For the second quarter 2021, Hertz Global Holdings generated total revenues of $1.9 billion, reflecting strong leisure travel demand coupled with tighter fleet inventory. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $639 million resulting in a 34% margin. The improvement resulted from strong revenues, efficient fleet management and over $400 million of structural, and recurring, cost reduction. The company generated a net loss of $168 million or $1.05 loss per share, which included $633 million of reorganization expenses.
“Hertz delivered an outstanding second quarter as travel continued to rebound,” said Paul Stone, Hertz Global president and chief executive officer. “With resurgent demand and tight supply across the industry, we remained agile in managing our fleet to meet customers’ needs. At the same time, we benefited from the important operational and financial improvements we made through our restructuring process. Our improved financial position and capital structure give us the flexibility and resources to build upon our strengths and capitalize on accelerating momentum in the quarters ahead.
“We are optimistic about a sustained recovery and travel rebound. We are carefully managing our fleet accordingly to deliver superior customer experience while optimizing profitability.”
Hertz Global emerged from its Chapter 11 process on June 30, 2021 as a well-capitalized company with the flexibility and resources to pursue exciting new growth opportunities. The Company anticipates a re-IPO, which includes hosting an investor roadshow and relisting on a major exchange by year-end 2021.
