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 including, but not limited to, statements about management’s plan and goals. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts are 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, payments, transaction processing activity and the commercial activity of fleets; the effects of the Company’s business expansion and acquisition efforts; the Company’s failure to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired; the failure of corporate investments to result in anticipated strategic value; the impact and size of credit losses; the impact of changes to the Company's credit standards; breaches of the Company’s technology systems and any resulting negative impact on our reputation, or liabilities, or loss of relationships with customers or merchants; fuel price volatility and changes in fleet fuel efficiency; 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 and securities regulators, or possible changes in banking regulations impacting the Company’s industrial bank and the Company as the corporate parent; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s operations, revenue and income; changes in interest rates; the impact of the Company’s outstanding notes on its operations; 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, 2014, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2015. Our forward-looking statements and these factors do not reflect the potential future impact of any, alliance, merger, acquisition, disposition or stock repurchases. 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of WEX Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015. 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2015.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2.
New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to revenue recognition, which will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new revenue recognition standard requires entities to recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. On July 9, 2015, the the Board voted to defer the effective date by one year to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not for periods beginning on or before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 related to the simplification of the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires entities to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods and provide the applicable disclosures for a change in accounting principal: (i) the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle; (ii) the transition method; (iii) a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted; and, (iv) the effect of the change on the financial statement line item. The adoption of this standard affects presentation only and, as such, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04 related to using a practical expedient for the measurement date of an employer’s defined benefit obligation and plan assets.The new standard gives an entity with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a calendar month-end the ability, as a practical expedient, to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month-end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. Additionally, the new standard provides guidance on accounting for (i) contributions to the plan and (ii) significant events that require a remeasurement (e.g., a plan amendment, settlement, or curtailment) that occur during the period between a month-end measurement date and the employer’s fiscal year-end. An entity should reflect the effects of those contributions or significant events in the measurement of the retirement benefit obligations and related plan assets. As a separate practical expedient, an entity may elect to measure the effects of a significant event as of the calendar month-end closest to the date of the significant event. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard should be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2014-05 will have a material impact on its results of operations.

Business Acquisitions
Esso portfolio in Europe
On December 1, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of the Esso portfolio in Europe through a majority owned subsidiary, WEX Europe Services Limited. The Company formed this entity during 2013 and has 75 percent ownership. The Company paid $379,458 in cash, which includes an $80,000 advance payment made in the third quarter of 2014. The transaction was financed through the Company’s cash on hand and existing credit facility. Under the terms of the transaction, WEX purchased ExxonMobil’s commercial fleet fuel card program which includes operations, funding, pricing, sales and marketing in nine countries in Europe. As part of the transaction, both parties have agreed to enter into a long term supply agreement to serve the current and future Esso Card customers and to grow the business. The Company entered into this transaction in order to expand its presence in the European market and to broaden its international footprint, while laying the foundation for further expansion.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company obtained preliminary information to assist in determining the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Esso portfolio in Europe transaction. During the first six months of 2015, the Company obtained additional information to assist in determining the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Based on such information, the Company retrospectively adjusted the fiscal year 2014 comparative information resulting in an increase in goodwill of $405, a decrease in accounts receivable of $2, a decrease in the customer relationship intangible asset of $374, a decrease in the licensing agreements intangible asset of $374, and an increase in other tangible assets and liabilities, net, including consideration receivable of $345. Based on such information, the Company recorded intangible assets and goodwill as described below. The Company is still reviewing the valuation as well as performing procedures to verify the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the independent valuation of all assets and liabilities. The Company has not finalized the purchase accounting. Goodwill related to this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations for the Esso portfolio in Europe are presented in the Company's Fleet Payment Solutions segment.

