NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which are of a normal recurring nature, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2021.

With the exception of the accounting policy over convertible debt, which was impacted by the early adoption of ASU 2020–06 effective January 1, 2021 (refer to Adoption of a New Accounting Standard later within this Note and Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements), we have applied the same accounting policies in preparing these quarterly financial statements as we did in preparing our 2020 annual financial statements.

The Company rounds amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to thousands and calculates all per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.

Adoption of a New Accounting Standard

The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, utilizing the modified-retrospective approach, recognizing the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date, without restatement of prior period amounts. ASU 2020-06 simplifies accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. This standard eliminates the bifurcation of the equity component associated with the cash conversion feature for convertible notes, which were previously recorded within equity. As a result of adoption, the Convertible Notes and its conversion feature are now accounted for as a single unit of account.

The following table illustrates the adoption impact of ASU 2020-06:

	January 1, 2021
(In thousands)	Prior to adoption		Impact of adoption		As reported
Long-term debt, net	$	2,874,113	$	52,115	$	2,926,228
Deferred income taxes, net (within total liabilities)	$	220,122	$	(12,109)	$	208,013
Additional paid-in capital	$	872,711	$	(41,982)	$	830,729
Retained earnings	$	1,286,976	$	1,976	$	1,288,952

The Company continues to apply the if-converted method to calculate the impact of the Convertible Notes on the diluted earnings per share as required by ASU 2020-06. See Note 6, Earnings per Share, for more information.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date/Method of Adoption	Effect on financial statements or other significant matters
Adopted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
ASU 2020–06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging –Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)	This standard simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. Among other changes, this standard removes from GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible debt instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The standard also requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share.	The Company early adopted ASU 2020–06 effective January 1, 2021, using the modified-retrospective approach.	Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for a summary of the financial statement effects as a result of this ASU adoption. Additionally, interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount on our Convertible Notes is expected to decline approximately $5.5 million during the year ending December 31, 2021 as a result of the adoption of this ASU.
Not Adopted as of June 30, 2021
ASU 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform and ASU 2021–01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope	These standards provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential financial reporting burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. If certain criteria are met, an entity will not be required to remeasure or reassess contracts impacted by reference rate reform.	Election is available through December 31, 2022.	The Company is currently evaluating the implications of these amendments to its current efforts for reference rate reform implementation and any impact the adoption of these ASUs would have on its financial condition and results of operations.

3. Revenues

    In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the applicable contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided.

Contract Balances

The majority of the Company’s receivables, which are excluded from the table below, are either due from cardholders who have not been deemed the Company’s customer as it relates to interchange income or from revenues earned outside of the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s contract assets consist of upfront payments made to customers under long-term contracts and are recorded upon payment or when due. The resulting asset is amortized against revenue as the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of customer payments received before the Company has satisfied the associated performance obligations and upfront payments due to the customer.

The following table provides information about these contract balances:

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2021 represent the remaining minimum monthly fees on a portion of contracts across the lines of business and contractually obligated professional services yet to be provided by the Company. The following table includes revenue expected to be recognized related to remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period and is not indicative of the Company’s future revenue, as it relates to an insignificant portion of the Company’s operations.

3 Represents deferred revenue and contractual minimums associated with payment processing service obligations.

4. Acquisitions

Asset Acquisition

On April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. completed the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to certain health savings accounts from the Healthcare Bank division of Bell Bank, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc. This acquisition increases the Company’s role in its customer-directed healthcare ecosystem and aligns with its growth strategy. On the closing of the acquisition, WEX Inc. paid Bell Bank initial cash consideration of $200.0 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, WEX Inc. agreed to make an additional deferred cash payment of $25.0 million in July 2023 and a second additional deferred cash payment of $25.0 million in January 2024. As of June 1, 2021, in connection with the acquisition by WEX Health of Cirrus Holdings, LLC further discussed below in this Note 4, the second deferred payment of $25.0 million was reduced by the amount of $12.5 million (the “Payment Reduction”). As a result of the Payment Reduction, WEX Inc. continues to owe Bell Bank $12.5 million for the second additional deferred cash payment, which is due and payable in January 2024.

The purchase agreement also includes potential additional consideration payable annually that is calculated on a quarterly basis and is contingent, and based, upon any future increases in the Federal Funds rate. The contingent payment period began on July 1, 2021 and shall extend until the earlier of (i) the year ending December 31, 2030, or (ii) the date when the cumulative amount paid as contingent consideration equals $225.0 million.

WEX INC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

Given the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition, recognizing $263.4 million as a definite-lived intangible asset as of the acquisition date, with a weighted average life of 5.6 years. As more fully described in Note 13, Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest, as part of this acquisition WEX Inc. allocated $11.2 million of the initial cash consideration to the repurchase of SBI’s non-controlling interest in the U.S. Health business, reducing SBI’s ownership percentage to 4.53 percent. Additionally, the Company recorded an initial deferred liability of $47.4 million equal to the present value of the deferred cash payments and a derivative liability of $27.2 million related to the additional consideration contingent upon future increases in the Federal Funds rate.

Refer to Note 12, Fair Value, for further information on the valuation of the derivative liability. The deferred payments and derivative liability are presented as other liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were immaterial and expensed as incurred.

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in WEX Europe Services

On April 13, 2021, the Company both entered into a share purchase agreement for, and consummated the acquisition of, the remaining interest in WEX Europe Services it did not own previously, which consisted of 25 percent of the issued ordinary share capital, for a purchase price of $97.0 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns 100 percent of the issued ordinary share capital of WEX Europe Services, which operates part of our European Fleet business. This transaction further streamlines the European Fleet business in order to create revenue synergies and increases our ability to manage the associated cost structure. Given the Company had a controlling interest in WEX Europe Services prior to the transaction, the acquisition has been accounted for as an equity transaction.

Non-controlling interest1	(13,077)

Business Acquisitions

The following acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs on completed business combinations were $1.9 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and immaterial for the same periods of 2020.

benefitexpress Acquisition

On June 1, 2021, WEX Inc.’s subsidiary, WEX Health, completed the acquisition of Cirrus Holdings, LLC, the indirect owner of Benefit Express Services, LLC, which is a provider of highly configurable, cloud-based benefits administration technologies and services doing business under the name benefitexpress (the “benefitexpress Acquisition”). The transaction expanded the Company’s role in the healthcare ecosystem, bringing together benefit administration, compliance services, and consumer-directed health and lifestyle spending accounts together to form a full-service benefits marketplace.

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive purchase agreement, WEX Health consummated the benefitexpress Acquisition for total consideration of approximately $275 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments.

WEX Health is owned by WEX Inc.’s subsidiary PO Holding LLC (“PO Holding”), which is majority owned by WEX Inc., with a non-controlling interest being held by SBI, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc., the owner of Bell Bank. To facilitate the benefitexpress Acquisition, WEX Inc., PO Holding, SBI and Bell Bank entered into a subscription agreement with respect to PO Holding (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, on June 1 2021, WEX Inc. purchased approximately $262.5 million in value of shares in PO Holding and SBI acquired approximately $12.5 million in value of shares in PO Holding in exchange for SBI granting the Payment Reduction to WEX Inc. with respect to the asset acquisition from Bell Bank.

The table below summarizes the preliminary allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. These fair values may continue to be revised during the measurement period as third-party valuations on the intangible assets are finalized, further information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and these adjustments could have a material impact on the purchase price allocation.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition:

(In thousands)
Cash consideration transferred, net of $15.0 million in cash and restricted cash acquired	$	259,087
Less:
Accounts receivable	3,103
Customer relationships(a)(c)	86,100
Developed technologies(b)(c)	19,600
Other assets	4,387
Accrued expenses	(3,498)
Restricted cash payable	(14,328)
Other liabilities	(5,177)
Recorded goodwill	$	168,900

(a) Weighted average life -11.5 years.

(b) Weighted average life - 5.5 years.

