Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $0.6 million and foreign exchange losses of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are recorded within other (income) expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million and $1.5 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Derivatives

With its acquisition of Cambridge Global Payments ("Cambridge") in August 2017, the Company uses derivatives to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments by writing derivatives to customers, which are not designated as hedging instruments. The majority of this business' revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, this business also writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for its customers to facilitate future payments. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. The Company aggregates its foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including forwards, options and spot exchanges of currency, and hedges (economic hedge) the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. The changes in fair value related to these contracts are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company recognizes all derivatives in "prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "other current liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The update requires significant additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted for years beginning after December 15, 2016. Since the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued additional interpretive guidance, including new accounting standards updates, that clarifies certain points of the standard and modifies certain requirements.

Table of Contents

The Company has performed a review of the requirements of the new revenue standard and is monitoring the activity of the FASB and the transition resource group as it relates to specific interpretive guidance. The Company established an implementation team to assess the effects of the new revenue standard in a multi-phase approach. In the first phase, the Company is analyzing customer contracts for its most significant contract categories, applied the five-step model of the new standard to each contract category and comparing the results to our current accounting practices. The second phase, which includes quantifying the potential effects identified during the first phase, assessing additional contract categories and principal versus agent considerations, revising accounting policies and considering the effects on related disclosures and/or internal control over financial reporting is ongoing as of the end of the third quarter.

The new standard could change the amount and timing of revenue and expenses to be recognized under certain of our arrangement types. In addition, it could also increase the administrative burden on our operations to account for customer contracts and provide the more expansive required disclosures. More judgment and estimates may be required within the process of applying the requirements of the new standard than are required under existing GAAP, such as identifying performance obligations in contracts, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in transaction price, allocating transaction price to each separate performance obligation and estimating expected customer lives. The Company has not completed its assessment or quantified the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, related disclosures and/or its internal control over financial reporting. This assessment will occur over the remainder of the calendar year and will include evaluating the application of the principal vs. agent cost to obtain a contract guidance. However, the Company's preliminary view is that the expected amount and timing of revenue to be recognized under ASU 2014-09 for its most significant contract categories, fuel card payments, corporate payments, toll payments, lodging payments and gift cards, will be similar to the amount and timing of revenue recognized under our current accounting practices. The Company also may be required to capitalize additional costs to obtain contracts with customers, and, in some cases, may be required to amortize these costs over a contractual time period. Finally, the Company expects disclosures about its revenues and related customer acquisition costs will be more extensive.

The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018. The Company will apply the modified retrospective transition method, which would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. Under this method, the Company would not restate the prior financial statements presented, therefore the new standard requires the Company to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. This ASU also requires disclosures to provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements; however, we expect to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for our operating leases in the consolidated balance sheet upon adoption.

Accounting for Breakage

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, “Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities: Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products”, which requires entities that sell prepaid stored value products redeemable for goods, services or cash at third-party merchants to derecognize liabilities related to those products for breakage. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU must be adopted using either a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption or a full retrospective approach. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Cash Flow Classification

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments", which amends the guidance in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This amended guidance reduces the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented but may apply it prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash", which amends the guidance in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is evaluating what impact if any the adoption of this ASU will have on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on Step 1). The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, unless a goodwill impairment is identified.

Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business", which amends the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs. The guidance is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, however it could result in accounting for acquisitions as asset acquisitions versus business combinations upon adoption.

Accounting for Modifications to Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting", which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The guidance is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815. The FASB issued accounting guidance to better align hedge accounting with a company’s risk management activities, simplify the application of hedge accounting and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

2. Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains a $950 million revolving trade accounts receivable Securitization Facility. Accounts receivable collateralized within our Securitization Facility relate to our U.S. trade receivables resulting from charge card activity. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FleetCor Funding LLC (Funding) a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding sells, without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $950 million of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold to the Conduit. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.

The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of financing to reduce its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement that reflects assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair values on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, (in thousands).

Total cash equivalents	$	282,358	$	—	$	282,358	$	—

The Company has highly-liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements, money markets and certificates of deposit. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. The value of money market instruments is the financial institutions' month-end statement, as these instruments are not tradeable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value. Foreign exchange derivative contracts are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's derivatives is derived with reference to a valuation from a derivatives dealer operating in an active market, which the Company accepts as the fair value of these instruments. The fair value represents what would be received and or paid by the Company if the contracts were terminated as of the reporting date. Cash collateral received for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within customer deposits in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2017. Cash collateral paid for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within cash and cash equivalents in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2017.

The level within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement technique are reviewed quarterly. Transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the periods presented for 2017 and 2016.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are evaluated with periodic testing for impairment include property, plant and equipment, investments, goodwill and other intangible assets. Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are generally developed using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), discounted as appropriate, management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See footnote 13 for discussion of Masternaut's other than temporary decline in fair value during the third quarter of 2017.

The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that

reset on a quarterly basis. These are each Level 2 fair value measurements, except for cash, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement.

4. Stockholders' Equity

On February 4, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Program") under which the Company may purchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its common stock over the following 18 month period. On July 27, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $250 million and an extension of the Program by an additional 18 months. On November 1, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $350 million, resulting in total aggregate repurchases authorized under the Program of $1.1 billion. With the increase and giving effect to the Company's $590.1 million of previous repurchases, the Company may repurchase up to $510 million in shares of its common stock at any time prior to February 1, 2019.

Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess. Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.

On August 3, 2017, as part of the Program, the Company entered an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement ("ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $250 million of its common stock. Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, the Company delivered $250 million in cash and received 1,491,647 shares based on a stock price of $142.46 on August 7, 2017. The ASR Agreement was completed on September 7, 2017, at which time the Company received 263,012 additional shares based on a final weighted average per share purchase price during the repurchase period of $142.48.

The Company accounted for the ASR Agreement as two separate transactions: (i) as shares of reacquired common stock for the shares delivered to us upon effectiveness of the ASR Agreement and (ii) as a forward contract indexed to the Company's common stock for the undelivered shares. The initial delivery of shares was included in treasury stock at cost and results in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The forward contracts indexed to our own common stock met the criteria for equity classification, and these amounts were initially recorded in additional paid-in capital and then reclassified to treasury stock upon completion of the ASR agreement.

Since the beginning of the Program, 4,114,104 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $590.1 million have been repurchased. There were 2,854,959 shares totaling $402.4 million repurchased under the Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has Stock Incentive Plans (the Plans) pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options or restricted stock to employees.

11. Segments

The Company reports information about its operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to segments. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in two reportable segments, North America and International. The Company began reporting its results from Cambridge acquired in the third quarter of 2017 in its North America segment for Cambridge's business in the United States and Canada and within its International segment for Cambridge's business in all other countries outside of the United States and Canada. The Company is continuing to evaluate the allocation of Cambridge results to its reporting units and segments. The results of operations from the fuel card business acquired in Russia are included within our International segment, from the date of acquisition. There were no inter-segment sales.

The Company’s segment results are as follows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 (in thousands):

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas, and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, legal proceedings). Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.

Shareholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits

On June 14, 2017, a shareholder filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock between February 5, 2016 and May 2, 2017. On October 13, 2017, the shareholder filed an amended complaint asserting claims on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common stock between February 4, 2016 and May 3, 2017. The complaint alleges that the defendants made false or misleading statements regarding fee charges and the reasons for its earnings and growth in certain press releases and other public statements in violation of the federal securities laws. Plaintiff seeks class certification, unspecified monetary damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

and misleading public statements concerning the Company’s fee charges, and financial and business prospects; and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties through allegedly improper sales of stock. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and compensation by the defendants, restitution, costs, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On August 18, 2017, the court entered an order deferring the case pending a ruling on the defendants' motion to dismiss the putative shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. The defendants dispute the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.

Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, the Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from the matters described above.

13. Asset Dispositions

Telematics Businesses

As part of the Company's plan to exit the telematics business, on July 27, 2017, the Company sold NexTraq, a U.S. fleet telematics business, to Michelin Group for $316 million. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the disposal of NexTraq of $175.0 million during the third quarter of 2017, which is net of transaction closing costs. The Company recorded tax on the gain of disposal of $65.8 million. The gain on the disposal is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. NexTraq has historically been included in the Company's North America segment.

On September 30, 2017, the Company entered into an amended Masternaut investment agreement that resulted in the loss of significant influence, and the Company began accounting for the Masternaut investment by applying the cost method.

The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of its investment and during the third quarter of 2017, the Company determined that the fair value of its 44% investment in Masternaut had declined as a result of the Company's loss of significant influence due to the amendment of the Masternaut investment agreement, executed September 30, 2017. As a result, the Company determined that the carrying value of its investment exceeded its fair value, and concluded that this decline in value was other than temporary. The Company recorded a $44.6 million impairment loss in the Masternaut investment that includes adjustment for $31.4 million of currency losses previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

14. Derivative Financial Instruments

As a result of the Cambridge acquisition, the Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises that are customers and derives a currency spread from this activity, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2017. Derivative transactions include:


•	Forward contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a currency at a contract price and will be settled in cash.


•	Option contracts, which gives the purchaser, the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell within a specified time a currency at a contracted price that may be settled in cash.


•	Swap contracts, which are commitments to settlement in cash at a future date or dates, usually on an overnight basis.

The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty against limits at the individual counterparty level. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties' ability to perform. These actions may include requiring customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, the possible termination of the related contracts. The Company does not designate any of its foreign exchange derivatives as hedging instruments in accordance with ASC 815.

The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of foreign exchange derivative customer contracts held by the Company as of September 30, 2017 (in millions) is presented in the table below. Notional amounts do not reflect the netting of offsetting trades, although these offsetting positions may result in minimal overall market risk. Aggregate derivative notional amounts can fluctuate from period to period in the normal course of business based on market conditions, levels of customer activity and other factors.



	Net Notional
Foreign exchange contracts:
Swaps	$	272.8
Futures, forwards and spot	3,174.1
Written options	1,338.6
Purchased options	1,765.0
Total	$	6,550.5

The majority of customer foreign exchange contracts are written in major currencies such as the U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Euro and Australian Dollar.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 (in millions):



	Derivative Assets			Derivative Liabilities
	Fair Value			Fair Value
Derivatives - undesignated:
Over the counter	$	111.2		$	105.8
Exchange traded	—			0.4
Foreign exchange contracts	111.2			106.2
Cash collateral	(33.9		)	(20.3		)
Total net derivative assets and liabilities	$	77.3		$	85.9

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted to present the Company's net exposure with these counterparties. The Company recognizes all derivative assets in prepaid expense and other current assets and all derivative liabilities in other current liabilities, both net at the customer level as right of offset exists, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The gain or loss on the fair value is recognized immediately within other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2017, $150.7 million derivative assets and $70.9 million derivative liabilities were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

General Business

Fleetcor is a leading global provider of commercial payment solutions. We primarily go to market with our fuel card payments product solutions, corporate payments products, toll products, lodging cards and gift cards. Our products are used in 53 countries around the world, with our primary geographies in the U.S., Brazil and the U.K., which accounted for approximately 92% of our revenue in 2016. Our core products are primarily sold to businesses, retailers, major oil companies and marketers and government entities. Our payment programs enable our customers to better manage and control their commercial payments, card programs, and employee spending and provide card-accepting merchants with a high volume customer base that can increase their sales and customer loyalty. We also provide a suite of fleet related and workforce payment solution products, including mobile telematics services, fleet maintenance management and employee benefit and transportation related payments. In 2016, we processed approximately 2.2 billion transactions on our proprietary networks and third-party networks (which includes approximately 1.3 billion transactions related to our SVS product, acquired with Comdata). We believe that our size and scale, geographic reach, advanced technology and our expansive suite of products, services, brands and proprietary networks contribute to our leading industry position.

We provide our payment products and services in a variety of combinations to create customized payment solutions for our customers and partners. We collectively refer to our suite of product offerings as workforce productivity enhancement products for commercial businesses. We sell a range of customized fleet and lodging payment programs directly and indirectly to our customers through partners, such as major oil companies, leasing companies and petroleum marketers. We refer to these major oil companies, leasing companies, petroleum marketers, value-added resellers (VARs) and other referral partners with whom we have strategic relationships as our “partners.” We provide our customers with various card products that typically function like a charge card to purchase fuel, lodging, food, toll, transportation and related products and services at participating locations. While we refer to companies with whom we have strategic relationships as "partners", our legal relationships with these companies are contractual, and do not constitute legal partnerships.

We support our products with specialized issuing, processing and information services that enable us to manage card accounts, facilitate the routing, authorization, clearing and settlement of transactions, and provide value-added functionality and data, including customizable card-level controls and productivity analysis tools. In order to deliver our payment programs and services and process transactions, we own and operate proprietary “closed-loop” networks through which we electronically connect to merchants and capture, analyze and report customized information in North America and internationally. We also use third-party networks to deliver our payment programs and services in order to broaden our card acceptance and use. To support our payment products, we also provide a range of services, such as issuing and processing, as well as specialized information services that provide our customers with value-added functionality and data. Our customers can use this data to track important business productivity metrics, combat fraud and employee misuse, streamline expense administration and lower overall workforce and fleet operating costs. Depending on our customers’ and partners’ needs, we provide these services in a variety of outsourced solutions ranging from a comprehensive “end-to-end” solution (encompassing issuing, processing and network services) to limited back office processing services.

Executive Overview

We operate in two segments, which we refer to as our North America and International segments. Our revenue is reported net of the wholesale cost for underlying products and services. In this report, we refer to this net revenue as “revenue.” See “Results of Operations” for additional segment information. We report our results from Cambridge acquired in the third quarter of 2017 in our North America segment for Cambridge's business in the United States and Canada and within our International segment for Cambridge's business in all other countries outside of the United States and Canada. We are continuing to evaluate the

allocation of Cambridge results to our reporting units and segments. As part of our plan to exit the telematics business, on July 27, 2017, we sold NexTraq, a U.S. fleet telematics business, which has historically been included in our North America segment.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our North America and International segments generated the following revenue (in millions):



	Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,

Revenues, net, Net Income and Net Income Per Diluted Share. Set forth below are revenues, net, net income and net income per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts).



