Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell team up with GSK to raise awareness about meningitis risks for teens and young adults

Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell team up with GSK to raise awareness about meningitis risks for teens and young adults

  • On-screen parenting duo stars in new, original video highlighting relatable parenting moments, educating viewers about meningococcal disease, also known as meningitis

  • GSK’s Ask2BSure campaign encourages parents of teens and young adults ages 16-23 years to ask their teen’s doctor about meningitis risks and vaccination

  • The video is now available on GSK’s YouTube channel

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today announced new campaign spokespeople, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, as part of its Ask2BSurepublic health campaign to raise awareness and encourage parents to “ask to be sure” about the risks of meningococcal disease, also known as meningitis. As part of the initiative, the duo stars in an original video titled The Mening-Itinerary, whichis available now on GSK’s YouTube channel.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260504262982/en/

The Mening-Itinerary

The Mening-Itinerary

The Mening-Itinerary takes viewers on a journey through everyday moments of parenting teens in real-world environments—like dorms, parties, and gyms—where teens live, gather, share space, and, through certain everyday behaviors, may share the bacteria that can cause meningitis.1,2,3 Along the way, Bowen and Burrell dig deeper into meningitis risks, hear powerful stories from real-life disease survivors and their families, and uncover the questions parents may not realize they should be asking about meningitis and vaccination.

As parents of teens themselves, both Bowen and Burrell understand that staying informed is one of the best ways to advocate for their teens’ health.

Julie Bowen said: “As a proactive parent, I was surprised to learn that my own 18-year-old son hadn’t completed his meningitis B vaccination series. It was a reminder that even as a parent who tries to stay on top of things, it’s easy to miss something.”

Ty Burrell said: “We are excited to bring this educational message to life, blending humor and heart in a way that is accessible to fellow parents of teens. My teen daughters are everything to me, and I hope this video encourages parents to have a conversation with their teen’s doctor about meningitis risk and vaccination.”

The Ask2BSure campaign helps to educate parents about meningitis, an uncommon but serious illness that can cause permanent complications, or even death, sometimes within 24 hours.1,2,3,4,5 Amongst teens and young adults, 16- to 23-year-olds have the highest rates of meningitis.1,6 The bacteria that can cause meningitis can pass from one person to another through certain everyday activities like sharing food, drinks and utensils, kissing, and living in close quarters.7,8 About 10-15% of people who get meningitis will die,2 and 1 in 5 survivors suffer from long-term consequences, including limb amputation, brain damage, and hearing loss.2,3

There are different types of meningitis vaccinations, and parents may not know if their teens are vaccinated or assume they already are. Some teens may have received vaccination for meningitis groups A, C, W, and Y, but they may still be missing meningitis B vaccination.9

Cynthia Burman, Head, Pediatric, Adolescent and Pipeline Vaccines, Medical Affairs for GSK said: “Meningococcal disease isa serious and potentially life-threatening disease, and many parents may not realize that their teen could be missing vaccination. This effort plays an important part in raising awareness and helping parents make informed decisions by encouraging conversations with their teen’s healthcare provider about meningitis vaccinations and any missed doses.”

This video is now available to watch on GSK’s YouTube channel and at Ask2BSure.com.

About GSK’s Ask2BSure Campaign

Ask2BSure aims to educate and empower parents of teens and young adults to start meningitis conversations with their teen’s doctors and “ask to be sure” about meningitis and vaccination. Find out more at Ask2BSure.com.

Hertz Announces Q1 2026 Results, Strongest Revenue Growth in Three Years

Hertz Announces Q1 2026 Results, Strongest Revenue Growth in Three Years

With the launch of Oro Mobility, Hertz expands into new mobility channels and advances its platform for growth

“The transformation of Hertz continues to build sustained momentum,” said Gil West, Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. “We set ambitious goals for the quarter and delivered meaningful progress across revenue, asset efficiency, and unit economics. We achieved our strongest year‑over‑year revenue growth in three years alongside profitability improvements, demonstrating that our strategy is translating into tangible results.”

