PART IFINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM l. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 25, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or "Hertz Holdings," is our top-level holding company. The Hertz Corporation, or "Hertz," is our primary operating company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Investors, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Hertz Holdings. "We," "us" and "our" mean Hertz Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hertz.
We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Ford Motor Company, or "Ford," acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985. Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 and had no operations prior to the Acquisition (as defined below).
On
December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:
or collectively the "Sponsors," acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of Hertz's common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."
In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the parent company of BAMLCP. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of our common stock held by BAMLCP and certain of its affiliates.
In March 2011, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.
As a result of our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009 and March 2011, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 39% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings.
On September 1, 2011, Hertz completed the acquisition of Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services. See Note 4Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Note 2Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
The significant accounting policies summarized in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on February 25, 2011, or the "Form 10-K," have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The December 31, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP."

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.
In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current reporting.
During the third quarter of 2011, we identified certain errors in our previously issued consolidated financial statements. While these errors did not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material misstatement of the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements, correcting these items in the third quarter would have been material to the third quarter and nine-months ending September 30, 2011 results. Accordingly, management has revised in this filing and will revise in its 2011 Form 10-K and its subsequent quarterly filings on Form 10-Q, its previously reported balance sheets and consolidated statement of operations as noted below. These errors relate to additional telecommunication charges and depreciation of revenue earning equipment, as well as certain corrections to deferred taxes on income for years 2005 through 2010 and the related impact on the 2008 goodwill impairment. We are recording the cumulative effect $(26.9) million of these adjustments for the periods prior to 2008 as a decrease to the previously reported December 31, 2007 Retained earnings of $270.4 million, resulting in revised December 31, 2007 Retained earnings of $243.5 million. These adjustments also resulted in a decrease to revenue earning equipment, net and increases to goodwill, accounts payable and deferred taxes on income as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As such, total assets were revised from the previously reported $17,332.2 million to $17,345.0 million, total liabilities were revised from the previously reported $15,200.9 million to $15,226.5 million and total equity was revised from the previously reported $2,131.3 million to $2,118.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Also, total assets were revised from the previously reported $16,002.4 million to $16,015.1 million, total liabilities were revised from the previously reported $13,905.0 million to $13,929.9 million and total equity was revised from the previously reported $2,097.4 million to $2,087.2 million as of December 31, 2009.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
As previously reported, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we have revised net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows due to a gross-up of cash lease payments relating to our revenue earning equipment in the non-cash add back previously included in depreciation of revenue earning equipment and proceeds from disposal of revenue earning equipment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. These provisions will become effective for us beginning with our quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012. In October 2011, the FASB decided to propose a deferral of the requirement to present reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement, which was also included in this accounting standards update.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment," which gives companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This option is available to us effective immediately for all future goodwill impairment tests.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-09, "Disclosures about an Employer's Participation in a Multiemployer Plan," which require that employers provide additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension plans and multiemployer other postretirement benefit plans. These provisions will become effective for us beginning with our annual report for the period ended December 31, 2011.
Note 3Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
In our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we net cash flows from revolving borrowings in the line item "Proceeds (payments) under the revolving lines of credit, net." The contractual maturities of such borrowings may exceed 90 days in certain cases.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, for our Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $215.6 million and $115.6 million, respectively. The increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with our fleet debt of

$100.0 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 was primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was approximately $17.5 million and $16.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was approximately $51.2 million and $49.0 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of September 30, 2011, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $17.7 million for the remainder of 2011, $72.5 million in 2012, $71.2 million in 2013, $67.9 million in 2014, $66.4 million in 2015 and $19.3 million in 2016.
Donlen Acquisition
On September 1, 2011, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity interest in Donlen, a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services. Donlen provides Hertz an immediate leadership position in

long-term car, truck and equipment leasing and fleet management. This transaction is part of the overall growth strategy of Hertz to provide the most flexible transportation programs for corporate and general consumers. Additionally, Donlen brings to Hertz a specialized consulting and technology expertise that we expect to enable us to better model, measure and manage fleet performance. All goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is reported in the car rental segment.
The Donlen base equity valuation for the transaction was $250.0 million, subject to adjustment based on the net assets of Donlen at closing. The preliminary purchase price adjustment at closing resulted in a downward adjustment of $2.4 million (resulting in a closing cash payment for equity of $247.6 million) and is subject to further adjustment upon finalization of the Donlen closing date balance sheet. None of the goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Donlen's actual earnings for the month of September 2011 was impacted by $0.7 million related to the amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets and the fair value adjustment related to acquired software, as well as, the write-off of certain unamortized debt costs.
2011 supplemental pro forma revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $0.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $0.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting; and $5.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of acquisition related costs incurred in 2011.
2010 supplemental pro forma revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 excludes $2.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2010 supplemental pro forma earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 excludes $1.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting, and includes $5.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of acquisition related costs incurred.
This transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP and operating results of Donlen from the date of acquisition are included in our consolidated statement of operations. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired is preliminary and subject to finalization.
Other Acquisitions
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we added eight international car rental locations and one domestic equipment rental location through external acquisitions. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011.
Note 5Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 28.1% and 37.9%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income was $83.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the benefit for taxes of $3.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized. The provision for taxes on income was $87.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a benefit for taxes of $0.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010,

The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, included a net gain of $26.3 million and a net loss of $7.1 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and a net gain of $4.6 million and a net loss of $3.5 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations. The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, included a net gain of $86.0 million and a net loss of $27.6 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and a net gain of $7.3 million and a net loss of $10.4 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $7.7 million and $16.3 million in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in net decreases of $1.3 million and $3.6 million in depreciation expense.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 46,000 and 44,400 non-program cars, respectively, a 3.6% year over year increase primarily due to higher average number of vehicles in our fleet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 121,700 and 130,900 non-program cars, respectively, a 7.0% year over year decrease primarily due to an increase in rental demand which required us to maintain our fleet size.

