FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

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, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

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 year ended December 31, 2013.

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 realized foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $282,148 and $19,961 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $248,537 and $125,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Equity Method Investment

The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company does not control the investee, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and finance policies. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, with the allocable portion of the investee’s income or loss reported in earnings, and adjusted for capital contributions to and distributions from the investee. Distributions in excess of equity method earnings, if any, are recognized as a return of investment and recorded as investing cash flows in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company reviews its equity investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company‘s investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Foreign Currency

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated) or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Unrecognized Tax Benefit When an NOL Exists

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, which indicates that to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606.

2. Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains a $500 million revolving trade accounts receivable Securitization Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization 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.

The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of financing, to reduce 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.

On February 3, 2014, the Company extended the term of its asset securitization facility to February 2, 2015. The Company capitalized $0.5 million in deferred financing fees in connection with this extension.

The Company’s accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable include the following at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

3. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis. These are each level 2 fair value measurements, except for cash, which is a level 1 fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

The Company’s nonfinancial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, equity method investment, goodwill and other intangible assets. As necessary, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as appropriate, 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 are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s annual impairment assessments and as impairment indicators are identified.

Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP 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 for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

We have highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We utilize Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.

The Company estimates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration using various valuation approaches including the Monte Carlo Simulation approach and the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities because the Company uses unobservable inputs to value them, reflecting the Company’s assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. Changes in the fair value of acquisition related contingent consideration are recorded as (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair values on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).

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. The vesting of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted is 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 four years.

The fair value of restricted stock granted based on market conditions was estimated using the Monte Carlo option pricing model at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate and volatility assumptions for restricted stock shares granted with market conditions were calculated consistently with those applied in the Black-Scholes options pricing model utilized in determining the fair value of the stock option awards. No such awards were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

5. Acquisition

2014 Acquisitions

During 2014, the Company has made payments related to acquisitions in aggregate of $166.7 million. During 2014, the Company has made deferred payments of purchase price related to 2013 acquisitions of $23.2 million.

On April 28, 2014, the Company completed an equity method investment in Masternaut Group Holdings Limited (“Masternaut”), Europe’s largest provider of telematics solutions to commercial fleets, included in “Equity method investment” in its unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company owns 44% of the outstanding equity of Masternaut.

2013 Acquisitions

During 2013, the Company completed acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $849.2 million, net of cash acquired of $35.6 million, including deferred payments of $36.8 million and the estimated fair value of contingent earn out payments of $83.8 million.

For certain acquisitions in 2013, the consideration transferred includes contingent consideration based on achieving specific financial metrics in future periods. The contingent consideration agreements (the “agreements”) require the Company to pay the respective prior owners if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and revenues grow at a specified rate over the most recent corresponding specified period, based on a sliding scale. The potential future payments that the Company could be required to make related to these contingent consideration agreements ranges from $76 to $90 million based on current operating results. The fair value of the arrangements included in the acquisition consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach and the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach and considered historic expenses, historic EBITDA and revenue growth and current projections for the respective acquired entities. The Company recorded $83.8 million of contingent consideration, which is payable in the second half of 2014 and first quarter of 2015. As the payments are due within one year of the date of acquisition, the Company did not apply a discount rate to the potential payments. Any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid or any changes in the fair value of such amounts would result in additional income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair values of the respective contingent earn out payments during the second quarter of 2014 were not material. Acquisition amounts are presented at the applicable acquisition date foreign exchange spot rate.

The Company’s purchase price allocation related to each of the entities acquired in 2013 is preliminary, except for that of FleetCard and CardLink, as the working capital adjustment periods remain open.