On the Company’s recent news, West added: “The launch of Oro Mobility marks an important milestone in the expansion of the Hertz growth platform. As the mobility ecosystem evolves, there is a clear need for an operational layer that connects demand platforms with vehicles and autonomous technology at scale. Leveraging Hertz’s century of expertise in complex fleet operations, Oro is purpose‑built to address that gap by delivering flexible, integrated fleet solutions for both driver‑led and autonomous models, opening a new chapter for Hertz.”

ESTERO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) (“Hertz,” “Hertz Global,” or the “Company”) today reported results for its first quarter 2026.

Q1 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue totaled $2.0 billion in the first quarter, up 11% year over year, Hertz’s strongest year-over-year revenue growth in three years, driven by continued progress in its commercial strategies.

  • Year-over-year Revenue per Unit (RPU) and Revenue Per Day (RPD) metrics continued improving sequentially, with RPD delivering a 5.5% increase, its most significant year-over-year improvement since 2022.

  • GAAP net loss for the quarter totaled $333 million and Diluted GAAP EPS was $(1.06). Adjusted net loss was $224 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $(0.72), resulting in a year-over-year improvement of $105 million and an Adjusted EPS improvement of $0.35.

  • Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was $(161) million, an improvement of nearly 50% year over year. This is inclusive of a negative impact of over $25 million from vehicle recalls.

  • Utilization was 79% in the first quarter, a decline of 70 basis points year-over-year; excluding elevated recalls, Utilization was up 140 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025.

  • Net Depreciation per Unit per Month (Net DPU) was $312 in in the first quarter, approaching the Company’s North Star target and representing a year-over-year improvement of 13%, supported by disciplined fleet rotation. The used car market was in the seasonal trough through February, but has since improved considerably.

  • Hertz earned the only car rental spot on USA Today’s list of Most Trusted Brands for 2026 and the highest year over year improvement of any car rental company on Business Travel News’ satisfaction survey.

  • The Company continues to drive improvements in customer experience to strengthen its Global Net Promoter score consistently across the business, measuring record satisfaction in Europe in the first quarter.

  • Hertz ended the first quarter with approximately $837 million of liquidity and in April completed additional financing that added approximately $200 million.

PLATFORM HIGHLIGHTS

  • Hertz recently launched an affiliated operating company Oro Mobility (Oro) to provide driver-led and autonomous end‑to‑end fleet management solutions to partners across emerging mobility segments.

  • Hertz Car Sales continues to expand its digital retail presence through a new partnership with eBay, bringing thousands of Hertz Certified, near-new vehicles to one of the world’s largest ​online ​automotive marketplaces.

Q1 Summary

Hertz’s first quarter performance underscores that its transformation is driving tangible results. Through its “Back-to-Basics” strategy, the Company is delivering measurable progress in its core rental operations with a focus on disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization, and rigorous cost control, all guided by its North Star metrics of DPU sub $300, RPU over $1,500, and DOE per Transaction Day in the low $30s.

In the first quarter, the Company delivered sequential improvements through its “Buy Right, Hold Right, Sell Right” strategy with its youngest fleet in nearly a decade. Hertz achieved revenue of $2.0 billion in the first quarter, up 11% year over year and marking its strongest revenue growth in three years through continued, structural improvements to its commercial strategies. The Company drove sequential, year-over-year improvement in RPU and RPD, with RPD delivering a 5.5% increase, which was its most significant year-over-year improvement since the the travel recovery and microchip-driven spike in 2022. These results, along with the progress towards the Company’s North Star DPU target and continued implementation of cost management initiatives, resulted in an Adjusted Corporate EBITDA improvement of nearly 50% year over year. Although Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Transaction Day increased 3%, Adjusted DOE improved approximately 2% year over year when normalizing for higher RPD-related variable costs that are EBITDA accretive, higher damages costs that are recovered through revenue and are EBITDA neutral, and higher real estate costs following sale leaseback transactions executed last year. The Company also continues to make systemic improvements across every customer touchpoint to enhance its rental experience.

