Insights

Financial Analyst

Avis posts modest Q2 results with $3B revenue and improved EBITDA amid strategic shifts toward premium services and autonomous partnerships.

Avis Budget Group delivered a mixed financial performance in Q2 2025, with $3.0 billion in revenue, just $5 million in net income, and $277 million in Adjusted EBITDA. This represents extremely thin profit margins, suggesting significant cost pressures despite stable revenue generation.

Regional performance shows divergent trends. The Americas segment contributed $220 million in Adjusted EBITDA, up from $186 million year-over-year, driven by lower fleet costs and improved vehicle utilization despite flat rental days and slightly weaker pricing (down 1%). The International segment posted $82 million in Adjusted EBITDA compared to $48 million last year, benefiting from stronger pricing and decreased fleet costs, though rental days declined.

On the capital structure front, Avis has made strategic debt refinancing moves to extend maturities and optimize its debt profile. In May, the company issued $600 million in unsecured Senior Notes, using proceeds to fully repay a secured floating rate term loan due in 2025 and partially pay down Senior Notes due in 2027. Additionally, they amended their $1.1 billion floating rate term loan, pushing maturity from 2027 to 2032. This debt restructuring improves their financial flexibility and reduces near-term refinancing pressures.

The company maintains healthy liquidity with nearly $950 million on hand plus $1.7 billion in fleet funding capacity, providing substantial financial cushion to navigate market fluctuations and invest in strategic initiatives. The minimal net income relative to revenue suggests ongoing challenges in translating top-line performance into bottom-line results, even as operational improvements drive better EBITDA outcomes year-over-year.

Transportation Innovation Strategist

The strategic initiatives announced by Avis Budget Group signal a significant pivot in their business model toward both premium services and future mobility solutions. The launch of Avis First represents a calculated move to segment their market and capture higher-margin business travelers and luxury consumers through differentiated service levels – essentially creating an entirely new category within car rental. This premium offering with curbside service, dedicated concierge, and current-model-year vehicles directly addresses pain points in the traditional rental experience while enabling premium pricing.

More transformative is the multi-year Waymo partnership for autonomous ride-hailing in Dallas. This positions Avis as a critical infrastructure partner in the autonomous vehicle ecosystem, leveraging their core competency in fleet management while diversifying beyond traditional car rental. The structure of the deal is revealing: Waymo maintains control of their autonomous technology and customer experience via their app, while Avis handles the complex operational logistics of maintaining and managing the physical vehicle fleet.

CEO Brian Choi's statement that they're "not here just to compete" but "to win by taking a leading role in the evolving mobility ecosystem" signals Avis's strategic intent to transcend traditional car rental and position themselves as an essential player in future transportation models. By focusing on their "structural advantages" in fleet management and operational excellence, they're establishing a defensible position amid transportation disruption.

These initiatives represent a dual-track strategy: extracting higher margins from traditional car rental through premium segmentation while simultaneously building capabilities and partnerships for future mobility paradigms. This approach allows Avis to generate near-term revenue improvements while preparing for longer-term industry transformation.

Q2 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenues were $3.0 billion, with revenue per day, excluding exchange rate effects, down 1%, and rental days flat to second quarter 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA in the Americas was $220 million compared to $186 million in the same period last year, driven by lower fleet costs and an increase in vehicle utilization as compared to second quarter 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA in International was $82 million compared to $48 million in the same period last year, driven by stronger pricing, decreased fleet costs, and improved vehicle utilization, slightly offset by a decrease in rental days.
• In May, we issued $600 million of unsecured Senior Notes and used the proceeds in June to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under our secured floating rate term loan due 2025, with the additional proceeds used to repay a portion of our unsecured Senior Notes due 2027.

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 U.S. 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.

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.

__________

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.
(a)	For the six months ended June 30, 2025, per-unit fleet costs excludes costs reported within vehicle depreciation and lease charges, net related to the accelerated disposal of certain fleet in our Americas reportable segment. These costs relate to vehicles that were not included in the long-lived asset impairment and other related charges recorded in 2024.

Appendix I

Avis Budget Group, Inc.
DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS

Adjusted EBITDA
The 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; long-lived asset impairment and other related charges; other fleet charges; restructuring and other related charges; early extinguishment of debt costs; non-vehicle related interest; transaction-related costs, net; legal matters, net, which primarily includes amounts recorded in excess of $5 million, related to unprecedented self-insurance reserves for allocated loss adjustment expense, 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; severe weather-related damages in excess of $5 million, net of insurance proceeds; and income taxes. In the first quarter of 2025, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude other fleet charges. We did not revise prior years' Adjusted EBITDA amounts because there were no other charges similar in nature to these.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 restructuring and other related charges; early extinguishment of debt costs; transaction-related costs; legal matters; non-operational charges related to shareholder activist activity; COVID-19 charges; other (income) expense; and severe weather-related damages.

We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful 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 U.S. GAAP is provided on Table 5.

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.

Gross Adjusted EBITDA
Represents Adjusted EBITDA with the add-back of vehicle depreciation excluding other fleet charges and vehicle interest.

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.

Total Net Debt Ratio
Represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by Gross 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.
