine months of 2014 as a result of a 1% overall decline in transaction days which were impacted by a decrease in airport rental volume and a decrease in off airport volume due in part to the store closures in the second quarter 2015. Total RPD declined 2% driven predominantly by lower fuel-related ancillary revenue and lower rental rates driven by competitive pressure in the industry. Off airport revenues comprised 24% of total revenues for the segment in the nine months of 2015 and 2014.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Direct operating expenses for our U.S. car rental segment decreased $83 million, or 3%, primarily comprised of the following:


•	Fleet related expenses decreased $36 million year over year primarily due to a $60 million decline in fuel costs, partially offset by increases in collision and short term maintenance expenses due to a larger number of program cars returned to the original equipment manufacturer period over period, other vehicle operating costs and higher amortization expense on vehicle registration tags.

•

Personnel related expenses increased $6 million from the nine months of 2014 due primarily to first quarter 2015 increases in salaries and benefits for incremental headcount for our off airport locations, net of the impact of the closures in the second quarter of 2015, incremental headcount in maintenance personnel to reduce vehicle downtime and incremental headcount in customer facing service personnel. These increases were partially offset by the discontinuation of future benefit accruals and participation under certain of our pension plans as well as a reduction in other employee incentives period over period.


•	Other direct operating expenses decreased $53 million from the nine months of 2014 due in part to decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs and a decline in net field administration and other direct operating costs of our rental locations partially driven by the off airport closures in 2015.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net decreased by $24 million when compared with the nine months of 2014 due to higher residual values on certain vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased to $267 in the nine months 2015 as compared to $270 in the nine months 2014.

Income before income taxes decreased $23 million, or 5%, from the nine months 2014 due primarily to the impact of lower revenues and the impact of the $18 million related to certain adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that relate to prior periods as further disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements." Partially offsetting the decrease was lower direct operating expenses and lower depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net, as discussed above. Additionally, in the nine months of 2014 we recorded other income of $19 million resulting from an economic loss settlement we received related to a class action lawsuit filed against a vehicle manufacturer stemming from recalls of their vehicles in previous years.

Adjusted pre-tax income decreased $6 million, or 1%, in the nine months of 2015 as compared to the nine months of 2014.

Total revenues for the International Car Rental segment decreased $108 million, or 14%, when compared with the prior-year period, due to the impact of foreign currency of $130 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, and despite the negative impact of lower fuel revenues, total revenues increased $22 million, or 3%, driven by a 2% increase in Total RPD, on a constant currency basis, and a 1% increase in transaction days.

Direct operating expenses for our International Car Rental segment decreased $76 million, or 18%, from the prior year. Excluding a $69 million impact of foreign currency, direct operating expenses decreased approximately $7 million, or 2%, primarily due to a reduction in commissions as a result of the termination of a contract in the second quarter of 2015.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net for our International Car Rental segment decreased $29 million, or 20%, mainly driven by the impact of foreign currency of $21 million, improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased 6% to $207 from $220 year over year, excluding currency effects on a constant currency basis.

Income before income taxes for our International Car Rental segment was $121 million in the third quarter 2015 as compared to $130 million in the third quarter 2014 due mainly to the factors above coupled with decreases in SG&A of $11 million and interest expense, net of $7 million, partially offset by an increase in other expense of $24 million comprised of a legal reserve recorded during the third quarter 2015 related to a French road tax matter.

Total revenues for the International Car Rental segment decreased $239 million, or 12%, as compared with the prior-year period, including a $302 million impact of foreign currency. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues increased $63 million, or 4% during the nine months of 2015, driven by a 3% increase in transaction days resulting from an improved business mix from U.S. source rentals. Revenues in the nine months of 2015 were negatively impacted by lower fuel revenues driven by lower market prices, a decline in ancillary fuel sales and a change in fuel purchase plans sold in the Europe market that took effect late in the second quarter of 2014. Total RPD for the segment, on a constant currency basis, rose 1%.

Direct operating expenses for our International Car Rental segment decreased $200 million, or 17%, from the prior year period. Excluding the $178 million impact of foreign currency, direct operating expenses decreased approximately $22 million, or 2%, due to lower commissions, lower fuel costs and reduced self-insurance expenses due to a loss recorded in the nine months of 2014 with no comparable charge in the nine months of 2015. In connection with the termination of a contract, we also had approximately $2 million of accruals, expenses, charges, and write-downs in our International Car Rental segment.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net for our International Car Rental segment decreased $71 million, or 19%, mainly driven by the impact of foreign currency of $54 million, improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased 4% to $214 from $224 year over year, excluding currency effects on a constant currency basis.