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share. Set forth below are adjusted revenues, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts).



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Unaudited)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Adjusted revenues	$	550,190	$	456,212	$	1,556,857	$	1,237,838
Adjusted net income	$	202,769	$	183,310	$	574,795	$	478,959
Adjusted net income per diluted share	$	2.18	$	1.92	$	6.12	$	5.03

We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants that participate in certain of our card programs. The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate. Thus, we believe this is an effective way to evaluate our revenue performance on a consistent basis. We use adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted revenues, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Sources of Revenue

Transactions. In both of our segments, we derive revenue from transactions. As illustrated in the diagram below, a transaction is defined as a purchase by a customer. Our customers include holders of our card products and those of our partners, for whom we manage card programs, members of our proprietary networks who are provided access to our products and services and commercial businesses to whom we provide workforce payment productivity solutions. Revenue from transactions is derived from our merchant and network relationships, as well as our customers and partners. Through our merchant and network relationships we primarily offer fuel cards, corporate cards, virtual cards, purchasing cards, T&E cards, gift cards, stored value payroll cards, vehicle maintenance, food, fuel, toll and transportation cards and vouchers and lodging services to our customers.

The following diagram illustrates a typical transaction flow, for our fuel card, vehicle maintenance, lodging and food, toll and transportation card and voucher products. This illustration is not applicable to all of our businesses.

Table of Contents

Illustrative Transaction Flow

From our customers and partners, we derive revenue from a variety of program fees, including transaction fees, card fees, network fees and charges, which can be fixed fees, cost plus a mark-up or based on a percentage discount from retail prices. Our programs include other fees and charges associated with late payments and based on customer credit risk.

From our merchant and network relationships, we derive revenue mostly from the difference between the price charged to a customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant or network for the same transaction, as well as network fees and charges in certain businesses. As illustrated in the table below, the price paid to a merchant or network may be calculated as (i) the merchant’s wholesale cost of the product plus a markup; (ii) the transaction purchase price less a percentage discount; or (iii) the transaction purchase price less a fixed fee per unit.

The following table presents an illustrative revenue model for transactions with the merchant, which is primarily applicable to fuel based product transactions, but may also be applied to our vehicle maintenance, lodging and food, fuel, toll and transportation card and voucher products, substituting transactions for gallons. This representative model may not include all of our businesses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total transactions increased from 497.5 million to 679.1 million, an increase of 181.6 million transactions, or 37%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total transactions increased from 1,447.6 million to 2,124.1 million, an increase of 676.4 million transactions, or 47%. North American segment transactions increased approximately 8% and 7% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2016, respectively, due primarily to growth in our SVS and fuel card businesses. Transaction volumes in our international segment increased by 120% and 253% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2016, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of STP and Travelcard during the third quarter of 2016.

¹Other includes telematics, maintenance, food, and transportation related businesses.

² Pro forma and macro adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as revenues, net adjusted for the impact of the macroeconomic environment and acquisitions and dispositions and other one-time items. We use pro forma and macro adjusted revenue as a basis to evaluate our organic growth. See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of pro forma and macro adjusted revenue by product, non-GAAP measures, to the GAAP equivalent.

³2017 is adjusted to remove the impact of changes in the macroeconomic environment to be consistent with the same period of prior year, using constant fuel prices, fuel price spreads and foreign exchange rates.

⁴2016 is pro forma to include acquisitions and exclude dispositions consistent with 2017 ownership.

⁵2016 and YTD 2017 transactions reflect immaterial corrections from previously disclosed amounts for the prior period.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Revenue per transaction is derived from the various revenue types as discussed above and can vary based on geography, the relevant merchant relationship, the payment product utilized and the types of products or services purchased, the mix of which would be influenced by our acquisitions, organic growth in our business, and the overall macroeconomic environment, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, fuel prices and fuel spread margins. Revenue per transaction per customer changes as the level of services we provide to a customer increases or decreases, as macroeconomic factors change and as adjustments are made to merchant and customer rates. See “Results of Operations” for further discussion of transaction volumes and revenue per transaction.

Sources of Expenses

We incur expenses in the following categories:

•

Merchant commissions—In certain of our card programs, we incur merchant commissions expense when we reimburse merchants with whom we have direct, contractual relationships for specific transactions where a customer purchases products or services from the merchant. In the card programs where it is paid, merchant commissions equal the difference between the price paid by us to the merchant and the merchant’s wholesale cost of the underlying products or services.


•	Processing—Our processing expense consists of expenses related to processing transactions, servicing our customers and merchants, bad debt expense and cost of goods sold related to our hardware sales in certain businesses.


•	Selling—Our selling expenses consist primarily of wages, benefits, sales commissions (other than merchant commissions) and related expenses for our sales, marketing and account management personnel and activities.

•

General and administrative—Our general and administrative expenses include compensation and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for our executives, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal and other administrative personnel. Also included are facilities expenses, third-party professional services fees, travel and entertainment expenses, and other corporate-level expenses.

•

Depreciation and amortization—Our depreciation expenses include depreciation of property and equipment, consisting of computer hardware and software (including proprietary software development amortization expense), card-reading equipment, furniture, fixtures, vehicles and buildings and leasehold improvements related to office space. Our amortization expenses include amortization of intangible assets related to customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, software and non-compete agreements. We are amortizing intangible assets related to business acquisitions and certain private label contracts associated with the purchase of accounts receivable.


•	Other operating, net—Our other operating, net includes other operating expenses and income items unusual to the period and presented separately.

•

Investment loss (income)—Our investment results relate to our minority interest in Masternaut, a provider of telematics solutions to commercial fleets in Europe, which we historically accounted for using the equity method. On September 30, 2017, we entered into an amended Masternaut investment agreement that resulted in the loss of significant influence, and we began accounting for the Masternaut investment by applying the cost method.


•	Other expense (income), net—Our other expense (income), net includes foreign currency transaction gains or losses, proceeds/costs from the sale of assets and other miscellaneous operating costs and revenue.


•	Interest expense, net—Our interest expense, net includes interest income on our cash balances and interest expense on our outstanding debt and on our Securitization Facility. We have historically invested our cash primarily in short-term money market funds.


•	Loss on extinguishment of debt—Loss on extinguishment of debt relates to our write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our existing credit facility.


•	Provision for income taxes—Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of corporate income taxes related to profits resulting from the sale of our products and services in the United States and internationally.

Factors and Trends Impacting our Business

We believe that the following factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance:

•

Fuel prices—Our fleet customers use our products and services primarily in connection with the purchase of fuel. Accordingly, our revenue is affected by fuel prices, which are subject to significant volatility. A change in retail fuel prices could cause a decrease or increase in our revenue from several sources, including fees paid to us based on a percentage of each customer’s total purchase. Changes in the absolute price of fuel may also impact unpaid account balances and the late fees and charges based on these amounts. See “Sources of Revenue” above for further information related to the absolute price of fuel.