Maturities
The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending September 30 (in millions of dollars) are as follows:
2012 | $ | 5,198.9 | (including $4,989.2 of other short-term borrowings) | ||

2014 | $ | 703.0 | |||
2015 | $ | 884.1 | |||
2016 | $ | 1,236.3 | |||
After 2016 | $ | 3,896.0 |
We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.
Our short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2011 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, European Securitization, Australian Securitization, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, U.S. Variable Funding Notes, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility, Canadian Securitization, Capitalized Leases, European Revolving Credit Facility, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Note Facility and European Seasonal Revolving Facility. These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. Short-term borrowings also include the Convertible Senior Notes which became convertible on January 1, 2011 and remained as such through September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 2.8%.

Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2011, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $595.3 million. Of this amount, $541.0 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities ($291.1 million of which was issued for the benefit of the U.S. ABS Program and $45.1 million was related to other debt obligations) and the remainder is primarily to support self-insurance programs (including insurance policies with respect to which we have agreed to indemnify the policy issuers for any losses) as well as airport concession obligations in the United States, Canada and Europe. As of September 30, 2011, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.
2011 Events
On January 1, 2011, our Convertible Senior Notes became convertible. This conversion right was triggered because our closing common stock price per share exceeded $10.77 for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on December 31, 2010. Since this same trigger was met in the periods ending March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Convertible Senior Notes were convertible through September 30, 2011. As of October 1, 2011, the Convertible Senior Notes are no longer convertible but may become convertible thereafter, if one or more of the conversion conditions specified in the indenture is satisfied during future measurement periods. Our policy has been and continues to be to settle conversions of Convertible Senior Notes using a combination of cash and our common stock, which calls for settling the fixed dollar amount per $1,000 in principal amount in cash and settling in shares the excess conversion, if any.
In January 2011, Hertz redeemed in full its outstanding ($518.5 million principal amount) 10.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 which resulted in premiums paid of $27.2 million and the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $8.6 million. In January and February 2011, Hertz redeemed $1,105 million principal amount of its outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in premiums paid of $24.5 million and the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $14.4 million. Hertz used the proceeds from the September 2010 issuance of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Notes, the December 2010 issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Notes and the February 2011 issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes (see below) for these redemptions. Premiums paid are recorded in "Other (income) expense, net" on our consolidated statement of operations.
In February 2011, Hertz issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The 6.75% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the domestic subsidiaries of Hertz that guarantee its Senior Credit Facilities.
In February 2011, Hertz used existing corporate liquidity to pay off the maturing amount of the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility. A foreign subsidiary continues to maintain another facility as a source of financing for our rental car operations in Brazil.
In March 2011, Hertz issued an additional $500 million aggregate principal of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2011 offering were used in April 2011 to redeem $480 million principal amount of Hertz's outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in premiums paid during the three months ended June 30, 2011, of $10.7 million recorded in "Other (income) expense, net" on our consolidated statement of operations and the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $5.8 million.

In March 2011, Hertz refinanced its 2005 Senior Term Facility and 2005 Senior ABL Facility. A description of the new Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility is set forth below. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an expense of $9.3 million in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations associated with the write-off of unamortized debt costs in connection with the refinancing of our 2005 Senior Term Facility and 2005 Senior ABL Facility. Additionally, a portion of the unamortized debt costs associated with the 2005 Senior Term Facility and 2005 Senior ABL Facility are continuing to be amortized over the terms of the new Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility. The determination of whether these costs were expensed or further deferred was dependent upon whether the terms of the old and new instruments were considered to be substantially different. In regards to the Senior Term Facility, the determination as to whether the 2005 Senior Term Facility and the new Senior Term Facility were considered to be substantially different was made on a lender by lender basis using the "net method" which compares the cash flows related to the lowest common principal balance between the old and new instruments.
In March 2011, Hertz entered into a credit agreement that provides a $1,400.0 million secured term loan facility (as amended, the "Senior Term Facility"). In addition, the Senior Term Facility includes a pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior Term Facility allows for the addition of incremental term and/or revolving loans. Hertz used approximately $1,345.0 million of borrowings under the Senior Term Facility to refinance indebtedness under the 2005 Senior Term Facility. We reflected this transaction on a gross basis in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in "Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt" and "Payment of long-term debt." During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded financing costs of $6.6 million in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations associated with the new Senior Term Facility.
In March 2011, Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,800.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Senior ABL Facility"). Up to $1,500.0 million of the Senior ABL Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior ABL Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving and/or term loan commitments. In addition, the Senior ABL Facility permits Hertz to increase the amount of commitments under the Senior ABL with the consent of each lender providing an additional commitment, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
In March 2011, Hertz amended the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from May 2011 to November 2011.
In June 2011, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," a special purpose bankruptcy remote limited liability company of which Hertz is the sole member, closed on $598 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5 year and 5.5 year weighted average life Series 2011-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B.
In June 2011, Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz organized under the laws of The Netherlands, entered into an accordion facility, or the "European Seasonal Revolving Credit Facility," under the European Revolving Credit Facility that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €100 million (the equivalent of $135.4 million as of September 30, 2011), subject to borrowing base availability.

In August 2011, we extended the expected maturity of our European Securitization Facility to July 2013. In connection with the extension, we made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement including increasing the advance rate and decreasing pricing.
In September 2011, we extended the maturity of our U.S. Fleet Financing Facility to September 2015 and increased the facility size to $190.0 million. In connection with the extension, we made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement including decreasing the advance rate and increasing pricing.
On September 1, 2011, in connection with our acquisition of Donlen Corporation, Donlen's GN II Variable Funding Note Facility remained outstanding and lender commitments thereunder were increased to permit aggregate maximum borrowings of $850.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability).
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of exchange and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the separate issuances of the 7.5% Senior Notes due 2018, the 7.375% Senior Notes due 2021 and the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019, Hertz agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. The registration statement was declared effective on August 19, 2011 and the exchange offers were consummated in September 2011.
Guarantees and Security
In September 2011, we added Donlen as a guarantor under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities. There have been no material changes to the guarantees and security provisions of the debt instruments and credit facilities under which our indebtedness as of September 30, 2011 has been issued from the terms as disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Financial Covenant Compliance
Under the new terms of our amended Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility we are subject to a springing financial maintenance covenant upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. As of September 30, 2011, no triggering event had occurred requiring testing of the springing financial maintenance covenant.

Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."
We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.
We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" and "borrowing base availability" 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 we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).
As of September 30, 2011, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.3 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,103.7 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.
Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.
Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we contributed $16.6 million and $73.7 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $0.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively, to our United Kingdom, or "U.K.," defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we contributed $11.2 million and $57.8 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $2.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. Based upon the significant decline in asset values in 2008, which were in line with the overall market declines, it is likely we will continue to make cash contributions in 2011 and possibly in future years.

We sponsored a defined benefit pension plan in the U.K. On June 30, 2011, we approved an agreement with the trustees of that plan to cease all future benefit accruals to existing members and to close the plan to new members. Effective July 1, 2011, we introduced a defined contribution plan with company matching contributions to replace the defined benefit pension plan. The company matching contributions are generally 100% of the employee contributions, up to 8% of pay, except that former members of the defined benefit plan receive an enhanced match for five years. This will result in somewhat lower contributions this year into the defined benefit plan, which will be offset by matching contributions to the new defined contribution plan. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a gain of $13.1 million for the U.K. plan that represented unamortized prior service cost from a 2010 amendment that eliminated discretionary pension increases related to pre-1997 service primarily related to inactive employees.
We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies.
Note 9Stock-Based Compensation
In March 2011, we granted 371,505 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," to certain executives and employees at fair values ranging from $14.60 to $15.02, 499,515 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," at a fair value of $14.60, and 193,798 PSUs at a fair value of $10.19 under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan." For the PSUs, 499,515 have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on the sum of 2011 and 2012 Corporate EBITDA results. The remaining 193,798 PSUs granted contain a market condition whereby the 20 day average trailing stock price must equal or exceed a certain price target at any time during the five year performance period. In May 2011, we granted 130,275 RSUs at a fair value of $16.39. In August 2011, we granted 47,473 RSUs at a fair value of $11.79.
In March 2011, we granted options to acquire 2,108,944 shares of our common stock to certain executives and employees at exercise prices ranging from $14.60 to $15.02 under the Omnibus Plan.

The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.7 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.
Note 10Segment Information
Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction and material handling equipment, or "equipment rental." Other reconciling items include general corporate assets and expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as our third party claim management services. Donlen is included in the car rental reportable segment.
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is the measure utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. We believe this measure best reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus other reconciling items, non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges and certain one-time charges and non-operational items.

Note 12Restructuring
As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we have evaluated our workforce and operations and made adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process reengineering resulting in optimized work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlined our back-office operations and evaluated potential outsourcing opportunities. When we made adjustments to our workforce and operations, we incurred incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increased operating efficiency and reduced costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.
During 2007 through 2010, we announced several initiatives to improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions. These initiatives included, but were not limited to, job reductions at our corporate headquarters and back-office operations in the U.S. and Europe. As part of our re-engineering optimization we outsourced selected functions globally. In addition, we streamlined operations and reduced costs by initiating the closure of targeted car rental locations and equipment rental branches throughout the world. The largest of these closures occurred in 2008 which resulted in closures of approximately 250 off-airport locations and 22 branches in our U.S. equipment rental business. These initiatives impacted approximately 8,500 employees.
During the first quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by approximately 100 employees.
During the second quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of twelve equipment rental locations in the U.S., consolidation of our European headquarters and the reduction in our global workforce by approximately 50 employees.
During the third quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs by reducing our global workforce by approximately 170 employees.
From January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2011, we incurred $514.6 million ($247.0 million for our car rental segment, $213.8 million for our equipment rental segment and $53.8 million of other) of restructuring charges.
Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed, however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Note 13Financial Instruments
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Fair value approximates the amount indicated on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Money market accounts, whose fair value at September 30, 2011, is measured using Level 1 inputs, totaling $45.9 million and $177.6 million are included in "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Restricted cash and cash equivalents," respectively. Money market accounts, whose fair value at December 31, 2010, is measured using Level 1 inputs, totaling $1,747.9 million and $24.1 million are included in "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Restricted cash and cash equivalents," respectively.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities held by us consist of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value and are included within "Prepaid expenses and other assets." Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income." As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of marketable securities was $26.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September, 30, 2011, unrealized losses of $8.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, were recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income." Fair values for marketable securities are based on Level 1 inputs consisting of quoted market prices.
Debt
For borrowings with an initial maturity of 93 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs). The aggregate fair value of all debt at September 30, 2011 was $12,630.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $12,590.9 million. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2010 was $12,063.5 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $11,429.6 million.

In conjunction with the refinanced Series 2009-1 Notes and the Series 2010-2 Notes, HVF purchased an interest rate cap for $6.7 million, with a maximum notional amount equal to the refinanced Series 2009-1 Notes and the Series 2010-2 Notes with a combined maximum principal amount of $2.1 billion, a strike

