WORLD FUEL SERVICES CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies
General
World Fuel Services Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and along with its consolidated subsidiaries is referred to collectively in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("10-Q Report") as "World Fuel," "we," "our" and "us."
We are a leading global fuel services company, principally engaged in the distribution of fuel and related products and services in the aviation, land and marine transportation industries. In recent years, we have expanded our land product and service offerings to include energy advisory services and supply fulfillment for natural gas and power to commercial, industrial and government customers. Our intention is to become a leading global energy management company offering a full suite of energy advisory, management and fulfillment services, technology solutions, payment management solutions, as well as sustainability products and services across the energy product spectrum. We will continue to focus on enhancing the portfolio of products and services we provide based on changes in customer demand, including increasing our sustainability offerings and renewable energy solutions in light of the continued global focus on climate change and the related impacts.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes include our parent company and all subsidiaries where we exercise control, and include the operations of acquired businesses after the completion of their acquisition. The decision of whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2021 10-K Report"). All intercompany transactions among our businesses have been eliminated.
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. The information included in this 10-Q Report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our 2021 10-K Report. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes may not add due to rounding; however, all percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
New Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
During 2022, there have been no accounting standards that, upon adoption, had a material impact on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or processes.
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. In September 2022, ASU 2022-04 was issued to require the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. The amendments do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the rollforward, which should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the provisions in the amendment to conclude if they will have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or processes.
6
Other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted by us are not expected, upon adoption, to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or processes.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2021 10-K Report. The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2021 10-K Report.

When we extend credit on an unsecured basis, our exposure to credit losses depends on the financial condition of our customers and macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as global economic conditions or adverse impacts in the industries we serve, changes in oil prices and political instability.
We actively monitor and manage our credit exposure and work to respond to both changes in our customers' financial conditions or macroeconomic events. Based on the ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, we adjust credit limits based upon payment history and our customers' current creditworthiness. However, because we extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers, there is a possibility that any accounts receivable not collected may ultimately need to be written off.
We had accounts receivable, net of $3.2 billion and $2.4 billion and an allowance for expected credit losses, primarily related to accounts receivable, of $17.6 million and $29.8 million, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Changes to the expected credit loss provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include global economic outlook considerations as a result of the Company's assessment of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. Write-offs of uncollectible receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted principally from pre-existing financial difficulties experienced by certain customers. Based on an aging analysis as of September 30, 2022, 96% of our accounts receivable were outstanding less than 60 days.
The following table sets forth activities in our allowance for expected credit losses (in millions):

Receivable Purchase Agreements
We have receivable purchase agreements ("RPAs") that allow for the sale of our qualifying accounts receivable in exchange for cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin, depending on the outstanding accounts receivable at any given time. Accounts receivable sold under the RPAs are accounted for as sales and excluded from Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fees paid under the RPAs are recorded within Interest expense and other financing costs, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we sold receivables under the RPAs with an aggregate face value of $9.9 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively, and recognized fees of $29.4 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

3. Acquisitions
2022 Acquisition
On October 28, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest in Flyers Energy Group, LLC ("Flyers"). Flyers' operations include transportation, commercial fleet fueling, lubricants distribution, and the supply of wholesale, branded and renewable fuels.
The acquisition closed on January 3, 2022 for total estimated consideration of $792.2 million, subject to customary adjustments relating to net working capital, indebtedness and transaction expenses. At closing, $642.7 million, inclusive of $19.7 million for estimated net working capital adjustments, was paid in cash and, at the election of the Company, $50.0 million was satisfied through the delivery of 1,768,034 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $28.28 per share. The remaining $100.0 million was held back to satisfy potential indemnification and other obligations of the seller, with one-half to be released on the first and second anniversary of the closing of the acquisition, in each case subject to reduction in respect to amounts claimed under the Purchase Agreement. The total purchase consideration also included a receivable of $0.5 million from the seller for estimated working capital adjustments. During the second quarter, the working capital adjustments were updated and as a result the working capital payable to seller increased to $2.3 million, which was paid on July 1, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and is reported in the land segment.
The purchase price allocation was finalized during the third quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes the fair value of the aggregate consideration as well as the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

(1)Identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consist of customer and network relationships and other identifiable assets which will be amortized over a weighted average life of 11.6 years.
(2)Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization include trademarks and trade names acquired.
(3)Includes the recognition of right of use assets of $45.0 million and lease liabilities of $46.0 million.
(4)Goodwill is attributable primarily to the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the acquired operations with the operations of our land segment. We anticipate that all of the goodwill assigned to the land segment will be deductible for tax purposes.

