Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q4 and full-year 2025 results missed guidance, with full-year revenue at $11.7 billion, a net loss of $995 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $748 million, mainly due to demand decline, pricing pressure, and a $518 million EV impairment charge.
Americas revenue fell 2% for the year, while International revenue was flat; both segments focused on profitable segments and disciplined fleet management.
Management is implementing tighter fleet discipline, utilization, and capital allocation to reduce volatility and improve returns, aiming for sustainable EBITDA above $1 billion annually.
Financial highlights
Full-year Adjusted EBITDA was $748 million, up 19% year-over-year but below the $900 million guidance; Q4 Adjusted EBITDA was $5 million, up from a $101 million loss in Q4 2024.
Full-year revenue declined 1% to $11.65 billion; Q4 revenue was $2.66 billion, down 2% year-over-year.
Per-unit fleet costs per month dropped 10% to $320 for the year and 18% to $326 in Q4.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow was negative $698 million, mainly due to $859 million in fleet contributions.
A $500–$518 million impairment/write-down was taken on the EV fleet, with $180–$183 million monetized in federal EV tax credits.
Outlook and guidance
FY 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is projected between $800 million and $1 billion, reflecting industry volatility and a conservative approach.
Per-unit fleet costs per month are expected to be $320–$330 for FY 2026.
Fleet size is expected to decrease, with a focus on utilization and contribution margin; Americas revenue is expected to grow modestly.
Depreciation per unit will be elevated in Q1 (~$400), then normalize to low $300s as the year progresses.
Management expects tightened fleet discipline and improved balance sheet to support sustainable earnings growth.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
