FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are generally used to manage certain interest rate risks through the use of interest rate swaps. These instruments, when settled, impact the Company’s cash flows from operations. On the date in which the Company enters into a derivative, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis.

Gains and losses on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent that the hedge relationship has been effective, are deferred in other comprehensive income and recognized in interest expense over the period in which the Company recognizes interest expense on the related debt instrument.

Any ineffectiveness on these instruments is immediately recognized in interest expense in the period that the ineffectiveness occurs. No significant ineffectiveness was recorded on designated hedges in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

All interest rate swaps had matured prior to the beginning of 2011.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $0.09 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million and $0.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, which are classified within other income, net in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the total of net income and all other changes in equity that result from transactions and other economic events of a reporting period other than transactions with owners. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation losses of $3.8 million and $9.2 million and the unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $0 and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-28, which modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more

Table of Contents

likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This ASU is effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations because none of our reporting units have zero or negative carrying amounts.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which amends and clarifies the acquisition date to be used for reporting pro forma financial disclosures when comparative financial statements are presented. In addition, it requires a description of the nature of and amount of any material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning in January 2012 and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as it only amends required disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Also the earnings per share computations will not change and will continue to be based on net income. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company anticipates adopting the ASU on January 1, 2012 using two separate statements of net income and other comprehensive income.

2. Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains a $500 million revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the Facility). Pursuant to the terms of the Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FleetCor Funding LLC (Funding) a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding sells, without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $500 million of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold to the Conduit. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper. On February 24, 2011, the Company extended the term of its asset securitization facility to February 23, 2012. There were no other significant changes related to the extension. The Company capitalized $0.6 million in deferred financing fees in connection with this extension. On June 22, 2011, the Company amended the terms of the Facility to remove the compliance certification reporting requirement and financial covenant requirements.

The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the accounts receivable sold as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature.

Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.

The Company’s accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable include the following at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement that is be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value at least quarterly are its money market fund investments included in cash and cash equivalents and its derivative instrument, which was included in accrued expenses. The Company determines the fair value of its money market fund investments based on quoted market prices.

Level 2 fair value determinations are derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information. Such inputs are the basis for the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments. There were no Level 2 assets which required fair value determinations at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Level 3 fair value determinations are derived from the Company’s estimate of recovery based on historical collection trends. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities which required fair value determinations at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and that are subject to the disclosure requirements of the authoritative guidance as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands). There were no financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. As necessary, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as necessary, to estimate the fair values of the assets using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and certain liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s impairment assessments and as circumstances require.

4. Share Based Compensation

The Company has Stock Incentive Plans (the Plans) pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant stock options or restricted stock to employees. The Company is authorized to issue grants of restricted stock and stock options to purchase up to 26,963,150 shares as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. There were 2,002,616 additional shares remaining available for grant under the Plans at June 30, 2011.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.5 million.

The fair value of stock option awards granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the period.

Expected life (in years)

     4.0        4.0   

The Company considered the retirement and forfeiture provisions of the options and utilized its historical experience to estimate the expected life of the options.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant. The Company estimates the volatility of the share price of the Company’s common stock by considering the historical volatility of the stock of similar public entities. In determining the appropriateness of the public entities included in the volatility assumption the Company considered a number of factors, including the entity’s life cycle stage, size, financial leverage, and products offered.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for options outstanding was 6.97 and 7.25 years as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the vesting of the shares granted in 2010 were contingent on the sale of the Company or a public offering of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain other conditions. The vesting of the shares granted in 2011 and 2010 are generally based on the passage of time, performance or market conditions. Shares vesting based on the passage of time have vesting provisions ranging from one to six years.

The fair value of restricted stock shares based on market conditions was estimated using the Monte Carlo option pricing model with the following assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

(a) The Company entered into a $300 million term loan and a $600 million revolving line of credit on June 22, 2011. The revolving line of credit contains a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and a sublimit for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Sterling and Japanese Yen. Proceeds from this new credit facility were used to retire the Company’s indebtedness under its 2005 Credit Facility and CCS Credit Facility, as described below. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $300 million and $0 borrowings outstanding on the term loan and revolving line of credit, respectively. Interest on the line of credit ranges from the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.25% to 1.25% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments and is due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due in June 2016. We refer to this facility as the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2011.