rate of 5% and expected maturity date of March 25, 2013. Additionally, Hertz sold a 5% interest rate cap for $6.2 million, with a matching notional amount and term to the HVF interest rate cap. Also in December 2010, the Australian Securitization was completed and our Australian operating subsidiary purchased an interest rate cap for $0.5 million, with a maximum notional amount equal to the Australian Securitization maximum principal amount of A$250 million, a strike rate of 7% and expected maturity date of December 2012. Additionally, Hertz sold a 7% interest rate cap, for $0.4 million with a matching notional amount and term to the Australian operating subsidiary's interest rate cap. The fair values of all interest rate caps were calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. the 1-month LIBOR yield curve and credit default swap spreads). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate caps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.
In connection with our acquisition of Donlen, we acquired interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $30.4 million at September 30, 2011, associated with floating rate debt. These interest rate swaps are used to effectively convert an amount of floating rate debt into fixed rate debt. The fair values of these interest rate swaps were calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. the 1-month LIBOR yield curve). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred (in Selling, general and administrative).
We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. We currently have in place swaps to cover a portion of our fuel price exposure through November 2012. We presently hedge a portion of our overall unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel purchases with commodity swaps and have contracts in place that settle on a monthly basis. As of September 30, 2011, our outstanding commodity instruments for unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel totaled approximately 9.3 million gallons and 2.1 million gallons, respectively. The fair value of these commodity instruments was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e., NYMEX RBOB Gasoline and U.S. Department of Energy surveys, etc.). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these commodity instruments are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.
We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of September 30, 2011, were approximately $0.2 million. We limit counterparties to the transactions to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total notional amount of these foreign exchange options was $5.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, these foreign exchange options mature through January 2013. The fair value of the foreign exchange options was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data (i.e. foreign currency exchange rates). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these options are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total notional amount of these forward contracts was $1,043.0 million and $721.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 these foreign currency forward contracts mature within four months. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was calculated based on foreign currency forward exchange rates.
On October 1, 2006, we designated our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our international operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, losses of $11.0 million (net of tax of $7.8 million) and $6.8 million (net of tax of $5.1 million), respectively, attributable to the translation of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 into the U.S. dollar are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive income."
Note 14Related Party Transactions
Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors
Other than as disclosed below, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no material changes to our relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. or the Sponsors.
On March 31, 2011, the Sponsors sold 50 million of our common shares to Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares. Following this offering, the Sponsors continue to own an aggregate of approximately 160 million shares, or approximately 39% of our outstanding common stock.
Financing Arrangements with Related Parties
Affiliates of BAMLCP (which is one of the Sponsors), including Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Bank of America, N.A. and certain of their affiliates (which are stockholders of Hertz Holdings), have provided various investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to us for which they have received customary fees and commissions. In addition, these parties have acted as agents, lenders, purchasers and/or underwriters to us under our respective financing arrangements, for which they have received customary fees, commissions, expenses and/or other compensation. More specifically, these parties have acted in the following capacities, or similar capacities, with respect to our financing arrangements: lenders and/or agents under the Senior Credit Facilities, the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility and certain of the U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes; purchasers and/or underwriters under the Senior Notes and certain of the U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes; and structuring advisors and/or agents under the U.S. ABS Program.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $182 million and $255 million, respectively, of our outstanding debt was with related parties.

Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we execute 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. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:
Sponsors; Directors
Hertz has entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors 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 the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.
Environmental
We have 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 we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings. We are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on our balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $289.4 million and $278.7 million, respectively. We believe that our analysis was based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that we may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. We note the liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
For a detailed description of certain of our legal proceedings please see Note 11 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The following recent developments pertaining to legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K are furnished on a supplemental basis:
Following the entry of the Court's June 27, 2011 Order in Janet Sobel et al. v. The Hertz Corporation et al. which formally denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the settlement, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certificationwhich we opposedand discovery has again commenced. A separate action is proceeding against Enterprise, National and Alamo.
The Kansas Supreme Court issued its decision in Critchfield Physical Therapy, Inc. v. Taranto Group, Inc.another Telephone Consumer Protection Act casein September of 2011, so the stay that had been pending in Fun Services of Kansas City, Inc. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation has now been lifted and the case will proceed.

In addition to the above mentioned and those described in our Form 10-K or in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission, various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Other than with respect to the aggregate claims for public liability and property damage pending against us, management does not believe that any of the matters resolved, or pending against us, are material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Note 16Earnings (Loss) Per Share
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.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in millions of dollars, except per share amounts):

Corporate History
Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Ford Motor Company, "Ford," acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.
On
December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:
or collectively the "Sponsors," acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of Hertz's common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."
In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the parent company of BAMLCP. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of our common stock held by BAMLCP and certain of its affiliates.
In March 2011, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.
As a result of our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009 and March 2011, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 39% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings.
On September 1, 2011, Hertz completed the acquisition of Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services.

Overview of Our Business
We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing of cars and equipment.
Our
revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:
Our
expenses primarily consist of:
Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of cars and equipment 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. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
We have revised our consolidated statement of operations as a result of adjustments relating to additional telecommunication charges (direct operating expenses) and depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges. See Note 2 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Car Rental
In the U.S., as of September 30, 2011, the percentage of non-program cars was 70% as compared to 64% as of September 30, 2010. Internationally, as of September 30, 2011, the percentage of non-program cars was 61% as compared to 60% as of September 30, 2010. In the U.S., as of December 31, 2010, the percentage of non-program cars was 72% as compared to 67% as of
41
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
December 31, 2009. Internationally, as of December 31, 2010, the percentage of non-program cars was 70%, compared to 71% as of December 31, 2009.
In recent periods we have decreased the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet. Non-program cars typically have lower acquisition costs and lower depreciation rates than comparable program cars. As a result of decreasing our reliance on program cars, we reduce our risk related to the creditworthiness of the vehicle manufacturers. With fewer program cars in our fleet, we have an increased risk that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value. Program cars generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. This flexibility will be reduced as the percentage of non-program cars in our car rental fleet increases. Furthermore, it is expected that the average age of our fleet will increase since the average holding period for non-program vehicles is longer than program vehicles. However, the longer holding period does not necessarily equate to higher costs due to the stringent turnback requirements imposed by vehicle manufacturers for program cars.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our vehicle depreciation costs decreased as compared to the prior year period due to improved residual values in the U.S., a continued move towards a greater proportion of non-program vehicles, mix optimization and improved procurement and remarketing efforts. We believe the increase in residual values in the U.S. was partially due to the events in Japan earlier this year which have started to level off as these events have worked their way through the vehicle supply chain.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we experienced an 8.4% increase in transaction days versus the prior period in the United States, while rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," declined by 4.2%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in our European operations, we experienced a 7.1% improvement in transaction days while RPD declined by 3.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Our U.S. off-airport operations represented $907.1 million and $816.9 million of our total car rental revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, we have approximately 2,090 off-airport locations. Our strategy includes selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. Our strategy also includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at a lower RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long-term strategy to generate profitable growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location's replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues and, as a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operations.
Equipment Rental
HERC experienced higher rental volumes and pricing worldwide for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior year period as the industry continued its recovery and fleet levels began to align with demand in the industry. Specifically, we continued to see growth in our

