Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global" when including its subsidiaries and "Hertz Holdings" excluding its subsidiaries) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz" and interchangeably with Hertz Global, the "Company"), Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in the U.S., Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, The Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Through its Donlen subsidiary, Hertz provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services.
On June 30, 2016, former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (for periods on or prior to June 30, 2016, “Old Hertz Holdings” and for periods after June 30, 2016, “Herc Holdings”) completed a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of record of Old Hertz Holdings as of the close of business on June 22, 2016, the record date for the distribution, of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”), which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. in connection with the Spin-Off, on a one-to-five basis. New Hertz, or Hertz Global, is the “accounting successor” to Old Hertz Holdings. As such, the 2016 financial information of Hertz reflects the equipment rental business as a discontinued operation and the 2016 financial information of Hertz Global reflects the equipment rental business and certain parent legal entities as discontinued operations. See

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
December 31, 2016
condensed consolidated 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, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 6, 2017.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. 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 joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Out Of Period Adjustments
The Company identified a misstatement in its prior period financial statements, related to the income tax provision, that it corrected in the second quarter of 2017. The cumulative impact of the adjustment was an increase in net loss of approximately
$10 million
. There was no impact to pre-tax loss from continuing operations. The misstatement relates to an error in the tax provision for U.S. income of a foreign equity investment transaction for fiscal year 2016. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the item and determined that the misstatement was not material to any prior period and not material to the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
.
Correction of Errors
The Company identified classification errors within the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2016
. One of the errors related to the Company's Donlen operations and was previously disclosed in the Company's 2016 Form 10‑K. The second error related to the Company's operations in Brazil and was previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.
The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the classification errors individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the classification errors were not material and revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2016
accordingly. Correction of the errors decreased both revenue earning vehicles expenditures and proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles by
$540 million
for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2016
and did not impact total operating, investing or financing cash flows. These revisions had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2016
or its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
three
and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2016
.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several areas of employee share-based payment accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows. Most significantly, the new guidance eliminates the need to track tax “windfalls” in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recorded within income tax expense. The Company adopted this guidance in accordance with the effective date on January 1, 2017. The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated balance sheet was a modified retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset with an offsetting entry to the opening accumulated deficit to recognize net operating loss carryforwards, net of a valuation allowance, attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized. Additionally, the Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur.

The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows pertaining to excess tax benefits or deficiencies is on a prospective basis. The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows pertaining to employee taxes paid is on a retrospective basis and adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's cash flows.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that addresses the treatment of certain transactions in statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. These items include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, proceeds from the settlement of life insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. The Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a retrospective basis, on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure an impairment. Rather, a goodwill impairment charge will be calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a prospective basis, on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Scope of Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Awards
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The guidance describes the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards where modification accounting is required to be applied. Modification accounting is not required if the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a prospective basis, in the second quarter of 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue from customers for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Also, additional disclosures are required about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The FASB has issued several amendments and updates to the new revenue standard (collectively, “Topic 606”), including guidance related to when an entity should recognize revenue gross as a principal or net as an agent and how an entity should identify performance obligations. As amended, Topic 606 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and allows for full retrospective adoption applied to all periods presented or a modified retrospective adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings recognized at the date of initial application. The Company intends to adopt Topic 606 when effective on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach applied to all contracts. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company has reached conclusions on several key accounting assessments related to its revenue recognition, however, it is still finalizing its assessment and quantifying the impacts that adoption of Topic 606 will have on the accounting for its loyalty programs, such as Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, as further described below. The Company is still in the process of determining the level of disaggregated revenue information that it will include in its disclosures and continues to evaluate its internal controls over financial reporting to ensure that controls are in place to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of Topic 606.
Vehicle Rental Operations
The Company has concluded that revenue earned by operations for the rental of vehicles and from other forms of rental related activities, wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset, will be accounted for under Topic 606, effective January 1, 2018, until the adoption of the new lease guidance that replaces the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP, as described in more detail in the "Leases" disclosure below.
Recognition of revenue from other forms of rental related activities that represent a service will not be materially impacted by adoption of Topic 606.
Recognition of revenue earned through the licensing of the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands under franchise agreements (“franchise fees”) is expected to remain consistent with current revenue recognition guidance except for initial and renewal franchise fees. Currently, initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred income when received and are recognized as revenue when all material upfront services and conditions related to the franchise fee have been substantially performed and renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the license agreements are effective and collectability is reasonably assured. Upon adoption, revenue from initial and renewal franchise fees that relate to a future contract term, for franchises in effect as of January 1, 2018, will be deferred and recognized over the remaining contract term. However, this amount will not be material.
The Company believes that the most significant impact relates to its accounting for reward points earned by customers under its loyalty programs. Upon adoption of Topic 606, each transaction which generates reward points will result in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value of the redemption of the loyalty reward points. The associated revenue will be recognized at the time the customer redeems the loyalty reward points. Under the current guidance, there is no revenue deferral and the Company records an expense associated with the incremental cost of providing the future rental at the time when the reward points are earned. The Company is in the process of quantifying the impact of adoption of Topic 606.

Fleet Leasing and Management Operations
The Company has concluded that revenue earned by operations for the leasing of vehicles and from other forms of rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset will be accounted for under the existing lease guidance until the adoption of the new lease guidance, as described in more detail in the "Leases" disclosure below. Administration fees and service revenue attributable to the Company's Donlen operations will not be materially impacted by adoption of Topic 606.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that replaces the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new guidance (Topic "842") establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Topic 842 also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements. Additionally, enhanced quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases are required which provide financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Topic 842 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this guidance, in accordance with the effective date, on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for both lessees and lessors for existing leases at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is still in the process of evaluating whether to avail itself of allowable practicable expedients during transition.
Lessee
Adoption of Topic 842 will result in a material increase in the Company's lease-related assets and liabilities on its balance sheet, primarily for leases of rental locations and other assets. Additionally, adoption of this guidance will impact the statement of cash flows with respect to the presentation of the Company's operating activities, but is not expected to impact its presentation of investing or financing activities. Adoption of Topic 842 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company has reached conclusions on key accounting assessments related to its leases and is performing an analysis of its lease portfolio to ensure proper application of the new guidance including implementation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Lessor
The Company has concluded that revenue earned by operations for the rental and leasing of vehicles and from other forms of rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset is within the scope of this guidance and that additional disclosures regarding lease revenue are required upon adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the breakdown of its vehicle rental revenues into lease and non-lease components. There is no impact to the nature, timing or recognition of rental lease revenue upon adoption of this guidance.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies existing guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in its cash and cash equivalents balances in the statement of cash flows. Under current guidance, the Company presents these transfers within the cash flows from investing and financing sections in its consolidated statements of cash flows.

