HERC Divestiture – 20% Incremental Upside
 HERC operates in an extremely cyclical and fragmented industry, follows an acquisitive growth strategy, and has caused a
chronic drag on Hertz's consolidated ROIC relative to the car rental business
 We believe divesting HERC would be most prudent for the company as it would:
 Significantly deleverage Hertz's balance sheet and help the company reach investment grade corporate debt rating sooner

 Lower interest expense and unlock value by causing an immediate EPS accretion in the range of $0.14-$0.19 plus
additional value of $2.90 per share
 Allow deployment of FCF towards a share buyback and/or dividend program

 Allow Hertz management to focus solely on the core and higher-return car rental business, Dollar Thrifty integration, and
new growth areas
 Allow HERC management to focus on growing the business organically and through acquisitions

 Potential buyers of HERC include United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, and private equity firms

Risks and Mitigants
 A drop in global GDP or enplanements could materially impact Hertz's profitability
 Hertz has been profitable through cycles. During phases of weak demand, Hertz sells down its fleet to cut
capacity and maintain stable pricing. In 2008 and 2009, Hertz reduced its fleet size by 1% and 10% and
earned $237 and $199 (EBT) respectively
 We believe that Hertz's shift to off-airport locations, especially the non-cyclical insurance market, mitigates
this risk

 Our expectations of a cooperative oligopoly could be incorrect


 We believe that there is a high probability that Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise will avoid destructive price wars,
especially given the changing incentives and price signaling seen from Hertz

 Given Hertz's high financial leverage, rising interest rates may adversely impact profitability and FCF conversion
 The option to sell HERC and use the sale proceeds to pay down debt mitigates this risk

12
Investment Recommendation: Buy Hertz at $23

Multiple drivers to realize Hertz's intrinsic value of $36 per share

1 Industry consolidation dramatically improves pricing environment

2 Used car market risk is misunderstood

3 Strong revenue growth opportunities in the U.S. and significant revenue and cost
synergies from Dollar Thrifty acquisition

4 Divestiture of Equipment Rental segment would unlock substantial value

Structural Shift in Rental Car Pricing Environment
 Historically, the major auto manufacturers (GM, Chrysler, Ford) overproduced cars and used the rental
car market as a means to unload excess production
 This resulted in consistent over-fleeting and under-utilization in the car rental market
 In order to increase utilization, car rental companies were incentivized to lower prices, ultimately
resulting in a highly competitive pricing environment marked by low returns

 As a result of the major restructurings of GM, Chrysler, and Ford, auto manufacturers have become
much more rational with their production
 This has significantly mitigated over-fleeting in the car rental market and increased utilization
– Car rental utilization rates across the industry are at their all-time high
– High utilization dis-incentivizes car rental companies from competing on price
– Renewed focus on returns and profitability

Restructuring in the Auto Manufacturing Industry marks a

Remarketing Channel Overview – Retail/Rent2Buy
1. Retail Sales Cut Out the Middleman 2. Innovative Sales Process Provides Advantage
 Hertz cuts out the cost of the auction for the buyer  Instead of 30-minute test drives, Hertz offers
and seller, which enables it to charge the lowest retail refundable 3-day test drives, which customers love
prices and traditional car dealerships cannot offer
 Average retail price is 20% below Blue Book Value  Prices are non-negotiable (no-haggle price)

3. Retail Sales Growth Obscured by Accounting 4. Strong Reviews from Customers


 With the steady supply of used cars and an attractive  “Better price, recent model years, the ability to 'try
value proposition to retail customers, we believe before you buy,' hassle-free buying, a warranty, and
Rent2Buy will ultimately become an effective buying the cream of the crop”
competitor to CarMax  “The prices are VERY good”
 Retail stores have grown from nine in 2011 to over 30
today
 Continued growth in retail sales is only reflected in a
lower depreciation cost, a much less visible metric
than sales growth

We expect the shift to retail/Rent2Buy to


continue to offset the decline in residuals

34
Remarketing Channel Overview – Dealer Direct
 Hertz has significantly built up its Direct-to-Dealer sales
infrastructure
 Direct-to-Dealer sales force increased from 15 in 2011

to over 120 today


 Dealer Direct increases fleet utilization by advertising
active rentals
 Attractive value proposition for dealers
 $45 buyer fee compared to $300-$500 from Manheim,

the largest used car auction


 No change in dealer behavior required. Enterprise has a

long history of selling direct to dealers


 Strong growth despite relatively infant infrastructure
 This channel didn't exist in 2009, but now represents