(b) The Company entered into a $130 million term loan and a $30 million revolving line of credit on June 2, 2005. On April 30, 2007, the Company amended and restated the facility increasing the term loan to $250 million, increasing the revolving line of credit facility to $50 million and entering into a $50 million delayed draw term loan facility. We refer to this facility as the 2005 Credit Facility. In April 2008, the Company borrowed the additional $50 million from the delayed draw term loan facility. The revolving line of credit facility was comprised of a $30 million US tranche and a $20 million global tranche and was collateralized by the assets and operations of the respective country where the borrowings are incurred. Interest on the term loan was payable at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.25% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.25%. Interest on the line of credit ranged from the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.00% to 1.50% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.00% to 2.50%. The term loan was payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the loans and was due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due in April 2013. On June 22, 2011, proceeds from the Company’s new Credit Facility were used to retire the Company’s existing indebtedness under the 2005 Credit Facility. Principal payments of $270.4 million were made on the term loan during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, which includes the final payment to retire the indebtedness.
(c) On December 7, 2006, one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries entered into foreign term loans in the Czech Republic denominated in Czech Koruna. The Facility A term loan was for CZK 990 million ($58.9 million) and the Facility B term loan was for CZK 685 million ($40.8 million). We refer to this facility as the CCS Credit Facility. Interest on the Facility A term loan was payable at a rate per annum equal to the sum of PRIBOR (Prague Interbank Offered Rate) plus 1.75% to 0.95%. Interest on the Facility B term loan was payable at a rate per annum equal to the sum of PRIBOR plus 2.9% to 2%. The Facility A term loan was payable in semiannual payments in June and December of each year beginning in June 2007 and ending in December 2013. The Facility B term loan was payable in a lump sum in December 2014. On June 22, 2011, proceeds from the Company’s new Credit Facility were used to retire the Company’s existing indebtedness under the CCS Credit Facility. Principal payments of $59.7 million were made on the term loan during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, which includes the final payment to retire the indebtedness.
(d) The Company is party to a receivables purchase agreement (securitization facility) that was amended and restated for the fourth time as of October 29, 2007 and which has been amended five times since then to add or remove purchasers, extend the facility termination date and remove all financial covenants. The current purchase limit under the securitization facility is $500 million and the facility termination date is February 23, 2012. There is a program fee equal to the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.26%, plus 0.90% as of June 30, 2011. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.50% per annum as of June 30, 2011. The securitization facility provides for certain termination events, which includes nonpayment, upon the occurrence of which the administrator may declare the facility termination date to have occurred, may exercise certain enforcement rights with respect to the receivables, and may appoint a successor servicer, among other things.

In November 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $175 million, which matured in November 2010. The agreement converted a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt exposure to a fixed rate.

In June 2011, the Company wrote-off $1.7 million and $1.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the extinguishment of the 2005 Facility and CCS Credit Facility, respectively. Additionally, the Company has deferred debt issuance costs associated with its new Credit Facility of $7.2 million, which is classified in Other Assets within the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.

8. Earnings Per Share

The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, where applicable. All common share and per common share amounts below have been adjusted to reflect the impact of a two and one-half-for-one Common Stock split on November 29, 2010.

9. Segments

The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in two reportable segments, North America and International. The Company has identified these segments due to commonality of the products in each of their business lines having similar economic characteristics, services, customers and processes. There were no significant inter-segment sales.

Overview

FleetCor is a leading independent global provider of specialized payment products and services to businesses, commercial fleets, major oil companies, petroleum marketers and government entities in 18 countries in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Our payment programs enable our customers to better manage and control employee spending and provide card-accepting merchants with a high volume customer base that can increase their sales and customer loyalty. We believe that our size and scale, geographic reach, advanced technology and our expansive suite of products, services, brands and proprietary networks contribute to our leading industry position.

We provide our payment products and services in a variety of combinations to create customized payment solutions for our customers and partners. We sell these products and services directly and indirectly through partners with whom we have strategic relationships, such as major oil companies and petroleum marketers. We refer to these major oil companies and petroleum marketers as our “partners.” We provide our customers with various card products that typically function like a charge card to purchase fuel, lodging and related products and services at participating locations. Our payment programs enable businesses to better manage and control employee spending and provide card-accepting merchants with a high volume customer base that can increase their sales and customer loyalty.

In order to deliver our payment programs and services and process transactions, we own and operate six proprietary “closed-loop” networks through which we electronically connect to merchants and capture, analyze and report customized information. We also use third-party networks to deliver our payment programs and services in order to broaden our card acceptance and use. To support our payment products, we also provide a range of services, such as issuing and processing, as well as specialized information services that provide our customers with value-added functionality and data. Our customers can use this data to track important business productivity metrics, combat fraud and employee misuse, streamline expense administration and lower overall fleet operating costs.

Our segments, sources of revenue and expenses

Segments

We operate in two reportable segments, which we refer to as our North American and International segments. Our revenue is reported net of the wholesale cost for underlying products and services. In this report, we refer to this net revenue as “revenue.” For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our North American and International segments generated the following revenue:

Sources of Revenue

Transactions In both of our segments, we derive revenue from transactions and the related revenue per transaction. As illustrated in the diagram below, a transaction is defined as a purchase by a customer. Our customers include holders of our card products and those of our partners, for whom we manage card programs. Revenue from transactions is derived from our merchant and network relationships, as well as our customers and partners. Through our merchant and network relationships we primarily offer fuel, vehicle maintenance or lodging services to our customers. We also earn revenue from our customers and partners through program fees and charges. The following diagram illustrates a typical transaction flow.

