FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers: the effects of general economic conditions on fueling patterns and the commercial activity of fleets; the effects of the Company’s international business expansion and integration efforts and any failure of those efforts; the impact and range of credit losses; breaches of the Company’s technology systems and any resulting negative impact on our reputation, liability, or loss of relationships with customers or merchants; the Company’s failure to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired; fuel price volatility; the Company’s failure to maintain or renew key agreements; failure to expand the Company’s technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as the Company’s competitors; the actions of regulatory bodies, including banking, derivatives and securities regulators, or possible changes in banking regulations impacting the Company’s industrial bank and WEX Inc. as the corporate parent; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s operations, revenue and income; changes in interest rates; financial loss if the Company determines it necessary to unwind its derivative instrument position prior to the expiration of a contract; the incurrence of impairment charges if our assessment of the fair value of certain of our reporting units changes; the uncertainties of litigation; as well as other risks and uncertainties identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013. Our forward-looking statements and these factors do not reflect the potential future impact of any alliance, merger, acquisition or disposition. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the initial filing of this Quarterly Report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of WEX Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2012. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2013. When used in these notes, the term “Company” means WEX Inc. and all entities included in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2013.

The presentation of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the period ended December 31, 2012 has been corrected for an immaterial error in the classification of foreign deferred tax liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, the foreign jurisdiction deferred tax liability balance was erroneously netted with the domestic deferred tax asset balance and presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a deferred tax asset. This correction of the error resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets and total assets of $18,407 and a corresponding increase in deferred tax liabilities, total liabilities, and total liabilities and stockholders’ equity of $18,407. The result of this correction did not impact the Company’s consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for any period presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying values of certificates of deposit, interest-bearing money market deposits, borrowed federal funds and credit agreement borrowings, approximate their respective fair values as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable. All other financial instruments are reflected at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

The notes outstanding as of June 30, 2013, have a carrying value of $400,000 and fair value of $376,000. The fair value is based on market rates for the issuance of debt.

2. New Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when the following exist: (i) an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position, and (ii) the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose (provided the tax law permits a choice). If either of these conditions exists, entities should present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2013-11 will have a material impact on its results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance is intended to provide disclosure on items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the income statement. The required disclosure is in Note 10, Comprehensive Income.

 

3. Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of CorporatePay

On May 11, 2012, the Company acquired all of the stock of CorporatePay, a provider of corporate prepaid solutions to the travel industry in the United Kingdom for approximately GBP 17,000 (US $27,783 at the time of the acquisition), net of cash acquired. The Company purchased CorporatePay to expand its Other Payment Solution segment. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adjusted the acquired liabilities, intangible assets and goodwill acquired. The valuations of tangible and intangible assets have been finalized.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired:

Acquisition of Ownership Interest in UNIK

On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired a 51 percent ownership interest in UNIK S.A. (“UNIK”), a privately-held provider of payroll cards in Brazil. The Company purchased its interest in UNIK to expand its Other Payment Solution segment. UNIK is a provider of payroll cards, private label and processing services in Brazil specializing in the retail, government and transportation sectors.

The investment was achieved through the purchase of newly issued shares of UNIK for approximately R$44,800 (approximately US$22,800, at the time of the acquisition). The purchase agreement also includes a contingent consideration component based on performance milestones. Although the contingent consideration was not capped, the Company estimated the amount of the liability, at the time of acquisition, to be approximately R$2,000 (approximately US$1,000). On June 30, 2013, the Company revised the estimate based on current performance milestones to be approximately US$511, which was paid on July 1, 2013. The agreement further provides the Company with a call option which allows the Company to acquire the remaining shares at specific times over a three-year period. Additionally, the purchase agreement provides the noncontrolling shareholders with the right to put their interest back to the Company at specific times. The put options are exercisable at specific dates subject to the achievement of performance hurdles. Pricing for both the call and put options are based upon multiples of UNIK’s trailing twelve month EBITDA. Subsequent to the acquisition of UNIK, UNIK paid down approximately US$19,600 of existing financing debt. As of June 30, 2013, UNIK has approximately US$8,522 of financing debt, classified in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which have not been finalized as the Company is still reviewing statutory net operating losses prior to acquisition, as well as other non-income tax matters. Goodwill associated with the transaction is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. In addition, the Company has recognized and measured a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of UNIK’s net assets owned by the noncontrolling shareholders and is presented in the mezzanine section on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012:

