1. Acquisitions and Significant Accounting Policies
Acquisitions
2014 Acquisitions
On March 7, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum Limited (Watson Petroleum) a leading distributor of gasoline, diesel, heating oil, lubricants and other products and related services. Watson Petroleum is headquartered in Brinkworth, England and is one of the largest fuel distributors in the United Kingdom. In June 2014, we completed an acquisition in our aviation segment which was not material.
The estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2014 acquisitions was $167.0 million, and is subject to change based on the final value of the net assets acquired. The following reconciles the estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2014 acquisitions to the cash paid for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired (in thousands):

The estimated purchase price of the 2014 acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Since the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the 2014 acquisitions have not been finalized, the allocation of the purchase price of these acquisitions may change. The estimated purchase price allocation for the 2014 acquisitions is as follows (in thousands):
Assets acquired:

Upon the completion of the acquisition of Watson Petroleum, we made a payment of £13.0 million ($21.7 million) to an escrow account related to an assumed obligation which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of June 30, 2014, the escrow account balance of £13.0 million ($22.2 million) is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the 2014 acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of $92.1 million in our land segment, none of which is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of $43.6 million of customer relationships and $1.6 million of other identifiable intangible assets with weighted average lives of 4.1 years and 2.0 years, respectively, as well as $5.9 million of indefinite-lived trademark/trade name rights.
The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for 2014 and 2013 as if the 2014 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2013 (in thousands, except per share data):

The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the 2014 acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates and did not have a significant impact on our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except as updated below, the significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 10-K Report.
During the first six months of 2014, we recorded goodwill of $92.1 million in our land segment in connection with the 2014 acquisitions and we increased land segment goodwill by $0.4 million as a result of a reduction in identifiable intangible assets based on our ongoing fair value assessment of certain of our 2013 acquisitions. Additionally, we had goodwill increases of $0.7 million and $0.4 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries in our land and marine segments, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Compensation Stock Compensation. In June 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which includes guidance which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Transfers and Servicing: Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which provides guidance for revenue recognition for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
8
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2014 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Foreign Currency Matters Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries. In March 2013, the FASB issued an ASU aimed at resolving the diversity in practice of accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this ASU resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2014 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Disclosure Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying the guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2014 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Six Months ended June 30, 2013
During the third quarter of 2013, we identified an incorrect cash flow presentation of $17.7 million related to an acquisition payment that was classified as an operating activity versus an investing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We assessed the materiality of this incorrect presentation and concluded it was not material. We have modified the prior period presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows to include this revision.
2. Derivatives
We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (NPNS), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.
The following describes our derivative classifications:
Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.
9
Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.
As of June 30, 2014, our derivative instruments, at their respective fair value positions were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average fixed price and weighted average mark-to-market amount):

We enter into derivative instrument contracts which may require us to periodically post collateral. Certain of these derivative contracts contain clauses that are similar to credit-risk-related contingent features, including material adverse change, general adequate assurance and internal credit review clauses that may require additional collateral to be posted and/or settlement of the instruments in the event an aforementioned clause is triggered. The triggering events are not a quantifiable measure; rather they are based on good faith and reasonable determination by the counterparty that the triggers have occurred. The net liability position for such contracts, the collateral posted and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a contingent feature be triggered is not significant as of June 30, 2014.

4. Shareholders Equity
Stock Repurchase Programs
In May 2014, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program, replacing the remainder of the October 2008 share repurchase program and authorizing the purchase of up to $65.0 million in common stock. The program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2014, we have $65.0 million available to repurchase shares under the share repurchase program.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Our other comprehensive income (loss), consisting of foreign currency translation adjustments related to our subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar and cash flow hedges, was as follows (in thousands):

The foreign currency translation adjustment gains for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real and the British Pound as compared to the U.S. dollar. The foreign currency translation adjustment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Brazilian Real.

