(TABLES IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AutoNation, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information related to the Company's organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors decided that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to separate the Company's automotive rental business from the Company. The Company believes the separation will strengthen its financial condition enabling it to raise additional capital needed to fund the execution of its automotive retail business plan and allow management to focus solely on the automotive retail business. The Board of Directors is exploring various strategic alternatives regarding the form of separation. Accordingly, as discussed in Note 15, Discontinued Operations, the Company's automotive rental segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been restated to report separately the net assets and operating results of these discontinued operations.

In May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in its former solid waste subsidiary, Republic Services, Inc. ("RSG") in a public offering resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.78 billion, net of underwriting fees. The sale of RSG resulted in an after tax gain of approximately $379.3 million. As discussed in Note 15, Discontinued Operations, the Company's solid waste services segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations and, accordingly, the gain on disposition, results of operations and net assets at December 31, 1998 have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Businesses acquired through June 30, 1999 and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company acquired various businesses in the automotive retail industry. The Company paid approximately $551.6 million of cash for these acquisitions which have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

12. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Generally, options granted have a term of ten years from the date of grant, and vest in increments of 25% per year over a four year period on the yearly anniversary of the grant date.

A summary of stock option and warrant transactions for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is as follows:

13. LEGAL MATTERS

The Company is a party to various general corporate legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, unfavorable resolution could affect the consolidated results of operations or cash flows for the quarterly periods in which they are resolved.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise or conversion of options and warrants.

                                                                  THREE MONTHS ENDED                   SIX MONTHS ENDED

At June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had approximately 25.0 million and 15.1 million stock options outstanding, respectively, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since they are anti-dilutive.

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As a result of the Company's decision in July 1999 to separate the Company's automotive rental business, the net assets and results of operations for the automotive rental segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, in May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in RSG in a public offering resulting in an after tax gain of approximately $379.3 million. Accordingly, the gain on disposition, operating results and net assets at December 31, 1998 of the Company's solid waste services segment have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The minority shareholders' interest in the net earnings of RSG and the equity of RSG as of December 31, 1998 have been included as a reduction of income and net assets from discontinued operations, respectively.

A summary of the net assets of discontinued operations is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors decided that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to separate the Company's automotive rental business from the Company. The Company believes the separation will strengthen its financial condition enabling it to raise additional capital needed to fund the execution of its automotive retail business plan and allow management to focus solely on the automotive retail business. The Board of Directors is exploring various strategic alternatives regarding the form of separation. Accordingly, as discussed in Note 15, "Discontinued Operations" of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's automotive rental segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been restated to report separately the net assets and operating results of these discontinued operations.

In May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in its former solid waste subsidiary, Republic Services, Inc. ("RSG") in a public offering resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.78 billion, net of underwriting fees. The sale of RSG resulted in an after tax gain of approximately $379.3 million. As discussed in Note 15, "Discontinued Operations" of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's solid waste services segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations and, accordingly, the gain on disposition, results of operations and net assets at December 31, 1998 have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company makes its decisions to acquire or invest in businesses based on financial and strategic considerations.

Businesses acquired through June 30, 1999 and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company acquired various businesses in the automotive retail industry. The Company paid approximately $551.6 million of cash for these acquisitions which have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

REVENUE

Revenue on a reported basis was $5.07 billion for the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus $3.17 billion for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 59.8%. Revenue on a reported basis was $9.63 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $5.52 billion for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 74.6%. The increases are primarily attributed to acquisitions.

Same store sales were $3.09 billion for the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus $2.99 billion for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 3.5%. Same store sales were $5.55 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $5.23 billion for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 6.0%. The primary components of these same store sales increases are described below.

New vehicle same store sales increased 8.8% to $1.76 billion during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 11.7% to $3.11 billion during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increases are primarily due to volume.

