NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019 and our Form 10–K/A filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2019.
In August 2018, the SEC issued an amendment to Rule 3–04 of Regulation S–X requiring both year-to-date information and subtotals for each interim period. We have elected to expand our analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2019 in statement form for each of the current and comparative quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods.
Effective January 1,in the first quarter of 2019, the Company modified the presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to separately classify its restricted cash payable. The prior period has been reclassified to conform with this presentation. There was nopresentation, which did not result in a change to current liabilities as a result of this change.liabilities.
We apply the same accounting policies in preparing our quarterly and annual financial statements, with the exception of the new leasing standard, which iswas required to be adopted on a prospective basis. ReferJanuary 1, 2019 (refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for more information. Pronouncements).
The Company rounds amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to thousands and calculates all per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.
Revision of Prior Period Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors
As more fully described in our 2018Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018, in 2018 we revised our prior year financial statements to correct for immaterial errors in the financial statements of our Brazilian subsidiary and certain other immaterial errors impacting prior years that were not previously recorded. The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been revised for these errors. Collectively, hereinafter these revisions to correct are referred to as the “Revised” financial statements or the “Revision”. Management believes that the effects of this Revision are not material to our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The effects of the Revision on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows were as follows:

2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a brief description of accounting pronouncements adopted during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements:
Standard Description Date/Method of Adoption Effect on financial statements or other significant matters
Adopted During the ThreeNine Months Ended March 31,September 30, 2019
ASU 2016–02 This standard requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016–02 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and all practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016–02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires leases with a duration greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities.
We adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach and have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, includingbut have not utilized the hindsight practical expedientsexpedient for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforwardcontracts. Therefore, we carried forward our historical determination of (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients, which allowed us to (i) not perform an allocation of lease and non-lease components for real estate leases, (ii) continue to account for short-term leases under Topic 840 and (iii) utilize our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), rather than the rate implicit in each lease, to calculate the present value of the remaining lease payments. As such, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31,September 30, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840.
The most significant impact of adoption was the recording of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 14, Leases, for more information. The standard did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows.


ASU 201815
 This standard clarifies the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The standard provides that implementation costs be treated using the same criteria used for internal-use software development costs, with amortization expense being recorded in the same income statement expense line as the hosted service costs and over the expected term of the hosting arrangement. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company early adopted ASU 2018–15 on a prospective basis. Under the standard, we now capitalize implementation costs related to our cloud migration of technology platforms to the cloud. Such amounts are amortized over the lesser of the term of the hosting arrangement, considering any explicit renewal options for which we are reasonably certain to exercise, or the useful life of the underlying hosted software. We doThis standard did not expect that adoption of this standard will have a materialmaterially impact on our results of operations, cash flows or consolidated financial position.
       
Not Yet Adopted as of March 31,September 30, 2019
ASU 201613
 This standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that impact the collectability of the reported amount. The standard is effective January 1, 2020. 
The current expected credit loss model outlined in the ASU differs from existing US GAAP as it is based on expected rather than incurred losses. The standard requires a cumulative effect of initial application to be recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.
The Company ishas established a cross-functional task force charged with evaluating the requirements of the new standard, the availability and extent of historical data, relevant economic indicators and the impact thethis standard will have on its consolidated financial statementsour processes, systems and related disclosures.internal controls. We are currently in the process of gathering historical data, selecting our credit loss model, assessing system requirements and evaluating disclosure requirements.


Though the Company continues to assess the impact of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects of the ASU will be incorporating economic factors into our credit loss reserve methodologies and providing expanded disclosures on expected credit losses. At this time, the impact on credit loss reserves is not expected to be material.

3.Revenue
In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided. The vast majority of the Company’s Topic 606 revenue is derived from stand-ready commitments to provide payment processing, transaction processing and SaaS services and support. Revenue is recognized based on the value of services transferred to date using a time elapsed output method. For payment processing and transaction processing, services are considered to be transferred when a transaction is captured and the Company has validated that the transaction has no errors. Point-in-time revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was not material.
Topic 606 does not apply to rights or obligations associated with financial instruments, including the Company’s finance fee and interest income from banking relationships and cardholders, certain other fees associated with cardholder arrangements and commissions paid related to such agreements, which continue to be within the scope of Topic 310, Receivables. In addition, gains on sale of WEX Latin America receivables are included in other revenue and are within the scope of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing.    
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by service-type for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 18, Segment Information, for further information.