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the full 2014 and 2013 fiscal years. The actual effective income tax rate for the full 2014 fiscal year may be materially different as a result of differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Lac-Megantic, Quebec
As previously disclosed in Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 10-K Report, various lawsuits have been filed against us and other third parties related to the July 2013 train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. For additional information regarding legal proceedings related to the train derailment, see our 2013 10-K Report and Part II Item 1 of this 10-Q Report.
We are currently unable to determine the probability of loss, or reasonably estimate a range of potential losses related to the proceedings arising from the train derailment. Accordingly, we have not made any provision for these potential losses in our consolidated financial statements. However, based on estimated losses related to the value of the tank cars involved in the incident, as well as legal costs incurred in connection with the incident, which we believe are probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made, we have recorded total liabilities of $31.6 million. We believe that a substantial portion of these liabilities are covered by insurance and have recorded total receivables of $30.6 million. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining unpaid liabilities of $16.3 million are included primarily in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the remaining uncollected receivable of $24.9 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Other Matters
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, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2014, we had recorded certain reserves which were not significant. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our 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 consolidated financial statements or disclosures for that period.
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.
Executive Non-Renewal Charge
On April 11, 2014, we announced that Paul H. Stebbins would step down as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Board) immediately after the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 29, 2014 (the Effective Time) and the Board would appoint Michael J. Kasbar to the position of Chairman of the Board in addition to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with this transition, the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Stebbins, dated March 14, 2008, as previously amended (the Stebbins Employment Agreement), was further amended in order to reflect (i) the non-renewal of the employment agreement after the expiration date of the current term on January 1, 2015, and (ii) the change in Mr. Stebbins title as a result of his stepping down as Executive Chairman of the Board, effective as of the Effective Time. In addition, the employment agreement between World Fuel and Mr. Kasbar, dated March 14, 2008, as previously amended, was further amended to change his title to Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of the Effective Time.
In May 2014, we recorded a charge totaling $4.8 million in connection with the non-renewal of the Stebbins Employment Agreement. Included in the executive non-renewal charge are non-cash expenses of $1.1 million related to previously awarded stock compensation. The cash portion of the executive non-renewal charge of $3.7 million will be paid in varying specified amounts through December 2016. As of June 30, 2014, $0.8 million of this amount was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $2.9 million was included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan to certain eligible employees, excluding our named executive officers, whereby the participants may defer a portion of their compensation. World Fuel does not match any participant deferrals under the NQDC plan. Participants can elect from a variety of investment choices for their deferred compensation and gains and losses on these investments are credited to their respective accounts. The deferred compensation payable amount under this NQDC plan is subject to the claims of World Fuels general creditors and was $2.2 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which was included other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

8. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. We believe the carrying values of our debt and notes receivable approximate fair value since these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates which are not significantly different than market rates. Based on the fair value hierarchy, our debt of $693.5 million and $463.7 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and our notes receivable of $13.2 million and $20.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are categorized in Level 3.

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 counterpartys rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net 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.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $16.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, we had $2.1 million of cash collateral received from financial counterparties and this amount has been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table. As of December 31, 2013, we have offset $4.7 million of cash collateral received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table.

The nature of inputs that are considered Level 3 are modeled inputs. Commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 are due to the significance of the unobservable model inputs to their respective fair values. The unobservable model inputs, such as basis differentials, are based on the difference between the historical prices of our prior transactions and the underlying observable data as well as certain risk related to non-performance. The effect on our income before income taxes of a 10% change in the model input for non-performance risk would not be significant.
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented. In addition, there were no significant Level 3 settlements, purchases, sales or issuances for the periods presented.
9. Business Segments
Based on the nature of operations and quantitative thresholds pursuant to accounting guidance for segment reporting, we have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Our results of operations include the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum in our land segment commencing on March 7, 2014, its acquisition date. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1).

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2013 10-K Report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 - Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q Report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ significantly from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements are described in Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2013 10-K Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, are 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, will likely result, plan, or words or phrases of similar meaning.
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. The Companys actual results may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our managements expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, effectiveness of internal controls to manage risk, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of fuel from suppliers, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, outcome of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.
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:
· customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;
· changes in the market price of fuel;
· changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;
· our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks and the use of derivatives;
· non-performance by counterparties or customers to derivative contracts;
· changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;
· non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;
· loss of, or reduced sales to a significant government customer;
· non-performance of third-party service providers;
· adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate, including a continuation of the global economic instability and its impact on the airline and shipping industries;
· currency exchange fluctuations;
· failure of fuel and other products we sell to meet specifications;
· our ability to manage growth;
· our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from acquired businesses;
· material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;
· environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;
· the impact of the Lac-Mégantic derailment and related matters;
· risks associated with operating in high risk locations;
· uninsured losses;
· the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes;
· our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) and our senior term loans (Term Loans);
· the liquidity and solvency of banks within our Credit Facility and Term Loans;
· increases in interest rates;
· 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 or changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions;
· our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanction programs and environmental matters;
· increased levels of competition;
· the outcome of litigation and the costs associated in defending any actions; and
· other risks, including those described in Item 1A - Risk Factors in our 2013 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. The forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. 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, future events, or otherwise.
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.