Total revenue and income before income taxes of Flyers included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the period from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2022 were $2.7 billion and $56.7 million, respectively.
The following presents unaudited pro forma combined financial information of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as if the acquisition of Flyers had been completed on January 1, 2021 (in millions):

Revenue | $ | 9,071.9 | $ | 23,212.9 | |||||||
Net income attributable to World Fuel | $ | 36.7 | $ | 90.2 |
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was based on the historical financial information of World Fuel and Flyers and includes (i) incremental amortization expense to be incurred based on the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired; (ii) additional interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings under our Credit Facility to finance the acquisition; (iii) nonrecurring transaction costs recognized in connection with the transaction; and (iv) the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments as well as the recognition of income tax expense associated with Flyers' historical statements, calculated using statutory tax rates, as Flyers was comprised of limited liability companies not subject to federal and state income taxes prior to the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not necessarily reflect what the combined company's financial condition or results of operations would have been had the transaction and the related financing occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the transaction. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue synergies that may result from the transaction, or the costs to achieve any such synergies.
2021 Acquisition
On October 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of a liquid fuel business which services business and residential customers for a total purchase price of $41.4 million. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination and is reported in our land segment.

5. Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to a variety of risks including but not limited to, changes in the prices of commodities that we buy or sell, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and the creditworthiness of each of our counterparties. While we attempt to mitigate these fluctuations through hedging, such hedges may not be fully effective.
Our risk management program includes the following types of derivative instruments:
Fair Value Hedges. Derivative contracts we hold to hedge the risk of changes in the price of our inventory.
Cash Flow Hedges. Derivative contracts we execute to mitigate the risk of price and interest rate volatility in forecasted transactions.
9
Non-designated Derivatives. Derivatives we primarily transact to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in swaps or futures contracts, as well as certain forward fixed price purchase and sale contracts to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations and for portfolio optimization.
With the exception of the interest rate swap agreement, which matures in March 2025, the majority of our derivative contracts are expected to settle within the next year. The following table summarizes the gross notional values of our derivative contracts used for risk management purposes (in millions):

8. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on their short-term maturities. The carrying values of our debt and notes receivable approximate fair value as these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates, which are not significantly different from market rates. The fair value measurements for our debt and notes receivable are considered to be Level 2 measurements based on the fair value hierarchy.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

For our derivative contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a counterparty's rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary, or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net the fair value of cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.
We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. The following tables summarize those derivative balances subject to the right of offset as presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not present any amounts gross on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where we had the right of offset.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our individual over-the-counter ("OTC") counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. At September 30, 2022, one of our counterparties with a total exposure of $103.3 million represented over 10% of our credit exposure to OTC derivative counterparties, for which we held cash collateral of $51.4 million from the counterparty.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of nonrecurring assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs were not material as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Flyers assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured and recorded at their acquisition date fair values during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions.

9. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following table presents our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by major geographic areas in which we conduct business (in millions):

(1) Includes revenue from derivatives, leases, and other transactions that we account for under separate guidance.
The nature of the receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers and other revenues (excluded from ASC 606) are substantially similar, as they are both generated from transactions with the same type of counterparties (e.g., separate fuel sales and storage lease with the same counterparty) and are entered into utilizing the same credit approval and monitoring procedures for all customers. As such, we believe the risk associated with the cash flows from the different types of receivables is not meaningful to separately disaggregate the accounts receivable balance presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the contract assets and contract liabilities recognized by the Company were not material.
10. Income Taxes
Our income tax provision and the respective effective income tax rates are as follows (in millions, except for income tax rates):