40% of remarketing. The channel more than doubled


from 2011-2012
 Only 6% of vehicles have condition reports and pictures

– Vehicles with condition reports and pictures are


eight times more likely to sell, according to
Manheim
– Management has indicated that most Dealer Direct
vehicles will have electronic condition reports by
2014
We expect the shift to Dealer Direct sales to increase utilization and decrease fleet cost

 Significant Advantages Over ZipCar Hertz On Demand is Self Serve
 Scale: approximately 500,000 U.S. rental cars by
2014 vs. 9,700 for ZipCar
 No membership required and free to join, compared
to Zipcar's $25 application fee and $60/year
 Second-mover advantage
– Cheaper and better technology
– Does not have to educate the public about car
sharing

 Increases Fleet Utilization


 Car-sharing customers and traditional rent-a-car
customers do not overlap
 24/7, short-term car sharing minimizes idle time

 Reduces Costs

Growth Initiative – Donlen Fleet Management
 Donlen gives Hertz an end-to-end solution for its Donlen Fleet Management Solutions
customers. No other rental car company offers this
solution
 Significant revenue synergies continue to be realized
 E.g. Hertz Value Lease expands Donlen's product
offering to large companies by leveraging Hertz's
rental car network
 Revenue growth is accelerating. We expect 2012
revenues of ~$460 million to grow by 16% to $534
million
 Donlen's expertise in remarketing is an
underappreciated asset
 Our primary research discovered that Donlen has
significant expertise in sourcing and remarketing
that will be a substantial benefit to Hertz as it
continues to move away from program cars
“Donlen is the best “Our Donlen acquisition has turned
remarketer I've ever seen.” out to be a much better acquisition
– Former Hertz Licensee than we anticipated. The revenue
synergies that we're getting out of
this acquisition are large.”

Dollar Thrifty Acquisition Terms
Hertz completed its acquisition of Dollar Thrifty in November 2012

 $87.50 per share purchase price


 Equity Value of $2.6 billion
Purchase Price  Corporate Enterprise Value of $2.3 billion
 2012E EV/Corp EBITDA multiple of 7.8x (based on mid-point of DTG
2012E Corp. EBITDA guidance of $285 million to $310 million )

 100% cash consideration


Deal Structure  Antitrust clearance required Hertz to divest its Advantage brand
 Advantage divestiture (~$30 million of Corp. EBITDA)

 Highly attractive transaction for HTZ owners – EPS accretion & positive EVA
 Including impact of Advantage divestiture (~$30 million of Corp.
Transaction Benefits EBITDA)
 Estimated $600 million in synergies
 Acquisition multiple of 2.6x EV/EBITDA (including synergies)

42
Synergies from Dollar Thrifty Acquisition
 Hertz operated primarily in the premium segment of the car rental market
 The Dollar Thrifty acquisition gives them a leading brand in the faster growing mid-tier and value market or the
“leisure” segment
 Revenue synergies of $300M per year and cost synergies of $300M per year. Revenue synergies have incremental
margins of 20-30%
 By 2015, these synergies would contribute $0.57 in incremental EPS. $1.5B NPV of incremental operating profits

Equipment Rental (HERC) Business Overview
Business HERC Revenue Mix by Markets
 HERC offers a broad range of equipment for rental in the U.S., Canada, France,
Spain, China and Saudi Arabia. Ancillary to its rental business, it is also a
dealer of certain brands of new equipment in the U.S. and Canada
 Customers range from local contractors to large industrial plants. As of
December 31, 2012, no customer accounted for more than 1.5% of HERC’s
global sales
 HERC revenues and margins are cyclical due to high exposure to the
construction and industrial markets
 U.S. represents approximately 70% of worldwide revenues
Fleet HERC Fleet by Equipment Type

 HERC acquires its equipment from a variety of manufacturers. The equipment


is typically new at the time of purchase and is not subject to any repurchase
program
 The per-unit acquisition cost of rental equipment varies from over $200,000 to
under $100. As of December 31, 2012, the average per-unit acquisition cost
(excluding small equipment purchased for less than $5,000 per unit) for rental
fleet was approximately $38,000
 Average age of worldwide rental fleet is 43 months