the statement of cash flows will increase by

. Additionally, transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash will no longer be a component of the Company's investing or financing activities.
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance requires an evaluation of whether substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction does not qualify as a business. The guidance also requires an acquired business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective transition method. Based on current operations, adoption of this guidance is not expected to impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Clarifying the Scope of Nonfinancial Asset Derecognition and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets
In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the scope of the established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The new guidance may be adopted on either a full or modified retrospective basis. Based on current operations, adoption of this guidance is not expected to impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented. The guidance also requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on described separate lines. In addition, only the service-cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization, which is a change from current practice, under which entities capitalize the aggregate net benefit cost when applicable. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance affecting the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement requires use of the retrospective method of adoption and the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost to the service cost component requires use of the prospective method of adoption. Adoption of this guidance will result in a reclassification of certain amounts from direct vehicle and operating expense and selling, general and administrative expense to other (income) expense, net which does not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not expect the reclassified amounts to be material.

CAR Inc. Investment
In March 2016, the Company sold
204 million
shares of common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and extended its commercial agreement with CAR Inc. to 2023, in exchange for
$240 million
, of which
$233 million
was allocated to the sale of shares based on the fair value of those shares. The sale of

shares resulted in a pre-tax gain of
$75 million
which has been recognized and recorded in the Company's corporate operations and is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally,
$7 million
of the proceeds were allocated to the extension of the commercial agreement which have been deferred and are being recognized over the remaining term of the commercial agreement. The sale of the shares reduced the Company's ownership interest in CAR Inc. to
1.7%
and eliminated the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over CAR Inc. As a result, the Company classifies the investment as an available for sale security which is presented within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.
In February 2017, the Company sold its remaining shares of common stock of CAR Inc. and no longer has an ownership interest in the entity.
Brazil Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company, along with certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement to sell Car Rental Systems do Brasil Locação de Veiculos Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company located in Brazil ("Brazil Operations"), to Localiza Fleet S.A. (“Localiza”), a corporation headquartered in Brazil. The Brazil Operations are reported in the Company's International Rental Car reporting segment. As a result of the then pending sale, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities being sold were written down to fair value less costs to sell, which resulted in an impairment charge of
$18 million
based upon the estimated agreed-upon sales price and the Brazil operations were classified as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2016
.

As part of the sale, both companies entered into referral and brand cooperation agreements to govern their ongoing relationship which have an initial term of twenty years with an option to extend for another twenty years. The alliance will also involve the exchange of knowledge in areas of technology, customer service and operational excellence.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As a result of declines in revenue and profitability of the Company and a decline in the share price of Hertz Global's common stock, the Company tested the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2017, as further described below. No events have occurred requiring the Company to test the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets subsequent to its analysis at June 30, 2017. The Company will perform its annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles as of October 1, 2017 during the fourth quarter.
Goodwill
The Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2017 using the income approach, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. In performing the impairment analysis, the Company leveraged long-term strategic plans, which are based on strategic initiatives for future profitability growth. The weighted average cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow model was calculated based upon the fair value of the Company's debt and stock price with a debt to equity ratio comparable to the vehicle rental car industry. The results of the Company's analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value, therefore, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired.
Intangible Assets
The Company performed an impairment analysis as of June 30, 2017 of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief from royalty method, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that there was an impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename in its U.S. Rental Car segment and recorded a charge of
$86 million
. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in long-term revenue projections coupled with an increase in the weighted average cost of capital. Subsequent to recording the impairment charge, the carrying value of the Dollar Thrifty tradename was approximately
$934 million
, representing its estimated fair value. A change of 1 percentage point to the weighted average cost of capital assumption used in the impairment analysis would have impacted the impairment charge by approximately
$80 million
.

In the case of the Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP ("HFLF") Medium Term Notes, such notes are repayable from cash flows derived from third-party leases comprising the underlying HFLF collateral pool. The initial maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the end of the revolving period for such series, at which time the related notes begin to amortize monthly by an amount equal to the lease collections payable to that series. To the extent the revolving period already has ended, the initial maturity date reflected is October 2017. The second maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the date by which