Acquisition of Fleet One

On October 4, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of Fleet One, a privately-held provider of value-based business payment processing and information management solutions. The Company purchased Fleet One to expand its fuel card and fleet management information services, as well as to accelerate its presence in the over the road market.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Valuations of intangible assets are still based on a preliminary assessment as of June 30, 2013, as the Company is currently reviewing the allocation of intangible assets.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired:

4. Reserves for Credit Losses

In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. The Company does not extend revolving credit to its customers with respect to these receivables. The portfolio of receivables consists of a large group of smaller balance homogeneous amounts that are collectively evaluated for impairment.

The following table presents the Company’s aging of accounts receivable:

7. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Interest rate swap arrangements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company also enters into put and call option contracts related to the Company’s commodity price risk, which are based on the wholesale price of gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel and settle on a monthly basis. These put and call option contracts, or fuel price derivative instruments, are designed to reduce the volatility of the Company’s cash flows associated with its fuel price-related earnings exposure in North America.

Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company designates interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges of the forecasted interest

payments on a portion of its variable-rate credit agreement. The Company’s fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under current guidance, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made. Because the derivatives are either accounting or economic hedges of operational exposures, cash flows from the settlement of such contracts are included in “Cash flows from operating activities” on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap arrangements.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following put and call option contracts which settle on a monthly basis:

 

     Aggregate

Fuel price derivative instruments – unleaded fuel

  

Option contracts settling July 2013 – December 2014

     16,777

The settlement of the put and call option contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange’s New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month.

8. Financing Debt

2013 Credit Agreement

On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”), among the Company and a syndicate of lenders. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year amortizing $300,000 term loan facility, and a five-year $800,000 secured revolving credit facility with a $150,000 sub-limit for letters of credit. The indebtedness covenant under the 2013 Credit Agreement requires that the Company reduce the revolving commitments under the 2013 Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Company issued more than $300,000 in principal amount of senior or senior subordinated notes of the Company. Subject to certain conditions, including obtaining relevant commitments, the Company has the option to increase the facility by up to an additional $100,000.

The 2013 Credit Agreement replaced the 2011 Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011. The 2013 Credit Agreement increased the outstanding amount of the term loan from $185,000 to $300,000 and increased the amount of the revolving loan from $700,000 to $800,000. On January 30, 2013, the revolving loan commitment under the 2013 Credit Agreement was reduced to $700,000. The reduction was required due to the completion of the $400,000, 4.75 percent senior notes due in 2023.

$400 Million Note Offering

On January 30, 2013, the Company completed a $400,000 offering in aggregate principal amount of 4.75 percent senior notes due in 2023 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 100.0 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, from January 30, 2013, in a private placement for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 30, 2013 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors listed therein, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes mature on February 1, 2023, and interest accrues at the rate of 4.75 percent per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2013.

The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries and each of the Company’s regulated subsidiaries that guarantees the Company’s 2013 Credit Agreement, which, as of the issue date, consisted of four of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries. WEX Bank, which represents a substantial amount of the Company’s operations, is not a guarantor and is not subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Notes.

The Notes and guarantees described above are general senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with the Company’s existing and future senior debt, senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s subordinated debt, and effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured debt, including the Company’s 2013 Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors, including WEX Bank.

Prior to February 1, 2016, the Company may, subject to certain conditions, redeem up to 35 percent of the Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 104.75 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Prior to February 1, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0 percent of the principal amount of such Notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium (as described in the Indenture), together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

At any time on or after February 1, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on February 1 of the following years:

 

Years beginning on February 1

   Percentage of Principal
Amount of Notes
 

2018

     102.375   

2019

     101.583   

2020

     100.792   

2021 and thereafter

     100.000   

Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company (as described in the Indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101 percent of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries and, in certain limited circumstances, WEX Bank and the Company’s other regulated subsidiaries, to (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock, or make investments or other restricted payments, (iii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (iv) dispose of assets or issue stock of restricted subsidiaries or regulated subsidiaries, (v) create liens on assets, or (vi) effect a consolidation or merger or sell all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. At any time that the Notes are rated investment grade, which is not currently the case, and subject to certain conditions, certain covenants will be suspended with respect to the Notes. WEX Bank and the Company’s other regulated subsidiaries will not be subject to some of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture that place limitations on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ actions, and where WEX Bank and the Company’s regulated subsidiaries are subject to covenants, there are significant exceptions and limitations on the application of those covenants to WEX Bank and the Company’s regulated subsidiaries.

