FleetCor Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Adjusted Net Income Increases 29% Versus Prior Year

NORCROSS, Ga., May 9, 2012 — FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a leading independent global provider of fuel cards and specialized payment products to businesses, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

“We are very pleased with our first quarter results which include reported revenue growth of 32% and adjusted net income growth of 29%,” said Ron Clarke, chairman, and chief executive officer, FleetCor Technologies, Inc. “Our strong first quarter results were helped by two key strategic acquisitions at the end of last year which included a new served segment for FleetCor in the UK and entry into the Latin American market in Mexico. In addition, we have just announced that we signed an arrangement agreement to acquire CTF Technologies, the leading fuel payment platform provider in Brazil. This acquisition is consistent with our global acquisition strategy of identifying attractive assets with performance upside, particularly in emerging markets.”

Financial results for the first quarter of 2012:

GAAP Results

 

   

Total revenues, net in the first quarter of 2012 increased 32% to $146.2 million compared to $111.0 million in the first quarter of 2011

 

   

Net income in the first quarter of 2012 increased 30% to $42.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $32.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011

Non-GAAP Results

 

   

Adjusted revenues1 (revenues, net less merchant commissions) in the first quarter of 2012 also increased 32% to $135.8 million compared to $102.7 million in the first quarter of 2011

 

   

Adjusted net income1 in the first quarter of 2012 increased 29% to $50.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $39.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011

2012 Outlook:

FleetCor is guiding to the high end of its previously reported guidance range, excluding the impact of the pending CTF acquisition:

 

   

Revenues, net between $615 million and $625 million

 

   

Adjusted Net Income between $217 million and $222 million

 

   

Adjusted Net Income per diluted share between $2.55 and $2.60

The Company’s full-year 2012 guidance assumptions remain unchanged with the exception of the following:

 

   

An increase in the average diluted shares outstanding, from 85.2 million shares in the prior guidance to 85.9 million shares. The increase in diluted shares is primarily due to the increase in the Company’s share price in the first quarter.

 

1 

Reconciliations of GAAP results to non GAAP results are provided in Exhibit 1 attached. Additional supplemental data is provided in Exhibit 2 and segment information is provided in Exhibit 3.

 

1


The remaining assumptions are unchanged, and are as follows:

 

   

Fuel prices flat to 2011 average fuel price

 

   

A 0.2% increase in our effective tax rate from 30.1% in 2011 to 30.3% in 2012

 

   

Foreign exchange rates materially consistent with those prevailing at the time we initially provided guidance

 

   

No impact from future acquisitions or material new partnership agreements

“We expect the pending acquisition of CTF Technologies to be accretive to both revenue and profit in 2012 and expect the acquisition to add $0.04 to $0.05 in adjusted net income per diluted share, including deal and restructuring costs and assuming a close date of June 30,” said Eric Dey, chief financial officer, Fleetcor Technologies, Inc. “We will incorporate the CTF impact into our overall guidance, once we close the CTF transaction.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted revenues, net are calculated as revenues less merchant commissions. 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 and intangible assets, (c) amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables and, (d) loss on the early extinguishment of debt. The company uses adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate the company’s 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. The company believes this is a more effective way to evaluate the company’s revenue performance. We prepare adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted revenues and adjusted net income are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net, 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 expenses 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 exclude loss on the early extinguishment of debt from adjusted net income, as this expense is non-cash and is one-time in nature and does not reflect the ongoing operations of the business.

Management uses adjusted revenues and adjusted net income:

 

   

as measurements of operating performance because they assist 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 revenues and adjusted net income are used by 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.