(a) The Company entered into a Credit Agreement on June 22, 2011. On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment added two United Kingdom entities as designated borrowers and added a $110 million foreign currency swing line of credit sub facility under the existing revolver, which allows for alternate currency borrowing on the swing line. On November 6, 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement to add an additional term loan of $250 million and increase the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $600 million to $850 million. In addition, we increased the accordion feature from $150 million to $250 million. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides for a $550 million term loan facility and an $850 million revolving credit facility. On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to extend the term of the facility for an additional five years from the amendment date, with a new maturity date of March 20, 2018, separated the revolver into two tranches (a $815 million Revolving A facility and a $35 million Revolving B facility), added additional designated borrowers with the ability to borrow in local currency and US Dollars under the Revolving B facility and removed a cap to allow for additional investments in certain business relationships. The revolving line of credit contains a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and sublimits for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Sterling, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars. On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to allow for a minority interest investment in an unrestricted subsidiary.

Interest ranges from the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.25% to 1.25% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the Facility. The term note 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 March 2018. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable at the option of one, two, three or nine months after borrowing. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after such loan is made. This facility is referred to as the Credit Facility. Principal payments of $13.8 million were made on the term loan during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This facility includes a revolving line of credit and foreign currency swing line of credit on which the Company borrowed funds during the periods presented.

 

(b) The Company is party to a $500 million receivables purchase agreement (Securitization Facility) that was amended for the tenth time on February 3, 2014 to extend the facility termination date to February 2, 2015, to change pricing and to return to prorata funding by the participating banks. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.17% plus 0.65% and 0.17% plus 0.675% as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.25% per annum as of June 30, 2014 and 0.30% per annum as of December 31, 2013. 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.
(c) In connection with the Company’s acquisition in New Zealand, the Company entered into a $12 million New Zealand dollar ($10.6 million) facility that is used for local working capital needs. This facility is a one year facility that currently matures on April 30, 2015. A line of credit charge of 0.025% times the facility limit is charged each month plus interest on outstanding borrowings is charged at the Bank Bill Mid-Market (BKBM) settlement rate plus a margin of 1.0%. The Company did not have an outstanding unpaid balance on this facility at June 30, 2014.
(d) Other debt includes other deferred liabilities associated with certain of our businesses.

The Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants at June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, other noncurrent liabilities included liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits of $21.4 million and $21.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company recognized additional liabilities of $0.9 million and $0.47 million, respectively, and reversed prior year liabilities of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the statute of limitations expiring. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounts recorded for accrued interest and penalties expense related to the unrecognized income tax benefits were not significant.

The Company files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns has expired for years prior to 2010. The statute of limitations for the Company’s U.K. income tax returns has expired for years prior to 2012. The statute of limitations has expired for years prior to 2010 for the Company’s Czech Republic income tax returns, 2010 for the Company’s Russian income tax returns, 2008 for the Company’s Mexican income tax returns, 2009 for the Company’s Brazilian income tax returns, 2008 for the Company’s Luxembourg income tax returns, 2009 for the Company’s New Zealand income tax returns, and 2013 for the Company’s Australian income tax returns.

9. Earnings Per Share

The Company reports 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 method.

10. 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. Certain operating segments are aggregated in both our North America and International reportable segments. The Company has aggregated these operating 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 intersegment sales.

The Company’s segment results are as follows as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30 (in thousands):

11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company has recorded reserves for certain legal proceedings. The amounts recorded are estimated and as additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimate in the period that information becomes known. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

As part of certain acquisitions in 2013, the purchase price includes provisions for contingent consideration based on achieving certain financial metrics in future periods. The contingent consideration agreements (the “agreements”) require the Company to pay the respective prior owners if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and revenues grow at a specified rate over the most recent corresponding specified period, based on a sliding scale. Any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid or any changes in the fair value of such amounts would result in additional income or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fluctuations due to changes in foreign exchange rates have been recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2014, contingent consideration for these acquisitions is $86.7 million, and is included in other current liabilities within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In connection with 2013 acquisitions, the Company recorded uncertain tax positions aggregating $15.5 million and contingent liabilities aggregating $53.7 million, at June 30, 2014. A portion of these acquired liabilities have been indemnified by the respective sellers. As a result, an indemnification asset of $56.2 million was recorded at June 30, 2014. The contingent liabilities represent our bet estimate of the probable outcome of the contingency. The estimates recorded for the contingent liabilities are subject to change based on our final evaluation of the information available at the acquisition date. Any changes to the contingent liability based on our final conclusion will be accompanied by a corresponding change to the indemnification asset.

