FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements about management’s plan and goals. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers: the effects of general economic conditions on fueling patterns, payments, transaction processing activity and the commercial activity of fleets; the effects of the Company’s business expansion and acquisition efforts; the Company’s failure to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired; the failure of corporate investments to result in anticipated strategic value; the impact and size of credit losses; the impact of changes to the Company's credit standard; breaches of the Company’s technology systems and any resulting negative impact on our reputation, or liabilities, or loss of relationships with customers or merchants; fuel price volatility; the Company’s failure to maintain or renew key agreements; failure to expand the Company’s technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as the Company’s competitors; the actions of regulatory bodies, including banking and securities regulators, or possible changes in banking regulations impacting the Company’s industrial bank and the Company as the corporate parent; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s operations, revenue and income; changes in interest rates; the impact of the Company’s outstanding notes on its operations; financial loss if the Company determines it necessary to unwind its derivative instrument position prior to the expiration of a contract; the incurrence of impairment charges if our assessment of the fair value of certain of our reporting units changes; the uncertainties of litigation; as well as other risks and uncertainties identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2015. Our forward-looking statements and these factors do not reflect the potential future impact of any, alliance, merger, acquisition, disposition or stock repurchases. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the initial filing of this Quarterly Report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

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. They do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of WEX Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015. 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 months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying values of certificates of deposit, interest-bearing money market deposits, borrowed federal funds and credit agreement borrowings approximate their respective fair values as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable. All other financial instruments are reflected at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.



2.	New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to revenue recognition, which will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new revenue recognition standard requires entities to recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2015, the Board tentatively decided to defer the original effective date of interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 by one year. As a result, public entities would apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original public entity effective date (that is, annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 related to the simplification of the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires entities to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods and provide the applicable disclosures for a change in accounting principal: (i) the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle; (ii) the transition method; (iii) a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted; and, (iv) the effect of the change on the financial statement line item. The adoption of this standard affects presentation only and, as such, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04 related to using a practical expedient for the measurement date of an employer’s defined benefit obligation and plan assets.The new standard gives an entity with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a calendar month-end the ability, as a practical expedient, to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month-end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. Additionally, the new standard provides guidance on accounting for (i) contributions to the plan and (ii) significant events that require a remeasurement (e.g., a plan amendment, settlement, or curtailment) that occur during the period between a month-end measurement date and the employer’s fiscal year-end. An entity should reflect the effects of those contributions or significant events in the measurement of the retirement benefit obligations and related plan assets. As a separate practical expedient, an entity may elect to measure the effects of a significant event as of the calendar month-end closest to the date of the significant event. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard should be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2014-05 will have a material impact on its results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05 related to customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The new standard requires a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for the fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with how the acquisition of other software licenses is accounted for under accounting guidance for internal-use software. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either (i)

prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (ii) retrospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2014-05 will have a material impact on its results of operations.



3.	Business Acquisitions

Esso portfolio in Europe

On December 1, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of the Esso portfolio in Europe through a majority owned subsidiary, WEX Europe Services Limited. The Company formed this entity during 2013 and has 75 percent ownership. The Company paid $377,618 in cash, which includes an $80,000 advance payment made in the third quarter of 2014. The purchase price is subject to an estimated future working capital adjustment that is expected to be settled in 2015. The transaction was financed through the Company’s cash on hand and existing credit facility. Under the terms of the transaction, WEX purchased ExxonMobil’s commercial fleet fuel card program which includes operations, funding, pricing, sales and marketing in nine countries in Europe. As part of the transaction, both parties have agreed to enter into a long term supply agreement to serve the current and future Esso Card customers and to grow the business. The Company entered into this transaction in order to expand its presence in the European market and to broaden its international footprint, while laying the foundation for further expansion.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company obtained preliminary information to assist in determining the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Esso portfolio in Europe transaction. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company obtained additional information to assist in determining the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Based on such information, the Company retrospectively adjusted the fiscal year 2014 comparative information resulting in an increase in goodwill of $549, a decrease in accounts receivable of $2 and a decrease in other tangible assets and liabilities, net, including consideration receivable of $547. Based on such information, the Company recorded intangible assets and goodwill as described below. The Company is still reviewing the valuation as well as performing procedures to verify the completenesses and accuracy of the data used in the independent valuation of all assets and liabilities. The Company has not finalized the purchase accounting. Goodwill related to this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations for the Esso portfolio in Europe are presented in the Company's Fleet Payment Solutions segment.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired:



