Note 1Background

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

On June 30, 2016, former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (for periods on or prior to June 30, 2016, “Old Hertz Holdings” and for periods after June 30, 2016, “Herc Holdings”) completed a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of record of Old Hertz Holdings as of the close of business on June 22, 2016, the record date for the distribution, of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”), which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. in connection with the Spin-Off, on a one-to-five basis. New Hertz, or Hertz Global, is the “accounting successor” to Old Hertz Holdings. As such, the historical financial information of Hertz reflects the equipment rental business as a discontinued operation and the historical financial information of Hertz Global reflects the equipment rental business and certain parent legal entities as discontinued operations. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," for additional information. Unless noted otherwise, information disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements pertain to the continuing operations of Hertz and Hertz Global.

Note 2Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

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

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

The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company's Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 6, 2017.

As disclosed below in "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," the Company adopted the guidance "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" on January 1, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's consolidated financial

statements. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Correction of Errors

The Company identified classification errors within the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 that were previously disclosed in the Company's 2016 Form 10-K. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the classification errors individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the classification errors were not material and revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to correct for the classification errors. Correction of the errors, which did not impact total operating, investing or financing cash flows, decreased both revenue earning vehicles expenditures and proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles by $205 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This revision had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 or its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several areas of employee share-based payment accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows. Most significantly, the new guidance eliminates the need to track tax “windfalls” in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recorded within income tax expense. The Company adopted this guidance in accordance with the effective date on January 1, 2017. The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated balance sheet was a modified retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset with an offsetting entry to the opening accumulated deficit to recognize net operating loss carryforwards, net of a valuation allowance, attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized. Additionally, the Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur.

The impact to the condensed consolidated opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2017 of adopting this guidance was as follows (in millions):

The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows pertaining to excess tax benefits or deficiencies is on a prospective basis. The method of adoption with respect to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows pertaining to employee taxes paid is on a retrospective basis and adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's cash flows.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that addresses the treatment of certain transactions in statements of cash flow, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. These items include debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, proceeds from the settlement of life insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. The Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a retrospective basis, on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure an impairment. Rather, a goodwill impairment charge will be calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a prospective basis, on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 Gold Plus Rewards liability. Upon adoption, each transaction which generates Hertz Gold Plus Rewards points will result in the deferral of revenue; the associated revenue will be recognized at the time when the customer redeems the reward points. Currently the Company records an expense associated with the incremental cost of providing the rental when the reward points are earned. 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 originally 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 deferred 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. In April 2016, the FASB

14


HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited

issued guidance that reduces the complexity of identifying performance obligations and clarifies the implementation guidance on licensing for intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the collectability criterion, the presentation of sales taxes, and noncash consideration, and provides additional implementation practical expedients. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the overall impact 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. Based on current operations, adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or 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 the Company's accounting for leases of the Company's rental locations, as the Company owns approximately 3% of the locations from which it operates its vehicle rental business, 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. For lessors, the guidance modifies classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases and requires a lessor to derecognize the carrying value of the leased asset that is considered to have been transferred to a lessee and record a lease receivable and residual asset. 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. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for both lessees and lessors for existing leases at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Although the Company is still in the process of assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, it expects that adoption of this guidance will result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that sets forth a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for financial assets, which replaces the current incurred loss model. This model requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets), including trade receivables, measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Tax Consequences of Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires the tax consequences of intra-entity asset transfers, other than intra-entity asset transfers of inventory, to be recognized when the transfers occur although the profits on the sales of the assets are eliminated in consolidation. Current guidance requires the tax effects of the transfer be recognized later when the assets are sold to a third party or otherwise disposed of. Under the new guidance, the seller's tax

expense on the profit and the buyer's deferred tax benefit on the increased tax basis are recognized within the consolidated group when the transfers occur. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies existing guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in its cash and cash equivalents balances in the statement of cash flows. Under current guidance, the Company presents these transfers within the cash flows from investing section in its consolidated statements of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a retrospective transition method. The Company estimates that adoption of this guidance would result in the inclusion of restricted cash of $266 million and $341 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Clarifying the Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance requires an evaluation of whether substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction does not qualify as a business. The guidance also requires an acquired business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective transition method. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Clarifying the Scope of Nonfinancial Asset Derecognition and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets

In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the scope of the established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The new guidance may be adopted on either a full or modified retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented. The guidance also requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on described separate lines. In addition, only the service-cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization, which is a change from current practice, under which entities capitalize the aggregate net benefit cost when applicable. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance affecting the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement requires use of the retrospective method of adoption and the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost to the service cost component requires use of the prospective method of adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

CAR Inc. Investment

In March 2016, the Company sold 204 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and extended its commercial agreement with CAR Inc. to 2023, in exchange for $240 million, of which $233 million was allocated to the sale of shares based on the fair value of those shares. The sale of shares resulted in a pre-tax gain of $75 million which has been recognized and recorded in the Company's corporate operations and is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, $7 million of the proceeds were allocated to the extension of the commercial agreement which have been deferred and are being recognized over the remaining term of the commercial agreement. The sale of the shares reduced the Company's ownership interest in CAR Inc. to 1.7% and eliminated the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over CAR Inc. As a result, the Company classifies the investment as an available for sale security which is presented within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.

