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. On May 22, 2020, as a result of the impact from the COVID-19 global pandemic, Hertz Global, Hertz and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the U.S. and Canada (the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On June 10, 2021, a plan of reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and on June 30, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
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. The Company also sells vehicles through Hertz Car Sales and operates the Firefly vehicle rental brand and Hertz 24/7 car sharing business in international markets. As disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," on March 30, 2021 the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its Donlen subsidiary (the "Donlen Sale"), a business which provided vehicle leasing and fleet management services.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 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. The Company's vehicle rental operations are typically a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months for the majority of countries where the Company generates revenues.
Certain charges related to the Chapter 11 Cases were recorded as reorganization items, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations. See Note 15, "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, 2021 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, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 23, 2022.
In connection with the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and how the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, the Company modified its reportable segments during the second quarter of 2021, as disclosed in Note 14, "Segment Information." Additionally, beginning in second quarter 2021, non-vehicle depreciation expense is reported on a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with 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.

In March 2022, Hertz U.K. Limited amended the U.K. Toyota Financing Facility to increase aggregate maximum borrowings from £10 million to £25 million and extended the maturity to October 2022.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's revolving credit facilities, which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow based revolving credit facilities, asset-based revolving credit facilities and the First Lien RCF. 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 and, in the case of the First Lien RCF, less any issued standby letters of credit. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing

Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2022, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $585 million comprised primarily of $232 million issued under the Term C Loan and $337 million were issued under the First Lien RCF. As of March 31, 2022, there remains $13 million of capacity to issue letters of credit under the Term C Loan. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support the Company's insurance programs and to provide credit enhancement for the Company's asset-backed securitization facilities, as well as to support the Company's vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds. As of March 31, 2022, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon.
Pledges Related to Vehicle Financing
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 or asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC and various other domestic and 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 under the European ABS 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, IFF No. 2 had total assets of $706 million and $734 million, respectively, comprised primarily of intercompany receivables, and total liabilities of $706 million and $733 million, respectively, comprised primarily of debt.

Covenant Compliance
The First Lien Credit Agreement requires Hertz to comply with the following financial covenant: a First Lien Ratio of less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.50 to 1.00 in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. The financial covenant disclosed above was effective beginning in the third quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, Hertz was in compliance with the First Lien Ratio.
In addition to financial covenants, the First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and compliance certificates, conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and the granting of security interest for the benefit of the secured parties under that agreement on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions and restricted payments. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Note 7—Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
Hertz Global
The effective tax rate is 23% and 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Hertz Global recorded a tax provision of $130 million and $79 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the tax provision for three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the 2021 period is driven primarily by improvements in Hertz Global's financial performance and changes in the mix of earnings and losses for jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $670 million gross, or $141 million U.S. federal tax effected, of capital loss carryforward relating to a European restructuring for which a full valuation allowance is recorded. The Company filed a request for a pre-filing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in December 2021, to determine whether the capital loss on European restructuring qualifies as an ordinary loss. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company received notice from the IRS of its acceptance of this request. A favorable outcome from this proceeding could result in a full or partial release of the valuation allowance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 145,190 Public Warrants were exercised of which 33,427 were cashless exercises and 111,763 were exercised for $13.80 per share. As of March 31, 2022, a cumulative 6,185,470 Public Warrants have been exercised since their original issuance in June 2021. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements."
Share Repurchase Program for Common Stock
In November 2021, Hertz Global's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock. Between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022, a total of 34,964,965 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $20.65 resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $722 million. These amounts are included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. Hertz Global funded the share repurchases with available cash and dividend distributions from Hertz.
Between April 1, 2022 and April 21, 2022, a total of 3,159,382 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $22.16 resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $70 million, resulting in a total of 55,230,373 shares of Hertz Global's common stock repurchased for a total of $1.2 billion since the inception of the program.
Computation of Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including Public Warrants, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding included the dilutive impact of Public Warrants where the Company assumed share settlement of the Public Warrants as of the beginning of the reporting period. Additionally, the Company removes the change in fair value of Public Warrants when computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share, when the impact of Public Warrants is dilutive.

