Seasonality

Car rental and equipment rental are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during spring and summer. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our business is highly seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations." The following tables set forth this seasonal effect by providing quarterly revenues and operating income for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2007.
