NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts in tables are in millions, except per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides mobility solutions to businesses and consumers worldwide. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which Avis Budget Group, Inc. directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting.
We operate the following reportable business segments:
•Americas—consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in certain areas in which we do not operate directly.
•International—consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in certain areas in which we do not operate directly.
The operating results of acquired businesses are included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements from the dates of acquisition. Differences between the preliminary allocation of purchase price and the final allocation for our 2021 acquisitions of various licensees were not material. We consolidate joint venture activities when we have more than 50% controlling interests and record non-controlling interests within stockholders’ equity and the statement of comprehensive income equal to the percentage of ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling party.
In presenting the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2021 Form 10-K.

________
(a)Included within other current assets.
Vehicle Programs. We present separately the financial data of our vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities since the assets under vehicle programs are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our vehicle programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.
Transaction-related costs, net. Transaction-related costs, net are classified separately in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income. These costs are comprised of expenses primarily related to acquisition-related activities such as due diligence and other advisory costs, expenses related to the integration of the acquiree’s operations with those of our operations, including the implementation of best practices and process improvements, non-cash gains and losses related to re-acquired rights, expenses related to pre-acquisition contingencies and contingent consideration related to acquisitions.
Currency Transactions. We record the gain or loss on foreign currency transactions on certain intercompany loans and the gain or loss on intercompany loan hedges within interest expense related to corporate debt, net.
Divestitures. In February 2022, we completed the sale of our operations in the United States Virgin Islands for $13 million, for the right to operate the Avis brand. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of $2 million within restructuring and other related charges.
In March 2022, we completed the sale of our operations in the Netherlands for $15 million, subject to working capital adjustments, for the right to operate the Avis and Budget brands. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $7 million, net of impact of foreign currency adjustments, within restructuring and other related charges.
Investments. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had equity method investments with a carrying value of $68 million and $72 million, respectively, which are recorded within other non-current assets. Earnings from our equity method investments are reported within operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $2 million related to our equity method investments, in each period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $3 million and $2 million related to our equity method investments, respectively.
Revenues. Revenues are recognized under “Leases (Topic 842),” with the exception of royalty fee revenue derived from our licensees and revenue related to our customer loyalty program, which were approximately $42 million and $19 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $76 million and $59 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which amends Topic 805 to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective or prospective basis. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Reference Rate Reform
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which amends ASU 2020-04 and clarifies the scope and guidance of Topic 848 to allow derivatives impacted by the reference rate reform to qualify for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. The guidance is optional and is effective for a limited period of time through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, this guidance had no impact on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and we will continue to evaluate this guidance.

Lessee
We have operating and finance leases for rental locations, corporate offices, vehicle rental fleet and equipment. Many of our operating leases for rental locations contain concession agreements with various airport authorities that allow us to conduct our vehicle rental operations on site. In general, concession fees for airport locations are based on a percentage of total commissionable revenue as defined by each airport authority, some of which are subject to minimum annual guaranteed amounts. Concession fees other than minimum annual guaranteed amounts are not included in the measurement of operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, and are recorded as variable lease expense as incurred. Our operating leases for rental locations often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses.
The components of lease expense are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

3. Restructuring and Other Related Charges
Restructuring
During second quarter 2022, we initiated a restructuring plan to focus on consolidating our global operations by designing new processes and implementing new systems (“Cost Optimization Plan”). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we formally communicated the termination of employment to approximately 85 employees, as part of this process, and terminated approximately 75 of these employees. The Company expects further restructuring expense of approximately $5 million related to this initiative to be incurred in 2022.
During first quarter 2021, we initiated a global restructuring plan to focus on cost discipline by reviewing headcounts, facilities and contractor agreements. We are transforming our business as we prepare to exit the COVID-19 crisis by controlling fixed costs and matching variable costs to demand (“T21”). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we formally communicated the termination of employment to approximately 55 employees, as part of this process, and terminated approximately 50 of these employees. We expect no further restructuring expense to be incurred in 2022 under this initiative.
During first quarter 2020, we initiated a global restructuring plan to reduce operating costs, such as headcount and facilities, due to declining reservations and revenue resulting from COVID-19 outbreak (“2020 Optimization Plan”). We expect no further restructuring expenses related to this initiative.
During third quarter 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan to exit our operations in Brazil by closing rental facilities, disposing of assets and terminating personnel (“Brazil”). We expect no further restructuring expense related to this initiative.
The following tables summarize the changes to our restructuring-related liabilities and identifies the amounts recorded within our reporting segments for restructuring charges and corresponding payments and utilizations:

