Devins recalled that Hertz had<br \/>\nhinted in March about the possibility of having to restate its 2011 financial statements, but by June the<br \/>\nsituation appeared worse than previously anticipated. \u201cHertz Global Holdings, Inc.,\u201d read the article,<br \/>\n\u201cwould have to restate and correct results from the past three years, according to a regulatory filing<br \/>\nFriday that indicated more widespread accounting problems at the auto-rental company than had been<br \/>\nthought.\u201d1 The article also mentioned that Hertz\u2019s stock had closed down about 9% in Friday\u2019s trading.<br \/>\nKeenly aware that car rental companies like Hertz provided a significant source of steady demand for<br \/>\nautomotive manufacturers, Devins was curious whether Hertz\u2019s accounting issues could be related in<br \/>\nsome way to its large rental fleet and what impact this might have on the company\u2019s future vehicle<br \/>\nacquisition plans.<br \/>\nCar Rental Industry<br \/>\nAs of 2013, the U.S. car rental industry totaled approximately $36 billion in revenue, which was divided<br \/>\nbetween leisure travelers, business travelers, and leasing, with rentals taking place both at airport and<br \/>\noff-airport locations (Exhibit 1). Since the majority of car rental demand came from leisure and<br \/>\nbusiness travel, the industry suffered during the 2008-09 recession, with revenue growth plummeting<br \/>\ninto negative territory (Exhibit 2). Revenue growth resumed, however, as the subsequent economic<br \/>\nrecovery began to take hold.<br \/>\n1 Michael Calia, \u201cAccounting Errors Hit Hertz Hard,\u201d The Wall Street Journal, June 7-8, 2014.<br \/>\nHERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.<br \/>\nChristopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis<br \/>\nRev. March 27, 2018 2<br \/>\nDue to a wave of consolidations, three companies dominated the market with a combined 71% market<br \/>\nshare \u2014 Enterprise Holdings (Enterprise, National, and Alamo brands); Avis Budget Group (Avis,<br \/>\nBudget, and Payless brands); and Hertz Global Holdings (Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands).2<br \/>\nCompany Background<br \/>\nHistory<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s beginnings trace back to 1918 when 22-year old Walter L. Jacobs launched Rent-a-Car, Inc. in<br \/>\nChicago, Illinois, with a dozen Model T Fords that he repaired and painted himself. After having<br \/>\ngenerated $1 million in revenue over five years, Jacobs sold his company to John D. Hertz who renamed<br \/>\nthe company in his name and made it a subsidiary of his Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing<br \/>\nCompany.<br \/>\nOver the next century, Hertz changed hands several times and was owned on separate occasions by<br \/>\nboth General Motors and the Ford Motor Company. In 2005, Hertz was acquired by a trio of private<br \/>\nequity investment companies, which then took the company public in 2006. See Exhibit 3 for a<br \/>\ncorporate timeline.<br \/>\nAt of the end of 2013, with over 30,000 employees, Hertz had almost 12,000 worldwide car rental<br \/>\nlocations, spanning 145 countries, and a rental fleet topping 700,000 cars (524,000 in the U.S. and<br \/>\n179,500 internationally).3<br \/>\nOperations and Financial Performance<br \/>\nAfter going public in 2006, Hertz grew from a single brand with an on-airport focus on business<br \/>\ntravelers to a multi-brand operation.4 The company acquired the $1.5 billion annual revenue business<br \/>\nof Dollar Thrifty in November 2012. Hertz\u2019s addition of the rental brands Dollar Rent A Car and Thrifty<br \/>\nCar created an immediate leadership position in the budget-friendly leisure market. In 2013, Hertz<br \/>\nlaunched a deep value brand, Firefly, focused on price conscious leisure travelers. That same year,<br \/>\nHertz expanded into the Chinese car rental market by acquiring a 20% stake in China Auto Rental, the<br \/>\nlargest car rental company in China. U.S. and international car rental revenue in 2013 totaled $6.3<br \/>\nbillion and $2.4 billion, respectively (Exhibit 4).<br \/>\nThrough its Donlen subsidiary, acquired in September 2011, Hertz provided a comprehensive array of<br \/>\ncommercial fleet leasing and management services. Donlen leased car and light- to medium-truck<br \/>\nfleets, generally with a minimum 12-month lease term. It also provided additional services during<br \/>\nleases, including fuel purchasing and management, preventative maintenance, repair consultation,<br \/>\naccident management, and telematics-based location and driver performance reporting. Hertz also<br \/>\n2 Zachary Harris, \u201cIBISWorld Industry Report \u2013 Car Rental in the US,\u201d February 2015.<br \/>\n3 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., 2013 Annual Report.<br \/>\n4 Details of Hertz\u2019s operations from Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., 2013 Annual Report.<br \/>\nHERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.<br \/>\nChristopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis<br \/>\nRev.

