Frequently Asked Questions
What were the primary drivers of revenue growth in Q3 2013?
Revenue growth was primarily driven by a combination of organic growth in existing payment programs, an increase in both transaction volume and revenue per transaction, and the full-period impact of acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2013. The International segment, in particular, saw significant revenue increases due to strategic acquisitions.
How has the company's acquisition strategy impacted its financial performance?
Acquisitions have been a key growth strategy, contributing significantly to revenue and operational expansion. The company completed several substantial acquisitions in the first nine months of 2013, totaling $482.5 million, which expanded its global reach, particularly in international markets. These acquisitions are also credited with driving higher revenue per transaction compared to the company's existing businesses.
What is the company's liquidity position and ability to fund operations and future growth?
FleetCor maintains a strong liquidity position with $345.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013. Additionally, the company has access to significant credit facilities, including an $850 million revolving credit facility and a $500 million securitization facility. Management believes these resources, combined with cash flow from operations, are sufficient to meet liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months, absent major acquisition opportunities.
How are fuel prices and fuel-price spreads impacting the company's business?
Fuel prices and their associated spreads have a notable impact on FleetCor's revenue. While higher fuel spread margins positively contributed to revenue in the third quarter, lower fuel prices and foreign exchange rate fluctuations had a mixed but slightly negative impact on the International segment's revenue. Approximately 20% of revenue is directly influenced by the absolute price of fuel, and about 15-17% is tied to fuel-price spreads.