The Company used the net proceeds of this offering to repay the outstanding amount under the revolving portion of its 2013 Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.

9. Fair Value

The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments which are carried at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. In determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, various factors are considered, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors underlying options and derivatives; price activity for equivalent instruments; and the Company’s own credit standing.

These valuation techniques may be based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments inactive markets.

 

   

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments inactive markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

   

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and the related hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2013:

Available-for-sale securities and executive deferred compensation plan trust

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of exchange-traded equity securities.

For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and bonds, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2.

Fuel price derivatives and interest rate swap arrangements

The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The principal technique used to value these instruments is a comparison of the spot price of the underlying instrument to its related futures curve adjusted for the Company’s assumptions of volatility and present value, where appropriate. The fair values of derivative contracts reflect the expected cash the Company will pay or receive upon settlement of the respective contracts.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, the spot price of the underlying instruments, volatility, and correlation. The item is placed in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and inputs with longer tenures are generally less observable.

Fuel price derivatives – diesel. The assumptions used in the valuation of the diesel fuel price derivatives use both observable and unobservable inputs. There is a lack of price transparency with respect to forward prices for diesel fuel. Such unobservable inputs are significant to the diesel fuel derivative contract valuation methodology.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments designated as Level 3 as of June 30, 2013, are as follows:

 

     Fair Value at
June 30, 2013

Fuel price derivatives – diesel

   $ 498       Option model    Future retail price of diesel fuel after June 30, 2013    $3.71 – 4.05

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs. As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments are the future retail price of diesel fuel from the third quarter of 2013 through the fourth quarter of 2014. Significant changes in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Contingent consideration

The Company has classified its liability for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of UNIK within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which include the projected revenues of UNIK over a four month period. assumptions include assessing the probability of meeting certain milestones required to earn the contingent consideration.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined a final payment of contingent consideration and increased the liability by $201. On June 30, 2013, the amount due was determined to be $511 and was paid on July 1, 2013. As the payment is now fixed, it is no longer measured at its fair value.

The Company classified its liability for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of rapid! PayCard within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs, which include the revenues of rapid! PayCard over a twelve month period ending on March 31, 2012. On March 31, 2012, the amount due was determined to be $8,486 and was paid on April 30, 2012.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company awarded restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units to employees under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan. Expense associated with the performance-based restricted stock units may increase or decrease due to changes in the probability of the Company achieving pre-established performance metrics. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, total stock-based compensation expense recognized was approximately $4,388. As of June 30, 2013, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units was approximately $13,289 to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of these awards.

 

13. Income Taxes

On June 29, 2012, tax legislation was enacted in Australia that affected the tax deductibility of certain intangible assets. A tax charge of $31,083 was recorded in June of 2012 to reflect these tax legislation changes. The Company wrote-off an associated refund claim payable to the former shareholder of RD Card Holding Australia for $9,750, included in non-operating income. This payable was contingent on the receipt of the tax refunds generated by tax deductions associated with the amortization of the above mentioned intangible assets.

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $1,831 at June 30, 2013, and $1,756 at December 31, 2012. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. The Company has determined that the amount of taxes attributable to these undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.

 

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

15. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately as each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company’s reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined by the Company as net income adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, the amortization of purchased intangibles, the net impact of tax rate changes on the Company’s deferred tax asset and related changes in the tax-receivable agreement, deferred loan costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, certain non-cash asset impairment charges, the gains on the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement and adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest. These adjustments are reflected net of the tax impact.

The Company operates in two reportable segments, Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to those fleet customers. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from the Company’s corporate purchase cards, virtual and prepaid card products. The corporate purchase card products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and to utilize the Company’s information management capabilities.

