Exhibit 99.1

HERTZ ANNOUNCES Q1 2026 RESULTS, STRONGEST REVENUE GROWTH IN THREE YEARS

With the launch of Oro Mobility, Hertz expands into new mobility channels and advances its platform for growth

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The transformation of Hertz continues to build sustained momentum,” said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. “We set ambitious goals for the quarter and delivered meaningful progress across revenue, asset efficiency, and unit economics. We achieved our strongest year‑over‑year revenue growth in three years alongside profitability improvements, demonstrating that our strategy is translating into tangible results.”

On the Company's recent news, West added: "The launch of Oro Mobility marks an important milestone in the expansion of the Hertz growth platform. As the mobility ecosystem evolves, there is a clear need for an operational layer that connects demand platforms with vehicles and autonomous technology at scale. Leveraging Hertz’s century of expertise in complex fleet operations, Oro is purpose‑built to address that gap by delivering flexible, integrated fleet solutions for both driver‑led and autonomous models, opening a new chapter for Hertz.”

ESTERO, Fla, May 7, 2026 – Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz," "Hertz Global," or the "Company") today reported results for its first quarter 2026.

Q1 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

•Revenue totaled $2.0 billion in the first quarter, up 11% year over year, Hertz's strongest year-over-year revenue growth in three years, driven by continued progress in its commercial strategies.

•Year-over-year Revenue per Unit (RPU) and Revenue Per Day (RPD) metrics continued improving sequentially, with RPD delivering a 5.5% increase, its most significant year-over-year improvement since 2022.

•GAAP net loss for the quarter totaled $333 million and Diluted GAAP EPS was $(1.06). Adjusted net loss was $224 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $(0.72), resulting in a year-over-year improvement of $105 million and an Adjusted EPS improvement of $0.35.

•Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $(161) million, an improvement of nearly 50% year over year. This is inclusive of a negative impact of over $25 million from vehicle recalls.

•Utilization was 79% in the first quarter, a decline of 70 basis points year-over-year; excluding elevated recalls, Utilization was up 140 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025.

•Net Depreciation per Unit per Month (Net DPU) was $312 in in the first quarter, approaching the Company's North Star target and representing a year-over-year improvement of 13%, supported by disciplined fleet rotation. The used car market was in the seasonal trough through February, but has since improved considerably.

•Hertz earned the only car rental spot on USA Today's list of Most Trusted Brands for 2026 and the highest year over year improvement of any car rental company on Business Travel News' satisfaction survey.

•The Company continues to drive improvements in customer experience to strengthen its Global Net Promoter score consistently across the business, measuring record satisfaction in Europe in the first quarter.

•Hertz ended the first quarter with approximately $837 million of liquidity and in April completed additional financing that added approximately $200 million.

PLATFORM HIGHLIGHTS

•Hertz recently launched an affiliated operating company Oro Mobility (Oro) to provide driver-led and autonomous end‑to‑end fleet management solutions to partners across emerging mobility segments.

•Hertz Car Sales continues to expand its digital retail presence through a new partnership with eBay, bringing thousands of Hertz Certified, near-new vehicles to one of the world’s largest online automotive marketplaces.

Q1 Summary

Hertz’s first quarter performance underscores that its transformation is driving tangible results. Through its “Back-to-Basics" strategy, the Company is delivering measurable progress in its core rental operations with a focus on disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization, and rigorous cost control, all guided by its North Star metrics of DPU sub $300, RPU over $1,500, and DOE per Transaction Day in the low $30s.

In the first quarter, the Company delivered sequential improvements through its “Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right” strategy with its youngest fleet in nearly a decade. Hertz achieved revenue of $2.0 billion in the first quarter, up 11% year over year and marking its strongest revenue growth in three years through continued, structural improvements to its commercial strategies. The Company drove sequential, year-over-year improvement in RPU and RPD, with RPD delivering a 5.5% increase, which was its most significant year-over-year improvement since the the travel recovery and microchip-driven spike in 2022. These results, along with the progress towards the Company’s North Star DPU target and continued implementation of cost management initiatives, resulted in an Adjusted Corporate EBITDA improvement of nearly 50% year over year. Although Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Transaction Day increased 3%, Adjusted DOE improved approximately 2% year over year when normalizing for higher RPD-related variable costs that are EBITDA accretive, higher damages costs that are recovered through revenue and are EBITDA neutral, and higher real estate costs following sale leaseback transactions executed last year. The Company also continues to make systemic improvements across every customer touchpoint to enhance its rental experience.

Recall activity was approximately 300% higher year over year and reduced Utilization by roughly 200 basis points, impacted Transaction Days by approximately 930,000, and resulted in a revenue impact of about $50 million. The total impact to Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was more than $25 million. The Company is actively managing through this by redeploying available fleet to higher‑demand markets, working with OEMs and government officials for both tactical and structural improvements, and keeping rentable fleet well utilized relative to demand through disciplined capacity planning. The underlying business performed well in the first quarter, demonstrating that this transitory headwind has not stopped structural progress.

Platform for Growth

Hertz’s strategic transformation has two goals: to improve its core operations, while building a diversified, value-creating platform for growth. This platform spans four strategic areas – Rent-a-Car, Service, Fleet, and Mobility – each with unique potential to scale. The Company remains focused on developing capabilities across its platform to create new value beyond its rental car business.

In the first quarter, Hertz made critical advancements in the highest priority areas of its platform. In Rent-a-Car, Hertz launched an advanced fleet planning engine enabling greater precision and efficiency, which the Company expects will deliver positive impacts across the business. In Fleet, the evolution of Hertz Car Sales into an omnichannel retail business was bolstered by the announcement of a new partnership with eBay, putting the Company's near-new, certified inventory in front of more customers than ever before.