In February 2017, the Company sold its remaining shares of common stock of CAR Inc. and no longer has an ownership interest in the entity.

Brazil Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company, along with certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") to sell Car Rental Systems do Brasil Locacao de Veiculos Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company located in Brazil ("Brazil Operations"), to Localiza Fleet S.A. (“Localiza”), a corporation headquartered in Brazil. As part of the overall agreement, the Company intends to enter into certain ancillary agreements with Localiza, including co-branding in Brazil and use of the Localiza brand in other select markets, customer referrals and the exchange of technology and information, at the closing date of the Purchase Agreement and upon receiving clearance from the regulatory authority in Brazil. The proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $117 million, which is subject to change in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Approximately $13 million of the proceeds will be placed into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. The Brazil Operations are included in the Company's International Rental Car segment.

The Brazil operations are classified as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the case of the Hertz Vehicle Lease Funding LP ("HFLF") Medium Term Notes, such notes are repayable from cash flows derived from third-party leases comprising the underlying HFLF collateral pool. The initial maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the end of the revolving period for such series, at which time the related notes begin to amortize monthly by an amount equal to the lease collections payable to that series. To the extent the revolving period already has ended, the initial maturity date reflected is April 2017. The second maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the date by which Hertz and the investors in the related series expect such series of notes to be repaid in full, which is based upon various assumptions made at the time of pricing of such notes, including the contractual amortization of the underlying leases as well as the assumed rate of prepayments of such leases.  Such maturity reference is to the “expected final maturity date” as opposed to the subsequent “legal final maturity date”. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable. Although the underlying lease cash flows that support the repayment of the HFLF Medium Term Notes may vary, the cash flows generally are expected to approximate a straight line amortization of the related notes from the initial maturity date through the expected final maturity date.

The Company is highly leveraged and a substantial portion of its liquidity needs arise from debt service on its indebtedness and from the funding of its costs of operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse impact on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions. Approximately $744 million of vehicle debt will mature between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The Company has reviewed the vehicle debt that will mature within this timeframe and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance these maturities. If the Company were not able to refinance these maturities, it has available liquidity sufficient to repay them at the maturity date. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with its financial maintenance covenant under the senior secured revolving credit facility ("Senior RCF"), see "Covenant Compliance" below.

Senior Facilities

In February 2017, certain terms of the credit agreement governing the $700 million senior secured term facility (the "Senior Term Loan") and the Senior RCF (together, the "Senior Facilities") were amended with the consent of the required lenders under the Senior RCF and such credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) amends

22

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

the terms of the financial maintenance covenant for the Senior RCF to test, when applicable, Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio in lieu of Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio, (ii) provides that Hertz shall not make dividends and certain restricted payments until a leverage ratio test is satisfied, (iii) adds a new covenant restricting the incurrence of certain corporate indebtedness, (iv) caps the amount of unrestricted cash that may be netted for purposes of calculating the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio at $500 million unless a specified consolidated total gross corporate leverage ratio is met for a specified period and (v) amends certain financial definitions relating to the foregoing.

Vehicle Debt

HVF II U.S. Vehicle Variable Funding Notes

In February 2017, Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz ("HVF II") entered into various amendment agreements pursuant to which certain terms of the HVF II Series 2013-A Notes and the HVF II Series 2013-B Notes were amended. The amendments, among other things, extended the maturities of $3.2 billion aggregate maximum principal amount available under the HVF II Series 2013-A Notes and the HVF II Series 2013-B Notes from October 2017 to January 2019.

Vehicle Debt-Other

European Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2017, HHN BV amended its credit agreement (the "European Revolving Credit Facility") to extend the maturity of €235 million of the aggregate maximum borrowings available from October 2017 to January 2019.

Canadian Securitizations

In February 2017, TCL Funding Limited Partnership, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz ("Funding LP") amended its securitization platform in Canada (the "Canadian Securitization") to extend the maturity of CAD$350 million aggregate maximum borrowings available from January 2018 to January 2019.

Capitalized Leases-U.K. Leveraged Financing

In February 2017, the capitalized lease financings outstanding in the United Kingdom ("U.K. Leveraged Financing") were amended to extend the maturity of £250 million aggregate maximum borrowings available from October 2017 to January 2019.

