Hertz Reports First Quarter Operating Results
PARK RIDGE, NJ, Apr 28 (MARKET WIRE) --
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ)
-- Revenues of $1.6 billion with an adjusted net loss of $80.0 million,
or $(0.25) per share, and a net loss, on a GAAP basis, of $163.5 million,
or $(0.51) per share, for the first quarter of 2009.
-- Total net cash flow(1) improved to $760.7 million for the first
quarter, resulting in a reduction of total debt of $1.3 billion; net cash
provided by operating activities of $966.2 million for the first quarter.
-- Liquidity increased to approximately $5.4 billion(2) as of March 31,
2009.
-- The Company increases its target for incremental annualized costs
savings in 2009 to $500 million.
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) (with its subsidiaries, the
"Company" or "we") reported first quarter 2009 worldwide revenues of $1.6
billion, a decrease of 23.3%, or $474.3 million, year-over-year (an 18.3%
decrease in constant currency). Worldwide car rental revenues for the
quarter decreased 21.1% (a 15.9% decrease in constant currency) to $1.3
billion. Revenues from worldwide equipment rental for the first quarter
were $279.5 million, down 32.0% (a 27.5% decrease in constant currency)
over the prior year period.
First quarter 2009 adjusted pre-tax loss(1) was $116.6 million, versus
adjusted pre-tax income of $17.1 million in 2008, and loss before income
taxes and noncontrolling interest ("pre-tax loss"), on a GAAP basis, was
$210.0 million, versus a pre-tax loss of $55.8 million in the first
quarter of 2008. Corporate EBITDA(1) for the first quarter of 2009 was
$91.9 million, a decrease of 60.9% from the same period in 2008.
First quarter 2009 adjusted net loss(1) was $80.0 million, versus adjusted
net income of $6.5 million from the same period in 2008, resulting in
adjusted diluted loss per share(1) for the quarter of $(0.25), compared
with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the first quarter of
2008. First quarter 2009 net loss, on a GAAP basis, was $163.5 million, or
$(0.51) per share on a diluted basis, compared with a net loss of $57.7
million, or $(0.18) per share on a diluted basis, for the first quarter of
2008. The increase in GAAP net loss is attributable to decreased volume
and pricing, increased restructuring and related costs and residual value
declines.
Mark P. Frissora, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said, "We continue to generate strong cash flow and maintain significant
liquidity in the midst of the global recession. Additionally, we are
improving profit retention sequentially, mitigating the effect of
declining revenues on adjusted and GAAP earnings. In the first quarter,
revenues decreased almost $475 million year-over-year, while adjusted
pre-tax income declined approximately $134 million, or $154 million on a
GAAP basis. These results compare favorably with a fourth quarter 2008
revenue decline of $350 million and a $256 million decrease in adjusted
pre-tax income, or $1.53 billion on a GAAP basis, which included a $1.17
billion non-cash impairment charge. We expect profit retention will
continue to improve in future quarters as our financial results more
fully reflect recent cost actions. Additionally, we generated improved
first quarter total net cash flow of over $760 million, reduced total
debt by $1.3 billion and maintained liquidity at quarter end of almost
$5.4 billion. We are maintaining our focus on yield-managing high quality
revenue with tighter fleets to optimize cash flow and liquidity."
The Company took $38.4 million in restructuring and related charges in the
first quarter of 2009, primarily attributable to costs associated with job
reductions, the closure of rental locations and outsourcing/process
reengineering.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2009 with total debt of $9.69
billion and net corporate debt(1) of $3.85 billion, compared with total
debt of $10.97 billion and net corporate debt of $3.82 billion as of
December 31, 2008, an increase in net corporate debt of $36.7 million.
Total net cash flow for the quarter was $760.7 million compared with a use
of $95.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. The improvement of $856.2
million is attributable to better management of fleet rotation to preserve
liquidity and increase cash flow. On a GAAP basis, net cash provided by
operating activities was $966.2 million in the first quarter of 2009,
compared to $1,128.2 million in 2008.
The Company generated total net cash flow yield(1) of 60.2%, based on the
Company's $1,449.3 million of total net cash flow, for the 12 months
ending March 31, 2009, compared with total net cash flow yield of 11.7%,
based on the Company's $746.6 million of total net cash flow, for the 12
months ending March 31, 2008.
WORLDWIDE CAR RENTAL
The Company noted the U.S. car rental business made progress in the first
quarter generating year-over-year operational efficiencies in several
areas including fleet, staffing and exposure to certain U.S. auto
manufacturers. A few key metrics include:
-- Transaction length increased 5% over last year, driven primarily by
leisure transactions, including the new multi-month rental product.