Payment Processing Revenue
Payment processing revenue consists primarily of interchange income. Interchange income is a fee paid by a merchant bank (“merchant”)relates to services transferred to the card-issuing bank (generally the Company) in exchange for the Company facilitating and processing transactions with cardholders. Interchange fees are set by the card network. WEX processes transactions through both closed-loop and open-loop networks.
Our Fleet Solutions segment interchange income primarily relates tocustomer over time. Point-in-time revenue earned on transactions processed through the Company’s proprietary closed-loop fuel networks. In closed-loop fuel network arrangements, written contracts are entered into between the Company and merchants, which determine the interchange fee charged on transactions. The Company extends short-term credit to the fleet cardholder and pays the merchant the purchase price for the cardholder��s transaction, less the interchange fees the Company retains. The Company collects the total purchase price from the fleet cardholder. In Europe, interchange income is specifically derived from the difference between the negotiated price of fuel from the supplier and the agreed upon price paid by fleet cardholders.
Interchange income in our Travel and Corporate Solutions and Health and Employee Benefit Solutions segments relates to revenue earned on transactions processed through open-loop networks. In open-loop network arrangements, there are several intermediaries involved between the merchant and the cardholder, and written contracts do not exist between all parties involved in the process. Rather, the transaction is governed by the rates determined by the payment network at the point-of-sale. This framework dictates the interchange rate, the risk of loss, dispute procedures and timing of payment. For these transactions, there is an implied contract between the Company and the merchant. In our Travel and Corporate Solutions segment, the Company remits payment to the card network for the purchase price of the cardholder transaction, less the interchange fees the Company earns. The Company collects the total purchase price from the cardholder. In our Health and Employee Benefit Solutions segment, funding of transactions and collections from cardholders is performed by third-party sponsor banks, who remit a portion of the interchange fee to us.
The Company has determined that the merchant is the customer as it relates to interchange income regardless of the type of network through which transactions are processed. The Company’s primary performance obligation to merchants is a stand-ready commitment to provide payment and transaction processing services as the merchant requires, which is satisfied over time in daily increments. Since the timing and quantity of transactions to be processed by us is not determinable, the total consideration is determined to be variable consideration. The variable consideration for our payment and transaction processing service is usage-based and therefore specifically relates to our efforts to satisfy our obligation. The variability is satisfied each day the service is provided to the customer. We directly ascribe variable fees to the distinct day of service to which it relates, and we consider the services performed each day in order to ascribe the appropriate amount of total fees to that day. Therefore, we measure interchange income on a daily basis based on the services that are performed on that day.

(unaudited)