Hertz and the investors in the related series expect such series of notes to be repaid in full, which is based upon various assumptions made at the time of pricing of such notes, including the contractual amortization of the underlying leases as well as the assumed rate of prepayments of such leases. Such maturity reference is to the “expected final maturity date” as opposed to the subsequent “legal final maturity date”. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable. Although the underlying lease cash flows that support the repayment of the HFLF Medium Term Notes may vary, the cash flows generally are expected to approximate a straight line amortization of the related notes from the initial maturity date through the expected final maturity date.
In June 2017, the Company redeemed all
$250 million
of its outstanding
4.25% Senior Notes due April 2018
and terminated
$150 million
of commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility ("Senior RCF"), as further described below, and recorded
$8 million
of charges for early redemption premiums and the write off of deferred financing costs.
The Company is highly leveraged and a substantial portion of its liquidity needs arise from debt service on its indebtedness and from the funding of its costs of operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse impact on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions.
As of September 30, 2017, approximately
$2.1 billion
of vehicle debt and
$16 million
of non-vehicle debt was due to mature between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and the Company was in compliance with its financial maintenance covenant under the Senior RCF, see "Covenant Compliance" below.
In November 2017, the Company amended its Senior Facilities (as defined below), terminated
$383 million
of commitments under the Senior RCF, entered into a standalone
$400 million
letter of credit facility (the “Letter of Credit Facility”), extended the maturities of several vehicle debt facilities and provided an irrevocable notice to the holders of its
$450 million
in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
6.75%
Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) of its election to redeem in full all of the outstanding 2019 Notes and deposited funds with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes to effect such redemption on the redemption date, as further described in Note 19, "Subsequent Events." The amendment to the Senior Facilities, together with the aforementioned commitment reductions under the Senior RCF, created immediate debt incurrence capacity of
$542 million
under the
$2.4 billion
credit facilities basket contained in the Senior Facilities as long as such debt incurred is, among other things, junior to the Company’s first-lien debt. If the Company elects to utilize such capacity, the proceeds from such newly incurred debt would not be required to be used to refinance debt and may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. To the extent the Company elects to utilize the Letter of Credit Facility for letters of credit issued, or relating to liabilities or obligations incurred, in the ordinary course of business, the Company would further increase such debt incurrence capacity, and the proceeds of any debt that the Company elects to incur utilizing such additional capacity would also be available for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Availability under the Letter of Credit Facility is limited to an amount equal to the amount of commitments terminated under the Senior RCF. Subsequent to the completion of the aforementioned transactions in November 2017, approximately
$1.7 billion
of vehicle debt and
$23 million
of non-vehicle debt is due to mature prior to September 30, 2018. The Company has reviewed its debt facilities that will mature within this timeframe and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance these facilities at such times as the Company determines appropriate prior to their maturities.
Non-Vehicle Debt
Senior Facilities
In June 2017, Hertz terminated
$150 million
of commitments under the Senior RCF, such that after giving effect to such termination the Senior RCF consists of a
$1.55 billion
senior secured revolving credit facility.
In February 2017, certain terms of the credit agreement governing the
$700 million
senior secured term facility (the "Senior Term Loan") and the Senior RCF (together with the Senior Term Loan, the "Senior Facilities") were amended with the consent of the required lenders under such credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) amended the terms of the financial maintenance covenant for the Senior RCF to test, when applicable, Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio in lieu of Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio, (ii) provided that Hertz shall not

make dividends and certain restricted payments unless a leverage ratio test is satisfied, (iii) added a new covenant restricting the incurrence of certain corporate indebtedness, (iv) capped the amount of unrestricted cash that may be netted for purposes of calculating the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio at
$500 million
unless a specified consolidated total gross corporate leverage ratio is met for a specified period and (v) amended certain financial definitions relating to the foregoing.
Senior Notes
In June 2017, Hertz redeemed all
$250 million
of its outstanding
4.25%
Senior Notes due April 2018 (the "April 2018 Notes").
Senior Second Priority Secured Notes
In June 2017, Hertz issued
$1.25 billion
in aggregate principal amount of
7.625%
Senior Second Priority Secured Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Second Priority Secured Notes"), the proceeds of which are restricted under the terms of the credit agreement governing the Senior Facilities, primarily related to the repayment of indebtedness. In June 2017, the Company utilized approximately
$266 million
of the proceeds to pay the outstanding principal and early redemption premium in connection with the redemption of the April 2018 Notes and fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes. In June 2017, the Company also exercised its right to reduce the amount of available commitments under its Senior RCF by
$150 million
. As of
September 30, 2017
, approximately
$833 million
in proceeds remained from the issuance of the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes and is included in restricted cash and cash equivalents, non-vehicle in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow-based revolving credit facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. The Company's ability to borrow under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.
The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time). With respect to the Senior RCF, "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" is the same as "Remaining Capacity" since borrowings under the Senior RCF are not subject to a borrowing base.
The following facilities were available to the Company as of
September 30, 2017
, and are presented net of any outstanding letters of credit:

Special Purpose Entities
Substantially all of the revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs.

Stock-Based Compensation
The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation plans is recorded at the Hertz level.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2017 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan ("2017 EICP"). The provisions of the plan provide for the pay out of any bonus earned in either cash or performance stock units ("PSUs") for certain groups of employees. The decision regarding the form of payout will be made after the bonus has been earned and as such, the grant date of the PSUs is not established until vested. The potential PSU awards will be based on a monetary amount equivalent to a percentage of employees’ salaries that will be based on the achievement of specific performance metrics in 2017. The specific monetary amount will be calculated at the time of grant. The PSUs are intended to be granted in place of cash bonus awards and, therefore, qualify as equity awards. Compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period. The Company calculates the anticipated number of awards to be granted based on the bonus dollars expected to be earned divided by the stock price as of the reporting date. The anticipated awards are used to estimate the compensation expense as of the reporting date. Compensation charges will accumulate as a liability until the grant date, at which time the liability will be reclassified to equity. During the
three
and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
, the Company recognized approximately
$1 million
and
$5 million
, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense associated with the 2017 EICP. The Company expects approximately
274,000
shares will be granted in connection with this program based on the Company’s stock price as of
September 30, 2017
.
Under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (the "2016 Omnibus Plan"), during the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
, Hertz Global granted
573,432
non-qualified stock options to certain executives and employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of
$9.33
as determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model;
621,910
restricted stock units ("RSUs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of
$19.20
;
423,052
PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of
$22.08
and
664,643
performance stock awards ("PSAs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of
$22.19
, with vesting terms of
three
to
five
years. None of the PSUs associated with the 2017 EICP plan are included in the grant amounts above. During the
three
and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
, the Company recognized approximately
$3 million
and
$11 million
, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense associated with the 2016 Omnibus Plan.

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. 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 available for sale securities.

Investments in Related Parties
Investments in related parties are accounted for under the equity method and are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment charge whenever there is a decline in value that is determined to be other than temporary.
In April 2016, the Company paid approximately
$45 million
for an equity method investment. In March 2017, the Company determined it had an other than temporary loss in value of its investment and recorded an impairment charge of
$30 million
which is included in other (income) expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
. In September 2017, the investee was dissolved which resulted in a return of capital to the Company and a pre-tax gain of
$4 million
, which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
. The amounts noted in the table above were attributable to the Company's Corporate operations and were therefore not recorded in the Company's operating segments.