•

Fuel-price spread volatility—A portion of our revenue involves transactions where we derive revenue from fuel-price spreads, which is the difference between the price charged to a fleet customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant for the same transaction. In these transactions, the price paid to the merchant is based on the wholesale cost of fuel. The merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel is dependent on several factors including, among others, the factors described above affecting fuel prices. The fuel price that we charge to our customer is dependent on several factors including, among others, the fuel price paid to the merchant, posted retail fuel prices and competitive fuel prices. We experience fuel-price spread contraction when the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel increases at a faster rate than the fuel price we charge to our customers, or the fuel price we charge to our customers decreases at a faster rate than the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel. See “Sources of Revenue” above for further information related to fuel-price spreads.

•

Acquisitions—Since 2002, we have completed over 75 acquisitions of companies and commercial account portfolios. Acquisitions have been an important part of our growth strategy, and it is our intention to continue to seek opportunities to increase our customer base and diversify our service offering through further strategic acquisitions. The impact of acquisitions has, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations and may make it difficult to compare our results between periods.


•	Interest rates—Our results of operations are affected by interest rates. We are exposed to market risk to changes in interest rates on our cash investments and debt.


•	Global economic conditions—Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, both in North America and internationally. Factors affected by the economy include our transaction volumes and the credit risk of our customers. These factors affected our businesses in both our North America and International segments.

•

Foreign currency changes—Our results of operations are significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency rates; namely, by movements of the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Euro, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar and Russian ruble, relative to the U.S. dollar. Approximately 63% and 72% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, was derived in U.S. dollars and was not affected by foreign currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information related to foreign currency impact on our total revenue, net.


•	Expenses— Over the long term, we expect that our general and administrative expense will decrease as a percentage of revenue as our revenue increases. To support our expected revenue growth, we plan to continue to incur additional sales and marketing expense by investing in our direct marketing, third-party agents, internet marketing, telemarketing and field sales force.

Acquisitions and Investments

On August 9, 2017, we acquired Cambridge Global Payments (“Cambridge”), a leading business to business (B2B) international payments provider, for approximately $584.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $132.3 million and inclusive of a note payable of $23.9 million. Cambridge processes B2B cross-border payments, assisting business clients in making international payments to suppliers and employees. The purpose of this acquisition is to further expand our corporate payments footprint.

On September 26, 2017, we acquired a fuel card provider in Russia. On October 13, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Creative Lodging Solutions ("CLS"), a small lodging tuck-in business.

During 2016, we completed acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $1.30 billion, net of cash acquired of $51.3 million, which includes deferred payments made during the period related to prior year acquisitions of $6.1 million.

•

In August 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of STP for $1.23 billion, net of cash acquired of $40.2 million. STP is an electronic toll payments company in Brazil and provides cardless fuel payments at a number of Shell sites throughout Brazil. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our presence in the toll market in Brazil. We financed the acquisition using a combination of existing cash and borrowings under our credit facility.


•	During 2016, we acquired additional fuel card portfolios in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, additional Shell fuel card markets in Europe and Travelcard in the Netherlands totaling $76.7 million, net of cash acquired of $11.1 million.


•	During 2016, we made additional investments of $7.9 million related to our investment in Masternaut. We also received a $9.2 million return of our investment in Masternaut.

We report our results from Cambridge acquired in the third quarter of 2017 in our North America segment for Cambridge's business in the United States and Canada and within our International segment for Cambridge's business in all other countries outside of the United States and Canada. We are continuing to evaluate the allocation of Cambridge results to our reporting units and segments. The results of operations from the fuel card business in Russia are included within our International segment, from the date of acquisition. The results of operations from the fuel card portfolio acquired in the U.S. are included within our North America segment, from the date of acquisition. The results of operations of STP, the fuel card portfolio in the United Kingdom, the additional Shell markets, the Travelcard business in the Netherlands and the small business in Brazil are included within our International segment, from the date of acquisition.

on the disposal is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. NexTraq has historically been included in our North America segment.

On September 30, 2017, we entered into an amended Masternaut investment agreement that resulted in the loss of significant influence, and we began accounting for the Masternaut investment by applying the cost method.

We regularly evaluate the carrying value of our Masternaut investment and during the third quarter of 2017, we determined that the fair value of our 44% investment in Masternaut had declined as a result of our loss of significant influence due to the amendment of the Masternaut investment agreement, executed September 30, 2017. As a result, we determined that the carrying value of our investment exceeded its fair value, and concluded that this decline in value was other than temporary. We recorded a $44.6 million impairment loss in the Masternaut investment that includes adjustment for $31.4 million of currency losses previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues increased from $484.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $577.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $93.5 million, or 19.3%. The increase in our consolidated revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of acquisitions during 2016 and 2017, which contributed approximately $58 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 8% on a constant fuel price, fuel spread margin, foreign currency and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.

Table of Contents

•

Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a favorable impact on our consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016 of approximately $4 million. This was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates in Brazil and the United Kingdom in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $10 million.

North America segment revenues

North America revenues increased from $345.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $364.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $18.6 million, or 5.4%. The increase in our North America segment revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of our Cambridge acquisition during the third quarter of 2017, which contributed approximately $12 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 5%, on a constant fuel price, fuel spread margin and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.


•	Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our North America segment revenue in three months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016 of approximately $2 million, primarily due to the impact of lower fuel spread margins.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $10 million.

International segment revenues

International segment revenues increased from $138.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $213.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $74.9 million, or 54.0%. The increase in our International segment revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of acquisitions during 2016 and 2017, which contributed approximately $46 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 12% on a constant macroeconomic and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.

•

Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a positive impact on our International segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016 of approximately $6 million. Changes in foreign exchange rates and fuel price had favorable impacts on consolidated revenues of approximately $4 million and $2 million, respectively.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commissions. Merchant commissions decreased from $28.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $27.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 1.9%. This decrease was primarily due to the fluctuation of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel.

Processing. Processing expenses increased from $96.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $111.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $15.1 million, or 15.6%. Increases in processing expenses were primarily due to expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $14 million and the impact of foreign exchange rates and incremental spend due to increases in volume. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $3 million and lower bad debt expense of approximately $2 million.

Selling. Selling expenses increased from $34.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $45.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $10.9 million, or 31.8%. Increases in spending were primarily due to ongoing incremental expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $9 million, additional spending in certain lines of business and the impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $1 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased from $77.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $92.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $14.1 million, or 18.1%. The increase was primarily due to ongoing expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $10 million, increased stock based compensation expense of approximately $7 million and the impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $1 million.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased from $57.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $69.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $12.1 million, or 21.1%. The increase was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $13 million, incremental expense related to capitalized development of software and the impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $2 million.

Investment loss. Investment loss was $47.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of our Masternaut investment and during the third quarter of 2017, we determined that the fair value of our 44% investment in Masternaut had declined as a result of our loss of significant influence due to the amendment of the Masternaut investment agreement, executed September 30, 2017. As a result, we determined that the carrying value of our investment exceeded its fair value, and concluded that this decline in value was other than temporary. We recorded a $44.6 million impairment loss in the Masternaut investment that includes adjustment for $31.4 million of currency losses previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, in the three months ended September 30, 2017, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. There was also a non-recurring net recovery of purchase price of approximately $11 million during the second quarter of 2016.