Financing interest expense through the Company’s corporate debt, including the term loan and bond issuance, and net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are allocated to the Fleet Payment Solutions segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are not allocated to the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, the notes accompanying those financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Overview

WEX Inc. (“WEX”) is a leading provider of corporate card payment solutions. From our roots as a pioneer in fleet card payments in 1983, WEX has expanded the scope of our business into a multi-channel provider of corporate payment solutions. We currently operate in two business segments: Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. Our business model enables us to provide exceptional payment security and control across a spectrum of payment sectors. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with fleet vehicle payment processing services specifically designed for the needs of commercial and government fleets. Fleet Payment Solutions revenue is earned primarily from payment processing, account servicing and transaction processing, with the majority of revenue generated by payment processing. Management estimates that WEX fleet cards are accepted at over 90 percent of fuel locations in each of the United States and Australia. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment processing solutions for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs through our payment products. Other Payment Solutions revenue is earned primarily from payment processing revenue with operations in North and South America, Europe and Australia.

The Company’s U.S. operations include WEX, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries Fleet One, WEX Bank, rapid! PayCard, and Pacific Pride. Our international operations include our wholly-owned subsidiaries Wright Express Fuel Cards Australia, Wright Express Prepaid Cards Australia, Wright Express New Zealand, and CorporatePay Limited, located in England, and a majority equity position in UNIK S.A. (“UNIK”), a Brazil based company.

Summary

Below are selected items from the second quarter of 2013:

 

   

Corporate charge card purchase volume grew by approximately $359 million to $3.2 billion for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 13 percent over the same period in the prior year.

 

   

Average number of vehicles serviced increased 10 percent from the second quarter of 2012 to approximately 7.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

   

Total fuel transactions processed increased 12 percent from the second quarter of 2012 to 93.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One. Total payment processing transactions increased 15 percent (7 percent excluding Fleet One) to 73.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter in 2012, and transaction processing transactions increased 1 percent to 19.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, over the same period in the prior year.

 

   

Average expenditure per payment processing transaction increased 14 percent to $85.78 for the second quarter of 2013, from $75.47 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was driven by our Fleet One acquisition. Fleet One services Over-the-Road customers who spend more dollars per transaction. The average U.S. fuel price per gallon during the second quarter of 2013, was $3.70 for North America, a 2 percent decrease over the same period in the prior year. The average Australian fuel price per gallon during the second quarter of 2013, was US$5.23, a 7 percent decrease as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in Australia is primarily the result of a sharp decrease in the exchange rates.

Realized losses on our fuel price derivatives during the second quarter of 2013 were $1.2 million as compared to realized losses of $3.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

Revenues

Payment processing revenue increased $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of 2012 and $19.3 million for the first half of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, and organic growth from our domestic fleet business.

Our account servicing revenue increased $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, and increased $6.2 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $2.1 million in account servicing revenue for the second quarter of 2013, and $4.2 million for the first half of 2013. The remaining increase in each period is primarily due to an increase in WEXSmart units in service as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Our finance fees revenue increased $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, and increased $4.2 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $1.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 and $3.5 million during the first half of 2013, primarily through the factoring product line. The remaining increase is from late fees charged to customers for overdue balances. Payments for customer receivables are due within thirty days or less. Late fee revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent. The late fee is calculated using a stated late fee rate based on the outstanding balance. The absolute amount of such outstanding balances can be attributed to (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Late fee revenue can also be impacted by changes in (i) late fee rates and (ii) increases or decreases in the number of customers with overdue balances. The increase in these fees is primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances, as a result of higher fuel prices and transaction volume, not due to deterioration in customer payment behavior.

Depreciation and amortization

   $ 12,741       $ 10,054       $ 2,687         27

Changes in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, include the following:

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $5.6 million in salary and other personnel expense. The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase in headcount, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Service fees increased $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012.

We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions (“Fuel Expenditures”). This metric for credit losses was 7.6 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 8.4 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. We use a roll rate methodology to calculate the amount necessary for our ending receivable reserve balance. This methodology considers total receivable balances, recent charge off experience, recoveries on previously charged off accounts, and the dollars that are delinquent to calculate the total reserve. In addition, management undertakes a detailed evaluation of the receivable balances to help ensure further overall reserve adequacy. The expense we recognized in the quarter is the amount necessary to bring the reserve to its required level after charge offs.

Table of Contents

Technology leasing and support expenses increased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily the result of additional software maintenance costs associated with a new license agreement.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, most of which is due to the amortization of intangible assets.

Changes in operating expenses for the first half of 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, include the following:

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $15.5 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $11.2 million in salary and other personnel expense. Lower capitalized payroll during the first half of 2013, as compared to the prior year period, contributed approximately $1.1 million of the increase in salary expense. This increase is offset by higher non-capitalized contractor expense at Wright Express Australia in 2012. The remaining increase salary and other personnel expense for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily due to increases in headcount.