In our marine segment, we offer fuel, lubricants, and related products and services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our land segment, we offer fuel, lubricants and related products and services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and retail, industrial, commercial and government customers and we engage in crude oil marketing activities.
In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, and we do not act as brokers. Profit from our aviation and land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel resales and a percentage of card payment and processing revenue. In our marine segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine segment is determined primarily by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. Our profitability in our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.
Our revenue and cost of revenue are significantly impacted by world oil prices, as evidenced in part by our revenue and cost of revenue fluctuations in previous fiscal years, while our gross profit is not necessarily impacted by changes in world oil prices. However, significant movements in fuel prices during any given financial period can have a significant impact on our gross profit, either positively or negatively depending on the direction, volatility and timing of such price movements.
We may experience decreases in future sales volumes and margins as a result of the ongoing deterioration in the world economy, the decline of the transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America, as well as potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. In addition, because fuel costs represent a significant part of our customers operating expenses, volatile and/or high fuel prices can adversely affect our customers businesses, and, consequently, the demand for our services and our results of operations. Our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk. See Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2013 10-K Report.
Reportable Segments
We have three reportable operating segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to each segment based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. We evaluate and manage our business segments using the performance measurement of income from operations. Financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this 10-Q Report.

Our aviation segment revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $4.4 billion, an increase of $0.7 billion, or 18.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Of the increase in aviation segment revenue, $0.6 billion was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers and $0.1 billion was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold as a result of higher average jet fuel prices in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Our marine segment revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.5 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion, or 10.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Of the decrease in marine segment revenue, $0.7 billion was due to decreased volume in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013, which was partially offset by $0.3 billion due to an increase in the average price per metric ton sold in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Our land segment revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.4 billion, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 21.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in land segment revenue was principally due to revenue from acquired businesses.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $191.5 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 1.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

Our aviation segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $81.8 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 7.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Of the increase in aviation segment gross profit, $12.6 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers, which was partially offset by $6.8 million from lower gross profit per gallon sold principally due to fluctuations in customer mix.
Our marine segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $48.8 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 6.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Of the decrease in marine segment gross profit, $9.1 million was due to decreased volume due to an increase in market competitiveness, which was partially offset by $5.6 million due to increased gross profit per metric ton sold principally due to certain higher margin business activity.
23
Our land segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $60.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 1.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Of the increase in land segment gross profit, $10.9 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses. Partially offsetting this increase was $4.1 million of lower gross profit related to our crude oil marketing activities and $2.4 million from lower gross profit per gallon sold principally due to fluctuations in customer mix. Additionally, a land segment joint venture which generated $2.7 million in gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was deconsolidated effective December 31, 2013 and is not included in our land segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2014.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $131.7 million, an increase of $12.0 million, or 10.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in thousands):
4,618
(1,523
8,887
11,982
The $4.6 million increase in compensation and employee benefits was due to the inclusion of $5.1 million of expenses from acquired businesses and an executive non-renewal charge of $4.8 million related to the non-renewal of the employment agreement of our former Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.3 million principally due to incentive based compensation. The $8.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses was due to $5.7 million due to the inclusion of expenses from acquired businesses and $3.2 million principally related to professional fees and general insurance expenses.
Income from Operations. Our income from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $59.8 million, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 13.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

