Summary by 6ix AI

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a car rental company, reported revenue of $2,617 million for the third quarter of 2026, up from $2,478 million in the third quarter of 2025. Net income was $116 million, compared with $184 million a year earlier.

Key details

  • Adjusted Corporate EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, with company adjustments) was $233 million, compared with $203 million. Adjusted free cash flow was negative $38 million, compared with positive $248 million, which Hertz tied to fleet-related cash flow combined with sale-leaseback proceeds in the prior year.
  • In the third quarter of 2026, revenue per transaction day (a pricing measure) was $64.06, compared with $60.75, and monthly revenue per vehicle was $1,639, compared with $1,566. Transaction days (days vehicles were on rent) were 41.0 million, compared with 40.9 million.
  • Hertz says Oro Mobility, its rideshare rental fleet business, becomes a standalone growth platform, with approximately $60M of new capital to help fund growth. Hertz retains majority economic ownership and will operate as Oro's fleet and corporate services partner. Hertz projects Oro's full-year 2026 revenue at approximately $600M.
  • Liquidity was $946M as of September 30, 2026, including $531M of unrestricted cash and $415M available under its First Lien revolving credit facility. Total non-vehicle debt was $5,953 million as of September 30, 2026.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURE - ADJUSTED CORPORATE EBITDA

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; non-vehicle depreciation and amortization; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; gain on sale of non-vehicle capital assets; change in fair value of Public Warrants; and certain other miscellaneous items.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to Revenues.

Management uses these measures as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, and analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends.

These measurements enable management and investors to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as its reportable segments. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is also utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciliations to the most comparable consolidated U.S. GAAP measure are presented herein.

(A) Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update to Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and its assessment of our operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - ADJUSTED OPERATING CASH FLOW AND ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW

Adjusted operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities net of the non-cash add back for vehicle depreciation and reserves, and exclusive of bankruptcy related payments made post emergence. Adjusted operating cash flow is important to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash generated from operations when fully burdened by fleet costs.

Adjusted free cash flow represents adjusted operating cash flow plus the impact of net non-vehicle capital expenditures and net fleet growth after financing. Adjusted free cash flow is important to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for, but not limited to, the reduction of non-vehicle debt, share repurchase and acquisition. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted Corporate Operating Cash Flow or Adjusted Free Cash Flow in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

(B) Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Rentable Vehicles to use a daily average of rentable vehicles as opposed to a simple average of rentable vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.

Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")

Transaction Days represents 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. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue-generating days.

Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD" or "RPD"; also referred to as "pricing")

Total RPD represents revenue generated per transaction day, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measure of changes in the underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("RPU")

Revenue Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of revenue generated per vehicle in the rental fleet each month, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased, or asset efficiency.