Other (income) expense, net. Other income, net was $175.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to other expense, net of $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to the pre-tax gain on the sale of our Nextraq business of $175 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense increased from $17.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $29.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $11.5 million, or 64.7%. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the impact of additional borrowings to finance the acquisitions of STP and Travelcard completed during the third quarter of 2016 and Cambridge completed during the third quarter of 2017, and increases in LIBOR. The following table sets forth the average interest rates paid on borrowings under our Credit Facility, excluding the related unused credit facility fees.



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(Unaudited)	2017		2016
Term loan A	2.98	%	1.99	%
Term loan B	3.32	%	3.75	%
Domestic Revolver A	2.99	%	2.08	%
Foreign Revolver A	2.00	%	1.77	%
Foreign swing line	1.97	%	1.73	%

The average unused credit facility fee for Domestic Revolver A was 0.35% and 0.30% in the three month period ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.3 million relates to our write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our existing credit facility during the third quarter of 2017.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $40.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $124.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $84.1 million, or 207.2%. We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on an estimate of our effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in the estimate of the annual tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate increased from 23.9% for three months ended September 30, 2016 to 38.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The 2017 tax rate was impacted by the gain on sale of the NexTraq business of $175 million, all at the higher U.S. tax rate, and the Masternaut impairment charge in the quarter, which had no corresponding tax benefit. Our tax rate in the quarter was 29.4%, excluding the impact of the NexTraq sale, investment impairment and loss on extinguishment of debt. The 2016 tax rate was favorably impacted by a one-time nonrecurring net gain at our Masternaut investment that favorably impacted pre-tax earnings, but was not subject to income tax. The 2016 rate was also favorably impacted by higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation in the third quarter of 2016 versus the third quarter of 2017.

We pay taxes in many different taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., most U.S. states and many non-U.S. jurisdictions. The tax rates in certain non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions are lower than the U.S. tax rate. Consequently, as our earnings fluctuate between taxing jurisdictions, our effective tax rate fluctuates. Also, the excess tax benefit on share based compensation is part

Table of Contents

of the effective tax rate. As a result, the tax rate is impacted by the number of stock options exercised or restricted shares vested during the reporting period.

Net income. For the reasons discussed above, our net income increased from $129.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $202.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $73.2 million, or 56.5%.

Operating income increased from $191.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $232.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $41.6 million, or 21.8%. Our operating margin was 39.4% and 40.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 and organic growth, as well as the positive impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $4 million, driven primarily by favorable fuel prices and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact of higher amortization and depreciation expense related to acquisitions of STP and Travelcard completed in the third quarter of 2016 and Cambridge completed in the third quarter of 2017, additional stock based compensation of approximately $7 million and the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $4 million.

For the purpose of segment operating results, we calculate segment operating income by subtracting segment operating expenses from segment revenue. Segment operating margin is calculated by dividing segment operating income by segment revenue.

North America segment operating income. North America operating income increased from $135.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $138.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3.0 million, or 2.2%. North America operating margin was 39.3% and 38.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to organic growth and the positive impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $1 million, driven by favorable fuel prices. These increases were partially offset by additional stock based compensation of approximately $6 million, the negative impact of higher amortization and depreciation expense related to our acquisition of Cambridge in the third quarter of 2017 and the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $4 million.

International segment operating income. International operating income increased from $55.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $93.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $38.6 million, or 69.8%. International operating margin was 39.9% and 44.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2016 and organic growth, as well as the positive impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $3 million, driven primarily by favorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The higher operating margin was driven by the positive impact of process improvements in our recently acquired STP business, offset by higher amortization and depreciation expense related to acquisitions of STP and Travelcard completed in the third quarter of 2016 and additional stock based compensation expense of approximately $1 million.

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues increased from $1,316.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1,639.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $323.0 million, or 24.5%. The increase in our consolidated revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of acquisitions during 2016 and 2017, which contributed approximately $175 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 9% on a constant fuel price, fuel spread margin, foreign currency and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.


•	Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a positive impact on our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period

Table of Contents

in 2016 of approximately $17 million. We believe the favorable impact of higher fuel prices and fuel spread margins, primarily in the U.S., had a favorable impact on consolidated revenues of approximately $22 million. Conversely, changes in foreign exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on consolidated revenues of approximately $5 million due to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates primarily in Brazil and the United Kingdom in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $10 million.

North America segment revenues

North America revenues increased from $950.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1,037.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $86.8 million, or 9.1%. The increase in our North America segment revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of our Cambridge acquisition during the third quarter of 2017, which contributed approximately $12 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 8%, on a constant fuel price, fuel spread margin and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.


•	Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a positive impact on our North America segment revenue in nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016 of approximately $19 million. This was primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in fuel prices and slightly higher fuel spread margins.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $10 million.

International segment revenues

International segment revenues increased from $366.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $602.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $236.1 million, or 64.5%. The increase in our International segment revenue was primarily due to:


•	The impact of acquisitions during 2016 and 2017, which contributed approximately $163 million in additional revenue.


•	Organic growth of approximately 10% on a constant macroeconomic and pro forma basis, driven by increases in both volume and revenue per transaction in certain of our payment programs.

•

Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our International segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016 of approximately $2 million. This was primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of higher fuel prices.

Consolidated operating expenses

Merchant commissions. Merchant commissions increased from $78.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $82.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an an increase of $3.9 million, or 5.0%. This increase was primarily due to the fluctuation of the margin between the wholesale cost and retail price of fuel and the impact of higher volume in certain revenue streams where merchant commissions are paid.

Processing. Processing expenses increased from $256.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $316.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $59.7 million, or 23.2%. Increases in processing expenses were primarily due to expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $45 million, inclusive of incremental bad debt expense of $11 million, as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of negotiated lower vendor processing costs. The increase in bad debt was primarily due to bad debt inherent in the acquired STP business. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $3 million.

Selling. Selling expenses increased from $92.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $122.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $30.2 million, or 32.6%. Increases in spending were primarily due to ongoing expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $19 million and additional spending in certain lines of business. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $1 million.

Table of Contents

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased from $209.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $275.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $66.0 million, or 31.5%. The increase was primarily due to ongoing expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $28 million, increased stock based compensation expense of approximately $19 million and increases in other professional fees of approximately $7 million. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $1 million.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased from $141.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $198.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $56.9 million, or 40.1%. The increase was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017 of approximately $39 million and incremental expense related to capitalized development of software. These increases were partially offset by the impact of disposition of the NexTraq business of approximately $2 million.

Investment loss (income). Investment loss was $52.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to investment income of $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of our Masternaut investment and during the third quarter of 2017, we determined that the fair value of our 44% investment in Masternaut had declined as a result of our loss of significant influence due to the amendment of the Masternaut investment agreement, executed September 30, 2017. As a result, we determined that the carrying value of our investment exceeded its fair value, and concluded that this decline in value was other than temporary. We recorded a $44.6 million impairment loss in the Masternaut investment that includes adjustment for $31.4 million of currency losses previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other (income) expense, net. Other income, net was $173.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to other expense, net of $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to the pre-tax gain on the sale of our Nextraq business of $175 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense increased from $49.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $76.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $26.4 million, or 52.9%. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the impact of additional borrowings to finance the acquisitions of STP and Travelcard completed during the third quarter of 2016 and Cambridge completed during the third quarter of 2017, and increases in LIBOR. The following table sets forth the average interest rates paid on borrowings under our Credit Facility, excluding the related unused credit facility fees.