Consideration paid (net of cash acquired and consideration receivable)	$	377,618

Supplemental pro forma financial information related to the Esso portfolio in Europe acquisition has not been provided as it would be impracticable to do so. Historical financial information regarding the acquired assets is not accessible and, thus, the amounts would require estimates to be significant and render the disclosure irrelevant.

Acquisition of Evolution1

On July 16, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Evolution1, a leading provider of cloud-based technology and payment solutions within the healthcare industry, for approximately $532,174 in cash.

4.	Sale of Subsidiary and Assets

rapid! PayCard

On January 7, 2015, the Company sold the assets of its operations of rapid! PayCard for $20,000, subject to final working capital adjustments which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1,215. The Company's primary focus in the U.S. continues to be in the fleet, travel, and healthcare industries. As such, the Company divested the operations of rapid! PayCard. The operations of rapid! PayCard were not material to the Company's annual revenue, net income or earnings per share. The Company does not view this divestiture as a strategic shift in its Other Payment Solution segment.

Pacific Pride

On July 29, 2014, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Pride for $49,664, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $27,490. The transfer of the operations of Pacific Pride occurred on July 31, 2014. The Company decided to sell the operations of Pacific Pride as it did not align with the long-term strategy of the core fleet business. The operations of Pacific Pride were not material to the Company's annual revenue, net income or earnings per share. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company entered into a multi-year agreement with the buyer that will continue to allow WEX branded card acceptance at Pacific Pride locations. The Company does not view this divestiture as a strategic shift in its Fleet Payment Solution segment.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the assets and liabilities sold:



Consideration received	$	49,664
Less:
Expenses associated with the sale	1,340
Accounts receivable	48,699
Accounts payable	(53,001		)
Other tangible assets and liabilities, net	828
Customer relationships	3,727
Trademarks and trade name	1,444
Goodwill	19,137
Gain on sale	$	27,490



5.	Reserves for Credit Losses

In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company began to extend revolving credit to certain customers with respect to small fleet receivables. The portfolio of receivables consists of a large group of smaller balance homogeneous amounts that are collectively evaluated for impairment. No customer made up more than seven percent of the outstanding receivables at March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, approximately 95 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was current and approximately 98 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was less than 60 days past due. As of March 31, 2014, approximately 96 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was current and approximately 99 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due. The outstanding balance is made up of receivables from a wide range of industries.

8.	Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are utilized to manage the Company's commodity price risk. The Company enters into put and call option contracts related to the Company’s commodity price risk, which are based on the wholesale price of gasoline and the retail price of diesel fuel and settle on a monthly basis. These put and call option contracts, or fuel price derivative instruments, are designed to reduce the volatility of the Company’s cash flows associated with its fuel price-related earnings exposure in North America.

During the fourth quarter of 2014 the Company suspended purchases under its fuel derivatives program due to unusually low prices in the commodities market. Management will continue to monitor the fuel price market and evaluate its alternatives as it relates to this hedging program.

Beginning in April 2014, the Company initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program. The Company uses currency forward contracts to offset the foreign currency impact of balance sheet translation. Prior to the first quarter of 2015, the Company managed foreign currency exchange exposure on an intra-quarter basis. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company held foreign currency exchange contracts that were outstanding over the quarter-end period, minimized foreign cash balances, and expanded the scope of its hedging program to include more currencies. The realized and unrealized gains or losses on the currency forward contracts are reported in earnings within the same unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income line as the impact of the foreign currency translation, net foreign currency (loss) gain.

Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s fuel price derivative instruments and foreign currency instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under the current accounting guidance, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following put and call option contracts related to the Company's commodity fuel price derivatives, which are not designated as hedging contracts and settle on a monthly basis:



	Aggregate Notional Amount (gallons) ^(a)
Fuel price derivative instruments – unleaded fuel
Option contracts settling April 2015 – March 2016	23,947
Fuel price derivative instruments – diesel
Option contracts settling April 2015 – March 2016	11,790
Total fuel price derivative instruments	35,737


^(a)	The settlement of the put and call option contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange’s New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following forward and spot contracts related to its foreign currency exchange contracts, which are not designated as hedging contracts and settle at various dates within approximately 40 days:



	Aggregate Notional Amount ($)
Foreign currency exchange contracts	366,991

9.	Financing and Other Debt

2014 Credit Agreement

As of March 31, 2015, we have $336,497 of borrowings against our $700,000 revolving credit facility. The outstanding debt under our amortizing term loan arrangement, which expires in January of 2018, totaled $479,375 at March 31, 2015 and $486,250 at December 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, amounts outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 225 basis points, (b) the prime rate plus 175 basis points for our domestic borrowings; and the Eurocurrency rate plus 225 basis points for our international borrowings.

UNIK debt

UNIK had approximately $6,160 of debt as of March 31, 2015, and $7,975 of debt as of December 31, 2014. UNIK's debt is comprised of various credit facilities held in Brazil, with various maturity dates. The weighted average annual interest rate was 13.4 percent as of March 31, 2015, and 13.9 percent as of December 31, 2014. This debt is classified in Other debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented.

Participation debt

During the second quarter of 2014, WEX Bank entered into an agreement with a third party bank to fund a customer balance that exceeded WEX Bank's lending limit to an individual customer. This borrowing carries a variable interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25 percent. The balance of the debt as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $45,000,which, in each case, was secured by an interest in the underlying customer receivable. The participation debt balance

will fluctuate on a daily basis based on customer funding needs, and will range from $0 to $45,000. The participation debt agreement will mature on April 1, 2016. This debt is classified in Other debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented.



10.	Fair Value

The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives (see Note 8, Derivative Instruments) and certain other financial instruments which are carried 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. In determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, various factors are considered, 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.

The following table presents the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value and the related hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2015:

$400 Million Notes outstanding

The Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2015, have a carrying value of $400,000 and fair value of $397,000. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the $400,000 in Notes outstanding had a fair value of $388,000. The fair value is based on market rates for the issuance of our debt. The Company determined the fair value of its Notes outstanding are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-sale securities and executive deferred compensation plan trust

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of exchange-traded equity securities.

Table of Contents

WEX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and 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 classified as Level 2. The obligations related to the 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.

Foreign currency exchange contracts

Derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach (Level 2) based on the spot rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. We consider counterparty credit risk in the valuation of our derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk did not impact the valuation of our derivatives during the first quarter of 2015.

Fuel price derivative instruments

The majority of fuel price derivative instruments entered into by the Company are executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques, as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The principal technique used to value these instruments is a comparison of the spot price of the underlying instrument to its related futures curve adjusted for the Company’s assumptions of volatility and present value, where appropriate. The fair values of derivative contracts reflect the expected cash the Company will pay or receive upon settlement of the respective contracts.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, the spot price of the underlying instruments, volatility, and correlation. The item is placed in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and inputs with longer tenures are generally less observable.

Fuel price derivative instruments – diesel. The assumptions used in the valuation of the diesel fuel price derivative instruments use both observable and unobservable inputs. There is a lack of price transparency with respect to forward prices for diesel fuel. Such unobservable inputs are significant to the diesel fuel derivative contract valuation methodology.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments designated as Level 3 as of March 31, 2015, are as follows:



	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range $ per gallon
Fuel price derivatives – diesel	$	10,261	Option model	Future retail price of diesel fuel after March 31, 2015	$3.72 – 3.86

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs. As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments are the future retail price of diesel fuel from the second quarter of 2015 through the first quarter of 2016. Significant changes in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

13.	Income Taxes

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $8,731 at March 31, 2015, and $7,733 at December 31, 2014. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. The Company has determined that the amount of taxes attributable to these undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.