(c) The weighted average life of the $105.7 million of amortizable intangible assets acquired in this business combination is 10.4 years

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the anticipated synergies of acquiring the businesses. The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Since the acquisition date through June 30, 2021, benefitexpress has contributed $2.9 million in total revenues, and the amount of income before income taxes contributed to Company operations was immaterial. No pro forma information has been included in these financial statements, as the operations of benefitexpress for the period that they were not part of the Company are not material to the Company’s revenues, net income and earnings per share.

eNett and Optal

On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) to purchase eNett, a leading provider of B2B payment solutions to the travel industry, and Optal, a company that specializes in optimizing B2B payments transactions. The parties’ obligations to consummate the acquisition were subject to customary closing conditions, including the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Original Purchase Agreement between WEX, eNett and Optal, among others). The Company subsequently concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic and conditions arising in connection with it had a Material Adverse Effect on the businesses, which was disproportionate to the effect on others in the relevant industry. Because of this Material Adverse Effect, WEX formally advised eNett and Optal on May 4, 2020 that it was not required to close the transaction pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. On May 11, 2020, the shareholders of eNett and Optal each initiated separate legal proceedings in the High Court of Justice of England and Wales in the United Kingdom against the Company seeking a declaration that no Material Adverse Effect had occurred and an order for specific performance of WEX's obligations under the Original Purchase Agreement. A London court held a trial of certain preliminary issues from September 21, 2020 through September 29, 2020 and handed down its judgement on October 12, 2020. The Company and the claimants each sought permission to appeal certain portions of the Court’s judgment.

On December 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Deed of Settlement (the “Settlement Deed”) between the Company, eNett, Optal and the other parties thereto, providing for, among other things, (i) the dismissal with prejudice of the legal proceedings and appeals described above, (ii) the amendment of the Original Purchase Agreement (as amended by the Settlement Deed, the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) and (iii) the release of all claims capable of arising out of, or in any way connected with or relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, but excluding any of the claims arising under the Amended Purchase Agreement.

The closing of the acquisition occurred concurrent with the execution of the Settlement Deed on December 15, 2020. The Amended Purchase Agreement provided for, among other things, a reduction of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition to $577.5 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments as described in the Amended Purchase Agreement, which resulted in a total cash payment of $615.5 million, after a $1.9 million working capital adjustment for Optal received by the Company during the first quarter of 2021 and a $2.0 million working capital adjustment for eNett paid by the Company during the second quarter of 2021. The Company purchased these businesses to complement its existing Travel and Corporate Solutions segment and expand its international footprint, creating synergies from the increased scale of our operations.

The Company determined that the aggregate purchase price represents consideration paid for the businesses acquired and for the settlement of the legal proceedings described above. The preliminary fair value of the businesses acquired was estimated to be $415.0 million using a discounted cash flow analysis and guideline transaction method. Since the Company was not able to reliably estimate the fair value of the legal settlement, the residual value of $162.5 million has been allocated to the settlement of the legal proceedings, which was included in legal settlement expense during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The table below summarizes the allocated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. These fair values may continue to be revised during the measurement period as third-party valuations on the intangible assets are finalized, further information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and these adjustments could have a material impact on the purchase price allocation.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, based on the fair value at the date of acquisition:

5. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts billed to and due from customers across a wide range of industries and other third parties. The Company often extends short-term credit to cardholders and pays the merchant for the purchase price, less the fees it retains and records as revenue. The Company subsequently collects the total purchase price from the cardholder. In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Receivables not paid in full by payment due dates as stated within the terms of the agreement are generally considered past due and subject to late fees and interest based upon the outstanding receivables balance. The Company discontinues late fee and interest income accruals on outstanding receivables once customers are 90 and 120 days past the invoice due date, respectively. Payments received subsequent to discontinuing late fee and interest income accruals are first applied to outstanding late fees and interest, and the Company resumes accruing interest and late fee income as earned on future receivables balances. Receivables are generally written off when they are 180 days past invoice origination date or upon declaration of bankruptcy of the customer, subject to local regulatory restrictions.

The Company extends revolving credit to certain small fleets. These accounts are also subject to late fees and balances that are not paid in full are subject to interest charges based on the revolving balance. The Company had approximately $78.9 million and $60.2 million in receivables with revolving credit balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The allowance for accounts receivable consists primarily of reserves for credit losses, reflecting management’s current estimate of uncollectible balances on its accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are evaluated for impairment on a pooling basis based on similar risk characteristics including industry of the borrower, historical or expected credit loss patterns, risk ratings or classification, and geographic location. The following tables present changes in the accounts receivable allowances by portfolio segment:

1 The provision is comprised of estimated credit losses based on the Company’s loss-rate experience and adjustments required for forecasted credit loss information. The provision for credit losses reported within this table also includes the provision for fraud losses.

2 The Company earns revenue by assessing monthly finance fees on accounts with overdue balances. These fees are recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain customer relationship goodwill. Charges to other accounts represents the offset against the late fee revenue recognized when the Company establishes a reserve for such waived amounts.

3 The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects an increase in expected credit losses as a result of COVID-19.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The receivables portfolio consists of a large group of homogeneous smaller balances across a wide range of industries, which are collectively and individually evaluated for impairment. No one customer receivable balance represented 10 percent or

more of the outstanding receivables balance at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The following table presents the outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that are less than 30 and 60 days past due, in each case, as a percentage of total trade accounts receivable:

Delinquency Status	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
29 days or less past due	99	%	97	%
59 days or less past due	99	%	98	%

6. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the numerator is increased for tax effected interest expense associated with our Convertible Notes and the denominator is increased for the assumed issuance of common shares issuable on convertible securities under the if-converted method unless the effect is antidilutive. Additionally, diluted earnings per share includes the assumed exercise of dilutive options and the assumed issuance of unvested restricted stock units and performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is antidilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.

The following table summarizes net (loss) income attributable to shareholders and reconciles basic and diluted shares outstanding used in the earnings per share computations:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net (loss) income attributable to shareholders	$	(33,856)	$	72,658	$	(36,421)	$	56,402

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Diluted	44,788		43,779		44,566		43,896

1 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 0.9 million and 1.0 million, respectively, of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as the effect of including these awards would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 0.6 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as the effect of including these awards would be anti-dilutive.

It is the Company’s intention to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes in shares of the Company's common stock. Under the if-converted method, approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock associated with the assumed conversion of these Convertible Notes as of the beginning of the period have been excluded from diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the effect of including such shares would be antidilutive.

7. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instrument arrangements to manage various risks including interest rate risk.

Interest rate swap contracts

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had six interest rate swap contracts in effect with a collective notional amount at inception of $1.4 billion, with maturity dates ranging from December 31, 2021 to December 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into five additional interest rate swap contracts with a collective notional amount of $0.9 billion, with maturity dates ranging from May 31, 2024 to May 29, 2026. As of June 30, 2021, outstanding interest rate swap contracts are intended to economically hedge the LIBOR component of future interest payments associated with outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

8. Deposits

WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. See Note 18, Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure, for further information concerning these FDIC requirements.

WEX Bank accepts its deposits through: (i) certain customers as required collateral for credit that has been extended (“customer deposits”) and (ii) contractual arrangements with brokerage firms for both certificate of deposit and brokered money market deposit products. Customer deposits are generally non-interest bearing, certificates of deposit are issued at fixed rates and brokered money market deposits are issued at both fixed and variable interest rates based on LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate.

