Frequently Asked Questions
What were the main drivers of revenue growth in the second quarter of 2015?
Revenue growth was primarily driven by strategic acquisitions, most notably the Comdata acquisition completed in late 2014. Organic growth in payment programs also contributed, though it was partially offset by the negative impacts of the macroeconomic environment, including lower fuel prices and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
How did the Comdata acquisition impact the company's financial performance?
The Comdata acquisition significantly boosted revenue, particularly in the North America segment. However, it also led to increased operating expenses, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation, which put pressure on operating margins.
What is the company's liquidity position as of June 30, 2015?
The company had $384.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. It also had significant availability under its Securitization Facility ($48 million) and Credit Facility ($654 million), indicating a strong liquidity position sufficient to meet its foreseeable needs.
What are the key risks or challenges highlighted in the report for the second quarter of 2015?
Key challenges include volatility in fuel prices and fuel-price spreads, unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements impacting the international segment, and the integration and operational costs associated with recent acquisitions. General economic conditions also pose a risk.
