Note 1—Background

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

In March 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved plans to separate Hertz Holdings into two independent, publicly traded companies. One of the companies, Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. ("HRCHC") will continue to operate the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly car rental businesses as well as Donlen; and the other, HERC Holdings, Inc. ("HERC Holdings") will operate the Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation ("HERC"). The Company expects to separate the businesses in a tax-efficient manner. In respect of the separation, in December 2015 HRCHC filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which was amended in February and April 2016.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016 (the "2015 Form 10-K"), and as amended on March 4, 2016 (the "2015 Form 10-K/A").

As disclosed below in "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," the Company retrospectively adopted the guidance "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" on January 1, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hertz Holdings and its wholly and majority owned domestic and international subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

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

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires that a performance target in a share-based payment award that affects vesting and that can be achieved after the requisite service period is completed is to be accounted for as a performance condition; therefore, compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unaudited

that the performance target will be achieved, and the amount of compensation cost recognized should be based on the portion of the service period fulfilled. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the concept of an event or transaction that is unusual in nature and occurs infrequently being treated as an extraordinary item. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit and other revolving debt arrangements may be deferred and presented as an asset. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. The impact of adopting this above guidance as of December 31, 2015 was as follows (in millions):



	Prepaid expenses and other assets			Total assets			Debt			Total liabilities			Total liabilities and equity
As previously reported	$	846		$	23,358		$	15,907		$	21,339		$	23,358
Reclass from asset to debt liability	(73		)	(73		)	(73		)	(73		)	(73		)
As adjusted	$	773		$	23,285		$	15,834		$	21,266		$	23,285

Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s equity, results of operations or cash flows.

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

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance for customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments for Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period of a business combination to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, rather than retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unaudited

accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Adopted

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The 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. The new principles-based revenue recognition model requires an entity to perform five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Under the new guidance, performance obligations in a contract will be separately identified, which may impact the timing of recognition of the revenue allocated to each obligation. The measurement of revenue recognized may also be impacted by identification of new performance obligations and other provisions, such as collectability and variable consideration. The guidance will impact the Company’s accounting for certain contracts and its Hertz #1 Gold Plus Rewards liability. 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 new guidance may be adopted on either a full or modified retrospective basis. As issued, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date of the guidance until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued clarifying guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction, which impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. The Company is in the process of determining the method and timing of adoption and assessing the overall impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that makes several changes to the manner in which financial assets and liabilities are accounted for, including, among other things, a requirement to measure most equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (with the exception of investments that are consolidated or accounted for using the equity method or a fair value practicability exception), and amends certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements and financial assets and liabilities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method for most of the requirements. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that replaces the existing lease guidance. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance will impact leases of our rental locations, as we own approximately 3% of the locations from which we operate our car rental businesses, in addition to leases of other assets. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. Accounting guidance for lessors is largely unchanged. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when significant influence over a previously held investment is obtained. Rather, the guidance requires the investor to add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Based on current operations, no material impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows is expected upon adoption of this guidance. However, the Company will reassess the impacts of this guidance upon adoption.

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. This will result in the Company reclassifying excess tax benefits from additional paid-in capital to retained earnings on the balance sheet. The new guidance also gives entities the ability to elect whether to estimate forfeitures or account for them as they occur. Different adoption methods are required for the various aspects of the new guidance, including the retrospective, modified retrospective and prospective approaches, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of assessing the impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3—Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Hertz Franchises

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

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



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

Divestitures

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 Company's 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 will be 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%. Additionally, the Company is no longer able to exercise significant influence over CAR Inc. and as a result, discontinued the equity method of accounting for this investment. The Company has classified the investment as an available for sale security as of March 31, 2016. This investment is presented within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements," for the fair value of the Company's available for sale securities at March 31, 2016.

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

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, so that its operations are unaffected by adverse financial market conditions.

The Class D Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes of such series. An affiliate of HVF II purchased the Class D Notes of each such series, therefore, approximately $61 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation.