3 Certificates of deposit include certain brokered money market deposits, which have a fixed maturity and interest rate.

In accordance with regulatory requirements, WEX Bank normally maintains reserves against a portion of its outstanding customer deposits by keeping balances with the Federal Reserve Bank, however, due to temporarily relaxed Federal Reserve requirements enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no required reserve at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

ICS Purchases

From time to time, WEX Bank utilizes alternative funding sources such as Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC’s ICS service, which provides for one-way buy transactions among banks for the purposes of purchasing cost-effective variable-rate funding without collateralization. WEX Bank may purchase brokered money market demand accounts and demand deposit accounts in amounts not to exceed $125.0 million through this service. There were no outstanding balances for ICS purchases at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2021, the Company amended and restated the 2016 Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to (i) increase commitments under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility from $870.0 million to $930.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) provide additional senior secured tranche A term loans (the “Tranche A Term Loans”) resulting in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans equal to $978.4 million, (iii) re-establish the senior secured tranche B term loans’ aggregate principal amount at $1,442.0 million (the “Tranche B Term Loans”), (iv) eliminate the 0.75 percent eurocurrency rate floor with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (v) make certain other changes to the previously existing 2016 Credit Agreement, including without limitation, (a) extending the maturity dates for the Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility to April 1, 2026 and the maturity date for the Tranche B Term Loans to April 1, 2028, (b) providing additional flexibility with respect to certain negative covenants, prepayments and other provisions of the Company’s previously existing 2016 Credit Agreement, and (c) revising the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio for all future quarters, including a reduction from 7.50 to 1:00 to 6.25 to 1:00 for quarters ending through September 30, 2021, with step-downs in periods thereafter. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin, which is fixed at 1.25 percent for base rate borrowings and 2.25 percent with respect to eurocurrency rate borrowings. Prior to maturity, the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans require scheduled quarterly payments of $12.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, due on the last day of each March, June, September and December.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an outstanding principal amount of $966.2 million on the Tranche A Term Loans, an outstanding principal amount of $1,438.4 million on the Tranche B Term Loans, borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility of $265.0 million and letters of credit of $51.7 million drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2021, amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bore a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.2 percent. As of December 31, 2020, amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement bore a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.3 percent. The Company maintains interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its outstanding variable-interest rate borrowings. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments, for further discussion. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging, as of June 30, 2021, from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent of the daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility (which was 0.40 percent at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020) determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

The Company accounted for the amendment and restatement of the 2016 Credit Agreement as both a debt modification and extinguishment, and consequently recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.4 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $5.5 million of third-party debt restructuring costs associated with the amendment and restatement, which have been classified within general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Debt discounts and financing fees totaling $16.1 million, incurred in conjunction with the amendment and restatement, were capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the respective debt facilities using the effective interest method.

Debt Covenants

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants affecting the Company and its subsidiaries including, in certain limited circumstances, WEX Bank and the Company’s other regulated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants of its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Notes Outstanding

On March 15, 2021, the Company redeemed $400.0 million of Notes outstanding, which were otherwise scheduled to mature on February 1, 2023. The redemption price of the Notes was $400.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. Prior to redemption, interest was payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. Unamortized debt issuance costs previously incurred and capitalized in conjunction with the Notes were accelerated as of the redemption date and amortized in full to interest expense of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Convertible Notes

Pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 29, 2020, on July 1, 2020, the Company closed on a private placement with an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC (together with its affiliate, "Warburg Pincus"), pursuant to which the Company issued the Convertible Notes due on July 15, 2027 in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million and 577,254 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $389.2 million, of which $90.0 million constituted the purchase price for the shares, reflecting a purchase price of $155.91 per share.

The issuance of the Convertible Notes provided the Company with net proceeds of approximately $299.2 million after original issue discount. The Convertible Notes have a seven-year term maturing July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Interest is calculated at a fixed rate of 6.5 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. At the Company's option, interest is either payable in cash, through accretion to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, or a combination of cash and accretion.

The Convertible Notes may be converted at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity, or earlier redemption or repurchase of the Convertible Notes, based upon an initial conversion price of $200 per share of common stock. The Company may settle conversions of Convertible Notes, at its election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustments customary for convertible debt securities and a weighted average adjustment in the event of issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company at prices below the then applicable conversion price for the Convertible Notes or the then market price of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain exceptions, including exceptions with respect to underwritten offerings, Rule 144A offerings, private placements at discounts not exceeding a specified amount, issuances as acquisition consideration and equity compensation related issuances.

The Company will have the right, at any time after July 1, 2023, to redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part if the closing price of WEX's common stock is at least 200 percent of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes for 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) out of any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to the time the Company delivers a redemption notice, (including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the last day of such 30 trading day period), subject to the right of holders of the Convertible Notes to convert its Convertible Notes prior to the redemption date.

In the event of certain fundamental change transactions, including certain change of control transactions and delisting events involving the Company, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase its Convertible Notes at 105 percent of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, plus the present value of future

interest payments through the date of maturity. There were no shares issued upon conversion, exercise or satisfaction of required conditions under these Convertible Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Until January 1, 2021, the Convertible Notes were separated into liability and equity components. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified-retrospective approach under which separation of the conversion feature into an equity component is no longer required, and the Company now accounts for the Convertible Notes and its conversion feature as a single unit of account. The remaining debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the seven-year contractual life of the Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2021, the Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent.

Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2021, the “if-converted” value of the Convertible Notes was less than the respective principal amount.

Associated unsecured borrowings generally carry a variable interest rate of 1 month to 3 month LIBOR plus a margin of 225 basis points.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding participation agreement for the borrowing of up to $60.0 million through December 31, 2021. There were no amounts borrowed against this participation agreement as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Borrowed Federal Funds

WEX Bank borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable.

10. Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

WEX Europe Services Accounts Receivable Factoring

Under a factoring arrangement between WEX Europe Services and an unrelated third-party financial institution, the Company sells customer accounts receivable balances without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the credit limit established by the buyer. The agreement remains in effect through December 31, 2021, after which the agreement automatically renews annually unless either party gives not less than 90 days written notice of their intention to withdraw. If customer receivable balances exceed the buyer’s credit limit, the Company maintains the risk of default. The Company obtained a true-sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon WEX Europe Services bankruptcy or receivership under local law and creates a sale of receivables for amounts transferred both below and above the established credit limits. The Company continues to service these receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. As such, transfers under this arrangement are treated as sales and are accounted for as reductions in trade accounts receivable because effective control of the receivables is transferred to the buyer.

The Company sold $144.7 million and $263.7 million of accounts receivable under this arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold $75.9 million and $204.7 million of accounts receivable under this arrangement, respectively. Proceeds received, which are recorded net of applicable costs, including interest and commissions, are recorded in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The loss on factoring, recorded within cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the loss on factoring was $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of each of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of outstanding transferred receivables in excess of the established credit limit was immaterial. Charge-backs on balances in excess of the credit limit during each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were immaterial.

WEX Bank Accounts Receivable Factoring

Under a factoring agreement with an unrelated third-party financial institution, WEX Bank sells certain of its trade accounts receivable under non-recourse transactions. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the agreement was extended through August 2022, after which the agreement can be renewed for successive one-year periods assuming WEX provides advance written notice that is accepted by the purchaser. The Company obtained a true-sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon WEX Bank bankruptcy or receivership under local law. WEX Bank continues to service the receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. As such, transfers under this arrangement are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade accounts receivable because effective control of the receivables is transferred to the buyer.

The Company sold $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion of trade accounts receivable under this arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold $0.2 billion and $2.9 billion of accounts receivable under this arrangement, respectively. Proceeds received, which are reported net of a negotiated discount rate, are recorded in operating activities in the statements of cash flows. The loss on factoring, which is recorded within cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

11. Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities were purchased and are held by WEX Bank primarily to meet the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities are recognized within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s debt securities, and any changes in their fair values, are not material individually or in the aggregate as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Purchases, sales and maturities associated with investment securities are treated as investing activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Refer to Note 12, Fair Value, for further information.

12. Fair Value

Certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. Various factors are considered in determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors underlying options and derivatives; price activity for equivalent instruments; and the Company’s own credit standing. These valuation techniques may be based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

1 The fair value is recorded in cash and cash equivalents.

2 The fair value of this security is measured at NAV as a practical expedient and has not been classified within the fair value hierarchy. The amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

3 The fair value is recorded as current or long-term based on the timing of the Company’s executive deferred compensation plan payment obligations. At June 30, 2021, $1.5 million and $9.4 million in fair value is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively. At December 31, 2020, $0.9 million and $8.7 million in fair value is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively.

4 The fair value is recorded as current or long-term depending on the timing of expected discounted cash flows. At June 30, 2021, $5.9 million of fair value was recorded in other assets. At June 30, 2021, $25.1 million and $12.3 million in fair value is recorded within other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. At December 31, 2020, $22.0 million and $22.9 million in fair value is recorded within other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively.

5 The fair value is recorded in other liabilities.

Money Market Mutual Funds

A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds that primarily consist of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.