-- Revenue per transaction, a good measure of pricing and transaction
length mix, increased 2%.
-- 15% lower average car-rental fleet, and 6% lower compared with the
fourth quarter of 2008, taking advantage of an improving used car market to
delete some older vehicles.
Worldwide car rental revenues were $1.3 billion for the first quarter
of 2009, a decrease of 21.1% (a 15.9% decrease in constant currency) from
the prior year period. Transaction days for the quarter decreased 12.4%
[(13.4)% U.S.; (10.1)% International]. U.S. off-airport revenues for the
first quarter decreased 9.1% year-over-year, and transaction days declined
4.1%. Rental rate revenue per transaction day(1) ("RPD") for the quarter
was 3.3% below the prior year period [(3.0)% U.S.; (4.1)% International].
Worldwide car rental adjusted pre-tax loss for the first quarter of 2009
was $33.5 million, compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $39.3 million
last year. The decrease is attributable to decreased volume and pricing
and residual value declines, partially offset by strong cost management
performance.
The worldwide average number of Company-operated cars for the first
quarter of 2009 was 380,900, a decrease of 12.9% over the prior year
period.
WORLDWIDE EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Worldwide equipment rental revenues were $279.5 million for the first
quarter of 2009, a 32.0% decrease (a 27.5% decrease in constant currency)
from the prior year period.
Adjusted pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.7 million, a
98.8% decrease over the prior year period, primarily attributable to the
effects of reduced volume and pricing, partially offset by cost management
initiatives. HERC achieved an adjusted pre-tax margin, based on revenues,
of 0.3%, and a Corporate EBITDA margin, based on revenues, of 40.4% for
the quarter.
The average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the first
quarter of 2009 decreased by 14.9% year-over-year -- compared with a 12.6%
increase in the first quarter of 2008 over the first quarter of 2007 -- to
$3.0 billion, and net revenue earning equipment as of March 31, 2009 was
$2.0 billion, a 23.9% decrease from the amount as of March 31, 2008.
OUTLOOK
Hertz is not providing specific quarterly or full year 2009 revenue,
earnings and cash flow guidance at this time. However, the Company makes
the following observations about current conditions affecting
its
businesses:
-- U.S. car rental and worldwide equipment rental demand appears to be
stabilizing, indicating a possible bottoming out of volume declines.
-- U.S. vehicle residuals have improved to within normal ranges, although
still lower year-over-year.
-- Leisure market car rental pricing continues to improve, while
corporate pricing declines should moderate with easier second half 2009
comparisons.
-- The Advantage Rent-a-Car acquisition is expected to drive additional
revenue growth in the U.S. leisure travel market.
-- Pricing pressure in U.S. equipment rental markets has not yet
dissipated.
-- 2009 cost actions will help deliver further improvements in profit
retention, even in the absence of an economic recovery.
-- The Company has increased its outlook for incremental, annualized 2009
cost savings to $500 million.
-- Based on current forecasts and companywide cost and debt reduction
actions, the Company expects to maintain sufficient cushion, through 2010,
between reported ratios and the covenant limits established in its credit
agreements.
RESULTS OF THE HERTZ CORPORATION
The Company's operating subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"),
posted the same revenues for the first quarter of 2009 as the Company.
Hertz's first quarter of 2009 pre-tax loss was, however, slightly higher
than that of the Company primarily because of additional interest expense
recognized by Hertz on an inter-company loan from the Company.
(1) Total net cash flow, total net cash flow yield, net corporate debt,
levered after-tax cash flow after fleet growth ("levered cash flow"),
adjusted pre-tax income (loss), Corporate EBITDA, adjusted net income
(loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and rental rate revenue
per transaction day are non-GAAP measures. See the accompanying
Attachments for the reconciliations and definitions for each of these
non-GAAP measures and the reason the Company's management believes that
these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.
(2) Total liquidity of $5.4 billion is comprised of $0.6 billion of cash,
$1.2 billion of undrawn corporate liquidity and $3.6 billion of fleet
financing availability. Total liquidity is subject to borrowing base
limitations and other factors -- we had $1.4 billion of the borrowing base
available at March 31, 2009 and $0.6 billion of cash.