The Company determined that WEX does not control the services performed by merchant acquirers, card networks, sponsor banks and online bill payment aggregators as each of these parties is the primary obligor for their portion of payment and transaction processing services performed. Therefore, interchange income is recognized net of any fees owed to these intermediaries. The Company determined that services performed by third-party payment processors are controlled by WEX as the Company is responsible for directing how the third-party payment processor authorizes and processes transactions on the Company’s behalf. Therefore, such fees paid to third-party payment processors are recorded as service fees within cost of services.
Additionally, the Company enters into contracts with certain large customers or strategic cardholders that provide for fee rebates tied to performance milestones. If such fee rebates constitute consideration payable to a customer or to another party that purchases services from the customer, they are considered variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction in payment processing revenue in the same period that the related interchange income is recognized. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, such variable consideration totaled $198.7 million and $198.5 million, respectively. Certain other fee rebates that constitute costs to obtain a contract are recorded as sales and marketing expenses.
Account Servicing Revenue
In our Fleet Solutions segment, account servicing revenue is primarily comprised of monthly fees charged to cardholders based on the number of vehicles serviced. These fees are primarily in return for providing monthly vehicle data reports and are recognized on a monthly basis as the service is provided. Additionally, account servicing revenue includes other fees recognized as revenue when assessed to the cardholder as part of the lending relationship, which is outside the scope of Topic 606. The Company also recognizes account servicing revenue related to reporting services on telematics hardware placements and permit sales to our over-the-road fleet customer base, both of which are within the scope of Topic 606.
In our Travel and Corporate Solutions segment, account servicing primarily consists of licensing fees for the use of our accounts receivable and accounts payable SaaS platforms.
In our Health and Employee Benefit Solutions segment, we recognize account servicing fees for the per-participant per-month fee charged on our SaaS healthcare technology platform. Customers including health plans, third-party administrators, financial institutions and payroll companies typically enter into three to five year contracts, which contain significant termination penalties.
Our Travel and Corporate Solutions and Health and Employee Benefit Solutions segments provide SaaS services and support, which are stand-ready commitments and are satisfied over time in a series of daily increments. Revenue is recognized based on an output method using days elapsed to measure progress as the Company transfers control evenly over each monthly subscription period.
Finance Fee Revenue
The Company earns revenue on overdue accounts, which is recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain customer goodwill. The established reserve for such waived amounts is estimated and offset against the late fee revenue recognized. These waived fees amounted to $4.5 million and $4.4 millionwas immaterial during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Finance fee revenue includes amounts earned by the Company’s factoring business, which purchases accounts receivable from third parties at a discount. Through June 2018, the Company also recognized finance fee revenue earned on the Company’s foreign salary advance product. Subsequently, the Company revised its WEX Latin America securitized debt agreement and recognizes gains on the sale of these receivables within “Other revenue” below. See Note 10, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, for further information on our WEX Latin America securitization.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes transaction processing revenue, professional services including software development projects and other services sold subsequent to the core offerings, and the sales of telematics hardware, all of which are within the scope of Topic 606. Revenue is recognized when control of the services or hardware is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. In addition, international settlement fees and certain other cardholder fees (e.g. replacement card fees) and gains on sale of WEX Latin America receivables are included in other revenue. This revenue is outside the scope of Topic 606 and is recognized upon completion of the related service or the sale date of the receivables.

On March 26, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Go Fuel Card, a European fuel card business, for a total purchase price of €235.0 million (equivalent of $265.5 million on date of agreement). We expect that this acquisition will strengthen our position in the European market and reduce our sensitivity to retail fuel prices. This transaction is expected to close late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2019, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

5.Accounts Receivable
In general, the Company’s trade receivablesaccounts receivable provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Receivables not paid within the terms of the agreement are generally subject to late fees based upon the outstanding receivable balance.
The Company extends revolving credit to certain small fleets, which are subject to interest charges based on the revolving balance not paid in full. The Company had approximately $43.0$66.8 million and $18.9 million in receivables with revolving credit balances as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in revolving credit balances during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 was due to the onboarding of a significant customer portfolio.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The receivables portfolio consists of a large group of homogeneous smaller balances across a wide range of industries, which are collectively evaluated for impairment. No one customer receivable balance represented 10 percent or more of the outstanding receivables balance at March 31,September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The following table presents the outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that are less than 30 and 60 days past due, in each case, as a percentage of total trade accounts receivable:
Delinquency StatusSeptember 30, 2019 December 31, 2018

Delinquency StatusMarch 31, 2019 December 31, 2018
29 days or less past due96% 95%
59 days or less past due98% 98%

Reserves for Accounts Receivable
Receivables are generally written off when they are 150 days past due or upon declaration of bankruptcy of the customer. The reserve for credit losses is primarily calculated by an analytic model that also takes into account other factors, such as the actual charge-offs for the preceding reporting periods, expected charge-offs and recoveries for the subsequent reporting periods, a review of past due accounts receivable balances, changes in payment patterns, known fraudulent activity in the portfolio, as well as leading economic and market indicators.

1 Consists primarily of charges to other accounts. The Company earns revenue by assessing monthly finance fees on accounts with overdue balances. These fees are recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain relationship goodwill. Charges to other accounts represents the offset against the late fee revenue recognized when the Company establishes a reserve for such waived amounts.
6.Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested deferred stock units (“DSUs”) outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed exercise of dilutive options and assumed issuance of unvested performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized

7.Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instrument arrangements to manage various risks including interest rate risk.
As of December 31, 2018, we had four4 interest rate swap contracts in effect with a collective notional amount at inception collectively of $1.0 billion, with maturity dates from December 30, 2020 to December 31, 2022, at interest rates between 1.108 percent and 2.212 percent.

11.Fair Value
The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed-income securities, money market funds, derivatives (see Note 7, Derivative Instruments)Certain of the Company’s financial assets and certain other financial instruments thatliabilities are carriedrecorded at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. Various factors are considered in determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors underlying options and derivatives; price activity for equivalent instruments; and the Company’s own credit standing.