14.	Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in pending litigation in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



15.	Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2015 the Company recorded restructuring costs of approximately $8,559 related to the Company's global review of operations. This global review identified certain initiatives to further streamline the business, improve the Company's efficiency, and to globalize the Company's operations, all with an objective to improve scale and increase profitability going forward. The costs related to this initiative are employee termination benefits and are expected to be paid during the remainder of 2015 and 2016. The Company has determined that the amount of expense related to this program is probable and estimable and has recorded the impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and in Accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.



16.	Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets. The operating segments are aggregated into the two reportable segments as described below.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company’s operating and reportable segments based upon revenues and adjusted pre-tax income before NCI which adjusts income before income taxes for fair value changes of fuel price derivative instruments, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, the expense associated with stock-based compensation, acquisition related expenses and adjustments, the net impact of tax rate changes on the Company’s deferred tax asset and related changes in the tax-receivable agreement, deferred loan costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, certain non-cash asset impairment charges, gains on the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement, restructuring charges, gain or losses on divestitures and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests.

The Company operates in two reportable segments, Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from our corporate purchase cards and virtual and prepaid card products. The corporate purchase card products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and to utilize the Company’s information management capabilities. The results of operations for Evolution1 are presented in the Company's Other Payment Solutions segment. Evolution1 contributed net revenues of approximately $24,828 and are not significant to

the adjusted pre-tax income before NCI. Management is currently evaluating its internal reporting structure and is in the process of determining the impact of the changes on the Company’s segment and goodwill reporting.

Net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are allocated to the Fleet Payment Solutions segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are not allocated to the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014, the notes accompanying those financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Overview

WEX is a leading provider of corporate card payment solutions. We have expanded the scope of our business into a multi-channel provider of corporate payment solutions. We currently operate in two business segments: Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. Our business model enables us to provide exceptional payment security and control across a spectrum of payment sectors. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with fleet vehicle payment processing services specifically designed for the needs of commercial and government fleets. Fleet Payment Solutions revenue is earned primarily from payment processing, account servicing and transaction processing, with the majority of revenue generated by payment processing. Management estimates that WEX fleet cards are accepted at over 90 percent of fuel locations in each of the United States and Australia. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment processing solutions for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs through our payment products. Other Payment Solutions revenue is earned primarily from payment processing revenue from our virtual card product. The Other Payment Solutions segment has operations in North America, Europe, Australia and Brazil.

The Company’s U.S. operations include WEX, Fleet One,WEX Bank and Evolution1. Our international operations include our wholly-owned subsidiaries WEX Fuel Cards Australia, WEX Prepaid Cards Australia, WEX New Zealand and WEX Europe, located in England, and our majority equity positions in UNIK, a Brazil based company, and our majority owned subsidiary WEX Europe Services, located in the United Kingdom.

Summary

Below are selected items from the first quarter of 2015:


•	Other payment solutions purchase volume grew by approximately $1.4 billion from the first quarter of 2014 to $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 37 percent, primarily driven by our acquisition of Evolution1 in July of 2014 and also due to virtual card volume increases.


•	Average number of vehicles serviced increased 19 percent from the first quarter of 2014 to approximately 9.3 million for the first quarter of 2015, primarily related to our European fleet business.

•

Total fuel transactions processed increased 6 percent from the first quarter of 2014 to 98.1 million for the first quarter of 2015. Total payment processing transactions in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment increased 12 percent to 81.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same quarter in 2014. Transaction processing transactions decreased 16 percent to 16.2 million for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the same quarter in 2014, primarily due to the divestiture of Pacific Pride in July of 2014.