2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Effective income tax rate | 30.1 | % | 30.9 | % | 19.3 | % | 26.1 | % |
18
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 includes a discrete income tax benefit of $1.5 million, net, of which a benefit of $3.1 million relates to the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded against the deferred tax assets of one of our foreign subsidiaries, reduced by a net tax expense of $1.5 million related to other worldwide tax adjustments. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the provision includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $1.1 million primarily related to adjustments resulting from tax return filings in several worldwide jurisdictions reduced by other tax reserve provisions.
Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes a discrete income tax benefit of $13.3 million, net, of which a benefit of $9.4 million relates to the reversal of valuation allowances previously recorded against the deferred tax assets of two of our foreign subsidiaries and $7.3 million relates to the remeasurement of an uncertain tax position and expiration of statute of limitation periods for one of our foreign subsidiaries, reduced by a net tax expense of $3.4 million related to other worldwide tax adjustments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the provision includes net discrete income tax benefits of $4.5 million related to the impact of a change in the United Kingdom's tax rate and $1.6 million related to an adjustment for the final purchase price allocation on the sale of the Multiservice payment solutions business, reduced by a net discrete tax expense of $1.2 million related to tax reserve provisions, adjustments related to the filing in several worldwide jurisdictions, and other worldwide tax adjustments.
Our income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rates for the 2022 and 2021 years, respectively. The actual effective income tax rate for the 2022 year may be materially different for several reasons including differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned.
We have various tax returns under examination both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The most material of these is in Denmark for the 2013 - 2019 tax years. One of our subsidiaries in Denmark has been under audit for its 2013 - 2015 tax years since 2018 and was notified in March 2021 that its 2016 - 2019 tax years were also under examination. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have received final tax assessments for the 2013 and 2014 tax years that were immaterial and a proposed tax assessment for the 2015 tax year of approximately $12.7 million (DKK 96.1 million). In April 2022, we received a proposed tax assessment for the 2016 and 2017 tax years of approximately $17.6 million (DKK 133.8 million) and $20.5 million (DKK 155.5 million), respectively. We believe these assessments are without merit and are vigorously defending against the actions. We have not yet received any proposed assessments related to the 2018 - 2019 tax years, which could be materially larger than the previous assessments if a similar methodology is applied.
In March 2022, we received a proposed settlement for the 2011 to 2014 tax years of the Korea branch of one of our subsidiaries related to income tax assessment notices received in 2017 totaling $7.8 million (KRW 11.3 billion) and revised in 2021 to $7.4 million (KRW 10.6 billion). The proposed settlement reduced the total South Korean assessment for the 2011 to 2014 tax years to approximately $1.4 million (KRW 2.0 billion), including tax, interest, and penalties. We agreed to the proposed settlement in the second quarter of 2022.
The U.S. IRS examination for our 2019 tax year was closed in June 2022, without any adjustments. We have not yet received notification that the examinations of our 2017 and 2018 tax years are closed but do not anticipate any changes from what we previously agreed in March 2022.
An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows in the quarter or year in which the adjustments are recorded, or the tax is due or paid. As examinations are still in process or have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution or payments that may be required cannot be determined at this time.
11. Business Segments
We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land and marine. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Our operating segments are determined based on the different markets in which we provide products and services, which are defined primarily by the customers (businesses and governmental) and the products and services provided to those customers. As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions, Flyers is reported as part of our land segment subsequent to the acquisition on January 3, 2022. We use Income from operations as our primary measure of profit as we believe it is the most meaningful measure to allocate resources and assess the performance of our segments.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims. For example, in December 2021, judgments were entered against one of our subsidiaries in the Singapore High Court in companion actions filed by a financing bank of two of our subsidiary’s suppliers. Each of the claims arose out of a financing arrangement between our subsidiary's supplier and the bank and the resulting judgments, including principal and interest, are in the aggregate amount of approximately $33 million. We believe the claims are without merit, have appealed the judgments and are vigorously defending against the claims.
From time to time, we are also under review by various domestic and foreign tax authorities regarding indirect tax matters and are involved in various challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, South Korea and Brazil, where the amounts in controversy may be material. During 2016 and 2017, the South Korean branch of one of our subsidiaries received assessments totaling approximately $23.8 million (KRW 34.3 billion) from the regional tax authorities of Seoul, South Korea. The assessment primarily consists of fines and penalties for allegedly failing to issue Value Added Tax ("VAT") invoices and report certain transactions during the period 2011-2014. We believe that these assessments are without merit and are currently appealing the actions.
We are also involved in several tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil, relating primarily to a VAT tax known as ICMS. These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest. One of our Brazilian subsidiaries is currently contesting an assessment of approximately $11.4 million (BRL 61.6 million) from the Brazilian tax authorities relating to the ICMS rate used for certain transactions. The assessment primarily consists of interest and penalties. We believe that the assessment is without merit and are pursuing our remedies in the judicial court system.
We have established loss provisions for claims and other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2022, these reserves were not material. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures for that period.