Used vehicle same store sales decreased 3.2% to $781.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 4.5% to $1.41 billion during the six months ended June 30, 1999. These decreases are primarily attributed to volume at the Company's used vehicle megastores.

Fixed operations same store sales increased 6.3% to $325.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 8.4% to $587.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. These increases are primarily due to volume.

Same store other sales consist primarily of wholesale revenue. Same store other sales decreased 12.9% to $221.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and increased 2.6% to $446.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. These variances are primarily due to fluctuations in sales of wholesale units during the periods.

GROSS MARGINS

Reported gross margins were $706.8 million and $1.32 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $431.6 million and $748.9 million for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases in aggregate dollars are primarily due to acquisitions. Reported gross margins as a percentage of revenue were 14.0% and 13.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 13.6% for both comparable 1998 periods. The overall increases in reported gross margins as percentages of reported revenue are primarily due to improved margins on the sale of new vehicles.

16

Same store gross margins were $414.9 million and $728.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $399.7 million and $698.3 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Same store gross margins as a percentage of same store total revenue were 13.4% and 13.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 13.4% and 13.3% for the comparable 1998 periods. The decrease in same store gross margin percentage during the six months ended June 30, 1999 is primarily due to weakness in same store used vehicle sales.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Reported divisional selling, general and administrative expenses were $536.9 million and $1.04 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $327.4 million and $588.3 million for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases in aggregate dollars are primarily due to acquisitions. Reported divisional selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of reported revenue were 10.6% and 10.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 10.3% and 10.7% for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases in reported divisional selling, general and administrative expenses as percentages of reported revenue are primarily due to newly acquired businesses as well as investments in the Company's business including e-commerce and brand development.

Same store selling, general and administrative expenses were $306.1 million and $552.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $300.8 million and $539.2 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Same store selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of same store total revenue were 9.9% and 10.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 10.1% and 10.3% for the comparable 1998 periods. The decreases in same store selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily due to cost savings and leveraging the overhead structure.

Corporate expenses were $15.0 million and $28.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $9.3 million and $19.8 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Such increases are a result of the overall growth experienced by the Company. The Company has allocated estimated corporate expenses which will no longer be incurred after the separation of the automotive rental division to discontinued operations. These allocated costs totaled approximately $4.0 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, and $3.7 million and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income was $5.3 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $1.7 million and $2.1 million for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases are primarily due to higher cash balances on hand during the periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was incurred primarily on borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities for acquisitions and share repurchases. Interest expense was $9.9 million and $16.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $9.8 million and $10.7 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Such increases are primarily due to borrowings for acquisitions and share repurchases. Interest expense related to vehicle floorplan financing is included in cost of operations.

17

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $54.6 million and $87.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $30.5 million and $46.0 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Income taxes have been provided based upon the Company's anticipated annual effective income tax rate.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and other charges totaling approximately $150.0 million associated with combining the Company's franchised automotive dealerships and used vehicle megastore operations into one automotive retail division. At June 30, 1999, approximately $22.4 million remained in accrued liabilities associated with these charges.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company spent approximately $1.7 million of its automotive retail reserves related to closed operations. The remaining automotive retail reserves at June 30, 1999 relate primarily to closed reconditioning centers which the Company is actively marketing for sale.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

AUTOMOTIVE RENTAL

As a result of the Company's decision in July 1999 to separate its automotive rental business from the Company, the net assets and operating results of the Company's automotive rental segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A summary of the Company's automotive rental operations is as follows for the periods indicated (in millions):

Automotive rental revenue was $892.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus $864.8 million for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 3.2%. The increase is primarily attributed to volume. Automotive rental revenue was $1.68 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $1.64 billion for the comparable 1998 period, an increase of 2.6%. The increase is attributed to volume and price increases. Volume at the Company's National Car Rental System, Inc. ("National") operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was adversely impacted by technical issues associated with the Company's Global Odyssey operating system ("Global Odyssey"). The Company believes these systems issues have been substantially resolved. However, volume at National has not returned to previous levels.

