OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
[4:55 p.m.] Bryan Oates
OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead

3. 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 the cost of new vehicles;
• a decrease in our ability to acquire or dispose of cars generally through repurchase or guaranteed depreciation
programs and/or dispose of vehicles through sales of vehicles in the used car market;
• a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars;
• a downturn in airline passenger traffic in the United States or in the other international locations in which we
operate;
• an occurrence or threat of terrorism, pandemic disease, natural disasters or military conflict in the markets in
which we operate;
• our dependence on third-party distribution channels;
• a disruption or decline in rental activity, particularly during our peak season or in key market segments;
• a disruption in our ability to obtain financing for our operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via
the asset-backed securities and lending market;
• a significant increase in interest rates or in borrowing costs;
• our failure to increase or decrease appropriately the size of our fleet due to the seasonal nature of our business;
• our ability to accurately estimate our future results;
• our ability to implement our strategy for growth;
• a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks;
• our failure or inability to comply with regulations or any changes in regulations;
• our failure or inability to make the changes necessary to operate effectively now that we operate independently
from the former real estate, hospitality and travel distribution businesses following the separation of those
businesses from our parent company during third quarter 2006;
• other business, economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, political or technological factors affecting
our operations, pricing or services;
• risks inherent in the restructuring of the operations of Budget Truck Rental;
3
4. • risks inherent in the separation and related transactions, including risks related to our new borrowings, and
costs of the separation; and
• the terms of agreements among the separated companies, including the allocations of assets and liabilities,
including contingent liabilities and guarantees, commercial arrangements and the performance of each of the
separated companies’ obligations under these agreements;
Other factors and assumptions not identified above 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 in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made
by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information 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 unless required by law.

5. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying
Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions and those relating to our
results of operations are presented before taxes.
We operate two of the most recognized brands in the global vehicle rental industry through Avis Rent A Car System, LLC
and Budget Rent A Car System, Inc.
We operate in the following business segments:
• Domestic Car Rental—provides car rentals and ancillary products and services in the United States.
• International Car Rental—provides car rentals and ancillary products and services primarily in Canada, Argentina,
Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• Truck Rental—provides truck rentals and related services to consumers and light commercial users in the United
States.
Our revenues are derived principally from car and truck rentals in our company-owned operations and include (i) time
and mileage (“T&M”) fees charged to our customers for vehicle rentals, (ii) reimbursement from our customers for certain
operating expenses we incur, including gasoline and vehicle licensing fees, as well as airport concession fees, which we pay
in exchange for the right to operate at airports and other locations, and (iii) sales of loss damage waivers and insurance, and
rentals of navigation units and other items in conjunction with vehicle rentals. We also earn royalty revenue from our
franchisees in conjunction with their vehicle rental transactions.
Car rental volumes are closely associated with the travel industry, particularly airline passenger volumes, or enplanements.
Because we operate primarily in the United States and generate a significant portion of our revenue from our on-airport
operations, we expect that our ability to generate revenue growth will be somewhat dependent on increases in domestic
enplanements. We have also experienced significant per-unit fleet cost increases on model-year 2006 and 2007 vehicles,
which have negatively impacted our margins. Accordingly, our ability to achieve profit margins consistent with prior periods
remains dependent on our ability to successfully reflect corresponding changes in our pricing programs.
Our vehicle rental operations are seasonal. Historically, the third quarter of the year has been our strongest quarter due to the
increased level of leisure travel and household moving activity. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the third
quarter could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have a predominantly
variable cost structure and routinely adjust the size and, therefore, the cost of our rental fleet in response to fluctuations in
demand. However, certain expenses, such as rent, are fixed and cannot be reduced in response to seasonal fluctuations in our
operations.
We believe that the following trends, among others, may affect and/or have impacted our financial condition and results of
operations:
• Domestic enplanements, which remained relatively flat compared to 2005, but are expected to increase modestly in
2007, assuming there are no major disruptions in travel;
• Rising per-unit car fleet costs, which we began to experience in 2005 and anticipate will continue with model-year
2007 vehicles;
• Pricing increases, which we instituted throughout 2006 in response to rising fleet costs and intend to continue to
pursue, where appropriate; and
• Our continued expansion in off-airport, or local market segments, including insurance replacement rentals.

6. SEPARATION PLAN
From October 2005 to July 2006, the Board of Directors of Avis Budget Group, Inc. (formerly Cendant Corporation)
(“ABGI”) approved a plan to separate ABGI into four independent companies one for each of ABGI’s Hospitality Services
(including Timeshare Resorts) (Wyndham Worldwide Corporation), Real Estate Services (Realogy Corporation), Travel
Distribution Services (Travelport) and Vehicle Rental (Avis Budget Group, Inc.) businesses.