Illustrative Transaction Flow

LOGO

From our merchant and network relationships, we derive revenue from the difference between the price charged to a customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant or network for the same transaction. As illustrated in the table below, the price paid to a merchant or network may be calculated as (i) the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel plus a markup; (ii) the transaction purchase price less a percentage discount; or (iii) the transaction purchase price less a fixed fee per unit. The difference between the price we pay to a merchant and the merchant’s wholesale cost for the underlying products and services is considered a “merchant commission” and is recognized as an expense. Approximately 48.7% and 47.6% of our revenue was derived from our merchant and network relationships during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

From our customers and partners, we derive revenue from a variety of program fees such as transaction fees, card fees, network fees and report fees. Our payment programs include other fees and charges associated with late payments and based on customer credit risk. Approximately 51.3% and 52.4% of our revenue was derived from customer and partner program fees and charges during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Calculation of revenue per transaction for our International segment and on a consolidated basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 excludes the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, inherited from an acquisition, which we chose not to renew. This non-renewed contract contributed approximately 1.6 million transactions and $0.3 million in revenues, net to our International segment in the three months ended June 30, 2010; and approximately 3.3 million transactions and $0.6 million in revenues, net to our International segment in the six months ended June 30, 2010. This contract had a high number of transactions and very little revenue and had a $0.40 and $0.41 negative impact on our International segment revenues, net per transaction in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. We believe that excluding the impact of this contract is a more effective measure for evaluating the Company’s revenue performance of its continuing business. Revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe for our International segment and on a consolidated basis are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of performance. See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, total transactions increased from 49.0 million to 50.3 million, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, an increase of 1.3 million, or 2.7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, total transactions increased from 94.6 million to 97.8 million, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, an increase of 3.2 million, or 3.3%. We experienced an increase in transactions in our North American and International segments, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, primarily due to organic growth in certain of our payment programs. The non-renewed partner contract had a high number of transactions and very little revenue.

Revenue per transaction is derived from the various revenue types as discussed above and can vary based on geography, the relevant merchant relationship, the payment product utilized and the types of products or services purchased, the mix of which would be influenced by our acquisitions, organic growth in our business, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenue per transaction per customer increases as the level of services we provide to a customer increases.

Our consolidated revenue per transaction increased from $2.27 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.67 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, an increase of $0.40 per transaction or 17.6%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010 and higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2011 relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue per transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Our consolidated revenue per transaction increased from $2.27 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.51 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe, an increase of $0.24 per transaction or 10.6%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010 and higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue per transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Revenue per transaction in the International segment runs higher than the North America segment primarily due to higher margins and higher fuel prices in our international product lines.

North American segment revenue per transaction increased from $2.00 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.40 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.40 per transaction or 20.0%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our North American segment revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs; and

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010 and higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel.

North American segment revenue per transaction increased from $1.98 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.20 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.22 per transaction or 11.1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our North American segment revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs; and

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010, which was partially offset by lower spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel increasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel.

International segment revenue per transaction increased from $3.21 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.53 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.32 per transaction or 10.0%, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our International segment revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010 and higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to three months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue per transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

International segment revenue per transaction increased from $3.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.51 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.26 per transaction or 8.0%, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract in Europe. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our International segment revenue per transaction was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs;

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to six months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue per transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Factors and trends impacting our business

We believe that the following factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance:

 

 

Fuel prices Our fleet customers use our products and services primarily in connection with the purchase of fuel. Accordingly, our revenue is affected by fuel prices, which are subject to significant volatility. A change in retail fuel prices could cause a decrease or increase in our revenue from several sources, including fees paid to us based on a percentage of each customer’s total purchase. We believe that approximately 25.1% and 18.2% of our consolidated revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 23.7% and 17.7% of our consolidated revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was directly influenced by the absolute price of fuel. Changes in the absolute price of fuel may also impact unpaid account balances and the late fees and charges based on these amounts.

 

 

Fuel-price spread volatility A portion of our revenue involves transactions where we derive revenue from fuel-price spreads, which is the difference between the price charged to a fleet customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant for the same transaction. In these transactions, the price paid to the merchant is based on the wholesale cost of fuel. The merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel is dependent on several factors including, among others, the factors described above affecting fuel prices. The fuel price that we charge to our customer is dependent on several factors including, among others, the fuel price paid to the merchant, posted retail fuel prices and competitive fuel prices. We experience fuel-price spread contraction when the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel increases at a faster rate than the fuel price we charge to our customers, or the fuel price we charge to our customers decreases at a faster rate than the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel. Approximately 23.2% and 16.5% of our consolidated revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 21.7% and 16.0% of our consolidated revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was derived from transactions where our revenue is tied to fuel-price spreads.

 

 

Acquisitions – Since 2002, we have completed over 40 acquisitions of companies and commercial account portfolios. Acquisitions have been an important part of our growth strategy, and it is our intention to continue to seek opportunities to increase our customer base and diversify our service offering through further strategic acquisitions. The impact of acquisitions has, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations and may make it difficult to compare our results between periods.

 

 

Interest rates – Our results of operations are affected by interest rates. We are exposed to market risk changes in interest rates on our cash investments and debt.

 

 

Global economic environment – Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, both in North America and internationally. Factors affected by the economy include our transaction volumes and the credit risk of our customers. These factors affected our businesses in both our North American and International segments.