21
Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2021 10-K Report and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 1 - Financial Statements of this 10-Q Report. A reference to a "Note" herein refers to the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 - Financial Statements. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ are disclosed in Item 1A - Risk Factors of our 2021 10-K Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This 10-Q Report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the SEC, press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," "could," "would," "will," "will be," "will continue," "plan," or words or phrases of similar meaning. Specifically, this 10-Q Report includes forward-looking statements regarding (i) the conditions in the aviation, land, and marine markets and their impact on our business, (ii) growth strategies, the impact of fuel prices and our working capital, liquidity, and capital expenditure requirements, (iii) our expectations and estimates regarding tax, legal and accounting matters, including the impact on our financial statements, (iv) our expectations regarding the financial impact and other benefits of previous acquisitions, including estimates of future expenses and our ability to realize estimated synergies, (v) estimates regarding the financial impact of our derivative contracts, (vi) our role in the transition to lower carbon alternatives and the impact of our services on such transition, and (vii) the effects of the continuing recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, or COVID-19, including our expectations about demand, volume, and profitability. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in our SEC filings.
These forward-looking statements are estimates and projections reflecting our best judgment and involve risks, uncertainties or other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Our actual results may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•inflationary pressures and their impact on our customers or the global economy, including sudden or significant increases in interest rates or a global recession;
•customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;
•adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate;
•sudden changes in the market price of fuel or extremely high or low fuel prices that continue for an extended period of time;
•our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from acquired businesses;
•our inability to effectively mitigate certain financial risks and other risks associated with derivatives and our physical fuel products;
•our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and our senior term loan ("Term Loan"), including our financial covenants;
•the impact of cyber and other information security-related incidents;
•changes in the political, economic or regulatory environment generally and in the markets in which we operate, such as the current conflict in Eastern Europe;
23
•greenhouse gas reduction programs and other environmental and climate change legislation adopted by governments around the world, including cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and mandates for renewable energy, each of which could increase our operating and compliance costs as well as adversely impact our sales of fuel products;
•changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;
•non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;
•non-performance of third-party service providers;
•our ability to meet financial forecasts associated with our operating plan;
•lower than expected cash flows and revenues, which could impair our ability to realize the value of recorded intangible assets and goodwill;
•the availability of cash and sufficient liquidity to fund our working capital and strategic investment needs;
•currency exchange fluctuations;
•our ability to effectively leverage technology and operating systems and realize the anticipated benefits;
•failure to meet fuel and other product specifications agreed with our customers;
•our ability to achieve the expected level of benefit from our restructuring activities and cost reduction initiatives;
•environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;
•reputational harm from adverse publicity arising out of spills, environmental contamination or public perception about the impacts on climate change by us or other companies in our industry;
•risks associated with operating in high-risk locations, including supply disruptions, border closures and other logistical difficulties that arise when working in these areas;
•uninsured or underinsured losses;
•seasonal variability that adversely affects our revenues and operating results, as well as the impact of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires;
•declines in the value and liquidity of cash equivalents and investments;
•our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;
•changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws, interpretations of such laws, changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions, or adverse results of tax audits, assessments, or disputes;
•our failure to generate sufficient future taxable income in jurisdictions with material deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards;
•the impact of the U.K.'s exit from the European Union, known as Brexit, on our business, operations and financial condition;
•our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanction programs and environmental matters;
•our ability to effectively manage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of the impact of the pandemic on ours and our customers' sales, profitability, operations and supply chains;
•the outcome of litigation and other proceedings, including the costs associated in defending any actions; and
•other risks, including those described in Item 1A - Risk Factors in our 2021 10-K Report, and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information,
24
future events, or otherwise. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this report that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this 10-Q Report will be deemed to modify or supersede such forward-looking statements.
For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land, and marine. For additional discussion on our reportable segments, see "Reportable Segments" under Part I, Item 1. Business in our 2021 10-K Report. Selected financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 11. Business Segments.
Aviation Segment