General Business

FleetCor is a leading independent global provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products and services to businesses, commercial fleets, major oil companies, petroleum marketers and government entities in countries throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. 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 also provide a suite of fleet related and workforce payment solution products, including telematics services, fleet maintenance management and employee benefit and transportation related payments. In 2013, we processed approximately 328 million transactions on our proprietary networks and third-party networks. 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 collectively refer to our suite of product offerings as workforce productivity enhancement products for commercial businesses. We sell a range of customized fleet and lodging payment programs directly and indirectly to our customers through partners, such as major oil companies, hotels, leasing companies and petroleum marketers. We refer to these major oil companies, leasing companies and petroleum markets as “partners”. We provide our customers with various card products that typically function like a charge card or prepaid card to purchase fuel, lodging, food, toll, transportation and related products and services at participating locations.

In order to deliver our payment programs and services and process transactions, we own and operate 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 workforce and fleet operating costs.

Executive Overview

Segments

We operate in two segments, which we refer to as our North America 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.” See “Results of Operations” for additional segment information.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our North America and International segments generated the following revenue:

Sources of Revenue

Transactions. In both of our segments, we derive revenue from transactions. 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, members of our proprietary networks who are provided access to our products and services and commercial businesses to whom we provide workforce payment productivity solutions. 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, food, toll and transportation cards and vouchers or lodging services to our customers.

The following diagram illustrates a typical card transaction flow, but may also be applied to our vehicle maintenance, lodging and food, fuel, toll and transportation card and voucher products. This representative model may not include all of our businesses.

Illustrative Transaction Flow

 

LOGO

From our customers and partners, we derive revenue from a variety of program fees, including transaction fees, card fees, network fees and charges, which can be fixed fees, cost plus a mark-up or based on a percentage discount from retail prices. Our programs include other fees and charges associated with late payments and based on customer credit risk.

From our merchant and network relationships, we derive revenue mostly 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 well as network fees and charges in certain businesses. 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 the product 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 following table presents an illustrative revenue model for transactions with the merchant, which is primarily applicable to fuel based product transactions, but may also be applied to our vehicle maintenance, lodging and food, fuel, toll and transportation card and voucher products, substituting transactions for gallons. This representative model may not include all of our businesses.

1  Adjusted revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as revenues, net less merchant commissions. We believe this measure is a more effective way to evaluate our revenue performance. We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants to participate in our card programs. Adjusted revenues is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

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 the overall macroeconomic environment, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenue per transaction per customer changes as the level of services we provide to a customer increases or decreases, as macroeconomic factors changes and as adjustments are made to merchant and customer rates. When we discuss the macroeconomic environment, we are referring to the impact of market spread margins, fuel prices, foreign exchanges rates and the economy in general can have on our business. See “Results of Operations” for further discussion of transaction volumes and revenue per transaction.

Total transactions increased from 79.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 90.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 11.2 million or 14.3%. Total transactions increased from 153.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 177.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 24.3 million or 15.9%. We experienced an increase in transactions in our North America and International segments primarily due to the impact of the acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in certain payment programs.

In 2013, we acquired several businesses in our international segment; FleetCard in Australia, CardLink in New Zealand, VB Servicos (VB) and DB Trans S.A. (DB) in Brazil and Epyx in the U.K. Certain of these international acquisitions have higher revenue per transaction products in comparison to our other international businesses, which contributes to the increase in transaction volumes and revenue per transaction in our International segment in 2014 over 2013, in addition to organic growth.

We also acquired NexTraq in the U.S in 2013, which has a higher revenue per transaction in comparison to our other North American businesses. This added to higher transaction volumes and revenue per transaction in our North American segment in 2014 over 2013, in addition to organic growth.

Sources of Expenses

We incur expenses in the following categories:

 

    Merchant commissions—In certain of our card programs, we incur merchant commissions expense when we reimburse merchants with whom we have direct, contractual relationships for specific transactions where a customer purchases products or services from the merchant. In the card programs where it is paid, merchant commissions equal the difference between the price paid by us to the merchant and the merchant’s wholesale cost of the underlying products or services.