•

Average expenditure per payment processing transaction in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment decreased 24 percent to $65.23 for the first quarter of 2015, from $85.94 for the same period in the prior year. The average U.S. fuel price per gallon during the first quarter of 2015 was $2.57, a 29 percent decrease over the same period in the prior year. The average Australian fuel price per gallon during the first quarter of 2015 was $3.73, a 30 percent decrease as compared to the same period in the prior year. Although we have partially hedged against the impact of domestic fuel price fluctuations on earnings, if prices remain low, our future revenue and earnings will be negatively impacted.

•

Credit loss expense in the Fleet Payment Solutions segment was $3.6 million during the first quarter of 2015, as compared to $8.9 million during the first quarter of 2014. Spend volume decreased 15 percent in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the same quarter last year and our credit losses were 6.8 basis points of fuel expenditures for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to 14.1 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last year.


•	Realized gains on our fuel price derivatives during the first quarter of 2015 were $12.1 million as compared to a realized loss of $1.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

•

In the first quarter of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program, which we expanded in the first quarter of 2015. Movements in these exchange rates associated with our foreign held currencies combined with the results of our foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a loss of $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2015.

•

Our effective tax rate was 42.0 percent for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 36.8 percent for the first quarter of 2014. Discrete items in the first quarter of 2015, including prior year true-ups as well as the tax effects of restructuring charges booked in the first quarter of 2015, contributed to the higher effective tax rate, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. Future tax rates may fluctuate due to changes in the mix of earnings among different tax jurisdictions. Our tax rate may also fluctuate due to the impacts that rate and mix changes have on our net deferred tax assets. We anticipate that our future GAAP effective tax rate should be within the range of our historical rates.

Table of Contents

Revenues

Payment processing revenue decreased $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014. This decrease is primarily due to a 29% decrease in the average domestic price per gallon of fuel in 2015 as compared to 2014. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in payment processing volume related to our European fleet business.

Our account servicing revenue increased $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. This increase is primarily due to growth in our WEX Telematics business as well as an increase in revenue related to our European fleet business.

Our finance fees revenue increased $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in the first quarter is primarily due to additional factoring revenue as well as higher late fees associated with changes to our waiver practice. Payments for customer receivables are due within thirty days or less. Late fee revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent. The late fee is calculated using a stated late fee rate based on the outstanding balance. 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 the number of customers with overdue balances.

Operating Expenses

NM - Not meaningful

Changes in operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, include the following:

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in headcount related to our European fleet business.

In the first quarter of 2015 we recorded restructuring costs of approximately $8.6 million related to our global review of operations. The costs related to this initiative are employee termination benefits and are expected to be paid during the remainder of 2015 and 2016.

Service fees increased by $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. Service fees increased compared to the prior year due to expenses associated with the start up of our European fleet business program. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in service fees related to the divestiture of Pacific Pride that occurred on July 31, 2014.

Provision for credit losses decreased by $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on the payment processing transactions. This metric for credit losses was 6.8 basis points of fuel expenditures for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 14.1 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last 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 reduced expense we recognized in the quarter is a reflection of lower fleet receivables as compared to the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of lower fuel prices.

Technology leasing and support expenses increased $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the addition of the operations of our European fleet business.

Table of Contents

Depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses increased $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in depreciation expense is primarily related to depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquisition of the Esso portfolio in Europe. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses related to the divestiture of Pacific Pride.

Fuel price derivatives

We own fuel price derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of the volatility in domestic fuel prices on our cash flows. These fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our fuel price sensitive derivative instruments affect our net income.

