WEX Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Q2 revenue increased 8% year-over-year to a second quarter record $673 million, driven by 13% growth in the Benefits segment and acceleration in Mobility segment growth rate

Q2 GAAP net income was $1.83 per diluted share; Q2 adjusted net income was $3.91 per diluted share

Q2 GAAP operating income margin of 25.0% and adjusted operating income margin of 40.7%

Share repurchases of approximately $100 million during Q2, an additional $70 million in July 2024, and expect to enter into a $300 million accelerated share repurchase agreement in the near future

PORTLAND, Maine - July 25, 2024 - WEX (NYSE: WEX), the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

“WEX achieved another quarter of record revenue and delivered adjusted earnings per share above the top end of our guidance range, showcasing our ability to deliver consistently strong financial results even in challenging economic conditions,” said Melissa Smith, WEX’s Chair, Chief Executive Officer, and President.

“During the quarter, we exceeded our goal of achieving $100 million of run rate savings six months earlier than expected. We also made meaningful progress advancing our strategic initiatives to expand our product capabilities on our commerce platform in each of our segments. Further, we continued to invest in our EV offerings to support the transition to mixed fleets and embraced digital transformation by harnessing cutting-edge technologies and leveraging AI capabilities. We remain committed to creating value for our shareholders and expect to enter into an accelerated share repurchase agreement in the near future to repurchase $300 million of WEX common stock, reflecting our confidence in WEX’s intrinsic value and long-term growth potential.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 increased 8% to $673.5 million from $621.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. The revenue increase in the quarter includes a $5.4 million unfavorable impact from fuel prices and spreads and a $0.8 million unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates.

Net income on a GAAP basis decreased by $18.3 million to a net income of $77.0 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $95.3 million, or $2.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. The Company's adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $164.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, or $3.91 per diluted share, up 8% per diluted share from $159.3 million, or $3.63 per diluted share, for the same period last year. GAAP operating income margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 25.0% compared to 25.7% last year. Adjusted operating income margin was 40.7% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 40.3% for the prior year comparable period. See Exhibit 1 for a full explanation and reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, and adjusted operating income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See Exhibit 5 for information on the calculation of adjusted operating income margin.

Second Quarter 2024 Performance Metrics

•Total volume across all segments was $60.1 billion, an increase of 9% from the second quarter of 2023.

•Mobility payment processing transactions in the second quarter of 2024 increased 2% to 144.9 million compared with the prior year at 142.4 million.

•Average number of vehicles serviced was approximately 19.4 million, an increase of 3% from the second quarter of 2023.

•Benefits’ average number of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) accounts grew 3% to 20.0 million compared with the second quarter of 2023.

•Average HSA custodial cash assets in the second quarter of 2024 were $4.2 billion, which is 9% higher than $3.9 billion a year ago.

•Corporate Payments’ purchase volume grew 12% to $25.8 billion from $22.9 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

•The Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its stock for a total cost of approximately $100 million.

•Cash flows used in operating activities in the second quarter of this year were $7.0 million. Adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $161.1 million for the same period. Please see Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of operating cash flow to this non-GAAP measure.

“We delivered solid financial performance in the second quarter, underpinned by our solid balance sheet, strong cash generation, and low leverage ratio that allow us to invest in the business and return capital to our shareholders,” said Jagtar Narula, WEX’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our Mobility segment revenue growth accelerated in Q2 as expected, however, as a result of recent trends in the travel environment, we are modestly revising our outlook for the second half of 2024. We are taking actions to drive further operational efficiency, and remain confident in WEX’s strong market position, strategic growth initiatives, and culture of innovation that empowers us to drive sustainable long-term success.”

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 the indeterminate amount of certain elements that are included in reported GAAP earnings.

•For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects revenue in the range of $688 million to $698 million and adjusted net income in the range of $4.42 to $4.52 per diluted share.

•For the full year 2024, the Company now expects revenue in the range of $2.68 billion to $2.72 billion. Adjusted net income is now expected to be in the range of $15.98 to $16.38 per diluted share.

Third quarter and full year 2024 guidance is based on assumed average U.S. retail fuel prices of $3.65 and $3.61 per gallon, respectively, and a 25.0% adjusted net income effective tax rate. The fuel prices referenced above are based on the applicable NYMEX futures price from the week of July 15, 2024. Our guidance assumes approximately 40.8 million and 41.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter and the full year, respectively. The share count assumptions include the effect of approximately $70 million of shares purchased during the month of July and the expected effect of entering into a $300 million accelerated share repurchase transaction that we expect to do in the near future.