Oro Mobility

In Mobility, Hertz recently launched its affiliated operating company, Oro, to provide flexible, integrated fleet management solutions across a range of mobility segments. As the industry transitions from personally owned vehicles to commercially operated fleets, Oro aims to fill a critical ownership, orchestration, and operations gap. Backed by Hertz’s core strengths in fleet and facility management, large-scale logistics, vehicle maintenance, and a management team with direct AV operational experience, Oro is designed to manage and serve fleets reliably, efficiently, safely, and at scale.

With the scale of a global operator and the focus of an independent entity, Oro delivers solutions for all fleets. Oro has announced Uber as a major partner across both autonomous and driver‑led operations, extending the companies’ long‑standing rideshare rental partnership.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL DATA, SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In this earnings release, we include select unaudited financial data of Hertz Global, Supplemental Schedules, which are provided to present segment results, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. Following the Supplemental Schedules, the Company provides definitions for terminology used throughout the earnings release and the Company’s rationale regarding the importance and usefulness of non-GAAP measures for investors and management.

Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update was made in an effort to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Also effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its definition of Average Rentable Vehicles and Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period, which the Company believes is a better, more accurate measure of its vehicles. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS

___________________________________________________________________

The term “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company's segment measure of profitability and complies with GAAP when used in that context.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation of, superior to, or as a substitute for measures of the Company's financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS")

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; vehicle and non-vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; acquisition accounting-related depreciation and amortization; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items on a pre-tax basis. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better align with the management's view of the Company's ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes a provision (benefit) for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate. The combined statutory rate is management's estimate of the Company's long-term tax rate. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Its most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are important operating metrics because they allow management and investors to assess operational performance of the Company's business, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company's competitors.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; non-vehicle depreciation and amortization; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better align with management's view of the Company's ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues.

Management uses these measures as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, and analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. These measures enable management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics most meaningful to the business of renting and leasing vehicles. They also allow management and investors to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as its reportable segments. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is also utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

Adjusted Direct Operating Expense per Transaction Day (“Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day”)

Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is calculated as Direct Operating Expenses - as reported, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and adjustments for certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items, divided by the number of Transaction Days during the period. Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s cost efficiency on a per unit basis excluding the impact of variable direct operating expense fluctuations attributable to changes in volume, so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. Its most comparable GAAP measure is DOE per Transaction Day.

Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow

Adjusted operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities net of the non-cash add back for vehicle depreciation and reserves, and exclusive of bankruptcy related payments made post emergence. Adjusted operating cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash generated from operations when fully burdened by fleet costs.

Adjusted free cash flow represents adjusted operating cash flow plus the impact of net non-vehicle capital expenditures and net fleet growth after financing. Adjusted free cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for, but not limited to, the reduction of non-vehicle debt, share repurchase and acquisition.

The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Net Fleet Growth After Financing

U.S. and International Rental Car segments Fleet Growth is defined as revenue earning vehicles expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus vehicle depreciation and net vehicle financing, which includes borrowings, repayments and the change in restricted cash associated with vehicles. Fleet Growth is important as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.

Net Non-vehicle Debt

Net Non-vehicle Debt is calculated as non-vehicle debt as reported on the Company's balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company's Senior Term Loans, Senior RCF, First Lien Senior Notes, Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured Notes, Promissory Notes and certain other non-vehicle indebtedness of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net Non-vehicle Debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company's corporate leverage. Net Non-vehicle Debt also assists in the evaluation of the Company's ability to service its non-vehicle debt without reference to the expense associated with the vehicle debt, which is collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-vehicle debt facilities.

Net Vehicle Debt

Net Vehicle Debt is calculated as vehicle debt as reported on the Company's balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs associated with vehicle debt, less restricted cash associated with vehicles. Restricted cash associated with vehicle debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Company's vehicle debt facilities. Net Vehicle Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company's leverage with respect to its vehicle assets.

Total Net Debt

Total Net Debt is calculated as total debt, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs are required to be reported as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt obligation under GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects that these costs have on debt will more accurately reflect the

Company's net debt position. Total Net Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company's gross leverage.

Net Corporate Leverage

Net Corporate Leverage is calculated as non-vehicle net debt divided by Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Corporate Leverage is important to management and investors as it measures the Company's corporate leverage net of unrestricted cash. Net Corporate Leverage also assists in the evaluation of the Company's ability to service its non-vehicle debt with reference to the generation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.

KEY METRICS

Available Car Days

Available Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period.

Average Vehicles ("Fleet Capacity" or "Capacity")

Average Vehicles is determined using a daily average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of our vehicles. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.

Average Rentable Vehicles

Average Rentable Vehicles reflects Average Vehicles excluding vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its definition of Average Rentable Vehicles to use a daily average of rentable vehicles as opposed to a simple average of rentable vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of its rentable vehicles. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.

Depreciation Per Unit Per Month ("Depreciation Per Unit" or "DPU")

Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it reflects how effectively the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD" or "RPD"; also referred to as "pricing")

Total RPD represents revenue generated per transaction day, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measure of changes in the underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU", "RPU" or "Total RPU Per Month")

Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of revenue generated per vehicle in the rental fleet each month, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased, or asset efficiency.

Transaction Days ("Days"; also referred to as "volume")

Transaction Days represents the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a

given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue-generating days.

Vehicle Utilization ("Utilization")

Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to rentable fleet capacity.