Changes in fair value and settlements of these instruments and the changes in average fuel prices in relation to the underlying strike price of the instruments are shown in the following table:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per gallon data)	2015			2014
Fuel price derivatives, at fair value, beginning of period	$	40,969		$	(7,358	)
Net change in fair value	2,749			1,845
Cash payments on settlement	(12,094		)	978
Fuel price derivatives, at fair value, end of period	$	31,624		$	(4,535	)
Collar range:
Floor	$	3.34		$	3.38
Ceiling	$	3.40		$	3.44
Domestic average fuel price, beginning of period	$	2.56		$	3.53
Domestic average fuel price, end of period	$	2.55		$	3.69

Changes in fuel price derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, are attributable to the movements in fuel prices in the corresponding periods. As of March 31, 2015, the projected future price of fuel is below the average future floor price of our derivatives, resulting in a net asset on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Losses that are realized on these derivatives are offset by higher payment processing revenue we receive because such revenues are dependent, in part, on the current price of fuel. Conversely, realized gains are offset by lower payment processing revenue.

During the fourth quarter of 2014 we suspended purchases under our fuel derivatives program due to unusually low prices in the commodities market. Management will continue to monitor the fuel price market and evaluate our alternatives as it relates to this hedging program. The Company currently does not plan to hedge our fuel price risk exposure for WEX Fuel Cards Australia,WEX PrePaid Cards Australia or the Esso portfolio in Europe as the earnings exposure to fuel price movements are typically more limited than it is domestically.

Loss on foreign currency transactions

In the first quarter of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. Furthermore, the recent addition of the Esso portfolio has increased this type of exposure. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program and expanded this program in the first quarter of 2015. The results of these hedges are recorded in Net foreign currency (loss) gain. We believe that our partial hedging program will help to mitigate the volatility associated with holding certain foreign currency balances. The fluctuations in exchange rates combined with the results of the foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a loss of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Financing interest expense

Financing interest expense increased $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of the prior year. On August 22, 2014, we entered into the 2014 Credit Agreement. The 2014 Credit Agreement amends and restates the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2014 Credit Agreement increased the outstanding amount of the term loans from $277.5 million to $500.0 million, and accordingly, financing interest expense related to the term loan outstanding was higher in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Revenues

Payment processing revenue increased $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to revenue associated with Evolution1, which was acquired in July of 2014, as well as higher corporate charge card purchase volume from our virtual WEX Travel product. Additionally, the increase was partially due to an increase in the virtual card net interchange rate of 6 basis points for the first three months of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. On November 9, 2012, the U.S District Court granted preliminary approval to the MasterCard/VISA merchant interchange settlement. Under the terms of this settlement, the domestic interchange rate for our branded credit card transactions was reduced by 10 basis points for a period of eight months, that began on July 29, 2013. This reduction, as well as the impact of the acquisition of Evolution1, was reflected in the interchange rate in the first quarter of 2014.

Account servicing revenue increased $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases are primarily due to revenue associated with Evolution1.

Other revenue for the first quarter of 2015 increased by approximately $5.0 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to revenues associated with Evolution1, as well as changes in fees charged to customers in Brazil.

Operating Expenses

The following table compares selected expense line items within our Other Payment Solutions segment for the three months ended:



					Increase (decrease)
(in thousands)	March 31, 2015		March 31, 2014		Amount		Percent
Expense
Salary and other personnel	$	15,779	$	7,500	$	8,279	110	%
Service fees	$	17,871	$	16,827	$	1,044	6	%
Technology leasing and support & occupancy and equipment	$	5,120	$	3,284	$	1,836	56	%
Depreciation, amortization and impairment	$	6,810	$	1,619	$	5,191	321	%

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to increased employee compensation expenses from the acquisition of Evolution1 and is partially offset by the divestiture of rapid! PayCard on January 7, 2015.

Service fees increased $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily related to the operations of Evolution1, and is partially offset by a decrease in product servicing fees related to the divestiture of rapid! PayCard.

Technology leasing and support and occupancy and equipment expense collectively increased $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to additional expenses from Evolution1.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses increased $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily related to amortization expense associated with the intangible assets acquired with Evolution1.

