FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on various facts and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words believes, expects, anticipates, intends, projects, estimates, plans, may increase, may fluctuate and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as will, should, would, may and could are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:
| the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry and the impact such competition may have on pricing and rental volume; |
| an increase in our fleet costs as a result of an increase in the cost of new vehicles, disruption in the supply of new vehicles, and/or a decrease in the price at which we dispose of used vehicles either in the used vehicle market or under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs; |
| the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars, which could impact their ability to perform their payment obligations under the agreements we have with them, including repurchase and/or guaranteed depreciation arrangements, and/or their willingness or ability to make cars available to us or the rental car industry as a whole on commercially reasonable terms or at all; |
| any reduction in travel demand, including any reduction in airline passenger traffic; |
| any weakness in economic conditions generally, including in the housing market, particularly during our peak season or in key market segments; |
| our ability to continue to achieve and maintain cost savings and successfully implement our business strategies; |
| our ability to obtain financing for our operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via the asset-backed securities and lending market consistent with current costs, and the financial condition of financial-guaranty firms that have insured a portion of our outstanding vehicle-backed debt; |
| an occurrence or threat of terrorism, pandemic disease, natural disasters or military conflict in the locations in which we operate; |
| our dependence on third-party distribution channels, third-party suppliers of other services and co-marketing arrangements with third parties; |
| our ability to utilize derivative instruments, and the impact of derivative instruments we currently utilize, which can be affected by fluctuations in interest rates, gasoline prices and exchange rates, changes in government regulations and other factors; |
| our ability to accurately estimate our future results; |
| a major disruption in our communication network or information systems; |
| our exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historical levels; |
| our failure or inability to comply with regulations or contractual obligations or any changes in regulations or contractual obligations, including with respect to personally identifiable information; |
| any impact on us from the actions of our licensees, dealers and independent contractors; |
1
| substantial increases in the cost, or decreases in the supply, of fuel, vehicle parts, energy, labor or other resources on which we depend to operate our business; |
| risks related to our indebtedness, including our substantial amount of debt and our ability to incur substantially more debt; |
| our ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness; |
| the terms of agreements among us and our former real estate, hospitality and travel distribution businesses following the separation of those businesses from us during third quarter 2006, particularly with respect to the allocation of assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, the ability of each of the separated companies to perform its obligations, including its indemnification obligations, under these agreements, and the former real estate business right to control the process for resolving disputes related to contingent liabilities and assets; |
| risks associated with litigation involving the Company; |
| risks related to tax obligations and the effect of future changes in accounting standards; |
| risks related to the acquisition of Avis Europe plc (now known as Avis Budget EMEA Limited) (Avis Europe), including our ability to realize synergies contemplated by the transaction, the incurrence of incremental indebtedness to help fund such acquisition, and our ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Avis Europe and Avis Budget Group, Inc.; |
| risks related to other potential acquisitions of, or investments in, our current or prospective licensees, including any incurrence of incremental indebtedness to help fund such transactions and our ability to promptly and effectively integrate any acquired businesses; and |
| other business, economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, political or technological factors affecting our operations, pricing or services. |
Other factors and assumptions not identified above, including those described under Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.
You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well as those described under Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and those that may be disclosed from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except to the extent of our obligations under the federal securities laws, 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.

