(CAR) Misled Investors Regarding the Company's Strategy to Accelerate Fleet Rotations According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Avis Budget crafted and implemented a plan to significantly accelerate its fleet rotation in the fourth quarter of 2024; (ii) the foregoing acceleration shortened the useful life of the majority of the Company's vehicles in the Americas segment, thereby reducing their recoverable value; (iii) as a result, Avis Budget would be forced to recognize billions of dollars in impairment charges and incur substantial losses; (iv) all the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a significant negative impact on the Company's financial results; and (v) accordingly, Avis Budget's financial and/or business prospects were overstated. Plaintiff alleges that on February 11, 2025, Avis Budget released disappointing financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, including a loss of $1.96 billion, or $55.66 per share, for the quarter, compared to a profit of $259 million, or $7.10 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Avis Budget attributed these results to "a change in strategy to significantly accelerate fleet rotations, which resulted in shortening the useful life of the majority of our vehicles in the Americas segment[,]" causing "a one-time non-cash impairment of $2.3 billion and other non-cash related charges of $180 million." The press release also announced that the Company's CEO would be stepping down and the Company's Chief Transformation Officer would be taking over the role. On this news, Avis Budget's stock price fell $6.12 per share, or almost 7%, to close at $83.59 per share on February 11, 2025.
