NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.			Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying 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. Accordingly, they exclude certain disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP, which are of a normal recurring nature, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2022.

We have applied the same accounting policies in preparing these quarterly financial statements as we did in preparing our 2021 annual financial statements. The Company rounds amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to thousands and calculates all per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.


2.			Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of (i) recent accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (ii) those not yet adopted, that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Standard

Description

Date of Adoption

Method of adoptions and effect on financial statements or other significant matters

Adopted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations

This standard requires acquirers within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. This will generally result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in an acquiree’s financial statements if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Previously, contract assets and contract liabilities acquired were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date.

Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2022. Adoption had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The guidelines of this ASU will be applied prospectively for business combinations in the scope of ASC 805.

Not Adopted as of June 30, 2022

ASU 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform

and

ASU 2021–01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope

These standards provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential financial reporting burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. If certain criteria are met, an entity will not be required to remeasure or reassess contracts impacted by reference rate reform.

Election is optional and available through December 31, 2022.

The Company is currently evaluating the implications of these amendments to its current efforts for reference rate reform implementation and any impact the adoption of these ASUs would have on its financial condition and results of operations. While the Company has not yet determined if and when it will adopt these standards, the adoption of such standards is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.


3.			Revenues

In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided.

Contract Balances

The majority of the Company’s receivables, which are excluded from the table below, are either due from cardholders who have not been deemed our customer as it relates to interchange income, or from revenues earned outside of the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s contract assets consist of upfront payments to customers under long-term contracts and are recorded upon the later of when the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related goods or services or when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration. The resulting asset is amortized against revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of customer payments received before the Company has satisfied the associated performance obligations.

The following table provides information about these contract balances:


(In thousands)
Contract balance	Location on the condensed consolidated balance sheets	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Receivables	Accounts receivable, net	$	45,856	$	49,303
Contract assets	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	15,242		8,975
Contract assets	Other assets	36,603		40,718
Contract liabilities	Other current liabilities	8,112		9,123
Contract liabilities	Other liabilities	66,015		58,900

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $4.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, related to contract liabilities existing as of December 31, 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2022 represent the remaining minimum monthly fees on a portion of contracts across the lines of business, deferred revenue associated with stand ready payment processing obligations and contractually obligated professional services yet to be provided by the Company.

The following table includes revenue expected to be recognized related to remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period.

1 The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents the minimum monthly fees on certain service contracts, which contain substantive termination penalties that require the counterparty to pay the Company for the aggregate remaining minimum monthly fees upon an early termination for convenience.

2 Includes software development projects and other services sold subsequent to the core offerings, to which the customer is contractually obligated.

3 Represents deferred revenue and contractual minimums associated with payment processing service obligations. Consideration associated with certain relationships is variable and the measurement and estimation of contract consideration is contingent upon payment processing volumes and maintaining volume shares, among others.

4.			Acquisitions

2022 Transactions

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in PO Holding

On March 7, 2022, WEX Inc. and SBI entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) whereby SBI sold, and WEX Inc. purchased, SBI’s remaining 4.53 percent interest in PO Holding for a purchase price of $234.0 million plus any interest accruing pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. The purchase price is payable in three installments of $76.7 million in each of March 2024, 2025 and 2026, with a final payment of $4.0 million also payable in March 2026. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, WEX Inc. owes SBI interest on the outstanding purchase price balance from March 2024 to March 2025 at the 12-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as determined on March 1, 2024) plus 1.25 percent and on the outstanding balance from March 2025 to March 2026 at the 12-month SOFR rate (as determined on March 3, 2025) plus 2.25 percent, except that no interest accrues on the $4.0 million payment due in March 2026.

Using a discount rate of 3.4 percent as of the acquisition date, the Company recorded the deferred liability under this Share Purchase Agreement at its initial net present value of $216.6 million. The associated discount relative to the purchase price will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the repayment term.

This transaction makes PO Holding, the direct parent of WEX Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of WEX Inc. to which the Company is solely entitled to the economic benefits. See Note 14, Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest, for more information.

2021 Transactions

Asset Acquisition

On April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. completed the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to over $3 billion of HSAs from the HealthcareBank division of Bell Bank, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc. This acquisition increased the Company’s role in its customer-directed healthcare ecosystem and aligns with its growth strategy. On the closing of the acquisition, WEX Inc. paid Bell Bank initial cash consideration of $200.0 million. The Company is required to make two additional cash payments to Bell Bank in association with this acquisition of $25.0 million in July 2023 and $12.5 million in January 2024.

The purchase agreement also includes potential additional consideration payable to Bell Bank annually that is calculated on a quarterly basis and is contingent, and based, upon any future increases in the Federal Funds rate. The contingent payment period began on July 1, 2021 and extends until the earlier of (i) the year ending December 31, 2030, or (ii) the date when the cumulative amount paid as contingent consideration equals $225.0 million.

Given the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition, recognizing $263.4 million as a definite-lived intangible rights asset as of the acquisition date, with a weighted average life of 5.6 years. As part of this acquisition WEX Inc. allocated $11.2 million of the initial cash consideration to the repurchase of SBI’s then non-controlling interest in the U.S. Health business, reducing SBI’s ownership percentage to 4.53 percent at that time. Additionally, the Company recorded an initial deferred liability of $47.4 million equal to the present value of the deferred cash payments and a derivative liability of $27.2 million related to the additional consideration contingent upon future increases in the Federal Funds rate. See Note 13, Fair Value, for further information on the valuation of the derivative liability. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were immaterial and expensed as incurred.