HVF II U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes

The net proceeds from the issuance of the HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes and HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes, together with available cash, were used to repay approximately $741 million of the outstanding principal amount of the HVF II Series 2014-A Notes and approximately $264 million of the outstanding principal amount of the HVF II Series 2013-A Notes.

Cash Restrictions

Certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Fleet Debt facilities and the Like-Kind Exchange Program ("LKE Program"). As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with the Fleet Debt facilities was $298 million and $289 million, respectively. Restricted cash balances fluctuate based on the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles and could also be impacted by the occurrence of an amortization event (an event that results in the amortization of indebtedness prior to its expected maturity).

Special Purpose Entities

Substantially all of the revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance Corp., DNRS II LLC, HFLF, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors.

Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets of $400 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities of $400 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.

Financial Covenant Compliance

Under the terms of the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, the Company is not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Company to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

Note 6—Employee Retirement Benefits

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

Note 10—Taxes on Income (Loss)

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 26% and 19%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2016 is expected to be approximately 42%.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a tax benefit of $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change was the result of the composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the first quarter of 2016.

Note 11—Financial Instruments

The Company has risk exposures that it has historically used financial instruments to manage. None of the instruments have been designated in a hedging relationship as of March 31, 2016.

Interest Rate Risk

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

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

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

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

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

Cash Equivalents and Investments

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

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

The Company's long-lived assets held for sale are comprised of its previous corporate headquarters building in Park Ridge, New Jersey and a property in its U.S. Car Rental segment. The fair value less cost to sell of the long-lived assets held for sale were assessed at March 31, 2016. The Company uses market and income approaches to value the long-lived assets, including inputs such as expected cash flows and recent comparable transactions.

Legal Proceedings

Public Liability and Property Damage

The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from the Company. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on the Company's balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $413 million and $402 million, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that the Company may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Other Matters

From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings. The Company has summarized below the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party to during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the period after March 31, 2016 but before the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q.

Concession Fee Recoveries - In October 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company (“Enterprise”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Enterprise became a defendant in a separate action which they have now settled.) The Sobel case is a consumer class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges during the class period. In October 2014, the court entered final judgment against the Company and directed Hertz to pay the class approximately $42 million in restitution and $11 million in prejudgment interest, and to pay attorney's fees of $3.1 million with an additional $3.1 million to be paid from the restitution fund. In December 2014, Hertz timely filed an appeal of that final judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the plaintiffs cross appealed the court's judgment seeking to challenge the lower court's ruling that Hertz did not deceive or mislead the class members. The matter has now been fully briefed by the parties. No oral argument date has been set. The Company continues to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. 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, Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Hertz Holdings' motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and 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 Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations 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, 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. Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016 and on May 6, 2016, plaintiff filed its opposition to same. Hertz Holdings believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against the complaint, but litigation

is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to Hertz Holdings. However, Hertz Holdings is currently unable to estimate the range of these possible losses, but they could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

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

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

Governmental Investigations - In June 2014, the Company was advised by the staff of the New York Regional Office of the SEC that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information regarding the same events. The investigations generally involve the restatements included in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with both the SEC and state requests. Due to the stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material. Among other matters, the restatements included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K addressed a variety of accounting matters involving the Company’s Brazil rental car operations. The Company has identified certain activities in Brazil that may raise issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local laws, which the Company has self-reported to appropriate government entities. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this issue or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which could be material.

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

French Road Tax - The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several rental car companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions where 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. This appeal is currently awaiting judgment. In the third quarter of 2015, following an adverse decision against another industry participant involved in a similar action, the Company has recorded charges with respect to this matter of approximately $23 million during 2015. In January 2016, the Company made a payment of approximately $9 million.

