AI Brief
Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026TL;DR. Hertz posted Q2 revenue up 10% to $2.4B and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA of $81M (above revised guidance top end), but cut full-year liquidity guidance to $1.0–1.4B from ~$1.5B after removing ATM proceeds, while flagging substantial 2028–2029 debt maturities and a sharp drop in market capitalization.
- + Q2 revenue rose 10% year-over-year to $2.4 billion with record second-quarter RPD excluding the 2022 pandemic peak.
- + Q2 Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $81 million, a $63 million year-over-year improvement and above the top end of revised guidance.
- + Q2 GAAP net income of $64 million (Diluted GAAP EPS $0.05) versus a $294 million loss a year earlier.
- + Oro's first AV partnership with Uber's robotaxi program is on track to begin later this year in San Francisco after drivers logged over six million miles.
- + RPU rose 8% year-over-year above the North Star target, and full-year RPU is now expected to trend above the $1,500 North Star.
- + For 2027, Hertz expects to reach full-year net income profitability and be free cash flow positive, with a continued $1 billion Adjusted Corporate EBITDA target.
- − Full-year liquidity guidance was lowered to $1.0–$1.4 billion from about $1.5 billion after removing expected ATM proceeds.
- − Adjusted DOE per Day rose 4% year-over-year to $37.49, slightly above company expectations due to higher revenue-related variable costs and sale-leaseback expenses.
- − Recall activity ran approximately 300% higher year-over-year, impacting an average of nearly 15,000 vehicles and clipping ~$30 million from Q2 Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.
- − Market capitalization fell to roughly one-third of its level 90 days earlier despite management's view of stronger fundamentals.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