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 and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
Basis of Presentation
Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the United States and internationally. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Avis Budget), as well as entities in which Avis Budget directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, the Company), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting.
The Company operates in the following business segments:
| Domestic Car Rentalprovides car rentals and ancillary products and services in the United States. |
| International Car Rentalprovides vehicle rentals and ancillary products and services primarily in Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. |
| Truck Rentalprovides truck rentals and related services to consumers and commercial users in the United States. |
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 judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In managements opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring 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 the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Vehicle Programs. The Company presents separately the financial data of its vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from the Companys 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 generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of the Companys vehicle programs. The Company believes it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of its vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.
Acquisition of Avis Europe plc
In June 2011, the Company reached an agreement with Avis Europe plc (Avis Europe) to acquire all outstanding shares of Avis Europe for approximately £635 million (approximately $1 billion). In August 2011, the shareholders of Avis Europe voted to approve the acquisition and it was subsequently approved by the court. The Company completed the acquisition in October 2011. As a result of the acquisition, as of October 2011, the Company now provides vehicle rental and ancillary products and services in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. As part of the agreement to acquire Avis Europe, the Company established an escrow account and purchased £246 million to be used in the funding of the acquisition. As a result, this cash has been classified as restricted cash on the Companys Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2011.
Transaction-related Costs
As noted above, the Company completed the acquisition of Avis Europe on October 3, 2011. In addition, in September 2011, the Company announced that it had decided not to pursue the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (Dollar Thrifty) at this time in light of current market conditions. Transaction-related costs including due-diligence, financing and other costs associated with the Companys acquisition of Avis Europe and its previous efforts to acquire Dollar Thrifty, are now being classified separately in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Related costs from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
7
have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to transaction-related costs to conform to the current presentation. This reclassification had no impact on total expenses, income before income taxes, net income or earnings per share. Transaction-related costs in the future are also expected to include costs for the integration of the acquired business.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2012, as required, and it is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company plans to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2012, as required, and is assessing the manner in which it will present the required information.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which provides companies the option to bypass the annual quantitative goodwill impairment assessment and assess qualitative factors to determine whether there are events or circumstances which would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company is currently assessing whether it will elect to adopt this guidance in fourth quarter 2011, as permitted, or on January 1, 2012, as required, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan, which requires employers that participate in multiemployer pension plans to provide additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding their participation in multiemployer pension plans. The Company plans to adopt this guidance on December 31, 2011, as required, and it is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements; however, it will result in incremental disclosure about the Companys participation in multiemployer pension plans.
2. | Restructuring Charges |
Beginning in late 2008, the Company implemented initiatives within the Companys Domestic Car Rental, International Car Rental and Truck Rental segments to reduce costs, enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes and facilities. The Company incurred associated restructuring charges primarily for severance, outplacement services and other costs associated with the employee terminations.
As of September 30, 2011, the remaining liability relating to restructuring actions amounted to $1 million, primarily for Domestic Car Rental facility-related lease obligation costs for vacated locations which are expected to be paid through 2015. The Company has substantially completed its activities under this plan.
The utilization of the restructuring liability is recorded within the Companys segments as follows:

Based on the Companys amortizable intangible assets at September 30, 2011, the Company expects amortization expense of approximately $1 million for the remainder of 2011 and approximately $3 million for each of the five fiscal years thereafter.
5. | Financial Instruments |
The fair value of the Companys financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In some cases where quoted market prices are not available, prices are derived by considering the yield of the benchmark security that was issued to initially price the instruments and adjusting this rate by the credit spread that market participants would demand for the instruments as of the measurement date. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable, program cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and forecasted royalties, forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and forecasted foreign currency denominated acquisitions, including the announced agreement to acquire Avis Europe. The Company primarily hedges its foreign currency exposure to the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars, the Euro and the British pound sterling. The majority of forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. With the exception of forecasted foreign currency denominated acquisitions, fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts 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 twelve months are designated and do qualify as cash flow hedges. The amount of gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings resulting from ineffectiveness or from excluding a component of the forward contracts gain or loss from the effectiveness calculation for cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was not material, nor is the amount of gains or losses the Company expects to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next twelve months.
The Company uses various hedging strategies including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, to manage the risk related to its floating rate corporate debt. In connection with such cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portion of changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income, net of tax, and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized. The changes in fair values of hedges that were determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reclassified $36 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings in connection with the early termination of certain interest rate swaps related to the repayment of a portion of the Companys floating rate term loan. The Company estimates that approximately $37 million of losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income will be recognized over the next twelve months, which is expected to be offset in earnings by the impact of the underlying hedged items.
10
To manage the risk associated with its floating rate vehicle-backed debt, the Company uses derivatives. These derivatives include freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. In connection with such cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the change in fair value in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company records the gains or losses related to freestanding derivatives in its consolidated results of operations.
The Company periodically enters into derivative commodity contracts to manage its exposure to changes in the price of unleaded gasoline. Changes in the fair value of these freestanding derivatives are recorded in the Companys consolidated results of operations.
Certain of the Companys derivative instruments contain collateral support provisions that require the Company to post cash collateral to the extent that these derivatives are in a liability position. The aggregate fair value of such derivatives that are in a liability position and the aggregate fair value of assets needed to settle these derivatives as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $5 million, for which the Company has posted cash collateral in the same amount in the normal course of business.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company held derivative instruments with notional values as follows: interest rate caps of approximately $4.0 billion, interest rate swaps of $132 million, foreign exchange forward contracts of approximately $1.4 billion, foreign exchange swaps of $19 million and commodity contracts for the purchase of 14 million gallons of unleaded gasoline.
The Company used significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) to determine the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. Derivatives entered into by the Company are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using various valuation techniques, as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying exposure. The principal techniques used to value these instruments are discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes option valuation models. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, commodity prices, interest rate yield curves of the Company and counterparties, credit curves, counterparty creditworthiness and currency exchange rates. These factors are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.

