World Fuel Services Corporation Announces Share Repurchase Program and Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 12, 2016--World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to $100 million in common stock. This board action replaces the previously announced June 2015 share repurchase authorization.

Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of shares to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors also declared its quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share payable on October 12, 2016 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2016.

“Our business continues to generate strong cash flows, with $471 million of operating cash flow over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2016,” said Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our confidence in World Fuel’s long-term prospects and continued commitment to enhancing shareholder value, through a combination of dividends and share repurchases, principally to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock awards.”
