FLEETCOR Reports First Quarter Financial Results

May 3, 2018

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2018-- FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a leading global provider of commercial payment solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter of 2018.

“Our first quarter revenues and profits finished above our expectations, and our sales, retention, and same store customer trends were very strong. Revenue growth of 17%, excluding the new revenue standard ASC 606 change, and adjusted net income per diluted share growth of 28%, demonstrate the sustainability of our businesses. We delivered organic revenue growth rates of more than 20 percent in the Lodging, Corporate Payments and Tolls business lines, as we continue to execute on our strategies to grow our non-fuel businesses,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. “We continue to advance our Company’s growth as we win new clients, open up new geographies, and provide improved value over a broader range of spend categories.”

Financial Results for First Quarter of 2018:

GAAP Results

  • Total revenues, including the impact of the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606, increased 12.5% to $585.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $520.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.
  • Net incomeincreased 41.4% to $174.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $123.7 million in the first quarter of 2017.
  • Net incomeper diluted share increased 43.4% to $1.88 in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $1.31 per diluted share in the first 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 ended March 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 March 31, 2018, the adoption of ASC 606 reduced revenue by $24.2 million and increased operating income by $2.7 million. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on net income or net income per common or diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As required, a comparison of the current presentation under ASC 606 to the prior presentation under ASC 605 is provided below:

Non-GAAP Results1

  • Revenues under ASC 605 increased 17.2% to $609.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $520.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.
  • Adjusted net income1 increased 26.2% to $233.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $185.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share1 increased 28.0% to $2.50 in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $1.96 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017.

Fiscal-Year 2018 Outlook:

“The first quarter of 2018 was another strong quarter for the Company. The macro-economic environment was quite favorable versus prior year, and in line with our 2018 expectations,” said Eric Dey, chief financial officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. “We are raising our guidance to reflect our first quarter results compared to our expectations. Although foreign exchange rates are trending a little worse than the first quarter average, fuel prices are a bit better than our expectation earlier this year, so we are maintaining our prior macro guidance.”

For full year 2018, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. updated financial guidance is as follows:

  • Revenues including the adoption of ASC 606, between $2,390 million and $2,450 million;
  • Net income between $705 million and $735 million;
  • Net income per diluted share between $7.55 and $7.85;
  • Revenues under ASC 605 between $2,500 million and $2,560 million;
  • Adjusted net income1 between $950 million and $980 million; and
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share1 between $10.20 and $10.50.

FLEETCOR’s guidance assumptions for 2018 are as follows:

  • Weighted fuel prices equal to $2.69 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 equal to the 2017 average.
  • Foreign exchange rates equal to the seven-day average as of April 2, 2018.
  • Interest expense of $125 million.
  • Fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 93.6 million shares.
  • A tax rate of 22 to 24%.
  • No impact related to acquisitions or material new partnership agreements not already disclosed.
  • Excludes any impact related to unauthorized access to Company systems, as described below.

Fiscal Second Quarter of 2018 Outlook:

For the second quarter, the Company is expecting adjusted net income per diluted share to be approximately the same as the first quarter. The second quarter assumes improving revenue and operating performance versus the first quarter offset by increased spending on initiatives to be funded from savings on the new Tax Act. 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 third and fourth quarters.

Subsequent Event:

FLEETCOR Reports Unauthorized Access into a Portion of the Company’s Systems

On April 26, 2018, Company personnel identified suspicious activity primarily on systems involving the Company’s Stored Value Solutions gift card business. The Company took immediate action to stop the activity and limit the improper use of accessed private label gift card information (these gift cards do not contain personally identifiable information such as consumer names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and other sensitive personal data). The Company through counsel promptly engaged external experts in information technology forensics to assist in the investigation. The Company also contacted federal law enforcement and merchants known to be affected.

The investigation is in its early stages but indicates that a significant number of six months or older gift card and PIN numbers were accessed. The affected data does not include personally identifiable information (such as consumer names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and other sensitive personal data). Following discovery, the Company froze certain gift card information and is working with merchant customers to limit the impact of the unauthorized access. The Company did not see any evidence of access to its systems involving fleet cards and other payment products, or to the proprietary and third-party payment networks used to deliver the Company’s payment solutions. The Company continues to investigate its other systems to determine whether any other information or systems have been accessed and whether other customers may have been impacted. This investigation is ongoing and will continue until the full nature and scope of the systems and information accessed has been determined. The Company will provide an update on the incident in its upcoming 10-Q, which it expects to file by May 10, 2018.

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) a non-recurring net gain at our equity method investment, (d) impairment of our equity method investment, (e) net gain on disposition of business, (f) loss on early extinguishment of debt and, (g) other non-recurring items, including the impact of the Tax Reform Act and restructuring costs. 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, along with its impact on 2018 guidance in exhibit 6.

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 Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 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 Topic 606 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheet for the cumulative effective 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 Topic 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 For purposes of comparability, reflects adjustment for 44.3 million non-recurring transactions at SVS in the first quarter of 2017 due to system driven balance inquiries.
3 Other includes telematics, maintenance, food, and transportation related businesses.