Investment Securities

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of an open-ended mutual fund, which is invested in fixed-income securities and is held in order to satisfy the regulatory requirements of WEX Bank. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and municipal bonds, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally valued using Level 2 inputs.

Pooled Investment Fund

(In thousands)	Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments	Redemption Frequency	Redemption Notice Period
Pooled investment fund, as of June 30, 2021	$	9,000	—	Monthly	30 days

The pooled investment fund is a Community Reinvestment Act-eligible investment fund, which seeks to provide bank investors with current income consistent with the returns available in adjustable-rate government guaranteed financial products by investing in Community Development loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The fund maintains individual capital accounts for each investor, which reflect each individual investor’s share of the NAV of the fund.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust

The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps based on the discounted cash flows of the difference between the projected fixed payments on the swaps and the implied floating payments using the current LIBOR curve, which are Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the asset acquisition from Bell Bank discussed in Note 4, Acquisitions, the Company is obligated to pay additional consideration contingent upon increases in the Federal Fund rate. The Company determined the fair value of this contingent consideration derivative liability based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the baseline Federal Funds rate in the purchase agreement with Bell Bank and future forecasted Federal Funds rates over the agreement term. The forecasted Federal Funds rates represent a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 1.41 percent. Significant increases or decreases in the Federal Fund rates could result in material increases or decreases, respectively, to the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability.

The Company records changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the contingent consideration liability are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and during the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

(In thousands)	Fair Value
Contingent consideration – December 31, 2020	$	—
Contingent consideration recorded as a result of the acquisition (Note 4)	$	27,200
Change in estimated fair value	$	47,700
Contingent consideration – June 30, 2021	$	74,900

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Carrying Value, for which Fair Value is Disclosed

Term Loans and borrowings on Revolving Credit Facility

The Company determines the fair value of the Tranche A and Tranche B Term Loans outstanding based on the market rates for the issuance of the Company’s debt, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of both the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans, approximated fair value. The principal amount of the outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as the interest rate on this facility is a variable market-based rate.

Convertible Notes

The Company determines the fair value of the Convertible Notes outstanding using our stock price and volatility, the conversion premium on the Convertible Notes and effective interest rates for similarly-rated credit issuances, all of which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of our Convertible Notes approximated $392.2 million and $405.6 million, respectively.

Other Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented above, include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, certificates of deposit, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The carrying values of such assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of interest-bearing brokered money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt and borrowed federal funds approximate their respective fair values, as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable market-based rates.

13. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

On March 5, 2019, the Company acquired Discovery Benefits, an employee benefits administrator. The seller of Discovery Benefits, SBI, obtained a 4.9 percent equity interest in PO Holding, the newly formed parent company of WEX Health and Discovery Benefits. SBI’s 4.9 percent non-controlling interest in PO Holding was initially established at both carrying value and fair value.

The agreement provides SBI with a put right and the Company with a call right for the equity interest, which can be exercised no earlier than seven years following the date of acquisition. Upon exercise of the put or call right, the purchase price is calculated based on a revenue multiple of peer companies (as described in the operating agreement for PO Holding) applied to trailing twelve month revenues of the U.S. Health business. The put option makes the non-controlling interest redeemable and, therefore, the non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity.

The Company calculates the redemption value of the non-controlling interest on a quarterly basis using revenue multiples as determined in accordance with the operating agreement for PO Holding and as described above. The redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the higher of its redemption value or the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the U.S. Health business’ net carrying value. Any resulting change in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest is offset against retained earnings and impacts earnings per share.

As part of WEX Inc.’s purchase of the HSA contractual rights from Bell Bank, as further described in Note 4, Acquisitions, on April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. and SBI entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of PO Holding LLC (“PO Holding Operating Agreement”), which reflected the Company’s purchase of $11.2 million of SBI’s non-controlling interest in PO Holding, which reduced SBI’s ownership percentage to 4.53 percent and amended the calculation of the price payable by WEX Inc. upon its exercise of its call right or upon SBI’s exercise of its put right to account for revenue generated by the assets acquired from Bell Bank.

Pursuant to the PO Holding Operating Agreement, SBI subsequently elected to participate in the equity financing of the benefitexpress Acquisition. As part of the Subscription Agreement more fully described in Note 4, Acquisitions, SBI agreed to pay the Company $12.5 million, which was equal to 4.53 percent of the purchase price. This receivable was ultimately settled through the Payment Reduction described in Note 4, Acquisitions.

14. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was (7.9) percent and (7.8) percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 310.8 percent and 104.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The significant decrease in the Company’s current year tax rate was primarily due to excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation. Effective tax rates were higher in the prior year primarily due to the jurisdictional earnings mix and decrease in estimated income before income taxes with relatively significant non-deductible expenses.

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $88.5 million and $58.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability; however, it is not expected to be material.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Restructuring Activities

In connection with the acquisition of eNett and Optal, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a restructuring program within the Travel and Corporate Solutions segment. The restructuring initiative consisted of employee separation costs, which the Company determined are probable and reasonably estimable. As such, the Company recorded charges incurred under this initiative of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Charges incurred under this initiative were immaterial during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this filing, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from all legal proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

Commitments

Minimum Volume Commitments

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to purchase a minimum amount of fuel from suppliers on an annual basis. If the minimum requirement is not fulfilled, they are subject to penalties based on the amount of spend below the minimum annual volume commitment. The Company incurred penalties of $1.5 million and $3.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of lower volumes resulting from COVID-19, which are offset against revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Commitments

Other significant commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2021 are consistent with those discussed in Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

16. Stock–Based Compensation

On June 4, 2021, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2019 Plan”), which had previously been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors subject to stockholder approval. The Amended 2019 Plan amends and restates the Company’s 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "Original 2019 Plan") to provide that (i) 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, reduced by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to awards granted under the Original 2019 Plan between March 21, 2021 and June 4, 2021, will be available for the issuance of new awards under the Amended 2019 Plan after the date of the annual meeting of stockholders which occurred on June 4, 2021, (ii) 1,235,669 shares of the Company’s common stock will be reserved for issuance in respect of awards granted under the Original 2019 Plan between May 9, 2019 and March 21, 2021, and (iii) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock as is equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to awards granted under the Company’s 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right will be made available for the issuance of awards under the Amended 2019 Plan.

Under the Amended 2019 Plan, the Company regularly grants equity awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to certain employees and directors. The fair value of restricted stock units, DSUs and performance-based restricted stock units, excluding awards that include a TSR provision, is based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date as reported by the NYSE. The fair value of each service-based stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of awards with market-based performance conditions, including those with TSR provisions, is estimated on the grant date using a Monte-Carlo simulation pricing model.

Stock-based compensation expense was $20.6 million and $38.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $14.2 million and $26.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

17. Segment Information

The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are aggregated into the three reportable segments described below.

•Fleet Solutions provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of commercial and government fleets. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers.

•Travel and Corporate Solutions focuses on the complex payment environment of B2B payments, providing customers with payment processing solutions for their corporate payment and transaction monitoring needs.

18. Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure

The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit our business activities and have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. As of June 30, 2021, the most recent FDIC exam report categorized WEX Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events subsequent to that examination report that management believes have changed WEX Bank’s capital rating.

Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:

•Overview

•Summary

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

•Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, the notes accompanying those financial statements and MD&A as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2021, and in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Part I – Item 1 of this report.

Overview

WEX Inc. is a leading financial technology service provider. We currently operate in three reportable segments: Fleet Solutions, Travel and Corporate Solutions, and Health and Employee Benefit Solutions. The Fleet Solutions segment provides customers with fleet vehicle payment processing services specifically designed for the needs of commercial and government fleets. The Travel and Corporate Solutions segment focuses on the complex payment environment of B2B payments, providing customers with payment processing solutions for their corporate payment and transaction monitoring needs. The Health and Employee Benefit Solutions segment generates a substantial majority of its revenues through the provision of consumer-directed healthcare payment products and processing through our U.S. SaaS platforms.

