ITEM
2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On August 8, 2016, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and The Hertz Corporation (collectively, “Hertz” or the “Company”) issued a press release with respect to the Company’s second quarter 2016 financial results. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report. The Company utilized certain non-GAAP financial
measures in the press release that are detailed in the document attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
On August 9, 2016, the Company will conduct an earnings webcast relating to the Company's financial results for the second quarter 2016. The earnings webcast will be made available to the public via a link on the Investor Relations section of the Hertz website, IR.Hertz.com and the slides that will accompany the presentation will be available to the public at the time of the earnings webcast through the Company's website. Certain financial information relating to completed fiscal periods that will be part of the earnings webcast is included in the set of slides that will accompany the earnings webcast, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.2. The earnings webcast will include certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the Company's press release issued August 8, 2016 and attached hereto as part of Exhibit 99.1.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Certain statements contained in this report, and in related comments by the Company’s management, include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s liquidity and its possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategies. These statements often include words such as “believe,”“expect,”“project,”“potential,”“anticipate,”“intend,”“plan,”“estimate,”“seek,”“will,”“may,”“would,”“should,”“could,”“forecasts” or similar expressions. These statements are
based on certain assumptions that the Company has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in these circumstances. The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Among other items, such factors could include: any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result of the restatement of our previously issued financial results; our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in our
internal controls over financial reporting; levels of travel demand, particularly with respect to airline passenger traffic in the United States and in global markets; the effect of our separation of our vehicle and equipment rental businesses, any failure by Herc Holdings Inc. to comply with the agreements entered into in connection with the separation and our ability to obtain the expected benefits of the separation; significant changes in the competitive environment, including as a result of industry consolidation, and the effect of competition in our markets on rental volume and pricing, including on our pricing policies or use of incentives; increased vehicle costs due to declines in the value of our non-program vehicles; occurrences that disrupt rental activity during our peak periods; our ability to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and risks relating to increases in the cost of the vehicles we purchase; our ability to accurately estimate
future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used in our rental operations accordingly; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and the availability to us of additional or continued sources of financing for our revenue earning vehicles and to refinance our existing indebtedness; our ability to adequately respond to changes in technology and customer demands; our ability to maintain access to third-party distribution channels, including current or favorable prices, commission structures and transaction volumes; an increase in our vehicle costs or disruption to our rental activity, particularly during our peak periods, due to safety recalls by the manufacturers of our vehicles; a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks; financial instability of the manufacturers of our vehicles; any impact on us from the actions of our franchisees, dealers and independent contractors; our ability to maintain profitability
during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease); shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete dispositions; our ability to maintain favorable brand recognition; costs and risks associated with litigation and investigations; risks related to our indebtedness, including our substantial amount of debt, our ability to incur substantially more debt, the fact that substantially all of our consolidated assets secure certain of our outstanding indebtedness and increases in interest rates or in our borrowing margins; our ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in our Senior Facilities, our outstanding unsecured Senior Notes and certain asset-backed and asset-based arrangements; changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make accurate estimates
and the assumptions
underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings; risks associated with operating in many different countries, including the risk of a violation or alleged violation of applicable anticorruption or antibribery laws; the Company's ability to successfully outsource a significant portion of its information technology services or other activities; changes in the existing, or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations where such actions may affect our operations, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; changes to our senior management team and the dependence of our business operations on our senior management team; the effect of tangible and intangible asset
impairment charges; our exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historical levels; fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC.
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our filings with the SEC, including Old Hertz Holdings' and our recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak
only as of the date made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
