This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2025 Form 10-K together with the sections entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Summary of Risk Factors," Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2026 (this "Quarterly Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including revenue earning vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA – important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to…

• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA – important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows investors to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability and accordingly a GAAP measure, is calculated exclusive of certain items which are largely consistent with those used in the calculation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and its assessment of our operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.• Vehicle Utilization – important key metric to management and investors as it is the measurement of the…

Schweitzer Securities Class Action Complaint – On July 24, 2026, Cameron Schweitzer, a stockholder of Hertz Global, filed a class action against Hertz Global and individual defendants Company CEO Gil West and Company CFO Scott Haralson in the Florida Middle District Court. The plaintiff purports to represent a class of all persons who purchased Hertz Global securities between May 7, 2026, and June 23, 2026, seeking to recover damages caused by the defendants' alleged violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and
Share Repurchase Program Litigation – On May 11, 2023, Angelo Cascia, a purported stockholder of Hertz Global, filed a putative class and derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Delaware Chancery Court") against certain current and former directors of Hertz Global, Knighthead Capital Management, LLC ("Knighthead"), Certares Opportunities LLC ("Certares") and CK Amarillo. The claims in the complaint relate to the Company's share repurchase programs approved in November 2021 and June 2022. Among other allegations, the plaintiff claims Board members breached their fiduciary duties in approving these share repurchase programs and that Knighthead, Certares, and CK Amarillo were unjustly enriched because they gained a majority stake in Hertz Global as a result of share repurchases. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the complaint on July 24, 2023. On March 11, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court held a hearing on defendants' motion to dismiss. On June 20, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. The Delaware Chancery Court dismissed the claims against directors Feikin, Fields, Intrieri and Vougessis with prejudice, dismissed the claims related to the 2021 buyback without prejudice and allowed the remaining claims to proceed. On August 26, 2024, the Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC"), made up of two independent directors, to evaluate and take any necessary actions related to the remaining claims. On October 21, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted a motion to stay the litigation, including all discovery, until March 21, 2025. On March 26, 2025, the Delaware Chancery Court extended the stay for an additional 30 days. On April 25, 2025, the SLC filed its report under seal with the Delaware Chancery Court. On May 9, 2025, the SLC filed an unopposed motion to terminate the derivative claims in the litigation. In response, the plaintiff informed the Delaware Chancery Court that he would not oppose the SLC's motion to terminate the derivative claims, declared his intention to continue to prosecute the direct claims only and reserved his right to seek an award of fees based on the alleged benefit conferred to the Company. The Court scheduled a hearing on the SLC's unopposed motion to terminate the derivative claims for November 10, 2025. The parties then settled the direct and derivative claims, subject to approval of the Delaware Chancery Court. On July 23, 2026, the Delaware Chancery Court approved the settlement agreement, including the plaintiff's approximate $ 3 million fee petition.
Doller Securities Class Action Complaint – On May 31, 2024, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the "Florida Middle District Court"), captioned Edward M. Doller v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. et al . (No. 2:24-CV-00513). On September 30, 2024, an amended complaint was filed, following the Florida Middle District Court's appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. The amended complaint asserts claims against Hertz Global, former Company CEO, Stephen M. Scherr ("Defendant Scherr"), and former Company Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Alexandra Brooks, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, including concerning statements regarding demand for EVs. Plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of a putative class, consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Hertz Global's securities between January 6, 2023 and April 24, 2024. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, together with interest, attorneys' fees and other costs. Hertz Global filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on October 30, 2024. On December 19, 2024, the Florida Middle District Court stayed all proceedings, pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss. On October 16, 2025, the Court granted the motion to dismiss in part, dismissing all claims except those based on two statements by Defendant Scherr in January and April of 2023. The Court directed the clerk to lift the stay. The parties settled in principle during a mediation on March 12, 2026, subject to approval of the Court. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on October 2, 2026.
Data Breach Claims – On April 15, 2025, Zain Jiwani filed a class action complaint against Cleo Communications U.S., LLC ("Cleo") and the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division (Rockford, IL) (the "Illinois Northern District, Western Division Court"). Plaintiff alleges that Cleo, a file-transfer vendor for the Company, experienced a data breach event that may have impacted the personal information of certain individuals during the secure file transfer process from the Company's systems to third-party systems and that Company data may have been acquired by an unauthorized third party that exploited zero-day vulnerabilities within Cleo's platform in October and December of 2024. Plaintiff alleges that the Company was negligent in failing to secure the data, breached implied contracts and was unjustly enriched. Ten similar class action complaints were filed against the Company shortly thereafter and eventually transferred to the same court, the Illinois Northern District, Western Division Court. The class actions generally seek injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The defendants' responses to the complaints were stayed until the conclusion of a mediation between the plaintiffs and Cleo on June 30, 2026. The plaintiffs and Cleo conditionally settled all claims against all defendants at the mediation. At this stage of the litigation, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 14: Segment Information 5 changes
The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine segment profitability, which aids the CODM in the assessment of segment operating performance and assists in the evaluation of resource needs and the allocation of resources to the Company's reportable segments. The CODM conducts regular meetings with finance and operational leaders to review targeted results versus actual results to facilitate the evaluation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments and organized based primarily on the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
• Americas RAC – Rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations in this segment and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands; and
• International RAC – Rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in locations other than the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations, a majority of which are in Europe, and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands.
In addition to its reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate"), which includes general corporate assets and expenses and net interest expense on non-vehicle debt. Corporate includes other items necessary to reconcile the reportable segments to the Company's total amounts.

