Cision

"Hertz posted another quarter of solid performance, reflecting overall strength in our business and continued demand for our services across all customer segments," said Stephen Scherr, Hertz chief executive officer. "I am enormously proud of the performance of our team, particularly our colleagues in Southwest Florida, who faced challenges from Hurricane Ian. Across geographies, we focused on operational excellence and fleet optimization to produce financial results that facilitated investment in our strategic priorities, like electrification, while enhancing returns to our shareholders and being in the service of our customers."

ESTERO, Fla., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz", "Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its third quarter 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Total revenues of $2.5 billion

• GAAP net income of $577 million, or $1.33 per diluted share

• Adjusted Net Income of $410 million, or $1.08 per adjusted diluted share (reflects adjustments for fair value remeasurements to outstanding public warrants and certain derivative contracts, among other items)

• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA of $618 million, a 25% margin

• Operating cash flow of $932 million, adjusted operating cash flow of $572 million

• Adjusted free cash flow of $505 million

• Corporate liquidity of $2.6 billion at September 30, including $1.0 billion in unrestricted cash

• Company utilized $500 million to repurchase 27.2 million common shares during the quarter

Revenue was $2.5 billion, up 12% year over year, characterized by continued strength in demand and rate across all customer segments, with significantly increased contribution of value-added services revenue. Monthly revenue per unit was a quarterly record of $1,685 on utilization of 80%. Gross depreciation continued to normalize as the Company progressed its fleet rejuvenation, and car sales gains came in lower versus the previous quarter due to steeper than expected residual value declines. As a result, monthly net depreciation per unit was $187.

During the first two months of the quarter, the Company ran with intentionally elevated maintenance cost to address out of service levels. As a result of these efforts, by September, utilization had reached 81.4%, and maintenance cost receded such that the business experienced more typical operating cost leverage. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $618 million, representing a healthy margin of 25%. Adjusted free cash flow was $505 million, reflecting free cash flow conversion of 82%, which the Company utilized to repurchase 7% of its common stock, thereby increasing shareholder value.

• the impact of macroeconomic conditions resulting in inflationary cost pressures, labor and supply chain constraints, increased vehicle acquisition costs, and reductions in travel demand, among others;

• the Company's ability to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles at a reasonable cost as a result of the continuing global semiconductor microchip manufacturing shortage (the "Chip Shortage") and other raw material supply constraints;

• the impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on supply chains and raw materials for the automotive industry and uncertainty on overall consumer sentiment and travel demand, especially in Europe;

• the impact on the value of the Company's non-program vehicles upon disposition when the Chip Shortage and other raw material supply constraints are alleviated;

• the Company's ability to attract and retain key employees;

• the Company's ability to implement our business strategy, including its ability to implement plans to support a large scale electric vehicle fleet and to play a central role in the modern mobility ecosystem;

• the Company's ability to adequately respond to changes in technology, customer demands and market competition;

• the mix of program and non-program vehicles in the Company's fleet can lead to increased exposure to residual risk;

• the Company's ability to dispose of vehicles in the used-vehicle market and use the proceeds of such sales to acquire replacement vehicles;

• financial instability of the manufacturers of the Company's vehicles, which could impact its ability to fulfill obligations under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs;

• an increase in the Company's vehicle costs or disruption to its rental activity due to safety recalls by the manufacturers of its vehicles;

• the Company's access to third-party distribution channels and related prices, commission structures and transaction volumes;

• the Company's ability to offer an excellent customer experience, and retain and increase customer loyalty and market share;

• the Company's ability to maintain its network of leases and vehicle rental concessions at airports in the U.S. and internationally;

• the Company's ability to maintain favorable brand recognition and a coordinated branding and portfolio strategy;

• major disruption in the Company's communication or centralized information networks or a failure to maintain, upgrade and consolidate its information technology systems;

• risks associated with operating in many different countries, including the risk of a violation or alleged violation of applicable anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws and the Company's ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences;

• the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards;

• risks relating to tax laws and regulations, or changes in such laws and regulations, that affect the Company's ability to deduct certain business interest expenses and offset previously-deferred tax gains, as well as any adverse determinations or rulings by tax authorities;

• changes in laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, including those related to accounting principles, that affect the Company's operations, its costs or applicable tax rates;