On July 31, 2006, ABGI completed the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation in a tax-free
distribution of one share each of Realogy and Wyndham common stock for every four and five shares, respectively, of
outstanding Cendant common stock held on July 21, 2006. On August 23, 2006, ABGI completed the sale of Travelport for
net proceeds of approximately $4.1 billion, of which approximately $1.8 billion was utilized to repay debt related to
Travelport. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement among Travelport, Realogy and Wyndham, during third
quarter 2006, ABGI distributed approximately $2.2 billion of such proceeds to Realogy and Wyndham. The Company
continues to be wholly-owned by ABGI.
In connection with the execution of the separation plan, we and/or our parent have entered into certain agreements with the
separated businesses, including the following:
• Tax-sharing, in which responsibility for historical tax obligations has been apportioned and Realogy and Wyndham
will share responsibility for certain contingent tax liabilities;
• Cross-marketing, which seeks to contractually replicate the revenue synergies that have existed among the various
businesses;
• Cross-indemnification, in which each (i) entity retained responsibility for its own business liabilities, (ii) Realogy
and Wyndham assumed primary responsibility for certain contingent corporate-level liabilities, and (iii) the benefit
of certain contingent corporate-level assets were apportioned among the separated businesses; and
• Separation and transition services, which cover various logistical and administrative issues related to the separation,
including short-term provision of information technology services and shared facilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred separation related charges of $23 million in connection with this
plan, consisting primarily of employee stock compensation and other employee costs. Additionally, the Company eliminated
$811 million of intercompany receivables from ABGI.
In connection with the separation plan, during April 2006, we issued $1.0 billion of fixed and floating rate senior unsecured
notes and borrowed $875 million under a new $2.4 billion secured facility consisting of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility
with a five-year maturity and a term loan of $875 million with a six-year maturity.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. The reportable segments presented below
represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and utilized on a regular basis by our
chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we
also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each
of our reportable segments based upon revenue and “EBITDA”, which we define as income before income taxes, non-vehicle
depreciation and amortization and interest on corporate debt, net (other than intercompany interest related to tax benefits and
working capital advances). Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
We measure performance using the following key operating statistics: (i) rental days, which represent the total number of
days (or portion thereof) a vehicle was rented, and (ii) T&M revenue per rental day, which represents the average daily
revenue we earned from rental and mileage fees charged to our customers. Our car rental operating statistics (rental days and
T&M revenue per rental day) are all calculated based on the actual usage of the vehicle during a 24-hour period. We believe
that this methodology, while conservative, provides our management with the most relevant statistics in order to manage the
businesses. Our calculation may not be comparable to other companies’ calculation of similarly titled statistics.

(*)
Does not include intercompany interest income of $21 million and $26 million in 2006 and 2005 respectively, related to tax benefits
and working capital advances, which are included within EBITDA.
Domestic Car Rental
Revenues increased $286 million (7%) while EBITDA decreased $11 million (5%) in 2006 compared with 2005. We
achieved higher car rental pricing in 2006 compared to 2005, but EBITDA margin comparisons were negatively impacted by
higher fleet costs.
The revenue increase of $286 million was comprised of a $222 million (7%) increase in T&M revenue and a $64 million
(8%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 1% increase in the number of
days a car was rented and a 6% increase in T&M revenue per day. We expect to realize continuing year-over-year price
increases into 2007 as we seek to offset the impact of higher fleet costs and interest rates, which we began to experience in
the second half of 2005. Fleet depreciation and lease charges increased $122 million (12%) in 2006 primarily due to (i) an
increase of 1% in the average size of our domestic rental fleet and (ii) increased per unit fleet costs for model year 2007 and
2006 vehicles compared, respectively, to model year 2006 and 2005 vehicles. We incurred $5 million more vehicle-related
interest expense during 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to a decrease in intercompany interest income. The impact of
rising interest rates was substantially offset by the reduction in vehicle related debt in April 2006 with the proceeds from our
new corporate borrowings. Interest expense related to such corporate debt is not included in EBITDA, whereas interest
related to vehicle–backed debt is included in EBITDA.
The $64 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $27 million increase in counter sales of insurance
and other items, (ii) a $24 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, which was offset in EBITDA
by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a
$13 million increase in gasoline revenues, which was offset in EBITDA by $24 million of additional gasoline costs. EBITDA
from our domestic car rental operations also reflects (i) $87 million of additional expenses primarily associated with
increased car rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs, (ii) $43 million of incremental
expenses primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages and other costs, (iii) $28 million of
incremental agency operator and credit card commission expense associated with increased T&M revenue and (iv) $19
million of separation-related charges we incurred during 2006 primarily related to accelerated vesting of stock-based
compensation awards. Such activity was partially offset by (i) a $26 million decrease in public liability and property damage
costs reflecting more favorable claims experience, (ii) the absence of $12 million of expenses relating to damages caused by
the hurricanes experienced in the Gulf Coast in September 2005, (iii) a $10 million reduction in incentive compensation
expenses and (iv) the absence of $10 million of litigation expense incurred in 2005 resulting from the settlement of a dispute.
