Avis Budget Group, Inc.
Parsippany, New Jersey
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Avis Budget Group, Inc.
Parsippany, New Jersey
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Table of Contents
Vehicles - Depreciation Expense - United States Risk Vehicles - Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company records rental vehicles at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of the vehicles is recorded net of incentives and allowances from manufacturers. Rental vehicles acquired by the Company outside of the manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are referred to as risk vehicles and the carrying values of these risk vehicles are depreciated based upon the vehicles’ estimated residual values at their expected dates of disposition. The estimation of residual values for risk vehicles requires the Company to make assumptions regarding factors which include, but are not limited to, the anticipated age of the vehicles and market conditions for used vehicles at the time of disposal. The Company regularly evaluates estimated residual values and adjusts vehicle depreciation rates as appropriate. Any adjustments to depreciation are made prospectively.
Given the volume of risk vehicles in the United States and the significant estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management to calculate the estimated residual values of these risk vehicles, auditing the estimated residual values of the United States risk vehicles and related vehicle depreciation expense required extensive audit effort to develop an independent expectation of residual values and depreciation expense, and a high degree of auditor judgment was required when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to management’s assumptions regarding the impact of future consumer demand and general economic conditions on expected pricing of used vehicles. Additionally, auditing the calculation of the estimated residual values for United States risk vehicles was challenging due to the volume of data inputs utilized in management’s calculation, including third-party data, historical sales data, and data specific to the Company’s current fleet.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures to assess the reasonableness of the estimated residual values and vehicle depreciation expense related to the United States risk vehicles included the following, among others:
• We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of the Company’s methods, significant assumptions and judgments to calculate the estimated residual values of risk vehicles and the expected dates of disposition.
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over vehicle depreciation expense related to risk vehicles and management’s review of the significant assumptions and judgments to calculate the estimated residual values of risk vehicles, including those over the Company’s monitoring of residual values and used vehicle market conditions.
• We assessed the reasonableness of the estimated residual values of risk vehicles by performing the following procedures on a selection of risk vehicles:
– We tested the underlying third-party data and historical data that served as the basis for the Company’s calculation of the estimated residual values to evaluate the reasonableness of the inputs.
– We tested significant assumptions and judgments used in the Company’s calculation by developing an independent expectation of residual values and compared them to the estimated residual values calculated by the Company. Our independent expectation was calculated using our professional judgment by reference to third-party data, information produced by the Company, and inquiries of management.
– We searched for contradictory evidence associated with the significant assumptions and judgments made by management based on our knowledge of the industry and review of third-party industry data.
• We developed an independent expectation of depreciation expense based on, but not limited to, the vehicles’ age and results of our residual value testing and compared it to the amount recorded by the Company as depreciation expense.

Self-Insurance Reserves - Public Liability and Property Damage Claims - United States - Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company is self-insured for public liability and property damage claims. These self-insurance reserves represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimated reserve requirements for such claims are calculated on an undiscounted basis using actuarial methods and various assumptions which include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience and projected loss development factors. The required liability is subject to adjustment in the future based upon changes in claims experience, including changes in the number of incidents for which the Company is ultimately liable and changes in the cost per incident.
Given the volume of public liability and property damage claims in the United States and the subjectivity of estimating the related self-insurance reserves for reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported due to uncertain exposure and projected loss development, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether these self-insurance reserves were appropriately recorded as of December 31, 2025 required a significant degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our actuarial specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to United States public liability and property damage self-insurance reserves included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s review of significant assumptions, key inputs and methods used to calculate the estimate of the reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported.
• We tested the underlying data that served as the basis for the Company’s actuarial analysis, including historical claims, to test the reasonableness of the inputs to the actuarial estimate.
• With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we developed an independent estimate of the self-insurance reserves, including assessment of loss data and claim development factors, and compared our estimate to management’s estimate. In addition, we performed the following:
– Evaluated the reasonableness of the methodologies used in management’s estimate based on actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry associated with such liabilities.
– Evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions used in management’s estimate by comparing prior-year assumptions of expected development and ultimate loss to actuals incurred during the current year to identify potential bias in the determination of these liabilities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – United States Electric Vehicles – Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Assets are grouped at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In the current year, as a result of the Interpace Ventures transaction, the Company changed their fleet strategy for their United States electric vehicles, which shortened the useful life of the impacted vehicles. As a result, the Company performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the impacted vehicles, to their carrying value and concluded, that for certain vehicles, the carrying value exceeded the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of those vehicles. For purposes of the recoverability test, the electric vehicles were aggregated into asset groups based on make, model and year of the impacted vehicles. The test was performed as of December 31, 2025. The Company used a market approach to determine the fair value of the impacted vehicles, utilizing prices for similar assets in active markets (Level 2). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge.