See also Note 17, "Subsequent Events," regarding financing transactions occurring subsequent to March 31, 2017.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow-based revolving credit facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. The Company's ability to borrow under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.

The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. With respect to a variable funding

23


HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited

asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time). With respect to the Senior RCF, "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" is the same as "Remaining Capacity" since borrowings under the Senior RCF are not subject to a borrowing base.

The following facilities were available to the Company as of March 31, 2017, and are presented net of any outstanding letters of credit:

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2017, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $773 million. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support the Company's insurance programs, vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds as well as to provide credit enhancement for its asset-backed securitization facilities. Of this amount $761 million was issued under the Senior RCF, which has a $1.0 billion letter of credit sublimit, resulting in $239 million of availability under such sublimit. As of March 31, 2017, none of the letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Special Purpose Entities

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

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 revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, its International Vehicle Financing No. 1 B.V., International Vehicle Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets of $432 million and $454 million, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning vehicles, and total liabilities of $431 million and $454 million, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.

Note 8Stock-Based Compensation

The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation plans is pushed down from Hertz Global and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2017 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan ("2017 EICP"). The provisions of the plan provide for the pay out of any bonus earned in either cash or performance stock units ("PSUs") for certain groups of employees. The decision regarding the form of payout will be made after the bonus has been earned and as such, the grant date of the PSUs is not established until vested. The potential PSU awards will be based on a monetary amount equivalent to a percentage of employees’ salaries that will be based on the achievement of specific performance metrics in 2017. The specific monetary amount will be calculated at the time of grant. The PSUs are intended to be granted in place of cash bonus awards and, therefore, qualify as equity awards. Compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period. The Company calculates the anticipated number of awards to be granted based on the bonus dollars expected to be earned divided by the stock price as of the reporting date. The anticipated awards are used to estimate the compensation expense as of the reporting date. Compensation charges will accumulate as a liability until the grant date, at which time the liability will be reclassified to equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $2 million of stock-based compensation expense associated

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited

with the 2017 EICP. The Company expects approximately 350,000 shares will be granted in connection with this program based on the Company’s stock price as of March 31, 2017.

Under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (the "2016 Omnibus Plan"), during the three months ended March 31, 2017, Hertz Global granted 557,882 non-qualified stock options to certain executives and employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.44 as determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model; 458,709 restricted stock units ("RSUs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.18; 412,618 PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.19 and 664,643 performance stock awards ("PSAs") at a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.19, with vesting terms of three to five years. None of the PSUs associated with the 2017 EICP plan are included in the grant amounts above. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $5 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the 2016 Omnibus Plan.

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

As of March 31, 2017, there was $30 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs, PSUs and PSAs granted by Hertz Global under all plans. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 2.0 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Note 9Restructuring

The Company continuously evaluates its workforce, product offerings and operations to determine when headcount reductions, business process re-engineering, asset impairments or outsourcing arrangements are necessary. There were no significant restructuring programs initiated during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Hertz Global and Hertz

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 24% and 32%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2017 is expected to be approximately 27%.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $71 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change was the result of composition of earnings by jurisdiction and lower pre-tax income, offset by discrete items in the quarter.

Note 11Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

Cash Equivalents and Investments

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

Investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of available for sale securities. The valuation of these securities is based on Level 1 inputs whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

Assets and liabilities held for sale are associated with the Company's Brazil Operations as further described in Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures."

Investments in Related Parties

Investments in related parties are accounted for under the equity method and are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment charge whenever there is a decline in value that is determined to be other than temporary.

In April 2016, the Company paid approximately $45 million for an equity method investment. In March 2017, the Company determined it had an other than temporary loss in value of its investment and recorded an impairment charge of $30 million which is included in other (income) expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Note 12Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Legal Proceedings

Public Liability and Property Damage

The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $405 million and $407 million, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that the Company may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Other Matters

From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings. 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, 2017 or the period after March 31, 2017, 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 vehicles from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges during the class period. In October 2014, the court entered final judgment against the Company and directed Hertz to pay the class approximately $42 million in restitution and $11 million in prejudgment interest, and to pay attorney's fees of $3 million with an additional $3 million to be paid to class counsel from the restitution fund. In November 2014, Hertz timely filed an appeal of that final judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the plaintiffs cross appealed the court's judgment seeking to challenge the lower court's ruling that Hertz did not deceive or mislead the class members. Following briefing and oral argument, on January 5, 2017, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the District Court’s holdings on liability and remedy and vacating the judgment. The Ninth Circuit also rejected plaintiffs’ cross-appeal, finding that Hertz’s actions were not deceptive or misleading. On January 19, 2017, plaintiffs asked the entire Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, to rehear the appeal. That petition was rejected on February 15, 2017. Plaintiffs have an opportunity to petition the United States Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's decision in favor of the Company. 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 Old Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees.