International Car Rental
Revenues increased $100 million (15%) while EBITDA was unchanged in 2006 compared with 2005, primarily reflecting
growth in rental day volume and the impact on our 2006 results of franchisees acquired during or subsequent to 2005, as
discussed below. Our EBITDA margins were negatively impacted by higher fleet and interest costs.
The revenue increase of $100 million was comprised of a $69 million (14%) increase in car rental T&M revenue and a $31
million (18%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 13% increase in the
number of days a car was rented (which includes 4% organic growth) and a 2% increase in T&M revenue per day. The
7
8. favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was partially offset in EBITDA by $35 million (24%) of increased fleet
depreciation and lease charges resulting from an increase of 13% in the average size of our international rental fleet and
increased per-unit fleet costs. We incurred $10 million more vehicle-related interest expense during 2006 compared to 2005,
primarily due to increased interest rates.
The $31 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $16 million increase in counter sales of insurance
and other items, (ii) an $11 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, the majority of which was
offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory
authorities, and (iii) a $4 million increase in gasoline revenues, which was partially offset in EBITDA by $1 million of
additional gasoline costs. EBITDA also reflects (i) $20 million of higher operating expenses primarily due to increased car
rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs, (ii) $20 million of incremental expenses
primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages and other costs and (iii) $7 million of incremental
agency-operator and credit card commission expense associated with increased T&M revenue. The increases discussed above
also include (i) $55 million of revenue and $1 million of EBITDA losses resulting from our acquisitions of international
franchisees during or subsequent to 2005 and (ii) a $12 million increase in revenue related to favorable foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, which was substantially offset in EBITDA by the opposite impact of foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations on expenses.
Truck Rental
Revenues and EBITDA declined $74 million (14%) and $58 million (56%), respectively, for 2006 compared with 2005,
primarily reflecting lower rental day volume and lower T&M revenue per day. EBITDA was also impacted by higher fleet
costs.
Substantially all of the revenue decrease of $74 million was due to a decrease in T&M revenue, which reflected a 14%
reduction in rental days and a 2% decrease in T&M revenue per day. The 14% reduction in rental days reflected declines
primarily in commercial volumes and a 5% reduction in the average size of our rental fleet. Despite the reduction in the
average size of our truck rental fleet, reflecting our efforts to focus on newer and more efficient trucks, we incurred $23
million (23%) of incremental fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges primarily due to higher per-unit fleet costs.
EBITDA was also unfavorably impacted by the absence of a $13 million credit relating to a refinement made during 2005 in
how we estimate repair and refurbishment costs of our truck fleet. During 2006, we recorded $3 million of separation related
charges, including debt termination and other costs. These items were partially offset by (i) a $31 million decrease in
operating expenses primarily due to operating a smaller and more efficient fleet and reduced rental volumes, (ii) a $13
million decrease in our public liability and property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims experience and a
reduction in rental days, (iii) a decrease of $12 million in credit card and other commission expense partially associated with
decreased T&M revenue and (iv) the absence of a $5 million restructuring charge recorded in 2005, which represented costs
incurred in connection with the closure of a reservation center and unprofitable rental locations, which was more than offset
by an $8 million charge in 2006 principally related to the closure of the Budget Truck Rental headquarters and other facilities
and reductions in staff.

9. Domestic Car Rental
Revenues increased $451 million (12%) while EBITDA decreased $40 million (15%) in 2005 compared with 2004, primarily
reflecting growth in rental day volume offset by both reduced T&M revenue per rental day and higher fleet costs.
The revenue increase of $451 million was comprised of a $339 million (11%) increase in T&M revenue and a $112 million
(18%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenues was principally driven by a 14% increase in rental days,
partially offset by a 3% decrease in T&M revenue per day. The increase in rental days reflects, in part, our strategic decision
to implement more competitive pricing in the second half of 2004. This program was continued into the first half of 2005
when we instituted a price increase in response to rising fleet costs. Accordingly, T&M revenue per day decreased 3% during
2005 when compared with 2004 as a whole, but year-over-year price comparisons strengthened over the course of 2005. Fleet
depreciation, interest and lease charges increased $226 million (21%) in 2005 primarily due to (i) an increase of 14% in the
average size of our domestic rental fleet and (ii) reductions to manufacturer incentives received on our 2005 model year
rental car fleet (which was utilized during 2005) as compared with those received on our 2004 model year rental car fleet
(which was utilized during 2004). We also incurred $181 million of additional expenses primarily associated with increased
car rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs, commissions and shuttling costs.
The $112 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $48 million increase in airport concession and
vehicle licensing revenues, which was more than offset in EBITDA by $51 million of higher airport concession and vehicle
licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, (ii) a $35 million increase in counter sales of insurance
and other items, and (iii) a $29 million increase in gasoline revenues, which was more than offset in EBITDA by $39 million
of higher gasoline costs.