Recall activity was approximately 300% higher year over year and reduced Utilization by roughly 200 basis points, impacted Transaction Days by approximately 930,000, and resulted in a revenue impact of about $50 million. The total impact to Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was more than $25 million. The Company is actively managing through this by redeploying available fleet to higher‑demand markets, working with OEMs and government officials for both tactical and structural improvements, and keeping rentable fleet well utilized relative to demand through disciplined capacity planning. The underlying business performed well in the first quarter, demonstrating that this transitory headwind has not stopped structural progress.

Platform for Growth

Hertz’s strategic transformation has two goals: to improve its core operations, while building a diversified, value-creating platform for growth. This platform spans four strategic areas – Rent-a-Car, Service, Fleet, and Mobility – each with unique potential to scale. The Company remains focused on developing capabilities across its platform to create new value beyond its rental car business.

In the first quarter, Hertz made critical advancements in the highest priority areas of its platform. In Rent-a-Car, Hertz launched an advanced fleet planning engine enabling greater precision and efficiency, which the Company expects will deliver positive impacts across the business. In Fleet, the evolution of Hertz Car Sales into an omnichannel retail business was bolstered by the announcement of a new partnership with eBay, putting the Company’s near-new, certified inventory in front of more customers than ever before.

Oro Mobility

In Mobility, Hertz recently launched its affiliated operating company, Oro, to provide flexible, integrated fleet management solutions across a range of mobility segments. As the industry transitions from personally owned vehicles to commercially operated fleets, Oro aims to fill a critical ownership, orchestration, and operations gap. Backed by Hertz’s core strengths in fleet and facility management, large-scale logistics, vehicle maintenance, and a management team with direct AV operational experience, Oro is designed to manage and serve fleets reliably, efficiently, safely, and at scale.

With the scale of a global operator and the focus of an independent entity, Oro delivers solutions for all fleets. Oro has announced Uber as a major partner across both autonomous and driver‑led operations, extending the companies’ long‑standing rideshare rental partnership.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL DATA, SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In this earnings release, we include select unaudited financial data of Hertz Global, Supplemental Schedules, which are provided to present segment results, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. Following the Supplemental Schedules, the Company provides definitions for terminology used throughout the earnings release and the Company’s rationale regarding the importance and usefulness of non-GAAP measures for investors and management.

Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update was made in an effort to better reflect management’s view of ongoing operations and operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Also effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its definition of Average Rentable Vehicles and Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period, which the Company believes is a better, more accurate measure of its vehicles. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this release, and in related comments by the Company’s management, include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts,” “guidance” or similar expressions, and include information concerning our liquidity, our results of operations, our business strategies, economic and industry conditions and other information. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that the Company has made in light of its experience in the industry, as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors. The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results, and that the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed or furnished to the SEC.

Important factors that could affect the Company’s actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, among other things.

  • mix of program and non-program vehicles in the Company’s fleet, which can lead to increased exposure to residual value risk upon disposition;
  • the potential for residual values associated with non-program vehicles in the Company’s fleet to decline, including suddenly or unexpectedly, or fail to follow historical seasonal patterns;
  • the Company’s ability to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles at a reasonable cost in order to efficiently service rental demand, including upon any disruptions in the global supply chain;
  • the Company’s ability to effectively dispose of vehicles, at the times and through the channels, that maximize the Company’s returns;

  • the Company’s ability to achieve cost savings and normalized depreciation levels, as well as revenue enhancements from its profitability initiatives and other operational programs;
  • the Company’s ability to adequately respond to changes in technology impacting the mobility industry;

  • the Company’s ability to maintain favorable brand recognition and a coordinated branding and portfolio strategy;
  • the Company’s ability to attract and retain effective front-line employees, senior management and other key employees;