Summary

COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in January 2020, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The United States and the global communities in which we operate continue to face challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic although we, like many companies, are encouraged by the increased availability of vaccines and we look forward to an ultimate return to a more normalized working environment. To date however, we have continued to suspend most travel for employees, our office capacity generally remains limited and, since mid-March 2020, our employees have largely continued to work remotely in most geographies. While we continue to operate effectively during this challenge, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the global economy remains uncertain. The ultimate consequences will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics and the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic itself; including the impact, if any, of COVID variants.

Certain of our reportable segments, particularly Travel and Corporate Solutions, have been significantly impacted by COVID-19, however, we continue to see recovery across all segments with sequential improvement in transaction volumes, revenues and earnings during both the first and second quarters of 2021. The Company’s revenues are largely recurring in nature, therefore, as we add new volumes and our existing customer base recovers, we expect to capture the related growth.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2021, the Company amended and restated the 2016 Credit Agreement. For further information regarding this amendment and restatement refer to the following Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this MD&A and Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Financing and Other Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.

Asset Acquisition

On April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. completed the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to certain health savings accounts from the Healthcare Bank division of Bell Bank, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc. This acquisition increases the Company’s role in its customer-directed healthcare ecosystem and aligns with its growth strategy. On the closing of the acquisition, WEX Inc. paid Bell Bank initial cash consideration of $200.0 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, WEX Inc. agreed to make an additional deferred cash payment of $25.0 million in July 2023 and a second additional deferred cash payment of $25.0 million in January 2024. As of June 1, 2021, in connection with of the acquisition by WEX Health of Cirrus Holdings, LLC further discussed below, the second deferred payment of $25.0 million was reduced by the amount of $12.5 million (the “Payment Reduction”). As a result of the Payment Reduction, WEX Inc. continues to owe Bell Bank $12.5 million for the second additional deferred cash payment, which is due and payable in January 2024.

The purchase agreement also includes potential additional consideration payable annually that is calculated on a quarterly basis and is contingent, and based, upon any future increases in the Federal Funds rate. The contingent payment period began on July 1, 2021 and shall extend until the earlier of (i) the year ending December 31, 2030, or (ii) the date when the cumulative amount paid as contingent consideration equals $225 million.

Acquisition of remaining interest in WEX Europe Services

On April 13, 2021, the Company both entered into a share purchase agreement for, and consummated the acquisition of, the remaining interest in WEX Europe Services it did not own previously, which consisted of 25 percent of the issued ordinary share capital, for a purchase price of $97.0 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns 100 percent of the issued ordinary share capital of WEX Europe Services, which operates part of our European Fleet business. This transaction further streamlines the European Fleet business in order to create revenue synergies and manage the associated cost structure.

benefitexpress Acquisition

On June 1, 2021, WEX Inc.’s subsidiary, WEX Health, completed the acquisition of Cirrus Holdings, LLC, the indirect owner of Benefit Express Services, LLC, which is a provider of highly configurable, cloud-based benefits administration technologies and services doing business under the name benefitexpress (the “benefitexpress Acquisition”). The transaction expanded the Company’s role in the healthcare ecosystem, bringing together benefit administration, compliance services, and consumer-directed health and lifestyle spending accounts together to form a full-service benefits marketplace. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive purchase agreement, WEX Health consummated the benefitexpress Acquisition for total consideration of approximately $275 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments. WEX Inc. indirectly owns 95.47 percent of WEX Health. For further information regarding the structure of the benefitexpress Acquisition refer to Part I - Item 1 - 4, Acquisitions.

Notes Redemption

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020, on February 11, 2021, the Company provided irrevocable notice to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., of its intent to redeem its outstanding $400 million 4.75 percent senior secured notes due February 1, 2023. On March 15, 2021, the Company redeemed such senior secured notes outstanding for a redemption price of $400 million plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date.

Approximately 1.0 million of this increase relates to temporary accounts added directly as result of COBRA related services we performed as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act legislation.

Results of Operations

The Company does not allocate foreign currency gains and losses, financing interest expense, unrealized and realized gains and losses on financial instruments, income taxes and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests to our operating segments, as management believes these items are unpredictable and can obscure a segment’s operating trends and results. In addition, 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.

40

The Company’s operating expenses consist of the following:

Cost of Services

•Processing costs - The Company’s processing costs consist of expenses related to processing transactions, servicing customers and merchants and cost of goods sold related to hardware and other product sales.

•Service fees - The Company incurs costs from third-party networks utilized to deliver payment solutions. Additionally, other third-parties are utilized in performing services directly related to generating revenue.

•Provision for credit losses - Changes in the reserve for credit loss are the result of changes in management’s estimate of the losses in the Company’s outstanding portfolio of receivables, including losses from fraud.

•Operating interest - The Company incurs interest expense on the operating debt obtained to provide liquidity for its short-term receivables.

•Depreciation and amortization - The Company has identified those tangible and intangible assets directly associated with providing a service that generates revenue and records the depreciation and amortization associated with those assets under this category.

(d) Net payment processing rate represents the percentage of the dollar value of each payment processing transaction that WEX records as revenue from merchants less certain discounts given to customers and network fees. Continued customer mix shift to larger over-the-road fleets has resulted in a decline in our net payment processing rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Fleet Solutions revenue increased $70.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $64.0 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Revenues have been favorably impacted by higher domestic fuel prices as well as increased domestic and international volumes from the pandemic-driven lows of the second quarter of 2020. Favorable impact from fuel prices and spreads contributed to an increase of $33.3 million and $32.3 million in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Finance fee revenue is comprised of the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)				Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
(In thousands)	2021		2020		Amount		Percent		2021		2020		Amount		Percent
Finance income	$	45,235	$	35,071	$	10,164	29	%	$	86,385	$	81,811	$	4,574	6	%
Factoring fee revenue	14,023		7,392		6,631		90	%	24,713		15,994		8,719		55	%
Finance fee revenue	$	59,258	$	42,463	$	16,795	40	%	$	111,098	$	97,805	$	13,293	14	%

Finance income primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. This revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in the absolute amount of such outstanding balances can be attributed to: (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Late fee revenue can also be impacted by: (i) changes in late fee rates; and, (ii) increases or decreases in customer overdue balances. Late fee rates are determined and set based primarily on the risk associated with our customers, coupled with a strategic view of standard rates within our industry. Periodically, we assess the market rates associated within our industry to determine appropriate late fee rates. We consider factors such as the Company’s overall financial model and strategic plan, the cost to our business from customers failing to pay timely and the impact such late payments have on our financial results. These assessments are typically conducted at least annually but may occur more often depending on macro-economic factors.

Finance income increased $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $4.6 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were driven by improvement in spend volumes and fuel prices, offset in part by lower customer delinquencies. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, monthly late fee rates and minimum finance charges ranged up to 9.99 percent and $75, respectively. The weighted average late fee rate, net of related charge-offs, was 5.8 percent and 5.9 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and 5.7 percent and 5.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers experiencing financial difficulties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The primary source of factoring fee revenue is calculated as a negotiated percentage fee of the receivable balance that we purchase. A secondary source of factoring fee revenue is a flat rate service fee to our customers that request a non-contractual same day funding of the receivable balance. Factoring fee revenue increased $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $8.7 million for the first half of 2021, as compared with the same periods in the prior year due to increased shipping demand and increased rates, leading to an increase in the size and volume of factored invoices.

Cost of services

Processing costs increased by $6.4 million and $8.2 million for the second quarter and the first half of 2021, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. Such increases were primarily driven by higher business support costs incurred as a result of the increased volumes experienced during the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year comparable periods.

Service fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were generally consistent with the same periods in the prior year.

Provision for credit losses decreased by $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The adoption of the new credit loss accounting standard during the first quarter of 2020, coupled with an increase in expected credit losses during the first two quarters of 2020 as a result of COVID-19, resulted in a higher provision for credit losses in the prior year. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating fuel-related credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. This metric for credit losses was 8.1 and 7.2 basis points of fuel expenditures for the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, as compared to 26.9 and 25.0 basis points of fuel expenditures for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

Operating interest decreased $3.3 million and $7.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases from the comparable periods in 2020 were due primarily to lower interest rates.