Table of Contents
Given the volume of electric vehicles in the United States and the significant assumptions made by management to evaluate the impacted vehicles for impairment, we performed audit procedures requiring a high degree of auditor judgment and extensive audit effort, to (1) evaluate whether management appropriately identified events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the impacted vehicle assets may not be recoverable; (2) evaluate management's determination of asset groups at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows; (3) evaluate management’s recoverability test by comparing the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the impacted vehicles to their carrying value and, when applicable, (4) evaluate the fair value estimates for the impacted vehicles.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to impairment of long-lived assets of United States electric vehicles included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over (1) management’s identification of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of the impacted vehicles may not be recoverable, including management’s review of forecasted future cash flows, and (2) management’s review of the methodology in determining the fair value estimate of the impacted vehicles.
• We evaluated whether management appropriately identified events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying amounts of the impacted vehicle assets may not be recoverable.
• We evaluated management’s determination of asset groups at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows.
• We tested management’s recoverability test by comparing the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the impacted vehicles to their carrying value by performing the following:
– Tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s analysis.
– Compared relevant information to historical data.
– Assessed management’s assumptions used when determining the expected rental revenue, operating expenses and residual values expected at the time of disposition of the impacted vehicles as part of their recoverability test.
• We tested the fair value estimates for the impacted vehicles.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology applied and fair value determined for the impacted vehicles by testing the methodology applied and measurable inputs used, and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions, except per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides mobility solutions to businesses and consumers worldwide. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which Avis Budget Group, Inc. directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”).
We operate the following reportable business segments:
• Americas - consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in the areas in which we do not operate directly.
• International - consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in the areas in which we do not operate directly.
We have completed the business acquisitions discussed in Note 6 – Acquisitions to these Consolidated Financial Statements. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements from the dates of acquisition.
We present separately the financial data of our vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities as the assets under vehicle programs are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our vehicle programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of our Company and all entities in which we have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest and variable interest entities for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate joint venture activities when we have a controlling interest and record non-controlling interests within stockholders’ equity and the statement of comprehensive income equal to the percentage of ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling party. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management is required in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates are based on management’s evaluation of historical trends and other information available when the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and may affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenues primarily by providing vehicle rentals and other related products and mobility services to commercial and leisure customers, as well as through licensing of our rental brands. Other related products and mobility services include sales of collision and loss damage waivers, under which we agree to relieve a customer from financial responsibility arising from vehicle damage incurred during the rental; additional/supplemental liability insurance or personal accident/effects insurance products which provide
F-13
Table of Contents
customers with additional protections for personal or third-party losses incurred; and products for driving convenience such as fuel service options, roadside assistance services, electronic toll collection services, additional driver options, and one-way rentals . We also receive payment from customers for certain operating expenses that we incur, including airport concession fees that are paid by us in exchange for the right to operate at airports and other locations, as well as vehicle licensing fees. In addition, we collect membership fees in connection with our car sharing business.
We combine all lease and non-lease components of our vehicle rental contracts for which the timing and pattern of transfer are the same and the lease component meets the classification of an operating lease. Vehicle rentals and other related products and mobility services are recognized evenly over the period of rental, which is on average approximately five days (See Note 3 – Leases).
Licensing revenues principally consist of royalties paid by our licensees and are recorded as the licensees’ revenues are earned (over the rental period). We renew license agreements in the normal course of business and occasionally terminate, purchase or sell license agreements. In connection with ongoing fees that we receive from our licensees pursuant to license agreements, we are required to provide certain services, such as training, marketing and the operation of reservation systems.
We exclude from the measurement of our transaction price any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer. As a result, revenue is recorded net of such taxes collected. Revenues and expenses associated with fuel, airport concessions and vehicle licensing are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and operating expenses. Membership fees related to our car sharing business are generally nonrefundable, are deferred and recognized ratably over the period of membership.
Revenues are recognized under Leases (Topic 842) with the exception of royalty fee revenue derived from our licensees and revenue related to our customer loyalty program, which were $ 202 million, $ 246 million, and $ 187 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by geography:
Year Ended December 31,

Deferred Revenue
We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, including amounts that are refundable. In addition, certain customers earn loyalty points on rentals, for which we defer a portion of our rental revenues generally equivalent to the estimated retail value of points expected to be redeemed. We estimate points that will never be redeemed based upon actual redemption and expiration patterns. Loyalty points generally expire five years from when they were earned or after 12 months of member inactivity. Future changes to expiration assumptions or expiration policy, or to program rules, may result in changes to deferred revenue as well as recognized revenues from the program.
The following table presents changes in deferred revenue associated with our customer loyalty program:
2025 2024
Balance as of January 1 $ 50 $ 67
Revenue deferred 59 61
Revenue recognized ( 54 ) ( 78 )
Balance as of December 31 (a)
$ 55 $ 50
_______
(a) As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 22 million and $ 27 million was included in accounts payable and other current liabilities, respectively, and $ 33 million and $ 23 million in other non-current liabilities, respectively. Non-current amounts are expected to be recognized as revenue within two to three years .
Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the prevailing monthly average rate of exchange. The related translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (See Note 16 – Stockholders' Equity). We have designated our euro-denominated Notes as a hedge of our investment in euro-denominated foreign operations and, accordingly, record the effective portion of gains or losses on this net investment hedge in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as part of currency translation adjustments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Program Cash and Restricted Cash
We consider highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Program cash primarily represents amounts specifically designated to purchase assets under vehicle programs and/or to repay the related debt, as such we consider it a restricted cash equivalent. The following table provides a detail of cash and cash equivalents, program and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
As of December 31,

