Note 1—Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (Hertz Global when including its subsidiaries and VIEs and "Hertz Holdings" when excluding its subsidiaries and VIEs) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz" and interchangeably with Hertz Global, the "Company"), Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in the United States ("U.S."), Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Through its Donlen subsidiary, Hertz provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic resulting from the COVID-19 viral disease ("COVID-19"). In response to COVID-19, local and national governments around the world instituted shelter-in-place and similar orders and travel restrictions, and airline travel decreased suddenly and dramatically. Despite a strong start to the year, as a result of the impact on travel demand, late in the first quarter, the Company began experiencing a high level of rental cancellations and a significant decline in forward bookings. In response, the Company began adjusting its fleet levels to reflect the reduced level of demand by leveraging its multiple used-vehicle channels and negotiating with suppliers to reduce fleet commitments.
Additionally, the Company began aggressively managing costs, including implementing employee furlough programs affecting approximately 20,000 employees worldwide to align staffing levels with the slowdown in demand. The Company (i) initiated a restructuring program affecting approximately 11,000 employees in its U.S. RAC segment and U.S. corporate operations, the majority of which were previously furloughed; (ii) actively negotiated to abate or defer its airport rent and concession payments; (iii) substantially reduced capital expenditures; (iv) eliminated discretionary marketing spend; and (v) reduced commitments to purchase vehicles by approximately $4.0 billion from original commitments in its U.S. RAC segment, the majority of which were delivered during the second quarter of 2020. See Note 8, "Restructuring" for further information regarding the restructuring program disclosed above.
Although the Company had taken aggressive action to eliminate costs, it faced significant ongoing expenses, including monthly payments under its Amended and Restated Master Motor Vehicle Operating Lease and Servicing Agreement (Series 2013-G1) (the "Operating Lease") with Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC ("HVF"), pursuant to which Hertz leases from HVF vehicles used in the Company's U.S. rental car operations. Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP ("HVF II"), a special purpose financing subsidiary, issues asset-backed notes and lends the proceeds thereof to HVF to finance the acquisition of vehicles, which are then leased to Hertz pursuant to the Operating Lease. Monthly payments under the Operating Lease are variable and significant and are subject to volatility depending upon the changes in current market value estimates of the underlying leased vehicles. During April 2020, the Company engaged in discussions with various creditors to obtain relief from its obligations to make full rent payments under its Operating Lease. While such discussions were ongoing, to preserve liquidity, on April 27, 2020, Hertz did not make certain payments, including the full rent payments, in accordance with the Operating Lease.
As a result of the failure to make the full rent payments on April 27, 2020, an amortization event was in effect as of May 5, 2020 for all series of notes issued by HVF II and a liquidation event was in effect with respect to the variable funding notes (“Series 2013-A Notes”) issued by HVF II. As a result of the amortization event, and notwithstanding the forbearance agreement described below, proceeds from the sales of vehicles that collateralize the notes issued by HVF II were to be primarily applied to the payment of principal and interest under those notes and were not available to finance new vehicle acquisitions for Hertz. A liquidation event means that, unless the affected noteholders otherwise agree, the affected noteholders can direct the liquidation of vehicles serving as collateral for their notes.
On May 4, 2020, prior to the occurrence of the liquidation event with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes, Hertz, HVF, HVF II and DTG Operations, Inc. entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with

holders (the “VFN Noteholders”) of the Series 2013-A Notes representing approximately 77% in aggregate principal amount of the Series 2013-A Notes. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement that became effective against all VFN Noteholders, the VFN Noteholders agreed to forbear from exercising their liquidation remedies. The Forbearance Agreement with the VFN Noteholders expired on May 22, 2020.
Concurrently with entering into the Forbearance Agreement, on May 4, 2020, Hertz entered into limited waiver agreements (collectively, the “Waiver Agreements”) with certain of the lenders (the “Lenders”) under its (i) Senior RCF/senior term loan facility, (ii) letter of credit facility, (iii) alternative letter of credit facility and (iv) U.S. Vehicle RCF (collectively, the “Facilities”). Pursuant to the Waiver Agreements, the Lenders agreed to (a) waive any default or event of default that could have resulted from the above referenced missed payment under the Operating Lease, (b) waive any default or event of default that had arisen as a result of Hertz’s failure to deliver its 2020 operating budget on a timely basis in accordance with the Facilities and (c) extend the grace period to cure a default with respect to Hertz’s obligation to reimburse drawings that occurred under certain letters of credit during the waiver period. The Waiver Agreements which were effective across the Facilities expired on May 22, 2020.
In accordance with the Forbearance Agreement and the Waiver Agreements, the Company made a payment of approximately $30 million reflecting certain variable payment elements of monthly rent under the Operating Lease, including an interest component on May 5, 2020.
Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy
In connection with the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement and the Waiver Agreements described above and the continuing economic impact from COVID-19, on May 22, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Hertz Global, Hertz and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the U.S. and Canada (collectively the "Debtors" and the "Debtors- in-Possession") filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the "Petitions") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") are being jointly administered under the caption In re: the Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk, LLC ("Prime Clerk"), a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this web site is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this Form 10-Q.
In May 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved motions filed by the Debtors that were designed primarily to mitigate the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s operations, customers and employees. The Debtors are authorized to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, and pursuant to orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors are authorized to, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders (i) pay employees’ wages and related obligations; (ii) pay certain taxes; (iii) pay critical vendors and certain fees to airport authorities and provide adequate protection; (iv) continue to maintain certain customer programs; (v) maintain their insurance program; (vi) use certain cash collateral on an interim basis; and (vii) continue their cash management system.
On July 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order related to the Operating Lease (the "Interim Lease Order") which, among other things, directed the Debtors to (i) make $650 million of base rent payments under the Operating Lease to the HVF trustee in the amount of six equal monthly payments of approximately $108 million commencing in July 2020 through December 2020; (ii) dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, inclusive, where the proceeds of the dispositions, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the Interim Lease Order, will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease; (iii) fund interest payments on the Operating Lease from draws on certain existing letters of credit, which are reimbursable by the Debtors; and (iv) suspend litigation relating to the Operating Lease until January 15, 2021 with all parties reserving all rights with respect to future litigation claims. For the period from June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, the Company disposed of approximately 165,000 vehicles which are associated with the Interim Lease Order.

In September 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the rejection of certain unexpired leases (the "Lease Rejection Orders") comprised of 257 off airport and 15 airport locations in the Company's U.S. RAC segment. In October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the rejection of certain unexpired leases (the "October Lease Rejections Orders") comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in the Company's U.S. RAC segment. See Note 7, "Leases" for further details.
Debtors-In-Possession
The Debtors are currently operating as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In general, as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors are authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Automatic Stay
Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to obligations of the Debtors incurred prior to the Petition Date ("Pre-petition"). Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ Pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.
Potential Claims
The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. As part of the Chapter 11 Cases, parties believing that they have claims or causes of action against the Debtors may file proofs of claim evidencing such claims. Certain holders of Pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by the deadline for general claims, which was on October 21, 2020 (the “Bar Date”).
The Debtors' have received approximately 13,400 proofs of claim for an amount of approximately $104.9 billion. Such amount includes duplicate claims across multiple debtor legal entities. These claims will be reconciled to amounts recorded in the Company's accounting records. Differences in amounts recorded and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate. The Company may ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Company believes are duplicative, have been later amended or superseded, are without merit, are overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons. As a result of this process, the Company may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s assessment of the validity of claims received has not been completed. In light of the substantial number of claims filed, and expected to be filed, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete and likely will continue after the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted defaults, termination events and/or amortization events with respect to certain of the Company's existing debt obligations. As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the remaining capacity under almost all of the Company's revolving credit facilities was terminated, as disclosed in Note 6, "Debt." Consequently, the proceeds of sales of vehicles which serve as collateral for such vehicle finance facilities must be applied to the payment of the related indebtedness of the Non-Debtor Financing Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 6, "Debt") and are not otherwise available to fund the Company’s operations. Additionally, the Company is precluded from accessing any of its subordinated investment in the vehicle collateral until the related defaults are waived or the third party funding under those facilities has been retired, either through the monetization of the underlying collateral or the refinancing of the related indebtedness. Additionally, proceeds from vehicle receivables, excluding

manufacturer rebates, as of September 30, 2020 and ongoing vehicle sales must be applied to vehicle debt in amortization.
The Company currently has waivers related to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases under its European Vehicle Notes, European ABS and U.K. Fleet Financing facility that were extended to December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 6, "Debt."
The Company's inability to access its Senior RCF facility or retain any proceeds from the sale of vehicles under its U.S. ABS programs means that its source of liquidity is almost entirely its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from its operations and other new financing opportunities to the extent available. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $1.1 billion of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents which the Company believes will be sufficient to fund its operations through approximately December 31, 2020, assuming it does not experience any unforeseen liquidity needs before then, which could result in the utilization of the liquidity in advance of December 31, 2020. The Company believes, however, that if, among other things, (i) it cannot successfully extend the international vehicle debt waivers that expire on December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 6, "Debt," (ii) it cannot successfully implement a plan of reorganization, and (iii) there is not a significant recovery in the economic conditions in its major markets, its available cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by its operations will not be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next twelve months. Consequently, the Debtors pursued vehicle financing for certain of their operations, either through waivers on existing facilities or entering into new arrangements to fund vehicles and vehicle leases, to supplement their sources of funding.
On October 12, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing Hertz and Donlen Corporation to enter into certain agreements in connection with a new asset-based securitization facility with a newly formed non-Debtor special purpose entity, Donlen Fleet Lease Funding LLC ("DFLF"). On October 16, 2020, DFLF issued the Series 2020-1 Notes in an aggregate principal amount up to $400 million pursuant to this new facility, as disclosed in Note 6, "Debt."
On October 29, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain certain debtor-in-possession financing. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s order, on October 30, 2020, Hertz, as borrower, and Hertz Global and certain of its subsidiaries located in the United States and Canada, in each case that are debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, as guarantors, entered into a Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”). The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a superpriority secured debtor-in-possession credit facility comprised of delayed-draw term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $1.65 billion (the “DIP Loans”), of which (i) up to $1.0 billion can be used as equity for new interim fleet financing, giving the Debtors the ability to replenish their vehicle fleet in the future, and (ii) up to $800 million can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The DIP Loans are available in multiple draws of at least (i) $250 million each, or (ii) the remaining available commitments if such commitments are less than $250 million. The DIP Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.25% (subject to a 1.00% floor), which is reduced to LIBOR plus 6.75% upon a significant repayment of Pre-petition first lien debt. See Note 6, "Debt" for further details.
On November 5, 2020, Hertz Global issued a press release announcing that it secured commitments for fleet financing totaling $4 billion and has filed a motion for approval of Hertz entering into the documentation for the financing by the Bankruptcy Court. Upon approval, and together with the up to $1 billion of the Company's debtor-in-possession financing that may be used for equity in the fleet financing subsidiary, the Company will have access to up to $5 billion in total funding to support its fleet financing needs.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to successfully implement a plan of reorganization, among other factors, and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. Further, any plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result of the Company's financial condition, defaults under certain debt agreements as disclosed in Note 6, "Debt," and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, substantial doubt exists that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
NYSE Delisting and Transfer to the Over-the-Counter ("OTC") Market
On May 26, 2020, the Company received a letter from the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of Hertz Global from the NYSE in light of the Company’s disclosure on May 22, 2020 that it had commenced voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11. The Company appealed the determination in a timely manner and requested a hearing before the NYSE. On October 15, 2020, the NYSE heard the Company’s appeal. On October 29, 2020, the NYSE informed the Company, and publicly announced its determination following such appeal, that Hertz Global common stock is no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE and that the NYSE has suspended trading in Hertz Global's common stock (NYSE ticker symbol: HTZ) after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, the NYSE applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Form 25 to remove the common stock of Hertz Global from listing and registration on the NYSE at the opening of business on November 10, 2020.
As a result of the suspension and expected delisting, Hertz Global's common stock began trading exclusively on the OTC market on October 30, 2020 under the symbol HTZGQ.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 of Hertz Global and Hertz. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, therefore, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global. In the sections that combine disclosure of Hertz Global and Hertz, this report refers to actions as being actions of the Company, or Hertz Global, which is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and Hertz Global operates the business through Hertz. When appropriate, Hertz Global and Hertz are named specifically for their individual disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of Hertz Global and Hertz are separately disclosed and explained.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Effective on the Petition Date, the Company applied accounting standards applicable to reorganizations, Accounting Standards Codification 852 - Reorganizations, in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 which requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, Pre-petition obligations of the Debtors that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Company anticipates will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See Note 16, "Liabilities Subject to Compromise," for additional information. In addition, certain charges related to the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded as reorganization items, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the