 

 

Foreign currency changes – Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign currency rates; namely, by movements of the British pound, the Czech koruna, the Russian ruble, the Canadian dollar and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Approximately 69.0% and 68.1% of our revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 66.8% and 66.9% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was derived in U.S. dollars and was not affected by foreign currency exchange rates.

 

 

Expenses In connection with being a public company and complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we expect our general and administrative expense to increase and then remain relatively constant or increase slightly as a percentage of revenue. Over the long term, we expect that our general and administrative expense will decrease as a percentage of revenue as our revenue increases. To support our expected revenue growth, we plan to continue to incur additional sales and marketing expense by investing in our direct marketing, third-party agents, internet marketing, telemarketing and field sales force.

Accounts receivable securitization

We utilize an accounts receivable securitization facility (Facility) in the ordinary course of our business to finance a portion of our accounts receivable. Prior to 2010, activity associated with our Facility was recorded off-balance sheet utilizing a qualified special-purpose entity, or QSPE, in the form of a limited liability company. The QSPE raised funds by issuing debt to third-party investors. The QSPE held trade accounts receivable whose cash flows are the primary source of repayment for the liabilities of the QSPE. Investors only had recourse to the assets held by the QSPE. Our involvement in these arrangements takes the form of originating accounts receivable and providing servicing activities.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance limiting the circumstances in which a financial asset may be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset or has continuing involvement with the transferred asset. The concept of a QSPE entity, which had previously facilitated sale accounting for certain asset transfers, is removed by this standard. This guidance

Table of Contents

was effective for us as of January 1, 2010. As a result of the adoption of such guidance, effective January 1, 2010, we consolidated the QSPE and the securitization of accounts receivable related to the QSPE is accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. Accordingly, we record accounts receivable and short-term debt related to the securitization facilities as assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. In addition, our statements of income no longer include securitization activities in revenue. Rather, we report provision for bad debts and interest expense associated with the debt securities issued related to the securitization.

As a result of the implementation of this guidance effective January 1, 2010, we recorded a $218.0 million increase in accounts receivable and a $218.0 million increase in current liabilities.

Revenue

Our consolidated revenue increased from $111.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $134.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $22.8 million, or 20.4%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs of approximately $5.3 million or 4.8%;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010;

 

 

higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in an increase in consolidated revenue of approximately $3.8 million; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2011, relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2011 by $4.5 million or 2.7%.

North American segment revenue

North American revenue increased from $76.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $92.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $16.8 million, or 22.1%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our North American segment revenue was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs of approximately $7.8 million or 10.2%;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010; and

 

 

higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in an increase in consolidated revenue of approximately $1.9 million.

International segment revenue

International segment revenue increased from $35.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $41.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $6.0 million, or 16.9%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our International segment revenue was impacted by:

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010;

 

 

higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in an increase in consolidated revenue of approximately $1.9 million; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2011, relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2011 by $4.5 million or 12.7%.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commission Merchant commissions increased from $14.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $14.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4.4%. This increase was due primarily to the expansion of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel and the impact of higher fuel prices, which impacted merchant commissions, offset by lower volume in those revenue streams where merchant commission are paid.

Processing Processing expenses increased from $17.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $19.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.5 million, or 14.2%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our processing expenses increased by $1.8 million due to volume increases and a card conversion project in certain of our payment programs and $1.9 million due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Selling Selling expenses increased from $7.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $9.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.3 million, or 17.4%. The increase was due primarily to additional sales and marketing spending in certain markets.

General and administrative General and administrative expense increased from $13.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $22.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $8.7 million, or 65.0%. The increase was primarily due to additional non-cash stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the period.

Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization increased from $8.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $8.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of 2010, which resulted in an increase of $0.3 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets for customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements and software, as well as acquired fixed assets.

Operating income and operating margin

Consolidated operating income

Operating income increased from $50.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $59.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $9.3 million, or 18.5%. Our operating margin was 45.4% and 44.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The increase in operating income from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due primarily to organic growth in the business, the impact of higher fuel prices, higher fuel spread revenues and the positive impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by additional stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the period, which had a negative impact on operating margin.

Table of Contents

For the purpose of segment operations, we calculate segment operating income by subtracting segment operating expenses from segment revenue. Similarly, segment operating margin is calculated by dividing segment operating income by segment revenue.

North American segment operating income

North American operating income increased from $32.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $40.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $7.5 million, or 22.8%. North American operating margin was 43.3% and 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Operating income from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased primarily due to organic growth in the business, the impact of higher fuel prices and higher fuel spread revenues. This increase in operating income was partially offset by the increase in expenses due to additional stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, which had a negative impact on operating margin.

International segment operating income

International operating income increased from $17.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $19.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.8 million, or 10.4%. International operating margin was 49.8% and 47.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The increase in operating income from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due primarily to higher retail fuel prices, higher fuel spread revenues, the positive impact of foreign exchange rates and a reduction in allocation of corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2010. These increases were partially offset by additional stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and additional amortization related to acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of 2010, which had a negative impact on operating margin.