Our aviation segment has benefited from growth in our fuel and related services offerings, as well as our improving logistics capability and the geographic expansion of our aviation fueling operations into additional international airport locations. As part of our growth strategy, we have also increased the level of inventory that we hold for strategic reasons at certain locations. While we generally enter into financial derivative contracts to mitigate price risk exposure associated with our inventory, depending on market pricing dynamics we may experience negative impacts on our results, particularly in a market pricing environment experiencing severe backwardation, such as in the first half of 2022, where oil futures forward prices traded at significantly lower levels than the current market price. Our results of operations in our aviation segment have been significantly affected during the last two fiscal years by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the withdrawal of the troops from Afghanistan by the U.S. and NATO that concluded in the third quarter of 2021. However, the relaxation of global travel restrictions in conjunction with higher vaccination distribution and lower COVID-19 case rates has contributed to a substantial recovery in global aviation volumes as compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Land Segment
We believe our land segment is well-positioned to continue growing market share, both organically and through leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions, including Flyers which we acquired in January 2022, serving to further enhance our business to deliver value-added solutions to our land fuel customers. See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information.
In addition, to participate in accelerating the energy transition, we continue to focus on the expansion of our sustainability offerings, including renewable fuel products, and carbon management and renewable energy solutions through World Kinect, our global energy management brand.
Finally, our land segment has also benefited from sales to NATO in Afghanistan in recent years, however, such activity materially declined and ultimately concluded in 2021 in connection with the withdrawal of the U.S. and NATO troops.
Marine Segment
Our marine segment has traditionally benefited from elevated fuel prices and volatility, supply uncertainty, and a constrained credit environment. Beginning in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through 2021, we experienced a material decline in volume and related profitability primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the marine transportation industry. However, throughout 2022, our marine segment has significantly benefited from the constrained credit environment arising from the dramatic increase in global oil prices and higher interest rates, as well as the disruption of traditional supply patterns and related price volatility.
25
Macroeconomic Environment
After being relatively moderate in recent years, inflation in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we do business increased significantly in late 2021 into 2022, primarily driven by supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased commodity prices, which has generally resulted in higher costs in 2022. However, to the extent that a rising cost environment impacts our results, there are typically offsetting benefits either inherent in certain parts of our business or that may result from proactive measures we take to reduce the impact of inflation on our net operating results. These benefits can include higher commodity prices that typically result in a constrained credit environment, often creating favorable market conditions that increase demand for our services, as well as our ability to renegotiate prices due to many of our sales contracts being 12 months or less in duration. Additionally, we take measures to mitigate the impact of increases in fuel prices through comprehensive hedging programs and the use of financial derivative contracts.
For these reasons, the increased cost environment, caused in part by inflation, has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report. However, a significant or prolonged period of high inflation, particularly when combined with rising interest rates due to actions taken by governments to attempt to control inflation, could adversely impact our results if costs, including employee compensation driven by competitive job market conditions, were to increase at a rate greater than the increase in the revenues we generate. Higher interest rates also typically increase the interest expense associated with our credit arrangements with banks and other parties that serve as important sources of liquidity for us, which can therefore negatively impact our results of operations for a particular period.
See Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors – “We extend credit to most of our customers in connection with their purchase of fuel and services from us, and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected if we are unable to collect accounts receivable,” “Changes in the market price of fuel may have a material adverse effect on our business,” “Our business depends on our ability to adequately finance our capital requirements and fund our investments, which, if not available to us, would impact our ability to conduct our operations,” and “Our derivative transactions with customers, suppliers, merchants and financial institutions expose us to price and credit risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business” in our 2021 10-K Report for additional discussion of these risks.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $15.7 billion, an increase of $7.3 billion, or 88%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to higher fuel prices and increased volumes in our aviation, land, and marine segments, as discussed further below.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $322.3 million, an increase of $124.9 million, or 63%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, attributable to increased gross profit of $55.3 million, $53.0 million, and $16.6 million in the land, marine, and aviation segments, respectively, as discussed further below.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $222.0 million, an increase of $66.2 million, or 43%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in operating expenses was partially attributable to increased compensation and employee benefit costs related, in part, to the increase in quarterly gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, the addition of Flyers' operating expenses of $19.7 million, as well as higher general and administrative costs as business activity continues to normalize.
Non-Operating Income (Expense), net. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net non-operating expense of $37.5 million compared to net non-operating expense of $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $28.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, driven by higher interest rates and an increase in sales of accounts receivable under our receivables purchase agreements ("RPAs").
27
Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an income tax expense of $18.9 million, compared to income tax expense of $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $8.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase in our global pre-tax income and differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates. See Note 10. Income Taxes for additional information.