The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including certain of those described above, where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

In March 2016, the Company, as plaintiff, received a $9 million settlement related to a 2013 eminent domain case associated with one of the Company’s airport locations. The settlement gain is included in other (income) expense, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Indemnification Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the Company's indemnification obligations as compared to those disclosed in Note 16, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Note 14—Segment Information

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


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

•

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


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


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

In addition to the above reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate") which includes general corporate assets and expenses and certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt).

Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important because it allows management to assess operational performance of its business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess the Company's operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of the Company's financial performance, such as net income (loss) or income (loss) before income taxes.

The increase in total assets for the International Car Rental segment is due to an increase in cash partially due to the proceeds from the sale of CAR Inc. shares, which were not transferred to Corporate, and an increase in additional fleet acquired to meet seasonal leisure demand during the summer period. Refer to "Note 3—Acquisitions and Divestitures" for additional information related to the share sale. The increase in total assets for the U.S Car Rental segment is also the result of additional fleet acquired in order to meet upcoming seasonal demands, partially offset by lower receivables from fleet sales.

Note 15—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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.

HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes: In April 2016, HFLF issued the Series 2016-1 Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E (collectively, the “HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The expected maturity of the HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes is February 2019 to April 2019, based upon assumptions made at the time of the pricing of the HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes. The HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes (other than the Class A-2 Notes which are fixed rate) are floating rate and carry an interest rate based upon a spread to one-month LIBOR. An affiliate of HFLF purchased the Class E Notes, therefore, approximately $15 million of the obligation will be eliminated in consolidation.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the HFLF Series 2016-1 Notes, together with available cash, were used to repay $400 million of amounts then-outstanding under the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes.

Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility

In April 2016, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the maturity of the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility was extended from April 2016 to October 2016.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in the 2015 Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2016 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

In this MD&A we refer to certain Non-GAAP measures, including the following:

•

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income - important to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally.


•	Total Revenue Per Day ("Total RPD") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control.


•	Revenue Per Available Car Day ("RACD") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and provides a measure of revenue production relative to overall capacity.

•

Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days. It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and fleet efficiency. Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period. Late in the third quarter of 2015 we fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, we determined that there was an impact to the calculation and we estimate that transaction days for the US RAC segment will increase by approximately 1% prospectively relative to historical calculations through the third quarter of 2016. This will also prospectively impact key metrics calculations that utilize transaction days, although to a lesser extent.


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

•

Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, is one of our largest expenses for the car rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our fleet and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the car rental industry.


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

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


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


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

Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above Non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measure in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.

OUR COMPANY

Hertz and its predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We operate our car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands from approximately 10,000 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use car 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 car rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at approximately 125 major airports in Europe where data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. Our equipment rental business is operated through the Hertz Equipment Rental brand from 293 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. In addition to car rental and equipment rental businesses, we are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated fleet 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 of cars through our Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly brands and equipment through our Hertz Equipment Rental brand. In addition to car rental and equipment rental businesses, we provide comprehensive, integrated fleet 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 dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment, the related ownership cost of equipment and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of cars and equipment or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

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

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

•

Car rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated car rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with ancillary products associated with car rentals, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage, parking and other products and fees, ancillary products associated with the retail car sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees;


•	Equipment rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated equipment rental operations, including amounts charged to customers for the fueling and delivery of equipment and sale of loss damage waivers, as well as revenues from the sale of new equipment, used revenue earning equipment, parts and supplies; and


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

Table of Contents

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 operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; the cost of new equipment and consumables purchased for resale; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning equipment, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);


•	Depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning equipment (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such equipment). Revenue earning equipment includes cars and rental equipment;


•	Selling, general and administrative expenses; and


•	Interest expense, net.

Our Business Segments

We have identified four reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:


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


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


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


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

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

Fleet

We periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program cars in our fleet. Program cars generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. When we increase the percentage of program cars the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. Non-program cars disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing, during disposition. We adjust the ratio of program and non-program cars in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.

Seasonality

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. More than half of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining costs are fixed or semi-fixed.

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


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

We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, 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. Revenues related to our fleet leasing and fleet management services are generally not seasonal.