Deferred Stock Units
As of March 31, 2022, there were approximately 35,000 outstanding shares of deferred stock units under the 2021 Omnibus Plan.
Note 10—Financial Instruments
The Company employs established risk management policies and procedures, and, under the terms of our ABS facilities, may be required to enter into interest rate derivatives, which seek to reduce the Company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the Company contracts with multiple counterparties to mitigate concentrations of risk and the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will always be effective. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Company’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party generally has the right, but not the obligation, to set-off any early termination amounts under any such agreements against any other amounts owed with regard to any other agreements between the parties to each such agreement.
None of the Company's financial instruments have been designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses a combination of interest rate caps and swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and to manage its mix of floating and fixed-rate debt.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company uses foreign currency exchange rate derivative financial instruments to manage it currency exposure resulting from intercompany transactions and other cross currency obligations.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements
Under U.S. GAAP, entities are allowed to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its assets or liabilities that meet the criteria for this option. Irrespective of the fair value option previously described, U.S. GAAP requires certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company to be measured on either a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis.
Fair Value Disclosures
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.
Debt Obligations
The fair value of the debt facilities is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (i.e. Level 2 inputs).

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in money market funds and bank money market and interest-bearing accounts.

Note 12—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
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. The related liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's liability recorded for self-insured liabilities is $468 million and $463 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, former employees and governmental investigations. The Company has summarized below the material legal proceedings to which the Company was a party during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or the period after March 31, 2022, but before the filing of this Quarterly Report.
Make-Whole and Post-Petition Interest Claims - On July 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as indenture trustee of (1) 6.250% Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), (2) 5.500% Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), (3) 7.125% Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), and (4) 6.000% Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") issued by The Hertz Corporation (collectively, the “Notes”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Donlen Corporation, DTG Operations, Inc., DTG Supply, LLC, Firefly Rent A Car LLC, Hertz Car Sales LLC, Hertz Global Services Corporation, Hertz Local Edition Corp., Hertz Local Edition Transporting, Inc., Hertz System, Inc., Hertz Technologies, Inc., Hertz Transporting, Inc., Rental Car Group Company, LLC, Smartz Vehicle Rental Corporation, Thrifty Car Sales, Inc., Thrifty, LLC, Thrifty