Depreciation and amortization remained relatively consistent for the second quarter and first half of 2021, as compared with the same periods in the prior year.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses remained consistent for the second quarter and first half of 2021, as compared with the same periods in the prior year.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $10.6 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. These increases were driven by higher partner commissions due to volume growth and a rise in segment expenses during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the prior year’s cost containment initiatives enacted as a result of the pandemic.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $5.9 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These decreases were due primarily to lower ongoing amortization over time resulting from the impact of the accelerated method of amortization on certain acquired customer relationships.

(2) Payment solutions purchase volume represents the total dollar value of all WEX-issued transactions that use WEX corporate card products and virtual card products.

Travel and Corporate Solutions revenue increased $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $13.6 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased purchase volumes in our corporate payments business as a result of continued strength in the partner channel, increased revenues attributable to the acquisition of eNett and Optal, and continued recovery of travel volumes from pandemic related lows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were offset in part by a $3.7 million reduction in revenue during the second quarter of 2021 due to a deferral of incentives received within the year.

Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Cost of services

Processing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $3.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, from the same periods in the prior year primarily as a result of the acquisition of eNett and Optal, offset in part by a reduction of costs as a result of the sale of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary during the third quarter of 2020.

Service fees for the three months ended June 30, 2021 have increased $1.4 million from the prior year comparable period as a result of the acquisition of eNett and Optal, partially offset by lower fees as a result of a renegotiated contract with one of our vendors and the conversion of travel and corporate payments purchase volume to an internal transaction processing platform. Service fees for the six months ended June 30, 2021 remained relatively consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Provision for credit losses decreased $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $13.5 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The first half of 2020’s provision for credit losses included greater expense resulting from the adoption of the new credit loss accounting standard, coupled with an increase in expected credit losses as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first half of 2021 decreased as a result of the sale of our WEX Latin America business during the third quarter of 2020.

Operating interest expense decreased $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $2.5 million for the second half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily as a result of lower interest rates.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the second quarter of 2021 remained consistent with that of the comparable period of the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $4.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to the acquisition of eNett and Optal.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 and first half of 2021 increased by $5.2 million and $29.4 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, due primarily to integration costs related to the acquisition of eNett and Optal. Additionally, the increase in expenses for the first half of 2021 was impacted by a vendor contract termination payment in the first quarter of 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses increased for the second quarter of 2021 and first half of 2021 by $18.6 million and $29.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher relative commission payments associated with corporate payments volumes and the acquisition of eNett and Optal.

Depreciation and amortization expenses during the second quarter and first half of 2021 remained consistent with the same periods in the prior year.

(1) Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had an insignificant impact on Health and Employee Benefit Solutions revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

(2) Purchase volume represents the total U.S. dollar value of all transactions where interchange is earned by WEX.

(3) Average number of SaaS accounts represents the number of active Consumer-Directed Health, COBRA, and billing accounts on our SaaS platforms in the U.S. The average number of SaaS accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include approximately 1 million and 0.5 million temporary accounts resulting directly from services we provided as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act legislation, respectively.

Payment processing revenue increased $4.6 million and $4.8 million during the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to increasing cardholder spend volumes.

Account servicing revenue increased $16.9 million and $21.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 and first half of 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases include approximately $7 million of revenue resulting from COBRA related services we provided as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act legislation. Remaining increases are due to an increased number of participants and the effects of the benefitexpress Acquisition.

Finance fee revenue was not material to Health and Employee Benefit Solutions’ operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Other revenue decreased $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $12.1 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for the second quarter of 2021 was due primarily to lower U.S. Health professional services revenue. For the first half of 2021, other revenue additionally decreased from the absence of revenues associated with the Company's former WEX Latin America business, which was sold during the third quarter of 2020.

Cost of services

Processing costs increased $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $7.7 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases in processing costs were primarily driven by higher costs to support partner growth and increases as a result of the benefitexpress Acquisition. These favorable factors were partly offset by an absence of expenses associated with the Company's former WEX Latin America business.

Service fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. These increases were largely due to increased costs due to COBRA related services we provided as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act and growth in existing partner volumes.

Provision for credit losses was not material to Health and Employee Benefit Solutions’ operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Operating interest was not material for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2021 and first half of 2021 remained consistent with the same periods in the prior year.

Other operating expenses

General and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent for the second quarter and first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2021 increased $1.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year due to increased segment expenses as compared to the prior year’s cost containment initiatives enacted as a result of the pandemic and to the benefitexpress Acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively consistent for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization increased $3.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily as a result of the April 2021 acquisition of certain contractual rights from Bell Bank to serve as custodian or sub-custodian of certain HSAs.

Unallocated corporate expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses represent the portion of expenses relating to general corporate functions including acquisition and divestiture expenses, certain finance, legal, information technology, human resources, administrative and executive expenses and other expenses not directly attributable to a reportable segment.

The following table compares line items within operating income for unallocated corporate expenses:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)				Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)

Depreciation and amortization	$	517	$	632	$	(115)	(18)	%	$	1,056	$	1,211	$	(155)	(13)	%

General and administrative expenses increased $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $13.9 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the second quarter and first half of 2021 was primarily due to increased professional fees, including those incurred in connection with the amendment and restatement of our 2016 Credit Agreement and increased compensation-related costs, including stock compensation costs resulting from the June 2020 modification of equity awards and granting of additional awards.

Other unallocated corporate expenses were not material to the Company’s operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Non-operating income and expense

NM - Not meaningful

Financing interest expense increased $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $4.9 million for the first half of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, due primarily to the issuance of $310.0 million Convertible Notes in July 2020, offset by an overall decrease in floating interest rates.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability associated with WEX Inc.’s April 2021 acquisition of certain contractual rights from Bell Bank to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to certain HSAs, increased as a result of the steepening of the Federal Funds futures curve.

Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company incurred net foreign currency gains of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 and losses of $1.4 million in the first half of 2021. The gain in the second quarter of 2021 resulted from the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as compared to the prior quarter. However, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s net foreign currency transactions remained in a loss position as a result of the remeasurement of assets and liabilities and losses on intercompany transactions, resulting from the U.S. dollar strengthening relative to numerous major foreign currencies in which we transact.

The Company incurred unrealized gains on financial instruments of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $13.0 million in the first half of 2021 due to an increase in the fair value of new and existing interest rate swaps, primarily as a result of an increase in the LIBOR forward yield curve. The net unrealized losses on financial instruments for the second quarter and first half of 2020 resulted primarily from a decrease in the LIBOR forward yield curve.

48

The Company’s effective tax rate was (7.9) percent and (7.8) percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 310.8 percent and 104.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The significant decrease in the Company’s tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation. Effective tax rates were higher in the prior year primarily due to the jurisdictional earnings mix and decrease in estimated income before income taxes with relatively significant non-deductible expenses.

Net income from non-controlling interests relates to our non-controlling interests in the U.S. Health business and our non-controlling interests in WEX Europe Services through April 13, 2021, at which time we purchased the remaining interest in WEX Europe Services. Such amounts were not material to Company operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the change in value of our redeemable non-controlling interest in the U.S. Health business increased by $43.8 million and $68.9 million, respectively, due to increases in the trailing twelve month net revenues and market set multiple used to value the non-controlling interest redemption value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the redeemable non-controlling interest in the U.S. Health business decreased due substantially to a second quarter change in the redemption value resulting from a pandemic-driven decline in revenue multiplies of peer companies.

Non–GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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.

Although adjusted net income is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this non-GAAP measure is integral to the Company’s reporting and planning processes and the CODM uses segment adjusted operating income to allocate resources among our operating segments. The Company considers this measure integral because it excludes 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 change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to the acquisition of certain contractual rights from Bell Bank to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to health savings accounts, is dependent upon changes in future interest rates and has no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the Company. 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.

•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 on 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, other costs additionally include a penalty of $10.3 million incurred on a vendor contract termination. For the six months ended June 30, 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 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, have no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the business.

•The tax related items are the difference between the Company’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 GAAP tax provision.

