    Investment ThesisMultiple Drivers of Value

    We recommend investors buy Hertz (HTZ) stock with a

    target share price of $36.00, which represents ~52% upside

    from the current share price

    Four Main Points to Investment Thesis

    The market significantly underestimates the impact of

    Hertz's recent merger with Dollar Thrifty, which marks the

    completion of a ten-year consolidation that dramatically

    improves the competitive dynamics of the industry

    The market underestimates the levers Hertz can pull to

    counter the negative impact of falling used car prices

    Hertz has strong revenue growth opportunities in the U.S.

    and will realize significant revenue and cost synergies

    through its acquisition of Dollar Thrifty

    Divestiture of non-core Equipment Rental business would

    unlock substantial value by deleveraging the balance sheet

    Pricing Environment Already Improving

    Hertz's acquisition of Dollar Thrifty marks thecompletion of an industry consolidation that,

    over the past ten years, has gone from six

    separate rental car companies to only three

    today

    The three remaining players now have incentive

    to focus on profitability instead of market share

    Market Underestimates Improved Pricing Environment

    5

    We made a strategic decision to minimize our

    participation with less profitable commercial accounts.

    Hertz CEO in February 2013

    Overly Conservative Pricing Guidance Strong Pricing Environment w/ Price Signaling

    We're seeing our competitors move for profitability, rather

    than share, and that has a positive impact on all of us.

    Avis CFO in February 2013

    We've been very aggressive in initiating price increases

    over the last 4 months or so and I think that's had a

    positive impact. And we've seen a fairly good matching of

    increases by both Hertz and the Enterprise.

    Avis CFO in March 2013

    Impact of Pricing on Valuation

    On pricing, it's very conservative assumptions where we

    really don't try to assume any price increases in our

    models.

    Hertz CEO in April 2013

    1% increase in U.S. RPD results in a 6% increase in share

    price

    Management's revenue and EPS guidance assumes nopricing growth

    Sell-side analyst consensus estimates assume a 1% increase

    in pricing

    One of the headlines I'd like to make is we don't want to

    gain share by reducing price. We want to gain share by

    increasing value, and that's how we're doing it.

    Non-Program Car Purchases Reduce Fleet Costs

    Sharp Decline in Program Car Purchases:Since 2006,the percentage of program cars purchased fell from 61%

    to just 19% today. Program cars are repurchased by car

    manufacturers for a specific price

    Save 1% on auto purchase price

    Allow for more profitable resale channels

    Significant Shift Away from Auctions:Since 2009,

    auction sales fell from 88% of non-program car sales to

    just 33% today

    Only Halfway Through this Successful Transition:

    Depreciation per month should be flat (even if used car

    prices fall) as fewer program cars are purchased and

    more profitable channels are utilized

    Strong Growth Opportunities in U.S.

    12% share in a three-player market:Since 2006,Hertz has increased its off-airport locations by more

    than 60% and expects a 9.6% increase in 2013. It has a

    significant opportunity to capture more share from the

    insurance replacement market

    Significant opportunity to expand Dollar Thrifty to

    off-airport locations

    7

    Off-Airport Locations14% yoy Growth

    Hourly Rentals30% yoy growth

    Value Segment25% yoy Growth

    Dollar Thrifty will capitalize on value trend: The valuesegment is the fastest growing on-airport rental car market

    with over 25% growth in 2012. We expect the Dollar

    Thrifty brands to continue double-digit growth in 2013-

    2014

    Hertz On Demand (hourly rentals) will expand to 3,500

    locations by Q3 2013:We expect little to no

    cannibalization from the continued expansion of this

    business

    All of Hertz's ~500,000 U.S. vehicles will have OnDemand technology by the end of FY2014

    24/7 Video Kiosks Increase Efficiency

    Expands Hours to 24/7:Self-serve kiosks allows 24/7

    rentals, which increases fleet utilization in a cost-effective

    manner

    Allows for Rapid Expansion of Off-Airport Network:

    Asset-light model will increase returns on capital. Kiosksmake it significantly easier to move into body shops, auto

    dealerships, and hotels

    Significantly Reduces Labor Costs:Live agents

    maintain a high-quality, personal experience for customers

    in a cost-effective manner

    Significant Synergies from Dollar Thrifty Acquisition

    8

    Revenue Synergies ~$300 million Cost Synergies ~$300 million

    Leverage Global Partners: Hertz's travel partners such asairlines, hotels, and AAA currently represent 30% of Hertz

    revenue. These partners have strong interest in adding the

    Dollar Thrifty brands. Lufthansa and AAA have already

    started to offer all three brands

    Europe Corporate Expansion: Dollar Thrifty currently

    has no corporate locations in Europe. Hertz is adding Dollar

    Thrifty to its European locations

    Expand Off Airport: Hertz is adding the Dollar Thriftybrands to the majority of its off-airport locations