three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 17, "Reorganization Items, Net," for additional information.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The December 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data is derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 25, 2020.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries and its VIEs, as applicable. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries and its VIEs, as applicable. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that sets forth a current expected credit loss impairment model for financial assets, which replaces the current incurred loss model, and issued amendments and updates to the new standard in 2018 and 2019. This model requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets), including trade receivables, measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The Company adopted this guidance when effective, on January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on a customer's accounting for implementation fees paid in a cloud computing service contract arrangement that addresses which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset and which costs to expense. Capitalized implementation fees are to be expensed over the term of the cloud computing arrangement, and the expense is required to be recognized in the same line item in the income statement as the associated hosting service expenses. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation fees on the balance sheet in the same line item as the prepayment for hosting service fees associated with the cloud computing arrangement. The Company adopted this guidance when effective, on January 1, 2020, using a prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has hosting arrangements in connection with its Enterprise Resource Planning systems. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, the Company capitalized certain implementation costs for its hosting arrangements in intangible assets, net, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Subsequent to the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020, the Company records implementation fees incurred in connection with its hosting arrangements in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in existing guidance and improves consistency in application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those annual periods. On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted this guidance early, as permitted, on a prospective basis, where adjustments as of January 1, 2020 were not material; therefore adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Not Yet Adopted
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform initiatives. This guidance is effective beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 where the transition method varies depending upon the specific expedient or exception. The Company is in the process of assessing the available expedients and exceptions and, if applicable, the method and timing of adoption.
Note 3—Divestitures
Sale of Non-vehicle Capital Assets
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company received additional cash from the sale of certain non-vehicle capital assets in its U.S. Rental Car segment, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019, and recognized an additional $20 million pre-tax gain on the sale, which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Sale of Marketable Securities
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold marketable securities for $74 million and recognized an immaterial gain on the sale in its corporate operations, which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Technology-related Intangible and Other Assets
Due to uncertainty surrounding the Company's financial ability to complete certain information technology projects as a result of COVID-19 and the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company concluded in the second quarter of 2020 that there was an impairment of such technology-related intangible assets and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $193 million in its corporate operations, representing a full impairment of the carrying value of such assets as of June 30, 2020 of $124 million and $69 million of technology-related intangible assets and other assets, respectively.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Due to the impact related to COVID-19, the Company's reduction in cash flow projections, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and declines in the stock price of Hertz Global, the Company tested the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2020, and based on the quantitative test, no impairment was recorded in the second quarter of 2020. However, the fair values of certain tradenames, which are indefinite-lived intangible assets, in the Company's U.S. RAC and International RAC segments were in excess by 3% and 18% of the carrying values of $934 million and $560 million, respectively.
The Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification 350 – Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The Company determined that the projected revenues, expenses and cash flows, reflecting the expected duration and extent of impact to its business, customers, economy and the travel industry from COVID-19, and the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases, were materially consistent with the assumptions utilized in the Company’s June 30, 2020 quantitative impairment assessment. As a result of the foregoing considerations, along with the

consideration of other indicators noted in ASC 350, the Company concluded there were no indicators of impairment triggered in accordance with ASC 350 in the third quarter of 2020.
Further deterioration in the general economic conditions in the travel industry, the Company’s cash flows and the Company's ability to obtain future financing to maintain its fleet or the weighted average cost of capital assumptions may result in an impairment charge to earnings in future quarters. The Company will continue to closely monitor actual results versus its expectations as well as any significant changes in market events or conditions, including the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and the travel industry, and the resulting impact to its assumptions about future estimated cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital. If the Company's expectations of the operating results, both in magnitude or timing, do not materialize, or if its weighted average cost of capital increases, the Company may be required to record goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges, which could be material.

The weighted-average interest rate for such debt is disclosed in subsequent rows under "non-vehicle debt subject to compromise".
(2)References to the "Senior Notes" include the series of Hertz's unsecured senior notes set forth in the table below which are included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

(3)Maturity reference is to the earlier "expected final maturity date" as opposed to the subsequent "legal final maturity date." The expected final maturity date is the date by which Hertz and investors in the relevant indebtedness originally expected the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness to be repaid in full. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable in full. Refer to the HVF II amortization event as described below, where the expected maturity is based on the sale of the underlying vehicles and payments under the Interim Lease Order or the refinancing of the current debt.
(4)In the case of the Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP ("HFLF") Medium Term Notes, such notes are repayable from cash flows derived from third-party leases comprising the underlying HFLF collateral pool. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and the resulting amortization events, as described below, the revolving period for all series were terminated, and are amortizing monthly by an amount equal to the lease collections payable to that series and the maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the date by which Hertz expects such series of notes to be repaid in full, which is based upon the contractual amortization of the underlying leases as well as the assumed rate of prepayments of such leases. Such maturity reference is to the “expected final maturity date” as opposed to the subsequent “legal final maturity date.” The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable. Although the underlying lease cash flows that support the repayment of the HFLF Medium Term Notes may vary, the cash flows generally are expected to approximate a straight-line amortization of the related notes from the initial maturity date through the expected final maturity date.
(5)References to the "European Vehicle Notes" include the series of Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V.'s, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz organized under the laws of the Netherlands, unsecured senior notes (converted from Euros to U.S. dollars at a rate of 1.17 to 1 and 1.12 to 1 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively), set forth in the table below.

Chapter 11
As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company reclassified certain of its non-vehicle debt instruments, net of deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums, as applicable, to liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The Company has suspended accruing and paying interest and amortizing deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums, as applicable, on the Senior Notes, Promissory Notes and Alternative Letter of Credit Facility, as of the Petition Date. The Company is continuing to pay in cash an amount equal to the monthly interest at the non-default rate for the Senior Term Loan and Senior RCF (collectively, "the First Lien Facilities"), and has suspended amortizing the associated deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums for the First Lien Facilities, as applicable, as of the Petition Date. Additionally, the Company is continuing to pay in kind an amount equal to the monthly interest at the non-default rate for the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes as of July 1, 2020. On August 25, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, which among other things, directed that on December 1, 2020, the Company is to pay in cash an amount equal to half of the interest that would have accrued on the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes during the period July 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020. On October 29, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, which among other things, directed the Company to pay in cash an amount equal to the monthly interest that would have accrued on the First Lien Facilities during the period May 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 upon entry of the DIP Order as defined below.
The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated the Debtors’ obligations under the Senior Term Loan, the Senior RCF, the U.S. Vehicle RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility. Additionally, the filing triggered defaults, termination events and/or amortization events under certain obligations of (i) Hertz International Limited, Hertz Holdings Netherlands BV ("Hertz Netherlands") and the direct and indirect subsidiary companies located outside of the United States and Canada (collectively the "International Subsidiaries") (some of which were waived or amended, subject to certain time limitations, as disclosed further below), and (ii) HVF, HVF II, HFLF and certain other vehicle financing subsidiaries (collectively the "Non-Debtor Financing Subsidiaries").
Non-Vehicle Debt
Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement
On October 15, 2020, Hertz entered into a commitment letter for debtor-in-possession financing (the “DIP Commitment Letter”) with the holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding amount of its Pre-petition first-lien debt (collectively, the “Initial Commitment Parties”) pursuant to which the Initial Commitment Parties committed to backstop a superpriority senior secured debtor-in-possession, non-amortizing, delayed draw term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $1.65 billion under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Initial Commitment Letter. The Initial Commitment Letter was amended on October 28, 2020 to add certain additional commitment parties (together with the Initial Commitment Parties, the “Commitment Parties”).
On October 29, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain certain debtor-in-possession financing (the "DIP Order"). In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, on October 30, 2020, Hertz, as borrower, and Hertz Global and certain of its subsidiaries located in the United States and Canada, in each case that are debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, as guarantors (collectively, the “DIP Debtors”), entered into the DIP Credit Agreement with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders and Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for DIP Loans, of which (i) up to $1.0 billion can be used as equity for new interim fleet financing, giving the DIP Debtors the ability to replenish their vehicle fleet in the future, and (ii) up to $800 million can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The DIP Loans are available in multiple draws of at least (i) $250 million each, or (ii) the remaining available commitments if such commitments are less than $250 million. The DIP Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.25% (subject to a 1.00% floor), which is reduced to LIBOR plus 6.75% upon a significant repayment of Pre-petition first lien debt.

The DIP Facility matures on December 31, 2021 and has limited covenants and events of default, including one milestone requiring the filing of a plan of reorganization by August 1, 2021. The DIP Facility will be secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the DIP Debtors’ assets (subject to certain exclusions) and has the support of the requisite majority of the DIP Debtors’ first lien Pre-petition debt to allow for consensual priming of existing liens. The DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of Pre-petition debt or otherwise dictate how Pre-petition claims will be addressed in a plan of reorganization.
The DIP Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants for debtor-in-possession loan agreements of this type, including covenants limiting the loan parties and their subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, engage in mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions, pay dividends and distributions and make payments in respect of junior or Pre-petition indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions for debtor-in-possession loan agreements of this type. The DIP Credit Agreement also includes conditions precedent, representations and warranties, mandatory prepayments, affirmative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Certain bankruptcy-related events are also events of default, including, but not limited to, the dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of title 11 of the United States Code, the appointment of a trustee pursuant to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, and certain other events related to the impairment of the lenders’ rights or liens granted under the DIP Credit Agreement.

HVF II U.S. Vehicle Variable Funding Notes
HVF II Series 2013-A Notes: In February 2020, HVF II extended the maturity of the Series 2013-A Notes from March 2021 to March 2022 and increased the commitments thereunder by $750 million. After giving effect to the transactions, the aggregate maximum principal amount of the Series 2013-A Notes was $4.9 billion, where $0.2 billion of commitments have a maturity of March 2021.
As a result of the failure to make the full rent payments on April 27, 2020, an amortization event was in effect as of May 5, 2020 for all series of notes issued by HVF II and a liquidation event was in effect with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes issued by HVF II. As a result of the amortization event, proceeds from the sales of vehicles that collateralize the notes issued by HVF II must be primarily applied to the payment of principal and are allocated on what approximates a pro rata basis to the reduction of principal on the basis of seniority by class. As disclosed in Note 1, "Background," per the terms of the Interim Lease Order entered on July 24, 2020, the Debtors were directed, among other things, to make $650 million of base rent payments under the Operating Lease to the HVF trustee in the amount of six equal monthly payments of approximately $108 million commencing in July 2020 through December 2020. The parties have agreed to defer litigation related to the Operating Lease until January 15, 2021. HVF II is accruing default interest, while non-default interest is being paid on the HVF II Variable Funding Notes and the U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes from funds drawn on existing letter of credit facilities, as described below.