Our aviation segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $37.2 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 9.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. This increase resulted from $5.8 million in higher gross profit, which was partially offset by increased operating expenses of $2.5 million.
Our marine segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $20.9 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 13.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. This decrease resulted from $3.5 million in lower gross profit, which was partially offset by decreased operating expenses of $0.4 million.
Our land segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $14.4 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 31.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. This decrease resulted from increased operating expenses of $7.5 million, which was partially offset by $0.8 million in higher gross profit.
24
Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the second quarter of 2014 were $12.7 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 22.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Included in corporate overhead costs are $4.8 million related to the executive non-renewal charge, principally offset by a $2.5 million decrease in incentive based compensation.
Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the second quarter of 2014, we had non-operating expenses, net of $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 32.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. This decrease was principally due to a $2.1 million increase in earnings from our equity investments in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in earnings from our equity investments is principally related to the deconsolidation of a land segment joint venture effective December 31, 2013; beginning in 2014, this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.
Income Taxes. For the second quarter of 2014, our effective income tax rate was 18.1% and our income tax provision was $10.2 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.1% and an income tax provision of $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. Although the effective income tax rate did not fluctuate between the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, there were underlying differences in the actual results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different income tax rates.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. For the second quarter of 2014, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.8 million as compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $48.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.68 per common share, a decrease of $0.03 per common share, or 4.2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $57.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.81 per common share, an increase of $0.01 per common share, or 1.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our net income and non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and executive non-renewal charge primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Companys core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and executive non-renewal charge are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period over period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested RSUs outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

This decrease resulted from $2.3 million in lower gross profit, which was partially offset by decreased operating expenses of $0.8 million.
Our marine segment income from operations for the first six months of 2014 was $42.0 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 6.7%, as compared to the first six months of 2013. This increase resulted principally from $2.7 million in higher gross profit.
Our land segment income from operations for the first six months of 2014 was $40.9 million, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 15.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2013. This decrease resulted from increased operating expenses of $15.9 million, which was partially offset by $8.3 million in higher gross profit.