Loss on foreign currency transactions

In the first quarter of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the re-measurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. In April 2014, we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program and expanded this program in the first quarter of 2015. We believe that our partial hedging program will help to mitigate the volatility associated with holding certain foreign currency balances. These fluctuations in exchange rates combined with the results of the foreign currency exchange hedging program resulted in a $4.0 million loss for the first quarter of 2015.

Financing interest expense

Financing interest expense increased $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of the prior year. The increase is due to the debt incurred to purchase Evolution1.

Non-GAAP financials measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we publicly discuss additional financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. Although Adjusted Net Income is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure is integral to our reporting and planning processes. We consider this measure integral because it eliminates the non-cash volatility associated with the fuel price related derivative instruments, and excludes other specified items that our management excludes in evaluating our performance. Specifically, in addition to evaluating our performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates our performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:


•	Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative instruments helps management identify and assess trends in our underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with fuel-price related derivative contracts.


•	The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate.

Table of Contents


•	The amortization of purchased intangibles, deferred loan costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, acquisition related expenses, non-cash adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of our business.

•

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 us is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.


•	Restructuring charges are primarily related to workforce reductions and estimated costs of exiting facilities. We exclude these items when evaluating our continuing business performance as such items are not consistently recurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor provide meaningful insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business.


•	The gain or loss from a divestiture is not indicative of the performance of the ongoing operations of our business.

•

We consider certain acquisition-related costs, such as investment banking fees, transition expenses, such as termination benefits, financing fees and warranty and indemnity insurance, to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired 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. We believe that excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.

For the same reasons, we believe that Adjusted Net Income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our 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 us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income to net earnings attributable to WEX Inc.:



	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Adjusted Net Income attributable to WEX Inc.	$	42,876		$	41,612
Unrealized (loss) gain on fuel price derivatives	(9,345		)	2,823
Amortization of acquired intangible assets	(12,159		)	(8,287		)
Stock-based compensation	(3,218		)	(2,423		)
Restructuring	(8,559		)	—
Gain on divestiture	1,215			—
ANI adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests	2,381			185
Tax impact	9,154			2,632
Net earnings attributable to WEX Inc.	$	22,345		$	36,542

The tax impact of the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted Net Income is the difference between our GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon our Adjusted Net Income before taxes. The methodology utilized for calculating our Adjusted Net Income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating our GAAP tax provision.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit agreement, term loan and $400 million in Notes outstanding, as well as other available methods of financing (including deposits and borrowed federal funds), are adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.

The table below summarizes our cash activities:



(in thousands)	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	171,647	$	(77,756	)
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities	4,707		(11,359		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	51,208		81,827

WEX Bank issued certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between nine months and two years and with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.50 percent to 1.05 percent as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately $212.6 million of certificates of deposit outstanding, compared to $385.6 million of certificates of deposits outstanding as of March 31, 2014. Certificates of deposit are subject to regulatory capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately $310.4 million of interest-bearing money market deposits with a weighted average interest rate of 0.26 percent, compared to $218.2 million of interest-bearing money market deposits at March 31, 2014, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent. WEX Bank also has non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and non-interest bearing customer deposits. As of March 31, 2015, we had $571.3 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $39.2 million of non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. As of March 31, 2014, we had $564.5 million of non-interest bearing NOW account deposits and $21.9 million of non-interest bearing customer deposits outstanding. Deposits are subject to regulatory capital requirements.

As of both March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had no outstanding balance on our federal funds line of credit. As of both March 31, 2015 and 2014 we had $125.0 million of available credit on this line.

We added $12.1 million in capital additions during the first three months of 2015, primarily related to the development of internal-use software as we expand globally and provide competitive products and services to our customers. We expect total capital expenditures for 2015 to be approximately $65 to $70 million.

We purchased $22.0 million in treasury shares during the first three months of 2015.

Liquidity

WEX Bank utilizes brokered deposits, NOW deposits and borrowed federal funds to finance our accounts receivable. We continue to have access to these short-term borrowing instruments to fund our accounts receivable. Our cash balance for the first three months of 2015 increased $226.3 million, deposits increased by $155.7 million and our financing debt decreased by $79.3 million. Our accounts receivable decreased $17.8 million and our accounts payable increased $110.3 million, primarily due to volume increases.

