Avis Budget Group, Inc. (
NASDAQ: CAR) announced
financial results for second quarter 2023 today.
We ended the quarter with revenues of $3.1
billion, driven by strong demand and seasonal revenue per day
increase.
Net income was $436 million and our Adjusted
EBITDA1 was $737 million. Utilization was up 50 basis points
compared to second quarter 2022, at 70.5%, as our fleet continues
to be well positioned to meet growing demand.
Our liquidity position at the end of the quarter
was approximately $1.1 billion, with an additional $1.1 billion of
fleet funding capacity. We have well-laddered corporate debt, and
after giving effect to our euro note repayment in September 2023,
will have no meaningful maturities until mid-2025.
“Our strong second quarter results continued to
showcase the earnings power of our Company. These results reflect
the hard work of our team and their exceptional ability to
capitalize on a strong and increasing travel demand environment,”
said Joe Ferraro, Avis Budget Group Chief Executive Officer.
“Summer travel has continued to be robust with elevated peak period
demand and seasonally improved pricing. Our teams remain focused
and ready as we transition into our busiest season of the
year.”
Q2 HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenues were $3.1
billion with rental days up 4% compared to second quarter
2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the Americas was
$631 million, driven by strong demand and improved
utilization.
- Adjusted EBITDA in
International was $126 million, driven by strong seasonally
increasing volume.
- Voluntary cash
contribution of nearly $400 million to vehicle programs in the
quarter.
- In July 2023, we
issued €400 million Senior Notes due July 2030 primarily to redeem
our outstanding €300 million Senior Notes due November 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY
METRICS
This release includes financial measures such as
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as well as other
financial measures, that are not considered generally accepted
accounting principle (“GAAP”) measures as defined under SEC rules.
Important information regarding such non-GAAP measures is contained
in the tables within this release and in Appendix I, including the
definitions of these measures and reconciliations to the most
comparable GAAP measures.
We measure performance principally using the
following key metrics: (i) rental days, (ii) revenue per day, (iii)
vehicle utilization, and (iv) per-unit fleet costs. Our rental
days, revenue per day and vehicle utilization metrics are all
calculated based on the actual rental of the vehicle during a
24-hour period. We believe that this methodology provides
management with the most relevant metrics in order to effectively
manage the performance of our business. Our calculations may not be
comparable to the calculations of similarly-titled metrics by other
companies. We present currency exchange rate effects on our key
metrics to provide a method of assessing how our business performed
excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations.
Currency exchange rate effects are calculated by translating the
current-period's results at the prior-period average exchange rates
plus any related gains and losses on currency hedges.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this press release
constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to known
and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by any such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include
information concerning our future financial performance, business
strategy, projected plans and objectives. These statements may be
identified by the fact that they do not relate to historical or
current facts and may use words such as “believes,” “expects,”
“anticipates,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “would,”
“intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “forecasts,”
“guidance,” and similar words, expressions or phrases. The
following important factors and assumptions could affect our future
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors
include, but are not limited to:
- the high level of competition in
the mobility industry, including from new companies or technology,
and the impact such competition may have on pricing and rental
volume;
- a change in our fleet costs,
including as a result of a change in the cost of new vehicles,
resulting from inflation or otherwise, manufacturer recalls,
disruption in the supply of new vehicles, shortages in
semiconductors used in new vehicle production, and/or a change in
the price at which we dispose of used vehicles either in the used
vehicle market or under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation
programs;
- the results of operations or
financial condition of the manufacturers of our vehicles, which
could impact their ability to perform their payment obligations
under our agreements with them, including repurchase and/or
guaranteed depreciation arrangements, and/or their willingness or
ability to make vehicles available to us or the mobility industry
as a whole on commercially reasonable terms or at all;
- levels of and volatility in travel
demand, including future volatility in airline passenger
traffic;
- a deterioration in economic
conditions, resulting in a recession or otherwise, particularly
during our peak season or in key market segments;
- an occurrence or threat of
terrorism, the current and any future pandemic diseases, natural
disasters, military conflict, including the ongoing military
conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or civil unrest in the
locations in which we operate, and the potential effects of
sanctions on the world economy and markets and/or international
trade;
- any substantial changes in the cost
or supply of fuel, vehicle parts, energy, labor or other resources
on which we depend to operate our business, including as a result
of COVID-19, inflation, the ongoing military conflict between
Russia and Ukraine, and any embargos on oil sales imposed on or by
the Russian government;
- our ability to continue to
successfully implement or achieve our business plans and
strategies, achieve and maintain cost savings and adapt our
business to changes in mobility;
- political, economic or commercial
instability in the countries in which we operate, and our ability
to conform to multiple and conflicting laws or regulations in those
countries;
- our ability to dispose of vehicles
in the used-vehicle market on attractive terms;
- our dependence on third-party
distribution channels, third-party suppliers of other services and
co-marketing arrangements with third parties;
- risks related to completed or
future acquisitions or investments that we may pursue, including
the incurrence of incremental indebtedness to help fund such
transactions and our ability to promptly and effectively integrate
any acquired businesses or capitalize on joint ventures,
partnerships and other investments;
- our ability to utilize derivative
instruments, and the impact of derivative instruments we utilize,
which can be affected by fluctuations in interest rates, gasoline
prices and exchange rates, changes in government regulations and
other factors;
- our exposure to uninsured or unpaid
claims in excess of historical levels and our ability to obtain
insurance at desired levels and the cost of that insurance;
- risks associated with litigation or
governmental or regulatory inquiries, or any failure or inability
to comply with laws, regulations or contractual obligations or any
changes in laws, regulations or contractual obligations, including