Other income, net

Other income, net decreased from income of $0.12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to income of $0.06 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.06 million. The decrease was due primarily to less foreign currency exchange gains recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net reflects the amount of interest paid on our 2005 Credit Facility, CCS Credit Facility and new Credit Facility, offset by interest income. Interest expense decreased from $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 37.6%. This decrease was primarily due to the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement, which matured in November 2010 that created interest expense of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The remaining decrease is due to the decline in interest rates on our credit facilities. The average interest rate (including the effect of interest rate derivatives) on the 2005 Credit Facility was 2.25% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus 2.57% in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average interest rate on the CCS Credit Facility was 2.65% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus 2.76% in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased from zero in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase is due to the write-off of $1.7 million and $1.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the early extinguishment of the 2005 Facility and CCS Credit Facility, respectively, upon retirement of these credit facilities with the proceeds from our new Credit Facility signed on June 22, 2011.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased from $15.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $17.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.6 million, or 10.4%. We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on an estimate of our effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in the estimate of the annual tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 31.8 % as compared to 34.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate for income taxes between June 30, 2011 and 2010 was primarily due to an unfavorable impact on the prior year rate from the controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) look-through exclusion, which expired on December 31, 2009, and was not extended until December 2010. For periods in which the look-through rules were effective, it generally resulted in excluding from U.S. federal income tax certain dividends, interest, rents and royalties received or accrued by one CFC of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC.

We pay taxes in many different taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., most U.S. states and many non-U.S. jurisdictions. The tax rates in certain non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions are lower than the U.S. tax rate. Consequently, as our earnings fluctuate between taxing jurisdictions our effective tax rate fluctuates.

Revenue

Our consolidated revenue increased from $215.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $245.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $29.6 million, or 13.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs of approximately $12.6 million or 5.8%;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010;

 

 

higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in an increase in consolidated revenue of approximately $0.3 million; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2011, relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2011 by $5.8 million or 2.7%.

North American segment revenue

North American revenue increased from $144.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $164.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $19.8 million, or 13.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our North American segment revenue was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs of approximately $12.3 million or 8.5%; and

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010.

 

23


Table of Contents

These increases were offset by lower spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel increasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in a decrease in North American segment revenue of $0.7 million.

International segment revenue

International segment revenue increased from $71.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $80.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $9.8 million, or 13.8%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our International segment revenue was impacted by:

 

 

organic growth in certain of our payment programs of approximately $0.2 million or 0.3%;

 

 

higher average retail fuel prices as compared to the same period in 2010; and

 

 

higher spread revenue due to the wholesale cost of fuel decreasing at a faster rate than the retail price of fuel, resulting in an increase in consolidated revenue of approximately $1.0 million; and

 

 

the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2011, relative to other foreign currencies, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange rates as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, which increased our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2011 by $5.8 million or 8.2%.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commission Merchant commissions decreased from $25.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $23.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 10.4%. This decrease was due primarily to the fluctuation of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel and the impact of higher fuel prices, which impacted merchant commissions, as well as lower volume in those revenue streams where merchant commission are paid.

Processing Processing expenses increased from $34.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $37.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.9 million, or 8.2%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our processing expenses increased by $3.3 million due to volume increases and a card conversion project in certain of our payment programs and $2.1 million due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million for bad debt due to a lower percentage of uncollectible accounts.

Selling Selling expenses increased from $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.3 million, or 15.7%. The increase was due primarily to additional sales and marketing spending in certain markets.

General and administrative General and administrative expense increased from $26.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $40.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $13.5 million, or 51.1%. The increase was primarily due to additional non-cash stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the period.

Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization increased from $16.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $17.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.9 million, or 5.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of 2010, which resulted in an increase of $0.7 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets for customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements and software, as well as acquired fixed assets.

Operating income and operating margin

Consolidated operating income

Operating income increased from $97.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $110.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $12.7 million, or 13.0%. Our operating margin was 45.3% and 45.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The increase in operating income from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due primarily to organic growth in the business, the impact of higher fuel prices and the positive impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by additional stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the period, which had a negative impact on operating margin.

For the purpose of segment operations, we calculate segment operating income by subtracting segment operating expenses from segment revenue. Similarly, segment operating margin is calculated by dividing segment operating income by segment revenue.

North American segment operating income

North American operating income increased from $64.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $72.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $7.9 million, or 12.3%. North American operating margin was 44.3% and 43.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The increase in operating income from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to

Table of Contents

the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due primarily to organic growth in the business and the impact of higher fuel prices. These increases were partially offset by additional stock compensation expense related to our stock incentive plans and public company costs during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, which had a negative impact on operating margin.

International segment operating income

International operating income increased from $33.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $38.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $4.8 million, or 14.4%. International operating margin was 47.3% and 47.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The increase in operating income and margin from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due primarily to organic growth in the business, the impact of higher fuel prices and the positive impact of foreign exchange rates.

