    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 31 окт 2022 16:02:01   America/New_York

    PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) today announced financial results for third quarter 2022.

    We ended the quarter with revenues 18% above third quarter 2021, at $3.5 billion, a new quarterly revenue record, surpassing our second quarter 2022 record, driven by continued strong demand and increased revenue per day.

    Net income was $1.0 billion and our Adjusted EBITDA was $1.5 billion, our best quarterly net income and Adjusted EBITDA in our history.

    Our liquidity position at the end of the quarter was approximately $1.7 billion, with an additional $2.6 billion of fleet funding capacity. We have well-laddered corporate debt and no meaningful maturities until 2024.

    “I want to thank all the employees for their terrific efforts in helping us deliver the best quarterly results in our Company’s history,” said Joe Ferraro, Avis Budget Group Chief Executive Officer. “Despite growing concerns around an economic slowdown, our strong summer performance, driven by increased demand in both the commercial and leisure segments, carried through to September. We remain optimistic this will continue throughout the Fall and into the holiday season.”

    Q3 Highlights

    • Total Company revenues increased by 18% and 29% compared to third quarter 2021 and 2019, respectively.
    • Adjusted EBITDA in the Americas was $1.2 billion for the third quarter 2022 driven by record demand.   It is the best quarterly Adjusted EBITDA in Americas’ history.
    • Adjusted EBITDA in International was $291 million for the third quarter 2022 driven by increased pricing and return of demand. It is the best quarterly Adjusted EBITDA in International's history.
    • QuickPass was successfully deployed across all major US airports allowing customers to bypass the counter, select their vehicle, and use an automated express exit and completion of their rental, including their receipt, all through their phone. Additionally, we continue to invest in the build-out of our electric vehicle infrastructure.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements.” Any statements that refer to outlook, expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results, including all statements related to our future results, future demand for our services, and global economic conditions are forward-looking statements. Various risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to, COVID-19, which has had, and is expected to continue to have a significant impact on our operations, and resulting economic conditions and related restrictions, the high level of competition in the mobility industry, changes in our fleet costs, including as a result of a change in the cost of new vehicles, manufacturer recalls and/or the value of used vehicles, disruption in the supply of new vehicles, disposition of vehicles not covered by manufacturer repurchase programs, our ability to achieve and maintain cost savings, the financial condition of the manufacturers that supply our rental vehicles, including as a result of the global semiconductor shortage, which could affect their ability to perform their obligations under our repurchase and/or guaranteed depreciation arrangements, the significant volatility in travel demand as a result of COVID-19, the absence of an improvement in or any further deterioration in economic conditions generally, particularly during our peak season and/or in key market segments, any occurrence or threat of terrorism, the current and any future pandemic diseases or other natural disasters, any changes to the cost or supply of fuel, risks related to acquisitions or integration of acquired businesses, risks associated with litigation, including class action lawsuits, governmental or regulatory inquiries or investigations, risks related to the security of our information technology systems, disruptions in our communication networks, changes in tax or other regulations, a significant increase in interest rates or borrowing costs, our ability to obtain financing for our global operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via asset-backed securities markets, any fluctuations related to the mark-to-market of derivatives which hedge our exposure to exchange rates, interest rates and fuel costs, our ability to meet the covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, and our ability to accurately estimate our future results and implement our cost savings actions. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our performance or achievements, such as the potential effects on the world economy and markets, elections and government shutdowns, as a result of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in Avis Budget Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and in other filings and furnishings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

    This release includes financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted free cash flow, as well as other financial measures that are not considered generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures as defined under SEC rules. Important information regarding such measures is contained in the financial tables to this release and in Appendix I, including the definitions of these measures and reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measures. The Company and its management believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in measuring our comparable period-over-period results. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted free cash flow, Adjusted pretax income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are net income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss) attributable to Avis Budget Group, Inc. and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively. Foreign currency translation effects on our results are quantified by translating the current period’s non-U.S. dollar-denominated results using the currency exchange rates of the prior period of comparison including any related gains and losses on currency hedges. Per-unit fleet costs, which represent vehicle depreciation, lease charges and gain or loss on vehicle sales, divided by average rental fleet, are calculated on a per-month basis.

    DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS

    Adjusted EBITDA

    The accompanying press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, which represents 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 unprecedented personal-injury and other legal matters, net, which includes amounts recorded in excess of $5 million related to class action lawsuits, non-operational charges related to shareholder activist activity, which include third party advisory, legal and other professional service fees, COVID-19 charges, other (income) expense, net and income taxes. COVID-19 charges include unusual, direct and incremental costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic such as minimum annual guaranteed rent in excess of concession fees for the period, overflow parking for idle vehicles and related shuttling costs, incremental cleaning supplies to sanitize vehicles and facilities, and losses associated with vehicles damaged in overflow parking lots, net of insurance proceeds. Adjusted EBITDA includes stock-based compensation expense and deferred financing fee amortization totaling $13 million and $16 million in third quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and totaling $36 million and $41 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

    We revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude other (income) expense, net. We did not revise prior years’ Adjusted EBITDA because there were no other charges similar in nature. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating the aggregate performance of our operating businesses and in comparing our results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is the measure that is used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component in the determination of management's compensation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and 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 Earnings Non-GAAP Measures
    The accompanying tables present Adjusted pretax income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, which exclude certain items. We believe that these measures referred to above are useful to investors as supplemental measures in evaluating our aggregate performance. We exclude restructuring and other related charges, transaction-related costs, costs related to early extinguishment of debt and certain other items as such items are not representative of the results of operations of our business less a provision for income taxes derived utilizing applicable statutory tax rates for each item. A reconciliation of our Adjusted earnings Non-GAAP measures from the appropriate measures recognized under GAAP is provided on Table 5.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow
    Represents 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 to the appropriate measure recognized under GAAP is provided on Table 4.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin
    Represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.

    Available Rental Days
    Defined as Average Rental Fleet times the numbers of days in a given period.

    Average Rental Fleet
    Represents the average number of vehicles in our fleet during a given period of time.

    Currency Exchange Rate Effects
    Represents 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 Debt
    Represents corporate debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

    Net Corporate Leverage
    Represents Net Corporate Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months prior to the date of calculation.

    Per-Unit Fleet Costs
    Represents vehicle depreciation, lease charges and gain or loss on vehicles sales, divided by Average Rental Fleet.

    Rental Days
    Represents the total number of days (or portion thereof) a vehicle was rented during a 24-hour period.

    Revenue per Day
    Represents revenues divided by Rental Days.

    Vehicle Utilization
    Represents Rental Days divided by Available Rental Days.