Revenues in our aviation segment were $7.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $3.7 billion, or 103%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by higher average prices and increased volumes. Average jet fuel price per gallon sold increased by 79% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the rise in global oil prices. Total aviation volumes increased by 184 million gallons, or 11%, to 1.8 billion gallons as demand for air travel continued to recover, particularly in the international passenger airline markets.
Our aviation segment gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $129.6 million, an increase of $16.6 million, or 15%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to increased volumes from the continued recovery in demand for air travel as well as an increase in profit contribution from service offerings, partially offset by the reduction in our government-related activity in Afghanistan as a result of the military withdrawal which concluded during the third quarter of 2021.
Income from operations in our aviation segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $57.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit discussed above was offset by a $15.7 million increase in operating expenses driven principally by higher compensation and employee benefit costs as well as higher general and administrative costs, primarily travel and marketing expenses, as business activity continues to normalize.

Revenues in our land segment were $5.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.3 billion, or 88%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was principally driven by higher average prices and the acquisition of Flyers. The average price per gallon, or gallon equivalent sold, increased by 60% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the rise in global energy prices. Total volumes increased by 221.4 million, or 17%, to 1.5 billion gallons or gallon equivalents in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Flyers in January 2022 and increased activity in World Kinect's natural gas and power activities.
Our land segment gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $117.9 million, an increase of $55.3 million, or 88%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to Flyers gross profit of $36.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and stronger performance across our businesses, principally in North America, partially offset by the reduction in our government-related activity in Afghanistan.
In our land segment, income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $22.2 million, an increase of $18.5 million, or 505%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit discussed above was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a result of the acquisition of Flyers as well as higher compensation and employee benefit costs, in addition to higher general and administrative costs, primarily travel and marketing expenses, as business activity continues to normalize.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $45.2 billion, an increase of $23.8 billion, or 111%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to higher fuel prices and increased volumes in our aviation, land, and marine segments, as discussed further below.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $806.7 million, an increase of $233.7 million, or 41%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, attributable to increased gross profit of $134.2 million and $130.0 million in the land and marine segments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $30.4 million in the aviation segment, as discussed further below.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $612.3 million, an increase of $149.6 million, or 32%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in operating expenses was partially attributable to increased compensation and employee benefit costs, the addition of Flyers' operating expenses of $57.2 million, as well as higher general and administrative costs as business activity continues to normalize. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in asset impairment and restructuring charges compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, principally in our land segment.
Non-Operating Income (Expense), net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net non-operating expense of $76.7 million compared to net non-operating expense of $30.7 million the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $46.0 million was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, driven by incremental borrowings related to the Flyers acquisition, higher interest rates, and an increase in sales of accounts receivable under our RPAs.
Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $22.7 million, compared to $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $1.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase of $10.4 million related to higher global pre-tax income, partially offset by an $8.4 million increase in discrete tax benefits, as discussed in Note 10. Income Taxes.