HFLF Variable Funding Notes
HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes: In February 2020, HFLF amended the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes ("2013-2 Notes") to extend the end of the revolving period from March 2021 to March 2022 and increased the commitments thereunder by $100 million, such that the aggregate maximum borrowings of the 2013-2 Notes increased to $600 million.
The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases triggered an amortization event under the HFLF Variable Funding Notes and the HFLF Medium Term Notes. As a result, the remaining commitments under the HFLF Series 2013-2 Notes were terminated and, while the amortization events continue, proceeds from lease payments and from the sales of vehicles that collateralize the notes issued by HFLF must be applied to the reduction of principal and payment of interest on the notes. The principal will be allocated on approximately a pro rata basis and distributed to the note holders on the basis of seniority by class. HFLF is accruing default interest, while non-default interest is being paid on the HFLF Variable Funding Notes and the HFLF Medium Term Notes.
DFLF Variable Funding Notes
On October 12, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing Hertz and Donlen Corporation to enter into certain agreements in connection with a new asset-based securitization facility with a newly formed non-Debtor special purpose entity, DFLF. On October 16, 2020, DFLF issued the Series 2020-1 Notes to offset funding needs created by the amortization of the HFLF Variable Funding Notes disclosed above, where DFLF will fund lease originations going forward. As of the closing date in October 2020, DFLF will have access to up to up to $400 million of available funding subject to certain conditions. Currently, DFLF has $200 million of committed funding available, subject to the payment of incremental up-front fees.

An amortization event that would have arisen under the Australian Securitization as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases was waived in May 2020 as HA Fleet Pty Limited, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz, entered into a permanent waiver agreement under the Australian Securitization such that the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity was reduced from AUD$270 million to AUD$210 million.
U.K. Financing Facility
In April 2020, the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity under the U.K. Financing Facility was reduced from £250 million to £200 million as result of a downgrade in the credit rating of Hertz. Events of default that would have arisen under the U.K. Financing Facility as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases were waived in May 2020 as Hertz U.K. Limited entered into a waiver agreement under the U.K. Financing Facility which expired on September 30, 2020, and on October 1, 2020, Hertz U.K. Limited entered into an extension of the waiver agreement under the U.K. Financing Facility which expires on December 31, 2020, or earlier if certain conditions are not met. Under the waiver agreement, the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity under the U.K. Financing Facility was reduced to £110 million.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's "revolving credit facilities." As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, almost all of the Company's "revolving credit facilities" were terminated, as disclosed in the following table. The remaining "revolving credit facilities" are a combination of cash-flow-based revolving credit facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.
The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time).

Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2020, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $736 million. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support the Company's insurance programs, vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds as well as to provide credit enhancement for its asset-backed securitization facilities. Of this amount, $231 million were issued under the Senior RCF, $299 million were issued under the Letter of Credit Facility and $200 million were issued under the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2020, $11 million and $82 million of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon under the Senior RCF and Alternative Letter of Credit Facility, respectively, to fund interest payments due under the HVF II Notes. The draws remain unreimbursed by the Company, and, except as otherwise set forth in orders from the Bankruptcy Court, as a result are accruing interest at the non-default rate.
Special Purpose Entities
Substantially all of the Company's revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, HVF II GP Corp., Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance LLC, HFLF and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) will be available to satisfy the claims of unsecured creditors unless the secured creditors are paid in full.
The Company has a 25% ownership interest in IFF No. 2, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. IFF No. 2 is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of IFF No. 2 are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, IFF No. 2 had total assets of $640 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable, and total liabilities of $640 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is currently in default under its Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility, and the Company is in breach of the Leverage Ratio.
Note 7—Leases
The Company enters into certain agreements as a lessor under which it rents vehicles and leases fleets to customers.
The Company's operating leases for vehicle rentals have rental periods that are typically short term (e.g., daily or weekly) and can generally be extended for up to one month or terminated at the customer's discretion. Rental charges are computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. In connection with the vehicle rental, the Company offers supplemental equipment rentals (e.g., child seats and ski racks) which are deemed lease components. The Company also offers value-added services in connection with the vehicle rental, which are deemed non-lease components, such as loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and satellite radio. Additionally, the Company charges for variable services primarily consisting of tolls and refueling charges incurred during the rental period, and for fees associated with the early or late termination of the vehicle lease.
The Company's operating leases for fleets have lease periods that are typically for twelve months, after which the lease converts to a month-to-month lease, allowing the vehicle to be surrendered any time thereafter. The Company's fleet leases contain a terminal rental adjustment clause which are considered variable charges.
As a result of the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company received rent concessions in the form of abatement and payment deferrals of fixed and variable rent payments for its airport and off airport locations in the amount of $84 million and $221 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which represent amounts previously due in the period between March 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The Company elected to apply the accounting relief provided by the FASB and elected to not evaluate whether the concession is a modification. The Company will account for the concession as if it were part of the existing contract.
In September 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Lease Rejection Orders which authorized the rejection of certain unexpired leases comprised of 257 off airport and 15 airport locations in the Company's U.S. RAC segment. In October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the October Lease Rejection Orders which authorized the rejection of certain unexpired leases comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in the Company's U.S. RAC segment.

Note 8—Restructuring
Due to the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company initiated a restructuring program, beginning in April 2020, affecting approximately 11,000 employees in its U.S. Rental Car segment and corporate operations and incurred approximately $37 million of charges for termination benefits during the second quarter of 2020, where $7 million was classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 as disclosed below. This program is expected to be completed within the next twelve months.
No termination charges were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The following tables summarize restructuring charges under this program incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Note 9—Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES Act contains many tax provisions including, but not limited to, accelerated alternative minimum tax ("AMT") refunds, payroll tax payment deferrals, employee retention credits, enhanced net operating loss ("NOL") carryback rules and an increase to the interest deduction limitation. The Company has considered the income tax provisions of the CARES Act in the tax benefit calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continues to monitor and analyze the CARES Act along with global legislation issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hertz Global
The effective tax rate is 14% and 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate is 14% and 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Hertz Global recorded a tax benefit of $36 million and $232 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to a tax provision of $74 million and $78 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 is due to increased losses on Hertz Global's operations due to the effect of COVID-19, primarily offset by the impact of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets for certain foreign and domestic jurisdictions. Additionally, Hertz Global no longer asserts permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings, due to the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background." Hertz Global does not anticipate that the change in its assertion will have a material impact on its cash flows during the next twelve months, between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021.

Note 10—Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Rights Offering
In June 2019, Hertz Global filed a prospectus supplement to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the SEC on June 12, 2019 (the "Registration Statement") for a rights offering to raise gross proceeds of approximately $750 million and providing for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 57,915,055 new shares of Hertz Global common stock (the "Rights Offering"). Upon closing in July 2019, the Rights Offering was fully subscribed resulting in Hertz Global selling 57,915,055 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $750 million.
Open Market Sale Agreement
In June 2020, subsequent to approval from the Bankruptcy Court and pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement, Hertz Global entered into an open market sale agreement under which it may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million ("ATM Program"). Prior to its suspension on June 15, 2020 and ultimate termination on June 18, 2020, Hertz Global issued 13,912,368 shares under the ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $28 million, which is included in non-vehicle restricted cash in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

Note 11 —Employee Retirement Benefits
The Company sponsors several employee retirement plans for its U.S. employees. The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Hertz Retirement Plan") is a U.S. cash balance plan which was amended in 2014 to permanently discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. Additionally, the Company sponsors the Hertz Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan ("BEP") and the Hertz Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (together with the BEP, the "Supplemental Plans"), where benefit accruals and participation under the Supplemental Plans were discontinued by the Company effective December 31, 2014, although service continues to vest.
As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," participants of the Supplemental Plans are no longer entitled to benefit payments and are considered general creditors of the Company. As such, the Company classified $24 million of its U.S. pension benefit obligation as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. Also, amounts accrued for benefit payments under the Company's multiemployer pension plans of $4 million have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.
The following table sets forth the net periodic pension cost of the Hertz Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Plans (collectively, the "U.S. Plan"), which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding service cost which is included in direct vehicle and operating expense. Due to settlement accounting, the discount rate for the U.S. Plan has been revised from a weighted average rate of 3.1% as of December 31, 2019 to 2.4% as of October 1, 2020.

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash Equivalents and Investments
The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in money market funds and time deposits. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 inputs).
Investments in equity securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of marketable securities as of December 31, 2019. See Note 3, "Divestitures." for further information.

Legal Proceedings
Self-insured Liabilities
The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet commenced for self-insured liabilities arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for self-insured liabilities on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's liability recorded for self-insured liabilities is $481 million and $553 million, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, typically involving operational issues common to the vehicle rental business, including claims by employees and former employees and governmental investigations. The Company has summarized below the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party as of September 30, 2020 or the period after September 30, 2020, but before the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Governmental Investigations - The Company previously identified certain activities in Brazil that raised issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and other federal and local laws, which the Company self-reported to appropriate government entities. The matters associated with the FCPA and other federal matters were previously resolved without further action by the applicable U.S. government entities. The Company entered into a leniency agreement in August 2020 with the Brazilian authorities for a monetary sanction against a Hertz non-Debtor subsidiary, and the matters under local Brazilian laws are now closed.
In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings (as defined in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K) and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in certain of its public disclosures in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. The complaint, as amended, was dismissed with prejudice on April 27, 2017 and on September 20, 2018, the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the complaint with prejudice. On February 5, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the federal district court to exercise its discretion and allow the plaintiffs to reinstate their claims to include additional allegations from the administrative order agreed to by the SEC and the Company in December 2018, which was supplemented by reference to the Company’s subsequently filed litigation against former executives (discussed below). On September 30, 2019, the federal district court of New Jersey denied the plaintiffs’ motion for relief from the April 27, 2017 judgment and a related motion to allow the filing of a proposed fifth amended complaint. On October 30, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal as to the district court’s latest denial with the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The parties fully briefed the appeal and oral argument had been scheduled for June 19, 2020. As a result of the Company's bankruptcy, the appeal was stayed as to the Company, but the plaintiffs advocated that the appeal could proceed against the individual defendants. On October 13, 2020, the Third Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the plaintiffs’ motion for relief since the motion was not timely filed and the appeal as to the Company remains stayed.
The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for self-insured liabilities, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including certain of those described above, where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the accompanying consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Other Proceedings
Litigation Against Former Executives - The Company filed litigation in federal court in New Jersey against Mark Frissora, Elyse Douglas and John Jefferey Zimmerman on March 25, 2019, and in state court in Florida against

Scott Sider on March 28, 2019, all of whom were former executive officers of Old Hertz Holdings. The complaints predominantly allege breach of contract and seek repayment of incentive-based compensation received by the defendants in connection with restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related accounting for prior periods. The Company is also seeking recovery for the costs of the SEC investigation that resulted in an administrative order on December 31, 2018 with respect to events generally involving the restatements included in Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other damages resulting from the necessity of the restatements. The Company is pursuing these legal proceedings in accordance with its clawback policy and contractual rights. The parties are currently involved in motion practice in the New Jersey action and discovery and depositions have commenced in the Florida action. In October 2019, the Company entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement with Elyse Douglas. In September and October 2020, the judge in the New Jersey action entered orders requiring the parties and applicable insurers to attend and participate in mediation. The attorneys in the Florida action voluntarily agreed to participate in the same mediation which is now scheduled for the end of November 2020. Pursuant to the agreements governing the separation of Herc Holdings from Hertz Global that occurred on June 30, 2016, Herc Holdings is entitled to 15% of the net proceeds of any repayment or recovery.
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. In connection with the Spin-Off (as defined in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K), the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.
Note 14—Related Party Transactions
Agreements with the Icahn Group
In the normal course of business, the Company purchases goods and services and leases property from entities controlled by Carl C. Icahn and his affiliates, including The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack (collectively, the "Icahn Group"). In May 2020, the Icahn Group fully divested all owned shares of Hertz Global common stock (the "Icahn Divestiture"). During the five months ended May 31, 2020, the Company purchased approximately $23 million worth of goods and services from these related parties. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased approximately $15 million and $39 million, respectively, worth of goods and services from these related parties.
As a result of the Icahn Divestiture, the Icahn Group is no longer a related party of the Company. Subsequent to the Icahn Divestiture, there continue to be arms-length transactions between the Company and the Icahn Group.

