AND SUBSIDIARIES Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations , comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have 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, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 18, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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 consolidated 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. 76 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Calculation of Non-Program Depreciation on Revenue Earning Vehicles in the Americas Rental Car (“RAC”) Segment Description of the Matter For the year ended December 31, 2024, total depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net in the Americas RAC segment was $3,198 million. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management’s ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, the effect of these conditions on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding period for revenue earning vehicles. The Company’s revenue earning vehicles are comprised of vehicles that are subject to and are not subject to vehicle repurchase programs (“program vehicles” and “non-program vehicles,” respectively). For program vehicles, the manufacturers guarantee the depreciation rate during established repurchase or auction periods, versus non-program vehicles where the Company estimates the period that the Company will hold the asset and the residual value of the vehicle at the expected time of disposal. Auditing the Company’s calculation of depreciation for non-program vehicles related to the Americas RAC segment was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty and management's judgment to determine the estimated residual values at the expected time of disposal. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to management’s assumptions related to market conditions and their effect on estimated residual values. Additionally, auditing the calculation of depreciation was challenging due to the volume of data inputs utilized in management’s calculation and their assessment of significant assumptions, including historical sales data and estimated residual values from multiple sources, including third-party sources, at varying levels of disaggregation. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s measurement of depreciation expense for non-program vehicles related to the Americas RAC segment. For example, we tested controls over management’s quarterly review of the depreciation rates, which included their procedures to validate the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the calculation and their assessment of significant assumptions, specifically the estimated residual values of non-program vehicles at the expected disposition related to the Americas RAC segment. To test the depreciation calculation for non-program vehicles, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data by comparing historical sales data and vehicle information used in the calculation or in the assessment of significant assumptions to external sources and the Company’s records. We evaluated reasonableness of the residual value estimates made by management through reviewing third-party data, the Company's vehicle sales history, subsequent vehicle sales, and inquiries of management. We considered potential contrary evidence associated with the significant assumptions and judgments made by management related to its residual value estimates based on our review of third-party industry information. Valuation of Self-insured Liabilities – Public Liability, Property Damage, and Liability Insurance Supplement related to the Americas Rental Car (“RAC”) operations Description of the Matter As disclosed in Notes 2 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s self-insured liabilities primarily include public liability, property damage, and liability insurance supplement. The Company records liabilities for these matters based on actuarially determined estimates using historical claims experience. The liabilities include estimates for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis. The estimated self-insured liabilities as of December 31, 2024 were $491 million related to the Americas RAC operations. The adequacy of the liabilities is monitored quarterly based on accident claim history. If the Company’s estimates change or if actual results differ, the amount of the recorded liabilities are adjusted to reflect these results. Auditing the public liability, property damage, and liability insurance supplement components of the self-insured liabilities reserves related to the Americas RAC operations is complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the complexity in the evaluation of the ultimate losses using actuarial methods. 77 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s public liability, property damage, and liability insurance supplement self-insured liabilities estimation process related to the Americas RAC operations. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the methods and the assumptions that are used in these self-insured liabilities calculations and the completeness and accuracy of the data underlying these self-insured liabilities. To test the valuation of the public liability, property damage, and liability insurance supplement self-insured liabilities reserves related to the Americas RAC operations, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, involving our internal actuarial specialists to assist us in developing an independent range and evaluating the methods used by management and the reasonableness of the assumptions used. We compared the Company's reserve to estimates of the liability developed by our actuarial specialists based on the underlying claims data and independently selected assumptions. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 18, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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 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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Tampa, Florida February 18, 2025 79 Table of Contents THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of The Hertz Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Hertz Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations , comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1— Background Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation , Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-operated and franchisee locations in the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. The Company also sells vehicles through Hertz Car Sales. Note 2— Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Principles The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries, and its VIEs, as applicable. The consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries, and its VIEs, as applicable. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant 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 U.S. 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 footnote disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include depreciation of revenue earning vehicles, accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions, self-insured liabilities and useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and indefinite-lived intangible assets including goodwill. Other estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include reserves for litigation and other contingencies, pension costs and the valuation of stock-based compensation, among others. Revenue Earning Vehicles Revenue earning vehicles are stated at cost, net of related discounts and incentives from manufacturers. Holding periods typically range from six to sixty-six months . Generally, when revenue earning vehicles are acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program (non-program), the Company estimates the period that the Company will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage). The Company also estimates the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal, taking into consideration factors such as make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and market conditions. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Gains and losses on the sale of vehicles, including the costs associated with disposals, are included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 96 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) For program vehicles, the manufacturers agree to repurchase the vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Vehicle repurchase programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the program vehicle upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from one to forty years . Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Income Taxes The Company accounts 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, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by 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. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the related tax liability line in the accompany consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected to record tax on global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) on a current basis. GILTI is a U.S. tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are subject to foreign tax below a certain threshold. Self-insured Liabilities Self-insured liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets primarily include public liability, property damage and liability insurance supplement. These represent an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarially determined estimates using historical claims experience. The adequacy of the liability is monitored quarterly based on evolving accident claim history. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results. 97 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event. A goodwill impairment charge is calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. For goodwill, fair value is determined using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit when they have similar economic characteristics. The Company has identified two reporting units (operating segments): Americas RAC and International RAC. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit and incorporate various assumptions related to discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, tax rates and terminal value rates specific to the reporting unit to which they are applied. Discount rates are determined based on the reporting unit's WACC. The Company’s discounted cash flow projections are based upon reasonable and appropriate assumptions about the underlying business activities of the Company’s reporting units. In the impairment analysis for an indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value and recognizes an impairment charge whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value for a tradename utilizes a relief-from-royalty income approach, which includes the Company’s revenue projections for each asset, along with assumptions for royalty rates, tax rates and WACC. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes two types of revenue: (i) lease revenue; and (ii) revenue from contracts with customers. The Company reports revenues for taxes or non-concession fees collected from customers on behalf of governmental authorities on a net basis. Vehicle Rental and Rental Related Revenues The Company recognizes revenue from its vehicle rental operations when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the performance obligations have been satisfied, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Performance obligations associated with vehicle rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period, except for the portion associated with loyalty points, as further described below. Rental periods are short term in nature. Performance obligations associated with rental related activities, such as charges to the customer for the fueling and electric charging of vehicles and value-added services such as loss damage waivers, insurance products, navigation units, supplemental equipment and other consumables, are also satisfied over the rental period. Revenue from amounts that are charged to the customer, such as gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concession fees, is recorded on a gross basis with a corresponding charge to direct vehicle and operating expense. The Company recognizes revenue related to collections from customers for vehicle damages. Sales commissions paid to third parties are generally expensed when incurred due to the short-term nature of the related transaction on which the commission was earned and are recorded within DOE. Payments are due from customers at the completion of the rental, except for customers with negotiated payment terms, generally net 30 days or less, which are invoiced and remain as accounts receivable until collected. Loyalty Programs - The Company offers loyalty programs, primarily Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, wherein customers are eligible to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for free rental days or can be converted to loyalty points for redemption of products and services under loyalty programs of other companies. Each transaction that generates loyalty points results in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value at the date the points are earned. The associated revenue is recognized when the customer redeems the loyalty points at some point in the future. The retail value of loyalty points is estimated based on the current retail value measured as of the date the loyalty points 98 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) are earned, less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”). Breakage is reviewed on a quarterly basis and includes significant assumptions such as historical breakage trends and internal Company forecasts. Customer Rebates - The Company has business customers that rent vehicles based on terms that have been negotiated through contracts with their employers, or other entities with which they are associated (“commercial contracts”), which can differ substantially from the terms on which the Company rents vehicles to the general public. Some of the commercial contracts contain provisions which allow for rebates to the entity based on achieving a specific rental volume threshold. Rebates are treated as lease incentives and are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of the rental based on the rebate expected to be earned by the entity. Licensee Revenue The Company has franchise agreements which allow an independent entity to rent their vehicles under the Company’s brands, primarily Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty, for a franchise fee. Franchise fees are earned over time for the duration of the franchise agreement and are typically based on the larger of a minimum payment or an amount representing a percentage of net sales of the franchised business. Franchise fees that relate to a future contract term, such as initial fees or renewal fees, are deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement. Ancillary Retail Vehicle Sales Revenue Ancillary retail vehicle sales represent revenues generated from the sale of warranty contracts, financing and title fees, and other ancillary services associated with vehicles disposed of at the Company’s retail outlets. These revenues are recorded at the point in time when the Company sells the product or provides the service to the customer. These revenues exclude the sale price of the vehicle, which is a component of the gain or loss on the disposition and is included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Contract Balances The Company recognizes receivables and liabilities resulting from its contracts with customers. Contract receivables primarily consist of receivables from customers for vehicle rentals. Contract liabilities primarily consist of obligations to customers for prepaid vehicle rentals and related to the Company’s points-based loyalty programs. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in various investment grade institutional money market funds, and bank money market and interest-bearing accounts. Restricted cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for use in the Company's operating activities. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of proceeds from the disposition of vehicles pledged under the terms of vehicle debt financing arrangements and are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the vehicle debt facilities, cash utilized as credit enhancement under those arrangements, proceeds from the Term C Loan which are utilized to collateralize letters of credit, and certain cash accounts supporting regulatory reserve requirements related to the Company's self-insurance. These funds are primarily held in demand deposit and money market accounts or in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations. Deposits held at financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company limits exposure relating to financial instruments by diversifying the financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions. 99 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Receivables, Net of Allowance Receivables are stated net of allowances and primarily represent credit extended to vehicle manufacturers, customers that satisfy defined credit criteria, and amounts due from customers resulting from damage to rental vehicles. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's future expected losses and its judgement as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Actual receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines the balance will not be collected. Estimates for future credit memos are based on historical experience and are reflected as reductions to revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Property and Equipment, Net The Company's property and equipment, net consisted of the following: (In millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Land, buildings and leasehold improvements $ 905 $ 1,014 Service vehicles, equipment and furniture and fixtures 450 430 Less: accumulated depreciation ( 732 ) ( 773 ) Total property and equipment, net $ 623 $ 671 Land is stated at cost and reviewed for impairment as further disclosed above in "Long-lived Assets." Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 1 to 40 years Furniture and fixtures 1 to 5 years Service vehicles and equipment 1 to 25 years Leasehold improvements The lesser of the economic life or the lease term Depreciation expense for property and equipment, net for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 115 million, $ 101 million and $ 97 million, respectively. The Company follows the practice of expensing maintenance and repair costs for service vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and equipment, including the cost of minor replacements. Finite-lived Intangible Assets Finite-lived intangible assets include concession agreements, technology, customer relationships and other intangibles. Intangible assets with finite lives, including technology-related intangibles, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to fifteen years . Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company has estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option- 100 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company accounts for restricted stock unit ("RSU") and performance stock unit ("PSU") awards when granted as equity classified awards. For RSUs the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock and the number of shares that vest, recognized over the service period. For any PSUs and performance share awards ("PSAs") granted, the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock, recognized over a service period depending upon the applicable performance condition. For any PSUs and PSAs, the Company re-assesses the probability of achieving the applicable performance condition quarterly and adjusts the recognition of expense accordingly. The Company includes the excess tax benefit within income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations when realized. Fair Value Measurements U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the "exit price"). Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of nonperformance risk. The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy promulgated under U.S. GAAP. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management's judgment about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, gasoline and diesel fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages exposure to these market risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the Company's exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. The Company measures all financial instruments at their fair value and does not offset the derivative assets and liabilities in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As the Company does not have financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in the Company's operating results. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates throughout the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency exchange rate 101 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising Advertising production costs are deferred and expensed when the advertising first takes place. Advertising communication costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $ 264 million, $ 285 million and $ 262 million, respectively. Divestitures The Company classifies 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. The Company initially measures assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and assesses their fair value quarterly until disposed. When the divestiture represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the disposal is presented as a discontinued operation. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of December 31, 2024 Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance that modifies segment reporting disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024 using a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis when it became effective and has included the required disclosures in this 2024 Annual Report. Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2024 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosures related to, among other items, specified information about certain costs and expenses for commonly presented expense captions included in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the timing of adoption and assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its disclosures. Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative In October 2023, the FASB issued guidance that amends certain disclosure and presentation requirements related to the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, interim reporting, commitments, debt, equity, derivatives, transfers and services and various industry specific guidance. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the existing disclosure requirements, the amendments will not become effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective and will include the required disclosures in its applicable Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and or Annual Report on Form 10-K, dependent upon the timing of the SEC’s removal of the applicable disclosures from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. 102 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance income tax disclosures related to, among other items, rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective and will include the required disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. Note 3— Long-Lived Assets Impairment During the third quarter of 2024, at the conclusion of the Company’s historical peak rental season, there was a reduction in the cash flow projections in the Americas RAC and International RAC segments, indicating that the carrying values of their long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The reduction was largely attributed to the acceleration of the rental fleet rotation in the segments, where shortening the useful life reduced the potential future cash flows expected to be earned from the fleet. Operating cash flow projections also deteriorated from delayed timing of operating cost improvements and longer timeframes associated with revenue maximization initiatives. As a result, the Company tested the recoverability of its long-lived assets, consisting of revenue earning vehicles, ROU assets and property and equipment (collectively, the “Long-Lived Assets”) in its Americas RAC and International RAC segments by comparing the carrying values against undiscounted future cash flow projections and determined that an impairment existed. Effective August 31, 2024, the Long-Lived Assets were written down to their estimated fair values. The fair value for revenue earning vehicles was determined using a market approach utilizing prices for similar assets in active markets. Fair value for ROU assets was determined using a discounted cash flow income approach considering estimated market rent. The fair value for property and equipment was determined using a market approach, where available, and where not available, a cost approach utilizing estimated replacement cost. This resulted in recognizing impairment charges of $ 923 million and $ 125 million against the Company's revenue earning vehicles and ROU assets, respectively. No impairment was recognized for property and equipment assets. The total impairment charge of $ 1.0 billion is recorded in Long-Lived Assets impairment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $ 865 million and $ 183 million related to the Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. Further changes in market conditions or the performance of our long-lived assets could result in an additional impairment charge. Note 4— Divestitures Sales of Non-vehicle Capital Assets In 2019, the Company substantially completed the sale of certain non-vehicle capital assets constituting real property, in an eminent domain proceeding, in its Americas RAC segment. In 2023, the Company received additional cash from the sale upon final resolution of the eminent domain proceeding and recognized an additional $ 29 million pre-tax gain on the sale, which is included in (gain) on sale of non-vehicle capital assets in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2023, the Company sold and leased back its Los Angeles, California airport location in its Americas RAC segment. The transaction qualified for sale-leaseback accounting. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $ 133 million based on the difference in the sale amount of $ 143 million less $ 9 million net book value of assets sold and $ 1 million in selling costs, which is included in (gain) on sale of non-vehicle capital assets in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The leaseback is classified as an operating lease with a term of 36 months. 103 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