EBITDA from our domestic car rental operations also reflects $28 million of incremental interest income earned on
intercompany balances with our corporate parent, which was forgiven in connection with the separation, partially offset by (i)
$12 million of incremental expenses relating to the estimated damages caused by the hurricanes experienced in the Gulf
Coast in 2005 and (ii) $10 million of additional litigation expense resulting from the settlement of a dispute.
International Car Rental
Revenues and EBITDA increased $127 million (24%) and $14 million (14%), respectively, in 2005 compared with 2004,
primarily reflecting growth in rental day volume.
The revenue increase of $127 million was comprised of an $86 million (22%) increase in T&M revenue and a $41 million
(29%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenues was principally driven by a 17% increase in rental days
and a 4% increase in T&M revenue per day. The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was partially offset in
EBITDA by $49 million (45%) of increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges principally resulting from an
increase of 21% in the average size of our international rental fleet to support increased demand. We also incurred $48
million of additional expenses primarily associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle
maintenance and damage costs, commissions and shuttling costs.
The $41 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $24 million increase in counter sales of insurance
and other items, (ii) a $12 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, substantially all of which are
remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities thereby having a minimal impact on EBITDA, and (iii) a $5 million
increase in gasoline revenues, which was more than offset in EBITDA by $6 million of higher gasoline costs.
The increases discussed above include $46 million of revenue and $1 million of EBITDA losses resulting from our
acquisitions of international franchisees during 2005, as well as the effect of favorable foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations of $28 million, which was largely offset in EBITDA by the opposite impact of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations on expenses.
9
10. Truck Rental
Revenues increased $29 million (6%), while EBITDA decreased $2 million (2%) in 2005 compared with 2004.
The revenue increase of $29 million was comprised of an $18 million (4%) increase in T&M revenue and an $11 million
(16%) increase in counter sales of insurance and other items. The increase in T&M revenues was principally driven by a 3%
increase in T&M revenue per day and a modest increase in rental days. The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues
was more than offset in EBITDA by $39 million of increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges principally
resulting from an increase of 10% in the average size of our truck rental fleet and higher per unit fleet costs.
EBITDA from our truck rental operations also reflects (i) $6 million of additional dealer commission expense associated with
increased T&M revenue, as discussed above and (ii) $5 million of restructuring costs, representing facility, employee
relocation and severance costs incurred in connection with the closure of a reservation center and unprofitable Budget truck
rental locations. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $13 million credit relating to a refinement made during 2005 in
how we estimate repair and refurbishment costs of our truck fleet and (ii) a $7 million decrease in our self-insurance reserve
for public liability and property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims experience.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We present separately the financial data of our vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities as the
assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. Assets under vehicle programs
are funded through borrowings under asset-backed funding or other similar arrangements. 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 our vehicle programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our vehicle programs
because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing
activities, including available funding arrangements and committed credit facilities, each of which is discussed below.
Cash Flows
At December 31, 2006, we had $130 million of cash on hand, an increase of $72 million from $58 million at December 31,
2005. The following table summarizes such increase:
Twelve Months Ended December 31,
2006 2005 Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 1,469 $ 1,549 $ (80)
Investing activities (745) (2,593) 1,848
Financing activities (651) 949 (1,600)
Effects of exchange rate changes (1) (1) -
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 72 $ (96) $ 168
During 2006, we generated $80 million less cash from operating activities in comparison to 2005. This change principally
reflects (i) a decrease in net income in 2006 due to increased fleet costs, higher interest expense associated with our new
corporate borrowings and separation expenses, (ii) a $22 million decrease related to income taxes and (iii) greater working
capital requirements.
We used approximately $1.8 billion less cash from investing activities during 2006 compared with 2005. This change is
primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.9 billion related to payments received on vehicles repurchased by
manufacturers partially offset by (i) a $134 million increase in vehicles purchased and (ii) a $95 million payment made
during 2006 associated with a litigation matter, which was offset by an inflow in financing activities as a result of funding
received from ABGI for this matter. During 2007, we expect to utilize at least $4.7 billion of cash to purchase
10
11. rental vehicles, which will primarily be funded with proceeds received on the sale of rental vehicles to manufacturers under
our repurchase or guaranteed depreciation agreements, as well as borrowings under our vehicle-backed debt programs. We
anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments (for items other than rental vehicles) in 2007 to approximate $75 million
to $85 million.
We used $651 million of cash in financing activities in 2006 compared to generating $949 million of cash in financing
activities in 2005. Such change principally reflects a $3.8 billion decrease in net borrowings to fund the acquisition of
vehicles, consistent with the reduction in net vehicle purchases discussed above, partially offset by proceeds received in
connection with the issuance of $1,875 million of fixed and floating rate notes in April 2006 and $371 million more cash
received in connection with intercompany activities with ABGI (inclusive of funding for the litigation matter described
above).
Debt and Financing Arrangements
At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $7.1 billion of indebtedness (including corporate indebtedness of
approximately $1.8 billion and debt under vehicle programs of approximately $5.3 billion).