Other income, net

Other income, net increased from income of $0.07 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to income of $0.09 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.02 million. The additional income was due primarily to foreign currency exchange gains recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net reflects the amount of interest paid on our 2005 Credit Facility, CCS Credit Facility and new Credit Facility, offset by interest income. Interest expense decreased from $10.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 36.9%. This decrease was primarily due to the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement, which matured in November 2010 that created interest expense of $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The remaining decrease is due to the decline in interest rates on our credit facilities. The average interest rate (including the effect of interest rate derivatives) on the 2005 Credit Facility was 2.35% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus 2.53% in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average interest rate on the CCS Credit Facility was 2.66% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus 2.89% in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased from zero in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase is due to the write-off of $1.7 million and $1.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the early extinguishment of the 2005 Facility and CCS Credit Facility, respectively, upon retirement of these credit facilities with the proceeds from our new Credit Facility signed on June 22, 2011.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased from $29.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $31.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.0 million, or 6.6%. We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on an estimate of our effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in the estimate of the annual tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 31.6 % as compared to 34.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate for income taxes between June 30, 2011 and 2010 was primarily due to an unfavorable impact on the prior year rate from the CFC look-through exclusion, which expired on December 31, 2009, and was not extended until December 2010. For periods in which the look-through rules were effective, it generally resulted in excluding from U.S. federal income tax certain dividends, interest, rents and royalties received or accrued by one CFC of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC.

We pay taxes in many different taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., most U.S. states and many non-U.S. jurisdictions. The tax rates in certain non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions are lower than the U.S. tax rate. Consequently, as our earnings fluctuate between taxing jurisdictions our effective tax rate fluctuates.

Net income

For the reasons discussed above, our net income increased from $57.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $69.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $12.1 million, or 21.2%.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to service and repay our indebtedness, make acquisitions of businesses and commercial account portfolios and meet working capital, tax and capital expenditure needs.

Sources of liquidity

At June 30, 2011, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalent balance totaled $101.2 million. Our restricted cash balance at June 30, 2011 totaled $63.0 million. Restricted cash represents customer deposits in the Czech Republic, which we are restricted from using other than to repay customer deposits. At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries where we have determined we are permanently reinvested is $82.7 million.

All of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries, excluding restricted cash, are available for general corporate purposes. Our current intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. Our current expectation for funds held in our foreign subsidiaries is to use the funds to finance foreign organic growth, to pay for potential future foreign acquisitions and to repay any foreign borrowings that may arise from time to time. We currently believe that funds generated from our U.S. operations, along with potential borrowing capabilities in the U.S. will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operations for the foreseeable future, and therefore do not foresee a need to repatriate cash held by our foreign subsidiaries in a taxable transaction to fund our U.S. operations. However, if at a future date or time these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S. or we otherwise believe it is in the best interests of the Company to repatriate all or a portion of such funds, we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. No assurances can be provided as to the amount or timing thereof, the tax consequences related thereto or the ultimate impact any such action may have on our results of operations or financial condition.

We utilize an accounts receivable securitization facility to finance a majority of our domestic fuel card receivables, to lower our cost of funds and more efficiently use capital. We generate and record accounts receivable when a customer makes a purchase from a merchant using one of our card products and generally pay merchants within seven days of receiving the merchant billing. As a result, we utilize the asset securitization facility as a source of liquidity to provide the cash flow required to fund merchant payments prior to collecting customer balances. These balances are primarily composed of charge balances, which are typically billed to the customer on a weekly, semimonthly or monthly basis, and are generally required to be paid within 14 days of billing. We also consider the undrawn amounts under our securitization facility and 2005 Credit Facility as funds available for working capital purposes and acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, we had the ability to generate approximately $178.1 million of additional liquidity under our securitization facility and had $600.0 million available under the new Credit Facility.

Based on our current forecasts and anticipated market conditions, we believe that our current cash balances, our available borrowing capacity and our ability to generate cash from operations, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months, absent any major acquisition opportunities that might arise. However, we regularly evaluate our cash requirements for current operations, commitments, capital requirements and acquisitions, and we may elect to raise additional funds for these purposes in the future, either through the issuance of debt or equity securities. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Cash flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

     Six months ended June 30,  
(in millions)    2011     2010

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in financing activities

     (18.7     (43.5

Operating activities Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.5 million compared to $52.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is attributable primarily to an increase in working capital, driven mainly by the increase in accounts receivable of approximately $89.7 million. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by higher net income of $12.1 million and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer deposits of $26.9 million primarily from the increased volume of purchases in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the volume of purchases in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the timing of vendor payments.

Investing activities Net cash used in investing activities for six months ended June 30, 2011 was $6.7 million compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in cash used for acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in capital spending in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Financing activities Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $18.7 million compared to $43.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in cash used in financing activities is attributable primarily to additional borrowings on the securitization facility of $18.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to payments on the securitization facility of $26.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in additional cash provided by financing activities of $44.0 million. In addition, on June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a new five-year, $900 million Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, which provided additional cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $300.0 million over the same period in 2010. Proceeds from this new Credit Facility were used to retire the Company’s indebtedness under

our 2005 Credit Facility and CCS Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 we made aggregate principal payments on the 2005 Credit Facility and CCS Credit Facility of $330.1 million and seller financing payments of $1.4 million, compared to aggregate principal payments of $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in an increase in the cash used in financing activities of $314.6 million We did not make any principal payments on the new Credit Facility in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Capital spending summary

Our capital expenditures were $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2010. We anticipate our capital expenditures to increase to approximately $10.0 million for 2011 as compared to $11.2 million in 2010, as we continue to enhance our existing processing systems.