Service fees increased $1.6 million for the first half of 2013, compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Credit losses were 7.1 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the first half of 2013, compared to 8.5 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. The expense we recognized is the amount necessary to bring the reserve to its required level after charge offs. While overall spend volume increased 32 percent as compared to the same period in the prior year, the expense for credit loss increased only slightly. These are the results of improvements in credit quality and a reduction of charge offs during the first half of 2013, as compared to same period in the prior year.

Technology leasing and support expenses increased $1.7 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily the result of additional software maintenance costs associated with a new license agreement.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5.5 million for the first half of 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fleet One during the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily from the amortization of intangible assets.

Fuel price derivatives

We own fuel price derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of the volatility in North American fuel prices on our cash flows. These fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our fuel price derivative instruments affect our net income. Activity related to the changes in fair value and settlements of these instruments and the changes in average fuel prices in relation to the underlying strike price of the instruments is shown in the following table:

Changes in fuel price derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago are attributable to the movements in fuel prices in the corresponding periods. As of June 30, 2013, the projected future price of fuel is below the average future floor price of our derivatives, resulting in an asset on our balance sheet. Losses that are realized on these derivatives are offset by higher payment processing revenue we receive because such revenues are dependant, in part, on the current price of fuel. Conversely, realized gains are offset by lower payment processing revenue.

We expect that our fuel price derivatives program will continue to be important to our business model going forward, and we expect to purchase derivatives in the future. The Company currently does not plan to hedge our fuel price risk exposure for Wright Express Australia as the earnings exposure to fuel price movements in Australia is typically more limited than it is domestically.

Financing interest expense

Financing interest expense increased $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of the prior year and increased $10.1 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the first half of the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of higher interest rates associated with our $400 million 4.75% fixed rate on notes outstanding issued on January 30, 2013. The proceeds of these Notes were primarily used to pay down borrowings under our existing credit agreement, which had a variable interest rate that was lower at the time of repayment. Financing interest expense for the first quarter of 2013 includes a $1 million write-off of deferred loan fees associated with the extinguishment of debt. We expect financing interest expense for the remainder of the current year to be higher than comparable prior year periods.

Effective tax rates

Our effective tax rate for our Fleet Payment Solutions segment is 37.4 percent for the second quarter of 2013, and 67.4 percent for the second quarter of 2012. Our effective tax rate is 37.1 percent for the first half of 2013, and 59.1 percent for the first half of 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a charge of approximately $26.3 million due to the impact of tax legislation enacted on June 29, 2012, in Australia. This legislation affected our ability to take future tax deductions related to certain amortizable intangibles.

Revenues

Payment processing revenue increased $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased $14.5 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the second quarter is partially due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $2.0 million in payment processing revenue. Approximately $1.9 million of the increase in the second quarter is primarily driven by higher domestic corporate charge card purchase volume from our virtual product. The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase of 11 basis points in the domestic corporate charge card net interchange rate during the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to customer specific incentives from our network provider. The increase for the first half of 2013, as compared to the prior year in the same period is partially due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $4.0 million in payment processing revenue. The remaining increase in the first half of 2013 is primarily driven by (i) higher domestic corporate charge card purchase volume from our virtual product and (ii) an increase of 11 basis points in the domestic corporate charge card net interchange rate, primarily due to customer specific incentives from our network provider.

Account servicing revenue increased $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year and increased $3.0 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $1.2 million in during the second quarter of 2013, and $2.3 million in the first half of 2013.

Other revenue for the second quarter of 2013, decreased approximately $1.5 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased $2.4 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases are primarily due to decreased fees related to cross border charges.

On November 9, 2012, the U.S District Court granted preliminary approval to the merchant interchange settlement. Under the terms of this settlement, the domestic interchange rate for MasterCard branded credit card transactions will be reduced by 10 basis points for a period of 8 months, beginning on July 29, 2013. We currently estimate this reduction in basis points may reduce earnings by $2.7 million for remainder of the year.

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $2.3 million in salary and other personnel expense.

Service fees increased $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $1.5 million in service fees expense. The increase is partially offset by lower cross border fees in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in expenses of $0.8 million for technology leasing and support and occupancy and equipment during the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period last year is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012.

