NORCROSS, Ga.--()--FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products to businesses, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

“Q4 revenue and adjusted net income per share finished above the high end of our guidance range, and Q4 new sales bookings recovered quite nicely,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. “We are expecting 2017 to be a great year, with organic revenue growth accelerating to 10%, and adjusted net income projected to grow 19%, at the mid-point of the guidance range.”

Financial Results for Fourth Quarter of 2016:

  • Adjusted net income per diluted share1 increased 10% to $6.92 in 2016 compared to $6.30 in 2015.

Fiscal-Year 2017 Outlook:

“In 2017, we expect that the macro-economic environment will finally turn around, and positively impact revenue by approximately $30 million, and adjusted net income per share by $0.12. However, higher projected interest rates and an unfavorable tax comparison to 2016 will more than offset the favorable macro, and result in a net unfavorable impact to adjusted net income per share of approximately $0.12,” said Eric Dey, chief financial officer FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc.

For 2017, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. financial guidance and assumptions are as follows:

  • Total revenues between $2,170 million and $2,230 million;
  • GAAP net income between $550 million and $570 million;
  • GAAP net income per diluted share between $5.78 and $5.98;
  • Adjusted net income between $770 million and $790 million; and
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share1 between $8.10 and $8.30.

FLEETCOR’s guidance assumptions for 2017 are as follows:

  • Weighted fuel prices equal to $2.43 per gallon average in the U.S. for those businesses sensitive to the movement in the retail price of fuel for 2017 compared to $2.15 per gallon average in the U.S. in 2016, up approximately 13%.
  • Market spreads returning closer to historical levels, up slightly from the 2016 average.
  • Foreign exchange rates equal to the seven day average ended January 22, 2017.
  • Interest expense of $100 million compared to $72 million in 2016.
  • Fully diluted shares outstanding of 95 million shares.
  • Full year tax rate of approximately 29.5% for 2017 compared to 28.0% in 2016, excluding losses from our equity method investment.
  • No impact related to acquisitions or material new partnership agreements not already disclosed.

FLEETCOR’s guidance assumption for the first quarter of 2017:

For those of you that are looking for guidance for the first quarter, the business has some seasonality and typically the first quarter is the lowest in terms of both revenue and profit. First quarter seasonality is impacted by weather, holidays in the U.S., and lower business levels in Brazil, due to summer break and the Carnival celebration that occurs in the first quarter.

With that said, the Company is expecting first quarter adjusted net income per diluted share to be between $1.82 and $1.88. Additionally, volumes will build throughout the year, and new asset initiatives are also expected to gain momentum throughout the year resulting in higher organic growth rates and earnings per share in the second through fourth quarters.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted revenue is calculated as revenues, net less merchant commissions. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income, adjusted to eliminate (a) non-cash stock based compensation expense related to share based compensation awards, (b) amortization of deferred financing costs, discounts and intangible assets, (c) amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, (d) our proportionate share of amortization of intangible assets at our equity method investment, (e) a non-recurring net gain at our equity method investment and (f) impairment of our equity method investment. The Company uses adjusted revenue’s as a basis to evaluate the Company’s revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants to participate in our card programs. The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate. The Company believes this is a more effective way to evaluate the company’s revenue performance. We prepare adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted revenues and adjusted net income are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net, net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash stock based compensation expense from adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time and stock based compensation expense is not a key measure of our core operating performance. We also believe that amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of their acquired intangible assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired; therefore, we have excluded amortization expense from our adjusted net income. We also believe one-time non-recurring gains and impairment charges do not necessarily reflect how our equity method investment and business is performing. Reconciliations of GAAP results to non-GAAP results are provided in the attached exhibit 1. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance is provided in the attached exhibit 5.

Management uses adjusted revenues and adjusted net income:

  • as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis;
  • for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget;
  • to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and
  • to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies.

We believe adjusted revenues, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share are key measures used by the company and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.