Exhibit 1
Non-GAAP Measures: Definitions and Use/Importance
On December 21, 2005 ("Closing Date") an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary
of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Holdings") acquired all of The
Hertz Corporation's ("Hertz") common stock from Ford Holdings LLC ("Ford
Holdings") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September
12, 2005, among Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), Ford Holdings and Hertz
Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.). As a result of this
transaction, investment funds associated with or designated by Clayton,
Dubilier & Rice, Inc., The Carlyle Group and Merrill Lynch Global Private
Equity (collectively, the "Sponsors"), owned all of the common stock of
Hertz Holdings. After giving effect to the initial public offering of the
common stock of Hertz Holdings in November 2006 and a secondary offering
in June 2007, the Sponsors now own approximately 55% of the common stock
of Hertz Holdings. We refer to the acquisition of all of Hertz's common
stock as the "Acquisition." We refer to the Acquisition, together with
related transactions entered into to finance the cash consideration for
the Acquisition, to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and to
pay related transaction fees and expenses, as the "Transactions." The term
"GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Definitions of non-GAAP measures utilized in Hertz Holdings' April 28,
2009 Press Release are set forth below. Also set forth below is a summary
of the reasons why management of Hertz Holdings and Hertz believes that
the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the Press
Release provide useful information regarding Hertz Holdings' and Hertz's
financial condition and results of operations and additional purposes, if
any, for which management of Hertz Holdings and Hertz utilize the non-GAAP
measures.
1. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
("EBITDA") and Corporate EBITDA
We present EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA to provide investors with
supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and, in
the case of Corporate EBITDA, information utilized in the calculation of
the financial covenants under Hertz's senior credit facilities. EBITDA is
defined as consolidated net income before net interest expense,
consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization.
Corporate EBITDA differs from the term "EBITDA" as it is commonly used.
Corporate EBITDA means "EBITDA" as that term is defined under Hertz's
senior credit facilities, which is generally consolidated net income
before net interest expense (other than interest expense relating to
certain car rental fleet financing), consolidated income taxes,
consolidated depreciation (other than depreciation related to the car
rental fleet) and amortization and before certain other items, in each
case as more fully defined in the agreements governing Hertz's senior
credit facilities. The other items excluded in this calculation include,
but are not limited to: non-cash expenses and charges; extraordinary,
unusual or non-recurring gains or losses; gains or losses associated with
the sale or write-down of assets not in the ordinary course of business;
and earnings to the extent of cash dividends or distributions paid from
non-controlled affiliates. Further, the covenants in Hertz's senior
credit facilities are calculated using Corporate EBITDA for the most
recent four fiscal quarters as a whole. As a result, the measure can be
disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter.
Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent
four-quarter period or for any complete fiscal year.
Management uses EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA as performance and cash flow
metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the
preparation of our annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews,
as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions. In addition,
both metrics are important to allow us to evaluate profitability and make
performance trend comparisons between us and our competitors. Further, we
believe EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA are frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industries.
EBITDA is also used by management and investors to evaluate our operating
performance exclusive of financing costs and depreciation policies.
Further, because we have two business segments that are financed
differently and have different underlying depreciation characteristics,
EBITDA enables investors to isolate the effects on profitability of
operating metrics such as revenue, operating expenses and selling, general
and administrative expenses. In addition to its use to monitor performance
trends, EBITDA provides a comparative metric to management and investors
that is consistent across companies with different capital structures and
depreciation policies. This enables management and investors to compare
our performance on a consolidated basis and on a segment basis to that of
our peers. In addition, our management uses consolidated EBITDA as a
proxy for cash flow available to finance fleet expenditures and the costs
of our capital structure on a day-to-day basis so that we can more easily
monitor our cash flows when a full statement of cash flows is not
available.
Corporate EBITDA also serves as an important measure of our performance.
Corporate EBITDA for our car rental segment enables us to assess our
operating performance inclusive of fleet management performance,
depreciation assumptions and the cost of financing our fleet. In addition,
Corporate EBITDA for our car rental segment allows us to compare our
performance, inclusive of fleet mix and financing decisions, to the
performance of our competitors. Since most of our competitors utilize
asset-backed fleet debt to finance fleet acquisitions, this measure is
relevant for evaluating our operating efficiency inclusive of our fleet
acquisition and utilization. For our equipment rental segment, Corporate
EBITDA provides an appropriate measure of performance because the
investment in our equipment fleet is longer-term in nature than for our
car rental segment and therefore Corporate EBITDA allows management to
assess operating performance exclusive of interim changes in depreciation
assumptions. Further, unlike our car rental segment, our equipment rental
fleet is not financed through separate securitization-based fleet
financing facilities, but rather through our corporate debt. Corporate
EBITDA for our equipment rental segment is a key measure used to make
investment decisions because it enables us to evaluate return on
investments. For both segments, Corporate EBITDA provides a relevant
profitability metric for use in comparison of our performance against our
public peers, many of whom publicly disclose a comparable metric. In
addition, we believe that investors, analysts and rating agencies
consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA useful in measuring our ability to
meet our debt service obligations and make capital expenditures. Several
of Hertz's material debt covenants are based on financial ratios
utilizing Corporate EBITDA and non-compliance with those covenants could
result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding
under those agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP.