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation (non-vehicle related) is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Useful lives are as follows:
Buildings up to 30 years
Furniture, fixtures & equipment 3 to 10 years
Capitalized software 3 to 7 years
Buses and support vehicles 4 to 15 years
We capitalize the costs of software developed for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed and management (i) commits to funding the project and (ii) believes it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized on a straight-line basis commencing when such software is ready for its intended use. The net carrying value of software developed or obtained for internal use w as $ 99 million and $ 126 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess, if any, of the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, if any, over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill, but assess it for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of their respective reporting units exceed their fair values. We perform our annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year at the reporting unit level. We assess goodwill for such impairment by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value using the present value of expected future cash flows. When appropriate, comparative market multiples and other factors are used to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.
Other intangible assets, primarily trademarks, with indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of an other intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are evaluated each reporting period to determine if circumstances warrant a revision to these lives.
There was no impairment to goodwill or other intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2023. During our annual impairment assessment performed as of October 1, 2024, we determined that the carrying value of our Zipcar trademark, which is an unamortized intangible asset included within our Americas reportable segment, exceeded its fair value. We determined the fair value of the Zipcar trademark using the relief-from-royalty method (Level 3), which is a form of the income approach. This method applies a royalty rate to projected income to quantify the benefit of owning the intangible asset rather than paying a royalty for use of the asset. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the fair value of the trademark included future revenues, a discount rate and a royalty rate. As a result, we recognized an impairment of $ 28 million within long-lived asset impairment and other related charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. There was no impairment to goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Assets are grouped at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, in conjunction with the Interpace Ventures transaction mentioned below under Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Non-Controlling Interests , we reviewed our fleet strategy, specific to certain United States EV rental car vehicles, and as a result shortened the useful life associated with such vehicles. We considered this change in strategy to be a triggering event that indicated the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the impacted vehicles to their carrying value and concluded, that for certain vehicles, the carrying value exceeded the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of those vehicles. For purposes of the recoverability test, the vehicles were aggregated into asset groups based on make, model, and year of the vehicles. The test was performed as of December 31, 2025, and we used a market approach to determine the value of the impacted vehicles, utilizing prices for similar assets in active markets (Level 2). During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a $ 518 million non-cash impairment within long-lived asset impairment and other related charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within our Americas reportable segment.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we changed our fleet strategy, specific to United States and Canadian rental car vehicles, to accelerate certain fleet rotations in order to decrease the age of our fleet for competitive reasons, and accordingly, we shortened the useful life associated with such vehicles. We considered this change in strategy to be a triggering event that indicated the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the impacted vehicles to their carrying value and concluded, that for certain vehicles, the carrying value exceeded the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of those vehicles. For purposes of the recoverability test, the vehicles were aggregated into asset groups based on make, model and year of the vehicles. The test was performed as of November 30, 2024, and we used a market approach to determine the value of the impacted vehicles, utilizing prices for similar assets in active markets (Level 2). During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $ 2.3 billion non-cash impairment within long-lived asset impairment and other related charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within our Americas reportable segment.
There was no impairment to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2023.
In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that a long-lived asset is impaired, we will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs.
Vehicles
Vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of the vehicles is recorded net of incentives and allowances from manufacturers. We acquire a portion of our rental vehicles pursuant to repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. Under these programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price and date, or guarantee the depreciation rate for a specified period of time, subject to certain eligibility criteria (such as car condition and mileage requirements). We depreciate vehicles such that the net book value on the date of return to the manufacturers is intended to equal the contractual guaranteed residual values, thereby minimizing any gain or loss.
Rental vehicles acquired outside of manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are depreciated based upon their estimated residual values at their expected dates of disposition, after giving effect to anticipated conditions in the used car market. Any adjustments to depreciation are made prospectively.
F-17
Table of Contents
The estimation of residual values requires us to make assumptions regarding the age and mileage of the car at the time of disposal, as well as expected used vehicle auction market conditions. We regularly evaluate estimated residual values and adjust depreciation rates as appropriate. Differences between actual residual values and those estimated result in a gain or loss on disposal and are recorded as part of vehicle depreciation at the time of sale. Vehicle-related interest expense amounts are net of vehicle-related interest income of $ 13 million, $ 12 million, and $ 34 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We classify vehicles as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable. Vehicles held for sale are separately presented at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are no longer depreciated. We reassess their fair value each reporting period until disposed.
As of December 31, 2024, in connection with the change to our fleet strategy described above, we wrote down the carrying value of certain vehicles held for sale within our Americas reportable segment to fair value (Level 2). For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a charge of $ 180 million, which is included within long-lived asset impairment and other related charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We completed the sale of a majority of these vehicles primarily through our standard disposition channels during 2025. There were no similar charges during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2023. To the extent there are further changes in market conditions or the performance of our long-lived assets, there is a possibility that we could incur additional related costs in the future.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising and digital marketing costs are generally expensed in the period incurred and are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, advertising costs were $ 94 million, $ 77 million, and $ 86 million, respectively. In addition, during 2025, 2024 and 2023, digital marketing costs were $ 95 million, $ 90 million, and $ 86 million, respectively.
Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. As a result of the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we account for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a component of current period income tax expense in the year incurred. The GILTI has been replaced and renamed the Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (“NCTI”) under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) during 2025 and became effective January 1, 2026.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure the fair value of assets and liabilities and disclose the source for such fair value measurements. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows: Level 1, which refers to assets and liabilities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, which refers to assets and liabilities for which significant other observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which are valued based on significant unobservable inputs.
The fair value of our financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (Level 1 inputs). In some cases where quoted market prices are not available, prices are derived by considering the yield of the benchmark security that was issued to initially price the instruments and adjusting this rate by the credit
F-18
Table of Contents
spread that market participants would demand for the instruments as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs). In situations where long-term borrowings are part of a conduit facility backed by short-term floating rate debt, we have determined that its carrying value approximates the fair value of this debt (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, receivables, program cash, and accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
Our derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and commodity contracts, and are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives entered into by us are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques, as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying exposure. We principally use discounted cash flows to value these instruments. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, currency exchange rates, our interest rate yield curves and counterparties, credit curves, counterparty creditworthiness and commodity prices. These factors are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are used as part of our overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and fuel costs. As a matter of policy, derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item. The changes in fair value of a derivative that is designated as either a cash flow or net investment hedge is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Amounts related to our derivative instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the nature of the hedged item (principally operating activities).
Currency Transactions
Currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are generally included in operating expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations; however, the net gain or loss of currency transactions on intercompany loans and the unrealized gain or loss on intercompany loan hedges are included within interest expense related to corporate debt, net.
Self-Insurance Reserves
The Consolidated Balance Sheets include $ 508 million and $ 451 million of liabilities associated with retained risks of liability to third parties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Such liabilities relate primarily to public liability and third-party property damage claims, as well as claims arising from the sale of ancillary insurance products including, but not limited to, additional/supplemental liability, personal effects protection and personal accident insurance. These obligations represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimated reserve requirements for such claims are recorded on an undiscounted basis utilizing actuarial methodologies and various assumptions which include, but are not limited to, our historical loss experience and projected loss development factors. The required liability is also subject to adjustment in the future based upon changes in claims experience, including changes in the number of incidents for which we are ultimately liable and changes in the cost per incident. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an unprecedented adjustment to our self-insurance reserves for allocated loss adjustment expense. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
The Consolidated Balance Sheets also include liabilities of $ 46 million and $ 50 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to workers’ compensation, health and welfare and other employee benefit programs. The liabilities represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported, utilizing actuarial methodologies similar to those described above. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Our policy is to record compensation expense for stock options, and restricted stock units that are time- and performance-based, for the portion of the award that vests. Compensation expense related to market-based restricted stock units is recognized provided that the requisite service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock units using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of stock-based and cash unit awards containing a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key inputs and assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model include the stock price of the award on the grant date, the expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the expected term, the expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical and implied volatility of our publicly traded, near-the-money stock options, and the valuation period is based on the vesting period of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and, since we do not currently pay or plan to pay a recurring dividend on our common stock, the expected dividend yield was zero .
Business Combinations
We use the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are recognized if fair value can be reasonably estimated at the acquisition date. The excess, if any, of (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, over (ii) the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Gains and losses on the re-acquisition of license agreements are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within transaction-related costs, net, upon completion of the respective acquisition. Costs incurred to effect a business combination are expensed as incurred, except for the cost to issue debt related to the acquisition.
We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is generally estimated by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation technique, based on a range of possible future results (Level 3). Any changes in contingent consideration are recorded in transaction-related costs, net.
Transaction-related Costs, net
Transaction-related costs, net are classified separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs are comprised of expenses primarily related to acquisition-related activities such as due-diligence and other advisory costs, expenses related to the integration of the acquiree’s operations with our own operations, including the implementation of best practices and process improvements, non-cash gains and losses related to re-acquired rights, expenses related to pre-acquisition contingencies and contingent consideration related to acquisitions.
Investments
We account for investments for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not have a controlling interest, using the equity method of accounting and record our proportional share of net income or loss within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We assess equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. Any difference between the carrying value of the equity method investment and its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge if the loss in value is deemed other than temporary. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had investments with a carrying value of $ 130 million and $ 100 million, respectively, recorded within other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Aggregate realized gains and losses on equity method investments are recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded net gains from our equity method investments of $ 21 million, $ 16 million, and $ 12 million, respectively. In July 2024, we