In June 2014, Old Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it was not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, this case was assigned to a new federal judge in the District of New Jersey, and Old Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations, named additional current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period such that it was alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. On November 4, 2015, Old Hertz Holdings filed its motion to dismiss. Thereafter, a motion was made by plaintiff to add a new plaintiff, because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiffs leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016, and plaintiff filed its opposition to same on May 6, 2016. On June 13, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants filed their reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss. The matter is now fully briefed. On April 28, 2017, the court issued an order wherein Old Hertz Holdings' and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss were granted and the plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint to add a new plaintiff was dismissed with prejudice (the “Order”). Plaintiffs have an opportunity to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit within 30 days of the Order.

Ryanair - In July 2015, Ryanair Ltd. ("Ryanair") filed a complaint against Hertz Europe Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice of the United Kingdom alleging breach of contract in connection with Hertz Europe Limited’s termination of its vehicle hire agreement with Ryanair following a contractual dispute with respect to Ryanair’s agreement to begin using third party ticket distributors. The complaint seeks damages, interest and costs, together with attorney fees. The Company believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information and starting in June 2016 the Company has had communications with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. The investigations and communications generally involve the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 (the “Old Hertz Holdings 2014 10-K”) and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with all requests related to the foregoing. Due to the stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material. Among other matters, the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings 2014 Form 10-K addressed a variety of accounting matters involving the Company’s Brazil vehicle rental operations.

Additionally, the Company has identified certain activities in Brazil that raise issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and may raise issues under other federal and local laws, which the Company has self-reported

to appropriate government entities and the processes with these government entities continue. The Company is continuing to investigate these issues. The Company has established a reserve relating to the activities in Brazil which is not material. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome with respect to the activities in Brazil and the other issues discussed herein could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

French Antitrust - In February 2015, the French Competition Authority issued a Statement of Objections claiming that several vehicle rental companies, including the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, violated French competition law by receiving historic market information from twelve French airports relating to the vehicle rental companies operating at those airports and by engaging in a concerted practice relating to train station surcharges. In February 2017, the French Competition Authority issued a decision dismissing all such claims against the Company and its subsidiaries.

French Road Tax - The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several vehicle rental companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions where it is established and where the road tax payable with respect to those vehicles is lower than the road tax payable in the jurisdictions where the vehicles will primarily be used. In respect of a period in 2005, the Company has unsuccessfully appealed the French Tax assessment to the highest Administrative court in France. In respect of a period from 2003 to 2005, following an adverse judgment, the Company appealed the French Tax Authority’s assessment to the Civil Court of Appeal. On March 2, 2017, the Company received an adverse judgment in the road tax appeal from the Civil Court of Appeal in the 2003 to 2005 years. In the third quarter of 2015, following an adverse decision against another industry participant involved in a similar action, the Company recorded charges with respect to this matter of approximately $23 million. In January 2016, the Company made a payment of approximately $9 million.

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

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party

claim. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.

Note 13Related Party Transactions

Agreements with the Icahn Group

In the normal course of business, the Company purchases goods and services from entities controlled by Carl C. Icahn and his affiliates, including The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company purchased approximately $2 million worth of goods and services from these related parties.

Transactions between Hertz Holdings and Hertz

On June 30, 2016, Hertz signed a master loan agreement with Hertz Global for a facility size of $425 million with an expiration in June 2017 (the "Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was $104 million and $102 million outstanding under the Master Loan, respectively, representing advances under the Master Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Hertz has a due to affiliate in the amount of $65 million and $65 million, respectively, which represents its tax related liability to Hertz Holdings.

The above amounts are included in equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Hertz.

Note 14Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

As described in Note 1, "Background", on June 30, 2016, the distribution date, Old Hertz Holdings stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2016 received one share of Hertz Holdings common stock for every five shares of Old Hertz Holdings common stock held as of the record date. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is calculated using the weighted average number of basic, dilutive and anti-dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for the one-to-five distribution ratio.

As described in Note 8, "Stock-Based Compensation", the Company adopted the 2017 EICP on January 1, 2017. PSU awards issued under the 2017 EICP will be included in the denominator of diluted earnings (loss) per share when the required minimum threshold to receive the awards is met. There are no PSU awards issued under the 2017 EICP included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 15Segment Information

The Company has identified three 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. Rental Car ("U.S. RAC") - rental of vehicles (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 Rental Car ("International RAC") - rental and leasing of vehicles (cars, vans, 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;

All Other Operations - primarily consists of the Company's Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, together with other business activities which represent less than 2% of revenues and expenses of the segment.