2016 Operating Overview

The following provides an overview of our business and financial performance in 2016 and key factors influencing our results:


•	Total revenue for the U.S. Car Rental segment for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by 8% as compared to first quarter of 2015 driven by a 10% decline in Total RPD, partially offset by a 2% increase in transaction days;


•	Net depreciation per unit per month in the U.S. Car Rental segment was up 6% to $303 from $287 for the first quarter of 2016 versus 2015;


•	Excluding the impact of foreign currency, total revenues for our International Car Rental segment increased $23 million, or 6%, driven by a 2% increase in Total RPD, on a constant currency basis, and a 3% increase in transaction days for the first quarter of 2016 versus 2015;


•	On a constant currency basis, net depreciation per unit per month in the International Car Rental segment was down 7% to $194 from $208 for the first quarter of 2016 versus 2015;

•	Excluding the impact of foreign currency, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net for our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment increased $15 million, or 20% in first quarter of 2016 when compared with 2015;


•	Incurred approximately $13 million during the first quarter of 2016 in costs associated with the anticipated separation of the Worldwide Equipment Rental business, versus $9 million during the first quarter of 2015;


•	Recorded zero net impairments and asset write-downs during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $20 million during the first quarter of 2015;


•	Recorded $8 million in finance and information technology transformation costs during the first quarter of 2016 with no comparable costs in the first quarter of 2015;

•

Recorded $12 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $20 million during the first quarter of 2015. Included in these amounts were $4 million during the first quarter of 2016 in consulting, audit and legal costs associated with the restatement and investigation activities, as compared to $10 million during the first quarter of 2015; and


•	In the first quarter of 2016, we sold 204 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for net proceeds of approximately $233 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $75 million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Total revenues decreased $143 million, or 6%, primarily due to decreases in revenues in our U.S. Car Rental segment of $114 million and our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment of $27 million. Lower revenue in our U.S. Car Rental segment was predominantly the result of lower rental rates. Volume in our U.S. Car Rental segment increased 2%, up 4% in our airport business and was flat in our off-airport business. Lower revenue in our Worldwide Equipment rental segment was primarily due to continuing weakness in upstream oil and gas markets and a decrease of 4% in worldwide volumes in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015 due to the sale of our equipment rental operations in France and Spain in October 2015. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues in the International Car Rental segment increased $23 million period over period.

The decrease in direct operating expenses of $67 million, or 5%, was primarily comprised of a decrease in our U.S. Car Rental segment of $56 million, due to a $21 million decrease in fleet related expense, an $18 million decrease in personnel related expenses and an $17 million decrease in other direct operating expenses, as compared to the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, direct operating expenses for our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment decreased $24 million due to the impact of the sale of our France and Spain equipment rental operations of $14 million, lower amortization of $7 million due to customer list intangibles that became fully amortized at December 31, 2015, and lower outside maintenance expenses of $2 million. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in direct operating expenses of our International Car Rental segment of $12 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, direct operating expenses in our International Car Rental segment increased $29 million due to a favorable impact to other direct operating expenses of $16 million in 2015 resulting from non-recurring items. Additionally, vehicle damage expense increased $6 million and third party insurance expense increased $4 million.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net in the first quarter 2016 was flat compared to the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to an increase in our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment of $14 million driven by a larger fleet size as compared to the first quarter of 2015 and a loss on sale of revenue earning equipment in the first quarter of 2016 of $8 million compared to a gain of $7 million in 2015. The increase was offset by a decrease of $9 million in our International Car Rental segment driven by the impact of foreign currency of $5 million and improved fleet procurement, fleet mix changes and optimized remarketing channels and a decrease of $4 million in our All Other Operations segment due to a decrease at Donlen as a result of lower average fleet. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net in our U.S. Car Rental segment was flat period over period.

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

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was also flat during the year as slight decreases in expense in our International Car Rental segment, Worldwide Equipment Rental segment and Corporate were offset by a $6 million increase in SG&A in our U.S. Car Rental segment due primarily to costs incurred in the first quarter of 2016 related to finance and information technology transformation.