These valuation techniques may be based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

(c) The fair value is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets depending on the timing of expected discounted cash flows.
(d) The fair value is recorded in other current liabilities or other liabilities depending on the timing of expected discounted cash flows.
Money Market Funds
A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in a money market fund that primarily consists of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.
Investment Securities
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of an open-ended mutual fund, which is invested in fixed-income securities and is held in order to satisfy the regulatory requirements of WEX Bank. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and municipal bonds, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally valued using Level 2 inputs.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust
The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps based on the discounted cash flows of the difference between the projected fixed payments on the swaps and the implied floating payments using the current LIBOR curve, which are Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Notes Outstanding
The Notes outstanding had a fair value of $399.0$405.0 million and $392.0 million as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of the Notes is based on market rates for the issuance of our debt and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
2016 Credit Agreement
The Company determines the fair value of the amount outstanding under its 2016 Credit Agreement based on the market rates for the issuance of the Company’s debt, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of both March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the 2016 Credit Agreement approximated its fair value.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Our financial instruments, other than those presented above, include cash, and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The carrying values of such assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of certificates of deposit, interest-bearing brokered money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt and borrowed federal funds approximate their respective fair values, as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable market-based rates. All other financial instruments are reflected at fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.    
12.Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
On March 5, 2019, the Company acquired Discovery Benefits, an employee benefits administrator. The seller of Discovery Benefits obtained a 4.9 percent equity interest in the newly formed parent company of WEX Health and Discovery Benefits (“the U.S. Health business”). The seller’s 4.9 percent non-controlling interest in WEX Health and DBI was initially established at carrying value and fair value, respectively. On the date of acquisition, the excess of the fair value of the 4.9 percent equity interest in WEX Health over its carrying value was recognized as an equity transaction, resulting in a $41.4 million increase to additional paid-in capital.
The agreement provides the seller with a put right and the Company with a call right for the equity interest, which can be exercised no earlier than five and seven years following the date of acquisition, respectively. Upon exercise of the put or call right, the purchase price is calculated based on a revenue multiple of peer companies (as defined in the acquisition agreement) applied to trailing twelve month revenues of the U.S. Health business. The put option makes the non-controlling interest redeemable and, therefore, the non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity. The redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the higher of its redemption value or the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the U.S. Health business’ net carrying value.
Subsequent remeasurement of the equity interest to fair value during the first quarter of 2019 resulted in an increase to redeemable non-controlling interest of $41.4 million and an offsetting decrease to retained earnings that did not impact earnings per share. As of March 31,During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recalculated the carrying amount for this redeemable non-controlling interest was greater thanusing revenue multiples as defined by the redemption value,acquisition agreement and described above, resulting in noa $46.2 million increase to the redeemable non-controlling interest.

Subsequent increases or decreases in the redemption value of the non-controlling interest will be offset against retained earnings and impact earnings per share.

14.Leases
We have operating leases for buildings, primarily for office space. For building leases with terms greater than twelve months, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Short-term lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis and variable short-term lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. We determine whether or not a contract contains a lease at inception of the contract. Many of our lease agreements contain renewal or termination clauses that we factor into our determination of the lease term if we are reasonably certain to exercise any such options.

19.Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure
The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit our business activities and have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, the most recent FDIC exam report categorized WEX Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events subsequent to that examination report that management believes have changed WEX Bank’s capital rating.

Finance income primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. This revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in the absolute amount of such outstanding balances can be attributed to (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Late fee revenue can also be impacted by (i) changes in late fee rates and (ii) increases or decreases in customer overdue balances. Late fee rates are determined and set based primarily on the risk associated with our customers, coupled with a strategic view of standard rates within our industry. Periodically, we assess the market rates associated within our industry to determine appropriate late fee rates. We consider factors such as the Company’s overall financial model and strategic plan, the cost to our business from customers failing to pay timely and the impact such late payments have on our financial results. These assessments are typically conducted at least annually but may occur more often depending on macro-economic factors.

The primary source of factoring fee revenue is calculated as a negotiated percentage fee of the receivable balance that we purchase. A secondary source of factoring fee revenue is a flat rate service fee to our customers that request a non-contractual same day funding of the receivable balance. Factoring fee revenue for the firstthird quarter ofand nine months ended September 30, 2019 was generally consistent with the same periodperiods in the prior year.

