FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "project", "estimates", "plans", "may increase", "may fluctuate" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

•: terrorist attacks, such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., other attacks, acts of war or measures taken by governments in response thereto may negatively affect the travel industry and our financial results and could also result in a disruption in our business;
•: the effect of economic or political conditions or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities on the economy on a national, regional or international basis and the impact thereof on our business;
•: the effects of a decline in travel, due to political instability, war, pandemic illness, adverse economic conditions or otherwise, on our business;
•: the effect of changes in current interest rates on our financing costs;
•: our ability to develop and implement operational, technological and financial systems to manage growing operations and to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings;
•: our ability to reduce quickly our substantial technology costs and other overhead costs in response to a reduction in revenue;
•: competition in the vehicle rental industry and the financial resources of, and products available to, competitors;
•: our ability to provide fully integrated disaster recovery technology solutions in the event of a disaster;
•: our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance our growth strategy and to operate within the limitations imposed by financing arrangements;
•: our ability to obtain external financing in the event we are unable to obtain financing from Cendant Corporation;
•: competitive and pricing pressures in the vehicle rental industry;
•: changes, if any, in vehicle manufacturer repurchase arrangements;
•: in relation to our management programs, (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs and (ii) the impairment of our ability to access our principal financing program if General Motors Corporation should not be able to honor its obligations to repurchase a substantial number of our vehicles; and
•: changes in laws and regulations or the applications thereof, including changes in accounting standards, state, international and federal tax laws, privacy policy regulations or other laws that impact our business.

Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.

You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be

made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Avis Group Holdings, Inc
Parsippany, New Jersey

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003, the related consolidated condensed statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 29, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion (and included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets, the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in thousands)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. (collectively, "the Company"). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant"). In management's opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. In addition, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Assets classified under management programs are generated in the Company's core business operations. The Company seeks to offset the interest rate exposures inherent in these assets by matching them with financial liabilities that have similar term and interest rate characteristics. Fees generated from these assets are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Funding for the Company's assets under management programs is also provided by asset-backed financing arrangements, which are classified as debt under management programs. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation and acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of the Company's management programs.

Pursuant to certain covenant requirements in an indenture under which the Company issued debt, the Company continues to operate and maintain its status as a separate public reporting entity.

The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 6, 2003.

Changes in Accounting Policies
Stock-Based Compensation. Under Cendant's existing stock plans, Cendant common stock awards (including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted stock units) are granted to the Company's employees, including directors and officers of the Company. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company measured its stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, Cendant did not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of its stock options to employees because the option terms were fixed and the exercise price equaled the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, the Company was not allocated compensation expense upon Cendant's issuance of common stock to the Company's employees. The Company complied with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 by providing pro forma disclosures of net income giving consideration to the fair value method provisions of SFAS No. 123.

On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of SFAS No. 123, which is considered by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to be the preferable accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Cendant also adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," in its entirety on January 1, 2003. Under the fair value method of accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, Cendant is required to expense all employee stock options over their vesting period based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Under SFAS No. 148, which amended SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting provisions, Cendant elected to use the prospective transition method when adopting SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, Cendant is only required to expense employee stock options that were granted subsequent to December 31, 2002.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income as if the fair value based method had been applied to all employee stock awards granted by Cendant:

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2003		2002		2003		2002
Reported net income		$	22,508	$	22,810	$	16,888	$	20,401
Add back: Stock-based employee compensation expense
	included in reported net income, net of tax^(a)		187		—		187		—
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense
	determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of tax^(b)		852		2,332		1,518		4,641

Pro forma net income		$	21,843	$	20,478	$	15,557	$	15,760

^(a): The 2003 amounts reflect the second quarter 2003 issuance by Cendant of 465 thousand restricted stock units to certain of the Company's employees (including officers) as a form of compensation. These restricted stock units entitle the employee to receive one share of Cendant's common stock upon vesting, which occurs ratably over a four year period. Accordingly, Cendant allocated compensation expense of $300 thousand to the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, which on an after-tax basis is $187 thousand.
^(b): Pro forma compensation expense reflected for grants awarded prior to January 1, 2003 is not indicative of future compensation expense that would be recorded by the Company. Future expense will vary based upon factors such as the type of award granted by the Company and the then-current fair market value of such award.