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In 2006, we completed the spin-offs of our Realogy and Wyndham subsidiaries. We do not believe that the impact of any resolution of pre-existing contingent liabilities in connection with the spin-offs should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity, as Realogy and Wyndham each have agreed to assume responsibility for these liabilities. We are also named in litigation that is primarily related to the businesses of our former subsidiaries, including Realogy and Wyndham. We are entitled to indemnification from such entities for any liability resulting from such litigation.
In November 2011, Jose Mendez v. Avis Budget Group Inc., et al. was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiff seeks to represent a purported nationwide class and two sub-classes of certain renters of vehicles from our Avis and Budget subsidiaries from April 2007 through December 2015. The plaintiff seeks damages in connection with claims relating to our electronic toll service, including that administrative fees and toll charges were not properly disclosed to customers and/or were excessive. Plaintiff’s motion for class certification was approved by the Court in November 2017. The parties have entered into a settlement agreement and plan to file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement in due course. We have been named as a defendant in other purported consumer class action law suits, including a class action filed against us in Florida seeking damages in connection with a breach of contract claim and two purported class action suits filed against us in New Jersey, one related to fines and fees charged to car renters by us for violations incurred during the course of their rental and another related to ancillary charges at our Payless subsidiary. In the Florida lawsuit, the Court has entered an order preliminarily approving a proposed settlement.
We are currently involved, and in the future may be involved, in claims and/or legal proceedings, including class actions, and governmental inquiries that are incidental to our vehicle rental and car sharing operations, including, among others, contract and licensee disputes, competition matters, employment and wage-and-hour claims, insurance and liability claims, intellectual property claims, business practice disputes
and other regulatory, environmental, commercial and tax matters. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or that we have valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur. We estimate that the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of current legal proceedings in which it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred could, in the aggregate, be up to approximately $35 million in excess of amounts accrued as of June 30, 2022. We do not believe that the impact should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Commitments to Purchase Vehicles
We maintain agreements with vehicle manufacturers under which we have agreed to purchase approximately $3.8 billion of vehicles from manufacturers over the next 12 months, a $2.1 billion decrease compared to December 31, 2021, financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle-backed debt and cash received upon the disposition of vehicles. Certain of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers satisfying their obligations under their respective repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements.
Concentrations
Concentrations of credit risk as of June 30, 2022 include (i) risks related to our repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign car manufacturers, primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that have been disposed but for which we have not yet received payment from the manufacturers and (ii) risks related to Realogy and Wyndham, including receivables of $26 million and $16 million, respectively, related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with their disposition.
13. Stockholders' Equity
Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $7.1 billion of our common stock under a plan originally approved in 2013 and subsequently expanded most recently in May 2022 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 7.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $1.7 billion under the program. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $2.25 billion of authorization remains available to repurchase common stock under the program.

16. Financial Instruments
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Currency Risk. We use currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates associated with certain of our non-U.S.-dollar denominated receivables and forecasted royalties, forecasted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries and forecasted non-U.S.-dollar denominated acquisitions. We primarily hedge a portion of our current-year currency exposure to the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars, the euro and the British pound sterling. The majority of forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they economically hedge. Forward contracts used to hedge forecasted third-party receipts and disbursements up to 12 months are designated and do qualify as cash flow hedges. We have designated our euro-denominated notes as a hedge of our investment in euro-denominated foreign operations.
The estimated net amount of existing gains or losses we expect to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings for cash flow and net investment hedges over the next 12 months is not material.
Interest Rate Risk. We use various hedging strategies including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to create what we deem an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. We use interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage the risk related to our floating rate corporate debt and our floating rate vehicle-backed debt. We record the changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. We record the gains or losses related to freestanding derivatives, which are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, currently in earnings and are presented in the same line of the income statement expected for the hedged item. We estimate that approximately $1 million of gains currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months.
Commodity Risk. We periodically enter into derivative commodity contracts to manage our exposure to changes in the price of gasoline. These instruments were designated as freestanding derivatives and the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings and are presented in the same line of the income statement expected for the hedged item.
We held derivative instruments with absolute notional values as follows:
| | | | | |
| As of June 30, 2022 |
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 1,732 | |
Interest rate caps (a) | 14,185 | |

17. Segment Information
Our chief operating decision-maker assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information from each of our operating segments. In identifying our reportable segments, we considered the nature of services provided, the geographical areas in which the segments operated and other relevant factors. We aggregate certain of our operating segments into our reportable segments.
Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenues and “Adjusted EBITDA,” which we define as 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 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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Since December 31, 2021, there have been no significant changes in segment assets exclusive of assets under vehicle programs. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Americas’ segment assets under vehicle programs were approximately $14.7 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively. The change in assets under vehicle programs is primarily due to the increase in the size of our vehicle rental fleet to meet the increase in rental demand.