(a) | The floating rate term loan and our revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of all of the capital stock of all of the Companys direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the capital stock of each direct foreign subsidiary, subject to certain exceptions, and liens on substantially all of the Companys intellectual property and certain other real and personal property. The floating rate term loan bears interest at the greater of three month LIBOR or 1.50%, plus 425 basis points, for a rate of 5.75% at September 30, 2011. |
During September 2011, the Company entered into an Incremental Facilities Agreement and an Incremental Tranche B Term Facility Agreement to amend its secured Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 3, 2011 (the Credit Agreement). Pursuant to these new agreements, the Credit Agreement was amended to make available to the Company a $20 million tranche A incremental term loan (the Term Loan A) and a $420 million tranche B incremental term loan (the Term Loan B) which mature in May 2016 and September 2018, respectively. The Term Loan A will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3% per annum, and the Term Loan B will bear interest at the Eurocurrency rate, of not less than 1.25% plus a margin of 5.0% per annum. The Company has agreed to pay to the Term Loan B lenders an amount equal to 2.0% each such lenders commitments under the Term Loan B which was structured as an original issue discount. Both the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B were contingent upon the Companys acquisition of Avis Europe, which occurred on October 3, 2011.
During October 2011, the Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2020. The notes will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning in March 2012. The notes were originally issued as unsecured obligations of the Companys AE Escrow Corporation subsidiary, and were subsequently assumed by Avis Budget Car Rental and guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. These notes were issued at par and the proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of Avis
13
Europe. The notes rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and are senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Company has the right to redeem these notes in whole or in part at any time at the applicable redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. In connection with the sale of the notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which, in November 2011 it launched an offer to exchange the originally issued notes for new notes which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The terms of the new notes will be substantially identical to those of the originally issued notes except that the transfer restrictions and registration rights provisions relating to the originally issued notes will not apply to the new notes.

(a) | This revolving credit facility matures in 2016 and bears interest of one month LIBOR plus 325 basis points. The senior credit facility, which encompasses the floating rate term loan, the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and the revolving credit facility, is secured by pledges of all of the capital stock of all of the Companys direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by the Companys domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and liens on substantially all of the Companys intellectual property and certain other real and personal property. |
(b) | During September 2011, this revolving credit facility was amended to expand the available capacity to $1.4 billion, contingent upon the completion of the Companys acquisition of Avis Europe, which occurred on October 3, 2011. |
During September 2011, the Company entered into a Senior Interim Loan Agreement to replace the Senior Secured Interim Loan Agreement and the Senior Unsecured Interim Loan Agreement entered into in June 2011, in connection with the planned acquisition of Avis Europe. Deferred financing fees related to the replaced loan agreements have been expensed in transaction-related costs. The Senior Interim Loan Agreement provides for a commitment of up to $580 million and initially bears interest, at the Companys option, at either a Eurocurrency rate, which shall not be less than 1.5%, plus a margin of 7.50% per annum or an alternate base rate, which shall not be less than 2.5%, plus a margin of 6.50% per annum, subject to increase by 0.50% per annum at the end of each consecutive three-month period ending after the date of funding of the interim loans through the one-year anniversary of the interim loan funding date, subject to a cap. Any borrowings under this loan agreement would mature on the seven-year anniversary of the funding date. This loan agreement expired pursuant to its terms in October 2011, and the Company made no borrowings under it.
The agreements governing the Companys indebtedness contain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on dividends paid to the Company by certain of its subsidiaries, the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, acquisitions, mergers, liquidations, and sale and leaseback transactions. The Companys senior credit facilities contain maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratio requirements. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its senior credit facilities.