Operating interest expense increased $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily from our UNIK operations.

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $6.5 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $5.0 million in salary and other personnel expense.

Service fees increased $3.8 million during the first half of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of CorporatePay during the second quarter of 2012 and UNIK during the third quarter of 2012, which contributed approximately $3.6 million in service fees expense.

We use a roll rate methodology to calculate the amount necessary for our ending receivable reserve balance. This methodology takes into account total receivable balances, recent charge off experience, recoveries on previously charged off accounts, and the dollars that are delinquent to calculate the total reserve. In addition, management undertakes a detailed evaluation of the receivable balances to help ensure further overall reserve adequacy. The change recognized during the quarter is the amount necessary to adjust the reserve to its required level after net charge offs. The provision for credit losses decreased $1.4 million during the first half of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $0.9 million bankruptcy of a single customer during the first quarter of 2012.

Operating interest expense increased $0.9 million for the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily from our UNIK operations.

Other expenses increased $1.6 million during the first half of 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This change is primarily due to the impact of an $0.8 million reduction in our estimated liability for earn out payments related to the rapid! Paycard acquisition. This adjustment was recorded as a reduction to other expense during the first quarter of 2012.

Effective tax rates

Our effective tax rate for our Other Payment Solutions segment was 38.1 percent for the second quarter of 2013 and 62.1 percent for the second quarter of 2012. Our effective tax rate was 37.7 percent for the first half of 2013 and 52.9 percent for the first half of 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a charge of approximately $4.7 million due to the impact of tax legislation enacted on June 29, 2012, in Australia. This legislation affected our ability to take future tax deductions related to certain amortizable intangibles.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

We focus on management operating cash as the primary measure we use internally to monitor cash flow performance from our core operations and we believe it is a key element in achieving maximum stockholder value. Our industrial bank subsidiary, WEX Bank, utilizes Brokered Deposits, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) deposits and borrowed federal funds to finance our domestic accounts receivable. Since Brokered Deposits, NOW deposits and borrowed federal funds are used to finance our accounts receivable, we believe that they are a recurring and necessary source and use of cash. As such, we consider Brokered Deposits, NOW deposits and borrowed federal funds when evaluating our operating activities. For the same reason, we believe that management operating cash may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our performance. However, management operating cash is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net cash provided by (used for) operating activities as presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Our GAAP operating activities cash flow provided approximately $32.4 million in the first half of 2013, and management operating cash provided approximately $81.5 million of inflows. While GAAP operating activities cash flows showed a use of $50.6 million in the first half of 2012, management operating cash moved in the opposite direction providing approximately $210.5 million of inflows.

In addition to the $81.5 million of management operating cash we generated during the first half of 2013, we increased our overall financing debt by $71.5 million as we completed a $400 million note offering and increased the outstanding amount of our term note. We used funds generated from the note offering and the increase in term note to pay down the balance of our revolving credit facility. We also purchased $17.9 million in treasury shares during the first quarter of 2013.

WEX Bank utilizes Brokered Deposits, NOW deposits and borrowed federal funds to finance our accounts receivable. WEX Bank issued certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between four weeks and two years and with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.85 percent as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $527.1 million of certificates of deposit deposits outstanding, compared to $530.9 million of certificates of deposits outstanding as of June 30, 2012. Certificates of deposit are subject to regulatory capital requirements.

As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $123.2 million of interest-bearing money market deposits at a weighted average rate of 0.37 percent, compared to $123.1 million of interest-bearing money market deposits at June 30, 2012, at a weighted average rate of 0.47 percent. WEX Bank receives non-interest bearing NOW account deposits associated with the Higher One program. As of June 30, 2013, we had $319.9 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $17.7 million on non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. As of June 30, 2012, we had $295.6 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $12.0 million on non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. The Higher One program began during the second quarter of 2012. Deposits are subject to regulatory capital requirements.

At both June 30, 2013 and 2012, we had no outstanding balance on our federal funds line of credit and approximately $140 million available for credit.

Liquidity

We continue to have access to short-term borrowing instruments to fund our accounts receivable. Our cash balance for the first half of 2013, increased by approximately $101.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, as deposits and borrowed federal funds increased approximately $49.1 million and our financing debt increased approximately $71.5 million. Our accounts receivable increased approximately $301.2 million and our accounts payable increased approximately $205.8 million, primarily due to volume increases. During the first quarter of 2013, we purchased approximately $17.9 million in treasury shares.