Seasonality
Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. 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 efficiency initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third is fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.
Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by approximately 100 employees.
During the second quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of twelve equipment rental locations in the U.S., consolidation of our European headquarters and the reduction in our global workforce by approximately 50 employees.
During the third quarter of 2011, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs by reducing our global workforce by approximately 170 employees.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated statement of operations includes restructuring charges of $1.9 million and $40.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our consolidated statement of operations includes restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $14.6 million and $45.5 million, respectively.
Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed, however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses. See Note 12 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Car Rental Segment
Revenues from our car rental segment increased 10.8%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 10.4%, refueling fees of $12.2 million and airport concession recovery fees of $10.1 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $109.8 million. The three months ended September 30, 2011 also includes $35.1 million of revenues related to Donlen. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in worldwide RPD.
RPD for worldwide car rental for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 5.2% from 2010, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 6.3% and 3.3%, respectively. U.S. off-airport RPD decreased by 4.3% and U.S. airport RPD decreased 6.8%. A mix shift to longer life, lower RPD

rentals (including increased growth of off-airport and the Advantage brand); as well as a difficult year-over-year RPD comparison to last year, reduced U.S. RPD. International RPD decreased due to a decrease in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment and a mix shift of increased growth of the Advantage brand.
Equipment Rental Segment
Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 14.4%, primarily due to increases of 9.9% and 3.4% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $7.0 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial performance.
Other
Revenues from all other sources decreased $0.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our third-party claim management services.

Operations (Continued)
Direct Operating Expenses
Car Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,071.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased 8.4% from $988.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, fleet related expenses and personnel related expenses
Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment was $490.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 6.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to increases in field systems of $5.8 million, third-party claim management expenses of $3.9 million, customer service costs of $3.2 million, concession fees of $3.1 million and charge card fees of $1.9 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $17.3 million. These increases were primarily a result of improved worldwide rental volume demand.
Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment was $267.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 13.3%, from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to worldwide rental volume demand which resulted in increases in gasoline costs of $18.6 million and self insurance expenses of $2.5 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $13.2 million. The increase in gasoline costs also related to higher gasoline prices. These increases were partly offset by a decrease of $4.0 million in vehicle damage costs.
Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment was $313.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 7.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $9.8 million, as well as increases in salaries and outside services, including transporter wages associated with improved volume and additional U.S. off-airport locations in 2011.
Equipment Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $175.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased 2.0% from $172.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of increases in personnel related expenses and fleet related expenses, partly offset by a decrease in other direct operating expenses.
Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $56.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $4.7 million, or 9.1%, from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was related to wages and benefits of $2.3 million and incentives of $1.3 million primarily related to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.1 million.
Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $50.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $2.7 million, or 5.7% from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to continued aging of the fleet which resulted in an increase in maintenance costs of $1.7 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $0.8 million.
Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $68.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $4.0 million, or 5.5% from the three months ended
49
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in restructuring charges of $11.4 million, partly offset by increases in credit and collection expenses of $1.3 million, legal expenses of $0.8 million, facilities of $0.8 million and field systems and administrative expenses of $0.8 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.6 million.
Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges
Car Rental Segment
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $461.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased 6.6% from $432.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $45.0 million and a 10.6% increase in the size of our average fleet, partly offset by an improvement in certain vehicle residual values and a higher mix of non-program cars.
Equipment Rental Segment
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $62.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 9.2% from $68.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment, partly offset by a 5.1% increase in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.3 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $28.9 million or 17.1% from the prior year period, due to increases in administrative expenses, advertising expenses and sales promotion expenses.
Administrative expenses increased $15.7 million, or 15.6%, primarily due to the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $11.0 million, as well as increases in salaries and related expenses of $2.7 million and consultant fees of $1.6 million. These increases were partly offset by decreases in legal expenses of $2.1 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $1.4 million.
Advertising expenses increased $9.2 million, or 25.1%, primarily due to increased media and production related to the new campaign ("Gas and Brake"), as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.3 million.
Sales promotion expenses increased $4.0 million, or 12.5%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.1 million.
Interest Expense
Car Rental Segment
Interest expense for our car rental segment of $91.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 19.8% from $113.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest rates, partly offset by an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding as result of an increased fleet size.

Equipment Rental Segment
Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased 17.6% from $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility interest rates in 2011 and an increase in weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increased fleet size.
Other
Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $67.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 15.1% from $79.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2011.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $0.1 million from the prior year period.
ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)
Car Rental Segment
Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $375.3 million increased 22.2% from $307.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes, improved residual values and disciplined cost management, partly offset by decreased pricing. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $23.3 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $11.1 million, purchase accounting of $8.0 million and restructuring and related charges of $4.3 million, partly offset by a gain on derivatives of $0.1 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $48.1 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $34.4 million, purchase accounting of $9.1 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $4.6 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.
Equipment Rental Segment
Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $55.9 million increased 65.9% from $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing, strong cost management performance and higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $10.7 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $10.2 million and non-cash debt charges of $0.6 million, partly offset by a reversal of restructuring and related charges of $0.1 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $26.1 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $13.9 million, restructuring charges of $10.6 million and non-cash debt charges of $1.6 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

(Provision) Benefit for Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 28.1% as compared to (2.5)% in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for taxes on income increased $87.1 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest increased $1.1 million due to an increase in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Net Income Attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholders
The net income attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' common stockholders increased 33.1% primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, improved residual values on the disposal of certain vehicles and used equipment, disciplined cost management and increased pricing in our equipment rental operations, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.