 

    Processing—Our processing expense consists of expenses related to processing transactions, servicing our customers and merchants, bad debt expense and cost of goods sold related to our hardware sales in certain businesses.

 

    Selling—Our selling expenses consist primarily of wages, benefits, sales commissions (other than merchant commissions) and related expenses for our sales, marketing and account management personnel and activities.

 

    General and administrative—Our general and administrative expenses include compensation and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for our executive, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal and other administrative personnel. Also included are facilities expenses, third-party professional services fees, travel and entertainment expenses, and other corporate-level expenses.

 

    Depreciation and amortization—Our depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation of property and equipment, consisting of computer hardware and software (including proprietary software development amortization expense), card-reading equipment, furniture, fixtures, vehicles and buildings and leasehold improvements related to office space. Our amortization expenses include intangible assets related to customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks and non-compete agreements. We are amortizing intangible assets related to business acquisitions and certain private label contracts associated with the purchase of accounts receivable.

 

    Other income, net—Other income, net includes foreign currency transaction gains or losses, proceeds/costs from the sale of assets and other miscellaneous operating costs and revenue.

 

    Interest expense, net—Interest expense, net includes interest income on our cash balances and interest expense on our outstanding debt and on our securitization facility. We have historically invested our cash primarily in short-term money market funds.

 

    Provision for income taxes—The provision for income taxes consists primarily of corporate income taxes related to profits resulting from the sale of our products and services in the United States and internationally. Our worldwide effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to lower rates in foreign jurisdictions and foreign-sourced non-taxable income.

Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share. Set forth below are adjusted revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and equity method investment (adjusted EBITDA), adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

     Three Months Ended June 30,      Six Months Ended June 30,  
     2014      2013      2014      2013  
(in thousands, except per share amounts)                            

Adjusted revenues

   $ 253,175       $ 201,314       $ 489,460       $ 381,104   

Adjusted EBITDA

   $ 158,913       $ 124,964       $ 297,467       $ 233,846   

Adjusted net income

   $ 108,890       $ 84,039       $ 204,989       $ 159,232   

Adjusted net income per diluted share

   $ 1.27       $ 1.00       $ 2.39       $ 1.89   

We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants that participate in certain of our card programs. The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate. Thus, we believe this is a more effective way to evaluate our revenue performance on a consistent basis. We use adjusted EBITDA, calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income and equity method investment to eliminate the impact of certain non-core items during the period. We use adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

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. Changes in the absolute price of fuel may also impact unpaid account balances and the late fees and charges based on these amounts. See “Sources of Revenue” above for further information related to the absolute price of fuel.

 

    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. See “Sources of Revenue” above for further information related to fuel-price spreads.

 

    Acquisitions—Since 2002, we have completed over 60 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 downturn—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 America and International segments.

 

    Foreign currency changes—Our results of operations are increasingly impacted by changes in foreign currency rates; namely, by movements of the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Euro, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar and Russian ruble, relative to the U.S. dollar. Approximately 51.0% and 54.0% of our revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 50.5% and 53.0% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was derived in U.S. dollars and was not affected by foreign currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information related to foreign currency impact on our total revenue, net.

 

    Expenses—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.

    The impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which contributed approximately $37 million in additional revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

Table of Contents
    Organic growth in certain of our payment programs driven primarily by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction.

 

    Included within organic growth, is the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013. The macroeconomic environment was primarily impacted by lower fuel spread margins, which were partially offset by the slightly favorable impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact on revenues of approximately $1.4 million, due primarily to favorable fluctuations in the British Pound, which was mostly offset by unfavorable fluctuations in the Russian Ruble and Brazilian Real, in the three months ended June 30, 2014 over 2013. We believe that changes in fuel price had a minimal impact on revenues.

Consolidated revenue per transaction increased from $2.80 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $3.03 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.23 or 8.4%. This increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which have higher revenue per transaction products in comparison to our other businesses, as well as the reasons discussed above.