received a $ 7 million dividend, and i n December 2025, we purchased additional shares for $ 1 million, relating to our equity method investment in our Greece licensee. S ee Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for our equity method investment in our former subsidiary.
Divestitures
We classify long-lived assets and liabilities to be disposed of as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. We initially measure assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and we reassess their fair value each reporting period until disposed. When the divestiture represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results, the disposal is presented as a discontinued operation.
Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Non-Controlling Interests
We review our investments to determine if they are VIEs. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. Entities that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. We will reconsider our original assessment of a VIE upon the occurrence of certain events such as contributions and redemptions, either by us, or third parties, or amendments to an entity’s governing documents. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider whether we are deemed to be a VIE’s primary beneficiary. We account for VIEs where we are not the primary beneficiary under the equity method.
Our former subsidiary, Avis Mobility Ventures LLC (“AMV”), is a VIE. We lack the ability to direct the significant activities of AMV and are not its primary beneficiary. As such, we account for AMV under the equity method. See Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for our VIE investment in our former subsidiary.
Interpace Ventures Transaction
On September 30, 2025, we received a contribution of $ 12 million from a non-controlling interest party (Class A Member) in exchange for approximately 17 % in a new joint venture establishing Interpace Ventures LLC (“Interpace Ventures”). On December 30, 2025, we completed the joint venture transaction and Interpace Ventures subsequently funded its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpace Funding LLC (“Interpace Funding”), with the total contribution from both its Class A members, the third-party investors in the amount of $ 183 million, and the Company, as the Class B member. Interpace Funding was established to acquire, own, operate, manage, lease, and sell vehicles. This transaction was undertaken as part of our efforts to monetize a portion of our available tax credits. Additionally, in conjunction with this transaction, we reviewed our fleet strategy, specific to certain United States EV rental car vehicles, and as a result shortened the useful life associated with such vehicles. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We consolidate joint venture activities when we have a controlling financial interest. We determined that Interpace Ventures and its related subsidiaries are VIEs and that we are the primary beneficiary. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810-10, all entities created as a result of the Interpace Ventures transaction have been consolidated. Based on the substance of the transaction, the non-controlling interests are presented as temporary equity.
The Company has determined the allocation of economics between the controlling party and third-party investors should follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting, based on governing provisions in each respective limited liability company agreement, instead of respective ownership percentages. Under the HLBV method, the amounts of income and loss attributable to the non-controlling interest reflects changes in the amount the owners would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date under the respective liquidation provisions, assuming the net assets of these entities were liquidated at the recorded amounts, after taking into account any capital transactions, such as contributions and distributions, between the entities and the owners.
F-21
Table of Contents
As specified in the respective limited liability company agreements, the Class A members’ interests are redeemable based upon events that are not solely within our control. As such, the non-controlling interests were classified as redeemable non-controlling interests of $ 74 million and presented outside of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. See Note 16 – Stockholders' Equity for the components of redeemable non-controlling interests.
Nonmarketable Equity Securities
We classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. We apply the measurement alternative, which allows these investments to be recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Any changes in value are recorded within operating expenses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our nonmarketable equity securities within non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were not material and no material adjustments were made to the carrying values of these securities during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.

