CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning Hertz Holdings outlook, anticipated revenues, results of operations and implementation of productivity and efficiency initiatives, including targeted job reductions, and the anticipated savings and restructuring charges expected to be realized or incurred in connection therewith. These statements often include words such as believe, expect, project, anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, seek, will, may, should, forecast or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that Hertz Holdings has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that Hertz Holdings believes are appropriate in these circumstances. As you read this report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could affect Hertz Holdings actual results and its ability to implement its cost savings and efficiency initiatives successfully, and could cause Hertz Holdings actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Some important factors include: Hertz Holdings operations; economic performance; financial condition; management forecasts; efficiencies, cost savings and opportunities to increase productivity and profitability; income and margins; liquidity; anticipated growth; economies of scale; the economy; future economic performance; Hertz Holdings ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease); future acquisitions and dispositions; litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; managements plans; taxes; and refinancing of existing debt. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this report might not prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All forward-looking statements attributable to Hertz Holdings or persons acting on Hertz Holdings behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and Hertz Holdings undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Hertz Holdings cautions you therefore that you should not rely unduly on these forward-looking statements. You should understand the risks and uncertainties discussed in Risk Factors and elsewhere in Hertz Holdings Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, dated March 30, 2007, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, could affect Hertz Holdings future results and the outcome of its implementation of its cost savings and efficiency initiatives, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in Hertz Holdings forward-looking statements.
