  • 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.

    The Global Car Rental Market To 2018 Report Code: TT0203MR Publication Date: December 2014 www.tourism-ic.com John Carpenter House 7 Carmelite Street London EC4Y 0BS United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)20 7936 6400 Fax: +44 (0)20 7336 6813 Global Car Rental Market to 2018 Page 1 © Travel & Tourism Intelligence Center. This product is licensed and is not to be photocopied Published: December 2014 SUMMARY 1 SUMMARY According to the Travel &Tourism intelligence center (TTIC) analysis based on 40 countries around the world, the US was the leader in the car rental market in terms of both market value and fleet size. The US recorded US$XX.XX billion market value in 2013, which is more than six times that of its competitor, Japan, which recorded US$ XX.XX billion market value in 2013. The Eurozone crisis had a negative impact on the Travel and Tourism sector in European countries. However, car rental KPIs showed resilience in many countries (with the exception of Italy and Spain) with overall growth recorded in KPIs during the historic period. The hosting of international events such as Olympic Games in London in 2012 and Winter Olympic Games in Russia in 2014 have partially supported the growth. Challenging economic conditions and fierce competition have resulted in a large number of deals recorded in the global car rental market during the historic period as a means for operators to improve profitability and remain competitive. Some of the biggest deals in the car rental market were recorded in the US such as the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group by Hertz.