Corporate indebtedness consisted of:
Maturity As of December 31,
Date 2006 2005 Change
Floating rate term loan (a) April 2012 $ 838 $ -$ 838
Floating rate notes (a) May 2014 250 - 250
7⅝ % notes (a) May 2014 375 - 375
7¾ % notes (a) May 2016 375 - 375
Other - 1 (1)
$ 1,838 $ 1 $ 1,837
__________
(a)
In connection with the execution of our separation plan, we borrowed $1,875 million in April 2006, which consisted of (i) $1 billion of
unsecured fixed and floating rate notes and (ii) an $875 million secured floating rate term loan under a credit facility. The floating rate
term loan and floating rate notes bear interest at three month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and three month LIBOR plus 250 basis
points, respectively. We swapped a substantial portion of this floating rate indebtedness to fixed rate exposure in 2006 through the use
of interest rate derivatives.
The following table summarizes the components of our debt under vehicle programs (including related party debt due to Avis
Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP), LLC):
As of December 31,
2006 2005 Change
Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (a) $ 4,511 $ 6,932 $ (2,421)
Budget Truck financing:
HFS Truck Funding program (b) - 149 (149)
Budget Truck Funding program (b) 135 - 135
Capital leases (c) 257 370 (113)
Other (d) 367 433 (66)
$ 5,270 $ 7,884 $ (2,614)
____________
(a)
The change in the balance at December 31, 2006 principally reflects the payment of vehicle backed notes with a portion of the
proceeds from the $1,875 million of fixed and floating rate financings completed in April 2006 and a decrease in required financing,
due to a decrease in the size of our domestic fleet.
(b)
We terminated the HFS Truck Funding program in November 2006, at which time remaining obligations there under were repaid. The
Budget Truck Funding program was established to finance the acquisition of a portion of our truck rental fleet.
(c)
The change in the balance at December 31, 2006 reflects a decrease in the utilization of capital lease arrangements to finance the
acquisition of our truck rental fleet.
(d)
The change in the balance at December 31, 2006 primarily reflects decreased borrowings under our bank loan and commercial paper
conduit facilities supporting the fleet of our international operations.

Due in 2011 9 600
Thereafter 1,777 303
$ 1,838 $ 5,270
At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $3.8 billion of available funding under our various financing arrangements
(comprised of approximately $1.2 billion of availability at the corporate level and approximately $2.6 billion available for
use in our vehicle programs). As of December 31, 2006, the committed credit facilities available to the Company include:
Total Outstanding Letters of Available
Capacity Borrowings Credit Issued Capacity
$1.5 billion revolving credit facility (a) $ 1,500 $ - $ 284 $ 1,216
____________
(a)
This secured revolving credit facility was entered into in April 2006, has a five year term and currently bears interest at one month
LIBOR plus 125 basis points.
The following table presents available funding under our debt arrangements related to our vehicle programs at December 31,

The outstanding debt is collateralized by $726 million of vehicles and related assets.
The significant terms for our outstanding debt instruments, credit facilities and available funding arrangements as of
December 31, 2006 can be found in Notes 11 and 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY RISK
We believe that access to our existing financing arrangements is sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable
future.
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in the vehicle rental industry. Additionally, our
liquidity as it relates to vehicle programs could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the
underlying assets of such programs or (ii) increased costs associated with the principal financing program for our vehicle
rental subsidiaries if General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company is not be able to honor its obligations to
repurchase or guarantee the depreciation on the related vehicles. Access to our credit facilities may be limited if we were to
fail to meet certain financial ratios or other requirements.
12
13. Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial ratios and, as of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance
with all financial covenants under our credit facilities.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006:

term loan.
(b)
Represents debt under vehicle programs (including related party debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding), which was issued to
support the purchase of vehicles.
(c)
Primarily represents commitments to purchase vehicles from either General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company. 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 through the issuance of debt under vehicle programs in addition to cash received
upon the sale of vehicles primarily under repurchase programs and guaranteed depreciation agreements (see Note 12 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements).
The above table does not include future cash payments related to interest expense or any potential amount of future payments
that we may be required to make under standard guarantees and indemnifications that we have entered into in the ordinary
course of business. For more information regarding guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 13 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical Accounting Policies
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required
to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events and/or events that are outside of our
control. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our
consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used
when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies
that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, our
businesses operate in environments where we are paid a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority
of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly
subjective, nor complex.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets. We have reviewed the carrying value of our goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets.” In performing this review, we are required to make an assessment of fair value for our goodwill
and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including
projections of future cash flows. A change in these underlying assumptions will cause a change in the results of the tests and,
as such, could cause the fair value to be less than the respective carrying amount. In such event, we would then be required to
record a charge, which would impact earnings. We review the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.
The aggregate carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets was approximately $2.2 billion and
$666 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006.