Cost of automotive rental operations was $683.9 million and $1.32 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $664.7 million and $1.27 billion for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases in aggregate dollars are primarily due to higher fleet costs. Cost of automotive rental operations as a percentage of automotive rental revenue was 76.6% and 78.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 76.9% and 77.4% for the comparable 1998 periods. The increase in such costs as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is due to higher fleet costs offset by improved fleet utilization.

18

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $183.4 million and $350.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $158.7 million and $313.6 million for the comparable 1998 periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 20.5% and 20.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 18.3% and 19.1% for the comparable 1998 periods. The increases in such costs in aggregate dollars and as percentages of revenue are due to costs associated with the Global Odyssey system at National, increased operating costs and higher selling expenses.

The Company finances vehicle purchases for its domestic automotive rental operations primarily through commercial paper and medium-term note financings. The Company's $2.39 billion commercial paper program is comprised of a $1.99 billion single-seller program and a $400.0 million bank-sponsored multi-seller commercial paper conduit facility. Borrowings under this program are secured by eligible vehicle collateral and bear interest at market based commercial paper rates. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $387.0 million of availability under this program. In February 1999, the Company issued $1.8 billion of rental vehicle asset-backed medium-term notes consisting of $550.0 million floating rate notes maturing through 2003; $750.0 million 5.88% fixed rate notes maturing through 2003; and $500.0 million 6.02% fixed rate notes maturing through 2005. In May 1999, the Company issued $700.0 million of floating rate asset-backed medium-term notes maturing through 2005. The Company fixed the effective interest rate on the $1.25 billion floating rate notes at 6.03% through the use of certain derivative transactions. The Company expects to continue to fund its revenue earning vehicle purchases with secured vehicle financings.

The Company's automotive rental operations and particularly the leisure travel segment is highly seasonal. In these operations, the third quarter, which includes the peak summer travel months, has historically been the strongest quarter of the year. During the peak season, the Company increases its rental fleet and workforce to accommodate increased rental activity. As a result, any occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a material adverse effect on its annual performance. The first and fourth quarters for the Company's automotive rental operations are generally the weakest, when there is limited leisure travel and a greater potential for adverse weather conditions. Many of the operating expenses such as rent, general insurance and administrative personnel are fixed and cannot be reduced during periods of decreased rental demand.

SOLID WASTE SERVICES

In May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in RSG resulting in an after tax gain of approximately $379.3 million. Accordingly, the gain on disposition, operating results and net assets of the Company's former solid waste services segment have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue from these discontinued operations was $149.0 million and $552.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. Income from these discontinued operations was $11.0 million and $40.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. Income from discontinued solid waste operations is presented net of minority interest.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 1999, the Company had $640.1 million in cash and no amounts outstanding under its $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities which may be used for general corporate purposes. In May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in RSG in a public offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.78 billion. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay non-vehicle debt, to finance acquisitions, to acquire shares under the Company's share repurchase program and to invest in the Company's business.

19

The Company finances its automotive retail vehicle inventory through secured financings including floor plan facilities with manufacturer captive finance companies as well as a $500.0 million bank-sponsored multi-seller commercial paper conduit facility. At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $305.3 million of availability under the commercial paper conduit facility. In connection with the development of the Company's AutoNation USA megastores, the Company is the lessee under a $500.0 million operating lease facility established to acquire and develop properties used in its business. The Company has guaranteed the residual value of the properties under this facility which guarantee totaled approximately $434.1 million at June 30, 1999.