This decrease was principally due to a $2.9 million increase in earnings from our equity investments in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013. The increase in earnings from our equity investments is principally related to the deconsolidation of a land segment joint venture effective December 31, 2013; beginning in 2014, this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.
Income Taxes. For the first six months of 2014, our effective income tax rate was 18.2% and our income tax provision was $21.5 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.8% and an income tax provision of $23.9 million for the first six months of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For additional details, please see the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $102.0 million as compared to $152.3 million for the first six months of 2013. The $50.3 million decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to year-over-year changes in working capital items.
Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $206.8 million as compared to $50.1 million for the first six months of 2013. The $156.7 million increase in cash used in investing activities was principally due to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $208.2 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $41.0 million for the first six months of 2013. The $249.2 million change in cash provided by financing activities was principally due to increased net borrowings under our Credit Facility in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013.
Other Liquidity Measures
Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $396.6 million and $292.1 million, respectively, of which $123.7 million and $39.7 million, respectively, was available for use by our U.S. subsidiaries without incurring additional costs. Our primary uses of cash and cash equivalents are to fund accounts receivable, purchase inventory and make strategic investments, primarily acquisitions. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases; however, certain suppliers require us to either prepay or provide a letter of credit. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.
Credit Facility and Term Loans. We have a Credit Facility which permits borrowings of up to $1.1 billion with a sublimit of $400.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers acceptances. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures in October 2018. We had outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility totaling $425.0 million and $200.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $82.8 million and $7.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We also had $242.5 million in Term Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Our liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers as well as commodity prices. Our Credit Facility and our Term Loans contain certain financial covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans 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 Loans, trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to borrow and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.
Other Credit Lines. Additionally, we have other uncommitted credit lines primarily for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $202.9 million and $150.6 million, respectively. We also have Receivables Purchase Agreements (RPAs) that allow for the sale of up to an aggregate of $325.0 million of our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2014, we had sold accounts receivable of $136.2 million under the RPAs.
Short-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2014, our short-term debt of $14.9 million represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of certain promissory notes related to acquisitions, capital lease obligations and Term Loan borrowings.
We believe that available funds from existing cash and cash equivalents and our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remain sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, to further enhance our liquidity profile, we may choose to raise additional funds which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit or other forms of financing include our financial performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, financing may be limited or unavailable on terms favorable to us.
In May 2014, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program, replacing the remainder of the October 2008 share repurchase program and authorizing the purchase of up to $65.0 million in common stock. The program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2014, we have $65.0 million available to repurchase shares under the share repurchase program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Except for changes in the contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements described below, there were no other material changes from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014. For a discussion of these matters, refer to Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in Item 7 of our 2013 10-K Report.
Contractual Obligations
Derivative Obligations. As of June 30, 2014, our net derivative obligations were $15.7 million, principally due within one year.
Purchase Commitment Obligations. As of June 30, 2014, our purchase commitment obligations were $50.0 million, principally due within one year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed. As of June 30, 2014, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $285.7 million under our Credit Facility and other uncommitted credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and other credit lines, see the discussion in Liquidity and Capital Resources above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Managements 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 SECs 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 June 30, 2014.
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 quarter ended June 30, 2014.
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.
Lac-Mégantic, Quebec
We, on behalf of DPTS Marketing LLC (DPM), a crude oil marketing joint venture in which we own a 50% membership interest, purchased crude oil from various producers in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC (DPTS), a crude oil transloading joint venture in which we also own a 50% membership interest, arranged for the transloading of the crude oil for DPM into tank cars at the joint ventures facility in New Town, North Dakota. We leased the tank cars used in the transloading from a number of third party lessors and subleased these tank cars to DPM. We, on behalf of DPM, contracted with Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) for the transportation of the tank cars and the crude oil from New Town, North Dakota to a customer in New Brunswick, Canada. CPR subcontracted a portion of that route to Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MMA). On July 6, 2013, the freight train operated by MMA with tank cars carrying approximately 50,000 barrels of the crude oil derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. The derailment resulted in significant loss of life, damage to the environment from spilled crude oil and extensive property damage.
In 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of third parties, including MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in twenty complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The complaints generally allege wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil and seek economic and compensatory damages, as well as costs. The actions were removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the IL District Court) and subsequently reassigned to a single judge in the IL District Court (other than one action that was remanded to state court prior to reassignment and another that was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs).
The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to have these actions remanded to state court. We filed a motion in the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the ME District Court), where MMAs bankruptcy is pending, to transfer all of these actions to that court. On March 21, 2014, the ME District Court granted the transfer motion. On April 4, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the order granting the transfer motion and a motion requesting the ME District Court abstain from exercising jurisdiction over the cases. The motion for reconsideration was denied and the motion for abstention remains pending. On May 1, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a notice stating their intention to appeal the order granting the transfer motion to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. On June 17, 2014, the ME District Court entered a consent order staying proceedings in the transferred cases pending the appeal.
We believe these claims against us, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.
In 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of other third parties, including CPR, MMA and certain of its affiliates, several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, as well as the intended purchaser and certain suppliers of the crude oil, were named as defendants in a motion filed in Quebec Superior Court to authorize the bringing of a class-action lawsuit seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs. The motion generally alleges wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil. We believe these claims against us, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.
In 2013, the Quebec Minister for Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks (the Minister) issued an order requiring MMA and us to recover the spilled crude oil caused by the incident and to otherwise fully remediate the impact of the incident on the environment. The Minister subsequently issued a modified order, to which CPR was added as a party. The requirements of the modified order with respect to us are not materially different from the initial order (the initial order and modified order are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Order). We have filed a contestation of the Order before the Tribunal administratif du Québec, an administrative body responsible for hearing such contestations, that challenges the legality and validity of the Order on various grounds.
On January 30, 2014, the Trustee for MMAs bankruptcy estate filed an adversary proceeding against us, and certain of our subsidiaries, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maine alleging negligence in the failure to provide the proper and safe transportation of crude oil, and seeking economic damages, as well as costs and expenses associated with MMAs lawsuits arising from the incident. On May 29, 2014, we and our named subsidiaries filed an answer to the Trustees complaint. We believe these claims against us and certain of our subsidiaries are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.
As a result of the Lac-Mégantic derailment, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation into the cause of the derailment and the events surrounding it. In addition, the Quebec police are conducting a criminal investigation and are reported to be coordinating with Canadian and U.S. law enforcement authorities.
Additional claims, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations and orders may be filed, commenced or issued with respect to the incident, which may involve civil claims for damages or governmental investigative, regulatory or enforcement actions against us.

On May 29, 2014, our Board of Directors renewed the Repurchase Program, replacing the remainder of the October 2008 share repurchase program and authorizing the purchase of up to $65.0 million in common stock. The Repurchase Program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2014, $65.0 million remains available for purchase under the Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.
