Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) shares faltered Friday, on reporting results for its fourth quarter and full year 2025.
Revenue totaled $2.0 billion in the fourth quarter and $8.5 billion for full-year 2025, reflecting sequential improvement in pricing and resulting in Hertz's strongest year-over-year revenue performance since Q1 2024.
• Year-over-year Revenue per Unit (RPU) and Revenue Per Day (RPD) metrics improved sequentially through 2025. This momentum has continued into Q1 2026 as the Company expects to deliver mid-single digit revenue growth, driven by continued progress on internal revenue management initiatives and a positive industry pricing environment.
• Profitability improved more than $2 billion year over year, with net loss totaling $194 million in Q4 and $747 million for the full year; Diluted EPS showed a significant year-over-year improvement, landing at $(0.72) for the quarter and $(2.43) for 2025.
• Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for Q4 was $(205) million, an improvement of approximately $150 million year-over-year. This includes more than a $100 million impact from several transitory headwinds. Full year Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $(339) million, an improvement of more than $1 billion year over year as revenue optimization, utilization gains, and cost controls took hold.
Depreciation per Unit per Month (DPU) was $330 in Q4 and $300 for the full year, representing a year-over-year improvement of 44%, supported by disciplined fleet rotation. Depreciation was weighed down by an approximately $60 million non-cash charge driven by a revised third party forecast of residual values.
HTZ shares let go of 14 cents, or 1.4%, Thursday to $9.71.
