PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM l.    Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 27, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1—Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or "Hertz Holdings," is our top-level holding company. The Hertz Corporation, or "Hertz," is our primary operating company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Investors, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Hertz Holdings. "We," "us" and "our" mean Hertz Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hertz.
We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Ford Motor Company acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985. Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 and had no operations prior to the Acquisition (as defined below).
On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:
Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., which was succeeded by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or "CD&R,"
The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and
Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity, Inc., or "MLGPE,"
acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the former parent company of MLGPE. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of our common stock held by the investment funds associated with MLGPE. We refer to CD&R, Carlyle and MLGPE collectively as the "Sponsors." We refer to the acquisition of all of Hertz's common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."
After giving effect to our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings, the Sponsors' holdings represent approximately 38% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings as of September 30, 2012.
On September 1, 2011, Hertz completed the acquisition of Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services.
On December 31, 2011, Hertz purchased the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C., thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.
On August 26, 2012, Hertz Holdings, HDTMS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings, and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or "Dollar Thrifty," entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the "Merger Agreement," pursuant to which Hertz Holdings would acquire Dollar Thrifty for $87.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without any interest and less any required withholding taxes, in a transaction valued at a corporate enterprise value of approximately $2.3 billion. After taking into account our use of approximately $400 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, we expect to use approximately $345 million of our cash and cash equivalents to consummate the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty and to finance the remaining $1.95 billion through a combination of $750 million in incremental term loans under our Senior Term Facility and $1.2 billion in senior notes which was raised in October 2012. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction has been structured as a two-step acquisition including a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock followed by a cash merger in which Hertz Holdings would acquire any remaining outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock. The transaction is subject to the tender of at least a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock, as well as other customary closing conditions. The successful completion of the transaction is also subject to regulatory clearance by the Federal Trade Commission. Hertz Holdings has also reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., to sell the Advantage Rent A Car business, selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets. The closing of that divestiture is conditioned upon, among other things, Hertz Holdings completing an acquisition of Dollar Thrifty. Hertz Holdings estimates that it would realize a loss before income taxes of approximately $30 million to $35 million as a result of this divestiture. We can offer no assurance that the Merger Agreement will be consummated.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
The significant accounting policies summarized in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on February 27, 2012, or the "Form 10-K," have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Franchise revenues and transactions
“Franchise revenues” includes franchise fees for use of our brands and services. Generally franchise fees from franchised locations are based on a percentage of net sales of the franchised business and are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured.
Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred income when received and are recognized as revenue when all material services and conditions related to the franchise fee have been substantially performed.
Renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the license agreements are effective and collectability is reasonably assured.
Other (income) and expenses, net includes the gains or losses from the sales of our operations or assets to new and existing franchisees. Such gains or losses are included in operating income because they are expected to be a recurring part of our business.
The December 31, 2011 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP."
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. These provisions became effective for us beginning with the quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," which defers the timing of implementing only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment", which states that that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount.

This provision is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company is presently assessing whether to adopt in relation to its annual impairment test scheduled for the fourth quarter.
Note 3—Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
In our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we net cash flows from revolving borrowings in the line item "Proceeds (payments) under the revolving lines of credit, net."
Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, for our Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $302.2 million and $213.6 million, respectively. The increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with our fleet debt of $88.6 million from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 was primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

Other amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of our Advantage trade name and concession rights, Donlen trade name, reacquired franchise rights, non-compete agreements and technology-related intangibles.
(2)
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of reacquired franchise rights.
Amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $19.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $58.9 million and $51.2 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of September 30, 2012, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $18.5 million for the remainder of 2012, $77.2 million in 2013, $72.8 million in 2014, $70.5 million in 2015, $21.7 million in 2016 and $8.7 million in 2017.
On September 1, 2011, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity interest in Donlen, a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services. The amount of revenue and earnings of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2010, are as follows (in millions):

