The company reported adjusted net income for the third quarter 2018 of $180 million, or $2.14 adjusted diluted EPS, compared to $118 million, or $1.42 adjusted diluted EPS, for the same period last year. Adjusted corporate EBITDA for the third quarter 2018 was $351 million, compared to $321 million in the same period last year.

"Our operational turnaround continues to move forward as reflected by our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue and adjusted earnings growth," said Kathryn V. Marinello, president and CEO of Hertz Global. "We are balancing our priorities of targeting a higher-quality revenue mix, while making investments in our operations, brands, and technologies to optimally position the company for long-term, sustainable growth."

Adjusted corporate EBITDA for international RAC decreased 11% compared with a year ago driven by increased direct vehicle operating expenses and vehicle depreciation.