Transactions and Agreements between Hertz Holdings and Hertz
In June 2019, Hertz entered into a master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $425 million with an expiration in June 2020 (the "2019 Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under the 2019 Master Loan was $129 million, representing advances and any accrued but unpaid interest. Additionally, Hertz had a loan due to an affiliate in the amount of $65 million as of December 31, 2019 which represents a tax-related liability to Hertz Holdings. The net impact of the above amounts are included in stockholder's equity in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hertz as of December 31, 2019.
As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the full amount outstanding under the 2019 Master Loan was deemed uncollectible, resulting in a charge of $133 million during the second quarter of 2020, which is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for Hertz for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the loan due to an affiliate, which represents a tax-related liability from Hertz to Hertz Holdings, in the amount of $65 million was classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hertz as of September 30, 2020. See Note 16, "Liabilities Subject to Compromise".
On May 23, 2020, Hertz entered into a new master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $25 million with an expiration in May 2021 (the "New Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of September 30, 2020, there is $1 million outstanding under the New Loan representing additional charges incurred in the third quarter of 2020 associated with the ATM Program, as disclosed in Note 10, "Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global," paid by Hertz on behalf of Hertz Holdings.

In January 2018, Hertz entered into a Master Motor Vehicle Lease and Management Agreement (the “767 Lease Agreement”) pursuant to which Hertz granted 767 Auto Leasing LLC (“767”), an entity affiliated with the Icahn Group, the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz at rates aligned with the rates at which Hertz sells vehicles to third parties. As disclosed above, due to the Icahn Divestiture, the Icahn Group is no longer a related party of the Company. Hertz leases the vehicles purchased by 767 under the 767 Lease Agreement or from third parties, under a mutually developed fleet plan and Hertz manages, services, repairs, sells and maintains those leased vehicles on behalf of 767. Hertz currently rents the leased vehicles to drivers of transportation network companies ("TNC") from rental counters within locations leased or owned by affiliates of 767 ("Icahn Locations"), including locations operated under a master lease agreement with The Pep Boys - Manny, Joe & Jack. The 767 Lease Agreement had an initial term, as extended, of approximately 22 months, and is subject to automatic six month renewals thereafter, unless terminated by either party (with or without cause) prior to the start of any such six month renewal.
767’s payment obligations under the 767 Lease Agreement are guaranteed by American Entertainment Properties Corp. ("AEPC"), an entity affiliated with the Icahn Group. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, 767 distributed $55 million to AEPC, and there were no cash contributions from AEPC to 767, except for certain services. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, AEPC contributed $5 million and $50 million, respectively, to 767 along with certain services.
The Company is entitled to 25% of the profit from the rental of the leased vehicles, as specified in the 767 Lease Agreement, which is variable and based primarily on the rental revenue, less certain vehicle-related costs, such as depreciation, licensing and maintenance expenses. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 767 due to its power to direct the activities of 767 that most significantly impact 767's economic performance and the Company's obligation to absorb 25% of 767's gains/losses. Accordingly, 767 is consolidated by the Company as a VIE.
In October 2019, the 767 Lease Agreement was amended such that, among other changes, 767 vehicles will be available for rent from Hertz locations that are opened in replacement of closed Icahn Locations, and the 767

vehicles may be available for rent to traditional off airport customers in addition to TNC drivers, when certain conditions apply.
Note 15—Segment Information
The Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the financial information for the Company’s operating segments. The Company aggregates certain of its operating segments into its reportable segments. The Company has identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by its operating segments and the geographic areas in which its operating segments conduct business, as follows:
•U.S. Rental Car ("U.S. RAC") - rental of vehicles (i.e., cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S. and consists of the Company's U.S. operating segment;
•International Rental Car ("International RAC") - rental and leasing of vehicles (i.e., cars, vans, crossovers and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, internationally and consists of the Company's Europe and Other International operating segments, which are aggregated into a reportable segment based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products and services, customers, delivery methods and general regulatory environments;
•All Other Operations - primarily consists of the Company's Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, together with other business activities which represent less than 1% of revenues and expenses of the segment.
In addition to the above reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate") which includes general corporate assets and expenses and certain interest expense (including net interest on non-vehicle debt). Corporate includes other items necessary to reconcile the reportable segments to the Company's total amounts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities, "Hertz Global") is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities, "Hertz"). Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, and Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global's assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global's revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows herein is for Hertz and also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects, unless noted. Differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global. Please refer to the defined terms in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q when reviewing the MD&A.
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2019 Form 10-K together with the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors,” and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 (this "Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including revenue earning vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
In this MD&A we refer to the following non-GAAP measure and key metrics:
•Adjusted Corporate EBITDA - important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and 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 our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability and accordingly a GAAP measure, is calculated exclusive of certain items which are largely consistent with those used in the calculation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.
•Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important key metric to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the expected time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Depreciation Per Unit Per Month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
•Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD," also referred to as "pricing") - important key metric 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.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
•Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important key metric to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("Average Vehicles" or "fleet capacity").
•Transaction Days - important key metric to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and Vehicle Utilization. Transaction Days 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.
•Vehicle Utilization - important key metric to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher Vehicle Utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenues.
Our non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above non-GAAP measure and key metrics are defined, and the non-GAAP measure is reconciled to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Overview of the Impact from COVID-19 on our Business
The outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020 and has spread to multiple global regions. The impact of this pandemic has been and will likely continue to be extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses around the world. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, many governments around the world initially placed significant restrictions on travel, individuals voluntarily reduced their air travel in attempts to avoid of the outbreak, and many businesses announced closures and imposed travel restrictions. There is continued uncertainty about the magnitude and duration of the negative impact from COVID-19 and the length and scope of travel restrictions and business closures imposed by governments of impacted countries and private businesses.
In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, we began aggressively managing costs and (i) initiated a restructuring program affecting approximately 11,000 employees in our U.S. RAC segment and U.S. corporate operations, the majority of which were previously furloughed, (ii) actively negotiated to abate or defer our airport rent and concession payments, (iii) substantially reduced capital expenditures; (iv) eliminated discretionary marketing spend; and (v) reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles by approximately $4.0 billion from original commitments in our U.S. RAC segment, the majority of which were delivered during the second quarter of 2020.
Although we took aggressive action to eliminate costs, we faced significant ongoing monthly expenses, including monthly payments under our Operating Lease, pursuant to which Hertz leases vehicles which we use in our U.S.

rental car operations. On April 27, 2020, Hertz did not make certain payments in accordance with the Operating Lease, and as a result, an amortization event was in effect as of May 5, 2020 for all series of notes issued by HVF II and a liquidation event was in effect with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes issued by HVF II. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 1, "Background" for additional information on the Forbearance Agreement and Waiver Agreements which expired on May 22, 2020.
Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy
In connection with the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement and the Waiver Agreements described above and the continuing economic impact from COVID-19, on May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed Petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re: the Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk, a third party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this web site is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity Considerations Following the Chapter 11 Filing
On July 24, 2020, per the terms of the Interim Lease Order entered on July 24, 2020, the Debtors were directed, among other things, to (i) make $650 million of base rent payments under the Operating Lease to the HVF trustee in the amount of six equal monthly payments of approximately $108 million commencing in July 2020 through December 2020; (ii) dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, inclusive, where the proceeds of the dispositions, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the Interim Lease Order, will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease; (iii) fund interest payments on the Operating Lease from draws on certain existing letters of credit, which are reimbursable by the Debtors; and (iv) suspend litigation relating to the Operating Lease until January 15, 2021 with all parties reserving all rights with respect to future litigation claims. For the period from June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, we disposed of approximately 165,000 vehicles which are associated with the Interim Lease Order. Also, refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below.
As a result of the Lease Rejection Orders approved by the Bankruptcy Court in September 2020, 257 off airport and 15 airport locations with unexpired leases were authorized for rejection in our U.S. RAC segment. In October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the October Lease Rejection Orders comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in our U.S. RAC segment. These rejections did not materially change the minimum fixed obligations for operating leases as disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Contractual Obligations" included in our 2019 Form 10-K.
As a result of our ongoing actions to eliminate costs, in the third quarter of 2020, we (i) negotiated rent concessions in the form of abatement and payment deferrals of fixed and variable rent payments for our airport and off airport locations in the amount of $84 million which represent amounts previously due in the period between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020; (ii) reduced our revenue earning vehicle expenditures by $2.4 billion, or 91%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019; (iii) reduced our non-vehicle capital asset expenditures by $35 million, or 67%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to a reduction in information technology and finance transformation program costs; and (iv) sold 56,000, or 72%, more vehicles in our U.S. RAC segment in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due to the Interim Lease Order and strength in residual values. We are continuing to review our cost structure and fleet size to align with expected rental car volumes.
On October 29, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain certain debtor-in-possession financing. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s order, on October 30, 2020, Hertz, as borrower, and Hertz Global and certain of its subsidiaries located in the United States and Canada, in each case that are debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, as guarantors, entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a superpriority secured debtor-in-possession credit facility comprised of delayed-draw term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $1.65 billion, of which (i) up to $1.0 billion can be used as equity for new

interim fleet financing, giving the Debtors the ability to replenish their vehicle fleet in the future, and (ii) up to $800 million can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The DIP Loans are available in multiple draws of at least (i) $250 million each, or (ii) the remaining available commitments if such commitments are less than $250 million. The DIP Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.25% (subject to a 1.00% floor), which is reduced to LIBOR plus 6.75% upon a significant repayment of Pre-petition first lien debt. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt" for further details.
On November 5, 2020, Hertz Global issued a press release announcing that it secured commitments for fleet financing totaling $4 billion and has filed a motion for approval of Hertz entering into the documentation for the financing by the Bankruptcy Court. Upon approval, and together with the up to $1 billion of our debtor-in-possession financing that may be used for equity in our fleet financing subsidiary, we will have access to up to $5 billion in total funding to support its fleet financing needs.
NYSE Delisting
As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, on October 29, 2020, the NYSE informed us that Hertz Global common stock is no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE and that the NYSE has suspended trading in Hertz Global's common stock (NYSE ticker symbol: HTZ) after the market close on October 29, 2020. As a result of the suspension and expected delisting, Hertz Global's common stock began trading exclusively on the OTC market on October 30, 2020 under the symbol HTZGQ.
Our Business
Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and as such, we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. However, as a result of the Interim Lease Order, Hertz will dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, where the proceeds from the dispositions will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease. See the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A for further information.
Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.
Our total revenues are primarily derived from rental and related charges and consist of:
•Worldwide vehicle rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with value-added services, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and other products and fees. Also included are ancillary revenues associated with retail vehicle sales and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees are less than 2% of total revenues each period); and
•All other operations revenues - revenues from vehicle leasing and fleet management services by our Donlen business and other business activities.
Our expenses primarily consist of:
•Direct vehicle and operating expense ("DOE"), primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation

costs; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs;
•Depreciation expense and lease charges relating to revenue earning vehicles, including costs associated with the disposal of vehicles;
•Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A"), which includes advertising costs and administrative personnel costs, along with costs for information technology and finance transformation programs;
•Interest expense, net; and
•Reorganization items, net, which includes charges associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, primarily professional fees.
Our Business Segments
We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
•U.S. RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S.;
•International RAC - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, internationally; and
•All Other Operations - Comprised primarily of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities.
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.
Seasonality
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we typically increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. However, as a result of the COVID-19 mitigation actions, we initiated a restructuring program in the second quarter of 2020 affecting approximately 11,000 employees in our U.S. RAC segment and U.S. corporate operations. Additionally, as a result of the Interim Lease Order, Hertz will dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, where the proceeds from the dispositions will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including utilization initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. As a result of the Lease Rejection Orders in September 2020, 257 off airport and 15 airport locations with unexpired leases were authorized for rejection in our U.S. RAC segment. Additionally, in October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the October Lease Rejection Orders comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in our U.S. RAC segment.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Operating Overview
The pandemic has continued to cause a substantial reduction to airline travel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As a large portion of our business is generated at airport locations, these disruptions during our peak season have had, and we expect it to continue to have, a material adverse impact on our results of

percentages are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands, and as a result, may not agree to the amount when calculated from the tables in millions.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The impacts from COVID-19 could have a material impact to certain critical accounting estimates, and as a result, may have an adverse impact on our future operating results.
Revenue Earning Vehicles
COVID-19 may have a significant impact on the used-vehicle market, resulting in a material deterioration of residual values. This deterioration could impact our current fleet and sales plans resulting in changes to the holding period of our vehicles as well as our ability to dispose of vehicles in the period originally anticipated. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Court may issue additional orders directing us to dispose of vehicles sooner than anticipated. Changes in any or all of these variables could cause a material change in our estimates regarding depreciation expense.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Due to the impact related to COVID-19, our reduction in cash flow projections, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and declines in the stock price of Hertz Global, we tested the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2020, and based on the quantitative test, no impairment was recorded in the second quarter of 2020. However, the fair values of certain tradenames, which are indefinite-lived intangible assets, in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments were in excess by 3% and 18% of the carrying values of $934 million and $560 million, respectively.
We test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event as defined by ASC 350. We determined that the projected revenues, expenses and cash flows, reflecting the expected duration and extent of impact to our business, customers, economy and the travel industry from COVID-19, and the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases, were materially consistent with the assumptions utilized in our June 30, 2020 quantitative impairment assessment. As a result of the foregoing considerations, along with the consideration of other indicators noted in ASC 350, we concluded there were no indicators of impairment triggered in accordance with ASC 350 in the third quarter of 2020.
Further deterioration in the general economic conditions in the travel industry, our cash flows and our ability to obtain future financing to maintain our fleet or the weighted average cost of capital assumptions may result in an impairment charge to earnings in future quarters. We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus our expectations as well as any significant changes in market events or conditions, including the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the travel industry, and the resulting impact to our assumptions about future estimated cash flows, and the weighted average cost of capital. If our expectations of the operating results, both in magnitude or timing, do not materialize, or if our weighted average cost of capital increases, we may be required to record goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges, which could be material.
Subrogation Receivables
The impact of COVID-19 could result in a deterioration of the credit worthiness of our customers and third-parties regarding our subrogation receivables, and as a result we could incur material write-offs or a reduction in future collections.

We may record additional valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets. Further, in some jurisdictions, we may incur additional cash taxes due to changes in fleet acquisitions and dispositions and limitations on utilization of net operating losses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Total revenues decreased $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to the impact from COVID-19 where there was a decrease of $1.1 billion and $449 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. U.S. RAC revenues decreased due primarily to lower volume. Excluding a $9 million fx impact, revenues for our International RAC segment decreased $459 million also due to lower volume and pricing.
DOE decreased $661 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to a decrease of $451 million and $208 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. DOE in our U.S. RAC segment decreased due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above and a reduction in fixed costs. Excluding a $7 million fx impact, DOE in our International RAC segment decreased $215 million due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges decreased $319 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to a decrease of $238 million and $67 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The decrease in our U.S. RAC segment is due primarily to a reduction in fleet size in response to pandemic-related volume declines and strength in residual values. Excluding a $2 million fx impact, depreciation in our International RAC segment decreased $69 million due primarily to a reduced fleet size.
SG&A decreased $89 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower marketing costs in our U.S. and International RAC segments and lower personnel costs in our U.S. RAC segment.
Vehicle interest expense, net decreased $24 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower debt levels primarily in our U.S. RAC segment and lower market interest rates.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $51 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to interest on certain non-vehicle debt being suspended as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, lower debt levels in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 and lower market interest rates.
We had other income of $6 million in the third quarter of 2019, which was primarily comprised of a $6 million gain on marketable securities.
We incurred $78 million of net reorganization charges in the third quarter of 2020 in our corporate operations for professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.
The effective tax rate was 14% and 30% in the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and we recorded a tax benefit of $36 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to a tax provision of $75 million in the third quarter of 2019. The effective income tax rate and related tax benefit in 2020 compared to 2019 were driven by increased losses on our operations due to the effect of COVID-19, primarily offset by the impact of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets for certain foreign and domestic jurisdictions.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Total revenues decreased $3.4 billion in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to a decrease of $2.5 billion and $939 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. U.S. RAC revenues decreased due primarily to lower volume. Excluding a $7 million impact of fx, revenues for our International RAC segment decreased $933 million also due to lower volume and pricing.
DOE decreased $1.4 billion in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to a decrease of $949 million and $421 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The decrease in U.S. RAC DOE was due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above and a reduction in fixed costs. Excluding the $6 million impact of fx, DOE for International RAC decreased $415 million due to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges decreased $259 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due to decreases of $164 million and $101 million in our U.S. RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The decrease in our U.S. RAC segment is due to a reduction in fleet size in response to pandemic-related volume declines and strength in residual values. Excluding the $3 million impact of fx, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges for our International RAC segment decreased $98 million due primarily to a reduced fleet size.
SG&A decreased $204 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower marketing costs in our U.S. and International RAC segments, lower personnel costs in our U.S. RAC segment and lower information technology and finance transformation costs in our corporate operations.

Vehicle interest expense, net decreased $13 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower market interest rates and lower vehicle debt levels primarily in our International RAC segment.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $93 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower debt levels, lower market interest rates and the suspension of interest on certain non-vehicle debt as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases.
We had a $193 million impairment of technology-related intangible assets and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs in the nine months of 2020 in our corporate operations due to uncertainty surrounding our financial ability to complete certain information technology projects as a result of COVID-19 and the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.
We incurred a charge of $133 million in the nine months of 2020 in our corporate operations resulting from the full write-off of the 2019 Master Loan with Hertz Holdings due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.
We had other income of $15 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to $37 million in the nine months of 2019. Other income in 2020 was primarily comprised of a $20 million gain due to additional cash received from the sale of non-vehicle capital assets, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019, partially offset by $4 million in pension-related settlement charges. Other income in 2019 was primarily comprised of a $26 million gain on marketable securities and a $15 million gain on the sale of non-vehicle capital assets.
We incurred $101 million of net reorganization charges in the nine months of 2020 in our corporate operations for professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.
The effective tax rate in the nine months of 2020 was 14% compared to 53% in the nine months of 2019. We recorded a tax benefit of $259 million in the nine months of 2020 compared to a tax provision of $79 million in the nine months of 2019. The effective income tax rate and related tax benefit in 2020 compared to 2019 were driven by increased losses on our operations due to the effect of COVID-19, primarily offset by the impact of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets for certain foreign and domestic jurisdictions.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - HERTZ GLOBAL
The above discussion for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global.
Hertz Global had $2 million of interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $2 million and $5 million of interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz. This amount represents interest associated with amounts outstanding under a master loan agreement between the companies. Hertz includes this amount as interest income in its statement of operations, but this amount is eliminated in consolidation for purposes of presenting Hertz Global. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Hertz had $27 million of income tax benefit that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz Global due primarily to the master loan write-off included in Hertz's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Hertz had $1 million of income tax provision that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz Global.

In the third quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019, Donlen's results were flat primarily due to lower leasing volume, partially offset by the associated reduction in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges and reduced SG&A expenses. In the nine months of 2020 versus 2019, Donlen's results were slightly favorable primarily due to a decrease in SG&A due to gains on interest rate derivative financial instruments.

(b)Transaction Days 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.
(c)Average Vehicles are determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, Average Vehicles is used to calculate our Vehicle Utilization which represents the portion of our vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenues. Vehicle Utilization is calculated by dividing total Transaction Days by Available Car Days. The calculation of Vehicle Utilization is shown in the table below:

(f) Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month and is calculated as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, divided by the Average Vehicles in each period and then dividing by the number of months in the period reported. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is useful in analyzing underlying trends. The calculation of Depreciation Per Unit Per Month is shown below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by financing arrangements maintained in the U.S. and internationally.
As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $1.1 billion of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents and $717 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Of these amounts, approximately $435 million of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents and $71 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 discussed above, we changed our indefinite investment assertion with respect to our non-U.S. earnings, and if not in the form of loan repayments or subject to favorable tax treaties, repatriation of some of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations could expose us to additional cash taxes.
Liquidity Considerations Related to COVID-19
As discussed above, the outbreak of COVID-19 has spread across the globe, resulting in a global economic slowdown and disruptions of travel and other industries, all of which are continuing to negatively impact our industry. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners being prevented from conducting normal business activities which in some cases is for an indefinite period of time. This was largely caused by shutdowns that were initially requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Additionally, individuals voluntarily reduced travel in attempts to avoid the outbreak.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Although we took aggressive action to eliminate costs, we faced significant ongoing monthly expenses, including monthly payments under our Operating Lease, pursuant to which Hertz leases vehicles which we use in our U.S. rental car operations. On April 27, 2020, Hertz did not make certain payments in accordance with its Operating Lease, and as a result, an amortization event was in effect as of May 5, 2020 for all series of notes issued by HVF II and a liquidation event was in effect with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes issued by HVF II. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 1, "Background" for additional information on the Forbearance Agreement and Waiver Agreements which expired on May 22, 2020.
Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy
In connection with the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement and the Waiver Agreements described above and the continuing economic impact from COVID-19, on May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed Petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re: the Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk, a third party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this web site is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this Form 10-Q.
In May 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved motions filed by the Debtors that were designed primarily to mitigate the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s operations, customers and employees. The Debtors are authorized to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, and pursuant to orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors are authorized to, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders (i) pay employees’ wages and related obligations; (ii) pay certain taxes; (iii) pay critical vendors and certain fees to airport authorities and provide adequate protection; (iv) continue to maintain certain customer programs; (v) maintain their insurance program; (vi) use certain cash collateral on an interim basis; and (viii) continue their cash management system.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted defaults, termination events and/or amortization events with respect to certain of the Company's existing debt obligations. As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the remaining capacity under almost all of our revolving credit facilities was terminated, as disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt." Consequently, the proceeds of sales of vehicles which serve as collateral for such vehicle finance facilities must be applied to the payment of the related indebtedness of the Non-Debtor Financing Subsidiaries and are not otherwise available to fund our operations. Additionally, we are precluded from accessing any of our subordinated investment in the vehicle collateral until the related defaults are waived or the third party funding under those facilities has been retired, either through the monetization of the underlying collateral or the refinancing of the related indebtedness. Additionally, proceeds from vehicle receivables, excluding manufacturer rebates, as of September 30, 2020 and ongoing vehicle sales must be applied to vehicle debt in amortization.
On July 24, 2020, per the terms of the Interim Lease Order entered on July 24, 2020, the Debtors were directed, among other things, to (i) make $650 million of base rent payments under the Operating Lease to the HVF trustee in the amount of six equal monthly payments of approximately $108 million commencing in July 2020 through December 2020; (ii) dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, inclusive, where the proceeds of the dispositions, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the Interim Lease Order, will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease; (iii) fund interest payments on the Operating Lease from draws on certain existing letters of credit, which are reimbursable by the Debtors; and (iv) suspend litigation relating to the Operating Lease until January 15, 2021 with all parties reserving all rights with respect to future litigation