Lessee
We have operating and finance leases for rental locations, corporate offices, vehicle rental fleet and equipment. Many of our operating leases for rental locations contain concession agreements with various airport authorities that allow us to conduct our vehicle rental operations on site. In general, concession fees for airport locations are based on a percentage of total commissionable revenue as defined by each airport authority, some of which are subject to minimum annual guaranteed amounts. Concession fees other than minimum annual guaranteed amounts are not included in the measurement of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and are recorded as variable lease expense as incurred. Our operating leases for rental locations often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses.
We lease a portion of our vehicles under operating leases. As of December 31, 2025, we have no guarantees of residual values for vehicles under operating leases at the end of their respective lease terms. As of December 31, 2024, we had guaranteed up to $ 30 million of residual values for vehicles under operating leases at the end of their respective lease terms. We believe that, based on current market conditions, the net proceeds from the sale of these vehicles at the end of their lease terms will equal or exceed their net book values and therefore have not recorded a liability related to guaranteed residual values.

Diluted EPS was computed using the treasury stock method for non-vested stock. In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, our number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes the effect of non-vested stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. This occurs when a net loss is reported and the effect of using dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes our outstanding common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (shares in millions):

5. Restructuring and Other Related Charges
In 2024, we initiated a global restructuring plan to further right size our operations (“Global Rightsizing”). The costs associated with this initiative are primarily related to the operational scaling of processes, locations, and lines of business. We expect further restructuring expense of approximately $ 35 million related to this initiative to be incurred in 2026.
In 2022, we initiated a restructuring plan to focus on consolidating our global operations by designing new processes and implementing new systems (“Cost Optimization”). In 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan to exit our operations in Brazil by closing rental facilities, disposing of assets and terminating personnel (“Brazil”). These initiatives are complete.

In connection with Mr. Ferraro’s departure, we recorded other related charges of approximately $ 14 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
6. Acquisitions
McNicoll Vehicle Hire
In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of McNicoll Vehicle Hire, a vehicle rental company in Scotland specializing in van and car rentals, for approximately $ 17 million, net of acquired cash. The investment enabled us to expand our footprint of vehicle rental services in Scotland. The excess of the purchase price over preliminary fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to our International reportable segment. In connection with this acquisition, approximately $ 10 million was recorded to goodwill, $ 4 million was recorded to trade names, and $ 1 million was recorded to customer relationships. The trade names and customer relationships will be amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately 10 years. The goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes. In 2024, we finalized our accounting for this acquisition. As a result, we recorded an additional $ 2 million to the goodwill connected to this acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents the additional excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Licensees
In June 2023, we completed the acquisition of a licensee in North America for approximately $ 14 million, plus approximately $ 20 million for acquired fleet. In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of a second licensee in North America for approximately $ 10 million, plus approximately $ 4 million for acquired fleet. These investments were in-line with our strategy to re-acquire licensees when advantageous to expand our footprint of Company-operated locations. The acquired fleet for each acquisition was financed under our existing financing arrangements. In connection with these acquisitions in June 2023 and October 2023, approximately $ 14 million and $ 10 million, respectively, was recorded to other intangibles related to license agreements, which are being amortized over weighted average useful lives of approximately five years and three years , respectively. Differences between the preliminary allocation of purchase prices and the final allocations for these acquisitions were not material.

As of December 31, 2025, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 6.7 billion. The net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite utilization period pursuant to the Tax Act. Such net operating loss carryforwards are primarily related to accelerated depreciation of our U.S. vehicles. Currently, we do not record valuation allowances on the majority of our U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards as there are adequate deferred tax liabilities that could be realized within the carryforward period. As of December 31, 2025, we had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 1.3 billion, the majority of which has an indefinite utilization period.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) published a proposal for the establishment of a global minimum tax rate of 15% (the “Pillar Two rule”), effective as of fiscal 2024. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released a comprehensive Side-by-Side package with respect to Pillar Two. This new guidance introduces new safe harbors and simplifications for U.S. and other multinational companies which would limit or prevent other countries from imposing tax on the U.S. profits of American companies. We are closely monitoring developments of the Pillar Two rule as the OECD continues to refine its technical guidance and member states implement tax laws and regulations based on Pillar Two proposals. Pillar Two did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, making permanent key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including full expensing on qualified property, and modifications to the business interest expense limitation. As a result of this enactment, our deferred tax balances as December 31, 2025 reflect the new law, resulting in the deferral a significant portion of current federal tax over future periods. As our income tax provision includes both current and deferred components, the overall net impact to our Consolidated Statements of Operations is not significant. We are continuing to monitor additional provisions of the OBBBA that become effective through 2027 for potential future impact.
The following is a reconciliation of the gross amount of our unrecognized tax benefits:

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2025, the 2007 through 2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the federal tax authorities. The 2012 through 2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination by various state and local tax authorities. In significant foreign jurisdictions, the 2017 through 2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination by their respective tax authorities.
Substantially all of the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, if recognized, would affect our provision for (benefit from) income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, our unrecognized tax benefits were offset by tax loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets in the amount of $ 29 million.