    Fleet: With the combined company, Hertz will seesavings from more efficient buying, selling, and

    optimizing vehicle usage during ownership

    IT:Savings driven by the roll-out of advanced

    technology to Dollar Thrifty

    Procurement:The combined company will see savings

    from more efficient non-fleet purchasing

    HERC Divestiture20% Incremental Upside

    9

    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

    We've always maintained

    the position that if there

    was a reason to divest it

    that was shareholder

    friendly, we're not resistant

    to looking at other things

    and other variables in

    terms of the equipment

    rental business.

    Valuation Analysis

    Hertz currently trades at 7.4x forwardEV/EBITDA versus its pre-crisis average

    of 8.5x

    On a forward P/E basis, Hertz currently

    trades at 12.5x

    This is a significant discount relative

    to its historical average forward P/E of

    14.0x and pre-crisis average of 15.4x

    Based on an average of P/E, EV/EBITDA

    and SOTP analysis, we arrive at a target

    share price of $36 or +52% upside to

    today's share price

    Key Management Cash Return to Shareholders

    Elyse DouglasChief Financial Officer

    Mark P. FrissoraChairman & CEO

    Strong FCF generation would allow Hertz to pay downcorporate debt and achieve target Net Debt/EBITDA ratio

    of 1.6x by 2014

    Management has repeatedly asserted that Hertz will return

    cash to shareholders once it meets its target leverage ratio

    We expect Net Debt/EBITDA to fall below 1.6x in 2014,

    which should be followed by significant dividend and/or

    share repurchase programs

    Payout of 35% of FCF as share repurchase couldaccelerate EPS growth by an incremental +6%

    There was one time when we had a customer complain to

    corporate. Frissora happened to be in town that week and

    showed up here unannounced in jeans and a sweater to

    figure out with us a way we could resolve the issue.

    Risks and Mitigants

    12

    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

  • 5/19/2018 Investment Idea - Hertz Forward

    13/93

    Investment Recommendation: Buy Hertz at $23

    13

    Industry consolidation dramatically improves pricing environment

    Used car market risk is misunderstood

    Strong revenue growth opportunities in the U.S. and significant revenue and costsynergies from Dollar Thrifty acquisition

    Divestiture of Equipment Rental segment would unlock substantial value

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

    Post-Consolidation Pricing Environment

    24

    With respect to pricing, we are seeing a pretty healthy

    environment toward the end of the fourth quarter and into

    the first quarter. And I think there are a few things that areprobably driving it. The first is that we've redoubled our

    own efforts to push for pricing wherever we can. And I think

    those are having an impact. I think we have an industry that

    is generally right-fleeted. And then on top of that, I think

    we' re seeing our competitors move for profi tabili ty, rather

    than share or other potential objectives, and that has a

    positive impact on all of us.

    - Avis CFO in March 2013

    We've been very aggressive in i ni tiating pr ice increases

    over the last 4 monthsor so (post the Dollar Thrifty

    acquisition), and I think that's had a positive impact. What

    we watch for is the extent to which our competitors react to

    that with increases. And we've seen a fair ly good matchingof i ncreases by both H ertz and the Enterpr ise.

    Avis CFO in March 2013

    One of the headlines I'd like to make is we don' t want to

    gain share by reducing pr ice. We want to gain share by

    increasing value, and that' s how we' re doing i t.

    Hertz CEO in April 2013

    We made a strategic decision to minimize our parti cipation

    with less prof itable commercial accounts. In January

    commercial revenue per day was actually positive comparedwith the prior year.

    Hertz CEO in February 2013

    Unprecedented RAC pricing is converting skeptics to

    believers. U.S. RAC pricing turned positive just after HTZ-

    DTG, fuelling the bull case for a new era of pri cing power

    (top 3 players control 98% of U.S. on-airport). U.S. pricing

    was +5% in Jan and also strong in Feb/Mar. Avis initiated

    another price increase effective for Apr 8, which wasquickly followed by Enterprise.

    The real issue becomes whether anyone is taking a very

    different view on pricing and not moving pricing up when

    the rest of the industry is, because that clearly can have animpact. I think in an environment where there are three

    competitors rather than four, there's obviously a li ttle bit

    less r isk of that happening.

    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

    Supply is definitely going to increase. The off-retail

    lease volume is a competitive impact.