claims. For the period from June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, we disposed of approximately 165,000 vehicles which are associated with the Interim Lease Order.
As a result of the Lease Rejection Orders approved by the Bankruptcy Court in September 2020, 257 off airport and 15 airport locations with unexpired leases were authorized for rejection in our U.S. RAC segment. In October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the October Lease Rejection Orders comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in our U.S. RAC segment. These rejections did not materially change the minimum fixed obligations for operating leases as disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Contractual Obligations" included in our 2019 Form 10-K.
We currently have waivers related to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases under our European Vehicle Notes, European ABS and U.K. Fleet Financing facility that expire on December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt."
As a result of our ongoing actions to eliminate costs in the third quarter of 2020, we have (i) negotiated rent concessions in the form of abatement and payment deferrals of fixed and variable rent payments for our airport and off airport locations in the amount of $84 million which represent amounts previously due in the period between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020; (ii) reduced our revenue earning vehicle expenditures by $2.4 billion, or 91%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019; (iii) reduced our non-vehicle capital asset expenditures by $35 million, or 67%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to a reduction in information technology and finance transformation program costs; and (iv) sold 56,000, or 72%, more vehicles in our U.S. RAC segment in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 due to the Interim Lease Order and strength in residual values. We are continuing to review our cost structure and fleet size to align with expected rental car volumes.
Our inability to access our Senior RCF facility or retain any proceeds from the sale of vehicles under our U.S. ABS programs means that our source of liquidity is almost entirely our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from our operations and other new financing opportunities to the extent available. As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.1 billion of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents which we believe will be sufficient to fund our operations through approximately December 31, 2020, assuming we do not experience any unforeseen liquidity needs before then, which could result in the utilization of the liquidity in advance of December 31, 2020. We believe, however, that if, among other things, (i) we cannot successfully extend the international vehicle debt waivers that expire on December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt," (ii) we cannot successfully implement a plan of reorganization, and (iii) there is not a significant recovery in the economic conditions in our major markets, our available cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by our operations will not be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next twelve months. Consequently, the Debtors are seeking debtor-in-possession financing and pursuing vehicle financing for certain of their operations, either through waivers on existing facilities or entering into new arrangements to fund vehicles and vehicle leases, to supplement their sources of funding.
On October 12, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing Hertz and Donlen Corporation to enter into certain agreements in connection with a new asset-based securitization facility with a newly formed non-Debtor special purpose entity, DFLF. On October 16, 2020, DFLF issued the Series 2020-1 Notes in an aggregate principal amount up to $400 million pursuant to this new facility, as disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt."
On October 29, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain certain debtor-in-possession financing. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s order, on October 30, 2020, Hertz, as borrower, and Hertz Global and certain of its subsidiaries located in the United States and Canada, in each case that are debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, as guarantors, entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a superpriority secured debtor-in-possession credit facility comprised of delayed-draw term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $1.65 billion, of which (i) up to $1.0 billion can be used as equity for new interim fleet financing, giving the Debtors the ability to replenish their vehicle fleet in the future, and (ii) up to $800 million can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The DIP Loans are available in multiple draws of at least (i) $250 million each, or (ii) the remaining available commitments if such commitments are less than $250 million. The DIP Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.25% (subject to a 1.00% floor), which

is reduced to LIBOR plus 6.75% upon a significant repayment of Pre-petition first lien debt. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 6, "Debt" for further details.
On November 5, 2020, Hertz Global issued a press release announcing that it secured commitments for fleet financing totaling $4 billion and has filed a motion for approval of Hertz entering into the documentation for the financing by the Bankruptcy Court. Upon approval, and together with the up to $1 billion of our debtor-in-possession financing that may be used for equity in our fleet financing subsidiary, we will have access to up to $5 billion in total funding to support its fleet financing needs.
Cash Flows - Hertz
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Hertz had unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents of $1.1 billion and $865 million, respectively, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents of $717 million and $495 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the net change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents for the periods shown:

During the nine months of 2020, cash flows from operating activities decreased by $1.3 billion period over period primarily due to the $1.6 billion change in net loss attributable to Hertz driven by the impact of COVID-19 discussed above, partially offset by the associated reduction of $493 million in working capital requirements.
Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. However, as a result of the Interim Lease Order, Hertz will dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, where the proceeds from the dispositions will be used to make payments under the Operating Lease. During the nine months of 2020, there was a $9.1 billion decrease in the use of cash for investing activities period over period. Cash outflows for revenue earning vehicles decreased $6.3 billion as we reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles, primarily in our U.S. RAC segment, due to the impact from COVID-19 and a $2.6 billion increase of cash proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles as we accelerated the disposition of vehicles due to the Interim Lease Order and strength in residual values.
Net financing cash outflows were $4.1 billion in the nine months of 2020 compared to cash inflows of $2.5 billion in the nine months of 2019, primarily due to a $6.8 billion reduction in vehicle debt borrowings in 2020 compared to 2019 as we reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles.
Cash Flows - Hertz Global
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Hertz Global had unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents of $1.1 billion and $865 million, respectively, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents of $745