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

Supplemental pro forma financial information related to the Esso portfolio in Europe acquisition has not been provided as it would be impracticable to do so. Historical financial information regarding the acquired assets is not accessible and, thus, the amounts would require estimates to be significant and render the disclosure irrelevant.
Acquisition of Evolution1
On July 16, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Evolution1, a leading provider of cloud-based technology and payment solutions within the healthcare industry, for approximately $532,174 in cash. The transaction was financed through the Company’s cash on hand and existing credit facility. Evolution1 developed and operates an all-in-one, multi-tenant technology platform, card products, and mobile offering that supports a full range of healthcare account types. This includes consumer-directed payments for health savings accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, flexible spending accounts, voluntary employee beneficiary associations, and defined contribution and wellness programs. The Company acquired Evolution1 to enhance the Company's capabilities and positioning in the growing healthcare market.
During the third quarter of 2014, the Company obtained preliminary information to assist in determining the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Evolution1 acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2015, the Company obtained additional information to assist in determining the fair values of

certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Based on such information, the Company retrospectively adjusted the fiscal year 2014 comparative information resulting in an increase in goodwill of $379, an increase in other tangible assets and liabilities of $127, and an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $252. There were no changes to the previously reported consolidated statements of operations or statements of cash flows. The valuation of all assets and liabilities have been finalized. Evolution1 had previously recorded goodwill on its financial statements from a prior acquisition, some of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for Evolution1 are presented in the Company's Other Payment Solutions segment.

Sale of Subsidiary and Assets
rapid! PayCard
On January 7, 2015, the Company sold the assets of its operations of rapid! PayCard for $20,000, subject to final working capital adjustments which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1,215. The Company's primary focus in the U.S. continues to be in the fleet, travel, and healthcare industries. As such, the Company divested the operations of rapid! PayCard. The operations of rapid! PayCard were not material to the Company's annual revenue, net income or earnings per share. The Company does not view this divestiture as a strategic shift in its Other Payment Solution segment.
Pacific Pride
On July 29, 2014, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Pride for $49,664, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $27,490. The transfer of the operations of Pacific Pride occurred on July 31, 2014. The Company decided to sell the operations of Pacific Pride as it did not align with the long-term strategy of the core fleet business. The operations of Pacific Pride were not material to the Company's annual revenue, net income or earnings per share. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company entered into a multi-year agreement with the buyer that will continue to allow WEX branded card acceptance at Pacific Pride locations. The Company does not view this divestiture as a strategic shift in its Fleet Payment Solution segment.

Reserves for Credit Losses
In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. The portfolio of receivables consists of a large group of smaller balance homogeneous amounts that are collectively evaluated for impairment. No customer made up more than seven percent of the outstanding receivables at June 30, 2015.
Receivables are generally written off when they are 150 days past due or declaration of upon bankruptcy by the customer. The Company considers whether to adjust the reserve that is calculated by the analytic model primarily based on other factors, such as the actual charge-offs for the preceding reporting periods, expected charge-offs and recoveries for the subsequent reporting periods, a review of accounts receivable balances which become past due, changes in customer payment patterns, known fraudulent activity in the portfolio, as well as leading economic and market indicators.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately 98 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was less than 60 days past due. As of June 30, 2014, approximately 99 percent of the total trade accounts receivable outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due.

Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are utilized to manage the Company's commodity price risk. The Company 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 the 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2014 the Company suspended purchases under its fuel derivatives program due to unusually low prices in the commodities market. Management will continue to monitor the fuel price market and evaluate its alternatives as it relates to this hedging program. For the third quarter of 2015, the Company has purchased fuel price sensitive derivative instruments to hedge approximately 60 percent of our anticipated U.S. fuel-price related earnings exposure. For the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016, the amount hedged declines to 40 percent and 20 percent, respectively. At this time, there are no hedges beyond the first quarter of 2016.
Beginning in April 2014, the Company initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program. The Company uses currency forward contracts to offset the foreign currency impact of balance sheet translation. Prior to the first quarter of 2015, the Company managed foreign currency exchange exposure on an intra-quarter basis. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company held foreign currency exchange contracts that were outstanding over the quarter-end period, minimized foreign cash balances, and expanded the scope of its hedging program to include more currencies. The Company plans to discontinue the foreign currency hedging program in August of 2015. The realized and unrealized gains or losses on the currency forward contracts are reported in earnings within the same unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income line as the impact of the foreign currency translation, net foreign currency (loss) gain.
Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s fuel price derivative instruments and foreign currency instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made.
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, 2015, the Company had the following put and call option contracts related to the Company's commodity fuel price derivatives, which are not designated as hedging contracts and settle on a monthly basis:

Financing and Other Debt
2014 Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2015, the Company has $248,470 of borrowings against its $700,000 revolving credit facility. The outstanding debt under the Company's amortizing term loan arrangement, which expires in January of 2018, totaled $472,500 at June 30, 2015 and $486,250 at December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, amounts outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 225 basis points, (b) the prime rate plus 125 basis points for our domestic borrowings; and the Eurocurrency rate plus 225 basis points for our international borrowings.
Borrowed Federal Funds
In the second quarter of 2015, the Company increased its federal funds lines of credit by $135,000 to $260,000. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $50,500 outstanding, at a rate of 0.375 percent, on its $260,000 federal funds lines of credit. As of December 31, 2014 the Company had no outstanding balance on its $125,000 of available credit on these lines.
UNIK debt
UNIK had approximately $6,446 of debt as of June 30, 2015, and $7,975 of debt as of December 31, 2014. UNIK's debt is comprised of various credit facilities held in Brazil, with various maturity dates. The weighted average annual interest rate was 13.5 percent as of June 30, 2015, and 13.9 percent as of December 31, 2014. This debt is classified in Other debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

During the second quarter of 2014, WEX Bank entered into an agreement with a third party bank to fund a customer balance that exceeded WEX Bank's lending limit to an individual customer. This borrowing carries a variable interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25 percent.  The balance of the debt as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $45,000. The participation debt balance will fluctuate on a daily basis based on customer funding needs, and will range from $0 to $45,000. The participation debt agreement will mature on April 1, 2016. This debt is classified in Other debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented. 
Securitization facility
On April 28, 2015, the Company entered into a one year securitized debt agreement with a bank. Under the terms of the agreement, each month, on a revolving basis, the Company sells certain of its Australian receivables to a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary consolidated by the Company ("Securitization Subsidiary"). The Securitization Subsidiary, in turn, uses the receivables as collateral to issue asset-backed commercial paper ("securitized debt") for approximately 85 percent of the securitized receivables. The amount collected on the securitized receivables is restricted to pay the securitized debt and is not available for general corporate purposes.
The Company pays a variable interest rate on the outstanding balance of the securitized debt, based on the Australian Bank Bill Rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate as of June 30, 2015, was 2.89 percent. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $89,176 of securitized debt.

Fair Value
The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives (see Note 8, Derivative Instruments) 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 in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active 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.

$400 Million Notes outstanding
The Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2015, have a carrying value of $400,000 and fair value of $385,500. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the $400,000 in Notes outstanding had a fair value of $388,000. The fair value is based on market rates for the issuance of our debt. The Company determined the fair value of its Notes outstanding are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. The obligations related to the deferred compensation plan trust are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Foreign currency exchange contracts
Derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach (Level 2) based on the spot rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. We consider counterparty

(unaudited)

credit risk in the valuation of our derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk did not impact the valuation of our derivatives during 2014 and 2015.
Fuel price derivative instruments
The majority of fuel price derivative instruments 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 derivative instruments – diesel. The assumptions used in the valuation of the diesel fuel price derivative instruments 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, 2015, are as follows:

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 2015 through the first quarter of 2016. Significant changes in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Income Taxes
Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $11,494 at June 30, 2015, and $7,733 at December 31, 2014. 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.

Restructuring
In the first half of 2015 the Company recorded initial restructuring costs of approximately $8,559 related to the Company's global review of operations. This global review identified certain initiatives to further streamline the business, improve the Company's efficiency, and to globalize the Company's operations, all with an objective to improve scale and increase profitability going forward. The costs related to this initiative are employee termination benefits. No costs were paid during the second quarter of 2015. These costs are expected to be paid during the remainder of 2015 and 2016. The Company has determined that the amount of expense related to this program is probable and estimable and has recorded the impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and in Accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets. The operating segments are aggregated into the two reportable segments as described below.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company’s operating and reportable segments based upon revenues and adjusted pre-tax income before NCI which adjusts income before income taxes to exclude fair value changes of fuel price derivative instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, the expense associated with stock-based compensation, acquisition related expenses and adjustments, 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, gains on

the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement, restructuring charges, gain or losses on divestitures and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests.
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 these 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 our corporate purchase cards and 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. The results of operations for Evolution1 are presented in the Company's Other Payment Solutions segment. Evolution1 contributed net revenues of approximately $48,860 and are not significant to the adjusted pre-tax income before NCI. Management is currently evaluating its internal reporting structure and is in the process of determining the impact of the changes on the Company’s segment and goodwill reporting.
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.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, adjusted net income attributable to WEX Inc. excludes net foreign currency gains and losses. For comparative purposes, adjusted net income attributable to WEX Inc. for the prior periods has been adjusted to reflect the exclusion of net foreign currency gains and losses and differs from the figure previously reported due to this adjustment. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.