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 rented from the Company. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Company's liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was
$448 million
and
$407 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 and governmental investigations. The Company has summarized below the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party to during the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
or the period after

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 (“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 vehicles 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 million
with an additional
$3 million
to be paid to class counsel from the restitution fund. In November 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. Following briefing and oral argument, on January 5, 2017, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the District Court’s holdings on liability and remedy and vacating the judgment. The Ninth Circuit also rejected plaintiffs’ cross-appeal, finding that Hertz’s actions were not deceptive or misleading. On January 19, 2017, plaintiffs asked the entire Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, to rehear the appeal. That petition was rejected on February 15, 2017. Plaintiffs elected not to file a petition seeking a non-mandatory further review by the United States Supreme Court, so this matter is now concluded.
In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation
- In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Old Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it was not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, this case was assigned to a new federal judge in the District of New Jersey, and Old Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations, named additional current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period such that it was alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. On November 4, 2015, Old Hertz Holdings filed its motion to dismiss. Thereafter, a motion was made by plaintiff to add a new plaintiff, because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiffs leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016, and plaintiff filed its opposition to same on May 6, 2016. On June 13, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants filed their reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss. The matter is now fully briefed. On April 28, 2017, the court issued an order wherein Old Hertz Holdings' and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss were granted and the plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint to add a new plaintiff was dismissed with prejudice (the “Order”). On May 30, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Third Circuit has now released a partial briefing schedule for this appeal with the plaintiffs' Opening Brief expected to be filed on or before November 29, 2017.
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 vehicle 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, to that end, it has filed a Defense and Counterclaim. In addition, there have been detailed and intensive exchanges of documents by both parties and taking and exchanging of Witness Statements. The Court has decided to postpone the next hearing date to March/April 2018. In the meantime, the parties participated in a mediation in late July 2017

which resulted in no resolution being reached by the parties. The Company has established a reserve for the matter which is not material.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 - an investigation that has since closed - and starting in June 2016 the Company has had communications with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. The investigations and communications generally involve the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 (the “Old Hertz Holdings 2014 10-K”) and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with all requests related to the foregoing. 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. Among other matters, the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings 2014 Form 10-K addressed a variety of accounting matters involving the Company’s Brazil vehicle rental operations.
Additionally, the Company has identified certain activities in Brazil that raise issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and may raise issues under other federal and local laws, which the Company has self-reported to appropriate government entities and the processes with these government entities continue. The Company is continuing to investigate these issues. The Company has established a reserve relating to the activities in Brazil which is not material. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome with respect to the activities in Brazil and the other issues discussed herein 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.
French Road Tax
- The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several vehicle rental companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions where it is established and where the road tax payable with respect to those vehicles is lower than the road tax payable in the jurisdictions where the vehicles will primarily be used. In respect of a period in 2005, the Company has unsuccessfully appealed the French Tax assessment to the highest Administrative court in France. In respect of a period from 2003 to 2005, following an adverse judgment, the Company appealed the French Tax Authority’s assessment to the Civil Court of Appeal. On March 2, 2017, the Company received an adverse judgment in the road tax appeal from the Civil Court of Appeal in the 2003 to 2005 years. In the third quarter of 2015, following an adverse decision against another industry participant involved in a similar action, the Company recorded charges with respect to this matter of approximately
$23 million
. In January 2016, the Company made a payment of approximately
$9 million
.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company maintains an internal compliance program through which it from time to time identifies other potential violations of laws and regulations applicable to the Company. When the Company identifies such matters, the Company conducts an internal investigation and otherwise cooperates with governmental authorities, as appropriate.
The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including certain of those described above, where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could

exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the accompanying consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
As described in
Note 9
, "
Stock-Based Compensation
", the Company adopted the 2017 EICP on January 1, 2017. PSU awards issued under the 2017 EICP will be included in the denominator of diluted earnings (loss) per share when the required minimum threshold to receive the awards is met. There are no PSU awards issued under the 2017 EICP included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share during the

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information - Hertz
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the
three
and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
and the Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
of (a) The Hertz Corporation, ("Parent”); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Eliminations"); and of (e) Hertz on a consolidated basis.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Facilities and Senior Second Priority Secured Notes, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors. In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Hertz has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Management of Hertz does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to Hertz's investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
During the preparation of the condensed consolidating financial information of The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, it was determined that prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred income taxes, net, due from affiliates and due to affiliates, and the related eliminations at December 31, 2016 as filed in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K were improperly calculated, resulting in a
$915 million
overstatement of prepaid expenses and other assets and due to affiliates of the Parent and an overstatement of due from affiliates and deferred income taxes, net of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The errors, which the Company has determined are not material to this disclosure, had no impact on the net assets of the Parent or the Guarantor Subsidiaries and are eliminated upon consolidation, and therefore have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has revised the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets for the Parent, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations as of December 31, 2016 to correct for these errors.

