Hertz said it achieved positive adjusted corporate EBITDA for the first time in nearly two years due to disciplined fleet management, operational efficiency and cost management measures. The company ended the period with over $1.45 billion in liquidity.

“We’re building a stronger, more resilient Hertz – one that’s operationally sound, financially disciplined, and positioned to lead in the future of mobility.”

Vehicle utilization reached 83% in the second quarter. Hertz noted that close to 80% of its core U.S. rental fleet is less than a year old. The company’s retail vehicle sales volume was the highest its been in five years.

HTZ Price Action: Hertz shares were up 9.9% at $6.12 at the time of publication Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro.