  • the Company’s ability to evaluate, maintain, upgrade and consolidate its information technology systems;
  • the Company’s ability to comply with current and future laws and regulations in the U.S. and internationally regarding data protection, data security and privacy risks;
  • risks associated with operating in many different countries, including the risk of a violation or alleged violation of applicable anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws and the Company’s ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences;
  • risks relating to tax laws and those tax laws that affect the Company’s ability to recapture accelerated tax depreciation and expensing, as well as any adverse determinations or rulings by tax authorities;
  • the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards;
  • the Company’s exposure to uninsured liabilities relating to personal injury, death and property damage, or otherwise, including material litigation;
  • the potential for adverse changes in laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, including those related to environmental matters, optional insurance products or policies, franchising and licensing matters, the ability to pass-through rental car related expenses or taxes, among others, that affect the Company’s operations, the Company’s costs or applicable tax rates;
  • the risk of an impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets, which risk could be impacted by, among other things, the timing of our fleet rotation;
  • the Company’s ability to recover its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets when performing impairment analysis;
  • the potential for changes in management’s best estimates and assessments;
  • the Company’s ability to maintain an effective compliance program;

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND KEY METRICS

The term “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s segment measure of profitability and complies with GAAP when used in that context.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation of, superior to, or as a substitute for measures of the Company’s financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”)

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; vehicle and non-vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; acquisition accounting-related depreciation and amortization; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items on a pre-tax basis. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better align with the management’s view of the Company’s ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes a provision (benefit) for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory rate. The combined statutory rate is management’s estimate of the Company’s long-term tax rate. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Its most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are important operating metrics because they allow management and investors to assess operational performance of the Company’s business, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of the Company’s competitors.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA represents income or loss attributable to the Company as adjusted to eliminate the impact of GAAP income tax; non-vehicle depreciation and amortization; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; net (gains) losses on financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better align with management’s view of the Company’s ongoing operations and its operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA Margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to total revenues.

Management uses these measures as operating performance metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, and analysis of investment decisions, profitability and performance trends. These measures enable management and investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics most meaningful to the business of renting and leasing vehicles. They also allow management and investors to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as its reportable segments. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is also utilized in the determination of certain executive compensation. Its most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to the Company.

Adjusted Direct Operating Expense per Transaction Day (“Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day”)

Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is calculated as Direct Operating Expenses – as reported, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and adjustments for certain other miscellaneous or non-recurring items, divided by the number of Transaction Days during the period. Adjusted DOE per Transaction Day is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s cost efficiency on a per unit basis excluding the impact of variable direct operating expense fluctuations attributable to changes in volume, so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. Its most comparable GAAP measure is DOE per Transaction Day.

Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow

Adjusted operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities net of the non-cash add back for vehicle depreciation and reserves, and exclusive of bankruptcy related payments made post emergence. Adjusted operating cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash generated from operations when fully burdened by fleet costs.

Adjusted free cash flow represents adjusted operating cash flow plus the impact of net non-vehicle capital expenditures and net fleet growth after financing. Adjusted free cash flow is an important performance measure to management and investors as it provides useful information about the amount of cash available for, but not limited to, the reduction of non-vehicle debt, share repurchase and acquisition.

The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Net Fleet Growth After Financing

U.S. and International Rental Car segments Fleet Growth is defined as revenue earning vehicles expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals, plus vehicle depreciation and net vehicle financing, which includes borrowings, repayments and the change in restricted cash associated with vehicles. Fleet Growth is important as it allows the Company to assess the cash flow required to support its investment in revenue earning vehicles.

Net Non-vehicle Debt

Net Non-vehicle Debt is calculated as non-vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with non-vehicle debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Non-vehicle debt consists of the Company’s Senior Term Loans, Senior RCF, First Lien Senior Notes, Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured Exchangeable Notes, Senior Unsecured Notes, Promissory Notes and certain other non-vehicle indebtedness of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Net Non-vehicle Debt is important to management and investors as it helps measure the Company’s corporate leverage. Net Non-vehicle Debt also assists in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to service its non-vehicle debt without reference to the expense associated with the vehicle debt, which is collateralized by assets not available to lenders under the non-vehicle debt facilities.

Net Vehicle Debt

Net Vehicle Debt is calculated as vehicle debt as reported on the Company’s balance sheet, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issue costs associated with vehicle debt, less restricted cash associated with vehicles. Restricted cash associated with vehicle debt is restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Company’s vehicle debt facilities. Net Vehicle Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company’s leverage with respect to its vehicle assets.