The Company's adjusted net income guidance, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, debt restructuring costs and debt issuance cost amortization, tax related items and certain other non-operating items and non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. 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, and acquisition and divestiture related items, which may have a significant impact on our financial results.

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.

Under the ‘if-converted’ method, interest expense, net of tax, associated with the Convertible Notes of $3.8 million and $7.7 million was added back to adjusted net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock associated with the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes (prior to repurchase and cancellation) were included in the calculation of adjusted net income per diluted share, as the effect of including such adjustments was dilutive. The total number of shares used in calculating adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 42.0 million and 42.2 million, respectively. The total number of shares used in calculating adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 44.9 million and 45.0 million, respectively.

1 Margins are derived by dividing the applicable measures by total net revenue for the Company.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, debt restructuring costs and debt issuance cost amortization, tax related items and certain other non-operating items and non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating income excludes acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. Total segment adjusted operating income incorporates these same adjustments and further excludes unallocated corporate expenses.

Although adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, and total segment adjusted operating income are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, our management team believes these non-GAAP measures are integral to our reporting and planning processes and uses them to assess operating performance because they generally exclude financial results that are outside the normal course of our business operations or management’s control. These measures are also used to allocate resources among our operating segments and for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes for both short- and long-term operating plans.

For the periods presented herein, the following items have been excluded in determining one or more non-GAAP measures for the following reasons:

•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. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;

•Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency economic 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 change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to HSAs, is dependent upon changes in future interest rate assumptions and has no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the Company. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;

•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 on 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 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 non-recurring professional service costs, costs related to certain identified initiatives, including restructuring and technology initiatives, to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies and globalize the Company’s operations, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward.

•Impairment charges represent non-cash asset write-offs, which do not reflect recurring costs that would be relevant to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company believes that excluding these nonrecurring expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in its industry;

•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 tax related items are the difference between the Company’s GAAP tax provision and a non-GAAP tax provision. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the Company utilizes a fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across reporting periods. To determine this long-term projected tax rate, the Company performs a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s projected adjusted net income before taxes. The fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change in future periods for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations; and

•The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments, as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.

WEX believes that adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, and total segment adjusted operating income may also be useful to investors when evaluating the Company’s performance. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, and total segment adjusted operating income are non-GAAP measures, they 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, adjusted operating

income, and total segment adjusted operating income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Cash Flow to Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities, adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net funding activity including the change in net deposits, net advances from the FHLB, and changes in borrowings under the BTFP and borrowed federal funds, and certain other adjustments which, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, reflects an adjustment for contingent and deferred consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. Although non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, WEX believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure for investors to further evaluate our results of operations because (i) adjusted free cash flow indicates the level of cash generated by the operations of the business, which excludes consideration paid on acquisitions, after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property, equipment and capitalized software that are required to operate the business; (ii) net funding activity includes fluctuations in deposits and other borrowings primarily used as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy; and (iii) purchases of current investment securities are made as a result of deposits gathered operationally. However, because adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted free cash flow as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

The following table reconciles GAAP operating cash flow to adjusted free cash flow:

To determine the impact of foreign exchange translation (“FX”) on revenue, revenue from entities whose functional currency is not denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as revenue from purchase volume transacted in non-U.S. denominated currencies, were translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the same period in the prior year, exclusive of revenue derived from acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates.

To determine the impact of price per gallon of fuel (“PPG”) on revenue, revenue subject 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, exclusive of revenue derived from acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates. For the portions of our business that earn revenue based on margin spreads, revenue was calculated utilizing the comparable margin from the prior year.

The table below shows the impact of certain macro factors on adjusted net income by segment:

To determine the estimated adjusted net income impact of FX on revenue and expenses from entities whose functional currency is not denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as revenue and variable expenses from purchase volume transacted in non-U.S. denominated currencies, amounts were translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the same period in the prior year, net of tax, exclusive of revenue and expenses derived from acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates.

To determine the estimated adjusted net income 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, exclusive of revenue and expenses derived from acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates. 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 applicable taxes.
