Hertz Global said on its third-quarter call that it now expects fourth-quarter adjusted corporate EBITDA of negative $50 million to $100 million, lower than its prior view. It attributed the change to softness in international markets, lower TSA volumes and elevated collision and maintenance costs. It now expects year-end liquidity of approximately $800 million, down from approximately $1 billion, excluding any strategic transactions.
