Frequently Asked Questions
What is the overall financial performance of CORPAY, INC. in Q2 2018?
CORPAY, INC. reported strong financial performance in Q2 2018, with an 8.1% increase in total revenues to $585.0 million and a significant 35.0% rise in net income to $176.9 million. This growth was driven by a combination of acquisitions, organic expansion in both North America and International segments, and effective cost management, partially offset by the impact of adopting ASC 606 and foreign currency fluctuations.
How did the adoption of ASC 606 affect the reported financial results?
The adoption of ASC 606, effective January 1, 2018, led to presentation changes in the statements of income, primarily reclassifying certain amounts previously reported as merchant commissions and processing expenses into revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, this adoption reduced reported consolidated revenues by approximately $23 million. The company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method, meaning prior periods were not restated.
What is the company's strategy for growth, and how are acquisitions contributing?
CORPAY's growth strategy heavily relies on strategic acquisitions and organic expansion. Acquisitions completed in 2017, such as Cambridge Global Payments and CLS, are now contributing meaningfully to revenue growth. The company continues to seek acquisition opportunities to expand its customer base and service offerings, and is also investing in organic growth through dedicated sales forces and marketing efforts.
How is the company managing its debt and liquidity?
As of June 30, 2018, CORPAY maintained a solid liquidity position with $1.185 billion in cash and cash equivalents and had $444 million in available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility. The company utilized a securitization facility for a portion of its domestic receivables to manage funding efficiently. Interest expenses increased due to higher borrowings related to acquisitions and share repurchases, as well as rising LIBOR rates, but the company remained in compliance with all debt covenants.