Car Rental Segment
Revenues from our car rental segment increased 9.1%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 8.2%, refueling fees of $35.7 million and airport concession recovery fees of $28.1 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $201.5 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2011 also includes $35.1 million of revenues related to Donlen. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in worldwide RPD.
RPD for worldwide car rental for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 3.6% from 2010, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 4.2% and 2.5%, respectively. U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 2.1% and U.S. airport RPD decreased 4.6%. A mix shift to longer life, lower RPD rentals (including increased growth of off-airport and the Advantage brand); the competitive environment in the first half of the year, as well as a difficult year-over-year RPD comparison to last year in the latest quarter, reduced U.S. RPD. International RPD decreased primarily due to a decrease in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment.
Equipment Rental Segment
Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 13.7%, primarily due to increases of 11.7% and 2.0% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $18.0 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial performance.

Direct Operating Expenses
Car Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $2,953.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $215.8 million, or 7.9%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, fleet related expenses and personnel related expenses.
Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment was $1,324.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 7.0% from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to increases in field administrative expenses of $17.9 million, concession fees of $12.2 million, third-party claim management expenses of $10.7 million, customer service costs of $9.8 million, charge card fees of $4.9 million and reservation costs of $2.8 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $38.7 million. The increases were primarily a result of improved worldwide rental volume demand. The increase in field administrative expenses also related to a reimbursement received from a manufacturer in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increases in other direct operating expenses were partly offset by a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges of $7.3 million.
Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment was $709.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 12.7% from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The
57

increase was primarily related to worldwide rental volume demand which resulted in increases in gasoline costs of $41.4 million, vehicle license taxes of $6.0 million, self insurance expenses of $4.9 million and vehicle registration fees of $4.1 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $31.2 million. The increase in gasoline costs also related to higher gasoline prices. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in vehicle damage costs of $9.3 million.
Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment was $920.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 5.7%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $21.1 million, outside services, including transporter wages of $14.1 million and incentive compensation costs of $1.7 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $23.1 million, partly offset by a decrease in benefits of $10.6 million. The expense increases were primarily related to improved results, as well as additional U.S. off-airport and Advantage locations in 2011. The decrease in benefits primarily related to the U.K. pension plan curtailment gain.
Equipment Rental Segment
Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $554.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 8.9% from $509.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, fleet related expenses and personnel related expenses.
Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $239.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $18.6 million, or 8.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to increases in legal expenses of $3.1 million, re-rent expense of $2.7 million, amortization expense of $1.9 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $1.2 million and credit and collections expense of $1.1 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.8 million. The increase in re-rent expense primarily related to improved worldwide rental volume demand.
Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $146.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.4 million, or 10.1% from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to continued aging of the fleet which resulted in an increase in maintenance costs of $9.3 million and increased worldwide rental volume resulting in increased freight and delivery costs of $5.8 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.5 million. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in insurance and licenses of $2.4 million.
Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $169.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.3 million, or 8.5% from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was related to increases in wages and benefits of $8.1 million and incentives of $2.0 million primarily related to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.1 million.
Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges
Car Rental Segment
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $1,185.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 2.1% from $1,210.7 million
58
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an improvement in certain vehicle residual values and a higher mix of non-program cars, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $65.2 million.
Equipment Rental Segment
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $193.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 6.1% from $206.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment, partly offset by a 2.3% increase in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.2 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13.2%, due to increases in administrative expenses, sales promotion expenses and advertising expenses.
Administrative expenses increased $40.4 million, or 13.1%, primarily due to increases in salaries and related expenses of $16.7 million and consulting expenses of $6.0 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $19.2 million.
Sales promotion expenses increased $13.4 million, or 14.0%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.8 million.
Advertising expenses increased $13.2 million, or 12.5%, primarily due to increased media and production related to the new campaign ("Gas and Brake"), as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.8 million.
Interest Expense
Car Rental Segment
Interest expense for our car rental segment of $245.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 18.5% from $301.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2011.
Equipment Rental Segment
Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 15.2% from $29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a portion of the write-off of the unamortized debt costs in connection with the refinancing of our Senior ABL Facility which was allocated to our equipment rental segment in 2011.
Other
Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $252.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 4.6% from $241.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the write-off of unamortized debt costs in connection with the refinancing of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, financing costs incurred in connection

with the new Senior Term Facility and the write-off of unamortized debt costs in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes in 2011.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $5.7 million primarily due to a value added tax reclaim received in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net increased $62.7 million primarily due to premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes during 2011.
ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)
Car Rental Segment
Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $678.8 million increased 33.1% million from $509.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes, improved residual values and disciplined cost management, partly offset by decreased pricing. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $53.7 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $31.9 million, purchase accounting of $24.6 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $9.7 million, pension adjustment of $(13.1) million and loss on derivatives of $0.6 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $157.5 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $107.8 million, purchase accounting of $28.6 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $21.1 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.
Equipment Rental Segment
Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $99.5 million increased $56.5 million from $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing, strong cost management performance and higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $75.3 million (which consists of restructuring and restructuring related charges of $35.8 million, purchase accounting of $35.0 million and non-cash debt charges of $4.5 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $74.6 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $37.4 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $31.5 million and non-cash debt charges of $5.7 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

(Provision) Benefit for Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 37.9% as compared to 10.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for taxes on income increased $88.8 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest increased $1.6 million due to an increase in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholders
The net income attributable to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries' common stockholders increased $149.7 million primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, improved residual values on the disposal of certain vehicles and used equipment, disciplined cost management and increased pricing in our equipment rental operations, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations, costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility and the write-off of unamortized debt costs and premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes during 2011. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our domestic and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the United States and internationally.
Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $385.8 million, a decrease of $1,988.4 million from $2,374.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The following table summarizes such decrease:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we generated $81.0 million less cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of our vendor payments as a result of improvements in the operating performance of our business, equipment rental customer receivables and VAT receivables. The decrease was also due to premiums paid to redeem debt in 2011 and timing of interest payments.
Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $1,002.6 million more cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2010. The increase in the use of funds was primarily due to increases in revenue earning equipment and property and equipment expenditures, a decrease in proceeds from disposal of revenue earning equipment and the Donlen acquisition, partly offset by a decrease in the year-over-year change in restricted cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in proceeds from the disposal of revenue earning equipment in our car rental operations was primarily related to the higher mix of less expensive non-program cars sold, partly offset by an increase in proceeds from the disposal of revenue earning equipment in our equipment rental operations primarily related to strategically refreshing the age of our fleet. The increase in revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to higher car and equipment rental volumes. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $332.8 million and $207.6 million, respectively, of restricted cash and cash equivalents to be used for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our fleet financing facilities, our Like Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. The increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $125.2 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $1,450.8 million more cash for financing activities compared with the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to payment of long-term debt (includes redemption of $518.5 million principal amount of 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes, redemption of $1,585 million principal amount of our outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes and a
62

