August 1, 2019 6:30 AM

Full conversion of large North American oil portfolios completed

PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), a leading provider of corporate payment solutions, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 increased 19% to $441.8 million from $370.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. The $71.0 million revenue increase in the quarter includes a $2.1 million negative impact as a result of lower average fuel prices.

Net income attributable to shareholders on a GAAP basis decreased by $24.6 million to $13.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with $38.4 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. The Company's adjusted net income attributable to shareholders, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $99.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, or $2.28 per diluted share, up 10% per diluted share from $90.0 million or $2.07 per diluted share for the same period last year. See Exhibit 1 for a full explanation and reconciliation of adjusted net income attributable to shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders per diluted share to the comparable GAAP measures.

"During the second quarter, WEX made continued progress in shaping 2019 to be another significant milestone year," said Melissa Smith, WEX's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are capitalizing on the extraordinary progress we have made in recent years and building on our strong foundation for sustainable growth. Our recent strategic acquisitions, significant new wins and the conversion of both the Shell and Chevron portfolios positions us well to accelerate our growth and profitability throughout the remainder of the year and beyond."

Second Quarter 2019 Performance Metrics

Average number of vehicles serviced was approximately 13.9 million, an increase of 18% from the second quarter of 2018.
Total fuel transactions processed increased 10% from the second quarter of 2018 to 153.7 million. Payment processing transactions increased 10% to 128.0 million.
U.S. retail fuel price decreased 4% to $2.91 per gallon from $3.02 per gallon in the second quarter of 2018.
Travel and Corporate Solutions purchase volume grew 13% to $10.0 billion from $8.9 billion in the second quarter of 2018.
Health and Employee Benefit Solutions average number of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) accounts in the U.S. grew 17% to 12.6 million from 10.7 million in the second quarter of 2018.

"Our first half results set a strong foundation for our growth in 2019 and reinforce the strength of our execution and the fundamentals of our business model. As we look to the second half of 2019, I expect that we will continue accelerating growth both from a revenue and earnings point of view." said Roberto Simon, WEX's Chief Financial Officer.

Financial Guidance and Assumptions

The Company provides revenue guidance on a GAAP basis and earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis, due to the uncertainty and an indeterminate amount of certain elements that are included in reported GAAP earnings. The updated full year guidance below reflects strong business execution offset by lower average fuel prices and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

For the full year 2019, the Company expects revenue in the range of $1.720 billion to $1.750 billion and adjusted net income in the range of $399 million to $410 million, or $9.10 to $9.35 per diluted share.
For the third quarter of 2019, WEX expects revenue in the range of $455 million to $465 million and adjusted net income in the range of $110 million to $115 million, or $2.52 to $2.62 per diluted share.

Third quarter 2019 guidance is based on an assumed average U.S. retail fuel price of $2.72 per gallon. Full year 2019 guidance is based on an assumed average U.S. retail fuel price of $2.72 per gallon. The fuel prices referenced above are based on the applicable NYMEX futures price. The Company's guidance also assumes that third quarter 2019 fleet credit loss will range from 13 to 18 basis points and full year fleet credit loss will range from 13 to 18 basis points. Our guidance also assumes approximately 43.8 million shares outstanding for the third quarter and full year 2019.

The Company's adjusted net income guidance, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses, acquisition related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization, similar adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests and certain tax related items. We are unable to reconcile our adjusted net income guidance to the comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the difficulty in predicting the amounts to be adjusted, including but not limited to, foreign currency exchange rates, unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, acquisition and divestiture related items and adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest, which may have a significant impact on our financial results.

Additional Information

Management uses the non-GAAP measures presented within this news release to evaluate the Company's performance on a comparable basis. Management believes that investors may find these measures useful for the same purposes, but cautions that they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, disclosure in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization, similar adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests and certain tax related items.

Although adjusted net income is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this non-GAAP measure is integral to the Company's reporting and planning processes and the chief operating decision maker of the Company uses segment adjusted operating income to allocate resources among our operating segments. The Company considers this measure integral because it excludes the above-specified items that the Company's management excludes in evaluating the Company's performance. Specifically, in addition to evaluating the Company's performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates the Company's performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:

Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and investment securities, helps management identify and assess trends in the Company's underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with these financial instruments.
Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, receivable and payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations.
The Company considers certain acquisition-related costs, including certain financing costs, investment banking fees, warranty and indemnity insurance, certain integration related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles, as well as gains and losses from divestitures to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired or divested business or the Company. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. The Company believes that excluding acquisition-related costs and gains or losses of divestitures facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company's historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
Stock-based compensation is different from other forms of compensation as it is a non-cash expense. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to the Company is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.
Other costs includes other immaterial costs that the Company has incurred and are non-operational and non-recurring. We exclude these items when evaluating our continuing business performance as such items are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. This also includes costs related to certain identified initiatives to further streamline the business, improve the Company's efficiency, create synergies and globalize the Company's operations, remediate the prior year material weaknesses, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward.
Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry.
The adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests, including adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest, have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the business.
The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s U.S. GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s adjusted net income before taxes as well as the impact from certain discrete tax items. The methodology utilized for calculating the Company’s adjusted net income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating the Company’s U.S. GAAP tax provision.

For the same reasons, WEX believes that adjusted net income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating the Company's performance. However, because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

To determine the impact of price per gallon of fuel (“PPG”) on revenue, revenue variable to changes in fuel prices was calculated based on the average retail price of fuel for the same period in the prior year for the portion of our business that earns revenue based on a percentage of fuel spend. For the portions of our business that earn revenue based on margin spreads, revenue was calculated utilizing the comparable margin from the prior year.

To determine the estimated earnings impact of PPG, revenue and certain variable expenses impacted by changes in fuel prices were adjusted based on the average retail price of fuel for the same period in the prior year for the portion of our business that earns revenue based on a percentage of fuel spend, net of applicable taxes. For the portions of our business that earn revenue based on margin spreads, revenue was adjusted to the comparable margin from the prior year, net of non-controlling interests and applicable taxes.