Revenues in our aviation segment were $20.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $11.6 billion, or 137%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by higher average prices and increased volume. Average jet fuel price per gallon sold increased by 88% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total aviation volumes increased by 1.2 billion gallons, or 28%, to 5.3 billion gallons as demand for air travel continued to recover, particularly in the North American and international passenger airline markets.
Our aviation segment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $246.6 million, a decrease of $30.4 million, or 11%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to inventory losses driven by extreme backwardation experienced principally during the second quarter of 2022, together with the reduction in our government-related activity in Afghanistan, which concluded with the military withdrawal during the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by increased volumes and higher profit contribution from service offerings as a result of the continued recovery in demand for air travel.
Income from operations in our aviation segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $58.5 million, a decrease of $55.5 million, or 49%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition to the decrease in gross profit discussed above, income from operations was also impacted by a $25.0 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was driven principally by higher compensation and employee benefit costs as well as higher general and administrative costs, primarily travel and marketing expenses, as business activity continues to normalize.

Revenues in our marine segment were $10.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $4.6 billion, or 83%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was principally driven by a 72% increase in the average price per metric ton of bunker fuel sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, total volumes increased by 0.8 million metric tons, or 6%, to 14.4 million metric tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Our marine segment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $200.0 million, an increase of $130.0 million, or 186%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was principally attributable to the impact of higher bunker fuel prices and market volatility, as well as a constrained credit environment.
Our marine segment income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $124.0 million, an increase of $109.2 million, or 740%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, principally due to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $20.7 million increase in operating expenses driven largely by higher incentive compensation as well as higher general and administrative costs, primarily travel, marketing, and professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity to fund working capital, as well as make strategic investments to further our growth strategy, is a significant priority for us. Our views concerning liquidity are based on currently available information and if circumstances change significantly, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, the future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced, and our liquidity would be adversely affected accordingly.
32
Sources of Liquidity and Factors Impacting Our Liquidity
Our liquidity, consisting principally of cash and availability under our Credit Facility, fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers, changes in fuel prices, as well as our financial performance.
Based on the information currently available, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and available funds from our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, are sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Credit Facility and Term Loan. On April 1, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as further amended by Amendment No. 9 dated July 12, 2022, to amend certain terms and conditions of our Credit Facility, including: (i) increasing the revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion and providing a term loan of $500 million, thereby replacing the existing Term Loan and increasing the total facilities to $2.0 billion; (ii) modifying the pricing of the loans, including the reference rates for various currencies to reflect the discontinuation of LIBOR; (iii) extending the maturity to April 1, 2027; and (iv) modifying certain financial and other covenants to provide greater operating flexibility. Our availability under our Credit Facility is limited by, among other things, our consolidated total leverage ratio, which is defined in the Credit Agreement and is based, in part, on our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation, with such adjustments as specified therein, for the four immediately preceding fiscal quarters. The Credit Facility generally limits the total amount of indebtedness we may incur to a consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 4.75 to 1.
As a result of the foregoing, as well as other covenants and restrictions contained in our Credit Facility, our availability under the Credit Facility may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loan could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and our Term Loan, trigger cross-defaults under certain other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Receivables Purchase Agreements. We also have accounts receivable programs under RPAs that allow us to sell a specified amount of qualifying accounts receivable and receive cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin, which varies based on the outstanding accounts receivable at any given time. The RPAs provide the constituent banks with the ability to add or remove customers from these programs in their discretion based on, among other things, the level of risk exposure the bank is willing to accept with respect to any particular customer. The fees the banks charge us to purchase the receivables from these customers can also be impacted for these reasons. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we sold receivables under the RPAs with an aggregate face value of $9.9 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively. See Note 2. Accounts Receivable for additional information.
Future Uses of Liquidity
Cash is primarily used to fund working capital to support our operations as well as for strategic acquisitions and investments. There were no material changes in our expected future uses of liquidity from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022. For a discussion of these matters, refer to Item 7 - Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2021 10-K Report.
Cash Flows
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions). For additional details, please see the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $229.3 million, compared to $223.3 million net cash provided during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $6.0 million increase in operating cash flows was principally attributable to an increase in net income