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in WEX Europe Services

On April 13, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining interest in WEX Europe Services, which consisted of 25 percent of the issued ordinary share capital, for a purchase price of $97.0 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns 100 percent of the issued ordinary share capital of WEX Europe Services, which operates as our European Fleet business. This transaction further streamlines the European Fleet business in order to create revenue synergies and increases our ability to manage the associated cost structure. Given the Company had a controlling interest in WEX Europe Services prior to the transaction, the acquisition has been accounted for as an equity transaction, resulting in a reduction of additional paid-in capital by $81.6 million, a $13.1 million elimination of the 25 percent non-controlling interest in WEX Europe Services and a reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income by $2.3 million.

benefitexpress Acquisition

On June 1, 2021, WEX Inc.’s subsidiary, WEX Health, completed the acquisition of Cirrus Holdings, LLC, the indirect owner of Benefit Express Services, LLC, a provider of highly configurable, cloud-based benefits administration technologies and services doing business under the name benefitexpress (the “benefitexpress Acquisition”). The transaction expanded the Company’s role in the healthcare ecosystem, bringing benefit administration, compliance services, and consumer-directed health and lifestyle spending accounts together to form a full-service benefits marketplace. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive purchase agreement, WEX Health consummated the benefitexpress Acquisition for total consideration of approximately $275 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments.

The benefitexpress Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. The table below summarizes the allocation of such fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the purchase accounting for the acquisition became final. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no measurement period adjustments were recorded. The following is a summary of the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, based on the fair value at the date of acquisition:


(In thousands)	As of June 30, 2022
Cash consideration transferred, net of $15.0 million in cash and restricted cash acquired	$	259,061

Accounts receivable	3,103

Accrued expenses	(3,498)
Restricted cash payable	(14,328)


Other liabilities	(5,177)
Recorded goodwill	$	168,424

(1) Weighted average life - 9.3 years.

(2) Weighted average life - 3.6 years.

(3) Weighted average life - 2.5 years.

(4) The weighted average life of the $106.2 million of amortizable intangible assets acquired in this business combination is 8.1 years.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the anticipated synergies of acquiring the businesses. The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. No pro forma information has been included in these financial statements, as the operations of benefitexpress for the period that they were not part of the Company are not material to the Company’s revenues, net income and earnings per share.

5.			Accounts Receivable, net of Allowances

Accounts receivable consists of amounts billed to and due from customers across a wide range of industries and other third parties. The Company often extends short-term credit to cardholders by paying the merchant for the purchase price less the fees it retains and records as revenue, then subsequently collecting the total purchase price from the cardholder. The Company also extends revolving credit to certain small fleets. The Company had approximately $145.3 million and $93.7 million in gross receivables with revolving credit balances as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The allowance for accounts receivable consists of reserves for both credit and fraud losses, reflecting management’s current estimate of uncollectible balances on its accounts receivable.

The following tables present changes in the accounts receivable allowances by portfolio segment:

1 The provision is comprised of estimated credit losses based on the Company’s loss-rate experience and includes adjustments required for forecasted credit loss information. The provision for credit losses reported within this table also includes the provision for fraud losses.

2 The Company earns revenue by assessing monthly finance fees on accounts with overdue balances. These fees are recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain relationship goodwill. Charges to other accounts substantially represent the offset against the late fee revenue recognized when the Company establishes a reserve for such waived amounts.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The receivables portfolio primarily consists of a large group of homogeneous balances across a wide range of industries, which are collectively evaluated for impairment. No individual customer had a receivable balance representing 10 percent or more of the outstanding receivables balance at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The following table presents the outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that are less than 30 and 60 days past due, shown in each case as a percentage of total trade accounts receivable:


Delinquency Status	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

6.			Repurchases of Common Stock

Under a share buyback plan authorized by our board of directors and extending through September 30, 2025 (the “Repurchase Program”), the Company may repurchase up to $150.0 million in shares of its common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise. The number of shares repurchased by the Company during 2022 pursuant to the Repurchase Program have been recorded as treasury stock and are included in the following table. There were no shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

7.			Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the numerator is increased for tax effected interest expense associated with our Convertible Notes and the denominator is increased for the assumed issuance of common shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes under the “if-converted” method, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. Additionally, diluted earnings per share includes the assumed exercise of dilutive options, the assumed issuance of unvested restricted stock units, performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.

The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to shareholders and reconciles basic and diluted shares outstanding used in the earnings per share computations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2022		2021		2022		2021


Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders	$	34,129	$	(33,856)	$	156,892	$	(36,421)

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Diluted1, 2	45,077		44,788		45,211		44,566

1 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 0.7 million and 0.6 million, respectively, of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as the effect of including these awards would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 0.9 million and 1.0 million, respectively, of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, including share-based compensation awards that would otherwise have been dilutive but for the Company’s net loss position, as the effect of including these awards would be anti-dilutive.

2 It is the Company’s current intention to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes in shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the “if-converted” method, approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock associated with the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes as of the beginning of the period have been excluded from diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as the effect of including such shares would be anti-dilutive. For further information regarding the Convertible Notes, see Note 10, Financing and Other Debt.


8.			Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instrument arrangements to manage various risks including interest rate risk.

