Open the filing on EDGARHERTZ ANNOUNCES Q3 2026 RESULTS, STRONGEST QUARTERLY REVENUE AND EBITDA PERFORMANCE IN THREE YEARS
“We delivered our strongest quarterly revenue and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA performance in three years, driven by continued revenue growth and margin expansion on flat capacity,” said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. “The underlying progress in our core U.S. rental business is meaningful, and we see significant opportunity ahead as we continue to improve execution, expand our franchise model and build new sources of earnings and value across the Hertz platform.”
ESTERO, Fla, November 5, 2026 - Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz," "Hertz Global," or the "Company") today reported results for its third quarter 2026.
Q3 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue totaled $2.6 billion in the third quarter, up approximately 6% year over year and the Company's best quarterly revenue performance in three years.
- Year-over-year Revenue per Unit (RPU) and Revenue per Day (RPD), each increased approximately 5%, marking the third consecutive quarter of sequential improvement. Strong pricing in the Company's U.S. core business, where RPD increased approximately 8%, was achieved despite lower TSA volumes. U.S. strength was partially offset by softness in International.
- GAAP net income for the quarter totaled $116 million, down from $184 million the year before, and Diluted GAAP EPS was $0.20. Adjusted net income was $67 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.14.
- Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $233 million, representing a 15% year-over-year improvement and the Company's best quarter of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in three years.
- Net Depreciation per Unit per Month (Net DPU) was $285 in the third quarter, consistent with the Company's expectations. At an average age of nine months, Hertz’s U.S. core fleet is the youngest it has been in 12 years.
- Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Day increased 6% year over year and Adjusted DOE per Day increased approximately 5% year over year, including approximately 240 basis points of revenue-related expenses associated with higher RPD. The remaining increase primarily reflected higher collision and maintenance expense.
- The spread between RPD and Adjusted DOE per Day improved by approximately 5% on a year-over-year basis, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year spread improvement.
- Hertz ended the third quarter with approximately $946 million of liquidity.
- Hertz recently announced that Oro Mobility (Oro) secured an $80 million strategic equity investment from a consortium of investors, giving Oro the dedicated capital, talent, flexibility and strategic focus to scale as a standalone growth platform across the evolving mobility ecosystem. Oro drivers have completed more than ten million miles to date and its first AV partnership is now underway in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Q3 SUMMARY
Hertz’s third quarter results reflected continued progress in its transformation, led by strong commercial performance and disciplined fleet management. The Company delivered $2.6 billion in revenue, $67 million in adjusted net income, and $233 million in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA. The revenue and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA results were the Company’s strongest quarterly results in three years.
Commercial momentum remained strong in the quarter, with RPU increasing approximately 5% to $1,639 and RPD increasing approximately 5% year over year. This marked the third consecutive quarter of sequential improvement in both metrics despite a softer revenue environment in our International segment. The Company continues to execute its commercial playbook, with stronger demand generation, more sophisticated pricing and disciplined fleet management at the local level driving performance. These efforts drove an approximately 8% year over year RPD increase in the U.S. core business.
Adjusted DOE per Day increased approximately 5% year over year. Approximately 240 basis points of that increase was due to with revenue related expenses associated with higher RPD. Beyond those revenue driven costs, DOE was pressured by elevated collision and maintenance costs, and broader inflationary pressures. The Company is taking actions to reduce repair costs, improve labor productivity and vehicle utilization, as well as strengthen damage recovery and collections.
The spread between RPD and Adjusted DOE per Day improved by $1.36 globally, or approximately 5%, year over year, with improvement of more than $2.50 in the U.S. Hertz is increasingly focused on this spread as an important indicator of its ability to convert stronger revenue performance into improved operating economics.
Fleet economics remained stable, with Net DPU of $285 per month, consistent with the Company’s expectations. Today, Hertz operates one of its youngest U.S. core fleets in a dozen years and remains disciplined on model-year 2027 purchases to support current DPU levels while enhancing customer choice.
The Company ended the quarter with approximately $946 million of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and available capacity under its revolving credit facility.
PLATFORM FOR GROWTH
Hertz's transformation remains focused on strengthening its core rental business while creating additional sources of earnings and value from capabilities the Company has built over decades across Rental, Service, Fleet, and Mobility. In September, Hertz aligned its organizational structure to its platform, with dedicated leaders accountable for each area's performance.
In Rental, the Company is pursuing strategic franchise opportunities across multiple geographies, supporting a more locally operated and capital-efficient business model. It recently signed an agreement with its existing Baltic franchise partner to transition its operations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to a franchise model.
In Service, the Company is leveraging its core capabilities to create new revenue streams and growth opportunities. Hertz has extended its vehicle transportation capabilities to third-party customers, including dealerships, fleet management companies and retail customers, with approximately 50,000 vehicle moves expected this year.
In Fleet, Hertz continues to advance its Hertz Car Sales retail strategy to prioritize higher-yielding digital channels and build on the scale of its rental business. The Company recently launched Test Drive+, an enhanced iteration of its high-conversion Rent2Buy program, at neighborhood rental locations. The Company is also expanding the use of AI in lead management, customer communications and reporting to improve efficiency and conversion, while deepening relationships with a select group of the nation’s largest used-vehicle retailers.