(a) Pursuant to the agreements governing the disposition of certain subsidiaries in 2006, we were entitled to indemnification for certain predisposition tax contingencies. As of December 31, 2024, liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with these tax contingencies were included in current income taxes payable within accounts payable and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(b) We recognize potential interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense related to corporate debt, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Penalties incurred during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, were not significant and were recognized in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes .

Debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding . Avis Budget Rental Car Funding, an unconsolidated bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose limited liability company, issues privately placed notes to investors as well as to banks and bank-sponsored conduit entities. Avis Budget Rental Car Funding uses the proceeds from its note issuances to make loans to our wholly-owned subsidiary, AESOP Leasing LP (“AESOP Leasing”), on a continuing basis. AESOP Leasing is required to use the proceeds of such loans to acquire or finance the acquisition of vehicles used in our rental car operations. By issuing debt through the Avis Budget Rental Car Funding program, we pay a lower rate of interest than if we had issued debt directly to third parties. Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated, as we are not the “primary beneficiary” of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the obligation to absorb the potential losses or receive the benefits of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding’s activities since our only significant source of variability in the earnings, losses or cash flows of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is exposure to our own creditworthiness, due to our loan from Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. Because Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated, AESOP Leasing’s loan obligations to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding are reflected as related party debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also have an asset within Assets under vehicle programs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which represents securities issued to us by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. AESOP Leasing is consolidated, as we are the “primary beneficiary” of AESOP Leasing; as a result, the vehicles purchased by AESOP Leasing remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We determined we are the primary beneficiary of AESOP Leasing, as we have the ability to direct its activities, an obligation to absorb a majority of its expected losses and the right to receive the benefits of AESOP Leasing’s activities. AESOP Leasing’s vehicles and related assets, which as of December 31, 2025, appro xim ate $ 16.2 billion and some of which are subject to manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements, collateralize the debt issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. The assets and liabilities of AESOP Leasing are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets within assets under vehicle programs and liabilities under vehicle programs, respectively. The assets of AESOP Leasing, included within assets under vehicle programs (excluding the investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC—related party) are restricted. Such assets may be used only to repay the respective AESOP Leasing liabilities, included within Liabilities under vehicle programs, and to purchase new vehicles, although if certain collateral coverage requirements are met, AESOP Leasing may pay dividends from excess cash. The creditors of AESOP Leasing and Avis Budget Rental Car Funding have no recourse to our general credit. We periodically provide Avis Budget Rental Car Funding with non-contractually required support, in the form of equity and loans, to serve as additional collateral for the debt issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding.