North America segment revenues and revenue per transaction

North America revenues increased from $119.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $138.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $19.4 million, or 16.2%. The increase in our North America segment revenue was primarily due to:

 

    The impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which contributed approximately $9 million in additional revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

 

    Organic growth in certain of our payment programs driven primarily by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction.

 

    Included within organic growth, is the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our North America segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to the impact of lower fuel spread margins.

North America segment revenue per transaction increased from $2.90 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $3.25 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.35 or 11.9%. We experienced an increase in transactions in our North America segment primarily due to organic growth in certain payment programs and the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, in addition to the reasons discussed above.

International segment revenues and revenue per transaction

International segment revenues increased from $101.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $134.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $33.2 million, or 32.8%. The increase in our International segment revenue was primarily due to:

 

    The impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which contributed approximately $28 million in additional revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

 

    Organic growth in certain of our payment programs driven primarily by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction.

 

    Included within organic growth, is the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a slightly positive impact on our International segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to the slightly favorable impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact on revenues of approximately $1.4 million, due primarily to favorable fluctuations in the British Pound, which was mostly offset by unfavorable fluctuations in the Russian Ruble and Brazilian Real, in the three months ended June 30, 2014 over 2013. We believe that changes in fuel price and fuel spreads had a minimal impact on revenues.

International segment revenue per transaction increased from $2.68 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $2.83 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.15 per transaction or 5.7%. This increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, some of which have higher revenue per transaction products in comparison to our other businesses, and organic growth in certain of our payment programs. We experienced an increase in transactions in our International segment primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commissions Merchant commissions increased from $19.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $20.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.7 million, or 3.9%. This increase was due primarily to the fluctuation of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel, which impacted merchant commissions in certain card programs, as well as the impact of higher volume in revenue streams where merchant commission are paid.

Processing Processing expenses increased from $32.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $38.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $6.8 million, or 21.4%. Our processing expenses increased primarily due to increased transaction volumes associated with acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in transaction volume, as well as increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses.

Selling Selling expenses increased from $13.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $17.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $4.1 million, or 30.9%. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2013, as well as additional sales and marketing spending in certain markets.

General and administrative General and administrative expenses increased from $31.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $37.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $6.9 million, or 22.4%. The increase was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and incremental stock based compensation of $3.8 million.

Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization increased from $15.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $24.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $8.5 million, or 53.7%. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions completed during 2013, which resulted in an increase of $8.7 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets for customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements and software and increased depreciation expense.

Operating income and operating margin

Consolidated operating income

Operating income increased from $109.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $134.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $25.4 million, or 23.3%. Our operating margin was 49.4% and 49.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume and revenue per transaction. These positive drivers of consolidated results were partially offset by the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment, primarily due to lower fuel spread margins, as well as incremental stock based compensation expense and increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses.

For the purpose of segment operating results, 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 America segment operating income

North America operating income increased from $60.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $68.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $8.2 million, or 13.7%. North America operating margin was 50.3% and 49.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume and revenue per transaction and the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, partially offset by the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment primarily due to lower fuel spread margins. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the impact of increased stock based compensation expense, the majority of which is recorded in our North American segment, as well as the impact of lower fuel spread margins.

International segment operating income

International operating income increased from $49.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $66.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $17.2 million, or 35.1%. International operating margin was 48.3% and 49.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income and operating margin was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume. These positive drivers of results were partially offset by increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense increased from $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $5.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1.6 million, or 41.3%. The increase is due to an increase in borrowings in 2014 over 2013, primarily due to funding the purchase price for acquisitions. The following table sets forth the average interest rates paid on borrowings under our Credit Facility, to include our term loan, domestic Revolver A, foreign Revolver B and foreign swing line of credit, as well as the relevant unused credit facility fees. There were no borrowings under our foreign Revolver A in the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Equity method investment loss

On April 28, 2014, we acquired a minority interest in Masternaut, a provider of telematics solutions to commercial fleets in Europe, which we account for as an equity method investment. The loss at Masternaut was driven primarily by amortization of basis differences in this investment of approximately $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased from $32.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $39.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $7.2 million, or 22.3%. 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 increased from 30.6% for three months ended June 30, 2013 to 30.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to losses generated from investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which provided no tax benefit to us.