The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning in January 2027. Each payment of interest will consist of 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in cash and 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in the form of PIK interest. The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will mature on July 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to maturity.
The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will be exchangeable at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will be exchangeable by holders into shares of Hertz Global common stock, cash or a combination of Hertz Global common stock and cash, at Hertz's election. The aggregate number of shares of Hertz Global common stock that may be issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 may not exceed 63,457,320 shares, unless and until the shareholders of Hertz Global approve the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. The exchange rate will initially be 279.5248 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, corresponding to an initial exchange price of approximately $3.58 per share of Hertz Global common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
Holders of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will have the right to require Hertz to repurchase all or a portion of their Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 at 100% of the capitalized principal amount of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 plus accrued and unpaid cash interest up to, but excluding, the date of such repurchase, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events constituting a "fundamental change" as defined in the indenture governing the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030.

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, and Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global's assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global's revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows herein is for Hertz and also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects, unless otherwise noted. Differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.
The statements in this MD&A regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The following MD&A provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2025 Form 10-K together with the sections entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Summary of Risk Factors," Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2026 (this "Quarterly Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including revenue earning vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
In this MD&A, we refer to the following non-GAAP measure and key metrics:
• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA – important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows investors to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability and accordingly a GAAP measure, is calculated exclusive of certain items which are largely consistent with those used in the calculation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and its assessment of our operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
• Vehicle Utilization – important key metric to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to rentable fleet capacity. Higher Vehicle Utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenues.

We are engaged principally in the business of renting vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles based on availability to rent, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of EVs, non-program vehicles and program vehicles based on market conditions, including residual values. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and, as such, we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures.
Through our "Back-to-Basics" roadmap, we are committed to executing a comprehensive strategy to transform our business, anchored by three financial pillars: disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization and rigorous cost control. Building on our brand strength, global network and fleet management expertise, we remain committed to operational excellence and keeping customers central to everything we do. We have strengthened our fleet by refining our capabilities by sourcing vehicles strategically, deploying them efficiently and monetizing them effectively. Our approach balances disciplined execution today with systematic innovation for tomorrow, leveraging industry experience to adapt to evolving market dynamics and position us for sustainable growth in the future of mobility.
Our revenues are primarily derived from rental and related charges and consist of worldwide vehicle rental revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations and charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling and electric charging of vehicles and revenues associated with value-added services, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and other products and fees. Also included are collections from customers for vehicle damages, ancillary revenues associated with, but not limited to, retail vehicle sales and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees are less than 3% of total revenues each period).
Our expenses primarily consist of:
• direct vehicle and operating expense ("DOE"), primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as collision and damage, maintenance, fuel and electric charging costs;
• depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles, including gains and losses and related costs associated with the disposal of vehicles, including vehicle sales;
• depreciation and amortization expense relating to non-vehicle assets;
• selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A"), which includes advertising costs and administrative personnel costs, along with costs for information technology and business transformation programs; and
• interest expense, net.
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we seek to increase our available fleet and staff. As demand declines, we seek to reduce our fleet and staff accordingly. As a result, we strive to maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. 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. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for demand.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES
On August 5, 2026, the Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved and adopted the 2026 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Senior Executives (the "Change in Control Severance Plan"). The Change in Control Severance Plan provides severance and related benefits to a select group of the Company's senior executives (including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive and senior vice president-level employees, which group includes the Company's named executive officers) in the event of a "Qualifying Termination" which is a termination by the Company other than for "cause," permanent disability, or death or a resignation by the senior executive for "good reason," in either case occurring on or within 2 years following a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the Change in Control Severance Plan).
Upon a Qualifying Termination, in addition to receiving any earned but unpaid salary, earned but unpaid annual performance bonus for the year prior to termination, and/or other vested payments or benefits, an eligible senior executive will be entitled to receive: (i) a pro-rata annual performance bonus for the year of termination based on actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics; (ii) a cash severance payment equal to the sum of the senior executive's base salary and target annual bonus, multiplied by a severance factor (1.5 times for senior vice presidents, 2.0 times for executive vice presidents, and 2.5 times for the Chief Executive Officer), generally payable in installments (except for the current Chief Executive Officer, whose payment will be made in a lump sum in accordance with his employment agreement) over a corresponding "Severance Period" (18 months for senior vice presidents, 24 months for executive vice presidents, and 30 months for the Chief Executive Officer following termination); (iii) continued medical, dental, vision, and other health coverage (or, if such coverage cannot be provided, a monthly cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium) for the duration of the applicable Severance Period; and (iv) full accelerated vesting of outstanding time-based equity awards and pro-rata accelerated vesting of outstanding performance-based equity awards (with performance deemed achieved at the greater of target or actual results as of the termination date), in each case under the Company's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any successor thereto).
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
The senior executive must execute (and not revoke) a release of claims within 60 days following termination to be eligible for benefits. The Change in Control Severance Plan contains certain covenants regarding confidential information, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement. These restrictive covenants generally apply for a period equal to the greater of 12 months or the applicable Severance Period, but not more than 24 months following termination. All compensation and benefits payable under the Change in Control Severance Plan also remain subject to the Company's Covered Officer Compensation Clawback Policy or any other clawback policy of the Company. A senior executive who is otherwise a party to a separate offer letter, employment agreement, or similar arrangement providing for severance is not entitled to duplicate benefits under the Change in Control Severance Plan.
The foregoing description of the Change in Control Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Change in Control Severance Plan, a copy of which is filed with this Quarterly Report.