(2) As of December 31, 2024, includes an impairment charge recognized against the Company's revenue earnings vehicles in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 3, "Long-Lived Assets Impairment," for further details. Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net includes the following: Years ended December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 2022 Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles $ 2,896 $ 1,853 $ 1,806 (Gain) loss on disposal of revenue earning vehicles (1) 673 157 ( 1,125 ) Rents paid for vehicles leased 42 29 20 Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net $ 3,611 $ 2,039 $ 701 (1) Includes the write-down to fair value for vehicles classified as held for sale, including the EV Disposal Groups, as defined and disclosed below, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Electric Vehicles Held for Sale In December 2023, the Company identified a group of EVs in the Americas RAC segment (the "First EV Disposal Group") that it desired to sell. In March 2024, the Company identified an incremental group of EVs in the Americas RAC and International RAC segments (together with the First EV Disposal Group, the "EV Disposal Groups") that it also desired to sell. The EV Disposal Groups were in response to management's determination that the supply of EVs exceeded customer demand, elevated EV damage and collision costs, and a decline in EV residual values. As a result, the EV Disposal Groups were classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2024, the sale of the EV Disposal Groups was substantially complete. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred incremental charges, primarily in the first half of 2024, of $ 175 million for the write-down on the vehicles, of which $ 164 million and $ 11 million are associated with the Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively, and $ 48 million for losses incurred on the vehicles sold, primarily in the Americas RAC segment, which amounts are included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the First EV Disposal Group of $ 542 million is included in revenue earning vehicles, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. Note 6— Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets On an annual basis as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event as defined by ASC 350 - Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, the Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis. An impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair value as determined using Level 3 104 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including projected revenues, long-term growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. The Company performed the goodwill impairment analyses using the income approach, a measurement using Level 3 inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. In performing the impairment analyses, the weighted-average cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow model was calculated based upon the fair value of the Company's debt and share price with a debt-to-equity ratio comparable to the vehicle rental car industry. This present value model requires management to estimate future cash flows and forecasted EBITDA margins and capital investments of each reporting unit. The assumptions the Company used to estimate future cash flows and EBITDA margins are consistent with the assumptions that the reporting units use for internal planning purposes, which the Company believes would be generally consistent with that of a market participant. The discount rate used for each reporting unit ranged from 13.0 % to 20.0 %. Each of the Company's reporting units had a fair value that exceeded its respective carrying value, the lowest of which was greater than 25 %. The Company performed the intangible impairment analyses for indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty income approach, a measurement using Level 3 inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The Company considered consistent factors as described above related to goodwill in addition to royalty rates. The assumptions the Company uses to estimate royalty rates are consistent with the assumptions that the reporting units use for internal planning purposes, which the Company believes would be generally consistent with that of a market participant. The discount rate used for each indefinite-lived intangible ranged from 12.0 % to 20.0 %. Each of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets had fair values that exceeded their respective carrying values by more than 25 %, except for the Dollar and Thrifty tradename in the Company’s U.S. RAC segment which was in excess by 10 % of the carrying value of $ 934 million. Further deterioration in the Company’s cash flows or the weighted average cost of capital assumptions may result in an impairment charge to earnings in future quarters. The Company will continue to closely monitor actual results versus its expectations and the resulting impact to its assumptions about future estimated cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital. If the Company's expectations of the operating results, both in magnitude or timing, do not materialize, or if its weighted average cost of capital increases, the Company may be required to record goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges, which could be material. Goodwill The following summarizes the changes in the Company's goodwill by segment: (In millions) Americas RAC segment International RAC segment Total Balance as of January 1, 2024 Goodwill $ 1,028 $ 236 $ 1,264 Accumulated impairment losses — ( 220 ) ( 220 ) 1,028 16 1,044 Goodwill disposal and other changes during the period — — — Balance as of December 31, 2024 Goodwill 1,028 236 1,264 Accumulated impairment losses — ( 220 ) ( 220 ) $ 1,028 $ 16 $ 1,044 105 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

(5) Maturity reference is to the earlier "expected final maturity date" as opposed to the subsequent "legal final maturity date." The expected final maturity date is the date by which Hertz and investors in the relevant indebtedness originally expect the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness to be repaid in full. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the outstanding principal of the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable in full. (6) Other vehicle debt is primarily comprised of $ 94 million and $ 104 million in finance lease obligations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Non-Vehicle Debt First Lien Credit Agreement First Lien RCF: As of December 31, 2024, ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as defined under the First Lien Credit Agreement, bear interest at the relevant benchmark rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50 %. In addition, the pricing for U.S. dollar, Eurodollar, Sterling and Canadian dollar loans are equal to a local currency benchmark plus a margin of 3.50 %. The above referenced margins are dependent upon Hertz's consolidated total corporate leverage ratio, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement. The First Lien RCF matures on June 30, 2026. In April 2024, the First Lien Credit Agreement, which requires Hertz to comply with a financial covenant consisting of a ratio of first lien debt to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined within the First Lien Credit Agreement, which may be materially different than Adjusted Corporate EBITDA presented in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report, was amended. Amendment No. 8 required a ratio of less than or equal to 5.0 x in the second and third quarters of 2024 and requires 4.75 x in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Amendment No. 8 also contained a minimum liquidity covenant of $ 400 million for each month ending in the second and third quarters of 2024 and $ 500 million for each month ending in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Liquidity as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement may be materially different than corporate liquidity presented in Part II, Item 7 of this 2024 Annual Report. Amendment No. 8 also adds certain limitations on Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments (each as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). Under the terms of Amendment No. 8, the increased First Lien Ratio, minimum liquidity covenant, and limitations on Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments will sunset on the first day of the second quarter of 2025. In July 2024, consistent with obligations arising from the issuance of the First Lien Senior Notes and the Exchangeable Notes, as disclosed below, Hertz Holdings entered into a parent guarantee agreement with the administrative agent for the First Lien Credit Agreement. Prior to the issuance of each of the First Lien Senior Notes and the Exchangeable Notes, Hertz Holdings did not guarantee the obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement. First Lien Senior Notes In June 2024, Hertz issued $ 750 million in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Senior Notes, which are guaranteed by Hertz Holdings, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC and each of Hertz’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The First Lien Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 12.625 % per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning in January 2025. The First Lien Senior Notes mature July 2029. In December 2024, Hertz issued an additional $ 500 million in aggregate principal amount of First Lien Senior Notes. The additional First Lien Senior Notes are the same class and series, and otherwise identical to, the First Lien Senior Notes issued in June 2024, as disclosed above. 109 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Exchangeable Notes In June 2024, Hertz issued $ 250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, which are guaranteed by Hertz Holdings, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC and each of Hertz’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Exchangeable Notes bear PIK interest payable semi-annually in arrears on July 15 and January 15 of each year, beginning in January 2025. The Exchangeable Notes mature in July 2029, unless repurchased, redeemed or exchanged, in accordance with their terms prior to the Maturity Date. Prior to April 15, 2029, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. Thereafter, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable by holders into shares of Hertz Global common stock, cash or a combination of common stock and cash, at the Company's election, at an initial exchange rate of 150.9388 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, corresponding to an initial exchange price of $ 6.6252 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company may redeem the Exchangeable Notes on or after July 20, 2027 and on or prior to the 31st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the last reported sale price per share of Hertz Global common stock has been at least 250 % of the exchange price for the Exchangeable Notes for certain specified periods. The Company may redeem all (but not part) of the Exchangeable Notes at a cash redemption price equal to the initial principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed plus PIK interest on such Exchangeable Notes for each interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date plus accrued and unpaid PIK interest on such Exchangeable Notes to, but not including, the redemption date. At the time of issuance, certain investors affiliated with CK Amarillo, which is an affiliate of Hertz Holdings, purchased approximately $ 44 million of the Exchangeable Notes. In addition, in December 2024, Hertz paid certain investors affiliated with CK Amarillo approximately $ 1 million in consent fees in exchange for such investors tendering their consents, in a consent solicitation of holders of the Exchangeable Notes, to amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. Refer to Note 16, "Related Party Transactions," for further details. Upon issuance, the Company bifurcated the Exchange Feature from the Exchangeable Notes for accounting purposes utilizing applicable guidance. As a result, the Company recognized a debt discount of $ 68 million within non-vehicle debt, representing the initial fair value of the Exchange Feature. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Exchange Feature was $ 61 million. Refer to Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements," for further details. The net carrying amount of the Exchangeable Notes consists of the following: (In millions) December 31, 2024 Principal $ 250 Unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs (1) ( 71 ) Net carrying amount $ 179 (1) The debt discount is amortized to non-vehicle interest expense over the term of the Exchangeable Notes using the effective interest method. 110 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

Vehicle Debt HVF III U.S. ABS Program In June 2021, Hertz established the HVF III securitization platform (the "HVF III U.S. ABS Program") to facilitate its financing activities relating to vehicles used by Hertz in the U.S. vehicle rental operations. HVF III is the issuer of variable funding notes and medium-term notes under the HVF III U.S. ABS Program. HVF III entered into a base indenture that permits it to issue term and variable funding rental car asset-backed securities, secured by a collateral pool consisting primarily of the rental vehicles used in the Company's U.S. vehicle rental operations and the related incentive and repurchase program vehicle receivables. Within each series of HVF III U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes, the issued notes are subordinated based on class. From time to time, Hertz or any of its subsidiaries (all affiliates of HVF III), at their discretion, may purchase and retain any part or portion of an issued notes’ series or class within a series under the HVF III U.S. ABS Program depending on market conditions and other factors at the time of issuance. In addition, any retained notes issued under the HVF III U.S. ABS Program may be sold to third parties at a subsequent date or may be sold and repurchased under the Repurchase Facilities, as disclosed below, in each case, depending on market conditions and other factors at the time. References to the HVF III U.S. ABS Program include HVF III's U.S. Vehicle Variable Funding Notes and HVF III's U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes. HVF III U.S. Vehicle Variable Funding Notes HVF III Series 2021-A Notes In April 2024, HVF III amended the HVF III Series 2021-A Notes to extend the maturity of the Class A Notes to April 2026. In May 2024, HVF III amended the HVF III Series 2021-A Notes to reduce the Tesla concentration limit. HVF III U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes HVF III Series 2024-1 Notes and Series 2024-2 Notes In July 2024, HVF III issued the Series 2024-1 Notes (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D) and Series 2024-2 Notes (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D) each in aggregate principal amounts of $ 375 million with maturity dates of January 2028 and January 2030, respectively. There is subordination within each of the preceding series based on class. 111 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Vehicle Debt-Other European ABS The European ABS is the primary vehicle financing facility for the Company's vehicle rental operations in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Italy. The lenders under the European ABS have been granted a security interest in the owned rental vehicles used in the Company's vehicle rental operations in these countries and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles. In April 2024, International Fleet Financing No. 2 BV ("IFF No. 2"), an indirect, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, amended the European ABS to increase the aggregate maximum borrowings from € 1.2 billion to € 1.3 billion. In June 2024, the European ABS was amended to (i) incorporate the Belgium fleet within the European ABS financing structure and (ii) make certain other administrative amendments and revisions for the incorporation of the Belgian fleet. The aggregate maximum borrowings available under the European ABS remain unchanged after giving effect to the aforementioned amendments and revisions. Hertz Canadian Securitization Hertz maintains a financing through TCL Funding Limited Partnership, a bankruptcy remote, indirect, wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, for the purpose of financing its rental car fleet operations in Canada (the "Hertz Canadian Securitization"). In April 2024, the Hertz Canadian Securitization was amended to extend the maturity date to April 2026. Australian Securitization Hertz maintains a financing through HA Fleet Pty. Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz, for the purpose of financing its rental car fleet operations in Australia (the "Australian Securitization"). HA Fleet Pty. Limited serves as the issuer under the Australian Securitization. The lender under the Australian Securitization has been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental vehicles used in its vehicle rental operations in Australia and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles. In July 2024, the Australian Securitization was amended to extend the maturity date to June 2026. New Zealand RCF Hertz maintains a financing through Hertz New Zealand Holdings Limited ("Hertz New Zealand"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz, for the purpose of financing its rental car fleet operations in New Zealand. Hertz New Zealand is the borrower under a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “New Zealand RCF”). In September 2024, the New Zealand RCF was amended to extend the maturity date to August 2026. U.K. Financing Facility In July 2024, the U.K. Financing Facility was amended to increase aggregate maximum borrowings from £ 135 million to £ 170 million and to extend the maturity date to May 2025. U.K. ABS In December 2024, HFF entered into the U.K. ABS, which provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of £ 145 million and matures in December 2026. The U.K. ABS is intended to be the primary vehicle financing facility for the Company's vehicle rental fleet in the U.K., in which the lenders under the U.K. ABS are granted a security 112 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) interest in the owned rental vehicles used in the Company's vehicle rental operations in the U.K. and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles. As of December 31, 2024, the U.K. ABS has not been funded and no capacity is available. As of January 31, 2025, the U.K. ABS has committed capacity of £ 145 million. Maturities As of December 31, 2024, the nominal amounts of maturities of debt for each of the years ending December 31 are as follows: (In millions) 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 After 2029 Other Non-Vehicle Debt $ 18 $ 693 $ 18 $ 1,941 $ 2,250 $ — Exchangeable Notes — — — — 250 — Total Non-Vehicle Debt 18 693 18 1,941 2,500 — Vehicle Debt 1,697 6,682 1,639 636 563 63 Total $ 1,715 $ 7,375 $ 1,657 $ 2,577 $ 3,063 $ 63 The Company has reviewed its debt facilities and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance these facilities at such times as the Company determines appropriate prior to their respective maturities. Borrowing Capacity and Availability Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's revolving credit facilities, which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow based revolving credit facilities, asset-based revolving credit facilities and the First Lien RCF. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base. The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility and, in the case of the First Lien RCF, less any issued standby letters of credit. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time). 113 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

As of December 31, 2024, no capacity remained to issue additional letters of credit under the Term C Loan. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to provide credit enhancement for the Company's asset-backed securitization facilities and to support the Company's insurance programs, as well as to support the Company's vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds. As of December 31, 2024, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon. Pledges Related to Vehicle Financing Substantially all of the Company's revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings or asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC, TCL Funding LP and each of the domestic and international subsidiaries that pledge vehicle and vehicle related assets as part of the Company's securitization programs) will be available to satisfy the claims of non-vehicle secured or unsecured creditors unless the vehicle related secured creditors under the securitization programs are paid in full. The Company has a 25 % ownership interest in IFF No. 2, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend under the European ABS in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. IFF No. 2 is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of IFF No. 2 are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, IFF No. 2 had total assets of $ 1.4 billion and $ 1.7 billion, respectively, comprised primarily of intercompany receivables, and total liabilities of $ 1.4 billion and $ 1.7 billion, respectively, comprised primarily of debt. In November 2024, the Company incorporated HFF as a special purpose orphan entity. HFF provides a vehicle financing facility for the Company's vehicle rental fleet in the U.K. through the U.K. ABS, which was entered into in December 2024, as disclosed above. HFF is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of HFF are included in the accompanying consolidated financial 114 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) statements. As of December 31, 2024, HFF had total assets of $ 2 million comprised primarily of deferred financing costs and total liabilities of $ 2 million comprised primarily of accrued liabilities. Covenant Compliance The First Lien Credit Agreement r e quires Hertz to comply with the following financial covenant: a First Lien Ratio, which requires a ratio of less than or equal to 3.0 x in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.5 x in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. Amendment No. 8 temporarily increases the First Lien Ratio and contains a minimum liquidity covenant for each fiscal quarter beginning in the second quarter of 2024 and sunsets on the first day of the second quarter of 2025, as disclosed above. As of December 31, 2024, Hertz was in compliance with the First Lien Ratio, as temporarily amended. Additionally, the Corporate Indebtedness contains customary affirmative covenants including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and/or compliance certificates, and covenants related to conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and, where applicable, the granting of security interests for the benefit of the secured parties under the applicable agreements on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries. The terms of the Corporate Indebtedness contain covenants limiting the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, Hertz Global capital stock; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell certain assets; transfer intellectual property to unrestricted subsidiaries; merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets; and create restrictions on the ability of Hertz’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Hertz. As per the terms of the Corporate Indebtedness, these covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the agreements governing the respective Corporate Indebtedness. Accrued Interest As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest was $ 103 million and $ 26 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Restricted Net Assets Hertz and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to contractual restrictions under the terms of its debt, including restrictions on the ability to pay dividends (directly or indirectly). As of December 31, 2024, the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of Hertz and Hertz Global exceed 25 % of their total consolidated net assets, respectively. Note 8— Employee Retirement Benefits The Company sponsors multiple domestic and international employee retirement benefit plans where benefits are based upon years of service and compensation. The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Hertz Retirement Plan”) is the Company's U.S. cash balance plan, which was amended in 2014 to permanently discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. The majority of union employees have since discontinued participation in the Hertz Retirement Plan as the result of collective bargaining. Some of the Company’s international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and international employees, where contributions are matched based on specific guidelines in the plans. Management makes certain assumptions relating to discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors when determining amounts to be recognized. These assumptions 115 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) are reviewed annually by management, assisted by the enrolled actuary, and updated as warranted. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of the plans and utilizes fair value to calculate the market-related value of pension assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets and accounting for asset gains and losses. Actual results that differ from the Company's assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect the Company's pension costs and obligations. The Company recognizes an asset for each over-funded plan and a liability for each underfunded plan in the consolidated balance sheets. Pension plan liabilities are revalued annually based on updated assumptions and information about the individuals covered by the plan. For pension plans, if accumulated actuarial gains and losses are in excess of a 10 percent corridor, the excess is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date recognized over the average remaining service period of active participants, when applicable. The tables below set forth the funded status and the net periodic pension cost of the Hertz Retirement Plan and the retirement plans for international operations (“Non-U.S.”), together with amounts included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Additionally, changes in the mortality assumption contributed to actuarial gains for the U.K., partially offset by changes in the inflation assumption. In 2023, discount rates decreased, resulting in actuarial losses for the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension plans, partially offset by changes in the inflation and mortality assumptions in the U.K. 116 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

For its Non-U.S. plans, the discount rate reflected the market rates for an optimized subset of high-quality corporate bonds currently available with the discount rate in a country determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches its plan. The expected return on plan assets for each funded plan is based on expected future investment returns considering the target investment mix of plan assets. 117 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

Plan Assets The Company has a long-term investment outlook for the assets held in the Company sponsored plans, which is consistent with the long-term nature of each plan's respective liabilities. The Company has two major plans which reside in the U.S. and the U.K. The U.S. Plan The Hertz Retirement Plan, the Company's U.S. qualified pension plan, has a target asset allocation mix of 55 % in investments intended to hedge the impact of capital market movements ("Immunizing Portfolio Investments"), comprised primarily of fixed income securities, and 45 % in investments intended to earn more than the pension liability growth over the long-term ("Growth Portfolio Investments"). The Growth Portfolio Investments are primarily invested in passively managed equity funds, international and emerging market funds that are actively managed and non-investment grade fixed income funds. The overall strategy and the Immunizing Portfolio Investments are managed by professional investment managers. The investments within these asset classes are diversified in order to minimize the risk of large losses. The Hertz Retirement Plan assumes a 6.4 % expected long-term annual weighted-average rate of return on assets. 118 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

The fair value and units are determined and published and are the basis for current transactions. The investments are not eligible for the NAV practical expedient. However, they are measured at the published NAV because the quoted NAV per unit represents the price at which the investment would be sold in a transaction between independent market participants. The U.K. Plan The Company's U.K. pension plan (the "U.K. Plan") has a target allocation of 12 % actively managed diversified growth and multi-asset credit funds, 8 % passive equity funds and 80 % protection portfolio that consists of liability driven investments, Sterling liquidity fund and U.K. corporate bonds. The actively managed diversified growth and multi-asset credit funds are intended to deliver a long-term equity-like return but with reduced levels of volatility. The protection portfolio is designed to partially hedge the interest rate and inflation expectation exposure of the liabilities which are measured on a local regulatory basis. The amount that is required to be invested in each fund to maintain target hedge ratios will vary over time as the value of the liabilities change and the allocations within the protection portfolio will be allowed to vary accordingly. All of the invested assets of the U.K. Plan are held via pooled funds managed by professional investment managers. The U.K. Plan assumes a 5.1 % expected long-term weighted-average rate of return on assets for the Plan in total. The U.K. Plan comprises $ 120 million of the $ 126 million in fair value of Non-U.S. plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and comprises $ 135 million of the $ 142 million in fair value of Non-U.S. plan assets as of December 31, 2023.