Credit Facility

On June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a new five-year, $900 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million term loan facility and a $600 million revolving credit facility, with sublimits for letters of credit, swing line loans and multicurrency borrowings. Subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments of lenders, we have the option to increase the facility up to an additional $150 million. The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this nature. These covenants include limitations on our ability to pay dividends and make other restricted payments under certain circumstances and compliance with certain financial ratios.

Proceeds from this new Credit Facility were used to retire our existing indebtedness under our 2005 Credit Facility and CCS Credit Facility. Proceeds from this new Credit Facility may also be used for working capital purposes, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.

Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement accrues based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (the Eurocurrency Rate), plus a margin based on a leverage ratio, or at the option of the Company, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, we have agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. As of June 30, 2011, the interest rate on the term loan was 1.94% and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was zero, as there were no borrowings on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2011.

The stated maturity date for our term loan and revolving loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement is June 22, 2016. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments and are due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due on June 22, 2016. There were no principal payments made on the term loan during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

2005 Credit Facility

We were a party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005, which was subsequently amended and restated on April 30, 2007, with a syndicate of banks. The 2005 Credit Facility provided for term loans in the amount of $250.0 million and two tranches of multicurrency revolving loans, each of which revolving loans were available to be made in U.S. dollars, British pounds or Euros; a U.S. tranche for the U.S. borrower of up to $30.0 million (with a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit), and a global tranche for both the U.S. borrower and U.K. borrower of up to $20.0 million. The 2005 Credit Facility also included a $10.0 million swing line facility which was available to the U.S. borrower. The credit agreement also provided for delayed draw term loans in the amount of up to $50.0 million, of which $50.0 million was borrowed in April 2008. The 2005 Credit Facility further provided for incremental term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million. None of the incremental term loans were made.

Interest on the facilities accrued, at our election, based on a base rate, EURIBOR or LIBOR, plus a margin. The margin with respect to term loans was fixed at 2.25% for LIBOR and EURIBOR loans and at 1.25% for base rate loans. With respect to revolving loans and letter of credit fees, the margin or fee was determined based on our leverage ratio and ranged from 2.00% to 2.50% for LIBOR and EURIBOR loans and from 1.00% to 1.50% for base rate loans. Interest on overdue amounts accrued at a rate equal to the applicable interest rate plus 2% per annum.

The stated maturity date for our term loans was April 30, 2013 and the stated maturity date for our revolving loans and letters of credit was April 30, 2012. The term loans were payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the loans and were due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due in April 2013. Principal payments of $270.4 million were made on the term loan during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

On June 22, 2011, we retired our indebtedness under the 2005 Credit Facility with the proceeds from our new Credit Facility. The 2005 Credit Facility contained certain negative covenants and financial covenants. As of the date of retirement of this indebtedness, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the 2005 Credit Facility.

CCS Credit Facility

Certain of our subsidiaries were parties to a credit agreement, dated as of December 7, 2006, which was amended as of March 28, 2008, with a syndicate of banks. The CCS Credit Facility agreement provided for term loans in the total amount of CZK 1.675 billion ($99.7 million), which consisted of a “Facility A” amortized term loan in the amount of CZK 990 million ($58.9 million) and a “Facility B” bullet term loan in the amount of CZK 685.0 million ($40.8 million).

Interest on the term loans accrued, calculated according to the term selected by CCS, based on a base rate, PRIBOR (Prague Interbank Offered Rate), plus a margin and a mandatory cost. The margin was determined based on CCS’s leverage ratio and ranged from 0.95% to 1.75% for the “Facility A” term loan and from 2.00% to 2.90% for the “Facility B” term loan.

The stated maturity date for CCS’s term loans was December 21, 2013 with respect to “Facility A” and December 21, 2014 with respect to “Facility B”. The “Facility A” term loan was payable in semiannual payments in June and December of each year ending in December 2013 and the “Facility B” term loan was payable in one lump sum on December 21, 2014. Principal payments of $59.7 million were made on these facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2011. CCS had the right to prepay the loans without premium or penalty on the last day of an interest period.

On June 22, 2011, we retired our indebtedness under the CCS Credit Facility with the proceeds from our new Credit Facility. The CCS Credit Facility contained certain negative covenants and financial covenants. As of the date of retirement of this indebtedness, CCS was in compliance with each of the covenants under the CCS Credit Facility agreement.

Seller financing

One of our subsidiaries, FleetCor Luxembourg Holding2 S.à r.l. (“Lux 2”), entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 24, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ICP Internet Cash Payments B.V. for the purchase of ICP International Card Products B.V. The acquired business is now being operated in the Netherlands as FleetCor Technologieën B.V. In connection with the purchase Lux 2 agreed to make deferred payments in the aggregate amount of €1.0 million ($1.4 million), of which the final payment was made on June 6, 2011 in the amount of €0.33 million ($0.47 million).