Interest rate swap contracts

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its outstanding variable-interest rate borrowings. Such contracts are intended to economically hedge the LIBOR component of future interest payments associated with outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

9.			Deposits

WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. See Note 19, Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure, for further information concerning these FDIC requirements.

WEX Bank accepts its deposits through certain customers as required collateral for credit that has been extended (“customer deposits”) and contractual arrangements for brokered and non-brokered certificate of deposit and money market deposit products. Additionally, beginning in October 2021, WEX Bank holds HSA deposits transferred from third-party depository partners. See Note 4, Acquisitions, for more information regarding WEX Inc.’s April 2021 acquisition of contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian of these deposits.

Customer deposits are generally non-interest bearing, certificates of deposit are issued at fixed rates, money market deposits are issued at both fixed and variable interest rates based on LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate and HSA deposits are issued at rates as defined within the consumer account agreements.

The following table presents the composition of deposits, which are classified as short-term or long-term based on their contractual maturities:

3 Deposits held associated with the HSA custodial assets. HSA deposits are recorded within short-term deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as the funds can be withdrawn by the account holders on demand.

In accordance with regulatory requirements, WEX Bank normally maintains reserves against a portion of its outstanding customer deposits by keeping balances with the Federal Reserve Bank, however, due to currently relaxed Federal Reserve requirements enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no required reserve at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

2 Contingent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we have senior secured tranche A term loans (the “Tranche A Term Loans”), senior secured tranche B term loans (the “Tranche B Term Loans”) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $930.0 million under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Prior to maturity, the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans require scheduled quarterly payments of $12.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, due on the last day of each March, June, September and December. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility can generally be rolled forward with interest rate resets through maturity.

The Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin, which is fixed at 1.25 percent for base rate borrowings and 2.25 percent with respect to eurocurrency rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bore a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.7 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively. The Company maintains interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its outstanding variable-interest rate borrowings. See Note 8, Derivative Instruments, for further discussion. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging, as of June 30, 2022, from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent of the daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility (which was 0.30 percent and 0.40 percent at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively) determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

Convertible Notes

The Company has issued Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million due on July 15, 2027 to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC (together with its affiliate, “Warburg Pincus”). Interest on the Convertible Notes is calculated at a fixed rate of 6.5 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. At the Company’s option, interest is either payable in cash, through accretion to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, or a combination of cash and accretion.

The Convertible Notes may be converted at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity, or earlier redemption or repurchase of the Convertible Notes, based upon an initial conversion price of $200 per share of common stock, subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the indenture. The Company may settle conversions of Convertible Notes, at its election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2022, the “if-converted” value of the Convertible Notes was less than the respective principal amount.

WEX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

The Company will have the right, at any time after July 1, 2023, to redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part if the closing price of WEX’s common stock exceeds certain thresholds, as defined within the indenture. In the event of certain fundamental change transactions, including certain change of control transactions and delisting events involving the Company, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase its Convertible Notes at 105 percent of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, plus the present value of future interest payments through the date of maturity. No such repurchase has occurred through June 30, 2022.

The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes and its conversion feature as a single unit of account. The debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the seven-year contractual life of the Convertible Notes. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Convertible Notes had an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent.

The Convertible Notes consist of the following:

Securitization Facilities

The Company is party to two securitized debt agreements with MUFG Bank, Ltd., both through April 2023. Under the terms of these agreements, each month on a revolving basis, the Company sells certain of its Australian and European receivables to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries consolidated by the Company, which in turn use the receivables as collateral to issue securitized debt, which is recorded in short-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes.

The Company pays interest on the outstanding balance of the securitized debt based on variable interest rates plus an applicable margin. The effective interest rate on the total outstanding securitized debt balance was 1.42 percent and 0.91 percent as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Participation Debt

From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. Associated unsecured borrowings generally carry a variable interest rate set according to an applicable reference rate plus a margin, which ranged from 2.25 percent to 2.50 percent as of June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

WEX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding participation agreements for the borrowing of up to $60.0 million through May 31, 2023 and up to $40.0 million thereafter through December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $52.2 million and $1.5 million borrowed against these participation agreements, respectively. Outstanding participation debt of $20.0 million and $1.5 million was recorded within short-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with the remaining outstanding balance of $32.2 million as of June 30, 2022 recorded within long-term debt, net. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the average interest rate on these agreements was 4.02 percent and 2.54 percent, respectively.

Borrowed Federal Funds

WEX Bank borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. There were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other

As of June 30, 2022, WEX Bank pledged $440.3 million of fleet receivables held by WEX Bank to the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral for potential borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. Amounts that can be borrowed are based on the amount of collateral pledged and were $311.1 million and $268.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. WEX Bank had no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.