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, 2014, 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 February 26, 2015 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
Overview
WEX is a leading provider of corporate card payment solutions. We have 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 from our virtual card product. The Other Payment Solutions segment has operations in North America, Europe, Australia and Brazil.
The Company’s U.S. operations include WEX, Fleet One,WEX Bank and Evolution1. Our international operations include our wholly-owned subsidiaries WEX Fuel Cards Australia, WEX Prepaid Cards Australia, WEX New Zealand and WEX Europe, located in England, and our majority equity positions in UNIK, a Brazil based company, and our majority owned subsidiary WEX Europe Services, headquartered in England.
Summary
Below are selected items from the second quarter of 2015:
Other payment solutions purchase volume grew by approximately $1.3 billion from the second quarter of 2014 to $5.7 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 31 percent, primarily driven by our acquisition of Evolution1 in July of 2014 and also due to virtual card volume increases.
Average number of vehicles serviced increased 24 percent from the second quarter of 2014 to approximately 9.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, primarily driven by our the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
Total fuel transactions processed increased 5 percent from the second quarter of 2014 to 103.1 million for the second quarter of 2015. Total payment processing transactions in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment increased 11 percent to 86.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same quarter in 2014. Transaction processing transactions decreased 19 percent to 16.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same quarter in 2014, primarily due to the divestiture of Pacific Pride in July of 2014.
Average expenditure per payment processing transaction in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment decreased 22 percent to $68.98 for the second quarter of 2015, from $88.46 for the same period in the prior year. The average U.S. fuel price per gallon during the second quarter of 2015 was $2.74, a 27 percent decrease over the same period in the prior year. The average Australian fuel price per gallon during the second quarter of 2015 was $3.91, a 28 percent decrease as compared to the same period in the prior year. Although we have partially hedged against the impact of domestic fuel price fluctuations on earnings, if prices remain low, our future revenue and earnings will be negatively impacted.
Credit loss expense in the Fleet Payment Solutions segment was $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $6.3 million during the second quarter of 2014. Spend volume decreased 14 percent in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same quarter last year and our credit losses were 5.3 basis points of fuel expenditures for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to 9.1 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last year.
Realized gains on our fuel price derivatives during the second quarter of 2015 were $9.0 million as compared to a realized loss of $2.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
In the first half of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling.

Table of Contents


Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program, which we plan to discontinue in August of 2015. Movements in these exchange rates associated with our foreign held currencies combined with the results of our foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a loss of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2015.
On April 28, 2015, we entered into a one year securitized debt agreement with a bank. Under the terms of the agreement, each month, on a revolving basis, we sell certain of its Australian receivables to a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary consolidated by us ("Securitization Subsidiary"). The Securitization Subsidiary, in turn, uses the receivables as collateral to issue asset-backed commercial paper ("securitized debt") for approximately 85 percent of the securitized receivables. The amount collected on the securitized receivables is restricted to pay the securitized debt and is not available for general corporate purposes.
Our effective tax rate was 38.4 percent for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to 35.8 percent for the second quarter of 2014. Discrete items in the second quarter of 2015 contributed to the higher effective tax rate, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Future tax rates may fluctuate due to changes in the mix of earnings among different tax jurisdictions. Our tax rate may also fluctuate due to the impacts that rate and mix changes have on our net deferred tax assets. We anticipate that our future GAAP effective tax rate should be within the range of our historical rates.