13
14. Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are allocated among three reporting units. Accordingly, it is difficult
to quantify the impact of an adverse change in financial results and related cash flows, as such change may be isolated to one
of our reporting units or spread across our entire organization. In either case, the magnitude of any impairment to goodwill or
other indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from adverse changes cannot be estimated. However, our businesses are
concentrated in one industry and, as a result, an adverse change in the vehicle rental industry will impact our consolidated
results and may result in impairment of our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets to assess their
potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets that we believe will not be ultimately
realized. In performing this review, we make estimates and assumptions regarding projected future taxable income, the
expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. A
change in these assumptions could cause an increase or decrease to our valuation allowance resulting in an increase or
decrease in our effective tax rate, which could materially impact our results of operations. Additionally, our income tax
returns are periodically examined by various tax authorities. We establish reserves for tax treatments when, despite our belief
that the treatments are fully supportable, certain treatments are likely to be challenged and where we may not succeed in
defending our position. We adjust our reserves upon the closing of a tax audit, which in some cases can occur several years
following the related transaction or the filing of the tax return under examination, or upon the occurrence of other changes in
facts and circumstances that indicate an adjustment may be necessary (including subsequent rulings and interpretations by tax
authorities or court decisions on similar matters). Changes to the reserves could materially impact our results of operations.
See Notes 2 and 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding income taxes.
Financial Instruments. We estimate fair values for each of our financial instruments, including derivative instruments. Most
of these financial instruments are not publicly traded on an organized exchange. In the absence of quoted market prices, we
must develop an estimate of fair value using dealer quotes, present value cash flow models, option pricing models or other
conventional valuation methods, as appropriate. The use of these fair value techniques involves significant judgments and
assumptions, including estimates of future interest rate levels based on interest rate yield curves, volatility factors, and an
estimation of the timing of future cash flows. The use of different assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts recorded in the financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements. In addition, hedge accounting requires that at the beginning of each hedge period, we justify an expectation that
the relationship between the changes in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges compared to changes in the fair value
of the underlying hedged items will be highly effective. This effectiveness assessment, which is performed at least quarterly,
involves an estimation of changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates, as well as the probability of the
occurrence of transactions for cash flow hedges. The use of different assumptions and changing market conditions may
impact the results of the effectiveness assessment and ultimately the timing of when changes in derivative fair values and the
underlying hedged items are recorded in earnings.
Public Liability, Property Damage and Other Insurance Liabilities, Net. Insurance liabilities on our Consolidated Balance
Sheets include additional liability insurance, personal effects protection insurance, public liability, property damage and
personal accident insurance claims for which we are self insured. We estimate the required liability of such claims on an
undiscounted basis utilizing an actuarial method that is based upon various assumptions which include, but are not limited to,
our historical loss experience and projected loss development factors. The required liability is also subject to adjustment in
the future based upon changes in claims experience, including changes in the number of incidents (frequency) and changes in
the ultimate cost per incident (severity).
Changes in Accounting Policies
During 2006, we adopted the following standards as a result of the issuance of new accounting pronouncements:
●SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements”
●SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”
● SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”
14
15. We will adopt the following recently issued standards as required:
● SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
● FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
For detailed information regarding any of these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 2 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions)
1. Basis of Presentation
Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, Inc. (formerly
Cendant Corporation) (“ABGI”), provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the
United States and internationally. The Company operates in the following business segments:
The Company operates in the following business segments:
• Domestic Car Rental—provides car rentals and ancillary products and services in the United States.
• International Car Rental—provides car rentals and ancillary products and services primarily in Canada,
Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• Truck Rental—provides truck rentals and related services to consumers and light commercial users in the
United States.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Rent A Car System,
LLC (“Avis”) and Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. (“Budget”), both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company.
In presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. During
fourth quarter 2006, the Company revised the presentation of its Consolidated Balance Sheets to segregate current and
non-current assets and liabilities, which is consistent with the presentation utilized by ABGI.
Certain corporate and general and administrative expenses (including those related to executive management, tax,
insurance, accounting, legal and treasury services, purchasing, facilities, human resources, certain employee benefits,
information technology, telecommunications, call centers, marketing and real estate usage) have been allocated by ABGI
to the Company based on forecasted revenues, headcount or actual utilization of the services, as applicable. Management
believes such allocations are reasonable. However, the associated expenses recorded by the Company in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income may not be indicative of the actual expenses that might have been
incurred had the Company performed these functions using internal resources or purchased services. Refer to Note 18—
Related Party Transactions, for a detailed description of the Company’s transactions with ABGI.
Vehicle Programs. The Company presents separately the financial data of its vehicle programs. These programs are
distinct from the Company’s other activities since the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is
collateralized by such assets. Assets under vehicle programs are funded through borrowings under asset-backed funding
or other similar arrangements. 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 Company’s 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.