(see “Results of Operations” for further details of the drivers impacting our net income) adjusted for noncash items (primarily related to unrealized derivative activity and depreciation) of $164.7 million, which was partially offset by the impacts of the overall increase in volumes as well as higher average fuel prices in 2022. The increased prices and volumes compared to the prior year negatively impacted our inventory costs, increased both our accounts receivable and our accounts payable, and also drove an increase in our derivative-related activity and transaction tax payments. These negative impacts on our operating cash flow were partially offset by an increase in sales of accounts receivable under our RPA programs (as discussed under “Sources of Liquidity and Factors Impacting Our Liquidity” above) and an increase in customer deposits.
Investing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $699.2 million, compared to net cash used of $9.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by $641.7 million net cash paid for the acquisition of Flyers, as discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions, and $56.2 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was principally due to capital expenditures of $28.3 million, partially offset by $25.0 million received from the sale of a business.
Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $115.0 million compared to net cash used of $70.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to net borrowings under our Credit Facility of $199.4 million, primarily driven by incremental borrowings related to the acquisition of Flyers and increased working capital requirements, partially offset by $48.7 million in purchases of our common stock and dividend payments of $22.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by common stock repurchases of $24.4 million, dividend payments on our common stock of $21.2 million and net repayments of debt under our Credit Facility of $16.2 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The significant accounting policies used are disclosed in Item 15 - Financial Statement Schedules, Note 1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 10-K report.
We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes as of the date of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Estimates disclosed in our 2021 10-K report.
Impairment Assessments of Goodwill, Long-Lived Assets, and Equity Investments
We assess accounting estimates that require consideration of forecasted financial information. Significant judgment is involved in performing these estimates as they are developed based on forecasted assumptions. As of September 30, 2022, the assumptions used in these assessments, particularly the expected growth rates, the profitability embedded in the projected cash flows provided by our legacy and newly acquired businesses, the discount rate and the market-based multiples, were defined based on available information considering current market volatility and geopolitical risks.
Based on the assessments performed, and supported by the available information as of September 30, 2022, we concluded that the carrying value of our long-lived assets and equity investments were recoverable and that the fair value of our land and aviation reporting units were not less than their respective carrying values. If our results differ significantly from our assumptions, such impact could potentially result in impairments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposures to commodity price, interest rate, or foreign currency risk since December 31, 2021. Please refer to our 2021 10-K Report for a complete discussion of our exposure to these risks.
For information about our derivative instruments at their respective fair value positions as of September 30, 2022, see Note 5. Derivative Instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Part II — Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are under review by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters and are involved in various inquiries, audits, challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, Brazil, Denmark, South Korea and the U.S. where the amounts under controversy may be material. See Note 10. Income Taxes and Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies within this 10-Q Report as well as Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies and Note 11. Income Taxes within Part IV. Item 15 - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 10-K Report for additional details regarding certain tax matters.
We are also a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and administrative claims. We are not currently a party to any such claim, complaint or proceeding that we expect to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular reporting period could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures for that period. See Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The following table presents information with respect to repurchases of common stock made by us during the periods presented (in thousands, except average price paid per share):

(1) These amounts include shares purchased as part of our publicly announced programs and shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy the required withholding taxes related to share-based payment awards, which are not deducted from shares available to be purchased under publicly announced programs.
(2) In March 2020, the Board approved a stock repurchase program authorizing $200.0 million in common stock repurchases (the "2020 Repurchase Program"). Our repurchase programs do not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, have no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2022, approximately $147.1 million remains available for purchase under the 2020 Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the 2020 Repurchase Program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.