In 2010, the Company established a variable funding note program with a maximum capacity of $400 million of notes to be issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding to the Company to finance the purchase of vehicles. These variable funding notes pay interest of 4.5% at September 30, 2011 and mature in March 2012. As of September 30, 2011, there were no outstanding amounts due to the Company from Avis Budget Rental Car Funding under the program. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, no funding under the program occurred; however, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company earned interest income of $4 million and incurred equal amounts of interest expense on these notes, which were eliminated in consolidation in the Companys financial statements.

11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Contingencies
Separation. In connection with the separation of Cendant Corporation (as the Company was formerly known) into four independent companies (the Separation), the Company completed the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation (Realogy) and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Wyndham) on July 31, 2006 and completed the sale of Travelport, Inc. (Travelport) on August 23, 2006. In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company entered into the Separation Agreement, pursuant to which Realogy assumed 62.5% and Wyndham assumed 37.5% of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the Companys vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred or allegedly incurred on or prior to the separation of Travelport from the Company (Assumed Liabilities). If Realogy or Wyndham were to default on its payment of costs or expenses to the Company related to any Assumed Liabilities, the Company would be responsible for 50% of the defaulting partys obligation.
The Company does not believe that the impact of any contingent liabilities constituting Assumed Liabilities should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity, as Realogy and Wyndham have agreed to assume responsibility for these liabilities. The Company is also named in various litigation matters that are primarily related to the businesses of its former subsidiaries, including Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport and their current or former subsidiaries. The Company is entitled to indemnification under the Separation Agreement from such entities for any liability resulting from such litigation.
In April 2007, Realogy was acquired by an affiliate of Apollo Management VI, L.P. The acquisition does not affect Realogys obligation to satisfy 62.5% of the contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement. As a result of the acquisition, Realogy has greater debt obligations and its ability to satisfy its portion of the contingent and other corporate liabilities may be adversely impacted. In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, Realogy posted a letter of credit in April 2007 for the benefit of the Company to cover its estimated share of the Assumed Liabilities discussed above, subject to adjustment, although there can be no assurance that such letter of credit will be sufficient or effective to cover Realogys actual obligations if and when they arise.
Litigation. In October 2009, a judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $16 million following the completion of a jury trial for damages in the United States District Court for the District of Alaska. The lawsuit, which was filed in 2003, involved breach of contract and other claims by one of the Companys licensees related to the acquisition of the Budget vehicle rental business in 2002. The Company believes the verdict in this case is unsupported by the evidence. In addition to the judgment for damages, in June 2010, the district court also entered an order against the Company in the amount of $3 million, in favor of the plaintiffs motions for pre-judgment interest and attorneys fees. The Company has filed an appeal of the judgment and attorneys fees awarded with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is also involved in claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to its vehicle rental operations, including with respect to contract disputes, business practices (including wage and hour claims, insurance claims, intellectual property claims, environmental issues and other commercial, employment and tax matters), and breach of contract claims by licensees. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes that its accruals are appropriate, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could materially impact the Companys results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.
Commitment for the Acquisition of Avis Europe
On June 14, 2011, the Company and Avis Europe announced that they had reached an agreement on the terms of an acquisition by the Company of all outstanding shares of Avis Europe in exchange for £3.15 in cash per Avis Europe share, which values Avis Europes ordinary equity at approximately £635 million, or approximately $1.0 billion. The acquisition by the Company was effected by means of a scheme of arrangement between Avis Europe and its shareholders pursuant to Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006. On October 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Avis Europe. The Company funded the acquisition using a combination of its own cash resources and incremental indebtedness.