11.			Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

WEX Europe Services and WEX Bank are each party to separate accounts receivable factoring arrangements with unrelated third-party financial institutions to sell certain of their accounts receivable balances. Each subsidiary continues to service these receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. The Company obtained true-sale opinions from independent attorneys, stating that each respective factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon bankruptcy or receivership under local law. As such, transfers under these arrangements are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade accounts receivable because effective control of the receivables is transferred to the buyers. Proceeds received, which are recorded net of applicable costs or negotiated discount rates, are recorded in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Losses on factoring are recorded within cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The WEX Europe Services agreement automatically renews each January 1 unless either party gives not less than 90 days written notice of their intention to withdraw. Under this agreement, accounts receivable are sold without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the credit limit established by the buyer. If customer receivable balances exceed the buyer’s credit limit, the Company maintains the risk of default. The Company sold $159.6 million and $304.6 million of accounts receivable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $144.7 million and $263.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, under this arrangement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the losses on factoring were $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the losses on factoring were $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts of outstanding transferred receivables in excess of established credit limits were immaterial. Charge-backs on balances in excess of the credit limits during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

The WEX Bank agreement extends through August 2022, after which the agreement can be renewed for successive one-year periods assuming WEX Bank provides advance written notice that is accepted by the purchaser. The Company sold $1.6 billion and $2.4 billion of trade accounts receivable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, under this arrangement. The losses on factoring were immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Unrealized losses on the Company’s debt securities included in the above table are not considered to be credit-related based upon an analysis that considered the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized basis of a security, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, changes to credit rating of the instrument subsequent to Company purchase, and the strength of the underlying collateral, if any. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturity dates of the Company’s debt securities.

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities are recognized within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, unrealized losses recognized on equity securities still held as of June 30, 2022 approximated $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unrealized gains and losses related to equity securities still held as of June 30, 2021 were immaterial.


13.			Fair Value

Certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recorded 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. Various factors are considered in determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, 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.

(unaudited)

•Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Money Market Mutual Funds

A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds that primarily consist of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market.

Debt Securities

The Company determines the fair value of U.S. treasury notes using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active. For corporate debt securities, municipal bonds, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, 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 valued using Level 2 inputs.

The pooled investment fund is a Community Reinvestment Act-eligible investment fund, which seeks to provide bank investors with current income consistent with the returns available in adjustable-rate government guaranteed financial products by investing in Community Development loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The fund maintains individual capital accounts for each investor, which reflect each individual investor’s share of the NAV of the fund.

Fixed Income Mutual Fund

The Company determines the fair value of its fixed income mutual fund investment using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust

The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust, which consist primarily of mutual funds, are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps based on the discounted cash flows of the difference between the projected fixed payments on the swaps and the implied floating payments using the current LIBOR curve, which are Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the asset acquisition from Bell Bank during 2021, the Company is obligated to pay additional consideration to Bell Bank contingent upon increases in the Federal Funds rate. The Company determined the fair value of this contingent consideration derivative liability based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the baseline Federal Funds rate in the purchase agreement with Bell Bank and future forecasted Federal Funds rates over the agreement term. The forecasted Federal Funds rates represent a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a discount rate, which was 3.27 percent as of June 30, 2022 and 1.45 percent as of December 31, 2021. Significant increases or decreases in the Federal Funds rates could result in material increases or decreases, respectively, to the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability.

The Company records changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the contingent consideration derivative liability are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and during the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:

Term Loans and Borrowings on Revolving Credit Facility

The Company determines the fair value of borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans based on market rates for the issuance of the Company’s debt, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022, the approximate fair value of outstanding borrowings on the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans was $892.1 million and $1,370.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of outstanding borrowings on the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans approximated fair value. As of June 30, 2022, the approximate fair value of the outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility was $173.0 million while at December 31, 2021, the principal amount of the outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility approximated fair value. See Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, for the carrying value of these liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Convertible Notes

The Company determines the fair value of the Convertible Notes outstanding using our stock price and volatility, the conversion premium on the Convertible Notes and effective interest rates for similarly-rated credit issuances, all of which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our Convertible Notes approximated $314.7 million and $327.7 million, respectively. See Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, for the carrying value of this liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Contractual Deposits

The Company determines the fair value of its contractual deposits with maturities in excess of one year using current market interest rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of such deposits approximated $554.1 million while at December 31, 2021, the carrying value of such deposits approximated fair value. See Note 9, Deposits, for the carrying value of these liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other Assets and Liabilities

The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented above, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term contractual deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature or maturities. The carrying value of certain other financial instruments, including interest-bearing money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt, borrowed federal funds and deferred consideration associated with our acquisitions approximate their respective fair values due to stated interest rates being consistent with current market interest rates.


14.			Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

On March 5, 2019, the Company acquired Discovery Benefits, an employee benefits administrator. The seller of Discovery Benefits, SBI, obtained a 4.9 percent equity interest in PO Holding, the then newly formed parent company of WEX Health and Discovery Benefits. As part of WEX Inc.’s purchase of the HSA contractual rights from Bell Bank on April 1, 2021, as more fully described in Note 4, Acquisitions, SBI’s ownership percentage was reduced to 4.53 percent.

The original agreement provided SBI with a put right and the Company with a call right for the equity interest, which could be exercised no earlier than seven years following the date of acquisition. Upon exercise of the put or call right, the purchase price was to be calculated based on a revenue multiple of peer companies (as described in the operating agreement for PO Holding) applied to trailing twelve month revenues of the U.S. Health business. The put option made the non-controlling

(unaudited)

interest redeemable and, therefore, the non-controlling interest was classified as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity. Any resulting change in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was offset against retained earnings and impacted earnings per share.

On March 7, 2022, in complete satisfaction of any rights under the PO Holding operating agreement, WEX Inc. and SBI entered into the Share Purchase Agreement whereby SBI sold, and WEX Inc. purchased, SBI’s remaining 4.53 percent interest in PO Holding. The purchase price for the shares in PO Holding was $234.0 million plus any interest accruing pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. The initial liability associated with the future payment of the purchase price was recorded at a net present value of $216.6 million, as more fully described in Note 4, Acquisitions.

The carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest immediately prior to the acquisition date was $254.4 million. The $37.8 million excess carrying value as of the acquisition date was recorded within the change in value of redeemable non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This change in value of redeemable non-controlling interest was offset by $3.5 million of deferred tax expense resulting from the difference between the book and tax bases of the deferred liability payable to SBI. As a result of the acquisition, the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was reduced to zero and WEX Inc. owns 100 percent of PO Holding.

The following table presents the changes in the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest:

15.			Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 29.8 percent and 31.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and (7.9) percent and (7.8) percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was adversely impacted by reduced tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was adversely impacted by a discrete tax item of $7.5 million incurred during the first quarter of 2022, primarily associated with an uncertain tax position, in addition to the reduced tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation previously mentioned. Effective tax rates were significantly lower for the same periods in the prior year primarily due to significant excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation in the prior year.

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $150.4 million and $133.0 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. Upon distribution of the foreign subsidiaries’ earnings in which the Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability; however, it is not expected to be material.

16.			Commitments and Contingencies

Restructuring Activities

In connection with the acquisition of eNett and Optal, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a restructuring program within the Travel and Corporate Solutions segment. The restructuring initiative consisted of employee separation costs, which the Company determined were probable and reasonably estimable. As such, the Company recorded charges incurred under this initiative of $5.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no accrued charges related to this initiative as of December 31, 2021 and no further charges were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this filing, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from all legal proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

Commitments

Minimum Volume Commitments

During June 2022, the Company and its European fuel suppliers amended existing contracts, modifying both prior period and future minimum volume commitments through 2025. As a result of these amendments, the Company reversed previously accrued penalties totaling approximately $7 million as other revenue within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Other Commitments

During June 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a portfolio of certain assets, consisting primarily of card program receivables. The outstanding receivables balances to be converted will fluctuate, but based on the most recent available information, we expect to purchase this portfolio of assets for approximately $48 million, subject to customary adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement. Closing of this transaction is contingent upon satisfaction of certain conditions and is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2022, be funded with cash on hand and accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Other significant commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2022 are consistent with those discussed in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2021.


17.			Stock–Based Compensation

The Company regularly grants equity awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards under its stockholder-approved Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan to certain employees and directors. Stock-based compensation expense was $24.9 million and $48.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $20.6 million and $38.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.


18.			Segment Information

19.			Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure

The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the UDFI. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit business activities and have a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. As of June 30, 2022, the most recent FDIC exam report categorized WEX Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events subsequent to that examination report that management believes have changed WEX Bank’s capital rating.

Total purchase volume across the Company in the second quarter of 2022 grew 77 percent from the same period in the prior year reflecting the strong double digit growth rates in each of our segments, as further described below.

Fleet Solutions

•Payment processing transactions, which represents the total number of purchases made by fleets that have a payment processing relationship with WEX where the Company maintains the receivable for the total purchase, were up approximately 10 percent as compared to the same period last year, substantially as a result of increased transactions processed in North America.

•Average vehicles serviced increased 8 percent for the second quarter of 2022 from the same period last year.

•Payment processing $ of fuel, which represents the total dollar value of the fuel purchased by fleets that have a payment processing relationship with the Company, increased 70 percent for the second quarter of 2022 from the same period last year, driven primarily by higher fuel prices.

Travel and Corporate Solutions

•Purchase volume, which represents the total dollar value of all WEX-issued transactions that use WEX corporate card products and virtual card products, was $17.1 billion for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 96 percent from the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to a continued strong recovery in global travel volumes during the second quarter of 2022, along with increased volumes in our corporate payment solutions business.

1 The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Fleet Solutions decreased revenue by $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and by $6.9 million in the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Favorable impact from domestic fuel prices increased revenue by $64.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $105.3 million in the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

2 Fuel transactions processed represents the total number of fuel transactions (funded and unfunded) made by fleets.

3 Payment processing transactions represents the total number of purchases made by fleets that have a payment processing relationship with WEX where the Company maintains the receivable for the total purchase.

4 Payment processing $ of fuel represents the total dollar value of the fuel purchased by fleets that have a payment processing relationship with WEX.

5 Net payment processing rate represents the percentage of each payment processing $ of fuel that WEX records as revenue from merchants less certain discounts given to customers and network fees. The increase in fuel prices, offset in part by a release of minimum volume commitment penalty reserves, has substantially contributed to a decline in our net payment processing rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

6 Net late fee rate represents late fee revenue as a percentage of fuel purchased by fleets that have a payment processing relationship with WEX.

Total Fleet Solutions revenue increased $104.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $180.1 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Revenue increases primarily reflect increased fuel prices and growth in our existing customer base.

Finance fee revenue is comprised of the following components:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)				Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2022		2021		Amount		Percent		2022		2021		Amount		Percent
Finance income	$	70,830	$	45,235	$	25,595	57	%	$	133,940	$	86,385	$	47,555	55	%
Factoring fee revenue	14,236		14,023		213		2	%	29,531		24,713		4,818		19	%
Finance fee revenue	$	85,066	$	59,258	$	25,808	44	%	$	163,471	$	111,098	$	52,373	47	%

Finance income primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. This revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the

Table of Contents

outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in 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 customer overdue balances. Late fee rates are determined and set based primarily on the risk associated with our customers, coupled with a strategic view of standard rates within our industry. We consider factors such as the Company’s overall financial model and strategic plan, the cost to our business from customers failing to pay timely and the impact such late payments have on our financial results. We typically conduct an assessment of our late fee rates at least annually but may occur more often depending on macro-economic factors. In addition, we periodically assess the market rates within our industry to determine appropriate late fee rates.

