FLEETCOR Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal-Year 2018 Financial Results

February 6, 2019

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2019-- FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global provider of commercial payment solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

“Our Q4 revenues and profits finished the year on a high note with revenue up 11% and adjusted net income per diluted share up 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. These results were driven by strong execution across all lines of business resulting in organic growth of 11%, and record sales up 20% year over year in the fourth quarter. Fiscal year 2018 was another great year, driven by increases in revenues of 13% and adjusted net income per diluted share, which increased 23%,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. “For 2019, we expect each of our four primary product categories – fuel, toll, lodging, and corporate payments – to continue to drive our Company’s growth as we focus relentlessly on execution in order to win new clients, open up new geographies, and provide improved value over a broader range of spend categories.”

Financial Results for Fourth Quarter of 2018

GAAP Results

Total revenues, including the impact of the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606, increased 5% to $643.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $610.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Net incomeincreased 7% to $302.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $282.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Included in the fourth quarter of 2018, was a gain of approximately $153 million from the sale of the Chevron portfolio. Included in the fourth quarter of 2017 was the favorable impact of adoption of the Tax Reform Act of $127.5 million.
Net incomeper diluted share increased 9% to $3.33 in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $3.05 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2017.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606") and related cost capitalization guidance, using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. As such, the Company is not required to restate comparative financial information prior to the adoption of ASC 606 and, therefore, such information for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 continues to be reported under FASB ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" ("ASC 605"). The adoption of ASC 606 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the adoption of ASC 606 reduced revenue by $36.4 million and increased operating income by $2.5 million. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on net income or net income per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2018. A comparison of the current presentation under ASC 606 to the prior presentation under ASC 605 is provided below for the three months ended December 31, 2018:

	2018 Reported under ASC 606	2018 Impact of ASC 606	2018 Excluding Impact of Adoption of ASC 606
(millions)
Revenue	$643.4	$36.4	$679.9

Operating Expense	$358.7	$38.9	$397.6

Operating Income	$284.7	($2.5)	$282.3

The above table presents the U.S. GAAP financial measures of Revenue, Operating Expense and Operating Income as reported, as well as the impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on these measures for the period presented. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on net income and net income per diluted share was not material.

Adjusted net income per diluted share¹ increased 23% to $10.53 in 2018, compared to $8.54 in 2017.

Fiscal Year 2019 Outlook

“Our outlook for 2019 is for organic revenue growth to be in the 9-11% range, consistent with our performance over the last several years. We expect this performance to be partially offset by a challenging macro environment, with fuel prices expected to be below 2018 levels, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates driven by a strong dollar, particularly in the first half of the year. The combined unfavorable revenue impact from these factors is expected to be approximately $50 million in 2019. As a result, we are guiding adjusted net income per diluted share to $11.55, at the midpoint, which represents a 10% growth from prior year,” said Eric Dey, chief financial officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc.”

For fiscal year 2019, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. updated financial guidance is as follows:

Total revenues to be between $2,570 million and $2,630 million;
GAAP net income between $800 million and $830 million;
GAAP net income per diluted share between $9.05 and $9.35;
Adjusted net income to be between $1,015 million and $1,045 million; and
Adjusted net income per diluted share to be between $11.40 and $11.70.

FLEETCOR’s guidance assumptions for 2019 are as follows:

Weighted fuel prices equal to $2.60 per gallon average in the U.S. for those businesses sensitive to the movement in the retail price of fuel for the balance of the year;
Market spreads slightly below the 2018 average;
Foreign exchange rates equal to the seven-day average as of February 3, 2019;
Interest expense of $160 million;
Fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 89.0 million shares;
An adjusted tax rate of 23% to 24%; and
No impact related to acquisitions or material new partnership agreements not already disclosed.

Fiscal First Quarter of 2019 Outlook

FLEETCOR experiences some seasonality and typically the first quarter is the lowest in terms of both revenue and profit. First quarter seasonality is impacted by weather, holidays in the U.S., and lower business levels in Brazil, due to summer break and the Carnival celebration that occurs in the first quarter. Also, the first quarter revenue will be impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange rates when compared to the first quarter of 2018, as well as the divestiture of the Chevron portfolio.

With that said, the Company is expecting first quarter adjusted net income per diluted share to be between $2.55 and $2.65¹. Additionally, volumes should build throughout the year, and new asset initiatives are also expected to gain momentum throughout the year resulting in higher revenue and earnings per share in the second through fourth quarters.

Subsequent Events

On January 14, 2019, FLEETCOR entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix $2 billion of floating rate debt at 2.55%, on borrowings as of January 31, 2019. This action is expected to limit the risk from future interest rate hikes by reducing the portion of our debt that is exposed to floating rates. Also, on January 23, 2019, the FLEETCOR Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million in share repurchases under the existing Share Repurchase Program, bringing the total current repurchase authorization to $551 million.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income is calculated as net 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, amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, and our proportionate share of amortization of intangible assets at our equity method investment, (c) other non-recurring items, including the impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, impairment charges, asset write-offs, restructuring costs, gains due to disposition of assets and a business, loss on extinguishment of debt, legal settlements, and the unauthorized access impact. We calculate adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. 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 investments and business are performing. Reconciliations of GAAP results to non-GAAP results are provided in the attached exhibit 1. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP product revenue organic growth calculation is provided in the attached exhibit 5. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance is provided in the attached exhibit 6. Furthermore, a reconciliation of the impact of the Company’s adoption of the new revenue standard, ASC 606, is provided in exhibit 7.

Management uses adjusted net income:

as measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget;
to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are key measures used by the Company and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.

¹ Reflects the impact of the Company's adoption of ASC 606 and related cost capitalization guidance, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheet for the cumulative effect of applying the standard, which included costs incurred to obtain a contract, as well as presentation changes in our statements of income, including the classification of certain amounts previously classified as merchant commissions and processing expense net with revenues. As a result of the application of the modified retrospective transition method, the Company's prior period results within its Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q will not be restated to reflect ASC 606. For purposes of comparability, 2017 revenue has been recast in this exhibit and is reconciled to GAAP in Exhibit 5, which includes certain estimates and assumptions made by the Company for the impact of ASC 606 on 2017 revenues, as the Company did not apply a full retrospective adoption. ² Reflects adjustments from previously disclosed amounts for the prior period to conform to current presentation. ³ Other includes telematics, maintenance, food, and transportation related businesses. ⁴ See Exhibit 5 for a reconciliation of Pro forma and Macro Adjusted revenue by product, non gaap measures, to the gaap equivalent. * Columns may not calculate due to rounding.

¹Reflects the impact of the Company's adoption of ASC 606 and related cost capitalization guidance, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheet for the cumulative effect of applying the standard, which included costs incurred to obtain a contract, as well as presentation changes in our statements of income, including the classification of certain amounts previously classified as merchant commissions and processing expense net with revenues. As a result of the application of the modified retrospective transition method, the Company's prior period results within its Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q will not be restated to reflect ASC 606.