We generally use a roll-rate methodology to calculate the amount necessary for our ending receivable reserve balance. This methodology considers total receivable balances, recent charge-off experience, recoveries on previously charged-off accounts and the dollars that are delinquent to calculate the total reserve. In addition, management undertakes a detailed evaluation of the receivable balances to help further ensure overall reserve adequacy. The expense we recognized in the quarter is the amount necessary to bring the reserve to its required level based on accounts receivable aging and net charge-offs.

Finance fee revenue decreased $4.9$16.4 million for the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other revenue increased $2.5$3.0 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from higher ancillary fees at WEX Health due to a higher number of participants. Other revenue increased $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to realized gains on the sale of WEX Latin America customer receivables under a securitization arrangement. Prior to an amendment of this securitization arrangement during the third quarter of 2018, the revenue associated with these customer receivables was primarily included in finance fee revenue.

Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company incurred net foreign currency losses of $3.9$16.5 million in the firstthird quarter of 2019 due primarily toand $13.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of the remeasurement of assets and liabilities and losses recognized on intercompany loanstransactions, resulting from athe U.S. dollar strengthening ofrelative to numerous major foreign currencies in which we transact, including the Euro, British Poundpound and Australian dollar.

Non–GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures
The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other costs, impairment charges, debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization, similar adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests and certain tax related items.

Although adjusted net income is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this non-GAAP measure is integral to the Company’s reporting and planning processes and the CODM of the Company uses segment adjusted operating income to allocate resources among our operating segments. The Company considers this measure integral because it excludes the above-specified items that the Company’s management excludes in evaluating the Company’s performance. Specifically, in addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates the Company’s performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:
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 quarters difficult to evaluate.
Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, receivable and payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency 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 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 of 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.
Restructuring and other costs are related to certain identified initiatives to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies and to globalize the Company’s operations, all with an objective to improve scale and increase profitability going forward. This also includes other immaterial costs that the Company has incurred andwhich are non-operational and non-recurring.non-operational. We exclude these items when evaluating our continuing business performance as such items 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 costs related to certain identified initiatives to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies and globalize the Company’s operations and remediate the prior year material weaknesses.
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 non-recurring expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in its industry.

Table of Contents


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 adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests, including adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest, have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the business.
The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s adjusted net income before taxes as well as the impact from certain discrete tax items. The methodology utilized for calculating the Company’s adjusted net income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating the Company’s GAAP tax provision.
For the same reasons, WEX believes that adjusted net income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating the Company’s performance. However, because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, it 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 as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Under these agreements, our subsidiaries sell trade accounts receivable to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries consolidated by the Company. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Financing and Other Debt, for more information regarding these facilities.
Deposits and Borrowed Federal Funds
WEX Bank issues certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between one year to five years, with interest rates ranging from 1.30 percent to 3.52 percent as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had approximately $768.3 million and $850.8 million of certificates of deposit outstanding, respectively.
WEX Bank also issues money market deposits with interest rates ranging from 2.52 percent to 2.60 percent as of March 31, 2019, and 2.48 percent to 2.53 percent as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately $238.9 million of interest-bearing brokered money market deposits with a weighted average interest rate of 2.55 percent, compared to $283.8 million of interest-bearing brokered money market deposits at December 31, 2018, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.49 percent.
WEX Bank may issue additional brokered deposits without limitation, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios, which include risk-basedfund asset and capital requirements. As of March 31, 2019, all brokered deposits were in denominations of $250 thousand or less, corresponding to FDIC deposit insurance limits. Interest-bearing brokered money market funds may be withdrawn at any time. We believe that our brokered deposits are paying competitive yields and that there continues to be consumer demand for these instruments.
WEX Bank participates in the ICS service offered by Promontory Interfinancial Network, which allows WEX Bank to purchase brokered money market demand accounts and demand deposit accounts in an amount not to exceed $125.0 million as part of a one-way buy program.