Finance income increased $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $47.6 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily as a result of higher domestic fuel prices and increased delinquencies. Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers experiencing financial difficulties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The primary source of factoring fee revenue is calculated as a negotiated percentage fee of the receivable balance that we purchase. A secondary source of factoring fee revenue is a flat rate service fee to our customers that request a non-contractual same day funding of the receivable balance. Factoring fee revenue increased $4.8 million for the first half of 2022, as compared with the same period in the prior year, due to increased shipping demand in the first quarter of 2022, leading to an increase in the size and volume of factored invoices. The softening of the spot rates, or uncontracted transactional market rates paid by a shipper to move a truckload of goods, in the over-the-road market during the second quarter of 2022 resulted in factoring fee revenue remaining consistent with the comparable period in the prior year, which we expect to continue through the remainder of the year.

1 Our CODM evaluates the financial performance of each segment using segment adjusted operating income, which excludes: (i) unallocated corporate expenses; (ii) acquisition-related intangible amortization and other acquisition and divestiture related items; (iii) debt restructuring costs; (iv) stock-based compensation; and (v) other costs. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures” later in this Item 2 for a reconciliation of total segment adjusted operating income to income before income taxes. See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 18, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.

2 Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. The second quarter and first half of 2022 increases in segment adjusted operating income margin over the prior year comparable periods reflect revenue growth including higher fuel prices and operating leverage in the expense base.

Cost of services

Processing costs increased by $11.7 million and $19.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. Such increases were primarily driven by higher compliance costs incurred in association with a consent order issued by the FDIC and UDFI, as further discussed within the Liquidity and Capital Resources section later in this MD&A, and, in part, by business support costs incurred as a result of the increased volumes experienced during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and first half of 2022 as compared to the prior year comparable periods.

Provision for credit losses increased by $30.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $49.8 million for the first half of 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases in the provision for credit losses were reflective of increased fraud losses and credit losses stemming from higher PPG rates along with credit loss rates trending toward more historical norms. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating fuel-related credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. This metric for credit losses was 23.6 and 19.9 basis points of fuel expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 8.1 and 7.2 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Fraud losses contributed 11.0 and 8.2 basis points to the credit losses totals noted above during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1.5 million due primarily to lower ongoing amortization over time resulting from the impact of the accelerated method of amortization on certain acquired intangible assets. The second quarter 2022 depreciation and amortization expense generally remained consistent with that of the same period in the prior year.

Service fees and operating interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were all generally consistent with those from the same periods in the prior year.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods in the prior year due to increased professional services, information technology and compensation expense in support of business growth. We expect additional investments in the second half of the year which will allow us to accelerate specific areas of strategic focus, including cross-selling efforts, additional enhancements to our technology, product innovation including EVs, and process simplification.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily driven by higher partner commissions due to fuel price increases and volume growth, coupled to a lesser extent with increased compensation and marketing expense in support of that growth.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter and first half of 2022 decreased by $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year due to lower ongoing amortization over time resulting from the impact of the accelerated method of amortization on certain acquired customer relationships.

1 The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Travel and Corporate Solutions decreased revenues by $3.6 million and $4.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods.

2 Purchase volume represents the total dollar value of all WEX-issued transactions that use WEX corporate card products and virtual card products.

3 Net interchange rate represents the percentage of the dollar value of each payment processing transaction that WEX records as revenue from merchants, less certain discounts given to customers and network fees.

Total Travel and Corporate Solutions revenue increased $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $25.3 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily driven by an increase in travel-related volumes both internationally and domestically. The Company also experienced continued strength in the corporate payments partner channel. These revenue increases were offset by the impact of an accounting change in the fourth quarter of 2021, which required a shift from gross revenue presentation to net revenue presentation for one customer.

Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

2 Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. The second quarter and first half of 2022 increases in segment adjusted operating income margin primarily reflect accelerated travel volumes and additional benefits from eNett and Optal synergies.

Cost of services

Despite 2022 volumes nearly doubling those of the same periods of the prior year, processing costs and service fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 remained relatively consistent with the comparable prior year periods due to our scalable fixed cost model.

Provision for credit losses decreased $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to slight improvement in customer payment patterns and related risk profile. The provision for credit losses for the first half of 2022 remained consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Operating interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, due to volume growth and increased rates.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $3.0 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the prior year amortization of developed technology intangible assets with a one-year life that were acquired as part of the eNett and Optal acquisition. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2022 remained consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and decreased $12.4 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The second quarter increase was due to higher professional service fees. The decrease in the first half of 2022 was primarily due to a vendor contract termination payment during the first quarter of 2021 and decreased compensation as a result of the integration of eNett and Optal during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2022 by $18.4 million and $34.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to a reduction in partner commissions as a result of the impact of an accounting change in the fourth quarter of 2021, which required a shift from gross revenue presentation to net revenue presentation for one customer.

2 Average number of SaaS accounts represents the number of active Consumer-Directed Health, COBRA, and billing accounts on our SaaS platforms in the U.S.