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 $73.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $88.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $15.4 million, or 21.1%.

Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013. The macroeconomic environment was primarily impacted by lower fuel prices, lower fuel spread margins and foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a slightly unfavorable impact on revenues of approximately $0.6 million, due primarily to unfavorable fluctuations in the Brazilian Real and Russian Ruble, which were mostly offset by favorable fluctuations in the British Pound, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over 2013.

Consolidated revenue per transaction increased from $2.71 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $2.97 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.26 or 9.8%. This increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which have higher revenue per transaction products in comparison to our other businesses, as well as the reasons discussed above.

North America segment revenues and revenue per transaction

North America revenues increased from $220.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $265.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $45.1 million, or 20.5%. The increase in our North America segment revenue was primarily due to:

 

    The impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which contributed approximately $21 million in additional revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

 

    Organic growth in certain of our payment programs driven primarily by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction.

 

    Included within organic growth, is the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our North America segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to the impact of lower fuel spread margins. We believe that changes in fuel price had a minimal impact on revenues.

North America segment revenue per transaction increased from $2.77 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $3.19 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.42 or 15.1%. We experienced an increase in transactions in our North America segment primarily due to organic growth in certain payment programs and the impact of the acquisitions completed in 2013, in addition to the reasons discussed above.

International segment revenues and revenue per transaction

International segment revenues increased from $194.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $262.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $67.8 million, or 34.8%. The increase in our International segment revenue was primarily due to:

 

    The impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, which contributed approximately $61 million in additional revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

 

    Organic growth in certain of our payment programs driven primarily by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction.

 

    Included within organic growth, is the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a minimal impact on our International segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013. Higher fuel spread margins were offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and the impact of lower fuel prices internationally. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a slightly unfavorable impact on revenues of approximately $0.6 million, due primarily to unfavorable fluctuations in the Brazilian Real and Russian Ruble, which were mostly offset by favorable fluctuations in the British Pound, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

International segment revenue per transaction increased from $2.64 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $2.78 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.14 per transaction or 5.4%. This increase is primarily due to organic growth in certain of our payment programs and the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, some of which have higher revenue per transaction products in comparison to our other businesses. We experienced an increase in transactions in our International segment primarily due to organic growth in certain payment programs and the impact of the acquisitions completed in 2013.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commissions Merchant commissions increased from $33.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $38.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $4.5 million, or 13.6%. This increase was due primarily to the fluctuation of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel, which impacted merchant commissions in certain card programs, as well as the impact of higher volume in revenue streams where merchant commission are paid.

Processing Processing expenses increased from $62.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $75.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $13.7 million, or 22.2%. Our processing expenses increased primarily due to increased transaction volumes associated with acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in transaction volume, as well as increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses.

Selling Selling expenses increased from $25.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $34.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $9.8 million, or 39.2%. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2013, as well as additional sales and marketing spending in certain markets.

General and administrative General and administrative expenses increased from $60.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $81.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $21.2 million, or 35.1%. The increase was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and incremental stock based compensation of $10.2 million.

Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization increased from $30.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $48.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $18.3 million, or 60.1%. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions completed during 2013, which resulted in an increase of $18.4 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets for customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements and software and increased depreciation expense.

Operating income and operating margin

Consolidated operating income

Operating income increased from $203.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $284.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $45.3 million, or 22.3%. Our operating margin was 49.1% and 47.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume and revenue per transaction. These positive drivers of consolidated results were partially offset by the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment, primarily due to lower fuel spread margins and lower fuel prices, as well as incremental stock based compensation expense and increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses, which also resulted in a decrease in operating margin. Additionally, the shift in earnings mix in our business also contributed to the decrease in operating margin.