Contributions The Company's policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time, the Company makes contributions beyond those legally required. In 2024, the Company made a $ 9 million contribution to the Hertz Retirement Plan and a $ 2 million contribution to the U.K. Plan. The Company did no t make any contributions to the Hertz Retirement Plan or the U.K. Plan in 2023. The Company does no t currently anticipate contributing to the Hertz Retirement Plan during 2025. The Company anticipates contributing $ 1 million to the U.K. Plan and $ 2 million to its other Non-U.S. plans during 2025. The level of 2025 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note 9— Stock-Based Compensation The stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation plans is pushed down from Hertz Global and recorded at Hertz. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan During 2021, Hertz Global's Board approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Omnibus Plan"). Hertz Global initially authorized 62,250,055 shares of its common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. In addition, beginning on June 30, 2022, and ending on June 20, 2031 (the “Evergreen Date”), the total authorized shares under the 2021 Omnibus Plan will automatically increase by a number of shares equal to 2 % of the total number of shares of Hertz Global's common stock outstanding on the June 29th immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the "Evergreen Increase"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hertz Global's Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares. As of December 31, 2024, 43,816,240 shares of the Hertz Global's common stock are authorized and remain available for future grants under the 2021 Omnibus Plan , which reflects application of the Evergreen Increase as prescribed by the 2021 Omnibus Plan in each of June 2024 and 2023. Vesting of the outstanding equity awards is also subject to accelerated vesting as set forth in the 2021 Omnibus Plan. A summary of the total employee compensation expense and related income tax benefits recognized for grants made under the 2021 Omnibus Plan is as follows: Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 2022 Employee compensation expense (1) $ ( 6 ) $ 85 $ 129 Income tax benefit ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 7 ) Employee compensation expense, net $ ( 13 ) $ 77 $ 122 1) For the year ended December 31, 2024, includes $ 68 million of former CEO awards forfeited in March 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 106 million of total unrecognized compensation cost expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.6 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates of outstanding awards. The 2021 Omnibus Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance stock, PSUs, performance units ("PUs"), restricted stock, RSUs, share awards and deferred stock units to eligible recipients. Under the 2021 Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") has the authority to determine the eligible recipients to whom awards may be granted, the types of awards and their terms or conditions. The Board exercises these rights for certain executive officers. Stock Options and SARs The 2021 Omnibus Plan provides that stock option grants may be either incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, however, the Company may not grant incentive stock options until such time as the plan has been approved by the Company's stockholders. Except in the case of replacement awards, stock options will have an exercise price per share that is no less than fair market value of the Company's common stock on the stock option grant date. SARs may be granted to participants in tandem with stock options or on their own. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee or Board at or after the grant date, tandem SARs will have substantially similar terms as the stock options with which they are granted. Generally, each SAR will entitle the participant upon exercise to an amount (in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee or Board) equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of 121 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) common stock, over (B) the strike price per share, times (ii) the number of shares of common stock covered by the SAR. The Company accounts for stock options as equity-classified awards and recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on the historical movement of its share price. Grants Assumption 2021 Expected volatility 75 % Expected dividend yield — % Expected term (years) 6 Risk-free interest rate 1.19 % Weighted-average grant date fair value $ 17.12 A summary of stock option activity under the 2021 Omnibus Plan as of December 31, 2024 is presented below: Options Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In millions) Outstanding as of January 1, 2024 2,431,503 $ 26.17 6.7 $ — Granted — — 0.0 — Exercised — — 0.0 — Forfeited or Expired ( 729,085 ) 26.17 0.0 — Outstanding as of December 31, 2024 1,702,418 26.17 6.7 — Exercisable as of December 31, 2024 ( 1,702,418 ) 26.17 6.7 — Non-vested as of December 31, 2024 — Performance Stock Awards, Performance Stock Units and Performance Units PSAs, PSUs and PUs granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan will vest based on the achievement of predetermined performance goals over performance periods determined by the Compensation Committee or Board or upon the occurrence of certain events, as determined by the Compensation Committee or Board. PSAs are awards of common stock that are subject to forfeiture until predetermined performance conditions have been achieved. A PSU is a contractual right to receive a stated number of shares of common stock, or if provided by the Compensation Committee or Board on or after the grant date, cash equal to the fair market value of such shares of common stock or any combination of shares of common stock and cash having an aggregate fair market value equal to such stated number of shares of common stock, which right is forfeitable until the achievement of predetermined performance conditions. PUs represent the right to receive a cash denominated award, payable in cash or shares of common stock or a combination thereof, and are forfeitable until the achievement of predetermined performance conditions. 122 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

(2) Includes former CEO awards forfeited in March 2024. Compensation expense for PSUs is based on the grant date fair value of Hertz Global common stock. For grants issued in 2024, vesting eligibility is based on market, performance and service conditions of primarily two to five years . Accordingly, the number of shares issued at the end of the performance period could range between 0 % and 200 % of the original target award amount ( 100 %) disclosed in the table above. Certain of these PSUs, which were granted during the months of April and June in the second quarter of 2024 and during the month of July in the third quarter of 2024, were valued on the respective grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table: Grants Assumption April 2024 June 2024 July 2024 Expected volatility 60 % 65 % 70 % Expected dividend yield — % — % — % Expected term (years) 5 5 5 Risk-free interest rate 4.34 % 4.30 % 4.17 % Weighted-average grant date fair value $ 5.92 $ 1.71 $ 2.51 As of December 31, 2024, there were no issued or outstanding grants of PSAs or PUs under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock and RSUs granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events specified by the Compensation Committee or Board. Restricted stock and RSUs are subject to forfeiture until vested. Compensation expense for RSUs is based on the grant date fair value, and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. RSU grants issued in 2024 vest ratably over a period of primarily three years .

Note 10— Leases The Company enters into certain agreements as a lessor under which it rents vehicles to customers. The Company enters into certain agreements as a lessee to rent real estate, vehicles and other equipment and to conduct its vehicle rental operations under concession agreements. If any of the following criteria are met, the Company classifies the lease as a financing lease (as a lessee) or as a direct financing or sales-type lease (both as a lessor): • The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; • The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise; • The lease term is for 75 % or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25 % of the economic life of the underlying asset; • The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90 % of the fair value of the underlying asset; or • The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases. The Company combines lease and non-lease components in its contracts under ASC 842, Lease Accounting ("Topic 842"), when permissible. The following further describes the Company's leasing transactions. Lessor The Company's operating leases for vehicle rentals have rental periods that are typically short term (e.g., daily or weekly) and can generally be extended for up to one month or terminated at the customer's discretion. Rental charges are computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. In connection with the vehicle rental, the Company offers supplemental equipment rentals (e.g., child seats and ski racks) which are deemed lease components. The Company also offers value-added services in connection with the vehicle rental, which are deemed non-lease components, such as loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and satellite radio. Additionally, the Company charges for variable services primarily consisting of tolls, refueling and recharging during the rental period, and for fees associated with the early or late termination of the vehicle lease. The Company 124 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) mitigates residual value risk of its revenue earning vehicles by utilizing manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, using sophisticated vehicle diagnostic and repair equipment to maintain the condition of its vehicles and through periodic reviews of vehicle depreciation rates based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions. The following table summarizes the amount of operating lease income and other income included in total revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022: (In millions) 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease income from vehicle rentals $ 8,183 $ 8,546 8,243 Variable operating lease income 627 588 212 Revenue accounted for under Topic 842 8,810 9,134 8,455 Revenue accounted for under Topic 606 239 237 230 Total revenues $ 9,049 $ 9,371 8,685 Lessee As a lessee, the Company has the following types of operating leases: • Concession agreements which grant the Company the right to conduct its vehicle rental operations at airports, hotels and train stations and to use building space such as terminal counters and parking garages; • Real estate leases for its off airport vehicle rental locations and other premises; • Revenue earning vehicle leases; and • Other equipment leases. The Company's lease terms generally range from one month to thirty-five years and a number of agreements contain escalation clauses, which increase the payment obligation based on a fixed or variable rate and renewal options. The length of renewals vary and may result in different payment terms. Payment terms are based on fixed rates explicit in the lease, including guaranteed minimums and/or variable rates based on: • Operating expenses, such as common area charges, real estate taxes and insurance; • A percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises; and/or • Periodic inflation adjustments. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and lease liability in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets for leases with a term greater than twelve months. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the Company's ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (i.e., those with a term of twelve months or less) and recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, as applicable. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized an impairment on the Long-Lived Assets, which included ROU assets, in the Americas RAC segment. See Note 3, "Long-Lived Assets Impairment," for further details. To determine the present value of its lease payments, the Company utilizes the interest rate implicit in the lease agreement. If the implicit interest rate cannot be determined in the lease agreement, the Company utilizes the Company's collateralized incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019, the adoption date of Topic 842, or the commencement date of the lease, whichever is later. 125 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