In general, our trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. We do not extend revolving credit to our customers with respect to these receivables. Receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement are generally subject to late fees based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. At June 30, 2013, approximately 96.6 percent of the outstanding balance of $1,842 million, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 99.0 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due. At December 31, 2012, approximately 96.0 percent of the outstanding balance of $1,568 million, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 99.0 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due.

On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”), among the Company and a syndicate of lenders. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year amortizing $300 million term loan facility, and a five-year $800 million secured revolving credit facility with a $150 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The indebtedness covenant under the 2013 Credit Agreement requires that the Company reduce the revolving commitments under the 2013 Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Company issues more than $300 million in principal amount of senior or senior subordinated notes of the Company. Subject to certain conditions, including obtaining relevant commitments, the Company has the option to increase the facility by up to an additional $100 million.

The 2013 Credit Agreement replaced the 2011 Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011. The 2013 Credit Agreement increases the outstanding amount of the term loan from $185 million to $300 million and increased the amount of the revolving loan from $700 million to $800 million. On January 30, 2013, the Company completed a $400 million offering in aggregate principal amount of 4.75 percent senior notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 100.0 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from January 30, 2013, in a private placement for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 30, 2013 among the Company, the guarantors listed therein, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2023, and interest will accrue at the rate of 4.75 percent per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2013. As a result, on January 30, 2013, the revolving loan commitment under the 2013 Credit Agreement was reduced to $700 million.

We have approximately 4.5 years left on our revolving credit facility and have no borrowings against it. As of June 30, 2013, the unutilized portion of our revolving credit facility is $694.8 million. Outstanding debt under our amortizing term loan arrangement which expires in January of 2018, totaled $292.5 million at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, amounts outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 175 basis points or (b) the prime rate plus 75 basis points.

We increased our overall financing debt (2013 Credit Agreement and Notes) by $71.5 million during the first half of 2013 with a balance outstanding of $692.5 million.

Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants including restrictions in certain situations on the payment of dividends. WEX Bank is not subject to certain of these restrictions. We have been, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions. (See Item 1 - Note 8. Financing Debt)

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $1.8 million as of June 30, 2013. If we were to distribute such earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. The Company’s primary tax jurisdictions are the United States and Australia.

As of June 30, 2013, we have approximately $21.3 million in cash located outside the United States.

We expect our capital expenditures for the full year to be in the range of $40 million to $45 million, which includes approximately $15 million related to the consolidation of data centers.

Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

We have no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc. evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, and is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc. concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, our most recently completed fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the second quarter of 2013. However, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, none of which we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. In addition to the risks identified in the 10-K, the Company has revised the following risk during the second quarter of 2013:

We are exposed to risks associated with operations outside of the United States, which could harm both our U.S. and international operations.

We conduct operations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe. As part of our business strategy and growth plan, we plan to further expand internationally. Expansion of our international operations could impose substantial burdens on our resources, divert management’s attention from U.S. operations and otherwise harm our business. In addition, there are many barriers to competing successfully in the international market, including:

 

   

changes in the relations between the United States and foreign countries;

 

   

actions of foreign or United States governmental authorities affecting trade and foreign investment;

 

   

regulations on repatriation of funds;

 

   

increased infrastructure costs including complex legal, tax, accounting and information technology laws and treaties;

 

   

interpretation and application of local laws and regulations including, among others, those impacting anti-money laundering, bribery, financial transaction reporting and positive balance or prepaid cards;

 

   

enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights;

 

   

potentially adverse tax consequences due to, but not limited to, the repatriation of cash and negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;

 

   

local labor conditions and regulations; and

 

   

fluctuation in foreign currencies.

We cannot assure you that our investments outside the United States will produce desired levels of revenue or costs, or that one or more of the factors listed above will not harm our business.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On February 7, 2007, we announced a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $75 million of our common stock over a 24 month period. In July 2008, our board of directors approved an increase of $75 million to the share repurchase authorization. In addition, our board of directors then extended the share repurchase program through July 25, 2013. We were authorized to purchase, in total, up to $150 million of our common stock. Share repurchases were to be made on the open market and could be commenced or suspended at any time.

We did not purchase shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2013. The approximate dollar value of shares that were available to be purchased under the plans or programs was $19.4 million.
