|
the impact of persistent pricing and demand pressures on our results and our low cost structure, particularly in light of the continuing volatility in the global financial and credit markets, and concerns about global economic prospects and the speed and strength of a recovery, and whether consumer spending levels will continue to improve;
|
·
|
the impact of a downgrade (or the prospect of a downgrade) of credit ratings assigned to obligations of the United States, which could materially adversely affect the U.S. and global economic conditions, business activity, credit availability, borrowing costs, and consumer spending levels;
|
·
|
the impact of pending and future U.S. governmental action to address budget deficits through reductions in spending and similar austerity measures, which could adversely affect unemployment rates and consumer spending levels, and in turn dampen the recovery;
|
·
|
the impact of developments outside the United States, such as the sovereign credit issues in certain countries in the European Union, which could affect the relative volatility of global credit markets generally, and the continuing significant political unrest in certain oil-producing countries, which has caused prices for petroleum products, including gasoline, to rise and adversely affect both broader economic conditions and consumer discretionary spending patterns;
|
·
|
the impact of pricing and other actions by competitors, particularly as they increase fleet sizes in anticipation of seasonal activity;
|
·
|
our ability to manage our fleet mix to match demand and meet our target for vehicle depreciation costs, particularly in light of the significant increase in the level of risk vehicles (i.e., those vehicles not acquired through a guaranteed residual value program) in our fleet and our exposure to the used vehicle market;
|
·
|
the cost and other terms of acquiring and disposing of automobiles and the impact of conditions in the used vehicle market on our vehicle cost, including the impact on vehicle depreciation costs in 2011 based on recent pricing volatility in the used vehicle market, and our ability to reduce our fleet capacity as and when projected by our plans;
|
·
|
the strength of the recovery in the U.S. automotive industry, particularly in light of our dependence on vehicle supply from U.S. automotive manufacturers, and whether the recovery is sustained;
|
·
|
airline travel patterns, including disruptions or reductions in air travel resulting from capacity reductions, pricing actions, severe weather conditions, industry consolidation or other events, particularly given our dependence on leisure travel;
|
·
|
access to reservation distribution channels, particularly as the role of the Internet increases in the marketing and sale of travel-related services;
|
·
|
our ability to obtain cost-effective financing as needed (including replacement of asset-backed notes and other indebtedness as it comes due)
without unduly restricting our operational flexibility;
|
·
|
our ability to manage the consequences under our financing agreements of an event of bankruptcy with respect to Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, the monoline insurer that provides credit support for one of our asset-backed financing structures;
|
·
|
our ability to comply with financial covenants, including the new financial covenants included in our amended senior secured credit facilities, and the impact of those covenants on our operating and financial flexibility;
|
·
|
whether our preliminary expectations about our federal income tax position, after giving effect to the impact of the Tax Relief Act (as defined herein), are affected by changes in our expected fleet size or operations or further legislative initiatives relating to taxes in the United States or elsewhere;
|
·
|
the cost of regulatory compliance, costs and other effects of potential future initiatives, including those directed at climate change and its effects, and the costs and outcome of pending litigation;
|
·
|
disruptions in the operation or development of information and communication systems that we rely on, including those relating to methods of payment;
|
·
|
local market conditions where we and our franchisees do business, including whether franchisees will continue to have access to capital as needed;
|
·
|
the effectiveness of actions we take to manage costs and liquidity; and
|
·
|
the impact of other events that can disrupt consumer travel, such as natural and man-made catastrophes, pandemics, social unrest and actual and perceived threats or acts of terrorism.
|
|
We are also subject to risks relating to a potential business combination transaction, including the following:
|
·
|
whether Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“Avis Budget”) and/or Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz”) would obtain regulatory approval to engage in a business combination transaction with us and, if so, the conditions upon which such approval would be granted (including potential divestitures of assets or businesses of either company), whether we and Avis Budget or Hertz would reach agreement on the terms of such a transaction, whether our stockholders would approve the transaction and whether other conditions to consummation of the transaction would be satisfied or waived;
|
·
|
the impact on our results and liquidity if we become obligated to pay a termination fee to Hertz upon our entry into a definitive agreement for, or our completion or recommendation of, a qualifying business combination transaction within 12 months of the October 1, 2010 termination date of our merger agreement with Hertz, and whether and the extent to which the relevant third party would bear all or any portion of that fee;
|
·
|
the risks to our business and prospects pending any future business combination transaction, diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, a loss of key personnel, disruption of our operations, and the impact of pending or future litigation relating to any business combination transaction; and
|
·
|
the risks to our business and growth prospects as a stand-alone company, in light of our dependence on future growth of the economy as a whole to achieve meaningful revenue growth in the key airport and local markets we serve, high barriers to entry in the insurance replacement market, and capital and other constraints on expanding company-owned stores internationally.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets consist primarily of equity securites. The Company also has an offsetting liability related to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not disclosed in the table as it is not independently measured at fair value. The liability was not reported at fair value as of the transition, but rather set to equal fair value of the assets held in the related rabbi trust. |

Vehicle insurance expenses decreased $10.2 million. This decrease resulted primarily from a change in insurance reserves resulting from favorable claims developments in claim history and an unfavorable judgment on a vicarious liability claim in 2010.
|
Ø
|
Communications and computer expenses decreased $0.3 million due to cost reduction initiatives.
|
Ø
|
Vehicle-related expenses increased $8.3 million. This increase resulted primarily from a $4.1 million increase in gasoline expense resulting from higher average gas prices, which is generally recovered in revenues from customers, a $1.6 million increase in shuttling expense, a $1.3 million increase in vehicle maintenance expense due to the increase in the rental fleet size, and a $0.5 million increase in general excise and surcharge taxes. All other vehicle-related expenses increased $0.8 million.
|
Ø
|
Net vehicle gains on disposal of risk vehicles (reductions to net vehicle depreciation and lease charges), which effectively represent revisions to previous estimates of vehicle depreciation charges by reducing vehicle depreciation and lease charges, decreased $9.7 million from a $27.5 million gain in the second quarter of 2010 to a $17.8 million gain in the second quarter of 2011. This decrease in gains on vehicle dispositions resulted from approximately 10,500 fewer units sold in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by a higher average gain per unit as compared to the second quarter of 2010.
|
Ø
|
Vehicle depreciation expense decreased $6.5 million, primarily resulting from a 14.1% decrease in the average depreciation rate due to continued favorable used vehicle market conditions, partially offset by a 7.8% increase in the average depreciable fleet.
|
Ø
|
Merger-related costs decreased $5.7 million.
|
Ø
|
Personnel-related expenses decreased $0.7 million, primarily due to the timing of compensation-related accruals which decreased by $0.9 million, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in group insurance expenses.
|
Ø
|
Loyalty programs and commission expenses increased $0.3 million primarily due to increased rental day volume.