Interest expense, net increased $3 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher interest rates on some of our fleet debt reflecting an increase in the mix of term debt, partially offset by the impact of lower balances of corporate debt.

Other income of $91 million in the first quarter 2016 is primarily comprised of a $75 million gain on the sale of CAR Inc. common stock and a $9 million settlement gain related to one of our U.S. airport locations. Other expense of $5 million in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily comprised of $10 million of impairment charges and asset write-downs, partially offset by our share of earnings from our equity method and joint venture investments.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 26% as compared to 19% in the first quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2016 is expected to be approximately 42%. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $18 million in the first quarter 2016 as compared to a benefit of $16 million in the first quarter 2015. The change was the result of the composition of earnings by jurisdiction in the first quarter of 2016.

We had an adjusted pre-tax loss of $83 million in the first quarter 2016 compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $3 million in the first quarter 2015.

Total U.S. Car Rental segment revenues were $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 8% from the first quarter of 2015. A 10% decrease in Total RPD, driven primarily by lower rental rates resulting from competitive pricing pressure in the industry, was partially offset by a 2% increase in transaction days during the quarter. Volume in our U.S. Car Rental segment increased 4% in our airport business, as 2016 included an additional day due to a leap year

coupled with the Easter holiday falling in the first quarter of 2016 versus the second quarter of 2016, and was flat in our off-airport business. Off airport revenues comprised 26% of total revenues for the segment in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 25% in the first quarter of 2015.

Direct operating expenses for our U.S. car rental segment decreased $56 million, or 6%, primarily comprised of the following:


•	Fleet related expenses decreased $21 million year over year primarily due to:


◦	Decreased collision and short term maintenance expense of $8 million driven primarily by process improvements leading to increased customer collections on damage claims;


◦	Decreased maintenance costs of $6 million due primarily to a reduction in the average age and size of the fleet, thus requiring less maintenance as compared to 2015 and improved pricing through parts and supplier sourcing; and


◦	Decreased other vehicle operating costs of $4 million due to a lower average fleet and a decrease in theft related expenses.


•	Personnel related expenses decreased $18 million from the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to centralization of workforce management and improved scheduling tools delivering improved productivity.

•

Other direct operating expenses decreased $17 million from the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to decreased fuel costs of $8 million due to lower market fuel pricing and decreased transaction variable costs of $13 million resulting from reduced revenues, partially offset by a $5 million increase in non-fleet depreciation expense due to the acceleration of depreciation at one of our airport locations.

Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes in our U.S. car rental operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $27 million and $30 million based on the reviews completed during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015. The rate changes reflect declining residual values and a reduction in the planned hold period of certain vehicles.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net was flat when compared with the first quarter of 2015. Net depreciation per unit per month increased to $303 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $287 in the first quarter of 2015 due to shorter planned holding periods and decreased residual values.

We had a loss before income taxes of $22 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to income before income taxes of $35 million in the prior year period. The loss was driven by the impact of lower revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of lower direct operating expenses.

We had an adjusted pre-tax loss of $4 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted pre-tax income of $71 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Total revenues for the International Car Rental segment decreased $3 million, or 1%, when compared with the prior-year period. Excluding a $26 million impact of foreign currency, total revenues increased $23 million, or 6%, driven by a 2% increase in Total RPD, on a constant currency basis, and a 3% increase in transaction days, as 2016 included an additional day due to a leap year coupled with the Easter holiday falling in the first quarter of 2016 versus the second quarter of 2016.