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 non-vehicle debt).

Note 16Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information - Hertz

The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of (a) The Hertz Corporation, ("Parent”); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Eliminations"); and of (e) Hertz on a consolidated basis.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors. In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Hertz has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Management of Hertz does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to Hertz's investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

As described in Note 1, "Background", Old Hertz Holdings completed the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016. In connection with the Spin-Off, certain amounts that were historically recorded on the balance sheet of the Parent were distributed with the discontinued entities. These amounts primarily related to defined benefit pension plans, workers’ compensation liabilities, and income taxes. These amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidating statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to reflect the balances transferred in the Guarantor Subsidiaries' and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries' financial statements based on which discontinued entity received the distribution in the Spin-Off.

During the preparation of the condensed consolidating financial information of The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, it was determined that prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred income taxes, net, due from affiliates and due to affiliates, and the related eliminations at December 31, 2016 as filed in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K were improperly calculated, resulting in a $915 million overstatement of prepaid expenses and other assets and due to affiliates of the Parent and an overstatement of due from affiliates and deferred income taxes, net of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The errors, which the Company has determined are not material to this disclosure, had no impact on the net assets of the Parent or the Guarantor Subsidiaries and are eliminated upon consolidation, and therefore have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has revised the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets for the Parent, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations as of December 31, 2016 to correct for these errors.

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

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Hertz Global" or the "Company") is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Hertz"). As Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global, unless otherwise noted. Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global's assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global's revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects and differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we", "our," "us," and the "Company" in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.

Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2016 Form 10‑K and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 (this "Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

In this MD&A we refer to certain key metrics and Non-GAAP measures, including the following:
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income - important to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally.
Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD", also referred to as "pricing") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.
Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("average vehicles" or "fleet capacity").
Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and vehicle utilization. Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period.
Vehicle Utilization - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher vehicle utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenue.
Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

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

OUR COMPANY

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.

We operate our vehicle rental business globally through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 9,700 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, The Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use vehicle rental companies and our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We have an extensive network of rental locations in the United States ("U.S.") and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain one of the leading airport vehicle rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at major airports in Europe where data regarding vehicle rental concessionaire activity is available. We are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. In addition to vehicle rental, we provide comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to adjust fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs, over time to meet expectations of market demand. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.

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

Vehicle rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with ancillary products associated with vehicle rentals, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage, parking and other products and fees, ancillary products associated with the retail vehicle sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees, including initial franchise fees, are less than 2% of total revenues each period);

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


45


HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

Our expenses primarily consist of:

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

Depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such vehicles);

Selling, general and administrative expenses; and

Interest expense, net.

Our Business Segments

We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
U.S. Rental Car ("U.S. RAC") - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, in the U.S.;
International Rental Car ("International RAC") - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, internationally; and
All Other Operations - Comprised of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities.
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have Corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.

Fleet

We periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on economic demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. We dispose of our non-program vehicles via auction, dealer-direct and our retail locations. Non-program vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing and title fees. We adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.

Seasonality

Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer peak ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, vehicles and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including utilization initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Generally, between 70% and 75% of our annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining costs are fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

2017 Operating Overview

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

Total revenues for U.S. RAC for the first quarter of 2017 decreased by 4% compared to 2016 driven by a 3% decline in Total RPD and a 1% decrease in transaction days;

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for U.S. RAC increased 19% to $499 million from $419 million for the first quarter of 2017 versus 2016. Net depreciation per unit per month in U.S. RAC increased 15% to $348 from $303 for the first quarter of 2017 versus 2016. The increases are the result of declining residual values on non-program vehicles;

Total revenues for International RAC decreased 5% for the first quarter of 2017 versus 2016. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, total revenues for International RAC decreased $16 million, or 4% for the first quarter 2017 versus 2016, driven by a 4% decrease in Total RPD partially offset by a 1% increase in transaction days;

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for International RAC decreased 1% to $85 million from $86 million for the first quarter of 2017 versus 2016, and excluding a $2 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, increased $1 million due to an increase in average vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month for International RAC was comparable year over year;

Recorded $19 million in expenses associated with our finance and information technology transformation programs, both of which are multi-year initiatives to upgrade and modernize the Company's systems and processes, during the first quarter 2017 compared to $8 million during the first quarter of 2016;

Recorded a $30 million impairment of an equity method investment during the first quarter 2017 with no impairment charges during the first quarter of 2016; and