Income before income taxes for our International Car Rental segment was $159 million in the nine months of 2015 as compared to $117 million in the nine months of 2014. The change was due mainly to the reduction in direct operating expenses and depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net mentioned above, a $19 million decline in interest expense, net, and a $13 million decrease in SG&A, despite approximately $9 million of accruals, expenses, charges, and write-downs recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the termination of a contract. The above decreases were partially offset by lower revenues and an increase in other (income) expense, net of $22 million primarily comprised of a legal reserve recorded in 2015 related to a French road tax matter.

Total revenues for the segment decreased $12 million, or 3%, when compared with the prior-year period and increased $2 million, or 1% excluding the impact of foreign currency. Revenue growth was negatively affected by continuing weakness in major upstream oil and gas markets, but was favorably impacted by a 3% increase in worldwide equipment rental volumes. The increase in volume was driven by new account growth, which is predominantly derived from small local contractors and specialty segments as we diversify our business. The increase in volume was partially muted by the decline in the oil and gas industry in North America mentioned above. Pricing for the third quarter was unchanged year-over-year. Upstream oil and gas revenue in major upstream markets represented approximately 8% of North American equipment rental and rental-related revenue in the third quarter of 2015, excluding currency effects. This upstream revenue was down approximately 39% in the third quarter as major oil producers reduced spending. In contrast, all other North American rental and rental-related revenue increased approximately 9%. The weakness in spending from the major upstream oil and gas customers is having a secondary effect on other types of businesses in those markets resulting in revenue in these markets decreasing by approximately 26% in the third quarter.

Direct operating expenses for our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment remained the same in the third quarter of 2015 when compared to 2014, however, increased $9 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. This increase is primarily driven by higher salary related expenses associated with a rise in the headcount for mechanics to reduce the fleet unavailable for rent and a reinvestment in branch management to drive operational processes.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net increased $8 million, or 10% in third quarter of 2015 when compared with 2014, and increased $11 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. The increase was driven by a larger fleet size as compared to the third quarter of 2014 and a decrease in gains on sale of revenue earning equipment primarily due to reduced sales activity.

Income before income taxes decreased $19 million, or 34%, due to the factors above.

Adjusted pre-tax income decreased $25 million, or 32%. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of these adjustments on a consolidated basis.

This upstream revenue was down approximately 27% in the nine months as major oil producers reduced spending. In contrast, all other North American rental and rental-related revenue increased approximately 8%. The weakness in spending from the major upstream oil and gas customers is having a secondary effect on other types of businesses in those markets resulting in revenue in these markets decreasing by approximately 21% for the nine month period.

Direct operating expenses for our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment increased $12 million, or 2%, and increased $36 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. This increase is primarily due to increases in salary related expenses due to costs associated with a rise in the headcount for mechanics to reduce the fleet unavailable for rent, reinvestment in branch management to drive operational processes and an increase in bad debt expense.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net increased $8 million, or 3%, in the nine months of 2015 when compared with 2014, and increased $15 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. The increase was driven by a larger fleet size as compared to 2014 and a decrease in gains on sale of revenue earning equipment due to reduced sales activity.

Income before income taxes decreased $71 million, or 51%, due to the factors above coupled with a $22 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily resulting from $5 million in costs associated with separation of a senior executive during second quarter of 2015 as well as increased costs associated with a larger sales force year over year. Additionally, there were $20 million of costs for the anticipated HERC spin-off transaction during the nine months of 2015 as compared to $18 million in the nine months of 2014.

Adjusted pre-tax income decreased $67 million, or 34%. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of these adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Adjusted pre-tax income is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated as income before income taxes plus certain non-cash purchase accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and nonoperational items. Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. The contribution of our reportable segments to adjusted pre-tax income and reconciliation to the most comparable consolidated 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. Late in the third quarter of 2015 the Company fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, Hertz determined that there was an impact to the calculation. The impact to the third quarter of 2015 is negligible, however Hertz expects that transaction days for the U.S. Car Rental segment will increase by approximately 1% prospectively relative to the historic calculation.

