WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), a leading financial technology service provider, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

“In the first quarter, we delivered strong momentum sequentially, exceeded our revenue expectations and achieved $16.8 billion of total purchase volume, driven by meaningful contributions in all segments. In aggregate, Fleet, Corporate Payments and Health are above pre-pandemic revenue levels. These solid results reflect a number of exciting new wins and renewals as well as a robust pipeline of opportunities that give me confidence in our ability to drive market share gains through the remainder of the year.” said Melissa Smith, WEX’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer.

Ms. Smith added, “In the first quarter, we built upon our strong technology foundation and are accelerating our innovation by integrating our product capabilities across the entire WEX platform and exposing these capabilities through APIs. We continue to find new ways to deliver value to customers and prospects, creating strong new sales momentum which will be coupled with the continued recovery of purchase volume as mobility increases. Importantly, we focused on empowering our employees to grow and thrive in a values-based environment. These efforts, guided by our refreshed strategic pillars, will serve as the foundation of WEX’s next chapter of growth. I’m pleased with the impressive accomplishments made this quarter, which I expect to be just the start of another exciting and pivotal year for WEX.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 decreased 5% to $410.8 million from $431.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. This revenue decrease in the quarter includes a $1.0 million unfavorable impact from fuel prices and spreads and $3.9 million positive impact from foreign exchange rates.

Net loss attributable to shareholders on a GAAP basis decreased by $13.7 million to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $16.3 million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020. The Company's adjusted net income attributable to shareholders, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $81.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, or $1.79 per diluted share, down 1% per diluted share from $79.7 million or $1.81 per diluted share for the same period last year. See Exhibit 1 for a full explanation and reconciliation of adjusted net (loss) income attributable to shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders per diluted share to the comparable GAAP measures.

First Quarter 2021 Performance Metrics

  • Average number of vehicles serviced was approximately 15.8 million, an increase of 4% from the first quarter of 2020.
  • Total fuel transactions processed decreased 3% from the first quarter of 2020 to 146.4 million. Payment processing transactions decreased 3% to 118.4 million.
  • Travel and Corporate Solutions' purchase volume decreased 24% to $6.1 billion from $8.0 billion in the first quarter of 2020.
  • Health and Employee Benefit Solutions' average number of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) accounts in the U.S. grew 7% to 15.5 million from 14.5 million in the first quarter of 2020.

“We carried the strong momentum exiting 2020 through the first quarter as we continued to successfully execute against our refined strategic pillars and position WEX for long-term sustainable growth. Improvements in macro-economic factors, the faster pace of vaccinations and increasing re-openings across WEX’s end markets combined with underlying strength across the business, drove WEX to see sequential improvements and exceed our revenue expectations this quarter,” said Roberto Simon, WEX’s Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, our balance sheet and liquidity remain healthy with the amended credit facility that closed in April as we prepare to make the strategic acquisitions we have announced. I am encouraged by this strong start to the year and expect these trends to continue.”

1 As the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the diluted weighted average shares outstanding equals the basic weighted average shares outstanding for those periods. The non-GAAP adjustments described above resulted in adjusted net income attributable to shareholders (versus a loss on a GAAP basis) for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020. Therefore, dilutive common stock equivalents have been included in the calculation of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at adjusted per share data.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization, adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests and certain tax related items.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating income excludes acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, stock-based compensation, other costs, and debt restructuring costs. Total segment adjusted operating income incorporates these same adjustments and further excludes unallocated corporate expenses.

Although adjusted net income, adjusted operating income and total segment adjusted operating income are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these non-GAAP measures are integral to the Company's reporting and planning processes and the chief operating decision maker of the Company uses segment adjusted operating income to allocate resources among our operating segments. The Company considers these measures integral because they exclude the above specified items that the Company's management excludes in evaluating the Company's performance. Specifically, in addition to evaluating the Company's performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates the Company's performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:

  • Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and investment securities, helps management identify and assess trends in the Company's underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with these financial instruments. Additionally, the non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate.
  • Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations.
  • The Company considers certain acquisition-related costs, including investment banking fees, warranty and indemnity insurance, certain integration related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles, as well as gains and losses from divestitures, to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired or divested 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. The Company believes that excluding acquisition-related costs and gains or losses of divestitures facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company's historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
  • 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 the Company is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.
  • We exclude certain other costs when evaluating our continuing business performance when such items are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. These include costs related to certain identified initiatives (including technology initiatives) to further streamline the business, improve the Company's efficiency, create synergies, and globalize the Company's operations, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, other costs additionally include a penalty of $10.3 million incurred on termination of a contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, other costs include certain costs incurred in association with COVID-19, including the cost of providing additional health, welfare and technological support to our employees as they work remotely.
  • Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method, which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry.
  • The adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests, including adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest and non-cash adjustments related to the tax receivable agreement, have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the business.
  • The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s U.S. GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s adjusted net income before taxes as well as the impact from certain discrete tax items. The methodology utilized for calculating the Company’s adjusted net income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating the Company’s U.S. GAAP tax provision.
  • The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments, as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.

For the same reasons, WEX believes that adjusted net income, adjusted operating income and total segment adjusted operating income may also be useful to investors when evaluating the Company's performance. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted operating income and total segment adjusted operating income are non-GAAP measures, they 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, adjusted operating income and total segment adjusted operating income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

To determine the impact of foreign exchange translation (“FX”) on revenue, revenue from entities whose functional currency is not denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as revenue from purchase volume transacted in non-U.S. denominated currencies, were translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the same period in the prior year, exclusive of revenue derived from 2020 acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates.

To determine the impact of price per gallon of fuel (“PPG”) on revenue, revenue subject to changes in fuel prices was calculated based on the average retail price of fuel for the same period in the prior year for the portion of our business that earns revenue based on a percentage of fuel spend, exclusive of revenue derived from 2020 acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates. For the portions of our business that earn revenue based on margin spreads, revenue was calculated utilizing the comparable margin from the prior year.

To determine the estimated earnings impact of FX on revenue and expenses from entities whose functional currency is not denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as revenue and variable expenses from purchase volume transacted in non-U.S. denominated currencies, amounts were translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the same period in the prior year, net of tax, exclusive of revenue and expenses derived from 2020 acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates.

To determine the estimated earnings impact of PPG, revenue and certain variable expenses impacted by changes in fuel prices were adjusted based on the average retail price of fuel for the same period in the prior year for the portion of our business that earns revenue based on a percentage of fuel spend, net of applicable taxes, exclusive of revenue and expenses derived from 2020 acquisitions for one year following the acquisition dates. For the portions of our business that earn revenue based on margin spreads, revenue was adjusted to the comparable margin from the prior year, net of non-controlling interests and applicable taxes.