When evaluating our operating performance or liquidity, investors should
not consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a
substitute for, measures of our financial performance and liquidity as
determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income
or net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA
may have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude
items that are necessary elements of our costs and operations. Because
other companies may calculate EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA differently than
we do, EBITDA may not be, and Corporate EBITDA as presented is not,
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Borrowings under Hertz's senior credit facilities are a key source of our
liquidity. Hertz's ability to borrow under these senior credit facilities
depends upon, among other things, the maintenance of a sufficient
borrowing base and compliance with the financial ratio covenants based on
Corporate EBITDA set forth in the credit agreements for Hertz's senior
credit facilities. Hertz's senior term loan facility requires the
maintenance of a specified consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated
interest expense coverage ratio based on Corporate EBITDA, while its
senior asset-based loan facility requires that a specified consolidated
leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio be maintained
for periods during which there is less than $200 million of available
borrowing capacity under the senior asset-based loan facility. These
financial covenants became applicable to Hertz beginning September 30,
2006, reflecting the four quarter period ending thereon. Failure to
comply with these financial ratio covenants would result in a default
under the credit agreements for Hertz's senior credit facilities and,
absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, permit the acceleration
of all outstanding borrowings under the senior credit facilities. As of
March 31, 2009, we performed the calculations associated with the above
noted financial covenants and determined that Hertz is in compliance with
such covenants.
2. Adjusted Pre-Tax Income
Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income before income taxes and
noncontrolling interest plus non-cash purchase accounting charges,
non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization of debt financing
costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational
items. Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management 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 the operational performance of the
Company on the same basis that management uses internally.
3. Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is calculated as adjusted pre-tax income less a
provision for income taxes derived utilizing a normalized income tax rate
(34% in 2009 and 2008) and noncontrolling interest. The normalized income
tax rate is management's estimate of our long-term tax rate. Adjusted net
income is important to management and investors because it represents our
operational performance exclusive of the effects of purchase accounting,
non-cash debt charges, one-time charges and items that are not operational
in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.
4. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income
divided by, for 2009 and 2008, the actual diluted weighted average number
of shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, (322.7 million in 2008 and 325.5 million in 2007). Adjusted
diluted earnings per share is important to management and investors
because it represents a measure of our operational performance exclusive
of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, non-cash debt charges,
one-time charges and items that are not operational in nature or
comparable to those of our competitors.
5. Transaction Days
Transaction days represent the total number of days that vehicles were on
rent in a given period.
6. Car Rental Rate Revenue, Rental Rate Revenue Per Transaction Day and
Rental Rate Revenue Per Transaction
Car rental rate revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts,
associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional
insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and
concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the U.S.
and certain ancillary revenue. Rental rate revenue per transaction day is
calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of
transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of
fluctuations in foreign currency. Rental rate revenue per transaction is
calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of
transactions, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effects of
fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the
effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to
affect the comparability of underlying trends. These statistics are
important to management and investors as they represents the best
measurements of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental
business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that
management has the ability to control. The optional insurance products
are packaged within certain negotiated corporate, government and
membership programs and within certain retail rates being charged. Based
upon these existing programs and rate packages, management believes that
these optional insurance products should be consistently included in the
daily pricing of car rental transactions. On the other hand, non-rental
rate revenue items such as refueling and concession pass-through expense
items are driven by factors beyond the control of management (i.e. the
price of fuel and the concession fees charged by airports). Additionally,
NeverLost units are an optional revenue product which management does not
consider to be part of their daily pricing of car rental transactions.
7. Equipment Rental and Rental Related Revenue
Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net
of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges
for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue
arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other
ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all
periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our
management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign
currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of
underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and to
investors as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue
generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is
comparable with the reporting of other industry participants.
8. Same Store Revenue Growth
Same store revenue growth represents the change in the current period
total same store revenue over the prior period total same store revenue
as a percentage of the prior period. The same store revenue amounts are
adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in
foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of
fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the
comparability of underlying trends.