Commitments to Purchase Vehicles
The Company maintains agreements with vehicle manufacturers under which the Company has agreed to purchase approximately $4.4 billion of vehicles from manufacturers over the next twelve months. The majority of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers satisfying their obligations under the repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements. The purchase of such vehicles is financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle-backed debt in addition to cash received upon the sale of vehicles in the used car market and under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs.
Concentrations
Concentrations of credit risk at September 30, 2011 include (i) risks related to the Companys repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign car manufacturers, including General Motors Company, Kia Motors America, Inc., Hyundai Motor America, Chrysler Group LLC, and Ford Motor Company and (ii) risks related to Realogy and Wyndham, including receivables of $97 million and $59 million, respectively, related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with the Separation.
Other Guarantees
The Company has provided certain guarantees to, or for the benefit of, subsidiaries of Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport. These guarantees primarily relate to various real estate operating leases that were entered into prior to the Separation. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company may be required to make under the guarantees relating to the various real estate operating leases is estimated to be approximately $130 million, the majority of which expire by the end of 2014. At September 30, 2011, the liability recorded by the Company in connection with these guarantees was approximately $3 million. To the extent that the Company would be required to perform under any of these guarantees, the Company is entitled to indemnification by Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport, as applicable. The Company monitors the credit ratings and other relevant information for Realogy, Wyndham and Travelports parent company in order to assess the status of the payment/performance risk of these guarantees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Companys net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges decreased by $40 million and $36 million ($24 million and $22 million, net of tax), respectively, primarily due to the realization of losses in income. These cash flow hedges were primarily used to manage the interest-rate risk associated with the Companys floating rate vehicle-backed and corporate debt. Such decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included $39 million and $42 million ($24 million and $26 million, net of tax), respectively, related to the Companys vehicle-backed debt and is offset by a corresponding change in the Companys Investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
In first quarter 2010, the Company reclassified $36 million ($22 million, net of tax) of unrealized losses on certain interest rate swaps to early extinguishment of debt in connection with the repayment of a portion of the Companys floating rate term loan and the settlement of such hedges.
13. | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company records compensation expense for all outstanding employee stock awards based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date, which is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3 million and $3 million ($2 million and $2 million, net of tax) during third quarter 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $14 million and $11 million ($8 million and $7 million, net of tax) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to employee stock awards that were granted by the Company.
The Company applies the direct method and tax law ordering approach to calculate the tax effects of stock-based compensation. In jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards, tax deductions for 2011 and 2010 exercises of stock-based awards did not generate a cash benefit. Approximately $40 million of tax benefits will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized in these jurisdictions.
Restricted Stock and Stock Unit Awards
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted 355,000 and 971,000 market-vesting restricted stock units, respectively, and 648,000 and 989,000 time-based restricted stock units, respectively, under the Companys amended 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan. The number of market-vesting restricted stock units which will ultimately vest is based on the Companys common stock achieving certain price targets for a specified number of trading days. Of the market-vesting restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 262,000 units vest after three years and 93,000 units vest 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Of the time-based restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 617,000 vest ratably on the first three anniversaries of the grant date and 31,000 vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. For the market-vesting restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 600,000 units vest ratably over years two through five following the date of grant and 371,000 vest after three years. Of the time-based restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 789,000 vest ratably on the first three anniversaries of the grant date and 200,000 vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
The Company determined the fair value of its market-vesting restricted stock units granted in 2011 and 2010 using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of each of the Companys market-vesting restricted stock units which contain three- and four-year vesting periods, issued in 2011, was estimated to be approximately $11.39 and $12.53,
18
respectively. The fair value of each of the Companys market-vesting restricted stock units which contain three- and five-year vesting periods, issued in 2010, was estimated to be approximately $8.88 and $9.57, respectively. The assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the market-vesting restricted stock awards using the Monte Carlo simulation model in 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

2011 | 2010 | |||

Dividend yield |
0.0% | 0.0% |
Stock Options
During first quarter 2010, the Company granted 160,000 stock options under the Companys amended 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan. The stock options (i) vest ratably over a five-year term, (ii) expire ten years from the date of grant and (iii) have an exercise price that was set at the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant.
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the time-vesting stock options granted in first quarter 2010. Based on facts and circumstances at the time of the grant, the Company used the implied volatility of its publicly traded, near-the-money stock options with a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Company considered several factors in estimating the life of the options granted, including the historical option exercise behavior of employees and the option vesting periods. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and, since the Company did not currently pay or plan to pay a dividend on its common stock, the expected dividend yield was zero. The fair value of the Companys time-vesting stock options issued in first quarter 2010 was estimated to be $6.16. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value using the Black-Scholes simulation option pricing in first quarter 2010 were as follows:

14. | Segment Information |
The reportable segments presented below represent the Companys operating segments for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker, the Companys chief executive officer, to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as income from continuing operations before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization, any impairment charge, transaction-related costs, non-vehicle related interest and income taxes. As of June 30, 2011 management revised the manner in which it evaluates the operating results by excluding transaction-related costs from Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented. The Companys presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