The Company securitizes installment loan receivables generated by its automotive finance subsidiary through a $1.4 billion commercial paper warehouse facility with certain financial institutions, as amended. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company securitized approximately $725.8 million of loan receivables under this program, net of retained interests. At June 30, 1999, aggregate receivables totaling $1.27 billion were securitized under this program. The Company has entered into certain interest rate derivative transactions with certain financial institutions to manage the impact of interest rate changes on securitized installment loan receivables. Installment loans sold under this program are nonrecourse beyond the Company's retained interests. Proceeds from the securitization were primarily used to repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities and to invest in the Company's business. The Company expects to continue to securitize receivables under this facility and/or other programs. In June 1999, the Company filed a preliminary registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register asset-backed securities which will refinance certain amounts outstanding under the warehouse facility. The Company expects that the asset-backed securities will be issued in the third or fourth quarter of 1999.

In August 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") over the following 12 months. In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $500.0 million of shares of Common Stock. Repurchases are made either pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased 21.4 million shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $313.3 million. Through June 30, 1999, an aggregate of 30.5 million shares of Common Stock have been acquired under this program for an aggregate purchase price of $449.3 million.

The Company believes that it has sufficient financial resources available to meet its anticipated capital requirements and obligations as they come due.

CASH FLOWS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $36.4 million and increased by $85.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The major components of these changes are discussed below.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $16.1 million and ($151.9) million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Cash flows from operating activities include purchases of retail vehicle inventory which are separately financed through secured vehicle financings. Accordingly, the Company measures its operating cash flow including net proceeds from these secured vehicle financings which totaled $198.2 million and $251.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Including net proceeds from these secured vehicle financings, the Company generated positive operating cash flow of $214.3 million and $99.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

20

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of cash used for business acquisitions, capital additions and other transactions as further described below.

Cash used in business acquisitions was $551.6 million and $306.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, as discussed under "Cash Flows from Financing Activities," the Company repaid debt assumed in acquisitions. See "Business Combinations" of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 2, "Business Combinations" of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of businesses acquired.

Capital additions were $120.1 million and $81.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The Company expects capital expenditures and cash used in business acquisitions to increase during the remainder of 1999 due to expansion of the Company's business. The Company intends to finance capital expenditures and business acquisitions through cash on hand, revolving credit facilities and other financings.

In May 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its remaining interest in RSG in a public offering resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.78 billion. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay non-vehicle debt, to finance acquisitions, to acquire shares under the Company's share repurchase program and to invest in the Company's business.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 consisted of revolving credit and vehicle floorplan financings, repayments of debt and treasury stock purchases.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company spent approximately $318.6 million to repurchase shares of Common Stock under the share repurchase program.

Payments of notes payable and long-term debt were $85.7 million and $187.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These amounts consist primarily of the repayment of debt assumed in acquisitions.

CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Cash used in discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 1999 consists primarily of cash used by RSG for acquisitions.

SEASONALITY

The Company's operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year in part due to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models.

YEAR 2000

The Company utilizes software and related technologies throughout its businesses that will be affected by the date change in the year 2000 ("Y2K"). The Company is addressing the issue of computer programs, embedded chips and third party suppliers that may be impacted by Y2K. The Company has developed a dedicated Y2K Project Office to coordinate compliance efforts and ensure that the project status is monitored and reported throughout the organization.

21

The Company has identified four core phases in preparing for Y2K:

Assessment -- In the assessment phase, an inventory is performed of software, hardware, telecommunications equipment and embedded chip technology. Also, critical systems and vendors are identified and prioritized.

Analysis -- In the analysis phase, each system or item assessed as critical is reviewed to determine Y2K compliance. Key vendors are also evaluated at this time to determine their compliance status.

Remediation -- In the remediation phase, modifications or replacements are made to critical systems and equipment to make them Y2K compliant or the systems and/or vendors are replaced with compliant systems or vendors. Decisions are also made as to whether changes are necessary or feasible for key third-party suppliers.

Testing and Validation -- In this phase, the Company prepares, executes and verifies the testing of critical systems.