Summary
Our payment processing revenue decreased, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the large decline in fuel prices. During the second quarter of 2015, we had an 11 percent increase in our payment processing transactions, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Our focus is on bringing value to our customers, and our attrition rates remain low. We also continue to drive new customer acquisitions. Our domestic fleet organic growth was partially offset by a softness in sales, primarily driven by a slowdown in purchased fuel volume in the large fleet market. These decreases in organic growth were offset by our European fleet business, purchased in December of 2014, where we are encouraged by favorable trends in the European market.
Revenues
Payment processing revenue decreased $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 and $27.2 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases are primarily due to a decrease in the average domestic price per gallon of fuel in 2015 as compared to 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in payment processing volume primarily related to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
Our account servicing revenue increased $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 and $9.8 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to an increase in revenue related to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014, and growth in our WEX Telematics business.
Our finance fees revenue increased $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 and $3.1 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to additional factoring revenue as well as higher late fees associated with changes to our waiver practice. Payments for customer receivables are generally due within thirty days or less, excluding our FlexCard program. 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 (i) changes in late fee rates and (ii) increases or decreases in the number of customers with overdue balances.

Changes in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, include the following:
Salary and other personnel expenses increased $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in headcount related to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
Service fees increased by $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. Service fees increased compared to the prior year due to expenses associated with the the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in service fees related to the divestiture of Pacific Pride that occurred on July 31, 2014.
Provision for credit losses decreased by $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel

Table of Contents


expenditures on the payment processing transactions. This metric for credit losses was 5.3 basis points of fuel expenditures for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 9.1 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last year. We generally 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 further ensure overall reserve adequacy. The reduced expense we recognized in the quarter is a reflection of lower fleet receivables as compared to the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of lower fuel prices.
Technology leasing and support expenses increased $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $12.8 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in headcount related to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
In the first half of 2015 we recorded restructuring costs of approximately $8.6 million related to our global review of operations. The costs related to this initiative are employee termination benefits and are expected to be paid during the remainder of 2015 and 2016.
Service fees increased by $7.1 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. Service fees increased compared to the prior year due to expenses associated with the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
Provision for credit losses decreased by $8.4 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Credit losses were 6.0 basis points of fuel expenditures for the first half of 2015, compared to 11.5 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last year. The reduced expense we recognized in the first half of 2015 is a reflection of lower fleet receivables as compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of lower fuel prices.
Technology leasing and support expenses increased $2.6 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses increased $1.7 million for the first half of 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in depreciation expense is primarily related to depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquisition of the Esso portfolio in Europe.

Fuel price derivatives
We own fuel price derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of the volatility in domestic fuel prices on our cash flows. These fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our fuel price sensitive derivative instruments affect our net income.

Changes in fuel price derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding periods a year ago, are attributable to the movements in fuel prices in the corresponding periods. As of June 30, 2015, the projected future price of fuel is below the average future floor price of our derivatives, resulting in a net asset on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Losses that are realized on these derivatives are offset by higher payment processing revenue we receive because such revenues are dependent, in part, on the current price of fuel. Conversely, realized gains are offset by lower payment processing revenue.
During the fourth quarter of 2014 we suspended purchases under our fuel derivatives program due to unusually low prices in the commodities market. Management will continue to monitor the fuel price market and evaluate our alternatives as it relates to this hedging program. For the third quarter of 2015, we have purchased fuel price sensitive derivative instruments to hedge approximately 60 percent of our anticipated U.S. fuel-price related earnings exposure. For the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016, the amount hedged declines to 40 percent and 20 percent, respectively. At this time, there are no hedges beyond the first quarter of 2016.
The Company currently does not plan to hedge our fuel price risk exposure for WEX Fuel Cards Australia, or the European fleet business as the earnings exposure to fuel price movements are typically more limited than it is domestically.
Loss on foreign currency transactions
In the first half of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. Furthermore, the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014 has increased this type of exposure. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program which we plan to discontinued in August of 2015. The results of these hedges are recorded in Net foreign currency (loss) gain. Management will continue to monitor foreign exchange rates and the impact to the operations of the business. The fluctuations in exchange rates combined with the results of the foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 and a loss of $1.6 million for the first half of 2015.
Financing interest expense
Financing interest expense increased $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year and increased $3.2 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. On August 22, 2014, we entered into the 2014 Credit Agreement. The 2014 Credit Agreement amends and restates the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2014 Credit Agreement increased the outstanding amount of the term loans from $277.5 million to $500.0 million, and accordingly, financing interest expense related to the term loan outstanding was higher in 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014.