(c)

Total RPD is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated as total revenue less ancillary revenue associated with retail car sales, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is useful in analyzing underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it represents a 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 tables reconcile our car rental segment revenues to our total rental revenue and total revenue per transaction day (based on December 31, 2014 foreign exchange rates) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 ($ in millions, except for Total RPD):

Average fleet is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, average fleet is used to calculate our fleet efficiency which represents the portion of the Company's fleet that is being utilized to generate revenue. Fleet efficiency is calculated by dividing total transaction days by available car days. In the three and nine months of 2014, average fleet used to calculate fleet efficiency in our U.S. Car Rental segment excludes Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles as these vehicles do not have associated transaction days. In the three and nine months of 2015, the quantity of Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles rounds to zero. The calculation of fleet efficiency is shown in the tables below.

Revenue per available car day is calculated as total revenues less revenue from fleet subleases and ancillary revenue associated with retail car sales divided by available car 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 metric is important to our management and investors as it represents a 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 and provides a measure of revenue production relative to overall capacity.

The following tables reconcile our car rental segment total rental revenues to our revenue per available car day (based on December 31, 2014 foreign exchange rates) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Net depreciation per unit per month is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net by the average fleet in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is useful in analyzing underlying trends. Average fleet used to calculate net depreciation per unit per month in our U.S. Car Rental segment includes Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles as these vehicles have associated lease charges. Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month. The tables below reconcile this non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure, which is depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net, (based on December 31, 2014 foreign exchange rates) for the periods shown:

Worldwide equipment rental and rental related revenue is a Non-GAAP measure that 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 (based on December 31, 2014 foreign exchange rates). 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 reflects time and mileage and ancillary charges for equipment on rent and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our worldwide equipment rental segment revenues, the

Same-store revenue growth is calculated as the year over year change in revenue for locations that are open at the end of the period reported and have been operating under our direction for more than twelve months. The same-store revenue amounts are adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

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.

As of September 30, 2015, we had $509 million of cash and cash equivalents and $280 million of restricted cash. Of these amounts, $161 million of cash and cash equivalents and $32 million of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

The following table summarizes the change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2015			2014			$ Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,683		$	2,729		$	(46	)
Investing activities	(3,114		)	(3,283		)	169
Financing activities	471			790			(319		)
Effect of exchange rate changes	(21		)	(18		)	(3		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	19		$	218		$	(199	)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we generated $46 million less cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily related to the timing of our cash receipts and payments related to our assets and liabilities.

Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment, see "Capital Expenditures" below. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used less cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2014 primarily due to a $177 million increase in cash inflows as restricted cash levels required to support related fleet debt, including the prefunding of related amortization payments, declined. Additionally, we received $100 million of proceeds from the sale of shares in our equity method investment. These were partially offset by a $96 million increase in revenue earning equipment expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash provided by financing activities decreased by $319 million compared with the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to our $262 million purchase of treasury

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

shares and a net decrease in long term borrowings, partially offset by increased short term borrowings and borrowings under our revolving lines of credit compared to the nine months 2014.

The effect of exchange rates on our cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was a reduction in cash of $21 million as compared to a reduction in cash of $18 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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. As of September 30, 2015, we had $16,609 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $393 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.

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, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by HVF II, HVF, RCFC, DNRS II LLC, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate our international securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors, see Note 5, "Debt" to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for more information.

Our liquidity as of September 30, 2015 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and unused commitments under our fleet debt, see "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, so that its operations are unaffected by adverse financial market conditions. As of the third quarter 2015 financial statements, the Company reviewed the credit facilities that will mature within the next twelve months and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance the credit facilities before the expiration of such facilities.

We believe that cash generated from operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, 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.

Fleet Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we had the following financing activities:

RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes: Rental Car Finance Corp. ("RCFC"), a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz was the issuer under the RCFC U.S. ABS Program. In 2011, RCFC issued Series 2011-1 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $500 million and issued Series 2011-2 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $400 million (collectively, the "RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes"). In February 2015, the RCFC U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes were paid in full as scheduled in accordance with their terms.

HVF II U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes: In April 2015, HVF II issued the Series 2015-1 Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, and Class C, or the “HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes”, collectively, in an aggregate principal amount of $780 million. The expected maturity of the HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes is March 2020. The HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes are comprised of $622 million aggregate principal amount of 2.73% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, $119 million aggregate principal amount of 3.52% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class B, and $39 million aggregate principal amount of 4.35% Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes, Class C. The net proceeds from the sale of the HVF II Series 2015-1 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of HVF II's Series 2013-A

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Notes and HVF II's Series 2014-A Notes and (ii) to make loans to HVF for HVF to acquire or refinance vehicles to be leased to the Company or Dollar Thrifty for use in their daily rental operations.