Early Extinguishment of Debt. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." Such standard requires any gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt to be presented as a component of continuing operations (unless specific criteria are met) whereas SFAS No. 4 required that such gain or loss be classified as an extraordinary item in determining net income. Accordingly, on January 1, 2003, the Company reclassified $1.3 million of 2002 pretax gains on the early extinguishments of debt to continuing operations as a component of net non-vehicle interest ($472 thousand and $822 thousand were recorded during the third and fourth quarters of 2002, respectively).

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Such standard requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities (including restructurings) initiated after December 31, 2002 to be recognized when the costs are incurred, rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This standard nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under SFAS No. 146, a liability related to an exit or disposal activity is not recognized until such liability has actually been incurred whereas under EITF Issue No. 94-3 a liability was recognized at the time of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The impact of adopting this standard was not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Guarantees. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," in its entirety. Such Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of any guarantee issued or modified after December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The impact of adopting this Interpretation was not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Such standard amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The provisions of this standard are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). Such Interpretation addresses the consolidation of entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. These entities have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities ("SPE"), although other non-SPE-type entities may be subject to the Interpretation. This Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities and

determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and other parties with significant variable interests in the entity. Transferors to a qualifying SPE ("QSPE") and certain other interests in QSPEs are not subject to this Interpretation.

While the Company will not be impacted by the consolidation requirements of FIN 46, it will be subject to the disclosure requirements for variable interest entities. The Company will adopt these disclosure requirements on July 1, 2003, as required.

2. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of:

		As of June 30, 2003						As of December 31, 2002
		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Amortized Intangible Assets
	Customer lists^(a)	$	18,952	$	2,240	$	16,712	$	18,952	$	1,760	$	17,192

Unamortized Intangible Assets
	Goodwill^(b)	$	1,255,146					$	1,254,401

^(a): Included as a component of other assets on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
^(b): The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill reflect $587 thousand of foreign currency translation adjustments and $158 thousand of goodwill in connection with the 2003 acquisition of a foreign licensee.

Amortization expense relating to customer lists was approximately $240 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 each and $480 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 each. Based on its amortizable intangible assets at June 30, 2003, the Company expects related amortization expense to approximate $1 million for the entire 2003 fiscal year and for each of the succeeding five years.

3. Vehicles, Net

Vehicles, net consisted of:

	As of June 30, 2003			As of December 31, 2002

	$	6,665,835		$	4,173,847

The components of vehicle depreciation and lease charges, net are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2003		2002			2003		2002

Loss (gain) on sales of vehicles, net		5,324		(3,125	)		15,977		(2,855	)

	$	229,571	$	161,401		$	413,613	$	321,251

Depreciation expense is net of the amortization of certain incentives and allowances from various vehicle manufacturers of approximately $50.7 million and $40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $88.0 million and $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Vehicle interest expense amounts are net of interest income of $460 thousand and $865 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company subleases a portion of its fleet to Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. ("Budget"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant not within the Company's ownership structure. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had $2,291.2 million and $182.1 million, respectively, of vehicles recorded on its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets that were subleased to Budget. These vehicles were purchased with proceeds received from the issuance of rental car asset-backed notes under the AESOP Funding Program (see Note 6—Vehicle Debt).

The Company charges Budget a monthly fee equal to the leased vehicles' monthly depreciation, interest and administrative expenses. For vehicles subleased to Budget during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded vehicle depreciation expense of $85.5 million and $119.8 million, respectively, and vehicle interest expense of $22.7 million and $33.7 million, respectively, on its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded revenue from the Budget vehicle sublease of approximately $110.2 million and $158.8 million, respectively, on its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income, which included the vehicle depreciation and interest expense, as well as administrative fees of $2.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 6, 2003. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in thousands.

We are one of the largest car rental companies in the world and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation.