Direct operating expenses for our International Car Rental segment increased $12 million, or 4%, from the prior year. Excluding a $17 million impact of foreign currency, direct operating expenses increased approximately $29 million, or 12%, primarily due to the favorable impact to other direct operating expenses of $16 million in 2015 resulting from non-recurring items. Additionally, vehicle damage expense increased $6 million and third party insurance expense increased $4 million.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net for our International Car Rental segment decreased $9 million, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2015. Excluding the $5 million impact of foreign currency, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net decreased $4 million, or 5%. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased 7% to $194 from $208 year over year, excluding currency effects on a constant currency basis, due to improved fleet procurement, fleet mix changes and optimized remarketing channels.

Our International Car Rental segment had a pretax loss of $1 million in the first quarter 2016 as compared to income of $2 million in the first quarter 2015 due to the factors discussed above.

Adjusted pre-tax income was $3 million for our International Car Rental segment in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to $8 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Total revenues for the Worldwide Equipment Rental segment decreased $27 million, or 8%, when compared with the prior-year period and decreased $23 million, excluding the $4 million impact of foreign currency. Revenues were negatively affected by continuing weakness in upstream oil and gas markets and the sale of our equipment rental operations in France and Spain in October 2015, which negatively impacted revenue in the first quarter of 2016 by $19 million. Worldwide equipment rental volumes declined 4% in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015 primarily due to the sale of our equipment rental operations in France and Spain. Excluding this impact, volumes increased 1% due to new account growth in non-oil and gas markets. Pricing for the first quarter was unchanged year-over-year.

Revenue in upstream oil and gas markets represented approximately 18% of total revenues for the Worldwide Equipment Rental segment, on a constant currency basis, in the first quarter of 2016. Upstream oil and gas market revenue was down approximately 33% as compared to the first quarter of 2015, as major oil producers reduced spending. In contrast, all other North American rental and rental-related revenue increased approximately 12% in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015.

Direct operating expenses for our Worldwide Equipment Rental segment decreased $24 million in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015, and decreased $21 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of the sale of our France and Spain equipment rental operations on October 30, 2015 of $14 million, lower amortization of $7 million due to customer list intangibles that became fully amortized at December 31, 2015, and lower outside maintenance expenses of $2 million as more maintenance was performed by internal mechanics. These decreases were partially offset by higher salary related expenses associated with a reinvestment in branch management to drive operational processes.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net increased $14 million, or 18% in first quarter of 2016 when compared with 2015, and increased $15 million excluding the impact of foreign currency. The increase was driven by a larger fleet size as compared to the first quarter of 2015 and a loss on sale of revenue earning equipment in the first quarter of 2016 of $8 million compared to a gain of $7 million in 2015. The loss on sale of revenue earning

equipment in 2016 was primarily due to the sales of equipment used in the upstream oil and gas markets and equipment manufactured by certain suppliers as we are reducing the number of brands of equipment we carry in our fleet.

We had no income before income taxes in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $11 million in the first quarter of 2015, due to the factors discussed above.

Adjusted pre-tax income decreased $21 million, or 64%. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.

(a)

Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus certain non-cash purchase accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and nonoperational items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance, such as net income (loss) or income (loss) before income tax. The contribution of our reportable segments to adjusted pre-tax income and reconciliation to the most comparable consolidated GAAP measure are presented below:

(b)

Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period. Late in the third quarter of 2015 the Company fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, Hertz determined that there was an impact to the calculation. Hertz expects that transaction days for the U.S. Car Rental segment will increase by approximately 1% prospectively relative to the historic calculations through the third quarter of 2016.

Total RPD is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated as total revenue less ancillary retail car sales revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is useful in analyzing underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

Revenue per available car day is calculated as total revenues less ancillary retail car sales revenue, divided by available car days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to our management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and provides a measure of revenue production relative to overall capacity.

Net depreciation per unit per month is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net by the average fleet in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is useful in analyzing underlying trends. Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month.

Worldwide equipment rental and rental related revenue is a Non-GAAP measure that consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency (based on December 31, 2015 foreign exchange rates). Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it reflects time and mileage and ancillary charges for equipment on rent and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our worldwide equipment rental segment revenues, the most comparable GAAP measure, to our worldwide equipment rental and rental related revenue (based on the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control).