Table of Contents


Deposits
WEX Latin AmericaBank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. WEX Bank accepts its deposits through: (i) certain customers as required collateral for credit that has been extended (“customer deposits”); (ii) contractual arrangements with brokerage firms for both certificate of deposit and money market deposit products (“brokered deposits”); and (iii) a listing service that provides certificates of deposit with financial institutions (“institutional deposits”). Customer deposits are generally non-interest bearing, while brokered deposits are issued at variable rates based on LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate and institutional deposits contain varying terms.
Deposits are classified based on their contractual maturities, which are explicitly stated for certificates of deposit. While brokered money market deposits may be withdrawn by the holder at any time, the allowed number of transactions is limited and notification may be required. Customer deposits are released at the termination of the relationship, net of any customer receivable, or upon reevaluation of the customer’s credit in limited instances.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 we had debt of approximately $17.1$1,574.9 million and $16.2$1,272.7 million in deposits with original maturities ranging from 2 months to 5 years. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 8, Deposits, in this report for further information regarding our deposits.
Borrowed Federal Funds
WEX Bank borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. Our federal funds lines of credit were $334.0 million and $309.0 million as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

WEX Europe Services Accounts Receivable Factoring
During the first quarter of 2017, WEX Europe Services entered into a factoring arrangement with an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “Purchasing Bank”) to sell certain of its accounts receivable in order to accelerate the collection of the Company’s cash and reduce the internal costs, thereby improving liquidity. Under this arrangement, the Purchasing Bank establishes a credit limit for each customer account. The factored receivables are without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the established credit limit. The Company obtained a true sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement creates a sale of receivables under local law for amounts transferred both below and above the established credit limits. Additionally, there are no indications of the Company’s continuing involvement in the factored receivables. As a result, the Purchasing Bank is deemed the purchaser of these receivables and is entitled to enforce payment of these amounts from the debtor. Available capacity is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. As such, this factoring arrangement can be reduced or eliminated at any time due to market conditions and changes in the credit worthiness of our customers, which would negatively impact our liquidity.

WEX Bank Accounts Receivable Factoring
In August 2018, WEX Bank entered into a receivables purchase agreement with an unrelated third-party financial institution to sell certain of our trade receivables under non-recourse transactions. WEX Bank continues to service the receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. The Company obtained a true-sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon WEX Bank bankruptcy or receivership under local law. As such, transfers under this arrangement are treated as a sale. Proceeds from the sale are reported net of negotiated discount rate and are accounted for as a reduction in trade receivables because the agreements transfer effective control of the receivables to the buyer.
WEX Latin America Securitization of Receivables
During the second quarter of 2017, WEX Latin America entered into a securitized debt agreement to transfer certain unsecured receivables associated with our salary payment card product to an investment fund managed by an unrelated third-party financial institution. As of December 31, 2017 and through June 30, 2018, this securitization arrangement did not meet the derecognition conditions due to continuing involvement with the transferred assets and accordingly WEX Latin America reported the transferred receivables and securitized debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the third quarter of 2018, the securitization agreements were amended, resulting in the Company giving up effective control of the transferred receivables to the buyer. Additionally, the Company received a true-sale opinion from an independent attorney stating that the amended agreements provide legal isolation upon WEX Latin America bankruptcy or receivership under local law. As such, the securitization arrangement meets the derecognition conditions and transfers under this arrangement are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade receivables. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, for further information.

As of March 31, 2019 we maintained seven interest rate swap contracts that mature between December 2020 and March 2023. Collectively, these derivative contracts are intended to fix the future interest payments associated with $1.5 billion of our variable rate borrowings at between 1.108 percent and 2.425 percent.not available for general corporate purposes. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 7, Derivative Instruments,9, Financing and Note 11, Fair Value,Other Debt, for further information.more information regarding these facilities.
We currently have authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to $150 million of our common stock until September 2021, which is entirely unused as of March 31, 2019. The program is funded either through our future cash flows or through borrowings on our 2016 Credit Agreement. Share repurchases are made on the open market and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors, determines the timing and number of shares repurchased.Regulatory Risk
The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit our business activities and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, WEX Bank met all the requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized” pursuant to FDIC regulation and for purposes of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 19, SupplementalSupplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure, for further information.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2019, we had variable-rate borrowings of $2.4 billion under our 2016 Credit Agreement, which bore a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.2 percent. We periodically review our projected borrowings under our 2016 Credit Agreement and the current interest rate environment to determine if we should use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate volatility. As of September 30, 2019, we maintained interest rate swap contracts that are intended to fix the future interest payments associated with $1.4 billion of our variable rate borrowings at between 1.108 percent and 2.425 percent.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Earnings outside of the United States are accompanied by certain financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may reduce the reported value of our foreign currency revenues, net of expenses, and cash flows. We cannot predict changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of exchange rate changes, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes.