Separation Plan. From October 2005 to July 2006, the Board of Directors of ABGI approved a plan to separate ABGI
into four independent companies, one for each of ABGI’s Hospitality Services (including Timeshare Resorts) (Wyndham
Worldwide Corporation), Real Estate Services (Realogy Corporation), Travel Distribution Services (Travelport) and
Vehicle Rental (Avis Budget Group, Inc.) businesses.

23. On July 31, 2006, ABGI completed the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation in a
tax-free distribution of one share each of Realogy and Wyndham common stock for every four and five shares,
respectively, of outstanding Cendant common stock held on July 21, 2006. On August 23, 2006, ABGI completed the
sale of Travelport for net proceeds of approximately $4.1 billion, of which approximately $1.8 billion was utilized to
repay debt related to Travelport. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement among Travelport, Realogy and
Wyndham, during third quarter 2006, ABGI distributed approximately $2.2 billion of such proceeds to Realogy and
Wyndham. The Company continues to be wholly-owned by ABGI.
In connection with the execution of the separation plan, the Company and/or its parent have entered into certain
agreements with the separated businesses, including the following:
• Tax-sharing, in which responsibility for historical tax obligations has been apportioned and Realogy and
Wyndham share responsibility for certain contingent tax liabilities;
• Cross-marketing, which seeks to contractually replicate the revenue synergies that have existed among the
various businesses;
• Cross-indemnification, in which each entity retained responsibility for its own business liabilities, Realogy and
Wyndham, which exclude the Company and its subsidiaries, assumed primary responsibility for certain
contingent corporate-level liabilities and the benefit of certain contingent corporate-level assets were
apportioned among the separated businesses; and
• Separation and transition services, which cover various logistical and administrative issues related to the
separation, including short-term provision of information technology services and shared facilities.
During the 2006, the Company incurred separation related charges of $23 million in connection with this plan, consisting
primarily of employee stock-based compensation charges and other employee costs. Additionally, the Company
eliminated $811 million of intercompany receivables from ABGI.
In connection with the separation plan, during April 2006, the Company issued $1.0 billion of fixed and floating rate
senior unsecured notes and borrowed $875 million under a new $2.4 billion secured facility consisting of a $1.5 billion
revolving credit facility with a five-year maturity and a term loan of $875 million with a six-year maturity (see Note 11 –
Long-term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements for further information).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
CONSOLIDATION POLICY
In addition to consolidating entities in which the Company has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest, the
Company evaluates the consolidation of entities to which common conditions of consolidation, such as voting interests
and board representation, do not apply. The Company performs this evaluation pursuant to FASB Interpretation No.
46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R concludes that, in the absence of clear control
through voting interests, board representation or similar rights, a company’s exposure, or variable interest, to the
economic risks and potential rewards associated with its interest in the entity is the best evidence of control.
In connection with FIN 46R, when evaluating an entity for consolidation, the Company first determines whether an
entity is within the scope of FIN 46R and if it is deemed to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the entity is
considered to be a VIE, the Company determines whether it would be considered the entity’s primary beneficiary. The
Company consolidates those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, the Company
will consolidate an entity not deemed either a VIE or qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) upon a determination
that its ownership, direct or indirect, exceeds fifty percent of the outstanding voting shares of an entity and/or that it has
the ability to control the financial or operating policies through its voting rights, board representation or other similar
rights. For entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest (financial or operating), the investments in
such entities are classified as available-for-sale securities or accounted for using the equity or cost method, as
appropriate. The Company applies the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies of an investee in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.”

24. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company operates and franchises the Avis and Budget rental systems, providing vehicle rentals to business and
leisure travelers and others. Revenue from vehicle rentals is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented. Franchise
revenue principally consists of royalties received from the Company’s franchisees in conjunction with vehicle rental
transactions. Royalties are accrued as the underlying franchisee revenue is earned (generally over the rental period of a
vehicle). Revenue from the sale of gasoline is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented and is based on the
volume of gasoline consumed during the rental period or a contracted fee paid by the customer at the time the vehicle
rental agreement is executed. The Company is reimbursed by its customers for certain operating expenses it incurs,
including gasoline and vehicle licensing fees, as well as airport concession fees, which the Company pays in exchange
for the right to operate at airports and other locations. Revenues and expenses associated with gasoline, vehicle licensing
and airport concessions are recorded on a gross basis within revenue and operating expenses, respectively, on the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
VEHICLE DEPRECIATION AND LEASE CHARGES, NET
Vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of the vehicles is net of incentives and
allowances from vehicle manufacturers. The Company acquires the majority of its rental vehicles pursuant to repurchase
and guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. Under these programs, the
manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price and date or guarantee the depreciation rate for a specified
period of time, subject to certain eligibility criteria (such as car condition and mileage requirements). The Company
depreciates vehicles such that the net book value of the vehicles on the date of return to the manufacturers is intended to
equal the contractual guaranteed residual values, thereby minimizing any gain or loss on the sale of the vehicles. The
Company records depreciation expense for any expected deficiency in the contractual guaranteed residual values due to
excessive wear or damages. At December 31, 2006, the Company estimates that the difference between the contracted
guaranteed residual value and the carrying value of these vehicles was $67 million, which has already been reflected in
the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Company also acquires a portion of its rental vehicles outside of manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed
depreciation programs. These vehicles are depreciated based upon their estimated residual values at their expected dates
of disposition, after giving effect to anticipated conditions in the used car market. All rental vehicles are depreciated on
a straight-line basis. Depreciation for vehicles acquired under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs includes
consideration of the contractual guaranteed residual values and the number of months between the original purchase date
of the vehicle and the expected sale date of the vehicle back to the manufacturers. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, rental
vehicles were depreciated at rates ranging from 7% to 34% per annum. As market conditions change, the Company
adjusts its depreciation. Upon disposal of the vehicles, depreciation expense is also adjusted for any difference between
the net proceeds from the sale and the remaining book value. Vehicle-related interest amounts are net of interest income
of $6 million, $4 million and $4 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
ADVERTISING EXPENSES
Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expenses, recorded within selling, general and
administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, were approximately $107 million, $100
million and $97 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income taxes are included in the consolidated federal tax return of ABGI for 2006, 2005 and 2004. In
addition, the Company has filed consolidated and combined state income tax returns with ABGI in jurisdictions where
required or permitted. The provision for income taxes is computed as if the Company filed its federal and state income
tax returns on a stand-alone basis.