Subsequent Events
Non-vehicle debt
Senior Facilities
In October 2017, Hertz repaid
$120 million
of borrowings outstanding under the Senior RCF, and after giving effect to such repayment, the Senior RCF was undrawn.
On November 2, 2017, Hertz entered into an agreement amending certain terms of the credit agreement governing its Senior Facilities. The amendment, among other things, (i) amends a covenant to restrict the incurrence of certain non-vehicle indebtedness and to permit the incurrence of additional junior indebtedness to the extent the amount outstanding under the Senior Facilities is less than
$2.4 billion
, (ii) provides that Hertz shall not make certain dividends and certain restricted payments unless a leverage ratio test is satisfied, (iii) amends the amortization of the Senior Term Loan such that it will amortize, payable in equal quarterly installments, in annual amounts equal to
2%
per annum of the original principal amount of the term loans until the maturity date, and (v) amends certain definitions relating to the foregoing. The amendment also provides that Hertz may enter into the Letter of Credit Facility, which Hertz executed simultaneously with the amendment.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the amendment described above, Hertz exercised its right to permanently reduce the amount of available commitments under the Senior RCF by
$383 million
, such that after giving effect to such reduction the Senior RCF consists of a
$1.167 billion
senior secured revolving credit facility.
Senior Notes
On November 3, 2017, Hertz provided an unconditional notice of full redemption to the holders of its
$450 million
in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
6.75% Senior Notes due 2019
. The redemption price for the 2019 Notes will be equal to
100%
of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. Hertz has deposited funds with the trustee of the 2019 Notes to effect such redemption. The redemption date is December 3, 2017.
Letter of Credit Facility
On November 2, 2017, Hertz entered into a letter of credit agreement with respect to a new standalone letter of credit facility. At Hertz’s option and subject to certain conditions, Hertz may request the issuing banks party to the Letter of Credit Facility to issue letters of credit for itself and on behalf of certain of Hertz’s domestic subsidiaries. The Letter of Credit Facility consists of
$400 million
of commitments from the issuing banks party thereto. Availability under the Letter of Credit Facility will be limited to an amount equal to the amount of commitments terminated under the Senior RCF. The Letter of Credit Facility will mature on June 30, 2021. As of November 2, 2017, there was no availability under the Letter of Credit Facility and no letters of credit were issued thereunder on such date.
Senior Second Priority Secured Notes
Hertz has utilized all
$833 million
of the remaining net proceeds from the June 2017 issuance of the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes that it was holding as restricted cash to reduce commitments under the Senior RCF and to effect the redemption of the 2019 Notes as described above.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Hertz Global" or the "Company") is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Hertz"). As Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global, unless otherwise noted. Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global's assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global's revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects and differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we", "our," "us," and the "Company" in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.
Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2016 Form 10‑K and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2017
(this "Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, 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 to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
In this MD&A we refer to certain key metrics and Non-GAAP measures, including the following:
•
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income - 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 Transaction Day ("Total RPD", also referred to as "pricing") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.
•
Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("average vehicles" or "fleet capacity").
•
Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and vehicle utilization. Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period.
•
Vehicle Utilization - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher vehicle utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenue.
•
Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Key metrics and Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above key metrics and Non-GAAP measures are defined, and the Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.
OUR COMPANY
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.
We operate our vehicle rental business globally through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 9,700 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, The Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use vehicle rental companies and our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We have an extensive network of rental locations in the United States ("U.S.") and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain one of the leading airport vehicle rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at major airports in Europe where data regarding vehicle rental concessionaire activity is available. We are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary.
OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. In addition to vehicle rental, we provide comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to adjust fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs, over time to meet expectations of market demand. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.
Our total revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:
•
Vehicle rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with ancillary products associated with vehicle 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 vehicle sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees, including initial franchise fees, are less than 2% of total revenues each period);
•
All other operations revenues - revenues from vehicle leasing and fleet management services and other business activities.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Our expenses primarily consist of:
•
Direct vehicle and 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; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);
•
Depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such vehicles);
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses; and
•
Interest expense, net.
Our Business Segments
We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
•
U.S. Rental Car ("U.S. RAC") - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, in the U.S.;
•
International Rental Car ("International RAC") - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, internationally; and
•
All Other Operations - Comprised of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities
.
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have Corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.
Fleet
We periodically review and adjust the mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet in an effort to optimize the mix of vehicles. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on economic demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. We dispose of our non-program vehicles via auction, dealer-direct and our retail locations. Non-program vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing and title fees. We adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.
Seasonality
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer peak ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, vehicles and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including utilization initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Generally, between 70% and 75% of our annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining costs are fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

decrease in transaction variable expenses, partially offset by a
$12 million
increase in personnel related expenses and a
$7 million
increase in vehicle related expenses. Excluding the
$14 million
impact of foreign currency exchange rates, DOE for International RAC remained flat due to an increase of

We had other income of
$12 million
for the
third
quarter of
2017
, primarily comprised of a
$6 million
pre-tax gain on the sale of our Brazil operations recorded in the International RAC segment and a return of capital from an equity method investment resulting in a

nine months
of 2017. The above changes are primarily related to our U.S. RAC segment and our Corporate operations. As discussed above, we incurred higher information technology transformation program costs in the
nine months
of 2017 versus 2016, and we expect to see continued increases in SG&A expenses for information technology investments for the remainder of 2017 and in 2018.
Vehicle interest expense, net
increase
d
$31 million
, or
15%
, in the
nine months
of
2017
compared to
2016
primarily due to higher market interest rates and higher rates associated with increasing the mix of medium term funding and interest related to the European Vehicle Notes that were issued in the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt for terminated vehicle debt in the
nine months
of 2016 with no comparable loss recorded in the

Non-vehicle interest expense, net
decrease
d
$50 million
, or
19%
, in the
nine months
of
2017
compared to

nine months
of 2017 versus 2016, partially offset by the issuance of the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes in the second quarter of 2017.
We had intangible asset impairments of
$86 million
related to an impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2017 related to the the Dollar Thrifty tradename.
We had other expense of
$19 million
for the
nine months
of
2017
, primarily comprised of a
$30 million
impairment of an equity method investment partially offset by a return of capital resulting in a
$4 million
gain and a
$6 million
pre-tax gain on the sale of our Brazil Operations recorded in the International RAC segment. Other income of
$86 million
for the
nine months
of

was primarily comprised of a $75 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc. and a $9 million settlement gain from an eminent domain case at one of our airport locations.
The effective tax rate in the
nine months
of
2017
was
27%

$107 million
in the
nine months
of
2017
and a provision of
$33 million
in the
nine months
of
2016
. The change was the result of composition of earnings and lower worldwide pre-tax income, and discrete items in the period, including the impact of the adoption of Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting guidance effective January 1, 2017 and the out of period adjustment recorded in second quarter of 2017
The results for discontinued operations are associated with the activities of the Old Hertz Holdings equipment rental business which was spun-off on June 30, 2016.

in our airport business partially offset by an increase of

in our off airport business. Airport transactions days declined due in part to our decision to reduce the fleet size and execute on plans to focus on customer mix to improve the quality of our revenue. Off airport transaction days were up due to growth in our ride-hailing vehicle rentals and were partially offset by fewer retail and replacement rentals during the third quarter of 2017 as well as declines due to our decision to reduce the fleet size and focus on customer mix. Although insurance replacement rentals in regions affected by the hurricanes in 2017 were up, there was an overall decrease in replacement rentals due to a large number of customer vehicle recalls in the third quarter of 2016. Total RPD
increase
d
2%
primarily due to improved rental rates in our retail and domestic tour customer segments, partially offset by the growth of ride-hailing vehicle rentals and a decline in ancillary revenues from vehicle upgrades and insurance related products. Off airport revenues comprised

third
quarter of
2017
as compared to
27%
in the third quarter of

. We estimate that the hurricanes negatively impacted revenue by approximately
$15 million
due to the loss of revenue from business interruption.