Our comparative results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 comprised the following:

	2003		2002		Change
Revenues	$	730,675	$	650,631	$	80,044
Total expenses		695,003		611,303		83,700

Income before income taxes		35,672		39,328		(3,656	)
Provision for income taxes		13,164		16,518		(3,354	)

Net income	$	22,508	$	22,810	$	(302	)

Total revenues and expenses increased 12.3% and 13.7%, respectively, primarily due to our subleasing arrangement with Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure. We sublease a portion of our fleet to Budget for a monthly fee comprised of a depreciation component, interest component and administrative fee component. As a result of this relationship, we generated incremental revenues and expenses of $110.2 million and $108.2 million (consisting of vehicle depreciation expense of $85.5 million and vehicle interest expense of $22.7 million), respectively. Excluding such amounts, domestic car rental revenues declined $41 million (7%) in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. The net reduction in domestic car rental revenues was primarily due to a 10% quarter-over-quarter reduction in domestic car rental days, which was partially offset by a 1% increase in time and mileage revenue per domestic rental day, reflecting an increase in pricing. In addition, quarter-over-quarter expenses include favorable interest costs of $8 million on the financing of vehicles due to lower interest rates, which were offset by incremental vehicle-related net expenses and customer service costs. The increase in vehicle-related net expenses includes incremental maintenance and damage costs due to a reduction in warranty-related services provided to car manufacturers, a decline in gas reimbursements from our car rental customers and higher vehicle license and registration costs. Despite reduced revenue domestically, revenues from our international operations increased $10 million due to increased transaction volume and favorable foreign exchange rates, principally in Australia.

Our overall effective tax rate was 36.9% and 42.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2003 was lower primarily due to foreign and state taxes.

Our comparative results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 comprised the following:

	2003		2002		Change
Revenues	$	1,334,255	$	1,215,234	$	119,021
Total expenses		1,307,489		1,180,059		127,430

Income before income taxes		26,766		35,175		(8,409	)
Provision for income taxes		9,878		14,774		(4,896	)

Net income	$	16,888	$	20,401	$	(3,513	)

Total revenues and expenses increased 9.8% and 10.8%, respectively, primarily due to our subleasing arrangement with Budget, as discussed above. As a result of this relationship, we generated incremental revenues and expenses of $158.8 million and $153.5 million (consisting of vehicle depreciation expense of $119.8 million and vehicle interest expense of $33.7 million), respectively. Excluding such amounts, domestic car rental revenues declined $61 million (6%) in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. The net reduction in domestic car rental revenues was primarily due to an 8% period-over-period reduction in domestic car rental days, which was partially offset by a 2% increase in time and mileage revenue per domestic rental day, reflecting an increase in pricing. In addition, period-over-period expenses includes favorable interest costs of $18 million on the financing of vehicles due to lower interest rates, which were offset by incremental vehicle-related net expenses and customer service costs. The increase in vehicle-related net expenses includes incremental maintenance and damage costs due to a reduction in warranty-related services provided to car manufacturers, a decline in gas reimbursements from our car rental customers and higher vehicle license and registration costs. Despite reduced revenue domestically, revenues from our international operations increased $22 million, due to increased transaction volume and favorable foreign exchange rates, principally in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Our overall effective tax rate was 36.9% and 42.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was lower primarily due to foreign and state taxes.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We operate in an environment where we are paid a fee for a service performed. Therefore, the results of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results (financial instruments and goodwill and other intangible assets). There have not been any significant changes to those accounting policies nor to our assessment of which accounting policies that we would consider to be critical accounting policies.

On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and all the provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." As a result, our financial statements beginning on January 1, 2003 reflect compensation expense for all stock-based compensation, including common stock options granted by Cendant as such expense is now allocated to us by Cendant.

Also on January 1, 2003, we adopted the following standards as a result of the issuance of new accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in 2002:

•: SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections"
•: SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities"
•: FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others"

During 2003, the FASB issued the following pronouncements, which we will adopt on July 1, 2003:

•: FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"
•: SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"

For more detailed information regarding any of these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

As previously discussed in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in our market risk sensitive positions. We used June 30, 2003 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a): Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our President and Senior Vice President and Controller, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Senior Vice President and Controller have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
(b): Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