The Company’s provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax
assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax
bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. The Company’s deferred tax assets are recorded net of a
valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. Decreases to the valuation allowance are
F-9
25. recorded as reductions to the Company’s provision for income taxes while increases to the valuation allowance result in
additional provision. However, if the valuation allowance is adjusted in connection with an acquisition, such adjustment
is recorded through goodwill rather than the provision for income taxes. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax
assets, net of the valuation allowance, is primarily dependent on estimated future taxable income. A change in the
Company’s estimate of future taxable income may require an addition or reduction to the valuation allowance.
During 2006, the Company revised how it records the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards by other entities
within the ownership structure of the Company’s parent, ABGI. The Company determined it would be preferable to
record the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards as a transfer of assets among related parties reflected in the
Company’s intercompany balance with ABGI. Previously, the Company reflected such utilization as a charge to its
deferred income tax provision with a corresponding benefit recorded within its current income tax provision.
The adoption of this change in accounting policy resulted in an approximately $101 million decrease to the Company’s
deferred income tax provision with a corresponding increase to the Company’s current income tax provision for the year
ended December 31, 2006. Such adoption did not affect the Company’s reported earnings or financial position. The
following schedule presents the effect by financial statement line item of this change on prior years:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks associated
with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and gasoline costs. As a matter of policy, the
Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated
as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income within the same
line item as the hedged item (principally vehicle interest, net). The effective portion of changes in fair value of
derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The
ineffective portion is recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, including vehicle
interest, net or interest related to corporate debt, net based upon the nature of the hedged item. Amounts included in other
comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings.
F-10
26. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation, recorded as a component of non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization in the
Consolidated Statements of Income, is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements, also recorded as a component of non-vehicle related
depreciation and amortization, is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the
related assets, which may not exceed 20 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Useful lives are generally 30 years for
buildings, three to seven years for capitalized software, three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and
four to 15 years for buses and support vehicles.
The Company capitalizes the costs of software developed for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position No.
98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” Capitalization of
software developed for internal use commences during the development phase of the project. The Company amortizes
software developed or obtained for internal use on a straight-line basis, for three to seven years, when such software is
substantially ready for use. The net carrying value of software developed or obtained for internal use was $50 million as
of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
On March 30, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47,
“Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”), which clarifies that conditional asset retirement
obligations are within the scope of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 requires the
Company to recognize a liability for the fair value of conditional asset retirement obligations if the fair value of the
liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 47 in fourth quarter 2005, as required.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a $14 million ($8 million after tax) non-cash charge to reflect the cumulative effect
of accounting change during 2005 relating to the Company’s obligation to remove assets at certain leased properties.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In connection with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), the Company is required
to assess goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if
circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses goodwill for such impairment by
comparing the carrying value of its reporting units to their fair values. Each of the Company’s reportable segments
represents a reporting unit. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units utilizing discounted cash flows
and incorporates assumptions that it believes marketplace participants would utilize. When available and as appropriate,
the Company uses comparative market multiples and other factors to corroborate the discounted cash flow results. Other
indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment and written down to fair value, as required by SFAS No. 142.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if
circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred, pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying
values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such
assets. Property and equipment is evaluated separately within each segment. If such analysis indicates that the carrying
value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the
Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company recorded no impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets during
2006, 2005 or 2004.
PROGRAM CASH
Program cash primarily represents amounts specifically designated to purchase assets under vehicle programs and/or to
repay the related debt.