The Company has developed plans to correct Y2K issues and, to date, have made progress as follows:

Automotive Retail:

The Company's franchised automotive dealerships and AutoNation USA megastores use one of six Dealer Management Systems ("DMS"), which perform the core functions of a dealership's operations. The assessment and analysis of these systems is complete indicating, subject to verification and testing, that the DMS systems provided by these vendors are Y2K compliant or will be Y2K compliant with an upgrade. Approximately 87% of the Company's franchised automotive dealerships using these DMS systems have been upgraded to a compliant version. Three percent are scheduled to complete such upgrades by the end of the third quarter of 1999; and the remaining 10% are using a DMS system that the vendor represents is or will be compliant with an upgrade. The Company intends to obtain further documentation to support such compliance, as well as conduct testing to verify compliance.

The Company is substantially complete with its assessment, analysis, remediation and testing of its other software applications that are in use at its AutoNation USA megastores as well as some of its franchised automotive dealerships.

The Company has completed an inventory of its franchised automotive dealerships and megastores to identify other business systems, products, suppliers and embedded chips. Those issues identified are expected to be remediated or replaced by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

Automotive Rental:

For several years, the Company, in conjunction with external consultants, has been developing the Global Odyssey system, which will replace substantially all rental systems, as well as the applicable hardware and operating systems. This system was designed to be Y2K compliant and Y2K testing was completed prior to the recent implementation of the Global Odyssey reservation, operations and financial systems at National's domestic operations prior to the end of 1998. The Global Odyssey fleet system was implemented at National's North American locations during the first quarter of 1999.

Alamo has completed remediation of all of its existing systems. Testing is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999.

22

The Automotive Rental Division has assessed the majority of its North American rental locations to identify other critical business systems, products and vendors, including embedded chip issues. Remediation is ongoing to modify or replace business systems, products and vendors that are not Y2K compliant. Completion of remediation is expected by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company has also developed a plan for its European locations, some of which are supported by Alamo. The remaining European locations are supported by systems developed and supported by the United Kingdom headquarters, which are scheduled to be remediated by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

Costs To Address Y2K

To date, the Company has spent approximately $14.4 million on Y2K efforts across all areas; of which $5.6 million relates to the Company's continuing automotive retail operations and $8.8 million relates to the Company's discontinued automotive rental operations. The Company currently expects to spend a total of approximately $24.1 million when complete ($12.7 million for continuing automotive retail operations and $11.4 million for discontinued automotive rental operations); $4.5 million of which has or is expected to be incurred as automotive retail capital expenditures and depreciated accordingly. Automotive rental amounts exclude costs associated with replacing the Company's automotive rental systems with Global Odyssey since the Global Odyssey implementation was planned in advance and not accelerated as a result of Y2K. The Company expects to fund Y2K costs through operating cash flow. All system modification costs associated with Y2K will be expensed as incurred. Y2K expenditures vary significantly in project phases and vary depending on remedial methods used. Past expenditures in relation to total estimated costs should not be considered or relied on as a basis for estimating progress to completion for any element of the Y2K project.

Risks and Contingency Plans

The Company presently believes that upon remediation of its business software applications, embedded technology and compliance by key vendors the Y2K issue will not present a materially adverse risk to the Company's future consolidated results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. However, if such remediation is not completed in a timely manner, the Company believes that the most likely worst case scenario would be a delay or disruption in the delivery of products, including but not limited to, the supply of new vehicles and/or original equipment manufacturer replacement (OEM) parts to the Retail and/or Rental divisions. Either of these conditions could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations including, but not limited to, loss of revenue, increased operating costs, loss of customers or suppliers, or other significant disruptions to the Company's business.

The Company is in the process of developing comprehensive business contingency plans, which are expected to be in place by the end of the third quarter of 1999. These plans will be modified and updated throughout the remainder of 1999.