Exhibit 5 provides a breakdown of<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s 2013 revenue by business segment.<br \/>\nHertz stock more or less mirrored the S&amp;P 500 Index from the end of 2006 until the summer of 2012<br \/>\nwhen it began to outperform the broader market (Exhibit 6). The pattern of Hertz\u2019s earnings closely<br \/>\ntracked its stock price (Exhibit 7). Company earnings rose between 2006 and 2007 but turned sharply<br \/>\nnegative with the 2008 financial crisis as both business and leisure travel slowed. During the ensuing<br \/>\neconomic recovery, Hertz\u2019s earnings rebounded, once again entering positive territory in 2011. The<br \/>\ncompany reported record revenue and EBITDA for 2013.5 Mark Frissora, Hertz Chairman and CEO,<br \/>\ncommented on the company\u2019s strong 2013 financial performance on an earnings call with analysts and<br \/>\ninvestors: \u201cWe continue to successfully drive both record revenue and earnings growth by leveraging<br \/>\nindustry leading rental car brands, capitalizing on strategic acquisitions, penetrating new markets in<br \/>\nequipment rental, and being relentless on efficiency programs and cost management.\u201d6<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s 2013 10-K indicated that the company had increased revenue by roughly 30% and more than<br \/>\ndoubled net income to common shareholders since 2011. Over this same three-year period, depreciation<br \/>\naveraged around 25% of total expenses. See Exhibit 8 for Hertz\u2019s 2013 income statement. The<br \/>\nrelatively high level of depreciation was consistent with the capital intensive nature of Hertz\u2019s<br \/>\noperations. The company\u2019s largest asset in 2012 and 2013 was revenue earning equipment (i.e., cars<br \/>\nand trucks), which comprised in excess of 50% of total assets in both years. See Exhibit 9 for Hertz\u2019s<br \/>\n2013 balance sheet.<br \/>\nCalculating Depreciation<br \/>\nOnce an asset like equipment is recorded on the balance sheet, its cost must be transferred over time<br \/>\nfrom the balance sheet to the income statement and reported as an expense. This process is referred to<br \/>\nas depreciation. Managers have a certain amount of discretion in recording depreciation expense<br \/>\nbecause of the assumptions that underlie the calculations.<br \/>\nTwo estimates are required to compute the amount of depreciation expense for each accounting period:<br \/>\n1. Useful life is the period of time over which an asset is expected to provide economic<br \/>\nbenefits to a company, which need not correspond to its physical life.<br \/>\n2. Residual or salvage value is the expected value of an asset at the end of its useful life.<br \/>\nThe depreciable base is computed by subtracting the residual value from an asset\u2019s acquisition cost.<br \/>\nThis amount is then depreciated over an asset\u2019s useful life. The most common way for allocating<br \/>\ndepreciation over an asset\u2019s useful life is the straight-line method. Exhibit 10 provides an example of<br \/>\n5 \u201cHertz Report Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results,\u201d Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Press Release, March 18, 2014.<br \/>\n6 Q4 2013 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Earnings Conference Call, March 18, 2014.<br \/>\nHERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.<br \/>\nChristopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis<br \/>\nRev. March 27, 2018 4<br \/>\ndepreciation of an automobile with a $50,000 acquisition cost, a $10,000 residual value, and a 5-year<br \/>\nuseful life.<br \/>\nThe amount of annual depreciation expense for the automobile in this example is $8,000. As this<br \/>\nexample also shows, when depreciation is recognized as an expense on the income statement, which<br \/>\nhas the effect of reducing retained earnings on the balance sheet, the book value of the corresponding<br \/>\nasset is reduced by an equal amount with a balancing entry in accumulated depreciation, a contra asset<br \/>\naccount associated with PP&amp;E.<br \/>\nWhen an asset is disposed of, any difference between its sale price and net book value is recognized on<br \/>\nthe income statement as a gain\/loss on sale. In the above example, a loss on sale of $2,500 would result<br \/>\nif the automobile were sold at the end of Year 5 for $7,500, which reflects the fact that its sales price<br \/>\n($7,500) is lower than its net book value ($10,000) at that time.<br \/>\nDepreciation of Rental Fleet<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s 2013 financial statements included a footnote disclosure that described how the company<br \/>\naccounted for depreciation of revenue earning equipment:<br \/>\nGenerally, when revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period that we will<br \/>\nhold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g.,<br \/>\nautomobile mileage and equipment usage) and the targeted age of equipment at the time of<br \/>\ndisposal. We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning equipment at<br \/>\nthe expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many<br \/>\nfactors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location,<br \/>\ntime of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct). The residual<br \/>\nvalue for rental equipment is affected by factors which include equipment age and amount of<br \/>\nusage.<br \/>\nDepreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period.<br \/>\nDepreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management\u2019s ongoing<br \/>\nassessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at<br \/>\nthe time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle and<br \/>\nequipment sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters,<br \/>\nfuel prices and incentives offered by manufacturers of new cars. These key factors are<br \/>\nconsidered when estimating future residual values and assessing depreciation rates. As a result<br \/>\nof this ongoing assessment, we make periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue<br \/>\nearning equipment in response to changing market conditions.7<br \/>\n7 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 10-K, December 31, 2013.<br \/>\nHERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.<br \/>\nChristopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis<br \/>\nRev.

Exhibit 11<br \/>\nprovides this information for each year between 2006-13.<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s car rental fleet comprised program and non-program cars. Program cars were purchased by<br \/>\nrental car companies under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs,<br \/>\nautomotive manufacturers agreed to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation<br \/>\nrate on cars during a specified time period. Non-program cars, in contrast, were subject to residual price<br \/>\nrisk at the time of disposal. Exhibit 12 shows Hertz\u2019s program cars purchased as a percentage of total<br \/>\ncars purchased for each year between 2006-13 by the U.S. and international operations. Exhibit 13<br \/>\nprovides summary data on used car market pricing trends.<br \/>\nData Collection<br \/>\nTo begin her analysis, Devins pulled together Hertz\u2019s revenue earning equipment balances and<br \/>\nassociated depreciation expense amounts between 2006-13, doing the same for Avis Budget Group,<br \/>\nHertz\u2019s main publicly-traded competitor, for comparison purposes (Exhibit 14). As she was putting the<br \/>\nfinishing touches on her spreadsheet, Devins contemplated what significance, if any, depreciation<br \/>\nwould ultimately have in Hertz\u2019s larger than previously announced accounting issues.<br \/>\nHERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.<br \/>\nChristopher Noe, Lauren Pully, and Cate Reavis<br \/>\nRev.