Insurance Agency, Inc., Thrifty Rent A Car System, LLC, and TRAC Asia Pacific, Inc. (collectively referred to in this summary as “Defendants”). The filing of the Complaint initiated the adversary proceeding captioned Wells Fargo Bank, National Association v. The Hertz Corporation, et al. pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Adv. Pro. No. 21-50995 (MFW). The Complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the holders of the Unsecured Notes are entitled to payment of certain redemption premiums and post-petition interest that they assert total $271,684,720 plus interest at the contractual default rate or in the alternative are entitled to payment post-petition interest at the applicable contractual rate that they assert totals $124,512,653 plus interest at the New York statutory rate. On July 2, 2021, Defendants were summoned to file a motion or answer to the Complaint within 30 days. On August 2, 2021, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss both counts for declaratory judgment, which was argued before Judge Walrath on November 9, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed Wells Fargo’s claims with respect to (i) the redemption premium allegedly owed on the 2022 and 2024 Notes and (ii) post-petition interest at the contract rate. As a result, only Wells Fargo’s claims for a redemption premium with respect to the 2026 and 2028 Senior Notes now remain. Additionally, note holders that elected to participate in the rights offering held in June 2021 (the "2021 Rights Offering") waived their right to collect on the make whole premium. Therefore, since some of the 2026 and 2028 note holders elected to participate in the 2021 Rights Offering, the total amount which may be owed with respect to the asserted make whole premium for those series of notes will be reduced further. The Defendants dispute that any such amounts are owed and intend to respond and otherwise vigorously defend claims set forth therein. The Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of this litigation.
There is a potential that the Bankruptcy Court's decision could be appealed and overturned. In that instance, some creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases may assert that the Company owes additional interest and, in certain cases, additional make whole or other premiums. These claims could be material. The Company retains all rights with respect to any such asserted amounts and intends to vigorously defend against any such asserted claims. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the litigation regarding the validity or, if deemed valid, the amount of any such additional asserted interest and make whole claims and as such, the Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of any such litigation.
The Company maintains an internal compliance program through which it from time to time identifies potential violations of laws and regulations applicable to the Company. When the Company identifies such matters, the Company conducts an internal investigation and otherwise cooperates with governmental authorities, as appropriate.
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 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 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 Company's 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 the U.S. District Court for the District of 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. 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 was held on November 30, 2020. The mediation was unsuccessful, but settlement discussions continued and, on April 14, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Settlement Agreement between the Company and Scott Sider. The Florida action is now closed. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Jeff Zimmerman, leaving Mark Frissora as the sole remaining defendant in this litigation. Fact discovery has now been completed in the New Jersey action and the case will proceed to the pre-trial phase of experts’ reports and experts’ depositions. 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.
Claims Relating to Alleged False Arrests - As a large company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, inquiries, and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. One series of claims involves claimants seeking monetary damages from the Company in connection with allegations that police detained or arrested them in error after the Company reported their rental cars as stolen. The claims arise from activities alleged to have occurred prior to the Company’s emergence from its bankruptcy reorganization. The overwhelming majority of these cases involve vehicles that were not returned to the Company within a reasonable time period following their contracted return date. These claims have been the subject of press coverage and the Company has received inquiries on the matter from certain elected officials. The Company will continue to defend itself as appropriate and has established policies to help ensure proper treatment of its customers as well as to prosecute those involved in the theft of services or assets of the Company. We currently believe that the eventual outcome of these claims will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
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, 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 13—Related Party Transactions
Transactions and Agreements between Hertz Holdings and Hertz
In May 2021, upon expiration of a loan originated in May 2020 with Hertz Holdings, Hertz entered into a new master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $25 million with an expiration in May 2022 (the "2021 Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance under the 2021 Master Loan. As of March 31, 2022, there is no outstanding balance under the 2021 Master Loan.
767 Auto Leasing LLC
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 a related party until May 2020, the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 767 distributed $10 million to American Entertainment Properties Corp. along with the return of certain vehicles. The 767 Lease Agreement was terminated effective October 31, 2021. Prior to the termination of the 767 Lease Agreement, the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of 767 due to its power to direct the activities of 767 that most significantly impacted 767's economic performance and the Company's obligation to absorb 25% of 767's gains/losses and, accordingly, 767 was consolidated by the Company as a VIE.
Note 14—Segment Information
The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the financial information for the Company’s reportable segments. In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the emergence from Chapter 11 and changes in how the Company's CODM regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, the Company revised its reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in its Americas RAC reportable segment, which were previously included in its International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments and organized based on the products and services provided and the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
•Americas RAC – rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean; and
•International RAC – rental and leasing of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services internationally and consists primarily of the Company's Europe and other international locations.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the Donlen Sale, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," the All Other Operations reportable segment, which consisted primarily of the Company's former Donlen business, was no longer deemed a reportable segment.
In addition to its reportable segments and other operating activities, 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. is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation. 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 otherwise 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.
The statements in this MD&A regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The following MD&A provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2021 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 March 31, 2022 (this "Quarterly 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 investors 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.
•Vehicle Utilization – Effective in the first quarter of 2022, in connection with the appointment of the new CEO (who serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker) and arising from significantly increased activity in vehicle dispositions, we began using Average Rentable Vehicles in the denominator in our calculation of Vehicle Utilization. Vehicle Utilization is calculated by dividing total Transaction Days by Available Car Days. Available Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period. Average Rentable Vehicles excludes vehicles for sale on our retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. We believe this is a better measure of the productivity of our rental fleet as it is unaffected by fluctuations in disposition activity. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition.
34
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
•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. Effective in the third quarter of 2021, we revised our calculation of Total RPD to include ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues to better align with current industry practice, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition.
•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 number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased ("Average Rentable Vehicles"). Effective in the third quarter of 2021, we revised our calculation of Total RPU to include ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues to better align with current industry practice and effective in the first quarter of 2022, we revised to use Average Rentable Vehicles as the denominator in our calculation of Total RPU. Average Rentable Vehicles excludes vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. We believe this is a better measure of the productivity of our rental fleet as it is unaffected by fluctuations in disposition activity. There has been no change to revenue as used in the numerator of the calculation which includes vehicle rental and rental related revenues, licensee revenue and ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue. Prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition.
•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.
Our non-GAAP measure and key metrics 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.
OUR COMPANY
Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns Hertz, 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.
We operate our vehicle rental business globally from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We also sell vehicles through Hertz Car Sales and operate the Firefly vehicle rental brand and Hertz 24/7 car sharing business in international markets. Previously, in addition to vehicle rental, we provided integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary, which was sold on March 30, 2021.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business Environment
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, affecting multiple global regions. In an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, many governments around the world placed significant restrictions on travel. Beginning in the second half of 2021, and continuing into 2022, many government-imposed restrictions have been lifted or eased, and travel, particularly domestic leisure travel, has experienced a strong rebound. However, there remains continued uncertainty about the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants.
Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy and Emergence
On May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Court. On June 10, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and on June 30, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
Our Business
We are engaged principally in the business of renting vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. 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. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions, including residual values. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and as such, we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures.
Our strategy is focused on excellence in execution of our rental operations, electrification of the fleet, shared mobility, connected cars and exiting vehicles from the fleet directly to consumers. Our revenues are primarily derived from rental and related charges and consist of worldwide vehicle rental revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations and 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).
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, net relating to revenue earning vehicles, including gains and losses and related costs associated with the disposal of vehicles;
•Depreciation and amortization expense relating to non-vehicle assets;
•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; and
•Interest expense, net.
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 increase our available fleet and staff. As demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including
36
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. 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, and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for demand.
Our Reportable Segments
In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, and changes in how our CODM regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, we revised our reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in our Americas RAC reportable segment, which were previously included in our International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. We have identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with our operating segments and organized based on the products and services provided and the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
•Americas RAC – Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean; and
•International RAC – Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, internationally and consists primarily of our Europe and other international locations.
Also, in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the Donlen Sale, the All Other Operations reportable segment, which was primarily comprised of the Donlen business, was no longer deemed to be a reportable segment.
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.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Operating Overview
Effective in the first quarter of 2022, we began using Average Rentable Vehicles in the denominator in our calculation of Vehicle Utilization and Total RPU. Average Rentable Vehicles excludes vehicles for sale on our retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. We believe this is a better measure of the productivity of our rental fleet as it is unaffected by fluctuations in disposition activity. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to reflect this change. Effective during the third quarter of 2021, we changed our definition of Total RPD and Total RPU to include ancillary retail sales revenues to better align with current industry practice, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definitions. Effective during the second quarter of 2021, we began reporting non-vehicle depreciation expense on a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The continued uncertainty of the duration and impact 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
Our principal assets are revenue earning vehicles, which represent approximately 58% of our total assets as of March 31, 2022. As a result of a semiconductor microchip manufacturing shortage and associated impacts to residual values, changes in these variables could cause a material change in our estimates regarding depreciation expense.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Total revenues increased $522 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to increased travel demand resulting from the easing of government-imposed travel restrictions, where there was an increase of $591 million and $67 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $136 million in All other operations. Americas RAC revenues increased due primarily to higher volume and pricing. Excluding a $17 million fx impact, revenues for our International RAC segment increased $83 million due primarily to higher pricing and volume. All other operations decreased due to the Donlen Sale in the first quarter of 2021.