44
Equipment Rental Divestiture to Unlock Value
 HERC operates in an extremely fragmented industry, with the top 10 North
America rental companies making up only 30% of revenue United
Rentals
 United Rentals (NYSE:URI) is the market leader with 13% share 13% Sunbelt
 Sunbelt Rentals (LSE:AHT) is 2nd with 5% market share 5%
HERC
 HERC is 3rd with 4% market share 4%
 Management has previously discussed the possibility of divesting HERC
 Potential buyers include United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, and private equity
firms Other
78%
 We spoke with an analyst who asked the CEO if he foresees any FTC
issues with regards to an acquisition of HERC by United Rentals or
Sunbelt Rentals. He replied that has already looked into it and there would
not be any issues
 We believe a monetizing spinoff would maximize shareholder value. Hertz “We've always maintained the
position that if there was a reason
should:
to divest it that was shareholder
 Issue debt at HERC level, transfer the proceeds of debt issuance to parent friendly, we're not resistant to

Appendix E: Additional Analysis

69
Industry’s Improved Pricing Sustainable?
 Today, the U.S. car rental industry has three players that make up 95% of the market: Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise. From
the blatant price signaling in earnings call and conference call transcripts, it is clear that Hertz and Avis are focused on
profitability and keeping the industry’s car rental rates high. The main question is whether or not privately-held
Enterprise will follow.

 There are four main reasons why we believe Enterprise will cooperate with Hertz and Avis’ pricing increases:

1  The industry’s price spoiler has historically been Dollar Thrifty, who is now owned by Hertz

2  Since the Dollar Thrifty acquisition closed in November 2012, Enterprise has matched the price increases by Avis
and Hertz

3  It no longer makes sense to lower prices because none of the three remaining players have dominant market share.
If Enterprise lowers prices, Hertz and Avis will follow and no one will gain market share. Lower pricing would
only result in lower profitability for all three players

4  Due to auto OEM restructurings and more rational car production, car rental companies finally have right-sized
fleets. With utilization rates at all time highs, there is no longer incentive to lower prices to raise utilization rates

71
Why Hertz Over Avis?
 Because of the improved pricing environment, we believe both Hertz and Avis are attractive investment opportunities.
However, we favor Hertz over Avis for the following reasons:

1  Management: Hertz’s CEO Mark Frissora is extremely well-regarded in the industry. Since Frissora joined in July
2006, Hertz has beaten management’s guidance every year except for in 2008 and the company has beaten
consensus estimates for the past 15 quarters in a row. Prior to joining Hertz in July 2006, Frissora had a
phenomenal track record at Tenneco

– During Frissora’s tenure as CEO of Tenneco (1999-2006), the company dramatically improved its operating
efficiency and financial performance, which translated into significant increases in Tenneco’s market
capitalization. In 2004, Tenneco earned the industry’s top award for auto supply companies, which recognized
the company for delivering the highest shareholder returns – 158% in one year and 745% in three years – of
any global automotive supplier

2  Dollar Thrifty Acquisition: After taking into account synergies, Hertz paid less than 3.0x EBITDA to acquire
Dollar Thrifty, which we believe was a very prudent deal for management

3  Zipcar Acquisition: In March 2013, Avis acquired Zipcar for $500 million to enter the Hourly Rentals segment.
Hertz acquired technology to implement hourly rental capabilities in its fleet and will have its entire fleet upgraded
with hourly rental technology by 2014 for a fraction of the cost

73
Economic Downturn
 The rental car industry is not as cyclical as intuition would suggest.
 During phases of weak demand, car rental companies cut down their fleet size by selling cars
 This reduces capacity, balancing supply-demand and keeping pricing stable
 Hertz has been profitable through business cycles
 During 2008 and 2009, Hertz generated pre-tax income of $237 and $199 respectively by reducing fleet size by
1% and 10% respectively to maintain supply-demand balance
 Furthermore, Hertz's mix shift to off-airport locations, especially the non-cyclical insurance market, mitigates risk
of cyclical earnings and cash flows

74
Debunking Myths About Hertz

 Car rental is a good business, as evidenced by a long history of relatively stable market share
among competitors and a recent history of >10% ROICs.
Myth #2  Hertz's subpar profitability from 2005-2009 was the result of inefficient operations, excess
capacity in U.S. auto makers, and poor fleet management. These issues are now fixed.