DOE for U.S. RAC
decrease
d
$16 million
, or
2%
, primarily due to the following:
•
Vehicle related expenses increased
$7 million
compared to the
third
quarter of 2016, primarily due to:
◦
Increased transportation expense of $11 million due in part to repositioning the fleet in response to the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.
◦
Decreased damage and short term maintenance expense of $6 million driven primarily by a $11 million improvement in customer collections for damage claims resulting from process improvements, partially offset by $6 million in damage charges related to the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.
•
Personnel related expenses increased
$12 million
compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
, primarily due to an increase of $13 million in field wages, overtime and outsourced labor due in part to new customer-oriented initiatives.
•
Transaction variable expenses decreased
$7 million
compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
, primarily due to decreases in optional insurance liability expense due to fewer transaction days.
•
Other direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased
$28 million
year over year primarily due to a decrease of $29 million in restructuring charges mostly comprised of the impairment of certain assets recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and a $6 million decrease due to rent credits as a result of finalization of negotiations on a concession agreement, partially offset by a $6 million increase in commissions due to growth in our on-line travel partner and airline channels.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning vehicles are adjusted on certain vehicles in our vehicle rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning vehicles are sold. Based on the review completed during the
third
quarter of 2017, depreciation rate changes in our U.S. RAC operations resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of
$15 million
. The third quarter of 2017 rate change reflects the stabilization of residual values and a two month increase in the assumed hold period for model year 2017 vehicles to accommodate increased volume in our off airport rentals. Based on the review completed during the
third
quarter of 2016, depreciation rate changes in our U.S. RAC operations resulted in an increase to depreciation expense of
$39 million
.

increase
year over year is primarily due to the impact of decreased DOE and depreciation expense on our revenue earning vehicles as discussed above. Additionally, SG&A for the segment
decrease
d
$5 million
year over year, primarily resulting from decreases in costs for labor-related matters, finance and information technology transformation program costs and other expenses. The above were partially offset by lower revenues.

Compared with
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2016
Total U.S. RAC revenues were
$4.6 billion
in the
nine months
of
2017
, a
decrease
of
$140 million
, or
3%
, from
2016
. Transaction days
decrease
d
3%
driven by declines of
4%
in our airport business and a
1%
decline in our off airport businesses. Airport transaction days were down due to fewer retail customer rentals and due to our decision to reduce the fleet size and focus on customer mix. The decline in our off airport volume reflects the challenging year over year comparison in replacement rentals. Although insurance replacement rentals in regions affected by the hurricanes in 2017 were up, there was an overall decrease in replacement rentals due to a large number of customer vehicle recalls in the nine months of 2016. Additionally, there were off airport volume declines due to our decision to reduce the fleet size and focus on customer mix, partially offset by the growth in our ride-hailing vehicle rentals. Total RPD
decrease
d
1%
due to a decline in ancillary revenues and customer mix, primarily driven by a change from higher yielding corporate contracted and retail rentals to lower yielding domestic tour and ride-hailing vehicle rentals. Off airport revenues comprised
28%
of total revenues for the segment in the
nine months
of
2017
as compared to
27%
for
2016
. We estimate that the hurricanes negatively impacted revenue by approximately
$15 million
due to the loss of revenue from business interruption.
DOE for U.S. RAC
decrease
d
$22 million
, or
1%
, primarily due to the following:
•
Vehicle related expenses increased
$2 million
year over year primarily due to:
•
Decreased damage and short term maintenance expense of $17 million resulting from a $16 million improvement in customer collections for damage claims resulting from process improvements and a $7 million decrease in the costs to prepare program vehicles for turn-back due to a reduction in the number of program vehicles returned to the manufacturer year over year. The improvements were partially offset by $6 million of damage charges related to the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.
•
Increased transportation expense of $10 million due in part to repositioning the fleet in response to the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.
•
Increased maintenance and other vehicle operating expense of $6 million primarily for the reconditioning of certain vehicles.
•
Personnel related expenses increased
$20 million
compared to the
nine months
of
2016
, primarily due to a $24 million increase in field wages, overtime and outsourced labor due in part to new customer-oriented initiatives and a $9 million increase in benefits expense, primarily resulting from an increase in the workers compensation reserve, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in variable incentive compensation.
•
Transaction variable expenses decreased
$23 million
primarily due to decreases in optional insurance liability expense of $25 million due to favorable adjustments based on historical experience and the decrease in transaction days, partially offset by higher fuel expense of $5 million due to higher market fuel prices compared to the nine months of 2016.
•
Other direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased
$21 million
year over year primarily due to a decrease of $33 million of restructuring charges mostly comprised of an impairment of certain assets recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and a $6 million decrease due to rent credits as a result of finalization of negotiations on a concession agreement, partially offset by $7 million of increased commissions due to growth in our on-line travel partner and airline channels and an $11 million increase in other direct vehicle and operating expenses primarily due to charges associated with our Ultimate Choice program.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning vehicles are adjusted on certain vehicles in our vehicle rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning vehicles are sold. Based on the reviews completed during the
nine months
of 2017 and 2016, depreciation rate changes in our U.S.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RAC operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of
$68 million
and
$88 million
, respectively. The 2017 rate change reflects shortened hold periods on certain non-program vehicles as we rebalanced the fleet, our onboarding of a richer mix of premium model year 2017 vehicles, and declining residual values primarily experienced in the first half of the year.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for U.S. RAC
increase
d by
$180 million
, or
14%
, in the
nine months
of
2017
compared to
2016
. The
increase
year over year is primarily the result of higher per vehicle depreciation rates due in part to declining residual values, a richer vehicle mix, the shortened hold periods on certain non-program vehicles as we rebalanced the fleet in the first half of 2017, combined with a slightly larger fleet. Net depreciation per unit per month
increase
d to
$336
in the
nine months
of
2017
compared to
$295
in
2016
.
There was a loss before income taxes for U.S. RAC of
$147 million
in the
nine months
of 2017 compared to income before income taxes of
$207 million
in 2016. The
$354 million
change year over year is due primarily to the impact of increased depreciation expense on our revenue earning vehicles and lower revenues as well as the
$86 million
impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename. Additionally, in the
nine months
of 2016 we had other income of
$11 million
primarily related to a $9 million settlement gain from an eminent domain case at one of our airport locations with no comparable income in 2017. The above were partially offset by a
decrease
of
$24 million
in interest expense, net, decreased DOE and an
$17 million
decrease
in SG&A for the segment, primarily resulting from $19 million of decreases in restructuring related, consulting charges, incentive compensation and other expenses and an $11 million decrease in finance and information technology transformation program costs, partially offset by a $12 million increase primarily due to charges for labor-related matters recorded during the
nine months
of 2017.
Adjusted pre-tax income for U.S. RAC was
$5 million
in the
nine months
of
2017
compared to
$312 million
in the

Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables
(a)
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs 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 our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance, such as net income (loss) from continuing operations or income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The contribution of our reportable segments to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) 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.
(c)
Average vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, average vehicles is used to calculate our vehicle utilization which represents the portion of our vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue.