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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 March 31, 2016, we had $857 million of cash and cash equivalents and $353 million of restricted cash. Of these amounts, $547 million of cash and cash equivalents and $34 million of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. 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 this cash to be permanently

reinvested. We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our U.S. operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, 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 in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $857 million, an increase of $371 million from $486 million as of December 31, 2015. The following table summarizes the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2016			2015			$ Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	577		$	782		$	(205	)
Investing activities	(417		)	(1,166		)	749
Financing activities	199			499			(300		)
Effect of exchange rate changes	12			(20		)	32
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	371		$	95		$	276

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated $205 million less cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily related to a $62 million reduction in net income excluding non-cash items, and a $143 million change in working capital period over period.

Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment, see "Capital Expenditures" below. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we used less cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in proceeds from disposals of revenue earning equipment of $721 million partially offset by an increase in revenue earning equipment expenditures of $189 million. Additionally, we received proceeds of $233 million from the sale of common stock of CAR Inc. during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash provided by financing activities decreased by $300 million compared with the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $303 million decrease in net borrowings.

The effect of exchange rates on our cash during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was an increase in cash of $12 million as compared to a reduction in cash of $20 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Financing

Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of corporate and fleet related debt, the payment of operating expenses and capital projects and purchases of rental vehicles and equipment to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, borrowings under our asset-backed securitizations and our asset-based revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $16,072 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $102 million. Accordingly, we are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by each of Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, HVF II GP Corp., Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance Corp., DNRS II LLC, Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate our international

securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. For further information on our indebtedness, see Note 5, "Debt," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for more information.

Our liquidity as of March 31, 2016 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and unused commitments under our fleet debt, see "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, so that its operations are unaffected by adverse financial market conditions.

We believe that cash generated from operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

2016 Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 we had the following financing activities:

HVF II U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes

In February 2016, HVF II issued the Series 2016-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (collectively, the “HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes”) and Series 2016-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (collectively, the “HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.06 billion. The expected maturities of the HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes and the HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes are March 2019 and March 2021, respectively. The HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes are comprised of approximately $333 million aggregate principal amount of 2.32% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $81 million aggregate principal amount of 3.72% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C, and $27 million aggregate principal amount of 5.73% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. The HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes are comprised of approximately $425 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $104 million aggregate principal amount of 3.94% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $32 million aggregate principal amount of 4.99% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C, and $34 million aggregate principal amount of 5.97% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. The Class B Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes of such series. The Class C Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes of such series. The Class D Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes of such series. An affiliate of HVF II purchased the Class D Notes of each such series, therefore, approximately $61 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation.

HVF II U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes

See also Note 16 "Subsequent Events" regarding financing transactions occurring subsequent to March 31, 2016.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

Our borrowing capacity and availability comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


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

We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

As of March 31, 2016, the following facilities were available to us:



(In millions)	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
Corporate Debt
Senior ABL Facility	$	1,488	$	1,481
Total Corporate Debt	1,488		1,481
Fleet Debt
HVF II U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes	2,125		—
HFLF Variable Funding Notes	50		—
European Revolving Credit Facility	—		—
European Securitization	192		4

Australian Securitization	94		—
Capitalized Leases	50		1
Total Fleet Debt	2,610		5
Total	$	4,098	$	1,486

As of March 31, 2016, the Senior ABL Facility had $1.03 billion available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2016, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $628 million. Of this amount, $615 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the “Senior Credit Facilities.” As of March 31, 2016, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Covenants

We refer to Hertz and its subsidiaries as the Hertz credit group. The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.

Certain of our other debt instruments and credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, 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.

Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz

credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2016, we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

Additionally, the documentation of various of our (and/or our special purpose subsidiaries’) financing facilities requires us to file certain quarterly and annual reports and certain of our subsidiaries to file statutory financial statements within certain time periods.

