Release Details

NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 4, 2014-- FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products to businesses, announced today that it has completed a minority investment in Masternaut Group Holdings Limited, a European-based provider of telematics solutions.

The Masternaut investment was made alongside Summit Partners, one of FleetCor’s early investors, which acquired the majority position in Masternaut from Francisco Partners.

Founded in 1996 and with headquarters in the UK, Masternaut provides a SaaS-based Mobile Resource Management (MRM) application suite for businesses of all sizes. The company is a pan-European leader in enterprise-grade cloud-based telematics and has over 300,000 vehicles subscribed to its SaaS solutions. Over 15,000 users interact every hour with the systems, and over 50 million data transactions are processed and configured into 20,000 reports every day. With customers in 32 countries, Masternaut has multiple offices and partners throughout Europe.

“This minority investment in the leading telematics company in Europe allows us to put another marker on this adjacent telematics space in an important FleetCor geographic region. We will continue to evaluate the attractiveness and relatedness of this high- growth category as another potential product expansion opportunity for FleetCor,” said Ron Clarke, Chairman and CEO, FleetCor Technologies, Inc. “The minority investment also preserves FleetCor’s right to acquire a majority stake in the business at a later date.”

“This transaction will not have an impact on our 2014 guidance,” said Eric Dey, CFO, FleetCor Technologies, Inc.

This investment follows the acquisition of Nextraq, a US based telematics provider, from Francisco Partners in October of 2013.