During the first quarter 2017, we sold approximately 9 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for net proceeds of approximately $9 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $3 million. During the first quarter 2016, we sold 204 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc. for net proceeds of approximately $233 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $75 million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Total revenues decreased $67 million, or 3%, due primarily to decreases in our U.S. RAC and International RAC revenues of $53 million and $22 million, respectively, partially offset by an $8 million increase in our All Other Operations segment revenues. Total RPD in our U.S. RAC segment declined 3% driven predominantly by lower rental rates and a change in customer mix from higher yielding corporate contracted and retail rentals to lower yielding domestic tour and opaque rentals. Additionally, there was a decline in revenues for certain ancillary products. Volume for U.S. RAC decreased 1%. Volume for our airport business decreased 2% and was flat for our off airport business versus 2016. Excluding a $6 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, International RAC revenues decreased $16 million, or 4%, driven by a 4% decrease in Total RPD partially offset by a 1% increase in transaction days for the segment. Rate and volume in both the U.S. and International RAC segments were negatively impacted by the Easter holiday falling in the second quarter of 2017 versus the first quarter of 2016.

The decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses of $26 million, or 2%, was primarily due to a decrease in our International RAC and U.S. RAC segments of $12 million and $9 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the $6 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, direct vehicle and operating expenses for International RAC decreased $6 million, or 2%, due to a $5 million decrease in commissions, technology and facility charges and a $4 million decrease in vehicle damage expense, partially offset by a $4 million increase in public liability and property damage ("PLPD") expense. The decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses for our U.S. RAC segment is comprised of a $7 million decrease in vehicle related expenses and a $4 million decrease in personnel related expenses, partially offset by an increase in other direct vehicle operating expenses of $2 million.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased $85 million, or 14%, primarily due to an $80 million increase in our U.S. RAC segment due to declining residual values on non-program vehicles.

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

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $5 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a decrease of approximately $24 million in incentive compensation, advertising, restructuring related and other expenses, partially offset by an $11 million increase in information technology transformation program costs and $8 million in litigation settlements related to various cases recorded during the quarter. The above changes primarily related to our U.S. RAC segment and Corporate. As discussed above, we incurred higher information technology transformation program costs in the first quarter of 2017 versus the first quarter 2016, and we expect to see continued increases in SG&A expenses for information technology investments for the remainder of 2017 and in 2018.

Vehicle interest expense, net increased $2 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher market interest rates and higher rates associated with increasing the mix of medium term funding, offset by a reduction in amortization of deferred financing costs for terminated vehicle debt.

Non-vehicle interest expense decreased $23 million, or 28%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the termination of the $2.1 billion of Senior Credit Facilities in June 2016 and the 2016 refinancings of certain Senior Notes with the lower rate Senior Term Loan and 5.50% Senior Notes due 2024.

We had other expense of $27 million as compared to other income of $90 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Other expense for the first quarter of 2017 was primarily comprised of a $30 million impairment of an equity method investment. Other income for the first quarter of 2016 was primarily comprised of a $75 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc. and a $9 million settlement gain from an eminent domain case at one of our airport locations.

The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2017 was 24% compared to 32% in the first quarter of 2016. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2017 is expected to be approximately 27%. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $71 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $24 million in the first quarter of 2016. The $47 million increase in the income tax benefit is due to composition of earnings by jurisdiction and lower pre-tax income, offset by discrete items in the quarter.

The results for discontinued operations are associated with the activities of the Old Hertz Holdings equipment rental business which was spun-off on June 30, 2016.

Adjusted pre-tax loss was $212 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $106 million in the first quarter of 2016. 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.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - HERTZ GLOBAL

The above discussion for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global.

Hertz Global has net losses from discontinued operations of $2 million for the first quarter of 2016 that are incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz. These amounts represent the net losses of the parent legal entities of Old Hertz Holdings which are deemed discontinued operations of Hertz Global but not Hertz.

In the first quarter of 2017, interest expense, net for Hertz Global is $1 million greater than for Hertz. This amount represents interest associated with amounts outstanding under the master loan agreement between the companies. Hertz includes this amount as interest income in its statement of operations but this amount is eliminated in consolidation for purposes of Hertz Global.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Total U.S. RAC revenues were $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $53 million, or 4%, from the first quarter of 2016. Total RPD decreased 3% driven predominantly by lower rental rates and a change in customer mix from higher yielding corporate contracted and retail rentals to lower yielding domestic tour and opaque rentals. Additionally, there was a decrease in ancillary revenue from insurance and related products and vehicle upgrades. Transaction days decreased 1% due in part to there being one less day in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Rate and volume were also negatively impacted by the Easter holiday falling in the second quarter of 2017 versus the first quarter of 2016. Volume for U.S. RAC decreased 2% for our airport business and was flat for our off airport business versus the first quarter of 2016. Off airport revenues comprised 28% of total revenues for the segment in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 26% for the first quarter of 2016.