(a) Excludes payment processing volume from rapid! Paycard, which was sold on January 7, 2015, and UNIK. As of July 16, 2014, includes interchange volume from Evolution1.
Summary
The growth this quarter was primarily driven by the travel virtual product and healthcare product. Purchase volume came in as expected, and we continued to work on expanding relationships with existing partners, onboard new customers and sign contract extensions during the quarter. We are focused on globalizing our virtual card product and pursuing value-added enhancements to our core service offering to meet the needs of our customers in high-growth markets. Our penetration in Asia remains at an early stage, and we are encouraged by the interest our travel offering has received.
Revenues
Payment processing revenue increased $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year and increased $20.4 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to revenue associated with Evolution1, which was acquired in July of 2014, as well as higher corporate charge card purchase volume from our virtual WEX Travel product. The net interchange rate for the second quarter was 84 basis points, down 2 basis points as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to renegotiated contracts.
Account servicing revenue increased $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year and increased $19.4 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to revenue associated with Evolution1.
Other revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased by approximately $5.4 million as compared to the same period in the prior year and increased $10.4 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to revenues associated with Evolution1, as well as changes in fees charged to customers in Brazil.

Loss on foreign currency transactions
In the first half of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program which we plan to discontinue in August of 2015. These fluctuations in exchange rates combined with the results of the foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a $0.9 million loss for the second quarter of 2015 and a loss of $5.0 million for the first half of 2015.
Financing interest expense
Financing interest expense increased $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year and increased $6.2 million for the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases are due to the debt incurred to purchase Evolution1.
Non-GAAP financials measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we publicly discuss additional financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. Although Adjusted Net Income is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure is integral to our reporting and planning processes. We consider this measure integral because it eliminates the non-cash volatility associated with the fuel price related derivative instruments, and excludes other specified items that our management excludes in evaluating our performance. Specifically, in addition to evaluating our performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates our performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:
Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative instruments helps management identify and assess trends in our underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with fuel-price related derivative contracts.
The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate.
Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of foreign currency cash, receivable and payable balances, certain intercompany notes and any gain or loss on foreign currency hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items will improve the comparison of operating results.
The amortization of purchased intangibles, deferred loan costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, acquisition related expenses, non-cash adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of our business.
Stock-based compensation is different from other forms of compensation, as it is a non-cash expense. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to us is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.
The gain or loss from a divestiture is not indicative of the performance of the ongoing operations of our business.
We consider certain acquisition-related costs, such as investment banking fees, transition expenses, such as termination benefits, financing fees and warranty and indemnity insurance, to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired business or the Company. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. We believe that excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
For the same reasons, we believe that Adjusted Net Income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our performance. However, because Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted Net Income as used by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income to net earnings attributable to WEX Inc.:

The tax impact of the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted Net Income is the difference between our GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon our Adjusted Net Income before taxes. The methodology utilized for calculating our Adjusted Net Income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating our GAAP tax provision.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit agreement, term loan and $400 million in Notes outstanding, as well as other available methods of financing (including deposits, borrowed federal funds and our securitization facility), are adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.