2011 supplemental pro forma revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $0.6 million related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $0.4 million related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2011 supplemental pro forma revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $3.2 million related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $2.0 million related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting.
This transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP and operating results of Donlen from the date of acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired is complete.
Advantage Divestiture
On August 26, 2012, Hertz Holdings entered into a Merger Agreement with HDTMS, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings, and Dollar Thrifty pursuant to which Hertz Holdings has agreed to acquire Dollar Thrifty. The Merger Agreement provides that, with respect to obtaining antitrust approval of the acquisition, Hertz Holdings is required to, among other actions, divest its Advantage Rent A Car, or "Advantage," business, together with certain additional assets and airport concessions, pursuant to a proposed consent agreement currently under discussion between Hertz Holdings and the United States Federal Trade Commission, or the "FTC;" provided, however, that any such divestitures shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.  To that end,

Hertz Holdings has reached a definitive agreement with Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., providing for the divestiture of its Advantage business, or the "Advantage Divestiture," selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets, contingent on a successful acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.

As of September 30, 2012, the Advantage business was classified as held and used as the sale transaction was not probable and was contingent upon acquisition of Dollar Thrifty as of such date. Hertz's agreement to divest its Advantage business, which if consummated would result in a loss, triggered an interim impairment analysis. The assets were evaluated for impairment under a probability-weighted approach for developing estimates of future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability. The sum of future undiscounted cash flows of the Advantage business exceeds the carrying value as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, no impairment has been recognized at September 30, 2012.

Hertz estimates that the occurrence of the Advantage Divestiture would cause Hertz to realize a loss (before income taxes) in the range of approximately $30 million to $35 million.  This estimated loss associated with the Advantage Divestiture is preliminary and subject to further adjustments. We can offer no assurance that the Merger Agreement will be consummated.
Other Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we added nineteen domestic equipment rental locations through external acquisitions. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.
Note 5—Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 34.1% and 43.1%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income of $126.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $83.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized. The provision for taxes on income of $211.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $87.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized.

The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, included net gains of $9.7 million and $26.3 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and net gains of $3.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations. The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, included net gains of $82.9 million and $86.0 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and net gains of $10.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $59.4 million and $96.7 million in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in an increase of $0.1 million in depreciation expense.

Our short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2012 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the European Securitization, Australian Securitization, Senior ABL Facility, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility, Canadian Securitization, Capitalized Leases, European Revolving Credit Facility and the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes. These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. Short-term borrowings also include the Convertible Senior Notes which became convertible on January 1, 2012 and remain as such through December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 2.3%.
We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2012, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $601.1 million. Of this amount, $553.3 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities ($291.0 million of which was issued for the benefit of the U.S. ABS Program, and $65.7 million was related to other debt obligations primarily to support self-insurance programs as well as airport concession obligations in the United States, Canada and Europe). As of September 30, 2012, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

2012 Events
On January 1, 2012, our Convertible Senior Notes became convertible. This conversion right was triggered because our closing common stock price per share exceeded $10.77 for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on December 31, 2011. Since this same trigger was met in the third quarter of 2012, the Convertible Senior Notes continue to be convertible through December 31, 2012, and may be convertible thereafter, if one or more of the conversion conditions specified in the indenture is satisfied during future measurement periods. Our policy has been and continues to be to settle conversions of Convertible Senior Notes using a combination of cash and our common stock, which calls for settling the fixed dollar amount per $1,000 in principal amount in cash and settling in shares the excess conversion, if any.
In February 2012, Hertz called the remainder of its outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and 7.875% Senior Notes due January 2014 for redemption. Hertz redeemed these notes in full during March 2012.
In February 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $850 million to $900 million. In July 2012 Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary GN Funding II L.L.C. to further increase the capacity of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from $900 million to $1 billion and to extend the maturity date of the Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes from August 2012 to December 2012.
In March 2012, Hertz issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2012 offering were used to redeem all of the outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 and together with cash on hand, all of the outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $3.2 million.
In March 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary HC Limited Partnership to amend the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from March 2012 to May 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the maturity date was extended to June 2013.
In April 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," to pay off the remaining debt outstanding under the U.S. ABS Program Series 2011-2 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes and terminated the facility.
In May 2012, Hertz caused its wholly-owned subsidiary HVF to increase the borrowing capacity of its Series 2009-1 U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes by $250 million.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2013 to June 2015.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2012 to February 2013.
In June 2012, Hertz amended the European Seasonal Revolving Credit Facility under the European Revolving Credit Facility to create a commitment period running from June 2012 to November 2012 that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €85.7 million (the equivalent of $110.3 million as of September 30, 2012), subject to borrowing base availability.
In July 2012, Hertz caused its subsidiary, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. to amend the European Securitization to extend the maturity from July 2013 to July 2014.
In August 2012, Hertz obtained commitments to make unsecured bridge loans in an aggregate amount of $1.95 billion, or the “Bridge Commitments,” in connection with the offer to acquire Dollar Thrifty. The proceeds of the bridge loans, if any, would be used to, among other things, finance a portion of the consideration Dollar Thrifty stockholders would receive in connection with the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.

Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of exchange and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in March 2012, Hertz has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz plans to enter into an exchange and registration rights agreements in connection with the release from escrow of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, HDTFS, Inc. Hertz expects to agree to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by the date that is 365 days after the respective date of the exchange and registration rights agreement or failing to complete the exchange offer by the date that is 395 days after the date of the exchange and registration rights agreement, will result in Hertz incurring special interest on such notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where a default has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. We do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts with respect to this registration payment arrangement.
Guarantees and Security
There have been no material changes to the guarantees and security provisions of the debt instruments and credit facilities under which our indebtedness as of September 30, 2012 has been issued from the terms disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Financial Covenant Compliance
Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of September 30, 2012, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."
We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.
We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).
As of September 30, 2012, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.3 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,092.3 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.
Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.
Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $658.5 million and $456.3 million, respectively, and total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $658.0 million and $455.8 million, respectively.

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we contributed $14.5 million and $46.7 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $0 and $3.2 million, respectively, to our United Kingdom, or "U.K.," defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we contributed $16.6 million and $73.7 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $0.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively, to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. The level of future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.
On June 30, 2011, we approved an agreement with the trustees of our U.K. defined benefit pension plan to cease all future benefit accruals to existing members and to close the plan to new members. Effective July 1, 2011, we introduced a defined contribution plan with company matching contributions to replace the U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The company matching contributions are generally 100% of the employee contributions, up to 8% of pay, except that former members of the defined benefit pension plan receive an enhanced match for five years. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a gain of $13.1 million for the U.K. plan that represented unamortized prior service cost from a 2010 amendment that eliminated discretionary pension increases related to pre-1997 service primarily for inactive employees.
We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants' contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. We also have a key officer postretirement car benefit plan that provides the use of a vehicle from our fleet and insurance for the participants' benefit for retired Senior Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retire at age 58 or above. The assigned car benefit is available for 15 years post-retirement or until the participant reaches the age of 80, whichever occurs last.
We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation
In March 2012, we granted 543,880 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," to certain executives and employees at fair values ranging from $13.65 to $14.47, 747,423 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," at a fair value of $13.65, and 1,098,591 PSUs (referred to as Price Vesting Units, or "PVUs") at fair values ranging from $10.13 to $11.26 under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan." The PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on 2012 and 2013 Corporate EBITDA results. "EBITDA" means consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation (which includes revenue earning equipment lease charges) and amortization and "Corporate EBITDA," represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as provided in the applicable award agreements. Of the PVUs granted, one half will fully vest after three years if the stock price appreciates 15% over the grant date price, and one half will fully vest after four years if the stock price appreciates 25% over the grant date price. Partial attainment of the stock appreciation targets will result in partial vesting. The achievement of the market condition for the PVUs is determined based on the average closing stock price for the 20 trading day period ending March 6, 2015 and 2016, respectively. In May 2012, we granted 146,301 RSUs at a fair value of $15.48 and in August 2012, we granted 59,480 RSUs at a fair value of $12.12.
A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under our Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Prior Plans," and the Omnibus Plan, including the cost of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, is as follows (in millions of dollars):

As of September 30, 2012, there was approximately $44.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted by Hertz Holdings under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.4 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.
Note 10—Segment Information
Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment, or "equipment rental." Other reconciling items include general corporate assets and expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities. Donlen is included in the car rental reportable segment.
Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. The contribution of our reportable segments to revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and the reconciliation to consolidated amounts are summarized below (in millions of dollars).