Capitalized Leases: In May 2015, the U.K. Leveraged Financing was amended to provide for aggregate maximum leasing capacity (subject to asset availability) of up to £300 million during the peak season and at the same time amended and increased the ongoing core facility to £250 million.

European Revolving Credit Facility: In May 2015, HHN BV amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to €340 million during the peak season, subject to borrowing base availability, for a seasonal commitment period through December 2015.

HFLF Medium Term Notes: In June 2015, HFLF issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2015-1 Floating Rate Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E, or the “HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes,” collectively. The net proceeds from the issuance of the HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of amounts then-outstanding under the HFLF Series 2014-1 Notes and the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes and (ii) to make loans to DNRS II LLC. The HFLF Series 2015-1 Notes are floating rate and carry an interest rate based upon a spread to one-month LIBOR. An affiliate of HFLF owns a portion of the obligation related to the Class E Notes, therefore, $5 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation.

Canadian Securitizations: In September 2015, Hertz established a new securitization platform, the “Canadian Securitization”, designed to facilitate its financing activities relating to the vehicle fleet used by Hertz in the Canadian daily car rental operations of its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands. The lenders under the Canadian Securitization have been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in its car rental operations in Canada and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles as well as certain other assets owned by its entities connected to the financing. TCL Funding Limited Partnership, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, or “Funding LP,” is the issuer under the Canadian Securitization. In connection with the establishment of the Canadian Securitization, in September 2015, Funding LP issued the Series 2015-A Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (the “Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes”) that provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of C$350 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis and a maturity date of January 2018. The net proceeds from the sale of the Funding LP Series 2015-A Notes were used to pay in full the then-outstanding Hertz Sponsored Canadian Securitization and the Dollar Thrifty Sponsored Canadian Securitization and there are no longer any amounts outstanding under the Hertz Sponsored Canadian Securitization and the Dollar Thrifty Sponsored Canadian Securitization.

HFLF Variable Funding Notes: In September 2015, the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes were upsized by $100 million providing for an aggregate maximum principal amount of the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes of $500 million (subject to borrowing base availability). In connection therewith, the maturity date of the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes was extended to September 2017.

Subsequent to September 30, 2015 we had the following financing activities:

sale of the HVF II Series 2015-2 Notes and HVF II Series 2015-3 Notes were used (i) to repay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of HVF II's Series 2013-A Notes and HVF II's Series 2014-A Notes and (ii) to make loans to Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, to acquire or refinance vehicles.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

As of September 30, 2015, the following facilities were available to us:



(In millions)	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
Corporate Debt
Senior ABL Facility	$	1,373	$	1,334
Total Corporate Debt	1,373		1,334

Australian Securitization	88		—
Capitalized Leases	35		5
Total Fleet Debt	2,560		12
Total	$	3,933	$	1,346

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 September 30, 2015, the Senior ABL Facility had $970 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2015, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $688 million. Of this amount, $675 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the “Senior Credit Facilities.” As of September 30, 2015, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Covenants

We refer to Hertz and its subsidiaries as the Hertz credit group. 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.

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 September 30, 2015, we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

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 5, "Debt" to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt" to the Notes to our 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 consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K.

Waivers

Due to our accounting restatement, investigation and remediation activities, we failed to file certain quarterly and annual reports and certain of our subsidiaries failed to file statutory financial statements within certain time periods set forth in the documentation of various of our (and/or our special purpose subsidiaries’) financing facilities which resulted in the occurrence of various potential and/or actual defaults and amortization events under certain of such financing facilities which required us to obtain certain waivers. Additional information regarding waivers obtained are described in Note 5, "Debt."

On July 16, 2015, we filed our 2014 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015. As a result, any potential and/or actual defaults and potential amortization events ceased to exist and were deemed to have been cured for all purposes of the related transaction documents.