Direct vehicle and operating expenses for U.S. RAC decreased $9 million, or 1%, primarily due to the following:

Vehicle related expenses decreased $7 million year over year primarily due to:

Decreased collision and short term maintenance expense of $7 million resulting from improved customer mix and improved customer collections on damage claims resulting from process improvements and a decrease in the costs to prepare program vehicles for turn-back due to a reduction in the number of program vehicles returned to the manufacturer year over year.

Personnel related expenses decreased $4 million compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a decrease in variable incentive compensation.

Other direct vehicle and operating expenses increased $2 million year over year primarily due to increased fuel costs of $4 million due to higher market fuel pricing.

Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Depreciation rates being used to

compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning vehicles are adjusted on certain vehicles in our vehicle rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning vehicles are sold. Based on the reviews completed during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, depreciation rate changes in our U.S. RAC operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $26 million and $27 million, respectively. The rate changes reflect declining residual values on non-program vehicles.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for U.S. RAC increased by $80 million, or 19%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Net depreciation per unit per month increased to $348 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $303 in the first quarter of 2016. The increase year over year is primarily the result of declining residual values on non-program vehicles.

Loss before income taxes for U.S. RAC increased $110 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 due primarily to the impact of lower revenues and increased depreciation expense on our revenue earning vehicles. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2016 we had other income of $9 million related to an eminent domain case at one of our airport locations. The above were partially offset by a decrease of $14 million in interest expense, net and a $9 million decrease in SG&A for the segment, resulting from $17 million of decreases in incentive compensation, advertising expenses, restructuring related expenses, information technology transformation program costs and other general expenses, partially offset by $8 million in litigation settlements related to various cases recorded during the quarter.

Adjusted pre-tax loss for U.S. RAC was $116 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Total revenues for International RAC decreased $22 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding a $6 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, revenues decreased $16 million or 4%, driven by a 4% decrease in Total RPD, partially offset by a 1% increase in transaction days for the segment despite there being one less day in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. The decline in Total RPD is

primarily due to the impact in Europe of the Easter holiday falling in the second quarter of 2017 versus the first quarter of 2016 and the termination of certain contracts in the third quarter of 2016.

Direct vehicle and operating expenses for International RAC decreased $12 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the $6 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased $6 million, or 2%, versus the prior year due to a decrease of $4 million in vehicle damage expense and a $5 million decrease in commissions, technology and facility charges in the first quarter of 2017. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in PLPD expense of $4 million primarily due to adverse case development in France and Germany in the first quarter of 2017.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for International RAC decreased $1 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the $2 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased $1 million or 1% primarily due to an increase in average vehicles in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Net depreciation per unit per month was comparable year over year.

There was a loss before income taxes for International RAC of $5 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1 million in the first quarter of 2016. The $4 million decrease year-over-year is primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Adjusted pre-tax loss for International RAC was $4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to adjusted pre-tax income of $3 million in the first quarter of 2016. 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.

Total revenues for All Other Operations increased $8 million, or 6%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily driven by an increase in Donlen's leasing and services volume due to new business origination and existing customer growth. Higher revenues were partially offset by increases in vehicle depreciation due to the growth of leased fleet, resulting in a 20% increase in income before income taxes. 

Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables

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

Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period. 

(c)
Average vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, average vehicles is used to calculate our vehicle utilization which represents the portion of our vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue. Vehicle utilization is calculated by dividing total transaction days by available car days. The calculation of vehicle utilization is shown in the table below.

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

Total RPU is a key metric that is calculated as total revenues less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue divided by the average vehicles in each period and then divide by the number of months in the period reported, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to our management as it represents a measurement of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity. The following tables reconcile our rental car segments' total rental revenues to our total revenue per unit per month (based on December 31, 2016 foreign currency exchange rates) for the periods shown:

Net depreciation per unit per month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges, net per vehicle per month.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.

As of March 31, 2017, we had $785 million of cash and cash equivalents and $266 million of restricted cash. Of these amounts as of March 31, 2017, $119 million of cash and cash equivalents and $80 million of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S., 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. Except for cash and cash equivalents in Brazil, due to the pending sale of our operations in that foreign jurisdiction, we consider cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico to be permanently reinvested.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we generated $38 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to a $95 million increase in the change in working capital period over period mainly due to a $78 million change in non-vehicle receivables at March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016. The increase was partially offset by a $57 million reduction in net income excluding non-cash items.

Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning vehicles. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $502 million more cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to an increase in net revenue earning vehicle expenditures of $279 million due to $802 million lower proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles, partially offset by $523 million lower expenditures for revenue earning vehicles. Also, there was a $224 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of CAR Inc. common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, cash provided by financing activities increased by $67 million compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to a $201 million increase in net borrowings. There was cash received from our discontinued entities of $130 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with no amounts received during the three months ended March 31, 2017 which partially offsets the increase above.

