  • Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Christopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis
    15-164 Revised March 27, 2018 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Christopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis In the June 7-8, 2014 weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal, an article entitled “Accounting Errors Hit Hertz Hard” caught auto industry analyst Abby Devins’s attention. Devins recalled that Hertz had hinted in March about the possibility of having to restate its 2011 financial statements, but by June the situation appeared worse than previously anticipated. “Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.,” read the article, “would have to restate and correct results from the past three years, according to a regulatory filing Friday that indicated more widespread accounting problems at the auto-rental company than had been thought.”1 The article also mentioned that Hertz’s stock had closed down about 9% in Friday’s trading. Keenly aware that car rental companies like Hertz provided a significant source of steady demand for automotive manufacturers, Devins was curious whether Hertz’s accounting issues could be related in some way to its large rental fleet and what impact this might have on the company’s future vehicle acquisition plans. Car Rental Industry As of 2013, the U.S. car rental industry totaled approximately $36 billion in revenue, which was divided between leisure travelers, business travelers, and leasing, with rentals taking place both at airport and off-airport locations (Exhibit 1). Since the majority of car rental demand came from leisure and business travel, the industry suffered during the 2008-09 recession, with revenue growth plummeting into negative territory (Exhibit 2). Revenue growth resumed, however, as the subsequent economic recovery began to take hold.