with respect to personally identifiable information and consumer
privacy, labor and employment, and tax;
- risks related to protecting the
integrity of, and preventing unauthorized access to, our
information technology systems or those of our third-party vendors,
licensees, dealers, independent operators and independent
contractors, and protecting the confidential information of our
employees and customers against security breaches, including
physical or cybersecurity breaches, attacks, or other disruptions,
compliance with privacy and data protection regulation, and the
effects of any potential increase in cyberattacks on the world
economy and markets and/or international trade;
- any impact on us from the actions
of our third-party vendors, licensees, dealers, independent
operators and independent contractors and/or disputes that may
arise out of our agreements with such parties;
- any major disruptions in our
communication networks or information systems;
- risks related to tax obligations
and the effect of future changes in tax laws and accounting
standards;
- risks related to our indebtedness,
including our substantial outstanding debt obligations, recent and
future interest rate increases, which increase our financing costs,
downgrades by rating agencies and our ability to incur
substantially more debt;
- our ability to obtain financing for
our global operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet
through the issuance of asset-backed securities and use of the
global lending markets;
- our ability to meet the financial
and other covenants contained in the agreements governing our
indebtedness, or to obtain a waiver or amendment of such covenants
should we be unable to meet such covenants;
- significant changes in the
assumptions and estimates that are used in our impairment testing
for goodwill or intangible assets, which could result in a
significant impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets;
and
- other business, economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory, political or technological
factors affecting our operations, pricing or services.
We operate in a continuously changing business
environment and new risk factors emerge from time to time. New risk
factors, factors beyond our control, or changes in the impact of
identified risk factors may cause actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon
as a prediction of actual results. Moreover, we do not assume
responsibility if future results are materially different from
those forecasted or anticipated. Other factors and assumptions not
identified above, including those discussed in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” in Item 2 and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our
quarterly report and in similarly titled sections set forth in Item
7 and in Item 1A and in other portions of our 2022 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 16, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), may cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements.
Although we believe that our assumptions are
reasonable, any or all of our forward-looking statements may prove
to be inaccurate and we can make no guarantees about our future
performance. Should unknown risks or uncertainties materialize or
underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could
differ materially from past results and/or those anticipated,
estimated or projected. We undertake no obligation to release any
revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to
report the occurrence of unanticipated events. For any
forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
For additional information concerning forward-looking statements
and other important factors, refer to our most recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Our calculation of rental days and revenue per day may not be
comparable to the calculation of similarly-titled metrics by other
companies. Currency exchange rate effects are calculated by
translating the current-period's results at the prior-period
average exchange rates plus any related gains and losses on
currency hedges. |

Appendix I
Avis Budget Group,
Inc.DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY
METRICS
Adjusted EBITDAThe accompanying
press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure
most directly comparable to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before
non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization; any impairment
charges; restructuring and other related charges; early
extinguishment of debt costs; non-vehicle related interest;
transaction-related costs, net; charges for legal matters, net,
which includes amounts recorded in excess of $5 million related to
class action lawsuits and personal injury matters; non-operational
charges related to shareholder activist activity, which includes
third party advisory, legal and other professional fees; COVID-19
charges, net; cloud computing costs; other (income) expense, net;
and income taxes.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance
of our operating businesses and in comparing our results from
period to period. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors because it allows them to assess our results of
operations and financial condition on the same basis that
management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. A
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from net income (loss) recognized
under GAAP is provided on Table 5.
Adjusted Free Cash
FlowRepresents net cash provided by operating activities
adjusted to reflect the cash inflows and outflows relating to
capital expenditures, the investing and financing activities of our
vehicle programs, asset sales, if any, and to exclude debt
extinguishment costs, transaction-related costs, restructuring and
other related charges, charges for unprecedented personal-injury
and other legal matters, COVID-19 charges, other (income) expense,
and non-operational charges related to shareholder activist
activity. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to
management and investors in measuring the cash generated that is
available to be used to repay debt obligations, repurchase stock,
pay dividends and invest in future growth through new business
development activities or acquisitions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow
should not be construed as a substitute in measuring operating
results or liquidity, and our presentation of Adjusted Free Cash
Flow may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by
other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow from
net cash provided by operating activities recognized under GAAP is
provided on Table 5.
Adjusted EBITDA MarginRepresents
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
Available Rental DaysDefined as

average number of vehicles in our fleet during a given period of
time.
Currency Exchange Rate
EffectsRepresents the difference between current-period
results as reported and current-period results translated at the
prior-period average exchange rates plus any related currency
hedges.
Net Corporate DebtRepresents
corporate debt minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net Corporate LeverageRepresents
Net Corporate Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months
prior to the date of calculation.
Per-Unit Fleet CostsRepresents
vehicle depreciation, lease charges and gain or loss on vehicles
sales, divided by Average Rental Fleet.
Rental DaysRepresents the total
number of days (or portion thereof) a vehicle was rented during a
24-hour period.