For the purpose of segment operating results, 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 America segment operating income

North America operating income increased from $109.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $124.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $15.0 million, or 13.7%. North America operating margin was 49.8% and 46.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume and revenue per transaction and the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, partially offset by the generally negative impact of the macroeconomic environment, primarily due to lower fuel spread margins. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the impact of increased stock based compensation expense, the majority of which is recorded in our North American segment.

International segment operating income

International operating income increased from $93.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $124.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $30.3 million, or 32.3%. International operating margin was 48.2% and 47.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and organic growth in the business driven by increases in volume. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the shift in earnings mix in our businesses, as well as increased bad debt expense in certain of our businesses.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense increased from $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $10.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $3.6 million, or 49.5%. The increase is due to an increase in borrowings in 2014 over 2013, primarily due to funding the purchase price for acquisitions. The following table sets forth the average interest rates paid on borrowings under our

Equity method investment loss

On April 28, 2014, we acquired a minority interest in Masternaut, a provider of telematics solutions to commercial fleets in Europe, which we account for as an equity method investment. The loss at Masternaut was driven primarily by amortization of basis differences in this investment of approximately $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased from $58.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $72.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $14.3 million, or 24.7%. 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 increased from 29.7% for six months ended June 30, 2013 to 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to losses generated from investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which provided no tax benefit to us.

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 $137.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $163.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $25.9 million, or 18.8%.

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, 2014, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalent balance totaled $297.6 million. Our restricted cash balance at June 30, 2014 totaled $46.2 million. Restricted cash primarily represents customer deposits in the Czech Republic, which we are restricted from using other than to repay customer deposits.

At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries where we have determined we are permanently reinvested is $280.8 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 our best interests 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 borrowing 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 Securitization Facility as a source of liquidity to provide the cash flow required to fund merchant payments while we collect 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 Credit Facility as funds available for working capital purposes and acquisitions. At June 30, 2014, we had the ability to generate approximately $14.5 million of additional liquidity under our Securitization Facility. At June 30, 2014, we had approximately $295 million available under our 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. 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, 2014 and 2013.

 

     Six months ended June 30,  
(in millions)    2014     2013  

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 157.7      $ 82.7   

Net cash used in investing activities

     (201.4     (167.1

Net cash provided by financing activities

     1.8        110.1   

Operating activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $82.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $157.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to changes in working capital, driven by increases in amortization resulting from acquisitions completed in 2013, increases in stock based compensation expense, as well as additional net income of $25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

Investing activities Net cash used in investing activities increased from $167.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $201.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily due to cash paid for investments in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

Financing activities Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $110.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The change is primarily due to additional net pay downs of outstanding balances on our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility of $28.6 million and $83.3, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013.

Capital spending summary

Our capital expenditures increased from $10.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $11.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1.5 million, or 14.3%. The increase was primarily related to additional investments to continue to enhance our existing processing systems as well as integration related to recently acquired businesses. We anticipate our capital expenditures will approximate $23 million for 2014 as we continue to enhance our existing processing systems and integrate recently acquired businesses.

Credit Facility

We are party to a five-year, $1.4 billion Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, which we originally entered into on June 22, 2011 and have amended three times since. The Credit Agreement provides for a $550 million term loan facility and an $850 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 $250 million via an accordion feature. 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 may also be used for working capital purposes, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.

On March 13, 2012, we entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment added two United Kingdom entities as designated borrowers and added a $110 million foreign currency swing line of credit sub facility under the existing revolver, which allows for alternate currency borrowing on the swing line. On November 6, 2012, we entered into a second

Table of Contents

amendment to the Credit Agreement to add an additional term loan of $250 million and increase the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $600 million to $850 million. In addition, we increased the accordion feature from $150 million to $250 million. On March 20, 2013, we entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to extend the term of the facility for an additional five years from the amendment date, with a new maturity date of March 20, 2018, separated the revolver into two tranches (a $815 million Revolving A facility and a $35 million Revolving B facility), added additional designated borrowers, with the ability to borrow in local currency and US Dollars under the Revolving B facility and removed a cap to allow for additional investments in certain business relationships. The revolving line of credit contains a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and sublimits for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Sterling, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars. On April 28, 2014, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to add additional designated borrowers.