Total RPD is a key metric that is calculated as total revenue less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates 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 vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The following tables reconcile our rental car segment revenues to our total rental revenue and total revenue per transaction day (based on
December 31, 2016
foreign currency exchange rates) for the periods shown:

Total RPU is a key metric that is calculated as total revenues less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue divided by the average vehicles in each period and then divided by the number of months in the period reported, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to our management as it represents a measurement of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity.

Net depreciation per unit per month is a key metric that is calculated by dividing depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net by the average vehicles 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 exchange rates. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is useful in analyzing underlying trends. Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.
As of
September 30, 2017
, we had
$748 million
of cash and cash equivalents and
$1.0 billion
of restricted cash. Of these amounts, as of
September 30, 2017
,
$106 million
of cash and cash equivalents and
$34 million
of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. If not in the form of loan repayments, repatriation of some of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose

us to additional taxes. We consider cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico to be permanently reinvested.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our U.S. operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the U.S. capital markets, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next twelve months.

During the
nine months
of 2017, there was a reduction of cash inflows of
$112 million
from net income excluding non-cash items, partially offset by a
$42 million
reduction in cash outflows from working capital accounts period over period. The change from working capital accounts was due primarily to a $
115 million
increase in cash related to non-vehicle accounts payable due in part to an increase in payables related to our IT transformation programs and an increase in payables related to certain insurance programs due to timing. The above was partially offset by a
$62 million
decrease in cash due in part to lower restructuring liabilities, lower PLPD liabilities due to a reduction in expenses during the 2017 period and an increase in receivables related to certain insurance programs due to timing of collections.
Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposals of revenue earning vehicles. Cash from the sale of revenue earning vehicles was down
$1.1 billion
due to fewer program vehicles returned to the manufacturer year over year and was partially offset by a
$27 million
decrease in cash outflows for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles as the Company focused on managing its fleet size. Also, cash outflows for the purchase of capital assets increased
$25 million
due primarily to expenditures for information technology and cash inflows from the sale of property and other equipment was down
$35 million
due in part to the sale of our previous corporate headquarters building in the second quarter of 2016. Cash from equity method investments was $9 million from the sale of CAR Inc. common stock during the
nine months
of 2017 compared to $233 million received in the prior year period, offset by a $45 million cash outflow in the prior year period for the purchase of an equity method investment. Additionally, we received net proceeds of
$94 million
from the sale of our Brazil operations in August 2017.
During the
nine months
of 2017, there was a
$3.0 billion
increase in net borrowings, partially offset by the
$2.1 billion
transfer from discontinued operations in the prior year period resulting from the Spin-Off. Under the terms of the credit agreement governing the Senior Facilities, in effect as of September 30, 2017, the use of proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes in June 2017 were limited to refinancing existing indebtedness and funding related expenses. As such, the remaining proceeds as of
September 30, 2017
of approximately
$833 million
were classified as restricted cash and comprised the net change in restricted cash and cash equivalents, non-vehicle during the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017

Fluctuations in operating, investing and financing cash flows from period to period are due to the same factors as those disclosed for Hertz above, with the exception of any cash inflows or outflows related to the master loan agreement between Hertz and Hertz Global and cash outflows by Hertz Global for the purchase of treasury shares. There were no purchases of treasury shares by Hertz Global during the
nine months
of 2017. Cash used in financing activities by Hertz Global for the purchase of treasury shares was
$100 million
during the
nine months
of 2016.
Financing
Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of vehicle and non-vehicle debt, the payment of operating expenses and capital projects and purchases of revenue earning vehicles to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of revenue earning vehicles, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets. Substantially all of our revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.
We are highly leveraged, and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient total liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse effect on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions.
Refer to Part I, Item 1,
Note 7
, "
Debt

