Hertz Global Holdings Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Full-year 2025 saw over $1 billion improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, with strong Q4 revenue despite significant headwinds. Positive trends in revenue and RPD continue into 2026, with disciplined cost control, improved customer satisfaction, and a focus on liquidity and growth in off-airport and mobility segments.
-
Revenue and EBITDA saw strong year-over-year gains, with record utilization and improved customer satisfaction. The company completed a major fleet refresh, expanded digital car sales, and provided cautious but optimistic guidance for 2026 amid some Q4 headwinds.
-
Positive adjusted EBITDA achieved for the first time in nearly two years, with $2.2B in Q2 revenue and improved fleet utilization. Pricing gains are delayed but demand and liquidity are strengthening, supporting a cautiously optimistic outlook for the second half and beyond.
-
The meeting confirmed a quorum, reviewed and approved the election of four directors, ratified the independent auditor, and passed the advisory vote on executive compensation. No shareholder questions were raised, and all proposals received board support.
-
Q1 2025 saw improved EBITDA loss, strong fleet rotation, and cost reductions, with liquidity at $1.2B. Guidance calls for break-even Q2 EBITDA, positive Q3 net income, and full-year margin in low single digits, supported by rising residual values and disciplined fleet management.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 was a year of transition with foundational improvements in fleet, cost, and customer experience, but financial results were impacted by fleet rotation and operational headwinds. Liquidity remains strong, and 2025 is expected to show sequential improvement in margins and key metrics as transformation efforts continue.
-
Q3 saw $2.6B revenue and a $157M adjusted EBITDA loss, impacted by a $1B non-cash fleet impairment. Management targets DPU below $300 by end-2025, with ongoing cost and fleet optimization, strong liquidity, and plans to raise debt capital.
-
Q2 revenue reached $2.4B, but adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $460M due to higher depreciation from accelerated fleet rotation. The company raised $1B in liquidity, is targeting improved unit economics by 2025, and expects strong demand and pricing discipline to continue.