    Tom Webb, Manheim's Chief Economist

    The widely expected supply increase is around the corner

    Supply Increase is Around the Corner Competing supply of off-lease vehicles expected tosignificantly rise in 2013-2014

    Off-lease volumes are set to increase 55% by 2014.Off-lease vehicles directly compete with Hertz's

    supply of used cars, which put downward pressure

    on residuals

    Ford, GM, and Chrysler drastically reduced vehicle

    leases during the financial crisis. Off-lease volumes

    today, which lag lease originations by 33 months,

    are close to an all-time low. We expect them toincrease 6% in 2013 and 27% in 2014

    By 2014, we expect an increase of 550,000 off-lease

    vehicles, which represents 42% of 2012 car rental

    sales

    Despite the significant increase, we expect off-lease

    volume in 2014 to be less than that in 2008

    We are in a new era of structurally higher used car residual values

    Healthier OEMS = Healthier Residuals Shift to Online Purchases = Healthier Residuals

    Restructured OEMs have abandoned destructive

    practices

    Rationalized capacity at Big 3 automakers means

    that practices that destroyed residual values will be

    gone: big incentives, high dealer inventories,

    excessive lease subsidies, and short rental cycles

    Rental car companies now have rational relationships

    with OEMs

    The shift to a risk model means that OEM excess

    capacity is no longer pushed through to rental car

    companies, which leads to a more rational supply

    and protects residual values

    Online buying makes retail and direct-to-dealer

    channels much easier to operate and more likely to

    succeed

    Rapid changes in technology has changed the way

    dealers and individuals buy cars

    58% of used car buyers say the Internet was themost influential element in their vehicle search

    Online buying transforms local markets to national

    markets

    Fewer national used car market inefficiencies leads

    to structurally higher residual values

    The average distance between buyers and sellers is190 miles for local auction purchases vs. 439 miles

    for online purchases

    While people are forecasting this headwind

    from a drop in the Manheim Index, we are not

    experiencing it. It's due to the shift in channels,

    where we're selling the cars and how we're

    selling them, and that's improving our fleet

    costs.

    Is [lower depreciation] sustainable? We

    believe it is sustainable in our business model.

    We believe that used cars are probably the most

    liquid currency out there, and that if you look

    at over the last 40 years used cars have always

    held their value. I mean, after 9/11 they

    bounced back in four months. After 2008, 2009

    they bounced back in six months to higher

    levels than they were before.

    We feel really good about fleet costs

    continuing to go down, based on only beingabout 50% of the way deployed on the car

    channel shift.

    We expect the shift to retail/Rent2Buy to

    continue to offset the decline in residuals

    1. Retail Sales Cut Out the Middleman 2. Innovative Sales Process Provides Advantage

    Hertz cuts out the cost of the auction for the buyer

    and seller, which enables it to charge the lowest retail

    prices

    Average retail price is 20% below Blue Book Value

    Instead of 30-minute test drives, Hertz offers

    refundable 3-day test drives, which customers love

    and traditional car dealerships cannot offer

    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 attractivevalue proposition to retail customers, we believe

    Rent2Buy will ultimately become an effective

    competitor to CarMax

    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

    Better price, recent model years, the ability to 'trybefore you buy,' hassle-free buying, a warranty, and

    buying the cream of the crop

    While off-airport revenue per day is lower than that inairport markets, rental periods are longer, leading to

    higher utilization and lower costs

    The insurance replacement market is particularly

    attractive, with long rental periods and stable revenues

    and profits, even in economic downturns

    Changes in technology (Hertz On Demand, kiosks)

    reduce the up-front investment costs, making thismarket expansion particularly attractive

    We expect off-airport locations to grow by >10% per

    year through 2015

    Off-Airport vs. On-Airport Cost Differentials

    iPhone AppExpressRent Kiosk A parking space is the only requirement

    Hertz can use technology to leapfrog Enterprise on off-

    airport markets

    Opens up body shops, car dealerships, and hotels to

    Hertz rental cars. Requires a modest $6000 kiosk

    investment

    Increasing consumer preference towards mobile

    applications reduces costs

    70% of Hertz On Demand customers used mobile apps

    Mobile check-in increases labor productivity and

    customer satisfaction

    How it works

    iPhone App: Text message after plane lands notifies

    customer where their car is located. Eliminates the

    need to stop by the counter 24/7 kiosk: Videophone connects to agent in

    Oklahoma, City who guides customer through the

    process. Customer scans driver's license at kiosk

    Investors underestimate the impact of these volume-

    enhancing product and service improvements.

    Donlen is the bestremarketer I've ever seen.