DOE increased $275 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to an increase of $262 million and $26 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. DOE in our Americas RAC segment increased due primarily to higher volume driven by increased travel demand. Excluding a $10 million fx impact, DOE in our International RAC segment increased $37 million due primarily to higher volume driven by the increased travel demand discussed above.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net decreased $302 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to a decrease of $303 million in our Americas RAC segment. The decrease in our Americas RAC segment was due primarily to strength in residual values and longer vehicle holding periods resulting in an increase in vehicles that were fully depreciated and an increase in gains recognized on the disposition of vehicles.
Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization decreased $21 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to lower depreciation expense resulting from fully depreciated intangible assets related to concession rights in our Americas RAC segment.
SG&A increased $84 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to bankruptcy claims and non-cash stock-based compensation costs in Corporate, increased advertising spend in our Americas RAC segment and increased facility costs in our International RAC segment, partly offset by decreased personnel costs.
Vehicle interest expense, net decreased $99 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to lower average rates from the issuance of HVF III ABS Notes and the payoff and termination of HVF II debt in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization in 2021 and $44 million of unrealized gains on interest rate caps on the HVF III ABS Notes primarily in our Americas RAC segment.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $4 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to lower average interest rates partially offset by higher debt levels.
In the first quarter of 2021, we incurred $42 million of net reorganization charges in our corporate operations primarily for professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.
The effective tax rate was 26% and 29% in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and we recorded a tax provision of $130 million and $79 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in our tax provision was driven by improvements in our financial performance and changes in the mix of earnings and losses for jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – HERTZ GLOBAL

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Total Americas RAC revenues increased $591 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to higher pricing and volume. The increase in Total RPD was due primarily to higher pricing across the industry resulting from increased travel demand and industry-wide constraints on vehicles due to the Chip Shortage continuing to affect new vehicle production during the first quarter of 2022. The increase in Transaction Days was driven by volume increases across most leisure and business categories as government-imposed travel restrictions continued to be lifted. Airport revenues comprised 71% of total revenues for the segment in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 63% in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to the continued lifting of air travel restrictions discussed above.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for Americas RAC decreased $303 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021. Depreciation Per Unit Per Month changed to a negative expense of $78 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $233 in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to strength in residual values and longer vehicle holding periods resulting in an increase in vehicles that were fully depreciated and an increase in gains recognized on the disposition of vehicles. Average Vehicles increased compared to 2021 due in part to longer vehicle holding periods.
DOE for Americas RAC increased $262 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to higher volume driven by the increased travel demand discussed above and increased vehicle maintenance costs due