Table of Contents
The business activities of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding are limited primarily to issuing indebtedness and using the proceeds thereof to make loans to AESOP Leasing for the purpose of acquiring or financing the acquisition of vehicles to be leased to our rental car subsidiaries and pledging its assets to secure the indebtedness. Because Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated by us, its results of operations and cash flows are not reflected within our financial statements.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In 2006, we completed the spin-offs of our Realogy and Wyndham subsidiaries (now known as Anywhere Real Estate, Inc., and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Inc. and Travel + Leisure Co., respectively). We do not believe that the impact of any resolution of pre-existing contingent liabilities in connection with the spin-offs should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity, as Anywhere Real Estate, Inc., Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Inc. and Travel + Leisure Co. have agreed to assume responsibility for these liabilities.
We are also involved in litigation that is primarily related to the businesses of our former subsidiaries, including Realogy and Wyndham. We are entitled to indemnification from such entities for any liability resulting from such litigation.
In September 2014, Dawn Valli et al. v. Avis Budget Group Inc., et al. was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs seek to represent a purported nationwide class of certain renters of vehicles from our Avis and Budget subsidiaries from September 30, 2008 through the present. The plaintiffs seek damages in connection with claims relating to alleged misrepresentations and omissions concerning charging customers for traffic infractions and related administrative fees. In October 2023, plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was denied as to their proposed nationwide class and granted as to a subclass, created at the Court’s discretion, of Avis Preferred and Budget Fastbreak members. In February 2026, plaintiffs agreed to limit the class to the period from September 30, 2008 through April 2016. We have been named as a defendant in other purported consumer class action lawsuits, including a class action filed against us in New Jersey seeking damages in connection with a breach of contract claim, which the Company intends to vigorously defend.
In 2025, two shareholders filed derivative suits in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the Company’s directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s fleet strategy in 2024. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. On October 23, 2025, plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their cases without prejudice, and subsequently sought court approval to do so. The court ordered that notice of the voluntary dismissals be provided to Avis shareholders, and the Company anticipates that notice will be disseminated in February 2026.
In September 2025, we received a net pro rata settlement distribution of approximately $ 114 million in connection with the Company’s participation in a class action settlement in the In re Automotive Parts Antitrust Litigation, No. 2:12-md-02311 (E.D. Mich.), which is included within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We are currently involved, and in the future may be involved, in claims and/or legal proceedings, including class actions, and governmental inquiries that are incidental to our vehicle rental and car sharing operations, including, among others, contract and licensee disputes, competition matters, employment and wage-and-hour claims, insurance and liability claims, intellectual property claims, business practice disputes and other regulatory, environmental, commercial and tax matters. In addition, we are a defendant in a number of legal proceedings for personal injury arising from the operation of our vehicles.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or that we have valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur. We estimate that the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of current legal proceedings in which it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred could, in the aggregate, be up to approximately $ 40 million in excess of amounts accrued as of December 31, 2025. We do not believe that the impact should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Commitments to Purchase Vehicles
We maintain agreements with vehicle manufacturers under which we have agreed to purchase approximately $ 6.8 billion of vehicles from manufacturers over the next 12 months, a $ 0.5 billion increase compared to December 31, 2024, financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle-backed debt and cash received upon the disposition of vehicles. Certain of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers satisfying their obligations under their respective repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements.
Other Purchase Commitments
In the normal course of business, we make various commitments to purchase other goods or services from specific suppliers, including those related to marketing, advertising, computer services and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $ 272 million of purchase obligations, which extend through 2029.
Concentrations
Concentrations of credit risk as of December 31, 2025 include risks related to our repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers, and primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that have been disposed of, but for which we have not yet received payment from the manufacturers.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We maintain a liability for asset retirement obligations. An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform certain activities in connection with the retirement, disposal or abandonment of assets. Our asset retirement obligations, which are measured at discounted fair values, are primarily related to the removal of underground fuel storage tanks at our rental facilities. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include liabilities for asset retirement obligations of $ 26 million and $ 25 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby we agree to indemnify another party, among other things, for performance under contracts and any breaches of representations and warranties thereunder. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets, businesses or activities, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) access to credit facilities and use of derivatives and (v) issuances of debt or equity securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees under licensing agreements, (iv) financial institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative contracts and (v) underwriters and placement agents in debt or equity security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many may survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these guarantees, nor are we able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees as the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications provided to landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by us, we maintain insurance coverage that mitigates our potential exposure.

18. Stock-Based Compensation
Our Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock- or cash-based awards to employees, directors and other individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares reserved for grant of awards under the plan is 22.5 million , with 2.9 million shares available as of December 31, 2025. We typically settle stock-based awards with treasury shares.
Time-based awards generally vest ratably over a three-year period following the date of grant, and performance-based awards generally vest three years following the date of grant based on the attainment of performance goals, both of which are subject to a service condition.
Stock Unit Awards
Stock unit awards entitle the holder to receive shares of common stock upon vesting on a one -to-one basis, and certain performance-based RSUs vest based upon the level of performance attained.
As part of our declaration and payment of a special cash dividend in December 2023, we granted additional RSUs to our award holders with unvested shares as a dividend equivalent, which has been deferred until, and will not be paid unless, the shares of stock underlying the award vest.

19. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Savings Plans
We sponsor several defined contribution savings plans in the United States and certain foreign subsidiaries that provide certain of our eligible employees an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement. We match portions of the contributions of participating employees on the basis specified by the plans. Our contributions to these plans were $ 32 million, $ 31 million, and $ 29 million during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans in the United States and in certain foreign subsidiaries with some plans offering participation in the plans at the employees’ option. Under these plans, benefits are based on an employee’s years of credited service and a percentage of final average compensation. However, the majority of the plans are closed to new employees and participants are no longer accruing benefits.
The funded status of the defined benefit pension plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period, but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

To select discount rates for our defined benefit pension plans, we use a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of such plans, to yield curves constructed from portfolios of AA-rated fixed-income debt instruments. We use the average yields of the hypothetical portfolios as a discount rate benchmark.
Our expected rate of return on plan assets of 6.00 % and 6.63 % for the U.S. plans and non-U.S. plans, respectively, used to determine pension obligations and pension costs, are long-term rates based on historic plan asset returns in individual jurisdictions, over varying long-term periods combined with current market expectations and broad asset mix considerations.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets had projected benefit obligations of $ 212 million and $ 330 million, respectively, and plan assets of $ 123 million and $ 236 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets had accumulated benefit obligations of $ 211 million and $ 327 million, respectively, and plan assets of $ 124 million and $ 236 million, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for all plans was $ 575 million and $ 561 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect to contribute approximately $ 10 million to the plans in 2026.
Our defined benefit pension plans’ assets in the U.S. are invested in collective investment trusts in 2025 and primarily in mutual funds in prior years, while our assets in foreign subsidiaries are primarily invested in mutual funds. These may change in value due to various risks, such as interest rate and credit risk and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of the pension plans’ investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes would materially affect the amounts reported in our financial statements.
The defined benefit pension plans’ investment goals and objectives are managed by us or Company-appointed and member-appointed trustees with consultation from independent investment advisors. While the objectives may vary slightly by country and jurisdiction, collectively we seek to produce returns on pension plan investments, which are based on levels of liquidity and investment risk that we believe are prudent and reasonable, given prevailing capital market conditions. The pension plans’ assets are managed in the long-term interests of the participants and the beneficiaries of the plans. A suitable strategic asset allocation benchmark is determined for each plan to maintain a diversified portfolio, taking into account government requirements, if any, regarding unnecessary investment risk and protection of pension plans’ assets. We believe that diversification of the pension plans’ assets is an important investment strategy to provide reasonable assurance that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the pension plans. As such, we allocate assets among traditional equity, fixed income (government issued securities, corporate bonds and short-term cash investments) and other investment strategies. Furthermore, assets are viewed as liability hedging assets or growth assets. Investment grade fixed income assets that mirror key characteristics of the pension liability and are anticipated to respond to market forces in a similar fashion to the pension liability are deemed to be liability hedging assets. Growth assets are all other assets within the portfolio that are anticipated to provide return above that of the pension liability.
The growth component’s purpose is to provide a total return that will help preserve the purchasing power of the assets. The pension plans hold various mutual funds and collective investment trusts that invest in equity securities and are diversified among funds that invest in large cap, small cap, growth, value, international stocks as well as funds that are intended to “track” an index, such as the S&P 500, and sub-investment grade fixed income. The growth investments in the portfolios will represent a greater assumption of market volatility and risk as well as provide higher anticipated total return over the long term. The growth component is expected to approximate 15 %- 25 % of the plans’ assets.
The purpose of the liability hedging component is to provide a deflation hedge, to reduce the overall volatility of the pension plans’ assets in relation to the liability and to produce current income. The pension plans hold mutual funds and collective investment trusts that invest in securities issued by governments, government agencies and corporations. The liability hedging component is expected to approximate 60 %- 70 % of the plans’ assets.
The purpose of the alternative investment component is to provide diversification and risk reduction through less correlated investment strategies with the goal of enhanced returns and downside protection. Alternative strategies are not used if they are designed solely to enhance return and/or employ significant leverage.