payment of $1.3 billion for the 2005 Senior Term Facility), a decrease in proceeds under the revolving lines of credit, net and payments of short-term borrowings, partly offset by an increase in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt (includes $1.4 billion Senior Term Facility issued March 2011 and $1 billion of 6.75% Senior Notes issued in February and March 2011).

Financing
Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of corporate and fleet related debt, the payment of operating expenses and purchases of rental vehicles and equipment to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, borrowings under our asset-backed securitizations and our asset-based revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets generally.
As of September 30, 2011, we had $12,506.3 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $488.0 million, net of amounts capitalized. Accordingly, we are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures.
Our liquidity as of September 30, 2011 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and unused commitments under our fleet debt. For a description of these amounts, see Note 7 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report as well as "Borrowing Capacity and Availability," below.
We have a significant amount of debt that will mature over the next several years. The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending September 30 (in millions of dollars) are as follows:
2012 | $ | 5,198.9 | (including $4,989.2 of other short-term borrowings) | ||
2013 | $ | 672.6 | |||
2014 | $ | 703.0 | |||
2015 | $ | 884.1 | |||
2016 | $ | 1,236.3 | |||
After 2016 | $ | 3,896.0 |
Our short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2011 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, European Securitization, Australian Securitization, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, U.S. Variable Funding Notes, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility, Canadian Securitization, Capitalized Leases, European Revolving Credit Facility, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Note Facility and European Seasonal Revolving Facility. These amounts are reflected as short-term
64
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. Short-term borrowings also include the Convertible Senior Notes which became convertible on January 1, 2011 and remained as such through September 30, 2011.
The agreements governing our indebtedness require us to comply with certain covenants. Our failure to comply with the obligations contained in any agreements governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt becoming immediately due and payable and could further result in a cross default or cross acceleration of our debt issued under other instruments.
As a result of our successful refinancing efforts in 2009, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the strategic cost reduction actions taken in the past, we believe that we will remain in compliance with our debt covenants and that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
A significant number of cars that we purchase are subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, car manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. We use book values derived from this specified price or guaranteed depreciation rate to calculate financing capacity under certain asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.
In the event of a bankruptcy of a car manufacturer, our liquidity would be impacted by several factors including reductions in fleet residual values and the risk that we would be unable to collect outstanding receivables due to us from such bankrupt manufacturer. In addition, the program cars manufactured by any such company would need to be removed from our fleet or re-designated as non-program vehicles, which would require us to furnish additional credit enhancement associated with these program vehicles. For a discussion of the risks associated with a manufacturer's bankruptcy or our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing, see "Item 1ARisk Factors" included in our Form 10-K.
We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleet. The amount of financing available to us pursuant to these programs depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including recently adopted legislation, proposed SEC rules and regulations and other legislative and administrative developments. In this regard, there has been uncertainty regarding the potential impact of recently proposed SEC rules and regulations governing the issuance of asset-backed securities and additional requirements contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. While we will continue to monitor these developments and their impact on our ABS program, the SEC rules and regulations, once adopted and implemented, may impact our ability and/or desire to engage in asset-backed financings in the future. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs and our indebtedness, see Note 4 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For a discussion of the risks associated with our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing and the significant amount of indebtedness, see "Item 1ARisk Factors" in our Form 10-K.

For further information on our indebtedness, see Note 7 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Covenants
Certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.
Under the new terms of our amended Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility we are subject to a springing financial maintenance covenant upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. As of September 30, 2011, no triggering event had occurred requiring testing of the springing financial maintenance covenant.
In addition to borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities, we have a significant amount of additional debt outstanding. For further information on the terms of our Senior Credit Facilities as well as our significant amount of debt outstanding, see Note 7 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 4 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."
We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.
We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" and "borrowing base availability" 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 we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).
As of September 30, 2011, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.3 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,103.7 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.
Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.
Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $693.8 million and $652.1 million, respectively, and total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $693.3 million and $651.6 million, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we execute 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. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are

probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Hertz has entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, our stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors 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 the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.
Environmental
We have 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 we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Operations (Continued)
Risk Management
For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see "Item 1BusinessRisk Management" in our Form 10-K and "Part II, Item 1ARisk Factors" in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Market Risks
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in gasoline 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. For more information on these exposures, see Note 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Interest Rate Risk
From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and/or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk. See Notes 7 and 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Notes 4 and 13 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
We have a significant amount of debt with variable rates of interest based generally on LIBOR, Euro inter-bank offered rate, or "EURIBOR," or their equivalents for local currencies or bank conduit commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt.
We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio as of September 30, 2011, our net income would decrease by an estimated $34.4 million over a twelve-month period.
Consistent with the terms of the agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the various debt facilities to provide protection in respect of such exposure.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound.
We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to
69
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty.
We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.
On October 1, 2006, we designated our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our international operations.
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated statement of operations contained realized and unrealized losses relating to the effects of foreign currency of $9.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively.
See Note 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Other Risks
We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates. In January 2009, we began a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, we recognized a loss of $1.9 million and a gain of $1.0 million, respectively, in "Direct operating" on our consolidated statement of operations relating to our gasoline swaps. See Note 13 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Inflation
The increased cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs and gasoline. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.
Income Taxes
In January 2006, we implemented a LKE Program for our U.S. car rental business. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred "like-kind exchanges" pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and part of 2010. A LKE Program for HERC has also been in place for several years. The program allows tax deferral if a qualified replacement asset is acquired within a specific time period after asset disposal. Accordingly, if a qualified replacement asset is not purchased within this limited time period, taxable gain is recognized. Over the last few years, for strategic purposes, such as cash management and fleet reduction, we have recognized some taxable gains in the program. In 2009, the bankruptcy filing of an original equipment manufacturer, or "OEM," also resulted in minimal gain recognition. We had sufficient net operating losses to fully offset the taxable gains recognized. We cannot offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will continue or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. An extended reduction in our car rental fleet could result in reduced deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for federal and state income tax liabilities. Our inability to obtain replacement financing as our fleet financing facilities mature would likely result in an extended reduction in the fleet. In the event of an
70
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
extended fleet reduction, we believe the likelihood of making material cash tax payments in the near future is low because of our significant net operating losses. In August 2010, we elected to temporarily suspend the U.S. car rental LKE Program allowing cash proceeds from sales of vehicles to be utilized for various business purposes, including paying down existing debt obligations, future growth initiatives and for general operating purposes. Purchases of vehicles will continue to be funded with a combination of asset-backed securitizations, asset-based revolving credit facilities and corporate liquidity. We expect that recent tax legislation, effective September 2010 through December 2011, will result in the LKE suspension having a neutral effect on our taxes. The new law allows 100% bonus depreciation for qualified asset acquisitions during the period the law is effective. We estimate recognized tax gains on vehicle dispositions resulting from the LKE suspension to be mainly offset by 100% tax depreciation on newly acquired vehicles. Our federal net operating loss position for U.S. tax purposes should remain relatively unchanged when the LKE program is re-instated.
On January 1, 2009, Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the parent company of BAMLCP. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of our common stock held by BAMLCP and certain of its affiliates. For U.S. income tax purposes the transaction, when combined with other unrelated transactions during the previous 36 months, resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, utilization of all pre-2009 U.S. net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation. The limitation is not expected to result in a loss of net operating losses or have a material adverse impact on taxes.
Employee Retirement Benefits
Pension
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Our 2011 worldwide pre-tax pension expense is expected to be approximately $21.2 million, which would represent a decrease of $11.0 million from 2010. The anticipated decrease in expense compared to 2010 is primarily due to a curtailment gain resulting from suspending the U.K. pension plan.
We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board "FASB" issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and
71
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)
other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. These provisions will become effective for us beginning with our quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012. In October 2011, the FASB decided to propose a deferral of the requirement to present reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement, which was also included in this accounting standards update.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment," which gives companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This option is available to us effective immediately for all future goodwill impairment tests.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-09, "Disclosures about an Employer's Participation in a Multiemployer Plan," which require that employers provide additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension plans and multiemployer other postretirement benefit plans. These provisions will become effective for us beginning with our annual report for the period ended December 31, 2011.
Other Financial Information
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 2011 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for reviews of such unaudited interim financial information. However, their separate report dated November 7, 2011 included in this Form 10-Q herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on such unaudited interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on such unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a "report" or "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There is no material change in the information reported under "Part II, Item 7AQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. See "Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsMarket Risks," included in this Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
An evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to determine whether any changes have occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
For a description of certain pending legal proceedings, see Note 11 to the Notes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K.
The following recent developments pertaining to legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K are furnished on a supplemental basis:
Following the entry of the Court's June 27, 2011 Order in Janet Sobel et al. v. The Hertz Corporation et al. which formally denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the settlement, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certificationwhich we opposedand discovery has again commenced. A separate action is proceeding against Enterprise, National and Alamo.
The Kansas Supreme Court issued its decision in Critchfield Physical Therapy, Inc. v. Taranto Group, Inc.another Telephone Consumer Protection Act casein September of 2011, so the stay that had been pending in Fun Services of Kansas City, Inc. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation has now been lifted and the case will proceed.
None of the other legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K have experienced material changes.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There is no material change in the information reported under "Part IItem 1ARisk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and "Part II, Item 1ARisk Factors" in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the exception of the following:
Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness
Our substantial level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and ability to compete in our industry.
As of September 30, 2011, we had debt outstanding of $12,506.3 million. Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect us. For example, it could: (i) make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt securities and to the lenders under our various credit facilities, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration of, such indebtedness; (ii) limit our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness or borrow additional funds in the future; (iii) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our debt, which would reduce our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes; (iv) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions (such as credit-related disruptions in Europe); including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings are at floating rates of interest and are not hedged against rising interest rates, or the risk that one or more of the financial institutions providing commitments under our revolving credit facilities fails to fund an extension of credit under any such facility, due to insolvency or otherwise, leaving us with less liquidity than expected; (v) place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates or on better terms; and (vi) limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve operating margins. While the terms of the agreements and instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain certain restrictions upon our ability to incur additional indebtedness, they do not fully prohibit us from incurring substantial additional indebtedness and do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt or other obligations are added to our current liability levels without a corresponding refinancing or redemption of our existing indebtedness and obligations, these risks would increase. For a description of the amounts we have available under certain of our debt facilities,
74
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
see "Item 7Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesCredit Facilities," in this Annual Report. Our ability to manage these risks depends on financial market conditions as well as our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to a wide range of risks, including those described under "Risks Related to Our Business."
If our capital resources (including borrowings under the revolving portion of our various credit facilities and access to other refinancing indebtedness) and operating cash flows are not sufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to do, among other things, one or more of the following:
(i) sell certain of our assets; (ii) reduce the size of our rental fleet; (iii) reduce the percentage of program cars in our rental fleet; (iv) reduce or delay capital expenditures; (iv) obtain additional equity capital; (v) forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions and joint ventures; or (vi) restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity.
We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will maintain financing activities and cash flows sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If we cannot refinance or otherwise pay our obligations as they mature and fund our liquidity needs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to obtain financing, and ability to compete in our industry could be materially adversely affected.