Net change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents | $ | 522 | $ | (715) | $ | 1,237 |
Fluctuations in operating, investing and financing cash flows from period to period are due to the same factors as those discussed for Hertz above, with the exception of any cash inflows or outflows related to the master loan agreement between Hertz and Hertz Global and proceeds from the issuance of stock under the ATM Program as disclosed in Note 10, "Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global" to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Financing
Substantially all of our revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, HVF II GP Corp., Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance LLC, HFLF and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) will be available to satisfy the claims of unsecured creditors unless the secured creditors are paid in full. For a discussion of additional risks associated with COVID-19, see Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for information on our outstanding debt obligations and our borrowing capacity and availability under our revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2020. Cash paid for interest during the nine months of 2020 was $78 million for interest on non-vehicle debt and $275 million for interest on vehicle debt. Cash paid for interest during the nine months of 2019 was $182 million for interest on non-vehicle debt and $331 million for interest on vehicle debt. The $104 million reduction in non-vehicle debt interest is primarily due to suspending interest payments on certain debt, due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Covenants
Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility contained a financial maintenance covenant applicable to such facilities. Such covenant provided that Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreements governing such facilities, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed a ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is currently in default under its Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility.
Summarized Financial Information - Hertz
The following tables present the summarized financial information as combined for The Hertz Corporation, ("Parent”), and the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Facilities and Senior Second Priority Secured Notes and the value of such assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of the unsecured creditors of Hertz until the claims of secured creditors are paid in full.
During the first quarter of 2020, we early adopted Rule 13-01 of the SEC's Regulation S-X that simplifies the existing disclosure requirements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and allows for the simplified disclosure to be included within Part 1, Item II, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Hertz has included the accompanying summarized financial information based on Rule 13-01 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Management of Hertz does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to Hertz's investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In September 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Lease Rejection Orders which authorized the rejection of certain unexpired leases comprised of 257 off airport and 15 airport locations in our U.S. RAC segment. In October 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the October Lease Rejection Orders comprised of 29 airport and 24 off airport locations in our U.S. RAC segment. These rejections did not materially change the minimum fixed obligations for operating leases as disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K. Due to the impact of COVID-19 discussed above, we have reduced commitments to purchase vehicles with approximately a $4.0 billion reduction from original commitments in our U.S. RAC segment, where the majority of remaining 2020 commitments were incurred during the second quarter of 2020.
Additionally, as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, certain financings are subject to change following the conclusion of such proceedings. Refer to Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise as of September 30, 2020 and changes to our aggregate indebtedness.
Excluding the commitments previously discussed, there have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our known contractual obligations as set forth in the table included in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2019 Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
Indemnification Obligations
There have been no significant changes to our indemnification obligations as compared to those disclosed in Note 14, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments" of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with indemnification obligations and will accrue for expected losses when they are probable and estimable.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report on Form 10-Q include "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our 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 we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative.
Important factors that could affect our actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, among others, those that may be disclosed from time to time in subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, those described under "Item 1A-Risk Factors" included in our 2019 Form 10-K and this Report on Form 10-Q and the following, which were derived in part from the risks set forth in "Item 1A-Risk Factors" of our 2019 Form 10-K and this Report on Form 10-Q:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.
As a result of our declining credit profile from the COVID-19 impact disclosed in Note 1, "Background," we are no longer able to enter into certain derivative financial instruments or renew existing derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate market risks arising from the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates (including credit spreads). As a result, we have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cross currency obligations, primarily intercompany loans. Assuming a hypothetical change of one percentage point to the foreign currency exchange rates on our intercompany loan balance as of September 30, 2020, our pre-tax operating results would increase (decrease) by approximately $3 million.
Additionally, we were party to various interest rate caps (the "Interest Rate Caps") and an interest rate swap which have been unwound or terminated. The Interest Rate Caps were used to mitigate the cost at inception of purchased caps (the "Purchased Caps") on our variable rate HVF II U.S. ABS program debt. The Purchased Caps remain in place and provide protection against increases in rates on our variable rate HVF II U.S. ABS debt. As a result of terminating the Interest Rate Caps, we are no longer exposed to their associated market risk.
We were also party to an (receive fixed-pay floating) interest rate swap (the "Interest Rate Swap") to better match the mix of fixed and floating rate on our Donlen U.S. ABS program debt to the mix of fixed and floating rate assets (i.e. vehicle leases in our All Other Operations segment). The termination of the Interest Rate Swap may result in decreased earnings from variable rate leases in a declining rate environment, and as such, variable rate vehicle leases are now supported by a fixed rate cost of debt. We estimate the impact on our operations in our All Other Operations segment to be approximately a $2 million increase to interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Current year to date dispositions of Hertz Global's common stock by certain significant shareholders, as disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 14, "Related Party Transactions", likely resulted in an "ownership change" as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382. IRC Section 382 can limit the utilization of the federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards. We currently believe that this "ownership change" will not significantly impact our ability to utilize these U.S. tax attributes. However, there are numerous factors that are considered in the calculation of the IRC Section 382 limitation and, if one or several of these factors should be revised in the future, our ability to utilize our tax attributes could change.
We expect to receive notification from the German and U.S. tax authorities within ninety (90) days from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that they have agreed on a resolution of a transfer pricing matter covering the 2005-2010 tax years. Upon receipt of such notification, we will reassess and, if appropriate, adjust our uncertain tax benefit related to the matter.
Except for the effects described above and the impact from COVID-19 on the global economy, there have been no other material changes to the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in our 2019 Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information related to the Chapter 11 Cases that were filed on May 22, 2020 is included in Part 1, Item 1, Note 1, "Background," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
For a description of certain pending legal proceedings see Part I, Item 1, Note 13, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are in the process of Chapter 11 reorganization cases under the Bankruptcy Code, which may cause our common stock to decrease in value or may render our common stock worthless.
On May 22, 2020, we filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, thereby commencing the Chapter 11 Cases for certain debtors, including Hertz Global. The price of our common stock has been volatile following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and may decrease in value or become worthless. Accordingly, any trading in our common stock during the pendency of our Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our common stock. In addition, on October 29, 2020, Hertz Global received notification from the NYSE that Hertz Global's common stock is no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE and that the NYSE suspended trading in Hertz Global's common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. Delisting our common stock may adversely impact our liquidity, impair our stockholders' ability to buy and sell our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital, and the market price of our common stock could decrease. Recoveries in the Chapter 11 Cases for holders of common stock, if any, will depend upon our ability to negotiate and confirm a plan, the terms of such plan, the recovery of our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, if any, and the value of our assets. Although we cannot predict how our common stock will be treated under a plan, we expect that common stock holders would not receive a recovery through any plan unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness, are paid in full, which would require a significant and rapid and currently unanticipated improvement in business conditions to pre-COVID-19 or close to pre-COVID-19 levels. We also expect our stockholders’ equity to decrease as we use cash on hand to support our operations in bankruptcy. Consequently, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock will receive no recovery under the Chapter 11 Cases and that our common stock will be worthless.
As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 Cases and operating under Chapter 11 may restrict our ability to pursue strategic and operational initiatives.
For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include:
•our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases from time to time;
•our ability to comply with and operate under the requirements and constraints of the Bankruptcy Code and under any cash management, cash collateral, adequate protection, or other orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time;
•our ability to engage in intercompany transactions and to fund operations from cash on hand or from financings and, in the event of such financings, our ability to comply with the terms of such financings;
•our ability to negotiate and consummate a Chapter 11 plan;
•our ability to develop, fund, and execute our business plan; and
•our ability to continue as a going concern.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity associated with the Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, customers and employees. In particular, critical vendors, suppliers, and/or customers may determine not to do business with us due to the Chapter 11 Cases and we may not be successful in securing alternative sources. Also, transactions outside the ordinary course of business are subject to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of opportunities. Additionally, uncertainty with respect to intercompany transactions may negatively impact our captive insurance companies’ ability to meet insurance regulatory requirements. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 process may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and there is no certainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our common stock has been delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock and our stockholders.
On October 29, 2020, Hertz Global received notification from the NYSE that Hertz Global's common stock is no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE and that the NYSE suspended trading in Hertz Global's common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, the NYSE applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Form 25 to remove the common stock of Hertz Global from listing and registration on the NYSE at the opening of business on November 10, 2020. Upon deregistration of Hertz Global's common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, Hertz Global's common stock will remain registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result of the suspension and expected delisting, Hertz Global's common stock began trading exclusively on the over-the-counter market on October 30, 2020 under the symbol HTZGQ. Delisting our common stock may adversely impact its liquidity, impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital, and the market price of our common stock could decrease. Delisting our common stock could also adversely impact the perception of our financial condition and have additional negative ramifications, including further loss of confidence by our employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business opportunities.
We may not be able to raise additional capital to meet our liquidity needs, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on October 29, 2020. For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company expects that proceeds of the DIP Credit Agreement, together with cash on hand, cash flow from operations and payments received from special purpose subsidiaries and vehicle financings, if any, will be the Company’s primary source of capital to fund ongoing operations and other capital needs and that it will have limited, if any, access to additional corporate financing (which does not include vehicle financings). In the event that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, payments received from special purpose subsidiaries and vehicle financings, and availability under the DIP Credit Agreement are not sufficient to meet these liquidity needs, the Company may be required to seek additional financing, and can provide no assurance that additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms. The amount of any such additional financing also could be limited by negative covenants in the DIP Credit Agreement, which include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and create liens on assets. Further, the DIP Credit Agreement contains numerous events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to any applicable cure period set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, the agent and/or lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement may seek to exercise rights and remedies, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company and its Chapter 11 Cases.
In addition, on November 5, 2020, Hertz Global issued a press release announcing that it secured commitments for fleet financing (the “Fleet Financing”) totaling $4 billion and the Company has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval for the Company to enter into the documentation for the Fleet Financing. If approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company expects to have access to up to $5 billion in total funding to support its fleet
79
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
financing needs, comprised of the Fleet Financing, together with the up to $1 billion of the Company’s debtor-in-possession financing that may be used for equity in the fleet financing subsidiary. In the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the Fleet Financing motion, the Company may be required to seek additional financing to meet its fleet financing needs, and can provide no assurance that additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms.
Prosecution of the Chapter 11 Cases has consumed and will continue to consume a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may face increased levels of employee attrition.
While the Chapter 11 Cases continue, our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the cases. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Chapter 11 Cases are protracted. During the Chapter 11 Cases, our employees will face considerable distraction and uncertainty and we experienced increased levels of employee attrition. In 2020, we were unable to obtain approval for an incentive plan to incentivize our senior management team, which may continue to cause us to lose senior personnel. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to meet customer expectations, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations. The failure to retain or attract members of our management team and other key personnel could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to negotiate and confirm a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, we could be required to liquidate under chapter 7 (“Chapter 7”) of the Bankruptcy Code in which case our common stock would likely be worthless.
We have not yet negotiated a plan of reorganization with our creditors. If we are unable to negotiate a plan of reorganization that will result in our remaining a going concern, upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may convert the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under Chapter 7. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution to creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of our common stock would likely lose their entire investment in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Our post-bankruptcy capital structure is yet to be determined, and any changes to our capital structure may have a material adverse effect on existing debt and security holders.
Our post-bankruptcy capital structure has yet to be determined and will be set pursuant to a plan that requires Bankruptcy Court approval. The reorganization of our capital structure may include exchanges of new debt or equity securities for our existing debt, equity securities, and claims against us. Such new debt may be issued at different interest rates, payment schedules and maturities than our existing debt securities. Existing equity securities are subject to a high risk of being cancelled. The success of a reorganization through any such exchanges or modifications will depend on approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the willingness of existing debt and security holders to agree to the exchange or modification, subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and there can be no guarantee of success. If such exchanges or modifications are successful, holders of our debt or of claims against us may find their holdings no longer have any value or are materially reduced in value, or they may be converted to equity and be diluted or may be modified or replaced by debt with a principal amount that is less than the outstanding principal amount, longer maturities and reduced interest rates. Holders of our common stock may also find that their holdings no longer have any value and face highly uncertain or no recoveries under a plan. There can be no assurance that any new debt or equity securities will maintain their value at the time of issuance. If existing debt or equity holders are adversely affected by a reorganization, it may adversely affect our ability to issue new debt or equity in the future. Although we cannot predict how the claims and interests of stakeholders in the Chapter 11 Cases, including holders of common stock, will ultimately be resolved, we expect that common stock holders will not receive a recovery through any plan unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness (which is currently trading at a significant discount), are paid in full.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
Consequently, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock would receive no recovery under the Chapter 11 Cases and that our common stock will be worthless.
Any Chapter 11 plan that we may implement will likely be based in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions and analyses prove to be incorrect, or adverse market conditions persist or worsen, our plan may be unsuccessful in its execution.
Any Chapter 11 plan that we may implement will affect both our capital structure and the ownership, structure and operation of our remaining businesses and will likely reflect assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we consider appropriate under the circumstances. Whether actual future results and developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) our ability to substantially change our capital structure; and (ii) the overall strength and stability of general economic conditions, both in the U.S. and in global markets. The failure of any of these factors could materially adversely affect the successful reorganization of our businesses.
In addition, any plan of reorganization will likely rely upon financial projections, including with respect to revenues, consolidated adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures, debt service and cash flow. Financial forecasts are necessarily speculative, and it is likely that one or more of the assumptions and estimates that are the basis of these financial forecasts will not be accurate. In our case, the forecasts will be even more speculative than normal, because they may involve fundamental changes in the nature of our capital structure. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel industry in general, and on us, make it even more challenging than usual to develop forecasts on business. Accordingly, we expect that our actual financial condition and results of operations will differ, perhaps materially, from what we have anticipated. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results or developments contemplated by any plan of reorganization we may implement will occur or, even if they do occur, that they will have the anticipated effects on us and our subsidiaries or our businesses or operations. The failure of any such results or developments to materialize as anticipated could materially adversely affect the successful implementation of any plan of reorganization.
We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Chapter 11 cases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation. With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization and (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the plan of reorganization. Any claims not ultimately discharged through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization could be asserted against the reorganized entities and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.
Operating in bankruptcy for a long period of time may harm our business.
A long period of operations in the Chapter 11 Cases under Bankruptcy Court protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. So long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, senior management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on business operations. A prolonged period of operating under Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success of our business. In addition, the longer the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that customers and suppliers will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and will seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.
So long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, we will be required to incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, including potentially the cost of
81

(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
litigation. In general, litigation can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against. Such litigation could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect our financial results. It is also possible that certain parties will commence litigation with respect to the treatment of their claims under a plan. It is not possible to predict the potential litigation that we may become party to, nor the final resolution of such litigation. The impact of any such litigation on our business and financial stability, however, could be material.
Should the Chapter 11 Cases be protracted, we may also need to seek new financing to fund operations. If we are unable to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all, the chances of confirming a Chapter 11 plan may be seriously jeopardized and the likelihood that we will instead be required to liquidate our assets may increase.
There is no certainty as to amount of vehicle lease payments we will be required to make during the pendency of the bankruptcy case.
We leased the bulk of our vehicles used in our United States rental car operations under the Operating Lease. The Operating Lease requires material monthly rental payments for the use of the vehicles, and those rental payments may vary significantly under the terms of the Operating Lease. Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we failed to make the April 2020 rent payment under the Operating Lease, and the lessor has a Pre-petition claim for the unpaid April rent. In addition, under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, we were not required to make, and did do not make, the May and June 2020 rent payments. Ultimately, the lessor will have the right to seek an administrative claim against us for an amount that the Bankruptcy Court determines to be equal to the actual and necessary benefit to us for the use of the vehicles during this period. We cannot predict the amount of such claim.
On June 11, 2020, we filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to reject the leases of approximately 144,000 cars under the Operating Lease (the “Rejection Motion”). On July 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Order”) that contained an interim settlement and agreement to suspend litigation relating to the Rejection Motion until January 15, 2021, as well as other issues related to the Operating Lease.
The Order provides that:
•THC in its capacity as servicer, shall dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, inclusive. The proceeds of the dispositions, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the order, will be used to repay debt incurred under THC’s asset backed finance facility (the “ABS”);
•THC, in its capacity as lessee, will pay in cash a total of $650 million of rent in equal monthly installments from July to December, which rent will result in additional principal payments on the ABS;
•Interest payments on the debt incurred under the ABS will be funded from draws on certain existing letters of credit, which are reimbursable by the Debtors;
•The Debtors will pay certain reasonable and documented fees and expenses of advisors to the ABS creditors (including the agent and trustee), as well as additional fees to the agent under the ABS; and
•Litigation relating to the Operating Lease pursuant to which the debtors lease vehicles under the ABS will be suspended and all parties reserve all rights with respect to future litigation claims.
There is no assurance that we will come to further agreement with the ABS lenders and, consequently, there is no certainty as to amount of vehicle lease payments we will be required to make during the pendency of the bankruptcy case.
Our ability to use certain of our tax assets may have been limited or may be limited in the future.
On May 26, 2020, entities affiliated with Carl Icahn filed a Schedule 13D/A indicating that they sold approximately 38.90% of our outstanding stock. Although we are still analyzing the impact of this sale, we believe that such sale resulted in an “ownership change” under Section 382 of the federal income tax rules. An “ownership change” could significantly limit our ability to utilize tax attributes, including net operating losses, capital loss carryovers, excess foreign tax carry forwards, and credit carryforwards, to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities. An entity that experiences an “ownership change” generally should be subject to an annual limitation on its pre-ownership change