For the same reasons, WEX believes that adjusted net income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating the Company’s performance. However, because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, it 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 as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash generating capability, financial condition and operations, together with the sources of cash listed below, will be adequate to fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

The table below summarizes our primary short-term sources and uses of cash:

50

Sources of cash	Uses of cash(1)
•Borrowings on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement •Convertible Notes •Deposits •Borrowed federal funds •Participation debt •Accounts receivable factoring and securitization arrangements	•Payments on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement •Payments on maturities and withdrawals of certificates of deposit and brokered money market deposits •Payments on borrowed federal funds •Working capital needs of the business •Capital expenditures

(1) Our long-term cash requirements consist primarily of amounts owed on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and various facilities lease agreements.

The table below summarizes our cash activities:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2021		2020
Cash flows (used for) provided by operating activities	$	(121,982)	$	725,946
Cash flows used for investing activities	$	(595,407)	$	(41,609)
Cash flows provided by (used for) financing activities	$	398,779	$	(203,828)

Operating Activities

We fund a customer’s entire receivable as part of fleet and travel payment processing transactions, while the revenue generated by these transactions is only a small percentage of that amount. Consequently, cash flows from operations are impacted significantly by changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, which directly impact our capital resource requirements.

Cash generated by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $847.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was substantially related to an increase in accounts receivable balances resulting from higher customer spend volumes and fuel prices, which was partially offset by a corresponding increase in accounts payable balances.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $553.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from $558.3 million of payments made for acquisitions, including the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian of HSAs from Bell Bank and the benefitexpress Acquisition.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $398.8 million, due primarily to an increase in deposits of $451.3 million. The early redemption of the Company’s $400.0 million of Notes, as further described within the preceding Summary section of this MD&A, was substantially offset by additional term loan borrowings of $80.8 million, net of quarterly repayments, and net borrowings of $265.0 million against our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company used $203.8 million primarily toward the repayment of its debt.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2021, the Company amended and restated the 2016 Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to (i) increase commitments under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility from $870.0 million to $930.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) provide additional senior secured tranche A term loans (the Tranche A Term Loans”) resulting in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans equal to $978.4 million, (iii) re-establish the senior secured tranche B term loans’ aggregate principal at $1,442.0 million (the “Tranche B Term Loans”), (iv) eliminate the 0.75 percent eurocurrency rate floor with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (v) make certain other changes to the previously existing 2016 Credit Agreement, including without limitation, (a) extending the maturity dates for the Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility to April 1, 2026 and the maturity date for the Tranche B Term Loans to April 1, 2028, (b) providing additional flexibility with respect to certain negative covenants, prepayments and other provisions of the Company’s previously existing 2016 Credit Agreement, and (c) revising the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio for all future quarters, including a reduction from 7.50 to 1:00 to 6.25 to 1:00 for quarters ending through September 30, 2021, with step-downs in periods thereafter.

51

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an outstanding principal amount of $966.2 million on the Tranche A Term Loans, an outstanding principal amount of $1,438.4 million on the Tranche B Term Loans, borrowings of $265.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit of $51.7 million drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin, which is fixed at 1.25 percent for base rate borrowings and 2.25 percent with respect to eurocurrency rate borrowings. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent of the daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, determined based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Prior to maturity, the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans require scheduled quarterly payments of $12.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, due on the last day of each March, June, September and December.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, incremental loans could be made available upon the request of the Company, subject to specified terms and conditions, including receipt of lender commitments. Such incremental loans may not exceed the greater of (x) $375.0 million and (y) 75 percent of consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for certain voluntary prepayments and repurchases of term loans, reductions of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, and Incremental Facilities, as defined within the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, established or incurred, or that could be established or incurred without causing the Company’s consolidated secured leverage ratio to exceed 4:00 to 1:00.

See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Financing and Other Debt, in this report for further information regarding the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Convertible Notes Outstanding

On July 1, 2020, the Company closed on a private placement with Warburg Pincus, pursuant to which the Company issued $310.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. The issuance of the Convertible Notes provided the Company with net proceeds of approximately $299.2 million after original issue discount. The Convertible Notes have a seven-year term and mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Interest on the Convertible Notes is calculated at a fixed rate of 6.5 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears beginning January 15, 2021. At the Company's option, interest is either payable in cash, through accretion to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, or a combination of cash and accretion. The Company has paid, and expects to continue to pay interest in cash as it comes due.

The Convertible Notes may be converted at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity, or earlier redemption or repurchase of the Convertible Notes, based upon an initial conversion price of $200 per share of common stock. The Company may settle conversions of Convertible Notes, at its election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustments customary for convertible debt securities and a weighted average adjustment in the event of issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company at prices below the then applicable conversion price for the Convertible Notes or the then market price of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain exceptions. It is the Company’s current intention to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes in shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company will have the right, at any time after July 1, 2023, to redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part if the closing price of WEX’s common stock is at least 200 percent of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes for 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) out of any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to the time the Company delivers a redemption notice (including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the last day of such 30 trading day period), subject to the right of holders of the Convertible Notes to convert its Convertible Notes prior to the redemption date.

The indenture associated with the Convertible Notes includes a debt incurrence covenant that restricts the Company from incurring certain indebtedness, including disqualified stock and preferred stock issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, including if, after giving effect to any such proposed incurrence or issuance, and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the ratio of (x) the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, to (y) the Company’s consolidated fixed charges for such period would be greater than 1.5:1.0. The indenture contains other customary terms and covenants, including customary events of default.

Deposits

52

WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. WEX Bank accepts its deposits through: (i) certain customers as required collateral for credit that has been extended (“customer deposits”) and (ii) contractual arrangements with brokerage firms for both certificate of deposit and money market deposit products. Customer deposits are generally non-interest bearing, certificates of deposit are issued at fixed rates and brokered money market deposits are issued at both fixed and variable rates based on LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate.

Deposits are classified based on their contractual maturities, which are explicitly stated for certificates of deposit. While brokered money market deposits may be withdrawn by the holder at any time, the allowed number of transactions may be limited and notification may be required. Customer deposits are released at the termination of the relationship, net of any customer receivable, or upon reevaluation of the customer’s credit in limited instances.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we had $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, in deposits. Remaining maturities on the deposits outstanding as of June 30, 2021 ranged from less than 1 month to 4 years. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 8, Deposits, in this report for further information regarding our deposits.

Borrowed Federal Funds

WEX Bank borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. Our federal funds lines of credit were $568.0 million and $376.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there were outstanding borrowings of $20.0 million.

Participation Debt

From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. Associated unsecured borrowings generally carry a variable interest rate of 1 month to 3 month LIBOR plus a margin of 225 basis points.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had an outstanding participation agreement for the borrowing of up to $60.0 million through December 31, 2021. There were no amounts borrowed against this participation agreement as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

WEX Europe Services Accounts Receivable Factoring

WEX Europe Services has entered into a factoring arrangement with an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “Purchasing Bank”) to sell certain of its accounts receivable in order to accelerate the collection of the Company’s cash and reduce the internal costs, thereby improving liquidity. The agreement remains in effect through December 31, 2021, after which the agreement automatically renews annually unless either party gives not less than 90 days written notice of their intention to withdraw. Under this arrangement, the Purchasing Bank establishes a credit limit for each customer account. The factored receivables are without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the established credit limit. For customer receivable balances in excess of the Purchasing Bank’s credit limit, the Company maintains the risk of default. The Company obtained a true sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement creates a sale of receivables under local law for amounts transferred both below and above the established credit limits. As a result, the Purchasing Bank is deemed the purchaser of these receivables and is entitled to enforce payment of these amounts from the debtor. The Company continues to service these receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. Available capacity is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. As such, this factoring arrangement can be reduced or eliminated at any time due to market conditions and changes in the credit worthiness of our customers, which would negatively impact our liquidity.

WEX Bank Accounts Receivable Factoring

WEX Bank has entered into a receivables purchase agreement with an unrelated third-party financial institution to sell certain of our trade receivables under non-recourse transactions. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the agreement was extended through August 2022, after which the agreement can be renewed for successive one-year periods assuming WEX provides advance written notice that is accepted by the purchaser. WEX Bank continues to service the receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. The Company obtained a true-sale opinion from an independent attorney, which states that the factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon WEX Bank bankruptcy or receivership under local law. As such, transfers under this arrangement are treated as a sale. Proceeds from the sale are reported net of negotiated discount rates and are accounted for as a reduction in trade accounts receivable because effective control of the receivables is transferred to the buyer.