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Unaudited)	2017		2016
Term loan A	2.74	%	1.96	%
Term loan B	3.28	%	3.75	%
Domestic Revolver A	2.78	%	2.00	%
Foreign Revolver A	2.01	%	1.77	%
Foreign swing line	1.97	%	1.73	%

The average unused credit facility fee for Domestic Revolver A was 0.35% and 0.30% in the nine month period ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.3 million relates to our write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our existing credit facility during the third quarter of 2017.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $132.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $227.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $95.3 million, or 71.9%. We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on an estimate of our effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in the estimate of the annual tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate was 33.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 27.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the provision for income taxes was due primarily to the pretax gain on sale of the Nextraq business of $175 million at the higher U.S. tax rate, all at the higher U.S. tax rate, and the Masternaut impairment charge in the quarter, which had no corresponding tax benefit. The 2016 tax rate was favorably impacted by a one-time nonrecurring net gain at our Masternaut investment that favorably impacted pre-tax earnings, but was not subject to income tax. The 2016 rate was also favorably impacted by higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation in 2016 versus 2017.

Net income. For the reasons discussed above, our net income increased from $357.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $457.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $100.5 million, or 28.2%.

Operating income and operating margin

Consolidated operating income. Operating income increased from $538.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $643.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $105.6 million, or 19.6%. Our operating margin was 40.9% and 39.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017, organic growth, as well as the positive impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $14 million, driven primarily by favorable fuel prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact of higher amortization and depreciation expense related to acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017, additional bad debt expense of $11 million, due to bad debt inherent in the acquired STP business, additional stock based compensation of approximately $19 million and the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $4 million.

North America segment operating income. North America operating income increased from $367.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $394.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $27.4 million, or 7.5%. North America operating margin was 38.6% and 38.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to organic growth and the positive impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $18 million, driven by primarily by higher fuel prices. These increases were partially offset by additional stock based compensation of approximately $14 million, additional bad debt expense of approximately $4 million, the negative impact of higher amortization and depreciation expense related to our acquisition of Cambridge in the third quarter of 2017 and the disposition of the NexTraq business in July 2017 of approximately $4 million.

International segment operating income. International operating income increased from $171.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $249.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $78.1 million, or 45.7%. International operating margin was 46.7% and 41.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the impact of acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2017, organic growth. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact of higher amortization and depreciation expense related to acquisitions of STP and Travelcard completed in the third quarter of 2016, additional bad debt expense of $9 million, due to bad debt inherent in the acquired STP business, additional stock based compensation of approximately $5 million and the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment of approximately $4 million, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to service and repay our indebtedness, make acquisitions of businesses and commercial account portfolios, repurchase shares of our common stock and meet working capital needs, tax and capital expenditure needs.

Sources of liquidity

At September 30, 2017, our cash balances totaled $1,018.3 million, with approximately $183.5 million restricted. Restricted cash represents customer deposits in the Czech Republic and in our Comdata business in the U.S., which we are restricted from using other than to repay customer deposits.

At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries where we have determined we are permanently reinvested is $509.3 million. All of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries, excluding restricted cash, are available for general corporate purposes. Our current intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. Our current expectation for funds held in our foreign subsidiaries is to use the funds to finance foreign organic growth, to pay for potential future foreign acquisitions and to repay any foreign borrowings that may arise from time to time. We currently believe that funds generated from our U.S. operations, along with available borrowing capacity in the U.S. will be sufficient to fund our

Table of Contents

U.S. operations for the foreseeable future, and therefore do not foresee a need to repatriate cash held by our foreign subsidiaries in a taxable transaction to fund our U.S. operations. However, if at a future date or time these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S. or we otherwise believe it is in our best interests to repatriate all or a portion of such funds, we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. No assurances can be provided as to the amount or timing thereof, the tax consequences related thereto or the ultimate impact any such action may have on our results of operations or financial condition.

We utilize an accounts receivable Securitization Facility to finance a majority of our domestic fuel card receivables, to lower our cost of borrowing and more efficiently use capital. We generate and record accounts receivable when a customer makes a purchase from a merchant using one of our card products and generally pay merchants before collecting the receivable. As a result, we utilize the Securitization Facility as a source of liquidity to provide the cash flow required to fund merchant payments while we collect customer balances. These balances are primarily composed of charge balances, which are typically billed to the customer on a weekly, semimonthly or monthly basis, and are generally required to be paid within 14 days of billing. We also consider the undrawn amounts under our Securitization Facility and Credit Facility as funds available for working capital purposes and acquisitions. At September 30, 2017, we had no additional liquidity under our Securitization Facility. At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $612 million available under our Credit Facility.

Based on our current forecasts and anticipated market conditions, we believe that our current cash balances, our available borrowing capacity and our ability to generate cash from operations, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. However, we regularly evaluate our cash requirements for current operations, commitments, capital requirements and acquisitions, and we may elect to raise additional funds for these purposes in the future, either through the issuance of debt or equity securities. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Cash flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions).



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Unaudited)	2017			2016
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	419.5		$	404.3
Net cash used in investing activities	(341.6		)	(1,371.5		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	250.1			976.4

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $404.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $419.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Included in cash flows from operating activities were favorable non-cash adjustments of $151.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Non-cash adjustments were driven primarily by higher depreciation and amortization and an impairment charge in our Masternaut investment, partially offset by the gain on the sale of our Nextraq business in the third quarter of 2017. Also included in cash flows from operating activities were unfavorable working capital adjustments of $189.7 million. Working capital adjustments are primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable period in 2016.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $1,371.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $341.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in cash outlay for acquisitions and the proceeds received from the sale of our Nextraq business during the third quarter of 2017.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $976.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $250.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to an increase in debt repayments of $437.4 million on our credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2016, increased spending to repurchase our common stock of $367 million and a decrease in borrowings of $76.8 million on our credit facility, partially offset by an increase in borrowings of $161 million on our Securitization Facility.

Capital spending summary

Our capital expenditures increased from $41.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $49.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $7.6 million, or 18.1%. This increase is primarily due to increased spending on strategic projects, including continued investment in our operating systems, as well as incremental spending related to acquisitions in 2016 and 2017.

Credit Facility

FleetCor Technologies Operating Company, LLC, and certain of our domestic and foreign owned subsidiaries, as designated co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”), has a $4.33 billion Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and local currency issuer, and a syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lenders”), which has been amended multiple times. The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $1.285 billion, a term loan A facility in the amount of $2.69 billion and a term loan B facility in the amount of $350.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The revolving credit facility consists of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $800 million, with sublimits for letters of credit and swing line loans, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $450 million for swing line loans and multi-currency borrowings and, (c) a revolving C facility in the amount of $35 million for multi-currency borrowings in Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars. On January 20, 2017, we entered into the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, which established a new term B loan. On August 2, 2017, we entered into the third amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the total facility by $708.7 million and extended the terms of the credit facilities. The term A and revolver maturity dates are August 2, 2022 and the term B maturity date is August 2,2024. The term A and revolver pricing remains the same and the term B pricing was reduced by 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 200 basis points. In addition, we pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility.