Payment processing revenue increased $2.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 and $4.6 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to cardholder growth and increased cardholder spend volumes.

Account servicing revenue increased $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $22.7 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to increased revenues recognized as a result of the benefitexpress Acquisition along with account growth and increased participants, offset in part by a reduction of revenue resulting from one-time COBRA related services provided as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act legislation during 2021.

Finance fee revenue was not material to Health and Employee Benefit Solutions’ operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Other revenue increased $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $12.9 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were due primarily to interest income earned on the investment of HSA deposits obtained as a result of the April 2021 acquisition of contractual rights to serve as custodian to certain HSAs from Bell Bank.

NM - Not meaningful

2 Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. The decreases during the second quarter and first half of 2022 in segment adjusted operating income margin primarily reflect the reduction in COBRA revenue and profit from the prior year related to services we provided as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act legislation.

Cost of services

Processing costs increased $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $23.5 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases in processing costs primarily resulted from increased costs as a result of the benefitexpress Acquisition along with higher customer service and technology costs to support partner growth.

Service fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. The increases for both periods were primarily driven by a growth in revenue volumes and for the first half of 2022, additionally by the benefitexpress Acquisition.

Provision for credit losses and operating interest were not material to Health and Employee Benefit Solutions’ operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the first half of 2022 increased $1.5 million, as compared with the comparable prior year period, due to the amortization of a developed technology intangible asset associated with the benefitexpress Acquisition. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2022 remained consistent with the same period in the prior year.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million for the second quarter 2022 and $4.9 million for the first half of 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases in both the second quarter and first half of 2022 were primarily due to increased professional service fees. Increased compensation related costs have also contributed to the increase in expense for the first half of 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses increased $3.2 million and $6.3 million during the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the benefitexpress Acquisition, expansion of the sales and marketing team and costs incurred related to an in-person sales conference, which was held virtually in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the amortization of intangible rights obtained as a result of the April 2021 acquisition of contractual rights to serve as custodian of certain HSAs. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2022 remained consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Unallocated corporate expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses represent the portion of expenses relating to general corporate functions, including acquisition and divestiture expenses, certain finance, legal, information technology, human resources, administrative and executive expenses, and other expenses not directly attributable to a reportable segment.

The following table compares line items within operating income for unallocated corporate expenses:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)				Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2022		2021		Amount		Percent		2022		2021		Amount		Percent

Depreciation and amortization	$	489	$	517	$	(28)	(5)	%	$	1,011	$	1,056	$	(45)	(4)	%

General and administrative expenses decreased $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $2.7 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases in expense for the second quarter and first half of 2022 were due primarily to a reduction in professional fees, including legal and arrangement fees, that were incurred in connection with the amendment and restatement of our 2016 Credit Agreement during the second quarter of 2021. The decrease for the first half of 2022 was in part offset by increased stock compensation expense and professional services fees incurred in connection with the Company’s Investor Day held during the first quarter of 2022.

Unallocated depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was comparable to the same periods in the prior year.

Non-operating income and expense

Financing interest expense decreased $4.2 million for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the early redemption of the Company’s $400.0 million senior notes with a fixed rate of 4.75 percent during March 2021 and the write-off of certain deferred financing costs during 2021 in conjunction with the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2016 Credit Agreement. These decreases were in part offset by increased expense related to the accretion of deferred payments associated with the acquisition of the remaining interest in PO Holding during March 2022.

Table of Contents

Financing interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 remained consistent with the same period in the prior year as the write-off of deferred financing costs and accretion on the deferred payments, both as previously mentioned, substantially offset.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability increased as a result of the steepening of the Federal Funds futures curve. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 13, Fair Value, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the valuation of this derivative liability.

Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company incurred net foreign currency losses of $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $14.4 million in the first half of 2022. The losses resulted from the weakening of certain foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound sterling, in which we transact relative to the U.S. dollar.

The Company incurred unrealized gains on financial instruments of $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $66.7 million for the first half of 2022 due to significant increases in the LIBOR forward yield curve, coupled with a decrease in remaining future settlements. The net unrealized gain on financial instruments for the second quarter and first half of 2021 resulted primarily from an increase in the fair value of new and existing interest rate swaps, primarily as a result of an increase in the LIBOR forward yield curve.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 29.8 percent and 31.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to (7.9) percent and (7.8) percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was adversely impacted by reduced tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was adversely impacted by a discrete tax item of $7.5 million incurred during the first quarter of 2022, primarily associated with an uncertain tax position, in addition to the reduced tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation previously mentioned. Effective tax rates were significantly lower for the same periods in the prior year primarily due to significant excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation in the prior year.

Net income from non-controlling interests was not material to Company operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining non-controlling interest in PO Holding from SBI, reducing the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest to zero. The transaction resulted in a $34.2 million gain, net of tax expense. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 4, Acquisitions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Non–GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures

In addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, the CODM of the Company uses segment adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, to allocate resources among our operating segments. The Company considers this measure, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and other costs integral in evaluating the Company’s performance.

WEX believes that adjusted net income, another non-GAAP measure that similarly excludes all items discussed in the paragraph above except unallocated corporate expenses, and further excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, debt issuance cost amortization, other adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests, and tax related items, is also integral to the Company’s reporting and planning processes.

Segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income may be useful to investors as a means of evaluating our performance. However, because segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income are non-GAAP measures, they should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Specifically, in addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates the Company’s performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:

Table of Contents

•Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and investment securities, helps management identify and assess trends in the Company’s underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with these financial instruments. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial 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 cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations;

•The change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to HSAs, is dependent upon changes in future interest rate assumptions and has no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the Company. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate;

•The Company considers certain acquisition-related costs, including certain financing costs, investment banking fees, warranty and indemnity insurance, certain integration-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles, as well as gains and losses from divestitures to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired or divested 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. The Company believes that excluding acquisition-related costs and gains or losses on divestitures facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in our industry;

•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 the Company is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time;

•Other costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. This also includes costs related to certain identified initiatives, including technology initiatives, to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies, and globalize the Company’s operations, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, other costs additionally include a penalty incurred on a vendor contract termination;

•Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method, which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry;

•The adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests, including adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest, have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the business;

•The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s adjusted net income before taxes as well as the impact from certain discrete tax items. The methodology utilized for calculating the Company’s adjusted net income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating the Company’s GAAP tax provision; and

•The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments, as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund our business operations primarily via cash on hand, cash generated from operations, the issuance of deposits, borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, our participation debt and our accounts receivable factoring and securitization arrangements. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $438.8 million and remaining borrowing availability of $718.4 million under the revolving credit facility provided by our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement along with access to various sources of funds, including uncommitted federal funds lines of credit from other banks.

Table of Contents

Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), senior secured tranche A term loans (the “Tranche A Term Loans”) and senior secured tranche B term loans (the “Tranche B Term Loans”). As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an outstanding principal amount of $917.3 million on the Tranche A Term Loans, an outstanding principal amount of $1,424.0 million on the Tranche B Term Loans, borrowings of $180.4 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit of $31.2 million drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding $310.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Notes, issued in a private placement with Warburg Pincus. At the Company’s option, interest is either payable in cash, through accretion to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, or a combination of cash and accretion. The Company has paid, and expects to continue to pay interest in cash as it comes due.

The Company is also party to two securitized debt agreements. Under these agreements, the Company sells certain of its Australian and European trade accounts receivable to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries consolidated by the Company, which in turn use the receivables as collateral to issue securitized debt. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes. The Company had $102.4 million of securitized debt under these facilities as of June 30, 2022. In addition, from time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. There was $52.2 million borrowed against these participation agreements as of June 30, 2022. WEX Bank also borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. There were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit as of June 30, 2022. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these facilities.

We utilize two off-balance sheet factoring arrangements to sell certain of our accounts receivable to unrelated third-party financial institutions in order to accelerate the collection of the Company’s cash and reduce internal costs. Under the arrangements, the factored receivables have been transferred without recourse. Available capacity is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. However, the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. We are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 11, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.

WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. As of June 30, 2022, we had $3,474.7 million in deposits. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Deposits, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our deposits.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generating capabilities, financial condition and operations, and access to available funding sources will be adequate to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

We fund a customer’s entire receivable in the majority of our fleet and travel payment processing transactions, while the revenue generated by these transactions is only a small percentage of that amount. Consequently, cash flows from operations are impacted significantly by increases or decreases in fuel prices, driving changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, which directly impact our capital resource requirements.

Cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $16.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used for operating activities year over year was primarily the result of higher accounts receivable, net of the associated increases in accounts payable, resulting from a sharp rise in fuel prices during 2022. This use of cash was partly offset by the benefit of higher net income adjusted for non-cash items.

Investing Activities

Investing cash flows generally consist of capital expenditures, cash used for acquisitions and the investment of eligible custodial cash assets previously held by third-party depository partners, transferred to our WEX Bank depository partner.

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $15.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from the investment of $594.3 million of transferred HSA deposits in available-for-sale debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, offset substantially by $558.3 million of payments made for acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows generally consist of the issuance and repayment of debt, deposits and proceeds from employee exercises of stock options and purchases of treasury shares. We believe that the repurchase of our common stock is a favorable means of returning value to our stockholders. Repurchases of our common stock may vary based on management’s evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $793.5 million, due primarily to an increase in deposits of $797.9 million and net borrowings of $60.6 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by $80.6 million of share repurchases of our common stock. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $398.8 million due primarily to an increase in deposits of $451.3 million. The early redemption of the Company’s $400.0 million of Notes during the first half of 2021 was substantially offset by additional term loan borrowings of $80.8 million, net of quarterly repayments, and net borrowings of $265.0 million against our Revolving Credit Facility.

Financial Covenants

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including covenants limiting the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur debt (including disqualified stock), grant liens, make certain investments, pay dividends, repurchase equity interests and sell assets, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary financial maintenance covenants, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. The indenture associated with the Convertible Notes also includes customary covenants, including a debt incurrence covenant that restricts the Company from incurring certain indebtedness, including disqualified stock and preferred stock issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with such covenants. See Part II – Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources and Part II – Item 8 – Note 16, Financing and Other Debt, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information regarding these covenants.

Undistributed Earnings

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to an estimated $150.4 million and $133.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. Upon distribution of the foreign subsidiaries’ earnings in which the Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability, however, it is not expected to be material.

On March 7, 2022, WEX Inc. and SBI entered into the Share Purchase Agreement whereby SBI sold, and WEX Inc. purchased, SBI’s remaining 4.53 percent interest in PO Holding for a purchase price of $234.0 million plus any interest accruing pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.