Undistributed Earnings
Undistributed earnings and profits of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to an estimated $76.8 million and $64.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable, where applicable, to foreign countries, but would have no further federal income tax liability. The Company’s primary tax jurisdictions are the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements
Even though off-balance sheet arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under GAAP, such arrangements may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations. These arrangements serve a variety of business purposes, however the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. We are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources. As of September 30, 2019, we had posted letters of credit totaling approximately $51.3 million as collateral under the terms of our lease agreement for our corporate offices, other corporate matters and for payment processing activity at certain foreign subsidiaries.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Share Repurchases
We currently have authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to $150 million of our common stock until September 2021, which is entirely unused as of September 30, 2019. The program is funded either through our future cash flows or through borrowings on our 2016 Credit Agreement. Share repurchases are to be made on the open market and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors, determines the timing and number of shares repurchased.
Dividends
The Company has not declared any dividends on its common stock since it commenced trading on the NYSE on February 16, 2005. The timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will be (i) dependent upon the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and other relevant factors, (ii) subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and (iii) payable only out of the Company’s surplus or current net profits in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The Company has certain restrictions on the dividends it may pay under its revolving credit agreement, including pro forma compliance with a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of less than 2.50:1.00 for the most recent period of four fiscal quarters.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements
Even though off-balance sheet arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under GAAP, such arrangements may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations. These arrangements serve a variety of business purposes, however the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. We are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources. As of March 31, 2019, we had posted letters of credit totaling approximately $53.5 million as collateral under the terms of our lease agreement for our corporate offices, other corporate matters and for payment processing activity at certain foreign subsidiaries.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See Part I – Item 1 – Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10–Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we have no material changes to the market risk disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc. evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2019. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controlsand other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10–K, Item 9A, for the year ended December 31, 2018, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2018. As of this date, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to the following control deficiencies:

50

Table of Contents


We did not maintain an effective control environment at our Brazilian subsidiary as evidenced by: (i) an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge of the Company’s processing platforms and overall financial reporting process, and (ii) an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control activities.
We did not have control activities that were designed and operating effectively at our Brazilian subsidiary as evidenced by: (i) reconciliation of balance sheet accounts not being prepared consistently, (ii) lack of precision in review controls to identify all potential errors, and (iii) lack of oversight and approval of journal entries.
We did not have sufficient monitoring activities in place to ensure effective corporate oversight and monitoring of control activities at our individually insignificant subsidiaries.
We are actively engaged in the implementation of a remediation plan to ensure that controls contributing to the material weaknesses are designed appropriately and will operate effectively. The remediation actions that we are taking and expect to take include the following:
Evaluating the sufficiency, experience, and training of our internal personnel at our Brazilian subsidiary and hiring additional qualified personnel or using external resources.
Implementing control activities at our Brazilian subsidiary that address relevant financial statement risks, including account reconciliations, variance analysis and journal entry procedures.
Implementing additional corporate monitoring activities over our individually insignificant subsidiaries.

Table of Contents


Management believes that these efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. However, the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the new controls are fully implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of time, and tested and concluded by management to be designed and operating effectively. We cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts. Management will test, evaluate, and audit the implementation of these new processes and internal controls during fiscal 2019 to ascertain whether they are designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that they will prevent or detect a material error in the Company’s financial statements. Subject to the foregoing, management is working towards having these remediation efforts completed by the time we issue our December 31, 2019 financial statements. Management is committed to continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures.
As described in Part I – Item 1 – Note 1, Basis of Presentation, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has revised prior period financial statements to correct for the errors resulting from the material weaknesses described above. As a result of the procedures performed to correct these errors, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
We believe that the remediation measures described above will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses we have identified. We expect that our remediation efforts, including design, implementation and testing will continue throughout fiscal year 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts on the material weakness identified above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the firstthird quarter of 2019. However, from time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we are cooperating with an SEC investigation arising from the revision of our financial statements earlier this year due to issues involving our Brazil subsidiary, including financial and disclosure controls and procedures. As of the date of this filing, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from all legal proceedingsthese matters is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10–K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