Total Net Debt

Total Net Debt is calculated as total debt, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs, less total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with vehicle debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs are required to be reported as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt obligation under GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects that these costs have on debt will more accurately reflect the Company’s net debt position. Total Net Debt is important to management, investors and ratings agencies as it helps measure the Company’s gross leverage.

Net Corporate Leverage

Net Corporate Leverage is calculated as non-vehicle net debt divided by Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Corporate Leverage is important to management and investors as it measures the Company’s corporate leverage net of unrestricted cash. Net Corporate Leverage also assists in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to service its non-vehicle debt with reference to the generation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.

KEY METRICS

Available Car Days

Available Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period.

Average Vehicles (“Fleet Capacity” or “Capacity”)

Average Vehicles is determined using a daily average of the number of vehicles in the fleet whether owned or leased by the Company. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of our vehicles. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.

Average Rentable Vehicles

Average Rentable Vehicles reflects Average Vehicles excluding vehicles for sale on the Company’s retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed its definition of Average Rentable Vehicles to use a daily average of rentable vehicles as opposed to a simple average of rentable vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. The Company believes this a better, more accurate measure of its rentable vehicles. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.

Depreciation Per Unit Per Month (“Depreciation Per Unit” or “DPU”)

Depreciation Per Unit Per Month represents the amount of average depreciation expense and lease charges per vehicle per month, exclusive of the impacts of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it reflects how effectively the Company is managing the costs of its vehicles and facilitates comparisons with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.

Total Revenue Per Transaction Day (“Total RPD” or “RPD”; also referred to as “pricing”)

Total RPD represents revenue generated per transaction day, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents a measure of changes in the underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month (“Total RPU”, “RPU” or “Total RPU Per Month”)

Total RPU Per Month represents the amount of revenue generated per vehicle in the rental fleet each month, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This metric is important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased, or asset efficiency.

Transaction Days (“Days”; also referred to as “volume”)

Transaction Days represents the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period. This metric is important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue-generating days.

Vehicle Utilization (“Utilization”)

Vehicle Utilization represents the ratio of Transaction Days to Available Car Days. This metric is important to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to rentable fleet capacity.

Altasciences and Certara Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Early Drug Development

Altasciences and Certara Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Early Drug Development

LAVAL, Québec & RADNOR, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Altasciences, a fully integrated drug development solution company, andCertara (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development (MIDD), today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate early-phase development programs.

Fewer than half of preclinical drug candidates successfully reach first-in-human trials. Failures are driven by toxicity, poor pharmacokinetics, lack of efficacy, and challenges translating results from animals to humans. Many of these risks can be mitigated through a fully integrated model-informed drug development approach.

Building on Altasciences’ Acceleration Platform, the integration of Certara’s strategic drug development services and biosimulation technology enables sponsors to establish proof of mechanism earlier, design more efficient studies, and make informed go/no-go decisions with greater confidence. By embedding modeling insights and digital workflows directly into development execution, study designs are optimized, dosing strategies are refined, and programs are more seamlessly integrated across nonclinical, clinical, bioanalytical, and manufacturing services.

“At Altasciences, we already help sponsors move from first safety assessment to proof of concept with speed and precision,” said Marie-Hélène Raigneau, CEO of Altasciences. “By embedding Certara’s modeling capabilities into our platform, we can further inform critical decisions earlier and with greater confidence. This collaboration is about reducing uncertainty at the moments that matter most.”

The partnership comes at an opportune time as the FDA continues to advance new guidance supporting more adaptive, data-driven, and real-time drug development approaches, capabilities that integrated MIDD execution models are well positioned to deliver.

“This partnership unlocks new opportunities to improve early development decisions for biotech sponsors and their investors,” said Jon Resnick, CEO of Certara. “By embedding modeling and simulation directly into execution, we enable faster, more informed decision-making that ultimately benefits patients.”

Together, Altasciences and Certara are advancing a model-first, fully integrated, and resource-efficient approach to early drug development that accelerates the path to proof of concept for biotech innovators, investors, and pharmaceutical companies across the globe.