Table of Contents
Diversification of asset categories, investment styles and managers is central to managing investment risk. We diversify our pension plans’ assets of various foreign subsidiaries in alternative investments. Our pension plans’ assets in the U.S. are not invested in alternatives. The alternative investment component is expected to approximate 5 %- 15 % of the plans’ assets.

Multiemployer Plans
We contribute to a number of multiemployer plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover a portion of our employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (i) assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; (iii) if we elect to stop participating in a multiemployer plan, we may be required to contribute to such plan an amount based on the under-funded status of the plan; and (iv) we have no involvement in the management of the multiemployer plans’ investments. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we contributed $ 15 million, $ 10 million, and $ 10 million, respectively, to multiemployer plans.

20. Financial Instruments
Risk Management
Currency Risk . We use currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates associated with certain of our non-U.S.-dollar denominated receivables and forecasted royalties, forecasted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries and forecasted non-U.S. dollar denominated acquisitions. We primarily hedge a portion of our current-year currency exposure to the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars, the euro and the British pound sterling. The majority of forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they economically hedge. We have designated our euro-denominated notes as a hedge of our investment in euro-denominated foreign operations.
The estimated net amount of existing gains or losses we expect to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings for cash flow and net investment hedges over the next 12 months is not material.
Interest Rate Risk . We use various hedging strategies including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to create what we deem an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. We use interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage the risk related to our floating rate corporate debt and our floating rate vehicle-backed debt. We record the changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. We record the gains or losses related to freestanding derivatives, which are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, currently in earnings and are presented in the same line of the income statement expected for the hedged item. We estimate that approximately $ 14 million of gain currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months.
Commodity Risk. We periodically enter into derivative commodity contracts to manage our exposure to changes in the price of fuel. These instruments were designated as freestanding derivatives and the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings and are presented in the same line of the income statement expected for the hedged item.
Credit Risk and Exposure . We are exposed to counterparty credit risks in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to various agreements and sales transactions. We manage such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of such counterparties and by requiring collateral in certain instances in which financing is provided. We mitigate counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts by monitoring the amount for which we are at risk with each counterparty, periodically evaluating counterparty creditworthiness and financial position, and where possible, dispersing our risk among multiple counterparties.
There were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties as of December 31, 2025 or 2024, other than (i) risks related to our repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers, and primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that were disposed of, but for which we have not yet received payment from the manufacturers (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), (ii) receivables from Realogy and Wyndham related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with their disposition, and (iii) risks related to leases which have been assumed by Realogy but of which we are a guarantor. Concentrations of credit risk associated with trade receivables are considered minimal due to our diverse customer base. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.

21. Segment Information
Our chief executive officer, who also serves as our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information of our operating segments. We aggregate certain of our operating segments into our reportable segments. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the management structure of the organization, the nature of services provided by our operating segments, the geographical areas and economic characteristics in which the segments operate, and other relevant factors.
Our CODM evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as income (loss) from continuing operations before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization; long-lived asset impairment and other related charges; other fleet charges; restructuring and other related charges; early extinguishment of debt costs; non-vehicle related interest; transaction-related costs, net; legal matters, net, which primarily includes amounts recorded in excess of $ 5 million, related to unprecedented self-insurance reserves for allocated loss adjustment expense, class action lawsuits and personal injury matters; non-operational charges related to shareholder activist activity, which includes third-party advisory, legal and other professional fees; COVID-19 charges, net; cloud computing costs; other (income) expense, net; severe weather-related damages in excess of $ 5 million, net of insurance proceeds; and income taxes. In the first quarter of 2025, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude other fleet charges. We did not revise prior years' Adjusted EBITDA amounts because there were no other charges similar in nature to these.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and in comparing our results from period to period. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it allows them to assess our results of operations and financial condition on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