Relocation of Headquarters

The relocation of our corporate headquarters to Estero, Florida is ongoing and we expect to complete the relocation in late 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we have incurred approximately $85 million in expenditures directly related to the relocation of our headquarters including employee relocation, severance, temporary facilities and other associated costs. We anticipate that our future expenditures related to the relocation will be approximately $1 million.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

We are currently funding the construction costs related to our new headquarters although most of the cost will be offset by state income tax credits over a period of 20 years. Through September 30, 2015, we have expended approximately $89 million related to the construction of our new headquarters. We anticipate our future capital expenditures will be approximately $20 million.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, we announced that the Board approved a $1 billion share repurchase program. In the third quarter of 2015, we repurchased 14.8 million shares for $262 million under the share repurchase program. The program replaced the $300 million share repurchase program that we announced in 2013, under which we repurchased approximately $87 million in shares. See Note 15, "Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share " and Part II, Item 2 "Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds".

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Part I, Item I, Note 5 "Debt" to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, however, these changes did not significantly revise our future estimated interest payments from those which are set forth in the Contractual Obligations table included in Part II Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2014 Form 10-K.

As of September 30, 2015, there have been no other material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Recoverability of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

On an annual basis and at interim periods when circumstances require, we test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Goodwill must be tested at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. However, components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model for impairment testing include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates. Discount rates are set by using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, or “WACC,” methodology. The WACC methodology considers market and industry data as well as Company specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rates to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. The cash flows represent management's most recent planning assumptions. These assumptions are based on a combination of industry outlooks, views on general economic conditions, our expected pricing plans and expected future savings generated by our past restructuring activities. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and low long-term growth rates. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. A significant decline in the projected cash flows or a change in the WACC used to determine fair value could result in a future goodwill impairment charge.

As a result of the reaffirmation of the Worldwide Equipment Rental business separation, in the third quarter of 2015, we qualitatively assessed the fair value of the Hertz Equipment Rental tradename relative to its carrying value and determined that it is more likely than not there is no impairment of the tradename. This assessment which considered known events and circumstances was based on the key assumptions of the length of the transition period, the effectiveness of the Worldwide Equipment Rental's marketing strategy and the ability to retain the key attributes of the existing tradename. These assumptions could change materially in the future based on the finalization of the separation agreement and materially affect the fair value of the tradename.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report under the caption Item 1, "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report and in reports we subsequently file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the "SEC," on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and file or furnish on Form 8-K, and in related comments by our management, include "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategies. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project," "potential," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "seek," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," "forecasts" or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. 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.

Some important factors that could affect our actual results include, among others, those that may be disclosed from time to time in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, those described under "Item 1A—Risk Factors" included in our 2014 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 and the following:

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.

There is no material change in the information reported under Part II Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As described in additional detail in the Explanatory Note to our 2014 Form 10-K, in June 2014, we commenced an internal investigation of certain matters related to the accounting during prior periods. The investigation was undertaken by outside counsel, along with independent counsel for the Audit Committee. Counsel received assistance from outside

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

consultants and new senior accounting and compliance personnel. The internal investigation is complete, although our outside counsel and the independent counsel to the Audit Committee continue to provide forensic and investigative support in connection with certain proceedings discussed in Item 1, Note 13, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Based on the internal investigation, our review of our financial records, and other work completed by our management, the Audit Committee has concluded that there were material misstatements in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, our Board and management concluded that our consolidated financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon and required restatement. The restated consolidated financial statements for 2012 and 2013 are included in our 2014 Form 10-K. The unaudited restated selected data for 2011 is included in Item 6, "Selected Financial Data" in our 2014 Form 10-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, 2015, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of our 2014 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

Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the three months ended September 30, 2015. We have taken certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses referenced above and to improve our control over financial reporting. If not remediated these deficiencies could result in further material misstatements to our financial statements. The Company and the Board take the control and integrity of the Company’s financial statements seriously and believe that the remediation steps described below are essential to maintaining a strong internal controls environment. The following remediation steps are among the measures taken by the Company during the quarter:

* On March 18, 2014, Hertz Holdings announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program that authorizes Hertz Holdings to purchase up to $1 billion of its common stock. This repurchase program replaces the $300 million share repurchase program that Hertz Holdings announced in 2013, under which Hertz Holdings has utilized approximately $87 million to repurchase shares of its common stock. The share repurchase program permits Hertz Holdings to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. It does not obligate Hertz Holdings to make any repurchases at any specific time or situation. The timing and extent to which Hertz Holdings repurchases its shares will depend upon, among other things, market conditions, share price, liquidity targets and other factors. Share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. This table does not include shares tendered to satisfy the exercise price in connection with cashless exercises of employee stock options or shares tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with employee equity awards.
