Other payment solutions purchase volume grew by approximately
$1.3 billion
from the
second
quarter of
2014
to
$5.7 billion
for the
second
quarter of
2015
, an increase of
31 percent
, primarily driven by our acquisition of Evolution1 in July of 2014 and also due to virtual card volume increases.
|
•
|
Average number of vehicles serviced increased
24 percent
from the
second
quarter of
2014
to approximately
9.8 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
, primarily driven by our the acquisition of our European fleet business in December of 2014.
|
•
|
Total fuel transactions processed increased
5 percent
from the
second
quarter of
2014
to
103.1 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
. Total payment processing transactions in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment increased
11 percent
to
86.7 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
as compared to the same quarter in
2014
. Transaction processing transactions decreased
19 percent
to
16.4 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
, as compared to the same quarter in
2014
, primarily due to the divestiture of Pacific Pride in July of 2014.
|
•
|
Average expenditure per payment processing transaction in our Fleet Payment Solutions segment decreased
22 percent
to
$68.98
for the
second
quarter of
2015
, from
$88.46
for the same period in the prior year. The average U.S. fuel price per gallon during the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$2.74
, a
27 percent
decrease over the same period in the prior year. The average Australian fuel price per gallon during the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$3.91
, a
28 percent
decrease as compared to the same period in the prior year. Although we have partially hedged against the impact of domestic fuel price fluctuations on earnings, if prices remain low, our future revenue and earnings will be negatively impacted.
|
•
|
Credit loss expense in the Fleet Payment Solutions segment was
$3.1 million
during the
second
quarter of
2015
, as compared to
$6.3 million
during the
second
quarter of
2014
. Spend volume decreased
14 percent
in the
second
quarter of
2015
, as compared to the same quarter last year and our credit losses were
5.3
basis points of fuel expenditures for the
second
quarter of
2015
, as compared to
9.1
basis points of fuel expenditures for the same period last year.
|
•
|
Realized gains on our fuel price derivatives during the
second
quarter of
2015
were
$9.0 million
as compared to a realized loss of
$2.7 million
for the same period in the prior year.
|
•
|
In the first half of 2015, we experienced fluctuations in exchange rates that resulted in a significant devaluation of major currencies to which our business is exposed, including the Australian dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling.
|
•
|
On April 28, 2015, we entered into a
one year
securitized debt agreement with a bank. Under the terms of the agreement, each month, on a revolving basis, we sell certain of its Australian receivables to a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary consolidated by us ("Securitization Subsidiary"). The Securitization Subsidiary, in turn, uses the receivables as collateral to issue asset-backed commercial paper ("securitized debt") for approximately 85 percent of the securitized receivables. The amount collected on the securitized receivables is restricted to pay the securitized debt and is not available for general corporate purposes.
|
•
|
Our effective tax rate was
38.4 percent
for the
second
quarter of 2015 as compared to
35.8 percent
for the
second
quarter of 2014. Discrete items in the
second
quarter of 2015 contributed to the higher effective tax rate, as compared to the
second
quarter of 2014. Future tax rates may fluctuate due to changes in the mix of earnings among different tax jurisdictions. Our tax rate may also fluctuate due to the impacts that rate and mix changes have on our net deferred tax assets. We anticipate that our future GAAP effective tax rate should be within the range of our historical rates.

Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative instruments helps management identify and assess trends in our underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with fuel-price related derivative contracts.
|
•
|
The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on fuel-price related derivative 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 foreign currency cash, receivable and payable balances, certain intercompany notes and any gain or loss on foreign currency hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items will improve the comparison of operating results.
|
•
|
The amortization of purchased intangibles, deferred loan costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, acquisition related expenses, non-cash adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of our business.
|
•
|
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 us is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.
|
•
|
The gain or loss from a divestiture is not indicative of the performance of the ongoing operations of our business.
|
•
|
We consider certain acquisition-related costs, such as investment banking fees, transition expenses, such as termination benefits, financing fees and warranty and indemnity insurance, to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired 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. We believe that excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