The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature for borrowing an additional $750 million in term A or revolver A and term B. Proceeds from the Credit Facility may be used for working capital purposes, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.

The term loans are payable in quarterly installments and are due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due on the respective maturity date. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable at our option of one, two, three or nine months after borrowing, depending on the term of the borrowing on the facility. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after such loan is made.

The Credit Facility contains representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this nature. These covenants include limitations on the ability to pay dividends and make other restricted payments under certain circumstances and compliance with certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2017, we had $2,690 million in borrowings outstanding on the term A loan, excluding the related debt discount, $350 million in borrowings outstanding on Term B loan, excluding the related debt discount, $595 million in borrowings outstanding on the domestic revolving A facility, $38 million in borrowings outstanding on the foreign revolving A facility and $40.2 million in borrowings outstanding on the swing line revolving A facility. We have unamortized debt discounts of $6.4 million related to the term A facility and $0.7 million related to the term B facility at September 30, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made principal payments of $388.7 million on the term loans, $715.0 million on the domestic revolving A facility, $89.8 million on the foreign revolving A facility and $52.7 million on the swing line revolving A facility.

Securitization Facility

We are a party to a receivables purchase agreement among FleetCor Funding LLC, as seller, PNC Bank, National Association as administrator, and various purchaser agents, conduit purchasers and related committed purchasers parties thereto, which was amended and restated for the fifth time as of November 14, 2014. We refer to this arrangement as the Securitization Facility. There have been several amendments to the Securitization Facility. The current purchase limit under the Securitization Facility is $950 million and the Securitization Facility expires on November 14, 2017. The Securitization Facility contains certain customary financial covenants. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR or the Commercial Paper Rate of 1.27% plus 0.90% and 0.85% plus 0.90% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.40% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Securitization Facility provides for certain termination events, which includes nonpayment, upon the occurrence of which the administrator may declare the facility termination date to have occurred, may exercise certain enforcement rights with respect to the receivables, and may appoint a successor servicer, among other things.

We were in compliance with the financial covenant requirements related to our Securitization Facility as of September 30, 2017.

Stock Repurchase Program

Table of Contents

On February 4, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Program") under which we may purchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of our common stock over the following 18 month period. On July 27, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $250 million and an extension of the Program by an additional 18 months. On November 1, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $350 million, resulting in total aggregate repurchases authorized under the Program of $1.1 billion. With the increase and giving effect to our $590 million of previous repurchases, we may repurchase up to $510 million in shares of our common stock at any time prior to February 1, 2019.

On August 3, 2017, as part of the Program, we entered an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement ("ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $250 million of its common stock. Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, we delivered $250 million in cash and received 1,491,647 shares based on a stock price of $142.46 on August 7, 2017. The ASR Agreement completed on September 7, 2017, at which time we received 263,012 additional shares based on a final weighted average per share purchase price during the repurchase period of $142.48.

We accounted for the ASR Agreement as two separate transactions: (i) as shares of reacquired common stock for the shares delivered to us upon effectiveness of the ASR Agreement and (ii) as a forward contract indexed to our common stock for the undelivered shares. The initial delivery of shares was included in treasury stock at cost and results in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The forward contracts indexed to our own common stock met the criteria for equity classification, were initially recorded in additional paid-in capital and then reclassified to treasury stock upon completion of the ASR agreement.

Since the beginning of the Program, 4,114,104 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $590 million have been repurchased. There were 2,854,959 shares totaling $402.4 million repurchased under the Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Sale of NexTraq

As part of our plan to exit the telematics business, on July 27, 2017, we sold NexTraq, a U.S. fleet telematics business, to Michelin Group for $316 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain on the disposal of NexTraq of $175 million during the third quarter of 2017, which is net of transaction closing costs.We recorded tax on the gain of disposal of $65.8 million. The gain on the disposal is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. NexTraq has historically been included in the Company's North America segment.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

In applying the accounting policies that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, we necessarily make accounting estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Some of these estimates require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimates. We base these assumptions and the resulting estimates on historical information and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. In many instances, however, we reasonably could have used different accounting estimates and, in other instances, changes in our accounting estimates could occur from period to period, with the result in each case being a material change in the financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations. We refer to estimates of this type as critical accounting estimates.

Accounting estimates necessarily require subjective determinations about future events and conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other than noted in footnote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", we have not adopted any new critical accounting policies that had a significant impact upon our consolidated financial statements, have not changed any critical accounting policies and have not changed the application of any critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2016. For critical accounting policies, refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of our notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included in the discussion above certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Table of Contents

Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors.

Adjusted revenues

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted revenues as revenues, net less merchant commissions as reflected in our income statement.

We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants to participate in our card programs. The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate. We believe that adjusted revenue is an appropriate supplemental measure of financial performance and may be useful to investors to understanding our revenue performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted revenues are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of adjusted revenues to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, revenues, net (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Unaudited)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Revenues, net	$	577,877		$	484,426		$	1,639,547		$	1,316,593
Merchant commissions	(27,687		)	(28,214		)	(82,690		)	(78,755		)
Total adjusted revenues	$	550,190		$	456,212		$	1,556,857		$	1,237,838

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income as net income as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate (a) non-cash stock based compensation expense related to share based compensation awards, (b) amortization of deferred financing costs, discounts and intangible assets, (c) amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, (d) our proportionate share of amortization of intangible assets at our Masternaut investment, (e) a non-recurring net gain at our Masternaut investment (f) impairment of our Masternaut investment, (g) net gain on disposition of business, (h) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (i) a non-recurring loss due to merger of entities.

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income per diluted share as the calculation previously noted divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding as reflected in our statement of income.

We use adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash stock based compensation expense from adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time and stock based compensation expense is not a key measure of our core operating performance. We also believe that amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of their acquired intangible assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired. Therefore, we have excluded amortization expense from our adjusted net income. We also believe one-time non-recurring gains, losses, and impairment charges do not necessarily reflect how our investment and business is performing.We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are appropriate supplemental measures of financial performance and may be useful to investors to understanding our operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Also excludes the net gain realized upon our disposition of NexTraq, representing a pretax gain of $175.0 and tax on gain of $65.8. The tax on the gain is included in "Net gain on disposition of business".