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
In October 2017, Hertz repaid the
$120 million
outstanding under the Senior RCF. In November 2017, Hertz amended its Senior Facilities, terminated
$383 million
of commitments under the Senior RCF, entered into a standalone
$400 million
letter of credit facility and extended the maturities of several vehicle debt facilities and provided an irrevocable notice to the holders of its
$450 million
in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
6.75% Senior Notes due 2019
of its election to redeem in full all of the outstanding 2019 Notes and deposited funds with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes to effect such redemption on the redemption date. These transactions are corporate liquidity neutral as of the date of their execution and the principal benefits include:
•
Extending our vehicle debt maturities of approximately
$5.3 billion
(using foreign currency exchange rates as of October 31, 2017) in aggregate principal amount of the Company's global bank-funded vehicle financing facilities through March 2020 and extending our non-vehicle debt maturity runway;
•
Improving the cushion under our consolidated first-lien leverage ratio by reducing outstanding first-lien debt by terminating
$383 million
of available commitments under the Senior RCF. After giving effect to the transactions described above, Hertz’s consolidated first-lien leverage ratio as of September 30, 2017 would have declined from 2.58x to 1.55x;
•
Creating immediate debt incurrence capacity of
$542 million
under the
$2.4 billion
credit facilities basket contained in our Senior Facilities as long as such debt incurred is, among other things, junior to the Company’s first-lien debt. If we elect to utilize such capacity, the proceeds from such newly incurred debt would not be required to be used to refinance debt and may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries; and
•
To the extent the Company elects to utilize the $400 million Letter of Credit Facility for letters of credit issued, or relating to liabilities or obligations incurred, in the ordinary course of business, the Company would further increase such debt incurrence capacity, and the proceeds of any debt that the Company elects to incur utilizing such additional capacity would also be available for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Refer to
Note 19
, "
Subsequent Events
," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for further information on the above transactions. Amounts for principal and interest payments subsequent to the above transactions are presented in the Contractual Obligations section of this MD&A below.
Subsequent to the November 2017 transactions described above, approximately $1.8 billion of vehicle debt and $23 million of non-vehicle debt will mature during the twelve months following the issuance of this Report (the "next twelve months") and the Company will need to refinance a portion of the debt. We have reviewed the maturing debt obligations and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to repay or refinance these facilities at such times as the Company determines appropriate prior to their maturities. We believe that cash generated from operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.
Covenants
The indentures for the Senior Notes and Senior Second Priority Secured Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.
Certain of the Company's other debt instruments and credit facilities (including the Senior 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, share repurchases 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.
The Senior RCF contains a financial maintenance covenant that is only applicable to the Senior RCF. Such covenant provides that Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior RCF (the "Senior RCF Credit Agreement"), as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (the "Covenant Leverage Ratio"), may not exceed the ratios indicated below:
Fiscal Quarter(s) Ending
Maximum Ratio
September 30, 2017
3.25
to
1.00
December 31, 2017 and each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 ending thereafter
3.00
to
1.00
At
September 30, 2017
, Hertz was in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio with a ratio of 2.58 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Senior RCF Credit Agreement and when adjusted to include the November 2017 transactions discussed above, would have been 1.55 to 1:00. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement, is a component of the calculation of the Covenant Leverage Ratio and is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not a measure of operating results, but instead is a measure used to determine compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio under the Senior RCF Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement as consolidated net income plus the sum of income taxes, non-vehicle interest expense, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization expense, and non-cash charges or losses, as further adjusted for certain other items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Senior RCF, including add-backs for non-recurring, unusual or extraordinary charges, business optimization expenses or other restructuring charges or reserves.
Based on available liquidity from our expected operating results, the Senior RCF and other financing arrangements, Hertz expects to continue to be in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio for at least the next twelve months.

Amounts represent the estimated commitment fees and interest payments based on the principal amounts, minimum non-cancelable maturity dates and applicable interest rates on the debt at September 30, 2017.
There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations as set forth in the table included in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2016 Form 10‑K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
Indemnification Obligations
There have been no significant changes to our indemnification obligations as compared to those disclosed in Note 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10‑K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with indemnification obligations and will accrue for expected losses when they are probable and estimable.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.
We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2016 Form 10-K. On January 1, 2017, we prospectively adopted guidance that eliminates the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure an impairment. Rather, a goodwill impairment charge will be calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Under the guidance, we still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
On January 1, 2017, we also adopted guidance that simplifies several areas of employee share-based payment accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows. Most significantly, the new guidance eliminates the need to track tax “windfalls” in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recorded within income tax expense. For details regarding the method of adoption, refer to Part I, Item 1,
Note 2
"
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2017 EICP which provides for PSUs where the service inception date precedes the grant date. The fair value is based on the anticipated number of shares awarded and the quoted price of the Company’s shares at each reporting date up to the grant date. Compensation charges accumulate as a liability until the grant date, at which time the liability will be reclassified to equity. Additionally, under the 2016 Omnibus Plan, we issued PSAs with graded vesting where the compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award. For details regarding the 2017 EICP and PSAs described above, refer to Part I, Item 1,

Note 2
").
As disclosed in
Note 2
, the Company will adopt Topic 606 on January 1, 2018. The Company believes that the most significant impact relates to its accounting for reward points earned by customers under its loyalty programs. Upon adoption of Topic 606, each transaction which generates loyalty reward points will result in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value of the redemption of the loyalty reward points. The associated revenue will be recognized at the time when the customer redeems the loyalty reward points. Under the current guidance, there is no revenue deferral and the Company records an expense associated with the incremental cost of providing the future rental at the time when the loyalty reward points are earned. The Company is in the process of quantifying the impact of deferring revenue associated with reward points upon adoption of Topic 606.
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 ("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.
Important factors that could affect our actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, among others, those that may be disclosed from time to time in subsequent reports filed

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Hertz Global and Hertz are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. Hertz Global and Hertz manage their exposure to these market risks through their regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage Hertz Global and Hertz's exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.
Hertz Global
In the second quarter of 2017, Hertz Global identified a new 5 percent shareholder of its common stock that resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Due to the net unrealized built-in gains from its like-kind exchange programs, Hertz Global does not anticipate that this will have an impact on its taxes or that it will lose any of its net operating losses. Other than as described above, there have been no material changes to the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in Hertz Global's 2016 Form 10‑K.
Hertz
There is no material change in the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in Hertz's 2016 Form 10‑K.

HERTZ GLOBAL
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, 2017, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” included in our 2016 Form 10-K (“Item 9A”), 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, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As a part of our financial systems modernization initiative, in July 2017 we implemented a new chart of accounts in North America and in September 2017 we implemented a new claims management system for North America damage collections monitoring.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we have taken, and continue to take, the actions described below to remediate our existing material weaknesses, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Control Activities
Accounting Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with controls over accounting estimates related to allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, management completed the design and implementation of controls to remediate the non-fleet procurement and risk assessment material weakness related to fleet key reports and spreadsheets used in the determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles.
Risk Assessment
To address the material weakness of risk assessment, during the three months ended September 2017, management completed the design of several internal controls over financial reporting to appropriately address the risk at the two entities which were contributory factors to this material weakness.
Information Technology Systems
To address the material weakness associated with controls over IT, management performed the following during the three months ended September 30, 2017: (1) continued to enhance and implement controls to monitor developers' access to production, (2) performed additional training to owners of IT user and administrator access review, (3) updated existing technology tools to assist in the identification of conflicts in the general ledger and (4) designed and implemented controls to monitor segregation of duties in the general ledger.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
System-Generated Reports and Spreadsheets Related to Revenue Earning Vehicles Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports and spreadsheets used in the accounting for estimates related to revenue earning vehicles, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, management completed the design and implementation of controls to validate the completeness and accuracy of the data used in these estimates.
To remediate our existing material weaknesses, we require additional time to complete the implementation of our remediation plans and demonstrate the effectiveness of our remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, our senior management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation efforts described in this section. Until the remediation efforts discussed in this section, including any additional remediation efforts that our senior management identifies as necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described in Item 9A will continue to exist.
