Hertz Global Holdings Reports Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2020 Results
ESTERO, Fla., Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (OTCPK: HTZGQ) ("Hertz Global" or the "Company") today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. For the fourth quarter, the Company's revenue was $1.2 billion, net loss attributable to the Company was $289 million and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA loss was $140 million. For the year, the Company's revenue was $5.3 billion, net loss attributable to the Company was $1.7 billion and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA loss was $995 million. Liquidity at the end of 2020 was $1.1 billion.
"We are making significant headway on our U.S. Chapter 11 process," said Paul Stone, Hertz Global's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are on track to close on the sale of our Donlen vehicle leasing and fleet management business in March 2021 and are making progress on our plan of reorganization with the goal to emerge from Chapter 11 by mid to late summer."
December 2020 global revenue was nearly double that from April 2020 and since that time the Company achieved monthly, sequential year-over-year global rental volume improvement. The Company delivered annualized cost savings of approximately $3 billion during the year and downsized the fleet so that it was well positioned to match demand entering into 2021.
During the year, the Company adapted to severe volume declines by realigning its fleet, consolidating locations and staffing to the reality of pandemic-level travel demand, cutting all non-essential spending and capital expenses, all the while enhancing cleaning and sanitization processes for the safety of customers and employees. While the Company was focused on cost savings, it kept its sights on the importance of providing customers the highest level of service and in 2020 was ranked No. 1 in Customer Satisfaction for Rental Cars by J.D. Power for the second year in a row.
"Throughout the difficulties of the past year, I have been exceptionally proud of our employees for their dedication to serving our customers and putting safety and satisfaction first. They remain our greatest asset," said Stone.
"I am humbled yet honored to lead such an iconic brand through one of the most challenging years in its history," continued Stone. "Based on our progress thus far, I believe more than ever that, with the continued support of our loyal customers and exceptional employees, we are laying the foundation for long-term success."

The pandemic-related impact on travel continued to result in fewer transaction days compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, mostly at airport locations. Volume trends continued to improve on a sequential quarterly basis with U.S. RAC revenues down 48% in the fourth quarter on 46% lower volume, compared with a 56% revenue decline year-over-year in the third quarter on 57% lower volume. Off-airport revenues comprised 45% of total revenue for the segment in the fourth quarter 2020 versus 33% in the prior year period.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month was impacted by residual values on certain vehicle models, and lower year-over-year retail sales volume during the quarter.
Direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses declined 36% year over year as the Company proactively reduced costs in line with demand.
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $113 million was driven by the impact of lower revenue, partially offset by lower fleet costs as the Company adjusted fleet levels to demand, and reduced expenses.

International travel restrictions and lockdowns continued to drive volume lower in the fourth quarter, however, trends continued to improve on a sequential quarterly basis. International RAC revenues were down 54% in the fourth quarter on 53% lower volume, compared with a 64% revenue decline year-over-year in the third quarter on 60% lower volume. Off-airport revenues comprised 63% of total revenue for the segment in the fourth quarter 2020 versus 44% in the prior year period. The mix shift in volume from airport rentals to longer-length, lower-priced off-airport rentals contributed to a 8% decrease in Total RPD versus fourth quarter 2019.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month benefited from strong residual values across key markets.
Direct operating and selling, general and administration expenses declined 45% year over year as the Company proactively reduced costs in line with demand.
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $41 million reflected lower revenue, partially offset by lower fleet costs as the Company adjusted fleet levels to demand, and reduced operating expenses.

RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION
The pre-tax GAAP and non-GAAP profitability metrics for Hertz Global's operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), are materially the same as those for Hertz Global for the fourth quarter 2020 and 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Hertz posted the same revenues as the Company, however its pre-tax loss was $2.2 billion versus the Company's pre-tax loss of $2.1 billion. The difference between Hertz's and the Company's pre-tax GAAP results is primarily due to Hertz's write off in the second quarter of 2020 of $133 million due from the Company. The non-GAAP profitability metrics for Hertz are materially the same as those for Hertz Global.
FINANCIAL REORGANIZATION
As previously announced, on May 22, 2020, Hertz Global and Hertz (together, the "Companies") and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Reorganization").
The Reorganization provides the time to put in place a new, stronger financial foundation to move successfully through the COVID-19 pandemic and to better position the Companies for the future. Throughout the Reorganization process, all of Hertz's businesses globally, including its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, Firefly, Hertz Car Sales, and Donlen subsidiaries, are open and serving customers. All reservations, promotional offers, vouchers, and customer and loyalty programs, including rewards points, are expected to continue as usual.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS
Hertz Global is the top-level holding company that indirectly wholly owns The Hertz Corporation (together, the "Company"). The term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 Diluted EPS")
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax, debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs, non-cash acquisition accounting charges and certain other miscellaneous items on a pre-tax basis. 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) attributable to the Company.
Adjusted Diluted 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 Diluted EPS are important to management because they allow management 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, net non-vehicle debt interest, vehicle debt-related charges and losses, restructuring and restructuring related charges, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs, information technology and finance transformation costs and certain other miscellaneous items. 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 to facilitate 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 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.
KEY METRICS
Available Car Days
Available Car Days represents Average Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a period.
Average Vehicles ("Fleet Capacity" or "Capacity")
Average Vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company at the beginning and end of a given period.
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month
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. 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 management and investors as it is reflective of how the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates in comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
Total Rental Revenues
Total Rental Revenues represents total revenues less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 management and investors as it represents a measurement that excludes the impact of ancillary revenues resulting from vehicle sales and facilitates in comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD"or "RPD"; also referred to as "pricing")
Total RPD represents the ratio of Total Rental Revenues to Transaction Days. This metric is 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" or "Total RPU Per Month")
Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of average Total Rental Revenues per vehicle per month. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to fleet capacity, or asset efficiency.
Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")
Transaction Days, also known as volume, 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. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days.
Vehicle Utilization ("Utilization")
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 fleet capacity.