Pro Forma and Macro Adjusted Revenue and Transactions by Product

We define pro forma and macro adjusted revenue as revenue, net as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate the impact of the macroeconomic environment and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. The macroeconomic environment includes the impact that market fuel spread margins, fuel prices and foreign exchange rates have on our business. We use pro forma and macro adjusted revenue and transactions to evaluate the organic growth in our revenue and the associated transactions. Set forth below is a reconciliation of pro forma and macro adjusted revenue and transactions to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, revenue, net and transactions (in millions):*

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about FleetCor's beliefs, expectations and future performance, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project” or “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to many uncertainties and other variable circumstances, such as delays or failures associated with implementation; fuel price and spread volatility; changes in credit risk of customers and associated losses; the actions of regulators relating to payment cards or investigations; failure to maintain or renew key business relationships; failure to maintain competitive offerings; failure to maintain or renew sources of financing; failure to complete, or delays in completing, anticipated new partnership arrangements or acquisitions and the failure to successfully integrate or otherwise achieve anticipated benefits from such partnerships or acquired businesses; failure to successfully expand business internationally; other risks related to our international operations, including the potential impact to our business as a result of the United Kingdom's referendum to leave the European Union; the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations, revenue and income; the effects of general economic and political conditions on fueling patterns and the commercial activity of fleets, risks related to litigation; our ability to complete an accelerated share repurchase, as well as the other risks and uncertainties identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2017 and August 8, 2017, respectively. These factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any such statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

With the acquisition of Cambridge in August 2017, we have additional foreign exchange risk and associated foreign exchange risk management requirements due to the nature of our international payments provider business. The majority of this business' revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, this business also writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for our customers to facilitate future payments. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. Cambridge aggregates its foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges (economic hedge) the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties.

A hypothetical uniform 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies in which our net income is generated would have resulted in a decrease/increase to pre-tax income of approximately $1.5 million based on our unhedged exposure to foreign currency at September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, other than noted above, there have been no material changes to our market risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2017, management carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various pending and potential legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas, and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, legal proceedings). Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.

Shareholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits

On July 10, 2017, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia seeking recovery on behalf of the Company. The derivative complaint alleges that the defendants issued a false and misleading proxy statement in violation of the federal securities laws; that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing or permitting the Company to make allegedly false and misleading public statements concerning the Company’s fee charges, and financial and business prospects; and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties through allegedly improper sales of stock. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and compensation by the defendants, restitution, costs, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On August 18, 2017, the court entered an order deferring the case pending a ruling on the defendants' motion to dismiss the putative shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. The defendants dispute the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.

Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, we are currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from the matters described above.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2017 and August 8, 2017, respectively, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Derivatives Regulations

Rules adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), as well as the provisions of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation and its technical standards, which are directly applicable in the member states of the European Union, have subjected certain of the foreign exchange derivative contracts we offer to our customers as part of Cambridge's business, to reporting, recordkeeping, and other requirements. Additionally, certain foreign exchange derivatives transactions we may enter into in the future may be subject to centralized clearing requirements, or may be subject to margin requirements in the United States and European Union. Other jurisdictions outside the United States and the European Union are considering, have implemented, or are implementing regulations similar to those described above. Derivatives regulations have added costs to our business and any additional requirements, such as future registration requirements and increased regulation of derivative contracts, may result in additional costs or impact the way we conduct our hedging activities, as well as impact how we

Table of Contents

conduct our business within our international payments provider operations. In particular, the CFTC has recently issued a proposed rule that, if adopted as proposed, would increase the likelihood that we will have to register one or more of our subsidiaries with the CFTC as swap dealers. Swap dealers are subject to a comprehensive regulatory framework and compliance with this framework will lead to additional costs, including costs relating to regulatory capital and margin requirements, and may impact how we conduct our hedging activities and derivatives business with customers. We are currently evaluating the impact the proposed rule, if adopted, would have on our hedging activities and operations.

Our compliance with these requirements has resulted, and may continue to result, in additional costs to our business and may impact our international payments provider business operations. Furthermore, our failure to comply with these requirements could result in fines and other sanctions, as well as necessitate a temporary or permanent cessation to some or all of our derivative related activities. Any such fines, sanctions or limitations on our business could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Additionally, the regulatory regimes for derivatives in the United States and European Union, such as under the Dodd-Frank Act and the European Markets in Financial Instruments Directive known as "MiFID II," are continuing to evolve and changes to such regimes, our designation under such regimes, or the implementation of new rules under such regimes, such as future registration requirements and increased regulation of derivative contracts, may result in additional costs to our business. Other jurisdictions outside the United States and the European Union are considering, have implemented, or are implementing regulations similar to those described above and these may result in greater costs to us as well.

Global economic downturns or slower growth or declines in the money transfer, payment service, and other markets in which we operate, including downturns or declines related to interruptions in migration patterns, and difficult conditions in global financial markets and financial market disruptions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The global economy has experienced in recent years, and may experience, downturns, volatility and disruption, and we face certain risks relating to such events, including:


•	Our international payments provider business provides currency conversion and foreign exchange hedging services to our customers, exposing us to foreign currency exchange risk. In order to help mitigate these risks, we enter into derivative contracts. However, these contracts do not eliminate all of the risks related to fluctuating foreign currency rates.

•

Our international payments provider business is heavily dependent on global trade. A downturn in global trade or the failure of long-term import growth rates to return to historic levels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and our cash management strategies. Additionally, as customer hedging activity in our international payments provider business generally varies with currency volatility, we have experienced and may experience in the future lower foreign exchange revenues in periods of lower currency volatility.

•

The counterparties to the derivative financial instruments that we use in our international payments provider business to reduce our exposure to various market risks, including changes in foreign exchange rates, may fail to honor their obligations, which could expose us to risks we had sought to mitigate. This includes the exposure generated when we write derivative contracts to our customers as part of our cross-currency payments business, and we typically hedge the net exposure through offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. That failure could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Risks associated with operations outside the United States and foreign currencies could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We have additional foreign exchange risk and associated foreign exchange risk management requirements due to the nature of our international payments provider business. The majority of this business' revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. Additionally, this business also writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for our customers. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. The credit risk associated with our derivative contracts increases when foreign currency exchange rates move against our customers, possibly impacting their ability to honor their obligations to deliver currency to us or to maintain appropriate collateral with us.

Our international payments provider business aggregates its foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. If we are unable to obtain offsetting positions, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected.

We face credit, liquidity and fraud risks from our agents, consumers, businesses, and third-party processors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to credit risk in our international payments provider business relating to: (a) derivatives written by us to our customers and (b) the extension of trade credit when transactions are paid to recipients prior to our receiving cleared funds from the sending customers. The credit risk associated with our derivative contracts increases when foreign currency exchange rates move against our customers, possibly impacting their ability to honor their obligations to deliver currency to us or

to maintain appropriate collateral with us. If a customer becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, commits fraud or otherwise fails to pay us, we may be exposed to the value of an offsetting position with a financial institution counterparty for the derivatives or may bear financial risk for those receivables where we have offered trade credit.

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with banks needed to conduct our services, or fail to comply with our contract requirements, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows would be adversely affected.

In our international payments provider business, we facilitate payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations. Increased regulation and compliance requirements are impacting these businesses by making it more costly for us to provide our services or by making it more cumbersome for businesses to do business with us. We may also have difficulty establishing or maintaining banking relationships needed to conduct our services due to banks’ policies. If we are unable to maintain our current business or banking relationships or establish new relationships under terms consistent with those currently in place, our ability to continue to offer our services may be adversely impacted, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.



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

On February 4, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Program") under which we may begin purchasing up to an aggregate of $500 million of the Company's common stock over the following 18 month period. On July 27, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $250 million and an extension of the Program by an additional 18 months. On November 1, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $350 million, resulting in total aggregate repurchases authorized under the Program of $1.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program, 4,114,104 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $590 million have been repurchased.