53

Securitization Facilities

The Company is a party to two securitized debt agreements. Under these agreements, our subsidiaries sell trade accounts receivable to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries consolidated by the Company. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Financing and Other Debt, for more information regarding these facilities.

Regulatory Risk    

The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit our business activities and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. As of June 30, 2021, WEX Bank met all the requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized” pursuant to FDIC regulation and for purposes of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 18, Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure, for further information.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2021, we had variable-rate borrowings of $2.7 billion under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which bore a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.2 percent. We periodically review our projected borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the current interest rate environment to determine if we should use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate volatility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into five new interest rate swap contracts with a collective notional amount of $0.9 billion. As of June 30, 2021, we maintained eleven interest rate swap contracts in total that are intended to economically hedge the LIBOR component of future interest payments associated with our variable rate borrowings. The fixed rates on those interest rate swap contracts range between 0.435 percent and 2.413 percent.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Earnings outside of the United States are accompanied by certain financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may reduce the reported value of our foreign currency revenues, net of expenses, and cash flows. We cannot predict changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of exchange rate changes, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes.

Undistributed Earnings

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to an estimated $88.5 million and $58.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability, however, it is not expected to be material.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

Even though off-balance sheet arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under GAAP, such arrangements may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations. These arrangements serve a variety of business purposes, however, the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. We are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had posted letters of credit totaling $51.7 million and $51.6 million, respectively, as collateral under the terms of our lease agreement for our corporate offices, other corporate matters and for payment processing activity at certain foreign subsidiaries.

See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, for further information about the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.

54

Contractual Obligations

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to purchase a minimum amount of fuel from suppliers on an annual basis. If the minimum requirement is not fulfilled, they are subject to penalties based on the amount of spend below the minimum annual volume commitment. The Company incurred penalties of $1.5 million and $3.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of lower volumes resulting from COVID-19.

With the exception of the changes as a result of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and our Notes Redemption, as discussed earlier within this Liquidity and Capital Resources section and in Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Financing and Other Debt, respectively, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Share Repurchases

We currently have authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to $150 million of our common stock until September 2021, which is entirely unused as of June 30, 2021. The program is funded either through our future cash flows or through borrowings on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Share repurchases are to be made on the open market and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors, determines the timing and number of shares repurchased.

Asset and Business Acquisitions

On April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. completed the acquisition from Bell Bank of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to health savings accounts from the Healthcare Bank division of Bell Bank, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc.. This acquisition increases the Company’s role in its customer-directed healthcare ecosystem and aligns with its growth strategy. On the closing of the acquisition, WEX Inc. paid Bell Bank initial cash consideration of $200.0 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, WEX Inc. agreed to make an additional deferred cash payment of $25.0 million in July 2023 and a second additional deferred cash payment $25.0 million in January 2024. As of June 1, 2021, in connection with the acquisition by WEX Health of Cirrus Holdings, LLC, the second deferred payment of $25.0 million in exchange for the Payment Reduction. As a result of the Payment Reduction, WEX Inc. continues to owe Bell Bank $12.5 million for the second additional deferred cash payment, which is due and payable in January 2024.

The purchase agreement also includes potential additional consideration payable annually that is calculated on a quarterly basis and is contingent, and based, upon any future increases in the Federal Funds rate. The contingent payment period began on July 1, 2021 and shall extend until the earlier of (i) the year ending December 31, 2030, or (ii) the date when the cumulative amount paid as contingent consideration equals $225.0 million in the aggregate.

On April 13, 2021, the Company both entered into a share purchase agreement for, and consummated the acquisition of, the remaining interest in WEX Europe Services it did not own previously, which consisted of 25 percent of the issued ordinary share capital, for a purchase price of $97.0 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns 100 percent of the issued ordinary share capital of WEX Europe Services, which operates part of our fleet business in the United Kingdom and Europe.

On June 1, 2021, WEX Inc.’s subsidiary, WEX Health, Inc., completed the benefitexpress Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive purchase agreement, WEX Health consummated the benefitexpress Acquisition for total consideration of approximately $275 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments. WEX Health is owned by PO Holding, which is majority owned by WEX Inc., with a non-controlling interest being held by SBI, which is owned by State Bankshares, Inc., the owner of Bell Bank. To facilitate the benefitexpress Acquisition, WEX Inc., PO Holding, SBI and Bell Bank entered into the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which WEX Inc. purchased approximately $262.5 million in value of shares in PO Holding and SBI acquired approximately $12.5 million in value of shares in PO Holding in exchange for SBI granting the Payment Reduction.

Dividends

The Company has not declared any dividends on its common stock since it commenced trading on the NYSE on February 16, 2005. The timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will be: (i) dependent upon the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and other relevant factors; (ii) subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company; and (iii) payable only out of the Company’s surplus or current net profits in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

55

The Company has certain restrictions on the dividends it may pay under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including pro forma compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio of 2.75:1.00 as of June 30, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policy for the recording of our convertible debt changed effective January 1, 2021 with the adoption of ASU 2020-06. We have included the 2021 implemented policy below. We have no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Convertible Notes

Description	Assumptions/Approach Used	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
ASU 2020-06 no longer requires that the Company bifurcate its convertible debt’s conversion feature between a liability and equity component. In addition, the standard requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share.	Prior to January 1, 2021, the Convertible Notes were recorded at a debt discount with an initial carrying value of $237.5 million, with the residual $54.7 million recognized within additional paid-in capital on the Company’s December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2021, the convertible debt and its conversion feature are now accounted for as a single unit of account, with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent. It is the Company’s current intention to settle all conversion of the Convertible Notes in shares of the Company’s stock.	Under the “if-converted” method, approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock associated with the assumed conversion of these Convertible Notes as of the beginning of the period have been excluded from diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the effect of including such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

See Part I – Item 1 – Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10–Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of June 30, 2021, we have no material changes to the market risk disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc., evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal control over financial reporting to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

56

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the the first half of 2021. However, from time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to: commercial disputes; contract disputes; employment litigation; disputes regarding our intellectual property rights; alleged infringement or misappropriation by us of intellectual property rights of others; and, matters relating to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, we are cooperating with an SEC investigation arising from the revision of our financial statements as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018 due to issues involving our former Brazil subsidiary, which was sold in September 2020, including financial and disclosure controls and procedures. As of the date of this filing, based in part on recent discussions the Company has had with the SEC regarding the possible settlement of this matter, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from these matters is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 is qualified by the information that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the additional risk factors set forth below. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. As a result of the April 1, 2021 acquisition of certain assets from Bell Bank discussed in Part I – Item 1, Note 4, Acquisitions, Asset Acquisition to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q, WEX Inc. became the passive non-bank custodian, under designation by the U.S. Department of Treasury, of over $3 billion of custodial assets for individual health savings account holders. Although the dollar amount over which WEX Inc. is the non-bank custodian fluctuates, as a non-bank custodian, WEX Inc. is subject to certain risks, including those set forth below.

As a non-bank custodian WEX Inc. is subject to regulation and noncompliance could render it unable to maintain its non-bank custodian status.

As a non-bank custodian, WEX Inc. is required to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.408-2(e) (the “Treasury Regulations”), including the net worth and administration of fiduciary duties requirements, among other requirements. If WEX Inc. should fail to comply with the Treasury Regulations, including the net worth and administration of fiduciary powers requirements, such failure would materially and adversely affect its ability to maintain its current custodial accounts and to grow by adding additional custodial accounts, and it could result in the institution of procedures for the revocation of its authorization to operate as a non-bank custodian, any or all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

A business failure in WEX Inc.’s primary federally insured depository partner could materially and adversely affect its business.

As a non-bank custodian, WEX Inc. relies primarily on a single federally insured depository partner to hold its custodial cash assets. If any material adverse event were to affect this depository partner, including a significant decline in its financial condition, a decline in the quality of its service, loss of deposits, its inability to comply with applicable banking and financial services regulatory requirements, or systems failure, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if WEX Inc. were required to change depository partners, we could not accurately predict the success of such change or that the terms of our agreements with such new depository partners would be on equal or better terms as the agreements we have with our current depository partner.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