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements, both debt and equity, maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $601 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022, $408 million of cash and cash equivalents and $86 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. We do not assert permanent reinvestment 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.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and obligations for the next twelve months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash flows from operating activities increased by $421 million period over period due primarily to a $262 million change in net income attributable to Hertz, as adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items, and a $159 million change in working capital accounts. Cash flows from working capital accounts increased due primarily to the reduction of reorganization items and professional fees and the elimination of certain expense prepayment requirements while in Chapter 11, partially offset by the payment of bankruptcy claims in 2022 that had been previously deferred and subject to compromise while in Chapter 11 in 2021.
Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was a $1.5 billion increase in the cash used in investing activities period over period due primarily to $818 million of net proceeds received from the Donlen Sale in 2021 with no comparable in the 2022 period and a $683 million net increase in cash expenditures primarily resulting from the acquisition of vehicles to meet the increased travel demand as government-imposed travel restrictions were lifted.
Net financing cash inflows were $392 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to cash inflows of $692 million in the 2021 period. The decrease in cash inflows was due in part to $767 million of dividends paid to Hertz Holdings to fund share repurchases, partially offset by $474 million of net proceeds primarily related to the issuance of new vehicle debt.

In March 2022, HVF III Series 2022-3 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $383 million. An affiliate of HVF III purchased the Class D Notes, and as a result approximately $50 million of the aggregate principal amount is eliminated in consolidation.
In March 2022, HVF III Series 2022-4 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $667 million. An affiliate of HVF III purchased the Class D Notes, and as a result approximately $87 million of the aggregate principal amount is eliminated in consolidation.
In March 2022, HVF III Series 2022-5 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $364 million. An affiliate of HVF III purchased the Class D Notes, and as a result approximately $47 million of the aggregate principal amount is eliminated in consolidation.
In March 2022, an amendment was made to the First Lien RCF to (i) increase the aggregate committed amount from $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion, (ii) increase the sublimit for letters of credit from $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion and (iii) change the benchmark from USD LIBOR to a SOFR-based rate.
In March 2022, the Series 2021-A Notes were amended to increase the maximum principal amount from $3.0 billion to $3.2 billion.
In March 2022, Hertz U.K. Limited amended the U.K. Toyota Financing Facility to increase aggregate maximum borrowings from £10 million to £25 million and extended the maturity to October 2022.
In April 2022, Hertz New Zealand Holdings Limited, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz, amended its credit agreement to extend the maturity to June 2024.
In April 2022, Hertz U.K. Limited amended the U.K. Financing Facility to provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to £120 million, for a seasonal commitment period through October 2022. Following the expiration of the seasonal commitment period, aggregate maximum borrowings will revert to £100 million. Additionally, the U.K. Financing Facility was amended to extend the maturity of the aggregate maximum borrowings of £100 million to October 2023.
Substantially all of our 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 III LLC and various international subsidiaries that facilitate our international securitizations) will be available to satisfy the claims of unsecured creditors unless the secured creditors are paid in full.
Refer to Note 5, "Debt," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information on our outstanding debt obligations and our borrowing capacity and availability under our revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2022. Cash paid for interest on vehicle debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $39 million and $69 million, respectively. The $30 million decrease in cash paid for vehicle debt interest is due primarily to lower average rates from the issuance of HVF III ABS Notes and the payoff and termination of HVF II debt in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization in 2021. Cash paid for interest on non-vehicle debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $17 million and $30 million, respectively. The $13 million decrease in cash paid for non-vehicle debt interest is due primarily to the payoff and termination of non-vehicle debt in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization in 2021.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, includes certain risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes in those risk factors, except as listed below:
Risks Related to our Business
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Furthermore, governments in the U.S., United Kingdom, and European Union have each imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. Shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw material, as well as uncertainty on overall consumer sentiment and travel demand, especially in Europe, are some of the negative impacts of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy. In particular, shortages and increased costs relating to raw materials extracted from, or components produced in, Russia and/or Ukraine, which are important to the vehicle manufacturing industry including the production of electric vehicle batteries, may impact vehicle production volumes, delivery schedules and costs. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the military conflict, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and further exacerbate supply chain issues in the automotive industry. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our known risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2021 Form 10-K.