    Former Hertz Licensee

    Our Donlen acquisition has turnedout to be a much better acquisition

    than we anticipated. The revenue

    synergies that we're getting out of

    this acquisition are large.

    CEO Mark Frissora

    Donlen Fleet Management Solutions Donlen gives Hertz an end-to-end solution for itscustomers. No other rental car company offers this

    solution

    Significant revenue synergies continue to be realized

    E.g. Hertz Value Leaseexpands 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

    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%

    Equipment Rental (HERC) Business Overview

    44

    Business

    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 adealer 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 HERCs

    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 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

    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 (NYSE:URI) is the market leader with 13% share Sunbelt Rentals (LSE:AHT) is 2ndwith 5% market share

    HERC is 3rdwith 4% market share

    Management has previously discussed the possibility of divesting HERC

    Potential buyers include United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, and private equity

    firms

    We spoke with an analyst who asked the CEO if he foresees any FTCissues 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

    should:

    Issue debt at HERC level, transfer the proceeds of debt issuance to parent

    (Hertz Global Holdings), and then spin-off HERC Sell HERC after six months to qualify for tax-free treatment under IRS

    Section 355(e) Safe Harbor rule

    An outright sale of HERC could also be pursued based on the cost-basis

    (undisclosed) of HERCs historical acquisitions

    45

    We've always maintained the

    position that if there was a reason

    to divest it that was shareholder

    friendly, we're not resistant to

    looking at other things and othervariables in terms of the equipment

    rental business.

    Sum-of-the-Parts Valuation

    58

    We use a forward EV/EBITDA range of 6.0x-8.0x

    for the Car Rental segment

    Our base case multiple is Hertz's current NTMEV/EBITDA of 7.4x

    However, we believe Hertz's valuation could

    re-rate to its historic average EV/EBITDA of

    8.5x given industry dynamics, improving

    pricing, strong execution by management team

    especially on integration of Dollar Thrifty, and

    efficient capital allocation with potential forcash returns in the next 18 months

    We use a forward EV/EBITDA range of 5.0x-6.5x

    for the Equipment Rental segment

    The Equipment Rental companies currently

    trade at an average 6.2x forward EV/EBITDA

    and historically traded in the 2.4x-7.5x range

    Industrys Improved Pricing Sustainable?

  • 5/19/2018 Investment Idea - Hertz Forward

    70/93

    Industry s Improved Pricing Sustainable?

    70

    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 industrys 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:

    The industrys price spoiler has historically been Dollar Thrifty, who is now owned by Hertz

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

    and Hertz

    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

    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

    Why Hertz Over Avis?

  • 5/19/2018 Investment Idea - Hertz Forward

    72/93

    Why Hertz Over Avis?

    72

    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:

    Management: Hertzs CEO Mark Frissora is extremely well-regarded in the industry. Since Frissora joined in July2006, Hertz has beaten managements 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 Frissoras tenure as CEO of Tenneco (1999-2006), the company dramatically improved its operating

    efficiency and financial performance, which translated into significant increases in Tennecos market

    capitalization. In 2004, Tenneco earned the industrys top award for auto supply companies, which recognized

    the company for delivering the highest shareholder returns158% in one year and 745% in three yearsofany global automotive supplier

    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

    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

    74/93

    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

    Debunking Myths About Hertz

    75/93

    Debunking Myths About Hertz

    75

    Myth #1

    Car rental is too

    capital intensive

    Myth #2

    Car rental is a

    commodity business

    Myth #3

    Used car prices are

    a big unknown

    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.

    Hertz's subpar profitability from 2005-2009 was the result of inefficient operations, excesscapacity in U.S. auto makers, and poor fleet management. These issues are now fixed.

    Over 37% of transactions were made by Hertz Gold Club Members. Gold Club Members are

    3x more likely to rent from Hertz over other companies.

    The company has a 99.3% retention rate on corporate contracts.

    More than 70% of Hertz's fleet is acquired using fleet debt, which is non-recourse to the

    company. Fleet interest expense is akin to cost of goods sold. Acquiring fleet does not tie up

    significant capital.

    Non-fleet capex is relatively small, especially given technological changes that allow Hertz to

    expand its network without major infrastructure investments.

    Over 40.5 million used cars were sold in the U.S. in 2012the used car market is extremely

    large, efficient, and liquid. After 9/11, used car prices rebounded in four months. After thefinancial crisis, prices bounced back in six months.

    All rental car companies are equally affected by changes in used car prices. If prices fall more

    than expected, rental car companies can raise prices to maintain profitability (72% R-squared).

    Lower used car prices are correlated with lower new car prices (81% R-squared).