In connection with an acquisition by FleetCor Luxembourg Holding4 S.à r.l. in October 2010, the parties agreed to defer our payment of a portion of the purchase price, equal to approximately $1.0 million, which was paid in February 2011.

Securitization Facility

We are a party to a receivables purchase agreement among FleetCor Funding LLC, as seller, PNC Bank, National Association as administrator, and the various purchaser agents, conduit purchasers and related committed purchasers parties thereto, which was amended and restated for the fourth time as of October 29, 2007 and which has been amended five times since then to add or remove purchasers, extend the facility termination date and remove financial covenants. We refer to this arrangement as the Securitization Facility in this report. The current purchase limit under the securitization facility is $500.0 million. The facility was amended on February 24, 2011 and the facility termination date is now February 23, 2012. On June 22, 2011, concurrently with the signing of the Credit Agreement, FleetCor Funding LLC entered into a fifth amendment to the fourth amended and restated receivables purchase agreement. The amendment to the Securitization Facility revised certain definitions, removed the compliance certification reporting requirement, and removed financial covenant requirements.

Under a related purchase and sale agreement, dated as of December 20, 2004, and most recently amended on July 7, 2008, between FleetCor Funding LLC, as purchaser, and certain of our subsidiaries, as originators, the receivables generated by the originators are deemed to be sold to FleetCor Funding LLC immediately and without further action upon creation of such receivables. At the request of FleetCor Funding LLC, as seller, undivided percentage ownership interests in the receivables are ratably purchased by the purchasers in amounts not to exceed their respective commitments under the facility. Collections on receivables are required to be made pursuant to a written credit and collection policy and may be reinvested in other receivables, may be held in trust for the purchasers, or may be distributed. Fees are paid to each purchaser agent for the benefit of the purchasers and liquidity providers in the related purchaser group in accordance with the securitization facility and certain fee letter agreements.

The securitization facility provides for certain termination events, upon the occurrence of which the administrator may declare the facility termination date to have occurred, may exercise certain enforcement rights with respect to the receivables, and may appoint a successor servicer, among other things. Termination events include nonpayment. There are no financial covenant requirements related to our securitization facility.

Contractual Obligations

The operating lease commitments, seller financing note commitments and Securitization Facility commitments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2010 have not changed significantly. As discussed above, on June 22, 2011, we retired our 2005 Credit Facility and CCS Credit Facility and entered into our new Credit Facility.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

In applying the accounting policies that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, we necessarily make accounting estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Some of these estimates require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimates. We base these assumptions and the resulting estimates on historical information and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. In many instances, however, we reasonably could have used different accounting estimates and, in other instances, changes in our accounting estimates could occur from period to period, with the result in each case being a material change in the financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations. We refer to estimates of this type as critical accounting estimates.

Accounting estimates necessarily require subjective determinations about future events and conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we have not adopted any new critical accounting policies that had a significant impact upon our consolidated financial statements, have not changed any critical accounting policies and have not changed the application of any critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2010. You should read the Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of our notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included in the discussion under the caption “Transaction volume and revenue per transaction” above a financial measure that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measure, provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors.

Revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed partner contract

We have defined the non-GAAP measure revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed contract, as revenues, net as reflected in our income statement and segment footnote less the revenues, net provided by the non-renewed partner in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as applicable.

Our management uses revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed contract, along with other factors, to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed contract is an appropriate supplemental measure of financial performance and may be useful to investors because it provides a more complete understanding of our revenue performance of continuing business. Revenues, net, excluding the impact of a non-renewed contract is not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results, in contrast with statements that reflect historical facts. In some cases, we have identified such forward-looking statements with typical conditional words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project” or “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to many uncertainties and other variable circumstances, such as delays or failures associated with implementation; fuel price and spread volatility; changes in credit risk of customers and associated losses; the actions of regulators relating to payment cards; failure to maintain or renew key business relationships; failure to maintain competitive offerings; failure to maintain or renew sources of financing; failure to complete, or delays in completing, anticipated new partnership arrangements or acquisitions and the failure to successfully integrate or otherwise achieve anticipated benefits from such partnerships or acquired businesses; failure to successfully expand business internationally; the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations, revenue and income; the effects of general economic conditions on fueling patterns and the commercial activity of fleets, as well as the other risks and uncertainties identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any legal proceedings or governmental inquiries or investigations that we consider to be material and were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the second quarter of 2011. We are and may become, however, subject to lawsuits from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently involved in an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in the United Kingdom, relating to our Keyfuels product line. This product line consists of our proprietary payment card and associated site network in the United Kingdom. A competitor alleged we are dominant in a relevant market with our Keyfuels product line. The Office of Fair Trading is investigating whether we are dominant and, if dominant, whether some of our contracts with some sites and dealers would constitute exclusive dealings requiring them to be reformed to eliminate exclusivity. The Office of Fair Trading has issued a statement of objections, which we are responding to. Although we do not currently anticipate an adverse result or material adverse impact from the investigation, if determined adversely, the regulator has authority to require us to reform contracts to eliminate exclusivity and impose significant fines.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December  31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
