FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained herein under “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” may constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although Dollar Thrifty Automotive
Group, Inc. believes such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and certain factors could cause results to differ
materially from current expectations. These factors include: price and product competition; access to
reservation distribution channels; economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where
the companies’ customers reside and where the companies and their franchisees operate; natural
hazards or catastrophes; incidents of terrorism; airline travel patterns; changes in capital availability or
cost; costs and other terms related to the acquisition and disposition of automobiles; systems or
communications failures; costs of conducting business and changes in structure or operations; and
certain regulatory and environmental matters and litigation risks. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties, among others, materialize, actual results could vary from those estimated, anticipated or
projected. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-
looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to
future operating results over time.