In general, our trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we began to extend revolving credit to certain customers with respect to small fleet receivables. Receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement are generally subject to late fees based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. As of March 31, 2015, approximately 95 percent of the outstanding balance of $1.8 billion, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 98 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due. As of March 31, 2014, approximately 96 percent of the outstanding balance of $2.0 billion, was less than 30 days past due and approximately 99 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due.

On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Credit Agreement, among the Company and a syndicate of lenders. The 2013 Credit Agreement provided for a five-year amortizing $300 million term loan facility, and a five-year $800 million secured revolving credit facility with a $150 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The indebtedness covenant under the 2013 Credit Agreement required that the Company reduce the revolving commitments under the 2013 Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Company issued more than $300 million in principal amount of senior or senior subordinated notes of the Company. Subject to certain conditions, including obtaining relevant commitments, the Company had the option to increase the facility by up to an additional $100 million.

Table of Contents

The 2013 Credit Agreement replaced the 2011 Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011. The 2013 Credit Agreement increased the outstanding amount of the term loan from $185 million to $300 million and increased the availability under the revolving credit facility from $700 million to $800 million. On January 30, 2013, the Company completed a $400 million offering in aggregate principal amount of 4.75 percent senior notes due 2023 at an issue price of 100.0 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from January 30, 2013, in a private placement for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of January 30, 2013 among the Company, the guarantors listed therein, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2023, and interest will accrue at the rate of 4.75 percent per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2013. As a result of the issuance of the Notes, on January 30, 2013, the revolving loan commitment under the 2013 Credit Agreement was reduced to $700 million.

On August 22, 2014 we entered into the 2014 Amendment Agreement and the 2014 Credit Agreement, to modify certain terms of out existing bank borrowing agreements, including the 2013 Credit Agreement, in order to permit the additional financing and investments necessary to facilitate the consummation of the Esso portfolio in Europe transaction. The amendments provided for a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $222.5 million for a total term loan facility of $500 million, a $700 million secured revolving credit facility with a $150 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $20 million sublimit for swingline loans, that either mature or terminate on January 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2015, we have approximately 2.8 years left on our $700 million revolving credit facility and have $336.5 million of borrowings against it. The outstanding debt under our amortizing term loan arrangement, which expires in January of 2018, totaled $479.4 million at March 31, 2015 and $486.3 million at December 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, amounts outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 225 basis points, (b) the prime rate plus 175 basis points for our domestic borrowings; and the Eurocurrency rate plus 225 basis points for our international borrowings.

We decreased our overall financing debt (2014 Credit Agreement and Notes), excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, by $79.3 million during the first three months of 2015 with a balance outstanding of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2015.

Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants including restrictions in certain situations on the payment of dividends. WEX Bank is not subject to certain of these restrictions. We have been, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions.

On January 7, 2015, we sold our operations of rapid! PayCard for $20.0 million, subject to final working capital adjustments which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million.

As of March 31, 2015, we have approximately $46.8 million in cash located in our foreign entities, outside of the United States.

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $8.7 million as of March 31, 2015. We currently do not plan to repatriate these earnings. If we were to distribute such earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. The Company’s primary tax jurisdictions are the United States and Australia.

Earnings outside of the U.S. 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.

In April 2014 we initiated a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program. In 2014 we managed foreign currency exchange exposure on an intra-quarter basis. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we held contracts outstanding over the quarter end period, minimized foreign cash balances, and expanded the scope of our hedging program to include more currencies. Without the use of these foreign currency exchange rate derivatives, we would be unprotected from changes in foreign currency rates. Because this is a partial foreign currency exchange hedging program, we have additional foreign currency exchange exposure which is not hedged. We believe that our partial hedging program will help mitigate volatility associated with holding certain foreign currency balances.

Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
