SRS Mobility Ventures, LLC

In 2021, SRS Mobility Ventures, LLC acquired a 33 1/3% Class A Membership Interest in one of our subsidiaries at fair value of $37.5 million. SRS Mobility Ventures, LLC is an affiliate of our largest shareholder, SRS Investment Management, LLC.

On September 1, 2022, through the issuance of Class B Preferred Voting Membership Interests, SRS Mobility Ventures, LLC increased their ownership in this subsidiary to 51% at a fair value of $62 million. As a result, we deconsolidated our former subsidiary, Avis Mobility Ventures LLC (“AMV”), from our financial

statements and began to report our proportional share of the former subsidiary’s income or loss within other (income) expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as we do not have the ability to direct the significant activities of the former subsidiary and are therefore no longer primary beneficiary of the VIE. In August and October 2023, SRS made capital contributions to AMV, increasing their ownership to approximately 65%.

In accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-40, we must deconsolidate a subsidiary as of the date we cease to have a controlling interest in that subsidiary and recognize the gain or loss in net income at that time. The fair value of our retained investment was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology based on various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, which include forecast of future revenue and EBITDA. Upon deconsolidation, our former subsidiary had a net asset carrying amount of $49 million resulting in a gain of $10 million, which was reported within other (income) expense, net during the year ended December 31, 2022.

We continue to provide vehicles, related fleet services, and certain administrative services to AMV to support their operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $22 million and $7 million of related income within other (income) expense, net, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded losses of $25 million and $10 million within other (income) expense, net, related to our equity method investment, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, receivables from AMV related to these services were $2 million and $6 million, respectively, and our net investment in vehicle finance lease with AMV, which is included in vehicles, net, was $31 million and $36 million, respectively. The carrying value of our equity investment in AMV as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $24 million and $49 million, respectively, which is included in other non-current assets.