WEX Bank issued certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between one month and two years and with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.40 percent to 1.05 percent as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $217.6 million of certificates of deposit outstanding, compared to $566.8 million of certificates of deposits outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Certificates of deposit are subject to regulatory capital requirements.
As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $299.3 million of interest-bearing money market deposits with a weighted average interest rate of 0.24 percent, compared to $317.8 million of interest-bearing money market deposits at June 30, 2014, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.23 percent. WEX Bank also has non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and non-interest bearing customer deposits. As of June 30, 2015, we had $349.5 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $38.7 million of non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. As of June 30, 2014, we had $345.0 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $21.7 million of non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. Deposits are subject to regulatory capital requirements.
In the second quarter of 2015, we increased the federal funds lines of credit by $135 million to $260 million. As June 30, 2015, we had $50.5 million outstanding on our $260.0 million federal funds lines of credit. As of June 30, 2014, we had no outstanding balance on our $125.0 million of available credit on these lines.
We added $27.7 million in capital additions during the first half of 2015, primarily related to the development of internal-use software as we expand globally and provide competitive products and services to our customers. We expect total capital expenditures for 2015 to be approximately $65 to $70 million.
We purchased $22.0 million in treasury shares during the first six months of 2015.
Liquidity
WEX Bank utilizes brokered deposits, NOW deposits and borrowed federal funds to finance our accounts receivable. We continue to have access to these short-term borrowing instruments to fund our accounts receivable. Our cash balance for the first half of 2015 decreased by $100.4 million, deposits and borrowed federal funds increased by $22.6 million and our financing debt decreased by $182.6 million. Our accounts receivable decreased $244.5 million and our accounts payable decreased $177.7 million, primarily due to lower fuel prices.
In general, our trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement are generally subject to late fees based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. As of June 30, 2015, approximately 91 percent of the outstanding balance of $2.1 billion, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 98 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due. As of June 30, 2014, approximately 97 percent of the outstanding balance of $2.2 billion, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 99 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due.
On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Credit Agreement, among the Company and a syndicate of lenders. The 2013 Credit Agreement provided 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 required 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 million in principal amount of senior or senior subordinated notes of the Company. Subject to certain conditions, including obtaining relevant commitments, the Company had 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 increased the outstanding amount of the term loan from $185 million to $300 million and increased the availability under the revolving credit facility 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 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 of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued pursuant to the 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 of the issuance of the Notes, on January 30, 2013, the revolving loan commitment under the 2013 Credit Agreement was reduced to $700 million.
On August 22, 2014 we entered into the 2014 Amendment Agreement and the 2014 Credit Agreement, to modify certain terms of out existing bank borrowing agreements, including the 2013 Credit Agreement, in order to permit the additional financing and investments necessary to facilitate the consummation of the Esso portfolio in Europe transaction. The amendments provided for a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $222.5 million for a total term loan facility of $500 million, a $700 million secured revolving credit facility with a $150 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $20 million sublimit for swingline loans, that either mature or terminate on January 31, 2018.
On April 28, 2015, we entered into a one year securitized debt agreement with a bank. Under the terms of the agreement, each month, on a revolving basis, we sell certain of its Australian receivables to a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary consolidated by us ("Securitization Subsidiary"). The Securitization Subsidiary, in turn, uses the receivables as collateral to issue asset-backed commercial paper ("securitized debt") for approximately 85 percent of the securitized receivables. The amount collected on the securitized receivables is restricted to pay the securitized debt and is not available for general corporate purposes.
We pay a variable interest rate on the outstanding balance based on the Australian Bank Bill Rate plus an applicable margin, which as of June 30, 2015, was 2.89 percent. As of June 30, 2015, we had $89.2 million of securitized debt.
As of June 30, 2015, we have approximately 2.6 years left on our $700 million revolving credit facility and have $248.5 million of borrowings against it. The outstanding debt under our amortizing term loan arrangement, which expires in January of 2018, totaled $472.5 million at June 30, 2015 and $486.3 million at December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, amounts outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 225 basis points, (b) the prime rate plus 175 basis points for our domestic borrowings; and the Eurocurrency rate plus 225 basis points for our international borrowings.
We decreased our overall financing debt (2014 Credit Agreement and Notes), excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, by $182.6 million during the first half of 2015 with a balance outstanding of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2015.
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.
On January 7, 2015, we sold our operations of rapid! PayCard for $20.0 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million.
As of June 30, 2015, we have approximately $45.3 million in cash located in our foreign entities, outside of the United States.
Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $11.5 million as of June 30, 2015. We currently do not plan to repatriate these earnings. 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.
Earnings outside of the U.S. are accompanied by certain financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may reduce the reported value of our foreign currency revenues, net of expenses, and cash flows. We cannot predict changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of exchange rate changes, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes.
In April 2014 we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program. In 2014 we managed foreign currency exchange exposure on an intra-quarter basis. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we held contracts outstanding over the quarter end period, minimized foreign cash balances, and expanded the scope of our hedging program to include more currencies. We plan to discontinue the foreign currency hedging program in August of 2015. We will continue to monitor our foreign currency exposure for discrete items and may, from time to time, hedge certain forieng currency transactions.

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, 2015.
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, 2015, 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 2015. However, we are subject to 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, 2014, 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. 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 September 13, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $150.0 million worth of our common stock from time to time until September 30, 2017.
We did not purchase shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2015. The approximate dollar value of shares that were available to be purchased under the current repurchase program was $108.2 million million as of June 30, 2015.