9. Unlevered Pre-Tax Cash Flow
Unlevered pre-tax cash flow is calculated as Corporate EBITDA less
equipment rental fleet depreciation including gain (loss) on sale,
non-fleet capital expenditures, net of non-fleet disposals, plus changes
in working capital (accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities), and changes in other assets
and liabilities (including public liability and property damage, U.S.
pension liability, other assets and liabilities, equity and
noncontrolling interest). Unlevered pre-tax cash flow is important to
management and investors as it represents funds available to pay
corporate interest and taxes and to grow our fleet or reduce debt.
10. Levered After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth
Levered after-tax cash flow before fleet growth is calculated as Unlevered
Pre-Tax Cash Flow less corporate net cash interest and corporate cash
taxes. Levered after-tax cash flow before fleet growth is important to
management and investors as it represents the funds available to grow our
fleet or reduce our debt.
11. Corporate Net Cash Interest (used in the calculation of Levered
After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth)
Corporate net cash interest represents total interest expense, net of
total interest income, less car rental fleet interest expense, net of car
rental fleet interest income, and non-cash corporate interest charges.
Non-cash corporate interest charges represent the amortization of
corporate debt financing costs and corporate debt discounts. Corporate
net cash interest helps management and investors measure the ongoing
costs of financing the business exclusive of the costs associated with
the fleet financing.
12. Corporate Cash Taxes (used in the calculation of Levered After-Tax
Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth)
Corporate cash taxes represents cash paid by the Company during the period
for income taxes.
13. Levered After-Tax Cash Flow After Fleet Growth
Levered after-tax cash flow after fleet growth is calculated as Levered
After-Tax Cash Flow Before Fleet Growth less equipment rental fleet growth
capital expenditures and less gross car rental fleet growth capital
expenditures plus car rental fleet financing. Levered after-tax cash flow
after fleet growth is important to management and investors as it
represents the funds available for the reduction of corporate debt.
14. Net Corporate Debt
Net corporate debt is calculated as total debt excluding fleet debt less
cash and equivalents and corporate restricted cash. Corporate debt
consists of senior notes issued prior to the Acquisition; borrowings under
our Senior Term Facility; borrowings under our Senior ABL Facility; our
Senior Notes; our Senior Subordinated Notes; and certain other
indebtedness of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net Corporate Debt
is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps
measure our leverage. Net Corporate Debt also assists in the evaluation
of our ability to service our non-fleet-related debt without reference to
the expense associated with the fleet debt, which is fully collateralized
by assets not available to lenders under the non-fleet debt facilities.
15. Corporate Restricted Cash (used in the calculation of Net Corporate
Debt)
Total restricted cash includes cash and equivalents that are not readily
available for our normal disbursements. Total restricted cash and
equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles
and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, our like-kind
exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self insurance regulatory
reserve requirements. Corporate restricted cash is calculated as total
restricted cash less restricted cash associated with fleet debt.
16. Net Fleet Debt
Net fleet debt is calculated as total fleet debt less restricted cash
associated with fleet debt. Fleet debt consists of our U.S. ABS Fleet
Debt, the Fleet Financing Facility, obligations incurred under our
International Fleet Debt Facilities, capital lease financings relating to
revenue earning equipment that are outside the International Fleet Debt
Facilities, the International ABS Fleet Financing Facility, the Belgian
Fleet Financing Facility, the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility, the
Canadian Fleet Financing Facility, the U.K. Leveraged Financing and the
pre-Acquisition ABS Notes. This measure is important to management,
investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure our leverage.
17. Restricted Cash Associated with Fleet Debt (used in the calculation of
Net Fleet Debt and Corporate Restricted Cash)
Restricted cash associated with fleet debt is restricted for the purchase
of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt
facilities and our car rental like-kind exchange program.
18. Total Net Debt
Total net debt is calculated as net corporate debt plus net fleet debt.
This measure is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as
it helps measure our leverage.
19. Total Net Cash Flow
Total net cash flow is calculated as the change in the debt balances less
the change in cash and equivalents and restricted cash, adjusted for the
effects of foreign currency. Total net cash flow is important to
management, investors and rating agencies as it represents funds available
to grow our fleet or reduce our debt.
20. Total Net Cash Flow Yield
Total net cash flow yield is calculated as total net cash flow divided by
the pro forma diluted number of shares outstanding during the period
(322.7 million in 2009 and 325.5 million in 2008) as a percentage of the
average stock price for the period ($7.46 for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2009 and $19.60 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008).
Total net cash flow yield is important to management, investors and
ratings agencies as it represents the relative movements between total
net cash flow and our stock price.