This assessment included the evaluation of cumulative earnings and losses in recent years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the availability of carryforwards and the remaining period of the respective carryforward, future taxable income and any applicable tax-planning strategies that are available. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $ 1.1 billion of tax-effected U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards ("Federal NOLs"), which have an indefinite carryforward period and may offset 80% of taxable income generate in any future year. The Company has approximately $ 320 million of federal tax credits which begin expiring in 2042. These credits are offset, in part, by a valuation allowance totaling $ 176 million. The Company has approximately $ 305 million of tax-effected federal deferred interest expense which has an indefinite carryforward period. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance on its Federal NOLs or deferred interest expense as there were adequate U.S. deferred tax liabilities that could be realized within the carryforward periods. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $ 262 million of tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards. Some of these net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2025 if not utilized. These net operating losses are offset, in part, by a valuation allowance totaling $ 199 million. The Company has approximately $ 36 million in state tax credits for which a full valuation allowance is recorded. The state tax credits expire over various years beginning in 2028. The Company has approximately $ 54 million of tax-effected deferred interest expense which has an indefinite carryforward period and is offset, in part, by a valuation allowance totaling $ 31 million. The tax effected amounts for all state tax attributes are net of federal benefit. 128 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $ 207 million of tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Some of the net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2035 if not utilized. These net operating losses are offset, in part, by a valuation allowance totaling $ 202 million. The Company has no tax credits in foreign jurisdictions. The Company has approximately $ 12 million of tax-effected foreign deferred interest which has an indefinite carryforward period. The deferred interest is offset, by a valuation allowance of $ 4 million. The Company has approximately $ 4 million of tax-effected foreign capital loss carryforwards for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded. Due to the ownership changes before and upon emergence from bankruptcy in June 2021, the utilization of the Company's federal, state and foreign NOLs may be subject to limitations. Estimates of these limitations have been reflected in the tax provision. The significant items in the reconciliation of the statutory and effective income tax rates consists of the following items in the table below. Percentages are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands, and as a result, may not agree to the amount when calculated in millions. Hertz Global and Hertz Years Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Statutory federal tax rate 21 % 21 % 21 % State and local income taxes, net of federal effect 4 5 4 Change in state rates, net of federal effect — ( 4 ) — Foreign tax rate differential — 2 — Federal and foreign permanent differences — ( 5 ) 1 Tax credits 1 ( 70 ) ( 1 ) Withholding taxes — 1 1 Valuation allowance ( 17 ) ( 73 ) ( 6 ) Change in fair value of Public Warrants & Exchangeable Notes 2 ( 14 ) ( 7 ) European reorganization — 6 — Uncertain tax positions — 1 — U.S. tax on foreign earnings — 9 1 Nondeductible officer compensation — 5 1 Other 1 1 1 Effective tax rate - Hertz Global 12 ( 115 ) 16 Hertz Holdings exclusive items (1) ( 1 ) ( 153 ) 6 Effective tax rate - Hertz 11 % ( 268 ) % 22 % (1) Represents the tax rate differential due to the exclusion of the change in fair value of Public Warrants from Hertz's income (loss) before income taxes. The change in tax provision in 2024 compared to 2023 is driven by lower pretax income, increases in valuation allowances in 2024 and lower EV credits generated in 2024. The change in tax provision in 2023 compared to 2022 is driven by lower pre-tax income in 2023, benefits from EV credits generated in 2023, the release of valuation allowances in 2023 primarily related to the characterization of the loss on the restructuring of European operations (as disclosed below) and the non-taxable change in the fair value of Public Warrants. 129 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Hertz Global and Hertz Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 2022 Balance as of January 1 $ 130 $ 298 $ 106 Increase (decrease) attributable to tax positions taken during prior periods — ( 192 ) 184 Increase (decrease) attributable to tax positions taken during the current year 29 24 9 Decrease attributable to settlements with taxing authorities ( 3 ) — ( 1 ) Balance as of December 31 $ 156 $ 130 $ 298 The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate is $ 4 million. Net, after-tax interest and penalties related to tax liabilities are classified as a component of income tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations which were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Net, after-tax interest and penalties were accrued as a component of tax in the Company's consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $ 8 million and $ 8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. It is reasonably possible our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $ 52 million within 12 months of our reporting date if an agreement is reached between U.S. and foreign competent authorities regarding intercompany royalties for the periods 2011-2015. During 2021, as part of a restructuring of European operations, we generated a tax loss of approximately $ 1.3 billion, which was initially characterized as a capital loss in the 2021 provision. On February 9, 2023, the Company and the IRS agreed to the amount and to the character of the loss as ordinary. This resulted in a reduction in the amount of loss and a release of valuation allowances for a net benefit of $ 163 million in 2023. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The tax years that are open for examination span from 2010 to 2024. Additionally, the Company is under audit in several U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions, and it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change as the result of the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statute of limitations or unforeseen circumstances. The Company's assumptions and estimates pertaining to uncertain tax positions require significant judgment. It is possible that the tax authorities could challenge the Company's estimates and assumptions used to assess the tax benefits, and the actual amount of the tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions may differ materially from these estimates. The Company has provided for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. However, it is not practicable to estimate the deferred taxes on other differences on investments in foreign subsidiaries. Many countries have enacted or are in the process of enacting a 15% minimum tax rule based on the OECD framework, commonly referred to as "Pillar Two." The Company does not anticipate a material impact on taxes as a result of Pillar Two. Note 12— Financial Instruments The Company employs established risk management policies and procedures, and, under the terms of our ABS facilities, may be required to enter into interest rate derivatives, which seek to reduce the Company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the Company contracts with multiple counterparties to mitigate 130 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) concentrations of risk and the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will always be effective. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Company’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party generally has the right, but not the obligation, to set-off any early termination amounts under any such agreements against any other amounts owed with regard to any other agreements between the parties to each such agreement. No ne of the Company's financial instruments have been designated as hedging instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company classifies cash flows from financial instruments according to the classification of the cash flows of the economically hedged item(s). Interest Rate Risk The Company uses a combination of interest rate caps and swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and to manage its mix of floating and fixed-rate debt. Currency Exchange Rate Risk The Company uses foreign currency exchange rate derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exposure resulting from intercompany transactions and other cross currency obligations. Fair Value The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of financial instruments: Fair Value of Financial Instruments Asset Derivatives (1) Liability Derivatives (1) December 31, December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Interest rate instruments (1) $ 2 $ 10 $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts (1) 1 5 6 2 Exchange Feature related to Exchangeable Notes (2) — — 61 — Total $ 3 $ 15 $ 67 $ 2 (1) Asset derivatives are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets and liability derivatives are recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (2) The Exchange Feature was bifurcated as a derivative upon issuance of the Exchangeable Notes in June 2024, as disclosed in Note 7, "Debt," and is recorded in non-vehicle debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. 131 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following table summarizes the gains or (losses) on financial instruments for the period indicated: Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized on Derivatives Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 2022 Interest rate instruments Vehicle interest expense, net $ ( 5 ) $ ( 6 ) $ 127 Foreign currency forward contracts Selling, general and administrative expense (1) ( 26 ) 8 ( 2 ) Exchange Feature related to Exchangeable Notes (2) Non-vehicle interest expense, net 7 — — Total $ ( 24 ) $ 2 $ 125 (1) In 2022, all gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts were recorded in other (income) expense, net. (2) The Exchange Feature was bifurcated as a derivative upon issuance of the Exchangeable Notes in June 2024, as further disclosed in Note 7, "Debt." In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold certain of its interest rate caps resulting in a net gain of $ 10 million based on the recognition of a $ 98 million realized gain on the unwind, of which $ 88 million was previously unrealized. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts and certain interest rate instruments are subject to enforceable master netting agreements with their counterparties. The Company does not offset such derivative assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets, and the potential effect of the Company’s use of the master netting arrangements is not material. Note 13— Fair Value Measurements Under U.S. GAAP, entities are allowed to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its assets or liabilities that meet the criteria for this option. Irrespective of the fair value option previously described, U.S. GAAP requires certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company to be measured on either a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis. Fair Value Disclosures The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. 132 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Debt Obligations The fair value of the debt facilities is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (i.e., Level 2 inputs). December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (In millions) Nominal Unpaid Principal Balance Aggregate Fair Value Nominal Unpaid Principal Balance Aggregate Fair Value Other Non-Vehicle Debt $ 4,920 $ 4,399 $ 3,515 $ 3,285 Exchangeable Notes (1) 250 289 — — Total Non-Vehicle Debt 5,170 4,688 3,515 3,285 Vehicle Debt 11,280 11,100 12,314 11,878 Total $ 16,450 $ 15,788 $ 15,829 $ 15,163 (1) As of December 31, 2024, the nominal unpaid principal balance and aggregate fair value of the Exchangeable Notes include $ 61 million related to the Exchange Feature, which is measured based on Level 3 inputs as disclosed below. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table summarizes the Company's cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and Public Warrants that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy as follows: December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents $ 229 $ — $ — $ 229 $ 362 $ — $ — $ 362 Liabilities: Public Warrants $ 178 $ — $ — $ 178 $ 453 $ — $ — $ 453 Exchange Feature $ — $ — $ 61 $ 61 $ — $ — $ — $ — Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in money market funds and bank money market and interest-bearing accounts. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 inputs). Public Warrants – Hertz Global Hertz Global's Public Warrants are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("Topic 480"). See Note 18, "Public Warrants – Hertz Global," for further details. Upon issuance in June 2021, the initial fair value of the Public Warrants was $ 800 million. The Company calculates the fair value based on the end-of-day quoted market price, a Level 1 input of the fair value hierarchy. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the fair value adjustments resulted in gains of $ 275 million, $ 163 million and $ 704 million, respectively, and were recorded in change in fair value of Public Warrants in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for Hertz Global. 133 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Exchange Feature The Exchangeable Notes contain an embedded conversion feature, the Exchange Feature, that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the Exchangeable Notes as a derivative liability at fair value. See Note 7, "Debt," and Note 12, "Financial Instruments," for further information. The fair value of the Exchange Feature was determined using a lattice model and a “with-and-without” valuation methodology. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Exchange Feature include the probability of potential settlement scenarios, the expected timing of such settlement and an expected volatility determined by reference to historical stock volatilities. As the expected volatility input is considered unobservable, the Company has categorized the Exchange Feature as Level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Exchange Feature was computed using the following key inputs as of December 31, 2024: December 31, 2024 Hertz Global common share price $ 3.66 Expected term (years) 4.54 Risk-free interest rate 4.35 % Credit spread 8.55 % Expected volatility 48.75 % The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Exchange Feature is expected volatility. Holding other inputs constant, an increase (decrease) in expected volatility would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement, respectively. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Exchange Feature measured at fair value utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 input) as of December 31, 2024: (In millions) Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ — Initial recognition of derivative liability 68 (Gain) loss in fair value recognized in earnings (1) ( 7 ) Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ 61 (1) Included in non-vehicle interest expense, net in the accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are disclosed in Note 12, "Financial Instruments." The Company's financial instruments, excluding the Exchange Feature as disclosed above, are priced using quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (i.e., Level 2 inputs). Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis During the third quarter of 2024, at the conclusion of the Company’s historical peak rental season, there was a reduction in the cash flow projections in the Americas RAC and International RAC segments, indicating that the carrying values of their long-lived assets may not be recoverable. As a result, the Company tested the recoverability of the “Long-Lived Assets” in its Americas RAC and International RAC segments and determined that an impairment existed. Effective August 31, 2024, the Long-Lived Assets were written down to their estimated fair values (determined using Level 2 inputs). See Note 3, "Long-Lived Assets Impairment," for additional information. 134 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) In December 2023, the Company identified the First EV Disposal Group, which was in response to management's determination that the supply of EVs exceeded customer demand, elevated EV damage and collision costs, and a decline in EV residual values. As a result, the First EV Disposal Group was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value (as determined using Level 2 inputs) less costs to sell. As of December 31, 2024, the sale of the First EV Group was substantially complete. See Note 5, "Revenue Earning Vehicles," for additional information. Note 14— Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Changes in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance by component (net of tax) is as follows: (In millions) Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits Foreign Currency Items Unrealized Losses from Currency Translation Adjustments on Terminated Net Investment Hedges Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Balance as of January 1, 2024 $ ( 95 ) $ ( 134 ) $ ( 19 ) $ ( 248 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification 3 ( 74 ) — ( 71 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 3 — — 3 Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ ( 89 ) $ ( 208 ) $ ( 19 ) $ ( 316 ) (In millions) Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits Foreign Currency Items Unrealized Losses from Currency Translation Adjustments on Terminated Net Investment Hedges Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Balance as of January 1, 2023 $ ( 92 ) $ ( 183 ) $ ( 19 ) $ ( 294 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification ( 6 ) 49 — 43 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 3 — — 3 Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ ( 95 ) $ ( 134 ) $ ( 19 ) $ ( 248 ) Note 15— Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments Legal Proceedings Self-Insured Liabilities The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet commenced for self-insured liabilities arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for self-insured liabilities on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and are based on actuarially determined estimates using historical claims experience. These estimates include judgment about severity of claims, frequency and volume of claims. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's liability recorded for self-insured liabilities was $ 617 million and $ 471 million, of which $ 491 million and $ 336 million relates to liabilities incurred by the Company's Americas RAC operations, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability is monitored quarterly 135 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) based on evolving accident claim history. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results. Loss Contingencies From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, typically involving operational issues common to the vehicle rental business. The Company has summarized below the material legal proceedings to which the Company was a party during the year ended December 31, 2024 or the period after December 31, 2024, but before the filing of this 2024 Annual Report. Make-Whole and Post-Petition Interest Claims - On July 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), in its capacity as indenture trustee of (1) 6.250 % Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), (2) 5.500 % Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), (3) 7.125 % Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and (4) 6.000 % Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") issued by The Hertz Corporation (collectively, the “Unsecured Notes”), filed a complaint against The Hertz Corporation and multiple direct and indirect subsidiaries thereof (collectively referred to in this paragraph summary as “defendants”). The filing of the complaint initiated the adversary proceeding captioned Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Bankruptcy Court"), Adv. Pro. No. 21-50995 (MFW). The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the holders of the Unsecured Notes are entitled to payment of certain redemption premiums and post-petition interest that the holders assert total approximately $ 272 million or, in the alternative, are entitled to payment of post-petition interest at a contractual rate that they assert totals approximately $ 125 million. The complaint also asserts the right to pre-judgment interest from July 1, 2021 to the date of any judgment. On December 22, 2021, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court dismissed Wells Fargo’s claims with respect to (i) the redemption premium allegedly owed on the 2022 Notes and the 2024 Notes and (ii) post-petition interest at the contract rate. See Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al., 637 B.R. 781 (Bankr. D. Del. Dec. 22, 2021). On November 9, 2022, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court ruled that the make-whole premium is the same as unmatured interest and is disallowed under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, granting summary judgment in the defendants’ favor. The Delaware Bankruptcy Court certified the matter directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit”) and, on January 25, 2023, the Third Circuit accepted Wells Fargo’s appeal. The Third Circuit held an oral argument for this appeal on October 25, 2023, and on September 10, 2024, the Third Circuit issued its opinion in Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al., 117 F.4th 109 (3d Cir. 2024). In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the Third Circuit held that the "absolute priority rule" required Hertz to pay the make-whole premium on the 2026 Notes and on the 2028 Notes, and post-petition interest at the contract rate rather than the federal judgment rate on all Unsecured Notes, even though those amounts were disallowed under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the Company has accrued approximately $ 320 million for this litigation as of December 31, 2024, made up of approximately $ 260 million on the underlying claims and approximately $ 60 million in pre-judgment interest, which interest will continue to accrue until the date of any judgment that may be entered by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. On October 15, 2024, the Company filed a petition with the Third Circuit for a rehearing en banc, which the Third Circuit denied on November 6, 2024. The case has now been remanded to the Delaware Bankruptcy Court for a determination of the exact amount owed by the Company. The Company and the Indenture Trustee do not agree on the proper calculation of the amounts owed, and that dispute remains to be resolved by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. The Company has also announced its intent to seek review of the Third Circuit's decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (the "U.S. Supreme Court"). The Company's current deadline to file a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court is March 6, 2025. The Company has commenced negotiations with certain holders of the Unsecured Notes (the “Noteholders”) with respect to a possible settlement of this litigation (a “Potential Settlement”). The Company has not reached an agreement with the Noteholders, and there can be no assurance that a Potential Settlement will be agreed upon between the Noteholders and the Company. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome or timing of this litigation; if, however, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court were to enter judgment against Hertz, payment of such judgment could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Claims Related to Alleged False Arrests - A group of claims involving allegations that the police detained or arrested individuals in error after the Company reported rental cars as stolen were previously advanced against the Company. These claims first arose from actions allegedly taken by the Company prior to its emergence from 136 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) bankruptcy reorganization; some claims alleged post-emergence behavior by the Company. These claims have been the subject of press coverage, and the Company has received government inquiries on the matter. The Company has policies to help guide the proper treatment of its customers and to seek to protect itself against the theft of its services or assets, and the Company has taken significant steps to modernize and update those policies. In December 2022, the Company entered into settlement agreements with 364 claimants in full and final resolutions of their claims for an aggregated amount of approximately $ 168 million (the "Settlement"), all of which amount was paid by the Company during December 2022. The Settlement resolved nearly all of the false arrest-related claims being advanced in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Adv. Pro. No. 20-11247 (MFW) and state court in Delaware (captioned Flannery, et al. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., C.A. No. N22C-07-100 and Okoasia, et al. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., C.A. No. N22C-09-531 ). Also, as a result of the Settlements, state court matters pending in Pennsylvania, captioned Lovelace, et al. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 220801729 , and in Florida, captioned Lizasoain, et al. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 2022-015316-CA-1, were dismissed with prejudice. The Company continues to vigorously defend itself and believes that the ultimate resolution of any remaining claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Relatedly, in May 2022, the Company filed a complaint against several of its insurers seeking a determination of its rights under its commercial general liability, and directors and officers liability, insurance policies for these alleged claims in a declaratory judgment action pending in Delaware Superior Court, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al. v. ACE American Insurance Co., et al., C.A. No. N22C-05-130 MMJ (CCLD) . On June 30, 2023, Hertz entered into a confidential settlement agreement with ACE American Insurance Company. On July 10, 2024, the Delaware Superior Court held a hearing on cross-motions for partial summary judgment and summary judgment. The Company entered into confidential settlement agreements with some of the remaining insurers before and after the hearing. On October 8, 2024, the Delaware Superior Court denied the Company's motion for partial summary judgment and granted the cross-motions for summary judgment and partial summary judgment in favor of the remaining general liability insurers. Thereafter, Hertz entered into settlement agreements with the remaining directors' and officers' liability insurers. Share Repurchase Program Litigation – On May 11, 2023, Angelo Cascia, a purported stockholder of Hertz Global, filed a putative class and derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Delaware Chancery Court") against certain current and former directors of Hertz Global, Knighthead Capital Management, LLC ("Knighthead"), Certares Opportunities LLC ("Certares") and CK Amarillo. The claims in the complaint relate to the Company’s share repurchase programs approved in November 2021 and June 2022. Among other allegations, the plaintiff claims Board members breached their fiduciary duties in approving these share repurchase programs and that Knighthead, Certares, and CK Amarillo were unjustly enriched because they gained a majority stake in Hertz Global as a result of share repurchases. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the complaint on July 24, 2023. On March 11, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court held a hearing on defendants' motion to dismiss. On June 20, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. The Delaware Chancery Court dismissed the claims against directors Feikin, Fields, Intrieri and Vougessis with prejudice, dismissed the claims related to the 2021 buyback without prejudice and allowed the remaining claims to proceed. On August 26, 2024, the Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC"), made up of two independent directors, to evaluate and take any necessary actions related to the remaining claims. On October 21, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted a motion to stay the litigation, including all discovery, until March 21, 2025. Securities Class Action Complaint – On May 31, 2024, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the "Florida Middle District Court"), captioned Edward M. Doller v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. et al . (No. 2:24-CV-00513). On September 30, 2024, an amended complaint was filed, following the Florida Middle District Court's appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. The amended complaint asserts claims against Hertz Global, former Company CEO, Stephen M. Scherr, and former Company Chief Financial Officer, Alexandra Brooks, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, including concerning statements regarding demand for EVs. Plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of a putative class, consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Hertz Global's securities between January 6, 2023 and April 24, 2024. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, together with interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. Hertz Global filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on October 30, 2024. On December 19, 2024, the Florida Middle District Court stayed all proceedings, pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss. 137 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Warrant Holder Litigation – The holders of approximately 11 % of the outstanding Public Warrants issued by Hertz Global under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), filed a lawsuit, captioned Discovery Global Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc ., Case No. 2024-0655 (the “Action”), in the Delaware Chancery Court, on June 14, 2024. The complaint in the Action alleges generally that a “Change of Control Event” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) had occurred by virtue of Hertz Global's repurchase of shares between November 2021 and December 31, 2023 and Hertz Global's incurrence of indebtedness. The complaint further asserts that, as a result of the alleged Change of Control Event, the plaintiffs are entitled to a “Change of Control Payment Amount” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) in the amount of $ 20.47 per Public Warrant, or approximately $ 188 million in the aggregate, for their 11 % position. The complaint asserts three claims for breach of contract and seeks a declaration from the Delaware Chancery Court that a Change of Control Event has occurred and that Hertz Global breached the Warrant Agreement by failing to redeem the warrants, monetary damages of at least $ 188 million plus pre- and post-judgment interest, and an order of specific performance, requiring Hertz Global to comply with its contractual obligations under the Warrant Agreement. On June 17, 2024, Hertz Global filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. A hearing took place on November 12, 2024, and on February 7, 2025, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for self-insured liabilities and the bankruptcy-related litigation, none of those reserves are material. For matters where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period. Indemnification Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. In connection with the separation of the car rental business in 2016, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings Inc. that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of, or resulting from, assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. 138 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note 16— Related Party Transactions Other Relationships On June 19, 2024, Hertz entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with Knighthead Annuity & Life Assurance Company, Knighthead Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P., Knighthead (NY) Fund, L.P., Knighthead Master Fund, L.P. and CK Opportunities Fund I, LP (collectively, the “Investors”), which entities are investors affiliated with CK Amarillo, an affiliate of Hertz Holdings, in connection with a backstop for Hertz's Exchangeable Notes offering, as disclosed in Note 7, "Debt." Under the terms of the NPA, Hertz had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investors up to approximately $ 44 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Notes at the same price paid by investors in the offering of Exchangeable Notes. At the time of issuance, the Investors purchased approximately $ 44 million of the Exchangeable Notes on terms no less favorable than those purchased by non-related parties in the offering. On December 5, 2024, Hertz commenced consent solicitations with respect to its First Lien Senior Notes and its Exchangeable Notes to amend certain provisions of the indentures governing the First Lien Senior Notes and the Exchangeable Notes. On December 13, 2024, the Investors affiliated with CK Amarillo, an affiliate of Hertz Holdings, holding Exchangeable Notes, collectively received approximately $ 1 million in consent fees (the “CK Consent Fee”) in exchange for tendering their consents to amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. The CK Consent Fee paid to the Investors was at a consent fee level no greater than the consent fee level paid to non-related holders of the Exchangeable Notes. In connection with its vehicle rental businesses, the Company enters into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, the Company also procures goods and services from thousands of vendors. Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with members of the Company's Board. The Company believes that all such rental and procurement transactions involved terms no less favorable to the Company than those that it believes would have been obtained in the absence of such affiliation. The Company's Audit Committee oversees compliance through our Standards of Business Conduct, reviews conflicts of interest involving directors and determines whether to approve each transaction that involves the Company or any of its affiliates, on one hand, and (directly or indirectly) a director or member of his or her family or any entity managed by any such person, on the other hand. Note 17— Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Hertz Global Equity of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $ 0.01 per share, and 1,000,000,000 shares of Hertz Global common stock authorized, par value $ 0.01 per share. Public Warrants In June 2021, Hertz Global issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants. See Note 18 , " Public Warrants – Hertz Global," for attributes of the Public Warrants, which are classified at fair value as a liability for financial reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP. Share Repurchase Programs for Common Stock In June 2022, Hertz Global's independent Audit Committee recommended, and its Board approved the 2022 Share Repurchase Program that authorized repurchases of up to $ 2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program, announced on June 15, 2022, has no expiration date, does not obligate Hertz Global to acquire any particular amount of common stock and can be discontinued at any time. However, during the effective period of Amendment No. 8, as disclosed in Note 7, "Debt," in Part II, Item 8 of this 2024 Annual Report, the repurchase of Hertz Global's common stock is not permitted between April 16, 2024 139 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) through April 1, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $ 874 million remains available under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2023, a total of 19,381,160 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased in open-market transactions at an average share price of $ 15.01 for an aggregate purchase price of $ 291 million, excluding applicable excise tax. Since inception of the 2022 Share Repurchase Program a total of 66,684,169 shares of Hertz Global's common stock have been repurchased in open-market transactions at an average share price of $ 16.88 for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1.1 billion, excluding applicable excise tax. There were no share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2024. Common shares repurchased are included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Hertz Global funded the share repurchases with available cash and dividend distributions from Hertz. Subsequent to the expiration of Amendment No. 8, any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of Hertz Global's management through a variety of methods, such as open-market transactions (including pre-set trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of any share repurchases. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including Public Warrants and Exchangeable Notes, except when the effect would be antidilutive. Dilutive shares for stock-based instruments and Public Warrants are computed using the treasury stock method and Exchangeable Notes are computed using the if-converted method. Additionally, the Company removes the income or expense impacts related to Public Warrants and Exchangeable Notes when computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share, when the impacts are dilutive. 140 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share: Years Ended December 31, (In millions, except per share data) (1) 2024 2023 2022 Numerator: Net income (loss) available to Hertz Global common stockholders, basic $ ( 2,862 ) $ 616 2,059 Change in fair value of Public Warrants — ( 163 ) ( 704 ) Net income (loss) available to Hertz Global common stockholders, diluted $ ( 2,862 ) $ 452 $ 1,355 Denominator: Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 306 313 379 Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and PSUs — 1 1 Dilutive effect of Public Warrants — 11 23 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 306 326 403 Antidilutive Public Warrants 167 — — Antidilutive stock options, RSUs and PSUs 13 6 6 Antidilutive shares related to Exchangeable Notes 19 — — Total antidilutive 199 6 6 Earnings (loss) per common share: Basic $ ( 9.34 ) $ 1.97 $ 5.43 Diluted $ ( 9.34 ) $ 1.39 $ 3.36 (1) The table above is denoted in millions, excluding earnings (loss) per common share. Amounts are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands, and as a result, may not agree to the amounts shown in the table when calculated in millions. Note 18— Public Warrants – Hertz Global The Company accounts for its Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Topic 480, under which the Public Warrants meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument. Although these are publicly traded warrants, they are classified as liabilities due to certain settlement provisions that are only applicable in the event of change of control (as defined by the Public Warrant Agreement). The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. See Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements." The Public Warrants entitle the holders to receive shares of Hertz Global common stock upon exercise. The Public Warrants have a 30-year term and are exercisable from the date of issuance until June 30, 2051, at which time any unexercised Public Warrants will expire, and the rights of the holders to purchase Hertz Global common stock will terminate. The exercise price of the Public Warrants is subject to adjustment from time to time upon any payment of cash dividends relating to Hertz Global's common stock and the occurrence of certain dilutive events as described in the Public Warrant Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes in June 2024, as disclosed in Note 7, "Debt," an anti-dilution provision in the Public Warrant Agreement required that the exercise price and warrant number be adjusted. This resulted in the exercise price of the Public Warrants decreasing from $ 13.80 to $ 13.61 , effective upon the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes on June 28, 2024. Effective concurrently with the change in exercise price, the number of shares of Hertz Global common stock to which a holder of a Public Warrant is entitled upon exercise of a Public Warrant increased from one share to 1.0140 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 12,500 Public Warrants were exercised, of which 8,000 were cashless exercises, 1,300 were exercised for $ 13.61 per share and 3,200 were exercised for $ 13.80 per share. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 49,000 Public Warrants were exercised, of which 31,000 were 141 Table of Contents HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) cashless exercises and 18,000 were exercised for $ 13.80 per share. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 82,700,000 Public Warrants remain outstanding and the exercise price is $ 13.61 . Note 19— Segment Information The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine segment profitability in order to assess performance and allocate resources for the Company's reportable segments based on monitoring of budgeted versus actual results. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments and organized based primarily on the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows: • Americas RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations in this segment and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands; and • International RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in locations other than the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations, a majority of which are in Europe, and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands. In addition to its reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate") which includes general corporate assets and expenses and net interest expense on non-vehicle debt. Corporate includes other items necessary to reconcile the reportable segments to the Company's total amounts. The following tables provide revenue, significant expenses, other segment expenses and the segment measure of profitability, Adjusted EBITDA, by reportable segment, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes for Hertz Global and Hertz.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this 2024 Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this inherent risk. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included in this 2024 Annual Report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