Cash Flows - Hertz Global

As of March 31, 2017, Hertz Global had cash and cash equivalents of $785 million, a decrease of $31 million from $816 million as of December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:

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

Financing

Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of vehicle and non-vehicle debt, the payment of operating expenses and capital projects and purchases of revenue earning vehicles to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of revenue earning vehicles, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets. Substantially all of our revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

We are highly leveraged, and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient total liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse effect on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions.

Financing transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 did not significantly change our overall liquidity. See Part I, Item 1, Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report ("Note 6") for information.

Cash paid for interest during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $67 million for interest on vehicle debt and $30 million for interest on non-vehicle debt. Corporate liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the primary non-vehicle liquidity line of $785 million and $939 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017 and $816 million and $1.13 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2016) declined slightly to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2017 from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2016.

Approximately $790 million of vehicle debt and $257 million of non-vehicle debt will mature during the twelve months following the issuance of this Report and the Company will need to refinance a portion of the debt. The Company has reviewed the maturing debt obligations and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to repay or refinance such obligations before the expiration of such facilities.

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

Covenants

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

Certain of the Company's other debt instruments and credit facilities (including the Senior Facilities) contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, share repurchases or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.

The Senior RCF contains a financial maintenance covenant that is only applicable to the Senior RCF. Such covenant provides that Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (the "Covenant Leverage Ratio"), may not exceed the ratios indicated below:
Fiscal Quarter(s) Ending

At March 31, 2017, Hertz was in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio with a ratio of 2.41 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Senior RCF Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement, is a component of the calculation of the Covenant Leverage Ratio and is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not a measure of operating results, but instead is a measure used to determine compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio under the Senior RCF Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement as consolidated net income plus the sum of income taxes, non-vehicle interest expense, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization expense, and non-cash charges or losses, as further adjusted for certain other items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Senior RCF, including add backs for non-recurring, unusual or extraordinary charges, business optimization expenses or other restructuring charges or reserves.

Based on available liquidity from our expected operating results, the Senior RCF and other financing arrangements, Hertz expects to continue to be in compliance for at least the next twelve months.

Rental Fleet Securitization Rating Methodology

In July 2016, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) published a request for comment regarding proposed changes to its methodology for rating rental fleet securitizations, and in December 2016, Moody's published updated methodology for rating rental fleet securitizations.  In connection therewith, Moody's placed several senior tranches of our outstanding series of HVF II U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes and/or HVF U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes on review for downgrade as a result of Moody’s application of its new methodology to such outstanding series of notes. In February 2017, the Company took actions to maintain the ratings at their current levels and as a result of such actions Moody’s removed these tranches from review for downgrade and confirmed the ratings of such tranches at their current levels. The actions taken include the Company making changes to the underlying documentation governing such series of notes as well as providing incremental enhancement with respect to one such series. The aforementioned rating actions relate solely to certain of our securitization debt and not our corporate ratings or ratings on any of our non-vehicle debt.

As further described in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we revised our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to decrease revenue earning vehicles expenditures and decrease proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles by $205 million in the All Other Operations segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This revision had no impact on net capital expenditures for revenue earning vehicles for the segment.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Part I, Item 1, Note 6, "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 2016 Form 10‑K.

As of March 31, 2017, 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 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10‑K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with indemnification obligations and will accrue for expected losses when they are probable and estimable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management

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

to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2016 Form 10-K. On January 1, 2017, we prospectively adopted guidance that eliminates the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure an impairment. Rather, a goodwill impairment charge will be calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Under the guidance, we still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.

On January 1, 2017 we also adopted guidance that simplifies several areas of employee share-based payment accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows. Most significantly, the new guidance eliminates the need to track tax “windfalls” in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recorded within income tax expense. For details regarding the method of adoption, refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2017 EICP which provides for PSUs where the service inception date precedes the grant date. The fair value is based on the anticipated number of shares awarded and the quoted price of the Company’s shares at each reporting date up to the grant date. Compensation charges accumulate as a liability until the grant date, at which time the liability will be reclassified to equity. Additionally, under the 2016 Omnibus Plan, we issued PSAs with graded vesting where the compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award. For details regarding the 2017 EICP and PSAs described above, refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 8 "Stock-Based Compensation," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2016 Form 10-K.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q under the caption Item 1, "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report and in reports we subsequently file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("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

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 2016 Form 10‑K.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

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, 2017, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of our 2016 Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)


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, 2017. In October 2016, we transitioned Hertz Claim Management (“HCM”) U.S. third party claims processing to a third service party provider. The Company will continue managing claims opened prior to October 1, 2016 and is projected to complete the transition by the fourth quarter of 2017.

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.

Other than those items noted above, there were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