In Mobility, Hertz recently announced that Oro secured an $80 million strategic equity investment from new and existing investors, establishing it as a standalone growth platform. Hertz retains majority economic ownership of Oro and continues to support the business as its fleet and corporate services partner, enabling Hertz to participate in Oro’s growth. Oro continues to scale, with more than 10 million miles logged across its driver-led managed fleet business to date and its first AV partnership is now underway in the San Francisco Bay Area.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL DATA, SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS
In this earnings release, we include select unaudited financial data of Hertz Global, Supplemental Schedules, which are provided to present segment results, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. Following the Supplemental Schedules, the Company provides definitions for terminology used throughout the earnings release and the Company’s rationale regarding the importance and usefulness of non-GAAP measures for investors and management.
Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update was made in an effort to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Also effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its definition of Average Rentable Vehicles and Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period, which the Company believes is a better, more accurate measure of its vehicles. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
We have not reconciled Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the quarter-ended December 31, 2026, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026, or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027 to GAAP net income or loss as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as the change in fair value of Public Warrants, as this adjustment is directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price and the volume of warrants exercised during the period. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
The term “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company's segment measure of profitability and complies with GAAP when used in that context.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation of, superior to, or as a substitute for measures of the Company's financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS")
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; vehicle and non-vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; acquisition accounting-related depreciation and amortization; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants; (gain) on sale of non-vehicle capital assets and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items on a pre-tax basis. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better align with the management's view of the Company's ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes a provision (benefit) for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate. The combined statutory rate is management's estimate of the Company's long-term tax rate. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).
Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Its most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are important operating metrics because they allow management and investors to assess operational performance of the Company's business, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company's competitors.
Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin
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; change in fair value of Public Warrants; (gain) on sale of non-vehicle capital assets and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its 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 was made in an effort to better align with management's view of the Company's ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total 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 measures enable management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics most meaningful to the business of renting and leasing vehicles. They also allow 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. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.
Adjusted Direct Operating Expense per Transaction Day (“Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day”)
Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is calculated as Direct Operating Expenses - as reported, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and adjustments for certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items, divided by the number of Transaction Days during the period. Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s cost efficiency on a per unit basis excluding the impact of variable direct operating expense fluctuations attributable to changes in volume, so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. Its most comparable GAAP measure is DOE per Transaction Day.
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 an important performance measure 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 an important performance measure 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.
The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
Net Fleet Growth After Financing
U.S. and International Rental Car segments Fleet Growth is defined as revenue earning vehicles expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus vehicle depreciation and net vehicle financing, which includes borrowings, repayments and the change in restricted cash associated with vehicles. Fleet Growth is important as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.
Net Non-vehicle Debt
Net Non-vehicle Debt is calculated as non-vehicle debt as reported on the Hertz Global's balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with non-vehicle debt (including the Share Lending Agreement), less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company's First Lien RCF, term loans, First Lien Senior Notes, Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, Exchangeable Notes Due 2029, Exchangeable Notes Due 2030, senior unsecured notes and certain other non-vehicle indebtedness of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net Non-vehicle Debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company's corporate leverage. Net Non-vehicle Debt also assists in the evaluation of the Company's ability to service its non-vehicle debt without reference to the expense associated with the vehicle debt, which is collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-vehicle debt facilities.
Net Vehicle Debt
Net Vehicle Debt is calculated as vehicle debt as reported on the Company's balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs associated with vehicle debt, less restricted cash associated with vehicles. Restricted cash associated with vehicle debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Company's vehicle debt facilities. Net Vehicle Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company's leverage with respect to its vehicle assets.
Total Net Debt
Total Net Debt is calculated as total debt as reported on the Hertz Global's balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs (including the Share Lending Agreement), less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs are required to be reported as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt obligation under GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects that these costs have on debt will more accurately reflect the Company's net debt position. Total Net Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company's gross leverage.
Net Corporate Leverage
Net Corporate Leverage is calculated as non-vehicle net debt divided by Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Corporate Leverage is important to management and investors as it measures the Company's corporate leverage net of unrestricted cash. Net Corporate Leverage also assists in the evaluation of the Company's ability to service its non-vehicle debt with reference to the generation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.
KEY METRICS
Available Car Days
Available Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period.
Average Vehicles ("Total Fleet Capacity" or "Total Capacity")
Average Vehicles is determined using a daily average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of our vehicles. The prior periods have been recast to reflect this change.
Average Rentable Vehicles ("Rentable Fleet Capacity")
Average Rentable Vehicles reflects Average Vehicles excluding vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its 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 Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of its rentable vehicles. The prior periods have been recast to reflect this change.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month ("Depreciation Per Unit" or "DPU")
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month, exclusive of the impacts 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 reflects how effectively the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
Total Available Car Days
Total Available Car Days represents Average Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period.
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.
Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU", "RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")
Total RPU 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.
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 Vehicle Utilization ("Total Utilization")
Total Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Total Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to Total Fleet Capacity.
Operational Vehicle Utilization ("Utilization")
Operational Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to Rentable Fleet Capacity.