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
tax loss carryforward equal to the equity value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term, tax-exempt rate posted monthly by the IRS (subject to certain adjustments). The annual limitation accumulates each year to the extent that there is any unused limitation from a prior year. The limitations under Section 382 should not limit our ability to use such tax attributes to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities. Nonetheless, our potential limitations on our ability to use such tax attributes is uncertain. If we experience a subsequent ownership change, however, it is possible that a significant portion of our tax attributes will expire before we would be able to use them to offset future taxable income. Many states adopt the federal Section 382 rules and therefore have similar limitations with respect to state tax attributes.
Our Chapter 11 Cases and financial condition may adversely impact our non-U.S. businesses and affiliates, which may themselves become subject to Chapter 11 Cases or other insolvency proceedings.
We have significant businesses and affiliates that are located outside of the United States. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases may result in negative consequences to our businesses outside of the United States.
As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2020, and May 27, 2020, Hertz Netherlands and certain direct and indirect subsidiary companies located outside of the United States and Canada (the “International Subsidiaries”) entered into certain limited waiver agreements in respect of (i) the Issuer Facility Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2018, between, among others, International Fleet Financing No.2 B.V. as issuer, Hertz Europe Limited as issuer administrator, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as administrative agent and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited as issuer security trustee, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time (the “European ABS Waiver”) and (ii) the Vehicle Funding Facilities Agreement dated February 7, 2013 (as amended and restated from time to time) between Hertz (U.K.) Limited, Hertz Vehicle Financing U.K. Limited and Lombard North Central Plc, (the “UK Vehicle Financing Wavier”, and together with the European ABS Waiver, the “Waivers”) pursuant to which the Waiving Parties (as defined therein) agreed to waive any default or event of default that could have resulted from the Chapter 11 cases. The Waivers were originally scheduled to expire on September 30, 2020 or, if sooner, the date on which Hertz Netherlands or certain other International Subsidiaries that are party to the Waivers failed to comply with certain agreements contained therein. Effective October 1, 2020 the Waivers were extended and are now scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020 or, if sooner, the date on which Hertz Netherlands or certain other International Subsidiaries that are party to the Waivers fail to comply with certain agreements contained therein, or do not reach agreement with their creditors as to the terms of a restructuring by October 30, 2020. The extension to the waivers was conditioned on the waiver on similar terms of the €225,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2021 and the €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2023, which was obtained on September 30, 2020 and is in effect and Hertz Netherlands and the International Subsidiaries continue not to be included in the Chapter 11 cases.
There can be no assurance that the International Subsidiaries will not in the future become or be deemed to be insolvent or otherwise need to reorganize their debt, either through the Chapter 11 proceedings or proceedings in other jurisdictions. Any such insolvency, reorganization or proceedings could have additional negative consequences with respect to our global operations and could materially and adversely affect the successful execution of any reorganization of us and our subsidiaries. Furthermore, even if additional waivers are granted or the International Subsidiaries do not otherwise file Chapter 11 or other insolvency, reorganization, or other proceedings, the Chapter 11 Cases may result in negative consequences to such businesses and affiliates.
The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak have been and continue to be disruptive to our vehicle rental business and will likely continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve and we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length or severity of the effects of COVID-19. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to adversely impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, such as the following: the ultimate severity of the disease; the duration of the outbreak or future outbreaks; travel restrictions imposed by governments or businesses

(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
in the markets in which we operate; the duration and scope of business closures or business disruptions; changes in customer travel preferences and demand; the impact of increasing unemployment on discretionary spending; the length of time it takes for rental pricing and volume and normal economic conditions to return; technology disruptions; our relationships with vehicle manufacturers; our liquidity position; the development of effective vaccines or treatments; and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the disease and future outbreaks. The impacts of COVID-19 could include those areas described below:
•Changes in our revenues, profitability and customer demand: Our revenues and profitability have been negatively impacted during the first nine months of 2020 and we expect this to continue for the remainder of the 2020 fiscal year. We have experienced a high level of rental cancellations and a significant decline in forward bookings due to the decreased customer demand and other economic factors. Historically, we have generated a majority of our rental revenues from on-airport locations, which makes our rental car business sensitive to any decreases in air travel. Although we believe that renting a vehicle will continue to be a safe alternative and we have implemented certain procedures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, we cannot predict when or if customer demand will return to levels before the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Changes to our liquidity: We incur ongoing costs, which we cannot reduce in line with the significant reduction in revenues we have experienced from the COVID-19 outbreak. Such costs include our monthly fleet rental costs under our Operating Lease, facility rentals and concessions, debt service and labor costs. These costs require significant liquidity generated by operations or access to additional financing. If COVID-19 continues to have a significant negative impact on our cash flow from operations and we cannot access the capital markets, we may not be able to generate sufficient liquidity to cover our costs.
•Our peak season: The second and third quarters of the year have historically been the strongest quarters for our vehicle rental business due to increased levels of leisure travel. COVID-19 has disrupted our business in the second and third quarters and we expect that it will continue to disrupt our business. These disruptions have significantly impacted our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
•Our fleet: In response to reduced demand due to COVID-19, we began adjusting fleet levels, leveraging our multiple used-vehicle channels, and negotiating with suppliers to reduce fleet commitments in the first nine months of 2020. We have initiated efforts to reduce our fleet size, and the related cost base, to be in line with our reduced operating results. We may also experience a decline in vehicle values which could increase the monthly payments under the Operating Lease.
•Our workforce: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to furlough approximately 20,000 employees worldwide and we have terminated approximately 11,000 employees in our U.S. RAC segment and U.S. corporate operations, the majority of which were previously furloughed, in an effort to reduce our operating costs. This reduction in our operating costs related to our employees could create risks, including but not limited to, our ability to manage the size of our workforce given uncertain future economic conditions and the ability to operate locations in affected jurisdictions. Additionally, we may incur additional costs as a result of workforce reductions or suffer from employee morale issues. We may also be unable to timely respond to a business recovery due to reductions in our workforce already enacted.
We do not expect our business to improve until customer demand increases and the global economy improves. To the extent that the COVID-19 outbreak continues to adversely affect our business, financial performance, liquidity and cash flows, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
If our business does not recover quickly and we are unable to successfully restructure our substantial indebtedness, obtain further waivers or forbearance or raise additional capital, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
As a result of the adverse impact from COVID-19 and the uncertainty about the timing and strength of recovery in our markets, Hertz did not make certain payments in accordance with the Operating Lease, pursuant to which Hertz leases vehicles used in its U.S. rental car operations. As a result of the failure to make the full rent payments on April 27th, as of May 5, 2020 an amortization event was in effect for all series of notes issued by HVF II and a liquidation event was in effect with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes issued by HVF II. As a result of the amortization event, and notwithstanding the forbearance agreement described below, proceeds of the sales of vehicles that collateralize the notes issued by HVF II must be applied to the payment of principal and interest under those notes and will not be available to finance new vehicle acquisitions for Hertz. A liquidation event means that, unless the affected noteholders otherwise agree, the affected noteholders can direct the liquidation of vehicles serving as collateral for their notes.
On May 4, 2020, prior to the occurrence of the liquidation event with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes, Hertz, HVF, HVF II and DTG Operations, Inc. entered into the Forbearance Agreement with the VFN Noteholders. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement that is effective against all VFN Noteholders, the VFN Noteholders agreed to forbear from exercising their liquidation remedies. The agreement with the VFN Noteholders expired on May 22, 2020. Concurrently with entering into the Forbearance Agreement, on May 4, 2020, Hertz entered into the Waiver Agreements with certain of the Lenders under its Facilities. Pursuant to the Waiver Agreements, the Lenders agreed to waive any default or event of default that could have resulted from the above referenced missed payment under the Operating Lease, waive certain defaults or events of default and extend the grace period to cure a default with respect to Hertz’s obligation to reimburse drawings that occurred under certain letters of credit during the waiver period. The Waiver Agreements expired on May 22, 2020.
In connection with the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement and the Waiver Agreements and the continuing economic impact from COVID-19, on the Petition Date, the Debtors filed voluntary Petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court approved motions filed by the Debtors that were designed primarily to mitigate the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s operations, customers and employees. The Debtors are authorized to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, and pursuant to orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors are authorized to, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, (i) pay employees’ wages and related obligations; (ii) pay certain taxes; (iii) pay critical vendors and certain fees to airport authorities; (iv) continue to maintain certain customer programs; (v) maintain their insurance program; (vi) use cash collateral on an interim basis; and (vii) continue their cash management system.
As part of its bankruptcy restructuring, Hertz has been and expects to be in discussions with key stakeholders and advisors to develop a financing strategy and structure that better reflects the economic impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and Hertz’s ongoing operating and financing requirements. However, there can be no assurances that Hertz will be able to successfully restructure its substantial indebtedness.
Although the Order from the Bankruptcy Court was helpful to us, if our business does not recover and we cannot reach agreement to restructure our indebtedness, we may not be able to meet our obligations under our debt facilities and may not have sufficient cash flows from operations or liquidity to sustain our operations. In such circumstances, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
An impairment of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could have a material impact to our results of operations.
On an annual basis as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event, we test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis. An impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets

exceed their fair value as determined using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including projected revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. A significant decline in either projected revenues, projected cash flows or the weighted average cost of capital used to determine fair value could result in a material impairment charge.
We have experienced an amortization event under our vehicle debt financing instruments.
As a result of the amortization event, proceeds of the sales of vehicles that collateralize the HVF II U.S. ABS Program and the medium term notes must be applied to the payment of principal and interest under the HVF II U.S. ABS Program and will not be available to finance new vehicle acquisitions. Currently, we cannot use any cash in the HVF II U.S. ABS Program to purchase new vehicles for our fleet. Although we anticipate that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not need to acquire additional fleet through the remainder of 2020, if our business recovers, we will ultimately need to finance new vehicle acquisitions, but we may not be able to utilize the HVF II U.S. ABS Program for that purpose and would need to finance such new vehicle acquisitions through alternative means.
Other than the items listed above, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