At June 30, 2014, we had $483.1 million in outstanding term loans, $370.0 million in borrowings outstanding on the domestic revolving A facility, $143.2 million in borrowings outstanding on the foreign revolving A facility and $42.3 million in borrowings outstanding on the foreign swing line of credit. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the Credit Facility.

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 our option, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.0%) 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 0.2% to 0.4% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. At June 30, 2014, the interest rate on the term loan and domestic revolving A facility was 1.9%, the interest rate on the foreign revolving A facility and foreign swing line of credit was 2.2%, the interest rate on the foreign revolving B facility was 4.4%. The unused credit facility was 0.3% at June 30, 2014.

The stated maturity date for our term loan and revolving loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement is March 20, 2018. 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 in March 2018. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable at our option of one, two, three or nine months after borrowing, depending on the term of the borrowing on the facility. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after such loan is made.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made principal payments of $13.8 million on the term loan, $262.4 million on the revolving A facility and $7.3 million on the revolving B facility. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the Credit Facility.

New Zealand Facility

On April 29, 2013, we entered into a $12 million New Zealand dollar ($10.6 million) facility with Westpac Bank in New Zealand (“New Zealand Facility”), which we renewed on June 13, 2014. This facility matures on April 30, 2015. This facility is for purposes of funding the working capital needs of our business in New Zealand, CardLink. A line of credit charge accrues at a rate of 0.025% times the facility limit each month. Interest accrues on outstanding borrowings at the Bank Bill Mid-Market (BKBM) settlement rate plus a margin of 1.0%. The New Zealand Facility contains representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this nature. These covenants include compliance with certain financial ratios.

We did not have an outstanding unpaid balance on this facility at June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the New Zealand Facility.

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, with a purchase limit of $500 million. We refer to this arrangement as the Securitization Facility. The Securitization Facility was amended for the tenth time on February 3, 2014 to extend the facility termination date to February 2, 2015. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.17% plus 0.65% as of June 30, 2014. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.25% per annum as of June 30, 2014.

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, 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. There are no financial covenant requirements related to our Securitization Facility.

Other Liabilities

In connection with our acquisition of certain businesses, we owe final payments of $11.8 million. Also in connection with our acquisition of certain businesses, we have remaining contingent earn out payments to the respective sellers with estimated fair values totaling $86.7 million.

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 three months ended June 30, 2014, 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, 2013. For critical accounting policies, refer to 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, 2013 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 “Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share” above certain financial measures that were 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 measures, 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.

Adjusted revenues

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted revenues as revenues, net less merchant commissions as reflected in our income statement.

We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants to participate in our card programs. The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate. We believe that adjusted revenue is an appropriate supplemental measure of financial performance and may be useful to investors to understanding our revenue performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted revenues are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of adjusted revenues to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, revenues, net (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted EBITDA, as net income as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate (a) interest expense, (b) tax expense, (c) depreciation of long-lived assets, (d) amortization of intangible assets, (e) other expense (income), net and (f) gains and losses from our equity method investment.

We use adjusted EBITDA as a basis to evaluate our operating performance net of the impact of certain non-core items during the period. We believe that adjusted EBITDA may be useful to investors to understanding our operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Adjusted net income

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income as net income as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate (a) non-cash stock based compensation expense related share-based compensation awards, (b) amortization of deferred financing costs and intangible assets, (c) amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, (d) loss on the early extinguishment of debt and (e) our proportionate share of amortization of intangible assets from our equity method investment.

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income per diluted share as the calculation previously noted divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding as reflected in our statement of income.

We use adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash stock based compensation expense from adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time and stock based compensation expense is not a key measure of our core operating performance. We also believe that amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of their acquired intangible assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired. Therefore, we have excluded amortization expense from adjusted net income. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are appropriate supplemental measures of financial performance and may be useful to investors to understanding our operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income and net income per diluted share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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 or investigations; 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, 2013. 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.