Determining the Y2K readiness of third party products and business dependencies requires pursuit, collection and appraisal of voluntary statements made or provided by those parties, if available, together with independent factual research. The Company has identified its material third-party relationships and has surveyed these parties. The results are being analyzed as surveys are received. Although the Company has taken, and will continue to take, reasonable efforts to gather information to determine and verify the readiness of products and dependencies, there can be no assurances that reliable information will be offered or otherwise available. In addition, verification methods (including testing methods) may not be reliable or fully implemented. Accordingly, notwithstanding the foregoing efforts, there are no assurances that the Company is correct in its determination or belief that a product (information technology and other computerized equipment) or a business dependency (including a supplier, distributor or ancillary industry group) is Y2K ready.

23

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 amends FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") by deferring the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 beginning January 1, 2001. The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, SFAS 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

24

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following information about the Company's market sensitive financial instruments constitutes a "forward-looking statement." The Company's major market risk exposure is changing interest rates, primarily in the United States. Due to its limited foreign operations, the Company does not have material market risk exposures relative to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's policy is to manage interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate derivatives may be used to adjust interest rate exposures when appropriate, based upon market conditions. These derivatives consist of interest rate swaps, caps and floors which are entered into with a group of financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss. The Company uses interest rate caps and floors to manage the impact of interest rate changes on securitized installment loan receivables. With respect to the Company's discontinued automotive rental operations, the Company uses variable to fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate caps/floors to manage the impact of interest rate changes on the Company's variable rate revenue earning vehicle debt.

Reference is made to the Company's quantitative disclosures about market risk as of December 31, 1998 included under Item 7 of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company has entered into certain interest rate derivative transactions with certain financial institutions to manage the impact of interest rate changes on securitized automotive retail installment loan receivables. These derivative transactions consist of a series of interest rate caps and floors with an aggregate notional amount of $1.31 billion contractually maturing through 2005 which effectuate a variable to fixed rate swap at a weighted average rate of 5.30% at June 30, 1999. Variable rates on the underlying portfolio are indexed to the Commercial Paper Nonfinancial rate.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

At June 30, 1999, notional principal amounts related to interest rate swaps (variable to fixed rate) were $1.05 billion maturing as follows: $450.0 million in the remainder of 1999; $300.0 million in 2000; $100.0 million in 2001; and $200.0 million in 2003. As of June 30, 1999, the weighted average fixed rate payment on variable to fixed rate swaps was 5.80%. Variable rates received are indexed to the Commercial Paper Nonfinancial rate. The Company also has entered into certain derivative transactions to manage the impact of interest rate changes on variable rate rental vehicle asset backed medium-term notes. These derivatives consist of interest rate caps and floors with a notional amount of $1.25 billion maturing through 2005 which fix the effective rate on the underlying debt at 6.03%. Variable rates are indexed to LIBOR.

4

(a) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or

NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained herein, add any additional provisions hereto, increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock, or restate this Certificate of Incorporation in its entirety in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the Act.

TENTH: Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, any matter properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders at a meeting of stockholders duly convened at which there is a quorum present shall be deemed approved up on an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present at the meeting, in person or by proxy.

5

knowing violation of law, or payment of any unlawful dividend or for any unlawful stock purchase or redemption, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be executed this 13th day of May, 1997.

To the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and specifically as is permitted under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or its successor or any other law which may hereafter be enacted granting to a corporation the powers of indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the written request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 7.2 Indemnification in Action by or in Right of Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the written request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or

11

settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Section 7.3 Further Indemnity. Employees and agents of the Corporation may be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by, and upon such terms and conditions as deemed appropriate by, the Board of Directors. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnify. (a) Any indemnification under the provision of Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as applicable. Such determination shall be made:

(i) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; or

(ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(iii) by the shareholders.

(b) The Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person seeking indemnification under Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 7.5 Advance of Indemnification Expenses. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by the provisions of this Article VII. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

12

Section 7.6 Other Indemnification. The indemnification herein provided shall not limit the Corporation from providing any other indemnification permitted by law nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 7.8 Other Entities. For the purposes of this section, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provision of this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he/she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