For additional information regarding our debt and covenants, see Note 5, "Debt," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt" to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For a discussion of the risks associated with our significant indebtedness, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, we announced that the Board approved a $1 billion share repurchase program (the "2014 share repurchase program"). There were no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the approximate dollar value of shares that remains available for purchase under the 2014 share repurchase program is $396 million.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Part I, Item I, Note 5, "Debt," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, however, these changes did not significantly revise our future estimated interest payments from those which are set forth in the Contractual Obligations table included in Part II Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2016, there have been no other material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations.

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 16, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

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 with the SEC and those described under "Item 1A—Risk Factors" included in our 2015 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include without limitation:


•	any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result of the restatement of our previously issued financial results;


•	our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting described in Item 9A of our Form 10-K/A filed on March 4, 2016;


•	the effect of our proposed separation of HERC and ability to obtain the expected benefits of any related transaction;


•	levels of travel demand, particularly with respect to airline passenger traffic in the United States and in global markets;


•	significant changes in the competitive environment, including as a result of industry consolidation, and the effect of competition in our markets on rental volume and pricing, including on our pricing policies or use of incentives;


•	an increase in our fleet costs as a result of an increase in the cost of new vehicles and/or a decrease in the price at which we dispose of used vehicles either in the used vehicle market or under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs;


•	occurrences that disrupt rental activity during our peak periods;


•	our ability to achieve and maintain cost savings and efficiencies and realize opportunities to increase productivity and profitability;


•	our ability to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the size and mix of our fleet accordingly;


•	our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and the availability to us of additional or continued sources of financing for our revenue earning equipment and to refinance our existing indebtedness;


•	our ability to realize the operational efficiencies of the acquisition of the car rental operations of Dollar Thrifty;


•	our ability to maintain access to third-party distribution channels, including current or favorable prices, commission structures and transaction volumes;


•	an increase in our fleet costs or disruption to our rental activity, particularly during our peak periods, due to safety recalls by the manufacturers of our vehicles and equipment;


•	changes to our senior management team;

Table of Contents

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


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


•	a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks;


•	financial instability of the manufacturers of our vehicles and equipment, which could impact their ability to perform under agreements with us and/or their willingness or ability to make cars available to us or the car rental industry on commercially reasonable terms;


•	any impact on us from the actions of our franchisees, dealers and independent contractors;


•	our ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease);


•	shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs;


•	our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete dispositions;


•	our ability to maintain favorable brand recognition;


•	costs and risks associated with litigation and investigations;


•	risks related to our indebtedness, including our substantial amount of debt, our ability to incur substantially more debt and increases in interest rates or in our borrowing margins;


•	our ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in our Senior Credit Facilities, our outstanding unsecured Senior Notes and certain asset-backed and asset-based arrangements;


•	changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make accurate estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings;


•	our ability to successfully outsource a significant portion of our information technology services or other activities;


•	changes in the existing, or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations where such actions may affect our operations, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates;


•	the effect of tangible and intangible asset impairment charges;


•	our exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historical levels;


•	fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices;


•	our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; and


•	other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.

There is no material change in the information reported under Part II Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 March 31, 2016, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of our 2015 Form 10-K/A, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the three months ended March 31, 2016. In December 2015, we signed an agreement to outsource certain information technology application and infrastructure functions to a third party service provider. The Company began transitioning work to the service provider during the first quarter of 2016. Functional areas impacted by the outsourcing include business application support, service desk, end user computing support, voice and data network support, and data center operations support.

In order 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. During the quarter, the Company has taken actions to remediate the material weakness associated with the risk assessment process. Specifically, management implemented and enhanced internal controls over certain business processes including our period end financial reporting process of our Brazilian subsidiary.

Other than those remediation efforts noted above, there were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Note: Certain instruments with respect to various additional obligations, which could be considered as long-term debt, have not been filed as exhibits to this Report because the total amount of securities authorized under any such instrument does not exceed 10% of our total assets on a consolidated basis. We agree to furnish to the SEC upon request a copy of any such instrument defining the rights of the holders of such long-term debt.
